At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

At this time, the Qingzhou Navy has gradually formed its combat effectiveness, and the time is almost up. Guo Peng began to arrange combat missions for the Qingzhou Navy.

Guo Peng asked Tai Shici to lead the Qingzhou navy to cross the sea, bypass the Sun Wu regime's Yangtze River defense line, land directly from their flanks and rear, and rush to the heart of the Sun Wu regime.

Do you think I'm going to confront you and overthrow you?

No, no, I'm going to stab you in the butt.

It doesn't take much effort or time to tidy up Jiangdong.

Guo Peng did not intend to fight a national war with Jiangdong at all, because it was unnecessary.

Right now, apart from the fact that Guo Peng may be needed to fight the national war in person to re-open the Western Regions, the three warlords in the south of the Yangtze River no longer need Guo Peng to fight in person.

They are no longer strategic enemies, but tactical enemies.

Strategically, the Guo Wei regime has won.

When the time comes, leave Sun Wu to Zhang Liao, Liu Biao to Le Jin, and Liu Zhang to Cao Ren. Guo doesn't need to do anything himself.

His merits are already great enough, enough for him to be stable for a while and prepare for the next thing.

He began to design the strategic concept of the Wei Empire after he ascended the throne.

Chapter 713 720 Two Guo Wei's National Policy

The issues that Guo Peng needs to consider now are different from before.

It used to be the thinking of hegemony, but now it is the thinking of emperor.

As an emperor and head of state, what he needs to think about is how to expand the living space of the Wei Empire in the future, how to develop Jiangnan, how to destroy the Gongsun family in Liaodong, how to re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, and how to conquer the grasslands in the north to completely eliminate the threat of Xianbei. Lose.

How to suppress and consume the power of tyrants and gentry during this period, how to strengthen centralization, how to increase productivity, how to liberalize the education system and establish the imperial examination system.

The most important of these is the development of Jiangnan.

To develop the south of the Yangtze River, we need to calm down the south of the Yangtze River first, wipe out the powerful households in the south of the Yangtze River, and then implement the transition from the garrison system to the land distribution system in the south of the Yangtze River. The land is developed.

In the future, the land in Lingnan will be developed, and the land that can be harvested three times a year will be developed to continue to increase productivity and increase the output of food crops to enhance national strength.

This is a century-old project, a century-old national policy, and it cannot be accomplished by his generation, nor even by Guo Jin. It requires the continuous development of several generations.

In the past, Guo Peng always thought that the land of Huaxia could not support so many people, and the population would break up after reaching a certain peak. Now it seems that there is indeed some truth.

However, even if there were no potatoes and corn, the population that the land of Huaxia could support would definitely not only be 5000 million.

In the process of constantly conquering the world and in the process of governing the grassroots, Guo Peng discovered something.

The class of tyrannical landlords who occupy the most land will not reclaim wasteland.

They will only occupy the existing fertile land. As for the wasteland, they don't care. As long as they can get by, they don't care about Li Shu's life and death. They only care about whether their land is fertile.

Reclamation of wasteland requires investment, the input of people and materials, and it takes several years to get benefits. Such a process is unacceptable to the people of the powerful landlord class.

What they can accept is to take the ready-made land reclaimed by Li Shu as their own.

These are a group of bastards who don't care about production and only want to enjoy themselves. They go to enjoy the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and the exhausting reclamation can only be done by Li Shu, but when Li Shu is about to see the dawn, they come and take the reclaimed land. Robbed.

Li Shu were forced to leave their land, and there was only one way left for them, which was to reclaim other wasteland.

But reclamation of wasteland itself requires food input and organization. Ancient dynasties rarely had strong grassroots organizational power. The imperial power did not go to the countryside. Who would be willing to use their own money to do this kind of thing?

Li Shu who lost their land did not have more food to support the wasteland to harvest. In the process, they either starved to death or rose up.

When a large amount of wasteland can't wait for reclamation, the dynasty will perish, people will almost die, and a new cycle of reincarnation will begin.

Therefore, the development from the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin and then to the Pearl River Basin has run through 2000 years of feudal imperial history. From Qin to Qing, the most fertile land with the best harvest and three crops a year, no one develops, no one cares .

Without organizational power, imperial power does not go to the countryside, and private individuals will not be willing to pay such costs for construction. Those who are willing to do it can do it. In these 2000 years, there is only the country and only the king.

But there are too few qualified kings, and the most accomplished one is Qin Shihuang at the beginning, who launched a 50 Qin army to march south and millions of immigrants to open up Jiangnan and even Lingnan. Unfortunately, Shihuang's lifespan is limited after all. Death.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, until the so-called southward crossing, in 400 years, no powerful emperor could build like Qin Shihuang and expand the living space of the whole nation in a real sense.

Open up, reclaim wasteland, build, develop settlements, set up counties, station officials and troops, and collect taxes.

It is enough for the army to occupy, and when the force weakens, it is over.

If the regime in the Central Plains hadn't been forced to travel south several times, and was forced to develop Jiangnan and Lingnan in order to survive, I am afraid that this large-scale development may not be completed in 2000.

The living space needs to be developed, and what is on the map is our own. If it is not developed or cultivated, it is a wasteland.

The great development of the south of the Yangtze River is imperative, and this will surely become Guo Wei's first national policy.

It doesn’t need to persist for too long, Guo himself doesn’t know how long this national policy can persist after his death, and when this national policy will be artificially abandoned, but the longer he persists, the longer the peace will be, and Guo Wei’s lifespan will be longer. longer.

Maybe after his death, many of the benefits of the big development will be seized by the people.

But in the end, this will truly benefit a large number of Li Shu, bring progress, and open up a large amount of living space, which is undoubtedly correct.

As long as it is useful, we must do it, and if there is a problem, we will solve it, and we cannot stop doing it just because there is a problem.

If I can do it, I will do it until I die, and as long as I am alive, I will continue to do it.

The great development of the south of the Yangtze River was his first national policy after assuming the throne.

The second national policy is to re-operate the Western Regions.

The operation of the Western Regions is related to the smooth flow of the very important Silk Road, which is of great significance to the economic policy of the Central Plains Empire to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

There were also many famous people who managed the Western Regions during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most famous of which was the Ban family. The two fathers and sons, Ban Chao and Ban Yong, defended the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Western Regions like a relay in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they tried their best, they still could not help the Eastern Han Dynasty. The country's power is in decline.

It was easy for Liu Xiu to be the emperor, not difficult at all, even Wang Mang's army had a meteorite from the sky to help him kill him, but there was a price to be paid for being the emperor so quickly and quickly dominating the world.

Qin Shihuang started a big government because he was the survivor of the sixth life, and Han Wudi built a big government because he was endorsed by the rule of Wenjing.

Without a strong government, how can such a large territory be managed properly?

After all, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not restore the degree of control over the Western Regions that the Western Han Dynasty had over the Western Regions. Even the Protectorate of the Western Regions could not be rebuilt. It could only be replaced by a Changshifu of the Western Regions. Officials, what is revealed behind the scenes is that the Eastern Han Empire was exhausted from the Western Regions.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han Empire could barely maintain its influence in the Western Regions. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, let alone, it was difficult to protect itself. Afterwards, under the conspiracy of someone Guo, the Han government was wiped out, and the countries of the Western Regions had long been destroyed. I don't know what the Han envoy looks like.

Someone Guo felt that as the leader of the Guo Wei regime, it was necessary to let them know what it meant since ancient times, and it was necessary for them to accept the rule of the Central Plains Empire again, so as to embark on the correct path of prosperity and development. This is very necessary.

But if you meet someone who is short-sighted, does not know that the Chinese emperor is back, and tries to resist the trend of history, then it is even more necessary for Guo to teach them a history lesson.

There are many more, imperial examinations, schools, education, selection of officials...

There are so many things going on, Guo Peng always feels that he has a lot of things to do, but when he thinks about it carefully, Guo Peng finds that his life span may not be enough to support him to see that day come.

He may only exist as a great founder, and he must entrust his career to future generations.

A little reconciled, really, not reconciled.

For a moment, Guo Peng suddenly understood why those emperors who made a difference in ancient times wanted to pursue immortality.

Power is indeed intoxicating, but the desire to witness one's achievements blossom and bear fruit is the source of the pursuit of immortality.

Chapter 714 The Three Immortals Wu Guo vows not to give up

Want to live on.

Want to keep building.

I want to see with my own eyes the things I do get the results I want.

I want to see everything with my own eyes, and I can't bear to leave.

However, human life is limited after all.

All those who pursue immortality will soon forget what their original intention of pursuing immortality is, and become only concerned about immortality itself, and live forever for the sake of immortality.

The moment of fear of death, the person changes, completely without the appearance of the past, in order to live forever and live forever, and do anything for it, destroying everything created by oneself...

Guo Peng couldn't bear to become such a lunatic.

I will never allow myself to become such a lunatic.

Therefore, he can only continue to design and improve his own governance program, formulate an effective charter, and entrust his hopes to future generations.

In his life, as long as he can achieve the goal of pioneering, that's enough. For the rest, he dare not expect extravagantly, nor dare to pursue rashly.

The great cause of a hundred years cannot be achieved by myself in the past 50 to [-] years. Guo Peng does not want to be Yang Guang, and he does not want to be dragged because of his strides.

If the current good situation can be maintained and continued after the founding of the country, it will be an almost perfect start.

In the current Kingdom of Wei, the voices of heresy have been wiped out, and only supporters are left. It is a very united, upward, and eager to create a progressive group in the future.

Faced with the remaining obstacles, this group already has a strong desire to destroy.

After Guo Peng became king, everyone knew what he was going to do next, and everyone was looking forward to that day. For that day, they were willing to give all they could.

Then become the founding hero.

So when Guo Peng asked the little emperor Liu Jian for the order to go to the Sun Wu regime, the huge and fierce war machine of the Kingdom of Wei began to run sharply decisively.

Once it is in operation, the Immortal Wu Kingdom will not give up!

Guo Peng's reason for conquering the Sun Wu regime is very simple.

That is, before Sun Wu attacked Guo Peng by himself, and now Guo Peng wants to take revenge, he still takes the little emperor's edict to take revenge. Isn't this a very simple matter?

The credit has come, and the opportunity to further climb to the top has come!

coming!

The Kingdom of Wei is united and has made the will to destroy the Sun Wu regime, which is indestructible and unstoppable.

Against this background, the Qingzhou navy was dispatched and received Guo Peng's order.

In this emotional battle, the navy is the main force, but the Southeast Corps has to cover for Tai Shici at the beginning. Chen Bing confronts the main force of Sun Wu's army by the river and attracts the main force of Sun Wu's army.

Then Tai Shici led the navy officers and soldiers and some Southeast elites to attack Jiangdong directly from the sea, and rushed to Jingkou through landing operations, copied the Wu army's back route, and stabbed him in the back.

"I didn't expect the navy to have such a magical effect. It is unheard of to carry a large army directly from the seashore and directly send troops to conquer."

Zhang Liao was amazed when he saw Guo Peng's order and Tai Shici's battle plan.

"This is not my first creation. During the reign of Emperor Wu, Yang Pu, the general of Louchuan, led his army to directly attack Wei's North Korea. He also used the same tactic to bypass Liaodong and attack directly from the sea, which achieved unexpected results. There is a precedent, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei made such a decision."

Tai Shici smiled and said: "Sun Wu's navy is sharp and has a lot of ships, and the southerners are good at maneuvering boats. Our army has only one regular navy, and it has only been established for two years. It is unwise to use our shortcomings to attack others' strengths. Do you still have to bite the bullet and do it?"

"That's natural."

Zhang Liao smiled: "However, General Taishi was entrusted with such an important mission when he fought against the enemy for the first time. It can be seen that Your Majesty attaches great importance to General Taishi. The navy will be of great use in the future."

Tai Shici nodded.

"In the future when we attack the Gongsun family in Liaodong, the navy may be useful. How the king will use the navy in the future is not something people like me can speculate. The king has his own gully in his chest, and we just need to obey orders. That's fine, nothing else matters."

"Yes, the rest is not important."

Zhang Liao felt that the conversation with Tai Shici was very speculative. Although he was a subordinate, he always felt that it was a very pleasant thing to communicate with a person like Tai Shici who had a mentality of 13.

"Our army's preparations have already begun, but what is the situation in Jiangdong? Can the general inform his subordinates?"

Tai Shici asked about the situation in Jiangdong.

"The situation in Jiangdong is not very clear. Since Sun Bofu died, Jiangdong has been presided over by Zhou Gongjin. Sun Quanzhongmou, Sun Bofu's younger brother, is only 17 years old and still a boy. So Zhou Gongjin is in charge of everything in Jiangdong. Great talent, not only good at government affairs, but also good at military affairs.”

Zhang Liao pointed to the location of Kuaiji County on the Jiangdong map: "The information we got before is that Zhou Gongjin is presiding over the battle in Kuaiji County, and the rebels in Kuaiji County are fighting fiercely with the Wu army. The specific result is not very clear yet."

Tai Shici frowned.

"This is a bit strange, does the king know about this?"

"Naturally know."

Zhang Liao nodded.

"Then why didn't Your Majesty order me to attack at this time, while the main force of the Wu army is in Kuaiji County, let me wait to rush to Wu County, wouldn't it be possible to defeat Wu State in one go?"

Tai Shici was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty must have your own considerations. Your Majesty just ordered us to prepare and organize the army. We haven't delivered the military order to attack. We don't have to worry too much. Your Majesty naturally has His Majesty's considerations."

Zhang Liao said so.
