Volume 1 Immediately Horizontal Gun Chapter 9 The Wind and the Clouds Section 3

The next day, a small yellow gate came from the North Palace in Luoyang and asked Xu Rong, Zhang Yan, Zhao Qi, Zhang Baiqi and Ding Yuan to receive the order together. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

Zhang Yan, Zhao Qi, Zhang Baiqi and Ding Yuan hurried to the Longshan camp. Xiao Huangmen saw that the five adults had gathered, and hurriedly announced the decree.

The Son of Heaven moved Zhao Qi, the captain of the guard, as the general of the guard, and Zhang Baiqi, the captain of the Diannong, as the general of the Diannong.

The Son of Heaven agreed to Xu Rong's request and moved the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army and the 50,000 Tuntian soldiers from Taiyuan to Tuntian on both sides of the Yellow River, and at the same time moved the Diannong Zhonglang General's Mansion to Anyi City in Hedong County.

Xiao Huangmen then took out another holy decree: the Son of Heaven asked for the resettlement of 600,000 disaster victims in the state.

This time, the top and bottom of the Zhenbei General's Mansion were not dumbfounded, but their souls flew out of the sky, and even Xu Rong's expression changed drastically, and he was frightened. From the beginning to the end, the holy decree never mentioned a word of money, to put it bluntly, whether the 600,000 victims are dead or alive is the matter of your Zhenbei General's Mansion. Li Wei said a very idiotic thing, my Zhenbei General's Mansion is only in charge of the military affairs of the three states and two counties, regardless of the civil affairs, it seems that we should not be in charge of the resettlement of the victims, right?

Xiao Huangmen, who came to announce the decree, smiled pleasantly: "Lord Sima, this holy decree was given to you by His Majesty to the Zhenbei General's Mansion." Now there are four mansions in Jinyang, and the four mansions are headed by the Zhenbei General's Mansion, do you still let the smallest authority and the Prefecture Assassin Mansion be in charge? ”

Xiao Huangmen, who announced the decree, resolutely refused Xu Rong's retention, didn't even eat, turned around and went back to Hedong. He saw that the camp was full of bearded soldiers, and he was already frightened when he thought of the tragic deaths of several lieutenants.

The five adults and the Peng Shi of the Zhenbei General's Mansion gathered together, all with solemn faces and without saying a word.

Last year, Li Hong and his subordinates tried almost every means to get money in order to resettle millions of displaced people, but in the end they almost didn't rob it. Up to now, the Zhenbei General's Mansion has owed huge foreign debts to the wealthy businessmen from all over the world. Although it is said that there is still money in the treasury, it is all borrowed money, and it has to be repaid, and in October, the grain must be harvested, the winter wheat must be sown, and in the winter, the ditches must be repaired. These things are all in a hurry to use money. Now, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have suddenly sent 600,000 victims to ask for proper resettlement in the state, where can they get the money?

Zhao Qi suddenly whispered: "Mr. Zijiang has been coming to Jinyang for a long time, I should ask him, ask him where he can get the money?" Ask him if there will be an accident in the state? ”

Xie Ming whispered comfortingly: "Teacher, don't worry too much, there is always a way." When it comes to the art of class numbers, the teacher, Mr. Cai, and Master Xiangkai are all masters in this. You can't see it, and Mr. Xu may not be ......" Zhao Qi shook his head again and again with a painful expression, and Xie Ming hurriedly stopped talking, so as not to upset the teacher.

Ding Yuan smiled bitterly: "Forget it, no matter what Mr. Zijiang says, 600,000 disaster victims must be resettled, so let's raise money and food first." Ding Yuan looked worried, but in fact, he was still very relaxed. There are Zhenbei General's Mansion, Pingnan Zhonglang General's Mansion, and Gotian Zhonglang General's Mansion in his Assassin's Mansion, and these 600,000 homeless people have nothing to do with them, but they have nothing to do with themselves. His assassin's mansion was originally a throw.

After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, his Hanoi soldiers were basically killed and wounded, except for a few Pengshi officers under his tent, almost all the non-commissioned officers were killed. It is precisely because the Hanoi soldiers have finished fighting and he has made military exploits that Sikong Ding Palace has a very good reason to recommend him as the pastor of the state. The state pastor is in charge of the military and political power of a state, but now the situation of the state is very special, there is the head of the Zhenbei General's Mansion in charge of military affairs, there is the head of the Pingnan Zhonglang General's Mansion in charge of the Yellow Turban Army and the military and political power of the two counties of Taiyuan Shangdang, and there is the head of the Hutian Captain's Mansion in charge of the Mintun. In such a complex situation, if another governor is appointed, the matter of the annexation becomes even more complicated. Conflicts are very prone to conflict due to overlapping powers and unclear responsibilities between governments. The Son of Heaven and the ministers discussed for a long time, considering that the official position of the governor might cause misunderstanding among the prefectures, and finally decided to let Ding Yuan move from the commander of Wumeng to the state assassin history, the official rank of 2,000 stone of the assassin history, in charge of the military and political power of other counties except Taiyuan and Shangdang counties. Although he is not a state pastor, he has similar powers to the state pastor, and he can still control the county soldiers in Yanmen, Xihe, and Shangdang counties. Several other counties and counties in the state were either occupied by the Hu people or belonged to the Pingnan Zhonglang General's Mansion, so he actually did a very boring job in this state assassination. Half of the only three counties that can speak are in the hands of the Hu people, and the other half are also barren and desolate, and the county soldiers have all fought in the first battle of Yanmen Pass, and the entire Thorn Mansion is an empty shelf.

The general He Jin also wrote a letter to Ding Yuan for this matter. He comforted Ding Yuan and said that there is no position for Jiuqing in the DPRK and China, and he is waiting for the opportunity to wait for the opportunity in Bingzhou for the time being. However, he reminded Ding Yuan that considering the future, the county soldiers of Bingzhou still had to be rebuilt, and all the garrisons of important pass cities could not be handed over to the Zhenbei Army and the Yellow Turban Army. Ding Yuan understood. At the end of the letter, the general He Jin said that His Majesty's Xiyuan Army has also vacant a position of military commander, if you have a suitable candidate, ask him to come to the capital as soon as possible, and I will arrange for someone to go in. Ding Yuan was very happy and deliberately chose Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is his disciple, and this time he has made military achievements again, and he is loyal to himself, which is the most suitable.

That day, Ding Yuan ran to congratulate Yanmen Taishou Guo Yun on his title of marquis of the drama, and when he was drinking, he inadvertently told Guo Yun about it. Guo Yun said that if he can enter the Xiyuan Army, he has a bright future. Since you are very familiar with the general and Lord Sikong, can you do me a favor and recommend someone to me, that is, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, he is my most proud disciple. Ding Yuan couldn't refuse, and said, okay, I'll write a letter to the general and Lord Sikong, even if Zhang Liao can't enter the Xiyuan Army, he can also enter the General's Mansion or Sikong Mansion to serve in Pengshi, which is also very good. Guo Yun was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He suddenly remembered the brave and invincible Lu Bu, so he asked Ding Yuan, why didn't you give Lu Bu such a good opportunity? Ding Yuan said disdainfully that he had the blood of the Huns on his body, which was unreliable and could not be used, and it was okay to ask him to charge into battle and kill people. Guo Yun suddenly realized. It turned out that Lu Bu was half a Hun, no wonder he was so powerful. However, he was very uncomfortable with Ding Yuan's treatment of Lu Bu like this, he was a native of Northern Xinjiang, and there had never been any discrimination against Han people with Hu blood. Ding Yuan was very happy to see Guo Yun, and took the opportunity to mention the rebuilding of the county soldiers. Guo Yun had already had this idea, and in his opinion, of course, it was safest to use his own soldiers to garrison the fortress. The two immediately figured out how to ask Xu Rong for money.

Ding Yuan rushed to the Longshan camp, preparing to formally propose the matter of rebuilding the county soldiers to Xu Rong, hoping to get the military support of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, but this holy decree of the Son of Heaven poured cold water on him. Now let's not talk about rebuilding the county soldiers, even whether everyone can eat enough has become a problem.

When Zhao Qi heard Ding Yuan say that he wanted to find a way to raise money and food, his face suddenly turned into anger: "Money, grain, I have a lot of money in the Han Kingdom." The treasury of the Great Han Kingdom is empty, but the money and silk in His Majesty's Wanjin Hall are piled up; The grain depots of the prefectures and counties are empty, but the grain in the private warehouses of the rich merchants in various places is so moldy and spoiled. My Great Han Kingdom is declining day by day, and the people of our Great Han Kingdom are hungry and cold, but the sons of heaven of my Great Han Kingdom, the powerful and rich people of the Great Han Kingdom, are making money day by day and living in luxury. This world is becoming more and more incomprehensible now, and my Han country has been in danger for a long time, the country is in danger, and the society is in danger. ”

"Raising money and food? Where to raise? Do you want us to rob, steal, and corrupt the law? His Majesty and the ministers of the court have gone too far. Jizhou has been fighting continuously in recent years, and it may indeed be unable to provide disaster relief. But Sili, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, which one is not the rich land of my Han Kingdom? Can't the victims move south across the Yellow River? Why do you have to move to the desolate and barren war-torn state of Merge? ”

"Tuntian? This is also called the border tuntian? This is pushing more than a million people in the state to their deaths. How did we get through last year? The displaced people who came down from Taihang Mountain only ate one meal a day, and they survived the long winter with that pitiful meal. The soldiers of the army in northern Xinjiang are also very hard, whether they are fighting or training, they only have two meals a day, and the general even only eats three black cakes a day. When I saw the general eating meat at Master Li's wedding feast, I wanted to cry. A dignified general of Han Zhenbei, he couldn't taste meat for a few months, did anyone believe it? ”

"The state is so poor, why are there still officials who are corrupt and take bribes? It's because it's too bitter that when the general wants to kill them, I strongly oppose it. Their mistakes can be forgiven, because it is we who have failed to do a good job in the affairs of the annexation and have not let them live the life they should live. We can't ask the generals to do the same just because they only eat three black cakes a day, and we can't ask the subordinates to do the same because I donated all my family wealth and only wore an old linen garment. Their deaths are actually the fault of our superiors. Looking at today's state bureaucrats, how many people resigned and left because they couldn't bear this hardship? No, everyone is serving the state and the Han without complaint or regret. The reason why today's merger states have such achievements is inseparable from the efforts of these lower officials. But we are so miserable, who knows? Who can understand? Just after our spring ploughing, just after we defeated the Xianbei people, just when we thought we could breathe a sigh of relief, His Majesty and the imperial court dealt us a heavy blow. To 600,000 of our victims. This is Your Majesty, this is how the ministers of the imperial court understand us and the state? This is to put us and the people of the state to death. ”

"We originally estimated that under the best and smoothest situation, it would be effective in five years, but now it will not be possible to say five years, even ten years. With the addition of 600,000 people, the difficulty of tuntian has not doubled, but increased dozens of times. ”

"We have to write to Your Majesty and ask the court for money, otherwise, our hard work and hard work in the past year will be in vain."

Zhao Qi was furious and complained. Everyone in the big tent was speechless, not daring to make a sound, for fear of adding fuel to the fire and angering the boss. At this time, if the boss falls, the affairs of the state will be even more troublesome.

After a long time, Zuo Yancai whispered, "Boss, Your Majesty said in the holy decree that the relocation of the victims this time is to prevent the riots of the victims, and instructed us to be sure to resettle properly, and did not mention the money to be given to us to resettle the victims. According to the current situation of the imperial court, it is difficult for the imperial court to provide disaster relief on its own, let alone give us money. In fact, the lack of money is not our biggest problem at present, our biggest problem at the moment is the lack of arable land. Last year, in order to settle the displaced people, we moved 250,000 Tuntian soldiers away 200,000, and after this war, we also moved the last 50,000 Tuntian soldiers, and the Diannong Zhonglang General's Mansion was also moved to Anyi. But that's it, arable land is still not enough. At present, the displaced people from Montenegro are still coming down the mountain one after another, and the displaced people from Jizhou and Youzhou are still coming in an endless stream, and the population of Taiyuan and Shangdang is increasing, and we can no longer bear it.

Li Wei sighed: If we can now take back all the four northern counties, or at least the territory north of Yanmen County, we can at least send back the hundreds of thousands of people who fled from the north back to their original hometowns, and then we can move some of the disaster victims north, then the population and land problems of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties will be solved. At that time, the situation of the tuntian can be quickly improved because of this, and the tuntian can be seen earlier.

Xu Rong smiled slightly when he heard this, and quietly made a gesture of appreciation to Li Wei. Yesterday, several staff members of the Zhenbei General's Mansion who participated in the deliberations looked at Li Wei together. Li Wei said this at this time, not casually sighing, but with great meaning. Everyone has complicated eyes and heavy hearts.

Zhao Qi, who was familiar with Northern Xinjiang, heard Li Wei's words, his white eyebrows furrowed, and he closed his eyes and pondered.

Tang Fang said slowly, it is impossible to recover the four northern counties now, and the Great Han Kingdom does not have this ability at present. If you want to fight out of the fortress, it will be at least ten years later. 600,000 displaced people will soon enter the state, and what we urgently need to solve is their survival, and there is not much time left for us, so let's talk about some practical problems. In my opinion, the banks of the Yellow River in Xihe County can be reclaimed for land, and although it cannot accommodate 600,000 people, it can at least resettle half of the population. The remaining half, I don't think it's your majesty to move them to Hedong?

Xie Ming immediately retorted that if His Majesty agreed to relocate the victims to Hedong, it would be better to relocate them to Hanoi and Henan nearby, even Yuzhou. Why did Your Majesty spend so much money to send them all the way to Bingzhou? Your Majesty is worried about the riots of the victims and the disaster in Gyeonggi. This is the main reason for His Majesty's relocation of the population to Bingzhou, and the border tuntian is just an excuse. In addition, there are now 80,000 Yellow Turban Army, 120,000 Tuntian soldiers in Hedong, and the remnants of Baibo Yellow Turbans in Wangwushan, in this case, Your Majesty and the imperial court will agree to relocate the victims to Hedong? That's not spending money to find trouble. His Majesty intended to change the Diannong Governor's Mansion to the Diannong Zhonglang General's Mansion, not just to appease the Yellow Turban Army and the Tuntian Soldiers, worrying that they would make trouble. In addition, the population of Hedong is already very large, and the wasteland on both sides of the Fen River has also been requisitioned by the Diannong Governor's Mansion as military cantonment land, and there is no surplus land in Hedong to resettle the victims. To resettle 600,000 victims, the only way to do so is to merge with the prefecture itself.

Zhang Yan looked at Tang Fang and asked in surprise, "Is there still a place in Xihe that can be reclaimed?" ”

The two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang, which were under the supervision of the Yellow Turban Army, suddenly came to 600,000 victims, which made Zhang Yan helpless, if it weren't for the fact that he still had the Zhenbei General's Mansion on top, he would almost collapse.

Tang Fang nodded and said, "Starting from the reclamation of the famine, until the success of Tuntian, we will spend an astonishing amount of money. Because in the early days, it was necessary to open up the land and dig ditches, otherwise there would be no arable land and no water to irrigate the cultivated land. The Tuntian in Taiyuan and Shangdang did not have this trouble, because the predecessors left us enough wasteland and ditches, which saved us a lot of time and money. ”

Li Wei said: "Xihe Tuntian not only cannot solve the problem of the survival of 600,000 victims, but also adds a huge financial burden to the state. What's more serious is that its cost will directly bury the Tuntian in Taiyuan and Shangdang. And the state may be completely dragged down because of this bottomless pit of spending money. Therefore, I think that unless the money for Xihe Tuntian is spent by the imperial court, we must not make this decision. ”

When Ding Yuan heard that he was going to Tuntian in Xihe, he was very nervous. Xihe is under his jurisdiction, and if Xu Rong and Zhao Qi agree, he will be busy, and he may not be able to do any good. Once the victims rioted in Xihe, he was completely finished. His identity cannot be compared with Li Hong, Zhang Yan, and Zhao Qi. These three people are more than a cow, which onion is he? Therefore, Ding Yuan hurriedly followed Li Wei to oppose it, and the voice of opposition was very loud, and the reasons were particularly full and detailed, and he clearly proposed to use the method of recovering the four northern counties to solve all the problems of the annexation of the state and northern Xinjiang. In the end, he said, compared with the battle to regain the lost territory, our cost is much less than in Xihe Tuntian, and after we recapture the four northern counties, we can solve the population and land problems of the annexed prefecture once and for all, we can stabilize the entire northern Xinjiang, we can solve the problem of frequent invasions by the Hu people, and we can even inspire the people and revive the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty.

Zuo Yan immediately retorted that the critical situation in northern Xinjiang had not improved in any way because of the victory in the Battle of Yanmen Pass. Now the general is still fighting in Youzhou, and Lord Koji is still fighting in the Great Wall fortress to quell the rebellion, not to mention the fortress battle at present, even if you can keep the counties in the middle of Youzhou, it is already very good.

Ding Yuan said, what if the general pacified the rebels in Youzhou and recovered Yuyang and Lulongsai?

Zuo Yan said that even though the general won a big victory in Youzhou, how much does it cost to fight out of the fortress? How many troops are needed? How much grain and grass do you need? How many people are needed? How long does it take to prepare? Can we do it?

Ding Yuan said that in last year's Western Xinjiang War and this year's Yanmen Pass War, the Xianbei people were defeated, and they suffered heavy losses, so there should not be many iron horsemen left? At present, the number of troops in northern Xinjiang has an absolute advantage. The general has tens of thousands of iron cavalry, and Lord Zhang also has 90,000 Yellow Turban troops, and the number of troops fighting in the fortress is definitely not a problem. Now we have 600,000 victims in our hands, plus the people of the four northern counties who fled to the customs last year, we can recruit at least 300,000 to 400,000 people. It is true that it will take a long time to prepare for the operation out of Cyprus, but if we start to prepare now, it will be about the same by next spring.

Zuo Yan asked, what about the money used to fight the war? What about grain? What about ordnance?

Ding Yuan thought for a moment and said, judging from the experience of the army of this dynasty in the past, if the general takes 100,000 troops out of the fortress, from spring to autumn, it will take seven to eight months, and it will probably cost 5 billion to 6 billion yuan in military resources, and if it is exceeded, it will not exceed a lot, because our purpose is only to recover the lost territory of the four counties, and we can stop fighting when we reach Yinshan. As for grain, after the autumn harvest in various states and counties in October this year, we can buy and hoard in large quantities. There is also ordnance, I remember that your Zhenbei General's Mansion didn't expand the Jinyang Ordnance Workshop, and also built a very large Ordnance Workshop in Anyi? It should be more than enough to be made day and night by these two workshops, plus a batch of requisitioned from the arsenals of various states and counties.

Zuo Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked, money, the most important thing is money, where do these billions of money come from?

The excitement on Ding Yuan's face suddenly swept away, and he was silent.

Zuo Yan sighed and said helplessly, it's not that we can't afford to fight this battle, and it's not that our Han country can't afford to help these millions of victims, but that the money is not in the treasury of our Han country, and this grain is not in the grain depot of our Han country. On the one hand, the border counties are lost and the refugees are wailing, and on the other hand, the money is like a mountain and the food is moldy. This is today's Great Han Kingdom. I remember when Emperor Wu of this dynasty, I also encountered today's situation, Emperor Wu wanted to fight, but there was no money, and the Dasi Nong Mansion and the Shaofu had no money, so Emperor Wu was angry, the salt and iron official camp was gone, and the giant merchant Fujia was also copied and killed. But today, the situation in the Great Han Kingdom is better than when Emperor Wu was in his hands, because His Majesty still has money in his hands, there is still money in the treasury of Shaofu, and there are many, many more money. Take this disaster relief as an example, His Majesty and the Shaofu have contributed three billion dollars, and it stands to reason that with these three billion dollars, disaster relief is basically enough, but why did Your Majesty and the imperial court still let 600,000 disaster victims leave their hometowns and move thousands of miles to Bingzhou?

Why? All those in the tent know it in their hearts.

Zuo Yan went on to say, this is a natural disaster, and it is even more **, just like this war-torn northern Xinjiang, the reason for which is not the invasion of the Hu people, but the ** of the Great Han Kingdom. However, His Majesty and the ministers of the court still thought that our Great Han Kingdom was insufficient, and even moved 600,000 disaster victims to the northern Xinjiang, which was not guaranteed, and the Great Han Kingdom was in danger. He looked at Ding Yuan, shook his head and said, if he goes out to fight again at this time, the Great Han Kingdom is not in danger, but very dangerous.

He solemnly looked at the people in the tent and said loudly, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." At this time, when the Han Dynasty was in a dilemma, the country was in turmoil, and even if we had these six billion dollars, we could not go to war. In the early years of this dynasty, the disaster of the Huns was pacified, and the emperors of the Wen and Jing dynasties endured for decades to stabilize the country, until the country was peaceful when Emperor Wu was in peace, and then began to fight in the fortress. Is there anything wrong with the ancestors' way of victory?
