Eight hundred and fifty-nine, someone Guo is a tax collector
All the generals of the Shu army were surprised by what Guan Yu said and were very surprised by this.
When the generals of the Wei army noticed the differences in the faces of the generals of the Shu army, they also felt refreshed and proud, and were quite contented.
How about it, you buns don’t have such an excellent emperor, right?
In the army on the battlefield, who dares to say that he will not be injured?
Is it necessary for the emperor who doesn’t even save the wounded soldiers to be loyal to him?
Can a waste like Liu Zhang be compared with His Majesty such a great emperor?
Sometimes this sense of happiness and superiority are compared, and the sense of superiority produced by this comparison immediately calmed down the resentment in the hearts of the generals of the Wei army.
"This... will not cost less, right? This is the cost of such a scale,"
Wu Yi couldn't help asking questions.
“It’s not a matter of how much it costs.”
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said proudly: "If you care about how much you spend, we military doctors and medicinal materials will not be possible. Your Majesty will never save money on such matters. There will never be a shortage of food, clothing, medical treatment, and military supplies.
If there is, hum, if there is a shortage, if there is no way to keep up, if the frontline soldiers are hungry, or if there is no need to treat the injury, then there will be more than one or two people who will lose their heads, from the county magistrate, from the state governor, or even the imperial officials, no one will run away!"
It is the so-called lack of happiness without comparison. Thanks to the contour of his companions, he seems to be strong. Guo, who kills officials like pigs and dogs, is such a different firework.
So he has a deep morale.
Wu Yi had nothing to say. If this was just a passage, he didn't have to take it seriously, but Guan Yu put the facts in front of him and let him understand them while watching, so he couldn't help but believe it.
This is true.
Wu Yi didn't say anything, and the surrendered generals of the Shu army did not continue to say anything.
They silently watched the Wei army's military medical team handle the bandage of a large number of wounded soldiers in a few seconds. The skillful bandaging technique was obvious to be something that experts could do.
After watching for a while, the generals of the Shu army no longer had any fluctuations and became calmer.
It seems that Yan Yan was defeated.
It is not unfair that they were beaten so miserably.
The reason is in front of them, and they are fully visible.
Guan Yu led his army to station in Jiange for more than a day, and then led a small number of troops and surrendered generals of the Shu army to head to Chengdu to meet Le Jin and Guo Jia, waiting for Guo Peng's further orders.
All parts of Shu have been captured, but the army still needs to occupy it. As for whether those counties that have not been occupied by the Wei army will surrender honestly, this is not certain, so a large army needs to be stationed in Chengdu to intimidate Shu.
And according to the information they learned, Guo Peng not only wanted to pacify the Chengdu Plain, but also had some ideas about the entire southern Yizhou county.
Anyway, according to Guo Jia’s understanding of Guo Peng, Guo Peng is very enterprising.
Guo Peng dislikes methods such as quarrel and symbolic rule. He likes development, immigration and taxation. He has this view on the counties and counties in the south.
In Guo Jia's eyes, Guo is just a tax tycoon.
No matter which state, county, or county, what Guo cares most about is always whether he can collect taxes. The places where he can collect taxes are what he likes. He also has a famous saying -
Why not make a big move for taxes? Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a decision after mailing an edict?
But I just want to collect taxes!
In Guo's opinion, whether all counties and counties in the occupied area pay full tax is the best indicator of the rule of the Guo Wei regime. Only when the tax is paid full can his rule be healthy.
In other words, without taxes, how can the state official instruments operate?
Do you rely on issuing currency?
Inflation made the country explode on its own.
So although Yangzhou and Jingzhou have surrendered, Guo still left many troops to continue to develop and fight.
After defeating the Sun Wu regime, Zhang Liao stayed in Yangzhou and began a large-scale expedition and suppression campaign against the Shanyue Group spread throughout Yangzhou.
Throughout the first year of Yande, Zhang Liao was fighting constantly. On the one hand, construction was being restored in northern Yangzhou, and on the other hand, a very fierce expedition and suppression war was being carried out in southern Yangzhou.
When Guo Peng used Shanyue to confront the powerful Yangzhou regime and the Sun Wu regime, he sent spies to Yangzhou to draw a map of Yangzhou, contacted the thieves of the Shanyue Group, and obtained a lot of information about the thieves of the Shanyue bandits through this connection.
This intelligence was integrated by the Linzi Camp and handed over to Zhang Liao, allowing Zhang Liao to organize a clearance of the war based on these intelligences.
Regarding the Shanyue Group, a super-large bandit group entrenched in many counties in Yangzhou, mixed with Han and barbarians, and mastered farming and iron smelting technologies, Guo Peng did not intend to negotiate with them at all and continued to abide by their existence.
For this cancer left over from the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to attacks, they are all attacks, completely annihilated and wiped out, and did not give them any space to survive.
This is a considerable part of the population. In the eyes of Mr. Guo, it is productivity, mobilization, and taxation.
Those who compete for population and taxes with Mr. Guo will not have a good ending.
Guo Peng authorized Zhang Liao and told Zhang Liao that he could use all means to wipe out and attack the Shanyue Group without any casualties.
He can mobilize all the Southeast Corps, and Yangzhou Governor Gu Yong needs to cooperate with him with all his strength, and officials from all over the country also need to cooperate with his military operations.
So over the past year, Zhang Liao carried out a more intense campaign in Yangzhou than Lejin did in Jingnan, and the techniques he used were even more cruel than Lejin.
Sneak attacks, suppression, coercion, inducement, burning, and various means are all in one go.
The most vicious one is naturally the fire. Like Jingnan, large areas of undeveloped primitive jungle are the biggest obstacle to the Wei army's advance and the largest hiding place for the Shanyue Group.
If you can't beat it on the plains, you will escape into the mountains and forests. The Wei army is not good at fighting against the mountains and dense forests and suffers a lot of losses.
In order to change this disadvantage, Zhang Liao directly and simply set fire to the forest.
He didn't care about the wildfires or forest fires. Instead, he knew that to develop these places, these jungles must be destroyed. He also knew the very primitive agricultural behavior of burning forests and land reclamation. So at the order, a large-scale fire operation began.
The mountains and forests that the Shanyue Group relied on for their livelihood were set on fire by the Wei army. The burned Shanyue bandits collapsed and had nowhere to hide. Many people were burned to death or smoked to death. They had to surrender in groups with the elderly and the young, and became the households under the statistics of the Guo and Wei regime.
Zhang Liao used quite cruel means to attack these mountain thieves, forcing them to leave the mountains and forests, come to the plains to produce, and become obedient people.
This is honest. Those who can be accepted as private households will be burned to death, or try to break through, and will be shot to death by the Wei army directly shooting arrows.
Using this method, Zhang Liao left a great reputation in Yangzhou, and was also an insurmountable first-level carbon dioxide emission criminal and environmental destroyer.
Seeing the Shanyue thieves escorted to various counties by the army, the Yangzhou people confirmed Zhang Dayao's name in awe.
Zhang Liao's huge achievements and military achievements earned him the reward of improving his title by a level, which made Le Jin very jealous.
Therefore, when Le Jin pacified Jingnan, he referred to Zhang Liao's approach, burning the dense forests and compressing the living space of Shanyue and the barbarians of the four counties, forcing them out of the mountains and forests, and then extermining them.
The issue of Shanyue Group separating local areas, which has become more and more practical since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, was slowly resolved under the cruel blow of Zhang Liao and Le Jin.
