Chapter 220: A Shaking Decree
There were still 5,000 defenders in Guling City, and Yang Xi ordered people to persuade them to surrender. In the face of tens of thousands of people, as well as large killing weapons, the defenders in the city were all broken, how dare they resist.
Besides, even if you want to resist, you have to have a city, and now that the city has been broken, there is no danger to defend.
killed He Qi and Zhang Xiu, Yang Xi really became a god of murder this time.
This embroidery is the king of the spear in the north, and the god of killing in the south killed the god of the spear in the north, this is too high-profile.
Even if there is no Huang Zhong's arrow, Yang Xi is confident that he can kill Zhang Xiu within fifty heels, but then the loss will be great, and every minute that passes, people will die.
After winning Guling City, Yang Xi did not stop and directly led the army to kill Shangyu City.
Shangyu City County Magistrate Yu Turn, but he is a full literati, although he has also learned the six arts, but the force is not high, he is counting on only the general Dong Xi.
Dong Xi received a report from the spies, saying that Yang Xi had killed Zhang Xiu and He Qi and attacked the city, and he was also shocked, but he was very confident, thinking that he was the first in martial arts and was ready to defend the city.
With 5,000 men and horses, Yang Xidu led more than 20,000 people to attack, which was very face-saving.
First persuade to surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will start firing artillery.
After three rounds, Dong attacked and discussed with Yu Turn, Yu Raid suggested that it be lowered, but Dong Raid had no move, so he had to descend too, and if he didn't fall, he would die.
Yang Xi ordered all the officials of the two places to be sent to Shangyu Port for training, and then ordered Huang Zhong to lead 12,000 people from his headquarters north to Wu County, and marched only to Guangling, in order to prevent Cao Cao from launching an attack in a fit of anger.
As for the Xu Hu Army, it led the Second Artillery Battalion all the way to various county towns, and those who should be collected were collected, and those who resisted were bombarded, and there was no resistance force, and the hundreds of county soldiers in one county were basically a piece of cake.
Cao Cao received a letter from Yang Xi attacking Zhang Xiu, furious, and prepared to raise troops, but Xun Yu said: "If the prime minister starts a war with Yang Xi at this time, it is equivalent to giving up Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. β
Guo Jia said: "I don't want this Yang Xi to be so unreasonable, but he just changed to a Taishou, and he didn't touch any interests in the two ports of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, but he led troops to attack." However, Zhang Xiu has a lot of people, with a total of 20,000 troops, and Zhang Xiu is not easy to follow, Yang Xi's move should be just a demonstration. β
Jia Xu said: "Zhang Xiu is the king of guns in the north, he has led the army for many years, and his strength is not under Yang Xi, so it is expected that there will be no big problem." β
So Cao Cao was relieved.
Within three days, the battle report came, and Cao Cao opened it and looked at it, his face was pale.
This time, everyone didn't say anything.
Zhang Xiu was killed, most of the army was captured, Huiji had belonged to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, Yang Xi sent someone to officially receive it, and all the officials and surrenderers were all pulled to training.
After the Battle of Wuling in Jingzhou and the Battle of Huiji in Yangzhou, Yang Xi officially showed his fangs, and he was not afraid to let the world see his fangs.
These two battles are announced, my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is here, and it is really here.
Sun Quan didn't dare to move, Liu Biao didn't have the strength to move, Cao Cao was not suitable to move, and everyone found out that all of this was caused by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce secretly over the years.
After the meeting, Yang Xi went north to Wu County to inspect the construction of Zhuge Jin's Shanghai City.
Although the population is only 20,000 or 30,000 at this time, if it is stable, it will become the center of the world in a few decades.
The governor of Huiji County, Yang Xi transferred Chen Gong, this person has been studying for so long, and it is time to come in handy.
In June, Yang Xi returned to the Chenhe County Citizen Center, and Kan Ze sent a report that the construction of banks in various places was almost completed, and a lot of coins had been minted.
The people of the county can use the old copper coins and silver taels to exchange coins at the bank, and this promotion will be completed in less than a year or two.
Yang Xi didn't think about it, now that the basic technology has been basically completed, even the banks have promoted it, gunpowder and hot air balloons have also appeared, why hasn't his own technology tree and the middle level been opened?
Yang Xi was puzzled.
"Politics, economy, culture, science and technology, is there anything that has not been completed?"
"By the way, politics, does it have to be upgraded to a capitalist regime? This is troublesome, and now in this situation, wars everywhere, if I escalate directly, the resistance is too strong, not to mention, it will be really troublesome when the time comes. β
"It seems that we can only take it step by step, starting from the bottom."
Now it is basically Yang Xi's dictatorship, Yang Xi has the final say, it is Yang Xi's decision, and from now on, it will slowly change step by step.
In mid-June, Yang Xi personally ordered that July 15 was set as the election day for the lieutenant chief, and July 25 as the election day for the pavilion chief.
All the chiefs and pavilion chiefs can nominate themselves, and each family can run to clarify the direction of their development for the city and the pavilion, and pull votes.
At the same time, however, Yang Xi ordered the heads of townships and townships to be responsible for the election supervision of their respective jurisdictions, and if they found that they had given or received money or goods, they would all be punished with bribes.
The term of office of the chief and the pavilion chief is changed every two years, and they will be re-elected when they expire.
This decree will be like a bomb, and the smoke screen will be foggy everywhere.
There are very few ignorant people in the counties now, or at least they can understand what is going on, so everyone is excited.
Yang Xi wants to start from the bottom, build voter consciousness layer by layer, and write this decree into it.
In the north, Cao Cao because of the turmoil, the school is much abandoned, and the future generations do not see the wind of benevolence, righteousness and courtesy, so he ordered the county to cultivate the school, and the county is full of 500 households, that is, the school officials are placed, and the talents in the township are selected to teach.
Because Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's advice and was ready to sit back and wait for the civil strife of the Yuan family brothers, Cao Cao's army and horses were idle, so Cao Cao was naturally unhappy. In autumn, in August, Cao Cao attacked Liu Biao, and the army was stationed in Xiping.
Liu Biao wrote a letter to persuade Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, telling his brother to reconcile, but the two did not listen, and Yuan Shang continued to attack.
Yuan Tan could not resist the onslaught of his brother Yuan Shang, trapped in the plain, and sent his adviser Xin Bi to beg Cao Cao to surrender.
Cao Cao led his army to save the plains in October. Yuan Shang heard the news and withdrew the siege and returned to Ye.
When Yuan Shangbu surrendered LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang, Cao Cao. Yuan Tan secretly engraved the general's seal to Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to envelop them. Cao Cao knew that Yuan Tan did not surrender sincerely, so he pretended not to know, but he married Yuan Tan's daughter for his twentieth son Cao Quan, comforted Yuan Tan, and then led the army to return the promise.
The world of feudal families is like this, obviously Yuan Tan has surrendered, but his family used to have a prestige, no matter which camp he went to, there were still people who spoke.
Why, because his ancestors were officials of the imperial court, the official positions at this time are all recommended, a big official, I don't know how many talents have been promoted, dozens of hundreds of years, the people who have been recommended have also become families, and their descendants will definitely have some unwritten agreements or private support.
In order to stabilize Yuan Tan, Cao Cao did not dare to kill lightly, so he had to marry to stabilize for a period of time, and when the time was ripe, he would attack and kill.
