Chapter 514 Wartime Guards
"What Feng Xiao said is very true, although tens of millions of people will go to me!" Yuan Chang looked at Guo Jia and said with a firm face. "I also admire Lu Zhonglang very much. However, for the sake of all the people in the world, Lu Zhonglang's reputation alone can't stop my footsteps, if Fan Yang Lu is not interested, then they will clean up together. â
Looking at Yuan Chang's strong declaration, Guo Jia was also extremely happy in his heart.
Since Yuan Chang has chosen to reform and change the law, his future is already doomed to be bumpy and difficult. If it is a Lu Zhi, let Yuan Chang stop moving forward, although Guo Jia will not abandon Yuan Chang because of this, and will secretly help Yuan Chang produce obstacles. However, Guo Jia will still be a little disappointed in his heart after all. However, fortunately, Yuan Chang did not give up his lofty ambitions because of personal feelings, this is the Yuan Chang that Guo Jia identified in his heart.
"Hehe, it's best that Fan Yang Lu's family can jump up and be cheerful, my halberd is already hungry and thirsty!" Dian Wei rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Fan Yang's soldiers and horses are in the jurisdiction of the Beijing Military Region, and Dian Wei, as the commander of the Beijing Military Region, controls a cavalry garrison division under his command, as well as 30,000 elite soldiers brought back from Bohai County by Yuan Chang, who are subordinate to the Beijing Military Region. Originally, these 30,000 elite soldiers were under the command of Zhao Yun, the commander, but Dian Wei was also good enough. Follow behind Zhao Yun during the day, climb on top of Zhao Yun at night and squeeze together, and let Zhao Yun hand over the soldiers and horses to him to command. As a result, Zhao Yun, who was helpless by Dian Wei, had no choice but to hand over this military power to Dian Wei to command. Therefore, Dian Wei is overjoyed. As everyone knows, even if Dian Wei didn't ask for it, in fact, Zhao Yun wanted to find someone to help him command the 30,000 elite soldiers first, after all, Zhao Yun was promoted to the commander of the Youzhou Military Region. In addition to building the headquarters of the Youzhou Military Region, he must also seize the time to learn the command knowledge thrown to him by Yuan Chang, Zhao Yun is the first commander under Yuan Chang, if he can't pass the test and be promoted to the rank of general, I'm afraid it will be a lot of fun. Therefore, Zhao Yun, who is entangled in everything. He handed over the soldiers and horses to Dian Wei's command, and also defrauded several jars of wine from Yuan Chang's reward. Yuan Chang, Guo Jia and others are all insiders, but Dian Wei is the only one who is kept in the dark, and he is typically sold and helps count the money.
"Now you are here. When Fan Yang Lu makes a move, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. Yuan Chang Dian Wei was so excited, even if he poured cold water.
"Hehe, don't worry, lord!"
Dian Wei puffed out his chest and looked triumphant. didn't see Guo Jia on the other side blinking at him constantly. "As early as when you came to fish with the lord... Before Tianjin, his subordinates had secretly arranged for the garrison's 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to go to Fanyang. As long as Fan Yang Lu dares to make a move, none of them will be able to escape. â
Yuan Chang looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, Hong Fei is afraid that he doesn't have such a mind, I think this matter is Fengxiao, you taught Hong Fei to act like this, right?"
Dian Wei was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that this thing was done behind Yuan Chang's back, and it was exposed under the excitement just now, lest Guo Jia be punished by Yuan Chang because of this, so he hurriedly looked at Yuan Chang, wanting to take the blame off. But. Without waiting for Dian Wei to speak, Guo Jia already bowed his hand and took the lead in asking Yuan Chang for guilt.
"Lord, the subordinates make their own opinions, and please ask the lord..."
"Fengxiao, why do you need to be like this between you and me!" Yuan Chang didn't wait for Guo Jia to finish speaking, then interrupted Guo Jia's words, and said earnestly: "Fengxiao, you know that my reform and change will be hindered, so take precautions and prepare first." It's for my own good, and I want to take the blame for removing Lu Zhi's sin on you. I naturally understand your thoughts. But, you have to understand. It is not said that I have brotherly affection with you, but you recognize me as Lord, and I, as your Lord, will I watch you bear the responsibility for my sin? Therefore, the next time you act, you can consult with me, and you do not need to swallow all the bitter fruit yourself. â
"The Lord is forgiving. Jia's liver and brain are all over the ground!"
Although the relationship with Yuan Chang is already full of affection and inseparable. However, listening to Yuan Chang's touching words, Guo Jia still couldn't help but feel emotional, and the corners of his eyes were red, as if he was about to burst. Not to mention Guo Jia, even an old man like Dian Wei felt a little sour at the corners of his eyes at the moment, as if his throat was blocked by something.
"Haha, Fengxiao, Hong Fei, don't you think I'm infinitely charming, and my heart is full of infinite respect! However, I tell you, brother is just a legend, don't be infatuated with brother!"
A good sensational scene, but it was washed away by Yuan Chang's words. Guo Jia and Dian Wei put away their overflowing feelings and glanced at Yuan Chang helplessly. Just now, I wanted to take advantage of the momentum to have a threesome hand-to-hand fight, but the good atmosphere was lost by Yuan Chang.
"Since the lord is willing to bear this wicked man, Jia will not take the favor of others. â
Guo Jia said lightly as if jokingly, and without waiting for Yuan Chang to fight back, he immediately looked straight and said solemnly: "Lord, the children of the Fan Yang Lu family, plus the private soldiers and tenants raised by his family, there are more than 10,000 people, how should this matter be resolved?"
The so-called private soldiers are the thugs raised by the family. In order to ensure the income of the land, these families will raise a large number of thugs to ensure the interests of the family. Just like the Cui clan of Anping County, the family's focus is invested in Yuan Chang, and he can come up with 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Yuan Chang at one time. These soldiers and horses were naturally raised by these families by exploiting the interests of the peasants on their land. As for the tenants, except for a few people, most of them have actually sold themselves to the family. However, when natural disasters occurred, most of the peasants could not survive, and in order to survive, or in order to escape the heavy taxes of the imperial court, the people attached their fields to the family or sold them to the family. And these people naturally became the tenants of the family and worked for the family. Although slavery was abolished as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in fact, slaves still existed.
Don't say that in this era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties also had zĂ i slaves. Whether it is the enemy of the defeated side, or the family of the offending official, they will become part of the slaves. Therefore, as long as the ruling class was in need, slaves could not be truly eliminated.
When Guo Jia said such a sentence, he actually had murderous intent.
In Guo Jia's view, these private soldiers and tenants are the private property of the Fan Yang Lu clan, and since they have followed the Fan Yang Lu clan to obtain benefits, they are one with the Fan Yang Lu clan, and if they kill them, they will be killed. Just as in history, Liu Bei was driven away from Xuzhou by Lu Bu to serve Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness spread at that time. However, in Guo Jia's view, Liu Bei was Cao Cao's enemy. It should be killed. However, Cao Cao did not listen to the words of Guo Jia and others, and in the end Liu Bei eventually became Cao Cao's enemy.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Guo Jia to kill Fan Yang Lu's family.
But. Yuan Chang didn't have such thoughts. The Fan Yang Lu clan benefited the most from the Lu family's children, and most of the private soldiers and tenants under the Lu clan also defected to the Fan Yang Lu clan in order to survive, and the sin was not so big, and there was no need to make a big move.
Guo Jia looked at Yuan Chang's expression. Naturally, he also understood Yuan Chang's thoughts, and after pondering for a while, Guo Jia did not continue to persuade, but asked Yuan Chang: "Lord, do you know the Yu concession during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"
"Yu Rang?"
Yuan Chang always felt as if he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, so he shook his head blankly.
"'The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman. 'Lord, have you ever heard of this?' Guo Jia then asked.
"This sentence has naturally been heard!Oh, it turns out that the hero of this story is Yu Rang!" Yuan Chang nodded. However, Guo Jia obviously wouldn't ask a question casually, Guo Jia obviously had his intentions when he said this, and Yuan Chang seemed to understand what Guo Jia meant.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhibo, one of the six secretaries of the Jin State (whose real name is Xun Yao, the ancestor of the Xun family), was defeated by the other three secretaries of the Jin State, Han, Zhao and Wei, and Zhao Xiangzi painted the skull of Zhibo and made it into a wine cup. Yu Rang as Zhibo's doorman. was extremely sad and indignant, and vowed to avenge Zhibo and assassinate Zhao Xiangzi. He first changed his name and blended in with the criminals. carried a dagger to Zhao Xiang's womb to do chores, and was arrested for exposing his whereabouts. During the interrogation, he bluntly said: "I want to avenge Zhibo." Zhao Xiangzi felt that he was loyal and commendable, and released him. Yu Rang was still unwilling after his release, so he applied lacquer to his body, swelled his skin, and shaved off his beard and eyebrows. At the same time, he swallowed charcoals, making his throat hoarse, so that people could not recognize him for what he was.
Yu Rang figured out the time and route for Zhao Xiangzi to come out. On the day when Zhao Xiangzi was going out, he was ambushed under a bridge in advance. When Zhao Xiangzi crossed the bridge, the horse was suddenly frightened and guessed that someone had assassinated him, and it was probably Yu Rang. His subordinates went to investigate, and it was not bad. Zhao Xiangzi scolded Yu Rang: "Didn't you once serve the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan? Zhibo wiped them all out, and you didn't avenge them, but entrusted yourself as Zhibo's retainer." Zhibo is dead, why are you so eager to avenge him?" Yu Rang said: "The ministers Fan, Zhongxing, Fan, Zhongxing, everyone met me, so everyone avenged. As for Zhibo, when the countryman meets me, I will repay the countryman. (Meaning: I serve the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, and they all treat me as an ordinary person, so I repay them like an ordinary person.) As for Zhibo, he treated me as a national soldier, so I repaid him like a national soldier. Zhao Xiangzi was very moved, but felt that he could no longer let Yu Rang go, so he ordered the soldiers to surround him. In the end, Yu Rang drew his sword and committed suicide. And the matter of concession is also widely spread.
Guo Jia said Yu Rang's matter at this moment to make Yuan Chang vigilant, Fan Yang Lu Clan may also have a figure like Yu Rang, could Yuan Chang expect him to be as lucky as Zhao Xiangzi, and he can find the enemy's assassination every time? Besides, if the enemy does not target Yuan Chang, but transfers it to Yuan Chang's relatives, can Yuan Chang prevent these unguardable assassinations?
Yuan Chang, who seemed to have some understanding, was also shocked!
In fact, Yuan Chang didn't understand the truth of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, but as a traverser who grew up in a legal society, he couldn't turn a corner about this kind of thing for a while. Think about so many TV series I watched in my previous life, most of the protagonists of the movies are benevolent and righteous, and let the enemy survive. Then, it is the enemy or the descendants of the enemy, and loyal subordinates in order to take revenge, that trigger a series of stories, so many revenge stories can be deduced. And after Guo Jia's persuasion, and then thinking about the stories and blood lessons he had read, Yuan Chang felt that Guo Jia was right, since he wanted to start, he couldn't leave a future trouble.
"I already know what Feng Xiao said, if I want to make a move against Fan Yang Lu's family, I will definitely not let them have the slightest chance of revival. Yuan Chang showed a relaxed smile on his face, but his tone was extremely firm, and there was a little ruthlessness in his firmness.
Traveling to this era, how many wars and deaths have been experienced, and today, after Guo Jia's explanation, Yuan Chang finally understood the true meaning of life and death. Although his hands may be stained with blood, however, his purpose is to let fewer people be contaminated with blood in the future, killing one person as a thief and killing ten thousand people as a hero, since this is the case, then he Yuan Chang must choose the road of males, not the path of thieves.
"The lord can figure out that it is the best, the lord is involved in the honor, disgrace and safety of thousands of people. As long as it is the path of the Lord and you, we will swear to follow it. â
"My lord, I have the same idea as the military advisor, and I swear to follow it!"
"In that case, if you want to do it, make it bigger, it's not my style to make a small fuss!"
Yuan Chang smiled slightly, but there was a bloody breath in his smile, and said: "Since we have decided to take the road of reform and change the law, then reform and change the law more thoroughly." Order all the families in Youzhou to release all tenants and slaves who sold themselves to them. If there are those who are willing to return to their hometowns, the local government will give them a plate to go back; those who do not want to return to their hometowns can register with the local government offices in Youzhou, and then live in Youzhou and become ordinary people of Youzhou. In this way, as soon as this order is issued, the private soldiers and tenants of those families will inevitably clash with the noble clans, and it will also reduce the obstacles we will have to face in the future. â
"The lord has a wonderful plan!"
Guo Jia praised when he heard this, and the reason why the people sold themselves to the Shi family was also forced to make such a decision because of their livelihood. Under normal circumstances, who would want to be slaves to others? Yuan Chang's order was undoubtedly a drain on these scholars. If the family is willing to release people, without private soldiers and tenants, no matter how much land the family has, it is useless, and can only be used there as wasteland; if the family is unwilling to release people, it will be even better, the private soldiers and tenants who want to become a free identity of the common people will inevitably have conflicts with these families, once Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses arrive, these private soldiers and tenants will become Yuan Chang's helpers.
Yuan Chang's face turned straight, and Zheng Yan said: "Fengxiao, send the order back to Beijing, let Xun Yue convey this order to all the counties and counties in Youzhou, and make sure that all the people know about it." In addition, inform the commanders of the county and county sub-districts to be well prepared in wartime, and the resistance of the family clan is about to appear!" (To be continued.) )
