Chapter 38: Lift the clouds and see the blue sky

The ministers from the wealthy family saw that the king of Qin quickly took down the imperial historian and thoroughly investigated the county guard of the wealthy clan in Longxi County.

I can't help but feel like I'm killing chickens and making an example of monkeys!

They were furious!

It was common for the Great Qin Hao clan to annex land.

Even if the Qin kings of the past dynasties knew the stakes and the stakes, they never dared to take the Hao clan because of the same spirit and branches, advancing and retreating together.

To put it mildly, to take the Hao clan is to shake the foundation of Great Qin's stability.

Unexpectedly, Yingzheng broke a precedent.

However, the ministers of the wealthy clan dare not speak out.

The King of Qin was immensely majestic and killed.

If you hit him, you might have to hit your head on the spot.

Suddenly, the huge palace was silent.

......

After retiring from the dynasty, Yingzheng left behind the prime minister and the taiwei.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to do something to the Hao clan?" said Taiwei Menghu, worried.

Sima Yi didn't show any emotion, he still looked indifferent, and stood with his hands in his hands.

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed:

"Taiwei, the widow is just preparing to beat these wealthy clans through the Ma clan and let them restrain a little. ”

In fact, he didn't want to wipe out these dozens of wealthy families, so as to nationalize the world's fertile land.

Let the cultivator have his field, and the one who has the land can be satisfied.

There are no more hungry people in the world who are starving to death.

The tax burden on the national treasury can also be greatly increased.

However, the reality does not allow for this.

There are dozens of wealthy families in Daqin, all of whom have private armies.

Ranging from a few thousand, to a hundred or twenty thousand.

Together, the total number of private armies of all the Hao clans exceeded 150,000, and compared with the regular army of the Great Qin Imperial Court, the difference in the number between the two was no more than 50,000.

They occupy a lot of fertile land and are rich in oil.

The private army of the Hao clan is well-equipped and well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is not much better than that of the regular army.

The ancestors of the Ying clan established Great Qin with the help of the strength and money of the private army of the Hao family.

Of course, at that time, there were not so many private armies of wealthy families in the world.

It was only later, with the annexation of more and more fertile land by the major wealthy families, more and more money and grain, and the number of private armies also increased greatly.

The reason why they increased their private army was to prevent the Qin royal family from attacking them.

If you have an army, you will have the right to speak, and only then can you truly compete with the imperial court.

It can be said that these wealthy families in Great Qin are equivalent to China.

The foreign attack was resisted by the Great Qin royal family, and they lay down on the body of Great Qin with peace of mind and continued to suck blood.

The kings of Qin in the past dynasties were well aware of the harm of the wealthy clans and wanted to destroy the major wealthy clans.

But no king dared to do so.

Dozens of wealthy clans are united in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together, and it is very terrible to unite together.

If the Qin royal court and the Hao clan start a full-scale war, there will only be one ending - the destruction of the country!

Thinking about this, Yingzheng is murderous!

However, as the king of a country, when considering problems, he must stand at the height of the overall situation, and cannot rely on his own emotions to act impulsively and wantonly.

That's not a wise king, but a foolish man!

If Yingzheng fights against the wealthy families in the country now, even if he has the general Bai Qi, the gods and demons Sima Yi, and the Iron Eagle Ruishi, he will be greatly injured.

First of all, the battlefield is in Daqin, and besides, dozens of wealthy clans are scattered in various counties, and as soon as the war starts, it means that there are battlefields everywhere in Daqin.

The war burned all over Daqin, and at that time, all the agriculture and commerce of the Qin State would be destroyed, and the grain would not be harvested, the merchants would not be able to pass, the goods would not pass, and the people would not have a good livelihood.

At that time, the Shandong countries and the dogs in the west would frantically pounce on them, tear up Daqin, and eat it.

The State of Qin will fall into a land of no return!

In addition, because of the improper handling of Yingzheng, a large number of innocent people have died, the value of the national fortune has been greatly reduced, and even the system will be untied.

Therefore, Yingzheng can only tolerate the existence of these vampires for the time being.

When the time comes, it will be completely destroyed.

When is the time?

The moment when you are waiting for the annexation of the dog Rong and the training of a large number of heavy cavalry legions is the time to destroy the thirty-six wealthy clans.

With a large number of heavy cavalry, Yingzheng can thunder and wipe out the thirty-six wealthy clans who do not obey orders like leaves in the autumn wind, and minimize the impact on the country.

If the external forces of the Qin State intervene, they will definitely let them taste the power of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.

However, Yingzheng can no longer let the major wealthy families continue to grow bigger.

That's why he wanted to beat Ma's.

At the same time, it is also the purpose of leaving Sima Yi and Meng Hu, wanting them to come up with a countermeasure to weaken the major wealthy families.

King Qin explained to the prime minister and the captain what he thought.

Meng Hu's heart was hanging high, and he put it down.

He also has a deep understanding of the harm and danger of the wealthy family.

Meng Yu is worried that His Majesty is young and vigorous, and has recently won several battles, so he will impulsively start a war against the Hao clan.

It seems that he is too careful, as wise as a politician, how could he do that stupid and reckless thing.

His Majesty asked Meng Hu to try to weaken the Hao clan, but he couldn't think of any good countermeasures.

Sima Yi pondered for a while, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said:

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Hao clan is difficult to deal with is because they are in the same breath and advance and retreat together.

So, if you want to do it to the Hao:

The first step is to divide them.

Let the wealthy family have internal strife and consume each other.

Although the thirty-six wealthy families will unite and retreat in the face of the Qin royal family, there is also competition and gap between the major wealthy families, and they are not really monolithic.

The second step is to strengthen the power of the royal family.

The third step is to wait for the right time.

In the long run, one will eliminate the other, and once there is a suitable time to go to war, go to war decisively.

can level the wealthy clan in Qin in one fell swoop, and return the great Qin Langlang.

From then on, Daqin will really soar into the sky, and in time it will be able to sweep the Eight Wildernesses and dominate the eastern corner. ”

When Meng Hu heard this, he was thoughtful.

Ying Zheng looked at Sima Yi: "Prime Minister, how should the widow divide the wealthy family?"

"Your Majesty, you can hit and pull. ”

"What is a fight and a pull?"

"Your Majesty, this time you attack the Longxi Ma clan, it is to fight, and the next thing to do is to pull the ......"

Ying Zheng and Meng Yu listened to the prime minister's words, and suddenly had the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds.

Sima Yi deserves to be Sima Yi, and immediately gave advice from a strategic level.

King Qin's jaw:

"Zhongda, it makes sense. Now, the widow will give a good beating to the Ma family. ”

Ying Zheng is good at making decisions, and he is also decisive, and immediately agreed to the prime minister's strategic deployment.

With a strategy, you can coordinate the overall situation.

In the next time, Ying Zheng, Sima Yi, and Meng Hu will scrutinize the tactical details in detail.

......

Jinyiwei's methods are ruthless.

The prisoner entered the Jinyi Guard, and if he didn't die, he had to peel off the skin.

In just half an hour, Doctor Yu Shi recruited everything he knew.

Yushitai does have a greasy relationship with many wealthy families such as the Ma family, and has done a lot of things for the major wealthy families.

Especially the Ma family, who is crazy about annexing land, has done more.

When Ji Gang got the news, he immediately wrote down the recital and sent it to the imperial study.

After Ying Zheng saw it, his face was gloomy, and he said murderously:

"Ling Jinyiwei and Tingwei's Mansion will thoroughly investigate the Yushitai together.

All the imperial histories involved in this case will be arrested.

Wait for Jinyiwei to find out the case of Longxi County Shou, announce it to the world, and severely punish it according to the law!"

"In addition, General Wang Yi led an army of 10,000 to Longxi County, and obeyed the command of Jinyiwei!"

"No!"

The eunuch respectfully gave the order.

With His Majesty's strict order, Jinyiwei and Tingwei's Mansion were busy.

Ji Gang personally led a large number of Jinyi guards to Longxi County to thoroughly investigate the case of Longxi County's embezzlement of land by the Yima clan.

This is the first major case that Jinyiwei has handled since its establishment.

Ji Gang cannot live up to His Majesty.

This case must be handled beautifully!

It made the ministers tremble!

In this way, Jinyi Wei Fang is His Majesty's qualified eagle dog!

Let the people of the world, hear the name of "Jinyiwei", and be frightened.

Jinyiwei's internal recruitment of personnel and other matters will be handled by the deputy envoy.

......

Longxi County.

The luxurious, palace-like mansion of the Ma family.

"Patriarch, according to the Xianyang secret agent urgent report:

Yingzheng Xiao'er is going to be serious this time, and he has already sent Dr. Yu Shi to prison.

and personally sent his subordinate eagle dog Jinyi Guard to deal with the case of Shouma Zhu in Longxi County.

He's going to do something to my Ma clan, so get an idea. ”

A middle-aged man in rich brocade clothes said anxiously to the old man sitting on the golden silk nanmu soft couch.

"What's the panic?"

The old patriarch scolded: "The Qin monarchs of all dynasties have not dared to touch my Ma clan's wealthy family, does that Yingzheng child really dare to risk the world's disapproval?!"
