Chapter 724 Marriage Support
In addition to receiving support from people from all walks of life in the military, politics, industry, business and agriculture, Lu Bu also brought him great support.
In addition to the fact that the father of Yan Lin's father Yan Mu's money shop was used as Lu Bu's money bag to bring him a steady stream of financial support, the private money shop built by Lu Bu's second wife Zhen Jiang's Zhongshan Zhen family was instructed by Lu Bu, Hebei money shop also brought firm financial support to Lu Bu's battle for hegemony.
After Mi Zhen married Lu Bu, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu again. Xuzhou Mi family may also rely on Lu Bu. Mi family's industries are all in Donghai County. At that time, a large part of the trade income from Northeast Asian countries such as Japan and Sanhan will also fall into Lu Bu's pocket...
Zhen Jiang's second brother Zhen Yan was recommended by Lu Bu, and then served as the general officer of Lu Bu. He studied at the School of Political Science at Zhongyāng University. He has now become the county magistrate of Quliang County. His career is bright, and I expect that in the near future, he will also give Lu Bu some political support.
Lu Bu married Cai Yan, and the Chenliu Cai family also became Lu Bu's firm ally in politics.
As the Grand Tutor, Lu Bu's father-in-law Cai Yong once taught Emperor Ling of Han and Liu Bian, but the Liu Han royal family never respected him enough, otherwise Cai Yong would not have been lingered in the frontiers many times. In that lifetime, although Cai Yong's literary talent was the best in the world, he was engaged in politics by skills, not by talent, nor by character. Therefore, although Cai Yong's character and talent were dozens of streets beyond that Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, he was only a small Left General.
Originally, Cai Yong's political capital could not be the position of the Three Dukes, but because of the recommendation of Lu Bu, a powerful minister with an army, the Liu Han royal family had to place Cai Yong as the throne of the Grand Tutor. After the Taifu Lu Zhi passed away, Cai Yong was promoted to the position of Taifu, which could be regarded as the peak of civil officials. This was completely unimaginable in that life of Cai Yong...
Although Cai Yong relied on his seniority to regard himself as Master Lu Bu and his father-in-law, he often criticized Lu Bu's practices, but deep down he was still very grateful to Lu Bu for his respect and recommendation for him.
Cai Yong's eldest daughter Cai Yan married Lu Bu, and Cai Yong's most proud disciple Wang Can also join Lu Bu as his lord. Cai Yong found that he was helplessly tied to Lu Bu's chariot.
Cai Yong was the most familiar person in the Han Dynasty. He learned from history and could detect that Lu Bu had inevitably slid towards Wang Mang's state of usurping the Han Dynasty. But he could not stop Lu Bu's chariot from rumbled forward, and sometimes he had to help push the cart.
There were ten auxiliary ministers in the cabinet. The Grand Marshal Lu Bu often led troops outside. The Taiwei Huangfu Song and the General of the Cavalry Zhu Yan were in charge of other states. The Shangshu Ling Dong Zhao, Sikong Cui Lie, and the Censor Tian Feng were close friends of Lu Bu. Other auxiliary ministers in the cabinet such as the Grand Mars Ma Riyi, the Taibao Huang Wan, and the Situ Zheng Xuan were dissatisfied with Lu Bu, and Cai Yong mediated the situation to ensure the stability and unity of the cabinet. Cai Yong also tried his best to comfort the emotions of other aristocratic ministers and consolidated the rear for Lu Bu.
Cai Yong's youngest daughter married Yangshu from the Yang family in Nancheng, Taishan. The Yang family is also a famous family. Although it cannot keep up with the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, and the Wang family in Taiyuan, it also has a profound foundation.
Historically, Yang Hui's father Yang Xu was the prefect of Nanyang during the reign of Emperor Ling. He was an honest official and left behind the allusion of Yang Xu hanging fish. He was once conquered by Emperor Ling of Han as the Grand Marshal, but he refused to pay the money to buy the official. He was dismissed by Emperor Ling of Han.
The Yuanpin Kong family of Yang Fan was the daughter of the famous scholar Kong Rong. Yang Fan and Kong had one son, Yang Fa. Later, they had two sons and one daughter with Cai Yong's youngest daughter, Cai: Yang Cheng, Yang Huiyu, and Yang Hu. Yang Qian passed away when his youngest son Yang Hu was twelve years old, and his children were raised by his younger brother, Yang Dan, Cao Wei Taichang.
Yang Fan's eldest son Yang Fa was appointed as the governor of Huaibei Guardian. Yang Fa had four sons: Gaoyang Xiangyang, Yang Ji, Yang Ji's prefect Yang Ji, General Yang Yi, and Sanqi Changshou Yang Pian. Yang Ji's son Yang Man was a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Yang Man's son Yang Ben married the daughter of Emperor Ming of Jin, Princess Nanjun, the daughter of Yang Huiyu. Yang Huiyu was the stepwife of Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi. It is known in history as Empress Jingxian.
The most famous one is Yang Hu, the youngest son of Yang Wei. His courtesy name is Shuzi. He was a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty. He was named Marquis of Nancheng and became the General of the Conquest of Nan. The Jin State established by the Sima family was finally able to destroy the Eastern Wu and unify the Three Kingdoms, which was mostly due to Yang Hu's contribution.
Yang Hui married Kong Rong's eldest daughter as his wife three years ago. She gave birth to a son for Yang Hui and died soon after Yang Fat. Yang Hui then married Cai Yong's youngest daughter as his wife. Cai Yong's youngest daughter is only fifteen years old. After that, Yang Cheng, Yang Huiyu, and Yang Hu will be born, especially whether Yang Hu can be born.
However, Yang Wei himself was like Yang Xu, his father who died in the late Han Dynasty, and was both capable and honest. Therefore, Lu Bu first appointed him as the county magistrate of a place, and later promoted him to the prefect of Shangdang County. Yang Wei's younger brother Yang Yan is now young, so he studied at the Political College of Zhongyāng University Hall.
Although Lu Bu gave the Yang family some political opportunities, he could see from the performance of the Yang family's closeness to the Sima family in history that the Yang family was a relatively stubborn and conservative aristocratic family, and such aristocratic family needed to be constantly monitored and educated to make some changes.
Although Yang Hu is his brother-in-law, Lu Bu did not relax his brainwashing education. After all, in history, Yang Hu didn't even care about his father-in-law Xiahou Ba being chased by Sima Yi for the benefit of the aristocratic family. Lu Bu did not want to waste the resources and killed Lu Bu's civilian politics, and he was worried that he would entrust his important tasks to bury the disaster for the future. Then he could only brainwash vigorously, and even use Lu Bu's Taoist techniques to do hypnosis. Such brainwashing activities are not once and for all, but must be constantly continued.
Lu Bu married Wu Xia. After remarrying Wu Xian, Chenliu's Wu family was tied to Lu Bu's chariot and loyally served Lu Bu.
Lu Bu appointed Wu Xia and Wu Xian's uncle Wu Kuang as General Bingzhou. Wu Kuang was the former general of the chariot and cavalry general He Miao. He had some military talents, but he also had the bad habits of many generals from aristocratic families. He despised the middle and lower-level soldiers and wanted to withhold military pay. Despite this, Lu Bu still had to appoint him, one because he was a long-time general in the court and had a certain prestige in the army, and the other because he played a key role in the battle of Lu Bu's surprise attack on Luoyang, which made Luoyang return to Lu Bu's hands without being burned and intact by the Western Liang army. Of course, more importantly, he was Lu Bu's relative of the foreign relative. Compared with generals who had no connection or enough personality to make Lu Bu trust, Lu Bu naturally favored his relatives.
The reason why Lu Bu appointed Wu Kuang as General of Bingzhou was because Bingzhou was Lu Bu's earliest territory. The county magistrates, county magistrates, and even town magistrates, and Tingwei of Bingzhou were all old subordinates of Lu Bu, so that was not a place where Wu Kuang could act freely. Under the strict military discipline constraints and the supervision of middle and lower-level soldiers, Wu Kuang's own qualities were also constantly improving. He had to improve because Lu Bu not only had his own relatives, but Lu Bu also had more than 20 relatives and many adopted sons.
Wu Kuang's son Wu Ban is only fourteen or fifteen years old. He has left the Boy Scouts and returned to the tent of Lu Bu's adopted son Lu Meng. Wu Ban has now revealed his general strategy to become a general under Liu Bei. If he is trained effectively, he will at least be able to be the general of a state in the future.
Although Wu Xia and Wu Xian's eldest brother Wu Yi, who is under Liu Zhang's command, he takes care of his family and has always maintained secret contact with Lu Bu. When Liu Zhang submitted a letter to the court in Yecheng controlled by Lu Bu and paid back money, grain and taxes, Wu Yi played a certain role. At the same time, due to Liu Zhang's incompetence, Wu Yi, Wu Lan, Meng Da, Zhang Song and others all had the idea of serving Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took Mrs. Zou Qing as his concubine, and Zou Qing's mother's family, Zhuo County, became Lu Bu's help. Unfortunately, Zou Qing's brother Zou Jing was killed early and could not effectively help Lu Bu. Otherwise, with Zou Jing's identity as a magistrate of the Northern Army and Liu Yan's captain, he should have helped a little. However, the Zou family was still a middle-class family, so the Zou family could still provide some support for Lu Bu's hegemony.
Lu Bu accepted Fu Shou, and Fu Shou's father Fu Wan and Fu Shou's sons were also recommended by Lu Bu one after another. Fu Wan was re-appointed by the court and became the prefect of the county. Later, he was transferred to the zhongyāng court as Taichang, one of the nine ministers.
Lu Bu accepted Dong Bai, Dong Bai's distant uncle Dong Yue and uncle Niu Fu, reflected on the previous Liangzhou rebellion, and brought his relationship with Lu Bu closer. He was recommended by Lu Bu to Youzhou as the county magistrate of Beiping and Yuyang.
Zhao Aier, Guo Shaoyao, and Wang Lulian's father and brother were also valued because of their daughter's relationship, but at the same time, they also strengthened Lu Bu's power from becoming a dragon. Zhao Aier's younger brother Zhao Qiao was transferred from Youzhou to a prefect of a county in Jizhou. Guo Shaoyao's father Guo Qian was also transferred from Youzhou General to the Minister of War, and Wang Lulian's father Wang Bogang was promoted from the city gate lieutenant to the deputy general of Liaozhou.
Bian Yuer, Ding Lan and Yin Xin's family are now Hanshu landlords, and they used to rely on Cao cāo with their daughter. Now Cao cāo was defeated by Lu Bu and fled to Jingzhou, and these three families depended on Lu Bu again. Seeing that Bian Yuer, Ding Lan and Yin Xin were busy serving him these days, Lu Bu took precious time to interview the children of Ying in their family. Those who were old should go to the army to serve, those who should go to the local government will go to the place, and those who were young will mostly go to the zhongyāng University to study military or politics.
Although the father of Empress Tang Yan, Tang Mao, seemed to be the father-in-law of the emperor Liu Bian, in fact, because of the special relationship between Tang Yan and Lu Bu, Tang Mao was even more of Lu Bu's father-in-law. Although Tang Mao was unknown, he, who had been the prefect of Kuaiji, was not a strict honest official, but in Lu Bu's view, although Lu Bu lacked such a noble family as his own wings, he recommended Tang Mao as the prefect of Bohai County.
The original prefect of Bohai County, Zhang Fan, was promoted to the governor of Jingzhou. The reason why Zhang Fan was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou was because Zhang Fan's grandfather Zhang Xin was once the Situ during the reign of Emperor Huan, and his father Zhang Yan was the Grand Marshal of Emperor Ling. The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei wanted to marry his daughter to Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan refused to accept it. Zhang Fan, who was also a prominent family, was promoted to the governor of Jingzhou in order to compete with Yuan Shao for fame. Yuan Shao's series of official positions in the court were deprived because of his two uprisings. All the children and former officials of the Yuan family under the rule of the Yecheng court were cleaned up. Yuan Shao's brother, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, also fled to Jingzhou to rely on Yuan Shao. The Yuan family's power is now only in Jingzhou of Yuan Shao, Lujiang County of Yuan Shu, and Jiujiang County.
