    ps: Lu Bu's only opponent is Sima Yi, who is still struggling. Zhuge Liang is waiting for him, so what is Lu Bu going to do?  I recommend Chang Huahua's new book "Super Ambiguous Master". Don't be fooled by the title. The book is not just about picking up girls and being ambiguous, there are many connotations waiting for you to discover.

    Looking around the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu deployed Taishi Ci, Yu Jin, and Tian Chou in the northeast to deal with Goguryeo and Sanhan; in the northwest, he deployed Huangfu Song, Tian Yu, Qu Yi, and Qianzhao to deal with Xianbei in the west; and in Liangzhou, he deployed Ma Teng and Zhu Ling.  To deal with the Qiang people, Lu Xun and He Qi were deployed in Yangzhou to deal with Shanyue, Huang Gai was deployed at the junction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou to deal with the Wuling barbarians, and Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Ma Dai, Ma Zhong, and Zhang Yi were deployed in Yizhou.  To deal with the Southern Barbarians and Qing Qiang, Sun Ce and Lu Su were also deployed in Jiaozhou to deal with the local barbarians. The timetable given by Lu Bu was five to ten years respectively. They must eliminate the local barbarians and achieve Chineseization.

    In the next ten years, Lu Bu wants to extend the territory of the Han Dynasty to all the territories that the Han people have occupied in history.

    In the northwest of Yizhou, close to the border of Liangzhou, there is an active ethnic group, the Di. Although their customs are similar to those of the Qiang, they are better at farming and braver in warfare. In 221 AD, when Ma Chao raised his troops to rebel against Cao Cao, the Di  The Xingguo Di and Baiqing Di tribes also joined Ma Chao.  After the Three Kingdoms era, because the Di people lived on the border between Wei and Shu, they were often involved in the wars between the two countries.  In AD 304, Li Xiong, the chief of the Di tribe, took advantage of the civil strife in the Western Jin Dynasty to send troops to attack Chengdu and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the so-called Chenghan.  Li Xiong also named Liu Xuan, Liu Chan's great-grandson, as Duke An Le and succeeded Liu Chan's title.

    In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Di and Qiang people in Guanzhong gradually became households, and the taxes and servitude were heavy and harsh, which often aroused resistance.  And local officials.  He is willing to reward and gain profit, and he is seeking to kill without hesitation.  During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty split and various kings rebelled. In the sixth year of Yuankang (296), the Di and Qiang from Yong and Qin states rose up against the Jin.  The Di people Qi Wannian were made emperor, and the northwest was shaken.  The Di Qiang pushed directly towards Chang'an, and Qi Wannian was captured in the ninth year of Yuankang (299). They persisted for two and a half years and were defeated.  However, the Jin Dynasty also suffered a serious blow and soon entered the period of "Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms".  Among the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Di nobles established the former Qin and Houliang.

    In the sixth year of Yonghe in Jin Dynasty (350), Pu Hong, the commander-in-chief of Linwei County in Lueyang (now Qin'an, Gansu Province), was proclaimed the King of the Three Qin Dynasty and changed his surname to Fu.  He was assassinated and died soon after, leaving his son Jian.  Taking advantage of the situation, Zhao was destroyed.  When the Ran Wei Dynasty was in chaos, Fu Jian marched to Chang'an and took the title of King of Heaven in the seventh year of Yonghe (351).  When Fu Jian succeeded to the throne, he appointed Wang Meng of the Han Dynasty to destroy Qian Yan one after another.  Conquer Hanzhong and capture Chengdu.  He also destroyed the Tuoba clan, destroyed Qianliang, pacified the countries in the Western Region, and once unified northern China, becoming the largest territory among the sixteen countries.  In the eighth year of Jin Taiyuan (383), Fu Jian launched a massive attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty.  As a result, they were defeated miserably at Feishui and were killed by Qiang chief Yao Chang in the tenth year of Taiyuan (385). The former Qin Dynasty basically collapsed.

    One year before the Battle of Feishui, Fu Jian sent the Hussars General L¨¹ Guangping from Lueyang Di to the Western Regions.  The year after Fu Jian was defeated at Feishui, Lu Guang had conquered more than 30 countries in the Western Regions.  He returned to Liangzhou and made his capital Guzang (today's Wuwei, Gansu Province). He was first called Duke of Jiuquan and then King of Sanhe. In the 21st year of Taiyuan of Jin Dynasty (396), he was given the title of King of Heaven, the country was named Liang, and it was called Houliang in history.  It was passed down for two generations and was destroyed by the Later Qin Dynasty in 403 AD.

    In addition, there was another Di government in present-day southern Gansu and northwest Sichuan, Qiuchi.  Since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty built his country in Jian'an, Di commander Yang Ju moved to Qiuchi (since then), and his descendants have been the rulers of the Di people in this area. In the sixth year of Emperor Yuankang of the Jin Dynasty (296), Di chief Yang Maosou led his troops and became king in Qiuchi.  Although the descendants moved many times and changed their names, they still owned this area. Finally, it was destroyed by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. It has been passed down for a total of 286 years. If counted from Yang Ju, it has a history of nearly 400 years.

    Lu Bu ordered Ma Chao to lead 20,000 troops to guard Wudu County, deal with the Di people, win over friendly tribes such as Xingguo Di and Baiqing Di, and deal with Qiuchi Yang family and other tribes that were at odds with the Han. Considering that Ma Chao was brave but not wise, Lu Bu also  He ordered Su Ze to join the army and implement the strategy of destroying Di in ten years.

    Lu Bu took Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the main force back to Luoyang. All the soldiers from Yizhou or Jingzhou who frequently visited Yizhou were left with Zhuge Liang. In addition, he also left most of the civil and military soldiers from Yizhou or Jingzhou.  The general was left to Zhuge Liang. Lu Bu hoped that Zhuge Liang could completely pacify the Nanman and Qingqiang within ten years, preferably within five years.

    Huang Zhong led most of the troops back to Luoyang, while Lu Bu led Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, under the protection of Baima Yicong and Qilin Guards, to Zhu Jun's military camp outside Chang'an City, and relieved Zhu Jun of his military power on the spot.  , and invited the imperial edict from the young emperor Liu Bian to confer the title of Sikong on Zhu Jun and the title of Duke of Lelang County. He asked Zhu Jun to lead one hundred guards and take office in the Luoyang court. Lu Bu asked Zhang Fei to command Zhu Jun's 20,000 troops.  Fei burst into tears of gratitude and swore allegiance.

    Then Lu Bu and his party rushed along the straight road like lightning and arrived at Huangfu Song's military camp in Shuozhou. They relieved Huangfu Song of his military power and, under the guise of Liu Bian's imperial edict, made Huangfu Song a Taiwei and the Duke of Jiuquan County, giving Huangfu Song the command of one hundred people.  The guards went to Luoyang to serve in the imperial court. Huangfu Song's troops were led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou respectively, and all of Shuozhou'sThe men and horses were handed over to Tian Yu's command, and Yan Liang was under his command, and within three years he completely pacified Xianbei in the west.

    Qu Yi and Wen Chou sent 20,000 troops to Yumen Pass in the Western Regions in exchange for Ma Teng. Ma Teng was transferred to the imperial court to assume the position of guard. Qu Yi was appointed general of the Western Regions. Lu Bu gave Qu Yi five years to plant the flag of the Han Dynasty.  In the Altai Mountains, the Western Region Protectorate was changed to Xinzhou.

    Lu Bu's determined reform of the imperial court made the Grand Sima's Mansion the highest authority, and the Six Cabinet Ministries became the highest executive authority. However, the previous three officials and nine ministers were not all decorations, but transformed into supervisors. The Taiwei supervised the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Sikong Ministry of Justice.  Supervise the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, and Situ supervises the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. At the same time, the three ministers are also in charge of the Jiuqing. The three ministers of Tingwei, Guangluxun, and Weiwei are also in charge of the Taiwei department; the three ministers of Taipu, Taichang, and Dahonglu are also in charge of Situ.  The three ministers of Zong Zheng, Da Sinong, and Shaofu were combined with Sikong's ministry, and most of the nine ministers became three ministers.

    All the nine ministers are retained. Taichang is in charge of the rituals of the ancestral temple and has a very high status and is the head of the nine ministers; Guang Luxun is in charge of the palace guards; Weiwei is in charge of the palace gate guards; Taichang is in charge of the palace horses and national horse administration;  Tingwei is in charge of judicial trials; Dahonglu is in charge of diplomacy and ethnic affairs; Zongzheng is in charge of royal family and clan affairs; Dasinong is in charge of tax revenue and financial revenue and expenditure; Shaofu is in charge of royal finance and government handicrafts.  The basic rights of Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taipu, Dahonglu and Zongzheng remain unchanged.  Part of the power of Tingwei was delegated to the Ministry of Justice, the financial revenue and expenditure power of Da Sinong was delegated to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the government handicrafts of the Shaofu were delegated to the Ministry of Works. The direction of the reform was to try to equalize the power of the six ministries and nine ministers.

    With his high personal prestige in the army, Lu Bu personally went to the military camps of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other royalists, and raised Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others secretly.  Transferred to the imperial court, all military power was returned to Lu Bu's close relatives. The Yiji who had gone to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's barracks to persuade was captured by the agents of the Military Intelligence Department. He did not complete the task because at this time Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun  Already old, they did not dare to resist Dong Zhuo ten years ago, and they dare not resist Lu Bu now. Moreover, the conditions Lu Bu offered them were very generous, and they would rather support Lu Bu to change the dynasty.  Nor do they want to serve the Liu Han royal family that exists in name only.

    Yi Ji refused to surrender and was executed on the spot. Chen Qun had the same fate as him. Chen Qun was followed by agents of the Military Intelligence Department on the way to Qingqiang and was escorted to Lu Bu. Lu Bu resented the nine-grade Zhongzheng system he proposed and had no idea at all.  Giving Chen Qun any chance to beg for mercy and surrender, he ordered his men to behead him on the spot.  Chen Qun was very regretful when he was dying. He remembered the scene when Lu Bu personally visited Yingchuan Academy ten years ago.  At that time, Lu Bu condescended to him and wanted to ask him to rule the country, but he was short-sighted and could not see Lu Bu's ability, so he refused Lu Bu's conquest. Now Lu Bu has many ministers under his command.  Naturally, Chen Qun didn't care about a member of a noble family like him. Chen Qun regretted it, but it was too late.

    In order to win over the support of all strata of society, Lu Bu promulgated two decrees. The first was to establish a preliminary social security system.  Everyone starts paying personal pension insurance at the age of fifteen. After the age of fifty, you can receive a pension without paying any taxes. The pension is determined based on the amount paid before and the price level at the time of receipt. It will never be  Prices have increased tenfold while pensions have remained the same.  If someone dies of illness or is killed in combat before the age of fifty, the pension previously paid will be doubled back to the immediate family members, and the pension will never be swallowed up.

    The more important point is that there will never be a gap between the government and the public in pension security, and there will be no dual-track system. It will be determined based on how much everyone pays and the price level when they start receiving it. There will be no bureaucratic failure to pay and receive multiple times.  extremely unfair situation.

    All pensions are operated by a unified social insurance fund. Lu Bu will use the best management talents in the world to run these funds to ensure that the annual profit margin can outrun the price inflation and there will be a larger surplus.  The annual revenue and profit of the social insurance fund will be announced to the world, and there will be no behind-the-scenes operations.

    Lu Bu will never allow the shameless behavior he once hated to appear in the court he rules. Not deceiving the people, not harming the people, and not insulting the people's intelligence is the bottom line of Lu Bu's rule.

    When Lu Bu confirmed that his rule was firm, he promulgated another decree, the Abolition of Slavery, and all the enslaved servants of Han nationality who had not committed any crime before were turned into free citizens, and their relationship with their employers was an employment relationship instead of slavery.  Relationship is a two-way choice between the employer and the employee. If the employer is not good, the employee can propose to terminate the contract, because there are only two ways for a guilty or non-Han slave to become a free citizen. A maid gives birth to a child to a Han man, and a male servant  The big man made outstanding contributions, such as inventing something.

    In fact, under the rule of the Han Dynasty, until the Republic of China, the relationship between landlords and long-term workers, part-time workers, servants, and maids was mostly employment rather than serfdom. However, some aristocratic families enslaved this employment relationship.  This is Lu Bu's pointIt was done against them. Lu Bu had been doing his best to weaken their military strength before, but for the sake of temporary stability, he did not completely eradicate them. The strong implementation of the abolition order this time was Lu Bu's test for them.  Anyone who rebels or complains too much will be exterminated. After ten years of training, most of Lu Bu's talents come from the middle and lower classes, so he can attack any wealthy family without hesitation.

    Lu Bu used this system to attract more slaves to become free people, and also to undermine the rule of the aristocratic families. When the aristocratic families could not dumb down the farm laborers, they could not arm them into an army. When they faced Lu Bu's court, they had no choice.  Any resistance.  (To be continued)
