Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 360 Yanhou (VIII)

东郡
Puyang
Dongjun used to be Cao Cao's first territory, and it was also the "honeymoon period" between Cao Cao and Chen Gong. It is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it was the forward position of Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Shao.

Baima City is an ordinary county town in Dongjun.

Cao Cao was raided on the Kaifeng Plain, and the news that only more than 1000 remnants of the defeated soldiers had fled back to Xuchang spread to Puyang, and everyone in Dongjun was terrified.

They are too close to Yuan Shao's territory, right next to each other, now that Cao Cao has suffered a disastrous defeat, who will protect them?

When the governor of Dongjun learned that Wang Jue was heading to Puyang with tiger and leopard cavalry, he hesitated very much.

He wanted to surrender, but he didn't want to fight stubbornly, but Cao Cao implemented the "hostage system". All Cao Cao's subordinates had to send their family members to Xuchang as hostages for Cao Cao. Once the frontline officials betrayed Cao Cao, Cao Cao would kill their relatives.

In this way, the generals guarding the city can only defend the city and dare not surrender to the hostile forces.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want my mother to die, what should I do?" The prefect of Dongjun was at a loss.

Wang Jue is naturally well aware of the entanglements in the hearts of these local officials in the Cao Cao ruled area.

Therefore, he specially invented a [fake death system] for the [hostage system], that is to secretly contact the defender who wants to surrender, and he can help him to fake death, that is, the other party pretends to be unable to defend the city, and then is captured by Wang Jue. Then Wang Jue pretended to order the other party to be executed, but when it came time to execute the death sentence, he first disfigured a death row prisoner, and then executed the death row prisoner, declaring to the outside world that he had executed the "recalcitrant" local governor.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, if you can implement the hostage system, I can implement the suspended death system.

A few days later, through secret contact, the prefect of Dongjun understood what he should do, so he went up to the city wall and called on the soldiers to defend the city. At the same time, he deliberately ordered people to set fire to the city, and then let most of the soldiers return to the city. Go to fight the fire, leaving only a few soldiers on the city wall to "guard".

Sure enough, Wang Jue captured Puyang City with ease under such a double reed, and promoted this model, completely occupying the entire East County.

However, the news received by Xuchang was like this: Every chief of Dongjun was defending, and unfortunately they were all captured in the end, and then executed by the big devil Wang Jue, but Dongjun was all captured in the end.

Although the territory was lost in the end, the local officials had "died in battle" and did not surrender, so not only could Cao Cao not harm their families, but he had to treat their families preferentially as martyrs.

In this way, the section of the Yellow River from Sishuiguan to the mouth of the Yellow River was finally completely controlled by Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao only controls the short section of the Yellow River waterway from Hangu Pass to Luoyang to Sishui Pass.

Wang Jue was appointed as the prefect of Dongjun. On holidays, he supervised all the military forces in Yanzhou, added food to one thousand households, and rewarded two thousand gold.

Wang Jue also implemented the farming system in Dongjun, and sent the captured Cao soldiers to Yecheng, far away from Cao Cao, to farm, and let those wounded soldiers from Hebei Yuan Jun farm in Dongjun.

This is to prevent Cao Jun's soldiers from running back to Xuchang, so Yuan Jun's soldiers and Cao Jun's soldiers are deliberately changed.

As Yuan Shao let Wang Jue start to rule Dongjun, the Wang family's fleet also returned to the Central Plains.

Wang Xiao specially ran from Yecheng to Puyang, searched a large number of doctors, craftsmen, and scholars in Dongjun, and forcibly transported them all to the ship, and then took them to the Wang family's overseas territory.

For a while, the gentry in Dongjun complained, they didn't expect that the Liaodong royal family, which ranked third in the world, would be so rude to other gentry and capture them like piglets.

The reputation of the Wang family in Liaodong has also been continuously reduced. In such a "big capture" of the gentry like catching Pokemon, the Wang family's reputation has dropped from the previous ranking of the third place to the top ten.

But Wang Xiao obviously doesn't care about this. In this chaotic world, strength is the most important thing. As long as the reputation is barely enough, it doesn't need to be too high.

Every scholar is a "Pokemon" in the eyes of the Wang family, who will be captured by the Wang family and transported overseas for use at any time.

There are too few talents in our Wang family, and overseas territories need a lot of talents to manage. You Pokemon are just right for you. Go to overseas grassroots positions and sweat your sweat. Don't stay in the Central Plains and wait to die!

Current family reputation ranking:

[First: Runan Yuan's

Second: Hongnong Yang

Third: Yingchuan Xunshi

Fourth: Xiapi Chen's

Fifth: Hanoi Sima
Sixth: Lu Family of Wu County

Seventh: Yingchuan Chen

Eighth: Qinghe Cui

Ninth: Taiyuan Wang

Tenth: Langya Wang Clan

……

No.18: Liaodong Wang's]

These are just the level of fame, not about the strength of the family.

Not only that, but Wang Jue was also engaged in "beating the local tyrants and dividing the land" in Dongjun, confiscated the homes of the powerful nobles in Dongjun, and then distributed the land to his Tiger and Leopard Knights. Each Tiger and Leopard Knight was allocated thousands of acres of land. At the same time, those people who became refugees due to the war were assigned to the tiger and leopard knight soldiers as tenant farmers, thus establishing a set of "Xiaoxi Zhou" enfeoffment system.

He, Wang Jue, is equivalent to "Zhou Tianzi", and every tiger and leopard knight soldier is equivalent to "princes".

Every tiger and leopard knight soldier has his own small manor, his own fiefdom, and his own servants. They are soldiers of Wang Jue, and at the same time they are small local nobles.

Wang Jue would not show any mercy to the rebellious gentry. They were all arrested and sent overseas, and the family land was directly confiscated.

Although my Wang family is a noble family, my Wang family also wants to "check the population per mu of land", but only our Wang family is allowed to check the population per mu of other people's fields, and others are not allowed to check the population per mu of our Wang family.

The imperial power is essentially just the most powerful gentry, so when the gentry become stronger, they will do some things that only the imperial power does, which is normal.

A large number of hidden household registrations and fields were found out, which gave Wang Jue a large number of land populations that could be used for enfeoffment, but at the same time, it also caused a large number of Dongjun gentry to rebel.

The land population is limited, if you don't grab the land population of your gentry, what will I give to my tiger and leopard knight soldiers?

another year later
Dong'e County

puff!

"what!--"

The Cheng family of Dongjun couldn't bear it anymore and chose to rebel, and was immediately suppressed by Wang Jue with four thousand tigers and leopards riding iron and blood.

During this year, Wang Jue selected elite officers from Yuan Jun's officers and made them ordinary soldiers of tiger and leopard riders, and promised them that as long as they made military exploits, they could also get a thousand acres of land and twenty tenants. As a fiefdom, it has been enshrined in Yin's descendants ever since.

This Dongjun Cheng family is Cheng Yu's family. Although they were forced to accept Wang Jue's rule, their hearts still belong to Cao Cao.

For this kind of gentry, Wang Jue was merciless in the investigation, and even the barren fields had to be counted and taxed.

In the end, the Cheng family was forced to rebel, and then the Cheng family was suppressed by the Tiger and Leopard Knights who were eager to make contributions and wanted to expand the fiefdom.

"The Cheng family's servants and fields belong to you!"

"The first one to kill the Cheng family's manor can get the Cheng family's young lady as a concubine!"

Wang Jue has a lot of ways to deal with the mob of the gentry.
