859 Guo is a tax maniac

For everything Guan Yu said, all the generals of the Shu army were greatly surprised and were very surprised by this.

And the generals of the Wei army noticed the difference in the faces of the generals of the Shu army, and they also felt refreshed in their hearts, showing pride on their faces, and they were quite complacent.

What's the matter, you buns don't have such an excellent emperor, right?

Who would dare to say that they would not be injured on the battlefield?

Is it still necessary for the emperor, who doesn't even save the wounded soldiers, to serve him?

Can a waste like Liu Zhang be compared to His Majesty the Emperor as great as ours?

Sometimes this sense of happiness and superiority are compared, and the superiority generated by this comparison immediately calmed down the resentment in the hearts of the generals of the Wei army a lot.

"This ...... It won't cost less, right? With an expense of this magnitude, this ......"

Wu Yi couldn't help but ask.

"It's not a question of how much it costs."

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said proudly: "If you care about how much it costs, it is impossible for us military doctors and medicinal materials to appear, Your Majesty will never save money on this kind of thing, there is never a shortage of food and clothing for soldiers, medical treatment, ordnance and materials."

If there is, hum, if there is a shortage, there are those who can't keep up, so that the front-line soldiers are hungry, or there is no need to treat the wounded, then there are more than one or two people who want to lose their heads, from the county order, to the state assassin history, and even the officials in charge of the imperial court, don't even think about running! ”

It is the so-called no comparison and no happiness, and thanks to the foil of his companions, Guo is so different from Guo who seems to be strong and kills officials like killing pigs and dogs.

So he won the hearts of the military.

Wu Yi has nothing to say, if this is just a paragraph, he doesn't have to take it seriously, but Guan Yu put the facts in front of him and let him understand them while looking at them, then he can't help but not believe it.

It's true.

Wu Yi didn't speak again, and the generals of the Shu army didn't continue to say anything.

They silently watched as the Wei army's military medical team completed the bandaging of a large number of wounded soldiers, and the skillful bandaging technique was something that only experts could do.

After watching it for a while, the mood of the generals of the Shu army no longer fluctuated and became calm.

It seems that Yan Yan is not unjust.

They were so miserably pressed and beaten, but in fact, they were not wronged.

The reason for this is clear in front of their eyes.

Guan Yu led the army to camp in the Sword Pavilion for more than a day, and then marched to Chengdu with a small number of troops and the generals of the Shu army, to rendezvous with Lejin and Guo Jia, and waited for further orders from Guo Peng.

All parts of Shuzhong have been taken, but the army is still needed to occupy them, and as for whether the counties and counties that have not yet been occupied by the Wei army will surrender honestly, this is not necessarily, so a large army needs to be stationed in Chengdu to deter Shuzhong.

And according to the information they learned, Guo Peng not only wanted to pacify the Chengdu Plain, but also had some ideas about several counties in the southern part of Yizhou.

Anyway, according to Guo Jia's understanding of Guo Peng, Guo Peng is very enterprising.

Guo Peng disliked the tactics of bondage, and he did not like symbolic rule, he liked development, immigration, and taxation, and he saw this as the counties in the south.

In Guo Jia's eyes, Guo is a tax maniac.

No matter which state, county, or county, Guo always cares most about whether he can be taxed, and the place where he can be taxed is the place he likes, and he also has a famous saying-

If you don't want to collect taxes, why bother to do it? Isn't it beautiful to pass it on?

But I'm just going to pay taxes!

In Guo's view, whether all the counties in the occupied area paid taxes in full was the best indicator of the level of Guo Wei's regime's dominance, and only when taxes were paid in full could his rule be healthy.

In other words, how can the public instruments of the state function without taxes?

Do you rely on issuing currency?

Inflation has allowed the country to blow itself up.

Therefore, although Yangzhou and Jingzhou have surrendered, Guo still left many troops to continue to develop and fight.

After Zhang Liao defeated the Sun Wu regime, he stayed in Yangzhou and started a large-scale campaign against the Shanyue group throughout Yangzhou.

Throughout the first year of Yande, Zhang Liao was constantly fighting, while the northern part of Yangzhou was resuming construction, and the southern part of Yangzhou was engaged in a very fierce war of conquest and suppression.

When Guo Peng used Shanyue and Yangzhou Haoqiang to line up with Sun Wu's regime, he sent secret agents into Yangzhou, drew a map of Yangzhou, and contacted the thieves of the Shanyue group.

This information was integrated by the Linzi battalion and handed over to Zhang Liao, so that Zhang Liao could organize a war based on this information.

As for the Shanyue Group, a super-large group of bandits entrenched in many counties in Yangzhou, a mixture of Han and barbarians, who had mastered farming and iron-smelting technology, Guo Peng had no intention of making peace with them at all and continued to acquiesce in their existence.

For this tumor left over from the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to a blow, it is a blow, completely annihilated and swept away, and does not give them any room to survive.

This is a considerable part of the population, and in Guo's eyes, that is productivity, that is mobilization, and that is taxation.

Competing with someone like Guo for population and taxes will not end well.

Guo Peng authorized Zhang Liao and told Zhang Liao that he could use all means to exterminate and attack the Shanyue group, regardless of casualties.

He can mobilize all the Southeast Corps, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Gu Yong needs to fully cooperate with him, and officials from all over the country also need to fully cooperate with his military operations.

So in the past year, Zhang Liao has carried out a more fierce campaign of conquest and suppression in Yangzhou than Lejin did in Jingnan, and the methods used are more brutal than Lejin.

Sneak attacks, killing, coercion, inducement, burning, and so on.

The most ferocious nature is the fire, and like Jingnan, large tracts of undeveloped primeval jungle are the biggest obstacle to the Wei army's advance, and it is also the largest hiding place for the Shanyue group.

If you can't fight on flat ground, then you will flee into the mountains and forests, and the Wei army is not good at fighting in mountains and dense forests, and has suffered a lot of losses.

In order to change this disadvantage, Zhang Liao directly set fire to the forest.

He didn't care about any wildfires or not, but he knew that in order to develop these places, these jungles had to be destroyed, and he also knew that the agricultural behavior of burning forests to open up wasteland was very primitive, so he gave an order and began a large-scale arson and forest burning operation.

The mountains and forests on which the Shanyue group relied for their livelihood were set on fire by the Wei army, and the Shanyue thieves who burned collapsed, with nowhere to hide, and many people were burned to death, or smoked to death, and had to go down the mountain in groups to surrender with the old and the young, and became households under the statistics of the Guo Wei regime.

Zhang Liao used quite cruel means to hit these Shanyue thieves fiercely, forcing them to leave the mountains and forests, come to the flat land for production, and become obedient people.

This is quite honest, those who can be accepted as people's households, those who don't want to come out will be burned alive, or try to break through and be directly shot to death by the Wei army.

In this way, Zhang Liao left a great reputation in Yangzhou, and he is also an inescapable first-class criminal and environmental destroyer of carbon dioxide emissions.

Looking at the crowds of Shanyue thieves who were guarded by the army and escorted to various counties, the people of Yangzhou were in awe of Zhang Dayou's name.

Zhang Liao's huge achievements and military exploits earned him a reward of upgrading his title by one level, which made Le Jin very jealous.

Therefore, when Le Jin pacified Jingnan, he referred to Zhang Liao's practice, and used fire to burn the dense forest to compress the living space of the barbarians in Shanyue and the four counties, force them out of the mountains and forests, and then exterminate them.

Since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the local problem of the Shanyue group's secession, which had become more and more a practical problem, was slowly solved under the brutal blows of Zhang Liao and Lejin.

At the moment, Zhang Liao is still commanding operations on the front line, and Lejin is about to have a broader battlefield to face.
