Chapter 850
Death of illness
The Battle of Jingzhou exposed Wu's many weaknesses.
The most intuitive thing is that people's hearts are in turmoil, and it was all thanks to Lu Kang's support that it didn't collapse suddenly.
Since the annexation of the Central Plains, the Wu army surrendered a total of nineteen generals, most of whom led their troops or cities to return to Qin.
The territory of Da Qin is directly adjacent to the Yangtze River.
At the beginning, the people of Wu had high hopes for Zhong Hui, hoping that he would be Zhuge Liang who would help people in distress. However, after so many years, Jiangdong is still the same Jiangdong. The situation in the country is not much better than when Sun Hao was in power, and local rebellions occur one after another.
, the army was mobilized frequently, and the burden on the people was not reduced much. The secret fight between Zhong Hui and the Lu family made Jiangdong even more precarious.
Nursery rhymes from all over the country spread like wildfire and were spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, Zhong Hui ascended the throne of Yue Gong, and his heart became clear.
The knowledgeable people in Jiangdong were disappointed.
In the north, the Qin Dynasty ruled without doing anything. In the past two years, the weather had been good. All parts of the Central Plains were equalized and taxes were reduced. Ma Long, Zhang Fu, Pang Qing and others were appointed to suppress the powerful nobles. As a result, the country's national power continued to grow and its control over local areas continued to strengthen.
The generals under his command, Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, Jie Xie, Meng Yue, Ma Rong, Li Song, Wang Cheng, Dong Yuan and others, were all loyal and brave men.
Governing the country will definitely not be a harmonious one. Yang Zheng has never thought of letting Nanshan's swords and guns go into storage. Governing the country is like walking on thin ice. If you make one wrong step, you will be doomed.
To be honest, it is impossible to completely eliminate powerful people.
However, within six months, there were as many as seventeen assassinations and attacks on him.
"Father, you should posthumously confer the title of Governor Huo to show the importance of the imperial court." Yang Xu reminded.
Ban Gu's "Book of Han" says: The river is so turbid that for every stone there is six buckets of mud. People in the Han Dynasty called it the "Yellow River".
Yang Zheng nodded, "Has Xu'er seen the Yellow River?"
However, Zhang Fu was a "experienced person" and had already prepared. He had 800 elite troops under his command and killed the "mountain bandits" and threw away their armor.
"Why do you think it is?" Yang Zheng smiled.
Yang Zheng felt that although the nobles were not very powerful, they still had a little bit of integrity. Compared with the Song and Ming literati, they were still a little stronger.
Besides, letting him go to Nanzhong to be the prince is not sending him to the battlefield.
Before leaving, Huo Biao knelt down in front of Yang Zheng with tears streaming down his face, "As long as the Huo family is here, Nanzhong will always be the land of Great Qin!"
There will always be something growing up silently.
Because of his presence in Nanzhong, Great Qin had no worries.
Without the powerful gentry, there would be clan nobles. Without clan clan nobles, there would be gentry in the local area...
Population is not a simple data, but a signal of a country's healthy development.
Daxing held a mourning ceremony for him for three days to show his respect for Huo Yi.
"God forbid, one of my generals will be harmed!"
The seventh son, Yang Huang, is only twelve years old, but in extraordinary times, for the sake of the country and the country, he can't take care of that much.
By the end of the year, the population statistics in each county exceeded the estimates of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
If armed confrontation is impossible, it will turn to rumors.
"Of course I've seen it before, but it often causes disasters."
The same is true for Cao Pi, and the same is true for Cao Rui. The Sima family in history seemed to have won, but they led China towards the dark abyss. The Sima family was wrong from top to bottom...
After Zhang Fu was transferred to Shandong, he made an immediate impact, specializing in fighting against the powerful gentry and clearing out a large number of people and land.
Yang Xu also found something to say, and the truth was obvious, "Youzhou is a bitter and cold place. If the powerful can defend one side, resist foreigners, and suppress them, they will consume their strength, and the foreigners will grow stronger."
The 20,000 cavalrymen stationed in Yanzhou moved in response and headed straight for the bandits' lair.
"Nanzhong?" Yang Zheng had a bad feeling.
Without the relatives and eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties grew up with powerful nobles. In the late Tang Dynasty, without the powerful nobles, soldiers and generals grew up...
After reading the play, my heart suddenly dropped. Huo Yi died of illness!
In the Battle of Wuling, Huo Yiqin took the initiative and although he was defeated, he also severely damaged Lu Kang.
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The river is heavy and turbid, but it can irrigate the fields on both sides. There is a saying in the art of war. If you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles. The way of a king is to see the advantages as well as the disadvantages, and weigh the pros and cons."
However, he resolutely chose to return to Qin. His loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness made him a model for the world.
Before time travel, Yang Zheng hated the powerful nobles deeply, but after so many years, he was no longer so naive.
Seeing corruption and perverting the law, bullying good people, colluding with thieves, evil intentions, etc., Yang Zheng just wanted to laugh.
The greater the movement, the more powerful Zhang Fu is in his work.
Huo Yi was already old. After the defeat, he blamed himself a lot. Unfortunately, he fell ill and was bedridden for three months, but he still went to Hexi.
As a member of the Qin clan, you must have the consciousness to sacrifice for the country.
"Make Huo Biao the governor of Nanzhong, inherit Huo Yi's title, and make the seventh prince Yang Huang the king of Dian, out of the town of Nanzhong." After Yang Zheng thought for a while, he issued two edicts.
The confrontation between the powerful forces in Shandong is more intense than that between the powerful forces in Sichuan.
At the time when Nanzhong was in turmoil, as long as Huo Yi nodded, he could separate himself and stand on his own. If Da Qin wanted to pacify this place, it would have to spend a lot of effort.
Actually, the main thing I want to say is balance.
"Xu'er reminded me."
The people of Jiangdong saw this, and the people of Jingxiang, Jiangxia, Huainan, Lingnan and other bordering areas came to Daqin with their families.
"I understand, my lord, the powerful nobles are like the Yellow River. When it overflows, it must be suppressed." Yang Xu's eyes flickered.
Memorials for the impeachment of Zhang Fu from various counties in Shandong flew into Daxing City like snowflakes.
Yang Zheng was very happy.
How many ordinary people's children are already indispensable laborers for the family at the age of twelve or thirteen.
This is the image of a scholar in Yang Zheng's mind.
Yang Zheng handed over all the memorials to impeach Zhang Fu to the Zhenfu Division to check their background.
There is always one that will suit you.
Cao Cao also used Man Chong, Yang Pei, Du Ji and others to suppress the powerful, and even the clan showed no mercy.
"Why didn't your father leave Youzhou's powerful power?" Yang Xu asked.
However, Huo Yi was already sixty-seven years old at this time. In this era, Nanzhong and Wuling were a place full of snakes, insects, rats, ants, and miasma.
Yang Zheng nodded happily.
Huo Yi's eldest son died young, and his remaining two sons were of mediocre ability. They were all civil servants, and it would be difficult to control the situation in Nanzhong. Only Huo Biao had been in Qingying for many years, and was both civil and military. He was commendable for his loyalty and bravery. He was also Yang Zheng's son-in-law, so naturally he was
The most suitable candidate.
The weak Song Dynasty had no soldiers and generals, and the whole country was full of unscrupulous literati who were bullied by others.
On the second day of the dynasty, the ministers discussed and granted Huo Yi the title of Taiwei, the title of Duke of Yunnan, and the posthumous title of "Xiang".
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Nanzhong." Zhao Aqi reported.
Five times, "mountain bandits" somehow entered the city and attacked the government offices.
Unless Yang Zheng imitates Huang Chao, kills mountains of corpses and seas of blood, kills thousands of miles of uninhabited Central Plains, kills hundreds of miles of roosters, and then dies himself, another version of Wuhu Luanhua will come.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he used ruthless officials such as Zhang Tang, Du Zhou, and Wang Wenshu to attack powerful wealthy businessmen.
There is virtue in opening up land, there is hard work in armor, there is merit in doing things, there is success in cooperation, and the power of virtue is so great that it is said to be Xiang from afar.
Yang Zheng encouraged, "The Huo family has always been loyal, why do you need to say more!"
The territory of Nanzhong is very large, and Da Qin does not fully control it, let alone manage it.
There are still many uninhabited areas in the Central Plains...
Therefore, it is the best choice to seal the Huo family and seal another prince.
