At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 230 The First Battle between Counties and Enfeoffments
November 37th, the th year of the First Emperor's reign.

Dominate the coalition camp.

"I didn't expect that Deng Zong would be the last one to enter Xianyang City." Yingbu said with a hint of jealousy.

If Ji Bu entered Xianyang and he was still reluctant to accept it, Deng Zong relied on his good luck to have known the King of Han early, worshiped the King of Han as his eldest brother, followed the growth of the Han army, and became the supervisor of the entire army, supervising them like Deng Zong. People, Yingbu, they always have some bad feelings.

Xu Fan interrupted angrily: "Then who do you think is more suitable? We entered Xianyang not to fight, but to appease the people. If you Yingbu has a murderous look on your face, the children in Xianyang City will be frightened."

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Don't tell me, King of Han. It's really like this. After Yingbo captured Xingyang, the children in Guanzhong didn't dare to cry when they heard Yingbo's name."

Yingbu was not angry when he heard this, but smiled proudly: "I didn't expect that even children in Guanzhong knew the name of a certain Yingbu. This is something that countless heroes have not done during the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period. "

Ji Xin said, "King of Han, news came from Deng Zong's supervisory army that the situation in Guanzhong has been controlled. Have you entered Xianyang?"

Yingbu also came and said with interest: "I also want to see what the Qin Palace looks like."

Xu Fan said: "There is no rush to enter Xianyang. We must first maintain the stability of Xianyang and Guanzhong. Since the Qin army has surrendered, Guanzhong is my Han's land. We must strive to ensure that no people starve to death again."

Xu Fan looked at his camp. Dozens of high-level officials were all generals. Except for Li Shiqi, there were no civil servants who were capable.

Xu Fan looked at Li Shiqi and said: "I appointed you as the internal history order to take over the entire government affairs of Guanzhong. I have only two requirements for you. One is to ensure that the people in Guanzhong receive relief and there will be no more starvation to death. In terms of people’s situation, the second is to equalize the land in Guanzhong as quickly as possible, so that there will be no wasteland in Guanzhong before spring starts today.”

This was not an easy task. Li Shiqi said seriously: "King Han, the purge of the Qin officials in Guanzhong must be suspended first, otherwise even if our army has enough food, it will not be able to distribute it."

Xu Fan thought for a while and decided to give some relief to the lower-level officials first, so he said: "With Qian Shi as the boundary, all Qin officials above Qian Shi will be purged. These officials will be accepted by Han officials. Those below Qian Shi will not be moved for the time being." ”

Li Shiqi said: "No!"

Then Xu Fan looked at Yingbu and others and said: "In the future, the scale of wars will not be so frequent, and the size of the Han army will gradually shrink, so you must be prepared to transfer to become county guards and other civil servants. Our Han army must not only To conquer the world on a horse, you must also learn to rule the world under a horse.”

Xu Fan pointed at Ying and preached: "During this period, you should consult more experienced Han officials and learn from their experience in managing politics."

Xu Fan's words just now startled Yingbu. Fortunately, the words that followed made them relieved, but they soon frowned. Although the King of Han did not abandon them, he wanted to transfer to a civil servant, and changing the track was a very difficult task. Tough stuff.

Although Xu Fan never stopped educating the Han army, most of the generals in the Han army still only knew 3000 commonly used words, and they had to rely on dictionaries. Liu Bang was a representative of educated intellectuals among Xu Fan's army.

Xu Fan looked at their ugly faces and said: "Handling government affairs is not as difficult as you think. As long as you can manage the subordinates well, a county governor can only have dozens or hundreds of officials at most. You are all A general who can command an army of tens of thousands can still do this."

Peng Yue scratched his head and said, "King Han, this seems to be different."

He had a hunch that his army might be among the first to be eliminated. His subordinates were not the confidants of the King of Han, but the King of Han could afford the position of governor with 2000 shi. Peng Yue did not feel that he was at a disadvantage, but he was worried that he would not do well.

Xu Fan said: "Don't worry, the Han Dynasty will establish a formal navy, and your army will not only not shrink, but also expand."

Xu Fan will not shrink Peng Yue's army. The ocean is a place of treasure. He will also plan to develop the ocean in the next step. Even fishing is enough to become another major source of food in the world. Now Xu Fan is only worried about Peng Yue's lack of sailors. , where will draw down his army.

Peng Yue was overjoyed that there was such a good thing.

The other generals looked at Peng Yue with jealous expressions, as he had taken all the good things, but when they thought that they couldn't even swim, they could only look at Peng Yue with envy.

After thinking about it, Xu Fan said to Ji Xin: "You go to Xianyang City to recruit some officials from the former Qin State. We Han people will set up a training class for Han officials to teach officers who are preparing to retire from the army how to handle government affairs."

It is still beneficial to be familiar with history. This is what we did back then, and it is the same now in another form.

Ji Xin nodded and said: "No!"

Ji Xin thought for a while and said: "The King of Han, King Zhao and Xie have been uniting and intend to make you the co-leader of the world. Shouldn't we also prepare to prevent another accident?"

Ji Xin and the others were disgusted by Qin Jia at first, and now that the King of Han has proclaimed himself emperor, they certainly don't want any more accidents to happen.

Ji Bu said: "King of Han, you have destroyed Qin Dynasty. With your prestige, you are enough to proclaim yourself emperor. Why don't you proclaim yourself emperor in the palace of Qin and tell the world that from now on you will be the common ruler of the world."

Yingbu and others were surprised and said: "Yes, now you, King of Han, should be proclaimed emperor."

Xu Fan said: "As the King of Han, I am entrusted to the people, and I must be recognized by the people of the world when I become emperor."

Xu Fan looked at Ji Xin and said: "Let me send each county under the Han Dynasty to select wise men, two from each county, and let them go to Guanzhong to discuss matters. If they agree that I will become the Han Emperor, then I will officially proclaim myself emperor in Guanzhong."

Ji Bu hesitated and said, "Why is the King of Han so troublesome?"

Xu Fan said: "The legal system of my great Han Dynasty is the people of the world. I have always said that I am ordered by the people. This Association of Sages is the representative of the people of the world."

Xu Fan also understood that this 'hui' would soon become the representative of the powerful in the world, but the way of the world is that wolves are in power, and there are many choices, and that's it.

In the two thousand years of feudal history of the Celestial Dynasty, among the hundreds of emperors, only a few can be called wise emperors. The number of emperors who truly cared about the people can be counted on one hand. Xu Fan extremely distrusts his descendants.

Two thousand years of history have told Xu Fan that emperors are unreliable, aristocrats are unreliable, and gentry are unreliable. People can only rely on themselves, and Xu Fan can only choose a system that is relatively not bad.

The experience of later generations told him that no matter how great a person is, he can only control what happened during his lifetime. As soon as this system came out, Xu Fan was sure that things would change after his death, and there might even be no need to wait for his death.

Therefore, Xu Fan's design of the Han Dynasty system was to let it go and try not to create too many obstacles in the class system. In the general direction, it should be conducive to promoting the development of science and productivity. Let him discover it and just wait for problems to arise before thinking about it. We need to find ways to change the system. After more than ten years of any system, we need to find ways to adjust it.

Xu Fan is very self-aware and will not think about the eternity. It is enough to be able to manage the present. Future generations will not listen to dead people. They will find ways to debug it themselves. When the system is too rigid and cannot solve any real contradictions, then just wait. With the subjugation of the country.

Yingbu and others could not understand Xu Fan's thoughts, but they felt relieved when they heard that Xu Fan was willing to proclaim himself emperor, because they could also feel that Xu Fan did not seem to want to proclaim himself emperor.

Ji Bu thought for a while and asked: "King Han, how should we treat the other princes who have joined forces? Their combined strength is not small."

Chen Xiao said in astonishment: "Brother Ji Bu wants to deal with other princes?"

Ji Bu nodded and explained his point of view: "Even if we capture Guanzhong and Shuzhong, there are still Qi, Wei, and Yan in the world. These princes occupy millions of people and can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, especially Qi. It is a country with a rich territory and a large population. When Qi State recovers, it is possible to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops, which is extremely detrimental to the rule of the Han Dynasty. "Ji Bu is the one who has the fastest change in thinking among the Han generals. , other Han generals still regarded themselves as generals of a vassal state, but Ji Bu now regarded the world as belonging to the Han Dynasty, so the former allies had now become enemies.

Chen Xiao instinctively spoke well of his cousin Xiang Yu and said: "The King of Qi has always been very respectful to the King of Han."

Ji Bu said calmly: "No matter how respectful Qi is, it can't change the fact that Qi has the strength to fight against my big man."

"Although King Jiu of Wei is respectful to the King of Han, the State of Wei is in the heart of my great Han Dynasty. Whether the State of Wei attacks Chen County to the south or attacks Sanchuan County to the west, it will be difficult for my great Han Dynasty to bear. So this The two princes must be dealt with. If they are not dealt with, the world will not be stable. "

Although Ji Bu said it calmly, the generals of the Han army felt chilled one by one. Their current allies would soon become enemies. This change made it difficult for them to react.

Ji Bu continued: "If we want to completely end the war, the world must be unified. If we, the Han people, cannot be unified in a short time, there will be too many variables later, and it will be even more difficult to unify."

Li Shiqi disagreed and said: "The system of prefectures and counties is not a good system. The Qin Dynasty is the best lesson. Those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those who do not have perseverance. If you don't have perseverance, you will spend too much time to ward off evil and do everything for your own benefit. The First Emperor The biggest mistake was not to enfeoff the people and suppress the world.”

Then Li Shiqi bowed his hands to Xu Fan and said, "Otherwise, the Han king's rebellion against Qin would not have been so successful. The Qin officials did not take the Qin world to heart, because this is not his country, this is the country of the First Emperor. Therefore, Qin officials from all over the country surrendered one after another when facing the heroes of the Six Kingdoms. In Chu State, which had a feudal system, even the weakest princes fought to the last moment for their own fiefdoms. These Qin officials and Chu State princes Performance, subordinates believe that the enfeoffment system is better.”

Ji Bu snorted coldly: "Li Neishi, don't you think that Qi and Wei are a serious concern for our great Han Dynasty?"

This really made Li Shiqi speechless. He really didn't dare to say this. Qi State has a large population and a wealthy country. It has been a powerful country for 800 years. Wei State's position is in the Central Plains again. Even if its strength is not Being strong can also bring huge damage to the Han Dynasty.

But Li Shiqi quickly retorted: "It is not necessary to eliminate these princes. It is also possible to relocate these princes. Like Zhao Wangxie, he only has Handan City left. We can move him to Daijun and let him As a acting king, Wei Wang Jiu can also move their country to the Jiangdong area, which is better than using war. "

Ji Bu said: "Wei Wang Jiu, Xiang Yu and others would like to go from the rich Central Plains Qi State to the barbaric land. Li Neishi's strategy sounds nice but is unrealistic."

Xu Fan immediately said: "Let's put this issue aside for now. After all, these princes are allies of our Han Dynasty. They have also treated us with respect in the past two years. Now that I, the Han Dynasty, have turned our backs and disowned them, attacking them is morally unjustifiable. The second one is the world." The people have experienced hundreds of years of cruel wars, and their hearts have been determined, even our soldiers. If we launch a war against the princes now, even the morale of our Han soldiers will not be very high. "

"The general trend of the world is overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. The last person to go against the general trend was the Qin Dynasty. I, the Han Dynasty, cannot be the next one, so within three years, our Han army will not start another war. As for the disputes between my great Han and the princes, we can discuss them together and use force as a last resort."

"As for worrying about the enemy's strength, as long as I, the Han Dynasty, always care about the people, the gap in strength between the Han Kingdom, which occupies most of the world, and the other princes will only become wider and wider. It should be the princes of the world who worry about us, rather than us worrying about the princes of the world. ”

What Xu Fan said was acceptable to the generals of the Han army at this time. After all, they suddenly changed from allies to enemies. This change was too fast. It was difficult for the generals of the Han army to adapt. You must know that many of them and the generals of the princes were the same. Friendship.

For example, Liu Bang and Zhang Er had a very good relationship. When they were in Sanchuan County, Liu Bang and Zhang Er arranged a marriage for their children. They were almost married. Now that they suddenly want to kill Zhang Er and the others, Liu Bang still There is lingering fear in my heart.

Zhou Shi, Ge Ying, Song Liu and other elders of Yang County were also old friends. They still felt very embarrassed when they attacked their old friends without any reason.

Xu Fan continued: "The first thing we have to do now is to stabilize Xianyang and Guanzhong, and the second is to send the armies of various princes out of Guanzhong in a friendly manner so that this joint alliance can end successfully. The third is to reward me. A hero since the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty."

When Yingbu and the others heard about the meritorious service, they immediately became excited and rewarded the meritorious service, not just them.

"First, ordinary soldiers are rewarded, then middle-level Han generals are rewarded. The rewards for you generals are at the end. Ordinary soldiers are mainly rewarded with land, money, iron tools and cloth, while middle-level officers are rewarded with land and money. As for your merits, Give fiefdom.”

Yingbu and others said excitedly: "The King of Han is wise."

This was the first time that Xu Fan clearly wanted to give them a fiefdom.

The words are divided into two parts.

Li Shiqi entered Xianyang, summoned all the Qin officials in Neishi County, and then in front of them, arrested the Qin officials who were above a thousand stones, and then built a high platform outside the Neishi Official Office and arranged hanging ropes.

A group of Han soldiers maintained order, and then loudly said: "People in Xianyang, if you are oppressed by Jiang Yu, Huang Hong~~ and other Qin officials, you can complain to the internal history, and we, the Han army, will definitely give you justice."

When the people of Xianyang heard this voice, a group of people quickly stood under the stage curiously. However, they were extremely surprised when they saw that the Qin official who was usually aloof and aloof was now wearing a high hat and was pressed down on the high platform like a prisoner. .

"Why was Mr. Jiang arrested? Didn't he always say that Xianyang belonged to his family?" A Xianyang citizen looked at this scene in shock.

To be able to have a salary of thousands of stones, still in Xianyang City, this is not only due to their high position and power, but also to having a deep family background to achieve this.

But the people in the imperial capital were well-informed after all. One person sneered: "In the past, the world of Qin was naturally owned by Mr. Jiang, but now Xianyang is owned by the Han Dynasty. Jiang Yu has naturally lost power. Now the Han Dynasty wants to put them on trial. Everyone has Revenge for revenge and revenge for revenge.”

"General, this villain wants to file a complaint!" Soon there were people who wanted to file a complaint, and with one person in charge, more and more people showed up to sue these Qin officials.

Soon there were shouts of beating and killing these Qin officials on the high platform.

In the Neishi County official's office, the Qin officials who had not gone out were all trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

Li Shiqi looked at the Qin officials and sneered: "This is the most famous and fair trial of my big man. Any crime can be exposed in broad daylight. Just because you haven't gone out doesn't mean you are not guilty. It's just that I, my big man, still need you to do it." That’s why I’ll spare your life.”

These Qin officials immediately knelt down to Li Shiqi and said, "We will make you look up."

Li Shiqi said: "Organize the household registration of the entire Xianyang, and distribute food according to each district."

Li Shiqi warned: "From now on, if anyone starves to death in Xianyang City, I will hang one of you, so your lives are now connected with the lives of the people in Xianyang City."

The Qin official said with a hint of panic: "I will definitely complete your mission."

As expected, the Han army was so cruel that they hanged people at every turn.

These Qin officials were so frightened by Li Shiqi's method of killing chickens to scare monkeys that they did not dare to do anything else. Instead, they followed Li Shiqi's instructions and did things without complaint.

The next day, the patrolling soldiers of the Han army began to roar again: "The King of Han has opened a granary to release grain. Each household can buy it at a price of 200 yuan if they bring their household registration certificate. One stone of grain. If you don't have money, you can report it to the Han army. We can give it to the Han army." They’re looking for something to do.”

Hearing this voice, the people of Xianyang City were extremely surprised. Many of them were already short of food. The price of 200 yuan was almost the same as when the First Emperor was still alive. The wealthy people rushed to the place where the Han army was stationed. Sure enough, I saw carriages carrying grain here.

Many people in Xianyang City burst into tears when they saw this scene. With this food, they did not have to worry about starving to death. News of the large amount of food entering the city spread throughout Xianyang City. This not only stabilized the hearts of the people in Xianyang, but also made them solid supporters of the Han army.

Many poor people with no money at home were also recruited by the Han army and became workers to maintain the huge system of Xianyang City. The order of Xianyang City quickly stabilized, and the people quickly accepted the new ruler of the Han Dynasty.
