Great Military Division

Chapter 153 First, the soldiers, let the Nanyang clan bleed
I have been studying with the military division alliance for half a year, especially for the gentry in Nanyang, the military division alliance has carried out a comprehensive introduction.

but
The deeper the understanding, the more confused and curious Liu Bian became.

As the hometown of the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang, the land of Longxing, had a high status in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Whether it was a powerful gentry or an ordinary person, the court had rewards and favors.

In the court hall in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang people had an absolute advantage.

Among the 28 Yuntai generals, Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Cen Peng, Zhu You, Ma Wu, Liu Long, Ma Cheng, Chen Jun, and Ren Guang were all from Nanyang, and Li Tong was not even included in the 28 generals. , also from Nanyang.

The three founding fathers of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, were Da Situ Deng Yu, Sikong Li Tong, and Da Sima Wu Han. They were still from Nanyang.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Guangwu decided to retire the meritorious officials and civil servants, and the military meritorious groups all returned home as princes and no longer participated in the government, but there were three exceptions: Deng Yu, Li Tong, and Jia Fu, who were still from Nanyang.

To put it bluntly, the start of the Nanyang gentry in the Eastern Han Dynasty was explosive, and no one could compete with it. Even the earliest wealthy group that was officialized and classicized was still the Nanyang gentry group.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Nanyang gentry group does not have many families that can be sold.

Not to mention the Hongnong Yang family and the Ruyang Yuan family, but the family history. The well-known first-class families in China, Yingchuan Chen family, Xun family, and Zhong family are all hard to compare.

Even families like the Jiangxia Huang family, Longkanghuan family, Boling Cui family, and Taishan Yang family at the next level are more capable than the Nanyang gentry group.

Obviously drive high and go low!

What happened to the Nanyang Gentlemen Group?
On the officialization of the world, Nanyang Haozu was the first to start.

The Deng Yu family, the Laishe family, and the Yinshi family in Xinye, Nanyang, and the Feng Bream family in Huyang, Nanyang, all have successive crowns and have been officials for many generations.

In terms of Confucianism, Nanyang nobles are also the earliest group.

The Fanhong family in Huyang, Nanyang, and the Zhuhui family in Wancheng, Nanyang are the most outstanding representatives.

But even with such a great advantage, none of the Nanyang nobles could successfully transform into a wealthy family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This has to make people sigh.

"Master Bian, the experts say that your thinking about the Nanyang gentry has reached a very high level. Only when we understand the process and reasons for the rise and fall of the Nanyang gentry can we use this power better and more rationally."

To Liu Bian's question, the Alliance of Military Advisors gave a simple answer: "In fact, the decline of the Nanyang gentry, although each family has different reasons, but in the final analysis, there are probably three situations."

"First, the Deng family and the Yin family in Nanyang, while being high-ranking officials for many generations, are also turning into relatives! However, turning into relatives is a double-edged sword. The conflict is bound to end."

"This is the case of the Nanyang Yin family and the Deng family, especially the Deng family, which was wiped out twice due to foreign relatives, and finally completely withdrew from the power center of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Secondly, Zhu Mu, a descendant of the Zhu Hui family in Wancheng, Nanyang, is famous for his Confucian classics. He was as famous as Li Ying in Yingchuan and Chen Fan in Runan at that time."

"There are historical records: Lord Li's house in Yingchuan, 頵飂 (jūn) is like Yushan;

"From this we can see the status of Zhu Mu in Nanyang among the scholars, but unfortunately, this guy's fate is not very good. He was framed by the eunuch forces, which caused the imperial student Yi Que to write a letter."

"Emperor Huan ended up in power by eliminating the Liang family, and he was extremely sensitive to the faction of scholars and wealthy families. Coupled with the help of eunuchs, the radical behavior of Li Ying and others finally led to the first disaster of party imprisonment."

"But people in the world will always remember the heroes during the chaos, and ignore the causes of the chaos. This is the case of Zhu Mu. The first disaster of the party made the Ruying scholars, but the Nanyang nobles lost their leader Zhu Mu. The reputation lags far behind Ru Ying."

"As for the third reason, it's a family that eats and waits to die. Li Tong, Wu Han, Jia Fu, and Cen Peng have always been marquises. No political influence;”

Liu Bian suddenly realized and nodded: "So that's the case."

Military division alliance: "Master Bian, don't be sad. Although Nanyang is a typical temple with strong wind and shallow water, there are many toads, but ordinary people can't get along here, but Lord Bian can definitely do it."

Liu Bian frowned curiously: "Why? Is it because I am King Hongnong?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors said affirmatively: "That's right! The Nanyang gentry prospered because of Guangwu Liu Xiu, and they have a natural affinity for the clan of the Han Dynasty. Although there are various reasons for the decline of the Nanyang gentry, but looking at the Nanyang gentry, there are still struggling generations."

"Historically, Liu Bei established the Jihan regime, Nanyang Fan, Lai, Zong, and even Deng's Deng Zhi all served in Jihan, which is enough to prove this."

Liu Bian pondered for a long time, and said deeply, "That's right, even a Han clan like Liu Bei can recruit a large number of Nanyang gentry, and it's no problem for Hongnong Wang, who has a strong root like me."

"What's more, the Nanyang Deng family has followed. Although only a small number of trilogy have joined for the time being, it has made a good start. More and more noble families will definitely join in the future."

However.
Beautiful fantasies will always be ruthlessly wiped out.

The military division alliance once again poured cold water: "Master Bian, we can't wait for that time, since the Nanyang nobles have already expressed their support for you, they should take practical actions instead of just talking about it. "

"What the experts mean"

"It's very simple! Let the Nanyang gentry send troops and food, and set a deadline. Active participants will be included in the red list, and those who steal and rape and play tricks, and those who violate the law will be included in the black list. Sooner or later, they will be stabbed in the face."

"what?"

Liu Bian was surprised: "Is this possible? Will it cause Nanyang to shake? When we first came to Nanyang, we shouldn't focus on buying people's hearts. Peaceful coexistence is the kingly way?"

The military division alliance explained: "First, the situation does not allow you to be slow. If you do not quickly form an influence, Dong Zhuo will take advantage of the fact that the Kwantung gentry has not formed a scale, and get rid of you first, just like killing you with poison in history."

"Secondly, the Deng family in Nanyang has already set an example. The conditions for them to send troops and supplies are ripe. Is there any noble family in Nanyang that can compare with the Deng family? The eldest brother is bleeding, how dare the younger brother not bleed?"

"Thirdly, you are too young. Although you are blessed by the status of King Hongnong, if you don't have the means of thunder, you will not be able to deter the nobles in Nanyang. The combination of grace and power is the means that a king should have."

"Not only will this not shake Nanyang, but it will calm them down in a short period of time. Those who disobey will find a reason to kill them directly. They will kill chickens and monkeys, and integrate resources without delay."

"What's more, Tie Hanhan Sun Jian, a famous thug in the Three Kingdoms, is about to revolt. This kid killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and then led the army north to Nanyang. No matter what his purpose is, if he wants to subdue this force, it is not just relying on his status. So simple."

Makes sense!
Liu Bian's eyes brightened, as if he had opened the door to a new world: "And now there is an excellent reason, and it is logical to use Dong Zhuo to make troubles and rectify the Nanyang gentry."

"That's right!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors affirmed: "That's what the experts mean. Making good use of Dong Zhuo, the big villain, is much better than finding a reason to rectify Nanyang yourself."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Dry!"

Liu Bian has always been strict and strict, and never delays.

Now that we have a good strategy, we should implement it immediately and strike while the iron is hot: "Zhu Tong~~~"

Zhu Tong took a step forward: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Call Wen Ruo here quickly, I have something important to discuss."

"promise."

Zhu Tong agreed.

Immediately.

Bow and leave the room.

Not long after, Zhu Tong arrived with Xun Yu.

Liu Bian had already cooked the tea, he waved his hand to signal Xun Yu to sit facing him.

Xun Yu bowed, "Your Highness."

Liu Bian poured tea for Xun Yu himself: "Wen Ruo, how are you familiar with Nanyang's government affairs?"

Xun Yu took the tea with both hands: "It's all thanks to Your Highness's thunderous tactics, and the officials of the prefect's mansion have actively cooperated. The government affairs have been fully controlled, and I am preparing to take the time to report to Your Highness."

"No need!"

Liu Bian waved his hand, and immediately refused: "Wen Ruo is a talented person, a small Nanyang County is no problem, unless it is an urgent matter, there is no need to report everything to Gu."

"This"

Xun Yu was slightly startled, showing a little panic.

I have just arrived here, so what virtue and ability have I earned so much trust from His Highness, not only entrusting the sole authority of the unique Nanyang to myself, but I don't even bother to ask about the specific process.

Xun Yu's throat rolled: "I'm afraid it's not very good?"

Liu Bian was surprisingly indifferent: "There is nothing good or bad. Gu is very clear about your ability and loyalty. I can rest easy if I entrust Nanyang to your management."

"but."

Liu Bian changed the subject and went directly to the topic: "There is an urgent matter at the moment, and it needs to be discussed with you before it can be implemented."

Xun Yu asked tentatively, "I don't know what your Highness is doing?"

Liu Bian didn't talk nonsense: "Although under the influence of the Deng family, the Nanyang gentry have expressed their support for the lonely king, but what's the use of only verbal support? They must bleed a little to prove their loyalty."

hiss~~
Xun Yu was surprised, and his expression changed leisurely: "Could it be that Your Highness also wants to attack the Nanyang nobles?"

Liu Bian raised his eyes to look at Xun Yu, it was a good word "Ye", could it be that Xun Yu also had the same thought?
"Wen Ruo."

Liu Bian looked at the other party with great interest: "If you have any thoughts, you might as well speak up."

Xun Yu nodded and nodded: "Your Highness, recently the Sangong Shu has been widely circulated in the Kanto region. Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, Qiao Mao from Yanzhou, Yuan Shao from Bohai Sea, and Han Fu from Jizhou all responded, and the momentum has intensified."

"If my guess is correct, Niu Fu's sudden departure from Nanyang should be related to this matter, but he failed to kill His Highness after all, Dong Zhuo must be terrified, and it is very likely that he will send troops to attack Nanyang again."

"We are newcomers, and we only have thousands of soldiers in our hands. How can we stop Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers? If we want to gain enough strength to counter Dong Zhuo in a short period of time, we must start from the Nanyang nobles."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu bowed solemnly: "I believe that Your Highness should use this as an excuse to ask for troops, horses, money and food from the Nanyang gentry, so as to strengthen our army and at the same time screen the Nanyang gentry."

"When the Kwantung vassals become powerful and the heroes of the world respond, Dong Zhuo will not be able to target His Highness with all his strength. At that time, His Highness will be able to completely stabilize Nanyang. While sending elite soldiers to fight against Dong, he will turn around and attack those who violated Yin and Yin, so as to stabilize the foundation."

"I don't know."

Xun Yu tentatively asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

The corners of Liu Bian's lips twitched slightly: "The hero sees the same thing, Guzheng has this intention! However, since Wen Ruo thought of this, he should have a more specific strategy, right?"

Seeing that King Hongnong had no objection, Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief and nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

Liu Bian was overjoyed, waved his hands and said, "Just speak up."

Xun Yu took a deep breath: "Your Highness, when Tian Yu was sorting out Nanyang's government affairs these days, he learned that Zhang Zi had spent a lot of thought in order to stabilize Nanyang. Please restrain the other party."

"When Niu Fu arrested the He family, it was Zhang Zi who provided some evidence. Although it would not be enough to wipe out the three clans, but forcibly getting involved with His Highness is enough to carry out the arrest."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing?"

Xun Yu nodded: "Well, for Zhang Zi, these criminal evidences can only make him counter the powerful family at best, but for His Highness, it is a sharp murderous sword!"

Although the aristocratic families hold absolute means of production and have great local authority, they are after all in the territory of the Han Dynasty and need to abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Although the officials parachuted from the imperial court needed the absolute support of the gentry to survive and achieve political achievements, they did not really have to rely on others to treat them as grandchildren. The Han law was their greatest weapon.

obviously!
Zhang Zi is good at this and is practicing it.

It's a pity that Liu Bian beheaded him before he could draw his sword out of its sheath.

As for the preparations that Zhang Zi had made in the past six months, all of them were wedding dresses for Liu Bian to completely control Nanyang.

Liu Bian leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "Maybe there is a great crime committed by the Nengyi tribe?"

Xun Yu nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

"Oh?"

Liu Bian couldn't help being taken aback: "What crime?"

Xun Yu said in a soft voice, "I forged weapons privately."

hiss~~~
Liu Bian was startled and took a deep breath.

He thought that the Nanyang gentry were at best just hidden households, tax evaders, and tax evasion, but he didn't expect that someone would forge weapons privately. This is undoubtedly tantamount to treason!

Liu Bian frowned, and asked tentatively, "Is there any conclusive evidence?"

Xun Yu nodded: "Yes! Many gentry in Nanyang have private smelting workshops, and the government is only responsible for collecting taxes. All the gentry have their own private soldiers with weapons, but they are kept secret."

Liu Bian was surprised: "There is such a thing?"

"I heard that when the Yellow Turbans were raging in Nanyang, the major gentry stayed behind in order to protect themselves."

"I see."

huh~~
Liu Bian felt relieved when he heard the words, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Wen Ruo, since you have thought it over clearly, you should act accordingly. Let's give them a chance to show their loyalty."

Xun Yu saluted, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave this matter to you."

Liu Bian nodded: "Well, if you do things, don't worry about Gu! Just act boldly, Gu will always be your strong backing."

Xun Yu nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."
