The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An frowned, Jia Xu's words woke him up.

Jingzhou is located in the south and far away from the Central Plains, and because of its unique geographical environment, the clan power is extremely strong and the clan is deeply rooted.

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, and it only took an extreme time to seize the southern county and state that Sun Jian controlled at the beginning, and took control of the power of Jingzhou, precisely because of the power of Jingzhou's aristocratic family.

But because of this, the Jingzhou aristocratic family is too big to lose, and it is difficult to control all the rights. Being constrained by the Jingzhou aristocratic family, many things cannot be done.

Although these aristocratic families in Jingzhou would never dare to make any resistance under high pressure, but the implementation of the policy, it can be expected that there will be a lot of resistance in the future.

These aristocratic families who have been rooted in the place for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, must not be preserved, at least, they cannot be kept in their original place.

During the Western Han Dynasty, those rich and powerful households would be harvested every once in a while, and the country would forcibly relocate them, just to prevent the local power from becoming overwhelmed.

But such a system was not implemented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty largely because of the help of powerful families, and because of this, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not inherit such a system, and because of this, the power of the powerful families in the Eastern Han Dynasty was so powerful huge.

Now all the consequences and influences of this will be borne by Ming Ting, who has taken over the Han Ting Jiangshan Sheji.

Xu An is not Liu Xiu, and Ming Ting is not Han Ting.

Liu Xiu started his career by relying on a powerful family, and the reason why Xu An was able to conquer such a huge territory and establish a country is because he relied on the swords and guns in his hands and relied on the most ordinary people in the world.

"Jingzhou focuses on maintaining stability first, and the navy is on the list. These people will not be moved for the time being. After the construction of the four southern ports, they will be transferred to the south and divided into various armies as supplementary troops for the South China Sea Fleet."

Xu An thought for a moment, and he had a plan in mind.

Although he can completely overwhelm others with power now, it will definitely cause some turmoil.

If you want to mobilize a powerful family and maintain stability at the same time, you should take it slowly and cut off the wings of the powerful family first.

"The intensity of the public trial should be increased. Now is not the time to defeat Wei Ting."

"The world is set, and manpower is needed to open up southern borders. Since these powerful families have enjoyed the glory and wealth for thousands of years and hundreds of years, and they choose to resist, then they should make some contributions to the country to make up for the advantages they have taken. .”

"promise."

Jia Xu's heart moved slightly, and her body felt a little chilly.

Xu An's words have already decided the fate of the powerful families in the five prefectures of Han and the two prefectures of Xu and Qing.

Use government orders to relocate and recruit first to cut off the wings, and then win the hearts of the people with public trials to dig out its roots.

Everything that the aristocratic family can rely on is not enough under the current court.

Comparing the two with each other is like a child and an adult, there is such a huge difference that there is no chance of winning.

only……

Xu An used force against these rebellious families in the five states of Han, so how should they deal with it in the future.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the Jia family is also an aristocratic family.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks.

Although Yan Zhong said that Xu An would never act like this, but people's hearts are far away, and on top of Jiangshan Sheji, I'm afraid...

Jia Xu's expression only changed slightly before recovering. He has always been good at controlling his emotions and expressions, but Xu An's undisguised killing intent still made him tremble involuntarily.

It is not a lie to accompany a king like a tiger.

Even if the "lord" Xu An didn't do anything violent, it still makes people feel scared.

Such is the effect of having a knife in hand.

The change in Jia Xu's expression was still noticed by Xu An keenly.

People are selfish, and even the most impartial and selfless people will have them.

Xu An naturally has it too, he can understand Jia Xu's thoughts.

Normal people hope that they and their offspring can live a stable, comfortable and comfortable life.

Once you have authority, you will not want to lose it.

Once you have wealth, you will not want to lose it.

"Don't worry, as long as you abide by the law, nothing you worry about will happen."

Xu An didn't directly break Jia Xu's inner thoughts, but he made a promise.

Now the Ming Court does not have a powerful family, the two largest and most powerful families are the Yan family and the Wang family, one is Yan Zhong's clan, and the other is his wife's family.

Both of these two families are under control, and all powerful families are under the surveillance of Eagle Wolf Guard.

There is a red line in Xu An's heart, and this red line cannot be crossed by any aristocratic family.

The power of the aristocratic family must never override the country, nor can it be so powerful as to influence the country's policy.

Xu An sat up straight and looked towards the door of the hall, so this topic was skipped. To get rid of the disease of the aristocratic and powerful family, it will not be accomplished overnight.

"It's time, let those who are waiting come in."

Jia Xu made a promise, stood up, and walked out of the hall.

Soon after the report sounded, Jia Xu had already led a group of generals into the hall.

Everyone sat down one after another, and with the sound of a bell, there was no sound in the house, and the meeting officially started.

Xu An looked around the crowd, stood up slowly, clenched his fists in his chest, and stood at attention to salute.

All the generals stood up abruptly, stood at attention and saluted at the same time. Everyone's movements were almost uniform, as if one person was doing the movements.

Xu An saluted again and sat down, and then everyone sat down again. This is the etiquette before the military meeting.

In a sense, the current Ming Dynasty is actually a military country, and everything ultimately serves and develops the army, and most of the power is in the hands of military officers.

Xu An is not prepared to change this status quo now. In this era, countries that do not practice martial arts are doomed to become the fish of others.

Jia Xu stood up, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read out the prepared order.

This order is exactly the deployment order to take over the five prefectures of Han, how the ministries should march and take over the five prefectures of Han.

Next, the five states in Han will enter the era of comprehensive military control.

Chapter 9 and Five

It depends on the spread of the five states in the Han Dynasty, but Chen Du fell into a strange silence.

However, Xu An didn't take this seriously. The main force of the Han army had been lost, and the five prefectures were all in ambush. No matter what, a mere Chendu could not stir up any troubles. The defenders with less than 3000 men were no threat.

The reason why he stayed in Suiyang City in Liang State was only because of his usual prudence.

Although Yanzhou and other states and counties surrendered, he was unwilling to go deep alone, as there was a risk of being surrounded and suffering losses.

So Xu An chose to temporarily station in Suiyang City, and waited until Xu Rong took over the entire Yanzhou and reconciled with Xu Rong before leading the army to continue marching towards Chendu.

More than [-] Yanzhou troops were disarmed and temporarily put into prisoner-of-war camps.

Naturally, Xu An would not let him do nothing and feed them with food for nothing, but let him do some measures to demolish the city defenses and repair the roads.

After completing this part of the work, after the arrival of Ming court officials, they still need to undertake the task of repairing wells and building water conservancy projects and other public foundations in various places.

To make the country rich and the people strong, the first thing is infrastructure.

Naturally, so many generals of the Han army cannot be easily released back to their hometowns. They have all received systematic militarized training.

You must know that in this era, in order to snatch the water source of irrigation and some matters related to livelihood, large-scale fighting will even break out between two settlements, or clans in Ting Township.

The number of people fighting with weapons ranges from dozens to hundreds, and sometimes there are more than a thousand people fighting with weapons.

Ordinary civilian fighting can be controlled, and the casualties are not serious, but if those soldiers are allowed to return to their hometowns, it may cause quite a disturbance.

Xu An plans to wait until the public trial is over and the police stations in various places are established before releasing these soldiers into the village.

The first step of comprehensive military control is to garrison troops to control major cities, and the second step is to set up police to maintain law and order and ensure social stability.

There are too many village kiosks and gathering places, even if garrisoning ten soldiers in each place is an unaffordable scale.

Therefore, the third step of the plan is to form a patrol team after the military and police take full control of the city, and use one patrol team to gather in the township pavilions and settlements.

Xu An, the patrol team, is going to use the name of the inspection department set up by later dynasties, but of course the powers are somewhat different.

The inspection department belongs to the police system, and they are also a member of the police, which is equivalent to patrol officers.

After meeting Xu Rong, Xu An didn't delay any longer. He had been delayed for so long along the way, and it was time for him to take control of Chen Du, so as to end the hearts of those who still had the last trace of fantasy in their hearts.

Chendu is only two hundred miles away from Suiyang, and the capital is located in the flat North China Plain. If a fast horse rushes forward, troops can come to the city of Chendu in one day and one night.

The battle was over, so there was no need to march in a hurry, but it was a normal march. The infantry of the Ming army marched sixty miles a day. In just four days, Xu An had already seen the outer city wall of Chen Du.

The outer city of Chendu is not as majestic as Xu An imagined, no matter it is compared to Suiyang City or Pengcheng, the city wall of Chendu is more than a little bit lower than that.

If it wasn't for the vanguard's cavalry scouting report to be correct, and the map was clearly depicted, Xu An would have thought he was on the wrong path.

Walking under the city, Xu An felt incredible. As the capital of a country, it should be the first in the country in terms of city walls and various specifications.

The Chang'an City built by Yan Zhong has a perimeter of more than eighty miles, and the minimum height of the city wall is more than six meters, and many places exceed ten meters. A little height was added to balance the inner and outer city.

But because of this, Chang'an City is still under construction, and most of the city walls have not been completed. The main thing is to build the city in the city first, and a lot of money has been swayed.

Although it was a waste of money, it did not labor the people. After all, the construction of Chang'an City completely recruited the free people to pay wages, not to collect free corvees.

The money in the treasury does not need to go out, and the currency cannot be circulated.

Only when currency is in circulation can it have value and make all walks of life in the country flourish.

When Xiao He first established the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, Xu An deeply believed in what he said that there is no grandeur but no prestige.

Xu An's plan is to turn Chang'an City into the world's largest center of industry, commerce, politics, and culture.

Workshops from all over the country, including military factories, have basically begun to relocate into Chang'an City.

With the promotion and planting of cotton, the textile industry is now gradually developing.

This was true of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty, Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not the case in Chendu.

In this era, the magnificent construction of the capital will have an extremely far-reaching impact.

Sometimes the power of culture is far more powerful than weapons.

At the beginning, the Shanggu Wuhuan tribe had hundreds of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people in the tribe, but Nanlou was willing to bow his head and become a minister, because he admired the culture of the Han Dynasty, and he stayed in Taiyuan all year round.

After the Ming army captured Chang'an, Nanlou directly settled down in Chang'an City, and the Wuhuan tribe of Shanggu broke away from the tribal form and was gradually naturalized by Taipingdao.

The city wall of the outer city of Chendu is at least half lower than that of Pengcheng. The only thing that is better than Pengcheng is that it occupies a larger area.

……

Chen Du, Situ Mansion.

On the pavilion, Wang Yun was wearing a white robe and a white scarf, with a gloomy expression.

The whole of Chendu was like him, all wearing white scarves and white clothes.

The death of the emperor is the mourning of the country, and the world is gone.

Outside the city are countless ochre-yellow banners, which are the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army.

His expression was gray and defeated, exuding a dead air from beginning to end.

When he saw the cavalry of the Ming army outside the city, he felt no luck anymore.

He knew that the 400-year-old man died...

Wang Yun's thin body shook slightly, and he almost lost his balance and fell down. Fortunately, an old servant beside him supported his body, which stabilized him.

……

The vanguard's cavalry took over Chen Du without much resistance. As soon as they arrived in Chen Du, the defenders of Chen Du opened the city gate and surrendered their weapons.

Only the palace city of Chendu has not opened the palace gate, and is still closed.

Approaching Chen Du, Xu Anyuan's Eagle Wolf Guard wearing this red eagle uniform stood beside Xu Huang.

When Xu An walked to the gate of the city, the eagle wolf guard in the red eagle uniform was about to kneel, but seemed to remember something, and raised his hand in a substandard military salute.

"Eagle Guard is stationed in the Qianhu Intelligence Department in Chendu, and Li Cheng of Qianhu is meeting Daojun!"

Xu An's eyes brightened slightly, he clenched his fists in his chest, and saluted.

He knew who Li Cheng was. Although he had never met him before, his name, Xu An, was still fresh in his memory.

It was this person who sent the news from the Eagle Wolf Guards when they marched west to Xianbei, allowing them to pinpoint the location of the Xianbei royal court in the west.

Then Li Cheng was ordered to sneak into Guanzhong again, and he signed the order himself.

"How is the situation in Chen Du?"
