Chapter 279 Establishment of the Court
I didn't choose Sun Jian because this person's vision and ambition are not big enough, and with such a person, a corner of the corner is okay, but when it comes to unifying the world, it is far behind.
Finally, when it comes to Zhang Chao, the reason for not choosing him is even simpler. It is precisely because of the wisdom of the Chinese ministers and the courage of the military generals in this group that it is difficult for him to have any big construction skills when he goes. And Zhuge Liang still has a little feeling in his heart, that is, among all the princes' forces, I am afraid that this Zhang Chao may eventually unify the world.
This person is really too powerful, and every time he makes a move, he vows not to give up until he achieves his goal. Especially the policy towards foreign races, killing if you don't surrender, is not the previous art of stability, but also won Zhuge Liang's appreciation.
For foreign races, blind suppression is not enough, and blind currying favor is not enough. What is needed is to directly eradicate all the way, only in this way can the scourge be eliminated forever, and it is still the best way to expand and enhance the influence of the country.
Of course, Zhang Chao is not the only one who understands this method. There were also many wise people among the other princes, who also saw this scene, but the main reason why they couldn't do it was that the internal complexity was too complicated, and it would be very difficult to form a joint force to do something to eliminate the aliens. And only Zhang Chao did not rely on anyone to start his business, which also made him not need to worry about the feelings of others, his words were holy decrees, what he said, the whole group would be.
Under such a joint force, the success rate of doing things will naturally be much higher. It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Zhang Chao does not die, then this group is a sharp sword, and where the soldiers are pointing, there are few people who can defeat it.
Having said that, it is precisely because of this that Zhang Chao is a little too powerful. is so powerful that Zhuge Liang thinks that he is at most a military advisor, and will share the fruits of this victory with many people. And this is something that makes him feel a little repulsed.
What Zhuge Liang wants is one person under ten thousand people, he wants to do things based on his own will, and he wants to give full play to all his talents, and these are difficult to achieve in Zhang Chao Group. In this way, he set his sights on Liu Bei, who was the least powerful but also had heroic ambitions.
Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and he is the uncle of the current emperor in terms of seniority, so under such conditions, let him do something, first of all, he took the initiative in the general righteousness.
Secondly, although Liu Bei has some fierce generals, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiuzhi, who have the ability to fight against ten thousand enemies, they are indeed very lacking in strategists.
In other words, Liu Bei is a platform for people to play freely, which is also the main reason why Zhuge Liang chose it.
Different from history, Zhuge Liang was invited by three times, this time he took the initiative to stand up and want to help Liu Bei, in order to prove his ability, he naturally needed to give a big gift first. And the battle of Xinye is the strategy he has already thought of to retreat.
In terms of the general trend, Cao Cao has just occupied Xuzhou, and it is time to stabilize it. But he really wanted to take advantage of the victorious army to capture Jingzhou at this time, which was a bit of a lack of people's hearts. As long as he can give the first blow, there is a high probability that Cao Cao will stop temporarily.
Zhuge Liang fully figured out Cao Cao's thoughts, and this appeared in front of Liu Bei, proposing that Xinye could fight and use fire to attack.
Liu Bei lost Xuzhou and was chased all the way, just when he didn't know what to do next. Suddenly a talented man appeared and said that he could save himself, so how could he not use the other party's methods. Immediately, after hearing about the strategy, he handed over the command to Zhuge Liang.
Naturally, Liu Bei was also ready to escape at any time. Once Zhuge Liang's plan doesn't work, he also needs to have a way to live.
Zhuge Liang ignored Liu Bei's thoughts, but devoted himself to commanding the Xinye First Battle. This is the battle for his fame, and if he loses, he will have a foothold in the future.
Simply enough, Zhuge Liang was not defeated. Especially after preparing for a long time, he finally gave Cao Cao's vanguard army a heavy blow in Xinye, so that the sharp sword edge of its impact stopped here.
As soon as the former army was defeated, Cao Cao really made the decision to return to Xudu. Cao Cao didn't have much confidence in taking Jingzhou at this time, and the forward was blocked, which made his mind more sober, and he just retreated at this time.
In the first battle of Xinye, Liu Bei's last bit of family background was saved. Zhuge Liang also became famous because of this. When these pieces of information were sent to Zhang Chao one by one, he began to be curious while sighing that he couldn't get a talent, and he had an urge to fight with Zhuge Liang, a wizard in troubled times.
When Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain to defeat Cao's army, Zhang Chao also ushered in a good news here, and there were many kings of Ma Han, who were finally destroyed by Jia Xu after nearly two years of resistance. At this point, the entire Sanhan is now in the hands of Zhang Chao.
Hearing the news, Zhang Chao was very excited, the external troubles were temporarily removed, and he could finally start to deal with some internal matters, and a series of measures were born as a result.
For example, Tian Feng's appointment.
For a period of time, even the trial has been served, but Tian Feng has not been assigned any tasks, in addition to going to Hanoi to persuade the professor, he is to return to Jinyang Zhangjia College to teach students, and it seems that he has become a gentleman.
It's just that a talent like Tian Feng, Zhang Chao won't hide it all the time. He already had a plan in mind, but he never had time to implement it. Now that Samhan has been pacified, the smoke of the war has stopped for the time being, and some internal matters should be dealt with.
won Sanhan, which made Zhang Chao have more ideas for the future.
Born in this troubled era, Zhang Chao started with a hundred hands and created everything now It can be said that it is not easy. The ancients said that it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country, how to keep this family business, this is also a problem he has been considering.
Now that he is still alive, he has a grasp of many major events in his heart, but once he dies, will his son not be able to keep the country? Even if it's a son, what about a grandson? He needs to think of a long-term way, not to seek eternity, at least so that the Zhang family's country can be extended.
In this way, Zhang Chao thought of establishing the country with a system.
To build a country with people, the person at the head needs to argue right and wrong, which is naturally the easiest, but once the leader commits confusion, he may commit a heinous crime. The country of law is different, only the law is there, people have to abide by it, once a system of habits is formed, the world can last for a long time.
For this reason, Zhang Chao called Tian Feng, who had been hidden by the snow, and told his thoughts.
Tian Feng listened carefully to Zhang Chao's ideas in the study room in the general's mansion, and his face showed a look of shock and admiration.
Zhang Chao sat there, and it took a long time before he told his thoughts about the establishment of a country by the legal system, and then noticed that Tian Feng's gaze at him was so torchy, and he immediately asked: "Yuan Hao, what's wrong with you?" Why are you looking at me like this? ”
"My lord, your idea is really admirable, you propose to establish a country by law, which is tantamount to weakening your own power, and a British lord like you is really rare in the world."
"Haha, Yuan Hao, you don't need to praise me like this. As I told you just now, the establishment of a court is based on the rule of law, but at the same time, it is also very offensive to people, and if you don't do it well, you will become the target of public criticism. Zhang Chao looked at Tian Feng and asked very carefully. It is not very difficult to say that it is difficult to establish a system, but the problem lies in the implementation of the legal system.
Whether a system can benefit the people and the country depends most importantly on how well it is implemented. If there are hateful people to do it, then such a system might as well not be established.
Tian Feng was originally seated, but now Zhang Chao stood up when he asked, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, although Feng is not talented, he is still willing to do things that benefit the country and the people." You are very supportive of your proposal to establish Guofeng by law, and we are willing to make all efforts to achieve this. If you really offend someone, the big deal is to die. But as long as the people have gained justice because of the legal system, there will be no regrets about their deaths. ”
"Okay." Seeing Tian Feng's resolute words, Zhang Chao also stood up and slapped his hand on the back of his hand and said: "Yuan Hao has the best decision, but you can rest assured, with me, as long as you act according to the law, others will not be able to embarrass you, I will also allocate ten iron guards to you, and they will be responsible for protecting your safety. ”
Hearing that the Iron Guard would be sent to himself, this was a treatment that could only be had by Zhang Chao and his wife, so Tian Feng immediately knelt down and said: "Thank you for the love of the lord, Fengding will live up to his mission." ”
Tian Feng accepted the position of president of the court, and at the same time took over a thick carriage of bamboo slips from Zhang Chao's hands. What was recorded there were some later laws that Zhang Chao remembered when he was fine, which was given to Tian Feng for reference.
Tian Feng became the first president of the court and began to implement the rule of law, during which he offended many people and punished how much pressure to use power, so I won't say much about those who use power to do things. After all, the mighty is talking about the vastness and style of the Celestial Empire. We now put our eyes back on it, and after the conquest of Samhan, another good news has reached the Great General's Mansion in Jinyang City.
The news was sent back by Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang was favored by Zhang Chao and became a business ambassador, bringing some good things that the Han Dynasty had, such as silk and porcelain, and naturally the most important thing was opium.
