Chapter 145: Big Event 1
It has been more than a month since Yecheng sent a special envoy to issue the edict, and during this period of time, it can be said that there have been many earth-shattering events. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Let's talk about the major events outside Changshan County first, first of all, Dong Zhuo died, which is the same as the historical account, it is Wang Situ skillfully beautifying the plan, Lu Fengxian was angry and became a red face, and finally the contradiction between the righteous father and son broke out, and the result was that the Xiliang official army (at that time, there were two Xiliang army horses, the leader of the official army was Dong Zhuo, and the leader of the righteous army was Ma Teng and Han Sui) was immediately divided into three factions, one faction surrendered to Lu Fengxian and became the Lu family army; The other faction led by Li Dao and Guo Yan returned to the Xiliang army halfway, and they took advantage of the situation to counterattack Chang'an, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the fire to rob; The third faction is the Dong family led by Dong Zhuo's relatives, and the representative figures are Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law Niu Fu and Li Ru, but these people have been stationed in Shaanxi outside Chang'an, and before they can reflect, the army sent by Wang Yun and Lu Bu to cut the grass and eradicate the roots has already arrived.
The general sent by Lu Bu to kill Niu Fu and others was Li Su, this person was a fellow villager with Lu Bu, relying on the prestige of Lu Fengxian, he thought that he could successfully take Niu Fu, who knew that Niu Fu bottomed out and rebounded, and actually let him escape, but later the son-in-law of the Dong family was not spared, and was assassinated by his cronies Hu Chi'er on the way to escape, and sent his head to Chang'an to receive the reward, as for the other son-in-law of the Dong family in the rumor, Li Ru, his whereabouts are unknown, I don't know whether he is dead or alive, of course, these are all later stories.
Let's talk about the news that Yuan Lang heard now, according to the report of the horse scouts sent by Changshan County, Li Su was shown to the public by Lu Bu after the defeat, and he didn't care about the feelings of his fellow villagers at all.
Chang'an's beacon fire is still burning, but Yuan Lang's eyes are looking to the south, according to the return of the horse report, Cao Cao since the failure of the alliance, is even more powerful, not only replaced the position of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou who was killed by the Yellow Turban Army, and gained actual power, but also incorporated the main force of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that has been entrenched in the land of Yanzhou all the year round, and reorganized it into the Qingzhou Army, and this army will become the main force of Cao Cao's expedition in all directions in the future.
Although the Yellow Turban Army is connected, most of them are in the name of Zhang Jiao, and most of the Yellow Turban Army Yuan Lang, Zhang Yan and others have never even met in person, so although Yuan Lang, the Yellow Turban Army of Yanzhou, is a little resentful of their surrender to Cao Cao, but there is nothing they can do, and they can only stare dryly.
Cao Cao's strength is changing day by day, and Yuan Lang seems to be showing favor to the future Emperor Wu of Wei as soon as possible, otherwise when he finishes his own affairs, the first thing he wants to annex must be the big fat of Jizhou.
Therefore, after Yuan Lang received this news, he immediately sent someone as a special envoy to Cao Cao Rong as the assassin envoy of Yanzhou and sent a congratulatory gift and a friendly letter to this powerful neighbor.
Looking further south, Yuan Lang heard the most sad thing for him, that is, Sun Jian, who coveted the jade seal, failed to escape his doom, and was finally killed by Liu Biao, who had premeditated in the waters of Jingzhou.
And Sun Jian's subordinates were cast into the account of Shouchun Yuan Shu under the leadership of his Sun Sun Ce, which can also be said to be a desperate end of the road, and he had to do it as a last resort.
Speaking of Yuan Shu, Yuan Lang had to think of this person's treachery, to be honest, Sun Ce was forced by him to join Yuan Shu, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian recommended by Yuan Shu as the general of the captivity, probably because of this fate, so after Sun Jian's death, most of his subordinates were incorporated by Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce wanted to go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao for revenge after the end of his filial piety, but his father's generals were all in Yuan Shu, so Sun Ce had no choice but to go to Shouchun himself, looking forward to the day when Yuan Shu could return his father's trilogy to him with great mercy, but it backfired, Yuan Shu said it well, and then he just didn't give it to people, until Sun Ce used the jade seal as collateral, which brought the Sun family's tribe out of Shouchun, which made Sun Ce, the "little overlord of Jiangdong" in the future.
Yuan Lang looked at the stacks of Tanma intelligence on his desk and fell into deep thought, this era has not been deflected on the trajectory because of his arrival, it seems that conforming to history is a fact that he must follow, no one, no force can change.
Yuan Lang rubbed his high temples, he was not in the mood to pay attention to other events outside of Changshan County now, because his own side was already busy now.
In the past month, Yuan Lang has implemented several major projects in Changshan County, first of all, he has carried out the census that he has long wanted to get, which is okay if he does not check, and when he checks it down, he suddenly found that the number of people is seriously inaccurate with the records of the county guard in the register, and there are concealments and false reports in various places, the previous population is the whole county, including the soldiers, the foreign population, the people who have left their hometowns, the birth, the old, the sick and the dead, the Tianding, etc., a total of more than 230,000, but now there are nearly 250,000 after checking, and it is 20,000 people on the surface. However, the number of people who have decreased sharply in recent years due to the war is still increasing, so this is at least an error of 50,000, which cannot but be said to be an astronomical amount.
Yuan Lang was not afraid of a large number of people, but he was afraid that there would be many people who were lazy and had nothing to do and no land to cultivate, so Yuan Lang immediately ordered that the migrant population be scattered and resettled in various local villages, give them fields, and assist them in building houses to rebuild the local villages that had been shattered by the war.
After this matter was arranged, Yuan Lang did a big screening of the number of military members, and cleared the dead, airborne, and elderly people from the military register, of course, the corresponding subsidy silver taels, which could not cut off the source of income of the family or their families, and also distributed farm tools and farmland if their physical strength permitted, so that they could retire from the army and return to the field and be self-sufficient.
There are fewer sergeants, of course, you have to recruit soldiers, Yuan Lang is relatively low-key in this matter, because Yecheng has been keeping an eye on himself recently, and recruiting soldiers is particularly sensitive, he still carefully placed the recruitment category within the jurisdiction of Changshan County, like Yuan Shao, who blatantly recruited soldiers from the whole state, he can be regarded as low-key and can no longer be low-key.
But the result is still gratifying, Yuan Lang's military horses still have more than 10,000 people in a month, some of them are temporarily living in the county, young adults who fled from outside, and some are aborigines in the county, they heard that Yuan Lang's military salary was given more and given in time, so they all rushed to come, which had to surprise Yuan Lang.
"General, the number of military members has been counted, a total of 40,786 people, including 56 generals above the intermediate level......"
Now it is Zhen Yan who is reporting to Yuan Lang, he is also here to participate in the recruitment this time, when Yuan Lang first saw him, he had been in the recruit camp for half a month, his skin was dark and dark, Yuan Lang hadn't seen it at a glance, if it wasn't for Zhang Yan's introduction, Yuan Lang would have really missed this talent.
Zhen Yan's family education origins, is a rare literati, let him go to the army is really a tyrannical thing, so Yuan Lang arranged him to join the army by his side, which is equivalent to his own secretary, Zhang Yan joked with himself a lot, saying that the treatment of the eldest brother is a different joke, Yuan Lang can only not explain this, you know, he has never stepped into the door of the Zhen family since he went that night, why be afraid of these rumors.
