At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 151, forcing out a more powerful First Emperor

Zhang Liang's words made everyone shiver, especially people like Fan Zeng and Zhou Zhang who had experienced the power of the violent Qin Dynasty, and they were sweating like they were seeing a demon.

The reason why Baoqin is called Baoqin is because they are so cruel. Tu Baiqi slaughtered millions of armies of the six kingdoms in his life. These are millions of young men. After Baiqi, the vitality of the six kingdoms of Kanto was greatly damaged, and there was no one left alone. The country can compete with the violent Qin, but now that the strategy of "occupying people's land and plundering people as slaves" is implemented, the number of people in the entire world will only be more than before, not less than before.

Xu Fan was very surprised by what Fan Zeng said about the changes in Qin. Two things surprised him. One was Xiang Liang's change of strategy. If Fan Zeng was not lying, Xiang Liang wanted to use Qi as his foundation. Come and conquer the world. This is obviously to avoid his Bingfeng. He is still a little proud in his heart. Even the Overlord wants to avoid him.

Of course, the First Emperor's strategy also gave Xiang Liang this opportunity. The Qin army's encirclement was an indiscriminate attack. Everyone from the powerful nobles to the common people were brutally oppressed by the Qin army. Now they desperately need a savior, even if the savior is Chu However, the Qi people were willing to accept Xiang Liang as long as they could help them destroy the Qin army.

Second, Qin's policy has also changed. The First Emperor's policy seems to be a replica of the granting of land for military merit, as if the Qin Dynasty has returned to its original path.

But Xu Fan inexplicably thought of those ethnic minorities who occupied power in the Central Plains in history. The first thing to do was to circle the land. After enclosing the land, the original owners of the land were driven away, and then the ethnic minority forces were allowed to take root in the Central Plains.

There are also ethnic minority forces who have done even more extreme things. After they squander the land, your land is no longer yours. Even your people are no longer yours, but have become their slaves. I won’t say who Xu Fan is, but everyone knows it anyway.

But sometimes history makes people so helpless. This kind of atrocities are obviously the anger of heaven and the people, but they allow the ethnic minority regimes to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and gain the national destiny for hundreds of years.

The decline of Confucianism in later generations came from this. The rules they forcibly set for the world were shattered by these brutal minority forces. People just rely on brutality to conquer the world, and Confucianism still has to find ways to forcefully lick and kneel these political powers. From then on, Confucianism became a lifeless zombie.

Liu Bang sighed: "Yes, he was first forced by Qin officials to escort grain and grass, but was captured by the rebel army, and then joined the rebel army but was defeated by Xiang Liang. These few years have been really rough and frightening. Fortunately, he is now taken in by the king of Han. I can finally breathe.”

Liu Bang said indifferently: "I brought five thousand people to join the King of Han."

"This world is a worse world."

Chen Ying could only smile bitterly. How could he have such a good reputation?

"Nai Gong is Liu Bang of Pei County. I wonder what the names of the two brothers are?" Liu Bang asked the two veterans who were about the same age as him.

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "I will report this good news to General Liang right now. It will take at most half a month to reply to the King of Han."

Although the land enclosure movement is an atrocity, it cannot stand against a zombie dynasty with almost zero organizational capabilities. This country has no ability to organize the people to fight back against such atrocities. Without the cooperation from the top, the local people's independent resistance can only be scattered.

"Xu Chongzhao!"

"Hey~~" Chen Sheng blew the whistle, and the entire camp heard it. All the officers stopped, and Chen Sheng shouted: "Have a quarter of an hour's rest."

But Xu Fan was not optimistic about the behavior of the First Emperor at this time. If he had done this 10 years ago, there would have been anger and resentment, making it difficult for the Central Plains to stabilize for more than ten years.

The voices of "Turn left, turn right!" are heard endlessly, but the soldiers on the school field are not like the soldiers in other parts of the Han army. , but what is missing is that the down on his face has not receded, and his whole person has a youthful look.

But it is no longer 10 years ago. Xu Fan is not the Southern Song Dynasty, nor is he the decadent regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Xu Zhongzhao nodded and said, "It turns out they are other rebel brothers."

This is a version of a famous saying in later generations.

Xu Zhongzhao looked at Liu Bang's age and said, "You are still joining the Han army at such an old age. I'm afraid your family is not doing well."

He only accepted the hearts of the old Qin people he could trust. Relying on his strict organizational skills, he led millions of old Qin people to plunder the people of the Central Plains. The First Emperor was also defeated by the anti-Qin forces in the world.

"This can be considered as forcing me to create a more powerful First Emperor!" Thinking about this, Xu Fan still felt a little proud in his heart. This was the First Emperor.

On the contrary, ethnic minorities can organize efficiently to plunder you and suppress your resistance. There will be hundreds of millions of people ruled by millions or even hundreds of thousands of ethnic minorities.

"I'm so exhausted!" Liu Bang shook his waist to make himself feel better. He was 45 years old this year, and it was really hard for him to stand upright.

Just like the landlords faced with the bald Jin Yuanjuan, they could only choose the rabbit with tears in their eyes.

So Xu Fan said: "You and I are now the leaders of the rebels in the world. We have agreed today that after the spring plowing, we will jointly attack Qin. Our Han country will attack the Central Plains, and General Xiang Liang will attack Qi. The two of us will attack together, so that The Qin army cannot look after each other."

Fan Zeng did not expect that this trip would go so smoothly. After forming an alliance with Han, Xiang Liang could concentrate on dealing with the Qin army in Qi. Moreover, with Xu Fan attacking the Central Plains, the Qin army in Qi would definitely lose the support of the Qin army in Guanzhong. After all, Qidi is nothing compared to Aocang, plus the First Emperor's unpopular policy in Qidi.

Liu Bang cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that I am Chen Ying of Dongyang County. I have admired your name for a long time. Our leader was Qin Jia and we planned to form an alliance with you. Unexpectedly, we met in Chen County."

He would have to be in a state of counterinsurgency for the rest of his life, and there would be wars all over the Central Plains. The First Emperor had to keep heavy troops stationed in the Central Plains to suppress the anti-Qin heroes in the world.

It was said to be a crash course for officers, but there were really not many officers as old as Liu Bang. Liu Bang instinctively approached a few officers who were about the same age as him.

It was impossible for him to watch the First Emperor plundering the land of the Central Plains in a colonial manner. The greater the public anger aroused by the First Emperor, the more Xu Fan was able to organize a powerful army to destroy the First Emperor's violent army.

Xu Zhongzhao was the older of the rebel officers, almost forty years old, and he felt a little fond of Liu Bang who was older than him.

Fan Zeng felt that they now had the right time, place and people, and it was impossible for them to fail.

To a certain extent, the atrocities committed by the First Emperor were beneficial to Xu Fan. The First Emperor wanted the lives of the powerful landowners and all their wealth, but Xu Fan only wanted their land. With only these two options, the powerful forces saw that Xu Fan will feel that this is a benevolent Lord.

"Chen Ying!"

Chen County, a crash course for military officers.

Every month, several groups of rebels defected to Xu Fan, the soldiers would divide their fields, and their leaders would be thrown into the officer crash course, so Xu Chongzhao was not surprised.

Then he looked at Xu Zhongzhao and said, "This is not a crash course for officers. Why are we just practicing what soldiers do?"

What the First Emperor did was considered a mistake. The system of the Qin State determined that it was impossible for him to win the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. Now the First Emperor simply does not want the hearts of the people of the Central Plains.

What he learned from a young age was how to organize people. When he was a child, he was a team leader. When he was older, he was a squad leader, squadron leader, group leader, and class cadre. Through military training in junior high school and high school, his country had been teaching Xu Fan how to organize people. Since childhood, I have watched great anti-Japanese dramas. Although they were shocking, they also taught Xu Fan how to resist tyranny.

Xu Chongzhao knew that he was extremely lucky. He was promoted to the senior officer training class after making two great achievements in a row. Chen Ying and Liu Bang were older than him. If they made great achievements, he would also know about it.

Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I'm about the same."

The result of this poor comparison may be that the organizational ability of the anti-Qin forces in the Central Plains is really not as good as that of the Qin State, which has always had a complete court.

In this way, the power of the Qin people was completely rooted in the Central Plains. Moreover, with these people rebelling, the First Emperor was not in the mood to conquer the Baiyue in the south and the Xiongnu in the north. He did not have to consume Qin's resources in these remote and remote areas. Maybe this would further strengthen Qin's strength. As long as the situation can be suppressed forcefully, the Qin Dynasty will have a century-old national destiny. Of course, the premise is that the First Emperor will not let a faint king like Hu Hai ascend the throne. After all, Hu Hai is a ruthless man who can kill his whole family. Who knows what shocking things he can do.

Xu Zhongzhao looked at Liu Bang and Chen Ying strangely and said: "Ours is a senior officer training class here. The officers who go out are at least Army Sima, Army Sima Supervisor, Captain, and Captain Supervisor. But the two brothers are very strange. When did you join the Han army?"

The serious atmosphere in the school suddenly became relaxed.

Liu Bang had obtained "The Art of War in Queues", and Zhou Bo had personally taught the children of Peixian County, which was exactly the same as what he was training now, and there was also a long-distance run in the morning. Such hard physical training not only cost Liu Bang his life, but also made it difficult for him to do so. He was confused.

Xu Chongzhao smiled and said: "This is the practice of our rebel army. According to the King of Han, it is to temper the body. Even if you want to escape, you have to run faster than the enemy."

Liu Bang was surprised and said: "The king of Han will still say such things."

Xu Fan repeatedly defeated the Qin army, and also killed generals and captured the flag many times. Now it was spread throughout the Chu region that Xu Fan was the bravest of all three armies. He was a peerless general with a height of eight feet and a waist of eight feet. Xu Chongzhao's words made Liu Bang's three views subverted.

Xu Chongzhao laughed and said, "I joked about this when I was chatting with the King of Han."

Liu Bang was even more surprised now. He found an old soldier who actually knew the King of Han. To be able to say such a joke was not just a simple meeting.

Chen Ying said with envy: "Brother Zhongzhao is the favorite general of the King of Han. Although he looks like an old pawn, he is also a brave general. He was the one who captured the captain of the Qin army in Sanchuan County, and then he was the first to attack." He was the first warrior to conquer the city wall of Wancheng, and he was given a name by the King of Han Dynasty and was summoned again. The camp he stayed in was also given the name of "Feng Zhen Tuen", which is a unique honor in the entire Han army."

Chen Ying came a few days earlier than Liu Bang and others, so he knew the situation here better.

Liu Bang suddenly stood in awe and said, "I didn't expect you, brother, to achieve such military exploits. I really made a mistake."

In this era, killing generals, seizing flags, and attacking cities first have always been the greatest achievements in the military, and those who can achieve such achievements are all admirable. This requires not only strong martial arts, but also extremely strong luck. , it’s no joke that one general can achieve ten thousand bones. The prerequisite for being the first to climb the city wall is that there are 1 people below as stepping stones. Xu Chongzhao has made the two biggest contributions, which has to be admired by Liu Bang. .

Xu Zhongzhao said indifferently: "It's just good luck."

Then Xu Zhongzhao said to the two of them: "The training has just begun. Let you adapt. Later, there will be teachers who will teach you how to read and read, teach you military discipline and rules, and teach you how to train soldiers and how to command operations. In the next few months, we will have more Busy, after the spring plowing is over, we will gather to attack Qin. Only by working harder now can we save our lives during the war." "Gather and continue training!" Chen Sheng shouted.

In this way, Liu Bang and the others continued training until noon.

Liu Bang was also surprised by the food of the Han army. There were four dishes and one soup, which was still broth. He had also eaten this standard of food at Qin Jia's place, but he was surprised to provide such a standard of food to thousands of people. Sure enough, the King of Han was much stronger than Qin Jia.

Soon he started devouring it, and while eating he said, "Although the training is hard, I have to say that the food is really good."

Xu Chongzhao said proudly: "The King of Han said that this has not reached the standard, that is, the current poultry and livestock cannot keep up, otherwise the King of Han would want to have a meat meal every day."

Liu Bang had to give a thumbs up to the King of Han. He had learned this level of bragging.

In the next few days, Liu Bang's life as an officer remained unchanged. He went out for long-distance running in the morning and trained his troops in the morning. In the afternoon, Deng Shuo taught illiterate officers how to read and write on the school grounds. Cai Ci taught the literate officers, copied the Han army's military regulations and disciplines, and taught them to write and read silently. .

In the evening, Xu Fan would come to the officer training class and explain famous war cases during the Warring States Period, or real war cases since the Han army rebelled against the Qin Dynasty. Xu Fan will use a sand table to demonstrate, so that these officers can have an in-depth understanding of the battles between powerful countries during the Warring States Period, the commanders of both sides, the intelligence investigations conducted by the rear court, the gathering of soldiers, the transportation of grain and grass, and high-level decision-making, etc., so that these officers can have a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding. A message of war.

This information gave all the training officers a sense of enlightenment. This was the first time someone had explained a case to them in this way.

Han Xin is even more eye-catching. This is the first time someone has used such a clear method to plan. Sun Wu said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. For the first time, it has been shown so clearly that even a very mediocre general can plan a war. never mind.

Liu Bang disappeared from the stage and said to Chen Ying and Xu Zhongzhao who were beside him: "Compared with the Han Dynasty, Nai Gong was just a grassroots team in Surabaya County. No wonder the King of Han can win many battles. Isn't this too~~~?"

For a moment, Liu Bang didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Xu Chongzhao said: "The King of Han said it was formalization."

Liu Bang nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is formalization. The words used by the King of Han are too precise."

Liu Bang's talent for communication, coupled with his talent for reading and literacy, often gave him free tutoring lessons with senior officers of the Han army, and he soon became familiar with these senior generals of the Han army.

Because he has a bold personality, can get along well with others, and is the oldest among everyone, he quickly became the big brother of the advanced training class.

Liu Bang sighed: "After learning command here, I feel that I could only command 5000 people before, but now I can command 5 people."

Chen Ying smiled and said, "I wish my eldest brother could realize his dream of being a general as soon as possible."

Liu Bang said: "A man must always have some ideals, otherwise why would he join the army?"

Chen Ying and others nodded, they were only one step away from the general.

Han Army, junior officer training class.

"Han Xin, Cao Sheng, Xu Dong, the third team, you go carry our clothes." Instructor Zhang Qiang called.

Han Xin hesitated and said, "It takes so many people to carry a few pieces of clothing."

They have 50 people in one team and 150 people in the third team.

Zhang Qiang said angrily: "There are 3000 officers here. Each of them has more than a dozen sets of clothes, which adds up to tens of thousands of sets. Do you want to call a few more officers?"

Then Han Xin and the other three came to the military camp with hundreds of officers. They saw dozens of carriages piled with sacks containing clothes. No wonder so many officers were required to carry so much clothes.

The officers happily came to the side of the carriage and said, "I will carry two bags."

"I also want to carry two bags." They were extremely excited after knowing that these were their own clothes. Even though they were tired, they wanted to carry more clothes. This may be the first time they have come into contact with so many clothes.

These clothes were then distributed to various officer camps according to categories.

On this day, the entire camp stopped training today, and instead distributed clothes to each individual.

It was the first time that Han Xin and the others discovered that there were so many clothes. There were two sets of training clothes, two sets of spring and autumn regular clothes, two sets of summer clothes, three sets of summer combat clothes, two sets of winter clothes, one pair of leather shoes, and three sets of thousand-layer shoes. Double, Han Xin has so many clothes for the first time in his life.

Seeing these clothes, the Han army officer said excitedly: "The King of Han is so generous. I have never seen so many clothes."

Cao Sheng was even more excited and said: "I have never worn so many clothes since I was a child."

The textile industry was not very developed in this era, and cloth could be used as money. A powerful family like Cao Sheng was not as good as the most ordinary person in later generations.

Han Xin hesitated and said: "The King of Han has always advocated equality between officers and soldiers, but now he has given us so much clothing. Can I, a big Han, be able to support it financially?"

Zhang Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, after the Gongshu family took refuge with the King of Han, they improved their textile machines. Now the price of cloth produced in Han is three times lower than before, and you can still make money. It is because of the great prosperity of the textile industry that the King of Han can give you If you buy so many clothes, the soldiers will also have them, but they won’t be as numerous as you.”

Han Xin felt relieved after hearing this.

Chenjun, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao He used to be the chief official of Peixian County and was a senior Qin official. The system of the Han Dynasty almost completely copied the system of the Qin Dynasty, so he adapted very quickly.

The Prime Minister Zhou Zhang has great power, even more powerful than the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. Firstly, the focus of Xu Fan's work is on the military aspect, which is to train 3000 Han army officers and improve their proud combat capabilities. Secondly, the Han Dynasty has no Prime Minister You came to divide Zhou Zhang's power. Now Zhou Zhang can be said to be one person below ten thousand people in Han Dynasty.

Zhou Zhang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, had the power of planning and examinations. He was in charge of the finance, elections, civil affairs, laws, etiquette, border affairs and other important matters of the entire Han Dynasty. Zhou Zhang had to manage all the government affairs of the Han Dynasty, large and small.

Subordinate Youcicao: Chief commentator on litigation, civil part.

Zou Cao: The main chapter is Zou Cao, a memorial for managing the government.

Thief Cao: The master of thieves.

Jue Cao: Main crime and legal affairs,

Ji Cao: Master of accounting affairs, responsible for the planning of counties and counties, "Shangji Book", that is, reports to superiors. The content of the report is: the increase or decrease in household registration, the number of acres of cultivated land, the income and expenditure of money and grain, the number of thieves, etc.

Hucao: in charge of household sacrifices to farmers and mulberry trees.

Facao: in charge of postal affairs.

Wei Cao: In charge of the transfer of soldiers and disciples.

Cangcao: in charge of Canggu affairs. In charge of warehouse grain. Its chief is called Peng.

Bingcao: In charge of military affairs and in charge of issuing military recruitment orders to all the pavilion chiefs in Han Dynasty.

City Cao: In charge of commerce and taxation.

Zhou Zhang's huge Prime Minister's Palace was the system that maintained the operation of the entire Han Dynasty. The newly arrived junior officials like Xiao He are still in the stage of observing government affairs and understanding the way in which government affairs are handled within the entire Han Dynasty.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that they don’t do things. In the Han Dynasty, all Cao officials were the superiors of their administrative staff and could instruct them to do things. This was also a behavior approved by Zhou Zhang. Practice is the best way to increase ability. The way.

This year's autumn grain collection has been completed, but the data reported by each county still needs to be calculated and reviewed, so this is the busiest time for the entire Prime Minister's Office.

Xiao He was given the task of calculating the number of granaries in various places in Chen County. After Xiao He briefly learned abacus, he began to become a busy member here.

During the busy days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao He found that the Han State really kept its word. The agricultural tax was really 100%, and all other taxes were gone. However, the Han Dynasty's 30% tax did not mean that the Han State's taxes were low. Chen County had He has 100 million acres of land, but received a land tax of 30 shi. His hometown Peixian County also has about million acres of land, and Peixian County only collects half of the income from the people in terms of taxes and fees, and also requires the people to submit. However, the annual tax revenue of Peixian County was less than shi, and the tax revenue was not as good as that of Han Dynasty.

This is because a large amount of land was occupied by Qin officials, and they did not pay taxes. There is still a large amount of land occupied by powerful people like them. They only have to pay about one-tenth of the tax, and the rest of the tax falls on the common people. This resulted in high taxes in Chen County, but the burden on the people was actually reduced. Taxes in Peixian County are low, but the people are unhappy.

Xiao He sighed for a while, this is a small Da Qin.

Also, Xiao He discovered that the commercial tax in Chen County was particularly developed. The commercial tax plus the money earned by the Shaofu could provide 12 gold benefits to the Han Dynasty. This is simply unbelievable. In his hometown of Pei County, the commercial tax was even % of this. None.

However, Xiao He saw the waterwheels, huge textile factories, and even a special textile market in Chen County, where tens of thousands of women and children were working, huge blast furnaces, and tens of thousands of craftsmen working every day. It can be said that Chenjun is a city of craftsmen and textiles. In this city, the number of craftsmen is more than that of farmers, and they create more wealth. This is something that cannot be seen anywhere in Daqin.
