sweeping the world

Chapter 479 Huan Wen's Character

Huan Wen used to be a county magistrate when he was in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his title still came from the merits of his ancestors.The titles in the small imperial courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are somewhat false. As long as the patriarch of an aristocratic family will basically have a title, and a title is generally a name, it is only a title if you really enjoy the number of households. Three hundred households eat town.

In the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were more marquises than other titles. The problem is not that all marquises have food towns. The one with the most food towns is the head of the Wang family of Langya. He has [-] households. County Marquis.

According to the standards that have existed since the pre-Qin period, Marquises are divided into Tinghou, Xianghou, and County Marquis. They are based on the number of food towns. Generally, they are canonized by place names. For example, Marquis Wu'an enjoys the food township in Wu'an County.God of War Bai Qi was conferred the title of Marquis of Wu'an, and it will not be easy for anyone who can take over the title of "Wu'an" from then on. Usually, those who can become Marquis of Wu'an are definitely people with prominent status or numerous military exploits.

In history, there are three people who have the title of Marquis of Wu'an and are relatively famous.The first one is Zhao Xing, the grandson of Zhao She, the grandson of Ma Fujun of Zhao State, and Zhao Xing, the son of Zhao Mu. The king granted Liu Bang the title of Marquis of Wu'an.The third is Tianfu, Hou Tianfu of Wu'an in the Han Dynasty, who was the same mother and younger brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.In 222 BC, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty collapsed, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne.Because Tian Fu was the younger brother of the Queen Mother, he was named Marquis of Wu'an.

There are many other people who are also Marquis of Wu'an, but most of them are not famous.

The Han Dynasty implemented the twentieth-class nobility system. When it came to Guannei Hou, it was actually distinguished by the number of food towns, continuing the pattern of Ting Hou, Township Hou, and County Hou.

Huan Wen received the treatment of Tinghou. If he was rewarded as a Tinghou for his achievements in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he would feel extremely aggrieved and unfair, but he was in the Han Dynasty.

There is no doubt about the gold content of the title of the Han Dynasty, and what kind of title will definitely be treated in the same way. Liu Yan will not be stingy in rewarding those who have meritorious service in this regard.

"Congratulations, Marquis Xinping." Yuan Qiao said with obvious joy on his face, "You are the first military general to be named Marquis, and you will definitely be written down in the history books."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Huan Wen smiled reservedly: "You have also become a public servant, and the title of Marquis is just around the corner."

They have already left the land of Shu and are on their way to Nanjun.

Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao teamed up again, and they were only guarded by personal soldiers. When they arrived in Nanjun, they would take over the command of the local troops. The 1 Imperial Guards and [-] Southern Expedition troops brought by Li Kuang were included in the command system. .They will lead an army of [-] to attack Jingzhou. After defeating Jingzhou, they will go west to Ningzhou, and they will have to attack Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.

This time, he was responsible for conquering Jingzhou, Ningzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiaozhou. Huan Wen had nothing to be dissatisfied with. He had already accomplished the feat of destroying Li's Chenghan family. Don't be too greedy after eating the meat yourself. After all, the rest of his colleagues It's time to show off. If you don't like Tang Shui and only want to grab meat, you will make enemies.

In fact, Huan Wen is not yet an official Marquis of Guannei, and needs to be canonized by Liu Yan in person. There will be a canonization ceremony, and then it will be announced to the world to show that he is listening.Only after completing the procedures can he be a real Marquis of Guannei. He is currently enjoying the treatment of Marquis of Guannei.

The treatment of Guannei Marquis is still divided into levels. For example, if Huan Wen is a Tinghou, he can have one hundred bu. The bu are not like personal soldiers. The buqu are Huan Wen's real private soldiers, while the personal soldiers are sent by the public to protect him.Compared with his personal soldiers, Buqu only obeys orders from Yu Huanwen, the kind who listens to everything no matter what he does.

In addition to the tribe, the Tinghou among the Han Guanneihou will also be rewarded with [-] acres of fertile land, a mansion of the corresponding level specially built by the official, and a reward of [-] slaves and some wealth.

For nobles, it's all about face, otherwise there wouldn't be so many shitty things that would make them sworn enemies because of face.Then the more important thing is that after reaching the level of Guanneihou, you can hang a distinctive plaque, and you can also stand two stone lions at the door. The Guanneihou of the general can even place a halberd with a flag at the door of the house.

Huan Wen was indeed the first Marquis of the Han Kingdom, and even Ran Min, who conquered Yecheng and Xiangguo, is now only No. 16 Daliang Zao.Xu Zheng and Lu Tai, who followed Liu Yan to rise up in Weimo, one of them is still a Zuo Geng, and the other is just an official official, and their titles are lower than Yuan Qiao's.

When he arrived at Nanjun, Huan Wen immediately checked the files. He was eager to know what was happening with the remaining friendly troops.

The season has entered autumn, and the autumn harvest is more than a month away, but the wars in all aspects of Han have not stopped.

On the northern line, the Northern Expedition Corps led by Ran Min conquered Huguan and Hukou Pass. There are two routes to the northwest. One route uses Zhangshui to march into Leping County and Shijie Zhao Jun to fight in Shangai, and the other route is in Pingyuan County. On the edge of Yeli Mountain, Zhao Jun was entangled with Shijie, and the battle was entered by both sides with cavalry.

In addition to the fighting in the northwest, the Northern Expedition Corps was still on the defensive in the direction of Jizhou. Compared with the fierce entanglement on the Bingzhou side, the Youzhou border that had been taken over by Murong Yan and the Jizhou border on the Han side seemed relatively calm.

Murong Yanguo is still fighting the defending Han army in Liaodong, and they have to deal with those resurgent countries or forces, especially Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Kyushu, Izumo, etc. led by the Han army. Didn't let them relax.

In addition to those dominated by Han, Murong Yan's conquest against Tuoba Dai was also going on.

Tuoba Daiguo attached great importance to Shuozhou because of Shijie Zhaoguo, so of course they were not facing the Huns.Tuoba Shiyijian didn't want to provoke the Shijie Zhao Kingdom, which could no longer afford to lose. He couldn't let the Murong Yan Kingdom invade the eastern border.

Since Liu Yan issued the order to kill Hu, the relationship between Tuoba Daiguo and Han has completely cooled down. After Xie Ai was expelled by Tuoba Shiyijian, the relationship between the two countries has fallen into a freezing point. I understand In other words, it entered the ice age.

Because of the change in relationship, Tuoba Shiyijian can openly refuse to admit the debt he owed to Han. His move is very interesting. It directly makes Han have no friendly countries other than the vassal state, but it really did it all over the world All enemies.

Huan Wen was still looking through the files, but someone came to report, saying that Yu Yi sent someone to send a greeting card.

It's very interesting to say that, as the head of the family, Yu Yi, one of the four great clans south of the Yangtze River, he has been living a very carefree life recently. First, he led the family descendants to play around the territory of Han, and it seems that he even went to the grassland.After he returned to the south, he did nothing else, and once again rejected some of Chu Po's proposals and requests, causing the Yu family to be scolded bloody by a group of people headed by Chu Po.Now he actually appeared in Nanjun again, and even came to see Huan Wen.

Nanjun was first established in the period of the First Emperor, and it has not been a county that has been valued. The only thing worthy of special mention is the Battle of Yiling that took place in the Three Kingdoms period. Lu Xun set fire to the company camp.

Nanjun, which has a small population and an underdeveloped economy, has always been the capital of Jiangling. After Huan Wen came over, he disregarded Yuan Qiao's dissuasion and chose the most luxurious mansion in the city to live in.The reason why Yuan Qiao persuaded Huan Wen to live in the military camp was because Liu Yan lived in the military camp wherever he went.

"Wen Xuan stayed in the most luxurious mansion just to learn from Wang Jian's old story." Huan Wen quickly invited Yu Yi to come over to meet him, and to show his importance, he personally went to the door to welcome him. Xiao Feixiao made a point of explaining, and then asked later: "Yugong is here to play in Nanjun? Have you ever been to Yiling to watch the old place of the war?"

Needless to say, Yu Yi really went to Yiling, where the description of "right and wrong, success or failure, turning heads empty. The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times" is there. What traces of the old battlefield, the mountain has grown trees and green grass again, and it has become a green hill again.

Yu Yi saw from the two rows of long halberds in front of the mansion that Huan Wen had become a Marquis of Guan Nei in the Han Dynasty. He laughed when he heard Huan Wen say that he learned from Wang Jian's old stories, and did not answer Huan Wen's questions, but in a relaxed tone. He said: "Newly promoted Lord Hou, you are saying that the King of Han has no tolerance for others, and is a suspicious and jealous king."

In the past, Wang Jian controlled 60 soldiers of the Qin Empire. In order not to let the Zhao family, who was still the king of Qin at that time, be suspicious of the government, Wang Jian kept writing letters back to ask for money, silk, land, and land when he was conquering the state of Chu. Women, to show their pursuit of those.Qin Wang saw Wang Jian's intention at a glance, and talked and laughed a few words to Wei Weiliao of the country at that time.

Not everyone has the self-confidence of Ying Zheng, nor does everyone have the tolerance of Ying Zheng. Especially after Liu Bang and Lu Fei massacred the heroes, the Chinese civilization began to use the phrase "higher merits to surpass the master". As a A minister cannot perform great service. To perform a great service is to step into the grave dug by the king. Therefore, even if he performs a great service, he should do his best to eliminate the king's suspicion of him.

"Yu Gong..." Huan Wen suppressed his smile and said seriously: "This would be meaningless!"

Yu Yi didn't come here specifically to tease Huan Wen, nor did he intend to drive a wedge between the Han monarch and his ministers.He must have something to do here, and before he formally talked about that topic, teasing was just a way of showing intimacy.

The friendship between Huan Wen and Yu Yi is based on an unequal relationship.At that time, although Huan Wen was the patriarch of the Huan family of the four great clans, at least five Huan clans were needed to be comparable to the Yu clan who was in its heyday. The Yu family supported him in sending troops to attack Li's Chenghan.

If it had been a few years in the morning, or if Huan Wen was still working with the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he would never have spoken to Yu Yi with that demeanor and tone.He has been in the Han Dynasty now, so he doesn't need to be afraid of the Yu clan anymore. He feels that he is already extraordinary, and he is somewhat ashamed of currying favor with Yu Yi before.

The current Yu clan has withdrawn from the officialdom, and its strength is somewhat weaker, but it is still the second clan south of the Yangtze River. The first clan is the Langxie Wang clan. Two Yu clans are equal to one Wang clan. At least eleven Huan family members are worth one Wang family member.

Yu Yi could sense the difference in Huan Wen's attitude, there was no change in facial expression, but he would not open his mouth about the things he was supposed to talk about, and only talked about romance.The reason why he came to Huan Wen was because he had the impression that Huan Wen could talk about friendship, so that he could make deals that were beneficial to both parties.

Huan Wen could probably guess the intention of Yu Yi's arrival, and it was precisely because he guessed it that his attitude changed.

Probably, a person who is eating and drinking has become rich, and he has an inferiority complex because he has been eating and drinking with someone before. When he waits to become richer than the person who was eating and drinking with him before, he will feel very shameless, subconsciously. If you want to surpass or suppress in every aspect, your attitude will unconsciously carry a trace of hostility that you don't understand.

Huan Wen, who took the time to spare, began to feel impatient with Yu Yi's rambunctious talk about the past and the past, but he didn't get to the point after a long time.

"Yu Gong, the Shouchun War has broken out, and Matou Mountain has been captured by General Zhengnan." Huan Wen didn't want to continue talking nonsense, and continued to point out: "The Yangtze River is completely controlled by the Han navy. Hiding in Shaopi and Chaohu Lake."

The Yangtze River was a barrier for the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was because the Jin State Navy had an absolute advantage in the Yangtze River that it was able to settle down after the Hu people controlled the Central Plains. The barbarian came to smack his face.

The fighting power of the Han Inland River Fleet may not be very strong, but after the number reaches a certain number, whether it is strong or not has little effect. For water warfare, it is a frontal battle. Even if you lose ten ships, you can fight off the opposite one. In the end, as long as the Han army If the fleet can wipe out the enemy's warships, it will be the final victory.

"Yes, yes, before Emperor Wu, the victory rate of the Han (Western Han) against Hulu and barbarians was very low, but in the war between countries, we only talk about the final result, not counting the number of victories of the two sides during the war." Yu Yi laughed. For a long time, I really laughed in my heart that the Han army's water warfare did not have the slightest technical content, and it was really just piled up with numbers.He laughed so hard that tears were about to flow, and he said intermittently: "Today's big Han is so strong that there is no reason to say it. Throughout history, there is no country that can fight everywhere all the year round, and still have no shortage of food, fodder and armaments. Not only that, no wonder the big man dares to be the enemy of the whole world."

Huan Wen was extremely depressed. He didn't want to bring up such a topic, but he couldn't help recalling the foreign wars in the early Western Han Dynasty.

To be honest, the winning rate of the Western Han army in foreign wars from Liu Bang to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was really low, less than 40.00%.The Han Empire began to grow stronger after Liu Che's militarism, but the winning rate of foreign wars was as high as 80.00%.

Huan Wen was depressed because he could tell that Yu Yi was mocking Han for being too militaristic.
