Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 76

Spring of the second year of Yuanshou

February
Weiyang Palace

boom!
A wine deity fell on Wang Changzhi's forehead, causing his head to bleed, but he didn't dare to cry out, but still knelt on the ground and endured it silently.

"Wang Changzhi! I originally planned to let you be the second Wei Qing of the big man, but what did you tell me that you want to resign and return to your hometown?"

Emperor Liu Che was very angry. Originally, he was very happy, because last year the Huainan King's rebellion was put down, and the Huainan Kingdom was changed to Jiujiang County. The Chang'an court had a large area directly under its jurisdiction, which was still a rich place like Huainan.

However, he had happily planned to continue rewarding Wang Changzhi, but the other party told him that he saw the common people eating each other when he went to Huainan, so he felt guilty and contracted a heart disease. He didn't want to fight any more and wanted to resign and go home.

"Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know? Ah? You bastard!" The emperor kicked Wang Changzhi on the back, kicking Wang Changzhi to the ground, and angrily reprimanded him like iron and steel: "You Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’re just afraid that I’ll kill you, aren’t you?!”

"Could it be that in your heart, I was such a mean and ungrateful emperor?"

"Get out! Go back to your Liaodong immediately, never come to Chang'an, let me see you again, I will kill you!"

A general second only to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and more powerful than Li Guang, refused to continue to fight for him. Emperor Liu Che was both disappointed and angry.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, take your leave." Wang Changzhi's forehead was bleeding, but he didn't dare to complain at all. Although he was only in his 30s, he was already a chariot general of a big man, and he was also named Marquis of Liaodong. Thousands of five hundred households.

There are [-] households in Shiyi, that is, these [-] households of self-cultivating farmers will directly pay the poll tax to Wang Changzhi from now on, instead of handing it over to the court.

On average, there are three to five self-cultivating farmers per household, so five or six thousand people became Wang Changzhi's taxpayers.

Moreover, since Wang Changzhi was born in Dashi County, all of these 2 households are people from Dashi County. If the entire Dashi County does not count the more than 1 people concealed by the Liaodong Wang family, it is actually only more than [-] people.

Today, almost half of the people in the county are taxpayers of Wang Changzhi.

What's more, Li Xi and Zhang Cigong, who joined the army with Wang Changzhi, also won the food town of Dashi County. They each have [-] households, and the total number is [-].

Adding the food towns of the two of them, more than half of the population of Dashi County are taxpayers of the Wang family.

While the emperor destroyed the old tyrants by means of ransacking their homes, he also used military exploits to create new ones who were loyal to the emperor himself. The new tyrants who are loyal to the emperor himself, such a repeated cycle, can be regarded as forming an alternative channel for class advancement.

"Wait, come back!"

Just as Wang Changzhi exited the palace respectfully, the emperor stopped him again.

"Don't you have a cousin who joined the army? What's his name, Chang Wang?"

"Wang Changyu, courtesy name Huanyi, was originally a Sima in the army. He was promoted to lieutenant because of his military achievements in the Huainan War." Wang Changzhi answered truthfully.

"Hmph! Call him here. I want to test his military talent. You can get out." The more the emperor looked at Wang Changzhi, the more he felt distressed. Such a general was about to resign and go home when he was only in his 30s. He doesn't want to forcibly stop him. He really loves talents. For mediocre people without talent and learning, he can kill a person without blinking his eyes. But for scholars with real talents, he will not be stingy with rewards.

"Promise!" Wang Changzhi withdrew from the palace respectfully, and reminded the emperor before leaving: "Although my cousin Chang Yu is well-versed in military literature, he can only talk about wars on paper and doesn't know how to be flexible. Your Majesty cannot reuse him."

He only hoped that his cousin could be an ordinary school lieutenant in the army, so that when other members of the family go to the army in the future, they can also ask Wang Changyu for help, but he must not be reused by the emperor. After all, he knows that his cousin Wang Changyu is not If you are really talented and learned, you can only be fierce and fierce. It is okay to be a vanguard officer who charges into the battle, but it is absolutely impossible to be a general and commander.

"Do you think I can't tell the difference between talent and mediocrity? Get lost!"

"promise!"

……

"The chariot general Wang You'an attacked Huainan, but he couldn't bear to slaughter the city, and severely punished the soldiers who wanted to slaughter the city. It is difficult for even a big man to find ten generals who are so benevolent and loving for the people."

"Now, I heard that General Cheqi suffered from heart disease because he witnessed the tragic situation of people eating each other in Shouchun City. Such a compassionate heart, even the saints of Confucius and Mencius are no more than this."

"General Cheqi would rather resign than be rich and rich, and he can't bear to continue fighting. Oh my god, another saint has come to the world for my big man."

"I must record the benevolence and righteousness of the chariot general Wang You'an in the history books, so that future generations can learn from them."

Taishi Ling Sima Tan kept sighing, and wrote Wang Youan's deeds into "Taishi Gongshu (Historical Records)", and told Sima Qian who was on the side: "After your father dies, you must continue to write this book. The duty of a historian is to record the real history in words, pass it down from generation to generation, and pay tribute to future generations."

"My child understands." Sima Qian's family is a family of historians, who have recorded history for the court for generations.

After all, Sima Qian saw his father biography the chariot general Wang Changzhi alone.

"Biography of Wang Changzhi"

"Wang Changzhi, courtesy name You'an, his ancestor was Wang Kang. Wang Kang was a knight-errant of the Ta family in Liaodong. When his ancestor was attached to the Han Dynasty, his father, Wang Tairan, was a nobleman of the Ta family. It is known far and near that he loves the people.

Chang Zhixian, who knows how to fight, is promoted in Liaodong.At the beginning, he was a doorman, good at riding and shooting, but lost to Wei Qing.And when Fujian and Yue rebelled, the emperor sent Wang Hui and Li Xi to conquer it, and Changzhi led the team called Feihu.The soldiers were anxious, Changzhi used the law of war to admonish the soldiers, attacked Yu Shan, the commander of Fujian and Yue, beheaded his generals, chased them, and then defeated the enemy.

……

Reported the rebellion in Huainan, the emperor sent the public to conquer it, the public surrounded July and broke Shouchun, the soldiers wanted to plunder the city, the public could not bear to slaughter, and beheaded the soldiers in anger.Seeing the people eating each other, the public cried and returned to the teacher, and suffered from heart disease, so he returned to the official position. "

This biography records Wang Changzhi's riding and archery competition with Wei Qing from the period of Qi Menlang, the Imperial Guard of Shanglinyuan, to the Battle of Fujian and Vietnam, the Battle of Longcheng, the Battle of Hetao, the Battle of Shuofang, the Battle of Monan, and the Battle of Huainan. The eight major events of war, resignation and return home.

Since Wang Changzhi is not dead yet, this biography is not yet finished. If Wang Changzhi has new deeds in the future, Sima Qian and his son will naturally continue to add them later.

After reading this biography, Sima Qian and his son were very satisfied, but if Wang Changzhi, the person involved, were to come and see it in person, he would just scoff.

Because there are too many mistakes in it.

First of all, his ancestor Wang Kang was not a ranger, but a bandit leader in the Central Plains. After being beaten away by Zhang Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he fled to Tashi County in Liaodong and became a slave owner, enslaving the local aborigines and refugees from the Central Plains. Turn them into serfs.

Secondly, this biography omits his grandfather Wang Liang, but apart from the Wang family, outsiders do not know Wang Liang who died in the mountains and forests, so it is normal to omit it.

Finally, his father is not Wang Tairan, Wang Tairan is his uncle, and Wang Taihao is his father, but few people in the Central Plains have seen Wang Taihao, so they mistakenly think that Wang Tairan, the current head of the Wang family, belongs to Wang Changzhi Father, even Sima Qian and his son had such misunderstandings, so such mistakes appeared in the biographies.

In addition, he was not recommended to the imperial court by the Liaodong County Mansion because of his virtuous ability and filial piety, but because the Wang family gave a lot of money to the Liaodong County Governor at that time.

Moreover, he didn't slaughter the city because he couldn't bear it. As for seeing people cannibalizing and suffering from heart disease and crying for the dead people, that's even more nonsense.

However, although this biography is full of mistakes, if Wang Changzhi read it himself, even if he would sneer in his heart, he would approve it in his mouth. After all, it would make him famous forever.
