grateful.

On a cold winter day, Jingu Garden was also shrouded in misty white mist.

Within the universe, the floating cold air froze the water vapor in the sky into ice, turning it into goose-feather-like snow that drifted down.

Wang Sheng tightened his thick clothes and added an official robe on top.

Even though he was fully armed, when Wang Sheng walked out of the door, the chill still penetrated through his clothes and penetrated into his body.

I have to say that going to court early on a cold winter day is really a torture.

certainly.

Being able to attend the morning court is of course a symbol of power.

A cold winter day is not a good thing for this devastated country.

Recently, many people have starved to death around Luoyang, and there are more and more fights over them.

And this is the land of Gyeonggi Province. If it were another place, the tragedy would probably be many times worse than in Luoyang.

The people are like docile sheep. They are like this when they are full.

But when they don't have enough to eat, when they can't survive, these docile sheep will also put on wolf skins and become extremely bloodthirsty. Some people, after putting on wolf skins, become real wolves.

There was one thing that Sima Yu didn't do well.

In the past month, Sima Yu has been completely consolidating his power, taking important positions in the court into his own hands, and at the same time liquidating Jia Nanfeng's family and those who have offended him before.

This kind of cleaning is very extensive.

It is as close as Luoyang and as far away as the prefectures and counties.

Sima Yu is the emperor. If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.

In addition, although Sima Yu liquidated many people, he also promoted many people.

With the coming and going, the imperial power naturally made his power more stable.

As an emperor and a manipulative emperor, Sima Yu was qualified.

But for the common people, Sima Yu's emperor was not very qualified.

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.

But the so-called amnesty is nothing more than a small amount of money.

He didn't omit the real big head.

Afterwards, various names were set up to collect taxes.

This is the reason why people starve to death in the capital of Luoyang.

Luoyang's taxes have become heavier.

In other places, taxes have also become heavier.

The money Sima Yu received was used to reorganize the military.

He was always on guard against King Qi, especially after King Qi blatantly disobeyed his orders, Sima Yu became even more anxious.

As his actions become bigger and bigger, the burdens on the people naturally become more and more heavy.

In Sima Yu's view, he only collected a small amount of taxes, which was not worth mentioning to the people.

But actually

The emperor wanted money, and so did the officials and aristocratic families.

The emperor and officials from aristocratic families each received one share, that is, three shares.

The originally small tax amount was no longer a small amount after it was tripled.

This winter is not going to be easy

Wang Sheng sighed in his heart.

Now that Hongnong County has been destroyed, I am afraid that the Western Expedition will be put on the agenda immediately.

War is not that easy to fight.

War has always been a sport that consumes wealth.

This is also the reason why we, the Greater China, value peace.

fight

It's too wasteful of money and lives.

In wartime, not only are soldiers needed to go out, but logistical support is also needed.

If the logistics support is provided by the common people, each civilian can carry six buckets of rice, and the soldiers themselves can carry five days of dry food. One civilian can supply one soldier, which can last for eighteen days at a time.

Six buckets of rice, two liters per person per day, for two people for eighteen days.

If you want to count the return journey, you can only go forward nine days.

If two civilians support one soldier, they can last for sixteen days at a time.

For one stone and two buckets of rice, three people need to eat six liters a day.

Eight days later, one of the peasants had eaten all the rice he carried, so he was given six days of rations and allowed to return first.

For the next eighteen days, the two of them ate four liters of rice every day.

If we want to count the return journey, we can only travel thirteen days forward.

Eat six liters of rice every day for the first eight days, and four liters of rice every day for the next five days and the return trip.

Three civilians can supply one soldier, which can last for thirty-one days at a time.

Three people carry eight liters of rice for one stone. For the first six and a half days, four people eat eight liters of rice per day. Subtract one peasant and give him four days of rations. For the next seventeen days, three people eat six liters per day. minus one more

Farmer, give him rations for nine days. For the last eighteen days, two people will eat, four liters per day.

If you want to count the return journey, you can only go forward sixteen days.

Eat eight liters a day for the first six and a half days, six liters a day for the middle seven days, eight liters a day for the last eleven days and the return journey, six liters a day for the middle seven days, and four liters a day for the last eleven days and the return journey.

Three civilians supply one soldier, which has reached the limit.

If an army of 100,000 people is to be dispatched, and one-third of the baggage is taken up, and only 70,000 soldiers can go into battle, 300,000 civilians will be needed to transport food. It will be very difficult to expand the scale.

Soldiers must be sent to escort the civilians who are transporting food back, because there will be deaths and illnesses during the transportation, and the reduced food supply must be used to escort the soldiers.

The amount of six buckets of rice carried by each person was also calculated based on the total number of civilians, because the captain among them could not carry it himself and was responsible for fetching water. The woodcutter could only carry half of it, and the loss they had had to be spread among everyone.

In addition, there will be dead and sick people, and what they carry must be shared by everyone. In fact, each person carries more than six measures.

Therefore, the army does not allow freeloaders. It is not enough for one freeloader and two or three people to provide for him.

If it is transported by livestock, a camel can carry three stones, a horse or mule can carry one stone and five buckets, and a donkey can carry one stone.

Compared with manual labor, although it can carry much more and costs less, if it cannot be grazed or fed in time, the animals will become thin and die.

When an animal dies, the food it carries must also be thrown away. Therefore, compared with human labor, each has its own gains and losses.

Especially now that it is winter and fodder is hard to find, this method of transporting grain by livestock is basically useless.

During the Battle of Chibi, Boss Cao claimed that he had an army of one million. To be honest, it was about the same. If you include the logisticians, there might actually be one million.

Most of these Hu troops in Qi Wannian relied on fighting to support fighting. Their supplies were simple but unstable.

They are not fighting on their own territory, and they do not care about their own territory.

The Han army wants to protect its own territory, so naturally it cannot be a bandit.

certainly

Not entirely so.

Soldiers can solve the supply problem "on the spot", which means grabbing food from the local people.

long distance attack

Spending billions of dollars.

Wang Sheng could imagine the fierce debate in the court this morning.

"My lord, in the afternoon Wei Shubao invited your lord to go to the White Horse Temple to enjoy the snow. I heard that the Marquis of Xunyang also had many talents from the Langya Wang family who were also with him."

"Um."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

He is now the Marquis of Guangyuan and the Founding Marquis of the country, and as a favorite of the emperor, it is inevitable that he needs to communicate.

It's just that every time I go out to socialize, I meet some troublesome people.

Speaking of words, Wang Sheng now claims to be the best sprayer in the world and the strongest sprayer, so naturally he is not afraid of those people.

Wang Sheng also found it boring to scold him all the time.

but

If there is a Langya Wang family.

Then we can say something else.

"Just go back."

Now Hongxiu is no longer the steward of Jinguyuan. The current steward is an old man sent from the palace by Princess Guangping. He does everything in detail, which makes Wang Sheng feel relieved.

As for Hongxiu who had nothing to do, she naturally did something to help Wang Sheng.

Of course bed heating is also one of them.

We took the bus out of Jinguyuan.

The sky, clouds, mountains and water are all white.

Looking at the snow in the Lake Pavilion now has such an artistic conception.

pity

He did not feel the emotion of losing his country and his family.

The palace arrived in an instant.

When Wang Sheng arrived at the main hall, it was still early, but the voices in the court hall were coming and going, and they were not quiet at all.

If this place was not the Tai Chi Hall, Wang Sheng would have thought it was at the vegetable market!

A group of vegetable sellers wearing official robes.

Amidst the commotion, Wang Sheng came to his seat, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

As a young person, I always stay late every night.

Sometimes one is fine, sometimes two or three are a bit unbearable.

Now that he has time, Wang Sheng doesn't want to quarrel with these people.

However, Wang Sheng wanted to be alone in the world, but he couldn't help himself in the world.

Someone immediately approached Wang Sheng.

This person is none other than Director Wang.

"Marquis Guangyuan, do you know the reason for your morning visit today?"

Hearing Director Wang's voice, Wang Sheng also opened his eyes.

Wang Sheng still has respect for Director Wang.

"I'm afraid Brother Maohong has known about it for a long time. It's Qi Wannian's fault."

Director Wang nodded lightly.

"Hongnong County was destroyed, Huayin and Hu County were looted by Qi Wannian, and Huayin was turned into ruins. This Huayin is the ancestral land of the Yang family in Hongnong. The ancestral land was destroyed. Even if the people evacuated, this

Sometimes I am angry."

Regarding the news, Wang Sheng wanted to know more than Director Wang.

Now the representative of the Yang family in Hongnong is Yang Zhen, who is the founder of Shanggufang.

Inherited Yang Bing's title of Marquis of Beiting.

Of course, Yang Zhen's abilities were not as good as San Yang's, so even though her family background was astonishing and she belonged to a high-ranking family, she did not get mixed up in the court.

but

The centipede is dead but not stiff.

The reason why the Hongnong Yang family can be said to be a powerful family is its heritage, origin, and complex network of relationships.

According to the "Tongzhi Clan Brief", the Hongnong Yang family is a descendant of the Yangyu family in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The "Yang Family" article in "Clan Strategy" says: "Uncle Xiang gave birth to Bo Shi, who was named Shiwo, and took the city as his surname, Yang Shi. Party to Qi Ying, Ying offended Jin, and destroyed the Yangyu family. Uncle Xiang's descendants fled to

The Immortal Valley of Huashan Mountain, so I live in Huayin."

According to records in "Historical Records: Jin Family" and "New Tang Book: Prime Minister Lineage", in the twelfth year of Qinggong in Jin Dynasty, Qi Sheng, the retainer of Qi Ying, the grandson of Jin Dynasty official Qi Rou, exchanged wives with Wu Zang. Qi Ying discovered that he

The two were imprisoned.

A doctor named Xun Shu took bribes from Qi Sheng and sued Qi Ying for arresting people without permission. As a result, Qi Ying was arrested by Duke Qing of Jin Dynasty.

Yang Shiwo was a good friend of Qi Ying. He believed that Jin Qinggong was unfair, so he helped the Qi family kill Qi Sheng and Wu Zang in anger.

Duke Qing of Jin was furious. Several other princes of Jin were trying to weaken the power of the Duke, so they took the opportunity to kill Qi Ying and Yang Shiwo, and attacked and destroyed the Qi family and the Yangyu family, and divided the Qi family's land into seven

County, the land of the Yangzi family is divided into three counties, which serve as food towns for the descendants of these officials.

The descendants of Sheeptongue fled to Huashan Fairy Valley to live in seclusion in Huayin. In the Han Dynasty, Huayin belonged to Hongnong County and was called the Yang family. This was the historical process of the Hongnong Yang family migrating from Shanxi to Huayin, that is,

The origin of the Yang family in Hongnong.

The Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and the "Qiying Difficulty" disappeared. Without political obstacles, the Yang family developed and grew.

Since Yang Dao left the mountains and forests and re-entered the political stage, for more than ten generations, the Yang family has been an official of the Zhou Dynasty, either as a doctor, a Sima, a Taifu, or a state shepherd.

At the end of Qin Dynasty, Yang Shuo of Huayin led his eight sons to fight with Liu Bang. His sixth son Yang Xi was awarded the title of Marquis of Chiquan for his meritorious service in killing Xiang Yu. The other seven sons were all made generals. Yang Shuo himself was named Taishi: Yang Xi

The fourth generation Sun Yangchang also rose to the rank of prime minister and married Sima Ying, the daughter of Ma Qian of the Taishi Company.

At this time, the Yang family of Hongnong was a minister in the imperial court, with the title of Tonghou, and ten people rode the Zhu Lun, which is known as the "Ten Wheels of the Western Han Dynasty" in history.

Before the age of 50 in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Zhen studied academic classics and set up a museum to teach apprentices. He was called "Kuanxi Confucius" at that time.

Bing, Sun Yangci, and great-grandson Yang Biao all inherited Yang Zhen's legacy. They all reached the rank of Taiwei, and were called "the four generations and three Dukes of the Eastern Han Dynasty" by later generations.

The saying that the Yang family gave birth to Hongnong in the world is not an excuse.

When San Yang died, he gained the sympathy of scholars all over the world. In addition, he was married to a family and had an even closer relationship with the Yang family of Hongnong.

Moreover, today is the Hongnong Yang family's residence that is in trouble. Next time, it might be my family's turn.

If we don't let the emperor take it seriously and solve this matter now, next time, if his family is in trouble, the emperor can just ignore it.

At this time, families all over the world are united as never before.

And this united force, even the emperor, felt like he was floating back and forth on a turbulent river. If he was not careful, he would be overturned by the waves and be thrown into the rolling rapids.

"Brother Maohong, how do you think His Majesty will handle it?" Director Wang suddenly asked.

How to deal with it?

Isn’t this something obvious?

"Your Majesty will never stand idly by."

Of course I won't just sit back and watch.

He didn't dare to stand by and watch.

The Sima family is essentially an aristocratic family.

It's just that this family now has power and is the emperor.

But the political structure of the Western Jin Dynasty was composed of aristocratic families.

The main reason why Sima Yan divided the kings among them was to prevent aristocratic families from seizing power.

"I'm afraid that the Western Expedition will be launched soon."

Qi Wannian had touched the family's rebellion, and for the current emperor Sima Yu, what he wanted was stability, and he also needed the support of the family to fight against King Qi.

At this time, Emperor Sima Yu would try his best to satisfy the family's demands, even if they were excessive.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why the aristocratic family dares to be so unscrupulous.

Wang Sheng and Director Wang didn't chat for long.

Emperor Sima Yu arrived.

Following the high-pitched shouts of the Grand Chamberlain, the Tai Chi Hall suddenly fell silent.

And Sima Yu slowly sat on the dragon chair.

Then, there is the salute.

After the ceremony, today's process also entered.

The emperor spoke first.

"A few days ago, I heard that Qi Wannian had conquered Hongnong County. Hongnong County is in Sili, only a hundred miles away from Luoyang. The thieves are so rampant, and I will not take mercy on him."

Sima Yu made his attitude clear with the first words he spoke.

For the destruction of Huayin, Sima Yu wants Qi Wannian to pay the price!
