Chapter 301 The princes came to Beijing and the world was in chaos
Wait for Yuan Shao to prevent piracy and change it back in half an hour!
They collected information from major county governors and found that most of them did not agree with the establishment of another emperor!
So Yuan Shao could only write to Yuan Shu again: "Now there is a young emperor in the west in name, but he has no royal blood. The ministers and other court officials are all flattering Dong Zhuo, how can we trust them again! As long as we send troops to guard the pass fortress,
It will trap them all to death. If we support a sage emperor in the east, we can expect to live a peaceful life, so why are we so hesitant?"
Yuan Shao's intention was to give Yuan Shu a head start and build momentum to support Liu Yu!
But Yuan Shu wrote back and said: "The emperor is wise in his duties and has the qualifications of Zhou Cheng Wang Ji Song. The traitor Dong Zhuo took advantage of the country's crisis and used violence to subdue the ministers. This was a small misfortune for the Han Dynasty. Do you mean that the emperor
'No royal blood', isn't this a slander! I am sincere and determined to eliminate Dong Zhuo, and I don't know anything else!"
After reading Yuan Shu's reply, Yuan Shao was so angry that he tore up the letter. Yuan Shao didn't believe a word written on it! Yuan Shu has always been lawless and even dared to burn down the palace. Now he pretends to be a loyal minister. How can Yuan Shao believe it?
, he thought that Yuan Shu must have some plan, so he was unwilling to support Liu Yu!
But Yuan Shao did not give up yet. He sent Zhang Qi, the former governor of Lelang County, and others to Youzhou with their proposal and presented Liu Yu with the title of emperor. He wanted to see what Liu Yu meant if Liu Yu wanted to be the emperor.
, he could also use the throne to hang up Liu Yu, which would give the Kwantung Allied Forces 110,000 more elite troops.
But when Liu Yu saw Zhang Qi and others and knew what they meant, he sternly scolded them: "Now the country is divided and the emperor is in trouble outside. I have received great favor from the country and failed to avenge the country's shame. You each defended the prefectures and counties, and you should have
You serve the royal family wholeheartedly, but instead you plan this kind of conspiracy to taint me!"
Liu Yu firmly refused.
Yuan Shao and others also asked Liu Yu to preside over the affairs of the Shangshu and appoint officials on behalf of the emperor. It didn't matter whether Liu Yu became emperor or not, but the important thing was that the 80,000 troops in Liu Yu's hands could join the Kanto Alliance.
But even so, Liu Yu still refused to accept it, and even planned to flee into the territory of the Xianbei people to isolate himself. Only then did Yuan Shao and others give up.
Through this incident, Liu Yu could see that Yuan Shao and the others wanted to split the Han Dynasty for their own selfish desires. Their Guandong Alliance was not established to crusade Dong Zhuo, but to fight for power and gain for themselves. Liu Yu
His senses towards them are even worse. He won't help Dong Zhuo, but he doesn't want to help Yuan Shao either!
Moreover, Liu Yu was also very busy at this time. Because of the war against Dong, the entire Central Plains was full of refugees. After crossing the Yellow River, they came to Jizhou.
But the people in Jizhou were already afraid of being killed by the Yellow Turban Army. They were afraid that these refugees would rekindle the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, so they did not dare to let these refugees stay in Jizhou. So they thought of an old method, which was to keep bringing the refugees there.
Youzhou and Bingzhou rushed away, but they were not worried in Bingzhou because Lei Gong would accept the refugees as long as he saw them.
But Youzhou is a bit difficult to deal with. After all, Liu Yu from Youzhou has a very high reputation in the Han Dynasty. Their beggar-thy-neighbor behavior is too offending.
In order to make Liu Yu a refugee, officials from all over Jizhou raised 200 million yuan and gave it to Liu Yu.
The envoy also said that the world admires Liu Zhoumu's ability to cultivate land. We have no wasteland in Jizhou, but there are many wastelands in Youzhou. Liu Zhoumu is also asked to lead these millions of refugees to cultivate land! Save all the people in the world. In short, high hats are constantly pointing at Liu Yu's head.
Dai, making him embarrassed to say rejection.
But Liu Yu really didn’t refuse. Liu Yu, a good-natured person, knew that refusing to take in these refugees would mean letting them die. This was not what he wanted to see!
And Youzhou had a bumper grain harvest just because of the use of struvite. The government in Youzhou had a lot of grain in stock, and the price of grain was even as low as 30 yuan, which was enough to feed these refugees.
Moreover, Liu Yu also knew that if the food could not support the refugees, they would go to the territory of the Tengjia Army.
He knew that a large number of noble families in Youzhou sold grain to Bingzhou through the grassland, because Lei Gong of Bingzhou purchased grain for 500 yuan per stone. As long as the grain went to the grassland, the profit would be more than ten times that of the grassland, and Bingzhou also helped with transportation, so there was no need for trouble at all.
Now the grasslands in the north of Dai County and Shanggu County are the territory of the Tengjia Army. Mijia, the leader of the Xianbei people in the east, told Liu Yu about this.
When Liu Yu heard this, he realized that the powerful nobles in Youzhou were not selling food to the barbarians on the grassland at all, but the Thunder Lords of the Tengjia Army!
So when Liu Yu thought about it, instead of letting Lei Gong get these grains, it would be better to use them to resettle the refugees of the Han Dynasty, which would give the Han Dynasty a few more loyal subjects. But if the grains got into the hands of Lei Gong, they would be used to resettle the refugees and the Han Dynasty would have dozens more people.
Wan was rebellious! In order to compete with Lei Gong for the hearts of the people, he settled these refugees in Youzhou.
Officials from all over Jizhou were overjoyed to learn that Liu Yu had taken in the refugees. They spontaneously learned Liu Bei's method and set up disaster relief points every 10 miles. These disaster relief points were connected all the way to Youzhou. In less than half a year, hundreds of thousands of refugees came.
There are no refugees in Youzhou or Jizhou.
These victims directly emptied Youzhou's treasury, so that Liu Yu could only wear shabby clothes, wear straw sandals, and only eat one meat dish when eating. But because of Liu Yu's actions, the people in Youzhou felt the
Officials and the whole Youzhou worked together to resettle these refugees.
Liu Yu was generous in his administration. He persuaded and supervised the people to engage in agriculture and sericulture, opened the Hu market in Shanggu County to make profits from trading with the Hu people, and developed the salt and iron production in Yuyang County to make the people happy. These refugees soon settled in You.
The state settled down.
Huangfu Song in Jizhou watched Yuan Shao's actions with cold eyes. He did not care about the refugees in the Central Plains, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, nor Dong Zhuo's orders, nor Yuan Shao's small actions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He was focused on dealing with Thunder God. He built beacon towers, forts, and military stations everywhere, turning the entire Taihang Mountains into a road that can be advanced.
Attacking and repelling a solid defense line that can be defended, while constantly training soldiers and accumulating money and food, he had a standing army of 100,000 and trained 100,000 militiamen. It can be said that Huangfu Song had the most elite, most powerful, and largest number of all the Han people in his hands.
Army. Either side he stands on is enough to determine the victory of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, but he doesn't help them!
Lu Zhi asked doubtfully: "Yizhen, the army in your hands is enough to change the war in the Central Plains. Now that the war between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao has caused chaos in the world, are you just watching one by one like this?"
Huangfusong smiled helplessly and said: "Ziqian, the victory or defeat of this war depends on Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo's own strength. If I join any of them, the Thunder Lord of Bingzhou will join this war to maintain the balance of the war.
, He just wants me, the Han Dynasty, to cause chaos in the world so that he can take advantage of the chaos and win!"
"The best way to deal with Lei Gong is for me to stay in Jizhou and accumulate strength, so that Lei Gong will not dare to act rashly. Only when there is a winner between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo can the strength of the Han Dynasty be unified, and we can destroy Lei Gong."
Then Huangfu Song solemnly said: "If we fail, I'm afraid there will be no place for nobles like us in the world."
Huangfu Song was considered one of the most far-sighted people in the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, when he put down the Yellow Turban Uprising, he immediately wrote to Emperor Ling to lift the party imprisonment, because he knew that if people from Shilin joined the Yellow Turban Army, the Han Dynasty might be able to
Subverted by Zhang Jiao!
Similarly, he observed the intelligence of the Dao Tengjia Army in Jizhou and found that the Tengjia Army was a completely new regime. It could even be said to be a brand new country. There was no place for their noble families in this country. Lei Gong wanted to forcefully remove these noble families.
The nobles swept out the Han Dynasty and replaced them with a group of noble nobles who were loyal to him. This was no longer the case that the Han Dynasty was about to perish, but that the whole world was about to be destroyed by Thunder God. This was something Huangfu Song could not tolerate.
Therefore, Huangfu Song could tolerate Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, because no matter what they did, they would only be the powerful officials of the Han Dynasty, and would not destroy the Han Dynasty, nor the noble families in the world.
And his idea was to wait for the winner among Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and then he would join them, so that the entire Han Dynasty could use all their strength to deal with Lei Gong.
Lu Zhi also sighed: "How could there be such a rebellious Lei Gong in the world? He should not have sided with the rebellious people!"
In Lu Zhi's view, Lei Gong was a genius regardless of his literary skills, martial arts, skills, or even business. There are not many such all-rounders in history. Every time one appears, he will make some great achievements that change the world. And in this way
The background of all-rounders must be high. They will want to make contributions, but they will not rebel on the side of the people!
Huangfu Song also wondered: "There is no such person among the noble families of the Han Dynasty. Where did he come from?"
Lu Zhi said: "He should have been trained by a secret sect. Xuande said that the place where Lei Gong first appeared was in the mountains of Zhongshan Kingdom. He originally wanted to go to Jingzhou to escape the war!"
Huangfu Song also knew what happened next. Zhao Yi took a fancy to Lei Gong's treasure car, so Lei Gong was angry and used hundreds of stones of grain to recruit tens of thousands of refugees to attack Zhao Yi's manor. From then on, Lei Gong embarked on the road of rebellion, and
The big man also has a powerful enemy that is difficult to deal with!
Early April of the first year of Chuping (190)!
Seeing that there were no reinforcements and that the support of Liu Yu was not popular, Yuan Shao thought for a while and decided to send Xin Pi to Bingzhou to find Lei Gong and try to get some iron armor to replace his army's equipment to increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
Yuan Shao and the others are the top nobles of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that the most indispensable thing is money and food. They had not reached that level before. They thought they could defeat Dong Zhuo by drinking wine and reciting poems, but now they have to use their family wealth to fight for it.
.
So Yuan Shao, through his relatives and friends, continued to borrow private soldiers from the noble families in the Central Plains to increase the number of his army. At the same time, he sent Xinbi north to Shangdang County to buy iron armor from Lei Gong!
When Xinbi came to Shangdang County, he found that there were crowds of people everywhere in Shangdang County, and he even felt like he was sweating profusely. If he hadn't known that this was Shangdang County, he would have thought he had arrived in Luoyang City.
Under the command of the Tengjia Army, countless victims dug roads, built canals, and reclaimed wasteland. Surprisingly, no one was idle, and there was not a single idle refugee in sight.
Seeing this bustling construction scene, Xinpi sighed: "How many refugees has Lei Gong resettled in Shangdang County? There are tens of thousands of people just looking at it from here, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Shangdang County. He
Aren’t you afraid that so many refugees will gather together to rebel?”
This is also something that Xinpi and others find strange. The refugees will rebel within the Han Dynasty, but the Tengjia Army has taken in millions of refugees, and nothing happened. This simply shakes their minds, and they can only say that it is unscientific.
Got it!
As their group went deeper and deeper into Shangdang County, Xinpi discovered that Shangdang County had changed more and more. There were farmlands everywhere, and towering Tengjia Army-style elevated water canals, waterwheels, and windmills everywhere.
They are more like giants, spread all over the territory of Shangdang County, with the characteristic rail carriages of the Tengjia Army, and the constant traffic of caravans. It can be said that the current Bingzhou has a bit of a paradise scene, completely different from the war-torn inland of the Han Dynasty.
There are two looks.
He was surprised: "I'm not surprised that Lei Gong is capable, but where did he get so much financial resources to build so many facilities? You know he resettled more than 5 million disaster victims a year ago?"
Xinpi finally figured out that Lei Gong relied on these huge infrastructures to feed the refugees. The court could actually do this kind of thing, but the most important thing was that the court had no money or food.
In recent years, the imperial court could not even maintain the food and wages of the army, and the Yellow River embankment had not been repaired for decades. Even if the embankments continued to collapse, all the imperial court could do was to drive the refugees to Lei Gong's territory.
We can’t spend money to build the Yellow River embankment!
Building so much infrastructure requires a huge amount of money. Lei Gong cannot let the victims do things with their bare hands. Logistics preparations and various tools cost a lot of money. Where does Lei Gong get the money and food?
You must know that the Great Qin Dynasty was destroyed because it built too many projects and forced the people of the world to rebel. Shouldn't the more such projects be done, the easier it would be to force the people to rebel. Why did it become so bad when it came to Lei Gong?
On the contrary, Xinpi couldn't figure it out.
The last thing he expected was that even the powerful Han people could not resettle 5 million refugees. How Lei Gong could do this with only one Ma Yi was something that everyone in the world found strange.
"As long as I have such financial resources, I can do such a thing. Lei Gong only embezzled the property of Bingzhou nobles to do this. What kind of skill is this! This is the devil's evil way. Sooner or later, Bingzhou will fall under his greed.
It collapsed." Juhao said angrily.
He was from Jizhou, and his dealings with Lei Gong did not happen every year or two, especially since Lei Gong massacred noble families in Wei County, and not only one or two of his relatives died at the hands of Lei Gong.
