Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Tulu Zhijin's 100,000-strong army was defeated in the Xiezang Valley, and the 8,000 armored elite cavalry that swept across the world were wiped out. In less than two months after leaving Sichuan, Lu Bu occupied all the northwest territory and defeated the famous generals of the Yuan Dynasty. The northwest is king.

It was only then that the imperial court realized the terror of this man who had never been king, and quickly mobilized an army to invite Lu Bu to be killed. However, at this time, Lu Bu had already moved out of Sichuan, and even occupied a large number of cities in the northwest. With a very high reputation, when he left Sichuan, all the people flocked to him wherever he went.

After the defeat in the Xiefang Valley, Tulu Zhijin, who had defeated many rebels in the south, was beaten by Lu Bu and was unable to fight back. He even died in the Xiefang Valley, which brought Lu Bu's prestige to its peak and the people of Zhongzhou's feelings towards the Manchus. Fear was also shattered with this battle. The army sent by the imperial court did not have a famous general like Tulu Zhijin to lead it. Lu Bu first lured the enemy with a small defeat, and then completely defeated it by taking advantage of the favorable location.

Two consecutive defeats also made the Manchu Dynasty realize how terrifying Lu Bu was. However, what was even more terrifying was that Lu Bu's general Liu Kaida suddenly went down the river and captured Jingzhou, and then began to quickly sweep across the Manchao cities near Jingzhou.

With the withdrawal of Tulu Zhijin's troops, the defense in the south was already weak, and with the remaining rebels welcoming him, Liu Kaida felt like he was in an uninhabited land in the south, quickly opening up the situation and echoing Lu Bu's north and south.

Faced with Lu Bu's pressing pressure, the Manchu Dynasty had no choice but to move to Shangdu after losing a series of battles. From west to east, after passing the Hengduan Mountains, there was a large number of plains, which were suitable for cavalry to gallop. Although Lu Bu also had some A group of cavalry, but to say that a large number of cavalry regiments are fighting, the number is far less than that of the Manchu Dynasty.

But when Lu Bu was here, countless people from Zhongzhou welcomed him. The two sides attacked each other in the Central Plains and fought each other for three full years. Lu Bu finally used a flood to flood the three armies and completely drove them to the north bank of the river.

It's funny to say that if the Manchus didn't care about the life and death of the people and did not repair the river after it burst its banks and allowed it to overflow, forcing the people in this area to leave their homes and turning this area into a dead land, Lu Bu would definitely not dare to ignore thousands of people. The people lived and died using water to attack this method.

But this time, Lu Bu wiped out 300,000 Manchu troops in a water attack, directly shattering the last vitality of the Manchu Dynasty.

After that, Lu Bu did not give the Manchu Dynasty much chance to breathe. At this point in the war, although the people in the north were still under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, their hearts had already turned to Lu Bu's side. As a result, every time Lu Bu went to one place, he would There were people who helped open the city gates or delivered food and supplies.

The Manchu Dynasty was dissatisfied and furious about this situation, and massacred three cities in an attempt to shock the people.

However, when the two sides fought to this point, the fear of the Manchus in the hearts of the people had long since disappeared. The shortcomings of the Manchu dynasty's use of force to establish a country and then to use force to rule the country were also fully reflected at this time. They used killings to make the people fear them. When their force was strong, , people naturally dare not resist in order to make a living.

However, now that the Manchu Dynasty was over, they were defeated by Lu Bu on the battlefield of Zhongzhou. At this time, the deterrence was no longer enough. Nearly 30,000 soldiers died during the massacre of the city, and more than a dozen cities directly killed their officials and stood on their own initiative, surrendering on their own initiative. Lu Bu was so frightened that the whole court no longer dared to threaten to massacre the city.

Only then did the Manchu court understand the importance of people's hearts and began to promulgate a series of policies to benefit the people, such as tax reductions and exemptions, the abolition of corvee service, the possibility of intermarriage between Manchus and Zhongzhou people, and the same crimes committed by Manchus and Zhongzhou people, etc... …

But let’s not talk about whether the people of Zhongzhou still recognized this issue. The Manchu court believed that this decree threatened the interests of its own officials. It failed to win over the people and instead caused their own officials to collectively denounce and resist.

There was a lot of quarrel in the court for a while, and no one even stopped Lu Bu from crossing the river. The biggest problem of the Manchu Dynasty was not external, but internally, the overflow of rights of the privileged class had already begun to decay, so that Lu Bu crossed the river and easily defeated the Manchu Dynasty. Power is eradicated from the local area.

Those nobles who liked the slaughterhouse were skinned and cramped by the angry people. Some crazy people forced them to watch their wives and children tortured to death just like the people they slaughtered.

This is certainly wrong, but Lu Bu doesn't care. People's grievances need to be vented. As long as it's not excessive, Lu Bu won't care.

Under this silent connivance, the nobles of the Manchu dynasty who remained among the people were almost killed to extinction. Naturally, there were grievances, but at this moment, in order to restore the world as soon as possible, Lu Bu did not care about that much, and continued to fight until he went to Beijing. The imperial court had just reacted, but at this time, the Manchu Dynasty was really exhausted. After reluctantly spending a year with Lu Bu, Lu Bu finally broke through Shangjing and completely withdrew from the territory of Zhongzhou.

Although Lu Bu wanted to kill them all, once they entered the grassland, the world was full of people. Fighting deep into the grassland was not impossible, but it only required a lot of manpower and material resources.

In the land of Zhongzhou, the rebels in the south who had been retreating before took advantage of the gap between Lu Bu and the Manchus to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the southern area that Lu Bu had not had time to occupy.

Lu Bu could only leave Zhang Guangyao to guard here, and led his army back to the south. After joining Liu Kaida, he began to clear out the southern rebels and completely unify Zhongzhou.

He thought it was a simple matter, but after arriving in the south, Lu Bu discovered that things were far from as simple as he imagined, because the north had been enslaved by the Manchus for many years, causing a large number of people to choose to move south.

Decades after the establishment of the Manchu dynasty, the population in the south was no worse than that in the north, or even worse. Although Lu Bu successfully expelled the Manchus and gained Sichuan, he was blocked by the southern rebels several times when crossing the river.

Except for Liu Kaida, Lu Bu had no one under his command who was good at water warfare, and the navy army was even more lacking. In front of the southern rebels who were good at water warfare, although Lu Bu had soldiers and horses that were world-renowned, he was unable to reach the enemy. Several times There was nowhere to use their strength in the battle, and in the end they could only confront the southern rebels across the river.

In the next few years, Lu Bu began to seriously study the southern rebels, including how they gained the hearts and minds of the people, their financial resources, their fighting methods, and how they recruited craftsmen to study advanced warships.

In fact, Lu Bu had never seen the warships of the Han Dynasty. During the Great Qian Dynasty, because Lu Boyong planned everything for Lu Bu, Lu Bu did not need to care about these. But this time, Lu Bu not only had to be responsible for the people's livelihood, but also studied the enemy's weaknesses. .

Not to mention the economy in the south, it is much easier to transport goods than in the north. Boats are the mainstay, and the boats here are not the flat-bottomed boats Lu Bu has seen. They have pointed bottoms, which can be more stable in the water. .

And because of the waterways all over the country, water transportation in the south is very developed. Lu Bu has actually experienced this. Whether it was his previous fight with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's transportation method, or water transportation during the Great War was very convenient, and the labor cost could be greatly reduced. reduce.

But now the Southern Rebels have given Lu Bu a new direction, water trade!

The profits generated by applying the developed water transportation in the south to trade were beyond Lu Bu's imagination.

Because the Manchu Dynasty had controlled the world for many years, most of the interests were occupied by the imperial court, and the people had little way to make a living, so many people began to engage in private salt production to secretly accumulate costs. Some people also sent Zhongzhou's porcelain along the river and sold it to overseas countries to earn a lot of trade. .

Zhongzhou's porcelain, silk, and tea seemed to be very popular in overseas vassals. These rebels obtained a large amount of property and were able to form their own army. The rebels who made trouble in the south in recent years almost all relied on maritime trade. Accumulate a large amount of property in a short period of time, then recruit troops and horses to continue to compete with the court.

Without the huge profits brought by shipping, the southern economy would not have been able to develop so quickly.

Lu Bu gradually figured out the opponent's financial resources. He asked Liu Kaida to train the navy at the coastal port. At the same time, he sent envoys to various countries to capture these maritime trade lines in his own hands.

After the economy was damaged, these rebels who were not prepared to fight Lu Bu to the end began to launch a fierce counterattack, which was far more fierce than the previous fight against the Manchu Dynasty.

And Lu Bu also discovered that the disadvantages brought about by the convenient water transportation in the south could easily create tyrannical forces in some places.

Lu Bu studied the topography of the southern states and found that not all places were rich. There were only a few places that could support a strong naval force. However, these places had only one thing in common, which was that they had access to rivers and seas, and had rivers and seas connected to them. There are rivers inside the port that connect the entire state capital. For example, a state capital has a main river that can run through most places without interruption. This allows resources from various places to be quickly concentrated through the inland rivers, and then through the rivers and seas. Transported to where needed.

Such a place can often be extremely wealthy and have enough money and food to support troops, but it is also easy for such a place to form local forces that can compete with the imperial court.

After understanding these problems, Lu Bu did not rush to attack south. Instead, he continued to strengthen his power at sea and blocked the exit of the river. This was equivalent to cutting off the river's port to overseas.

A large number of forces whose interests were damaged began to attack Lu Bu crazily, and they spent all their money trying to bribe Lu Bu's officials.

Of course, there were those who could not resist the temptation and defected, but these were all within Lu Bu's expectations. He held the military power tightly. Those rebels who were not captured and killed could only cross the river sadly.

Among those who crossed the river, Lu Bu took the opportunity to let a few of his own people in, and began to persuade some of them to surrender to Lu Bu.

At the beginning, some southern cities took the initiative to join Lu Bu, and Lu Bu began to have the capital to cross the river. Then after reaching the south bank, a great plague broke out on Lu Bu's side, which forced him to give up the difficulty, and then he cultivated for nearly ten years. , Lu Bu had just crossed the river again, and with the further blockade of Lu Bu over the years, the profits of many southern forces continued to shrink, and the number of soldiers and horses became smaller and smaller, and they were eventually swallowed up by Lu Bu.

It took Lu Bu nearly ten years to expel the Manchu dynasty, and nearly fifteen years to cross the river to attack the south. When the world was unified, Lu Bu was already fifty-five years old, but he looked quite energetic.

The world has been decided, Lu Bu began to seriously establish national policies for the world he had built. He wanted to pass on this world that belongs to him forever. This is not only for this simulated world, but also for thinking in reality...
