contend

Chapter 850

The Jingzhou War exposed Wu's many weaknesses.

The most intuitive thing is that people's hearts are in turmoil, and it's all thanks to Lu Kang that they didn't collapse.

Since the annexation of the Central Plains, there have been as many as 19 generals before and after the surrender of the Wu army, most of whom led their troops or returned their cities to Qin.

The territory of Daqin directly reaches the Yangtze River.

At the beginning, the people of Wu had high hopes for Zhonghui, hoping that he would be Zhuge Liang who would help those in need, but after so many years, Jiangdong is still the same Jiangdong, and the situation in the middle school is not much better than when Sun Hao was in power, and local rebellions keep happening one after another. , the army was mobilized frequently, and the burden on the people was not relieved much. The secret fight between Zhong Hui and the Lu family made Jiangdong even more precarious.

Nursery rhymes spread like wildfire all over the country and spread to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Zhong Hui ascended to the position of Duke Yue, and his heart was clearly revealed.

People of insight in Jiangdong were disappointed.

In the north, the Great Qin ruled by doing nothing. In the past two years, the weather has been smooth, the land has been reduced across the Central Plains, Ma Long, Zhang Fu, Pang Qing and others have been appointed to suppress the gentry, the national power has continued to grow, and the control of the local area has also been strengthened.

The people in Jiangdong saw it, and the people in Jingxiang, Jiangxia, Huainan, Lingnan and other bordering places took their families and went to Daqin.

By the end of the year, the population counted by the counties exceeded the estimates of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Yang Zheng was overjoyed.

Population is not a simple data, but a signal of the healthy development of the country.

After Zhang Fu was transferred to Shandong, he saw immediate results. He specially dealt with the powerful gentry and cleared out a large number of people and fields.

However, within six months, there were as many as seventeen assassinations and attacks against him.

There were five times when "bandits" somehow broke into the city and attacked the government offices.

The confrontation between Shandong tyrants is more intense than that of Sichuan tyrants.

But Zhang Fu was a "comer", and he had been prepared for a long time. The [-] elite Chinese troops under his command threw down their helmets and armor on the "bandit".

The [-] cavalry stationed in Yanzhou responded to the sound and went straight to the bandit's lair.

When armed confrontation is impossible, it turns into gossip.

The impeachment of Zhang Fu from various counties in Shandong flew into Daxing City like snowflakes.

Yang Zheng just wanted to laugh at such things as corrupting the law, oppressing the good, colluding with thieves, having unruly intentions, etc.

The greater the movement, the stronger Zhang Fu's work.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used cruel officials such as Zhang Tang, Du Zhou, and Wang Wenshu to attack powerful and wealthy businessmen.

Cao Cao also used Man Chong, Yang Pei, Du Ji and others to suppress the powerful, even the clan.

Governing the country will definitely not be harmonious. Yang Zheng has never thought of putting Nanshan swords and guns into storage. Governing the world is like walking on thin ice. If you make a wrong step, you will be lost.

Cao Pi is like this, and so is Cao Rui. The Sima family in history seemed to have won, but they led Huaxia to the dark abyss. The Sima family was wrong from top to bottom...

Yang Zheng handed over all the memorials to the impeachment of Zhang Fu to the Zhen Fusi to check their background.

"Why doesn't father move Youzhou Haoqiang?" Yang Xu asked.

"Why do you say?" Yang Zheng smiled.

Yang Xu just found something to say, and the reason is naturally clear, "Youzhou is a place of bitter cold, if the strong can defend one side, resist the foreign race, suppress them, it will consume their strength, and the foreign race will grow stronger."

Yang Zheng nodded, "Xu'er can see the Yellow River?"

There is a saying in Ban Gu's "Hanshu": The river is turbid, and there are six buckets of mud for one stone in the water.In the Han Dynasty, the common people called it "Yellow River".

"Of course I've seen it, but it's often flooded."

"Everything has pros and cons. The river is turbid, but it can irrigate the fields on both banks. There is a saying in the art of war. Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. It is the way of the king. See the benefits as well as the harm. Weigh the pros and cons."

In fact, the main thing I want to talk about is balance.

Before time travel, Yang Zheng hated the nobles, but after so many years, he is no longer so naive.

Without the tyrants, there will be honorable clans, and without noble clans, there will be gentry in the localities...

There will always be something growing up silently.

There is always one that will suit you.

Without the relatives and eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties would have grown powerful nobles, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, without the powerful nobles, there would have been soldiers and generals...

The weak Song Dynasty has no soldiers and generals, and the whole country is full of unscrupulous literati, who are bullied by others on the forehead.

Yang Zheng felt that although the gentry were not very powerful, they still had a little bit of integrity, which was a little stronger than the literati in the Song and Ming dynasties.

"Your servant understands that the powerful gentry is the Yellow River, and if it floods, it will be suppressed." Yang Xu's eyes flickered.

Yang Zheng nodded in relief.

It is impossible to completely eliminate Hao Qiang, to be honest.

Unless Yang Zheng learns from Huang Chao, kills mountains of corpses and seas of blood, kills thousands of miles of uninhabited people in the Central Plains, and no chicken crows for hundreds of miles, and then dies by himself, another version of Wu Huan Hua will come.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent performance in Nanzhong." Zhao Ahqi reported.

"Nanzhong?" Yang Zheng had a bad feeling.

After watching the prelude, my heart suddenly felt cold, Huo Yi died of illness!
In the Battle of Wuling, Huo Yi personally took the lead. Although he was defeated, he also severely injured Lu Kang.

However, Huo Yi was already 67 years old at this time, and Nanzhong and Wuling in this era were places full of snakes, rats, ants, and miasma.

Huo Yi was already old, and after the defeat, he blamed himself, unfortunately, he fell ill, and was bedridden for three months, so he drove west.

"God bless me, I have lost one of my generals!"

At the beginning of the turmoil in Nanzhong, as long as Huo Yi nodded, he could separate himself and stand on his own. If Daqin wants to calm down this place, he must spend a lot of effort.

But he resolutely chose to return to Qin, and he was a model of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

This is the image of a scholar in Yang Zheng's mind.

Because of his presence in Nanzhong, Daqin has no worries.

The generals under his command, Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, Xie Xi, Meng Yue, Ma Rong, Li Song, Wang Cheng, Dong Yuan and others are all loyal and brave people.

"Confess Huo Biao as the governor of Nanzhong, inherit Huo Yi's title, and confer the title of Seventh Prince Yang Huang as the King of Dian to leave Nanzhong." After thinking for a while, Yang Zheng issued two edicts.

Huo Yi's eldest son died early, and the remaining two sons are mediocre. They are both civil officials. I am afraid it will be difficult to control the situation in Nanzhong. Only Huo Biao has been in the youth camp for many years. He is both civil and military. The most suitable candidate.

The seventh son, Yang Huang, is only 12 years old, but in extraordinary times, for the sake of the country, he can't control so much.

How many common people's children are already an indispensable labor force in the family at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Besides, letting him go to Nanzhong as a prince is not sending him to the battlefield.

As a Daqin clan, one must have the consciousness of sacrificing for the country.

"Father should posthumously serve as Governor Huo to show the imperial court's respect." Yang Xu reminded.

"Xu'er reminded me."

On the second day of the court, the ministers discussed, and Huo Yi was posthumously named Taiwei, and named Yunnan County Duke, posthumously named "Xiang".

There is virtue in creating land, labor in armor, meritorious service in work, success in cooperation and praise, and mighty virtue conquers Yuan.

Daxing held a three-day funeral for him to show his respect for Huo Yi.

Before leaving, Huo Biao knelt down in front of Yang Zheng with tears streaming down his face, "With the Huo family here, Nanzhong will always be the land of Great Qin!"

Yang Zheng encouraged, "The Huo family has always been loyal, why do you need to talk too much!"

The territory of Nanzhong is very large, and Daqin has not fully grasped it, let alone has the energy to manage it.

There are still many uninhabited areas in the Central Plains...

Therefore, it is the best choice to seal the Huo family and another prince.
