Chapter 32: Returning Home
Yang Lang said a lot to Yang Ci that night, especially instigating Yang Ci to set up a parliament above the hundred officials and establish the concept of a constitution to restrain the king's behavior. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This action can be carried out after Yuan Valve takes office, or it can be carried out now, no matter what, it is beneficial to everyone.
Since ancient times, Mencius has a saying: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world."
For the family, there is actually another layer of meaning: before reaching that level, then develop on the basis of their own family interests; But the family has developed to a certain extent, so it is time to become the emperor.
Throughout the history of China, there is nothing more than this. The families that are too sharp are always unconsciously pushed to the position by other families in the end, such as the Yuan valve of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Sima valve of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
In other words, in China, excluding the special circumstances of a few dynasties, the emperor was basically forced to be. It is true that being the emperor can gain greater authority, but if the development of the family cannot be stopped, then it will eventually end up changing the dynasty and being hunted down by the new emperor.
Therefore, every generation of emperors is like a retaliator, constantly targeting the family (Tang Ming). Or try how to coexist peacefully with the family, and everyone will be safe and sound (Jin and Song). It is said that the history of the 24 is the history of the 24 families, so why not the history of the Anti-Japanese War of the 24 families? The monarchy won, and the state was extended for ten or twenty years; The vassal power wins, and the life span of the state is shortened by ten or twenty years.
The veteran families know the best to hide their edges, even if the Li family in Longxi and the Hongnong Yang family have clansmen who have been emperors, but while recognizing the emperor's clan identity, they are also constantly fighting against it, so that the family inheritance can be preserved.
Then consider the problem from a different angle, for example, to limit the king from the beginning and make him a mascot. Nominally dominates the world, but in fact, the world is governed by the family lords. In this way, you can avoid a lot of risks.
Yang Lang means that gradually the cabinet, by all the local county owners, vote together to elect a member of the parliament into the parliament. All councillors had to vote on what policies and laws the king wanted to make, and more than two-thirds of the councillors agreed before the policies could be implemented.
I have to say that Yang Ci was indeed moved. According to this logic, the monarch cannot act recklessly, and when he sees that a certain industry is more profitable, he must take it as a state-owned or royal monopoly. It is impossible to say, even the royal family itself is a monopoly of capitalism, and it has a monopoly on a certain industry.
But no matter how everyone divides the cake, one can avoid new competitors, and the other can also avoid who is too sharp and pushed to a high position. Everyone's interests are guaranteed and key risks can be mitigated. It is especially important for Yang Ci to admit that if food prices plummet, the family must find another way out, otherwise the economy will restrict the family's development.
Yang Ci said that he needed to think about it, which actually meant that he had already been moved. Yang Lang won't talk nonsense, and if he continues, it may be counterproductive.
After resting in Yang Mansion for a day, he returned to the military camp, and Li Yu first reported the situation in Yang Mansion. As far as the results are concerned, Li Yu feels that they are already very good. After all, it is impossible for the concept to change so quickly, and although Yang Ci is the patriarch, he cannot really represent the entire Hongnong Yang family, so it is natural to discuss with the clansmen.
"That's right! He also asked his subordinates if the lord wanted to agree to the marriage with the Yang family...... "Yang Lang brought up the old matter again, obviously when he was in the Yang Mansion, he was nagged by Yang Ci a lot.
"Forget about marriage, not to mention that there is no practical benefit to the marriage of one south and one north, just that my view of love is not the same, as long as the woman who really makes my heart move, there is love between the two parties, so that I will have the idea of getting married.
Not to mention that Bian Linglong treats me well, and I can't let her down. It's not good to let the dignified Hongnong Yang's concubine come to be a concubine for me, right? Li Yu shook his head and replied.
"This is your decision, my lord, the words of my subordinates have been conveyed, and the task has been completed." Yang Lang pushed it all away.
In fact, what Li Yu didn't know was that Yang Ci had another task assigned to Yang Lang at that time. The main reason is that Yang Valve's people have already heard that Li Yu's wife Bian Linglong recognized a godsister named Xie Huan, and she has a good relationship with Yang Lang. Therefore, if it is impossible to promote the marriage between Li Yu and the Yang family, then let Yang Lang seize the time to take down Xie Huan, so that the two sides still have a layer of marriage relationship.
The two sides already had some feelings, and Yang Lang really didn't want to bring the interests of the family behind this relationship. But I'm afraid that even if the two of them come together because of their feelings in the future, others will only think that this is a marriage, right?
"Okay, things are pretty much the same in Luoyang. Inform the whole army that tomorrow it will be pulled out and return to the autonomous region! Li Yu didn't bother to continue talking about this matter, and directly issued a military order.
"So soon to go back? Don't walk around in Luoyang? Yang Lang was very puzzled, you must know that this Luoyang is a place where the family gate valves gather, who comes here and doesn't stay for a few days, and goes to the gate valves to walk around.
"They won't treat me either, and it's in vain if they go. Not to mention that I blew up Yuan Valve's mansion earlier, I can't say that others are still trying to find a way to assassinate me, and I can't stay and give them a chance to attack? The point is that Lao Tzu has something to do, and he has no time to continue wasting time here! Li Yu smiled and took out Liu Hong's edict.
When Yang Lang saw it, he immediately gasped. What's going on with Liu Hong, he sent more than ten county towns to the autonomous region in one go, the key is that he has seen the map, and the huge area around Wuyi Mountain and Xianxialing is almost equivalent to being attached.
The point is that the official position has also been promoted. The autonomous region is equivalent to being promoted to the county level, in other words, Li Yu will be the county guard in the future, but I feel that in terms of the scope of rule, it is no less than the state pastor; The military position has also been promoted, and the official has reached General Jianwei, which is not a miscellaneous general, a real permanent military position of the Han Dynasty.
There are five miscellaneous generals under his jurisdiction, and there are a number of partial generals and lieutenants, and it is obvious that their promotion is inevitable.
Yuan Lian was promoted to the rank of county chief, apparently to contain and restrict Li Yu; In addition, there is also an arrangement for a person named Xun Yan to serve as a long history position, but it is equivalent to Cheng Yu's official position.
Yang Lang didn't know who Xun Yan was, but it was basically certain that he should be a clansman from the Xun clan in Yingchuan. In terms of such talent, it shouldn't be bad, but I don't know what the ability is.
In addition, there are so many sands, mainly the county orders of these ten counties, which Li Yu cannot exempt. He can be appointed and dismissed below the county magistrate, but the county magistrate must stay. Perhaps as a constraint, Liu Hong would not let Li Yu expand his power so easily.
The advantage is that in terms of military generals, Liu Hong did not arrange sand to come in. I also know that even if I come in, I am afraid that I will be completely hollowed out, so I don't do such a thankless thing.
The army was allowed to rise to 50,000 men, but there was still no intention to leave the territory of the autonomous region, otherwise it would be tantamount to rebellion. The latter article is actually meaningless, Li Yu is fine, and it is impossible to drag the army around.
That's the way it is, no wonder Li Yu is in such a hurry to go back, it turns out that the territory has increased, and he is planning to go back to take a good look at his new territory. There's a thorn in the back of your buttocks, and you can't sit still!
The other generals should have known about this matter, and the holy decree seemed to have been handed down yesterday, but he didn't know it because he was resting. Yang Lang naturally didn't have any opinion on this, and he didn't bother to stay here.
It is said that Luoyang is Vanity Fair, but Vanity Fair is the most tiring. Unless it's really necessary, the average person really doesn't want to get involved. Not to mention the group of old foxes, who are calculating themselves like staring at fat chickens, it is quite annoying to just say that there is no boundless entertainment.
The army was drawn the next day, and Liu Hong really treated Li Yu well, and gave a lot of military rations when he left. In addition, in terms of armament, it also gave 5,000 ring-headed swords, 5,000 shields, 5,000 sets of scale armor, more than 10 sets of fine armor, and more than 800 horses.
By the time Li Yu left, the Yellow Turban Army had been pacified, and the remaining thieves only needed to be strengthened. The volunteers were no longer needed, so the imperial court issued an order that the volunteers in various places would be rewarded for their merits, but at the same time, all the volunteers were ordered to be disbanded on the spot. If the dissolution has not expired, it will be regarded as rebellion.
In this way, the families are afraid that it will not be possible to form a volunteer army in an open and honest manner. In addition, the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army and Zhu Jun have returned one after another, and Luoyang's defense has also begun to improve, even if the family forms another 200,000 volunteers, it will be useless. And when the time comes, it will not be the current King Qin, but the righteous Qing monarch or rebellion!
If there is no crisis in Luoyang, then there is no need for Li Yu's army to stay. The latter also knew this, which was originally the main reason why he went north to King Qin. On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army is not even a supporting role.
It is also ironic that the largest rebel army in the country is not the protagonist, but the volunteers formed under the banner of King Qin are the main ones. Fortunately, everything is troublesome, otherwise it will disappear before the bud, and this time King Qin is considered a success.
"It doesn't feel like it's a taste!" On the way back, Li Wen couldn't help but complain.
"What's there to complain about?" Li Yu turned around and asked.
"It's not enjoyable, it's the Baibo Yellow Scarf that is more enjoyable, but it's still not happy!" Levine complained.
Although the other generals didn't say anything, they could see that they were not very satisfied at the moment. The journey north was almost smooth, and a crushing war was fought, but in fact there was no technical content at all.
"In the final analysis, the Yellow Turban Army has not received systematic training, and even many generals have not learned the art of war. If you lose to them, I won't spare you! If you want an enemy, you will have as many as you want in the future, the key is that this time many people have experienced the battle and seen blood, this is a big harvest!
I have often heard people say that 'a soldier who does not see blood is not a good soldier', no matter how well he usually exercises, he has not killed anyone, and he has not fought with others, he is always less bloody!
Looking at the more than 20,000 soldiers behind now, their spirit has improved a lot compared to when they just set out on the expedition! Li Yu felt that the purpose of this dispatch had been achieved. One is to avoid the danger of Liu Hong being replaced, and the other is to let these soldiers get trained, which is the best result.
In the final analysis, war is only a continuation of politics, and when the political goal is achieved, there is no need to continue to use troops!
When the army returned, it was much slower than when it came, and it was not in a hurry to return to its homeland, so it advanced slowly, and only after five or six days did it cross the river and return to the autonomous region.
"We're back!" The first time he stepped into the autonomous region, Li Yu smiled slightly. (To be continued.) )
