Chapter 7 I forged the soul of Han in the Three Kingdoms
7.47 Jiangdong Secret Conference, Beidi Female Official

At the same time, Jianye, Yangzhou Mufu lobby, Sun Group staff meeting.

"My lord has already conveyed everything that the eldest lady said. I don't know if you have anything to say?" As the No. 1 under Sun Ce in the entire Jiangdong power, Zhou Yu asked after Sun Ce finished speaking.

Sun Shangxiang's large-scale return to Ning certainly cannot be entirely due to homesickness. In other words, reuniting with her relatives is just a "add-on" in a sense. Her main purpose is to send a message to her family, and the content is to give Jiangdong a message. terms of surrender.

There are three obligations. The first is to hand over all military territory, which cannot be discussed. The second is that all the Sun family members in Jiangdong move to the capital, which is also not discussed.

Third, each family in Jiangdong must strictly follow the current policies of Beiland in the future, including handing over the vast majority of land to state ownership, not allowing land annexation, abiding by relevant laws, etc.

There are many benefits. First, all talents will be retained in other places, including Sun Ce himself; second, everyone in the country will be treated equally in the future, and there will be no need to worry about settling accounts after the fall, as Sun Shangxiang can prove.

She is also an incomparable military general now, and her reputation in the world is not only due to her status as a future queen.

The third item is the real fat, that is, the Sun family can be allowed to participate in future state-owned projects, such as road construction, city building, etc. In addition, if the Sun family can establish territory overseas, Deng Feng is willing to give his endorsement. .

In other words, there is no place for them in the world now, but if they can succeed overseas, Deng Feng not only has no objection, but is also willing to support them.

As for whether Sun Shangxiang can't bear it because he was born in Jiangdong, that's just overthinking.

Now the entire Northland forces know that Deng Feng has completely handed over power to Deng Chengye. He basically does not care about any affairs on weekdays. Even the intelligence system has been gradually handed over from Xiao Zhao to Sun Shangxiang.

Once the world is unified in the future, she will be the undisputed queen!

Of course, she is definitely not the only one around Deng Chengye now. The problem is that there is no comparison with others in terms of status. Even Zhen Mi, the fifth child of the Zhen family in Jizhou who is currently second only to her, actually only serves tea in front of her. For water.

There was nothing to talk about emotionally. She had been engaged to Deng Chengye since she was a child, and Deng Feng personally took her home. The two grew up together, practiced martial arts together, and studied together.

What they call "childhood sweethearts" is tailor-made for them. It's even the first time for each other, and there is no barrier at all between them.

As for the subsequent women, even Zhen Mi, whose appearance, temperament and personal qualities were no less than hers, were mostly due to external reasons. As for feelings, that was all.

In addition, she has been trained as a queen since she was a child, and she has the words and deeds of the "predecessor" Queen Mother He. Sun Shangxiang is not the savage girl in history who likes to carry a sword, but the whole government and the public are convinced of the "mother's love for the world". "Choice.

This point is actually demonstrated in all aspects, the most direct one is the aspect of heirs. After all, the entire feudal era emphasized that "the three most unfilial ones are not having descendants", and "the elders and the younger are in order, and the descendants are distinguished".

Deng Chengye currently has three children, two of them, including the only son, are born of Sun Shangxiang, and one daughter is born of Zhen Mi, and all other concubines have no heirs.

Not only that, Sun Shangxiang returned to Ning this time because he was pregnant with the fourth and third child of the Deng family.

With her identity, even after the world is unified in the future, as long as she doesn't seek death, no one can touch her. Knowing this, the entire Deng Chengye backyard is very stable, and no one who is short-sighted dares to jump around at will.

The camera returns to the lobby of Yangzhou Mufu.

"I am the first to disagree. Ce'er, this Jiangdong foundation was built by two generations of my Sun family. Do you want to hand it over to others?" No one expected that just when Zhou Yu finished speaking, Wu Guotai came from We entered the lobby at the door and expressed our opposition clearly.

After Zuo Ci's body was destroyed, no matter where his spirit is hiding now, he will definitely not be able to use any means against others in a short period of time. People who were originally affected by his illusion and hypnosis will naturally recover with the passage of time.

It's just those forces who chose to join Sun Ce during the process of pacifying Jiangdong. Once the alliance is completed, it is difficult to go back on it. No matter how deep your inner opinions are, you can only hold them in for now, otherwise you will not be able to escape the label of a "traitor".

Others don't know. Anyway, no one knows or pays attention to it. Mrs. Wu and Wu Guotai sisters were all so ashamed and angry that Mrs. Wu died several years earlier than in real history. However, Wu Guotai still lived so long.

As for Sun Quan, after everyone in the core of the Sun family understood the situation clearly, especially after Sun Shangxiang came back to explain clearly, he was immediately ordered to "study behind closed doors" by Sun Ce. Unfortunately, he "died" of illness a few years ago.

Mrs. Wu was still alive at that time, but her biological mother didn't say a word about it, let alone anyone else.After all, it is no secret that Sun Quan has ideas about that position. Basically, anyone with some common sense can see it.

Sun Ce's killing him was completely justified, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

They were Sun Ce, or rather ministers of the eldest son of the Sun family. Sun Quan, the direct descendant but the second-ranked person, had to be prepared to die if he dared to have thoughts about that position.

This is the iron law of feudal society.

"Lord, Madam, when the eldest lady came back, everyone must have seen the battleship she was on and the other battleships behind it, right?"

As the well-deserved leader of Jiangdong’s civil servants in both real history and the current timeline, and also the leader of the peace faction, Zhang Zhao immediately turned the question to "the enemy is invincible."

Since Sun Shangxiang came back to persuade her to surrender, she would definitely not think that relying on words would be enough, so she also brought a fleet. In fact, there were not many ships, just six. Only her car was a real large warship, and the others were not too big. big.

The problem is that the power of a battleship depends not only on its size, but also on other aspects of professional design. In the real world, there are many cruise ships of [-] tons, but they cannot defeat even a small gunboat of [-] tons.

Because of his experience in the world of "Heroes", Deng Feng's naval construction in the world of Gaowu's "Three Kingdoms" took many detours and shortened a lot of processes.

Even if artillery weapons could not be developed at all, Deng Feng copied the sailing battleships of the year, but gave up the first-level battleships, and there were very few second-level battleships. There are also a lot of sex boats.

The weapons of these battleships could not use artillery, so they were replaced with ballistae and bed crossbows.

The two weapons are essentially the same, except that the bed crossbow mainly fires various spear-type crossbow arrows, as well as spindle-shaped blunt arrows for city-breaking arrows.

The ballista is mainly used to launch various projectiles, such as solid iron bullets, coking residue coal tar cans, fire attack powder packs, smoke powder packs, etc. With the combination of the two, the lethality can be called fear.

At the same time, each warship will also be equipped with a varying number of close combat personnel on board, ready to jump into gangs to fight at any time. This is also a naval warfare strategy throughout feudal society, and it was not eliminated until the era of ironclads.

These people are also well-equipped, which is terrifying at least compared to other warlords of this era. They basically have standard steel plate armor, a long-handled ring-head sword of about one meter, and the standard winch infantry crossbow for all combat units.

In terms of quantity, basically one main third-level battleship can carry about 70 crossbows/ballistas, and a few second-level battleships can even carry more than 100. Such battleships are simply not comparable to the "navy" of this era. of.

When Sun Shangxiang came, he was driving a second-level battleship. Deng Feng had less than ten such warships in total. Following three third-level battleships, Deng Feng had more than a hundred in his hands.

The remaining two are supply ships, which are not small in size but basically have no armaments.

After these warships arrived, they used an old ship that had been purchased long ago as a target ship and performed a firepower display to the upper echelons of Jiangdong. After that, no one in the entire Jiangdong Navy dared to speak.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Zhao was actually very polite. If he were a military commander who spoke straightforwardly, he would really dare to ask, "Can you beat me?"Even so, everyone at the scene understood what he meant, so much so that there was even a bit of dead silence in the entire lobby. "Anyone east of the Yangtze River can surrender, but the Lord alone cannot surrender." Zhou Yu, the leader of the generals, said helplessly, and what he said was an eternal saying, but the effect was really mediocre.

Whether Jiangdong can hold it depends on the combat power of the navy. Otherwise, with Jiangdong's total land force of less than 20, half of which is militia, it is estimated that the Northern Army can completely crush it.

The reason why they dared to hold on in the past was actually because they had confidence in the navy. However, after seeing the combat power of the Northland Navy, they found that their own navy had also been crushed. If they continued to fight, they would be destined to die. Naturally, they lost their morale.

Anyway, they have promised that all the surrendered personnel will be treated equally and will be retained in different places. It is just a matter of moving. Where can they become officials?

What, the lord may face a life and death test?

Fuck me!

Even many veteran ministers and generals who followed Sun Jian from the beginning stopped talking, such as the famous Huang Gai in history, who just sat there silently at this moment.

Anyway, I am following the Sun family now. At worst, I will follow the eldest lady in the future, and the younger masters born to the eldest lady will actually be the descendants of the old master, they are the same!
Knowing that you are going to die, you can still bear it regardless of the cost, unless it is a moment when there is no way to retreat, at least the current situation is not to that extent, and there is no need to bear it to the death.

Even for Zhou Yu, it is hard to say how much he is loyal to Sun Ce. He is the number one general in Jiangdong, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. When he is under the command of Deng Feng, he has nothing to do. To the sky, it is nothing. He's just a landowner general.

"If it were other princes, I wouldn't dare to say anything. But if it's Deng Zhengbei, and the eldest lady wants to make peace, I think it's okay." Zhang Zhao continued to persuade him to surrender.

"Although the eldest lady has a respected status, she is just a female. How can she be a guarantee?" Zhou Yu said disdainfully.

"In other places, it is indeed not allowed for women to have sex; but under Deng Zhengbei's rule, it is not impossible for women to speak." No one expected that it was Wu Guotai who spoke this time.

"It's just that if my Sun family's century-old foundation is lost, and my old age will be a hundred years later, how dare I go to see my husband!"

In fact, even if she were to die now, she would probably end up being beaten to death again when she got to Sun Jian's place - ahem!
But as soon as she finished speaking, the scene became even more silent, because everyone knew that Deng Feng valued women.

Over a period of 14 years, many of the policies Deng Feng set back then have now taken root and even flourished.

The most famous and criticized one is the emphasis on women and Deng Feng's frequent propaganda that "women are half the sky." Even Confucianists who initially greatly approved of Cai Yan's rise to power now denounce this approach.

It's a pity that it's of no use, and it's not them who have the final say.

Deng Feng's talent selection policy is actually very simple. It is a copy of the real civil service system. The name is also the imperial examination system, but the test questions are greatly simplified, but it also includes literature (official document writing), mathematics, social knowledge, agricultural knowledge, legal knowledge, etc. and other aspects.

After passing the exam, they are not directly given to chief officials such as county magistrates. Instead, they start from the grassroots level. Each of the three levels of county, county and township has its own assessment standards. Those who pass the exam will be retained at that level. This is different from the real society. it's the same.

This policy immediately used strict rules to expel the children of the aristocratic families, and it was clearly stipulated that except for women, they were not allowed to refer to it. Of course, those few aristocratic families who had already taken refuge with Deng Feng definitely did not fall into this category.

Most ordinary people are illiterate at all, and they actually don't benefit much. The ones who benefit the most are the Confucians, but they are also the ones who cause the most shit.

Deng Feng's solution to this problem is also very simple. He established many of his policies in the capital in the form of "building a monument"-Deng Feng had already moved the government back to the capital.

In the center of the open space directly in front of the palace, next to the monument to the fallen heroes, anyone who dares to raise objections to these will be expelled from the court and banned from participating in the imperial examination for three generations.

The world has become peaceful, but even the Confucian "masters" who boast all day long that "might cannot be bent, wealth cannot be lascivious, poverty cannot be moved" only dare to complain in private.

At present, the entire Northland official system has even formed a routine. For example, in the parallel system where the local top leader is responsible and the five chief officials are in parallel, most of the time there is a female chief official, and most of the time it is the one in charge of supervision.

Deng Feng has always spared no effort and made no secret of his suppression of the family in all aspects.

But his official system actually greatly expanded the number of officials, and coupled with the staff working under these officials, the number of people who received imperial food in the entire official system increased significantly compared with before.

However, Deng Feng's policy towards the aristocratic family was "don't use it unless you can use it except for women", which indirectly led to a certain degree of talent shortage, and also created a very interesting situation, that is, most of the local female officials were born in Family.

That is to say, in recent years, with the popularization of open education, there has been a certain improvement.

The problem is that Deng Feng’s open education system is not compulsory education. Although the tuition fees have been significantly reduced, one still has to have some financial resources to afford it. So much so that the entire supervision system is almost controlled by women from aristocratic families. In a sense, they are an alternative to aristocratic families. "Counterattack".

At present, there are many women in the Deng family who hold official positions. In fact, except for Xiaolongnv and Xiaohu, everyone else has positions.

Including Cheng Lingsu's head of military equipment and logistics, and Xiao Zhao's head of intelligence, but the most famous one is Cai Yan. This girl is now the number one civil servant, the de facto prime minister, and has convinced all the civil officials.

In addition, Sun Shangxiang in the next generation has taken over the positions of Ma Yunlu and Xiao Zhao. He is currently the commander of the female guard camp and the head of the intelligence department. Zhen Mi is the housekeeper of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the head of the royal industry. Sun Shangxiang serves as his deputy and is actually in charge of the female guard camp.

In addition to the women of the Deng family, other senior female officials include Zhen Jiang, Minister of Commerce, and Zhen Tuo, Zuo Shilang, both of whom were wives of Xu Shu.

The general person in charge of Bingzhou Camp used to be Zhao Yun, but now he is replaced by his wife Ma Yunlu.

Huang Yueying, Minister of Industry, did not marry Zhuge Liang for some unknown reason. She came to Beidi as "Huang Zhong's niece" a few years ago and was promoted and appointed by Deng Feng.

Deng Feng really didn't know that Huang Zhong was actually from a branch of the Huang family in Jingzhou, the same family as Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying. This girl had always been nicknamed "A Chou". Deng Feng discovered that she was actually a mixed race, and her mother was one of Huang Chengyan's children. Orchid's concubine's room.

The so-called "A Chou" is actually a big beauty with blond hair and blue eyes, protruding forward and backward, but it is completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of this era, so that she has not married yet.

Diao Chan, Minister of the Propaganda Department, is that Diao Chan, Lu Bu's wife. Lu Bu passed away a few years ago due to physical reasons. She came out for Lu's sake. Deng Feng asked her to organize a cultural troupe to be responsible for publicity matters.

In addition to these, there are actually many female officials, but they are not famous.

"Don't forget, everyone, Deng Zhengbei never used children from aristocratic families. Are you going to learn from those former northern aristocratic families in the future? The honor and disgrace of the entire family are all tied to women?" Zhou Yu caught this and snorted coldly. said.

This time, even Zhang Zhao just opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything else.

In fact, he was already well prepared for this. Anyway, his two daughters had outstanding literary talents. When the time came, they were sent to Cai Yan to study with Cai Yan for two years in the name of Confucian disciples. After they came out, they would continue to support the family.

The problem is whether this matter can be done or not, at least not right now. Even Zhang Zhao himself knows that in fact, most of the major families in Jiangdong have made preparations for this, and even have their candidates ready.

"Then let's wait for now. We'll have to fight at least once." Sun Ce actually didn't want to surrender.
