Overlord!

Chapter 104 Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

Following Sun Ce's military order, more than [-] horsemen were immediately separated from the tens of thousands of cavalry that had assembled to go south, and directly entered Danyang County under the command of Xu Kun and Lu Fan.

The army marched straight in, splitting their way from Qu'a, Yangxian and other places, and within a few days directly occupied the eight counties of Jiangcheng, Jurong, Hushu, Liyang, Wuhu, Chungu and even Moling and Shicheng.

The naval forces of Wu County can enter the Yangtze River directly along the Lishui River from Taihu Lake. This actually means that the eight counties north of the Lishui River in Danyang County are basically cut off from the southern county.

The only counties that Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang, can control are the prefecture Wanling and the five counties south of Jing, which seem to be ruled by the river, but the south is barren, and the terrain is dangerous, with many mountains and mountains. The total population of the six counties is only [-] to [-]. households, but also to deal with the harassment of Shan Yue.

The population of Yangzhou has always been concentrated along the Yangtze River in the north. The household registrations of these eight counties are under the control of Sun Ce. The densely populated areas, agriculturally developed areas, and all commercial ferries, military towns, and even tax revenues in Danyang County. He was taken into Sun Ce's hands in one breath.

In the name of tax collection, the Sima of all ministries stationed in all cities, warehouses, and ferries. If anyone dared to resist, conflicts would erupt immediately, and the opponent who was beaten would be angry and dare not speak out.

The army's long-distance drive was already planned by Sun Ce.

This is the most direct means to forcibly seize the northern part of Danyang, covering the influence of the forces here with unshakable strength.

But don't think that Sun Ce will simply think that a county can be captured with such a brutal method.

After the army spread its influence to the northern part of Danyang, in just a few days, dozens of elders from Danyang came to Sun Ce's camp together.

At such a fast speed, Sun Ce himself would not believe that no one would unite with them!
And sure enough, after the group saluted, Sun Ce met several acquaintances among the "elders" in Danyang in the front row.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Governor Gui, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I still look good."

And this GUI governor is the northern governor of Danyang, GUI LAN!

When Gui Lan saw that Liu Yao's defeat in Danyang had been determined, he took the initiative to join forces with powerful forces to negotiate with Sun Ce, and together with Sun Ce expelled Liu Yao's forces, thus standing on the side of the winner.

Therefore, they not only obtained the promise of Qiu Wuwu from Sun Ce, and preserved the interests of the powerful, but also because Sun Ce and Zhou Shang expelled Liu Yao, stood firm in Danyang, and gained a lot of wealth and power.

For example, GUI Lan was appointed by Sun Ce as the governor of the northern part of Danyang to help the army raise food and grass.He successively delivered at least [-] shi of grain to Sun Ce free of charge, which can be said to be a heavy investment.

Of course, all this is not without rewards, because of his performance, Danyang prefect Zhou Shang still did not remove his post as the northern governor after Sun Celi entered Wujun, so that he could continue to raise food, grass and soldiers to help Sun Ce in the battle .

This made the Gui family leap from being powerful in the local area to becoming the prefect of Danyang County!

In addition to Guilan, there are also a large number of powerful children from the north who replaced the officials of Liu Yao's faction as county magistrates.

It can be said that these people are naturally members of Sun Ce's family from their background.They are all Jiangdong heroes who rose because of Sun Ce's power.

Among the crowded crowd, besides the ornately dressed tyrants, as Sun Ce had already seen, there were no less than a dozen officials in soap suits.

Gui Lan was one of the members in the soap suit, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "In just a few months, Sun Lang's demeanor has already become a bullfight! At the age of a weak crown, he occupies the important position of a general, leads an elite army, is invincible in every battle, Invincible. The heroic spirit can be compared with the champion Hou."

General Kou!Although Sun Ce doesn't like this position, in fact, at the moment, this is indeed a very important general position.

There is no nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the big man, and there is no permanent general.Therefore, the difference between a general who kills bandits and a general with a heavy title lies in the name.So as long as it is named as a general, there is almost no difference in real power.If there were no other generals in the court, but only one general who killed the bandits, then the general who killed the bandits would be the general with the most military power at the moment, and would be responsible for commanding all the main forces of the court to quell the rebellion.

Of course, if the imperial court appoints a general to lead the army, it is usually given the post of heavy general.There is only one reason for the situation where the general of the gangsters is in command of the army.The authority collapsed, so the post of general appeared to be flooded.

But even so, among all the princes, guards, and prime ministers in the world today, there are not many princes who have the post of general.

Those who are equivalent to General Yi Kou are General Zhenwu, Yangzhou Mu Liuyou, General Fenwu, and Wenhou Lubu.

One of these two is the state shepherd of one of the thirteen states in the world, and the other is a famous general in the world who killed Dong Zhuo and made great achievements in the sky.

Therefore, Sun Ce, the general who killed the bandits, was regarded as a high position in the eyes of others anyway, and he was a domineering vassal under the command of the left general Yuan Shu.

This is Yuan Shu's feudal and canonized official position.Approved people are extremely approving of this official position in terms of jurisprudence.

But Sun Ce didn't care about it. Without the right to open a government and build government offices from the imperial court, the position of general was just an embellishment, not much different from the position of school lieutenant. In the end, it was soldiers, horses, money and food that determined power.

Therefore, Sun Ce only smiled slightly and asked, "The day I was named General of the Bandits, I didn't dare to rest in peace. I personally led the three armies and went south to Kuaiji to attack Wang Lang. You are all officials in Danyang. If you are not in Danyang, why did you come to me?" In the Nanzheng army camp?"

Gui Lan immediately said: "We are here to continue to support General Sun in sweeping Jiangdong. To help General Sun conquer, we have donated [-] stones of grain and grass and ten horses to the army for military use."

[-] shi of grain and grass is quite a lot in terms of scale, but it is easy to share it with almost a powerful force.

But at the same time, it is easy for the tyrants to share the food and grass.

To distribute salaries to the chief officials in the north of Danyang, the salaries of ten county magistrates are [-] shi.

And to distribute salaries to hundreds of thousands of chief officials in eight counties, the salary for just one year is more than ten times this!
Therefore, don't think that these tyrants will do any loss-making business!They are fine enough to amaze most future generations.

Sun Ce raised his head, glanced at the tycoons of Danyang County gathered together, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you all for your generosity, dedication will never be forgotten, and all sacrifices will be repaid in victory!"

After listening to Sun Ce's words, everyone in front of them was immediately refreshed. They worked tirelessly, why did they come here?Not just for this sentence!
Gui Lan immediately cheered up, took a step forward and bowed his hands, and said solemnly: "We, the heroes in the north of Danyang, all have the same desire, and we will do our best to help Sun Lang collect food and grass, and calm Jiangdong. In order to facilitate Sun Lang's collection of food, we have sent All household registrations and land registrations in the eight northern counties have been brought to the camp!"

After hearing Gui Lan's words, Sun Ce finally laughed enthusiastically, stood up and walked forward, and said to all the tyrants, "Good! Thanks to the help of all heroes and generous people, why should I worry about my great cause, and Jiangdong why is he uncertain?!"

This is the land registration and household registration!

The most important content of timekeeping in each county, the eight counties in the north of Danyang, is fine if they are not reported to the county government, but these household registrations and land registrations are sent to Sun Ce. What does it mean?
Undoubtedly, it means that they voted with action, and the entire northern part of Danyang reached an agreement to support Sun Ce's actual rule of the local area!

When the tycoons and senior officials had all turned to Sun Ce and took shelter under Sun Ce's wings, the eight counties in the north of Danyang would naturally be completely under Sun Ce's control.

If the officials fail to recognize this reality, they may be expelled or even assassinated by the tyrants at any time!

For a hero like Liu Bei, when he served as Pingyuan Commander, he was underestimated by the tyrannical Liu Ping, and he was ashamed, so he was assassinated.

No official who entered the eight counties in the north of Danyang dared to make an enemy of Sun Ce.Otherwise, he would die in the hands of assassins in minutes.

Generals like Ruo Rong, who were guarded by thousands of troops, were even stabbed to death in the camp.Those ordinary county magistrates are absolutely powerless against the tyrants whose interests are united from top to bottom.

You must know that in the northern part of Danyang, from the county magistrates to the local tycoons, they all support Sun Ce.

In other words, in name, this place is still under the rule of Yuan Yin, the prefect.Sun Ce did not expel him.But his decree, without Sun Ce's nod, cannot be carried out here at all!
Conflict is inevitable.

But what Sun Ce is least afraid of is conflict.

His vassals are domineering, and troops are stationed in various cities to collect food. Isn't it natural for him to have conflicts with the county magistrates of Yuanfu Lord?
Even if Yuan Yin brought his county soldiers to force the northern counties to obey orders, Xu Kun dared to directly lead troops to confront him.

But in the current situation, all the tyrants can see that the Lord of the Yuan Mansion is afraid that he will not dare to conflict with Sun Lang.

Not only because Sun Lang killed decisively and dared to violently kill people.With his position, he was obviously not worried that Sun Lang would kill him.But the state soldiers in Yuzhang County to the west of Danyang are hard to say!
Liu Yao was eyeing him like a tiger, and he might cross the Yangtze River and enter Danyang at any time.Once Liu Yao's army invaded, it would be a matter of course to take the head of the prefect of Danyang.

I'm afraid he has to count on Sun Lang's army to help him defend against Liu Yao and guard Danyang.

At most, it is to send a mail supervisor to inspect the counties.Could it be that this postmaster can snatch the taxes of the eight counties in the north of Danyang County from the hands of Sun Lang's five thousand troops?
Under such circumstances, people of insight can see that it is inevitable that Sun Lang's army will take away the wealth of the eight counties in northern Danyang.It can't be sent to the county government at all.

But there are too many ways to take away the wealth of the eight counties in the north of the county.

The generals and officials under Yuan Shu's command can be like the generals and officials under Yuan Shu's command, plundering and plundering excessively, and extorting miscellaneous taxes, or they can be like under Sun Lang's... There are three chapters!
And all the tyrants, with one heart at this moment, bowed their hands to please, saying: "We are all willing to obey Sun Lang's government order! The fathers and elders in Danyang long for the general's benevolence, just like grass and trees long for rain and dew. Please Sun Lang must read the thoughts of the fathers and elders in Danyang, Push the decree to Danyang county!"

At this moment, see you soon!

Why did the Danyang hero run all the way to the south of Wu County and chase him all the way to Sun Ce's camp?
What kind of old favor do they really think of Sun Ce?
There are too many prefects and generals who have old kindness to Danyang, and none of them have ruled them for much longer than Sun Ce.There are even some people who are more magnanimous than Sun Ce.

But so many prefects came and went, were expelled, and were transferred away, but I didn't see any of these Danyang elders trying to keep them.Not to mention the current scene, supporting the old and the young, Manjunhao begged Sun Cerende to take care of the northern part of Danyang.

And there is only one purpose for all these tyrants to do this, Sun Ce's decree does not establish a land system, but to eliminate violence!
Apparently, compared with the officials and generals under Yuan Shu's command who made money by plundering, Sun Ce's decree was set in their hearts.

In this world, can there be a government order that is more tolerant and generous than Sun Lang?

Obviously, all Danyang tyrants voted with their feet immediately!There are many heroes in this world, and heroes rise together, and Sun Lang is the one who is most in line with their interests.

If they wanted to choose a hero to rule Jiangdong and Danyang, they would choose Sun Lang without hesitation!

Who is Yuan Yin?Why did the heroes of Danyang support his rule?Is it to support him in plundering heroes?Or support him to curb production?I still support him to come and collect the land tax, the mu tax to collect money, the mu tax to collect money to collect the household tax, and the household tax to be collected, and then continue to collect the tax, oral tax, Ding tax, rough draft, military aid money, guide fee , palace donation, official donation, grain donation, horse donation, maidservant donation, land purchase donation, housing donation, etc.?In December of a year, there are tax collectors extorting money every month!

In the past, the prefect was Zhou Fujun, and Sun Lang had no intention of Danyang, so the tyrants could only endure it.

Now that Yuan Yin is replaced, the tyrants will immediately unite and unite to abolish these messy donations.

The tyrants were so resolute that Sun Ce immediately smiled and said, "Yes! I also made an agreement with the fathers and elders in Danyang. As long as the people in Danyang pay the land tax in full, I will do my best to stop the world's violent laws for you! You just go to reclaim wasteland and develop production. Even if there are thousands of miles of fertile fields in the fields, I will take care of it for you, so that you can be safe and worry-free!"

After the voice fell, the whole hall suddenly cheered and cheered.

This is the result they want!You can get out of Wubao and fully develop production, and the government will no longer strictly limit the upper limit of the acres they own!Sun Lang even said bluntly that even if their fields are connected with fields, they are at peace.

How can the tyrants not be eager in their hearts!How can you not support Sun Lang?

After the tyrants left happily, Zhang Hong exclaimed: "Sun Lang is so popular, why worry about the world being injustice? In the north of Danyang County, there is no bloodshed, and he is brought under his command."

This wave belongs to the heroes of Danyang who expelled the county magistrates themselves, and ate pots of milk to welcome Master Sun Ce!
Gao Cheng, the magistrate of Shicheng County who was still in the hall, was excited and said with a big smile, "Now I know what it means, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
Mencius, the sages, is it an empty talk?
Sun Ce said boldly that Danyang was within reach, and it was realized within a few days!

Yuan Shu's shady trick, which was not on the table, not only failed to take effect in the face of the majestic situation, but became Sun Ce's help.

If it hadn't been for his deeds that aroused the anger of the crowd, Sun Ce would not have been so happy to enter Danyang in such a grandiose manner!
