The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 327 Grassland reduction and maintenance of the country

At night, a letter was delivered by a flying pigeon. Song Ran woke up Liu Bian and handed the letter to Liu Bian.

It was an urgent letter from Mitsuya. After opening it, I saw that it was a letter from Nanyue. The aristocratic families in Nanyue occupied several counties and counties, and it was already a big trend that could not be lost.

The sea transportation there is well developed, and the local wealthy families mostly rely on sea transportation to survive.They are very resistant to the upcoming industrialization reform, which will have a huge impact on them. In addition, there are almost no real power officials in Guangdong, so it is difficult for them to get a share of the pie.

So several local wealthy families contacted the local resistance army in the southwest to occupy the land of two counties and five counties. Through the propaganda of demonizing the imperial court, no less than 10 rebels had been gathered.Attacks on passing ships on the southeast coast have already caused considerable losses.

There are also letters from several ministers, who have beheaded Wen Yingxun, the governor of Guangdong, transferred Yizhou Mu Zhang Zude to Guangdong as governor, and led an army of [-] Yizhou to march.

Send a letter to Nanyang and the Annan Governor's Office to mobilize the navy to escort passing ships at sea, search the sea area for opportunities to hunt down pirates.

Liu Bian was going to explode in anger, and still underestimated the background of the wealthy family.

Liu Bian handed the letter to Song Ran: "Start tomorrow and go straight to Luoyang."

Afraid of waking Baosi and Zhao Feiyan, Liu Bian closed the door, and continued: "Let the six departments send capable officials to Luoyang to form a temporary headquarters, mobilize new troops from all over the country to deploy along the south bank of the Yellow River, and wait for orders. The new troops in the southern counties immediately Go straight to Guangdong, and we must wipe out all the rebels in Guangdong within two months."

Song Ran knelt down on the ground: "Observe the order!"

Liu Bian went back to the room without going to bed, sitting at the table thinking.Bao Si got up and put a piece of clothing on him: "Your Majesty, do you want my concubine to order someone to fetch some hot water?"

Liu Bian raised his hand and patted the stool in front of him, signaling Bao Si to sit down.

Zhao Feiyan couldn't find two people on the bed, so she wrapped the two quilts completely around her body.Sitting in front of Liu Bian, Bao Si smoothed out the messy hair on Liu Bian's cheeks: "Why is Your Majesty so melancholy?"

Liu Bian held her hand and said, "Is it cold?"

"not cold."

Liu Bian said coldly: "I am cold, my heart is cold."

Liu Bian paused and continued: "I just want the people to live like human beings, and these moths jumped out to oppose it.

Where were they when the barbarians invaded and slaughtered the city?They are supporting the enemy and leading the way for the barbarians.

Now they are all subjects of the great Han Dynasty, they feel superior to others, if I don't agree, neither will the common people.He wants the ocean of the people to drown these scum! "

Bao Si could see that Liu Bian was really angry, and said comfortingly: "The clans of the aristocratic family suck the blood of the people to survive. As long as their own interests are not damaged, they will definitely not let themselves be in danger. They calculated It is so clear that no one can match it.”

"Yeah, we still have to rely on appeasing and infiltrating them. After all, simply relying on killing, killing one group will still create another group. Human nature is so hard to stop." Liu Bian said helplessly.

Liu Bian stopped talking, and Bao Si just looked at him with his hands on his chin.

Liu Bian's thoughts drifted away, thinking of the great achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Now he has surpassed him by a lot in terms of martial arts, but in terms of governing the country, he is still far behind.

The Great Han's war against the nomadic peoples in the north achieved unprecedented results during the reign of Emperor Wu. They beat the Huns to the west and never dared to cross the Tianshan Mountains.

Before I crossed over, the Qiang people rebelled repeatedly, which has always been the heart disease of the court. Until I sent a large army to push all the way to the west, this could not completely solve the rebellion of the Qiang people, and there are still a large number of Qiang rebels hiding in no man's land.

Cooperating with the Huns who relocated back from the north, the Han army has been unable to capture their main force, unable to complete their efforts and completely wipe them out.

The Han Dynasty and these foreign races were mortal enemies of each other, and it was difficult to assimilate them through mixing.Liu Bian also considered Liu Ji's suggestion to kill all the people on the grassland, but due to the huge cost and the disproportionate gain and loss, there has been no good solution.

Until the ministers discussed and issued an order to reduce the population, the Han army entered the grassland every year to count the population of the grassland and slaughter some disobedient tribes to achieve the purpose of controlling the population of the grassland.

The more they killed, the more they were afraid.Now, except for a few rebels who behaved strangely, the Huns can only rotate between a few pastures stipulated by the court, and a large number of horses are taken away by the court, giving them only enough food to survive.

Thinking about the slaughter of the people in the Central Plains by the Huns for hundreds of years, Liu Bian felt that he could not treat them too much.The conflict between the two cultures is not simply a conflict of interests.

Liu Bian has always had a dislike for non-big Han people, so first of all, the generals treated foreigners as slaves, killing heads everywhere.

It can be foreseen that it will definitely lead to a large-scale rebellion. He has expectations in his heart, so he has been committed to improving the overall strength of the big man.

The construction of the army is particularly important, and the formation of the new army is a leapfrog upgrade of the great Han's force.Compared with the old-style army fighting around with muskets, the new-style army understands what they are fighting for. The introduction of the political commissar structure makes the new-style army extremely cohesive.

This brought about an increase in combat power. According to the battle report submitted by Wang Ping, they only took two hours in Anyi to uproot all Wubao and wipe out the Dong clan.With a number of 1500 people outside the city of Anyi and without using heavy weapons, they wiped out all the clans who came to the alliance at the cost of less than a hundred casualties.

Anyi's blood stained the earth, and many families who were frightened voluntarily surrendered to the court, Shi Xie was so busy that he was almost exhausted.Yu Qian didn't cry poor even for half a month, and the assets of the aristocratic families who were confiscated were countless, which could catch up with the tax revenue of today's big men for several years.

There is also money for reforms in various places, and progress is rapid.With fewer obstacles from aristocratic families, the common people are more motivated.

Liu Bian didn't go to bed, and went to sleep in the next room, but Bao Si tactfully did not follow.

Early the next morning, Liu Bian asked Song Ran to prepare to leave for Luoyang.

Song Ran cupped his hands and said, "It's all ready, just wait for His Majesty's order to set off."

Liu Bian looked out, and sure enough, hundreds of elite riders had mounted their horses and waited, all covered in iron armor, with indescribable majesty.The two leading knights were dressed in armor and held painted halberds. They presumably were Ding Feng and Du Yu who led the guards and followed them all the way.

He will not continue to make unannounced visits in the future, and the two can also lead a large group of troops to follow him. He is very satisfied with the two along the way. This trip to Luoyang, he can arrange for the two to lead a new army to counter the rebellion.

When they returned to Chang'an, let the two of them go to Central Asia to fight against the local aliens to hone their skills and add another touch to their Bole reputation.
