98, the first year of Jian'an (replenishment leader Wanghu 23K/20K)
As soon as Wang Zheng said this, not only Zhang Zhao, but also Chen Yu on the side also reacted. He could no longer hold back and immediately shouted:
"No state pastor!"
"Yan Zhen deserves to be punished for his crime." Chen Yu directly bowed his head and spoke sincerely: "But if he is implicated in his family, it will be cruel and cruel. It will definitely attract criticism from the world. If you are a state pastor, your small impatience will mess up your big plans.
"
Before saying this, Chen Yu already knew that no matter whether Wang Zheng adopted it or not, he would be dissatisfied with his family.
But after much deliberation, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.
It's not that he has any friendship with the Pengcheng Yan family, but Chen Yu is worried that once this gap is opened, it will be difficult to close it.
In the future, if other members of the noble clan anger Wang Zheng, won't they also implicate the family and end up with the same fate?
On the other hand, he and the Chen family are now considered to have boarded Wang Zheng's warship. Although they are not completely tied up, they can still be regarded as prosperous and prosperous.
In Chen Yu's view, Wang Zheng's move was deeply inappropriate.
To put it bluntly, it has crossed the line!
You must know that nowadays the princes are competing for supremacy, no matter how fierce the fighting is, in fact everyone still has a tacit understanding in private, that is, the harm will not harm the family.
In the original history, the same was true from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty until the establishment of the Three Kingdoms.
For example, after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a falling out, both parties almost lost their minds. However, after the latter died of illness, although Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao's three sons, and Cao Pi even forcibly recruited Zhen Mi, Yuan Shao's lineage also had collateral lines.
save.
The Yuan family in Runan was also not implicated.
Even when Liu Bei was stolen from his home by Lu Bu, even his family members Lu Bu were not in trouble.
To put it bluntly, they are nothing more than princes in troubled times, who either come from aristocratic families, or receive the support of aristocratic families and become their spokespersons.
And no matter which family, they don't want to see the loser involving the family behind them.
After all, no one can guarantee that their side will have the last laugh. Not implicating the enemy also leaves a way out for themselves.
The so-called founder of the figurines has no descendants. Don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
And similarly, if someone crosses the line first, it is very likely that the world will rise up and attack.
"What does the world criticize?" Wang Zheng glanced at Chen Yu lightly and said with a half-smile, "So what?"
Now Chen Yu was also shocked.
He stared blankly at the young man in front of him. At this moment, Wang Zheng seemed to have taken off his warm and generous mask, allowing Chen Yu to see those sharp and cold fangs.
Any talk of respecting Confucianism and respecting literature is all bullshit!
This Shuzi is actually a martial artist who believes in violence as a solution to everything, a single man!
In an instant, it was as if all the blood in his body was poured directly into one place. Under the heat of his brain, Chen Yu also developed the same bloody nature as before, and he could hardly muster the courage to resist Wang Zheng:
"Chou Mu, could it be that you have many fierce tigers and sharp soldiers under your command?" Chen Yu's words became fierce: "I have something to tell you!"
"The so-called defense of the people's mouth is better than the defense of the river!"
"No matter how many tigers and swords there are, no matter how sharp the sword is, it can't block Youyou's mouth. If the river chokes and collapses, many people will be hurt!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng's expression changed and showed a solemn look, which ignited hope in Chen Yu's heart.
But what the other person said next made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was filled with chills.
"It's blocked." Wang Zheng pondered for a while and said coldly: "Anyone who speaks lies will be killed, and anyone who writes indiscriminately will be killed!"
"Under the rolling heads, everyone was silent and could not make a sound."
"Zhou Mu, there are so many people in the world." Chen Yu was completely desperate and smiled miserably: "How can you kill them all?"
There are many people in the world, but you are not many nobles.
Hearing this, Wang Zheng's eyes flashed with a look as bright as blue flames, and he looked at Chen Yu with great interest.
Half a moment.
He replied briefly and forcefully in an emotionless tone:
"Kill them all."
...
Watching Chen Yu's dejected figure disappear outside the door, Wang Zheng said nothing and turned to look at Zhang Zhao.
Before Wang Zheng could speak, Zhang Zhao felt a thrill all over his body, his mind was racing, and he immediately said: "My lord, I have asked for the position, and I hope that my lord will agree."
"Oh?" Wang Zheng was about to reply when he saw the transparent box in the air suddenly light up. When he opened it, he saw that he had received Zhang Zhao's application to join the team.
What's happening here?
He immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise. Seeing his firm face, he made a guess in his heart:
"What position?"
"I ask the prisoner to behead Yan Yan!"
Zhang Zhao, who was standing by, heard the conversation between Wang Zheng and Chen Yu just now, and the other party's assignment this time made the disappointed Chen Yu abandon his official position on the spot, but it also gave Zhang Zhao a complete decision.
On the one hand, Zhang Zhao didn't think the negative impact on the Yan Yi people would be that big.
To put it bluntly, the other party is not a well-known scholar like Bian Rang, and his family has not even touched the threshold of a noble family.
On the other hand, Zhang Zhao finally figured out that he and Chen Yu were different.
Although they are both noble families, the Zhang family in Pengcheng is only a middle-class family, and cannot be compared with aristocratic families such as the Chen family in Xiapi.
Similarly, compared to Chen Yu and Xiapi Chen, they could get off the ship early when the rumors were wrong, and would abandon their official positions if they disagreed with each other, while Zhang Zhao...
Ever since civil strife broke out in Pengcheng that day and Xiang helped Wang Zheng destroy the city, there was no way out!
In this case, let's just go all the way to the dark side!
Wang Zheng also knew that this was Zhang Zhao's move to express his stance. In fact, since the other party had entered the system, it was an official seal of loyalty, and Wang Zheng would completely trust him without having to express his stance.
It was a rare piece of good news. Wang Zheng was in a good mood and agreed to it.
"My lord is attacking his clan to establish his prestige." Zhang Zhao put down his burden and became more and more calm: "I quite agree. I don't care about the reaction of the family for the time being, but the people still need to give an explanation."
These words were in line with Wang Zheng's wishes, and he nodded repeatedly: "What do you mean, sir?"
"He must be convicted!" Zhang Zhao said: "The name should not be related to the lord, so as to prevent mediocre people from guessing that the lord's move was to vent his anger; nor should it be related to the content of the memorial."
"You can make a fuss about your character, morality, and even military affairs." Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, my lord, saying that this person colluded with spies, leaked military aircraft, and intended to cause chaos?"
"This move is even more so because of the instigation of his family!"
"Leaking military planes with the intention of causing chaos?" Wang Zheng immediately understood that this was a false accusation.
Especially the last sentence, which is intended to cause chaos. At this time when Xuzhou is newly attached and the people are thinking about it, they will also share the hatred of the enemy. Not only will they not criticize Wang Zheng's actions of the Yi people, but they will probably applaud him.
He nodded and said, "Very good, that's it."
Since it was a false accusation, it was necessary to lay out some charges. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to resign and went to make some preparations.
After Wang Zheng finally gave up the idea of conquering the aristocratic family with the royal way, his mind changed and he no longer worried about gains and losses, and immediately became relaxed.
It is more to my liking to be domineering. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. It is simple and crude, and it is very refreshing!
He called Huo Si and his daughter, thought for a while, and asked Bu Wan'er to be called out as well. They rode horses and sedans, left the house, walked through the crowded streets, and mixed in with the crowd amidst laughter and laughter.
, while signaling to the people, he headed towards the venue where the event was held.
There was not much entertainment in the Han Dynasty. Due to the ban on activities in Xiapi City this time, the main activities were pot throwing, jiaodui, and Cuju. Dozens of venues, large and small, were opened. Small taverns were mainly for pot throwing, and were mainly for officials.
Wealthy families and scholars belong to the class, and the venue is dominated by jiaodui and cuju, but there is no distinction between classes, and the spectators can be described as a sea of people.
When Wang Zheng and the others arrived, they caught up with a team who scored a good goal, causing the whole stadium to burst into cheers.
Yu Jin's sharp eyes saw Wang Zheng and his entourage from a distance. He hurriedly came down from the front stand and hurriedly came over to greet him. Wang Zheng watched with his eyes and saw that many civil and military officials in the city had come. Some were sitting in the stands, and some were still wearing their clothes.
Wu Sheng, who had a reckless temperament, changed into regular clothes and mingled with the crowd, shouting non-stop.
Wang Zheng, Huo Si and other women went to the stands and saw two groups of people, divided into red and black. Through Yu Jin's introduction, we found out that the red ones were composed of civilian youths, while the black ones were composed of soldiers. This arrangement obviously has political implications.
Internally, it was also in response to Wang Zheng's call. On the one hand, the army and the people enjoyed themselves, and at the same time, it was conducive to the unity and integration between the Tianjun and Xuzhou locals.
"The competition is divided into three games, two in the morning and one in the afternoon. After the end, the cavalry selected from the army will perform polo and riding skills for the people. In the pot throwing area, there will be performances of archery and willow shooting.
In addition to jiaodui, hutou, and cuju, there are also activities such as go and shogi, but they are concentrated in the Nancheng area."
Wang Zheng was very satisfied and looked around. Except for Zhang Zhao who went to supervise the beheading, only Xu Fang did not show up at this time, so he asked: "Where are the Alfang people?"
Yu Jin and Xu Fang had a close personal relationship. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "This guy has a calm personality and likes to play chess. He probably went to the Yiguan."
Wang Zheng nodded and asked: "What program is scheduled for tomorrow?"
"Yi Guan was changed to cockfighting, Cuju was changed to polo, and Tou Hu was changed to Jiao Jie."
Polo, also known as "Biju", refers to a kind of sports activity involving riding on a horse and hitting the ball with a polo stick. It began in the Han Dynasty and became extremely prosperous in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In Cao Zhi's "Famous Capitals", there is a poem that describes the situation of people playing polo at that time: "Continuous riding on horseback to hit the ground, with countless skilful moves."
Activities involving horses would be regarded as high-level entertainment in later generations, not to mention that today, not only the government can organize it, but ordinary people can only be unreachable spectators, and the participants are almost as good as non-military lieutenant generals.
He is a descendant of an aristocratic family.
Moreover, people who perform well will almost always be favored and awarded official positions.
There is a certain reason for doing this.
Hitting the ball at high speed requires not only outstanding skills, but also a certain degree of courage and superb riding skills. It is always a temporary choice, so both Cuju and polo were listed as "ruling the country and practicing martial arts" in the Han Dynasty.
, was widely carried out in the military, and was even included in the art of war.
The "Book of Han" contains "Twenty-Five Chapters on Cuju". It can be seen that Cuju has been closely related to the army since its birth. It is not surprising that the outstanding ones are selected to join the army.
This time it is held on the New Year's Day, and Wang Zheng also intends to turn it into a fixed entertainment event in the military. The focus is also on this, it can be entertaining and educational, and help develop a fierce and victorious martial culture in the military.
A few people got down to business and started watching the game.
The result was beyond Wang Zheng and Yu Jin's expectations, and the black team lost the first game.
It shouldn't be.
Yu Jin's face turned a little dark as he felt he had lost face:
"These unsatisfactory people have not only lost my face, but also the face of our heavenly army."
He secretly glanced at Wang Zheng next to him, bared his teeth and said: "That's all, how dare you lose the face of my lord, you deserve to die!"
He groaned angrily and started to step off the stage, but Wang Zheng stretched out his hand to hold him back.
"Winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists, let alone just one Cuju game. Besides, isn't there three games?"
Most of the people sent by the black team this time were elites from the Heavenly Army, and there were even a few from the Tianzhu camp. They were just trying to get a good start.
The physical fitness and stamina of these first- and second-level soldiers were far beyond those of ordinary people. Naturally, Yu Jin felt that he had a chance to win, so some of them could not accept defeat.
Wang Zheng, who traveled through time and space, knew that Cuju and football are very close. Although the body is important, skills and cooperation are also crucial, affecting the outcome.
Although the soldiers of the Heavenly Army have the upper hand in the former, they were all hungry refugees before and may not be able to compare with those fun-loving street people in the latter.
Of course, the Heavenly Army now has a huge number of people, and it is impossible that there are no people who are proficient in this skill. After Wang Zheng explained the key to Yu Jin, he said: "If you lose the first game, you will lose, but you can't lose again in the future. You must win, and you must win."
Win by a big score!"
"Here!"
Yu Jin went down to make arrangements, re-select manpower, and organize the team.
The black team composed of the Heavenly Army at the back realized their shame and became brave. In addition, they knew that the Heavenly General was watching the battle on the stage. Everyone was in high spirits. They won two games with a big score and finally regained their face.
Only then did a smile appear on Yu Jin's face.
It was almost dusk, and when Wang Zheng was about to leave, Xu Fang happened to come over. As soon as he got close, he bowed respectfully without saying a word.
"Afang, why do you have to be like this on New Year's Day?" Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Even Yu Jin is a lot more casual today, why are you still so cautious?"
"What my lord said is true." Xu Fang said respectfully, "But there must be no distinction between superior and inferior."
Wang Zheng had no choice but to change the subject: "I didn't see you just now, but you went to watch chess?"
Xu Fang shook his head and said: "The general is thinking about what the general ordered before, so he went to check out the venue in the past two days. He just selected the location in the morning, which is next to the military camp and school grounds to the east of the outer city."
"Next to the military camp in the east?" When Wang Zheng heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Army is not inferior to any powerful army in the world, its cultural quality is its biggest flaw.
Ordinary soldiers are nothing more than ordinary soldiers, but the middle and lower-level generals are very different from other armies. After all, at this time, all the major princes have soldiers and horses participating in them, and most of those who can be generals will not be illiterate.
But Wang Zheng here has selected some positions from the system soldiers. Most of these people were refugees a year ago, and naturally few of them can read. After all, people like Xu Fang are in the minority.
Therefore, in addition to setting up official schools in the private sector, Wang Zheng also plans to set up military schools in the army to focus on solving this problem.
Wang Zhengsi thought for a while and said: "This place is good, but there is one thing. It should not be too close to each other, lest the sound of the soldiers' drills distracts them and prevents them from concentrating on their studies."
"Here."
"What about the selection of instructors and the setting of courses?"
"Following the general's instructions, half of the instructors will be selected from the Tianji camp, and the other half will be selected from the scholars and scholars in the city."
"As for the subjects, the first year will focus on literary studies. After the college is completed, the second year will teach battle examples, formation drills, riding and shooting, etc."
The two rode together, chatting and discussing details. As they got further and further away from the hustle and bustle, the sky gradually became darker.
Unknowingly, Wang Zheng passed through the fourth year of travel and arrived at the first year of Jian'an.
It was the most exciting period in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Weinan...
