Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 881 The Great Victory
Under the scorching sun, waiting riders galloped from east to west, whipping their horses and raising their whips, bringing up billowing smoke and dust.The red flag on his back means that he is delivering urgent information for the frontier.Pedestrians on the galloping road retreated one after another, not daring to stop him.

Entering Chang'an Street, the scout was already sweating profusely. He shouted hoarsely towards the merchants and people on both sides of the street: "Liaodong victory, more than [-] people from Dongyi were captured."

Although these common people in the market didn't know where Liaodong was, they didn't know what the great victory had to do with their lives.But as their lives improved, they were quite keen on these gossips, and when they heard the victory of the war, they were all proud and honored.

People's pride in the country is not born out of thin air, but is built step by step through war.

From this point of view, the military armament of the Great Han is far from being comparable to that of ordinary unified countries. He can imagine the military strength of the empire he has fought for two or 30 years from a three-point world.

The Privy Council stayed at the office in Chang'an, and after receiving the Liaodong military report, they quickly sent the military report to Liu Chan, who was escaping the summer heat in Taiyi Palace.

At this time, Liu Chan was reading the memorial sent by Prince Liu Sui from Yangzhou, and he was very happy to see the progress of the field.

Ever since Liu Sui decided to use an iron fist to save the fields, Yangzhou has been flying around.Not only did Liu Sui send officials under the crown prince to inspect the local area, but he found that any local officials who were slack were either dismissed or demoted.If he is found to be in collusion with the gentry and powerful, he will be executed immediately.

At the same time, Liu Zhen also ordered the people in the village and the tyrants to report to each other and expose those families who did not spend their fields honestly.If the report is true, you can get those corresponding rewards.

If there is an error in the verification of the land, the local gentry can only keep the corresponding land of their tribe, and the excess land will be confiscated by the big man, and the land will be shared with the informant.

Or to verify that the slaves have discrepancies, if the reported gentry lose all their slaves, they will be divided [-]/[-] between the big man and the informant.

After all, the land survey is not just a field survey alone, but also the population, slaves, and the number of acres of land must be checked.Moreover, Dutian is not to deprive the nobles of their land, but to let them pay taxes after verification.According to the land system implemented by the Han Dynasty, if they have no military merits or serve as high-ranking officials in the clan, they can only keep the current quota of acres, and cannot expand it. Field acres can only be rotated within the clan.

After Liu Sui's two-pronged approach, he quickly caught the officials who colluded with the gentry, punished them, filled their vacant positions with officials dispatched from nearby states and counties, and began a vigorous campaign to save land.

Under the Dutian policy, the local tyrants and gentry were divided, and they did not hesitate to set off a rebellion.Obedience is true obedience, and it also helps the big man to report and expose those fake gentry.During this period, there were also a group of people who became rich and became landlords through reporting and exposing.

For a while, rebellions broke out in four or five counties including Danyang County, Wu County, Kuaiji County, and Xindu County.Facing the rebels that appeared in the local area, Liu Sui's methods were also ruthless.Let Yuan Hong send troops to suppress and kill the chief culprit. Five people behead one person, and those who surrender first will be exonerated.

Pressing the memorial, Liu Chan was quite satisfied, and said to everyone: "It is a wise move for the prince to go to Yangzhou to spend his land. Although there is a rebellion in Yangzhou today, the scale is still controllable, and it is all within my expectations."

Chen only offered a teacup to Liu Chan, and complimented him: "The crown prince's ability to save the land is due to His Majesty's foresight and foresight, forcing the Jiangzuo gentry to go to Guanzhong. Therefore, although there is a rebellion in Yangzhou, it will not be a climate. General Yuan can ride [-] steps. Destroy it."

After the return of Wuyue and Yue, Liu Chan forcibly moved Wuyue's high-ranking gentry to Guanzhong, regardless of the advice of some people.This operation separated the upper-class gentry in Yangzhou from the place, and also gave the big man room to operate Dutian.

Yangzhou is no better than the Central Plains. Although they have gentry and tyrants, their scale is not large. Until the establishment of Wu State, the gentry who grew up in Wu State also expanded.

Compared with the pyramid structure in the Central Plains, the Yangzhou gentry is even more deformed. After the upper-class gentry of Wu was moved away, the Yangzhou gentry basically had no representative gentry.This is not the case for the Wei State. Even if the great Han moved a large number of high-level gentry from Cao Wei to Guanzhong, there is still a lot of power in the local area.

This is also the reason why Liu Chan chose Yangzhou to take the lead in launching Dutian. The most rebellious Jiangdong clan was taken to Guanzhong, and the remaining gentry clans were nothing to worry about, and the difficulty was the lowest.Under Liu Zhen's division and force attack, Liu Chan must have received good news from Jiang Zuo again in a few days.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to do that. The prince should have made great contributions. First, he appeased the two countries of Wu and Yue, and moved their high-level gentry to Guanzhong; then he went to Yangzhou to perform Dutian. His achievements are outstanding and unmatched. barge."

As he spoke, Liu Chan pointed his finger at Fei Yi slightly, and said, "If the crown prince can succeed in saving the land in Yangzhou, it will give me confidence in the officials of the Han Dynasty. Next, we can gradually implement the land saving in all states and counties in the world and promote the cultivation of land. politics."

Liu Zhen was under pressure on the front line, and Liu Chan was also under pressure in Chang'an.The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, Yangzhou promotes land administration, so are other states and counties still far away?

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Chan moved his office to Taiyi Palace. It is called a summer escape. In fact, it is to make himself quieter, and to make the court ministers less disturbed, and to strengthen his determination to promote Tianzheng.And what Liu Chan said just now not only encouraged Fei Yi, but also encouraged those courtiers who questioned Du Tian.

"No!" Everyone responded.

During the discussion between the monarch and his ministers, the battle report from Liaodong was also sent to Taiyi Palace.

"Your Majesty, in the great victory in Liaodong, more than [-] Goguryeos were beheaded, and more than [-] Goguryeo people were captured. The king of Dongchuan and the Goguryeo royal family all bestowed their heads."

Huangfu Tao, who had just entered the secretary's prison, held the battle report, walked happily into the hall, and reported.

Liu Chan took the battle report and said with a smile: "The crown prince's visit to Yangzhou has achieved results at the beginning, and the army of the Eastern Expedition has received another good news. It is really double happiness."

While speaking, Liu Chan opened the battle report, which recorded the battle process in detail.

Jiang Wei's army besieged Wandu, and the grain and grass in Wandu city were exhausted. King Dongchuan tried to surrender to the big man.Jiang Wei refused to surrender, and declared that only when the king of Dongchuan granted the head, the great Han would agree to the surrender of Goguryeo.This remark directly caused internal strife, and Dongchuan King's generals joined forces with his soldiers to rebel, beheading Dongchuan King and leaving the city to surrender to the Han army.

Jiang Wei's troops beheaded [-] people and captured [-] people from Goguryeo.

Wei Hu broke through the old capital Heshenggu City, hundreds of levels, and captured tens of thousands of Goguryeo people.And Ma Di, who went deep into the hinterland to attack the city of Goguryeo, made great achievements. He beheaded more than a thousand people and captured [-] Goguryeo people.

This battle destroyed the core strength of Goguryeo, and the remaining people fled in all directions, hiding in the white mountains and black waters, becoming aliens.

"color!"

"It's really a great victory. Goguryeo is no longer my enemy."

All the ministers listened to the battle report, or applauded, or talked about the current battle.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the aftermath of Liaodong?" Huangfu Tao asked.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and said: "Move the captive Goguryeo men and women to the counties and counties of Ping and Youzhou to organize households and counties for the common people of our Han Dynasty. Take them as soldiers, and temporarily let Du Yu lead them."

After a pause, Liu Chan said: "Change Pingzhou to Hanzhou. The governor of Pingzhou, Yan Yu, made great contributions and was transferred to the governor of Liangzhou. Du Yu was promoted to the governor of Hanzhou, and concurrently served as the prefect of the belt. Set it as a county and restore the old land of the former Han Dynasty. As for other meritorious generals and schools, after being drafted by Shangshutai, they will be rewarded according to their merits."

"promise!"

In fact, after the Han Dynasty conquered Pingzhou, because Youzhou governed six counties and Pingzhou only had five counties, there were too few counties. Some people proposed to merge Pingzhou into Youzhou and be under the unified jurisdiction of Youzhou.However, it was rejected by Liu Chan and insisted on retaining the two-state system.

The reason for maintaining the Pingzhou system is to allow him to go to the outside world alone, but go to Goguryeo in the north and serve Sanhan in the east.Now that Goguryeo has been resolved, the plan to annex Samhan can also be launched.Naming Pingzhou as Hanzhou represents the determination of the great Han to annex Sanhan.

Hanzhou in Liu Chan's conception will be based on the Korean Peninsula and extend to the northwest.After all, the current Pingzhou is based on the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, which is too weak, and lacks depth in the north.

In the future, if the Han Dynasty is based on the Korean Peninsula and has mountains in the north, even if there is chaos in Liaodong, it will be able to connect with Qingzhou on the Shandong Peninsula by water.In the future, Youzhou and Hanzhou will be the cornerstones to ensure the stable rule of the Han Dynasty in Liaodong.

As for why it doesn't expand to the north, it is true that the northeast is too cold, unlike the Korean peninsula, where the climate is better.Most of them are fishing and hunting peoples, lacking farming peoples as the basis of rule, so they can only rely on jiji.
