Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

After Zhang Yong just returned to his temporary residence, this group of wealthy families in Chengdu, some of which were not even considered wealthy families.

The merchants, who could only be regarded as big merchants, collectively sent a greeting card and many gifts. The meaning was very simple, they just wanted to pay a visit to Zhang Yong.

These big merchants who control the business are married to some wealthy families, but they can only be regarded as reserve forces for the small clan. They have some shops in Sichuan and Sichuan, but they can only be regarded as ordinary merchants.

Not only do these people have to pay taxes on the money they earn, but they also have to pay some to the local elites.

"Do you have anything important to do when you come to see me?" Zhang Yong asked with a smile.

He seemed very amiable, but among the traders and merchants present, there were also some nobles from other places.

But cold sweat broke out on their heads, and some people's legs even started to tremble.

It seems that the killings he caused in Chongqing Mansion did have the desired effect.

"King of Guanzhong, we are waiting, we are waiting, Chengdu Prefecture, Tongchuan Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture, all the aristocratic families discussed it and decided to donate 50% of their land to the King of Guanzhong." A representative came to Zhang Yong. In front of him, he spoke.

The recent killings by Zhang Yong in Chongqing Mansion were too powerful.

Those big local families who were not killed were forced to hand over 80% of their land. If they didn't show any expression, they would be very worried that the King of Guanzhong would raise the butcher's knife!

After all, the land of Sichuan and Shu had not been pacified before, but now the land of Sichuan and Shu has been pacified! The King of Guanzhong is likely to attack them. Instead of doing this, it is better to contribute some land of his own.

Hearing this, Zhang Yong smiled. Good guy, 1% of the land is actually equivalent to 3/ or even half of their family property in disguise.

In ancient times, if these powerful families wanted to make a lot of money, the best way was to rent land to the common people.

Their wealth will grow more and more, while the wealth in the hands of the people will become less and less, and they will even reach the point of being in debt. Once they are in debt, they will have to be sold into slavery.

After being sold into slavery, as long as their children and grandchildren are born, they will be slaves in the hands of these wealthy families and will undergo brainwashing learning from an early age.

Tell them that you can eat such good food. You can live because of the existence of our family, and you must serve the family.

Know how to be grateful, and be grateful again.

Until these people become die-hard members of their family, and even die for the family, they will not frown. This is the true purpose of these noble families.

"You all surrendered, and you have given me some gifts before. I am not a robber, so why would you rob your family property?" Zhang Yong smiled and said.

"So that the King of Guanzhong will know that because we are old and the young people in our family cannot be used for much, these fields are a waste in our hands. If they are not turned into public fields, please don't refuse, King of Guanzhong." An old man stood up. He spoke.

How could they not know the psychology of these rulers? It means taking your reputation and taking your things. Anyway, you can't get them by robbing them. In other words, grabbing requires a proper reason.

"Among you aristocratic families, are there some branches from wealthy families in the south?" Zhang Yong picked up the tea cup in his hand, took a sip gently, and asked.

Some local aristocrats have now handed over 50% of their land. Zhang Yong will not deal with them in the short term, because he has just occupied Sichuan and Shu, and he still needs to stabilize people's hearts.

But if they are branches of the wealthy families from the south, then there is no reason or sympathy. These people must die.

"King Guanzhong, the big families in the south are basically concentrated in Hanzhong or Chongqing Prefecture. Most of the wealthy families in our Sichuan and Shu lands are concentrated in Chengdu Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture, and Tongchuan Prefecture." An old man stood up and said.

There are also wars between these wealthy families, and they all have their own territories, such as Chengdu.

It has been a long time since it experienced the baptism of war, so some very old families have survived under such circumstances.

If some outsiders want to interfere in the interests here, they will be jointly attacked by some wealthy local families in Chengdu, Jiading, and Tongchuan.

Therefore, those forces from the south can only develop in Chongqing, which is close to the south.

Not even many people were left in Hanzhong.

The current situation is that the land of Sichuan and Shu already belongs to the power of the King of Guanzhong, and the Mongolian forces behind the King of Guanzhong are enemies of the Song Dynasty. These people are naturally suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

It was expected that the King of Guanzhong would get rid of them.

"King Guanzhong, we don't have people from the big clans in the south. Please ask the King of Guanzhong to accept these fields."

"I know what you are thinking. Listen to me. I want 50% of your land. I will keep you alive while you wait. You will pay taxes well in the future and don't evade taxes by cheating.

In my land, don't create factions for me, don't train me to die, and don't do anything to make me unhappy. Otherwise, you know the consequences. "Zhang Yong said.

Suppressing the local wealthy forces cannot be accomplished overnight. You have to eat one bite at a time. Now let's collect 50% of their land.

Then gradually weakening their influence and improving their reputation among the people in Sichuan and Sichuan are the top priorities.

"King Guanzhong, please rest assured, we know what to do. We will definitely be honest and honest citizens." A large group of Sichuan and Shu clans knelt on the ground and said.

At this moment, they were sweating profusely, and even their foreheads were covered with cold sweat. Just now, they were afraid that Zhang Yong would just let people slaughter all of them.

Nowadays, there are no officials in Zhang Yong's team like these big clans, and they can't influence the thoughts of the Guanzhong King. As long as they can save their lives, then the Guanzhong King can say whatever they want. There is no way, they simply can't I can't resist!

Fortunately, they belonged to the surrender faction, and the Guanzhong King really had no reason to kill them. If he had followed the example of the Chongqing gang in resisting, he might have moved his head by now.

"Thank you so much for not killing the King of Guanzhong! One more thing. In a few days, we want to hold a large banquet for the King of Guanzhong. I wonder if the King of Guanzhong can give me a favor?" Leaders of several nobles from Sichuan and Sichuan gathered together They looked at each other, bowed to Zhang Yong, and said.

"Yes! I understand. I will go to the banquet on time. If nothing happens, you can go down!" Zhang Yong waved his hand and said.

A large group of nobles from the Sichuan and Sichuan lands immediately respectfully exited Zhang Yong's palace as if they had been granted amnesty.

After everyone exited, Zhang Yong leaned on the chair, stretched out his hands, and grasped them in the void, as if he had grasped something.

And this thing is invisible and intangible, its name is power.

Right! right! You are so wonderful.

"Haha!" Zhang Yong smiled alone in the empty room.

When he first crossed over, Zhang Yong's goal was actually very simple. He just wanted to change the fate of tens of millions of Han people who died and were massacred in the Central Plains.

But as his official position grew bigger and bigger, and he was named the King of Guanzhong, until he took over the entire land of Sichuan and Shu, Zhang Yong finally felt the beauty of power.

One word, one action, one look from you can decide the life or death of a group of people, and make them kneel on the ground. This is an indescribable feeling of pleasure!

There are no words to describe it! It's such a wonderful feeling to control other people's destiny!

No wonder power corrupts people's hearts, no wonder power can change a person.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yong's thoughts returned to reality. It would be good to expand appropriately, but he could not continue to expand. There is a big mountain above me! And there’s still a lot to do!

First of all, officials transferred from Guanzhong to Sichuan and Shu must be married.

This is to prevent these wealthy families from entering into marriages and using such marriages to win over local officials.

Secondly, these transferred officials must be rotated every two years, first among the five major mansions in Sichuan and Shu.

After all the rotations are completed, they will be transferred back to the land of Guanzhong, or the land they won in the future, or even the land in the Central Plains of Xixia and Southern Song Dynasty to serve as officials.

Ten years later, Zhang Yong feels that his territory is definitely more than what it is now. After finishing his official duties that night, Zhang Yong returned to his bedroom to rest.

When Zhang Yong completely took over the entire Sichuan and Shu lands, the Southern Song Dynasty also received news that the entire Sichuan and Shu lands had fallen.

When the news reached Lin'an Mansion, the entire Lin'an Mansion felt like a big earthquake had occurred.

From the emperor to the civil and military officials of the dynasty, to the common people, traders and soldiers, everyone was shocked!

This is the lost land of Sichuan and Shu, not another region, but the land of Sichuan and Shu!

At this time, in the Song Dynasty Palace, Song Emperor Zhao Yun was holding his head and sitting on the dragon chair, looking very haggard.

He really has doubts now. Is it really okay to hand this throne to him? I am not getting the throne with my words and reputation.

Back then, I was just an ordinary child of the Zhao family royal family, and the throne had nothing to do with me.

However, due to some central power struggles, the powerful minister Shi Miyuan joined forces with the concubines in the harem to depose the original prince and choose himself in order to deal with his political opponents.

It has only been a few years since he succeeded to the throne. In the court, he can only talk, but his real power is still firmly controlled by Shi Miyuan.

And he is too lazy to resist, because he can't resist. After all, your throne was given by Shi Mingyuan, but the Song Dynasty has been having a really hard time in the past few years!

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has failed in successive foreign wars. He originally wanted to use the war in Xixia.

He came to consolidate his imperial position, but what he got in exchange was a disastrous defeat. Fortunately, Zhao Fan took the blame for him.

Then he and Shi Miyuan reached an agreement to unite the Jin Kingdom and plan to seek independence. The Mongols had just captured the land of Guanzhong, but the 150,000-strong army was defeated miserably in the land of Guanzhong.

Then he wanted to unite with Mongolia to attack gold, but was rejected by Mongolia.

How long has it been now? He actually lost the entire land of Sichuan and Shu, and the loss was so humiliating and useless.

The common people don't know what's going on. How can he, the emperor, not know what's going on?

According to the battle reports sent over, it can be said that the Mongols took over the entire Sichuan-Sichuan land without spending a single soldier, because the Sichuan-Sichuan land did not have much defense force at all.

It was originally hoped that Lu Jianjun could gather the remaining troops to defend the Mongols in Hanzhong and guard the throat of Sichuan and Shu.

You have an army of 30,000 after all! As long as you don't go out of the city to fight the Mongols and just defend the city, you should be fine for a few months or even half a year, right?

But what did Supervisor Lu do? With an army of 30,000, they even took away a large amount of food and grass in Hanzhong City, and then ran back so quickly.

He also said that if you have any important military information, you must report it to yourself in person. What important military information do you have that can be compared to the land of Hanzhong and the entire land of Sichuan and Shu?

Even if you retreat to Chengdu, or retreat to Chongqing. I can understand your approach, but you just ran back to the south. This is pure greed for life and fear of death!

And there is another piece of intelligence that shows that when they were in Guanzhong, Zhao Fan's army and the Mongolian army were fighting to the death.

It was Supervisor Lu who was the first to take the lead in escaping, leading the rear troops to escape. Otherwise, Zhao Fan would not have been defeated so miserably.

After the news of the loss of the Sichuan-Sichuan land completely spread, Zhao Yun did not hesitate and immediately imprisoned the supervisor surnamed Lu. Even the dozen generals who fled with him were also imprisoned.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in prison, Mr. Lu would still... Gritting his teeth, he said that he was forced by more than a dozen generals and had no choice, so he escaped back. He himself wanted to fight to the death in Sichuan and Sichuan, but these generals were greedy for life and afraid of death.

Forcibly holding a knife to his neck and making him run back to the south, Zhao Yun would never believe such nonsense.

What rights do supervisors enjoy in the military? That's bigger than the commander-in-chief. A dozen low-level generals dare to coerce you. They have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard. Moreover, the confessions of more than a dozen people and the confessions of the entire army are not as good as yours. One person?

Even this time, all the civil servants and literati in the Song Dynasty did not stand on his side.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the common people, all petitioned him to kill Supervisor Lu and even cut him into pieces.

But what's the use? Can we take back the land of Sichuan and Sichuan?

"Your Majesty! You should go to court. All the civil and military officials of the court have arrived now." A young eunuch came to Zhao Yun and said. (In the Song Dynasty, only officials could be called the emperor's official family; everyone else was still your majesty.)

Zhao Yun nodded, today we must discuss the Sichuan-Sichuan land.

"Get off! Go to court!"

Soon, in the palace of Lin'an Prefecture, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty gathered together.

After the eunuch said a lot of symbolic words, this time the court meeting finally began.

"Dear dear friends, now the land of Sichuan and Shu, Guanzhong Prefecture, Tongchuan Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture, as well as Chongqing Prefecture, Bazhou, Lizhou and Dazhou have been lost. The entire Sichuan and Shu land has been lost to the Mongols. People have taken it away, tell me, what should I, the Song Dynasty, do?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Official family! The land of Sichuan and Shu is the destiny of our Song Dynasty. The food and salary provided every year is enough to support 40% of the army, and the financial revenue is countless. We must take back the land of Sichuan and Shu." The civil servant stood up and spoke.

"Yes! This time we have to take back the land of Sichuan and Shu no matter what. The Mongols have just captured the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the people must be unsettled. Moreover, it is said that the King of Guanzhong also committed a series of murders in Chengdu, massacred Hundreds of thousands of local people looted property."

"Now that the people's support in Sichuan and Sichuan is available, we will mobilize a large army to attack Hanzhong."

The land of Sichuan and Shu was really too important to the Song Dynasty. Be it economic status or. The strategic position is the same. Therefore, no matter how high the price is, we must get it back.

"Shi Aiqing! Do you have any ideas?" Zhao Yun looked at Shi Miyuan and asked.

To be honest, he didn't know how to clean up this mess. In the past few years, the imperial court had been in a mess. It had suffered defeats externally, and now it had lost its city and territory.

Since it was you who helped me ascend to the throne, I will leave this matter to you. As long as you don't let yourself become the king of the country, then you can say anything.

"Officials! We can recruit troops across the country. No matter what, we must find a way to regain the land of Sichuan and Shu." Shi Miyuan said.

This time the loss of the land of Sichuan and Sichuan was something he really didn't expect. He didn't expect that this man named Lu would be so greedy for life and afraid of death, and he would run away with an army of 30,000 people at any time.

As a result, the Mongols now took Sichuan and Shu almost without a fight.

"How many more troops can we mobilize and how much food and grass can we prepare?" Zhao Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, several ministers from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately stood up and

There is no way, they are responsible for this matter, but this is also a hot potato!

"Steward, if a nationwide conscription is carried out, we should be able to recruit an army of 100,000 within half a year. Together with the original forbidden army, we should be able to mobilize an army of 130,000 to 150,000.

Coupled with the preparation of grain, armor, weapons, and military supplies, we will be able to mobilize a large army to attack Sichuan and Sichuan as early as next spring. "

"That is to say, we can only send a large army to attack Hanzhong next year after seven or eight months, right?" Zhao Yun asked, covering his head.

Several officials nodded helplessly, there was no way, the procedure was like this, they couldn't do it faster even if they wanted to.

"In my Lin'an Mansion, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops guarding the capital.

Then mobilize 20,000 troops from all over the country within half a month.

Together with the 30,000 defeated troops stationed in Xiangyang, I have a total of 70,000 to 80,000 troops. In one month, I must attack Hanzhong and recapture the land of Sichuan and Shu. "Zhao Yun said.

There is no way. If we really wait until next spring, the Mongols will occupy the land of Sichuan and Sichuan for a whole year, and the day lilies will be cold by then.

And next year, maybe the Jin people will have been dealt with.

By then, let alone attacking Sichuan and Sichuan, if the Mongolian army goes south, it is hard to say whether he can save half of the country in the south. (End of chapter)
