When Liu Bei heard Tian Chou's suggestion, he suddenly calmed down, sat down slowly, waved his hand weakly, and motioned for all the ministers to sit down as well. I feel sad and lonely in my heart.

After the initial difficulties of starting a business, the courtiers began to enjoy the benefits obtained. As the territory under their jurisdiction became larger and larger, their "non-subordinate" heart became more and more intense, and when they seized the opportunity, they made some small moves behind their backs to expand the power of Qingzhou, causing a fait accompli, and forcing Liu Bei to step towards the throne step by step.

Initially, this kind of expansion was consistent with the development of Qingzhou, and was acquiesced and connived at by Liu Bei, but now this kind of proposition has threatened Liu Bei.

There is a strong idea of "replacing it" in Chinese culture, which has led to a strong crisis of unrest lurking in society. The courtiers are powerful, and it seems that they are sorry for themselves if they don't become emperors. The emperor seized the opportunity, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't kill such a courtier. Thus, the slaughter of heroes became inevitable. Subsequently, the expansion of our nation was completely castrated, either killed or killed, and the change of dynasty was so alternated. The first thing that the new emperor thought of was to consolidate his throne and slaughter the heroes, and the power ......of the nation was thus consumed in the internal strife.

In recent years, with the expansion of their own power, the ambitions of their subordinates have gradually been revealed, and the idea of becoming the founding hero has always tempted them. They kept looking for opportunities to attack Cao Cao and Sun Ce, the two largest warlord forces in the north and south, in an attempt to clear all obstacles to the throne and create a fait accompli. Although this idea was ostensibly for Liu Bei's sake, so he had quite a lot of supporters among the upper officials, but this kind of action has threatened Qingzhou's long-term strategy, and even set a dangerous precedent, putting Liu Bei himself under threat.

Although Zhou Yu loves to take risks with his soldiers, Liu Bei's control over the army is not strict, even if he dares to take risks and sell the old master's ordnance privately, with the organizational discipline of the Qingzhou soldiers, does Zhou Yu have the ability to move hundreds of soldiers in just half a year?

If it weren't for Tian Chou's eagerness to hook up this matter with Sun Ce, he might not have been able to arouse Liu Bei's vigilance, but when Liu Bei calmed down and scrutinized it carefully, he found that this matter was by no means so simple.

"Speaking of Zhou Yu, I suddenly remembered that I originally arranged for Xu Shu to pick up Zhou Yu from Xihe, why didn't Xu Shu act?" Liu Bei asked in a deep voice.

Frustrated, he lowered his head and sorted out the documents, and replied: "The people of Yanzhou have moved into Xihe, and everything is complicated, and Xu Shu can't leave it for the time being. In addition, all the boats we built ourselves were taken away by Zhou Yu, the Yellow River was about to freeze, and the civilian boats were afraid that they would be trapped in Tongguan and would not return, so they were unwilling to accept employment. This matter has been reported to the lord, who was not allowed to forcibly requisition civilian ships at that time, so we could not meet Zhou Yu. ”

Liu Bei's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, and he secretly felt a chill in his heart.

At that time, I was in Longkou Port to pay attention to the training of Wenpin's southbound fleet. The Governor's Mansion sent Xun Yu, a novice, to report to him, only saying that he could not collect civilian ships and let him make a decision, but he did not mention anything about responding to Zhou Yu. Judging from this small action, Zhou Yu's private sale of armaments may or may not be, but the target of this matter is not Zhou Yu, but Sun Ce in the south.

Liu Bei shook his head and suppressed his anger: "Recently, I have felt that the offensive in Qingzhou has been a lot more chaotic, and the army seems to be crashing blindly and cluelessly. I would have liked to take a non-interventionist attitude so that the Governor's staff officers could gain experience in practice, but unfortunately I have been disappointed by what you have done during this time.

I sent troops to Tongguan, and I didn't plan to bring back the emperor, so I told Zhou Yu in advance that I could withdraw on my own if I couldn't do anything. There are regulations on how many miles the emperor's imperial car walks every day, and there are also regulations on what kind of imperial road to take, before solving Hongnong Zhang Ji, it is impossible for Zhou Yu, who is alone in the depths, to take the emperor with him, while repairing the road for the emperor, while slowly crossing the territory of Zhang Ji, Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, Lu Bu and others who are eyeing him, and enter Qingzhou.

What's more, Luoyang still has my teacher Lu Zhizai, he wants to intercept the emperor, and even I don't have a temper.

Therefore, the strategy of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' that Gong Fu thought in his heart has no chance to implement in Qingzhou now. It is also impossible to implement.

Originally, the purpose of letting Zhou Yu break into Tongguan was not to bring the emperor back with him, but to deter the Liangzhou soldiers and make them dare not continue to torture the royal family. This is also the reason why Zhou Yu suddenly withdrew his troops when the emperor was close to Tongguan - because I had already explained in advance in Jiexiu, and when the situation was not ripe, our army would never make wedding clothes for others. ”

The power of imperial power is unimaginable to people who have not experienced it. The emperor is the biggest slave owner, and life and death are all up to his mood. Everything you have is the emperor's, all your efforts and sweat are the emperor's, the emperor asks for it, it is to look up to you, you dare not to offer, it is a great disrespect for the crime of "not paying tribute", this so-called "the whole world is not the king's land, the whole world is not the king's minister", the emperor is the "son of heaven", rebelling against God, this is a great rebellion.

In the absence of a complete weakening of imperial power, the emperor would never be willing to compromise with the people - even if the emperor was willing, the defenders would not. Only when the emperor has no way out, will he be willing to admit that the common people are also human beings like himself, and have the right to enjoy the income of his legitimate labor, and are not lowly slaves that he can take and take, and agree that he should also do his duty for the common people when he enjoys the offerings of the common people. Then, through the signing of a legal agreement with the emperor - the notarization of the stone. Qingzhou's various policy reforms will be affirmed by the central government in the form of the country's first.

Prior to this, Liu Bei was willing to maintain an arrogant separation, and went all out to manage the four states of Qingdao, Hebei, and Youyou, as well as the four affiliated countries (Korea, Kyushu, Liao, and Fangfang). Use your brute attitude to protect these people from the plundering of imperial power. In a generation, we will instill new ideas in the people of the four states and four countries. Let these people have the courage to defend their interests, even the imperial power cannot be plundered.

Then, with the prosperity and strength of the people of the four states and the four countries, the idea of change was generated from the bottom up, and the statecraft that had been adhered to since ancient times was shaken. Let the idea of change arise spontaneously from the scholars, and then begin to look forward to it.

On the other hand, only by creating a precedent for change within the system will future reforms become less bloody and less life-threatening. In this way, this nation will produce a self-renewal mechanism and an inclusive mechanism: although the political ideas are different, the talents of the nation will not be destroyed in the battle of political opinions. That is to say: I can disagree with you, but you have the right to speak for yourself.

In this way, every strength of our nation has been gathered to conquer and expand outward.

Liu Bei paused for a moment and continued: "The thunder cavalry and the wolf cavalry attacked westward, mainly to respond to Zhou Yu's actions and contain the armies of Zhang Ji, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao. Therefore, Zhou Yu's army is the master, and the thunder cavalry and wolf cavalry are the second, taking advantage of the situation to capture the people, so that our army can gain more points and the war expenses can be compensated. ”

Liu Bei sternly added: "However, this long-term strategic plan turned out to be fragmented, and the meeting point of the two sides was Puyang instead of Luoyang, so the only gain in this war was only more than 100,000 people in southern Yanzhou." If they do something out of the ordinary in Puyang, we will have to gain extra hatred.

Yanzhou and Yuzhou have strong clan power, and I would rather impact them with commodities and crush their economic lifeline. In this way, the people of Qingzhou have both gains but no losses, so why not?

It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to conquer people's hearts. If you want the people to focus on my Qingzhou policy, and conquer one city after another, when will it end? The transition expands rapidly, and once the control is not strict, the dregs of the rotten Confucians rise, and they use their advantage of knowledge to deliberately distort among the people, and the magic becomes rotten again. The world has returned to the slave era again, the people's property is not guaranteed, and the rights and interests are not respected, at that time, what is the difference between Qingzhou and the past? ”

Liu Bei groaned bitterly: "If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, how many times do I need to explain this truth?" The city has been built for more than ten years, and the four walls have not yet been completed. You can't build a wide circle around the city in one day, everyone, what are you anxious about?

The purpose of this dispatch is to deter, to demonstrate, and to show the strength of our Qingzhou, so as to buy us ten years of peace. Ten years, ladies and gentlemen, there is a territory larger than the territory of the Han Dynasty in the north, and a market in the south that is richer than the Han Dynasty. If we have ten years of development, who can compare the life of the people of Qingzhou, and at that time, we only need to push with our little fingers, and the people of the world will not obey?

What can be done with money is by force, and what can be solved with a sword must be solved by benevolence, righteousness and morality. Don't think you're making a small move, I don't know. Look at what you've done recently, you have no clue, it's a mess, Qingzhou's plan and then move, where did it go? ”

Under Liu Bei's sharp reprimand, the ministers were silent.

Frustrated and unwillingly argued: "Yanzhou is fertile, more than desolate borderland, instead of throwing strength into the borderland, it is better to take Yanzhou Yangzhou and develop it with all its might, wouldn't the effect be better." ”

"The resistance is also greater.", Liu Bei replied coldly: "Although the development of this place is labor-saving, it is not necessarily worry-free. The most important thing is that Yanzhou is near Luoyang, the capital division, if it is well developed, who can guarantee that the emperor will not appoint a new state pastor, if the emperor does this, do we have to raise an army to rebel? ”

Tian Feng asked tentatively: "Lord, the Qingzhou fleet went down to the south one after another, and they turned the warehouse upside down, and I think they can buy the entire Yangzhou with the goods they carry." The barbarian land in the south can really be richer than my big man? The lord did not prohibit it, and if they did not sell well, should they not stay in the South Seas? The fact that our Qingzhou fleet is empty will lead to unfavorable connections between Izumo and Qingzhou by sea in the future. ”

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Around the spring equinox next year, when the length of day and night is equal, Hipalos will blow again, and their fleet will sail back." The ship must have been loaded with ivory, honey paper, tortoiseshell, pearls, armor, metal, and other Daqin cargo.

As for whether they can sell out the goods, there is no need to worry. I asked Qin Lun: More than 100 years ago, around the time of Emperor Guangwu (Liu Xiu) establishing the Han Dynasty in the eastern capital of Luoyang, Great Qin gave birth to a great (scientific) man named Pliny (a learned scientist in ancient Rome). He wrote a book, in which it is recorded that about 100 years before Pulin was born (more than 1,500 years before Zheng He went to the West), the king of Sri Lanka (the ancient name cannot be found, but it is now called instead) submitted to the Great Qin Empire and sent an envoy Laces and four people from the sea route to envoy Great Qin. Laces told the people of Daqin that his father had personally visited Dahan to do business and sold silk bought from Dahan to Daqin.

Pliny explains that after the Sri Lankan envoys arrived in Rome, the Roman nobles began to sell pearls and Roman jewels from the sea to the kingdom of Seris in exchange for silk. He wrote: "According to the lowest estimates, no more than ten thousand gold coins of our country [i.e. Rome] flowed into India, Seris, and the Arabian Peninsula every year (sesterces). ”

And the "country of Seris" here is the Roman name for China at that time. The pearls shipped from Rome were called "Hu Zhu" in the Han Dynasty at that time.

100 million gold coins, in the Han Dynasty, when the productive forces were underdeveloped, the 100 million gold coins flowing out of Rome every year were equivalent to the annual income of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years. Only by making many sea voyages could a large amount of silk be transported to Rome in exchange for "strange stones", and the trade volume of 100 million Systos could be reached.

"About 200 years ago, the Great Qin Kingdom sold to the South Seas could make the outflow of gold coins reach 10,000. At that time, my Han only used silk as a commodity, in exchange for a large number of Daqin goods, now, the Qingzhou merchants who went south carried more than silk, Dishi Port could not eat the goods, let them sail to Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka could not eat, let them sail to India, to Daqin. Liu Bei said angrily.

(PS: Pliny served as the Spanish governor of Rome and the commander of the Roman navy.) In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted near Naples, Italy, and the nearby ancient city of Pompeii was completely submerged by violent volcanic ash. It was also during that time that Ban Chao began to send missions to the Western Regions, and the Han court began to open up the land trade route to Rome - the Silk Road).

When Vesuvius erupted, Pliny was stationed there with a Roman fleet under the command of the naval commander, and in order to record and investigate the eruption, Pliny went straight to the scene alone, and was spewed down by the thick smoke and poisonous smoke from the volcano, and died without a single injury.

Soon after Pliny dedicated himself to science, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch Zheng Zhong and others were made marquis for their meritorious work in killing their relatives, and thus began the history of eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Subsequently, naturalists used the "Pliny Method" in their natural science research.

It is worth mentioning that during the Cultural Revolution, Marshal Peng Dehuai, who was imprisoned, used the "Pliny method" to conduct research on the claim that 10,000 catties of grain could be produced per mu. In the end, he confirmed: the cultivation effect of 10,000 catties of grain per mu is unrepeatable, and it is purely a boast. Subsequently, he was beaten to death by the young revolutionary with a belt......

The most surprising thing is that until now, there has been no confession from the persecutors of Marshal Peng Dehuai. ）

Huayin, Yang Ding, who attacked Duan Xuan, was attacked by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and died in Jingzhou after the defeat. Li Wei and Guo Yan took advantage of the situation to attack Duan Xuan's camp, and Duan Xuan tried his best to resist in order to delay time for the emperor, and the army was defeated and died.

At this time, the emperor's car had already passed the Tong Pass, and he couldn't see Zhou Yu's army, so he didn't dare to stay, so he went straight to Hongnong in a panic. Li Dao and Guo Yan could not find the emperor and the ministers in the Duan Xuan camp, so they immediately set up troops to pursue after a short rest.

Hongnong Zhang Ji was at odds with Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, who were escorting, Qingzhou was powerful, and Zhou Yu walked along the river when he retreated, and he did not dare to stop him. For the emperor, he was not so polite, the emperor fled all the way to Hongnong Dongjian, Yang Feng and Dong received the report, Zhang Ji and Chen Bingjian mouth, and behind, Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses had already chased them. Yang Dong and the others both trembled.

Seeing that the army's order had not been issued for a long time, Huangfu Song caught up with the convoy of the secretary of state, and reprimanded sharply: "Second duke, highlight the east stream, and not far ahead are the rope pond and the Han valley. Hangu was garrisoned by a Qingzhou army, which was under the jurisdiction of Luoyang Lu Zhigong. Although Liu Bei is rebellious, we only need to highlight the mouth of the stream and send a small pawn to send a letter to Lu Zhi to inform him of the danger here. Lu Gong is loyal and upright, and he will die to save him. As soon as he moved, Liu Bei couldn't bear to sit back and watch others bully his division, and the strong soldiers would come to continue to support, at that time, Li Dao and Guo Yan were also in trouble, and we were waiting for victory in sight, why did the second duke hesitate? ”

Yang Feng and Dong Cheng suddenly realized: Yes, Lu Zhi has a small army stationed in Luoyang, and strong enemies on all sides dare not harass him, that is because Lu Zhi is Liu Bei's face, and Liu Bei once beat the forbidden army for him. If he ignores Lu Zhi when his power is great, then what he did in front of him is fraud. Liu Bei couldn't afford to lose this person, so the warlords around Luoyang didn't dare to provoke Lu Zhi easily. As long as Lu Zhi comes forward, no matter whether Li Dao and Guo Yan have scruples or not, the conflict between him and Liu Bei is inevitable.

"Where are the tigers and feathers? And force forward, highlighting the mouth of the stream there is hope, death and life lie in this moment, sons, kill out. Yang Feng was encouraged, shouted and rushed towards Zhang Jijun.

Dong Fengyi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the rear team to block Li Dao, Guo Yanjun, General Huangfu, please urge the emperor to move forward." ”
