Chapter 0302: The Tiger of the Meng Family
Li Hui is the governor of Nanzhong, and there are still necessary guards.
In addition, the identity of the other party has not yet been determined, so the people around Li Hui have been careful, as soon as they heard Li Hui shouting like this, the surrounding subordinate officials and the guards outside the door all rushed up, and pressed the five people on the spot.
Compared with their nervousness, the five people seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and did not resist at all, but were very cooperative to be captured by the guards.
"Is this how Governor Li treats guests?"
Although the leader couldn't move, his face was indifferent, and he tried to raise his head and asked.
Li Hui was a little surprised by the cooperation of the comers, and then smiled again, and said, "When did the rebellious person become a guest of my Governor's Mansion?" ”
The person who came smiled wryly, "If you don't come in like this, I'm afraid that before I see Li Dudu, I will be chopped into meat sauce, so I have to make this decision." The villain came here, not malicious, and asked Li Dudu to investigate. ”
As he spoke, he found that he was crushed to death, and he couldn't move at all, "Li Dudu, can you let Meng take a breath?" ”
"To capture the tiger of the Meng family, you have to be careful."
Li Hui said with a smile.
"The Tiger of the Meng Family?"
Wang Ping was stunned and lost his voice, "It's the Meng family?" ”
The Meng family, a wealthy family in Nanzhong, was one of the leading families in this rebellion.
And Meng Huo, the head of the Meng family, is one of the leaders of the rebels.
"That's right, this person is a member of the Meng tribe, known as Meng Yan, the tiger of the Meng family in Nanzhong."
Li Hui nodded, and then said to Meng Yan with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, how did Brother Angxiong come here?" ”
Meng Yan looked at Li Hui's playful smile and sighed, "Just so that my people can have a way to survive in the future." ”
Li Hui sat down again, pointed at Meng Yan, and said, "Leave this person behind, and all the rest of the people will be taken out and tied up." ”
"Thank you Li Dudu for not killing."
When Meng Yan heard this, he hurriedly said.
"Don't be busy thanking you first, if you don't say a reason why I won't kill you, if you don't kill you now, you will still kill you later."
Li Hui said indifferently.
Seeing that the guards were still pressing Meng Yan to death, with a sense of worry in his eyes, Li Hui waved his hand and said, "General Wang stays, and the rest of the people go down." ”
"But the Governor, if this person has a bad heart, isn't the Governor in danger?"
The leader of the guards said with some hesitation.
"Don't worry. No matter what the old man said, he is also the one who leads the troops, and General Wang, his martial arts are extraordinary, plus you are guarding the door, this person is unarmed, and it is impossible to hurt me. ”
When the guards heard Li Hui say this, they let go of Meng Yan and retreated.
"Li Dudu is atmospheric!"
After Meng Yan got up, he stood far away and did not approach, to show that he had no malicious intent.
"Say, you, Meng Angxiong, are the person Meng Angxiong values most to Meng Rei, why don't you follow Meng Rei to rebel, what are you doing here? Do you really think I don't dare to kill you? ”
Li Hui's face was murderous.
"Yan came this time, he already had the heart of death, Li Dudu killed Yan or not, and he didn't let go of Yan's heart. It's just that before he died, Yan wanted to say a word, if he could make Li Dudu hear it, it would be death, and there would be no regrets! ”
Meng Yan had no fear on his face.
"Joke! I am the governor of Nanzhong, and you are a traitor in Nanzhong, and you are already incompatible, so why do you want to listen to what you say? ”
Li Hui shouted, "Tell me your intentions quickly, the governor of Pontus has always had little patience with you. ”
Meng Yan sighed and said, "Don't say that you are the governor, that is, the Han officials, how can you have patience with the people of Nanzhongyi?" The reason why there is today's situation in Nanzhong, has the governor ever thought about why? ”
"Because there are people who harbor evil intentions and intend to be self-reliant."
"Why does the governor only say one and not the other?"
Meng Yan stood with his head held high and talked eloquently, "Nanzhong is originally a land of people, and my people have grown up in Si for generations. When the Han people arrived, they occupied the plain land, opened forests and burned wasteland for farming, and that's it. ”
"But why do you look down on our people on weekdays, deceive our people into ignorance, use treacherous schemes, and take advantage of them? After being oppressed by the Han people, is it possible that I will not be allowed to resist? ”
Li Hui sneered, "Are you afraid that you are the one who is talking about treacherous words?" ”
Li Hui pointed at Meng Yan and continued, "At the beginning of the rebellion, the Yi people did not accept the traitor Yonghong, if it weren't for your Meng family spreading rumors that the Han would forcibly levy heavy taxes on the Yi people, how could the Nanzhong Yi people be so resentful of the Han and everyone was against it?" ”
When Meng Yan heard this, his face was ashamed, "This matter is because my clan brother was confused for a while. But Li Dudu, if there was no Han people who used to rob our Yi people in the past, how could the Yi people easily believe this? ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."
Li Hui snorted, "This world is the world of the Son of Heaven." Can you stay out of the way? The Han Emperor is benevolent, the Han Prime Minister is strict, as long as you can obey the discipline, you will not be wronged. ”
"But if you don't obey discipline, how can the great man shelter you? was oppressed, it was done by a wealthy family, but it turned against the Han, what is the reason? ”
"But Li Dudu, we Yi people, we have lived in Nanzhong for generations, you Han people, wealthy families, ordinary Han people, if it weren't for the Han emperor to let people bring the army in, how dare they easily enter Nanzhong?"
Meng Yan said unconvinced.
"Han Bing's prestige, the general rate of all countries, the sun and the moon shine, are all concubines. Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all Han land. Why are you not convinced? ”
Li Hui said lightly.
Meng Yandeng's face stiffened.
Have you ever seen a punching bag?
After a long time, Meng Yan sighed again, "The world respects the Han, how dare the villain disagree?" ”
"It's just Li Dudu, the Han people are all born to their parents, each has children, and we are Yiren, and there is no difference. Everyone has compassion, can't the Han let us live a good life? ”
Meng Yan knew that his fist was not as big as his family, so he had to be reasonable.
"If you want to be reasonable, I'll reason with you."
Li Hui said slowly, "The Yi people want to live a good life, and the Han people also want to live a good life, but the rebellion makes it impossible for anyone to live a good life." ”
"You go back and tell Meng Shu that Yonghong and the others rebelled for their own wealth and power, not for you to destroy people. If you want to live a good life, only the big man can give it to you. ”
Li Hui knocked on the case and accentuated his tone, "In the past, the Han people bullied and oppressed the Yi people, didn't the Yi people themselves bully the Yi people?" Speaking of which, isn't it all done by the wealthy families in Nanzhong? It's just that most of the Hao people are Han Chinese, so it will be said that the Han people bully the Yi people. ”
"Although you Meng Yan are not Han, you are also a member of the wealthy clan in Nanzhong, so I don't need to say more about the reason. If you really want to let the Yiren live a good life, you can take Shuzhong as an example. ”
"In the past, when the first emperor did not enter Shu, it was also the wanton behavior of the wealthy family, occupying the mountains and invading Ze, and the people in Shu were also oppressed by it."
"But now you look at Shuzhong, which other wealthy family dares to do this? The prime minister strictly enforces the law, if you Yiren are willing to return to the Han Dynasty, presumably the prime minister will not let you be wronged again. ”
As a political figure, Li Hui naturally understands what kind of person Meng Yan is talking about.
To put it bluntly, they are all local leaders and the like.
At this time, in Nanzhong, in addition to the places close to the Han county seats, there were many local tribal villages, which were still in a primitive society.
The headman has all the rights, and many of the population is even considered property that is divided into the headman's name.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that Nanzhong is called the land of barbarians.
It's a pity that the head man is the king and hegemon in his own tribe's village, and when he encounters a more advanced form of the Han wealthy family, he can only shrink his head and become a king.
Or that sentence, a punching bag big fist, just ask if you are afraid?
If you can't get people, if you don't shrink your head and turtle, you can only be a dead person.
"Brother ...... villain," Meng Yan was puzzled, "The villain is really not sure that he can be convinced." But the villain also has some prestige among the clansmen, and there are still many people who are willing to listen to the villain's moderation. ”
"So the villain came this time because he wanted Li Dudu to say a word, as long as I can stop being oppressed by the Han people, the villain is willing to take the clan to join the Han people."
"Hehe," Li Huiqiang suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm, "The rule of the Han Yi in Nanzhong is a national policy set by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I promise you this? ”
"Li Dudu controls Nanzhong, and the villain doesn't dare to intercede for all the Yi people in Nanzhong, I only hope that the governor can see that the villain can lead the people to naturalize the Han and protect the villain's tribe."
The tribes of the Southern Zhongyi people have thousands of villages, and Meng Yan's own tribe is one of the larger ones.
He had said so much earlier, and in the end, he just wanted to find a way out for his clan.
As for the others, how could he manage so much?
"Meng Angxiong, since you've said it all here, then I also want to ask. Those rebels in the south are now in the time of great trouble, and you are the person who is the most important thief, why did you suddenly wake up? ”
Li Hui asked slowly.
The stakes are so high that Li Hui had to ask clearly.
Meng Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The opposite of Nanzhong, first taking advantage of the danger of the Han Dynasty, and then deceiving people to make trouble, is it not the right way to do it, and it will last a long time?" Besides, Yonghong and others pinned their hopes on the Eastern Wu Army, and those who succeeded in the event could not hope for others? ”
"Now that Dongwu is on good terms with the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, Na Yonghong can't even fight the land of Yongchang outside the Han Dynasty, and the armies in Nanzhong are ......."
"Well, it's all kinds of rebels, and they are fighting their own battles, each is not convinced, and each has its own selfish intentions, from this point of view, it will not work."
"The villain followed them, thinking that they were really thinking about the people, but now it seems that as the governor said, everyone is for their own power and wealth, and the villain is ashamed, so he does not want to be with them."
Speaking of this, Meng Yan showed a somewhat shocked look on his face, as if he remembered something.
"These days, although it is said that the king of the Han Dynasty has not arrived, but the countless militia groups alone have already made the Yi people panic. I thought that the Yiren were already fearless of death, but I didn't expect those people in the militia group to win more than that. ”
"They are so unguardable that they attack villages and villages day and night, and now the rebels do not dare to walk alone without hundreds of soldiers, and their rumors in Nanzhong have reached the point where they can stop children from crying."
"The power of the Han Dynasty has come to this! If one day the Han Dynasty finishes reorganizing the army, I am afraid that the rebels in the south and central parts of the country who are now in chaos will be broken like powder. How can the villain let his people waste their lives in vain? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Hui, but even the silent Wang Ping looked a little strange.
When did such a strange thing as the militia become the prestige of the Han Dynasty?
Li Hui, in particular, was even more convulsive.
Who is the first militia group in Nanzhong?
Looks like it's your own home, right?
There's no way, the Li family has to reclaim the famine in Hanzhong!
A son and a nephew of his own family, who have been in Hanzhong for so long, know that he is messing around with a certain turtle all day long, and his own fields in Hanzhong have to worry about him so far away.
Unfilial, big unfilial!
To tell the truth, although it is said that the militia is formed by private individuals, in fact, each or several militia groups formed together must be filed with the imperial court.
As many people as there are in the militia group, they will sell you as much military dry food as they have, and they won't sell more than half a piece, so if you want to hide the number of people, unless you can really send troops like the imperial court, someone specially escorts the grain and grass to follow you south.
If you really want to do this, then what is the point of you hiding the number of people?
Besides, even if someone wanted to do it, would he dare? Do you really think you are a regular army of the imperial court? If someone was killed on the way, it's okay to say, if a rebellious crime comes down, it will be fun for the whole family to die.
So this leads to a problem, that is, the number of people in each family will be recorded in a small book by the imperial court.
If you are open-minded, you are naturally not afraid, and immediately after reporting it, you will buy dry food according to the number of heads, and then go south to find labor, well, find labor.
But those who have ghosts in their hearts, or who have more than the number of people, have to think carefully about how many people they want to report.
It's definitely not okay to report too much, that's to be counted by the prime minister, if the report is less, if there are not enough people, you let the tribe go south to send people to Yiren?
It's okay to report only a part, but if you suddenly have more parts that have not been filed in the imperial court in the future, how can you explain it?
Therefore, this move of the militia seems to be for the good of the powerful families, so that they can find labor, well, labor.
But as one of the three major governors of the Han Dynasty, how could Li Hui not see what was hidden in this?
Prime Minister's move, high!
However, Li Hui also sighed occasionally, anyway, as a die-hard man who was desperate to join the prime minister, his own self-raised troops were all within the scope of the imperial court.
As for whether the others are unruly, it is not their turn to worry about it.
Li Hui also understands what the militia is doing in South China.
There is a shortage of manpower in Hanzhong, and all the families in Hanzhong are about to go crazy.
What crazy people do, naturally can't be figured out with the psychology of ordinary people.
A laborer is a hundred!
Therefore, he is not afraid of death and attacks day and night, and it is all the enthusiasm in the hearts of the people of the militia group!
In these years, death is the most normal thing, either to die in battle or to starve to death, after eating the meal of carrying a knife, who can lie in bed and die of old age?
A few trips to the south, not to mention the rewards received, even if it is to find enough labor for the main family, as soon as the land in Hanzhong is reclaimed, and the main family rises, do you still need to worry about the rest of your life for the rest of your life?
So most of the militia groups that went south were crazy.
And this crazy situation, in the final analysis, still has to be counted on the turtle who offered advice to "move the people of Nanzhong to the real Hanzhong".
