1203 Although that day may have changed the world
Guo Peng is very happy that Guo Jin has already started to think about these issues under his guidance.
But he also felt helpless because even he didn't know how far the Wei Empire could reach in the future.
Now he is still alive, his power is at its peak, but it is still dark under the light.
The waste brother's family broke out tens of thousands of acres of land under his nose, but he didn't know.
The spy system, which was proud to monitor the world, was as if it was blind, and he was so angry that he almost ordered a major cleanup of the entire Linzi Camp system.
There are really many problems.
Solve one, then come out, solve one, and then come out, and the only thing that has not betrayed or let down his trust is the rural system and the militia system.
The excellent grassroots greatly reduced the cost of suppressing the rebellion of the Wei Empire, giving Guo Peng an advantage in this great rebellion.
However, when he was still alive, he had already taken over the land in the villages of military farms. Who knows whether it will become more common in the future, so that the rural system will be completely scrapped?
Time may be long or short, fifty years, or one hundred years, and in the end, it is a place you cannot see or a future you cannot see.
That is an unchangeable future.
He can't do it, Guo Jin can't do it either.
So he rubbed Guo Jin's head.
"Don't think so much. Since there is a problem, there will definitely be answers. Maybe it's not the present, or maybe it's a more distant future, but these problems can eventually be solved."
"Really?"
Guo Jin expressed doubts.
"Yes, sure."
Guo Peng has no doubt at all.
Although that day may have been changed, the Wei Empire had long disappeared into the dust of history and became a joke for later generations after dinner.
But it will definitely be solved, and he firmly believes it.
A few days later, Guo Peng received the good news from Wuguan to Zhao Yun's troops.
Sixty thousand powerful rebels in Nanyang County have been completely defeated, the siege of Wancheng has been untied, and the guards have begun a comprehensive liquidation in Nanyang County in accordance with Guo Peng's order.
In short, it's killing.
Nanyang County was the hometown of the former Han Emperor. Its population was the most prosperous, with a total of 500,000 households and 2.5 million people.
Including the population hidden by the powerful tribes, there will be no problem with the estimated number of 3.5 million to 4 million people.
A population of this size was invaded by the Yellow Turban Army in the late Han Dynasty, and later stormed by Yuan Shu, and its population and economy were hit.
Later, Liu Biao went north to occupy Nanyang and restored Nanyang's vitality. The population of Nanyang County slowly recovered. When the Wei army went south and quickly occupied Nanyang County, the total population of Nanyang County was about 2 million.
According to statistics afterwards, the registered population of Nanyang County is about one million, and the rest are probably the population that is taken for themselves by the powerful tribes, and the number will be greater or less.
The powerful people controlled more people than the government controlled, which was not uncommon in the late Han Dynasty.
And this is not surprising at all in Nanyang County, which almost completely retains the rules of the late Han Dynasty, and is very easy to understand.
Therefore, the number of registered population in Nanyang County has slightly decreased, and it is understandable that tax revenue has been continuously reduced.
In this way, we can slightly guess how many people are plundered and hidden.
After Zhao Yun annihilated the powerful rebels, he quickly sent people to raid the powerful manors in various places, killing them on a large scale, flattening the manors on a large scale, and mobilizing militias from Yingchuan County, Yuzhou and Runan County to assist in the fight.
The two counties mobilized more than 20,000 militias to obey Zhao Yun's orders and launched a fierce liquidation operation in Nanyang County with Zhao Yun.
They flattened the huge number of powerful households entrenched in Nanyang County one by one and cleaned up one by one.
The powerful and powerful households who participated in the rebellion were killed and their family property was confiscated. The powerful households who did not participate in the rebellion were also liquidated indiscriminately and all their family property was seized.
Anyway, the excuses are the same, rebellion and death will be unforgivable.
The emperor's title of righteousness is so easy to use.
While this indiscriminate liquidation operation was launched vigorously, the liquidation operation in Nanjun was also launched vigorously.
On the way to attack Jiangling, the Nanjun rebels were all annihilated by Zhu Ling and Guo Lie's main troops in Dangyang County.
They have a large number of people, but they are mixed with fish and dragons, and their equipment is good, and they are also quite mixed, so overall they are just a miscellaneous army.
The Wei army in Jiangling Camp was at least an elite force who had experienced many battles. It was not that difficult to deal with these miscellaneous fish troops. After a wave of charge and confrontation, they destroyed their military formations, followed by pursuit, massacre, and one-sidedly.
Zhu Ling pressed the formation, Guo Lie rushed directly to the rebel central army formation with cavalry, and in one go, he destroyed their central army formation, wrapped the core figure of the opponent's troops, and swallowed it up in one breath.
So soon, the rebels were wiped out. Zhu Ling and Guo Lie cooperated tacitly and won a great victory, and then they also felt that they were still unsatisfied.
The other party seemed to have a huge momentum, which means that there were many people. With the same number of people, it was difficult to deal with the militia.
The rebels attacking Jiangxia County and Runan County were united by local militia and could not get out of the circle. The sound was loud and it was actually useless.
Seeing such a scene, Cai Mao felt that it was a crime for him to suspect that Zhu Ling would be wiped out for a moment.
How is that possible?
How could the Wei army, who was invincible in the world, suffer a loss in the face of such a miscellaneous rebel?
Perhaps the Wei army has been the ceiling of the world's military power for a long time and cannot be surpassed. If there is anything that can surpass the Wei army's military power, it is already the time for the Wei Empire to be in turmoil compared to that time.
So the rebellion in Jingzhou was quelled, the powerful rebel forces in Jingzhou were defeated, and Zhu Ling immediately decided to start a liquidation.
Cai Mao was a little surprised to learn that Zhu Ling was going to liquidate the powerful men in Nanjun.
"General, should you report this matter to His Majesty before making a decision?"
"Isn't it natural for the rebels to rebel and rebel, and after quelling, punishing the rebels? What's the doubt about this? If the liquidation is not carried out, the rebels and rebels will not be punished. Then Jingzhou will still be in wartime, and we will have the final say."
Zhu Ling answered decisively.
Guo Lie also expressed absolute support.
This left Cai Mao speechless.
Once the wartime state is entered, the local supreme military commander can exercise his highest authority, and the administrative chief needs to cooperate fully and cannot compete with him for power and profit or drag him back.
Not to mention Zhu Ling, Guo Lie is also Guo Peng's confidant.
Guo Lie was a servant and grew up together since childhood. He is a hardcore player. Guo Peng placed him in Jingzhou, so that he could be arrogant and do good deeds. If he went against him, he was afraid that he didn't die fast enough.
Cai Mao was responsible for this rebellion, and now he dared not say anything.
It’s just because of his class attributes that he is a little scared and a little scared about liquidation.
He was worried that the liquidation would be counted on him.
Zhu Ling knew what Cai Mao was worried about, and after being tough, he comforted him. The Cai family firmly stood on the side of the court, so he would never be implicated, but would be taken care of.
Just accept the land of Qingzhang, and there are no other requirements.
Cai Mao didn't say anything else.
Cai Mao didn't say anything, and the Jingzhou officials below who had barely escaped from the intrusion naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Many local officials from Nanyang County and Nanjun also participated in this rebellion, and gave the rebels a lot of help from both open and secretly. These people obviously could not escape the liquidation.
After this wave of liquidation, it seems that Jingzhou, whose Jingzhou is, has become a foregone conclusion.
So Zhu Ling and Guo Lie's settlement began vigorously.
Chapter completed!
