Chapter 26: The Son of Heaven
Zhang Min took Tai Shici and Chen Qun, two accomplices, and began a sweep, starting from Pengcheng County from the spring of 194 AD to the spring of 195 AD, passing through Xiapi County, Guangling County, Donghai County, Langxie County along the way, and finally returning to Pengcheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
In the second year of coming to Dahan, Zhang Min did two things, the first was to drive away Cao Cao, who invaded Xuzhou, and the second was to clean up the portal!
The whole Xuzhou family and landlords are strong, and all those who have lives in their hands have been raided and criticized, and the men were escorted to Tuntian to build roads, and the women were responsible for raising silkworms and weaving; All the common people who brought disaster to the township were confiscated and their domestic servants were dismissed; Those who have a good reputation and are willing to give charity will be given a plaque promising protection.
Under the three whatevers, the entire Xuzhou is light.
"My lord's approach is really!" Chen Qun looked at Zhang Min who was gobbling up, he had a headache, the whole Han world is composed of countless wealthy families, Zhang Min almost offended them all in this way, but looking at the happy people in the entire Xuzhou territory, Chen Qun didn't know how to choose, and he didn't understand whether Zhang Min was right or wrong to do this.
"Changwen, what do you want, come and eat together!"
Zhang Min shouted to Chen Qun from afar, and he was happy that he had finally completed something he was willing to do.
He thought clearly, as a thorn thief born in the history of the Yellow Turban, which of the entire families in Xuzhou really looks up to himself! Including Mi Zhu and Chen Deng!
If they want to compete for the world with the power of their family, if they can't catch it, they simply push themselves to the front and be the first bird. If they can succeed, they are heroes, and even if they fail, they can change someone to assist.
Zhang Min simply started to play single! Instead of worrying about these families making trouble behind their backs at that time, it is better to clean up the people who can clean up when they are in power, and have a happy life!
This was not his original intention, he originally just wanted to fight for one or two acres of land for the people who defected to him, but then it was out of control, because every time he investigated and dealt with a wealthy family, he could take out a lot of heinous evil deeds.
This time, if it weren't for Mi Zhu and Chen Deng's quick opportunity to take the initiative to donate their fields, and their family is decent, it is estimated that Zhang Min would not let it go.
The four major families in Xuzhou copied a Cao family, and the grain and grass alone were enough for Cao Cao's 40,000 troops for half a month, and there was also countless money and cloth, and the other two families must not be less, so that Zhang Min, who copied the family, was itchy!
"The Lord's means are really!" Tai Shici didn't say anything halfway through, and originally felt that Zhang Min was a little hesitant to do things, not like doing big things, but this year he was running around, but he couldn't help but be impressed.
"Haha, are you praising me or hurting me?" Zhang Min smiled, "I didn't have time to thank you on the way, now I solemnly thank you, if it weren't for your Tai Shi Ci, I, Zhang Mengxuan, would have been killed countless times!" β
Zhang Min's words are not false, thinking that the heroic Jiangdong little overlord Sun Ce, when he swept Jiangdong, only incidentally exterminated a few disobedient families, and was later killed by the doorman of one of the families.
He is still alive and well, indeed thanks to Tai Shici's alertness along the way.
"Here, eat a piece of meat!" Zhang Min picked up a piece of fat and threw it into Tai Shici's bowl, "If you have a bite of my food to eat in the future, you will be indispensable!" β
"Lord, Zhen Taishou and Luo Junshi are here!" Chen Qun made an announcement at the door.
"I haven't seen you for a year, how can you be divided, let's come in!" Zhang Min returned to Pengcheng all the way back to Pengcheng after the incident in Langxie County, and Mi Zhen and Zhen Luo also got the news. β¦,
"The lord is at ease!" Mi Zhen looked at Zhang Min's high-spirited appearance, and somehow, she suddenly became angry in her heart.
"Haha, sit down, I'll let you get some more wine and food, and since we're all here, let's eat some together."
"Just come over and see if you're dead, since you're not dead, we'll go back!" Mi Zhen didn't appreciate it, turned around and was about to leave, in Pengcheng, I often heard that Lord Assassin Shi was assassinated there, and I couldn't remember it in my heart, when I met him today, I saw his high-spirited appearance, and at the same time, I was a little unhappy somehow.
Zhen Luo covered his mouth and smiled beside him, looking at Mi Zhen and Zhang Min's vindictiveness with a calm demeanor, but it was a different flavor.
"Don't go, sit down first, you have to tell me what's going on?" Zhang Min put down the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, stood up, and asked Mi Zhen to sit down.
Tai Shici looked at the place where Zhang Min's hands had touched by the side, and felt distressed! The clothes were made by his mother with stitches and threads, seeing Zhang Min's dirty hands wiped and wiped on them, the clothes were no longer the same, his eyelids jumped and jumped, and finally couldn't help but stand up, "Lord, I'll go home to visit Eminem first, I haven't seen him for a year, I miss it so much!" β
"Go, go, give you three days off! Remember to come to me in three days! β
When Chen Qun saw Tai Shici leaving, he also found a reason, saying that he missed his young son at home, asked Zhang Min for three days off, and then left.
"Why do you go all the way?" Zhang Min muttered and looked back at Mi Zhen, "How is this time?" Is there anything big going on? β
"Everything is fine, that is, at the end of last autumn, there was a locust plague in Shandong, and when the two armies fought, the people of Yanzhou fled to our Xuzhou, and most of the land money and grain you collected have been distributed to them, and the rest are used as official fields, which are being guarded by those you arrested, in addition, there are some young people who want to join the army, and they are about to ask if you want to expand the army?"
"What do you think, Master Luo?" Zhang Min threw the question to Zhen Luo, who was snickering next to him.
"Then it depends on what you plan to do, general, if there is action in the past two years, recruit one to twenty thousand people as a reserve army, if you plan to stay in Xuzhou, there is no need to expand the army and horses, at present, we have 50,000 long-trained soldiers in Pengcheng, which is enough to protect the territory and the people!"
"Then recruit another 20,000 people!"
"Oh, my lord, do you want to do it?" Zhen Luo became excited.
"Yes, now that the interior is settled, it's time to move." Zhang Min nodded, "Zhen Taishou, do we have enough money and food to fight a battle of 30,000 people for two to three months?" β
"You have to think about it, without the permission of the imperial court, bringing a large army into other states and counties without permission, it will be a loss in name, even if you defeat it, if you don't have an explanation, you can't gain a foothold, and it is very likely to cause a siege."
"That's it!" Zhang Min frowned, "Then why did Yuan Shao just defend the Bohai Sea at the beginning, but now he occupies the land of Sanzhou and is still attacking Youzhou; And Cao Cao, who was the Taishou of Dongjun, led his men and horses to Yanzhou, and no one stood up to say that he was wrong? Even now that Lu Bu led his men and horses to Yanzhou, he didn't see anyone to help Cao Cao encircle and suppress him? β
"Yuan Shao's three states all have origins, and the names of the fourth and third dukes of their Yuan family are not blind!" Mi Zhen was helpless, and explained next to him: "Yuan Shao's entry into Jizhou was invited by Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou at that time, just like Tao Envoy Jun gave Xuzhou to you; Cao Cao took Yanzhou because of the invasion of millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was killed in battle, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, sent someone to invite him; As for LΓΌ Bu's fight for Yanzhou, it was because Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and invited Cao Cao to enter Yanzhou when he invaded our Xuzhou. β
"My sister is right, if the lord wants to use troops, he really needs righteousness." Zhen Luo took Mi Zhen's words and said: "Just like Cao Cao invaded my Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father, if you want to lead troops to attack Yanzhou, it is reasonable to say, just claim that Cao Cao slaughtered the people of Xuzhou, and now raise troops to take revenge!" ββ¦,
"If you don't go to Yanzhou, if you go, you're going to get into trouble!" Zhang Min shook his head.
"Does the lord want to go here?" Zhen Luo pointed his finger to the west.
"That's right!"
"If it's here, I have a name, and the word 'bandit' is enough!" Zhen Luo hesitated: "It's just that the reason is not sufficient, if the bandits are all exterminated, the lord you can only return, and then you may not be able to get any benefits." β
"I just want to pass through here, I'm going further west!"
"Further west?" Zhen Luo thought about it and was suddenly startled, "Are you going to Sili and Chang'an?" What are you going to do there? β
"Didn't you just say that you have to be righteous in everything you do? I'm going to take the righteousness and put it by my side, so that I can hit whoever I want in the future! Zhang Min smiled, Xuzhou's one-year clean-up has made him see enough of the ugliest things in the world, but he has matured a lot, since he has embarked on this road, he can only die again if he takes a step back, it is better to use the prophetic prescience to have a good fight with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, even if he fails, he will live a wonderful life, right?
"You want to rob the emperor to our Xuzhou?" Zhen Luo looked at him with wide eyes.
"It's not 'robbery', it's 'pick-up'! I'm going to take the Son of Heaven to our Xuzhou! Zhang Min waved his fist, "Now the whole Si Li is in a mess, Li Xuan, Guo Yan and others are fighting for the emperor and ministers, and Cao Cao is busy fighting with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao is also fighting with Gongsun Zhan in Youzhou, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao over there are still staring at each other, they can't take care of us, if we miss this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!" β
"However, even if you succeed in bringing the emperor back to Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to show your skills!" Mi Zhen was puzzled: "Not to mention that the authority of the Son of Heaven is no longer there, even if he gives orders, no one may be willing to listen." If we take it back, it will make us uncomfortable, there must be many ministers who come with the emperor, these people are big people such as the three princes and nine kings at every turn, and the general, although you lead the history of Xuzhou Thorn, but you are only the general of Anbei of the five products, placed in the court, can only stand at the end, at that time, don't you move a stone and hit your own feet? β
