Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After formulating various strategies, the first thing Ma Chao had to do was to give Yuan Shao and other princes a powerful moral counterattack and gain great righteousness.  In the morning of the next day, Ma Chao rarely showed his face. After the ceremony, he stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there are rebel leaders such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Xun, etc., who have sent troops to attack Jingzhou and Xuzhou. As a result, war troubles have occurred again in the Han Dynasty.  The people are in ruins. As a minister of the country, I have decided to send troops to quell the rebellion and bring peace to the world. I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an edict to punish the thieves!  Canceling the thieves! ""Except for a few highly respected people such as Ding Yuan, Cai Yong, and Yang Biao, most of them were promoted and arranged by Ma Chao, so they naturally want to support Ma Chao at this moment.  Liu Xie is about to turn fourteen, and with the guidance of Empress Dowager Dong, he is most aware of the trouble between Ma Chao and Yuan Shao.  He also knew in his heart that he would not be able to keep the throne sooner or later. Needless to say, if Ma Chao won, he would definitely not have a good life if Yuan Shao won.  Unless there are princes who are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty who can rise and have the ability to pacify the world.  "My dear friends! I have also heard about Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others sending troops. When the Dong thieves rebelled against the capital, these people also raised troops to serve the king! Today, the Han Dynasty is in misfortune, and all the princes in the world have separated themselves and established themselves. Shu  Liu Yan even proclaimed himself king and emperor. Instead of attacking Liu Yan, the various princes fought against each other, which really put me in a difficult position." Ma Chao frowned, secretly scolding Liu Xie for not being able to praise him, and then said: "Your Majesty.  What's the difficulty? Yuan Shao and others were originally Han ministers, but now they have no respect for the emperor and have no regard for the imperial court. They have gathered people to rebel and conquer the prefectures. Your Majesty only needs to issue an edict and seal it with a jade seal!  The general has already finished the preparations, so I won¡¯t bother Your Majesty! In addition, I noticed that the second lady of the Cai family is still young, so in order to relieve Your Majesty¡¯s loneliness, I specially selected a group of beautiful girls from among the people to serve as beauties.  It's about to be served!" Liu Xie's expression changed. He knew that Ma Chao's move was just to put eyes and ears around him in order to firmly control him. However, seeing that Ma Chao's eyes were not good, he did not dare to object at the moment and said awkwardly: "In that case,  There is General Lao. I wish the general great success and a triumphant return soon! " "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Chao has already drafted an edict to punish thieves. In this era, when sending troops to fight, it is most important to have a good reputation. If you do not have a good reputation, you will lose the support of the people.  Yuan Shao wrote a petition to impeach Ma Chao in advance, which listed various crimes against Ma Chao. The purpose was to undermine Ma Chao's prestige in the north and let everyone in the world know that he, Yuan Shao, was the righteous master.  And Ma Chao refused to show weakness. The purpose of asking for the imperial edict was also to undermine Yuan Shao's prestige, emphasizing that he was a teacher of justice. As for who is right and wrong, everyone in the world can judge for themselves.  However, Ma Chao's propaganda intensity was not comparable to that of Yuan Shao. He handed the edict against thieves to Chen Lin and had it printed, and 200,000 copies were printed in less than two days.  Not only that, Ma Chao also personally drafted a letter to inform the people of the world, announcing to the world various policies that benefit the people in the northern land.  It also publicized some things that were unfavorable to Yuan Shao and others, such as Cao Cao's killing of Lu Boshe's family, Yuan Shao's seizure of Yangzhou, and other remarks that were not conducive to the princes of all walks of life.  These things were printed on both sides of a piece of paper, and were stamped with the national jade seal. They were named the first issue of the Han Quarterly Report. The influence they produced was by no means comparable to that of Yuan Shao's single proclamation.  Subsequently, Ma Chao made full use of the caravans of the Wei, Zhen, and Mi families as well as retired veterans to take charge of propaganda work. For a time, thousands of people wandered around the states and counties of the Han Dynasty carrying paper leaflets, and the people were excited!  People all over the country already knew a little about Ma Chao's policies in the north. This time, Ma Chao not only vigorously promoted the three-point grain system and the military pay system, but also revealed some of the education work that had been prepared. The leaflets themselves were printed on paper.  It¡¯s hard to believe!  The announcement of the military pay system was a heavy blow to the princes. Their soldiers did not have any military pay. It was good to have enough to eat, and their death was in vain. Compared with the soldiers under Ma Chao, it was simply  One in heaven and one on earth, there is no comparison.  When the soldiers under Yuan Shao and others learned about this incident, their morale suddenly became unstable. They also charged into the battle. Not to mention that their service was in vain, and there was no guarantee at all.  They also charge into battle, have money while they are alive, are armed to the teeth, and even if they die, they will receive high pensions to support their families.  Even more powerful, Ma Chao's leaflet was extremely provocative, vigorously criticizing the evils of aristocratic families annexing land and exploiting domestic slaves, and stated his consistent determination to suppress powerful landlords and abolish the slavery system.  As for the princes from all walks of life, Ma Chao also criticized them with fierce words. They wooed the powerful and exploited the people, causing the people to live in dire straits. Now they have launched wars for their own selfish interests, leaving countless people homeless, with no land to cultivate, and no food to eat.  Cooking.  Finally, Ma Chao solemnly promised that all Han people, whether ordinary people or slaves of aristocratic families, as long as they are willing to come to the north, willEveryone who works hard will be properly accommodated.  The people and slaves who stayed in their hometown, as long as they did not help the tyrants and did not go against Ma Chao's counter-rebellion army, they would all be able to enjoy the policies of the north after the world was unified and the national laws were unified.  When Yuan Shao and others mobilized their troops and sent out troops to conquer horses, these leaflets from Ma Chao had been secretly spread among the Han Dynasty.  A single spark can start a prairie fire. This leaflet was handwritten by Ma Chao in regular script. The workers then printed it to make a printing plate, completely maintaining its originality.  Although most of the people are illiterate, they are not all illiterate. As long as someone is literate, the news will naturally be passed on.  Sure enough, in less than half a month, the world was shaken. The people in the north were already used to it after seeing Ma Chao's various measures, but the people in the south were completely excited. At that time, many homeless young refugees and slaves from aristocratic families came to Jizhou.  , Bingzhou, Sili, Guanzhong and other places fled.  The most ruthless one is Ma Chao's psychological offensive. He has the emperor and the imperial court in his hands, and he has never done anything unethical to the people of the world, so he has a very high reputation among the people.  This time, in the name of the emperor, he directly labeled Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others as rebels.  He also made a big propaganda in the territory of the Han Dynasty. On the battlefield, if the officers, generals and others could lead the army to surrender, they would be rewarded heavily, and they would be protected by the imperial court and put into important use.  Soldiers who voluntarily lay down their weapons and surrender, regardless of their origins, can be incorporated into the army or civilians in the north, and given land to solve the problem of wives.  Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy, and all the young and strong men in their direct family members will be demoted to slaves and forced to do hard labor until they die of exhaustion!  Women with childbearing potential were given to single men in the farming camps to start new families.  The old and the weak will be directly punished as rebels and should be beheaded according to the laws of the Han Dynasty. They will never be tolerated.
