0618 People's Mind War
After the busy day, Shen Zhezi left Taicheng and hurried to meet his father.
Chen Chongru did not live in the Princess' Mansion in Wuyi Lane, but went to the original Shen family mansion. It was the base camp for many tribesmen in the capital. As for the princess' mansion, it was just the private residence of Shen Zhezi and Princess Xingnan.
Today, the Shen family mansion was rebuilt on the old site and expanded in scale, occupying almost half of the yard area, which is no less than the old house in Longxi, Wukang's hometown. If it were not for special reasons, most of the tribesmen who lived here, had gathered nearly 100 households. Even the Western clans who had already divided their clans and had returned to the big house to settle down.
When Shen Zhezi returned home, there was already a hustle and bustle in the mansion, with a large number of tribesmen gathering together, and there were also visitors. After all, Chen Chong was the nominal master of the Shen family, and Fang Bo, who had been entrenched in the southeast for many years. As soon as he entered the capital, he naturally gathered many worshipers.
Shen Zhezi greeted the guests in the front courtyard for a moment, and then pulled in to see his father.
Chen Chong was wearing a suit and chatting with Qian Feng who was about to go north in the room. When Shen Zhezi walked into the room and bowed, his eyes flashed with light. He stepped forward and pulled his son up. He was still stretching his arms and hugging him in his arms, but found that his son was as tall as him. His raised arms slapped Shen Zhezi's shoulders, his expression was half relieved and half emotion: "The chaotic times corrupted human relationships, and after a while, my son was already in front of his father!"
Seeing that his father's hair and beard were gray, Shen Zhezi was also moved: "Although the son cannot listen to his father's teachings for a long time, the north and the south are separated, but the family will be prosperous and the world will be filled with one heart and one mind, and the world is just a short distance."
Chen Chong laughed after hearing this, and the regret of not be able to witness his son's growth was gone. He took Shen Zhezi's hand and returned to the table, pointed at Qian Feng and smiled at Shen Zhezi, "You have kept your uncle in the north, and even missed the marriage between children. You must drink to admit your mistake later!"
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi was a little surprised and asked quickly. It turned out that at the beginning of the year, Qian Feng's son had already gotten married in the village and married a cousin of his family. When he learned about this, Shen Zhezi felt ashamed and quickly stood up to pay tribute to Qian Feng: "I don't even hear about such good news. It's really a bad favor! Uncle, you..."
"Your husband doesn't have to say that. Those who defeated the sect and robbed me are already useless to their families. My sons have their own blessings. They are already very comforted, so they don't have to go and watch them in person."
Qian Feng smiled and said, she looked good, and even the scars on her face looked softer.
Shen Zhezi still felt guilty in his heart. Needless to say, the friendship between the two families has been very helpful in recent years. Qian Feng has been hiding behind the scenes and worked hard without any effort. He has never returned home because his son got married. He is still planning a conspiracy in Duzhong.
"Since Brother Shi has already started a family, I think it's a strategy to grow up. Why should I silence the voice of the countryside? You might as well go to the capital to choose things and take responsibility. One is to restore the old voice, and the other is to be happy. As for the matter of crossing the river, I will choose a good choice."
Qian Feng's son is Qian Mo, one year older than Shen Zhezi. Although he is a descendant of the Xing family, with the current momentum of the Shen family, he no longer has to pay attention to these old things. Even if he has no talent, he can raise him in the mansion to help Ren Qiu socialize and socialize.
After hearing this, Qian Feng waved his hand and said, "The matters crossing the river have been planned for a long time, and I am really worried about transferring them to others. As for how to place a child, it depends on the judgement of the husband. If the father and son are distant for a long time, they may not be happy to meet for a long time. After all, major issues must be the priority, and there is no need to be greedy for the joy of human relations for a while."
"You don't have to persuade Shiyi anymore. As for children entering the capital, this is also a good thing. Although Wuxiang is good, it is still a bad thing. Entering the capital to see people and things is also a training."
Chen Chong also smiled and said that he and Qian Feng were the same type of people. In their early years, they were both keen on making trouble and lazy to look back at their family. If Shen Zhezi had not made a big splash at that time, now he would have to be a pair of brothers and brothers in the countryside with Qian Mo. Such people were born to be keen on doing things. If they were silent and nameless throughout their lives, even if they were happy and wealthy, they would still regret death.
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi stopped talking.
Then Chen Chong talked about the gains of sending troops to Jiangzhou this time. The biggest one is naturally Poyang. Poyang is close to the big river, with abundant rivers, lakes and lakes in the territory, and its potential is no less than that in Wuzhong. It is one of the core areas in Jiangzhou.
Judging from the Shen family's overall follow-up plan, Poyang's entry can be said to have opened up the direct connection between Wuzhong and Yuzhou. A large amount of wealth and goods can go from west to Zhejiang, and then flow directly into Yuzhou through the river, directly supporting operations in the north!
"My Wuzhong gateway has been extinct in the Central Plains for a long time. In the future, my son traveled north and looked at it in a small way. This is the honor and disgrace of the gateway. In a large way, he is the heroic leap of Nanxiang!"
If Chen Chong’s support for his son in the past was just blind trust, but with the continuous vision of the phased goals, the Central Plains of Pranayama is no longer a luxury, but a grand prospect that is truly placed in front of him and can be realized at any time!
When Shen Zhezi heard this, he laughed sincerely. The Southern Expedition in the North was a ridiculous joke in the original historical situation! Although he had many twists and turns along the way, he finally turned this seemingly ridiculous slogan into a practical choice bit by bit!
The overseas Chinese people came to the south, which brought all-round oppression to the southern people. Although there was a short-term cooperation between them, struggle was the mainstream. Even though it was not until the Liu Song Dynasty that the high-ranking clan gradually became weak and the southern people were weak, they still failed to reach a consensus that they could completely abandon their past grudges! The north was turbulent, and even though it was many achievements in the northern expeditions, it was ultimately unable to transform into long-term results.
Of course, the current situation is far from being united. Shen Zhezi's past efforts only reduced and eliminated the gap between the north and the south of himself. With a channel of integration, it is really not considered to be a solution to the contradiction. If he cannot accomplish his great achievements in his life, he will inevitably be a situation like Cao Cao's decline for a lifetime, and the counterattack and internal struggle will come even more violently.
Shen Zhezi also shared some of the current atmosphere with his father. The blow brought by Wang Shu's death to the Wang family of Langya and the entire Qingxu Overseas Chinese Sect and the old people of Yue Mansion can be said to be fundamental. The direct manifestation is that Wang Dao no longer has the ability and qualification to unify the north and the south. The future union of the north and the south will be a direct dialogue between the Shen family, such as the Jiangdong Haozong and the newly-launched Yuzhou, and there is no need for Wang Dao to reconcile in the game.
Wang Dao retreated from Situ, and Shen Zhezi, the Dongcao clerk, had a brief opportunity to preside over the Qing Dynasty. From this high-level understanding and guiding the practical demands of all parties in the court and opposition, the Qing Dynasty gradually turned into reality, rather than the previous high-level and unrealistic discussion.
During this period, Shen Zhezi's biggest feeling was that people at that time were not without a sense of crisis, and the pressure brought by Jienu was always lingering above their heads. Therefore, the rise of military strongmen is what the current situation requires. Only when military progress is made can people provide more sense of security.
This can be reflected in the attack on Tao Kan. The attacks from the three towns sent troops to Jiangzhou were the most fierce. There were even many people who fiercely criticized him as a traitor and demanded that the court recall him to be recalled and discussed his crimes one after another.
On the one hand, it was naturally because after Tao Kan occupied Jiangzhou, it was so powerful that it was frightening. On the other hand, it was also disappointing with Tao Kan. After all, Tao Kan had been making a long time to recover Xiangyang, but before he sent troops to the north, he first rushed to fight inward.
Of course, most of this type of voice are nonsense. Shen Zhezi was able to use Jiangzhou as bait to introduce Tao Kan into this turmoil because he knew that Tao Kan was trapped. Jingzhou alone could not occupy Xiangyang in a substantial way for a long time. But those who clamored did not consider what kind of dilemma Tao Kan faced. In short, if they did not follow their wishes, they would be traitors and traitors!
Although I just listen to these words, I don’t have to worry about them, but from another perspective, the customs of the people are becoming increasingly warlike, hoping to get a more stable environment. Although they may not be keen on supporting the large-scale Northern Expedition, the situation where Jiangbei is almost without barriers is really hard to sleep or eat.
Therefore, the next step that can lead the times and influence public opinion will inevitably be military actions. Whoever can be proactive and achieve something will be an irreplaceable leader in the current situation.
In addition to Poyang, Shen Chong sent troops to Jiangzhou this time, there was another very important gain, that is, the thousands of new troops recruited by Wang Shu. Most of these soldiers were recruited from refugees. Unlike the originally mixed military households in Jiangzhou, which had many factions, once they were reorganized and improved in combat power, they would be an elite army that dared to fight, and their loyalty was much higher than the old army mixed with the tyrants of the noble tribes.
But unfortunately, the current situation did not give Wang Shu such an opportunity. When the Dongyang Army advanced into Poyang, the army had not even completed its basic military organization. When facing the almost equal amount of Dongyang Army, which had no combat effectiveness, it only carried out limited resistance, and then collapsed and was almost completely taken over by Shen Chong.
Shen Zhezi's future achievements naturally start with Yuzhou. Even without Yu Yi's strong help, he can make a foundation to train a team of troops who dare to fight.
Yandao cooperated with Yu Yi this time, and Shen Chong couldn't help but sigh: "I'm sorry, although I have been through this for so long, my eyesight is still slightly shallow, and I'm willing to make a decision but have no future plans."
Shen Zhezi also had a similar feeling when my father commented on Yu Yi. In fact, the brothers of the Yu family all had similar problems. In short, they were very ambitious and talented, and could set a very grand goal, but they lacked in the implementation of specific goals.
Just like Yu Yi came out of Liyang, it was true that Shen Zhezi planned a vision for him to counter the center of Fangzhen, but in fact, in the series of measures taken by Liyang, Yu Yi never exceeded the scope planned by Shen Zhezi. Even if Wang Shu was eliminated this time, Shen Zhezi helped almost complete all the preparations.
