Chapter 165: Recuperation
The Great Han Dynasty dedicated the emperor to Jian'an for three years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info (198 AD. )
At the beginning of October, the grain of the counties and counties in the land of Xuyang and Yangzhou was once again harvested, and the Donghai warehouse centered on the Donghai County became the grain storage place of the counties in the north of Xuzhou.
The second is Lujiang Cang, Jiujiang, Guangling, Lujiang three counties of grain, all stored in Lujiang Cang. Jianye Cang gathers the grain of Danyang, Wujun and Huiji.
In order to deploy the strategic plan of Jingluo, Han Lie originally planned to recuperate for two years, but in the end, he saved up for three years. Three years of peace allowed Han Lie to free his hands and wiped out millions of Shanyue in Huiji, Danyang, Lujiang and other places in one fell swoop, with more than 100,000 Shanyue people killed and as many as 500,000 surrendered down the mountain, and hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people defected to Jiaozhou and Yuzhang.
The surrender of 500,000 Shanyue people increased the population of Xuyang Prefecture to 2.31 million. In order to develop people's livelihood, Han Lie proposed that agriculture should be the foundation and promote the development of commercial channels, so that in just three years, it has reversed the weak poverty of the people since the end of the Han Dynasty, and even the people in Wujun and other places thought that the world had restored peace.
In recent years, after the harvest season with an average yield of three stones and six buckets per mu, the people on both sides of the Huaishui River began to plant winter wheat, and in the south of the Yangtze River, they can plant oil hemp, and the efficient use of farmland has made the land of Jiangdong show a prosperous scene.
On the huge Wuya battleship, Han Lie stood in front of the railing at the top of the ship's floor, and on the left and right were Guo Jiaxunyou, the two military divisions, as well as Lu Su, the commander of the navy, and then Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici and other generals. Facing the mighty blue sea, Han Lie, who was in a very happy mood, said left and right: "I didn't expect that the Wuya battleship would not only walk on the ground above the river, but even if it was on the sea, it would still be able to ride the wind and waves. ”
"What the lord said is, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not incompetent, although we have ships as sharp weapons in this battle, I am afraid that it will still be a bitter battle." In the past few years, in order to sharpen the naval army, Lu Su, the governor of the naval army, has not fought less with Zhou Yu under Sun Ce's account on the Yangtze River, speaking of which, he and Zhou Yu also had some friendship in the past, but now they are their masters, and when the two fight, they are naturally ruthless.
"Zijing, there is a good saying, born at the wrong time, although Zhou Gongjin is a hero, but at this time, when he meets you Lu Zijing, then he has only one way to lose." Han Lie didn't care, it wasn't that he was arrogant, it was because of the confidence brought by his strong strength.
After three years of recuperation, Han Lie's six battalions of the Red Flame Army were only expanded to 33,000 people, but the naval army was increased from the planned 50,000 to 70,000 troops, although the 10,000 sailors and horses led by Wang Ling were stationed in Donglai Harbor and were responsible for the coastal areas of Xuzhou and the trade of Liaodong, but in the waters of the Yangtze River, there were still 60,000 sailors.
Now Han Lie's official position is Danyang Hou, general, leader Yangzhou pastor, and the military governor of Xu Yang Erzhou, plus he has 100,000 soldiers, that is a veritable warlord of princes.
In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness and independence of the naval army, Han Lie gave Lu Su the right to make decisions on the spot, and held the Qingyu Sword in charge of the army.
The Navy Governor's Mansion is located at the Yanziji Wharf outside Jianye City. Lu Su was the governor, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were the deputy governors, Yu Fu was the chief governor of Changshi and Chen Jiao, and the governor led 28,000 men. Xu Sheng, Ling Tong, Zhu Huan, and Dong Xi each led an army, each with 8,000 men and 120 large and small ships.
Among them, Xu Sheng and Ling Tong led 16,000 people and were stationed in Xunyang Port in Lujiang, Dong Xi led his troops to be stationed in Heqi Port, and Zhu Huan was stationed in Guangling Port. After three years of all-out supervision, Han Lie's naval army now has 32 Wuya warships and 3,000 large and small ships.
The five-tooth battleship that Han Lie urged to build, if it had secrecy measures, coupled with the protection of the Heavenly Master Sect's secret agents in Diao Chan's hands, it successively disintegrated the spying of more than a dozen waves of spies from Chaisang Sun Ce, as well as Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and even Jiangxia Huangzu.
insisted on firmly grasping the shipbuilding technology in his own hands, so Sun Ce also sighed and said: "If we are defeated one day, it will definitely not be defeated by the number of troops, but by the ships." ”
This time, Han Lie took the Wuya battleship to sail on the sea, not to play, but to return to Jianye after inspecting Donglai, this time to inspect Donglai, Han Lie spent a month.
Donglai Taishou Zhang Liao, County Lieutenant Lejin, and Captain Li Dian have been in Donglai for many years, not only mined tens of thousands of red gold for Han Lie, but also built a vast pasture in the coastal area in accordance with Han Lie's instructions, and planted alfalfa from the land of Hetao, and through the Liaodong waterway opened in the past two years, they have successively purchased more than 3,000 war horses from the hands of Gongsun Du, Taishou Gongsun Du of Liaodong, of which 200 are uncastrated stallions.
The opening of the Liaodong Waterway opened up trade routes between Han Lie and Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaodong, as well as the Goguryeo Dynasty and even small states such as Samhan further north.
In the bitter cold land of the north, there is a lack of grain, salt, tea, cotton and linen, silk, spirits and other materials, but they are rich in war horses, cattle and sheep, iron and other materials, after the initial run-in between the two sides, now two years of trade, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers are responsible for the sea trade road, which can bring hundreds of millions of money to Han Lie every year.
The merchant ships led by the two of them sailed through the merchants of the land of Samhan, and even went to the kingdom of the Japanese slaves, and only used 1,000 stone of grain to exchange for 5,000 Japanese slaves.
In order to reward Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Li Dian for their exploits in Donglai, Han Lie promoted Zhang Liao to General Yangwu, Le Jin to General Huaiyuan, and Li Dian to General Jianzhong.
As the general of the Donglai Port Naval Army, Wang Ling was no longer concurrently serving as the general of Donglai County, but was reappointed as the general of Lou Chuan, and concurrently served as the post of Shaofu Cheng, Mi Zhu was the Shaofu Order, and Mi Fang was the Shaofu Gongcao, in fact, the Mi Zhu brothers and Wang Ling, the main responsibility was to be responsible for the trade of Liaodong.
The October sea breeze blows in your face, giving you a cool feeling.
Han Lie's confident words, in addition to infecting the accompanying civil and military officials, Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "According to the news summarized in Liaodong, as well as the situation of Qingzhou this year, Gongsun Zhan is afraid that it will be difficult to survive this winter, after Yuan Shao unifies the north, the tentacles will inevitably come to the Central Plains, the first to bear the brunt is Qingzhou and Yanzhou, although the news of our Donglai Nuggets is kept secret, but over the years, the news must have leaked, I am worried that once Yuan Shao learns, it is very likely that he will go all out to seize Qingzhou, and then offend Donglai." ”
"Fengxiao's words are reasonable, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have been fighting in the north for many years, even if Yuan Shao wins, it is actually just a momentum victory, in fact, I am afraid that there may not be any gains in the economy, Donglai's annual gold harvest is as much as 100 million trillion, in the face of such a piece of fat, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be anxious, so I think that the top priority, the battle of Chaisang, has been urgent, if we don't take Chaisang, we can't go to Jingzhou with peace of mind, if we don't take Jingzhou, we don't have enough strength to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, in my opinion, As long as Yuan Shao is eyeing us, the decisive battle will be inevitable. Xun You solemnly echoed Guo Jia's remarks and expressed his own opinions.
"The speculation of the two military advisors is very reasonable, although Qingzhou is barren now, the land is fertile, as long as there is a population, and after some rest and recuperation, it will definitely be a piece of anointed land, Yuan Shao will definitely not turn a blind eye." Han Lie nodded and said with a smile: "But Yuan Shao is so happy, although it is necessary to deal with him, although the decisive battle is necessary, it is still very easy to hold on to it, and now Liu Bei in Guanzhong, Cao Ang in Yanzhou, as long as they provoke a little, they will become the target of Yuan Shao's annexation, so within three years, I am confident that Yuan Shao will not come to attack." ”
"It seems that the lord has already planned, so we can also concentrate on the strategic deployment in the south, so there is nothing to worry about." Seeing that Han Lie had obviously already made arrangements, Guo Jiaxunyou and the others naturally stopped paying attention to the situation in the north.
In fact, Han Lie's arrangement on the front line in the north is indeed enough to deal with any unexpected situation, Jiujiang County's Shouchun, Peiguo, Pengcheng, Donghai, Xiapi, Langya, Tai'an, Donglai eight counties, Han Lie successively appointed generals to guard, each county has as many as 30,000 troops, and as few as 10,000, which is enough to face any unexpected situation.
Secondly, under the leadership of Chen Deng's Linhuai Dian Nongdu Governor's Mansion, there are still 30,000 Tuntian troops in his hands, and these soldiers and horses have been cultivated and trained by Chen Deng for many years, although they are not elite divisions, but they are enough to deal with ordinary battles.
"Lord, there are 3,000 cavalry enough in the southern war, I see if in the next few years, Donglai's war horses will be handed over to Zhang Wenyuan for deployment and training, if we can match 15,000 war horses within three years, then we can arm 10,000 cavalry, if there are 10,000 cavalry in hand, I dare to guarantee that it is enough to deal with any war in the north, even if Yuan Shao comes to the nest, as long as we choose the battlefield to deal with, then there is at least a fifty percent chance of victory." On this trip to Donglai, if you say that the happiest person is none other than Tai Shici.
As the chief general of the cavalry, the cavalry battalion under Tai Shici's account has only increased from 2,000 to 3,000 in the past three years, and the number of war horses has been maintained at more than 3,600. But this inspection of Donglai made him see Han Lie's determination to develop cavalry, with the coastline of Donglai and Langya for pastures, plus the war horses trafficked in Liaodong, Tai Shici believed that in three years at most, his cavalry team would reach 10,000 horsemen.
Speaking of Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Gao Shun, Chen Zhi, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, the seven generals of the Red Flame Army, although the rank is now more than 2,000 stones, but Xu Huang, who has the highest official position, is only a general of Changqi, and the other six are only partial generals. This is not that Han Lie is stingy, but a balancing act of Han Lie, now his border defense line is long, and the border guards of the Taishou County Lieutenant General are all 2,000 stones, but they are far away from the center, they have more efforts and less meritorious service, and they must be given certain treatment for their natural official positions and Yulu, so as to strengthen the soldiers' heart of service.
For this frontier meritorious reward, Han Lie has always been stingy, such as the last year Pei Guo Minister Li Tong and Du Lieutenant Liao Hua, when Cao Ang's Liang State invaded the army to fight, only 300 beheadings, Han Lie rewarded them with 600,000 yuan, and awarded double meritorious service grades to meritorious soldiers.
Internally, Han Lie talked to Zhao Yun and other seven generals with confidence, and told them why they had many meritorious contributions but low official positions, but even so, Han Lie was not stingy in terms of land, and the generals were not the landlords who owned 100 acres of good land, 300 acres of upper fields, and 500 acres of middle fields.
Although the granted private land does not have to pay rent, the tenants who are responsible for farming need to pay the tax on the people, which naturally inhibits the generation of power.
Over the years, Han Lie has been trying his best to promote the construction of the college. Penglai College in Licheng, Guangling College was established in Guangling, and now Jianye College has become the cradle of Xuyang Erzhou to train students.
Popularizing knowledge and promoting the production of a large number of talents is the best means to stabilize the country and curb the monopoly of the family gatekeeper. In the past few years, although Han Lie has not produced drastic means to suppress the powerful of the world, he has issued a notice, that is, all wealthy families in the territory, regardless of the rank of the family, if there is no meritorious service, the private armed forces shall not exceed 50 people, and anything more than this number will be dealt with as a rebellion.
No more than 50 men may be armed, and although there is no limit to the number of servants, they are not allowed to carry any weapons, and secondly, all servants who exceed 100 people must be subject to a tax of more than five times the number of people, and five times the tax on cultivation and servitude. That is to say, in a family of ordinary people, if the adult tax is ten yuan a year, then the number of more than 100 people in the Haoqiang family is fifty yuan, and the restriction of this order is undoubtedly a soft knife, so that those Haoqiang families can only have two choices, either to disband the doormen, or to make a lot of money to support them.
In order to implement this military order, Han Lie personally set an example, leaving only 29 servants in the family, and in order to play a deterrent effect, Han Lie personally led troops in Wu County to carry out a massacre of the Zhang clan, a big clan in Wu County, who had secretly hidden 300 weapons.
The Zhang family of Wu County, not only the Wang family of Wu County, but also belongs to the top gate valve in Yangzhou, the family has been born in eunuchs for several generations, and the protégés are all over Yangzhou, when they learned that Han Lie was arrested and wanted to kill the three clans of the Zhang family, not to mention the scholars of Wu County, it was the Jiangdong officials under Han Lie's account, and almost everyone expressed their intention to intercede.
Among them, Gu Yong, who was also from the Wu County clan, was even more radical in carrying out the death admonition, and Han Lie, who was unmoved, was in the hall of the Taishou Mansion of Wu County, when he saw Gu Yong, who was about to rush to the pillar to seek death because of the failure to accept the advice, Han Lie snorted coldly, looked at Gu Yong, who was dragged by Xu Chu, and said coldly: "Gu Yuan sighs, I am not afraid to tell you, if you die today, I will let your Gu family be martyred for you, you are my general and the head of the shogunate, and the advantages of the wealthy family for the country and the nation outweigh the disadvantages, you can see at a glance, Now this action, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, let me tell you, the country and the nation are greater than everything for me, and to prevent me from strengthening the country is to oppose the people, and I will not be soft. ”
Then Han Lie personally supervised the beheading, and killed all the more than 200 people of the three generations of the Zhang family, so that the blood flowed in Wu County, tens of thousands of people in Wu County rushed to watch, and the powerful clans of Xuzhou and Erzhou were shaken by it, and they disbanded their arms one after another, either secretly destroying weapons and armor, or selling them to the local government at a discount, in order to show their loyalty.
Gu Yong, who had died in death, was removed from all his duties and exiled to the Eastern Lieutenant of Huiji for nearly two years, and it was not until last month that he was reactivated by Han Lie under the letter of Eastern Lieutenant Ling Cao, and he was transferred to the position of Jian Ye Ling.
And because of this incident, Wu County Taishou was severe, and he was also dismissed and transferred to Lujiang County to serve as the county leader, and Wu County Taishou was replaced by Zhou Xin, who was originally an official in Danyang.
In the past few years, the college under the auspices of Zheng Xuan has also cultivated a group of outstanding scholars, and as many as 100 people have taken up the posts of grassroots officials in counties and counties. Chen Ji, the most knowledgeable of the four, had been appointed by Han Lie as a middle doctor in charge of the shogunate's Chinese books, and Zhu Kuang had also been appointed by Han Lie to the post of Shouchun County Commander.
And Sun Chang and Lu Quan, as Wang Bao's right and left hands, respectively served as the chief of the long history of Wang Bao, and comprehensively investigated the affairs of the officials of each county and county. (To be continued.) )
