In March of the second year of Chuping (190), Dong Zhuo had completed the relocation of the capital.

He proclaimed himself the Taishi and monopolized the government.

All the urgent matters were sent to the Taishi Mansion, and the early dynasty of the Son of Heaven was like a fictitious one.

He also built a castle in Yixian County, where he put all the wealth he had obtained in Luoyang, and at the same time hoarded enough food for 50,000 people to eat for 30 years.

Dong Zhuo smiled and said to Lu Bu: "I am in the middle of the pass, and I can compete with the heroes of the world, even if I am defeated, I can survive here." ”

In addition, Dong Zhuo also wantonly divided his own clansmen and generals, and ordered Guo Yan, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, and Niu Fu to lead their own armies to garrison the land of Sanfu.

Take full control of the surroundings of Chang'an.

In February, the people of the Yingchuan Army were celebrating the "February Festival", and Dong Zhuojun came to slaughter the people here, and also panicked that they were thieves.

Dong Zhuo not only punished this army, but also distributed the captured women to those soldiers.

The people all have a grudge against Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo not only connived at his subordinates, but also rashly entered the palace and raped the palace maids and even princesses.

Hundreds of officials dare to be angry but dare not speak.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo was under the command of Huangfu Song, because Dong Zhuo had disobeyed orders many times, and Huangfu Song had punished him, so Dong Zhuo had a grudge against Huangfu Song.

After moving the capital to Chang'an, after the princes' coalition army retreated, Dong Zhuo humiliated Huangfu Song many times, and every time he went to the court, he had to designate Huangfu Song to kneel to greet him.

After many times, Huangfu Song was humiliated, and secretly hid a sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo during a previous dynasty, but was stopped by Dong Zhuo's command.

Dong Zhuo was very angry about Huangfu Song's assassination of himself, and immediately wanted to order someone to execute Huangfu Song.

Fortunately, Sikong Cai Yong dissuaded him in time, and Huangfu Song was able to save his life, but he was also imprisoned by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo had no good impression of the original Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but Cai Yong was kind to Dong Zhuo in his early years, and Dong Zhuo trusted him very much.

In addition, Huangfu Song has a son, named Jianshou, who is friendly with Dong Zhuo, and under the plea of the two, this matter is over, but Huangfu Song was not released in the end.

Wei Wei Zhang Wen also had a gap with Dong Zhuo, in the early years, Dong Zhuo's crusade against the Yellow Turban was unfavorable, and he was almost sentenced to death by Zhang Wen, but fortunately, Li Ru was maneuvering around, and Dong Zhuo was fine.

Therefore, after Dong Zhuo took power, he framed Zhang Wen for colluding with Yuan Shu and arrested him.

However, Zhang Wen was not as lucky as Huangfu Song, and before anyone could intercede, Zhang Wen was whipped to death by Dong Zhuo in the market.

At this point, hundreds of officials no longer dared to confront Dong Zhuo head-on, such as Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and others, all of whom claimed that they were sick and could not go to court.

Although Cai Yong already knew Dong Zhuo's cruelty, and he regretted letting Dong Zhuo enter Beijing in the first place, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only try to persuade Dong Zhuo to be good.

Although Dong Zhuo agreed on the surface, he did not take Cai Yong's words to heart.

Cai Yong knows that he has left a stigma, and now he can only try to make up for it, the only thing he is not worried about is his daughter Cai Yan.

Fortunately, March 15 is the day Cai Yan got married, and she married Dong Yuan, the daughter of Dong Zhuo.

Seeing the long convoy leaving Chang'an City, Cai Yong's heart relaxed.

Qin Hua is a person that Cai Yong values very much, and he believes that his daughter marrying Qin Hua will be a good destination.

In order to win over Qin Hua, Dong Zhuo sealed Qin Hua as General Wei, and Liangzhou Mu merged with Zhou Mu.

Dong Zhuo didn't take his original state pastor to heart, and this time he simply gave him to Qin Hua, and Qin Hua also became the first person in the late Han Dynasty to serve as a double state pastor.

This is actually what Li Ru meant, Bingzhou is not a rich place, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are a large number of foreign Hu living here, which is extremely difficult to govern.

One of the purposes of giving Qin Hua the annexation state was so that he could focus on the annexation and have no time to take care of the land of the three auxiliaries.

But to Li Ru's surprise, Qin Hua did not put his mind on merging the state, and after marrying Cai Yan, Qin Hua wrote to the imperial court, saying that Zhang Lu, a rice thief in Hanzhong, was in turmoil and wanted to lead the army to crusade.

Dong Zhuo didn't understand what Qin Hua's idea was, but Li Ru understood.

"Lord, then Qin Xuanhu wants to covet Yizhou. Yizhou is a place where grain is produced, and he seized Yizhou, so he can covet the world when he enters, and he can protect himself when he retreats. ”

"Is that allowed?"

Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, he didn't expect Qin Hua to have such great ambitions.

"Don't worry, the land of Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Qin Hua wants to capture it, it will definitely take a long time, and Yizhou Liu Yan is also a hero, plus the terrain of Yizhou is complicated, if Qin Hua wants to capture Yizhou, it will not be possible in three or five years."

"So, let it be."

At this time, Qin Hua gave himself a rare vacation for a few days and took the three beauties to visit Liangzhou.

After so many years of governance, Liangzhou has been greatly developed in terms of both government governance and economy, looking at the newly reclaimed wasteland one after another, as well as the sincere smiles of the people, Qin Hua felt extremely satisfied.

Qin Hua also heard about what Dong Zhuo did in Chang'an, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Although he has experienced the crusade of the coalition forces, there are still more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo's command, which is definitely not something that Qin Hua can contend with.

"It's up to you to kill Dong Zhuo."

Qin Hua whispered, and was soon pulled away by Beigong Tiexin, she found some novel things in the field, and wanted Qin Hua to introduce them.

In fact, these are water conservancy facilities developed by the Ministry of Industry, which can make it easier for people to irrigate their land.

With the strong support of Qin Hua, the Ministry of Industry is not only developing better iron-striking technology, but also developing other facilities for the benefit of the people.

For example, water conservancy facilities in the fields, digging well water in newly built villages, and developing more convenient agricultural tools.

At the same time, Qin Hua also separated an engineering department from the Ministry of Engineering, which was somewhat similar to the civil engineering companies of later generations, and was responsible for large-scale civil engineering projects in various parts of Qin Hua's jurisdiction.

For example, the construction and repair of city walls, the construction of new government offices, the construction of official residences, etc.

Of course, their biggest project now is to build a post station in the Western Regions, which is said to be a post station, but because of the environment in the Western Regions, of course, they can't simply build a few houses.

Instead, it must be built according to the model of a small war fortress, which can play a role in protecting the caravan this time, and it is inconvenient for Qin Hua, a small group of thieves, to send troops to clean it up, but as long as the caravan can hide in these post stations, there is no need to worry about being attacked.

Although Qin Hua will also regularly send troops to maintain the safety of the trade route, as the caravans continue to increase, the number of bandits who want to come here to loot is also increasing, and Qin Hua can do nothing about this.

After all, he couldn't have sent troops to protect the entire trade route.

Fortunately, after the opening of this trade route, the countries of the Western Regions also tasted the sweetness of trade, and with the efforts of Moge, the "Governor of the Western Regions", the countries of the Western Regions also spontaneously joined in maintaining the safety of the trade route, so in general, as long as you bring a certain amount of guards, it is still very safe to walk on this trade route.
