Chapter 359 After the big reshuffle, Wen Chou comes
Proxy war is a type of war that occurred more frequently in history, especially in the late World War II.
To its general effect, it refers to a war in which two countries do not directly participate, but in which two opposing forces use external conflicts to attack the interests or territory of the other party in some way. This usually includes countries attacking allies of opposing countries and helping their allies attack enemies.
.
Today's internal war in Wuhuan, for the Han Dynasty or the Animal Husbandry Department headed by Liu Jian, is a war similar to an agent. However, what is different from a normal agent war is that the Wuhuan Tao of Western Liaoning is a chess piece.
Dun, there were two other Wuhuan leaders, Su Puyan and Nanlou, and the masters behind them were Liu Jian, or Xun Yu.
In other words, what Liu Jian and Xun Yu are playing now is beating themselves up.
I'm sending myself and I'm sending myself, I really can't control myself and I'm sending myself away.
…
Liu Jian stayed at his home in Zhuo County for a while. During this period, he not only met the heads of the various branches of the Liu family in Zhuo County, but also met many young talents in the clan. Of course, he also met his good brother,
Liu Kang.
This is the baby of Liu Zhou and Hu. He is only three years old now, about the same age as Liu Jian's second son.
But in fact, in this era when the average life expectancy is relatively low, Liu Zhou already belongs to the kind of person who has today but no tomorrow.
They say they are brothers, but in fact an elder brother is like a father. The responsibility of educating this child may fall on Liu Jian at some point.
During this period of time, people came to Zhuojun to visit Liu Jian in an endless stream. In addition to the Liu family members, there were also many nobles from Zhuojun and surrounding areas.
Their father-in-law came to visit them personally, bringing heavy gifts.
Liu Jian saw all the people, but Liu Jian didn't receive the things either.
What Liu Jian wanted from these people was not gold or silk.
What he wanted was larger and more precious, but he was afraid that the powerful people in Youzhou would not be willing to give it to him.
Soon, Zhang Ju's head was brought to Liu Jian.
Historically, the chaos caused by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion in Youzhou was far greater than it is now. It is not an exaggeration to say that its destructive power on Youzhou is ten times greater now.
However, due to Liu Jian's foresight and effective intervention, Zhang Li, Zhang Chun and the Wuhuan Rebellion were all controlled within a relatively small range.
Now that Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju are all dead, the rebellion has subsided, and serious internal fighting has occurred in Wuhuan. If nothing else happens, after the internal fighting in Wuhuan is over, the imperial court should be able to smoothly accept the Wuhuan people.
The relationship between the Han Dynasty and Wuhuan is no longer that of employer and mercenary, but will adopt a fusion approach to attribute them to the Han nation.
The key to the next step is the policy and interest chain that Liu Jian wants to implement in Youzhou.
This is also the matter that the lords of various counties in Youzhou are most concerned about.
Liu Jian quickly sent a reply to everyone in Youzhou.
In early June, Liu Jian received Zhang Ju's head in Zhuo County. He ordered his head to be taken to the capital of Chang'an. Then he ordered Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Qu Yi and others to quickly attack Yuyang County and Shanggu.
, You Beiping, Liaoxi and other counties, and killed several powerful right families who supported Zhang's rebellion in various counties during Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion.
It was really a complete killing, without any mercy.
The first to be exterminated was the Xiong family of Haoyou in Yuyang. This family was a staunch supporter of the Zhang family in Yuyang. In the early days of Zhang Ju's rebellion, the Xiong family provided Zhang Ju with countless horses and grain, and even sent disciples
directly participated in the war.
According to Xiong's understanding of the actions of the central government of the Han Dynasty over the years, the central government of the Han Dynasty had excessive internal power struggles and poor management of people's livelihood, resulting in a fiscal deficit in the treasury and a shortage of various expenditures. Therefore, in recent decades
, when it comes to local rebellions, the imperial court has always focused on killing the effective forces of the rebels, while generally appeasing the supporters behind the turmoil.
Therefore, Yuyang Xiong believed that even if Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion was put down, according to the Han government's past post-war measures to quell local wars, the government and army would not have too much accountability for their supporters.
, as long as they work for their own benefit, sincerely show their surrender to the authorities, and deeply realize their mistakes, they should not do anything to themselves.
After all, the central government and government agencies have always only wanted stability for Youzhou.
But obviously, this time things are not as simple as Yuyang Xiong imagined.
Zhang Fei led his troops to completely annihilate the Yuyang Xiong clan in the name of exterminating the traitorous vassals!
The crime is just like that of the Zhang Ju clan, without any mercy.
The Xiong family in Yuyang were all slaughtered, leaving no one alive.
Zhang Fei had already experienced this kind of thing when he was fourteen years old.
At that time, he was still a brash young man who followed Liu Jian around.
But now, he is not the same person he was then.
Confiscation of homes and extermination of clans is nothing new to him, it can be said that he can easily do it.
At the same time as Zhang Fei, there were two soldiers, Huang Zhong and Qu Yi, who were raiding their homes and annihilating their clans. Guan Yu accompanied Xun Yu and sat in Wuzhong County to observe the reactions of the nobles in various counties in Youzhou.
On the evening of June 6, Huang Zhong and others outsmarted the Zhang family's Wubao. All the Zhang family members in Yuyang were captured and detained, and all the supplies were collected.
On the morning of June 8th, the family of Li family in Shanggu was attacked by Huang Zhong, and seventy-seven of them were beheaded. The rest surrendered and confiscated their belongings.
At noon on June 12, Sun Jiabaowu surrendered. The Sun family asked to give up all their property, land, and households, and only wanted to keep their lives. Qu Yi reported to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu agreed, temporarily imprisoning his family members.
…
…
Over the next ten days or so, the rebel families were wiped out one after another, and the entire Youzhou was in turmoil.
Logically speaking, in order to quell the rebellion, Liu Jian carried out such a large-scale purge to scare many powerful family figures into rebelling at this time.
But in fact, they didn't.
First, they were frightened by Liu Jian's killing methods. Liu Jian used his actions to tell them that from now on, no matter who they are, what their status is, or how powerful they are in the local area, the homes of anyone who rebels will be confiscated.
Genocide.
Moreover, before today's purge, those powerful and rightful families who had not been in tandem with Zhang Ju and others had already been deeply tied up by Xun Yu using the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Trade and the newly opened iron ore and graphite industries in Wuzhong County.
Certainly.
Although they cannot control the most profitable industries such as iron smelting and armor making, Wuzhong County's mining output is too huge, and the downstream benefit chain it generates is enough to make these families salivate.
In particular, many poor families in Youzhou have already seized the opportunity. At this moment, if they do not report it to the official office quickly, and wait for the industrial chain of Wuwen Mining to be concretely determined, these families may no longer be able to live in Youzhou.
It’s time to establish a cone.
The right-wing identity that they spent many generations establishing might be lost due to the huge changes in the overall situation in Youzhou.
The horror of class slippage is unimaginable to them.
And when it comes to the next time to re-divide the benefits, I don’t know that it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
Therefore, at this juncture, no one dares to act rashly.
If no one moves, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Qu Yi and others will kill each other with joy.
All counties in Youzhou are bleeding like rivers!
Liu Jian's actions sounded a loud alarm bell to the entire north, or the entire world!
From today on, anyone who dares to betray the country will definitely be severely punished. Moreover, this heavy responsibility is not just for individuals, but involves the entire clan.
At the same time, Chang'an's appointment was also issued.
Regarding the achievements of Xun Yu, Guan Yu and others in Youzhou, the imperial court issued appointments. They were promoted and rewarded generously.
However, Liu Jian did not get the position of Youzhou Shepherd that he originally sought for Xun Yu and Guan Yu.
The reason is very simple. Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to Liu Jian
One of the sentences explains that Mu Shou is the root of chaos in the world, how can it be established frequently?
Obviously, although Dong Zhuo has reconciled with Liu Jian again, he is somewhat wary of Liu Jian. Moreover, Dong Zhuo has probably figured out the weight of Zhou Mu by now, and cannot take it lightly.
With such a good card, if Liu Jian didn't provide enough benefits, Dong Zhuo would naturally not give it to him easily.
However, the achievements of Xun Yu and Guan Yu cannot be erased.
Although Chang'an had appointed General Zhonglang to come to Youzhou to help Xun Yu quell the rebellion, Xun Yu had already quelled the war before he arrived in Youzhou.
With such great achievements, if Xun Yu and Guan Yu were not rewarded and promoted, not only Liu Jian would not obey, but there might also be people in the court who would jump out and cause trouble because of this matter.
Dong Zhuo was a man who could pick up things, put them down, and carry things cleanly.
He naturally knows that some situations need to be done.
After careful consideration, he drafted the official title for suppressing rebellion in Youzhou.
Now Han Fu, the governor of Youzhou, has completely finished his game. He has completely lost his ability to govern and has become a cripple. For Dong Zhuo, this bastard betrayed him at the beginning, so this time he took the opportunity to capture him on the spot.
Therefore, Xun Yu succeeded Han Fu and became the governor of Youzhou.
Dong Zhuo decided on this position after careful consideration for a long time.
Basically, Liu Jian's request was met, but at the same time, Xun Yu was not given so much power.
As for Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others, they were all respected as captains before. They were both sentimental and rational, so they could no longer be awarded military titles. If not, wouldn't they have created a lot of general titles?
If Liu Jian has a bunch of generals under his command, he will not rebel in Hebei from now on.
It happened that after the great chaos in Youzhou, all the local governors were dismissed from their posts due to the disadvantage of putting down the chaos.
Therefore, Huang Zhongqian became the governor of Youbeiping, Zhang Fei was from Youzhou, and the three mutually avoided him. He went to Jizhou to serve as the Prime Minister of Hejian State, Qu Yi had meritorious service and became the Prime Minister of Yuyang County, and Zhao Jun was exempted from his past crimes and promoted to Liaodong.
Sima of another department in the subject country.
Gongsun Zan, the captain of the cavalry, moved to be the prefect of Wei County in Jizhou.
Jian Yong succeeded Huang Zhong and became the captain of Wuhuan Huhuan, assisted by Tian Yu and Tian Chou.
Jian Yong has indeed made great achievements in dividing Wuhuan this time, and among discerning people, the era of Wuhuan as a military force is about to pass. In the near future, Wuhuan will have a high probability of being absorbed by the Han Dynasty, which makes Jian Yong relatively good at it.
It is far better for a civil servant to occupy this position during this period than for a military general to occupy this position.
The person who really made Dong Zhuo scratch his head was Guan Yu.
The achievements of other people may be slightly improved or even adjusted, but they are still justifiable.
For example, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others used to hold military positions as captains. Although their ranks were higher, they were only military positions in Tongying. If they were moved to become prefects of a county, they would truly become two thousand stones in charge of the place.
He was grasped in the local military and political affairs and became the target of lifelong efforts for many famous disciples of the Han Dynasty.
This is indeed an opportunity for transformation for them, which can be considered a favor.
But Guan Yu was originally the captain of the Liaodong vassal state, and he was already in military and political control in the Liaodong vassal state.
How can such a person be allowed to become a prefect?
Moreover, Guan Yu's role in bringing down the Pingjuchun rebellion was really too great this time.
Relying on his prestige, he gathered powerful underworld forces in Youzhou and was able to quickly suppress Juchun's troops. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether the Juchun Rebellion would have developed into a rebellion that affected the entire Hebei Province in history.
, so Guan Yu’s contribution cannot be taken lightly.
Therefore, the imperial court thought over and over again and decided to move Guan Yu to be the governor of Shanggu, and at the same time make him lead the Xiongnu Zhonglang General to show his merits.
It was reasonable to move him to the post of governor, but the key was to give him the title of Zhonglang General of the Huns.
Although he was only the founding lieutenant responsible for the administration of the Xiongnu, he finally had the title of general, which was fair to Guan Yu, who had made great contributions to Youzhou.
Many of Liu Jian's friends became high-ranking officials in Youzhou, and each of them became the highest-ranking local governor in the Han Dynasty.
Although it was not as good as Liu Jian originally expected, the result was completely acceptable.
Moreover, for Liu Jian, Youzhou is already under his control. What is missing is a clearer concentration of power. Even if the court does not give his younger brothers high positions, he will still use them as
The privilege of Jie Jie Yue made him wait for the time being.
With a group of young brothers taking on important tasks in northern Xinjiang, and at the same time demonstrating his power by eliminating the vassals of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, Liu Jian will further promote reforms in the next step.
There is no doubt that the first step is to take out all the land that was ownerless due to the war and the land that was confiscated for rent and farming.
Subsequently, the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Industry began to screen families based on their strength and once again recruited a group of available poor families as members to enhance the association's local influence.
At the same time, the farming methods that Jizhou has studied over the years, as well as the overturned carts, keel waterwheels and other objects that are beneficial to water conservancy farming, must be placed in suitable places in Youzhou to assist farming and expand food production.
For the Han Dynasty, no matter which state or county was governed, the first priority was farming.
After all, in this era, having enough food and drink is more important than anything else. Without enough rice, everything is nonsense.
After all, this is an agricultural society.
At the same time, in accordance with Liu Jian's request, the Qingzhou book and periodical industry began to print a batch of books suitable for farming and distribute them widely.
The editor-in-chief of these books is Liu Jian, but the writers are various farming and breeding talents who have been recruited to Jizhou by Liu Jian in recent years.
Liu Jian organized an agricultural book editing committee in Yecheng, and encouraged them to compile their knowledge on planting and water conservancy into a book in order to benefit the people. After several verifications and approvals, it was finally printed and sent to the factory.
.
This set of practical science and technology books, which Liu Jian personally took charge of, broke the previous convention of only recording Confucian knowledge in books, and began to be sold and distributed in the markets of various counties at extremely low prices.
This set of books is called "Essential Art for Qi Min, First Edition".
Liu Jian knew that it was just him who worked hard to advance various technologies of the Han Dynasty...especially agricultural technology. No matter how powerful he was, its influence and radiation were still limited after all.
But the power of knowledge and books is endless.
Especially agricultural knowledge, if it can be spread widely through books and benefit farmers, it will be great for this nation.
Of course, most farmers in this era were illiterate, but almost all farmers were supported by noble families or powerful families.
As long as someone from these wealthy families masters the knowledge of the art of improving the people, even if it is just to popularize knowledge among the farmers in their own manor, then sooner or later other ordinary farmers will be able to get the information, but the speed will be relatively slow.
In this way, the agricultural technology of the Han Dynasty will reach a new height as time passes, gradually becoming more and more sophisticated.
In this way, as time goes by, more and more people can have enough to eat, and more and more people are willing to have children after having enough to eat. As the population increases, productivity will gradually increase.
Liu Jian will not be stingy in this aspect of knowledge dissemination.
He hopes that in the next few years, "Essential Art for Elevating the People" will be continuously improved, reprinted and reprinted, so that the methods of farming and seed selection can be continuously refined to popularize people's livelihood.
Second edition, third edition, fourth edition.
The more output there is, the faster farming knowledge changes and the wider its spread.
…
After the farming affairs in Youzhou were smoothed, Liu Jian began to smooth the profit distribution of Wuzhong Mining.
There is no doubt that the mining industry is state-owned and the Animal Husbandry Department has complete control over it. This is a certainty.
Now it includes iron smelting, coal making and other post-production operations such as manufacturing and distribution.
These require the participation of people from all major families in Youzhou.
The re-division of the interest chain will create a new group of powerful people in Youzhou, and will also cause the decline of a group of old powerful people.
But so what?
Don’t times keep changing under such circumstances?
Besides, even if those old nobles were dissatisfied, would they dare to say no in front of him?
After the great purge after Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion, which family in Youzhou now dares to face Liu Jian's strength?
Everything is under the control of the government headed by Liu Jian.
But in this division of interests, Gongsun Zan and Guan Yu jointly introduced someone to Liu Jian.
A person who made Liu Jian unexpected.
"Wen Chou, a member of the Wen family in Liaodong, has met General Zuo!"
After hearing the gentle man in front of him announce his name, Liu Jian was stunned.
He never expected that the last person in Hebei's Four Courtyard Pillars would actually appear under such circumstances.
Yan Liang, Zhang He, and Gao Lan have already been put into the jar.
But it wasn't until today that this literary clown slowly emerged.
"How late is it for Wenjun to come here?"
Wen Chou did not understand the meaning of Liu Jian's words. Instead, he thought that Liu Jian deliberately used these words to make things difficult for him, so he said: "Wen has been a filial piety to his father for a year. After thinking deeply about it, he is willing to return to the general's tent. I also asked for leave. The general does not want to
Bear grudges first, after all, our ancestors from the Liaodong Wen family are all former officials of the Yuan family, so we have to draw a line with the general, and please forgive me, general!"
"An old official of the Yuan family?" After hearing Wen Chou's words, Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
Think about it, as a famous general under Yuan Shao in history, with good looks, good looks and ugly looks, how could his family not have some relationship with Yuan Shao's family?
This Wen Chou never showed up. Presumably it was because of this relationship that he had been watching the situation in Hebei and did not dare to easily betray the Yuan family and come under his command to help in the war.
Seeing that Liu Jian was a little confused, Guan Yu immediately walked to his side.
"The Wen family is also a wealthy family in Liaodong. When I was the captain of the vassal state in Liaodong, I had a lot of traction with his family. However, Wenjun's father was an old official of Yuan Kai's family in the past. I only thought about the children of the Yuan family, not the children of the Yuan family.
I hope everyone will vote for me, and my younger brother will not force me to do anything to him. Now that Wenjun's father has been dead for many years, Wenjun has become the new father of the family. He understands the current situation, so he hopes that the whole family will vote for him."
My illness is not completely cured, but I guess it’s almost done. Today I’m feeling better than two in one.
