My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

While vigorously developing the Martial Arts Research Institute, Chen Chu also vigorously developed the civilian handicraft industry, not only opening many handicraft workshops in the name of the government, but also encouraging private businessmen to set up workshops. In order to increase the enthusiasm of merchants to set up factories, Chen Chu took many measures, for example, when a large caravan with a factory wanted to transport goods over long distances, Chen Chu would send a northern army to protect them along the way. In troubled times, the temptation to send troops to protect this condition is very great. In response to this, almost all the businessmen opened workshops.

In fact, in the beginning, many merchants set up workshops solely so that the Northern Army could send troops to protect their goods.

But as the factories were up and running, many businessmen found that the products produced on a large scale through the factories were cheaper and more profitable, so the merchants changed their initial ideas and began to carefully run the factories. Among them, the largest scale and the largest number of factories are Li Tai, who is very closely related to the Northern Army, and Li Tai has moved the whole family to Bingzhou after tasting the sweetness, firstly, in order to better develop the workshop in Bingzhou, and secondly, because Li Tai is more confident in the situation in Bingzhou under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

With the vigorous development of various factories in Bingzhou, the financial revenue of the Northern Army has risen one by one. It is precisely because of this that the Northern Expeditionary Army can afford the expenses of hundreds of thousands of troops in one state. However, even if the financial revenue of the Northern Expeditionary Army increased rapidly, it would be quite difficult to maintain such a large army at present.

By the end of the Battle of the Clouds, the finances of the Northern Army had reached a terrifying peak, and if the financial problems were not resolved as soon as possible, the finances of the Northern Army were bound to collapse within a few months. The ripple effects are very dangerous.

If it weren't for the previous harvest of the Northern Army in Luoyang, the finances of the Northern Army would have collapsed.

In order to solve the financial problem, the Northern Army must capture Guanzhong as soon as possible, relying on Dong Zhuo's reserves in Meiwu, which is enough to last the Northern Army for more than two years.

Although the series of measures implemented by Chen Chu in Bingzhou were beneficial to the people, they touched the interests of the traditional noble class.

For this reason, the scholar class had sent representatives to talk to Chen Chu more than once, and they hoped that Chen Chu would not change the law of his ancestors. However, Chen Chu did not accommodate the scholar class, how to do a series of policies, and how to do it.

After experiencing the events in Luoyang, Chen Chu understood that no matter what he did, he would not be able to win the support of the scholar class like Yuan Shao, and at this level, Chen Chu was simply unable to compete with Yuan Shao, a prince born in the family, due to his birth defects. Chen Chu believed that instead of such a thankless effort, it was better to change course, and since he could not win the support of the noble class, he simply fostered a social force tied to himself, which was the merchant and the merchant-like scholars, handicraftsmen, and factory owners.

Therefore, after Chen Chu seceded and annexed the state, many of the policies adopted were to promote the development of industry and commerce. Many of these measures were unthinkable in this era and were very deviant in the eyes of the world.

In fact, Chen Chu has already quite accommodated the traditional concepts of this era, otherwise, I am afraid that many people will be scared to death.

The series of administrative measures proposed by Chen Chu are very effective, and the state is changing and developing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Lu Su, Xu Shu and other strategists admired the five-body throw. Everyone thinks that Chen Chu, the lord, is so unfathomable and elusive.

However, although Bingzhou embarked on the road of rapid development under the guidance of a series of decrees promulgating Chen Chu that integrated modern concepts, Bingzhou was not without hidden worries, and those scholars whose vested interests were damaged hated Chen Chu and the Northern Army, and these people would sooner or later bring trouble to Bingzhou and the Northern Army. But Chen Chu can't touch them now for various reasons.

Since Emperor Ling of Han was kidnapped by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, his condition has become more and more serious. On July 3 of that year, Emperor Ling of Han fell ill and died. This year is the 1** year of A.D., which is the so-called sixth year of Zhongping. In this regard, it is consistent with the death date of Emperor Ling of Han in the previous history.

The news of Emperor Ling's death soon spread all over the world, and all the princes issued proclamations condemning Dong Zhuo for forcing the emperor to death. However, the reaction of the princes was nothing more, and no one sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo because of this. There are many sour and rotten literati, crying all day and night, as if their own Lao Tzu is dead.

Some of them frequently visited the princes in various places, strongly asking the princes to send troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and even did not hesitate to force each other to die for this.

The princes everywhere were annoyed by these sour and rotten literati, and finally had to avoid these people one after another.

Chen Chu, who stayed in Bingzhou, was also uneasy, Chen Chu was so noisy that he couldn't help it, and finally simply took Rui'er and Diao Chan to Taihang Mountain to play under the protection of Dian Wei.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo established Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's middle son, King Chen Liu, as the emperor, which is the so-called Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

According to tradition, the new emperor ascended the throne to grant amnesty to the world and promote a number of courtiers.

On the eve of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ascending the throne, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru discussed something in the palace of Meiwu.

"Tomorrow the new emperor ascends the throne, I want to promote Guo Yan, Li Dao and other generals, what does Zhong Jian think?" Dong Zhuo asked Li Rudao.

Li Ru saluted Dong Zhuo with a fist and replied; "It should be like this, Guo Yan, Li Dao and others will follow the Taishi for many years, and they should indeed be rewarded greatly. However, Confucianism hopes that Taishi will promote one more person.

Dong Zhuo was very happy to hear that Li Ru agreed with his approach, and when he heard that Li Ru wanted to protect one person, he immediately promised: "There is no problem." But I don't know who Zhong Jian wants to protect?

Li Ru did not answer immediately, but said: "This person is famous, but he has a gap with the lord.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Who is Zhong Jian talking about?" "。 Dong Zhuo thought that Li Ru was talking about someone around him, but if there was someone around him who had a gap with him, he should have already taken the other party's life!?

Li Ru then said to Dong Zhuo: "This person is Chen Chu, the general of the expedition to the north.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his angry face instantly crawled all over his fat face, only to hear him say angrily: "Zhong Jian, don't you know that this person is my great enemy?" If it weren't for this person, where would it be so easy for the Kwantung princes to enter Luoyang! How could I, Dong Zhuo, live in a corner of Guanzhong! What is your purpose in asking me to show favor to this man now?

Dong Zhuo glared at Li Ru, and there seemed to be a trace of murderous intent in his fish-like eyes.

In the face of Dong Zhuo's raging anger, Li Ru was still calm.

After Dong Zhuo sent a fire, Li Ru continued: "Now all the princes can be said to be our enemies, if this situation cannot be broken, if Confucianism says a big disrespectful word, sooner or later we will die without a place to be buried!"

Dong Zhuo was still glaring at Li Ru, but there was already a look of worry in his angry face. Dong Zhuo has actually been worried in his heart that the princes will join forces again.

This time Emperor Ling of Han died, Dong Zhuo was extremely worried that the princes would use this as an excuse to raise troops to fight. Fortunately, the battle of Jizhou involved too much power among the princes, and the princes were powerless to take care of it for a while.

Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo's expression was somewhat relaxed, so he said again: "Today, the Northern Army is the strongest!" Not long ago, it quelled the civil strife of the Southern Xiongnu and defeated the 200,000 army of Xianbei, and the strength of the army is unparalleled in the world!

The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth trembled and said, "Since you know this, why do you want me to promote Chen Chu?" Don't you know that once Chen Chu's reputation is raised, he can be justified in many things?

Li Ru smiled and said: "The so-called wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind." It is precisely because of the strength of the northern army that he will inevitably attract the jealousy of the princes. Chen Chu retreated from Luoyang at the beginning, but he was actually forced away by the princes. To a certain extent, the situation of the Northern Expeditionary Army is actually the same as ours.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo understood a little, so his expression eased a lot, and he motioned for Li Ru to continue.

So Li Ru continued: "We can use the name of the emperor to promote Chen Chu's official position, so as to show favor to Chen Chu and tie Chen Chu. Chen Chu must be in a hurry to seize the two states of Youji now, but he has some scruples and does not dare to act rashly. I believe he is very interested in working with our association. "

At this point, if Dong Zhuo still doesn't understand, then Dong Zhuo shouldn't be confused.

I saw Dong Zhuoyu's eyes light up suddenly, and he continued in an excited tone: "I understand everything Zhong Jian is planning!" Once united with the Northern Army, our army will have the opportunity to return to Luoyang, and then it is not impossible to win the world!

Dong Zhuo was very excited, and his fat face turned red from excitement. Re-entering Luoyang, and then winning the world, this is something he has always dreamed of. Originally, he thought that all this was impossible, but he didn't want it to suddenly become so distant.

Li Ru nodded with a smile, and then continued: "Although the success of this plan is very high, we can't help but guard against the Northern Army.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning, and sighed in his heart, he didn't want all this to be variable. So he said urgently: "What does Zhong Jian mean by this? Could it be that the Northern Army will hit our attention?

Li Ru thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Although our Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to guarantee that Chen Chu will not hit us with his ideas! Chen Chu is very scheming and ruthless, he is like a wolf, if he thinks we are the right prey, he will pounce on us!

"Is there a way for Zhong Jian to solve this problem?" Dong Zhuo asked expectantly.

Li Ru smiled and replied: "Actually, this matter is simple, as long as we send heavy troops to hold the Great Wall of Beidi County, Chen Chu will have no chance to take advantage of it!" If Chen Chu's army wants to enter our Guanzhong, it must start from Shangjun or Shuofang, attack Beidi County through the Hetao area, and then move south. But now the Hetao area is chaotic, the Qiang people, Xianbei people, and Karasuma people all have a lot of power in this area, we can buy a few of the big forces for our use, if the northern army really comes to attack, we can let those barbarians in the Hetao rob the logistics of the northern army, in fact, there is no need for us to instigate it, they will do the same. Logistics could not be guaranteed, and no matter how powerful the Northern Army was, it could not last long, and finally had to withdraw. "
