"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" In Jiangxia's front line, the commander of the Jiangdong Army, the lord, Sun Ce, the owner of Jiangdong, roared. Sun Ce was furious, because he received a piece of news from various counties in Jiangdong, that is, those foolish people in Jiangdong are absconding everywhere, and they have given up their original land. Abandoning his original homeland, he fled towards the other side of the river, in order to run to the other side under the rule of Lu Bujun, to obtain the order from King Liu Mang of Shu to recruit the people. The so-called three-tier taxation.
Could Sun Ce not be furious! Only with the people can we cultivate the land, and only with the land can we get taxes, and with the taxes, we can recruit troops and conquer the world. If those people all fled to Lujiang under the rule of Lu Bu’s army, what would happen to Sun Ce’s own fields! And if you want to say who Sun Ce's enemies are in this world, the first is Huang Zu and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and the second is Lu Bu and Liu Mang in Lujiang. The former killed Sun Ce's father, and the hatred of killing his father is unshakable. Over the years, Sun Ce has persevered in attacking Jingzhou, while Liu Biao and Huang Zu of Jingzhou also defended desperately in order to save their lives.
The latter, Liu Mang and Lu Bu, were the only ones who embarrassed Sun Ce so much. Lu Bu didn't say anything, and directly sent his army eastward to capture Sun Ce's Lujiang River, causing Sun Ce to lose the entire Lujiang County, and even his new wife, Da Qiao. In Wancheng! As for Liu Mang, in the battle of defending the city of Wan, Sun Ce lost all face. The 100,000 army failed to take down the Wan city guarded by the enemy's 10,000 troops. In the end, the 100,000 army returned with 5,000 men. This kind of ending has always been unacceptable to Sun Ce. Who is he, Sun Ce? After breaking away from Yuan Shu, the little overlord of Jiangdong entered Jiangdong, just like a tiger returning to the mountain and a dragon entering the sea. How many people are there in Jiangdong? There were less than 3,000 people, but they defeated Wang Lang, Yan Baihu, who had tens of thousands of years of troops, and even Liu Yao, who occupied less than half of Jiangdong and Yangzhou, was defeated and killed. The domineering Jingzhou navy on the Yangtze River took a good lesson to tell him who is the father. It can be said that Sun Ce is a brilliant man. It is a legend that he can have the foundation of Jiangdong Wuyue at the age of 20 !
But this legend was shattered by life and death. Sun Ce's defeat really made the whole world dumbfounded, because Sun Ce has always been a victorious general. Although Wancheng is an important town, it is difficult to defend him But it is His Royal Highness the King of Shu who has only commanded troops for a few months and only knows how to use words. Moreover, this King of Shu has less than ten thousand people, ten times as many as the enemy. Normally speaking, this should be a stable victory, but he, Sun Ce But lost! Only 5,000 of the 100,000 troops went back, and the generals Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi all died in battle. Although Sun Ce didn't say anything, who would know the aggrieved heart! Moreover, Lujiang is an important place for the Jiangdong army to enter the Central Plains. If you want to fight for world hegemony, you must take Lujiang. It can be said that after Sun Ce took down Liu Biao in Jingzhou, his next focus was the Lu Bu army in Lujiang. .
Although Lu Bu's army is strong, its foundation is weak and its population is sparse. This is the fatal injury of Lu Bu's army. There are more than a hundred thousand people in Lujiang, how can it be compared with the millions of people in the entire Jiangdong? Even a pile of human heads can kill Lu Bu .
But now the damn king of Shu actually issued such a call-up order in Shouchun, rewarding one person with two acres of fertile land and paying 30% of the tax. Liu Mang is crazy! Still pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, what Sun Ce believes is that this is all a cover to attract those foolish people to Shouchunqu and under the rule of Lu Bu Liu Mang.
"Issuing an order for me to ask the prefects and county lieutenants of all counties to comprehensively strengthen the border inspection system. I will not let one of the people under my rule go to Lu Bu's rule and find that there are absconders to be killed without mercy!" Sun Ce really is He's on fire, he's going to use violent means, he's going to use bloody means to tell those ignorant people, either farm me obediently and pay taxes, or send me to hell!
"Bo Fu!" Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Sun Ce. For some reason, Sun Ce always had such an impulsive and irrational attitude when facing Lu Bu and Liu Mang in Lujiang, which made Zhou Yu I really don't like it because once people lose their minds and their minds are manipulated by emotions, there may be a series of mistakes, which is unbearable for Zhou Yu, who has always been a perfectionist.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are best friends. It can be said that they grew up wearing a pair of trousers. After Sun Jian died, the Sun family should have declined. Many old family friends disappeared without a trace, but Zhou Yu was the only one who did not hesitate. He comforted Sun Ce beside Sun Ce and helped Sun Ce. Without Zhou Yu, Sun Ce would be nothing more than a cavalry captain under Yuan Shu's army. I am afraid that he may follow Yuan Shu and become a dead bone in the grave now.
It was Zhou Yu who drove to Sun Ce, and it was Zhou Yu who helped Sun Ce recruit soldiers and horses, and helped him make suggestions. It can be said that without Zhou Yu, there would be no foundation in Jiangdong! Except for discussing matters in the army, the two of them were called brothers at other times. Now that Sun Ce was once again in a state of confusion, it was necessary for the brother Zhou Yu to wake up Sun Ce.
"Bo Fu, you have to know that it is impossible to block everyone just by blocking!" Zhou Yu stepped forward and said to Sun Ce, he wanted to calm Sun Ce from his anger, so that he could come up with a plan and deal with Liu Reckless omen plan.
"I don't care!" Sun Ce's eyes were red, "I will never allow my people to farm for Liu Mang!" Sun Ce was so angry that he didn't even care about the rebellion in his words. What are his people called Sun Ce? The Shi is exhausted, but at the very least, everyone still shows a kind of respect for the Han Dynasty. You can look down on the Han Dynasty, and you don’t have to listen to his orders, but you must abide by some rules and regulations. People of the world They all belong to the big man, and Yuan Shu who didn't abide by this rule has become a ghost.
"Then you go kill it!" Zhou Yu was also a little angry. This is not the first time for Sun Ce. Since the last time Wancheng was destroyed, Sun Ce seemed to have lost his mind and directly took half of the main force to withdraw from Jiangxia to find him. The troubles of Lu Bujun in Wancheng, at that time, Jiang Xia's army had been suppressed and beaten. As long as he persisted, Jiang Xia would be at his fingertips. At that time, Chen Bing Chibi could completely block Jingzhou Liu Biao in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
But Zhou Yu didn't do this, because Sun Ce's wife, Da Qiao, died. Zhou Yu knew that if Sun Ce's temper was not resolved, the depression in Sun Ce's heart might continue forever. If you can't protect it, what's the use of this country!
Zhou Yu shouldn't stop Zhou Yu under the circumstances, so Sun Ce went with 30,000 main force and 70,000 ordinary soldiers, but in the end only 5,000 people returned to Jiangdong. Such a big defeat, if Most people turned pale with fright and withdrew their troops from Jiangxia, but Zhou Yu didn't. He resolutely stood on top of Jiangxia, relying on the remaining 30,000 horses and the enemy's 70,000 troops to deal with them.
"I want to see how many you can kill!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce angrily, and the words in his mouth became disrespectful, kill? Killing is always the worst order. The sage has said it long ago. People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? In the war with Jingzhou every year, a Lv Bu army is now added. Jiangdong's war potential has been brought to the extreme. Now we need the strong support of those gentry. For example, the bed crossbows on these warships were built by those gentry. of.
What the militarism brought about is that the people under the rule are wandering on the line of food and clothing, because after the bed crossbow and the battle with Wancheng, Jiangdong's already unsustainable finances have become even more difficult, and many people who are on the line of food and clothing can't afford to eat. It's not warm enough to wear clothes. Instead of staying and starving to death, it's better to go to Shouchun and fight hard.
It is impossible to kill them all. The entire Jiangdong River bank is so long, and the counties and counties are so large. How can it be possible to completely stop the smuggling of those people by relying on the troops left behind? And you don’t know how many Whether people will escape, or just think about it in their hearts, this kind of screening work is really too big.
"If there is one, I will kill one, and if there are two, I will kill a pair!" Sun Ce roared. "If one person escapes, I will kill the whole family! If one family escapes, the whole family will be implicated!" Sun Ce even came up with the Lianzao system. This system has appeared since the Warring States period, and Shang Yang, a legalist, has evolved it to the extreme!
Wei Yang (that is, Shang Yang) reformed in Qin State. In order to consolidate the monarchy, he promulgated the law of reunion. This is done on the basis of household registration. Wei Yang's school of legalists believes that in order for the monarchy to achieve "supreme governance", it must be so that "husband and wife can't make friends and abandon each other's evil and cover up wrongs, and they can't harm their relatives, and the people can't hide from each other." That is to say, the closest couples and friends cannot cover up each other, but must report to the government, so that no "evil" or "wrong" can be concealed. Only in this way, "Those who are difficult to hide, even if they are not wrong" ("Shang Junshu? Forbidden Envoys"). The purpose of implementing the Lianzuo law is to make the people guarantee each other, monitor each other, and expose each other. If one person is guilty, five people will sit together. Even Zhi will have no way to do evil. The "Qin Law" mentioned the organization of "Wu" many times, for example: "What are the four neighbors? The four neighbors are the Wu people who are called 殹 (also)." Anyone below the doctor, who "becomes a Wu and a person", should be incorporated into the "Wu". "The household registration, one person commits a crime, "should be five people
Shang Yang's reform was very successful and made Qin State instantly stronger at that time, but you have to know that Shang Yang's reform had a premise, he only targeted criminals, and the Qin Dynasty was really troubled by internal and external difficulties at that time. It was too late, so the medicine was given, and what about Sun Ce's Jiangdong! It hasn’t reached the point where it’s out of control, but once the method of sitting together is implemented, it’s really waiting for Jiangdong to be in chaos. Once someone escapes the Yangtze River to win Lujiang Lu Bu’s command, then that family, that clan will not be killed by Sun Ce. If they are killed, they can only flee to the other side of the Yangtze River with them, otherwise they will be left with death, which is completely forcing people to die.
But this situation is still good, Jiangdong is located in Shanyue, and because of staying with Shanyue for a long time, the people in Jiangdong have become a little bit aggressive, the most typical one is Danyang County, everyone is rebellious Tame them, Sun Ce pushed them into a hurry. What they thought of was not to run away, but to jump out and rebel. Withdrew his troops from Jiangxia, and in the end Sun Ce might not get a big defeat and returned.
"Then what do you say!" Sun Ce was also stimulated by Zhou Yu's words. If more people go there without paying attention, the people will definitely disappear slowly.
Zhou Yu was also a little embarrassed, what method should be used to stop it? To reduce taxes? This is impossible, the taxes of the Jiangdong Army have already been calculated, once the tax is reduced, then the food and grass salaries of the Jiangdong Army will become a problem, how can the soldiers go to war if they can't eat enough!
Even if the tax is reduced, it is impossible to reduce it to the third level of Liu Mangjun's.
At this moment when both of them were silent, a personal guard came in, "I tell my lord, the second son of Jianye city sent someone to deliver a letter!" He said with a half-bowed body and handed the letter to the front.
"Second brother!" Sun Ce was annoyed. Didn't his second brother study with Zhang Zhao in Jianye? Why did he send the letter? It's a letter from home! Now Sun Ce doesn't have the time to pay attention to "put it there!" Sun Ce waved his hand and wanted to let the guard go down, but the guard still didn't leave.
"Is there anything else!" Sun Ce showed impatience on his face, and he was irritated.
"My lord, the person who sent the letter to the second son said that there are important matters to be discussed in the letter, so I hope the lord will read this letter immediately!" The guard said with his head down.
"Huh?!" What happened? Sun Ce became more and more irritated. He was the second younger brother's family in Jianye who was in charge of the family affairs. Usually, the letters were nothing more than the family situation. If there was a big matter to discuss, it would mean that something big happened in the family? what's the situation? Sun Ce's heart couldn't help tightening, because he lost his father since he was a child, so the relationship between the brothers and sisters in the family is still very deep, his elder brother is like a father.
Sun Ce hurriedly opened the envelope, and looking at the contents, the expression on Sun Ce's face changed from worry at first to frowning, and then a frown and even dissatisfaction, but finally a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, right! Just smile.
What can make Bofu laugh at this time! Zhou Yu was a little puzzled. Just now, Sun Ce was so angry that he was about to stab someone with a knife, but now the expression on his face has changed.
"Hahahaha!" Sun Ce laughed suddenly. That kind of laughter revealed a kind of happiness and a kind of comfort. Zhou Yu had seen it before. There was a man named Tai Shici under his command, who was extremely brave, and Liu Yao had more soldiers and horses than Sun Ce at that time, but Tai Shici beat Sun Ce's army so hard that he couldn't hold his head up. But because of an opportunity and a trick, Liu Yao got rid of Tai Shici by himself and broke his left arm and right arm. At that time, Sun Ce was smiling like this! (To be continued.)
