Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the small room behind the study of Jinxiang Palace, Guo Shao turned the case on the wooden frame into a mess. From behind came the sharp voice of the **** Cao Tai: "What dossiers are looking for, and the servants and maids ask for help."

Guo Shao didn't respond, and finally found a stack of files. He took it to the table and sat down and read it for a while. His eyes lit up, and he stretched out his fingers and pressed a name: Feng Jiye.

Guo Shao patted his forehead and finally remembered this name, who was exactly the person he was looking for.

Who is Feng Jiye? The former Shuofang Jiedu Envoy (Lingzhou) was cruel and militant by nature. When he was in Lingzhou, he often attacked and killed the ministries, and had very poor relations with the northwest ministries; he was later dismissed by Guo Shao.

In order to conquer Youzhou in the north and stabilize the rear in the northwest, Guo Shao married a party member to compromise. One of the conditions in the negotiation was to kill Feng Jiye... It can be seen that this person was often resented by the party member! Guo Shao didn't kill that guy, but he removed him and replaced him with Zhede.

"Where is Feng Jiye now?" Guo Shao asked.

Cao Tai looked at a loss, thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "The slave and maidservant immediately go to the staff and ask the officials to report to your majesty."

Not long after, Cao Tai brought Feng Jiye's situation. Bureaucrats at the level of Feng Jiye will be noticed by the court regardless of whether they are in office or not. After being removed and returned to their hometown, the local officials usually assume this responsibility.

Cao Tai said: "Feng Jiye returned to his hometown. According to the news at the end of last year, it is said that he bought a lot of land and was herding sheep..."

"Tell him not to herding sheep." Guo Shao said straight, "Tell Wang Pu to order Feng Jiye to be the Lingzhou defense envoy, command the Lingzhou town soldiers, and then transfer cavalry to him from the northwest towns."

Cao Tai hurriedly said, "The slave and maid complies with the order."

Guo Shao said solemnly: "Feng Jiye is secretly ordered to punish those whose sins cannot be forgiven."

After he finished speaking, it seemed as if he smelled a **** smell from the vibration of the sound... a word sometimes meant that blood was flowing into a river.

Realizing the consequences, Guo Shao suddenly thought: In the depths of his heart, how cruel and righteous is there? But what he can be sure of is that he certainly didn't behave so benevolent, even if he used Xuanren as the reign name.

He was tolerant and righteous to the people around him, ministers and people, but that was just a wise move. Guo Shao believes in one thing, if it goes against the interests of most people and everyone is dissatisfied with them, no matter how powerful they are, they will definitely be finished.

... A few days later, under the attention of hundreds of civil and military personnel, Li Chuyun gained the military power of the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition. The emperor personally issued seals, royal orders, and military charms.

Generals such as Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao are in charge, but they need the assistance of at least four central government offices. At the same time, the "Hexi Qianying Military Mansion" will be formed, with Wei Renpu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, as the commander of the army, Li Gu, the prime minister, as the transshipment envoy, responsible for the dispatch of munitions, and the Minister of Industry Zan Jurun as the supervising army.

The Hexi Army Corps is estimated to be composed of 50,000 foot cavalry. It is estimated that it will take about a month for the Imperial Guards in the Central Plains and the northwestern states to gather guards.

The military government took the lead in establishing the "qianying military government" yamen in the military camp on the campus northwest of Anyuan Gate. After the formation of an organization, everything can be arranged according to the rules.

In the rough barracks lobby, Li Chuyun walked into the military mansion, wearing a uniform and armor, pressing his sword and raising his head. A large group of people in the room looked sideways, some clasped fists and marched in salute, and some clung their hands.

Li Chuyun strode to the upper position, looked back left and right, raised his hands, and dozens of people gradually calmed down.

He put the big seal on the gong'an first, then took out the imperial decree, and told the entourage to take it down and show it to everyone.

Li Chuyun cleared his throat, and said loudly: "According to the emperor Xu's order, this lord will be the commander of the Hexi Army! From now on, you will have the power to command, mobilize, deploy, and dispose of the following troops..."

He read it very solemnly. Although the house is so rough and old, and the place is not large, Li Chuyun is very excited by this ritual-like scene, "God bless my emperor, longevity!"

"God bless my emperor, longevity is boundless!" Zhu Wenwu immediately echoed the yelling together, which was to admit that Li Chuyun's military power came from the emperor's courtesy!

Li Chuyun stood there, looking at the dust flying in the sun outside the gate, the familiar sound of horseshoes was endless, and his face flushed. He looked back on the left and right and said: "The great prestige will definitely follow the emperor's iron cavalry and spread the four directions."

...The war machine of Tokyo beams works well. The news of starting a war is not uncommon to the officials and people of Xu Guo. People have long been accustomed to it, because there seems to be no year without war in these years.

No one can say why the court started the war so smoothly... The common people would not hate Xu Jun's war, because in recent years the war has always been in a remote place and has not had any impact on the lives of the people. Military generals will not refuse war. They need military merits. Military merits have brought glory to the ancestors and brought a lot of income. The silver coins from Japan continuously stimulate the desires of soldiers.

Civil officials no longer prevent the war, and the money house’s dividends come quickly, which is much easier than collecting land rent; instead of deploying a large number of troops to defend the frontier, offensive makes the officials in power feel that national defense is a lot easier, and the land wealth they own can also be obtained. Guaranteed. Under the rising national power, the increasingly wealthy life made officials not want to block the emperor's ambitions.

Just like this Western Expedition, the ministers did not know how it happened. When a group of soldiers gathered in the northern city of Tokyo, people realized that the war was about to begin again, and everything seemed like an absurd dream. The relentless national policy, but it can be so smooth, it seems that it has gradually broken away from the teachings of ancient sages.

Privy Envoy Wang Pu once played chess with Guo Shao in the Hall of Yangde, and said about this, "The old minister can't tell what's wrong, but occasionally he feels restless. Big Xu Wenzhi martial arts, the image of the flourishing age, but the flourishing age It shouldn't be."

Guo Shao asked: "What does Wang Shijun think?"

Wang Pudao: "As at the time of Zhenguan, the prosperous world is peaceful, Datong governs the world, and the eternal king is the emperor."

"Conservation does not necessarily lead to stability." Guo Shao put a chess piece on the chessboard, "I asked Wang Shijun, why is the peace and prosperity always unsustainable and will eventually lead to chaos?"

Wang Pu frowned and said, "Your Majesty's question, I am afraid that it is not clear in one or two sentences, and it must be tens of thousands."

Guo Shao shook his head and said: "I think the most fundamental reason is that the land and resources are not enough to withstand the ever-increasing population; therefore, wars and plagues have caused the population to drop sharply and regain balance. No matter the east and the west, all countries under the sky are like this. ."

Wang Pu felt very strange after hearing it, and was stunned for a while.

Guo Shao glanced at him: "The Tao Te Ching says that the world is not benevolent and everything is a dog. The rules of the world are similar to those of birds, beasts, and ants. If you want to achieve great harmony in the world and a paradise among the holy people, there is probably no way out. .

I am also thinking about what to do... But so far, I still feel that a country that expands space and expands can survive. When the population is too large, they will migrate to other places to relieve the pressure.

In the past two years, a way has been found, which is to exile all prisoners who violate the law, the people involved, and those who rebel against the uprising to the province. The criminal atonement in a remote place is also a kind of rebirth. "

Wang Pu could not refute Guo Shao.

Guo Shao knew that Wang Pu was very wise, but even genius was subject to insight. Obviously, Wang Pu couldn't use ancient knowledge to refute Guo Shao... Wang Pu didn't dare to argue, after all, he was facing the emperor.

But Wang Pu was silent and did not agree with Guo Shao's rhetoric.

Guo Shao understands Wang Pu's feelings a bit...

I remember that I heard a sentence in my previous life. Some people said that the Chinese have no religious beliefs since ancient times, and it is difficult to understand that it can last so long. Guo Shao feels that people have another kind of belief, which is similar to Wang Pu's current feeling; that kind of belief is not a belief in a specific god, but a very mysterious concept: the heart of awe.

Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are all like this. People in the world are not very religious about anything, but scholars will do things like building roads and paving bridges to accumulate good destiny. They faintly feel that there are gods in their heads, and they dare not let go of anything. Even a Buddhist monk would not dare to curse the gods in the Chenghuang Temple at will.

And now Guo Shao completely ignores the path of ancient sages and does everything he believes. No wonder people with knowledge are worried.

After a long time, Wang Pu said: "Feng Jiye should be coming to Lingzhou soon. What will he do there?"

Guo Shao looked at each other, speechless.

"I only do the right thing." Guo Shao said suddenly. There was a trembling sound in his voice. Perhaps he himself was not sober at this time, but as an emperor, he shouldn't be unconfident.

Regardless of his previous life or his present life, Guo Shao is just a young man. Up to now, he doesn't even understand the "Book of Changes". He really has limited understanding of the world... But he feels that he is a practitioner.

"Have you ever seen the world of Great Harmony? We don't have to describe a dream. There is still a way to go and try." Guo Shao said.

He stood up, took out a glass bottle from a drawer, and handed it to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu took over and looked at the gray powder inside, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Limestone and volcanic ash are mixed together~www.readwn.com~ and burned in a brick kiln. They are ground into ash, and mixed with water and sand can become clay." Guo Shaodao, "I spent several months trying to find out with various minerals. Of clay."

Wang Pu pointed the bottle to the light of the window, looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty wants to use this thing to repair the fortress on the battlefield?"

Guo Shao said, "That's it. Ishisee Fort has confirmed the defensive power of Liuhua Fort. I am trying to reinforce this fortress and construct a more stable defensive organization. After it is built, no one will want to attack it."

His eyes were piercing, and he said with excitement: "I will build forts wherever I can reach, and let the guards guard the vast territory!"

Guo Shao could hardly restrain the idea of ​​mastering the world in his heart. Whether it was a simple mixture of gunpowder, a ship made of wooden sails, or a fortress made of clay or earth rammed bricks, he felt that he could use the simplest technology to rule the whole world.

After the hearts of the people grew, everything was hard to restrain. For mobile phone users, please visit m.piaotian
