Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, was ruthless and had no scruples based on the control of the Han Dynasty by the Qiang barbarians. He directly destroyed everything within 200 miles of Luoyang, severed the dragon lineage of the Han Dynasty, and everyone broke up.
Luoyang was shocked by the burning of the world. The Han Dynasty could not even save its own capital and the people directly under its jurisdiction. Even the dull people understood and were disappointed with the Han Dynasty. The trend of people's hearts was a subtle and irreversible change, which caused a series of adverse reactions in the world.
Liu Bei, who came from the lowest background, shared the remaining political capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty with Cao Cao and Sun Jian because of his courage to enterprising. His correct path in the future was based on this and devoured each other with Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Yan and others, and reunited the dragon spirit.
, it's a pity that the right time has been missed. It can be said that success is achieved by Liu Yan and failure is achieved by Liu Yan.
Of course, in fact, given Liu Yan's status, a few setbacks were nothing, and he did not do nothing. During the chaos in the Central Plains, tens of thousands of refugees from Nanyang and Sanfu entered Yizhou. Liu Yan recruited them all and called them "Dongzhou Soldiers"
”.
Although this military force caused a lot of troubles for the people, it became the decisive force in quelling the civil strife in Zhao Wei after Liu Zhang took over.
Later, Liu Yan wanted to proclaim himself emperor, but unfortunately a fire broke out in Mianzhu. Liu Yan's palace was burned down, and all the chariots and carriages he built were burned to pieces. Liu Yan had to move to Chengdu, and soon he suffered from back sores.
And die.
If he doesn't die, this person will definitely lead troops to fight in the future, fearing that there will be a chance to unify the world. Unfortunately, in official history, the destiny of the Han Dynasty is no longer with the Han Dynasty.
Ye Qing stood up and took a walk, and the two of them had no choice but to follow.
At this time, there was a slight drizzle and it was very cool. Everyone must bear the consequences of their own choices, and they will make their own decisions in the future. Ye Qing did not sympathize with Liu Yan, so he said to Liu Fan and Liu Dan: "Although I am my father,
Confused, but fortunately the country is safe, and since the person is dead, he will still have to return to the ancestral temple in the future."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly kowtowed heavily: "I am willing to persuade Shu to surrender in return for Your Majesty's favor."
"Well, it's getting late. You go down and have a rest early. The older generation has passed away, and the future of the empire still depends on you clans..." Ye Qing looked at them with a smile and said.
"...Rong Chen retires."
The two brothers said goodbye and left the palace city, sitting on the carriage on the way back.
For a long time, the eldest son Liu Fan sighed: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve both. Your Majesty has said it is so obvious. How can we, the ministers, not share your worries?"
"Yes... the situation is no longer what it used to be. Although there are suspicions of being unfilial to let his father down, Ji Yu is a coward and may not be able to defend Yizhou..."
"So, for the sake of my father's death, we should write a letter to persuade him to surrender."
That night, a letter from Luoyang was sent out from Luoyang and quickly reached the center of Shu through special channels. It was like a sharp dagger piercing the land of Shu.
Shu Land·Chengdu.
Originally, the state capital of Yizhou was Mianzhu. After an inexplicable fire last year, Liu Yan moved the palace to Chengdu.
"The window contains the snow of Qianqiu in the Xiling Mountains, and the door holds the ship thousands of miles away from Dongwu."
Looking from where Du Fu Thatched Cottage later stood, Xiling is the Minshan Mountain to the west of the barrier, with the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a barrier. The climate in the basin is much warmer and wetter than that of Luoyang, and the Dujiangyan Irrigation Dam has protected the Chengdu Plain from floods and droughts, and agriculture is flourishing.
There is also the development of the well salt industry and the iron industry. With the help of Yangtze River water transportation, trade is also prosperous. It is undoubtedly a good place for people to live.
But it is not a place where emperors keep their business. The fully enclosed structure of Shu Land can easily lock the dragon, which is far inferior to the ease of advance and retreat of the semi-enclosed land of Guanlong and Sanqin.
When Liu Bang was trapped here, he had to find a way to "build plank roads openly and secretly attack Chencang" to break through to Guanlong and completely reproduce the basic situation of Qin State. This was the basis of his advantage over Xiang Yu.
Liu Yan, the former king of Shu, also managed it, but unfortunately Ye Qing was not Xiang Yu, so he slapped Liu Yan back to Shuzhong before he could stand firm.
Compared with his ancestors and fathers, Liu Zhang was indeed a weak person. After receiving a stern letter from his brother, this second-generation Wang who grew up in the rich land of Shu proved very well what it meant to be born in peace and happiness and die in sorrow.
", "I don't feel bad for selling my father's land", and I immediately felt like surrendering.
"How can a son of man abandon the legacy of his ancestors?" Huang Quan, the chief registrar who was born in Bashu, and Yan Yan, the general, all tried their best to dissuade him.
Wang Lei, who was engaged in the work, even hung himself upside down on the palace gate, admonishing him with his death: "Your Majesty, the previous king passed away. If you bend your knees and sell out before the three-year period of filial piety has passed, wouldn't you be laughed at by the people of the world?"
Liu Zhang closed the palace door and kept out of sight.
There is a profit orientation behind the high-sounding power. In fact, the closed and fertile Shu land naturally has a tendency towards autonomy. Compared with being drained by the powerful central government of Qin and Han Dynasties, this is now more in line with the interests of the Shu people.
But this is not in the interests of Liu Zhang, the second generation of the king. On the contrary, it is even more hateful - these officials who only think about their own selfish interests, who can understand the worries of the widow?
The Three Gorges waterway was widening day by day, and the Shu Road was basically completed. Liu Zhang felt that he had been frightened by Zhao Yun's army for half a year. He was more willing to trust another group of officials - Fazheng, Zhang Song and others, so they suggested surrendering.
"We are from the same clan, and if the king wishes to surrender, he will surely get good results..." Fazheng said this, feeling anxious in his heart. If Liu Yan were here, he would not dare to say this even if he were killed.
Liu Zhang paced back and forth in the hall, pondering and hesitating. After all, this was a royal career. How could he give up so easily?
"Emperor Yingwu is a generous man, and he will treat you kindly... Wouldn't he be treated like someone who obeys his destiny?" Zhang Song's eyes were venomous, and he exposed the monarch's worries: "But if you resist the destiny, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get a white body, Shu.
The way has been established, what can the king do to resist?"
This group of people shared their worries, but also had interests in mind - Fazheng was actually from Fufeng County, Sili, and was greedy for money. His hometown received heavy bribes from the Luoyang Secret Service...
Although Zhang Song was born and raised in Chengdu, he was determined to make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. After receiving the emperor's personal letter, he burst into tears and felt that the only one who knew me was the emperor. He kowtowed in the direction of Luoyang and vowed to serve the emperor to the death.
Liu Zhang was sold.
"That's all, I can't bear the bloodbath of swords and soldiers, and the lives of the people are in ruins..." Liu Zhang sighed, with a look of compassion on his face, and then he finished his words, and saw only a strand of white and red dragon aura, a bunch of light green aura, instantly collapsed.
Not to mention that Yan Yan and others were desperate for a while. In line with the mentality of long nights and many dreams, the sooner they sell, the more valuable they will be. Liu Zhang took the initiative to send Zhang Song as an envoy to meet with Zhao Yun, the general who was stationed in Hanzhong to conquer the south. He couldn't wait to sell the Shu land at a good price.
In exchange for peace and wealth in the future.
A few days ago, under the moonlight in the garden, Ye Qing, Liu Fan, and Liu Dan were walking and chatting, and the sword they transformed hit the bullseye.
Half a month later, Zhao Yun, the general who conquered the south, came to Shu with good news - Liu Zhang, the queen of Shu, surrendered and surrendered Chengdu, and Shu was restored to peace.
In response to this, the emperor's only action, apart from sending people to reward the soldiers for their great service, was to offer sacrifices to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Wahuang Temple: "Today we will unify, the country will be complete, and the people of the tribe will be at peace. I would like to express my sincere admonishment."
Regarding Liu Zhang's treatment, Ye Qing compared it to his former cheating son Liu Adou. He planned to give him the title of "An Le Gong", but after thinking that it was too high, he decided to give him the title of "An Le Hou".
The rest is to move Liu Zhang's family to Luoyang, summon Fazheng, Zhang Song to come to the court, as well as general Yan Yan, and the family of Chariot and Cavalry General Wu Yi - together with his sister Wu, this can be regarded as the original queen. I heard that it is legitimate.
It is a pity to be widowed when you are young.
Except for a few insiders and Jia Xu's advisers, no one in the government or the public was aware of what the emperor had done, and few people would associate that night of chatting under the moonlight with the surrender of Shu.
The newspapers in Luoyang only praised the general's prowess in conquering the south, exaggerated the wealth and value of Shu, and praised the bravery of the soldiers.
"The old era ends and history opens a new page."
This is just like what "Sun Tzu" said in the Ji chapter, "The one who has not fought yet has many temples is the winner," and it is also said that "those who are good at winning do not fight", that is, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
In the midsummer of Yingwu's fifth year, time moved forward smoothly like this. After the dragon energy of Luoyang gathered the general trend of the world, everything was submerged under the mighty water.
The breeze blows and the water is calm, except for some small things.
It is said that the emperor's daughter came over that day. Ye Qing had been sitting for a long time and wanted to take a walk, so he left the study with her and took a slow walk along the shore of the imperial lake.
"You are the righteous god of the country, and you have enjoyed a lot. Is there anything you are neglecting?"
The emperor's daughter looked at the blue water of the lake, walked leisurely, and said: "Government is the emperor's business, I can't interfere too much, but when the emperor asks, I will tell you..."
"In the past, when the country was in turmoil, the benefits I received were indeed reduced, just like a trickle. But the emperor unified the world, governed all the people, restored production, and people's livelihood was stable. Now, in reality, compared with the previous dynasty, it has been reduced.
It’s not much different.”
Ye Qing nodded after hearing this and said: "Sichuan has been pacified, so all areas in the Han Dynasty have been restored."
"However, after gaining the territory of Shu, the population under its rule officially exceeds 40 million, which is popular among the people. However, there are only 36 million on the books. It is obvious that the remaining 5 million people are hiding somewhere."
"I will further investigate the location and people next."
A gust of wind swept across the lake, and in the distance, the palace attics, terraces and corridors were twisting and turning, and the lake water made a sound.
The emperor's daughter looked at it, but had other thoughts: "Yes, the emperor was originally blue and purple, but after he unified the world, his green spirit gradually faded away and his purple spirit became more intense."
"If a household is not recorded in the books, its Qi will only be half. Your Majesty really wants to check it, and it may be possible to achieve the Purple Qi."
Ye Qing stood still and let the wind blow for a long time before saying: "Achieving the Purple Qi does not depend on this. In the past five years, the population and farmland have basically returned to normal production. The next step is various projects."
"A few days ago, someone came to this book and said that there is peace now, the country's fortunes are booming, and it is almost a prosperous age. Or according to tradition, as long as I keep this, there will be a prosperous age and a rule of Yingwu."
"But for me, this is only half the way."
"When the world is peaceful, the best troops will be mobilized to the borders to attack and exhaust them, causing the barbarians to bleed."
"Then make the other barbarians surrender and pay tribute, and then our workshop can sell goods and buy cattle and sheep at low prices. We must squeeze everything we can."
"The steps are difficult, but I can still take a few more steps. You are the emperor's daughter, so you can see what I can do."
After hearing this, the emperor's daughter did not speak. After a long time, she said: "All the great and difficult affairs in the world are on your Majesty's shoulders. I ask your Majesty to provide more honors and support in addition to your administration, so that the country will be blessed."
