Chapter VIII Five Years
A month later, in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Huang Shang received news from Xuzhou.
"Xuzhou Mi Zhu, together with Cao Bao and others, captured Tao Qian and many officials, and asked the Yellow Court to send officials and troops to receive Xuzhou to avoid war."
“……”
Huang Shang was stunned when he heard the news, he never dreamed that his eldest brother was so bold and skillful, and he actually kidnapped the entire Xuzhou Shi clan.
Isn't this feeling of lying down and winning?
Huang Shang did not doubt the accuracy of this piece of information, he understood at a glance on his mobile phone that his eldest brother had indeed teamed up with Cao Bao and other military groups to kidnap the civilian and official clans, and a complete Xuzhou was sent to his mouth for nothing.
There was nothing to say, Huang Shang immediately sent officials and troops to Xuzhou, took over the army and city defense of Xuzhou, and arranged the appointment of various officials.
Tao Qian was sent to Luoyang to retire because he was not guilty of any major crimes, and the civil and official group of scholars represented by the Chen family was all pulled to the stone field for labor reform.
The ass is crooked, and the more cultured it is, the more reactionary it is. Huang Shangke will not show mercy to these subordinates of the Shi clan who sit crookedly, he can be as ruthless as he can, and it is not a pity to die.
Huang Shang's favorite thing to do in the past two years is the moment of raiding the house after the elimination of the Shi group, which has almost monopolized the cultural inheritance, and they have countless literary classics at home, many of which are even unique. After these books were confiscated, they were all sent to the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and after being sorted, they would be classified into the Royal Library.
The royal library is huge, and it has only filled up a tenth of it so far, and Huang Shang's goal is to fill the entire library, so he needs to confiscate more scholars, and if necessary, he is even ready to steal graves and dig up graves.
Some ancient people would always bring some precious things into the tomb after death, which not only caused a huge waste, but even had a very negative impact on the cultural inheritance.
Huang Shang did not have any reverence for such ancients. Anyway, if you die, you will die, and I will dig up your grave and let your funeral goods have some social and historical value, which can be regarded as doing a good deed for you.
Don't be grateful, it's all what I should do.
……
The guilty should be punished, and the meritorious should be rewarded.
Cao Bao and others united by Mizhu because of their meritorious contributions to the city, Huang Shang gave them the corresponding reward.
In fact, strictly speaking, Cao Bao is also from the scholar family, but his family is not a poetry heirloom, so he takes the road of a military general, but unfortunately Cao Bao is as his name suggests, he is a straw bag, and there is nothing in his stomach, but he is a general and has become the highest officer in Xuzhou.
Now that Xuzhou has arrived, Huang Shang asked Cao Bao to go to Luoyang to 'retire'. For this kind of person who has no ability and has merit, Huang Shang's only way is to let them retire in old age, so as not to cause trouble.
As for Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu was one of the few commercial elites in the world, and Huang Shang asked him to be responsible for transporting the grain and apples in the territory to the northern grasslands in exchange for the cattle, sheep and horses of the nomads, which not only eliminated the danger of the nomads going south to the pastures due to lack of food, but also earned war horses, ploughing cattle and mutton that could be killed and eaten from the nomads, as well as wool for weaving.
It's a really 'win-win' approach, and the so-called win-win is that I win twice.
He just likes this.
Just when Huang Shang was making every effort to develop infrastructure and recuperate, the princes of the world saw that Huang Shang did not send troops to fight them, and they all became bolder, and then ascended the throne one after another, among which three families surnamed Liu were the first to ascend the throne.
They are Liu Yan in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Yu in Youzhou.
These three surnamed Liu, Liu Yan has the risk of the mountains and rivers of Shu as a barrier, and the risk of being called the emperor is the least, and Liu Yan is old, and his health has not been very good in recent years.
Perhaps in order to go crazy in the end, Liu Yan ascended the throne and became the emperor with the support of the Shu Shi clan.
And Liu Biao said that the emperor was forced to do so, because Huang Shang's dislike of the scholars caused many scholars in his territory to flee, and most of them fled to Jingzhou, which was relatively prosperous and had no war.
In order to resist Huang Shang's 'tyranny', these scholars united to promote Liu Biao to the throne in order to preserve their eternal foundation.
Although Liu Biao is helpless, how many people are alive who don't want to be emperors? The opportunity was already in front of him, and the Han family had been overthrown by Huang Shang, so he simply gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, accepted the recommendation of the scholar clan, and became the emperor.
In the original 'history', Yuan Shao supported him as the emperor, but because of the presence of Emperor Han Xian at that time, Liu Yu rejected Yuan Shao's recommendation, but he was killed by Gongsun Zhan within two years, and it was a pity to die.
But in this world, the Han family no longer exists, so Liu Yu took the lead and ascended the throne as emperor in Youzhou.
He also has the confidence to be the emperor, because he implemented benevolent government in Youzhou, and opened the border city so that the local people and nomads can trade with each other and take what they need, so he not only got the strong support of the local nomads, but the local people also supported him very much.
Although Youzhou is poor, there are millions of people, coupled with the support of the nomads, and after Gongsun Chan died in the tiger prison, Liu Yu took advantage of the situation to annex Gongsun Zhan's power, and he was full of confidence.
Even if Yizhou and Qingzhou surround him, he is confident that he will gain a foothold in Youzhou, and at the same time, he is also seizing the time to rectify his armaments, and one day in the future, he must overthrow Huang Shang's rule and reproduce the glory of Emperor Guangwu.
These three clans surnamed Liu ascended the throne and became emperors, and other princes were not willing to be lonely, such as Sun Jian escaped in the Tiger Prison Pass, and after running back to Jiangdong, he began to use Jiangdong as a base, and pushed the entire Jiangdong in the shortest possible time, and then ascended the throne in his hometown Fuchun and became emperor.
On Xiliang's side, Han Sui saw that there were so many emperors in the world, and said in his heart: You deserve it, and I deserve it.
So Han Sui spent a lot of effort and ascended the throne in Xiliang and became emperor. But the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to drive the forces of the Ma family out of Xiliang, so as not to get in the way.
At the end of the Battle of Tiger Pass, Ma Teng was captured and surrendered to the Yellow Room, and he has been a rich man in Luoyang since then, but he did not take his family in Xiliang over, but let them stay in Xiliang, in case of an accident on his side, so that his family could survive in Xiliang.
But he never dreamed that his sworn brother Han Sui would drive out all their Ma family's forces in Xiliang after ascending the throne and becoming emperor.
Now that his own people are homeless, Ma Teng has to let them come to Luoyang to live. Of course, it was good for the family to be reunited, but he also knew that he was completely tied to the warship of the Yellow Room and could never get off again.
There are always some small princes, and even bandits and water bandits have followed the throne and become emperors, and for a while, the whole world is torn apart, comparable to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It is said that the general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be united, and Huang Shang is not divided for a period of time, anyway, when his infrastructure projects and recuperation reach the expected stage, he will send troops to sweep the world and reunify the world.
But fighting a war is still a trivial matter to consume money and food, and the key is that many people will die, which Huang Shang must pay attention to, so during the period of recuperation, his arsenal was successfully built and put into production.
In just two years, hundreds of artillery pieces and tens of thousands of muskets were sent to the army, and the first to get the first batch of muskets was Zhang Shun's trapped camp.
When Zhang Shun saw the power of the musket, the three views of the whole person were shattered.
You don't need to train at all, you just need to learn how to use a musket, and you can become the most powerful army in the world, so how can you live as a master of military training like him in the future?
He can even imagine that with these muskets, there will definitely be a lot of bastard officers in the army in the future, because as long as you learn how to shoot guns, you will be a strong army, what else is there to work for? Winning the battle with a gun is not over.
But fortunately, Huang Shang seems to know this, so the requirements for the ideological construction of the troops using muskets are very high, and they must be absolutely loyal to Huang Shang, loyal to the Yellow Family, loyal to the people, and must have the spirit of not being afraid of death and suffering on the battlefield.
The army, what is required is to enforce orders and prohibitions, teamwork, and want to show your personality in the army, so you will be crushed first.
Because muskets don't require much training time, they can basically become an army in a few months, coupled with Gao Shun's rigorous management of the army, it only took two months for a powerful musket team to become an army.
However, after this musket team was formed, it was given to Huang Shanggong to defend the Beijing division by Gao Shun, and he reselected 5,000 infantry and strictly trained the trapped camp.
He felt that the Musket team would win too easily, which would make the soldiers lose their fighting spirit, and he didn't like such soldiers, so after he finished training, he gave it to Huang Shang directly.
He wanted to train his ideal trapping faction, not the musketeers.
Gao Shun is not a brilliant person among the stars of the Three Kingdoms, and he fell without even much light, but as long as the Three Kingdoms fans know a little about him, they definitely don't want to miss this excellent military training master.
Gao Shun, who is innocent, dignified, does not drink alcohol, does not take bribes, and has only trained more than 700 people in the trap camp, but he will win every battle, and there is no enemy formation that they cannot break.
Among the few records, Xiahoudun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were all defeated generals under Gao Shun, but he was such an excellent general, but he followed the wrong master.
Because Gao Shun was upright, he often advised Lu Bu, directly provoked Lu Bu, and took away his military power, but whenever it was time for a war, he would still call Gao Shun to continue to command the troops, which shows Gao Shun's ability.
And Gao Shun was very loyal, when Lu Bu was defeated and captured, Lu Bu begged for his life, Zhang Liao thought about it for a long time, and also surrendered to Cao Cao, only Gao Shun did not say a word and was killed by Cao Cao.
obviously followed a master who didn't want to see him, but chose to be martyred after being defeated and captured, which leader doesn't like such a general? Of course, Huang Shang likes it too.
So since Gao Shun was taken out of Lu Bu's hands, Huang Shang has responded to Gao Shun's requests, and even if he doesn't ask for it, he will take the initiative to ask him if he needs anything?
It was the first time Gao Shun had met someone who cared so much about and supported him, and it was false to say that he was not moved, but he did not say anything, he was still working hard to train and govern the army, and he did not relax for a day.
Huang Shang knew what kind of person he was, and he didn't mind it, but gave him the first batch of muskets after they were made, which shows his trust in Gao Shun.
You must know that although he let all the civil and military officials in the court swear allegiance to him, he never asked Gao Shun to swear allegiance to him, such a person does not need to swear at all.
It's enough to be nice to him.
The recuperation lasted for five full years, and then in the spring of 195 AD, Huang Shang felt that the strength had almost accumulated, and it was time to show the strength of the Yellow Chamber.
