Chapter 1756 Crossover
The night was dark, and in the government affairs hall of Wu County, several oil lamps were shining brightly, and the figure of Sun Quan was reflected on the surrounding walls, big or small, bright or dark.
Sun Quan sat by the case and looked at the documents. Even if he is in his current position, he still has to do a lot of desk work, and it''s not enough to just leave things to the subordinates.
Although it is said that the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty has almost collapsed, the general structure is still preserved and has become a copy of the new system established by Sun Quan. These documents are Sun Quan''s control, coordination and management of his Jiangdong system.
Zhou Yu is here.
Then Zhou Yu left again.
It was not Zhou Yu''s intention to hurry, but after all, only in this way can Sun Quan feel at ease. Zhou Yu had said before that if there were no major incidents, he would supervise the training of soldiers in Baqiu. If Zhou Yu hadn''t really looked down on this time, he might not have come here.
Sun Quan loves, hates, and envies Zhou Yu, which is very complicated.
It can be said that in the current Jiangdong, Zhou Yu''s status is no lower than that of Sun Quan, and the reason is very simple. First of all, Zhou Yu was the one who raised troops with Sun Ce. At that time, Jiangdong was still a mess, and there was nothing. It can be said that the Sun family had the foundation of Jiangdong, which was basically achieved by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu is the foundation of the Eastern Wu. There is no doubt about it.
So to Soochow, Zhou Yu is no different from the founding minister. At the same time, when Sun Ce fell, it was Zhou Yu who appeased and coordinated those veterans and let them support Sun Quan. It can be said that Zhou Yu was kind to Jiangdong and Sun Quan. Without Zhou Yu, Jiangdong would have become a mess. There is no possibility of unity.
Therefore, Sun Quan also made Zhou Yu the governor. The two seemed to be in harmony on the surface, but in fact Sun Quan did not give Zhou Yu all the military power in his hands...
There is no other, just a trade-off.
Sun Ce’s original team who opened up Jiangdong, many of them were from the Huaisi area, basically they were called the Huaisi faction, while in Jiangdong, led by the four Jiangdong families, they can generally be called the local faction.
Sun Quan wants to find a balance between these two factions, but obviously, this balance is not so easy to find...
Although the entire government affairs hall is quiet and peaceful now, the quarrel that broke out here before is still colliding and noisy in Sun Quan''s mind...
...(╬￣dish￣)...
"My lord, if you don''t want others to know, don''t do it!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan angrily. Looking at this guy who behaves completely differently from Sun Ce, his uncontrollable anger made Zhou Yu not even want to defend his appearance. respect.
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then his anger rose: "Zhou Gongjin, you are so brave!" If it was a while ago, Sun Quan would not dare to quarrel with Zhou Yu like this, but now Sun Quan feels that he has a certain strength, and then he heard Zhou Yu''s rude words , Naturally, he was very angry.
Zhou Yu was silent for a while, his eyes were like knives, piercing Sun Quan''s back with sweat.
"My lord thinks it''s a good idea to harvest the Yue people and farm the fields. Firstly, it can stabilize the foundation, and secondly, it can bring together the four clans. But I don''t know that it is actually a hidden cause of disaster, and sooner or later the foundation will be overturned!" If there are other things, Zhou Yu can bear it. So once it comes to the issue of Sun''s foundation, Zhou Yu will never stand idly by. Because for Zhou Yu, the Sun family''s foundation is the only imprint left by Sun Ce in this world.
The four major families in Jiangdong have formed a complete structure. The main family stands out as the leader, leading the direction and facing the future.
So from this point of view, the four Jiangdong families are actually a whole, and the marriage is like a bond. Although the four families have some friction to some extent, they still have the same goal as a whole.
Sun Quan arrested the Yue people, and then came to the army as slaves, and then the four families did not speak, and accepted the Yue people sent by Sun Quan with a smile, but it does not mean that the four families sat in the same chariot as Sun Quan!
"Why did you say that?" Sun Quan was a little stunned and asked directly after pondering for a while.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this action is tantamount to killing a chicken and taking its eggs, drinking poison to quench thirst, and there will be chaos in the end...People''s grievances are full, and the benefits are not half, why bother?"
Sun Quan''s division of Runyue people seems to have reached a consensus with the Jiangdong four surnames, and advances and retreats together, but in fact Sun Quan has endured all the public anger, and the Jiangdong four surnames on the one hand said that this is what Sun Quan will do, and on the other hand accepted the Yue people with a smile. Even though Sun Quan''s Yue people''s interests accounted for most of it, Sun Quan needed a lot of corresponding expenditures, so overall, the benefits Sun Quan received may not actually be more than that of the four surnames in Jiangdong.
On the other hand, after all, Yue people are not spring leeks, but people. After all, they need a time to give birth. It seems good to arrest these Yue people in a short time, but then what? Since the captured Yue people are slaves, they are equivalent to a tool, so who would cherish a cheap tool like disposable tableware? Therefore, it will inevitably be consumed at an extremely fast speed. Even if Sun Quan gave these slaves a little soup to keep them alive, the slaves would be quickly damaged and exhausted due to the dissatisfaction and resistance of the slaves.
At that time, Sun Quan will have to face a dilemma. One is that the cost of arresting Yueren is getting higher and higher. After all, no one is willing to be someone else''s slave after birth, and Yueren''s escape and resistance have become inevitable. ; Second, in order to maintain the previously reclaimed farmland, either Sun Quan was forced to convert the original subordinates into slaves, because only slaves can generate high profits, or he had to give up taking care of these understaffed fields or abandon the cultivation of slaves. No matter what kind of model it is, it will have a great shock to Sun Quan''s regime...
The four Jiangdong families are fanning the flames while reaping profits.
Sun Quan rushed up to fight and tear the prey, and the four Jiangdong families cheered both sides behind, saying that they were fair and just. Then Sun Quan won, and went up to lick Sun Quan''s wounds, so that Sun Quan would lick some blood at the same time. After eating, the other side immediately gnawed some prey and put it into the water. After all, most of the fat was still left to Sun Quan, completely forgetting that he had fueled the prey before...
Until one day, Sun Quan fell down with many scars, and the four families in Jiangdong rushed forward, biting Sun Quan''s body and reiterated that they were on the side of justice, clamoring that justice may be late, but it will never come. What kind of slogan will be absent, divide up Sun Quan''s corpse, throw Sun Quan''s water to the prey who is also scarred, or train him to become the next Sun Quan...
"Why bother? Why bother?" Zhou Yu analyzed to Sun Quan little by little, and then looked at Sun Quan, "My lord is only twenty years old, just stick to it. In less than ten years, Jiangdong will be like a rock. Why bother to make such a rash move?" Act of?"
"Brother Gongjin..." After listening to Sun Quan, he was silent for a long time, and sighed, "If there is no achievement in a certain ten years... let alone ten years, it will be three years. To advance is to retreat! Fei Hussars occupy Guanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, Cao Sikong sees Hebei being invaded and swallowed, and Jiangdong has Jingxiang and Liu Jingsheng on the left blocking the way, and on the right there are Yue people with various surnames...Brother Gongjin, if you don’t make this hasty strategy, you can do it again how?"
What Sun Quan said is also heartfelt.
Sun Quan is like the president of Sun''s foundation, but besides the president, there are various investors, such as Mrs. Wu''s brothers, and even veterans like Zhou Yu. Jiangdong''s relationship is connected, and Sun Quan, a latecomer, if he can''t make any strategic profit, naturally don''t think about how long he can sit in this position...
Even if Sun Quan has no brothers, he still has nephews, or even Wu''s relatives!
Therefore, Sun Quan''s sense of crisis is actually very strong.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and finally understood the biggest difference between him and Sun Quan. What Zhou Yu valued was Sun''s foundation, while Sun Quan valued his own position. Although the interests and goals of two people are the same in some places, they are like two different lines that intersect in one place for a short time, and then go in different directions.
Zhou Yu stood up, "This is the end of my words... I hope my lord think twice... So, leave..." Zhou Yu had prepared some policies and strategies, but now, Zhou Yu felt that even if he said it, Sun Quan might not be willing to listen, even if he listened I don''t know how to do it, so I don''t bother to waste any more words.
"..." Sun Quan watched Zhou Yu bow in silence, then retreated step by step, hesitating to speak.
Zhou Yu retreated to a position close to the door, stopped suddenly, turned around and walked back.
Sun Quan couldn''t help showing a smile: "Brother Gongjin..."
"My lord," Zhou Yu cupped his hands, "The matter of Huang''s crossbow...My lord still needs to deal with it one or two more..."
Sun Quan: (￣口￣)!!
"This subordinate will leave..." Zhou Yu looked away, lowered his head, and left again.
…(≧Д≦)ノ…
Recalling the previous scene again, Sun Quan realized that Zhou Yu''s last sentence was not really the evidence Zhou Yu found, but the evidence he got from Sun Quan''s reaction.
Falling into Zhou Yu''s scheme again, Sun Quan felt helpless and ashamed.
After all, Sun Quan himself knew that there was still some intellectual gap between him and Zhou Yu.
However, this does not change Sun Quan''s original strategy.
Sun Quan put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.
Jiangdong started from Sun Ce, and now Sun Quan has taken over, and it has gradually developed to a bottleneck.
To the east, there is a vast ocean. Although Sun Quan also heard that the four Jiangdong families have some shipbuilding technology, but after all, they belong to the four Jiangdong families, and the sea is unpredictable, so can they guarantee that there will be profits?
To the south, let’s not talk about Shanyue. Just those dense forests that have grown for thousands of years are enough to give Sun Quan a headache. Before the Han Dynasty entered the Little Ice Age, this area of ??South Vietnam was similar to a tropical rainforest...
Even if you set fire to the fields, you have to be close to the water source to transform them into cultivated land. Therefore, the cost of developing southward is very high, and there is no guarantee of income.
The only choice is to go north or west.
To the north is Cao Cao, to the west is Liu Biao. For Jiangdong, the desire to go west, or strategic needs, is obviously greater than going north. After all, as the great river flows eastward, the original natural dangers are negligible in front of Jingzhou. Jingzhou located upstream can attack downstream, but Jiangdong can only go upstream...
If the west and the north can be disturbed, Sun Quan will naturally have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
Under such a grand strategic thinking, Sun Quan certainly hoped that these guys in the Central Plains would fight together, and then he could calmly reap the benefits. Just like the empire on which the sun never sets in history, the mainland''s reputation as a shit-stirring stick is not in vain. Sun Quan didn''t know what a mainland shit-stirring stick was, but it didn''t prevent Sun Quan from trying to create conflicts among Fei Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, hoping to achieve the envisioned goal.
However, Fei Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, who are located in the Central Plains, are so silent? Could it be that it was discovered? Not really, the ones sent out are all dead soldiers raised by the Sun family for many years, so we must not reveal half of it...
Maybe, wait?
Sun Quan turned his head, took off the long sword hanging on the sword stand behind him, and with light force, drew it out under the oil lamp, with a cold light overflowing.
This was originally the sword of his elder brother Sun Ce, and later Sun Ce gave it to him.
The long sword is three feet three, more than three fingers wide, with blades on both sides, and a blood groove in the middle. The steel pattern on the sword body shines more and more under the oil lamp. On the part of the sword body where the mouth is swallowed is engraved a head of Yazi, with canine teeth up and down, and round eyes glaring. The handle of the sword is wrapped with thin hemp rope mixed with leather, which ensures the grip, but it will not be too slippery due to blood stains.
Sun Quan first pointed the long sword at the oil lamp, and then looked at the tip of the sword from the bottom little by little to see if there was any rust. Then he took a piece of brocade and wiped it along the sword body thinly and little by little...
I have climbed to this position, and I feel more and more how precious authority is. How can I just give up so easily?
Those who are cheeky are just floating clouds.
Personal standpoints are different, and naturally feel different.
For Zhou Yu, what he wants to protect is only Sun Ce''s foundation. As for Sun Quan himself, he is only the guardian of the foundation under this premise. As for Sun Quan, although he also thought about the Sun family''s foundation, it was the Sun family''s foundation under Sun Quan''s own control.
Therefore, Sun Quan felt that what he did was not the most correct method at the moment?
Why no one can understand him?
"Wu Ge is caught by a rhinoceros armor, the car is wrong, the enemy is like a cloud, and the arrow is falling, the soldiers are fighting for the first..." Sun Quan muttered softly, "The time of day is approaching, the thunder is furious, and the enemy is fighting. In the wild. Go out of Wu County and do not turn back, follow the Yangtze River and enter the Central Plains. Carry a long sword and hold the Wu hook, chase the lost deer and set the nine heavens..."
