0445 Huan Wen Dedication
Wen Yi replied solemnly: "Although the Qin and Han dynasties are dead, as long as the Chinese civilization is still there, the exploits of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty will not be forgotten." β
"History has proven that there is no such thing as an immortal dynasty, and only civilization can transcend the rise and fall of dynasties. Contribute to civilization, and civilization will not forget them. β
"Okay." Huan Wen shouted excitedly, then came to the center of the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please bow to the ministers." β
Wen Yi was also happy from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly got up to help him up, and said: "General Huan, please get up quickly, it is my luck to have your help, the luck of the country, and the luck of civilization." β
The master-slave relationship was established, and the atmosphere in the tent was suddenly much more relaxed. The stones in Xie Yi and Xi Chao's hearts were put down, and the Wenchen generals of the Tang State were naturally very happy.
No matter how invincible the Tang Kingdom is, there is no one who does not admire people like Huan Wen, and the joining of talents is a symbol of the country's strength.
As for the struggle for power, for the time being, they haven't thought about it so much...... At least it will be considered after the reunification of the country.
After that, Wen Yi asked people to bring out a newspaper to Huan Wen and them, which was the special issue of the issue of the promulgation of the lord's law.
Huan Wen and the three of them were not polite, and looked at it on the spot.
β¦β¦
When he saw the world map a few days ago, Huan Wen subconsciously thought about how he would govern such a huge world.
Originally, he didn't have an answer, the area was too big, and it seemed that no method would be enough to govern such a huge territory.
It wasn't until Liang Xian said that Wen Yi was going to divide a feudal country for the Xie family overseas that he suddenly understood.
Splitting is the best way.
In particular, the emperor of the Tang State has been emphasizing the Chinese civilization, so from the perspective of the Chinese civilization, the division is undoubtedly the best way.
This is equivalent to the meat rotting in the pot.
But all this was just his guess, and he had to ask for it himself to know, so he brought it up as a second question.
If Wen Yi really had this mind and was willing to divide the overseas lands to the princes, he would submit to the other party.
As he and Xi Chao said, there is no shame in surrendering to such a monarch. And he has that self-confidence, relying on his ability to earn back a big feudal country for the Huan family.
When Wen Yi admitted that the separation was true, he chose to surrender without hesitation.
At this time, seeing the complete lordship law in the newspaper, he no longer had the slightest doubt about the matter of separation.
Putting down the newspaper, Huan Wen began to think about how to show his abilities.
He was an ambitious man, and he was tired of competing for power and profit among the nobles very early, and showed that he did not fit in with practical actions.
Once, he was hunting on a snowy day and ran into Wang Meng, Liu Yi and others. Seeing that he was dressed in military uniform, Liu Yi asked, "What does the old thief want to do with this?" β
Huan Wen said: "If I don't do this, then I have to sit and talk?" β
It's a maverick.
It's just that later, the riotous operation of the group of people in the Jin Kingdom completely disappointed him, and he had the heart to replace him.
And he also made a comprehensive plan, first accumulating prestige and strength through the Northern Expedition, and then forcing the Jin Dynasty to concede.
It's just a pity that Yan Qin is also a hero, and the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom also saw his intention to drag his feet hard.
After the failure of the third Northern Expedition in the original history, he was ready to take another path and seize power.
It's a pity that at the critical moment, he lacked a little courage and didn't dare to take the last step, and was dragged to death by Xie An.
But in any case, since Huan Wen was preparing to rebel, he had thought about how to govern the country after the rebellion was successful, and even had a complete set of governing plans in his mind.
After reading those books a few days ago, it is inevitable that I will compare them with my own plan for governing the country.
Even he substituted himself into the Tang State, thinking about how to complete the reunification and end the war faster and better, and also had a plan.
But after all, he is a subordinate, and he can't be too eager, and he must grasp the degree well.
After thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are going to do next?" I'll get the people below to cooperate. β
Wen Yi did not hide it, and said: "The sailor went south to completely seize all the land north of the Yellow River and the Jin State to divide the river to rule, and then first pacify the north and then go south to destroy the Jin." β
Huan Wen frowned and said, "This plan seems to be a little more conservative. The Tang army has the advantage of firearms, and the destruction of the Jin State is just a gesture, so why give them a chance to survive? β
Wen Yi said: "You should have experienced the hatefulness of the Shi clan, and I am not ready to compromise with them." β
"But the foundation of the Tang State is too thin, with a population of only four million, and there is a serious shortage of talents. The scholars are intertwined, and it is difficult to implement the new policy because of their hindrance. β
"In the past few decades, the north has been plagued by wars, and the strength of the noble clan is weak, so we can easily rule."
"It only takes a year or two for us to turn the north into a second Tang kingdom and use the huge population of the north to train enough talents."
"Then go south to destroy the Jin in one fell swoop, and completely sweep the Shi clan into the garbage heap of history."
Huan Wen nodded at first, but soon showed hesitation.
Wen Yi said: "General Huan has different ideas? β
Huan Wen said cautiously: "The minister does have a little different opinion...... Please don't blame Your Majesty. β
Wen Yi smiled: "Haha...... Tang Guo has never sinned people with his words, General Huan said. β
Huan Wen said at this time: "Your Majesty underestimated the strength of the Tang Kingdom, and overestimated the strength of the scholar clan. β
Wen Yi suddenly came to his senses and said, "Oh, please General Huan tell me carefully." β
Huan Wen said: "The strength of the Tang State is not only because of firearms, but also because of laws and systems. β
"Without the support of the people, how much storm can the Shi clan itself set off?"
Wen Yi showed an approving expression, how powerful the land reform is, the history of the previous life has already proven. Huan Wen can think of this just by relying on the written law, and his vision is really powerful.
"I naturally know the attraction of Juntian to the people, but no matter how good the policy is, it needs people to implement it, but we are the executive talent."
The more Huan Wen spoke, the more open he became, and said: "The main force in implementing the policy of equalizing land is not the government, but the people themselves. β
"Just let the people know that the court wants to equalize the land, and they will take the initiative to stand up and support. What the imperial court has to do is to send people to guide it, and it doesn't need many talents. β
Wen Yi said: "What about the strong and powerful scholars? The people have lived under their coercion for too long, and their fear of them has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I am afraid that they will not dare to risk their lives to stand up. β
Huan Wen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty still underestimates the people's thirst for land, as long as the imperial court shows a tough attitude to support them, they will stand up even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire." β
"Of course, the strength of the warriors is strong, and they really have to prevent them from getting in the way. But dealing with them is too simple, all you need is one order. β
Wen Yi said a little unconvinced: "What kind of order can work so well?" β
Huan Wen said: "This order was given by the First Emperor, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also issued, that is, to move the rich families of the world to the land of Gyeonggi. β
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, this sentence was like a lightning bolt splitting the fog in his heart, allowing him to see the road ahead.
Huan Wen continued: "Both Emperor Shi and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once ordered the relocation of wealthy families from all over the country to settle in Gyeonggi, and many people thought that it was to build Gyeonggi with the help of rich households. β
"There are even people who think they have a good face and use this to decorate the faΓ§ade."
"Actually, the real purpose is to weaken the power of the local powerful and facilitate the management of the state. As for the construction of Gyeonggi with the financial resources of the wealthy households, it was only incidental. β
"After Your Majesty destroys the Jin Kingdom, you can also do this strategy and move all the rich and powerful families of the Shi clan to the designated place."
"Then they will not be able to restrain the locality, and Your Majesty will be free to implement new policies at will."
"Under Fang today, the most powerful and promising one in the Central Plains to dominate the world is the Three Kingdoms of Jin, Yan and Qin. If you take the two countries of Jin and Yan, the rest of the countries and many forces can be determined. β
"Bang!" Wen Yi slapped the table and said happily: "Haha...... Okay, well, General Huan's words woke up the dreamer. I really underestimated the strength of the Tang Kingdom and overestimated the strength of the Shi clan. β
"In front of the firearms and Junda, they are a group of paper tigers, which look terrible but are actually vulnerable."
Huan Wen was relieved to see that his suggestion was adopted. After all, he had just surrendered, and he had denied the national policy of the Tang State, which was indeed easy to arouse the disgust of the other party.
It was because Wen Yi's previous performance was generous enough that he would say this.
Wen Yi has never dragged his feet in doing things, and immediately ordered He Fang, Liu Meng, Li Zhong and others to return to the camp to discuss the matter.
But the operation in the north did not stop, and continued to receive the cities of the Yan Kingdom.
It's just that they didn't immediately implement the new policy, governing the world is different from fighting the world, it must be stable, and being too radical can easily cause unnecessary losses.
Take over first, and then reform when the situation is stable.
In addition, the work of taking over the Jin army was also carried out in an orderly manner. Huan Wen controlled all the generals who might oppose in advance, so that the takeover of the Tang State was carried out more smoothly.
The methods of transformation are not new, they are all old methods.
First, white rice and canned meat opened the way to reduce resistance. Fortunately, Tang Guo's material reserves are sufficient, otherwise the problem of rations for these hundreds of thousands of newly surrendered soldiers alone would not be solved.
Then he reminisced about the bittersweet and bitter thoughts, criticized himself, and publicized policies such as equalizing land and exempting from excesses and miscellaneous taxes.
A set of combination punches came down, and most of them fell to Tang Jun. The reason why some of them did not defect is because they have not seen the implementation of these policies with their own eyes, and they will inevitably have doubts in their hearts.
In this interval, Wen Yi met Wang Meng again. The two talked a lot about governing the country, and they both felt that they had gained a lot.
A day later, Wen Yi gave him a full set of books, including "Rights and Responsibilities", "Chinese Civilization", "Brief Chapters of Tang Law", "Tang Li" and other books, but did not give him a world map.
Then they let him go. Of course, the 50,000-strong army was left behind, and only his pro-army camp was spared.
"The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and it is also the time for reunification. Although I have never met King Qin, I have heard of his deeds and admire him very much. β
"After Wang Xianggong goes back, persuade him well, I really don't want to meet him."
Wang Meng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely tell the King of Heaven what I have seen and heard." As for the choice of the Heavenly King, it is beyond my control. β
"But the King of heaven is gracious to me, and I will follow him to the death whatever he chooses, if ...... I hope Your Majesty will not blame you. β
Wen Yi sighed: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, I understand." Wang Xianggong said goodbye, looking forward to drinking and talking when he said goodbye, please. β
Wang Meng bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, farewell." β
Looking at Wang Meng who was far away, Wen Yi was very reluctant in his heart. There are many heroes in the world, but I have to admit that there are always a few that stand out more.
Wang Meng is such a person.
In this era, only Murong Ke and Xie An can compare with him, and Huan Wen is a step behind.
It's a pity that heroes have masters.
As for what choice Fu Jian will make, in fact, Wen Yi already has a guess that he will not surrender.
Or that it is not up to him to decide whether he surrenders or not.
The strength of the Fu clan was too great, and the resistance he encountered in surrendering would be unimaginably great. If it was forcibly surrendered, the Qin state would immediately be torn apart.
The reason why Wang Meng was still allowed to go back was just to make a final attempt.
After more than half a century of war, China is so short of population that it can protect one more.
Of course, the real reason for letting the king go away is the absolute crushing of strength, otherwise he would not let the tiger return to the mountain if he was killed.
However, after he left, Wen Yi still ordered Li Zhong to go to Jinyang to take over Sun Xiu and Ding Chang's army, and prepare to enter the customs.
Sun Xiu and Ding Chang are also old men in Langhu, but their abilities can only be said to be average, and they were promoted to brigade commanders in the third batch. It's okay to fight a tailwind battle, but the war to destroy the country is too much to be caught.
Li Zhong followed Wen Yi as early as the time when he was a homeless camp in Huiji County, and he was a confidant among his henchmen.
The comprehensive ability can only be said to be okay, the victory lies in being stable and good at scheduling, and with the blessing of firearms, it can also lead an army to fight.
There is not much of a problem for him to preside over the entry into the customs.
In fact, Wen Yi would prefer to let He Fang or Liu Meng go, this is the real commander-level general. But now that they are ready to change their plans to attack Jin, they can't let the two of them go.
After all, the strategic position of the Jin State was much higher than that of the Qin State.
Seven days later, He Fang, Liu Meng and others all returned from the front line, and Wen Yi held a military meeting, attended by Huan Wen.
The thing to discuss was whether to send troops to the Jin Kingdom, and if so, how to carry out military operations.
Hearing this topic, He Fang and the others subconsciously looked at Huan Wen.
It is not difficult to guess that the emperor suddenly changed the established strategy, and someone must have persuaded him.
Huan Wen is a famous talent, and the fact that he appeared directly in this kind of meeting as a subordinate already speaks for itself.
But the generals were very happy about this change.
He Fang said: "We all know that firearms are powerful, but we don't know until we actually experience actual combat, and we still underestimate them. Even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, I'm ready to play a direct attack on the Jin Kingdom. β
Liu Meng also said: "Yes, I can't believe that the war is going well." But when he reacted, he found that now was the best time to attack Jin. β
Xiao Baishan also said: "General Huan was attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the Jin State lost 200,000 troops when the troops were empty, and it was the right time to attack the Jin. β
Pan Yue also said: "In the past, we were worried that the strong and powerful Shi clan was too strong to rule, but now that we have a way to deal with them, I also think that we can attack Jin." β
The rest of the people also spoke one after another, all of them supported the attack.
Wen Yi no longer hesitated, and said, "Okay, then attack the Jin Kingdom, let's discuss how to send troops." β
