Chapter 62 Shunchang's Rebellion
The battle to suppress the rebels was not very vigorous, but its speed was completely beyond many people's estimates. Among them, not only were the important officials in Chengdu, but also Zhang Lu, the Hanning King of Hanzhong, and Cao Cao, who was plotting against Lu Killer and planning to deal with Lu Killer in one battle.
In just a few days, Pang Xi died, and after another few days, Zhao Wei also died.
This battle, which was about to add up, was less than a month, and more time was spent on the road.
Among the major forces, Liu Xie, who seemed the weakest and least lethal, lit up his fangs for the first time and easily quelled the civil strife.
It was this battle that made the whole people of Yizhou immediately put aside their contempt and some internal small contradictions disappeared. Of course, greater contradictions and undercurrents were hidden. And this undercurrent is actually not an undercurrent for Liu Xie.
The Military Affairs Office has different information coming in every day. Liu Xie is very clear about the movements of those aristocratic families.
In fact, the rebellion of Pang and Zhao happened to be a chance for Liu Xie to show his strength. After Liu Xie moved the capital, he thought of using a chicken to kill the monkey. The chicken he chose was originally from the Nanzhong Man, but unexpectedly, Zhao and Pang jumped out to find trouble at this time.
Compared with the Nanzhongman, Zhao Pang and others are actually more adapted to the role of "Chicken", so their fate is so destined.
After staying in Pingdu for three days, he saw that everything was resolved; Gan Ning took his subordinates and went to Yufu; Zhou Cang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei took his subordinates to Jiameng Pass. So Liu Xie also left Pingdu with his troops and a thousand surrendered soldiers picked out.
At this time, the troops in Liu Xie's hands were less than three thousand former imperial guards, one thousand surrendered soldiers, and more than four hundred Shenwu Guards.
After staying in Zhixian for a day and dealing with the family who had a connection with Zhao Wei in Xiazhixian, Liu Xie and Liu Bei returned to Jiangzhou.
In Jiangzhou, Liu Xie was also not ruthless, but this time, Liu Bei bit the bullet and acted as an executioner. Liu Bei wanted to protect himself, so Liu Xie naturally would not let him go easily. How many people in Jiangzhou had had sex with Zhao Wei? Liu Xie knew very well. When he was in Qunin, Liu Xie got a list.
Although the noble families and prominent families in Jiangzhou City all stood in the right team at the last moment, the previous sway made Liu Xie very angry, and it is natural to settle the accounts after the autumn. The prominent families in Jiangzhou, the Zhang family, the Deng family, the Yuan family... more than a dozen families were knocked over by Liu Bei one by one.
Even though he did not collude with Zhao Wei, as a prominent family, he bullied the people and bullied the market. There were too many reasons why Liu Xie wanted to deal with them. Therefore, when Liu Bei had to raise his butcher sword to these families under the instruction of Liu Xie, these families were all afraid.
Therefore, after Liu Xie made the angry and resentful things in Jiangzhou, he gave all the land obtained from those aristocratic families to the common people. As a result, the angry and resentful things were directly covered up, and the people were extremely happy. The prominent families of the aristocratic families regarded Liu Xie as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.
On the way to leave Jiangzhou, Guo Jia carefully reminded Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, it may be inappropriate to act like this!"
"Fengxiao is worried that those noble families will unite to fight against me!" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia with a smile on his face. After being confirmed, Liu Xie laughed out loud, "If you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished! I have thought about these things, but I think that as long as I can maintain this momentum and continue to win, those noble families will know how to do it. As long as we can win, they will not dare to make any waves. For a long time..."
"But……"
Liu Xie interrupted Guo Jia and said seriously: "Fengxiao! Do you think if I let them go today, will they be grateful to me?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Impossible! All the people in the aristocratic family think about is based on their own family's interests! Even if they are grateful today, if it is related to the interests of their family, they will still put their interests first. But what if they unite and incite the people to rebel!"
Liu Xie chuckled and said, "So, I didn't force them to a dead end, right? Although I took their land, the royal money house still allocated benefits to them. If they were not too stupid, they would know what to do! Even if they really wanted to rebel, they should think about the fate of Zhao and Pang. How many people do you think are willing to take such risks?"
Guo Jia sighed softly, knowing that he could not persuade Liu Xie.
Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Liu Xie said again: "Fengxiao, I know what you are worried about! It's just that these noble families control a considerable number, or the vast majority of talents and property, and fighting with them will not be of any benefit to our future! But, don't forget that there are so many noble families in the world, and my choices can also be many. As long as I make a gesture, a gesture that can reach the top as long as I rely on me, will those noble families who want to surpass other noble families really be willing to give up this opportunity so easily?"
"That's right! I have killed many people and destroyed many noble families. But have I moved the noble families and noble families who are loyal to me?" Liu Xie rode Bu Jing, looked up at the sky, looked at the slightly hazy sky, and said disdainfully: "As for those noble families who are unfaithful to me and have been unwilling to me, what's the use of keeping them?"
Liu Xie knew that it was basically impossible to eliminate the influence of the aristocratic family. Even with the rise of the imperial examination system, the influence of the aristocratic family would also exist. For thousands of years, the concept of the family has been deeply rooted in China. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to change this situation. Even in the later era when everyone was claimed to be equal, were there all kinds of injustice?
But so what? As long as those aristocratic families are obedient and can limit their development, this is enough. Since we have come to this era and as emperors, we naturally have to "whoever is in favor will prosper, and those who are in opposition will perish"! Those who are loyal to me will give you the benefits and honors you deserve, and those who are not loyal to me will die!
Feeling Liu Xie’s thoughts, Guo Jia couldn’t help but nod and said no more.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to Chengdu or to Jiameng Pass?" Lu Meng asked after coming to Guanghan County.
"Return to Chengdu! If I go to Jiameng Pass at this time, Zhang Lu will probably be scared and hunch it down. That would be awful! Moreover, there are many things to be dealt with in Chengdu!" Liu Xie raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "There are many county magistrates who have been beheaded by me this time, and the appointment and removal of officials in these places also need to be implemented!"
After pausing, he said again: "Besides, the eagle training of the Military Affairs Office should have begun. This matter is more important than anything else. You can get some snacks when you are filial!"
Guo Jia opened the folding fan with a squeak, laughing: "Don't worry, your Majesty, everything is ready, I only need the North Wind!"
"I hope they don't let me down too much!"
"That depends on their attitude! But from the moment, they seem to be very well-behaved!"
"It's good to be well-behaved, otherwise, don't blame me for not giving them a chance!"
...
The conversation between the two made Lu Meng and Guan Ping a little confused, let alone Wei Yan, who was full of desire to make achievements.
