267 Economic Sanctions

Zhang Zhao received Zhang Yan's order and left Pengcheng with a letter of agreement.

After a long journey and a long journey, Zhang Zhao finally arrived in Jinling County, and under Chen Deng's arrangement, he first lived in Jinling City.

When Chen Deng learned of Zhang Zhao's intention, he was a little dissatisfied at first, thinking that there was no need to open a mutual market with Sun Ce, and according to the latest information, Sun Ce's war with Shanyue had entered a confrontation stage.

So, Chen Deng asked Zhang Zhao to stay in Jinling City first, and he himself wrote a letter and sent someone to Pengcheng to state the situation in Jiangdong.

Chen Deng believes that opening up the mutual market will not benefit his side at all. Sun Ce's war with Shanyue was protracted, and hundreds of thousands of people in Shanyue were not at all something that Sun Ce could pacify overnight, and because of the war between the two sides, it directly led to the decline of Jiangdong's population, barren fields, and many Jiangdong people, most of whom migrated to Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Jinling County and other relatively stable areas. Moreover, at present, in Jiangdong, the most scarce thing is grain, once the mutual market is opened, Sun Ce will benefit.

In addition, Chen Deng also wrote in the letter that he would strictly seal off the economy of the Shili area ruled by Sun Ce, prohibit all merchant ships and caravans from entering Jiangdong, and impose economic sanctions on Sun Ce to restrict Sun Ce's development.

Chen Deng said that Sun Ce is a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, and opening up the mutual market with Sun Ce is tantamount to raising tigers, and once Sun Ce gets a chance to breathe when his wings are full, he will bite himself in turn.

In short, Chen Deng resolutely opposed the exchange of markets with Sun Ce, and solemnly demanded that economic sanctions be imposed on Sun Ce's shili range. And Chen Deng assured Zhang Yan. Once Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao went to war. As long as he has something to do in Jinling County and the southeast, there is no need for Zhang Yan to have any worries.

After Zhang Yan received Chen Deng's letter, he suddenly felt that Chen Deng's opinions were beyond his imagination, as long as he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be very reasonable.

However, Zhang Yan couldn't make up his mind for a while. After all, this matter involves the question of his future survival. In case Chen Deng misjudged and led the army to fight with Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce made trouble behind his back, then he would really be attacked on his back.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yan called Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Gu Yong and others to his side and had a secret discussion.

After some discussion, everyone felt that what Chen Deng said was reasonable, and persuaded Zhang Yan not to raise tigers for trouble.

So, Zhang Yan made a decision to follow Chen Deng's opinion. and enshrined Chen Deng as a hussar general and gave him a festival of Yue. The three counties of Jinling, Huainan, and Lujiang were all divided into Chen Deng's management, and all the military and political power in the three counties was assigned by Chen Deng, which was equivalent to entrusting the affairs of the entire southeast border to Chen Deng to manage on his behalf.

The edict was delivered to Jinling City by Jinyiwei, and when Chen Deng received this edict, he was moved to tears, and claimed that he would definitely live up to Zhang Yan's high expectations.

In this way, Zhang Zhao did not have the role of staying in Jinling, and the letter of agreement in his hand was invalidated, and Zhang Zhao burned it.

The next day, Zhang Zhao and Jin Yiwei returned to Pengcheng together, and Chen Deng became the most powerful official under Zhang Yan, and since then he has become a person who makes Sun Ce grit his teeth with hatred.

A few days later, Chen Deng officially began to impose economic sanctions on Sun Ce, blocking all roads and ports leading to Jiangdong, and prohibiting any traders from entering Jiangdong from the north.

In addition, Zhou Tai was also specially asked to use the existing warships to form a patrol team to patrol and cruise on the sea, and once a ship was found sailing to Jiangdong, all of them were seized, the goods were confiscated, and the personnel were also heavily fined. But when the ships coming from the south enter the sea, they do not let them go, but leave them within their jurisdiction, and those who are willing to serve the people are given land and houses, and those who are not willing to serve the people are seized and let them go.

For a time, the people in the four counties of Wu, Yuzhang, Huiji, and Danyang under Sun Ce's jurisdiction were panicking, and Sun Ce's army was engaged in a bloody battle with Shanyue, but it caught up with Chen Deng to impose economic sanctions, which was really a disaster.

The Shanyue mob often raided the Han people's garrisons, looted grain, and destroyed crops and houses, so that a large number of people in the four counties of Jingdong were lost, and they migrated to Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, or Jinling, Lujiang, and Huainan counties within the Shili area of Zhang Yan.

It just so happened that Chen Deng gave an attractive immigration policy, as long as the people came to vote, not only did they have a house to live in and good land to cultivate, but the government also provided them with rations for free to ensure the people's livelihood.

In just one month, there were more than 5,000 households, almost 10,000 or 20,000 people, who had emigrated from the four counties of Jiangdong to Jinling County, Lujiang County, and Huainan County, all of whom had been properly arranged by Chen Deng.

Sun Ce was in turmoil in the mountains, economic sanctions outside, and lost a large number of people, all of which made Sun Ce exhausted.

For this reason, Sun Ce had to listen to Zhou Yu's advice, conduct a truce with Shanyue, and change the original ruling policy, recognize the real existence of Shanyue, and specially divide a place for the people of Shanyue to manage themselves, and the two sides will not invade each other.

Although Shanyue was outnumbered, it lacked effective command, let alone a unified organization, so that when fighting with Sun Ce's army, Sun Ce often concentrated superior forces to break through one by one, and was basically at a disadvantage. However, the Shanyue people were able to rely on the mountains and forests to fight, and in the mountains and forests, Sun Ce's army was inferior to them, but won more and lost less.

In this way, Sun Ce occupied the town, and the people of Shanyue occupied the mountains and forests, and a confrontation gradually formed.

But Rao is so, Shanyue still suffered a serious blow, because of the brave and ruthless nature of the people of Shanyue, so each tribe and clan are self-reliant, not subordinate to each other, even in the war, do not help, basically fight alone with Sun Ce's army, there is no unity spirit of mutual help, so that some Shanyue clans were completely wiped out by Sun Ce in the war.

Therefore, when the envoy sent by Sun Ce said that he wanted a truce, all the tribes and clans of Shanyue agreed to a truce to recuperate, and agreed with Sun Ce in three chapters, Shanyue's land absolutely did not want to see Sun Ce's army, otherwise it would be death, for the proposal to move together, Shanyue never accepted to leave his homeland, Ning Yuan died in his own land, and he would never go out of the mountain.

Zuihou, Sun Ce still agreed to Shanyue's conditions, a truce with Shanyue, he occupied the town, the people of Shanyue occupied the mountains and forests, and stipulated that the Han people should not approach the residence of the people of Shanyue, and opened twenty places where the two sides could trade, and set up various trading markets.

Since then, the Shanyue Rebellion in Jiangdong has lasted a year and a half, and finally came to an end, and Sun Ce also began to devote himself to the development of agriculture, but at this time, the people in the territory have been much worse than before, and the population of all the four counties in Jiangdong has only about 500,000 left, and the law and order are unstable, thieves are numerous, and the people are still in a large number of arrows.

Therefore, Sun Ce appointed Zhou Yu as the Taishou of Yuzhang, Cheng Pu as the Taishou of Danyang, Sun Jing as the Taishou of Huiji, and LΓΌ Fan as the Taishou of Wu County, and distributed all the soldiers and generals under him to the four counties, focusing on stabilizing public order.

In addition, Sun Ce also listened to Zhou Yu's advice and sent envoys to pay tribute to the imperial court.

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

The weather in July is very hot, the sun is shining in the sky, the ground is steaming, Zhang Han, who is three and a half years old, is playing in the general's mansion, and next to Zhang Han, there are still his father Zhang Yan and mother Mi Zhen.

Zhang Yan and Mi Zhen sat in the pavilion, watching Zhang Han playing with the palace maids, Mi Zhen asked: "Husband, you said a few days ago that there would be a gentleman to teach Han'er, and now it's almost two months since then, why haven't you seen a gentleman coming?" Han'er is getting older day by day, if she keeps being so playful, how will she be good in the future? ”

"Hehe, madam, you don't have to worry, I said that I will definitely find a Mr. Haode for Han'er, and I will definitely not break my promise. I came here today to tell you that the gentleman I found for Han'er has arrived in Pengcheng and is now resting at the post station, and I will come to Fuzhong to meet Han'er tomorrow. Zhang Yan said very calmly.

Mi Zhen said in surprise: "Oh? It turns out that the husband has been thinking about Han'er, and since this is the case, the concubine is relieved. ”

Zhang Yan hugged Mi Zhen and said with a smile: "Han'er not only wants to learn literature, but also martial arts, and both civil and military is the result I want." ”

Mi Zhen asked, "Husband, the martial artist who taught Han'er has also been found?" ”

"Well, I've got it."

"Can you tell me who the martial artist of the concubine Professor Han'er is?"

Zhang Yan said: "Who else can there be, Huwei General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong!" ”

The next day, as soon as the sky was dawning, the sun had just risen, and the weather was not too hot, a brocade guard entered the general's mansion with a young talent in a robe.

This young talent is eighteen years old, more than eight feet long, with a fair complexion, a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, eyes like shooting stars, red lips and white teeth, like a handsome guy.

This person followed Jinyiwei to the hall of the General's Mansion, and saw that there was already a person sitting at the top of the hall, it was Zhang Yan, the general of the dynasty.

As soon as Jin Yiwei entered the hall, he immediately bowed: "See the lord, the people have been brought!" ”

"Grass people Zhuge Liang, knock on the general!" After listening to Jin Yiwei's words, the young talent who came in with Jin Yiwei immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head very low, and quietly waited for Zhang Yan's words.

When Zhang Yan entered the hall from Jinyiwei, he began to look at Zhuge Liang, but when he saw that Zhuge Liang was majestic and handsome, he was really a rare handsome little student, and he liked it in his heart.

"Zhuge Liang, get up and speak." Zhang Yan is not hypocritical, now in a high position, he has been in this era for many years, even if he meets any celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, he is as usual, and he is no longer surprised.

"General Xie!" Zhuge Liang slowly stood up from the ground, still standing in the hall, quietly waiting for Zhang Yan's question.

"Zhuge Liang, the reason why this mansion called you, I believe your brother told you, right?" Zhang Yan got straight to the point. (To be continued......)
