Chapter 202: Cao Yizhou
Cao De only took a dozen days to take Yizhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć š„ It's nothing short of a miracle.
In fact, Cao De's attack on Yizhou was basically on the march! The only delay is to wait for the arrival of Zhou Cang and Ma Zhong in Chengdu City!
Cao De waved the slogan of eliminating and decomposing the state elements, and held the banner of Yizhou Mu sent by Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo, and it seemed that overnight, the entire Yizhou became Cao De's back garden.
In Cao De's plan, Yizhou is his home base. It is the foundation of one's own offense and defense. Therefore, Cao De must hold Yizhou firmly in his hands. Therefore, Cao De must not leave behind the road of Yizhou construction and never close his door at night.
Therefore, Jia Xu led Zhang Lu and Lu Gu to come.
But why didn't Xun Yu or Gu Yong come? Wouldn't they have done more to manage internal affairs than Zhang Lu and Lu Guniu.
No, in fact, Cao De wants to carry out land reform in Yizhou! Implement the same land policy as Hanzhong County. At the beginning of the agrarian revolution in Hanzhong County, it was Jia Xu who led Zhang Lu and Lu Guge.
This couple has some experience!
However, when they arrived in Chengdu, Cao De gave instructions.
Yizhou doesn't need Hanzhong, there are too many families here, so many that if we kill them all, Yizhou will be paralyzed. Moreover, when we recruit civil servants, we have to choose from these families.
The people are important, but how can an illiterate farmer with rich farming experience govern the people. So let's have a special game this time.
The big families have one thing in common, that is, they have land and money. But none of them have me, Cao De, powerful and soldiers. So, let's salute first and then soldier.
An edict was issued to the whole state, ordering the large families of the entire Yizhou to hand over seventy percent of the farmland within a time limit. Every cent of farmland handed over is compensated at market value. Those who fail to submit within the time limit will bear the consequences.
The edict was issued, and Cao De wandered around Chengdu. Because Cao De is picking a place, picking a place to build a general's mansion for himself!
Ten days passed quickly, and it was time for Cao De to leave to the clans. But when Cao De saw it, there were very few people who handed over the fields, and those who took the initiative to hand in were just some small trash fish with little power. Those big fish and prawns that Cao De really wanted to deal with, but he handed over a few acres of thin fields to deal with it.
Cao De looked at it and smiled. I, Cao Yizhou, didn't give you a chance, if I don't take the opportunity to perform well, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
So, Cao De led Zhang Lu and Lu Gu with an army of 5,000. Let's go out for a trip at public expense!
When Cao De was leaving, he also posted a notice in the city of Chengdu.
You don't take my Cao Yizhou's orders seriously, and you hang with me all day long, then don't be ruthless with me. I'll go to Guanghan first. You discuss it first.
So, Cao De came to Guanghan. With a big wave of his hand. Besiege the city. Huhula. In Guanghan City, only entry is allowed, not exit.
Next, Cao De began to eat and drink from house to house, while Zhang Lu and Lu Gu began to be busy.
Measure the land, inquire about the master's house, and make a register.
This busy work is nearly half a month, and this is the result of the spontaneous help of many people.
Cao De took the report sent by Zhang Lu, and began to verify and dispose of it door-to-door again!
Well, the Zhang family concealed 300 acres! Take down the head of the house! The Wang family concealed 500 acres! Take down the head of the house! The Ma family concealed a thousand acres! Take!
ā¦ā¦
Huhulala, almost all the heads of the big families in Guanghan City were invited by Cao De to the camp outside the city with a rope.
You actually dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates, Lao Tzu is very angry, and the consequences are very serious. It's just that I, Cao someone, am not some people who like to kill. So, don't be afraid.
All the excess land found is handed over and a fine is paid at twice the market value. Then, pay another deposit. Go home.
Okay, Ben Yizhou is done. Present the pen and ink and let the heads of the family write letters to their families.
Hey, attention. These are my rich men, so they will be served to me with good food and drink.
Cao De finished speaking and left. Then, three waves of soldiers entered.
The first wave of soldiers carried pens, ink, and bamboo slips. And many heads of the family look at me, and I look at you. I don't know what to do anymore.
And just then, a second wave of soldiers came, carrying broadswords. To write or not to write, the big knife is right here, and it's up to you whether it will stick some blood!
At this time, some of the heads of the family trembled and picked up the pen. Just as they were about to put pen to paper, another wave of soldiers entered. But they had wine in their hands. "The general has an order, obedient collaborator, drink a glass of wine after writing, everyone will still be friends in the future!"
Now, everyone is working hard for their own lives!
Three days later, Cao De began to set up the registration desk, who fined how much money and how much ransom, remember clearly!
Five days later, Cao De left Guanghan with an army of 4,000. Start your journey to your next destination. And the remaining 1,000 soldiers went to Chengdu with Cao De's harvest in Guanghan!
After that, Cao De transferred to Xichong City. Half a month later, Cao De left satisfied.
When Cao De first arrived in Brazil, the big families in Brazil were waiting for Cao De outside the city with fines and ransoms.
Cao De looked at it, and his consciousness was very good. Take the money and go!
Cao De didn't continue to wander around, because Jia Xu sent a letter to Cao De, saying that the big families in Chengdu and Yizhou had donated generously!
Cao De laughed, waved his hand, and walked back to Chengdu!
In fact, Cao De knows that there are still some big families who have reservations. However, Cao De has done it enough now, and if he pulls their skin harder, the consequences will be very serious!
And then, after Cao De returned to Chengdu, Zhang Lu and Lu Gu began to be busy dividing the fields!
This work is not done overnight. Cao De didn't have the heart to continue to stay in Chengdu. simply returned to Hanzhong.
After Cao De returned to Hanzhong, Xun Yu and Xu Shu were also transferred to Chengdu by Cao De. Among them, Xun Yu went to help Jia Xu, while Xu Shu went to supervise the army.
As for Zhou Cang and Ma Zhong, they were also brought back to Hanzhong by Cao De, and the Blade Battalion and the Sharp Spear Battalion also began to be reorganized.
The two battalions of 20,000 men and horses were reduced by half. 10,000 men were retained each. The 20,000 soldiers screened out went to the Tuntian camp.
In fact, Cao De's labor camp was divided into two camps. One is the Tuntian Camp, and the other is the Tuntian Camp for Labor Reform. It can be seen from their name. The labor intensity of the people in the labor camp is much higher than that in the camp in the camp!
The rectification work in Yizhou was carried out in an orderly and rapid manner in the hands of Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Xu Shu.
And just when Cao De was about to start thinking about how to deal with Dong Zhuo, who was doing evil in Luoyang, a message from Yizhou made Cao De come to Chengdu again.
Moreover, this time, Cao De actually brought the legendary army that had been hidden by Cao Dexue for five years! Hammer Camp!
What happened to Cao De actually dispatched a heavy hammer to the main camp, and Cao De also dragged Zhou Cang and Ma Zhong, who had just returned to Hanzhong!
Cao De was busy cleaning up Yizhou, and Dong Zhuo, who was in Luoyang, was also busy cleaning up Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo first incorporated the Praetorian Guards and City Guards in Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo's troops in Luoyang reached more than 40,000 in one fell swoop! Secondly, Dong Zhuo also let his son-in-law Niu Fu do the state pastor of the state. And the first thing Niu Fu did when he took office was to take the army to the territory of the Huns and bring 20,000 strong men to Dong Zhuo.
In this way, coupled with Dong Zhuo's troops in Bingzhou and Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo already has an army of 120,000!
When it comes to Liangzhou, I have to talk about Ma Teng. Now the entire Liangzhou, except for the three counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei County in Ma Teng, is also held in the palm of Dong Zhuo's hand.
In fact, Dong Zhuo has long coveted Ma Teng. If nothing else, just for the more than 40,000 Qiang cavalry under Ma Teng's command!
And why Ma Teng was spared was because of Cao De's relationship. Dong Zhuo still doesn't want to turn his face with Cao De now! (To be continued.) )
