The strange Queen Mother actually brought out two adulterers!

Fortunately, I was not called.

Liu Mang thought about it and felt afraid.

……

Zhang Juzheng, returned to Luoyang.

Since he defected to Liu Mang, he was entrusted with the important task of clearing the field. For nearly 10 months, Zhang Juzheng has been in the state, and this is the first time he has returned to Beijing to report on his work.

In the past year, Zhang Juzheng mainly traveled around Taiyuan County.

Qingzhang land has the greatest impact on the family.

Taiyuan County is the rear of the country, and it is the place where the big families are intertwined, and it is the most difficult.

Zhang Juzheng started from the most difficult point, as long as the problem of Taiyuan fields is solved, all localities will follow suit, and the initial results will be achieved in three years, and the goal of becoming a prescribed system in five years can be achieved.

In the past ten months, Zhang Juzheng has not only clearly measured the fields in Taiyuan, but also preliminarily formulated a plan for the reform of the field tax.

This time I returned to Beijing to ask Liu Mang for instructions in person, and to prepare to take the lead in Taiyuan to try out the new tax system.

The new tax system touches the most is the interests of the family.

Taiyuan has the most families, and the resistance is naturally great. However, if we cross the difficulty of Taiyuan, there will be no more obstacles in other places.

Although the strength of the family is strong, it is only relative.

Sili and Zhou, under the rule of Liu Mang, are thriving. Liu Mang's prestige is like the sky.

And the prominent families of Sili and Bingzhou have both cooperative relations and conflicts of interest with Liu Mang.

As for cooperation or conflict, in the end, it is strength that plays a decisive role!

Liu Mang and the family are like the two ends of a seesaw, one is strong, and the other is weak.

Liu Mang had just defeated Yuan Shao, the first prince in the world, and Yuan Benchu was in the limelight. Speaking at this time, the family didn't dare not look at Liu Mang's face. It is the right time to try out the new tax system in Taiyuan.

According to the previous plan, the new tax system will be introduced on a trial basis, when it will be six months or even a year later. Zhang Juzheng suggested that it should be tried in advance, just to see the opportunity and want to use Liu Mang to defeat Yuan Shao's strong wind.

Zhang Juzheng is not only capable, but also has a strong political sense, and he is indeed a great talent.

Liu Mang agreed with Zhang Juzheng's idea.

Appointed Taiyuan County Shou Jingxiang to fully assist in the trial introduction of a new tax system throughout Taiyuan County.

Jing Xiang is soft and resourceful, and Zhang Juzheng is just able to break.

Jing Xiang is calm and conservative, Zhang Juzheng is aggressive, this reform duo is comparable to "Fang Mou Du Xuan"!

However, Liu Mang is still not very reassured.

After all, the reform of land taxation is too much involved.

This is the change! The slightest carelessness can provoke public resentment at least and may lead to riots at worst. Throughout the ages, there have been many examples of disasters caused by changes in the law.

Shang Ying, changed the law to strengthen Qin, and finally suffered from the car split, now it seems that it is distressing. But at that time, the resistance to change was too great, and those in power had to compromise with the aristocracy, and Shang Ying became a scapegoat.

The current situation is not much better than when Shang Ying changed the law.

Liu Mang hopes that the reform will succeed, but he does not want to leave sequelae, and he does not want Zhang Juzheng to become a scapegoat like Shang Ying.

In order to prevent accidents, while appointing Zhang Juzheng to carry out the reform on a trial basis in Taiyuan, Liu Mang appointed Fang Xuanling as the inspector of Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Hedong counties, and Jia Kui as the inspector of Yin, Hongnong, and Hanoi in Henan to evaluate county-level officials in various places.

These counties are the key areas of economic development under Liu Mang's rule.

It is normal to assess the administration of officials in various localities.

Liu Mang also has another purpose, to let Fang Xuanling keep an eye on the progress of Taiyuan's tax reform.

This is not because of worrying about Zhang Juzheng and Jingxiang, but because of what happens.

Reform is of great importance, and the slightest carelessness will affect the overall situation, and risks must be minimized.

Fang Xuanling was born in a family and was easy to contact with the Taiyuan family. While inspecting officials, keep abreast of the Maison's reaction to the tax reform and report at any time.

Once there is an abnormality, timely coordination and handling can help Zhang Juzheng.

……

Liu Mang praised the meritorious heroes of the First World War.

Xu Huang, in the First World War of the country, commanded and dispatched well, and brilliantly completed the role of attracting and containing the enemy. From the general of Shangdang, he was promoted to the general of Dongzhou and Zhou, succeeded Li Xiucheng, and was stationed in Jingcheng.

Chen Yucheng, fight to the death, the first meritorious general! He was promoted to the rank of deputy general of the party.

Hao Zhao, stick to Wolf Meng. From the captain of Yangqu, he was promoted to the captain of Jingcheng.

The rest of the meritorious generals, from Su Dingfang Xu Da and below, also have titles, food, money, and silk rewards.

At the same time, Liu Mang instructed Su Dingfang Xu Da to adjust the deployment of defenses in various places.

The goal of the adjustment is in line with the next strategy, which is to strengthen the defense of Jizhou. The focus of the strategic offensive was shifted to Yuan Shu's Yuzhou.

The specific arrangements are as follows:

Su Dingfang, temporarily sitting in Yangqu, commanded the defense of Jingcheng.

Xu Da, sitting in Huojia, commanded the defense of Jizhou in the east.

Tan Daoji, stationed in Dangyin, stationed at the front of Jizhou in the east.

The eastern part of Hanoi was recovered, and the pressure on the first-line defense of Henan Yin to the north was suddenly reduced. The focus of Henan's defense became the eastern and southern regions.

Luoyang General Cheng Biting Jin, still sitting in Luoyang, responsible for the defense of the capital.

Fu Youde stationed in Guancheng (now Zhengzhou) to lead the defense of eastern Yin in Henan, and controlled the Yuanwu, Yangwu, Zhongmu, Kaifeng, Yuanling, and Xinzheng regions.

In the eight passes of Luoyang, Hangu, Xiaopingjin, Mengjin, and Hugao Pass (i.e., Xuanmen Pass, Chenggao Pass) in the west, north, and northeast directions have no worries about harassment.

Except for the Hangu Pass, which connects the east and west, which still needs to be defended, the rest of the passes are only arranged for daily defense.

……

In the south of Henan, Kaifeng, Xinzheng and Yuyuanguan are the junction of Henan and Yingchuan in Yuzhou. It is not only an important place for the southern defense of Yuanshu, but also an outpost for the future attack on Yingchuan.

As for the candidates to be stationed in the three places, Liu Mang and his staff members had a lot of thoughts.

Liu Mang's recent strategic focus has quietly shifted to Yuzhou, where Yuan Shu is entrenched in the south.

In order not to attract Yuan Shu's attention, the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu in the south did not increase. And the generals who command the army cannot attract attention.

After repeated consideration, he ordered Chang Yuchun, the captain of Luoyang Baguan, Sima Wang Zhonghe, and Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who had just joined the service, to lead one part and stationed them in Yuyuanguan, Xinzheng, and Kaifeng.

These three generals are not high in prestige and popularity in the army, and it is easier to paralyze the enemy.

And Liu Mang is full of confidence in the ability of the three.

Arrange for them to be stationed in the south of Henan, so that they can have more opportunities to understand the situation of the enemy in Yuzhou, and prepare for the next step of conquest of Yuan Shu.

……

Liu Mang's strategic focus has quietly shifted.

Before that, Qin Qiong and others, who had been sent to Yuzhou, successfully entered Yingchuan and launched separate operations.

Qin Qiong ordered Agui to rush to Shouchun, Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, where the puppet imperial court was located.

Qin Qiong and Shi A went east, first to understand the situation in the northeast of Yingchuan and the area of Yanzhou Chenliu and Yuzhou Chenguo.

Yuan Shu is not a wine bag and a rice bag.

Yuan Shu was in the northern part of Yingchuan, connecting five cities in series to form a strong defense line like an iron cable.

From west to east, they are Lunshi, Yangcheng, Yangzhai, Changshe, and Yanling.

This line of defense is well deployed. Yangzhai City is in the center, taking care of the east and west.

In order to prevent the people of Yingchuan County from contacting Luoyang, all the people in the villages of Huangju, Yixiang, and Yangguan in the defense system were forcibly relocated to the interior of Yuzhou and Shouchun.

The people were forced to leave their homes and suffered unspeakably.

Qin Qiong and Shi A came to the junction of Yuyan.

The enemy's tight defense surprised Qin Qiong. If you force an attack from this area, it will be a fierce battle with heavy casualties! (To be continued.) )
