My Backyard Is Connected To The Three Kingdoms, And The Opening Glass Buys The Governor

072

After Lu Qing and the others returned to Youbei, within half a month, Luoyang reported a major event.

Liu Hong is dead!

As soon as this news came out, many people knew that something big was about to happen. After all, the two princes were young, and behind them were General He Jin and Shi Changshi, so there was bound to be a struggle.

When Lu Qing, who was far away in Youzhou, heard the news, he was still quite emotional.

"Huangtu Baye is nothing more than a handful of loess in the end."

Listening to Lu Qing's words, Cai Yan and Diao Chan who were beside him both stepped forward, holding Lu Qing's arms respectively.

Lu Qing smiled slightly, and then there was a gleam in her eyes.

"The world will be in chaos, and it will be my home game next."

With Liu Hong's death, the prince has not been settled.

Liu Hong finally decided on Liu Bian as the heir apparent, because Liu Xie had no background and no support from his mother clan. Liu Hong didn't think that the ten permanent attendants could really guarantee Liu Xie's enthronement and proclaim himself emperor.

So even if you don't like the eldest son, you still choose him as the new emperor.

After all, Liu Bian was backed by General He Jin, who now controls all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City. If Liu Bian ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he would still have the support of the army.

But Liu Hong would never have imagined that when he was alive, the ten servants who bowed to him would actually do such outrageous things.

They directly tampered with the imperial edict and changed the heir to the throne from Liu Bian to Liu Xie.

In fact, it is normal for the Shichangshi to do this. Given their conflicts with the officials, if Liu Bian is really allowed to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, they will lose the protection of the emperor, and they will die without a place to bury them. .

If it was Lu Qing, he would directly execute the daily attendant before he died.

In this case, there won't be so many troubles. It can only be said that Liu Hong is still a little soft-hearted after all. From the fact that he called Zhang Rang Rang's father, it can be seen that he really has feelings for Zhang Rang.

Sure enough, as the ten permanent servants issued a tampered edict with "September 67", the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not accept it.

Among them, the one who reacted the most was General He Jin.

All of a sudden, the Luoyang city was full of swords and arrows!

The ten permanent attendants control the eight schools of Xiyuan, while He Jin controls the imperial army and so on.

In the General's Mansion, facing the current situation, He Jin's face is not relaxed.

"That stupid little sister of mine actually believed the eunuch's words."

There was anger on He Jin's face. Originally, their side had a better chance of winning, but no one thought that Empress He, who is now Empress Dowager He, would turn against the water.

The reason is that Zhang Rang and others told her that since ancient times, the powerful foreign relatives have often bullied the emperor, and the power of their eunuchs all comes from the emperor, and only they can truly preserve Liu Bian's imperial power.

It turned out that Shi Changshi and others saw that the soldiers were not in an immediate advantage, so they chose to find another way and directly chose to rely on Liu Bian.

I have to say that this trick is really good. Although Queen Mother He is cruel, she is indeed a mother.

As Liu Hong's health got worse and worse, his two elder brothers became more and more presumptuous.

Sometimes in front of myself, I can't help but say some outrageous words, maybe I have the idea of ​​usurping the throne.

Now that my son is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, if the two elder brothers really disagree, what will my son do?

So, being persuaded by the eunuch, she directly rejected the proposal of He Jin and others to kill the eunuch, and even because of Empress He, the imperial forest army was directly controlled by the eunuch.

At least the entire Imperial Palace Imperial Forest Army plus the Eighth School of Xiyuan became like an iron pass, but He Jin and others who controlled a small number of imperial troops were caught blind.

When everyone was silent, Yuan Shao said suddenly.

"General, why don't we call Qin Wang's division into Beijing?"

Listening to Yuan Shao's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

In fact, Yuan Shao came up with this idea because he wanted to call his own army into Luoyang. Whether it was himself or Yuan Shu's army, they all belonged to the masters of their four lords.

If the Yuan family's army can control Luo Yang, then Luo Yang and the Son of Heaven will have the final say in the future?

However, although He Jin is a butcher, he is not really an idiot. How could he fail to see Yuan Shao's careful thinking?

Immediately, his eyeballs rolled, and he said straightforwardly.

"Good strategy, if this is the case, this general will order Dong Zhuo, the governor of Qingzhou, to lead troops into Beijing, kill the eunuchs, and save our country.

Hearing He Jin's words, everyone was stunned, especially Yuan Shao, it was different from what he thought!

"No! The general can't!"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao shouted together.

Yuan Shao shouted because his plan failed, while Cao Cao's words were sincere concern for Tianhan.

Because Cao Cao had contact with Dong Zhuo during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is not difficult to find out from Cao Cao's eyes that Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf.

If the ambitious Dong Zhuo were allowed to enter Luoyang, what would happen?

But He Jin has already made a decision, and the nearest soldiers of King Qin are Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Yuan Shu from Yanzhou, and Dong Zhuo from Qingzhou.

It is impossible for him to let the Yuan family of four generations and three princes enter Luoyang. In that case, even if Liu Bianzhen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, wouldn't he be just a decoration as a great general?

In He Jin's view, Dong Zhuo's threat is much smaller than that of the Yuan family of four generations and three princes.

It's just that what He Jin thinks is pretty good, but there are always many things in this world that you can't predict.

If the news of today's plan is revealed, Shi Changshi and the others are terribly frightened!

How could the pampered Imperial Army, Imperial Forest Army, and the Eighth School of Xiyuan fight against the capable frontier army?

Some of Dong Zhuo's current Qingzhou iron cavalry are old subordinates from Xiliang iron cavalry.

Now Dong Zhuo has 100,000 iron cavalry, all of them are wolf-like warriors. If he were to fight against such an army, Luoyang's soldiers and horses would not be enough.

So the panicked Shi Changshi and others became anxious immediately, and they all gathered together to discuss.

In the end, a good solution was found, which was to deceive Queen Mother He, saying that they were willing to negotiate peace, and were willing to give up the soldiers and horses of the Eighth School of Xiyuan in their hands, just for a chance.

But will Shi Changshi, who is addicted to power, really give up? Obviously not.

Their ultimate goal is to trick He Jin into the palace, and then use the dead to kill He Jin.

As long as He Jin is dead, the imperial army under him can be controlled, and Dong Zhuo will not be able to enter Luoyang.

The plan went smoothly, only Cao Cao saw a clue, but He Jin didn't care.

After all, even he knew that it would be risky to let Dong Zhuo enter Luoyang. If it can be resolved peacefully, that would be the best.

And still going to his sister's palace, He Jin didn't think there would be any danger, so he entered the palace calmly.

But the final result was that in the bedroom of Empress Dowager He, dozens of eunuchs practicing martial arts suddenly appeared, directly executed He Jin, and chopped him into a pile of mud.

This scene can be said to have terrified the Queen Mother He. She never expected that her elder brother He Jin would be killed just because of her own mistake, and now the ten permanent servants are in power.

The news of He Jin's execution spread out of the palace that day, and the whole Luoyang shook instantly.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others were even more frightened.

He Jin, the boss, has been killed, so will the ten servants attack them next?

Under such threats, Yuan Shao and others chose to put all their eggs in one basket. They used the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince to incite the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

As for Cao Cao's words, he used his relationship as the captain of Xiyuan to persuade some Xiyuan generals.

All development seems to be back to the original point.

Angry soldiers of the Forbidden Army rushed into the palace, and then killed Zhang Rang and other ten permanent attendants.

Only one Duan Gui escaped from birth. He took the new emperor Liu Bian and escaped from Luoyang directly.

After all, as long as you hold the emperor's words, some princes are willing to accept them.

But at this moment, Dong Zhuo, who led the troops to Luoyang, arrived, and he directly led the Qingzhou iron cavalry to intercept Duan Gui.

After a fight, all the elite of the imperial forest army led by Duan Gui were stationed, and the little emperor Liu Bian was captured by Dong Zhuo's army.

Since then, Dong Zhuo's era has begun!

In Youzhou Palace, Lu Qing looked at the information in his hand and sighed.

"In the end, Dong Zhuo, a tiger and wolf, was allowed to enter Luoyang, and the people of Luoyang suffered.

Listening to Lu Qing's words, Guo Jia who was on the ten side nodded.

"Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf. After he entered Luoyang, he overwhelmed the officials and even took his sword to the palace."

When he said this, Guo Jia also took a look at Lu Qing. After all, if you want to say such arrogant words, no one in the whole world can compare to Lu Qing.

At the beginning, Lu Qing was a horse stepping into the palace, but Dong Zhuo could only be a child.

But everyone also knows that this is just the beginning. After the Qingzhou army eliminates dissidents, the whole Luoyang becomes Dong Zhuo's all-in-one, and this guy will become even crazier.

"By the way, where are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao?"

Lu Qing asked curiously.

Guo Jia thought for a while and continued.

"When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Yuan Shao and others fled, but Cao Cao was not in Luoyang.

"By the way, my lord, Liu Bei, whom you have paid close attention to, also escaped from Luoyang, because he was the general who guarded Duan Gui and the little emperor Liu Bian at that time."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lu Qing was taken aback for a moment.

Liu Bei can do it! Under the circumstances at that time, he could still find a chance to rise up!

If he was really allowed to take Liu Bian away at that time, no matter where he went, with the soldiers and horses in his hands and the emperor, he could become a prince in minutes, and he might not even be able to be Cao Cao.

It's just a pity that this guy was a bit unlucky. When he met Dong Zhuo's Qingzhou iron cavalry, not only were all his soldiers and horses cut off, but he even started the road to escape.

But Lu Qing will not underestimate Liu Bei. After all, this guy has abilities. If he is really given a chance, he can take off directly.

After pondering for a while, Lu Qing said to Guo Jia.

"Don't worry about the Central Plains for the time being, no matter how the situation outside changes, let's take care of our four northern states first.

"But it doesn't take long to wait. It is estimated that the world will be in chaos and the war will start."

Listening to Lu Qing's words, Guo Jia nodded.

Dong Zhuo is a tiger and a wolf, and the people will inevitably make trouble, and then there will really be wars in this world......

After Guo Jia retreated, Lu Qing looked in the direction of Luoyang City with excitement in his eyes.

"The opening of the Three Kingdoms is finally coming!"

In the days that followed, Lu Qing's Youbei was not disturbed by the turmoil of the Central Plains. Various technologies and some resources obtained from modern times were continuously invested in the four states.

At the same time, Lu Qing also kept sending the resources of this era to modern times, and got huge amounts of money in modern times.

Erdao dealers made a lot of money for Lu Qing, and of course they brought earth-shaking changes to the four northern states.

First of all, the roads in the four northern states have all been replaced with concrete roads. When the carriages of this era run on them, they don't even feel the rush.

It is indeed true to build roads before getting rich.

With the completion of cement roads in the major counties of Youbei, whether it is the transportation of materials or anything else, it is more than ten times faster!

You must know that many times in the past, businessmen had to climb mountains and mountains to walk, and the time it took was unimaginable.

But now in Youbei, except for the rest time, the merchant's convoy can move forward non-stop.

The speed has been increased by more than ten times, which naturally reduces a lot of labor costs, transportation costs and so on.

As a result, Youbei's economy has doubled by an unknown amount.

The second is that Lu Qing canceled various complicated taxes, especially the crucial one. Lu Qing canceled the land tax for the common people.

This was the first time in the world, only Lu Qing dared to do it, because he had the support of modern times, and it was too easy to develop the economy in ancient times.

Naturally, he looked down on the people's food and grass. Although it was still an agricultural era, Lu Qing still canceled the land tax.

Instead, a commercial tax has been added. As long as it is any transaction, the Youbei Palace will increase the commercial tax by 10%.

This is actually not much, after all, there are too many good things in Youbei, and you can make a fortune if you come to the Central Plains to sell them.

Therefore, the commercial tax has only been implemented for a few months, and the tax money obtained even exceeds the level of the land tax collected in the previous few years.

Cai Yong, Xi Zhicai and others were really convinced. It turned out that the business tax was the big one, and the money from the common people was really nothing.

Because of this action, Lu Qing's prestige tumbling again several times, the common people can be said to be grateful.

After all, they will not need to pay taxes in the future. They will keep all the grain and sell it at grain shops.

And the merchants who have been charged the commercial tax are also grateful to Lu Qing. The specific reason is that although Youbei has collected the commercial tax, it will give a lot of care to the merchants.

Such as granting land, or technical support, or investment loans and so on.

Lu Qing is well aware of the horror of loans, so he created Youbei Bank, which can only be operated by the imperial court.

Save money for the people, and at the same time make loans and so on.

Because of Lu Qing's prestige, this matter was easily accomplished. The common people believed in Lu Qing, the King of You, so they were willing to put the money that they had no place to hide in their homes into Youbei Bank.

All in all, under the guidance of Lu Qing, Youbei can be said to change day by day.

Even Mi Zhu, who is the Minister of the Household Department, sighed more than once that the wealth of the four northern states can be as rich as three big men!

After you have money, of course you will be strong.

Youbei's general army is 500,000! Among them, 300,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry.

5.5 The 200,000 infantry are generally used to garrison major cities and belong to the garrison.

As for the 300,000 cavalry, 100,000 are stationed in Yunzhou. After all, it belongs to the grassland. In the north, there are not only the remnants of the four tribes of the grassland, but also threats from other countries.

Therefore, what Youbei can use is still the 200,000 Youbei cavalry.

However, the difference from the beginning is that the Youbei Iron Cavalry has been established for several years now, and its rich experience in the Southern and Northern Wars can be called an elite in all battles.

Compared with when he first fought against the four tribes of the grassland, he was a little stronger, so even with 200,000 Youbei cavalry, Lu Qing is confident to sweep the world.

Of course, it is limited to sweeping the world, and controlling it is not enough.

However, the population of Youbei is not enough, and 500,000 troops is the limit in Lu Qing's heart. If there are more, some people's families will be destroyed, after all, war will kill people.

No matter how many recruits there are, it will be those only sons and the like.

Therefore, if Lu Qing wanted to recruit more soldiers, he had to wait until the Central Plains was in chaos and countless victims of disasters flowed into Youzhou.

One day, when Lu Qing holds a million soldiers in his hands, the world should change.

On this day, Lu Qing was accompanying Diao Chan and Cai Yan in the palace. They hadn't held their wedding yet.

Because the idea in Lu Qing's heart is to wait until one day he ascends to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and then hold a grand wedding.

"Report to the lord, the chief assistant, and the minister of military aircraft are all waiting outside."

Listening to the servant girl's words, Lu Qing nodded, then nodded to Diao Chan and Cai Yan, and then strode away.

He knew that the chaos in the Central Plains had begun, and he, Youbei, was bound to join in.

As soon as he entered the hall, Guo Jia couldn't wait to say.

"Report to the lord, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde issued a coercive edict, calling on people with lofty ideals to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty."

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Lu Qing's eyes lit up, has it finally started?
