Chapter 189 The local faction’s response

Since the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, its attitude towards localists has been to suppress them. Because basically none of these local veterans are willing to go to the Northern Expedition, and all of them are holding back because they are unable to do their job in office.

According to the thinking of the local people, why should we go to the Northern Expedition?

How much land do we have in Yizhou, and how many soldiers are there for you? In the north, Cao Wei controls nine states and leads an army of 400,000. What are your chances of winning in the Northern Expedition?

And even if you have a chance of winning in the Northern Expedition, it has nothing to do with us. The land we conquered does not belong to us, so we locals still have to hire people and provide food for you, the Liu family, to conquer the world. Am I sick?

Because of this attitude, there were basically no locals in key positions in the Shuhan court. At most, some people from Bazhong or people from Shuzhong who are willing to cooperate will be appointed to some unimportant positions.

Xiang Qiaozhou, Du Wei, and Du Qiong were all passive war avoiders and were all pushed to the margins to become bachelors.

There is no way, if this group of people is used to work, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition will never succeed.

However, as a result, the anger of this group of local factions is getting higher and higher day by day. Like Qiao Zhou, although he no longer dared to blatantly make depressing remarks after the first Northern Expedition, he still expressed his views in various ways: "We must cultivate our health and recuperate, and we must not resort to militarism."

Originally, the local faction had resigned themselves to their fate because they could not defeat them. Let's go to the Northern Expedition. Since there is hope, I can send you guys away as soon as possible.

As a result, Ma Di now performed such a show for them. Especially when it seemed that Zhuge Liang had acquiesced, the local faction was even more worried.

"So are you sure that there is no support from Prime Minister Zhuge?" The great scholar Zhou Shu stood up at this moment and asked Du Wei again.

"If the Prime Minister had nodded, he, Ma Su, should be in Tingwei instead of Mianzhu now." Du Wei waved his hand and said calmly, being one of the rare understanding people.

"Prime Minister Zhuge's majesty has grown day by day over the years, and now that Li Yan is gone, it is even more unparalleled. If he had spoken and agreed, I am afraid that the Northern Army would have sealed off Chengdu that afternoon and started to crack down on excess slaves."

"It is estimated that Zhuge Liang's tacit approval of Ma Su's matter does not mean that the Prime Minister's Office has agreed. Most likely, he just wants to see the reaction of various factions and test our bottom line."

"It's so abominable! We provide food and wages for the big men, and they are still not satisfied after being so wronged!" Knowing that Zhuge Liang was not supporting him, the leaders of several local factions suddenly hardened their backs and their tone changed. Gotta get full of energy.

"Yes, thanks to the discord of the Jingzhou faction, no one is willing to support Ma Di, otherwise Ma Di would have been a Tingwei by now." Du Wei snorted coldly and looked at several of his colleagues with ugly expressions.

"His Majesty is nominally to ban private soldiers, but everyone should know the real purpose. The Jingzhou faction is not satisfied with pushing us to the margins, they want to kill us all!"

"If the attitude of the Prime Minister's Office hadn't been unclear now, I'm afraid things would have been dangerous!"

"So everyone, stop hiding it and tell us what to do!"

Du Wei spoke directly, basically letting everyone show their cards.

Although Qiao Zhou is older than Du Wei, in reality Du Weicai is more like the leader of the local faction. With his family background and status, even Zhuge Liang had to find ways to win over him.

At first, he was trying to show off his intentions, so Zhuge Liang asked Zhuge Liang to invite him in person.

Of course, he was invited out, and he wasn't given any high-ranking officials. He was still a bachelor.

However, it can be seen from this that Du Weike has a much tougher attitude than Qiao Zhou.

As soon as Du Wei said this, all the local big guys fell silent and began to think.

It is worth mentioning that the assassination of Ma Su was thrown aside by everyone from the beginning. After all, with Ma Su's current reputation and importance in the court, if he was assassinated, it would basically mean that the local faction declared war on the court.

This is definitely impossible. If this group of people had the courage to fight hard, Shu Han would not be so safe.

"There have always been frequent bandits and bandits in Shu. If we limit the number of slaves, wouldn't we be disregarding the lives of the people in Shu?" At this time, Qiao Zhou shook his head and said slowly.

Qiao Zhou's words immediately made everyone's eyes flash, and they all nodded in agreement.

Is there chaos in Shu?

It doesn't seem to be very chaotic. In history, there were three rebellions during Zhuge Liang's period, and they were not large in scale. Nanzhong is quite chaotic, but it is too far away from Chengdu and has basically no reference value.

But this is not important. Since the big families now need private soldiers, Yizhou must be in chaos!

"Don't go too far. If you force the Prime Minister's Mansion to end, it will not look good on anyone." Du Wei waved his hand and said with a frown.

"So it's best not to do this kind of thing first. This is not a good solution."

"Then Guofu, tell me what to do?" Zhou Shu frowned and looked at Du Wei and asked.

"The Colonel Protecting the Qiang is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a famous general in the Northern Expedition. He should go to Longyou Hanzhong to lead the troops and prepare for the Northern Expedition. Isn't it true that he is overqualified and underqualified to serve as Dong Cao in Chengdu?" Du Wei raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while and suddenly answered the question. .

"You mean..."

"Tiao Ma Su left Chengdu to contribute to the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition." Du Wei waved his hand and said.

"Although it's good that before he returns to the old capital, it's best not to let him come back again!"

Obviously, given Ma Su's current reputation, it would be too much trouble to attack him. And not only is it difficult, the main reason is that the Prime Minister's Office will not allow the chosen heir to be slandered and attacked.

So if you can't attack, you can only think of ways to support it. Shouldn't such a military genius go to the north to help Kuang Fu Han?

Then quickly send him to Hanzhong and lead the troops in Longyou. It's best for such a lunatic to never come back!

All in all, the local faction has been angry at Ma Su ever since he tried to implement land equalization in Longyou. Now that I can't do it, I really want to send this man away.

But at this time, Du Qiong asked another key question.

"What if the Prime Minister's Office doesn't allow it? After all, transferring Ma Di to Dongcao is also..."

"If that's the case, don't blame us for being unjust." Du Wei replied.

If Zhuge Liang vetoes this proposal, it proves that he does intend to support Ma Di. In this way, their local faction's counterattack would not be considered unreasonable.

Speaking of the bottom line, Shu Han still has to reason with these local cowards.

While a group of local snakes were discussing how to deal with Ma Di, Ma Di dragged Liu Yin and ran wildly all night back to Chengdu.

As soon as the gate of Chengdu opened, Ma Di took Liu Yin and entered the fifth battalion of the Northern Army again.

This time no one can stop him, because Liu Yin is also a member of the Northern Army and has the authority to lead people in and out.

The two of them took several guards and went straight into the Beijun archives room.

Also known as the Three Kingdoms: Kill Sun Wu at the beginning and advance the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Traveling back to the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, he became famous for his knowledge of the Three Kingdoms. With Liu Bei stationed in Xinye south, Huo Jun rushed north to Xiangyang and plunged into the great waves of history.

He established the world with civil and military skills, became famous all over the world, entered the martial arts temple, and was worshiped by the Grand Sima.
