After Dong Zhuo communicated with the big guys like Zhang Wen and Yang Biao, he found his confidants Li Ru, Jia Xu, Tian Yi, Liu Ai and other counselors in the Xiliang Army!
After they came together, Dong Zhuo sighed: "Thunder God is becoming more and more powerful. Now even Huangfu Song has been killed by him! When he calms down, I am afraid that I will not be his opponent. Now I have decided to move the capital to Chang'an for a while." The sharp edge of the Thunder God! But I don’t have a clue how to deal with the Thunder God later? I wonder what you can do?”
Several of Dong Zhuo's counselors looked at each other, and then pondered. After defeating the Han Dynasty, Lei Gong now became the Han Dynasty's veritable number one rebel. Even the court could only defend and found it difficult to counterattack! Just as Dong Zhuo said, force They are not as good as human beings. Even if they have all kinds of tricks, they will be defeated by Thunder Lord! It is very difficult to deal with Thunder Lord!
After half a day, Li Ru was the first to speak: "Prime Minister, what do the important ministers in the court think?"
Dong Zhuo said, "Zhu Jun and the others have suggested a good method, which is to let the noble families of the Han Dynasty recruit volunteers. As many soldiers as they recruit, the court will give them as many officers as they want! It is said that Lei Gong relies on the people, and the court can rely on the noble families and the entire Han Dynasty." With the power of the powerful noble families, it is not impossible to recruit an army of millions. As long as they mobilize their power, the imperial court can fight against Lei Gong!"
Li Ru exclaimed when he heard this: "Absolutely not!"
Then Li Ru solemnly said to Dong Zhuo: "Lei Gong attacked the powerful and divided the fields, and then he won the hearts of the people of Bingzhou. Lei Gong used the powerful's money and land to win people's hearts, so the Tengjia army was united, but you, the Prime Minister of the country, But there is nothing. Relying on official positions to bribe the noble families of the world has failed. The reason why the prime minister can still stabilize the court is that he relies on the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands to suppress the world, and the second is that the Thunder Lord and the Yellow Turban Army are wreaking havoc in the world. The powerful nobles have no choice but to use the strength of the Prime Minister to protect their lives!"
"But if the powerful nobles really have millions of troops, they don't need the protection of the Prime Minister. With the arrogance of the powerful nobles, there will be no place for the Prime Minister. I'm afraid the Kwantung Allied Forces will come again!"
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "I have also noticed this, so I only gave the position of military commander. The 2,000-stone captain and captain have to be filled by our people. In this way, the more powerful nobles and nobles they can recruit, the more soldiers they will recruit." , the more troops we have in hand! It’s a pity that Zhang Wen, an old man, doesn’t agree!”
Jia Xu said: "It's impossible for them to agree. Zhang Wen and his disciples are paid 2,000 dan to serve as officials. Becoming a military commander has no temptation for them at all. Only small powerful men among big men will be interested in the volunteer system."
"It's just that the Prime Minister did not agree with Zhang Wen and his disciples and former officials to become captains and captains, so it would be difficult for the court to mobilize the power of the noble families in the world. Although Lei Gong seemed to only occupy Liangzhou, the poorest place in the Han Dynasty, Lei Gong's business genius , occupying Bingzhou for several years has turned the desolate Bingzhou into a place richer than Jizhou. The land of these two states alone makes the Tengjia Army scornful."
"Furthermore, Lei Gong also occupies the entire desert and can mobilize more than 200,000 barbarians in the desert. The combined strength of Lei Gong's territory has far exceeded that of the Han Dynasty. If the Prime Minister cannot mobilize the power of the powerful noble families of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that even if we retreat to Guanzhong, we will still be Will be defeated by Thunder Lord!"
Tian Yi and Liu Ai also said: "Prime Minister, Zhu Jun is right. Now Lei Gong's strength far exceeds ours. If we want to defeat Lei Gong, we must unite the power of the noble families!"
Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "How can we not know the truth? It's a pity that people look down on me, a barbarian from Xiliang. If it weren't for Lei Gong, I'm afraid that I, the Prime Minister, would be killed by them!"
Li Ru thought for a while and said: "The nobles and nobles cannot be relied on. The prime minister of the country can only rely on us. Why can Lei Gong recruit more than 500,000 troops from a mere Bingzhou? Isn't it because Lei Gong allocates fields to his subordinates? As long as Lei Gong Each of his subordinates can be allocated 30 acres of land. Lei Gong also spent a lot of money to help these tribes build new water conservancy projects, cultivate fertile fields, and purchase struvite to increase soil fertility, so that one acre of land for the Tengjia Army was comparable to three acres in other parts of the Han Dynasty! The members of the Tengjia Army can get 100 shi of food every year, and it is because of such huge benefits that the Tengjia Army is not afraid of death!"
"We can also learn from this system. Our land is not as good as the Tengjia Army, so we give the soldiers 100 acres. With these 100 acres of land, the soldiers can work for the Prime Minister. As long as the Prime Minister can get 1 million hectares of land, they can get Millions of loyal soldiers who don’t need food and pay!”
Jia Xu was surprised when he heard this and said: "Wen You, you want the world to be in chaos. Most of the land of the Han Dynasty is owned by owners. How can you give millions of hectares of land to soldiers? If you want the land, you have to seize it." Others. But if you want to seize ordinary people, you will have to create tens of millions of refugees. If the Prime Minister really does it according to your method, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will rise again before Thunder God attacks us, and If you want to seize power from the powerful noble families, this will make the Prime Minister a target of public criticism! Do you want to force the powerful noble families to rebel against the world!"
But when Dong Zhuo heard this, he sneered and said: "If they want to rebel, where can they go? Should they seek refuge with the Thunder Lord and be hanged, or should they seek refuge with the Yellow Turban Thief and have their whole family killed! The truth is that I think Wen You's solution is the solution to our current situation. The only way to solve this dilemma is to buy people's hearts. Thunder God can buy it, and the truth can also be bought!"
Tian Yi immediately said: "Prime Minister, although Wen You's plan is clever, it still needs long-term planning. If the nobles and nobles in the world are alienated from their morals, I'm afraid that the court will be in chaos before Lei Gong attacks. Doesn't this give Lei Gong an opportunity?" Opportunity!"
Liu Ai said: "If the Prime Minister wants to increase the military strength, there are other ways to increase the amount of taxes paid by the pastors of each state. Liu Bei of Jingzhou is said to be developing Nanjun, and it is said that it has been quite effective. The Prime Minister ordered Liu Bei to harvest this autumn. If you hand over 3 million shi of grain and 500 million yuan in taxes, as long as the Prime Minister says it is to deal with Thunder Lord, Liu Bei will hand it over even if he starves to death!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is also Yuan Shu in Yuzhou who made 3 billion because of his suing. Shouldn't he give out half of it! As long as these state pastoralists follow last year's ratio By paying taxes, the court can get more than 30 million shi of food and more than 10 billion in money!"
Tian Yi worriedly said: "Last year, only because of the wealth of profiteers, the states could pay so much tax, but this year they are going to find profiteers to raid their homes. They are afraid that they will plunder the local area. By then, The Yellow Turban Army will rise again!"
Even though the Han Dynasty has a profound background, Dong Zhuo and others suffered a lot of harm last year. Now they still need to find tens of millions of stones of grain and tens of billions of money. Only the powerful gentry are left, but all the bureaucrats in the world are from the powerful gentry.
, it is impossible for them to kill themselves, even if Dong Zhuo gives the order, it will be useless!
Jia Xu thought about it and said: "Prime Minister, the imperial court is not moving its capital to Chang'an. The civil and military officials of the imperial court and a large number of noble families should also follow them to Chang'an!"
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "This is natural!"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Then if the prime minister wants land, there is a way. Guanzhong is a land of abundance and the land is fertile. It is just because the imperial court is based in Luoyang City that it reduces investment in Guanzhong and makes Guanzhong's water conservancy facilities abandoned. In addition,
Xiliang was in chaos for hundreds of years, cutting off the Han Dynasty's Silk Road to the Western Regions, and Guanzhong gradually declined."
"But now that the imperial court is about to make Chang'an the capital, it must attach great importance to the construction of Guanzhong, and various water conservancy facilities in Guanzhong must also be built, and the Prime Minister also plans to appease Han Sui and Ma Teng. By then, Xiliang will be stabilized, and Tong
If the Silk Road to the Western Regions can be opened in the future, then the land in Guanzhong will be valuable, and the price of even the original wasteland will soar!"
"And Luoyang City is bound to decline because of the relocation of the capital. In addition, Lei Gong of the Tengjia Army is ready to move and may attack Luoyang City at any time. The price of land in Luoyang City has dropped by half. Now the entire Henan Yin clan
The nobles all want to sell the land around Luoyang City, so the Prime Minister can exchange the wasteland in Guanzhong for the land in Luoyang, so that the Prime Minister can at least increase the number of troops by more than 100,000!"
Li Ru also nodded and said: "Wen He's plan is very clever. It allows the Prime Minister to get 100,000 loyal soldiers without paying a high price! However, the Prime Minister must immediately send people to manage the land in Guanzhong. The news of the capital relocation
After word spreads, I'm afraid that a large number of owners will appear in the land of Guanzhong!"
Dong Zhuo said, "I will let Shuying take a fancy to the land in Guanzhong!"
After saying this, Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "Now the imperial court has been annihilated by the Tengjia Army. 200,000 troops have been annihilated. We don't know whether these soldiers are alive or dead, but we have to do a good job in providing pensions. Wen You, you will take charge of this matter. I will criticize you."
5 billion, we must do a good job in providing pensions, and we must not let the relatives of the soldiers shed tears after they bleed!"
Although Dong Zhuo was cruel to his enemies, he took great care of the soldiers in his hands. Other officials in the imperial court bribed these big soldiers when they were in use, embezzled their military pay when they were not in use, and took credit for their achievements.
For those officials, embezzling their military pay and pretending to take credit for their achievements is considered as looking down on you. With such a strong contrast, this is why the Central Army of the Han Dynasty became loyal in Dong Zhuo's hands within a few months.
!Because the wealthy nobles don’t treat them as human beings, but Dong Zhuo treats them as human beings. It’s as simple as that!
Li Ru whispered: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid the court won't be able to spend so much money, so it's better to reduce it a little!"
Dong Zhuo was surprised and said: "How is this possible? Not to mention that we came to Luoyang City to collect 30 billion yuan from the late emperor, Shi Changshi and He Jin, and the notice also collected more than 20 billion yuan, how could the imperial court have no money!"
Li Ru carefully explained to Dong Zhuo: "Although the imperial court has a lot of money, the price of goods in the Han Dynasty has tripled due to the imperial edict. The more than 20 billion yuan is not as much as the original tens of billions of money to buy. This
The imperial court mobilized more than 500,000 troops, consumed nearly 20 million shi in food and money, and spent more than 20 billion yen. Although the imperial court still had some money on hand, the cost of moving the capital would not be less than 10 billion. With the court's current
I’m afraid I can’t afford such a high pension!”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said angrily: "Isn't a human life worth 20,000 yuan? The court treated them so harshly today. When Lei Gong comes tomorrow, we shouldn't blame the people below for surrendering to Lei Gong one by one!"
At this time Liu Ai said: "Liu Yan has not handed over the taxes from Yizhou to the court last year. The Prime Minister can order him to hand over the taxes!"
Dong Zhuo said with a cold face: "Did Liu Yan tell you why he didn't turn it in?"
Dare not to pay taxes. It was the two brothers Yuan Shao who dared to do this in the first place, and then they were taught a lesson by him to be honest. Now I didn't expect that even Liu Yan, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, took the lead in not paying taxes. How could he not let them do this?
Annoyed!
Liu Aidao: "Liu Yan said in the book that the rice thieves occupied Hanzhong and cut off the road to the north, so taxes could not be sent to the court. He also asked the court to wait until he quelled Zhang Lu's rebellion before handing over taxes to the court!"
Dong Zhuo's face turned cold and he said coldly: "Liu Yan bullied me this time because he is from Xiliang and does not understand the map of the south. He can still transport taxes from Nanyang County to Luoyang City by taking the Yangtze River waterway. What did he say to me?
Cut off the road! He wants to separate himself and become a king!"
Liu Ai nodded and said: "I'm afraid Liu Yan really wants to separate Yizhou and become the local emperor, otherwise how could Zhang Lu easily capture Hanzhong County!"
Zhang Lu's Five Dou Rice Dao has great influence in Yizhou and has many followers, just like the original Taiping Dao. When Zhang Jiao led the Taiping Dao followers to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Central Plains, the second generation leader of the Five Dou Rice Dao, Zhang Heng, also led the Five Dou Rice Dao in Hanzhong.
The congregation launched an uprising, and the two echoed each other.
Of course, the uprising forces of the Five Dou Rice Sect failed, and Zhang Heng died in the battle. However, because of the large number of followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Yizhou, the Five Dou Rice Sect has been defeated and will not be destroyed. Zhang Heng's son Zhang Lu inherited the position of leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect and continued to
Fight with the big man.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Liu Yan came to Yizhou, he wanted to be a local bully, and naturally he did not want to continue fighting with Zhang Lu, so he ordered Zhang Lu to be appeased and got him a
The official position of Duyi Sima.
In order to solve the problem of the large number of followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Yizhou, Liu Yan tried to trick Zhang Lu into attacking Hanzhong County, the home of the Five Dou Rice Sect. Of course, because Hanzhong County was captured by Zhang Lu, Yizhou also cut off its connection with the Central Plains of Guanzhong. Liu Yan could
Feel free to be your own local emperor!
Li Rudao: "The Prime Minister of the country, Yizhou is naturally dangerous, Liu Yan really wants to separate himself as the king, I'm afraid the court has nothing to do!"
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "Liu Yan is bullying me into not being able to raise the knife. He wrote to Liu Yan and told him that if he doesn't pay the taxes anymore, I will tell him to have no descendants!"
Liu Yan became the shepherd of Yizhou, and his three sons, Zuo Zhonglang General Liu Fan, Zhizhong Censor Liu Dan, and Fengche Captain Liu Zhang, were all left in Luoyang City to become hostages. Dong Zhuo really had the ability to make Liu Yan cut off his descendants!
Li Ru sneered and said: "Liu Yan really wants to separate his kingdom and become a king. How can he care about these three legitimate sons? It's not like he has no sons in Yizhou. If the prime minister wants to blackmail him, he should order General Zhennan Liu Bei to transfer to the army.
Badong area, and also told him that if he did not pay taxes, the court would send General Zhennan to Yizhou to quell the rebellion!"
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Wen You's plan is very clever! Just do it like this! Let Liu Bei do it too!"
Then he sighed and said: "It would be great if all the officials in the world were as capable and loyal as Liu Bei! The imperial court has only declined a little, and the state pastors in the four regions have the ambition to dominate. If it weren't for
I really don’t know how many people in the Han Dynasty want to be the king and how many people want to dominate the situation!"
