After Li Xin dealt with the young men on Beihai Island, he heard what Dong Zhao was doing, and hurriedly came to find him, and when he met, he said: "My lord, it is the emperor's order to punish Japanese children with corruption. Nowadays, adults indulge thousands, and the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Dong Zhao was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this was just Zhuge Liang's private act, and it was normal for him to burn a few fires when his new official arrived, so he changed Zhuge Liang's approach. "General Li Xin, send people and horses to arrest them comprehensively. I hope it's not too late to make amends. ”

Li was confident, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to carry it out. These thousands of Japanese children have long since disappeared. Re-combing, time-consuming and labor-intensive. When the Japanese saw their children, they took them and hid in the deep mountains and forests. Although the island is not big, finding people from the mountains and forests is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Li Xin tossed for a few months, and his return date had arrived, so he had no choice but to gather people and return to China by boat. The person who succeeded Li Xin was Zang Ba's Taishan brother - Sun Guan. Sun Guan was new to the island, and he was not familiar with the situation on the island, and he did not contribute to the search.

Dong Zhao's inner panic overshadowed day by day, seeing that Li Xin was about to return to China, he hurriedly came to find Li Xin, and after meeting, he asked Li Xin to stand up and kneel down directly. Li Xin hurriedly pulled Dong Zhao up and said, "Why did Dong Gong make this big gift? “

Dong Zhao said with a face full of shame: "I am ignorant, I am privately indulgent with the Japanese people, and I hope that after the general returns to China, he will cover up one or two." ”

Li Xin and Dong Zhao did not have much intersection, only during the time they were in Wadao, but this adult's arbitrariness taught him a lot, and when he saw what the other party said, he immediately said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and after I leave, I hope that the adult will urge Sun Guan to work hard to arrest him, so that there are fish that slip through the net." I am a small lieutenant general, I have no right to write to the emperor, rest assured, after returning to China, I will keep my mouth shut. ”

Dong Zhao said goodbye to Li Xin, and while urging Sun Guan, he offered a reward, which made people report. The bachelors from China married a wife and had children on the island, but they were also happy and happy, and the family came to the island to buy land, and there were many cultivators, and when they saw that the new envoy offered a heavy reward, they all started to think.

Liu Ze stabilized in Beijing for a few days, and the court meeting was held as usual. All states and counties sent envoys to congratulate them. The defense of the capital is still handed over to Lejin.

One day, Shi A and Liu Hu came to see Liu Ze at the same time. When the two of them asked to see each other together, there must be something going on, Liu Ze remained silent, and said slowly: "The two commanders came together, I don't know what happened?" ”

Shi A and Liu Hu glanced at each other, Liu Hu motioned to Shi Ah first, and Shi Ah said: "Dong Zhao has changed his strategy since he came to Wa Island, and let go of thousands of Japanese children. ”

Liu Ze was shocked in his heart, he wanted to take advantage of the crossing to start in advance, first, to let out a bad breath in his heart, and secondly, to let the Japanese people break the root and no longer be a disaster for future generations. I didn't expect this Dong Zhao to be so bold, regardless of the reason, and make his own opinions. Liu Ze said: "How many people know about this? ”

Liu Hu said: "When the deputy general Li Xin was transferred back to the Sanhan Military Port at the end of his term, the soldiers under his command discussed a lot, and they were dissatisfied with Dong Zhao's unauthorized change of General Zhuge strategy. "

Liu Ze sighed, people are not as good as heaven, and his hard work seems to be going to be in vain, "The two of you have been in charge of the Ming Guard and the Secret Guard for many years, but what is the best way to change the current situation?" ”

Shi A pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, change the generals and completely strangle the private children." ”

Liu Hu said: "Why didn't the emperor order Dong Zhao to pretend to amnesty the Japanese people? How can a widow stay in the mountains and forests for a long time? As soon as the situation is stable, we will inevitably get out of the mountains and forests, and we will definitely be able to catch them all at that time. ”

Liu Ze said: "Dong Zhao is a person with excellent talents, but he has read too many sage books and has a little more false compassion. Privately conniving with Japanese children must not go unpunished, and besides, if the private indulgence is in the front and the arrest is in the back, how can the Japanese believe Dong Zhao's actions? I think Dong Zhaoguan will be demoted by three levels, fined for one year, and go to Jizhou to be a county magistrate. The candidate to take over Dong Zhao is Zang Xuangao. Xuan Gao and Sun Guan are old brothers, and they cooperate smoothly. Liu Hu, it's up to you to go to Xuangao to spread my will, and then go and get another 10,000 horses, and be sure to leave no men on the island. In addition, I told Xuan Gao that the descendants of the bachelors who went to Wadao in China must be educated well, so that our Chinese culture will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

Liu Hu answered and turned around. Shi A was beside him, and Liu Ze asked, "Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Yizhou came to surrender civil and military, how are your emotions?" ”

Shi Adao: "The old ministers of the Sun family in Jiangdong, only Lu Meng, Sun Shao, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Sun Quan are very close, and Sun Quan is also obscure, and there is nothing out of place in his words. Jingzhou's civil and military forces were incompetent because Liu Cong was really incompetent, and no one had anything to do with them; Liu Qi is sick and weak, and the decoction is inseparable, and in the eyes of the ministers, his life will be exhausted. Pang Xi of Yizhou, dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's transfer from the county to guard the position, was resentful, and often expressed dissatisfaction. Weichen has informed Zhuge of the history of the assassination in a secret letter. ”

Liu Ze nodded, very satisfied with Shi A's work, "Brother Shi, you and Le Jin are the old men who have followed me the longest, and the brotherly relationship has not been said." Nowadays, Dahan's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the personnel are complicated, so you need to cooperate well with Liu Hu. Only by using the right people can the Han Dynasty be eternal. The students trained by Xiangping School, in the army, the outstanding ones are only deputy generals, and those who are engaged in politics are the highest county guards. Zhicai's health has not been good in recent years, Guo Jia has gradually become sick, Cheng Yu is old, and in the central place, talents will want to wither. Therefore, I am in urgent need of talents, and your people should give me a good look, and those who have real talents and real learning should report them immediately, and I will reserve talents for the country. ”

Shi Adao: "What the emperor said, the ministers are in their hearts. ”

After Zang Ba received the order, he ordered 10,000 horses, boarded the ship from Le'an, and after arriving in Sanhan, replenished supplies and drove to Wajima.

Dong Zhao was bent on making up for it, and made the island jump, although he caught more than 1,000 Japanese children, but most of them were not heard. Sun Guan was born as a thief and was vulgar, and he didn't have much interest in this boss who spoke softly.

After more than a month of ups and downs, Zang Ba finally arrived on Wa Island, Dong Zhao greeted him, Zang Ba read out Liu Ze's holy decree, and Dong Zhao listened to it in a cold sweat. A third-grade senior official was demoted to a county order, which dealt a big blow to Dong Zhao, who has always cherished his reputation. After Zang Ba finished reading, Dong Zhao trembled and kowtowed to thank him. Zang Ba arranged a warship to send Dong Zhao back to China.

When Sun saw Zang Ba, he jumped three feet high with joy, hugged Zang Ba and laughed, "The emperor is really a saint, you sent your eldest brother over." In the future, my brother will be able to do it comfortably. ”

Zang Ba gave Sun Guan a punch in the chest, and said with a smile: "Follow me, you will suffer." The eldest brother promises you that he will lose 20 pounds a year. ”

Sun Guan smiled and said: "Big brother, as long as you say a word, brother, I will come and go in the wind, frowning, not a man." Don't say that you lost 20 pounds, but these more than 100 pounds are not all from the eldest brother. ”

Zang said domineeringly: "Haha, big brother will give you the first order now." ”

Sun Guan immediately retracted his smile and said solemnly: "General, please speak." ”

Zang Ba said: "Immediately take back the troops who captured the Japanese children, train diligently, and maintain the place." Reward the lot, let the young and strong people from the country farm well, and don't miss the agricultural time. ”

Sun Guan's face changed, and he whispered: "Big brother, the one you sent away just now touched the emperor's scales, if you do this, you are not afraid that the emperor will demote you by three levels." ”

Zang Ba scolded: "Execute the order, no need to say more. ”

Seeing that Zang Ba was serious, Sun Guan didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly turned around. Zang Ba ordered his staff to write a proclamation to the effect that Zang Ba, the new envoy of the Japanese State and the general stationed in the Japanese State, informed the people of the Japanese Island that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is rich from all over the world, benevolent and loving to the people. Therefore, the people of the Japanese kingdom are treated equally, regardless of Han and Japanese. In the future, the Han people and the Japanese people will advance and retreat together, and the Japanese island will be expanded, so that every family will have surplus grain and every household will live in a good house. We hereby inform you.

The notice was posted, and the Japanese people who were killed did not believe that when the Han people became so kind. Who knew that after a few months, the Han officials really stopped speaking harshly to the Japanese people, and one by one they became kind and kind, guiding farming, providing money and food, and the Japanese gradually let down their guard.

As soon as Liu Ze's announcement of encouraging trade with the Western Regions came out, the wealthy families couldn't help but be moved. Wealthy and dangerous, transport goods to the Western Regions, trade with foreign people, although the distance is too far, but the profit is extremely high. Marx once wrote in "Capital": If there is a 1o% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; Another 2o% of the profit, and the capital is active; With a 5o% profit, capital will take risks; For the sake of 1oo% profit, capital dares to trample on all the laws of the world; With a 3oo% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging. Businessmen are profit-seeking by nature, no different from the greed of capital.

The Mi family, the Zhen family, the Kuai family in Jingzhou, the 6 families in Yangzhou, the whole family, as well as the well-known businessmen Wei Hong, Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, etc., actively prepared goods and embarked on a trip to the Western Regions. With this, the profession of bodyguard arose. Because Liu Ze has strict requirements for the family, the number of private soldiers in the family is stuck, and it cannot exceed 100. What role can a mere 100 people play in selling bulk goods? Major businesses have hired bodyguards. The bodyguards are mostly composed of rangers and veterans. Veterans are familiar with the use of weapons, skilled in coordination and combat, unlike rangers, who love to be showy and have personal heroism, so they are more popular with merchants.

After Mi Zhu learned that Liu Bei died, he cried a lot, the dream in his heart was shattered, and he no longer thought about strange goods. After Liu Bei's death, Liu Ze ordered someone to release him. After being released from prison, Mi Zhu never asked about political affairs, nor did he rely on his identity as the emperor's eldest brother, and painstakingly managed his own one-third of an acre. Wajima bought tens of thousands of acres of land and hired more than 1,000 Wa people (all of them over the age of 55, of course) to cultivate; Seeing Liu Ze's announcement this time, he carefully prepared hundreds of truckloads of goods, hired more than 500 bodyguards, and started his trip to the Western Regions. Mi Fang hugged Liu Ze's thigh, but she achieved a high position in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu saw that there were too many goods and goods, so he personally accompanied him. The Mi family also followed dozens of people, and all the family soldiers were in place. Several leaders in the family soldiers are well-known chivalrous men in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu has used different means to reach the network, which has made great efforts for the operation of the Mi family.

Mi Zhu's brigade passed through Liangzhou, and Kankan was about to reach Yumen Pass. Anyone who has read a few Tang poems can casually say a few sentences about the poems describing Yumen Pass: For example, why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass. The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass. Wait a minute.

(Happy New Year to all)
