According to Liu Bei's estimate.

If there are 7 stones of 3 million acres of beautiful land, 21 million stones of rice will be obtained every year. Seventy percent of the rice can be obtained 14.7 million stone of japonica rice.

It can support more than 660,000 laborers. If a family of old and young women and children is counted, it is enough to support two million people.

There are more than 180,000 people under his rule. There is still a lot of surplus from two million. Of course, this is only the most optimistic estimate. It is impossible to operate at 100% full capacity in a rural area. According to the frequency of military disasters and disasters, Liu Bei felt that 50% of the load could ensure safety.

That is to say. One place near the countryside will accommodate a maximum of one million people. What is the concept of a million people?

According to the ratio of 'ten households and one ding', Liu Bei can easily form a 10,000-strong tiger ben armed to the teeth. Please note that it is a tiger ben. If you press 'ten husbands and one soldier', Liu Bei can grit his teeth and form an army of 100,000.

It's not much more expensive. Danyang white Yu can be one as ten. Five hundred Danyang white yurts, comparable to five thousand armor. During the Three Kingdoms era, there were hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. In fact, in terms of local battlefields alone, each battle is only thousands to tens of thousands.

It is rare for hundreds of thousands of people to come out of the nest and put on a posture, and a scene of chaotic fighting appears.

10,000 tigers, even to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is enough.

As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest of bears.

Eight hundred Lu Yi ascended first, and Gao Shun eight hundred fell into battle.

Sun 100,000 and Zhang 800. Judgment from above.

If there are 10,000 tigers, what are the fears of millions of yellow scarves?

In the afternoon, a speedboat sailed into the city of Linxiang. Geng Yong sent the report from Cui Tingwei 600 miles to the construction site.

Yang Qiu, known as a cool official, finally made a move on the eunuch.

In April, Shangshu ordered Yangqiu to move to the school lieutenant.

After the disaster of the party, the eunuchs Cao Jie and Wang Fu were in power. Taiwei Duan Ying was in the same stream with him, the eunuchs were powerful, and Cao Jie and Wang Fu's fathers and brothers and children successively served as secretaries, schools, pastors, guards, orders, chiefs and other officials, corrupting and harming the people. Wang Fu's adopted son, Wang Ji, was particularly tyrannical. When he was the prime minister of Peiguo, whenever he killed someone, he would cut the body into several pieces and put it on the prisoner's car, post the accusation, and pull it to the counties to display the corpse in the public. In the summer, when the corpse decomposes, the bones are threaded with ropes and traveled all over the county before stopping. Anyone who saw the tragedy was shocked and feared. During his five years in office, more than 10,000 people were killed. Yang Qiu was extremely resentful of this, and once said with his hand on his thigh: "If one day I Yang Qiu serves as the captain of Si Li, how can I allow eunuchs to run rampant!" ”

Sure enough, after being appointed as the captain of Si Li, Yang Qiu immediately punished the eunuch.

Soon after, Jingzhao Yin Yang Biao sent Wang Fu's protégé and embezzled more than 70 million yuan. When Wang Fu happened to be out of the palace on vacation, Duan Ying, who was attached to the eunuch, was also impeached by himself because of the solar eclipse and was not in the court. Yangqiu took the opportunity to impeach Wang Fu, Duan Ying, Wang Fu's adopted son, Wang Meng of Yongle Shaofu, Wang Ji, the prime minister of Peiguo, and Chun Yudeng, Yuan Yu, and others. So, in April Xin Si (the eighth day of the first month), Wang Fu, Duan Ying, Wang Ji and others were all imprisoned, and Yang Qiu personally tortured them. Wang Fu, Wang Ji's father and son were tortured to death, and Duan Ying committed suicide in fear of crime. Yang Qiu cut Wang Fu's zombies into several pieces, stacked them at the Xia City Gate to show the public, and posted a notice: "Thief Wang Fu." ”

Yangqiu confiscated Wang Fu's family property again, and Duan Ying's wife and son migrated to Bijing.

Compared with Cui Tingwei's comments between the lines, it is very pleasant. Liu Bei felt that Yang Qiu did not act out of hatred for the eunuchs' dictatorship. Don't forget, Yang Qiu is the son-in-law of Cheng Huang, the middle attendant. A few years ago, he also sent assassins all the way to kill Cai Yong's family.

was supposed to be in cahoots with the eunuchs, but now he is killing his favorite minister Wang Fu.

Why?

Cui Tingwei has another handwritten letter describing the details.

According to the book, when Yang Qiu tortured Wang Fu's father and son, all kinds of torture were used. Wang Fu's adopted son, Wang Meng, who had also served as a lieutenant in Sili, begged for mercy: "My father and son deserve to be punished, but please remember that we are the same officials before and after, forgive my old father, and teach him to suffer less torture." But Yang Qiu said: "Your sins are too numerous to mention, even if you die, your sins will not be erased, and what are you saying to me, asking for forgiveness from your father?" Wang Meng scolded: "You used to serve my father and son, just like a slave, and the slave dared to rebel against your master!" Today, taking advantage of the danger of people, he fell into the well. One day, you will be punished yourself. Yang Qiu ordered the servants to plug Wang Meng's mouth with mud, and the whips and sticks were all down, beating Wang Fu's father and son to death.

As Wang Meng said, Yangqiu used to serve Wang Fu like a slave. Why did he just become the captain of Si Li, and he wanted to kill Wang Fu's family?

Moreover, the timing of the appointment of the lieutenant of the division is so coincidental?

And why, when Jingzhao Yin Yang Biao sent Wang Fu's protégé to embezzle more than 70 million yuan of property, Wang Fu happened to be out of the palace on vacation, and Duan Ying, who could give him a message, was also impeached because of the solar eclipse and was not in the court?

All kinds of coincidences are linked.

Liu Bei suddenly came to his senses.

This is a competition for favor among close ministers and infighting among eunuchs.

In the first place, the most favored servant in the forbidden middle school was Cheng Huang.

Otherwise, Cai Yong would not have said, "There are rumors on the road that there is a Master Cheng in the palace." Looking at his momentum, he will become a problem for the country again. However, the good times were short-lived. Wang Fu tried his best to match Xia Yu and others to the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, and returned with a great victory. Deeply favored by His Majesty, the momentum is rising, and there is no difference for a while. There must be a conflict with Cheng Huang. So, Cheng Huang faked the hand of his son-in-law Yang Qiu to eradicate dissidents.

This is murder by the sword.

Wang Fu was executed, and although Cheng Huang regained power, he made many enemies among the forbidden ministers. If you want to preserve, you must give up the yang ball to appease the anger of the internal officials.

Seeing that the face of the young monarch was not happy, Geng Yong asked: "I heard that Yangqiu killed Wang Fu first, and he was about to impeach Cao Jie and others. And said to the 'Zhongdu Guan' (official name, also known as the Duguan Engagement, Hanzhi, belonging to the priest and school captain, and the person who is in charge of investigating and prosecuting hundreds of officials who violate the law): 'For the time being, get rid of the powerful and traitorous traitors, and then get rid of the traitors and the remnants of the party. As for the powerful clans in the Three Princes and Jiuqing, such as the group of cubs in the Yuan family, you can punish them, why do you need to do it yourself! When the power door heard this, he couldn't hold his breath. Cao Jie and the others didn't even dare to go out of the palace and go home. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "This matter is not over." Yang Qiu will not die well. ”

Geng Yong thought about it for a while, and then he woke up: "Kill people with a knife? ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yang Qiu is just a knife in the hands of the mastermind behind it." Kill people with a knife and eradicate the poisonous schemes of dissidents. ”

Geng Yong said in a low voice: "But Cheng Huang, the middle waiter? ”

Liu Bei nodded first, and then shook his head: "Maybe it is, maybe not." ”

Geng Yong was speechless.

The only thing that made Liu Bei feel sorry was that Taiwei Duan Ying committed suicide in fear of sin. and Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan, known as "Liangzhou Sanming". Hanging hair and serving Rong, the success is the first. There is a great contribution to the community. but died in the eunuch infighting.

The Han Dynasty, from beginning to end, has three forces, wrestling with each other. Eunuchs, relatives, and party members.

Taiwei Duan Ying wants to protect himself, so he can only rely on one of the three factions. So he took refuge in the eunuchs. This person is none other than Wang Fu.

Not long ago, I received a handwritten letter from my teacher. Words, let him handle all the things in his hometown and go to Beijing as soon as possible.

Liu Bei deduced that the township was built, and the homeless people came. Can't travel far.

Actually. For the splendid capital, but intrigued, traps everywhere, killing people without seeing blood. Liu Bei had an inexplicable resistance.
