Chapter 38, send troops to suppress the rebellion

After listening to Zhang Gong's words, everyone whispered. They all gritted their teeth and said that Gongsun Du was really a villain. Unexpectedly, he treated innocent people like this. Some people directly suggested to fight against him and directly erase him from this era. However, some people hate it and still have a clear mind. Now Gongsun Du has sent troops, which is not a good name, and there is no name for a teacher. Moreover, the Gongsun family is huge and the largest power in Youzhou. Now it offends them, which is not good for our army, and it is not recommended to make a big deal of things.

Zuzu Zhao saw that the voices of everyone's discussion and scolding slowly subsided, and then said quietly, "It turns out that you are forced to do this. Seeing your heart of benevolence and filial piety, I will spare you immortality today. However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. From now on, your salary will be deducted in March, your position as the commander of the battalion will be removed, and you will be reduced to the guard of the battalion gate. In addition, there will be any objection to the military stick 50?

"Thank you for your kindness, Zhang Gong has no objection." Zhang Gong said.

"That's it. Come on, bring them in." Zu Zhao suddenly shouted outside.

Everyone is puzzled about who Zu Zhao is going to bring in. I only heard the messy footsteps outside, light and heavy, front and back, including the sound of jingling, as if there were some metal accessories on my body.

Everyone looked at the door in a daze, and Zhang Gong looked at the outside puzzledly. When the door opened, he saw a group of old and young men coming in. Zhang Gong's iron-boned real men. In the face of people who had never frowned with swords and shadows, his face was full of tears at this moment, because he saw that his family had left. Come in.

When Zhang Gong's family saw Zhang Gong, they were also surprised and excited. After being a little stunned, dozens of people in the family cried, which made many people present shed tears. Zu Zhao also looked at it with sour eyes and couldn't help thinking of his family.

After Zhang Gong's family suffered, Qi Qi knelt down and saluted Zu Zhao and thanked him. Zu Zhao hurriedly got up to help them up and said, "Gongsun Du is not kind, how can I be unjust?" You have followed me for many years. Can I not understand your heart? In fact, I have long known that Gongsun Du is playing tricks. In this Liaodong region, in addition to me and Wen Chou, I are also enemies with the Yellow Turban Rebel Party, and the rest is conflicts with Gongsun Du. At the beginning, I searched the map from the two details and saw the secret routes marked on it. I knew that only you five soldiers knew these routes. Therefore, once again, I want to tell you that in fact, I have sent people to monitor you from the beginning to the detailed work.

The five soldiers looked at each other and said, "General, for the overall situation, it is inevitable to do so."

Zu Zhao saw that they could understand, so he did not sell well, but said to Zhang Gong, "Although you are forced, you have finally let go of your sins. What should be punished must be punished."

Zhang Gong said, "The general rescued my little one and gave me immortality. Zhang Gong has nothing to repay. He is willing to listen to the general's punishment and has no complaints. In the future, Zhang Gong will definitely follow the general to the death."

Zu Zhao said with a stern face: "This punishment has deducted your salary and salary for three months, but now your family has been issued three months' salary and salary. You have been removed from the position of commander of the middle battalion and demoted to the guard of the battalion, but now is the time when the army is important person, and you are still acting as the commander of the battalion. Now the situation is uncertain, and the world It's hard to think about it. You will do a few times with your fifty military sticks first, and then commit crimes and make contributions. If there are merit, the fifty military sticks will be avoided. If you make mistakes again, the new and old sins will be counted together.

"Thank you, General, Zhang Gong will definitely strive to make contributions to the general's kindness." Zhang Gong bowed to thank him.

Everyone has no objection to Zu Zhao's decision, which seems to be punished but not punished. They know that all this is no longer Zhang Gong, and there is no mother Chen Dazuo. Later, when Zhang Gong and others learned that Zu Zhao was using materials to ask Gongsun Zan for help in person, they all felt that Zu Zhao was an absolutely worth following, which strengthened their determination to follow Zu Zhao. In the future, it will be self-talking to kill the enemy.

After Zhang Gong took his family out, the next step was the punishment for the detailed work. Now everything is known, and there is no need to interrogate them. Some people advocate killing, while others advocate staying in prison.

Zu Zhao told Liang Xizuo that he had investigated their background and knew that they were not small, single, and had been going east and west to do some extremely dangerous intelligence work for Gongsun Du. Now Zu Zhao gives them two ways, one is to let them go back. As for whether Gongsun Du will kill them or continue to send them to other places to do such work, he doesn't care. The second is that they stay here for Zu Zhao. They can easily remember the route and not disturb in the face of danger. Zu Zhao needs such people. They can choose to leave or stay.

The two looked at each other and thought that Gongsun Du had been asking them to do such a spying activities. If they failed, they wanted to fight and kill, but there was no reward if they succeeded. Moreover, after Gongsun Du got the information, he just made a small fight and did something to threaten others to obtain small benefits. He felt that the information he desperately got for him. It's really not worth being used by him so easily as a small fight. Now that Zu Zhao does not kill them, he still has to keep them. Naturally, he is grateful. He suddenly kneels to the ground and promises to stay and conspire with Zu Zhao. In the future, he will definitely die and repay them with all his strength.

Everyone was happy to settle the incident, and everyone's heart to follow Zu Zhao was much stronger. Zu Zhao was also very happy to see that everyone was willing to follow him. The next step is the stage of stable development. All kinds of agriculture, animal husbandry and metallurgy must develop. The army does not have armor weapons, etc., so it cannot be called an army.

Now we have to build a variety of wrong, and what we lack is all kinds of metals. Compared with the developed metallurgical technology in this era, it is the mining and utilization of iron ore. Now Ma'anshan iron ore has been launched, but the scale is not large and it can't meet the demand at all. However, it is not enough to build arrows. How can we fight? ne.

The county guard was promoted. At the beginning, Zu Zhao acted as the county guard of Liaodong. Zu Zhao vigorously developed various occupations, and he also managed to expand the chamber of commerce and spread the caravan directly to the Western Regions. In this way, it also brought him more grain production varieties and other items exchanged, which greatly enriched the life varieties in Liaodong region.

Zu Zhao has always made the best use of everything, and he has placed every capable person in an important position. Chen Youzhi, a cold-faced silver gun, was responsible for forming the special forces he envisioned, and was trained by Chen Youzhi, Feng Luoxue and Zu Zhao in turn. Feng Luoxue is responsible for the assassination project, and Chen Youzhi is responsible for the collaborative combat ability and individual combat ability. Zu Zhao naturally let them know the importance of their existence and the various tasks he will face in the future.

while Su De and Cai Wenji were responsible for other civilian work in the county's commerce and taxation, and Ma Yuan became the northern captain of Liaodong County, directly under the management of Zhang Yuan and Zu Zhao. The rest of the individuals were adapted to the positions. Especially the members of the ancestral family, Zu Zhao naturally handed over some important management powers to them, and the growth of the family is very beneficial to him. Everything is well arranged, and the next thing to do is to train, breed, plant and expand the terrain, but there must be people, so Zu Zhao has been studying how to get more right people to come to Liaodong. He has discussed with his subordinates many times and established a series of reward stimulation mechanisms, hoping that this can attract more people.

At that time, it was the period of millet planting. Zu Zhao ordered all counties to vigorously plant millet without leaving any remaining fields. Moreover, he stressed that the millet planted by the people will be reduced by half on the basis of the original tax reduction in Liaodong County. At that time, the people will be free to trade and no longer collect any tax burden. Other foreigners, if they come to Liaodong County to open up wasteland for planting, not only do they not collect taxes, but also officials are responsible for distributing COFCO, and only need to pay a small amount of land rental fees when receiving the goods.

Under such a reward system, people responded and planted vigorously. In the past, many free Yamada fields were developed. Most of the people in other places, especially the refugees displaced by the yellow scarf, poured into Liaodong and accepted the government's COFCO for planting.

Zu Zhao was overjoyed that special water conservancy officials went to various places to be responsible for water conservancy restoration, military-civilian cooperation, and greatly promote water conservancy, so that planting was not affected by water shortage.

Then when Liaodong was engaged in development, Zhao Ci of Jiangxia County rebelled against Han and killed Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang County. The army went all the way north and directly invaded Liaodong. Soon, many counties in Liaodong County were occupied by thieves, and the grain reserves of the county were all occupied by them. Most importantly, Zu Zhao's water conservancy project had not been repaired. Jianhao wine was damaged, which made him extremely angry.

The county guards in other places retreated one after another and did not dare to resist, which made the thieves bigger and bigger. By the time they entered the jurisdiction of Zuzhao, there were already tens of thousands of troops, and many people kept corresponding, because the thieves occupied a lot of food and fodder, and those who did not have enough to eat turned to them one after another in order to have a bowl of rice.

Zu Zhao was furious and reported to the court as a county guard, hoping to lead troops to eliminate the thief. The court also knew that the thief made the opposite. Now, since Zu Zhao took the initiative to ask for war, the court immediately worshipped Zu Zhao as a rebellious general, lived in the fourth grade, and sent 15,000 troops for him to call.

With the army and horses of the imperial court and his own Liaodong army, Zu Zhao had an army of 30,000 people, which was comparable to the thief army. However, this is all his army, but it can't be all on. Now the northern forces are staring at Liaodong and have to guard against it. Sun Du DC, the county's public, has always wanted to add chaos, so Zu Zhao can only take part of the army to attack.

Zhang Yuan took the initiative to ask for his life, willing to be a pioneer and lead 500 troops. Zu Zhao refused his request. Zhang Yuan was a very mature general. He must guard the rear and not let the northern barbarians take advantage of it. Zu Zhao took Ma Yuan as the vanguard and Su De as the military, and the army set out magnificently. Chen Youzhi also wanted to go on an expedition together, but Zu Zhao asked him to stay in the county to manage the large and small affairs of the county, that is, to guard the county.

Chen Youzhi knew that the task he left behind was no better than the march to see him off. Finally, he agreed to deal with the things in the county. Now Liaodong County is the headquarters of Zu Zhao. He must not let internal chaos. The things he is responsible for can be idle. If there is a rebellion in the north, he must also have Support, if there is an accident in Zu Zhao, he must take advantage of the situation to make judgment and support. Because he was an all-round talent, Zu Zhao left him in the county and was responsible for all scheduling.

After the distribution, Ma Yuan was the pioneer, Zu Ping was responsible for escorting grain and fodder, while Zu Zhao and Su De led a large army to the war zone, which was bound to pacify Zhao Ci's chaos in one fell swoop. Zhao Ci also knew that Zu Zhao sent troops to suppress him and had long been ready to fight. As soon as Zu Zhao's army arrived, it would be a battle between male and female. Moreover, he has set up an ambush on the way of Zu Zhao's army, and he has to give them a majesty first.
