Chapter 829 Demolition
Three days later, Wang Jun returned to Yecheng.
"I'm guilty!" As soon as they met, he knelt on one knee in front of Yang Zheng.
"If you are a public servant who eliminates harm for the country, why should you bear the infamy?" Wang Jun is a bit older than Yang Zheng, so his title should be more respectful, which can also reflect his sincerity.
In fact, Wang Jun had no complaints and had already gained Yang Zheng's trust when he returned to Yecheng alone.
It is a very dangerous move to arbitrarily recruit the governor of a town to join the court.
The Sima family once recruited Wang Ling, Xia Houxuan, and Zhuge Dan. Except for Xia Houxuan, everyone else rebelled.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Jun raised his head moved.
Yang Zheng helped him up. As an emperor, he could protect his subordinates just like his elder brother.
He worked so hard and did all the dirty work, so he couldn't turn his back on him, right? Who would be willing to work hard for the Yang family and Great Qin in the future?
"Although the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the people were poor, the soldiers were tired, and the national power was weak. The Eastern Wu occupies the side, the foreign tribes from all directions are watching from the outside, and the powerful nobles hide evil intentions inside. When you are a famous minister and serve your life sincerely, you must not stay out of it!" Yang Zheng I know people like Wang Jun very well.
With just one bite of hot food, these people happily joined the death camp.
When communicating with people, you need to take appropriate measures.
Yang Zheng once again issued an edict to the nobles in the Central Plains, with extremely harsh words: "The purpose of erecting Wubao is to prevent thieves. Today, the Qin army is strong and the horses are strong. The barbarians are dormant in all directions, and the Wu people dare not look north. What is your intention in erecting Wubao? And Don't make a mistake, otherwise it will be too late..."
Before the autumn harvest, all forts in Ji, Qing, Xu, and Yan must be demolished.
"Destroy Wu?"
Of course, there are always people who take chances.
We just captured the Central Plains and haven’t digested it yet...
The named noble clans finally couldn't bear it any longer. After weighing the pros and cons, they had to dismantle the fort.
Governments in various places took in the people and organized them into households, giving men twenty acres of fertile land and women ten acres.
Sure enough, Wang Jun's face was filled with gratitude, as if he had found a close friend, "I will never give up even if I die!"
Two or three years later, the power of the Central Plains was restored, Jiangdong was exhausted, and millions of Qin troops marched south. How could Soochow resist?
Wang Jun is indeed a talented general.
The annihilation of the three Wang clans has begun, and the demolition of Wubao is the foundation of this game.
Every one they caught was killed, and heads were rolling in their heads. The powerful men finally knew they were afraid.
After the edict was issued, there was an uproar in the local area, but no one dared to act rashly.
If they follow, it will be a confrontation of national power. Using Soochow's strength to compete with the current Da Qin's national power is tantamount to courting death.
I think I am remote and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so I don’t shed tears when I don’t see the coffin.
"I'll wait and see." Yang Zheng drew the cakes one by one, which immediately brought the relationship between the two parties closer.
Yang Zheng took advantage of the power of the Jin Dynasty and the ruthlessness of the Yi tribes. He drew his sword in Yecheng and looked around. The 40,000 cavalry under his command were watching eagerly.
There is hope and vitality only if there are people.
The heads of thieves were inserted on both sides of the official road and the corpses were piled into mounds. The cruelty of the method was even worse than that of Liu Heng. Children in the Central Plains did not dare to cry at night when they heard Gou Xi's name.
Under the thunderous tactics, the forts in the Central Plains were demolished one after another, and the imprisoned slaves were also proactively released.
For people like Gou Xi who are eager to make meritorious deeds, there is no point in escaping to the ends of the earth.
This strategy does not break your face.
"I accept my order."
We cannot leave Soochow idle and give Zhong Hui a chance to recuperate.
After Wubao was demolished, Yang Zheng issued two more edicts, encouraging land reclamation and exempting taxes for two years.
How to do it is a matter for the Ministry of War. Delegate power when it is time to delegate it. As an emperor, you only need to focus on the results. There is no need to micromanage everything.
However, Yang Zheng did not rush to kill them all, but only took back the things that originally belonged to the government from their hands.
Either take the initiative to dismantle the Wubao, or flee into the mountains and become bandits.
Da Qin is increasing its stakes on the border, will Jiangdong follow?
If they don't follow, they will infiltrate and squeeze in the past, eroding Wu's strategic space.
In several counties in the northwest of Jizhou and close to Bingzhou, many Jie people were among the freed slaves.
Yang Zheng understood. In the words of later generations of Americans, this is called strategic rebalancing...
If the method is too motivating, it will be easy to jump over the wall in a hurry.
The iron cavalry passed by, destroying everything.
A few days later, hundreds of edicts came out of Yecheng and flew into every county and county in Hebei and Shandong.
As soon as the deadline came, Yang Zheng immediately ordered Liu Heng and Gou Xi to patrol Hebei with their infantry and cavalry. Those who disobeyed the edict would have their whole families killed, and the three tribes would be demoted to slaves and sent to Juyan, Xihai and other counties.
The reason why the powerful nobles could not lose their power was because there were too many people who relied on them, and they gradually became local snakes.
What surprised Yang Zheng was that half of the slaves were not Han people, but Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xingwei and other ethnic groups.
Lu Kang has repeatedly attacked Xiangyang in the past few years, but all failed, proving that Yang Hu is not bad at all.
The people who got the land were overjoyed.
Yang Zheng was more focused on suppressing the powerful nobles.
At first there was just silence.
The cavalry dismounted and pursued them into the mountains, but were still cut down to their roots.
Several small and medium-sized tycoons from Shandong have united, but are these rabble-rousers actually the elite opponents of the Qin Dynasty?
"The rule of law can be made into a charter and submitted to the Ministry of War, which will discuss it in detail." The specific details still need to be perfected.
Many people who were attached to the powerful nobles took the initiative to break away from this personal dependence, turned to the government, and established households for the common people.
Everyone ran away, and the powerful power of the noble clan was weakened.
This is genuine fertile land, not the land occupation system of the Sima family that deceives people.
But as the deadline got closer and closer, some small powerful people finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to dismantle the Wubao.
However, Wang Jun was not the first to advocate the destruction of Wu. A few months ago, Yang Hu had adopted three strategies to defeat Wu.
"However, Jiangling Lu Kangda has the style of his father Lu Xun. He uses troops like a god, and Yang Hu is no match for him."
The top priority is to completely digest the Central Plains.
"Good." Yang Zheng nodded happily.
Seeing that Yang Zheng was still hesitating, Wang Jun continued to persuade: "This battle is not a battle to destroy the country, but a battle to squeeze and provoke. Do not destroy the alliance between the two countries and make Soochow exhausted. Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou can advance in three directions.
There are people from Wu who are stationed between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River."
Wang Jun took all the big cakes, "There is nothing to fear from foreigners and powerful rightists. At this time, because Dongwu is destroyed first, there will be no trouble in the south, and then troops are sent to the north."
Wang Jun cupped his hands and said: "Jiangdong has been suffering from internal strife for many years, and its strength has long been reduced. Today, Zhonghui is fighting for power with the Lu family. It is God's damnation. Why don't your majesty take advantage of this opportunity to win, and order Yong'an and Xiangyang to press forward and test Dongdong?"
Wu situation."
This is similar to Yang Hu's three strategies to defeat Wu. As long as Soochow is defeated once, Jiangdong will be over.
The population was released, and Hebei suddenly became full of vitality.
If you don't love money and don't care about sex, you will only want to achieve fame and fame in your life.
The two men faithfully carried out Yang Zheng's orders and were extremely ruthless, not letting a single fish slip through the net.
"Although Lu Kang is a famous general, he only needs one defeat and Jingzhou will fall apart. Secondly, Shuzhong has been stable for many years and its strength has been restored. Luo Xian's 60,000 troops have been trained for many years, with sufficient food and grass and sufficient warships. Lu Kang has nothing to fear."
The Central Plains, which was originally at war with each other, suddenly turned into a joyful winter.
The powerful nobles were also exempted from the tax.
Give him a slap and a date.
Boil the frog in warm water, don't be offended, let's do it step by step...
