Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

The second year of Jianxing, 232 AD.

Under the Han Dynasty's national policy of truce and nourishing the people, the people of all states and counties ushered in a rare peace.

The problems of aristocratic families and land annexation that plagued the Han Dynasty were also solved by the Zhuge brothers in a violent way.

same year.

Zhuge Qiao wrote a letter in Yecheng to abolish the "food fiefdom", and the dukes, ministers, and princes no longer had the right to directly collect taxes from the people within their fiefdoms.

The "food salary" that the dukes, ministers, and princes deserved was directly allocated from the finances of the capital and local areas.

The name of all the fields in the world was changed to "Han fields", and it was stipulated that "Han fields" could not be bought and sold.

As well as a series of reform proposals such as setting up state-owned workshops, five equalities, credit loans and six controls, distributing the land tax and returning the fire consumption tax to the public.

These reform proposals touched upon too many interests, and even Zhuge Liang did not dare to make a decision.

finally.

All of Zhuge Qiao's proposals were established by Liu Bei in the form of "ancestral rules".

In Liu Bei's words: "The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. If these rules become inappropriate someday, let future generations change them."

With Liu Bei's endorsement and Zhuge Qiao's world-renowned prestige, even if there were voices of dissatisfaction in the court and the public, they would not have much impact.

Compared with Wang Mang's New Deal, Xin Han's New Deal was directly printed in large quantities by state-owned workshops and sent to various towns in prefectures and counties.

Zhuge Qiao even sent a large number of soldiers to visit and investigate various villages in the prefectures and counties. If anyone deceived the villagers, they would report it truthfully.

Although the implementation of the new policy was violent, the effect was surprisingly good.

In the past, Qin Shihuang implemented new policies and eventually became a tyrant. It was not because Qin Shihuang’s new policies were bad, but because Qin Shihuang died too early.

His successor Hu Hai lacked prestige and made reckless changes to the new policies, which exacerbated the conflict.

And now.

Zhuge Qiao was not even thirty years old, but his position in the New Han Dynasty was unshakable.

Zhuge Qiao's prestige alone was enough to ensure that the new policies would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as they were implemented year after year.

During this time.

New changes also occurred in Liaodong and Bingzhou.

Sima Yi launched a surprise attack on Xiangping using a feint to the east and attack in the west, and killed Gongsun Yuan and his son.

The country was named Yan and its capital was Xiangping.

At the same time, he sent envoys with imperial seals and tokens to grant seals and ribbons to the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, conferred official titles and ranks on the Hu people, and instigated them to invade Youzhou.

Tian Yu, the commander of the Wuhuan Guard, led his troops back to Han.

Ke Bineng pledged his loyalty to Cao Zhang and moved his entire family to Bingzhou.

The third year of Jianxing.

The Hu people in Bingzhou rioted.

Ke Bineng was able to contact the Hu tribes in Bingzhou and fought a great battle with Cao Zhang in Taiyuan.

Cao Zhang was outnumbered and was defeated and fled.

Ke Bineng was full of ambition and he massacred Han people in Bingzhou.

The Xianbei protector, Qian Zhao, raised his troops and returned to Han, and went to Luoyang in person to ask Liu Chan to send troops.

Upon learning of the incident in Bingzhou, Liu Chan immediately dispatched General Ma Chao, General Zhao Yun, General Wei Yan, and General Jiang Wei to Bingzhou to quell the rebellion.

Zhuge Qiao of Yecheng also sent four generals, Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Ju Fu and Zhang Yi, to enter Shangdang through Huguan.

Facing the most elite soldiers and generals of the Han Dynasty, Ke Bineng suffered defeat after defeat and his retreat was cut off by the Han soldiers in Taiyuan.

Ke Bineng threatened to challenge the Han soldiers in a duel, but was killed by Zhao Yun with a single spear in just one round.

Because too many Han people in Bingzhou were killed or injured, Liu Chan started a massacre for the first time.

All the Bingzhou Hu people who participated in the rebellion were killed one by one.

The non-participating Hu tribes were also fined and paid heavy taxes for ten years.

The Hu people who migrated from Yongliang were also frightened by Liu Chan's cruelty.

No one expected that the usually kind Liu Chan would sign such a cruel edict!
Liu Chan also issued an imperial decree allowing the Hu people to abandon their original ethnic identity, join the Han nationality, and learn Chinese culture.

In short: if you accept and support Han culture, then you are Han.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued.

A large number of Hu people gave up their original ethnic identities and joined the Han nationality, especially the Hu people in Bingzhou who were fined heavy taxes for ten years, and more joined!
For the Hu nobles, Liu Chan's edict was tantamount to humiliation.

For ordinary Hu people, the mistakes made by the nobles are none of my business!
We were living well in the Han Dynasty, but we have to be punished just because of the nobles' struggle for power?
The power of the Hu people who migrated inland was once again divided. After the Hu people who admired the Han people joined the Han nationality, they were all proud of their Han nationality.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Cao Zhang led the remaining troops out of Yanmen Pass, and taking advantage of Ke Bineng's death in battle, he went to compete with the Xianbei people for territory.

Since then.

Cao Wei's power in the Han Dynasty was completely dissipated! In Liaodong.

Because of the Yan State established by Sima Yi, there were a large number of aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families brought precious knowledge and culture to Liaodong, which was much better than Cao Zhang's makeshift team in Bingzhou.

Sima Yi even led his troops to capture Goguryeo's Marundo City, and Goguryeo was destroyed.

After destroying Goguryeo, Sima Yi used his absolute military power to annex the surrounding small countries, and his territory was no less than that of Youzhou.

In addition, the Xianbei and Wuhuan in the east became vassals of the Yan State, and Sima Yi's power expanded rapidly.

The fourth year of Jianxing.

Zhuge Qiao, who noticed the changes in Liaodong, wrote another letter to the emperor, proposing that the Han Dynasty move its capital to Zhuo County.

After weighing the pros and cons with Zhuge Liang and other ministers, Liu Chan agreed to Zhuge Qiao's petition.

In the same year, Liu Chan recruited a large number of civilian workers to Zhuo County to build the imperial palace in Zhuo County and the imperial mausoleum in Lousang Village.

The fifth year of Jianxing.

Liu Chan led all officials to officially move the capital to Zhuo County, built ports in You, Ji, and Qing, and mobilized the navy of Jing and Yang to march north.

The sixth year of Jianxing.

Liu Bei, 74 years old, died in Lousang Village and was posthumously named Emperor Zhaowu of Han.

Same month.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died on the same day after guarding Liu Bei's tomb in Lousang Village for three days.

Liu Chan, mindful of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's contributions and their loyalty to Liu Bei, buried them on the left and right of Liu Bei's mausoleum.

He also ordered people to plant a large number of peach trees around the tomb to show his loyalty.

The eighth year of Jianxing.

Zhuge Ke, who had been lurking in Liaodong for many years, killed the Xianbei Chanyu Budugen and put the blame on Sima Yi.

There was civil unrest in Yan.

Zhuge Qiao then raised an army of 100,000 men by land and sea to attack the State of Yan.

The Yan army was defeated and retreated to Xiangping City.

August.

Zhuge Qiao set up an altar outside Xiangping City and lied that he wanted to ask for punishment from heaven.

After performing the ritual for more than ten days, a meteor about ten feet long fell to the southeast of Xiangping City.

Sima Yi was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst, and he died with black blood vomiting from his mouth.

The Yan State's civil and military officials all believed that Zhuge Qiao had really invited divine punishment. The army's morale was broken, and Xiangping City fell without a fight!

The State of Yan surrendered.

The entire territory, including the Liaodong Peninsula, belongs to the Han Dynasty.

December.

Zhuge Qiao led his troops to Liucheng and destroyed the Wuhuan.

The following year (239).

The ninth year of Liu Chan's Jianxing was the first year of Jianqian, which means: the world is unified and the sun shines on the Han Dynasty.

Zhuodu Palace.

Liu Chan frowned as he looked at the short and stout overseas envoys in the hall who called themselves Nan Shengmi and Dushi Niu Li.

"Although the Han Dynasty allows foreigners to become citizens, it does not mean that anyone who is a foreigner can become a citizen."

"You are ugly, I don't like you!"

Nan Shengmi and Dushi Niu Li chattered excitedly after listening to the translation of the accompanying interpreter.

The general meaning is: Although we are ugly, we are willing to be your vassal; we hope to be recognized by the golden seal of the Han Dynasty and be crowned the king of Han Dynasty.

When they heard that he was going to be made a king, not only Liu Chan was unhappy, but all the ministers in the court were unhappy too.

Good guy!
Zhuge Qiao, the man with the highest achievements in the Han Dynasty, is only a marquis. How could a small overseas country want to be crowned a king?
This is humiliating!

It's a humiliation to the Han people!
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang petitioned, "Your Majesty, the foreign nations are being disrespectful and are offending the majesty of the Han Dynasty."

"Be punished!"

For the first time, all the ministers in the hall were of the same opinion, and they all stepped out and shouted "He should be executed!"

Liu Chan slammed the table and stood up: "Leave the interpreter here, and drag the rest of the rude people out of the Meridian Gate and behead them!"

"Pass on my order, summon General Zhuge Qiao to lead the army, capture their king, and destroy their country!" (End of this chapter)
