When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!
Chapter 335 Zhang Lu sighed: Why didn't you come earlier?
The heavy and ancient city gate slowly opened to both sides with a low roar.
Zhang Lu had a solemn expression on his face. He led his trusted generals and hundreds of fully armed soldiers, and walked out of the city gate slowly with heavy steps.
The entire team was silent, and everyone was immersed in a dull and depressing atmosphere.
The scene of witnessing the power of the cannon was deeply imprinted in their hearts, and everyone present was shocked.
Zhang Lu widened his eyes even more, his heart filled with disbelief.
He had never imagined that there would be such a terrifying weapon in the world. Its earth-shattering destructive power was absolutely beyond human power to contend with.
If a war really breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only would he and his many soldiers be unlikely to escape, but even this county of Henning, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, would most likely be destroyed in the war.
Zhang Lu really couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene.
Without much hesitation, he chose to give up resistance.
Not far from the city gate, Zhu Ming had been staring at the movements ahead, and at this moment he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What Zhu Ming was most worried about before was that the other side would resist stubbornly to the end, in which case both sides would have to engage in a fierce battle.
In the end, those who suffer and are harmed are still the descendants of Yan and Huang living on this land.
"It seems that Zhang Lu is a very wise man. He clearly knows that there is no chance of winning if he continues to fight. He is not like those noble families in the Sui and Tang dynasties who stubbornly resisted until the last moment."
Zhu Di, who was standing aside, stood as straight as a pine tree. His deep and sharp eyes swept across the scene before him and he nodded slightly.
Thinking of his past experiences, he snorted coldly, his voice revealing a hint of coldness and disdain: "Humph! Those so-called aristocratic families have always only cared about their own interests. Apart from money, power and status, they turn a blind eye to everything else. In order to ensure that their own interests are intact, they can do anything! Despicable acts such as collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country are simply commonplace for them."
Recalling the difficult years a few years ago, Zhu Di couldn't help but frown.
At that time, he assisted Yang Guang and Li Yuan in pacifying the world, but encountered extremely fierce counterattacks from the aristocratic families.
Those cities that are firmly controlled by the aristocratic families are like indestructible fortresses, and it costs a lot to conquer each one.
At that time, the weapons and equipment of the coalition forces of all dynasties were still at the level of the agricultural era. The soldiers held swords and shields in their hands, and faced the enemy's strong walls and advanced fortifications, and often fell into tough battles.
Just when the atmosphere was a little heavy.
Zhang Lu was already not far away.
He signaled the soldiers following behind him to stop.
Zhang Lu came to Zhu Di alone.
He clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "I, the guilty minister Zhang Lu, pay my respects to Marshal Zhu!"
Seeing this, Zhu Di raised his arm slightly and responded with a smile: "Please stand up quickly, Governor Zhang. You are very righteous, so how can you say you have committed a crime? Under your careful governance, the people of Bashu can live and work in peace and contentment, and lead a prosperous and happy life. Such achievements are extraordinary. In the future, I will personally report this matter to Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han."
Zhang Lu opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
I just can't understand why, even though I have chosen to surrender, the other side is still holding high the banners of Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han.
Why is this?
Is it possible to add status?
However, Zhang Lu did not feel conflicted.
The winner takes it all. If the other party wins, they can say whatever they want.
Zhang Lu could only pray, "I hope the commander-in-chief can strictly control his soldiers and not harass the people in the city."
Zhu Di raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "Don't worry, Governor Zhang. Our Wanchao coalition has always had strict military discipline, and we will never harass the people. If there is any blind guy who dares to do this, I will kill him with my own hands! If Lao Liu and his son find out that I allow my subordinates to harass the people in this Han land, they will fight me to the death."
When the allied forces of all dynasties were first established.
The soldiers have not changed their mindsets yet and still have many of their previous bandit habits.
There were several incidents of robbery and harassment of civilians.
Zhu Di has always been known for his iron-blooded approach, and he was ruthless when faced with these incidents.
No matter which dynasty the troublemaker came from, he would decisively order him to be beheaded in public and report the matter to the emperor of the troublemaker's era.
It should be noted that although the emperors may be harmonious on the surface, their secret rivalry with each other has never stopped.
As the saying goes, "There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts."
When so many emperors gathered together, it was natural that they would compete to see who was superior and who was inferior.
Most of the soldiers sent by other emperors were able to abide by military discipline and regulations, but those sent by himself dared to burn, kill and loot wantonly!
In this case, how will other emperors view him?
What is lost is not just one individual's reputation, but the entire dynasty he represents will be shamed and humiliated!
The emperor involved was furious.
In ancient times, there was a law of collective punishment.
How could the emperor let it go easily when he brought shame upon himself and the dynasty he represented in front of so many emperors?
Arrange a family match-3 game right away.
From then on, no one in the Wanchao coalition dared to easily violate military rules and discipline.
Later, under Zhu Ming's advocacy, the ideological education of the soldiers was greatly strengthened. As time went on, the ideological concepts of the Wanchao Allied Forces gradually underwent a radical change, and they gradually evolved towards the direction of later generations...
Zhang Lu's heart tightened, and he began to wonder: What does "shoot him" mean? According to common sense, shouldn't the offender be executed?
However, at this moment he had no time to take care of these details, because how the subsequent events developed was beyond his control.
I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that what Zhu Di said is true and that he can truly do what he says.
Zhu Di seemed to see through Zhang Lu's thoughts, but he just smiled slightly and did not explain further.
Things like time travel, even if you tell them yourself, the other person won't believe it.
I guess I'm cursing myself in my heart, wondering if there's something wrong with my brain.
Then, Zhu Di turned to look at a general beside him and ordered loudly: "General Huo, you will lead 20,000 troops into the city first and take over the city's defense. Make sure that the city is in order to prevent those with ill intentions from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. Remember to act with caution and don't take it lightly!"
For safety reasons, Zhu Di did not rashly lead the entire army into the city to avoid unforeseen accidents.
A young general stepped out and said, "I obey your orders!"
Thanks to Zhang Lu's advance order to lay down their weapons, the army led by Huo Qubing was able to take over the city defense without hindrance. Time passed quietly, and about an hour later, Zhu Di's walkie-talkie on his waist suddenly made a slight sound.
He quickly picked up the intercom and heard a clear voice: "Marshal, the city defense has been replaced by our Wanchao coalition army!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly: "Well done."
Then he decisively ordered: "Enter the city!"
Following Zhu Di's order, the allied forces of all dynasties marched into the city in uniform and powerful steps like a steel torrent.
On both sides of the street, some people carefully hid in the dark, secretly watching this strange army.
They were filled with doubts and anxieties, not knowing what would happen next.
After all, in that turbulent ancient society, city lords changed frequently and wars broke out from time to time.
As the saying goes, "When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer."
In feudal society, no matter which dynasty, the common people were always in a disadvantaged position.
Whenever a new force attacks the city, they tend to tremble with fear.
Historical experience tells them that, in many cases, after these armies captured cities, they would allow their soldiers to plunder property, rape women, and burn houses at will...
These atrocities are appalling.
Even when such a horrific incident occurred, the generals often turned a blind eye, and the common people had no place to seek justice and complain. They could only endure the suffering in silence and lament their bad luck.
In an inconspicuous corner, a simple couple was holding a few young children tightly. They secretly cast their gazes towards the huge army entering the city, their eyes full of anxiety and doubt.
One of the older children asked in a worried voice, "Dad, these people look so fierce. Will they take away our land and the remaining sesame cakes?" The childish voice revealed deep concern for the future life.
The father frowned, thought for a moment and then replied: "Let's see the situation first. If they really want to do this, you must take your brothers and sisters and find a safe place to hide." After that, he touched the children's heads lovingly.
The child then asked, "What about you, Dad and Mom?"
The mother quickly took over the conversation and said, "Don't worry, kid. We will go home and pack up the valuables and take them away."
"Mother, is there anything valuable in the house?"
Mother said worriedly, "There are two pieces of clothing passed down from our grandfather, and that blanket. You must take them with you. Winter is coming soon, and we are counting on them to get through the winter."
However, their worries soon disappeared.
The Wanchao coalition forces maintained strict discipline after entering the city.
They quickly divided themselves into many small teams, maintained order in the city in an orderly manner, and actively comforted the frightened people.
When encountering people in need, they will take the initiative to help.
The worries of the people in the city quickly disappeared.
He also took the initiative to deliver water and food to the soldiers who came to help.
In the city, the county magistrate Zhang Lu was respectfully reporting the various situations in Hanning County to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di waved his hand casually and said, "I am only responsible for leading the army to fight. As for how to govern this place, it is not within my scope of responsibility."
Hearing this, Zhang Lu was a little confused, thinking to himself: Since you have occupied this place, don't you plan to manage it well? You can't just leave after having a good meal and a good drink here.
So, what is the point of mobilizing such a large force to capture this place?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lu showed a trace of confusion on his face. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to the general in front of him who was not interested in political affairs.
Zhu Di smiled and patted the other's shoulder gently and said, "Xiao Zhang, I told you a long time ago that I came here to help Lao Liu and his son to calm down the chaos in the world. This world still belongs to the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, there is no doubt about that. In the next period of time, you will continue to shoulder the responsibility of governing Hanning County. However, you must hand over the military power, but don't worry, I will also leave some soldiers here to help you maintain peace and stability here."
Hearing this, Zhang Lu's eyes widened with surprise, and he asked in disbelief, "You want me to continue governing Hanning County?"
If I had known this arrangement, I would have gone thirty miles out of the city to meet you.
Zhu Di nodded and explained, "The reason why I chose you to continue to govern Hanning County is because you are most familiar with the situation here. According to the local people, you have done a good job in governance and can be regarded as a suitable candidate.
Of course, when personnel are rotated in the future, there will be other appointment arrangements, and you may have to work elsewhere.
There are some newly formulated policies that need to be implemented as soon as possible.
If you encounter any difficulties or obstacles during the implementation process, feel free to speak up without being afraid of offending others.
I believe that it won’t be long before you will witness with your own eyes the tremendous changes that will take place in the entire Han Dynasty.”
A thick stack of documents was placed in front of Zhang Lu.
Every page is densely filled with various government decrees and provisions.
These decrees were all drawn up by Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han, absorbing the essence of various dynasties. After careful screening, they were considered to be extremely suitable for the current social situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Lu slowly stretched out his hand and gently picked up the top document.
His eyes fell on the document, and line after line of text came into view: "Remeasure all lands and distribute them reasonably to the people." As he read deeper, Zhang Lu's eyes widened and the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense.
After reading the whole article, he could no longer suppress his excitement and couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "This is a good policy that truly benefits the country and the people!"
Seeing this, Zhu Ming, who was standing nearby, smiled and reminded: "The decree is indeed brilliant, but if it only stays on paper, it will ultimately be difficult to play a practical role. Only by effectively promoting and implementing it can its value be demonstrated."
Zhang Lu nodded in agreement, but at the same time, a trace of worry appeared on his face. He whispered, "I'm afraid this won't be that easy to achieve. Most of the farmland in Hanning County is controlled by the big families and landlords in the city. How can they easily give up their interests?"
Zhu Di suddenly laughed and said confidently: "Do they really think that our coalition army is a vegetarian? I also asked Zhang Xutuo to stay and assist you, and show you how we, the Sui Dynasty, dealt with those aristocratic landlords in the past."
Zhang Lu looked through all the documents.
The body is shaking constantly.
Many of the above decrees surprised and impressed me greatly.
A series of policies including universal health care, universal education, etc.
Zhang Lu had a premonition.
The big man who is swaying in the wind and rain may be reborn and become stronger than ever.
At this moment, Zhang Lu was a little emotional, why didn't you come earlier! (End of this chapter)
