In fact, you can't tell me how innovative the strategy of co-governance of the Wu family proposed by Xu You is.
In fact, Xu You studied and developed this governance policy by investigating the actual situation in Yuzhou.
In other words, warriors and manors are things that exist in Yuzhou now.
As ordinary people think, the state dynasty was a land private ownership policy centered on the ownership of powerful powerful people. But in fact, whether in the pre-Han Dynasty or now, the state-owned land system has always been a relatively important part.
The land owned by the state is generally divided into two parts, one is called public land and the other is called farmland.
The so-called public land actually existed during the unification period of the Qin Dynasty. This type of land had been in the hands of the central government of Qin and was used as gardens and ponds.
In addition, there are some sacrificial fields near the emperor's mausoleum, rivers, seas, pits, and lakes scattered among the counties and counties led by craftsmen such as Shaofu and Shuiheng, and financial yamen; there are also some confiscated fields of criminals.
These fields were then leased to households in the capital of Guizhou for farming, and then taxes were charged that were higher than thirty-year-olds.
In addition to public land, most of the land directly belonging to the Han Dynasty came from farmland.
These camps are generally set up in some border areas to facilitate timely supply for the border troops. Otherwise, it would be too expensive to always transport military supplies from the rear.
Therefore, the Han family often sent some prisoners and garrison soldiers to cultivate the ownerless wasteland on the frontier. For the garrison soldiers, farming is purely corvee and there will be no compensation for the land.
Later, during the Wang Mang period, after experiencing the special well-field system, although Liu Xiu overturned all Wang Mang's land policies, the dynasty actually controlled a considerable amount of land through land clearing and inspection.
So, in other words, in Yuzhou, the largest landowner was actually the Han Dynasty itself.
But reality is never a theory. It doesn’t mean that what belongs to you on paper actually belongs to you.
For example, the Han Dynasty leased land to the head of Guizhou, and then the head of Guizhou was farming for decades. In the end, who do you think this land belongs to?
You can naturally say that this land still belongs to the public, but people have cultivated the land for generations and have long regarded it as their own. If you want to take over other people's fields at this time, can you succeed?
So this is the property rights conflict between theoretical land ownership and actual land use.
And this contradiction became even more obvious with the decline of the Han Dynasty.
More and more Yuzhou tycoons began to brazenly embezzle various national lands. In order to protect these vested interests, these tycoons built manors and docks, and then raised private tribes.
But at this time, the tribe was not institutionalized, but more armed clan members. Moreover, this kind of confrontation is only an implicit confrontation between public and private.
However, with the complete disintegration of the order of the Han Dynasty in Yuzhou, the powerful and local tyrants themselves began to engage in fierce and bloody land embezzlement struggles.
In this life-and-death situation, the local tycoons either sit back and wait for death, or take desperate measures. Whether it is for the need to defend the dock wall or for the purpose of expanding and annexing others, we can only fight to the death.
As a result, the Wubi Masters armed all the original family members and Langdang tribes to form private samurai groups.
But what are the consequences? That is, each Wubi family began to recruit more and more warriors. They were not only used to protect Wubi, but also to fight against local prefects and county kings.
It is precisely the existence of these clan leaders and local tyrants that makes the local governors increasingly weak.
In another dimension, Cao Cao's general Man Chong was appointed as the prefect of Runan. He led his five hundred troops to defeat more than 20 local tyrants and killed more than ten local tyrants before pacifying Runan. Finally, he won There are 20,000 households and 2,000 soldiers.
This is the current situation in Yuzhou. Even though Yuan Shao had pacified the Yuzhou heroes on the surface, he still could not effectively intervene in the local villages.
Generally speaking, if you want to take complete control at this time, you must carry out in-depth governance of these local tyrants. Just like Man Chong, if you kill them all, they will naturally disappear.
But Yuan Shao did not have this time, or in other words, the Taishan Army would not give Yuan Shao this window period for internal integration.
In fact, whether it was Cao Cao's previous attack on Ku Lie in Xuzhou or Yuan Shao's adventure of "attacking the Yellow Turbans openly and crossing the three passes secretly", it was all because they felt such a signal:
"There is not much time until Taishan's army goes south."
In such an external environment, it is unrealistic for Yuan Shao to internally integrate these local tyrants and local warriors.
What to do? Then we can only follow Xu You's suggestion, recruit these warriors as the core, and govern together with the Wu family.
This compromise, which was originally a last resort, unexpectedly burst into life. Not only did Yuan Jun's combat effectiveness explode, it also allowed them to integrate Yuzhou in a short period of time.
In fact, the success of Yuan Shao's innovation was that he gave the local tycoons and locals who had only military power but no future a political identity.
Yuan Shao unintentionally met this need of the warriors and attracted most of the local tycoons into the system in a short period of time.
Of course, others who want to learn from Yuan Shao do not have the conditions.
First of all, Yuan Shao himself was the largest nobleman in the dynasty, and his reputation and family reputation were enough for most local tycoons to comply. Secondly, Yuan Shao himself is the most powerful armed force in Yuzhou, and he can suppress everything.
But now, the boss not only doesn't suppress you, but also gives you the opportunity to follow him. Who do you think wouldn't want to?
In fact, if Yuan Shao can have the last laugh in the end, maybe he can really create a different history, that is, change the world from the era of civil rule co-governing with the Gongqing family to the era of martial rule co-governing with the Wu family. But right now, it's too early to tell.
But now, in this drizzle, Yuan Jun's soldiers, who had been fully motivated by both material and political incentives, jumped up to the wall of Luzhai dock with a rainbow of momentum, and then jumped into the village to fight with the Yellow Turban soldiers.
On the mountain road not far away, Liu Pi and Gong Du were dressing up and observing the battlefield.
Looking at Yuan's army who were like wolves and tigers at the foot of the mountain, Liu Pi seemed to understand why the Yellow Turbans in each mountain were almost without exception defeated and fell to Taiping Mountain.
At this time, Gong Du next to him put up an awning with his hands and took a cold breath:
"I saw the shadow of Taishan Army in them."
Liu Pi did not refute, obviously agreeing with Gong Du's intention.
And then Gong Du doubted himself:
"I'm worried that the barrier below won't hold up. How about I take the Yellow Turban Warriors to attack it?"
Liu Pi's face had always been dark. After hearing this, he shook his head:
"No, we can't reveal our intentions so early. We can't fight in the front. After all, the ground is wet now and our troops have difficulty moving. How about those Yuan Jun soldiers? Not to mention that they have to move around. They are the ones who suffer. . Let’s look back.”
After that, the two of them stopped talking and held their breath to observe the situation on the battlefield.
As time passed by, the shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain continued without any signs of weakening. As Liu Pi expected, the situation on the battlefield was really developing towards the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban soldiers in the walled village were far more resistant than expected. After losing the small wall in front, they organized troops from behind and rushed back.
Often, as soon as the wall of the village was captured by the Yuan army, it would be taken back by the Yellow Turban soldiers the next moment.
The two armies were at each other's throats repeatedly, and the battle was extremely fierce.
At this time, in the Yuan Jun camp outside the mountain pass, Yuan Shao wore a helmet and armor, dressed like a warrior, stood on the chariot, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Such a battle situation requires a peerless brave general to charge into the battle. However, my beloved general Yan Liangxi died in Kyoto, otherwise why would he let the moth thief show off his courage today?"
As a representative of the children of the aristocratic family, Yuan Shao's abilities are very balanced. Although he has not fought many battles, at least his eyesight is not bad.
Indeed, the harder the battle, the more extraordinary a brave general is needed to open up the situation. For example, when he conquered the Black Mountain bandits in history, he relied on Lu Bu's unqualified courage.
But what now? But there is no Lu Bu tiger to chase Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was standing on the chariot, and he was mumbling, and his voice was not loud, but it happened to be heard by the person below. This person had a face like a crown jewel, was eight feet nine tall, and was as majestic as a celestial being.
The man opened his mouth like thunder and said to Yuan Shao on the chariot:
"My lord, how can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? I am ugly and not talented, but I am willing to charge into the battle for my lord."
Yuan Shao was shocked by the loud noise and couldn't help but look down. He saw that it was his beloved general Wen Chou and said hurriedly:
"Ah Chou, you are my general, and I am fully aware of your incompetence. But you and Yan Liang surrendered to me. Now that A Liang is gone, how can I bear to put you in danger again?"
What Yuan Shao said was so sincere that Wen Chou was moved, but it also made Wen Chou even more stubborn.
He pulled off his cloak and asked Yuan Shao for help:
"Wen Chou is willing to issue a military order and come to see him with his head raised instead of taking down the enemy wall."
Wen Chou had already said this, and Yuan Shao's outstretched hand was pulled back again. Finally, Yuan Shao said seriously:
"Ah Chou, since you have this intention, then do your best, but don't say anything like raising your head. You have to understand that even tens of thousands of yellow scarves are not as important to me as you alone."
Wen Chou fell to the ground and gave him a heavy slap. His face was covered with wet mud and he didn't care.
After that, he directly wrapped himself in three layers of armor, and then rushed forward with 200 of Yuan Shao's most elite armored warriors.
When Wen Chou came up with his warriors, Yuan Jun could hardly stand on the battlefield.
The yellow scarf soldiers in the barrier at the foot of the mountain held high the apricot-yellow flag and became more and more brave as they fought. Not only did they drive Yuan Jun out of the barrier, but they also went out to pursue him.
These Yellow Turban soldiers understand that the Taiping Mountain behind them is their last home, where their faith and their families are, and for this, they will naturally do everything they can.
But what about Yuan Jun? At the beginning, they all regarded their opponents as weak chickens, and they all wanted to capture them and make them slaves, so their morale was very high. But when I hit the back, I saw that the opponent was like an iron pea, unable to be bitten or smashed, and my losses began to increase again, so I gave up the fight.
It was under such a situation that Wen Chou rushed to the top of the barrier.
