Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 669
Lingling, Yingpu.

It was night, the stars were dim, and the cold wind was blowing.Under the cold moon, in the Wu army camp, a figure in a black robe walked into the tent under the guidance of Wu army soldiers.

Inside the camp, the lights were dim, and only one figure could be seen sitting on the main seat, and a figure in a black robe also sat down.

"General Liao, how are you thinking?" Heipao said in a low voice.

General Wu, surnamed Liao, was silent for a while, and then said: "It is not possible, but I don't know how your country will unite with our ministry, and what official position and title can you give me to Liao Shi?"

The black robe remained silent, and after a long time, he said: "Under the four towns and the four conquest generals, you can choose any general position yourself. As for the title, it's very simple, it depends on your results. After you start as a township and conquer a county, Or when the number of soldiers under his command reaches ten thousand people, he can be granted the title of county marquis. After that, for every additional county, there will be an additional thousand food towns."

After a pause, the black robe said: "My big Han prefect does not lead troops, but only governs the people, except for the prefect of border counties. If you want to lead troops outside, just let me know."

Liao Shi was quite moved, and asked: "Can there be more?"

Heipao sneered and said, "Here is Jingzhou Mu, do you dare to take it?"

As he said that, the black robe looked at Liao Shi, and said, "Don't be mistaken, how can you tolerate an army outside the ranks in today's three-pointer? My great man has the power to rule the world. If you submit to the king, you will receive the hereditary title and pass it on to your descendants." It's fun."

"I would like to report to Mr. Wu that today our great Han has occupied the land west of Tongguan. Last year, we took advantage of Nanyang, Xiangyang and other Jingzhou counties in the east. We won against Wei in the north and defeated Dongwu in the south. Now we want to attack Jingchu. Visit Wu Jun as an internal response."

Liao Shi pondered for a long time, and said: "In the second half of the year, or in November or December, an incident will be launched at the border of the two states of Jingjiao."

Nanhai County, Jieyang County.

"Liao Li!" Liao Shi muttered a few words, and said, "I've heard of his name quite a bit, and I've heard it mentioned by the elders in the clan."

Therefore, Liao Shi, who lived in Jingzhou and was a native of Jingzhou, could not see that Soochow's governance in Jingzhou was too strict, which led to the phenomenon that the people did not dare to have children and fled into the mountains to become bandits.Once someone raised his arms and shouted, he would follow the crowd like a cloud.

As he said that, Yin Quan took out a seal from his luggage and prepared to present it to Wu Dang, saying: "Wu Jun, Your Majesty worships you as General Fengjie, loyal to the Tinghou of the Han Dynasty, and the captain of the south."

As a result, Lu Xun, who was the shepherd of Jingzhou, went to Shu to persuade Sun Quan many times, thinking that the science and law were severe and there were many offenders. Soochow needed to relax the law, recuperate, and relax the collection of taxes.But Sun Quan didn't accept it, and he still used force everywhere.

Sun Quan used strict means to control the township officials, forcing them to complete household registration, taxation and other meticulous work, but what followed was that the township officials put pressure on them, and the people of Jingzhou often used things as collateral in order to complete the taxes paid. , cannot make ends meet, how can the people of Jingzhou not suffer!

"Exactly." The black robe continued to induce: "The general's chief official, Jiang Mi, is the Jiang family of Lingling, and my great Han Shangshu Ling Jiang Wan is also from Lingling. The general may be able to induce one or two, or perhaps both. .”

For Jingzhou, Sun Quan implemented more stringent legal governance.

Liao Shi still didn't want his superior, Jiang Mi, to join the game. Jiang Mi would definitely take away half of his credit, and even turn his back on the guest.

The man in black didn't say much, he cupped his hands and said, "Since Mr. Liao is confident, I don't know when and where he will rebel."

The officials were responsible for a lot of work connecting with the grassroots society, but their work was very heavy, not to mention the low salary, and they had to pay taxes to the upwards, which also led to the phenomenon of a large number of rural officials and their families fleeing.In order to maintain the rule at the grassroots level, Soochow took a series of strict measures to control the township officials.

In order to absorb the difficult-to-reach experience of Yangzhou, Soochow set up a large number of basic officials in Jingzhou. These officials, as the tentacles of the Soochow regime spread all over the grassroots society, penetrated into all aspects of grassroots society, and directly connected with specific rural residents. The regime was able to achieve deep control over the grassroots.

This is also the reason why Yanghu guards Jingbei and often shows favor to Jingzhou people. It is because Soochow is really not good to Jingzhou people.

However, the man in black didn't want to give up, and continued: "Mr. Liao is only a general, and I'm afraid the troops will not be strong enough to shake Soochow."

First of all, the township officials who did not work well were severely punished, and those who were unfavorable in taxation were punished with the cane.Secondly, the township officials also have the obligation to supervise each other, and the documents need to be signed by others.Even, Soochow achieved control over the local officials in order to control the family members of the local officials.

"promise!"

"Besides, the general is from the Liao family in Lingling, and Liao Li, one of my great Han attendants, is the same family as the king. Liao Lishen is favored by His Majesty, and he is in charge of the writing of imperial edicts and military affairs. If you return to Han, you will have such noble people to help you. I'm afraid the general is too expensive! At that time, a certain general needs to be promoted." The black robe cupped his hands towards Liao Shi and said with a smile.

On Jieyang Ridge, a cottage is located on it, and the dilapidated Han flag is flying.

"Who are you, but you dare to call yourself the emissary of a big man?" the old man asked with narrowed eyes.

The Han envoy dressed as a merchant walked into the thatched hut, and saw an old man sitting on it, with a younger person next to him.

Compared with the unreliable Liao style, the big man believed in Wu Dang and revealed the earlier planning and arrangement. Yin Quan said: "Your Majesty will raise troops in the early spring of next year or this winter. Mausoleum. I don’t know the rest of the road. However, there is still an incident in Jingnan. Therefore, Wu Jun can start an incident in Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, to respond to our army in Jingnan. As for the subsequent march, we can wait for our army in the future. information."

Sun Quan treats Yangzhou differently from Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.Because of his own foundation and most of the high-level Soochow people are from Yangzhou, Yangzhou is governed mostly by the gentry, with tolerance as the top priority.But it is also quite harsh on ordinary people.

After finishing speaking, Wu Dang got up and took Yin Quan to his seat, and said: "Dare to ask when the big man will send troops, and how should our army fight."

Liao Shi shook his head and said with a sneer: "You should know something. Sun Quan ruled Yangzhou with the gentry, and now we are governed by the cruel Qin system. The common people and officials all complain about it. Now Jingzhou should be like dry wood, which will burn when it encounters fire. I Although the Ministry is small, it can be combined with Jiang Mi's army. It will exempt the people of Jingzhou from paying taxes to resist the Wu army, and there will be many followers."

……

The envoy of the Han Dynasty straightened his clothes slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Corporal Yin Quan, by order of the great Han, I pay my respects to the former county magistrate of Ancheng, Changsha."

Liao Shi stroked his beard and said, "Secret Jiang may not be able to persuade him, so I will be enough!"

After saying a few more words, the man in black went out again.

Wu Dang got up quickly, took the seal in fear, kowtowed to the west with his hands in his hands, and shouted: "The minister Wu Dang leads your majesty's order, and he will live up to your majesty's expectations."

Hearing the long-lost address, the old man couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He opened and closed his lips, closed and opened them again, and said, "This is Wu Dang, Wu Shushan, the magistrate of Ancheng County. May I ask how the big man is doing now? Since Han took Longyou , there is no more news."

Seeing that the man in black still wanted to ask more questions, Liao Shi said, "As for how to raise troops, you don't need to ask."

"Yes!" Wu Dang said, "It's time to thank you."

Wu Dang naturally believed Yin Quan's words, and did not doubt his spies.After all, in the interior of Soochow Wu, if you want to annihilate yourself, you just need to send a large army, so why bother.Over the years, as long as I don't do anything, Jiaozhou, the state and county don't want to care about me, and let myself fend for myself.

As for Yin Quan, it is even simpler. I have never heard of someone who can persist in the enemy's territory for 20 years and hang the Han flag to show his identity as a Han minister.A loyal martyr who vowed not to surrender and said bluntly that he only knew Han, but not Wu.

And if it wasn't for the big man wanting to attack Jingzhou, if it wasn't for Zhuge Qiao's intelligence system, he wouldn't have known that there was such a person in the southeast corner.
