Chapter 435: Cao Ren's Decision
Inside the Wu Fort.
The head of the Zhang family, who was over forty years old, originally boasted of being a famous family, and he also paid great attention to his demeanor on weekdays, but at this moment he was embarrassed, his hair was scattered, his face and nose were bruised, and he was obviously injured when he resisted during the arrest.
He and his several sons were tied up in the lobby, staring angrily at Guan Ping, who was sitting on a high position, his face was suddenly full of anger, and he shouted: "Guan Ping." My Zhang family has repeatedly produced three high-ranking officials in the court since the first Han Dynasty, and we are also the side branch of Zhang Wen, the former Taiwei, and also from a famous family, you dare to treat my Zhang family like this, are you not afraid of being in the public target, losing the heart of the heroes? ”
For a while, although the head of the Zhang family was restrained, he still tried his best to roar.
Merely.
Guan Ping stared at him with a hint of shock, playing with the wine lord in his hand, playing with the taste: "Oh? Famous family, is it very prominent? ”
"Do you think the family is very powerful and remarkable?"
After a mockery, without waiting for the head of the Zhang family to answer, his face immediately changed suddenly, and his body was soaked with murderous aura, and he scolded angrily: "What? Didn't you guard the Imperial Wu Fort just now when you were crazy, and how many good sons did you shoot me? ”
"Now that you've become a prisoner, you want to use your name to scare the general?"
"Close ......"
"Shut up!"
With another scolding, Guan Ping interrupted him and shouted: "Tell you, I, Guan Ping, have never been frightened, since you want to use your famous family to negotiate terms with me, then I will also bet with you, the bet is whether I dare to kill the old and young of the Zhang family and exterminate the family." ”
With an angry shout, looking at the resolute look on Guan Ping's face, it didn't seem to scare him at all, and the Zhang family master's originally extremely hard backbone suddenly softened, and his legs even trembled...... There is a tendency to stand unsteadily.
He is also an old man, how can he not see Guan Ping's determination to execute his entire family? Obviously, he is going to use his family to rebuild his prestige.
Seeing his dead look, Guan Ping was impatient and waved his hand directly, and the sergeant on the side dragged several people down like a dead dog.
The head of the Zhang family was all cowardly, and after hearing that Guan Ping was going to execute the whole family, he was already frightened and fainted.
After watching everyone leave, Guan Ping's indignant face gradually dissipated.
Regarding the handling of the Zhang family, the decision he made in his heart will definitely not be changed.
As for offending Zhu Haoqiang, in recent days, he has used the power of the secret guard to frequently spy on the defense loopholes of the various Haoqiang around Biyang, and then led everyone to break them, loot money and food, and liberate hidden households.
For the most heinous criminals, he has always taken tough measures to deal with them.
For those who commit a slightly shallow crime, they only raid their homes and do not destroy their clans.
From this moment on, he Guan Ping has become the number one enemy of all the heroes, and he will inevitably suffer from the unanimous resistance of all families in the future.
Of course, he still treats it differently.
For example, Cai, Mao and other heroes in the east of Biyang City are quite famous among the people, and they often organize soup kitchens to help the people in the year of the disaster, Guan Ping not only did not raid the house, but sent messengers to pacify them, so that they can live with peace of mind, and do not have to worry about this matter will implicate them.
Win over a group and suppress a group.
At this point, Guan Ping is still very clear.
If you don't ask questions and kill all the heroes indiscriminately, then the former Jiangdong Xiaobawang is a lesson from the past......
After he started to deal with the affairs of the Zhang family, he couldn't help but groan: "In recent days, it has only broken more than a dozen Haoqiang, but it has rescued more than thousands of hidden households, so many yeoman farmers are controlled by Haoqiang, hiding in the state household registration without paying taxes. ”
"In the long run, the money and grain of the Haoqiang warehouse will gather more and more, and the power will grow stronger and stronger.
"Without the cultivated output of yeoman farmers, how can the state maintain the treasury with taxes, and without money and grain, how can it carry out foreign military development and internal political reform?"
At this moment, since copying more than ten houses, Guan Ping gradually understood the reason why the Xianhan Dynasty declined.
When the yeoman farmers become more and more unable to support themselves and have to sell themselves into slavery, the decline of the country will be inevitable.
"The local heroes are really the moths of the past dynasties and the country!"
At this time, he also felt more and more that the later Celestial Empire had to focus on the local power.
Only when land is nationalized, land sales and mergers are prohibited, and the development of the powerful is inhibited, can the country achieve long-term peace and stability.
Two days later.
Outside of Wubao, on a makeshift execution ground.
The Han army recruited more than 1,000 people from the surrounding area, and then counted the total crimes of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family for several generations.
"Major General, please call the shots for the grass people!"
"The three sons of the Zhang family went to rob the people's daughters, and the only daughter under the old man's knees was humiliated by it, and then committed suicide by jumping into the well."
An old man said in anguish with tears in his eyes.
And that's not all.
The rest of the people also spontaneously counted the sins of the Zhang family.
When the emotions of all the people were completely mobilized, the Zhang family became a "heinous" family at this moment.
Seeing this, Guan Ping vaguely smiled at the sanctions, but on the surface he waved his hand resolutely.
On the execution ground, a member of the Han sergeant slashed down with an executioner, and one by one the heads were thrown away, and hot blood gushed out from his neck.
Just a moment.
In the Zhangjia side branch of Biyang, there are more than 180 people in total, and they will be removed!
Subsequently, more than 2,000 hidden households were rescued from the Zhang family, which also shows the strength of this force, and in the end, about 1,500 households were willing to go to the land south of the Yangtze River because they were alone and had no worries.
For a time, the big ships of the Han army traveled back and forth between the water systems of the Han River, Bishui and Rushui, transporting the people south.
And Guan Ping has already thought clearly, this part of the people who went south to Jingzhou let them go to open up the wasteland.
There are still many mountain barbarians living in seclusion in the four counties of Jingnan, and there are also large and small fertile fields that are in the undeveloped stage, but until now, the four counties are relatively not too affected by the war, and the situation is relatively stable.
Therefore, in the past few years, although Guan Ping has been worried about this matter for many years, and often asks about the matter of opening up the wasteland, but the results are very small!
Now, most of these hermits chose to go south alone, and Guan Ping distributed the fields and exempted them from taxes for several years, so even if the divided fields were wasteland, presumably for self-sufficiency, they would also work hard to double the wasteland.
Relocating the people to the south to settle down and let them open up wasteland for farming is one of Guan Ping's plans.
Judging from the development of Jingnan in later generations, it has reached the level of "two lakes are ripe, and the world is full".
Guan Ping also wanted to do his best to lay the foundation for the development of the four counties in Jingnan first.
Secondly, Guan Ping also obtained a kind of grain seed from Jiaozhou in the collection of the secret guard, and this kind of grain is slightly different from the ordinary grain seed and wheat, and after careful study, he obtained that this grain seed is the famous Champa rice in later generations and the grain production has increased greatly.
Champa rice was discovered during the Three Kingdoms period, which Guan Ping did not expect!
Of course, this also prompted Guan Ping's determination to develop the four counties of Jingnan more and more.
If there is not enough wasteland to be developed, where can there be surplus fields to cultivate Champa rice?
After the execution of the Zhang family, Guan Ping not only looted the money and grain from the treasury and replenished the military funds, but also recovered the rest of the fertile land and other places one by one and redistributed them to the people around Biyang.
This move made the people of the Quartet praise the Han army for gratitude, and the popularity of the Han army here became higher and higher.
As the counties of Runan have been attacked by the Han army in recent days, a military newspaper has also been sent to the former Han capital Xuchang, and the current Central Plains important town Cheqi General's Mansion.
General's Palace.
Cao Ren, the supreme commander in charge of the front-line war of the governors Jing and Huai, was on top of the case, and he carefully observed the military reports that had been squeezed in recent days, and the worry on his face began to thicken......
Half-loud, he couldn't help but groan: "Since the death of Brother Meng De, my Great Wei has fallen into an eventful autumn!" Now the big-eared thief led the people of Shu out of Qinchuan, and fought with our army on the western front in the land of Sanfu and Yongzhou, where the war was not settled, and there was a fork in the south of Xudu. ”
When he carefully saw the military reports from the south of Xudu, his eyes couldn't help but straighten with anger......
He didn't expect that when the Han army would fight with his main force in Jiangxia, he would also send an army to attack Runan or the land south of Xudu to wreak havoc.
Now, with the Han army's siege of cities and attacks on various strong, all counties and counties have suddenly fallen into a bloody situation.
Looking at these military newspapers, Cao Ren picked up a military newspaper again with a bored mind and looked at it, and this letterhead was written by the order of Biyang County.
This is a detailed record of how Guan Ping was unable to break through the city, but how he turned the spearhead and pointed at the powerful clans in the countryside to raid their homes and exterminate the clans with their troops.
"This ...... Why is this Guan Ping so difficult? ”
"How can you cause me a big trouble like this?"
After seeing it, Cao Ren realized Guan Ping's intention almost instantaneously, and couldn't help but sigh.
And in the next second, he couldn't help but immediately wave his hand and summon the guards next to him to find the generals' staff to discuss countermeasures.
He had decided to send his sergeants south again to expel the Han army.
Otherwise, if left unchecked, the counties of their own country will never be at peace, and they will even fall into serious civil strife.
When the generals and staff gathered together, Cao Ren discussed with everyone, and the meeting lasted for about half an hour before it finally came to an end.
In the end, Cao Ren decided to send Xuzhou Assassin Shi Lu Qian to lead Xu Si's people south to march south to Runan to first clear the Jingzhou army, and then vigorously mobilize and recruit Yan and Henan, and the people of the three states of Qing gathered in Xuchang, ready to personally supervise the army to go south to conquer Guanping at any time.
For a time, Cao Ren, the general of the cavalry, attached much more importance to Guan Ping, who only had more than 10,000 people, than Guan Yu's main army.
