Chapter 15: Determination (Part 1)
Chapter 115: Plan (Part 1)
"Lord, the key is the male. You ordered all the males in a clan to be killed or demoted to the gold mine. This is really a brilliant way and a stroke of magic."
"These Eight Banners in the Mountains, dyed the blood of countless mountain tribes, can no longer be able to gain a foothold on the spot. As long as they cannot annex the men of the same tribe to expand their troops and reward some women and wealth, what's the point?"
"The more these Eight Banners continue, the more males die. When they have no strength, the lord can copy the clan at any time. However, I feel that I will still move these meritorious officials to Dongyizhou, give them the Han surname and reward land and houses, so that I can avoid the coldness of the new Eight Banners in the mountains."
"Although some men died in these old Eight Banners, they have beautiful women in their families. Isn't it that the hard days on the mountain were in the sky and the earth? Once the new Eight Banners erected their flags, they can take them to visit and strengthen their minds."
The Eight Banners system was even more fun when it came to Zhang Youzhi's hands. These Eight Banners were only eight combat tribes.
Or a return group composed of mountain traitors.
These eight tribes cooperated with the Shu army to encircle and suppress all the males, and took half of the women and wealth. When the males were almost lost, they would give the land, houses, wealth, and settle in Chengdu and other places.
The 36 tribes of the mountain tribes, with traitors leading the way, even if some of them can escape deep into the mountains, it will not be a weather. Wang Hongyi was overjoyed and said, "Good!"
However, it was Zhang Youzhi designed the specific strategy based on Wang Hongyi's strategic ideas.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "The most important thing in this strategy is to find the first tribe to surrender, reward it heavily, and set an example of traitors in the mountains... This matter needs to be contacted and connected now."
Zhang Youzhi said again: "Yes, in fact, there are only 300,000 mountain tribes. As long as they have internal support, they will be solved quickly. Besides, as long as the counties are repaired, can the mountain tribes still attack the city? Send civil servants to repair the city, appease the people, and send elite troops to set up forts to cut off trade and transportation. In just a few years, half of the mountain can be forced to death."
This is still a tactic of protecting the borders, dividing troops and sieging dangerous places, and dividing and surrounding the mountains. Wang Hongyi smiled: "Your constitutions are good, just like what I mean. As long as you kill all the strongholds of these mountain tribes in the plains, the mountains will not be affected. It has been proved throughout the ages that people cannot survive in the mountains, and they can survive in the mountains, but they cannot support the people. Even if there are people, the conditions in the mountains can only support hundreds of people, and stay for hundreds or thousands of years. This is still the number."
It was once studied on the earth that a mountain village has the highest population of 500, and it cannot be maintained if it is too much. Moreover, there are not many lands suitable for establishing villages in the mountains.
Those who can reproduce hundreds of thousands or millions are not people from the mountains, but go down the mountain to occupy the plains.
In history, the Shanyue people in the Eastern Wu period occupied a large number of plains to reproduce, so as long as they kill all the people on the plains and force them back to the mountains, they don’t have to encircle and suppress them, and they will automatically die within ten years!
Wang Hongyi stopped thinking about this question, paused and said, "In Jingzhou, I want to recruit some thieves and send Zhang Fan to respond directly. What do you think?"
This is actually training and plundering, and trying to slow down the unification of Jingzhou.
Neither of them was disagreeable and said, "Lord is very kind!"
After talking about this topic, Wang Hongyi asked again: "Seeing how you two came in just now, what's the urgent matter?"
Yu Liangbo hesitated and said, "I and Lord Zhang hurriedly asked to see your lord. There is something to report to you. Although this matter is not a big threat to Yizhou, if it is handled improperly, it will be given a person and a handle."
As he said that, he handed a long brocade box to Wang Hongyi.
"What is this? Could it be that the imperial edict issued by the court?" Wang Hongyi asked with a slightly strange expression.
Yu Liangbo said with a wry smile: "The lord guessed it well, it was the will of the court."
"Lord, count it, this is the third decree given to you by the court. But this time I recognized your lord of Yizhou. The court has realized that chaos in the world is inevitable, and you have pacified Dongyizhou, so you just follow the flow... It's just the decree, and I also enthroned you as Taibao, and I still want you to go to Jinling to participate in the government affairs." Zhang Youzhi said dignifiedly.
"This decree still has a glimmer of hope. I hope you can still go to Jinling like General Zhang decades ago!" Yu Liangbo said.
Wang Hongyi carried out his decree and saw that the volume of imperial edict was three feet long and one foot wide. It was made of golden silk silk. In the hands on both sides were two symmetrical flying dragons, with four words "Suitable for the Imperial" in the middle.
The imperial edict has its own sacred and inviolable majesty, but this is determined by the fate of the country. In Wang Hongyi's eyes, there is a golden cloud in the imperial edict, which is filled with slight rays.
I expanded it and didn't look carefully at the words inside, only the signature and seal below.
This time, it is not the private seal of the "Treasure of Imperial Order", but the "Chaoming Zheng Seal".
The "Chaoming Zheng Seal" was carved by Taizu after the founding of the Dynasty. It was "The seal of Dayan received the order and the capital of the country."
Two years ago, this amount of energy could affect Wang Hongyi, but now he doesn't care. He just glanced at it and threw it on the table and said sneeredly: "I would rather have to let the orphan go to Jinling? Not to mention the position of Taibao, even if I have a title of king, it would have no meaning."
At this time, Wang Hongyi had no awe of the court and said sneered: "Just ignore it, the court is no longer a problem."
He stood up and walked: "This is a farce. When the imperial court was in its prime, who dared not to obey, but now the powerful ministers who have been in decline for a long time and have been in control of great power, they still want to rely on an imperial edict to kill and kill, which can no longer be described as ridiculous."
"What the lord said is that when the imperial court reached this point, no one could do anything. Thinking of the three-foot sword that Emperor Taizu of Yan picked up the three-foot sword and swept the world and the heroes surrendered, it was a dream now." Yu Liangbo sighed again after saying that.
Wang Hongyi knew that they had deeper words, but it was hard to explain that this was not something that the ministers could say. He said with a smile: "The relocation of the capital of Yan was already in decline. Although famous officials and good generals emerged one after another, they had failed repeatedly. Even if they improved for a while, they were short-lived. This was actually a waste of time. Now, they were even more ill and had no cure."
Wang Hongyi said, both of them were thinking about it, but they didn't dare to speak more.
Seeing this, Wang Hongyi waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. How could I not understand after three hundred years of rise and fall? There is no taboo. Now, I have to build a stable country and a stable country. When I conquer the country, I will consider the fortune of this country...!"
Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi's eyes were shining with bright light, and even had a flush on his face. He stood up and wandered, saying, "This is a difficult thing for all dynasties to do in all dynasties, but for the sake of the orphans, it is easy."
Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi felt that he had said too much, and walked slowly, smiling: "If you talk about these things later, you will make a constitution first. Recently, many people have surrendered. This year, when our army is pacified, we can arrange to go to Xiyizhou. Those who dare to go to Xiyizhou and those who can do things will have a qualification. If you dare not go, you will naturally deal with it according to Zhongping."
Yu Liangbo lowered his head and thought for a while, saying, "The lord is right. If you want to promote quickly, you must naturally see wisdom and loyalty and courage. This Xiyizhou is a place to temper people!"
"I mean the same thing. You should worry more about the matter here." Wang Hongyi said, and the two of them stood up and bowed to respond to "Yes".
After Wang Hongyi said that, he waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, you can go down, and you will come in again tomorrow."
"Yes!" The two bowed to Wang Hongyi and bowed to the Secret Palace.
Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi immediately responded and acted as ordered.
It was late at this time. The two of them said something, said goodbye, walked out of the side hall together, and walked towards the gate along the dripping eaves. The two of them slowed down their pace at the same time and did not speak for a long time.
"According to your method, there will be no restraint in pacifying Xiyizhou, but this plan seems to be a little..." Yu Liangbo breathed and said.
"When I know, this strategy is a plan that is a desperate plan, and the lord will praise me. But I also know that the disaster is very shallow." Zhang Youzhi bit his lip and sighed: "My lord promoted me to the common people and entrusts us with military affairs. I can only devote myself to it, only taking the lord's great cause as the foundation. As for this, I can't take it seriously and plant a great disaster."
Yu Liangbo was silent for a long time and did not speak.
When I left the door, a gust of wind passed by, and the carriageman facing me came up.
By the way, the two withdrew. Wang Hongyi looked at the bell ringing. It was seven o'clock now, and he stretched out his body, moved his muscles and bones, and then came out of the door.
As soon as I came out, I rode the carriage and entered the inner palace.
As soon as I entered the inner palace, I could only hear a shout from behind.
"I've given up money and food!" An eunuch stood in front of the door and shouted loudly to the south.
"Lock!" With the sound of the guards, the doors slowly closed.
The eunuch turned his head and stood in the square, shouting north again: "Be careful of the lights!"
The eunuchs and palace maids from various jails of the royal palace responded one after another: "Be careful of the lights!"
At this time, the gates of each palace fell and locked one by one.
The royal palace naturally needs to be guarded by the imperial palace, and the opening and closing of the palace gates and the defense of the daily palace gates shall be controlled by eunuchs.
Generally speaking, every day when the sun sets, the doors of the palace must be closed and locked, which is called "paying money and grain", and opening the door with the key is called "calling money and grain".
Of course, this is still based on Wang Hongyi. Although it is already night now, Wang Hongyi has not come back, so it is naturally impossible to close the palace gate.
There is a strict system for entering and leaving the palace. Fortunately, the eunuchs from the original palace remembered clearly and copied them one by one.
Wang Hongyi took the carriage and advanced along the corridor. The inner palace now has several permanent rooms with large glass windows and cicada wing yarn. This is the product of Xiqin.
Wang Hongyi lives in the East Palace, Song Xinyou lives in the West Palace, Zhao Wan lives in the North Palace, and there is also a North Palace where the old lady lives.
Although it was too late, I still went to Beigong at this time. There were twenty palaces in this area. The old lady usually liked to be lively and raised parrots and cats and dogs here.
When we arrived in front of the hall, there were maids and eunuchs who had been waiting early. They saw Wang Hongyi coming in at first sight and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Get up!" Wang Hongyi nodded and asked a female official: "Have the old lady used food?"
"The old lady was still having a meal with the two ladies today. The food was very delicious. She said the food was good. Although Mrs. Zhao had some reaction, she still used some and was resting now!"
Wang Hongyi was overjoyed. With his mother in there, he didn't have to worry about many things, and then he smiled and said, "This is good!"
