    As Xun Yu and others left, the news spread all over the country, north and south, and all over China, as if it had wings.

    People were very enthusiastic.

    The momentum of the Six Hussars Army to sweep across the world seems to be unstoppable. So, if Wang Yu takes it to face and explains it personally, there is more than a 90% chance that it will become a national policy in the future.

    National policy, also known as the foundation of the country, the foundation of the country, naturally cannot be easily shaken.  Generally speaking, even if there is a change of dynasty, it will mostly follow the rules and regulations, and some shortcomings will be corrected in a targeted manner, but no fundamental changes will be made.

    The first person in history to eat crabs was Emperor Qin Yingzheng. After the Qin State wiped out the six eastern kingdoms, he did not continue the feudal system since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but established a unified empire.

    Many people believe that it was precisely because of this change that people were overwhelmed that the huge Qin Empire was short-lived and came to an end after only two generations of emperors.  The subsequent Han Empire learned this lesson and did not make many innovations when rebuilding a new empire on the ruins. As a result, the country's destiny lasted four hundred years.

    Now it is about to change again. Is it progress or a historical regression?

    Such doubts hover in the minds of many people, but these are not the focus of more people's attention.  Historical significance is something that only those scholars who have less time to study have the time to study. What can arouse the public's attention are those things that are closely related to their own interests.

    Scholars have the greatest response. Children of aristocratic families have a higher proportion of education and a deeper understanding of policies.  In an era when Confucianism had not yet been promoted to the altar, the thinking of intellectuals was not restricted, and they all had their own unique views and understandings when facing the same things.

    Legalist believers rejoice over this.

    Even if you haven¡¯t seen the true contents of the two decrees.  Just looking at the surface, they can all feel the positive meaning from Wang Yu's actions.

    Isn¡¯t it?  When most of the world is settled.  The Cavalry General was not in a hurry to build momentum for his family, to ascend to the altar or anything like that.  Instead, we plan to legislate first.  And instead of working behind closed doors, we collect opinions from a wide range of people in a very humble and tolerant manner. This is simply the spring of Legalism!

    "After these Legalist believers, who had suppressed themselves for a long time and could only live as half-Legalists and half-Confucians, or even only as officials in the name of punishment, or even as cruel officials, carefully studied the contents of the decree, for a while.  Everyone's eyes filled with tears and they were so moved that they couldn't help themselves.

    Weakening the imperial power, weakening the power of wealthy families, and replacing it with laws to restrain and maintain the operation of the country. This can no longer be described as spring. It is completely skipping the cold winter and entering the midsummer.

    The Qin State at that time claimed to use Legalist theory, but those who have really studied that period of history will definitely not agree with this.  Qin's laws were just for more convenient and faster centralization of power.  All the resources of the country were concentrated in the hands of the emperor, allowing him to use them for external conquests or to squander them for pleasure.

    This is the reason why that huge, seemingly invincible and powerful empire collapsed in just a few decades.  It adheres to the twisted legalist doctrine, and the harsh laws bring people not protection, but a suffocating sense of oppression.

    Now.  The new dynasty is about to be established, and the atmosphere will take on a completely new look.  This is the time for Legalist disciples to show their talents!

    Without much hesitation or hesitation, the Legalist disciples went to Luoyang one after another.  Prepare to meet Wang Yu and show off your ambitions.

    Even Wang Yu did not expect that there were so many relatively pure Legalist believers in the world. In just three months, more than 500 scholars gathered to pay their respects.

    ???????? Among them were the Shu Han name Fa Zhengfa Xiaozhi who he had been searching for but could not find since he had forgotten his place of origin, and Li Yan and Man Chong who he had found before but failed to persuade.

    But if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising.  The principles of Legalism were not very strong to begin with. The founder Xun Kuang was regarded as a Confucian sage in later generations, and his disciples Han Fei and Li Si were also the kind of people who did not care about sects and only cared about practical interests.

    Therefore, even after the two cultural catastrophes of Emperor Qin¡¯s burning of books and Emperor Wu¡¯s respect for Confucianism, Legalism did not have much influence. It just changed its purpose again, from legal law to Confucian jurisprudence.

    With the addition of such a large number of talents, the legislative work will naturally be greatly accelerated, but Wang Yu is not in a hurry. He has to wait for the news to continue to ferment to see if it can arouse further reactions.

    The system he planned to establish was actually similar to the enfeoffment system in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. He believed that this was the most suitable system for expansion and required the lowest conditions.

    Historically, it was under the drive and maintenance of such a system that Europeans completed the largest expansion in the history of human civilization. Except for the North and South Poles, civilizationCovering almost every corner of the world.

    However, he is not a historian and cannot guarantee that his ideas are correct, so he just provides an idea, establishes corresponding principles, and then brainstorms to build a system that is relatively most suitable for the current situation and echoes his expectations.  come out.

    Therefore, there is no need to rush to conclusions.

    After Legalism, Mohism and Taoism also had successors arriving one after another.

    In the action of deposing hundreds of schools of thought led by Dong Zhongshu, the key targets were Mohists and Taoists, in addition to businessmen.  Xu Rong and Ma Jun inherited only one of them, and more Mohist disciples were lost among the people. Some simply disappeared, and some were passed down from generation to generation and were unknown.

    This time Wang Yu publicly declared to the world, the effect was quite good. Related discussions could be heard in the streets and by the wells. Those who were hiding in the mountains and among the people also got the news. After careful consideration, they finally decided to  Unable to resist the temptation to restore the sect, they came out one after another.

    This is just the beginning.

    This autumn, or rather this year, is destined to become an important mark in history.

    This is the starting point for the revival of Chinese culture. In Wang Yu¡¯s previous life, those schools that were lost in history came out from unknown places. Many schools, not to mention Wang Yu, even the learned Cai Yong and Tian Feng  I can't even explain why.

    Wang Yu can already imagine how people will evaluate this period of history after the empire has continued for hundreds of years.  How do Europeans evaluate the Renaissance?  Then the Han people would have similar comments on this period of history.

    What follows after the cultural renaissance is the rapid progress of science and technology.  What Wang Yu has done in Qingzhou in recent years.  It can only be said that we are taking the lead in the next few decades.  The improvement of the Han Empire in this field cannot be accurately described by the word "leap".

    With these two aspects of progress, what will follow will of course be China's unprecedented expansion.  On the map Wang Yu held in his arms, a super empire had already taken shape, and the next step was to realize it.

    "Compared to this, reunification can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous trivial matter, not to mention.  This year was not the year when the Central Plains was truly unified.

    Since Wang Yu took control of Qingzhou, it can be said that there have been continuous wars in the past few years.  No matter how wealthy Qingzhou is, and no matter how well-prepared the General Mansion is, they cannot withstand the huge consumption of war.

    In addition, after the victory in the war, Qingzhou's territory more than doubled. To stabilize such a large territory, it would take a lot of manpower and resources.

    Therefore, in the past few months, the Qingzhou Army on all fronts has focused on control.  There is no intention of starting a series of wars.  Although the war has not yet ended, and all parties are preparing their troops or licking their wounds, the war has indeed come to an end.

    Cao Cao was still hesitant about Wang Yu¡¯s invitation.  No final decision has been made.

    From his true heart, he would rather become a prince, but it¡¯s a pity.  Wang Yu was unwilling to give him this opportunity and would rather give him the position of prime minister.  Nor was she willing to let him out of her sight.

    Wang Yu is confident that Cao Cao will have to submit in the end.  His capital was limited and he didn't have much room for maneuver.

    And as time goes by, Cao Cao's capital will only become less and less, not the other way around.

    Without the support of Kuai and Cai, Cao Cao would not be able to replenish his military strength in Jingzhou.  It's not difficult to catch strong men, but where do the equipment and food come from?  If Yu Jin attacked Xiangyang during the rainy season, he might have a chance to boost his momentum with a big victory and get more aristocratic families to provide substantial support, but now, he could only stare.

    The loss of talent is even more fatal.  In less than half a year, dozens of famous people under Cao Cao, including Man Chong, Du Ji, Dong Zhao, etc., abandoned their posts and left, including even important ministers like Cheng Yu and Zhong Yao!

    Some of these people went to Luoyang, and some went back home directly.  Anyway, the situation is like this. Even Cao Cao, the lord, is considering surrender. Is there any need for anyone to persist to the end?

    In the end, he stayed with Cao Cao, and the only staff members other than his relatives were Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

    "Compared with Cao Ying's disintegration, Jiangdong and Yizhou are full of fighting spirit.

    Jiangdong is mainly because Sun Ce is here. This little overlord of Jiangdong is not someone who gives up easily. In the past six months, he has been preparing to fight again.

    He himself was in charge of Moling City, training his soldiers and horses while inspecting defense to ensure the security of the territory along the river.

    On the other hand, he sent Zhou Yu to negotiate with the Shanyue tribes, and coerced and induced a Shanyue army to come out. Coupled with the new soldiers recruited from Jiangxia, Jingnan, and Huainan, the losses of the Jiangdong Army in the previous war were almost made up.  Now, we have it again??The power of one battle.

    Wang Yu was very emotional after learning about Jiang Dong's situation.  Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone a fierce person like Sun Ce?

    In order to avoid over-advancement and the expansion of the war, Wang Yu temporarily canceled the navy's attack on Jiangdong, but ordered Zhang Liao stationed in Hefei to take strict precautions. He also transferred back Zhang Jiao's cavalry commander, preparing to wait until the Jingzhou problem was resolved, and then start from the Three Kingdoms.  Attack in two directions at the same time.  If necessary, he wouldn't mind going on another expedition in person and hunting with Sun Ce in Jiangdong.

    However, there is no chance of his plan being implemented.

    On the first day of December, Wang Yu received urgent military information from Pang Tong, and got something that was beyond his expectation, but something he had known for a long time

    Sun Ce is dead!

    Died by assassination!

    According to official news from Jiangdong, the assassins of Sun Ce were three of Xu Gong¡¯s retainers.  However, Pang Tong mentioned another possibility in his letter.

    Although no conclusive evidence has been obtained, Pang Tong combined the internal situation in Jiangdong and added some clues to speculate that Sun Ce probably died at the hands of his own people.

    Wang Yu was very surprised by this conclusion, so he immediately wrote back to Pang Tong, asking the latter to investigate the matter thoroughly.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
