As Xun Yu and others left, the news seemed to have grown wings and spread all over the country in an instant, all over China.
People put in great enthusiasm.
The momentum of the Six Hussars Army to sweep across the world seems to be unstoppable. So, if Wang Yu took it to face and explained it personally, there is more than a 90% chance that it will become a national policy in the future.
National policy, also known as the foundation of the country, the foundation of the country, naturally cannot be shaken easily. Generally speaking, even if there is a change of dynasty, it is mostly based on the rules and regulations, and some shortcomings will be corrected in a targeted manner, and no fundamental changes will be made.
Change.
The first person in history to try something new was Emperor Qin Yingzheng. After Qin defeated the six eastern kingdoms, he did not continue the feudal system since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but instead established a unified empire.
Many people believe that it was precisely because of this change that people were overwhelmed that the huge Qin Empire was short-lived and came to an end after only two generations of emperors. The subsequent Han Empire learned this lesson and rebuilt a new empire on the ruins.
During the empire, not many innovations were made, so the national destiny lasted four hundred years.
Now we are about to change again. Is this progress or historical regression?
Such doubts are swirling in the minds of many people, but the focus of more people's attention is not these. Historical significance is something that only those scholars who have less time have time to study. Those who can attract public attention are those who are related to their own interests.
Something that matters.
Scholars had the greatest response. The proportion of children of the aristocratic family was higher in education and they had a deeper understanding of policies. In an era when Confucianism had not yet been promoted to the altar, the thinking of intellectuals was not restricted and they faced the same things.
They all have their own unique views and understandings.
Legalist believers rejoiced over this.
Even if they haven't seen the true content of the two decrees, they can all feel the positive significance from Wang Yu's actions.
Isn't it? At a time when most of the world has been decided, the Hussars General did not rush to build momentum for himself and ascend to the altar. Instead, he planned legislation first. And he did not do it behind closed doors, but with a very humble and tolerant attitude, he collected widely.
Opinion, this is simply the spring of Legalism!
After these Legalist believers, who had suppressed themselves for a long time and could only exist as half-Legal and half-Confucian, or even just as officials in the name of punishment, or even as cruel officials, after carefully studying the content of the law, everyone burst into tears for a while, and they were moved.
Can't help myself.
Weakening the imperial power, weakening the power of wealthy families, and replacing it with laws to restrain and maintain the operation of the country. This can no longer be described as spring. It is completely skipping the cold winter and entering the midsummer.
The Qin State at that time claimed to be using Legalist theory, but people who have really studied that period of history would definitely not agree with this. The laws of the Qin State were just for the purpose of more convenient and faster centralization of power. All the resources of the country were completely concentrated on
In the hands of the emperor, he could use it for foreign conquests or squander it for pleasure.
This is the reason why that huge, seemingly invincible and powerful empire collapsed in just a few decades. It followed the twisted legalist doctrine, and the harsh laws brought people not protection, but suffocation.
Feeling of oppression.
Now, the new dynasty is about to be established, and the atmosphere is completely new. It is the time for Legalist disciples to show their talents!
Without much hesitation or hesitation, the Legalist disciples went to Luoyang one after another to prepare to meet Wang Yu and express their ambitions.
Even Wang Yu did not expect that there were so many relatively pure Legalist believers in the world. In just three months, more than 500 scholars gathered to pay their respects.
Among them were Shu Han's name Xiangfa Zhengfa Xiaozhi who he had been searching for but could not find since he had forgotten his place of origin, and Li Yan and Man Chong who he had found before but failed to persuade.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising. The principles of Legalism are not very strong in the first place. The founder Xun Kuang was regarded as a Confucian sage in later generations. His disciples Han Fei and Li Si were also the kind of people who didn't care about their family.
People who only care about actual interests.
Therefore, even after the two cultural catastrophes of Emperor Qin's burning of books and Emperor Wu's respect for Confucianism, Legalism did not suffer much. It just revised its purpose again, from Cool Law to Confucian Jurisprudence.
With the addition of such a large number of talents, the legislative work will naturally be greatly accelerated. However, Wang Yu is not in a hurry. He has to wait for the news to continue to ferment to see if it can arouse further reactions.
The system he planned to establish was actually similar to the enfeoffment system in Europe in the 13th and 4th centuries. He believed that this was the most suitable system for expansion and required the lowest conditions.
Historically, it was driven and maintained by such a system that Europeans completed the largest expansion in the history of human civilization. Except for the North and South Poles, civilization covered almost every corner of the world.
However, he is not a historian and cannot guarantee that his ideas are correct, so he just provides an idea, establishes corresponding principles, and then brainstorms to build a system that is relatively most suitable for the current situation and echoes his own expectations.
come out.
Therefore, there is no need to rush to conclusions.
After Legalism, Mohism and Taoism also had successors arriving one after another.
In the action of deposing hundreds of schools led by Dong Zhongshu, the key targets were Mohism and Taoism, in addition to businessmen. Xu Rong and Ma Jun inherited only one of them, and more Mohist disciples were lost among the people, and some simply disappeared.
, some are passed down from generation to generation and unknown to others.
This time Wang Yu publicly declared to the world, the effect was quite good. Related discussions could be heard in the streets and by the wells. Those who were hiding in the mountains and among the people also got the news. After careful consideration, they finally decided to
Unable to resist the temptation to restore the sect, they came out one after another.
This is just the beginning.
This autumn, or rather this year, is destined to become an important mark in history.
This is the starting point for the revival of Chinese culture. In Wang Yu's previous life, those schools that were lost in history came out from unknown places. Many schools, not to mention Wang Yu, even the learned Cai Yong and Tian Feng
I can't even explain why.
Wang Yu could already imagine how people would evaluate this period of history after the empire lasted for hundreds of years. How would Europeans evaluate the Renaissance? Then the Han people would have similar comments on this period of history.
What followed after the cultural renaissance was the rapid progress of science and technology. What Wang Yu did in Qingzhou in the past few years can only be said to be a first step. In the next few decades, the Han Empire will achieve great results in this field.
Improvement is hard to describe accurately even with the word leap.
With these two aspects of progress, the next step will of course be China's unprecedented expansion. On the map Wang Yu holds in his arms, a super empire has already taken shape, and the next step is to realize it.
Compared with this, reunification can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous trivial matter, not to mention that this year is not the year when the Central Plains was truly unified.
Ever since Wang Yu took control of Qingzhou, it can be said that there have been continuous wars in the past few years. No matter how wealthy Qingzhou is and how well prepared the general government is, they cannot withstand the huge consumption of war.
In addition, after the victory in the war, Qingzhou's territory more than doubled. To stabilize such a large territory would require a considerable amount of manpower and resources.
Therefore, in the past few months, the Qingzhou Army on all fronts has focused on control and has no intention of launching successive wars. Although the war has not yet ended, and all parties are working hard or licking their wounds, the war is indeed over.
A paragraph is over.
Cao Cao was still hesitant about Wang Yu's invitation and had not made a final decision.
In his true heart, he would rather become a prince, but it's a pity that Wang Yu is unwilling to give him this opportunity, and would rather hand over the position of prime minister to him than let him out of his sight.
Wang Yu was confident that Cao Cao would have to submit in the end. His capital was limited and he didn't have much room for maneuver.
As time goes by, Cao Cao's capital will only become less and less, not the other way around.
Without the support of the Kuai and Cai families, Cao Cao would not be able to replenish his military strength in Jingzhou. It is not difficult to capture strong men, but where will the equipment, food and grass come from? If Yu Jin attacks Xiangyang during the rainy season, he may still have a chance to take advantage of a big battle.
Sheng Lai boosted his momentum and asked more aristocratic families to provide substantial support, but now, he could only stare.
The loss of talent is even more fatal. In less than half a year, Cao Cao's subordinates include Man Chong, Du Ji, Dong Zhao and dozens of other famous people who abandoned their posts and left, including important ministers such as Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao!
Some of these people went to Luoyang, and some went back home directly. Anyway, the situation was like this. Even Cao Cao, the lord, was considering surrender. Who had any need to stick to the end?
In the end, he stayed with Cao Cao, and the only staff members other than his relatives were Guo Jia and Xun Yu.
Compared with the disintegrated Cao camp, Jiangdong and Yizhou were full of fighting spirit.
Jiangdong is mainly because Sun Ce is here. This little overlord of Jiangdong is not someone who gives up easily. In the past six months, he has been preparing to fight again.
He himself was stationed in Moling City, training his soldiers and horses while inspecting defense to ensure the security of the territory along the river.
On the other hand, he sent Zhou Yu to negotiate with the Shanyue tribes, and coerced and induced a Shanyue army to come out. Coupled with the new soldiers recruited from Jiangxia, Jingnan, and Huainan, the losses of the Jiangdong Army in the previous war were almost made up.
, and thus regained the power to fight.
After Wang Yu learned about Jiangdong's situation, he was very emotional. Rabbits can bite people when they are anxious, let alone a fierce man like Sun Ce.
In order to avoid over-advancement and the expansion of the war, Wang Yu temporarily canceled the navy's harassment of Jiangdong, but ordered Zhang Liao stationed in Hefei to take strict precautions. He also transferred back Zhang Jiao's cavalry, preparing to wait until the Jingzhou problem was resolved, and then start from the third
Attack in both directions at the same time. If necessary, he would not mind attacking in person again and would join Sun Ce in hunting in Jiangdong.
However, there was no chance of his plan being implemented.
On the first day of December, Wang Yu received urgent military information from Pang Tong, and got something that was beyond his expectation, but something he had known for a long time...
Sun Ce is dead!
Died by assassination!
According to official news from Jiangdong, the assassins of Sun Ce were three of Xu Gong's retainers. However, Pang Tong mentioned another possibility in his letter.
Although no conclusive evidence has been obtained, Pang Tong combined the internal situation in Jiangdong and added some clues to speculate that Sun Ce might have died at the hands of his own people.
This conclusion surprised Wang Yu, so he immediately wrote back to Pang Tong, asking the latter to investigate the matter thoroughly. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
