Chapter 375: Jun Sima Zheng Qing

"Announcing to the people that there will be yellow turban thieves invading our Beihai, will this cause panic among the people? Cause chaos in Beihai City?

Liu Jie said worriedly at this time.

"Panic is certain, it's not just about telling them about the problem, it's about letting them know first. Then the notice should also explain the harmfulness of those yellow turban thieves, as well as the determination of our government officers and soldiers to resist the yellow turban thieves. Tell the people of Beihai City that resisting the Yellow Turban Thieves is not only a matter for the officers and soldiers of the government, but also for the people of the whole city. ”

Liu Xian stared at Liu Jie and said, "How can there be eggs under the nest?" This time, if Beihai City wants to save the day, it must mobilize the people of the whole city to fight the enemy together. ”

"At the same time that the notice was posted, it was ordered that the whole city should be allowed to enter and not leave the city from now on! Martial law was imposed throughout the city, and all the scholars and wealthy families in the city had to be gathered together and assigned to the government. In addition, the ordinary people in the city, every household, must select the adult young people from their families to form a reserve army for the defense of the Beihai City. As for how to choose, it can be carried out in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty. These are hard and fast orders, and no one in Beihai City can make exceptions, and they must be carried out. ”

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, when conscription, if the people are only children in the family, they can be exempted from military service, but if there are two brothers in the family, one of them must obey the conscription order.

"In addition, the young and strong people in the city, who have not become the reserve army of the Beihai garrison, must all be concentrated, and they will be used as the logistics force of the Beihai garrison, responsible for ensuring the logistics of the Beihai officers and soldiers and the Beihai garrison reserve army. For example, to collect and carry some materials for defending the city, logistics troops are needed to do it. The rest of the old and weak women and children, especially those young and strong women, are not without things to do, and they are responsible for coordinating the work of the logistics troops, such as laundry and cooking, and they can organize those women to do it. How to do it, after meeting with Huang Zhong, the commander of the escort team of the Liu Mansion caravan, he will give his own orders. ”

"Give an order to all the Liu Mansion caravans outside the city, let them all withdraw into the city, Liu Jie is too guarded, please vacate a barracks in the city for the Liu Mansion caravan...... Well, as for the barracks in Beicheng District, including the defense of the North City Gate, it can also be handed over to my Liu Mansion caravan escort team. ”

Liu Xian thought of this temporarily, he had to control a city gate, so that even if there was any change, then there was still room for maneuver.

"Virtuous son-in-law...... Is this going to make a big deal out of it? To know...... This one...... Without an order from the imperial court, we would be guilty of a big taboo if we recruited into an army like this. Afterwards, if the court does not pursue it, it will be fine, but in case...... There are too many traitors in the court, virtuous son-in-law, but think twice. ”

After Liu Xian said this in one breath, Liu Jie was already stunned, but Kong Rong said worriedly.

In fact, all over the Han Dynasty, those families and scholars, they have accumulated wealth over generations, and their wealth is against the enemy. However, none of them dared to openly conscript into an army, and they did not dare to have a large number of private soldiers. Whoever dares to recruit troops and buy horses, then it proves that there is a plot and bad intentions, and the court can find an excuse to destroy the family, and these are also what the court is happy to see, because if you destroy a family, it is equivalent to obtaining a lot of wealth.

Kong Rong is worried that Liu Xian will be attacked afterwards.

What Master Kong said was that the imperial court had extremely strict restrictions on the strength of officers and soldiers in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and local officers and soldiers were not allowed to have too many soldiers and horses. Liu Xiangongzi, please think twice. In addition...... "Liu Jie saw that Kong Rong made Liu Xian think twice, he hurriedly followed up and persuaded him, and then said with an embarrassed expression: "Don't hide it from Liu Xian's son and Master Kong, although I am the Taishou of Beihai, I don't have so much energy to order those family scholars, they more or less have the background of the imperial court, and they can completely disobey the orders of our government......"

Liu Xian waved his hand and interrupted: "Father-in-law, Liu Taishou." Where in this world is there anything perfect? If you want to resolve the crisis in Beihai City this time, rely on the imperial court? Relying on those yellow turban thieves to be soft-hearted? Now that the Yellow Turban Thief is coming, and we have no defense, if we wait until the Yellow Turban Thief enters Beihai City, then it will be the time when thousands of families cry and thousands of families cry. The thieves are coming, and the knives are all on our necks, and we are not allowed to take up arms to resist? What kind of truth is this? If you are afraid of wolves in the first and tigers in the future, you will not be able to achieve great things. Now, if the people of the whole city are not completely mobilized, then Beihai City will not be saved at all. In this case, then I might as well withdraw with my Liu Mansion caravan now, so as not to be affected by the fish pond. What does the life and death of Beihai City have to do with me Liu Xian? ”

Liu Xian looked at Liu Jie and said, "If you want to harvest, you must pay." All that needs to be paid now is the risk of some court being held accountable after the fact. However, think about it, if you can defeat the Yellow Turban Army this time, then this is also a great merit. Liu Jie is too shou, what should I do? Do you still have a choice? ”

"Uh...... I, I'm ...... Well, I agree to mobilize the people of the whole city. Liu Jie was stunned for a moment and nodded tremblingly.

He really has no choice, he should have been dismissed and held accountable. Even if he escapes, it will inevitably be held accountable by the imperial court, and if he is wanted by the imperial court, then he will be finished.

"Good! As for what Liu Jie Taishou is worried about, those noble families in the city, those wealthy families will not obey the orders of the government. Don't worry about these, this is a hard order, it is a reasonable conscription in wartime, if they don't obey, then it violates the wartime regulations, and they should be beheaded, then we will directly raid their homes. If you don't dare to defend Taishou Liu, then it will be carried out by my Liu Mansion caravan. Hehe, I believe they will have a lot of wealth, right? After raiding their homes, it is estimated that it is enough for us to mobilize the money and food needed by the people, right? Liu Xian sneered twice.

Liu Jie and Kong Rong suddenly stopped making a sound, because Liu Xian's sneer made them all feel a little chill in their hearts, making them all feel that Liu Xian might not be as harmless as he seemed on the surface.

During this period, officials of all sizes in the Beihai County Government came one after another, including the commanders of the officers and soldiers of Beihai County, Jun Sima.

While coming, Liu Jie introduced Liu Xian to a county government official, and there are really a lot of officials. But Liu Xian felt a little disappointed, because whether it was a civilian official or a military attachΓ©, there were few who could make Liu Xian look at it.

Especially in terms of military attachΓ©s, Wu Anguo, the number one general under Kong Rong in the future, may have followed Kong Rong later, so he is not in the Northern Navy now.

In fact, Liu Xian doesn't pay much attention to Wu Anguo, after all, his strength is limited, at most he is just a second- or third-rate general.

The only thing that made Liu Xian feel more pleasing to the eye was the Beihai County Army Sima, surnamed Zheng Mingqing. This person should have the peak strength of a third-rate military general, and his temperament is relatively calm, especially a pair of big eyes, and he is bright.

He is a military attache directly appointed by the imperial court, and he has a strong military aura on his body, so he should be a somewhat capable person.

"Master Kong, Taishou, why are you in such a hurry to summon me and others to come?"

Jun Sima holds the military power of Beihai City, and in terms of actual influence, Zheng Qing may be greater than Liu Jie, the Taishou.

Zheng Qing looked at Liu Xian suspiciously, and then asked Kong Rong and Liu Jie.

"Nephew Zheng, I haven't seen you for a while, and I have invited you to the Confucian Mansion for a banquet several times, why don't you come."

Kong Rong also seemed to maintain a certain amount of politeness towards Zheng Qing, and said to him with a fist.

Liu Xian looked at his face and found that Kong Rong and Zheng Qing had known each other for a long time, and this Zheng Qing might have some background.

"Master Kong, you know, I only like to practice martial arts, not literature and ink, and most of the people who go to the Confucian Mansion for a banquet are some literati and ink writers, which are incompatible with my own personality, so I don't want to go. What's more, Zheng often thinks about how to train an elite division, and he is also busy training the army on weekdays. Therefore......"

"Hehe, it's not in the way, it's a pity, your uncle often mentions it to Kong, he prefers you to be an official rather than a general, and he wants you to spend your time on learning rather than martial arts."

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and Zheng only likes to do what he wants to do. Okay, Master Kong, Liu Taishou, is there something important? Zheng Qing didn't seem to like politeness either, and brought the topic back to business.

"Zheng Jun Sima, as the commander of the army of the officers and soldiers of a county, don't say that you don't know what you are calling for so urgently." Liu Xian interjected at this time.

"Oh? This son is ......"

"Zheng's nephew, he is Liu Xian of Liufu in Liulin Village, and he is Kong's son-in-law." Kong Rong took the call and introduced: "Virtuous son-in-law, Sima Zhengqing of Beihai County Army, the word Yongping, he is the nephew of the contemporary Confucian Zheng Xuan." β€œ

Zheng Xuan's nephew?

Zheng Xuan, the word Kangcheng. A native of Gaomi County, Beihai County. Confucian scholar and master of scripture in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zheng Xuan once entered Taixue to study "Jingshi Yi", "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Three Unification Calendars", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and learned "Ancient Texts and Books", "Zhou Li" and "Zuo Chuan" from Zhang Gongzu, and finally learned ancient scriptures from Ma Rong. After returning from the study tour, he returned to Donglai, gathered disciples to teach, and his disciples reached thousands of people, and his family was poor and studious, and he finally became a great Confucian. The disaster of the party was imprisoned, and Du Men commented and devoted himself to writing. In his later years, he was forced to join the army, and finally died of illness in Yuancheng at the age of seventy-four.

This Zheng Xuan is really amazing, in terms of fame, I'm afraid it's not under Cai Yong. What made Liu Xian astonished was that Zheng Xuan's disciples had thousands of followers. Well, Liu Bei also studied under Zheng Xuan, and he can be regarded as one of Zheng Xuan's disciples.

Liu Xian didn't think that Zheng Xuan actually had a nephew in Beihai as a general. However, due to Zheng Xuan's involvement, Zheng Qing will definitely not have a good time in the army, and being able to be a general in Beihai is probably the highest military position he can achieve.

No wonder, Liu Xian felt that this person was a little extraordinary, and it turned out that he had such a background.

"It turns out that you are Liu Xian's son, who has admired his name for a long time, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful." Zheng Qing had obviously heard of Liu Xian's name, and he didn't despise Liu Xian because he was just a teenager, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted.

"Hello General Zheng, let's get down to business. I guess you know, right? Liu Xian asked again.

"Beihai County has been violated by the Taishan Yellow Turban Thief, how can I not know? Could it be that this is the case? β€œ

"Haha, yes, it's really a person who understands." Liu Xian laughed and said.

"Alas, there are only 2,000 officers and soldiers in Beihai County, and I am already determined to live and die with Beihai City, no matter what ...... If there is an order, the general will definitely lead his troops to defend the North Sea in order to fulfill the duty of a soldier. Zheng Xuan said, glanced at Liu Jie, and then expressed his attitude.

"As you wish!" Liu Xian's expression was solemn, and he solemnly said to Zheng Qing: "This time the officials of the Beihai County Government are summoned to announce the order to fight against the attacking Taishan Yellow Turban Bandit Army. ”

"Oh? Liu Taishou, so what are we going to do? What's the plan? Please give it an order! When Zheng Qing heard this, his expression was overjoyed, and he looked at Taishou Liu Jiedao.

"Uh, this, this ......" Liu Jie didn't know how to explain it clearly to Zheng Qing, and finally had to say: "Zheng Jun Sima, it is Liu Xiangongzi's decision to fight against the Yellow Turban Thief Army that may come to attack, and this official has also decided to follow Liu Xiangongzi's opinion, how to do it...... This official's order, from now on, Liu Xiangongzi's order is equivalent to this official's order, and Liu Xiangongzi has full authority to handle the affairs of this fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves. ”

As Liu Jie spoke, he simply officially announced to the officials and generals present that from now on, Liu Xian would replace him in charge of all affairs.

I have to say that this Liu Jie is also a relatively simple guy, and it is rare that he knows himself very well and knows that he does not have that ability, so he is not as obsessed with power as ordinary government officials.

Zheng Qing was a little surprised, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "Young Master Liu Xian, there is news that you defeated tens of thousands of Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army in Yangshi County not long ago, are these news true?" ”

"Of course, this is not a defeat, but almost all of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. and also killed Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro. ”

"It turned out to be true, in this way, it is estimated that there are only twenty or thirty thousand people in the Taishan Yellow Turban Army who are attacking now, can Liu Xiangongzi have the confidence to defeat them?" Zheng Qing's eyes flashed with eagerness, expectant asking.

"Of course, don't look at how old my son is, but he doesn't fight uncertain battles. If you can obey the orders of this son, what is the reason for the 20,000 or 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves? ”

"Good! From now on, Zheng will listen to Liu Xian's orders, and say, what if you need the end now? Zheng Qing actually said happily that he was willing to obey Liu Xian's orders.

"There's really something you need to do. What Zheng Junsima needs to do now is to mobilize the officers and soldiers in your hands to hold the Beihai town and maintain order in the city. By the way, hand over the North City Gate to the escort of my Liu Mansion caravan, so that you can free up hundreds of officers and soldiers, break up these hundreds of officers and soldiers, and form a Beihai garrison reserve army for the whole city. ”

"In addition, what you have to do is ......"

Liu Xian did not ask the other officials if they were willing to follow his orders, and directly ordered them to act separately.
