The World of Yellow Sky

"only……"

Xun Yu looked serious and paused for a while, but he didn't talk too much.

Eat Hanlu raw, and die as Hanchen.

He submitted the secret letter after an extremely fierce ideological struggle.

Since ancient times, reformers have always been unable to avoid bloodshed and sacrifice. How can those who have vested interests give up their interests so easily.

Wu Qi's and Shang Yang's reforms did indeed make their country develop and prosper, but their final fate is embarrassing.

The nobles of Chu State attacked and killed Wu Qi at the funeral of King Mourning. Shang Yang was falsely accused of treason by Prince Qian, and he was defeated and died in Tongdi.

Shang Yang legislated and dismembered, Wu Qi carved and carve torn apart.

And the reform he was going to implement this time was even more drastic than Shang Yang and Wu Qi.

But because of the current situation, it is very likely that the implementation will be successful

"There is a lot involved in the reform. Once the reform is announced, it will inevitably be blocked. If the reform is to be successful, if the determination and will are not firm, the reform is doomed to fail."

"Is Your Majesty prepared to face fierce malice, prepared to face the anger of the officials, and prepared to face the panic of the people of the world?"

Xun or stared at Liu Xie, asked three times in a row, extremely solemn.

Liu Xie didn't avoid Xun He's eyes, his eyes were clear and firm, and his expression didn't change at all.

"Wang Ye is not partial..."

"The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we don't change the law and settle down to the south, it's like curing hunger with aconite, quenching thirst with poisonous poison, before it enters the stomach, the throat is cut off, and it's just sitting and waiting to die."

Liu Xie looked directly into Xun Or's eyes, his expression was extremely solemn, and his voice was firm and powerful.

"Wang Ye is not partial..."

Xun Or's eyes flickered, he chewed carefully what Liu Xie said, his back slowly straightened, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Xun Or moved back a little, then bowed his body and touched his head to the ground, his voice was even trembling because of excitement.

"Your Majesty's careful thinking and discernment is really a blessing for all the people, and a blessing for me."

Seeing Xun Or bowing down, Liu Xie left the seat without hesitation, walked up to him, and helped Xun Or up by his arms.

"I also ask Wen Ruogong to teach you about the reform."

Xun Or tried his best to calm his mind. Although he had expected it, he never thought that Liu Xie would make such a determination and see the current situation so clearly.

If the Han court continues to develop like this, it will indeed be tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, sitting and waiting to die, Liu Xie will see everything clearly.

Xun Or subconsciously glanced at Wang Yue who was not far behind Liu Xie. He knew that the present Yulin Guard was the Embroidered Clothes Envoy. Although the current Embroidered Clothes Envoy had not been completely established independently, it was already widely known.

Everyone has also begun to accept the Embroidered Clothes Emissary. After all, the infiltration of the Eagle Wolf Guard is too terrifying. With the Embroidered Cloth Emissary, at least it can restrain the development of the Eagle Wolf Guard. If there is no Embroidered Cloth Messenger, I am afraid it is their secret It is impossible to keep it safe, and it is even a matter of whether one's life can be saved.

The Eagle Guards not only pass on information, but sometimes carry out assassinations as well.

In Nanyang County, Jingzhou, many powerful families have spies from the Eagle Wolf Guard inside, and the reason why several Wubao were breached was because of cooperation between the inside and the outside.

"Although wolves and tigers are evil, they can also be intimidated by martial arts and driven by wisdom."

Xun Or straightened his body, took out the silk book hidden in his bosom, and solemnly presented it to Liu Xie. His eyes were bright like stars.

"Your Majesty, do you know that there are 'newspaper offices' in all counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Pseudo-Ming and issue 'newspapers'?"

Liu Xie nodded. This matter is not a secret. He does know about the newspaper office and the newspaper.

The newspaper offices in Ming Dynasty belonged to the Department of Propaganda and Education, and belonged to the Taoist government. The staff members of the newspaper offices were at least at the level of Enlightenment in Taiping Taoism, and the officials who presided over a newspaper office in a locality had to be at the level of Wendao.

In addition to the great virtuous and good teachers, there are seven levels in Taiping Dao: Enlightenment, Enlightenment, Hearing the Tao, Enlightening the Tao, Obtaining the Tao, Fangzhu, and Great Doctor.

The Embroidered Clothes Envoy has been deployed in the Ming court for many years, and today, only one person has reached the first level of Wendao, which is enough to see the difficulty of his promotion.

The newspapers issued by the Ming court recorded the policies implemented and major events, wars, laws and so on inside and outside the country, and even used to entertain the public.

Because of the investigation of the wolf guards, the embroidered emissaries lurking in the Ming Dynasty had very limited sources of information, and in many cases they could only obtain it through newspapers.

"In the past when the prosperity of the sun was defeated, there were many voices in the country who wanted to join the Taiping Dao, but Xu Anli, the chieftain of the thieves, fainted, and set up a big prison in Hebei with the Eagle and Wolf Guards. The sound disappears."

"The implementation of the reform will definitely touch its interests, and it will definitely encounter backlash."

"but……"

Xun or the conversation changed slightly.

"Xu Anli is stupefied. We can write some articles on it to publicize this matter widely. We can learn from the form of 'newspaper' and copy the false instructions on how to treat powerful families in Hebei in silk books or bamboo slips. Send it and distribute it to officials from all over the world."

"In this way, the backlash must be minimized."

"good!"

Liu Xie also came back to his senses at this time, and said happily.

After filming, Liu Xie also realized his gaffe, he calmed down and smiled.

"There is still room for implementation of such a reform."

Liu Xie felt a little relieved, he was indeed ready to face everything, even prepared to suppress it with force...

Xun Or didn't pay attention to Liu Xie's situation, and he didn't know anything about Liu Xie's thoughts. If he knew what Liu Xie was thinking, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.

Liu Xie is indeed young and energetic, and has a little less experience in governing the government. Simply using force to oppress will undoubtedly cause greater changes.

"Dare to ask Wen Ruogong, how should we reform now to strengthen ourselves?"

How to reform the law, how to strengthen the army, how to enrich the country, these things, Xun Yu had already laid down the draft in his mind before he wrote the letter,

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Rong Chen will report."

Xun Yu made a bow with both hands, respectfully offered a gift, and spoke slowly.

"The hypocrisy is staring at the north, and its heart to annex the world is clearly revealed. The first thing to do is to strengthen the army."

"In recent years, our army has started training according to the Ming army's drill method, and imitated the Ming army's armor and armed soldiers, but we only got the shape, but not the essence and charm."

"And even so, you can clearly see the progress of my generals. Our army's combat power has indeed been greatly improved. Your Majesty once held a military parade outside the city, so he should be aware of this."

Xun or paused, leaving Liu Xie some time to think.

Liu Xie's eyes moved slightly. Xun Gu was right. After starting to use the training methods of the Ming army, he really felt the changes in the generals in the army.

After half a year of training, Chen Du's forbidden army has already seen some elite shadows.

Liu Xie had seen the elite of the army. When Sun Jian led the troops back to Chendu, he personally led the troops into the barracks outside the city to reward his troops.

After Xun or waited for a while, he continued.

"The Ming army is stronger than its gods, and its gods are generals in the army."

"Pseudo-Ming built schools in various places, including military academies, hospitals, and workshops, all of which taught relevant knowledge."

"The reason why the Ming army is strong is that all its lieutenant generals are studying in military academies, but our army's generals have not many people who can learn relevant knowledge."

"so."

Xun Yu bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please order to build a military academy in Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou to strengthen the army."

Chapter 818 Southern Border

Chuping.

The reason for using this year name is that in the first year of Chuping (190), when Sun Jian recovered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's defeat could only be curled up in Guanzhong.

Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou had no time to look east. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who rebelled in Youzhou, were beheaded, and Wuhuan, the three counties, returned to them.

Most of the large and small rebellions in various places were quelled, and the Han Dynasty at that time was in a state of revival.

So a group of courtiers deliberated and set the year name as "Chuping".

It's just that this short period of peace was the last peace. This peace only lasted for less than a few months, and the war in the Central Plains resumed.

The melee in the Central Plains lasted from the end of the first year of Chuping to the sixth year of Chuping, a full six years, and during this six-year period, there was almost no time to stop.

Disputes are endless in the Central Plains, and the lights of thousands of families are gradually fading.

Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Sili, and Yangzhou are all battlefield locations. In six years, thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, and millions of people were displaced and affected by the war.

Until May of the sixth year of Chuping (195), the Han army suddenly launched the Northern Expedition after being defeated in the Battle of Qingzhou.

The final decisive battle between the Han and Wei dynasties kicked off around Fanyang City. Both sides mobilized all their troops and threw all their chips on the gambling table, and a gamble with the world as the bet began.

However, in this gamble, none of the two parties who made the final bet was able to win the final victory.

The final victory is to walk into the casino's peaceful path with a weapon in hand.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Two dogs fight, play off.

The Ming army went out of the customs and ran for thousands of miles. They defeated the two armies of the Han and Wei armies, which were already at the end of their strength, and pacified the entire land of Hebei with a thunderous force.

Both the Han and Wei countries were losers, and the Wei state was destroyed, and all the territories it owned belonged to the Ming army.

No matter how difficult it is for the Han Empire to cheer up now, it has already lost the ability to make another northern expedition, but it is still somewhat defensive.

However, as a fisherman, Ming Ting had acquired a vast territory at once, so it was difficult to digest it in time, so he could only stop and take over slowly.

And precisely because of this, the world has gained rare peace.

Now it is the seventh year of Chuping, the third year of the Ming Dynasty (196), in February, eight months have passed since the Battle of Fanyang.

And during these eight months, not even a war broke out in various places, and even small-scale conflicts did not occur.

The two courts of the Han and Ming Dynasties took the Yellow River as the boundary, and ruled by drawing the river, and lived in peace.

The Han court dispatched troops and generals to continuously strengthen the defense of the city, build the Yellow River defense line, and at the same time organize new troops to guard against possible invasions by the Ming army.

The Ming court's public trial in Hebei made the powerful families in the five prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Han court feel scared. Not long after the year, there was a report from the imperial court, which recorded Hebei in detail. The public trial that took place in the land, and the law in the peace.

Not only must more than [-]% of the land be acquired, but all lakes, woodlands, and mines must be nationalized, and even family wealth cannot be kept too much. If the clan that dares to keep more than [-]% of the money is found out by the Eagle Wolf Guard , will be exiled to the North or the Western Regions.

In the land of Hebei, many powerful families that have been detected have been exiled. They were moved to the north following the first batch of immigrants recruited by the Ming court. It is said that those powerful families who were exiled will be exiled to the most border areas. That is, the northernmost province, the Northern Xinjiang Province bordering the Dingling Department, lived on herding animals in that bitterly cold place.

The mother Ji Zhen family was found out by the Eagle Wolf Guard because of her hidden property, and the whole family was almost exiled to Wubian in the northern border. In the end, they donated a lot of property in the secret storehouse to buy back a life.

And even for those who are called high-ranking officials of the Ming court, their clans handed over all the woodlands and mines, which is only slightly more money and land than ordinary aristocratic families can keep.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions and the three provinces of Northern Xinjiang are excluded from the jurisdiction of the Ming Court.

Youzhou, Liaozhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Zhongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Yizhou, Haidong, the nine major provinces are all implementing new land tax laws.

The new land tax law stipulates that:

Those with more land pay more, those with little land pay less, and those without land don’t pay.

Divide all farmland into three grades according to the degree of fertility of the land. Upper fields are more expropriated, middle fields are expropriated as usual, and lower fields are less expropriated.

The fertility level of the field is determined by the Eagle Wolf Guard, the Ministry of Households, and the provincial government.

Those who dare to maliciously deceive the land, corrupt the law and violate the law will be punished. The crime is serious, and even the family and the clan.

The new land tax law has little impact on ordinary villagers, and those who rent land from the country and villagers pay taxes normally.

The real influence is those powerful families who still have a lot of land even after handing over the land. In fact, this is only targeted at the powerful families in Jizhou.

After Yizhou's original powerful family chose to join, they also got on the express train of the Silk Road like Liangzhou's powerful family. Although they also owned some fields, this was not their main output.

Moreover, with the implementation of military settlements, the increase of garrisons, and Xu An's policy of differentiation, the remaining powerful families in Yizhou are gradually losing control of the Nanman tribe.

Without the military support of the southern barbarian tribes, the powerful families in Yizhou no longer have a strong control over the five southern counties.

Since Zhang Yan took charge of Yizhou, he has been stabilizing the balance between Dongzhou people and Yizhou people, and at the same time promoting the Taiping Road and farming affairs.

Nowadays, all parts of Yizhou are dominated by farmland, especially in the five counties in the south, more than [-]% of them are mainly in the form of military villages, and the chief officials of the villages are all from the old Taiping Road.

After the control power rose, Zhang Yan began to carry out the order issued by Xu An earlier.

In order to ensure the stability of southern Xinjiang and the implementation of the decree, Zhang Yan ordered Bian Xi to lead Yizhou's [-] soldiers and sit in the county town of Yongchang County to preside over the exchanges with the southern barbarian tribes and the implementation of the decree.

Later, Zhang Yan moved tens of thousands of soldiers, Qingqiang, and tribal people from Nanzhong to the hinterland of Yizhou, and divided them into five divisions, named "Flying Army".

The promulgation of this decree is simply a draw from the bottom of the pot. It not only weakens the power of the Yizhou powerful family that can be used for rebellion, but also turns it into their own help and strengthens their own strength.

As soon as the decree was promulgated, there were naturally obstacles. Several Nanman tribes and some local Yizhou aristocratic families joined forces to resist the decree.

Since Zhang Yan wanted to push the executive order, it would obviously affect the influence of the powerful local families in Yizhou County, so how could he be unprepared.
