Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

"Oh? Hahaha, Zhang Rennai is an admiral. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, and a general is hard to find. I can't use it in time, so how could I kill him?"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Yizhou has had many talents since ancient times, and they will naturally have to be appointed. This is the blessing of the country."

Hearing Liu Ye's words, the Yizhou officials behind him were immediately moved, because Liu Ye's words seemed to have a deep meaning, as if they had plans to win over the Yizhou gentry.

There are many noble clans in the 13 states in the world. If you want to rule a good place, the power of these noble clans is indispensable. For example, there are four surnames of Gu Zhang Zhulu in Jiangdong. Gu Yong served as prime minister after Sun Quan became emperor. Lu Xun and Lukang became the pillars of the late Soochow. Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Zhu Yi and others of the Zhu family were all temporary talents. It can be said that Soochow was completely supported by the noble family.

How can you see it? After the triumph of the Three Kingdoms, both Cao Wei and Dongwu adopted the Shishi system, but the meanings are different. The Shishi system of Cao Wei means "soldiers from generation to generation", which specifically defines the household registration of some people among the population under the rule. For military households, the duty of this part of the people is to serve as soldiers, and provide sufficient troops for Cao Wei.

In the Soochow military system, the generals control the private soldiers, forming a unit. When the war is time to gather these generals' respective tribes, those families will naturally have generals as the leaders of the soldiers. , Control the military power.

If you want to manage a place well, the gentry must win. They control the land, conceal the population, train private soldiers, master the culture, economy, and even part of the local military. The talents of the clan must far exceed the poor, but for their appointment It must also be restricted, otherwise it is very likely to evolve into a gentry politics of the nine-tier Zhongzheng system.

"Well, let's go and see General Zhang Ren first."

Liu Zhang heard what Liu Ye said, so he sent a man to order him to open the prison and release Zhang Ren.

After a while, Zhang Ren was seen being taken out, but of course his current appearance was not the same as before. I saw that Zhang Ren had already been stripped of his armor, his head was disheveled, his feet were staggering, and there was still a hint of Yizhou army chieftain.

"Zhang Ren, why don't you kneel and bow when you see the general?"

Liu Xun shouted loudly.

"Humph! If it weren't for my Yizhou army to get out of the thief, a certain might not be defeated!"

Zhang Ren stared at Meng Da and others who were wearing Liangzhou military uniforms and followed Liu Ye, coldly.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but frown, and scolded: "Zhang Ren, the general is the pillar of the court, you hurry up and bow down."

Zhang Ren just snorted, motionless. When the officials in Yizhou saw Zhang Ren’s appearance, they had different reactions: those who were dissatisfied with Zhang Ren on weekdays naturally fell into trouble, and suggested that Liu Ye put him to death; while Huang Quan, Pang Xi and others were for Zhang Ren. Worried, but dare not speak out for Zhang Ren.

Liu Zhang helplessly stomped his feet. After all, he couldn't bear it. He turned around and said to Liu Ye: "General, Zhang Ren is really rude, and he asked the general to cut him off for the people, and he will never be included forever!"

On the surface, Liu Zhang cut Zhang Ren's post for the people, but in fact he wanted to use this method to save Zhang Ren's life.

"Oh, no hurry."

Liu Ye walked forward with a smile, Guan Hai was taken aback and hurriedly stopped Liu Ye.

"The grand general's daughter, don't sit down, be careful."

Liu Ye gave Guan Hai a stare without saying anything, and Guan Hai had to step back. But he took a few steps forward and personally untied the rope from Zhang Ren.

The ministers in Yizhou were even more excited to see Liu Ye being so courteous to Zhang Ren. Of course, it couldn't be better to be able to work for such a master.

In fact, Liu Ye also relied on his high martial arts skills and boldness. If he was a man without the power to restrain the chicken, he would definitely not dare to be so close to Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren looked at Liu Ye with a complicated complexion. He naturally had no liking for this person who invaded Yizhou, but he was so polite to himself and did not hit the smiley person with his hand, so Zhang Ren thanked him softly.

"It's okay. I would know that General Zhang is a famous general. If someone is thirsty for talents, I don't know whether General Zhang is willing to use it for me?"

Zhang Ren shook his head slowly and firmly: "The loyal minister is not the second master. If I switch to the general, it is unfaithful. Is the general willing to use unfaithful people?"

Liu Ye wanted to say something more, Zhang Ren refused to give him a chance to speak, and directly said: "Zhang Ren is defeated and his skills are not as good as others. Please give him his death soon."

Liu Ye sighed. It seems that this appointment is determined, only to get: "I would have treated General Zhang's family favorably."

"So, thank you... do it!"

Liu Ye gave a long sigh and waved his hand. A guard had already stepped forward beside him, holding Zhang Ren aside, and raising his butcher knife.

Sa!

"General, Zhang Ren's head is here!"

Liu Ye sighed: "Bury the head and body together, and then take a hundred gold to give to Zhang Ren's family."

"Here!"

After dealing with Zhang Ren, Liu Ye said again: "Please come with me into the city. We have a banquet today. You must get drunk and rest."

"Thank you General!"

After Liu Ye entered Chengdu, he hosted a banquet with Yizhou's officials, and at the same time, he added more rewards and directly announced that Yizhou's taxes would be reduced by half within three years. After hearing this news, the people of Yizhou were naturally grateful to Liu Ye.

At the same time, although Chengdu has already moved south, the Jianning and Nanzhong counties in the south have not yet surrendered. Liu Ye prepared with two hands. While ordering Zhang Jai to lead 20,000 south, he threatened the Nanzhong counties, and at the same time sent orders to the Nanzhong counties. The county surrendered.

Under the threat of Zhang Jai soldiers and Liu Ye's message, the prefects of Nanzhong, Jianning and other counties who learned that Chengdu had been breached naturally did not dare to continue to defy, but surrendered one after another. In less than two months, Yizhou has basically calmed down, which can be said to be a good form.

However, although Yizhou was captured, a lot of troubles followed. The first was the appointment of officials. Liu Zhang was definitely unable to continue serving as the governor of Yizhou. Liu Ye ordered someone to **** Liu Zhang’s family to the north. Go and send to Luoyang.

As for the important task of the governor of Yizhou, Liu Ye thought about it, and finally ordered the former Yizhou not to take Huang Quan. First, Huang Quan was very familiar with Yizhou’s ministers and used it like an instructor. Second, Huang Quan was loyal and righteous. Now that he has surrendered, he will definitely work hard.

At the same time, Liu Ye was still on the list of Yizhou officials, promoting people such as Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, etc., while continuing to reuse important officials such as Liu Ba and Pang Xi, so that the Yizhou clans directed towards Liu Ye.

The prefects of the counties in northern Yizhou were transferred from Yongliang and Liangzhou. After all, it is not appropriate to use Yizhou people, but Yizhou people are not idle, but let them go to Liangzhou to take up posts. This can eliminate The gap between Guanzhong and Shuzhong.
