In the past, those officials would punish a member of the family indifferently even if they broke the law. In the end, the people who reported the crime would still suffer, so that the people who were wronged dared not speak out in anger...
I heard that Liu Zhang killed hundreds of thousands of descendants of the noble family in Hanzhong, Jiangzhou (according to Fan Lixiang), and the people felt proud and proud. They finally met a good official who was not pretentious and not afraid of the noble family.
Now they want to see if Fan Lixiang is really consistent with her words and deeds. If Sima Xiang goes in with the gold and really gets benefits, these simple people will be very disappointed.
Often, a person or a group only has one chance to win credibility.
Just as the common people were looking around, they saw from a distance that a man suddenly rolled out of Fan Lixiang's military tent. If he took a closer look, wasn't it Sima Xiang?
Sima Xiang was followed by a large number of Sichuan army generals, all of them were heavily armored and majestic, pointing at Sima Xiang and yelling curses.
"Immortal."
"A killer with a thousand swords."
"He who chops off the head."
What a friendly curse, especially coming from those generals who looked like they were wearing formal military armor. The people just thought it must be Sima Xiang, that high-sounding guy, trying to bribe the "evil-hating" female general Fan Lixiang, and pissed off General Fan.
The group of upright generals under his command.
Sima Xiang was driven out of the camp, and the people surrounded him from a distance, with expressions of hatred and contempt. They pointed at the disgraced Sima Xiang and whispered to each other, all laughing at Sima Xiang. Sima Xiang was pushed to the ground with an old face.
She was completely devastated, and she hated Fan Lixiang so much in her heart.
At this moment, Fan Lixiang walked out of the tent wearing white armor with red stripes, followed by Chen Ying and other General Jingnan. Every step she took was filled with the awe-inspiring righteousness of the universe.
Fan Lixiang's face was as cold as frost, and she stretched out her delicate white palm to the side. Chen Ying respectfully handed a plate of gold to Fan Lixiang's hand. Fan Lixiang originally just wanted to make a cold gesture, but she didn't expect that the gold was more powerful than she imagined.
Shen, I almost couldn't hold on. Fortunately, when I was a child, I followed my father to perform in the streets, and I just did these easy tasks, so I didn't make a big mistake.
Fan Lixiang held the gold plate and, under the gaze of the people, walked step by step to Sima Xiang who had fallen to the ground. She pointed at the people talking around her and said in a deep voice to Sima Xiang: "Sima Xiang, look at it.
How many people hate you? What your Sima family has done is outrageous, but you still want to bribe me?
Let me tell you, you made a wrong calculation. This general is not Cai Mao, and the leader of Yizhou, Liu Huangshu, is not the rebel Liu Biao. From today on, the lawless era of you wealthy and distinguished families has passed. With this general and Uncle Liu here,
Whoever dares to oppress good people and use power to bully others will be doomed."
Fan Lixiang said, looking disdainfully at the plate of gold in her hand: "Don't talk about this little gold, even ten thousand taels, ten million taels, there is no way I can change my mind. I will never waver in my determination to redress the grievances of the people."
.”
Fan Li's Xiangyin Hall was filled with awe-inspiring righteousness.
As she spoke, Fan Lixiang tilted the gold plate and smashed down ingots of gold. Poor Sima Xiang, an old man with osteoporosis, was so dizzy from being hit that he couldn't even say a word. The two servants saw that they were all stunned.
I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Ingots of gold were smashed down one by one, and the strong visual effect shocked the eyes of the people. Fan Lixiang's generous and righteous temperament, which regarded gold as dirt, deeply shocked the onlookers. They were silent at first, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers.
"Long live General Fan, long live Uncle Liu Huang."
"Long live General Fan, long live Uncle Liu Huang."
"The mighty army is invincible."
The cheers of the people were deafening, and the lazy "Shenwei Army" soldiers suddenly felt extremely glorious. They cheered up one by one, their faces were radiant, and they felt extremely proud to be a member of the Shenwei Army.
The flying red battle flag of the Divine Power Army became even brighter at this moment.
The peasant leader pleads for the people, the beautiful female general shows off her power, and treats gold like dirt.
Countless halos enveloped Fan Lixiang.
From this moment on, the reputation of Fan Lixiang and her Divine Power Army spread like wildfire. Fan Lixiang became a highly respected general in the hearts of the people, and the Divine Power Army became the most trusted army by the people. Wherever the Divine Power Army went, Tanan could finally be seen.
Eat a pot of pulp to welcome the scene.
Because of Fan Lixiang's relationship with the Shenwei Army, the impression of the entire Sichuan Army in the hearts of the people began to change. The lower-class people under Liu Zhang began to rethink everything the Sichuan Army did, including the massacres in Jiangzhou, Hanzhong, and Wuling, and Chai Sang's return army attack
Mountains were crossed and two rivers burst their banks to provide disaster relief.
Even though Gu Xiangyang's nightmare lingered, the overall impression of the Sichuan Army began to turn positive in the hearts of these simple people.
In addition to the two prefectures of Jing and Yi, in addition to the mainstream of family propaganda, there are also different voices gradually emerging.
Fan Lixiang poured one plate and then another, all of which fell on Sima Xiang. Sima Xiang, with a bruised nose and swollen face, escaped in embarrassment amidst the cries of the people with the help of two servants.
Fan Lixiang didn't say a word to the people. She turned around and walked past Chen Ying. She said without leaving a trace: "Put away the gold after the people have dispersed."
…………
At night, Liu Zhang picked up the booklets handed over by Li Yan and Zhang Ren to review them. Li Yan and Zhang Ren had already approved these booklets, and he only read them one last time.
After observing these two days, Li Yan's ability to govern was indeed as good as in history. Many chores were in order, and Liu Zhang felt more at ease when Zhang Ren was doing things.
Zhang Ren is a disciple of both Tong Yuan and Jia Long. His martial arts skills are as good as those of a general, and he is also considered to be top-notch in arranging troops and formations. After fighting all the way from Fucheng to Xiangyang, he has matured a lot and is completely
You can stand alone.
The most rare thing is that Zhang Ren is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and has no tendency to be overjoyed or impulsive. Liu Zhang can rest assured of anything assigned to him.
"I sent the order back, Li Yan was promoted to the Grand Administrator of Xiangyang County, Jiang Wan, the Magistrate of Baichuan County, was transferred to the Grand Administrator of Nan County to govern Jiangling, and Huang Zhong was transferred to Xiangyang to await orders."
"Yes." The recordkeeper agreed.
Liu Zhang clutched his pen and thought, there is only so much he can do now. Huang Zhong said he would not participate in the Battle of Jingzhou, and now that Liu Biao is terminally ill, he has nothing to worry about.
Through the Xiangjiang disaster relief incident, Jiang Wan's ability was vividly demonstrated. He comforted the victims, allocated food, maintained law and order, prevented and treated diseases, and rebuilt the river embankment, all in an orderly manner. The surrounding counties that had not surrendered before were inspired by his virtue.
, this is enough to prove that Jiang Wan can take on a big responsibility.
"Jiang Wan, Fan Lixiang." Liu Zhang read these two names. When there was a shortage of civil servants, Fan Lixiang was able to find such a wise person for him, which was a real help in times of need.
"Xing Daorong, Chen Ying, Liu Min, Liu Min..." Liu Zhang thought about the names of the generals under Fan Lixiang's account, and suddenly remembered that Liu Min was Jiang Wan's cousin. He raised his head and asked the recorder: "Who is this Liu Min?"
Who? Is he as talented as Jiang Wan?"
The clerk thought for a while and said: "Liu Min and Magistrate Jiang came from the same township. They are both from poor families. They are both talented and famous in the township, but it is not clear what their real political talents are."
Liu Zhang nodded slightly. Nowadays, many counties have not found officials to fill them, leaving the people without governance. Liu Zhang sent military generals to govern. He could not manage any political talents. As long as he could talk eloquently, that would be enough.
When will Liu Min be recruited?
When Liu Zhang thought of this, he was suddenly stunned. Did he actually want to poach people from his subordinates?
At this time, the record officer frowned and said: "My lord mentioned the Jingnan Army, but my subordinates have something to report. A few days ago, General Fan gave his army a new name, called Shenwei Army, and it seems to be very popular with the people. These days
Every day, many people line up outside the Shenwei Military Camp to sign up to be soldiers."
"Oh?" Liu Zhang raised his head in surprise, "This is a strange thing. Since our Sichuan Army left Yizhou, no one has volunteered to join the army. We spent a lot of effort in Jiangling to recruit several hundred people.
Soldier, Fan Lixiang is really capable."
"Master, don't you think it's something to worry about?"
Liu Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Did she accept it?"
"It should be confiscated, I'm not sure." The clerk shook his head. Judging from the military pay, food, fodder and ordnance applied for, it was indeed confiscated, but who knows the details. Anyway, many common people now send eggs to the Shenwei Army.
"Then just wait."
At this time, Yang Zishang walked in from outside the door and presented a booklet to Liu Zhang, "My lord, this is the total reported property of more than thirty large and small aristocratic families in Xiangyang and more than seventy large and wealthy families. My subordinates made a summary.
"
Liu Zhang took the booklet, looked at it, and casually said to Yang Zishang: "Isn't Qin Ming spending time with you recently? What happened to him and Fan Lixiang?"
Yang Zishang explained in detail the conflict between Qin Ming and Fan Lixiang.
Liu Zhang nodded and suddenly frowned: "Does the Sima family have so little property? I didn't realize that the Huang family has so much property."
Liu Zhang thought again of that ugly girl Huang Yueying, who had ruined her hard-won good marriage. He didn't know if she would get married at this time, but if she had money, she should be able to get married.
"The Huang family is a local aristocratic family, and naturally has more property. The Sima family, Pang family, and Zhuge family all moved from other places. None of the clans are in Jingzhou, especially the Zhuge family. Their property is almost zero, and most of the people have left.*
Yes, there are no statistics on it."
"Well, that's good." Liu Zhang nodded, and was suddenly startled when he saw a few rows of words on the left: "What's the matter with listing these gold and silver artifacts later?"
"That's to raise money from the family."
Liu Zhang raised his head in confusion. Will the family donate money to the Sichuan Army? Liu Zhang looked at Yang Zishang's evil face and said suspiciously: "You are not forcing it, are you?"
"Absolutely voluntary." Yang Zishang promised.
"That's fine. If it's forced, even if you turn it over to the treasury, you won't be able to escape the guilt."
"Subordinates, please keep this in mind."
"What's in your hand?" Liu Zhang noticed that Yang Zishang was holding something like a thread-bound book from later generations.
"This is the Huang family's accounting book. It's made of paper. My subordinates find it rare and often carry it with them."
"Paper-based?" Liu Zhang stood up in surprise, took the accounting book, and looked at it carefully. From the invention of Caihou paper to the Three Kingdoms period, there have been many improvements in paper, but there are two major constraints that cannot be overcome. One is that it is expensive.
, the second is that it is inconvenient to write on, all types of paper are the same at most.
Such an account book must cost a lot of money. The Huang family is really rich and they all use paper for accounting. Liu Zhang sighed that the account books of his pastorate still use bamboo slips.
But as soon as he opened the first page, Liu Zhang's eyes were blinded by seven words.
"This volume is worth thirty cents."
There is also a row of small words below, handmade: Huang Wanzhen.
…………
It rained heavily for seven days and seven nights, and it cleared up on the seventh day. This was also the time to give Pang Tong an answer. According to the spies, after Chen Sheng left Xiangyang, he colluded with the Xiling rebels who were defeated by Huang Zhong, and became a bandit in Jingshan. They set eyes on Xiangyang.
, there is a strong tendency to attack again as soon as they leave Xiangyang.
Huangzu of Jiangxia refused to accept Zhang Yun, so Zhang Yun led the Jingzhou navy to garrison at the small port of Jingling. More than 100,000 troops of the Jingzhou navy were transferred to the battles of Baichuan and Xiangyang. Less than 100,000 troops were left, and their strength was greatly weakened.
Huang Zu didn't know what to think. Because he had a grudge against Jiangdong, he couldn't surrender. He also obeyed Liu Biao's command but refused to listen to the propaganda. He was not at odds with Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others. Now he has a strong trend. Jiangxia is the place where the four battles are fought.
, Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Central Plains, and the strategic hub of the three frontiers, is Huang Zu really so stupid?
The Jiangdong Army led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai stagnated when they reached the mouth of Sanjiang River. They were either sending people to persuade Zhang Yun and Huangzu to surrender, or they were plotting to conquer Jingzhou.
Liu Zhang decided to solve the internal problems as soon as possible, and then calm down and start dealing with these four armies.
During the seven-day period, Jingzhou's government affairs were initially straightened out, which also represented the official entry of the Sichuan Army into Jingzhou. Liu Zhang held a celebration ceremony on the outskirts of the city.
The sky is bright and clear, the clouds are high and the river is far away.
Liu Zhang led the civil and military officials to the high platform, and the three armies stood in the field. Some noble families were invited to watch the ceremony, and the field was surrounded by Xiangyang people watching the excitement.
Liu Zhang shook his clothes and sat on the high seat, with Xiao Furong standing behind him. Fazheng and other civil servants sat at the bottom, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Shamoke, Fan Lixiang, Yang Ren, Deng Zhi, Gao Pei, Lei Tong
Waiting in this formation to gallop and supervise the formation.
Li Yan stepped forward with the proclamation in hand and read it loudly at the top of his lungs.
"Husband, the rivers flowing into the sea have many twists and turns, and the country has been prosperous and devastated. Now the Han Dynasty is in trouble, which is a disaster for the country. In the north, Cao Cao is holding the emperor hostage, and the princes in the four directions are many and unsubordinate. The rivers and mountains are chapped, and the people are separated from their shackles.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who was a member of the royal family, did not care about the emperor's virtues, was not filial to the emperor, had an army of 400,000 men, sat back and watched the rebellious ministers and traitors bring harm to the Han Dynasty, and his crime should not be forgiven.
Fortunately, God blessed the Han Dynasty, Yizhou Mu, Liu Zhang, the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, had a heart for the country, raised a hundred thousand troops to attack the unconquered ministers, defeated Liu Pan in Hanshou, refused Jiangdong to Chaisang, defeated the mountains and rivers, captured Jiangling, and rode on Baichuan, imposing a powerful force.
Add two Xiangxiangs to save the people of Jingzhou from fire and water, help the Han Dynasty from falling, support the Han Dynasty, and benefit all the people.
In these troubled times, the emperor was trapped in Xuchang, and the land in all directions was inhabited by virtuous people. Uncle Liu Huang led Jingzhou as a pastoral guard on behalf of the emperor, with the hope of all people.
The emperor's uncle Renyi, in memory of the traitor Liu Biao's Han clan clan, pardoned his death penalty, and three days later he was sent to Mount Emei, and his son Liu Cong handed over the seal and ribbon of Jingzhou on his behalf."
Li Yan closed the bamboo slip with force and looked at Liu Cong.
Liu Cong stood next to Cai. The adult Liu Cong looked a little timid. When his name was read, he shrank from Cai. Cai gently held his shoulder and pushed him.
"You will be dispatched to Mount Emei in three days." Cai knew very well that this was the deadline Liu Zhang gave him. If Liu Biao did not die within three days...
"Sir, please." He said loudly.
The fierce and ferocious appearance and the loud voice frightened Liu Cong to the point where he dared not move even more. It took him a long time before he tremblingly accepted the seal ribbon handed over by the civil servant. He looked at Liu Zhang who was staring coldly in front of him with fearful eyes and walked over cautiously.
At this moment, a rumbling sound was suddenly heard, and then the earth trembled. The faces of the noble families and the people had a look of fear. They didn't know what was going on. At this time, under the command of the general, the three Sichuan troops raised their spears and roared in unison.
"Ho, ho, ho, long live, ho, ho, ho, long live."
"Long live."
"Long live."
All the noble families who came to watch the ceremony were shocked, and all the people were shocked. Liu Cong stepped on the trembling stone slabs of the high platform, and was frightened by the shouts of all the troops. He rolled down the steps with the plate and the printed ribbon in his hand.
"Uh-huh."
There was a sound of drawing a sword, and he said loudly and loudly: "Young master lost his seal and ribbon, and he is disrespectful. He should be punished for his crime."
Liu Cong looked at the giant hammer in Hao Sheng's hand. He was so scared that his whole body went limp and fell to the bluestone floor. He looked at Liu Zhang and Hao Sheng with fearful eyes. His whole body became stiff and he could no longer move.
Liu Zhang raised his hand, and all the guards sheathed their swords.
Fazheng stared at the ground and said in a deep voice: "Liu Cong has lost his seal, so he should be executed. My lord is benevolent and righteous, thinking of his youth and ignorance, and forgives his sins. He will be replaced by his mother, and he will kneel down to teach him."
"Kneel down and teach."
These two words came from Fazheng's mouth in a deep voice. Cai's face moved as she stood dignifiedly. Her hands that were placed in front of her abdomen almost slipped. The thumb and index finger of her right hand pinched the pad of her left finger tightly.
Liu Zhang looked straight ahead, and the three armies struck their shields with their swords, shouting incessantly and deafeningly.
The generals looked at Cai, who hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped out. In front of tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers, leaders of big and small wealthy families, and thousands of people, Cai picked up the seal ribbon from the steps, walked to Liu Zhang, and knelt down.
Go down.
The generals who were supervising the formation pressed their hands, the army stopped shouting, and everything fell silent.
Cai Mao, Cai Yu and other backbones of the Cai family looked at the high platform and were startled. Other families also changed their expressions. As the largest local family in Jingxiang, the Cai family, under the cultivation of Liu Biao, dominated the sky in Jingzhou. The Cai family was among other families.
In front of everyone, you must be superior to others.
Although the Cai family is a female, she has single-handedly laid the foundation for the rise of the Cai family. Although she has always lived in the attic, and Cai Hao, Cai Yu and the Cai family chiefs are responsible for everything, she has always been consistent with her words in the Cai family. Even if Cai Hao and the Cai family
The elder also obeyed Cai's advice.
But at this moment, this man who had always had a straight face and always showed courtesy to every official and general in Jingzhou who saw him, knelt down in front of Liu Zhang, buried his head deep in his head, and raised his seal and ribbon high.
All powerful people in the world are awe-inspiring.
And this also achieves the goal of Fa-rectification: to bow down to others, first to bow to others.
The sound of rumbling came from afar. Today was the day when the Han River opened its floodgates. The floods that had accumulated for seven days set off huge waves and swept into the ashes and silence of ancient Xiangyang.
Ancient Xiangyang has passed away, and the entire city, except for the ruins and broken walls, is about to become a white land.
Liu Zhang took the seal ribbon and held it high to the northern royal family. The troops shouted again with great power.
"Lord." A general from the army ran under the steps of the high platform and said loudly: "On this grand occasion, the clouds are vast and the sky is clear. It is a great opportunity to eliminate traitors and rebels. Then we will march north to the Central Plains to rule the world. At the end of the day, Qin Ming will
I have something important to report to my lord." (To be continued.
