Volume 2 Li Guang is difficult to seal Chapter 32 Spring ploughing goes to the river
Li Guang's 5,000 soldiers regained Hejian, which once again shook the government and the opposition, and also made Liu Heng's throne more stable. The sniper battalion was named the title of Li Jiajun, and it was as famous as Yanyun's eighteen cavalry. Zhou Bo paid homage to the prime minister again, and the first twist was to ask Liu Heng to take back the power of the sniper battalion to command the troops, and at the same time ask the imperial court to send heavy troops to garrison the river.
"Your Majesty, Hejian is the throat of the Xiongnu south, there is no room for loss, although Li Duwei won a temporary victory and recaptured Hejian, but it is inevitable that the Xiongnu will not recapture it again. The adjustable sniper battalion returned to Chang'an to garrison, and the heavy crossbow battalion Yellow Bow Battalion was stationed in the river. ”
"Hejian was originally developed by Li Guang, and if he wants to change the Yellow Bow Battalion to garrison the Yellow Bow Battalion, I am afraid that he will be criticized."
"Longxi will have few soldiers, and then divide heavy troops to guard the river, it is not a good thing, I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
"At this time, we will discuss it later, and today in the court, we will discuss the matter of immigration between the rivers for the time being."
Zhou Bo was born as a military general, and Liu Heng wanted to discuss Hejian immigration, so Zhou Bo stopped talking. Only Zhang Cang, who has been to the river between Liu Heng, has the most ideas about this matter.
"The area between the rivers is gentle, surrounded by water, and there is a blueprint for a new water system, which is enough to support 100,000 people. But if there are too many troops stationed in the river, it can only be used to lock the throat of the Xiongnu south. The minister believes that if the sniper battalion continues to be garrisoned, assisted by the new army of the Chinese capital, he will not only be able to hold the river, but also make the river a granary of the Han Dynasty again. ”
Zhang Cang's words were unanimously agreed by the courtiers, and at the same time, they also spoke of Liu Heng's heart. For Li Guang, Liu Heng did not have a trace of doubt, if Li Guang wanted to support his own army, he could splash the water created in the river as early as when he had not yet ascended the throne, why wait until today? The rise of Li Guang made many important ministers of the court feel threatened.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Heng looked for Dou Yifang to relieve his boredom, Liu Heng knew that although Dou Yifang had no ambitions, Dou Yifang's wisdom was far from being able to be summed up by the word virtuous. Dou Yifang is indisputable, Liu Heng dares to rest assured to hand over the world to his son Qi, and young Dou Guangguo does not fight, Liu Heng dares to rest assured to hand over Qi to Dou Guangguo to assist.
"I know Li Guang's thoughts, just like Yifang and Shaojun, Gu supports me from the bottom of his heart, that is, there are great interests in front of me, if it is in the way of me, I will not be willing to take a look. However, all the ministers of the court were afraid of their scruples, lest I weaken their power. Returning Hejian to Li Guang's jurisdiction is afraid that there will be a dispute above the court. ”
"Let them fight, the ministers in the court have always been like this, even if there is no Li Guang, they will find a reason, you fight for me without stopping for a moment, so it's okay, lest they force Your Majesty to do this and that."
"It's time for them to fight well, and I'm good to find some clues from it, this courtier, it's not easy to get it."
"But there are courtiers who make it difficult for the emperor?"
"When Zhou Bo was in the court today, he asked me to take back the command of the sniper battalion, but sent the heavy crossbow battalion and the yellow bow battalion to guard the river, didn't this make me and Li Guang feel guilty? Don't talk about this, Yifang rubbed me, my shoulder has been hurting since I got up early today. ”
Liu Heng lay on the lap of Dou Yifang, drowsy, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace retreated to the outside of the hall with interest, leaving Liu Heng a rare moment of peace, but this peace did not last long and was disturbed by the horn of the northern Huns.
The Bank of China said that one of the biggest variables during the Han-Hungarian war, at the critical moment, reorganized the troops of Ji Congee, although the Xiongnu did not have too many iron weapons, but more leather armor and leather shields. Before the defense of the river war was built, Ji Congee led 100,000 elite soldiers to cover and kill. Although the leather armor and leather shield could not block all the crossbow arrows, but a large area resisted the coverage of the arrow rain, in order to avoid casualties among the sniper battalion and the new army, Xu Ping had to retreat to Longxi.
"Young master, although the sniper battalion is sharp, it can't resist the tidal wave of attacks of the Huns, and the Huns' piso even blocks the repeated charges of the new army."
"If you can get along with this way, it must be the Bank of China that says, for the time being, cultivate the army, and let me think about breaking the enemy's plan again."
The gains and losses of the river made Chang'an stunned, and the princes and princes were discussing how to get a piece of the pie in the river, but before the emperor agreed, the news of the fall of the river came.
"Shaojun, I really feel very tired. You are the only one around you who can share my worries, if Li Guang is also willing to come to Chang'an, I should save a lot of thoughts. ”
"It is far more appropriate for Lieutenant Li to stay in Longxi than to stay with His Majesty."
"Salt and iron are not prosperous, the Han Dynasty is not prosperous, and the vassal kings everywhere are restricting my plans, if our Han army is equipped with steel heavy crossbows, why not be afraid of the Hun army."
"Zhou Boju is in the phase, and he can't share government affairs for His Majesty, so he should make plans as soon as possible."
"What Shaojun said is very true, I have long planned to order Zhang Cang to be the left minister, Zhou Bo, it's okay to fight, and to govern the people of the world, it is far inferior to Chen Ping."
In 176 BC, Zhou Bo was sent to the fiefdom, and Zhang Cang officially assumed the post of Zuo Xiang. Zhang Cang served as the left minister, and Dou Guangguo's reform of the previous dynasty's code finally made a breakthrough, and the reform of the code broke the pattern of disobedience of the vassal kings in various places.
Dou Guangguo first sorted out the legal code that followed, and Liu Heng personally granted each county the sixteen square seals, clarified the rights and interests of each county, and redefined the private soldiers of the feudal kings in various places.
There is a court code, harvested every year, and it is fed back to Chang'an in detail, Liu Heng has seen it, and Fang has arrived, the Han Dynasty is not weak in national strength, but in fact, the vassal kings in various places have profited too much from it, resulting in an empty treasury. From this moment on, Liu Heng was even more eager to cut down the feudal domain as soon as possible and increase the weight of the imperial court.
"Hejian gains and losses, all because Hejian has few soldiers and cannot resist the Xiongnu army. Thousands of miles to the north of the desert, the imperial court divided troops to guard, but it was difficult to draw out excess troops and garrison the river. Ladies and gentlemen, how to decide on the matter between the rivers is a matter of discussion. ”
"Your Majesty, to recover the river, our dynasty is short of troops, and the current edict is to recruit soldiers, and crown men, and serve in the military first, in order to relieve the lack of soldiers in the imperial court."
"I have less than 20 million people, and less than 4 million young and strong people, if they are all recruited as soldiers, who will cultivate the land of the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Heng's question made the Manchu civil and military speechless. Although Zhang Cang didn't know Liu Heng's thoughts, he also thought that this conscription was really inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, when the previous Hejian was recovered, many vassal kings asked for their lives, and they were willing to send troops to garrison Hejian to share your Majesty's worries.
"Who are the vassal kings who are willing to share my worries?"
"The six vassal kings led by Chu, Jing, Wu, Yan, Qi, and Zhao are all willing to send 50,000 elite soldiers, and the rest of the vassal kings in various places are more or less."
"Okay, it is worthy of my own family, I agreed, but there is no need for the kings to work hard, Chu, Jing, Wu, Yan, Qi, Zhao, each sent 20,000 elite soldiers."
This is a God-given opportunity to cut the domain, how could Liu Heng miss it? The vassal kings in various places suffered a dark loss, but they couldn't do it, so they could only select the old and weak soldiers from the private army to deal with it. Liu Heng didn't care at all, but took this opportunity to give a big reward, and the princes and heirs of the six kingdoms of Chu, Jing, Wu, Yan, Qi, and Zhao were all crowned marquis, but the food was cut from their respective fiefdoms.
Since Liu Heng ascended the throne, he finally began to take the vassal kings from all over the country, and the monarchs and ministers within the Han Dynasty were in peace, and there was a secret oozing murderous intention.
Written by Dou Guangguo, he wrote a letter to Li Guang on behalf of Liu Heng, with only one meaning, 120,000 old and weak soldiers are about to leave for Longxi in the near future, and Li Guang has full authority to decide how to deal with it. As long as Liu Heng is in the spring ploughing, he will move to the river, and it will be less than two months away from the spring ploughing season in the north, Liu Heng's request, how to realize Li Guang's request, even Dou Guangguo is also a sweat for Li Guang.
