Chapter 187: The Mandate of Heaven is in Han and Not in Wu (2)
At Ding Feng's age, once he accepted his fate, he made a decision quickly, but in an instant, he made a decision, directly called his confidants, and arrived in Xiangyang in the name of patrolling defense.
Now that he has come here, he has naturally given up his past reputation and position, but he may still be unwilling in his heart, but this is human nature.
"Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, pacifying the entire Wu State, even if we resist hard, it can be achieved within a year or two, or it will take less time, since the recovery of Guanzhong, Your Majesty will have the foundation of chasing the world, and the Wu State has not occupied the land of Huainan and Jingxiang, there is only one way to defeat.
If I am an enemy of Your Majesty, I will only bring about my own destruction, but I will be trapped in the past, and I will be trapped in a false name......"
Ding Feng saw that Ding Wen's face was discouraged, and said on the side, he didn't blame his son, after all, this road should be taken by himself, since this step was taken, the depression in his heart seemed to have completely dissipated, and he could live for a few more years.
Seeing that Ding Wen was silent, as if he had listened to these words, Ding Feng sighed softly.
Thinking that tomorrow morning, he would also go back with the Han army and sacrifice Jingzhou, Ding Feng's mood was complicated.
But...... Turning his head and looking at his son, as long as the Ding family is still alive, what does it matter if he loses this inheritance?
Originally, this foundation is not stable, if it can be operated for three or five years, it can be called a foundation, and it will only take a year before and after.
The bloodline is passed on, and the Ding family will not break its roots, which is the most important thing.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the sky dawned, and the Han army set off and rushed to Nanjun.
Because of Ding Feng's assistance, yesterday Nanjun has been absorbed, this time it is Ding Feng to assist in the integration of Jiangxia County, Yidu County, Jianping County three counties, Jingnan counties at this time because of the barbarians, but it is not suitable for a while, Jingbei counties are not bothered, the counties of the reception of the matter is very smooth, a total of 30,000 Wu troops basically did not resist, just accept the adaptation.
The edict ordered Huo Yi to guard Jiaozhou, and concurrently served as the assassin of Jiaozhou;
ordered Tao Huang to lead his troops to march into Jingnan, to be the Taishou of Changsha County, the general of Zhengdong, and the assassin of Yangzhou;
The edict ordered Luo Xian to be the assassin of Jingzhou, the general of Zhendong, the Taishou of Jiangxia County, and the guard of Jiangxia.
Ding Feng, Ding Wen and his son were also rewarded, and the officials and generals of Jingzhou were rewarded, and the properties everywhere were also protected.
It was only confiscated the official workshop property of the Wu State and the property of the Sun royal family.
Although he lost the position of governor, the Ding family was exempted from the scourge of extermination, and continued to be an official as a general, and was promoted to the county marquis, and the future is hopeful.
As soon as the news of Jingzhou being taken down almost bloodlessly this time came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the world.
"I really didn't expect that Ding Lao Thief would surrender with his seal! Since he has set this precedent, if we do not act in this way, will we not be killing ourselves? "Changsha County Taishou Mansion, since I got the news, the atmosphere is tense, and in the study of the back house, a confident voice comes out from time to time, obviously hateful.
The Wu army in Guiyang County was also waiting for it, but the Taishou Mansion was crying.
Since the news came, Guiyang Taishou's wives and concubines cried to persuade their husbands to surrender, Guiyang Taishou knew that they were sent by their respective families to be lobbyists, and he knew that with his current strength, he was facing the Han Kingdom, just looking for death, and he would rather die than surrender, and several major families in Guiyang County, which had relatives with their own families, could not escape the catastrophe, so the wives and concubines from the big clan begged him to surrender, and it was really difficult to endure under this internal and external troubles.
What's more, Tao Huang became famous in Jingzhou as early as possible, and those mountain barbarians couldn't rely on it, and Ding Feng, who made this decision, personally descended, which means that the general trend has gone, and several counties in Jingbei are all Ding Feng's henchmen, and Jingnan is just a mountain everywhere, and the force is not enough to stop it.
At the same time, the Taishou of Wuling County, Lingling County, and Hengyang County all encountered such and such problems, like Linhe County, their troops were smaller and they encountered more difficulties, but they did not hesitate much, and immediately sent people to surrender the county to Han.
Tao Huang received the edict, at this time immediately organized a march, saw the general, was not ambiguous, still maintained the original position, just accepted all the city defense, and asked them to appease the people, spend this time, promised to move to Shu as an official.
In the end, the neighboring Guiyang County also had to comply with the will of heaven, which was where the Han army was located, so it could only send people to surrender.
Tao Huang marched quickly, sent people to reorganize the army one by one, reorganized it, and basically appointed the original officials to govern the government in order to maintain stability.
However, at the same time, it is also like the central center issued a request, so that the central center can select officials at all levels to replace the current officials of Jingnan counties, and give this subordinate general generous treatment.
Yang Yi ordered the center to complete Tao Huang's above as soon as possible, and appointed Ding Feng as the right general to command the troops of all departments, a total of 50,000 people, and carried out the next step of Jingzhou's reorganization.
Guiyang County; Wuling County, Lingling County, and Xiangdong County all fell, and there were only two places in the entire Jingzhou, Hengyang County and Changsha County.
Tao Huang raised 50,000 troops, and personally entered Changsha County, made a strong statement, and forced Changsha County Taishou to surrender, and Hengyang County Taishou saw this and could only surrender.
From the beginning of Ding Feng's surrender to the surrender of Taishou in Hengyang County, a total of about 40 days before and after were like thunder, and before the whole Wu State could react, Jingzhou completely changed.
At this time, it was the beginning of May, and the entire Jingzhou fell into the hands of Yang Yi, and the Han Dynasty lost Jingzhou for more than 40 years and returned again.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after the Han Dynasty unified Jingzhou, Wu State could no longer resist the surging Han Dynasty with only the land of Yangzhou, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, now the Han Dynasty has once again owned Yizhou, Liangzhou, Jiaozhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, and Jingzhou, and half of the world has belonged.
It's the beginning of May, and it's neither hot nor cold, and the weather is at its most pleasant.
At this time in previous years, all the prefectures and counties in Jingzhou, whether they were young men and women in big families, or young boys and girls among ordinary people, would choose a time when the wind and the sun were beautiful. This has almost become one of the traditions of Jingzhou.
It was when the wind and the sun were beautiful, the handsome young man and the beautiful lady were walking by the lake, and when they saw him by chance, they looked for him thousands of times, and when they looked back, the man was in the dim light.
Although the hearts of the people are still ancient, the story of this talented and beautiful woman is the most popular among young men and women.
The story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru is also praised.
Now the Han army is in front, and the counties in the rear are also safe, but the mountain barbarians are scattered, losing the support of the counties, and even the mountains have not been able to go back, so they have been suppressed by the counties, all of them have been reduced to slavery, and they have also been captured and killed in the villages in the mountains.
Today's Jingzhou Legion, most of them are going to be sent to other states, so there are not many local land and slaves, and the surrender of the army is only a reward of gold and silver, but this also makes the surrendered army cheer, and Wu Guo does not have this reward.
Tens of thousands of troops, except for the Jingzhou mountain barbarians, let the old and weak retire from the army, scattered gold, silver and land, and the rest were incorporated into various armies, which was a long-term work and the main task of Ding Feng.
For example, the counties of Jingbei are also safe, such as the southern counties, the trade routes of the Han Kingdom were reopened, and countless merchants flocked to them.
Horse-drawn carts and ox-carts are constantly moving back and forth in the streets; All kinds of temple fairs are endless.
Many ladies who can't go out on weekdays take advantage of the temple fair to take a breath and enjoy the outside scenery, and at the same time become the scenery in the eyes of others.
The neighboring counties, however, have been displaced for many reasons due to constant wars and border frictions.
The more this spring and summer alternate, the more disasters and famines.
The situation in Jingbei is still better, Ding Feng is cautious, since his succession, he has mainly guarded his business, the land of Jingbei counties is fertile, while the counties of Jingnan are few plains, mostly mountainous, and the grain produced is only barely enough for the people in the territory to eat and wear, but because of the rebellion of the mountain barbarians, the food has been insufficient.
Nowadays, the counties have divisions of the Ministry of Industry, and they have already sent important officials to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Shaofu to come, and the counties have started to provide relief in lieu of work, mainly the project of repairing official roads.
“…… Fellow villagers, all stop, stop! Don't squeeze forward, listen to me! This is the righteousness of the Holy One, knowing that the people are suffering, he specially allocated grain and rice to distribute to you. ”
"Led by the villagers, according to the people's register of food, no registration of the book can be, from now on, grain and rice according to the household registration, a total of three days, outdated, all the villagers and elders go quickly! Hurry up! ”
On the streets of the town, several young soldiers were holding gongs, beating them to attract the people to gather and shouting loudly.
The emaciated people slowly gathered together, and some of them did not hear clearly, and asked the people around them, "What are they talking about?" What? Distributing food? ”
"Distributing food? Is this true? ”
When the people first heard the news, they first did not believe it, but after the soldiers repeatedly assured them, they were overjoyed and rushed home to get the rice.
A few people dressed in ordinary people's clothes but with good temperament stood by the street, watching the scene, but they did not run home like the others.
"Can all the grain and rice be distributed within three days?" A man wearing a cloak looked at the people in front of him with yellow faces, and asked the people next to him, "Can you take advantage of this to count the people's books?" ”
"Please rest assured, the relief work in several counties has been sent down to supervise, although the distribution of grain and rice is handled by local officials, but also sent personnel to supervise, and the porridge sheds in several counties are done by the government and local large households, within three days, all localities will carry out relief at the same time, Wuling, Lingling and other counties, each town is a station, and the village elders are responsible for checking the household registration and distributing grain and rice according to the roster, and there will be no mistakes."
A person beside the man in the cloak replied respectfully: "Taking advantage of this, there will be a major reorganization of the actual population of each county." ”
This is the intention of the rule, not only to get mercy, but also to count the household registration, the next step is to carry out work relief.
The man in the cloak said "En" when he heard this, and at this time, the people were already walking in the direction of the square, and the man in the cloak also turned around and walked in the direction of the east square.
"Keep up." In addition to the few people who followed him, there were more than a dozen young people in various costumes in the crowd, carefully following.
These people look very ordinary on the outside, with gestures, but they are very light, and their feet fall to the ground, and they are silent; If a master appears here, he will definitely be able to distinguish that the dozen or so people in front of him are not ordinary people.
The place where they appeared was not a serious place in Guiyang County, where the war was not serious, although there was no harvest in the fields due to the impact of the war, and there were not many people in the villages and towns who fled the famine, most of the people still stayed, and there was barely a little life here.
And because now that the Han Dynasty is in charge, there are also occasional businessmen, and there are fresh faces that will not be noticed.
From the time the government posted the announcement and sent people out to ring the gong notice, in less than half an hour, the people who got the news had spread it to ten, ten, and hundred, making the whole town boil.
From time to time, one or two people with utensils and cloth bags rushed out of the houses, and the crowd rushed to the open space square at the east end.
It is said to be a square, but it is just an open land, and the area is very large, but it is a place where no grass grows, and it is used to dry grain; When the people arrived at the place, the official in charge of distributing the grain and rice had already sat down behind a table.
On the side to maintain order are the nursing homes temporarily seconded from large households, as well as the government army in this area; When the gathered people were already dark and could not see the edge, the officials stood up and announced the start of the rice release.
As long as there is a name on the household register, each household can get a stone of grain, that is, a bag, which is only according to the household and not according to the population, although there are some drawbacks, but it is also not taken care of; A stone of grain is not too little, if it is boiled into gruel to eat, a household can pass a month.
The next step is to carry out cash-for-work relief, leveling roads, building roads, and if roads are not built, the rule cannot be extended.
Most of the crops in the last season were not harvested, and the people's homes even had some grain in stock, and it was difficult to survive until the next season's harvest, but with these distributed rice grains, they could live, but if they wanted to be full, they had to come out to work.
"Envoy, it seems that the distribution of rice and grain in the county is very effective, and the order of household registration is clear, since you have already seen it, you don't need to worry about it anymore, right?"
The group of people before stood on the high ground behind the crowd and looked at the scene in front of them, and one of them sighed secretly and said to the people next to him.
The man in cloak standing beside him heard this, but he was silent for a while, and then said, "I don't know what the situation is in the other counties?" ”
At the same time, in Wuling County, there is a crowd of people.
"I really can't imagine that there are so many refugees in this Wuling County, which are much more serious than the rest of the counties."
Chen Shou sat in the carriage, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, only to see the people waiting for Shi Mi outside, most of them were ragged, yellow, hungry and thin, and they were still lined up in an orderly manner under the supervision of the soldiers.
Lowering the curtain, Chen Shou sighed at this time: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I really wouldn't have imagined that there are so many refugees in a huge county town, I really don't know how the previous county guard governed this place......
But I also know that this is actually an impact on all aspects, before the mountain barbarians entered the Kou, Ding Feng, the governor of Jingzhou, only set a strategy, regardless of the livelihood of the people in Jingzhou, the mountains are brutal and cruel, resulting in no people cultivating the land, Wuling County has the most mountains and barbarians, and the most affected ones.
Chen Shou is released at this time, and the five-year Hanlin bachelor has arrived, and now he has been released for one or two terms, and he may enter the center after that.
But it is faster than others, such as Du Zhen, who has been pressed, and Master Hanlin has to do another term, which seems to be powerful, but the future is limited, but this is a holy grace, but there is nothing to be done.
