Chapter 749 short-term adjustment, scheduling period
Dong Zhuo and his generals joined Dong Hu. No matter how fair Dong Hu treated him, Li Jue and Guo Si were psychologically similar to those of their stepmothers, so they might take military risks to prove themselves. Therefore, some things must be said to make them feel at ease, and more importantly, they should avoid military risks.
When Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, died of illness, internal turmoil would definitely be caused by power struggles. This degree of turmoil is closely related to the degree of external threats. If Cao Cao did not massacre the city in Xuzhou in "Three Kingdoms", it would have greatly threatened the life and death of the local family in Xuzhou, after Tao Qian died of illness, Liu Bei might not have succeeded as the governor of Xuzhou.
Of course, the Liangzhou army has replaced Cao Cao, which has also put great pressure on Xuzhou. Lu Bu and Liu Bei have all gone to Xuzhou again, and Dong Hu cannot determine who will be in Xuzhou. After all, the two have their own advantages.
Later generations basically have a perception that it was Tao Qian's subordinates who killed Cao Cao's father, and Cao Cao massacred the city of Xuzhou. In fact, this was wrong. Cao Cao first slaughtered Xuzhou, and then Cao Song died at Tao Qian's hands. Then Cao Cao entered Xuzhou again. This time, Zhang Miao rebelled with Lu Bu, and Cao Cao almost lost the entire Yanzhou.
But Dong Hu did not give Cao Cao the chance to slaughter Xuzhou, and took advantage of his weakest position to seize Yanzhou.
Cao Cao failed to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou first, so naturally he did not anger Tao Qian to kill his father. Cao Song also followed Cao Ren to Wujun smoothly.
Although Cao Cao can become an alliance with Xuzhou now, the Liangzhou army's oppression on Xuzhou is real. It is hard to say whether Xuzhou's internal power struggle will unite and unite to the outside world under such pressure, so it is necessary to test it.
Whether Dong Hu is willing or not, as long as he takes down Chen State or Pei State, it will put great pressure on Yuan Shu and Xuzhou. No matter how good things are, such pressure will still exist. If you ignore Xuzhou and give Xuzhou more time to resolve internal conflicts, this is not a wise thing.
After much thought, Dong Hu decided to let Guo Si test it, while he himself was in charge of Xiang County. One was to stabilize the hearts of the people, the other was to shock Shouchun Yuan Shu and dare not move around. Third, he needed to control the overall situation and coordinate Nanyang County, Yingchuan County, Chen State, Pei State, Taishan County, and Beihai County to oppress Xuzhou and Shouchun, and to attack any side at any time.
But this coordination takes some time. Zhu Ye killed Zhang Miao too suddenly. Dong Hu did not have such preparations and did not make plans in advance. He needed to mobilize the troops guarding Qingzhou and prepare for attacking the Langya Kingdom of Xuzhou. At the same time, he also had to clean up the mess in Pei Kingdom caused by Zhu Ye and Sun Ce.
The mess caused by Zhu Ye was mainly Xiang County, while Sun Ce caused looting and injury to several counties in the south during his escape south.
After the military discussion, Zhang Chao was smart and did not even hesitate. He led a group of Yanzhou-participated families to Chenliu County. His eagerness also made some generals in the army extremely dissatisfied, but Dong Hu didn't care much. Chenliu County was the place where Dong Hu took it earlier. Although Zhang Yi and Liu Sheng were the prefect during this period, the actual control was in the hands of Dong Hu. After Zhang Yi was transferred to Hanoi County and Liu Sheng was transferred to Chang'an, Chenliu County was completely under the control of the six cabinet departments. From the prefect to the county magistrate, they changed the fields that could be touched had already been taken into the bag by Dong Hu, and the things that could not be moved were in the hands of the local Chenliu family. It was not so easy for Zhang Chao to seize the fields of the local Chenliu family.
The Chenliu, Yingchuan, Nanyang and Hanoi families all fled in large numbers after the "Battle of Kaifeng". When the princes of Guandong compromised and gave up the four counties, they were worried about the massacre of the Liangzhou army and followed the princes to escape. Most of the ones who remained were smaller families, or families with a deep sense of their hometown, and even if they died, they would die in their hometown.
The fields have been divided up long ago, and it is not so easy for Zhang Chao and others to occupy them. Once they are sued and the six ministries of the cabinet want to be punished, then it is not possible for others to blame, right?
Dong Hu would not dare to let Zhang Chao go even in places like Yanzhou and Qingzhou. The old fried dough sticks would try their best to dig up the fields and create a family with great influence in a very short time. A place like Yingchuan County would become a place where dogs bite hedgehogs and nowhere to slap. Not only that, Dong Hu was also very stingy. The official with an annual salary of 2,000 shi, reduced him to the salary of the county magistrate. He only gave him an annual salary of 500 shi, while the county magistrate was downgraded to the annual salary of 200 shi.
It is not the time of prosperity, and everything needs to be saved. As for princes, princes, etc., if you want a fief, you should ask the court for it. Anyway, he will definitely not give it to him.
Dong Hu was not afraid of Zhang Chao going to Yingchuan, and this was also an attitude for outsiders to see. Whether it could reduce the hostility of some families in Xuzhou and Runan County was unknown, but it was a little bit smaller. His current military strength was too scattered, and there were too many Qingzhou troops who like to loot. But in a short period of time, he had no good idea and could only try to weaken the attitude of some big clans. Of course, he would never trust these families. Zhang Chao's family had declined and had lost the foundation of the family. But even so, Zhang Chao could only make a clay carving in Chenliu. It would be impossible to enter the six cabinet departments.
Xiang County was seriously damaged, but the Qingzhou Army also helped him solve the big family in Xiang County. Almost all the surrounding fields became ownerless fields, and the eight counties in the south were almost like this. The wealthy families in the eight counties in the south suffered two robberies.
Once, when Ji Ling and Cao Cao were acting, they were either killed or forced to Runan County; the other time, when Sun Ce fled south, he used the information known to the eight counties in the south to be absent. It was Sun Ce who killed Bian Rang, Zhang Miao and others, but spread rumors that the Qingzhou army rebelled and killed people, so they forced thousands of young and strong men to serve as soldiers. At the same time, they forced the wealthy family and food to flee south. Some died when they fought with Li Jin and Dong Yue, but most of them were captured by Dong Yue.
Regardless of the dead, the captured wealthy families, they were just deceived, but Dong Hu didn't care about these things. As long as they opened the city and accepted Sun Ce, they were guilty. It was similar to what he did in Yanzhou. All the property was confiscated. Except for leaving some self-provided land for their family, the rest were confiscated.
The fields south of Xiang County were basically taken into account by Dong Hu. In addition to these, there were also the fields of the Cao family and Xiahou family in Qiao County. As long as those who were engaging in trouble with Cao Cao, all the fields would be confiscated. Apart from these, the rest basically did not move much. Except for the unreclaimed wasteland, he could not deprive the fields of each family. However, one thing must be followed, that is, the tenant rent should not exceed 50%. Although their taxes were still thirty taxes, one count tax, and even taxes were all cancelled, they needed to support one soldier for every 500 acres of land.
Dong Hu mainly has two types of taxes, one is ten taxes, and this tax is mainly on the fields he controls. The people do not need to raise one soldier on "five hundred acres"; the other is thirty taxes, but they need to raise one soldier on every five hundred acres. No matter who he is farming, he only depends on who owns the land.
In addition to these, there is another special place, namely Yanmen County and Hetao County. Although the ownership of the land here is in the hands of Dong Hu, there is no tax here, because this is a garrison, and all the people belong to the garrison, either military farming or military soldiers supporting the land. This is the place where Dong Hu really started his family and made the greatest sacrifice. When he helped the people of Liangzhou, it was the food saved by the people of Yanmen County who had eaten a big pot of rice. Dong Zhuo forced his capital to move the capital, and nearly one million belly was fed by the people of Yanmen County. In previous battles, they were the ones who died in battle and were the most disabled. Dong Hu had no reason not to compensate them.
The people's hearts are beneficial. As long as the people are given a better life, the people will settle down quickly, and the fields are the most effective means of buying. Except for the military farming of some soldiers, the rest will be fully distributed, and the people will settle down. Of course, this will take some time, but Dong Buyi never knew how many times did such things. He followed the commander's envoy and the young army went to various counties again to support the venue first.
Dong Hu personally took charge of Xiang County. The five thousand cavalry of the heavy armored cavalry and Dong Gu's troops went out of the city to log wood, and made adobe bricks with mud, preparing to build the burned houses in the city. At the same time, Zhang Liao, Dong Yue, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu also began to rectify the seven or eight thousand Yellow Turban Army. On the third day after the military discussion, Guo Si from Xiao County sent news and decided to send troops to try to attack Pengcheng. However, when he finally decided to send it, Guo Si also sent a guarantee that he would never attack Pengcheng in order to show off. He would be careful and cautious...
Guo Si was also afraid. Dong You had already made the words clear in the letter. His chances of winning against Pengcheng were only 30%. If the Qingzhou army was too forced to attack Pengcheng, according to the Qingzhou army's temperament, it was hard to say whether it would become as vulnerable as Li Jin... or even rebel in the face of the battle.
Dong You has already made it clear in the letter that he should be said and what he should not be said. If he is still defeated, don’t blame anyone for being severely punished.
Guo Si was already an independent prefect, general, and his deputy general manager had more power than the prefect of a county. If he lost his wealth and honor because of his carelessness, wouldn’t it be a loss? Perhaps for this reason, Guo Si repeatedly promised to be absolutely cautious and cautious, and to fight if he could, and to withdraw his country if he could not.
The messengers had frequent exchanges, and the various battalions were mobilized and personnel adjustments not only needed to put pressure on Xuzhou and Runan County, but also to be careful to prevent Yuan Shao from taking the opportunity to take action. Dong Hu also gave Xu Rong a further right to let Xu Rong coordinate the troops of Heishan Army in Bingzhou, Zhang Yi of Hanoi County, Li Jue of Dong County, and Sun Niu of Bohai County. Once Yuan Shao showed signs of sending troops to interfere in Xuzhou, Xu Rong must restrain and resist the Jizhou Army.
At the same time, after Chang'an got another war in the Central Plains general, the cabinet decided to leave Luoyang for the candidates left. Dong Sanya, Kuwa, and Dong Ning were in charge of Luoyang, Jia Xu, Minister of Revenue, Yao Shan, Minister of War, and Yang Yi, the governor of the Five Army, accompanied him to dispatch the Heishan Army in Taihang Mountains, and Yang Yi, the Hanoi County, to restrain Yuan Shao...
Chang'an and Dong Hu have no short-term plan to take action against Yuzhou. Yanzhou and Qingzhou need some time to stabilize their positions. People need time to recover their economy and people's livelihood in the face of war. The captured soldiers also need some time to transform. Zhu Jun's impulse disrupted Chang'an's original plan, but Dong Hu cannot sit idly by and watch Yuzhou completely lose control.
