Chapter 493

Wu Xiuwen's talk made song xiance ecstatic and open his ears. But Liu Bu didn't believe it at all. He didn't believe in these absurd things, because Liu Bu knew that it was always people, not a pile of graves, who decided the fate and the general trend of the world. Liu Bu only recognized that heaven and earth had no eyes, mountains and rivers had no spirit, and heaven and earth were not benevolent. He took everything as a ruminant dog? When did people care about ruminant dogs?

The decline of Daming is obvious now. The only one who can destroy Daming is JianNu. However, no one in Daming will have this idea. Who can believe that the Ming Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of millions, will be ruled by JianNu with a population of only 200000?

Although Daming now let JianNu hang him, all officials of Daming are optimistic that once Daming breathes out and concentrates superior forces, it will not be difficult to clean up JianNu. Many officials of Daming also believe that Daming has a great cause, and it is not a problem to lose several times, but JianNu only needs to lose once, He'll be finished.

If Liu Bu said that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed by JianNu, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty would be ruled by JianNu, I believe these people would spray his fart on his face, scold him bloody, and think he was alarmist and full of nonsense.

Even if some people raise JianNu to the level of Daming's great enemy of life and death, in fact, it is mainly to strengthen the appeal of their words. In essence, they don't think Daming can let JianNu be destroyed?

Liu Bu almost heard for the first time that Daming might die in JianNu and they might enter the Central Plains. Although this person started with the art of geomantic omen and geomancy and analyzed it, the result is true.

The theory of Feng Shui is illusory, but Liu Bu knows one thing. It is a mysterious knowledge. Even in the 21st century, many billionaires and social elites in later generations are very superstitious and trust in this aspect.

In this era of national superstition, Feng Shui has risen to a very high level. Even as the main basis for analyzing things, Liu Bu is surprised. How does Wu Xiuwen know the secrets only known by the senior leaders of JianNu?

It turned out that Wu Xiuwen was chased and killed by his enemies more than 20 years ago and hid outside the pass for more than ten years. He didn't make a living outside the pass and couldn't use deception. He could only hang a bill in a Taoist temple.

This period of time coincided with the rise of Nurhachi. He even met Nurhachi and dealt with some people around him. It can be said that he knew many secret things about the high-level construction of slaves.

Liu Bu found that the man knew a lot of things. He was a talent, so he left him around, let him serve as his own military division, and let him provide advice on some things.

Wu Xiuwen is different from Song xiance. Song xiance is an ambitious wild Taoist. He is familiar with the book of war and likes to analyze problems through the strategy of the book of war. However, Wu Xiuwen analyzes problems through Xiangshu and comparable skills. In his heart's words, the reason why he stayed with Liu Bu was that they found that all the people around Liu Bu were the talents of overlords and the characters with the fate of princes and generals, If you can join them, you can naturally take this ride. If you are greedy for a small official position and work in a local place, you can't enter the small circle of Liu Buzhe.

And he knows better that he has made such great contributions to the Liu family. He has a high position in the Liu family, but he also knows a lot of things. Staying with Liu Bu can reassure Liu bu. If he hides out of the sight of the other party, he will make the other party think more and kill him.

So Wu Xiuwen simply stayed with Liu Bu as Liu Bu's staff and participated in the military aircraft.

Although there are many talents around Liu Bu, the main strategy is still formulated by him. For example, he insisted on fighting JianNu here in Jinzhou and LvDa to understand the details of JianNu, so as to fight with JianNu in the future.

In fact, Liu Bu's subordinates also have some ambitious people, such as Liu Zhongyong and others. After they have fought so many wars, their ambitions are also growing with the growth of their strength. They, who are from the bottom, understand how corrupt the bottom of Daming is. Daming is so weak, so they can take advantage of the situation, Seize more benefits.

Therefore, they are not interested in going out of the pass to fight JianNu, because even if they win JianNu and seize the land outside the pass, they are all leftovers, not rich places. Like Liu Zhongyong and others, they are more keen to eliminate the exiles. If they chase and kill the exiles, they can occupy some rich places. As long as they occupy these rich places, If you become your sphere of influence, you can expand yourself again.

For example, they had a very good start before. Wouldn't it be nice to be a Fengyang commander in chief and dominate the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty? It would be a big failure to come to guanwai. If Liu Bu didn't have a backhand and troops stationed in the dark to prepare for entering this area in the future, it would be opposed by his subordinates.

In fact, the reason for their opposition is very simple. This is because it is too poor outside the pass. Even if you occupy the whole of Liaodong, it is not enough to level the world. What about Li Chengliang who occupied the whole of Liaodong in those years? However, if you occupy several sites in the confidants of Daming, it will be different, which can expand their power even more.

It is worth mentioning here that after Liu Bu's silver incubation incident, he severely laid down the wool in Jiangnan, but the people's livelihood in Jiangnan withered. Although governor Zhu Dadian of Fengyang put forward the theory that money owed is uncle, there is no doubt that those who owe money can't be uncle after all. After all, they still owe money to grandchildren.

In particular, a few months after the silver hatching incident, the imperial court thought that it was over and had been suppressed, so it began to increase taxes in this place again.

The silver hatching incident did not directly cause the financial collapse of Daming. This is only a superficial phenomenon. This is because these officials have lost a lot. Now they are desperately squeezing and desperately searching for money, hoping to make up for their losses. It just didn't break out for a while and a half, but Wu Zongda, who is responsible for pacifying the local people in the south of the Yangtze River, However, he thought that the matter was over, and the rich Jiangnan had survived it.

Therefore, when the Imperial Court dealt with JianNu and roving bandits on the one hand, it needed a lot of money and food, so he agreed to the request of the emperor and the imperial court to increase taxes in these places.

Originally, the oppression and exploitation of the government made people's life extremely difficult. They just barely had a meal. Those who can eat a full meal are rich families. Many families eat half full every day and live a very hard life.

However, the government again increased the intensity of oppression and exploitation, which made the local unbearable. Finally, there were resistance actions against rent and tax in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, but they were strongly suppressed by the government. However, the more the government suppressed, the stronger the people's resistance. The whole south of the Yangtze River was in deep water. It was originally a place of heavy taxes in the Ming Dynasty, Relying solely on the land tax in the south of the Yangtze River can maintain the expenditure in the north of the Ming Dynasty. However, after this incident, the imperial court did not find a way to make up for the local losses and reduce the local pressure, but increased its efforts to squeeze, which led to the complete outbreak of the contradiction between the two sides.

According to the information collected by Liu Bu, the economy of the 13 governments in Jiangnan has completely collapsed in many places, but there is no term economic crisis, and the government has no ability to deal with it. Therefore, many people just think it is the problem of people's resistance to rent and tax, but Liu Bu knows that this is actually a huge crisis, If such a thing is not handled well, its harm to Daming will not be under a rebellion.

All this was expected by Liu bu. If there was no rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River and there was no chaos in the world, what chance would he have to win in the chaos.

Only when there is an accident in Da Jiangnan, a land with heavy taxes, and it is unable to provide money and food to the north, will the foundation of Daming be shaken.

Am I cruel? Mean? Liu Bu asked himself, but when he thought that later, when JianNu invaded the Ming Dynasty, he killed all the way into the south of the Yangtze River, such as the 10th Yangzhou, the third massacre in Jiading, the Guangzhou massacre, etc., he didn't feel guilty at all. A small-scale riot and economic crisis was better than the whole south of the Yangtze River.

When will he take action? When Daming was about to collapse? If there is no accident in the south of the Yangtze River, which is as stable as Mount Tai and continuously provides money and food for the north of the Ming Dynasty, the Liu family will have no chance. This opportunity will eventually be left to JianNu and let them replace it.

Therefore, Liu Bu called all this as short-term pain rather than long-term pain. He triggered the crisis in advance, causing chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, causing chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and causing chaos in the north, so that they had more opportunities. Then in the Ming Dynasty, there was no money and food in the north, and there was no way to feed so many armies without money and food, which was not enough to support their large-scale military operations. In this way, they took advantage of the situation, The opportunity is coming.

Up to now, Liu Bu has a deep understanding of what kindness is not in charge of the army. Since you are a general in charge of the army, you can't have the benevolence of women and men. His only thought is to achieve great things with the least sacrifice.

What he is thinking is that even if it is worse now, it is no worse than the demise of Daming and the slaughter of the whole Jiangnan by JianNu. Therefore, he has triggered an economic crisis in advance, so that Jiangnan can not provide money and food to Daming, and the north can not afford its huge war machine. This is his established strategy.

This is also the strategy formulated by Liu's father and son. They are ready to rebel, but Liu Bu can't tell his father that I am a transgressor. I can know the past and future. The future Daming will be over and we can replace it.

He can only analyze Daming's national conditions, that is, by incubating silver, he can rapidly expand himself and weaken Daming. When Jiangnan falls into great turmoil and economic crisis, it can not provide enough money to transport to the north to support Daming's war machine. Without the support of these money and food, Daming will become weaker and weaker, and their opportunity will come.
