Chapter 301: Inferior Roots
The Battle of Guanzhong gradually subsided with Li Yuan's gloomy departure from Guanzhong, and Yang Tong stopped the pace of conquest after taking over Chang'an. On the one hand, officials were arranged to appease the people and rectify the people's livelihood, and on the other hand, the officials left behind by Li Tang were 'settled after the autumn'.
The rest of Hanzhong was attacked by Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun.
In Hanzhong, the strategic position is too heavy, and Yang Tong must take it.
But what was unexpected was that in the case that Li Tang's general trend had gone, even without Li Yuan's unified command, Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun still encountered great obstacles, and almost every city and county had to be occupied by means of strong attacks and defeating the private army composed of local families.
At the beginning, the methods of the two generals were relatively gentle, and after occupying the city, as long as the family no longer resisted, they did not embarrass them. After all, they are generals, not officials, and they don't need to intervene in the affairs of the family. It's a pity that the soft means of the two of them were exchanged for the joint confrontation of the clans, not only organizing the people to resist Yang Dong's rule, but also secretly contacting the clans in Guanzhong and actively establishing private armies, which also made many cities just fall today, and the Sui army will rebel as soon as it leaves tomorrow, which once put the Sui army in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy and cutting off the grain route.
"These big families are really tired of living......
Du Ruhui looked at the urgent documents sent by Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun, and shook his head helplessly, still resisting under the general trend? What kind of rebellion is this? In Yang Dong's words, this is not death, and it will not die.
Du Ruhui knew that Yang Tong had no plans to deal with these big families for the time being, after all, he had just started seventeen counties, and there were many things about people's livelihood. Moreover, it also takes evidence to deal with the big families, right?
But who would have thought that these people couldn't even see the situation clearly, and they created incriminating evidence, and they deserved to be unlucky. Even if they are not destroyed, these families who stay and do not leave will probably break their muscles and bones, and if they collapse, they will be light. Now that Yang Tong is on fire, he will have to bear the consequences of the king's fire.
Alas, let them go in peace.
Du Ruhui shook his head, Yang Tong's policy in Guanzhong was not very smooth, which caused Yang Tong's temper to be not very good recently, and his subordinates were still as usual, but these big families may become the target of anger.
You can't live if you do your own evil.
"Du joins the army, His Royal Highness asked you to copy this document and distribute it to all counties." A guard hurriedly walked in and handed a document to Du Ruhui.
"Good!" Du Ruhui took a look, but it was a 'Juntian Order'.
This is another big move after moving the slaves of the big family out of Guanzhong, and it is also the deadliest outbreak point. As long as this order that touches the fundamental interests of the Guanlong family is issued, the family will probably rise up against Sui, and this is what Yang Dong loves!
……
The Juntian system was soon implemented, and it was launched before Jingzhao County, where Chang'an was located, and the method used was nothing more than to provoke contradictions between the common people and the clans.
It's simple and old, but it works.
This method has been played in Bingzhou and Yongbei, and the effect is so good.
The newly appointed officials of the Great Sui have either experienced it personally or have undergone professional training, and before coming to Chang'an, they have been intensively practicing in Yecheng for a month. It's easy to act now.
And hatred of the rich exists at any time, especially in troubled times, and the common people who have no meal are more hostile to the rich! Now, as soon as the officials sow discord, it immediately broke out.
Duling!
"What are you trying to do? Yang Tong dared to offend my Guan Sergeant clan because of a group of untouchables? Wait, I'm Webster Weiyang. ”
A young man struggled angrily, but how powerful were the two wolf-like soldiers behind him? No matter how much he struggled, he was still escorted into the prison car.
"Let me out, your Empress Dowager Wei of the Sui Dynasty is my cousin...... Haha, I'm scared."
However, in response to him was the cold eyes of the soldiers! One and two seemed to be dumb, and neither of them spoke! Before carrying out the task, Shangguan had solemnly confessed: people from the big family can speak well, they like to talk nonsense the most, and they like to have a relationship with high-ranking officials the most, and if you answer him, you will be fooled. Whoever answers, who will be deducted for half a year. With such serious consequences, who would dare to speak up to the soldiers of the Sui army?
Everyone now admires their school captains, these family members are really able to pull it, and the surname Wei says that he is the cousin of the Queen Mother; Lao Tzu's surname is Yang, should he say that he is a prince?
"Hey, are you all dumb? I tell you, you King Qin have to call me Uncle Sheng......"
The soldiers of the Sui army thought to themselves: 'His Royal Highness's biological mother is obviously surnamed Liu, this guy is really a liar!' Damn it. ’
The soldiers dragged a group of Wei family members who claimed to be the imperial prince to parade through the streets in disgust, and then pushed out the city gate to behead them, and the angry scolding and wailing of a group of 'fakes' soon disappeared into a cheer.
Dou family!
"My grandfather is Dou Rongding, the Duke of Chen Guogong of the Sui Dynasty, and my grandmother is Princess Wan'an, the sister of Emperor Wen, and I am half of the Yang family."
"Fake! Cut the hearts of the soldiers of the Sui army.
“……”
Dugu Family Manor
"Bold, this is the manor of the Dugu family! ......"
"Fake!"
Yuwen family!
"Therefore, Gongyu Wen Jingli of Ande County is my uncle, the sister of Princess Wu of Guangping, and I am ......"
"Fake!"
……
XX home
"I am a loyal ......"
"Fake!"
……
"Fake"
"Fake"
"Fake"
“……”
Jingzhao!
The promulgation of the Juntian Decree was strongly resisted by the Guan Long family, which caused a bloody storm.
On this day, outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an, in the cheers of tens of thousands of onlookers, more than 1,000 Guanlong nobles fell to the ground.
When they started to kill people, the people were still panicking and afraid, worried that the butcher's knife of the Sui Dynasty would kill them.
But after three days of killing, not only were the people not afraid, but their support for the Sui Dynasty was extremely high.
Because the Sui Dynasty not only divided the land equally among the people, but also killed all the damned people, and killed all the great evildoers who exploited the people!
Such a scourge, kill one, one less.
Yi?
The people don't understand.
But they knew that the family had controlled the land before, and in order to survive, they had to be slaves of the family for generations, ancestors, and were exploited by the family for generations, not to mention that the master family still treated them like animals, and killed them if they wanted, and the people naturally hated in their hearts.
It's a pity that they are too weak and too humble, so no matter how much hatred there is from generation to generation, they are unable to express it and dare not pronounce it
They had been waiting for generations, and finally someone had the decision for them.
Yang Tong cleaned up these families, recovered all the land of all the families, and then distributed it to the people, so that the people no longer had to rely on the family to survive, and after having their own land, they could hold their heads high and be people. But at the same time they were afraid, afraid that those who had been in their hands would come back.
Now it is well, all those who have been powerful and blessed are dead, and there is no fear.
……
In the crowd, more than a dozen old men on crutches were nervously guarding a group of family members, looking at the blood-red Yong'an canal, their faces were extremely white and ugly.
"Dugu Xian's nephew, how dare Yang Tong...... How dare that? Isn't he afraid that the Guan Long family and the world family will join forces? An old man looked at the thousands of heads that had been cut off, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Three days, just three days!
Chang'an alone killed at least 10,000 people, and more than 40 Guanlong families were collectively pulled out of the city gate and beheaded for various reasons.
Argument and reason!
The officials of the Sui Dynasty told you! I'll argue with you! There is not only incriminating evidence in their hands, but also the bitter lord who has come forward to testify.
Threat? Ha, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Sui are sitting in Guanzhong, although each family and all ethnic groups have generals and soldiers, but how can they fight with these tiger and wolf divisions on the battlefield?
"He has already been an enemy for a long time, even if Yang Tong doesn't do this, will the Yuan family master accept his rule?"
Dugu Cheng said slowly.
"Don't think!" The head of the Yuan family snorted coldly and said angrily.
Dugu Cheng said: "Our Guan Long family is Li Yuan's followers and supporters, and they are anti-thieves and traitors in Yang Tong's eyes. He also knows that we will not be loyal to Him. So, why should he care about the Guan Long family? Rebellion has been a major crime of the Nine Clans since ancient times, and it is normal for Yang Tong to kill thieves. ”
Dugu Cheng said it very thoroughly, because no matter what Yang Tong did, he would not be recognized by the Guan Long family, so why did he bother with the Guan Long family? Official affairs are reasonable and legal, and they still win the hearts of the people, so why wouldn't he do it?
"This ......" the head of the Yuan family glared, "How is it now?" Can't he be bullied? ”
"The arms can't twist the thighs, and resisting is only a dead end. Let's go, leave Guanzhong and Yang Dong's territory. The other old man sighed.
Beat?
How to fight?
Li Yuan's hundreds of thousands of troops were gone, Li Yuan himself was also defeated, and the Guan Long family lost the princes as foreign aid, and it was not a fart.
And Yang Tong is very vicious, every time he kills a family, he will publicize the crimes of this family to the public, thus creating the illusion that the people are all villains.
Because of this, all the hatred accumulated by the people was transferred to the Guan Long family, so that the Guan Long family was slaughtered by the Sui Dynasty and excluded by the people in this land. They have lost their invincible reputation, and naturally they cannot respond to the same call as they did in the past. Even if they wanted to fight, the people, tenants, and domestic slaves who had benefited from Yang Tong would not support it, and would even tell the informants.
Bow your head to Yang Tong? They are unwilling, and even if you lower your noble head, Yang Tong will not accept you. Therefore, you can only be like Li Yuan and get out of Guanzhong.
"What are you doing?"
Several people entered the city with a heavy heart, but saw a long convoy stopped by the defenders of the city.
"Isn't that the head of the Wei family? It's ......," exclaimed an old man.
The head of the Yuan family made a silent gesture and looked at the scene in front of him with a solemn expression.
At this time, a lieutenant came over, and he said lightly: "You people can leave, but the property is the illegal gain of your exploitation of the people!" You can't take away a penny. ”
"This is the wealth that my Wei family has accumulated for generations. Why do you say that my Wei family's property is illegally gained? Wei Kuangbo, the head of the Wei family, was furious.
"Forty-seven of your Wei family have become Li Yuan's officials, and some people have been canonized as the Duke of the Kingdom by Li Yuan!" The captain said lightly: "The crime of rebellion should be punished by the Nine Clans." His Royal Highness the King of Qin has the virtue of a good life, and he didn't pursue it too much, this is already an extrajudicial grace, and you still want to take away these people's fat and people's ointment? It's a pipe dream. This is the property of the people, and it should be used to build the place and build Guanzhong, not to let you thieves continue to enjoy it! This is called taking from the people and using it for the people. ”
"While it's still early, take your people out of Chang'an and out of Guanzhong. Don't defile the land. Of course, you can also wait for the officials of the Criminal Department to come to trial, and I myself don't want you to go! For according to your sins, the Ministry of Punishment can kill you a hundred times. ”
The lieutenant said indifferently.
"Don't defile the land! Get out of Chang'an, get out of Guanzhong! When the onlookers heard this, they clapped their hands.
Wei Kuangbo's face suddenly turned like earth, he was the one who accepted the title of Li Tang Guogong!
In the end, he had no choice but to give up more than 1,000 cars of wealth, took his family, and left Chang'an in a gloomy manner and headed for Lantian.
"This ......"
Looking at the Wei family who were driven out of the city, Dugu Cheng and the Yuan family head and others fell into silence and anxiety.
Yang Tong didn't even bother to collect the charges now, and planned to unify the Guan Long family as a crime of treason, which made them unable to speak.
Legally speaking, Yang Tong really did not wronged them. Because there are people in the Guanlong family who are Li Yuan's officials, and being Li Yuan's officials is actually against the Great Sui.
As the heir of the Great Sui, it was reasonable and legal for Yang Tong to kill them.
It can be seen that Yang Dong's butcher's knife is already hungry and thirsty.
"Go now, all you lose is wealth! If you stay, you won't be able to leave! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a step forward. ”
The head of the Yuan family has a serious face! Xingse hurriedly entered Chang'an City, ready to roll up the cover of the flash.
"Chang'an and Guanzhong have changed! Let's go...... It's important to be alive. ”
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
"Damn Li Yuan, he is extremely incompetent!"
"It's all caused by Li Yuan's incompetence."
Everyone scolded, they didn't dare to scold Yang Tong, and they knew that they couldn't fight Yang Dong, so they could only transfer this hatred of losing everything to the 'incompetent' Li Yuan.
This is the root of human inferiority.
