Chapter 463: The History of the Northern Family's Ascendancy
Liu Yu's brows furrowed, this question had also flashed in his heart, but there was no answer, when he asked Liu Muzhi, he was also flickering, he didn't expect that today, when he was getting along with Lu Xun, he might get an answer, he nodded, forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and said casually pretending not to care: "Then what do you say it is for?" ”
Lu Xun sneered: "You probably don't know, Wang, Xi, Yu, Xi, Yin, these upper-class families, what a discerning person sees is that they are in power from generation to generation, and the court is an official, but what they are really powerful is the land title deed in this world." ”
Liu Yuqi said: "Land deed? Are you saying that all the fields in the world belong to the Wang family, the Xie family, and these big families? But that's not the case in Jingkou, where we all have land. ”
Lu Xun hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "That is Jingkou, the most special place in the world." Since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the land in the Sanwu region was originally mostly local indigenous surnames, such as Zhu, Zhang, Lu, Wu and Shen, who had occupied the land in the south of the Yangtze River from the Eastern Wu period during the Three Kingdoms and became a local powerhouse. ”
"But the Yongjia Rebellion, Shenzhou Lu Shen, Sima Rui, who was still the king of Langyu at that time, that is, the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with the assistance of the major northern families led by Wang Dao, crossed the river in the south, and arrived at the left of the river, do you know why they didn't go north? Because for them, there is a more important thing, which is to grab land with the natives of Jiangdong! ”
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "No, it is clear that General Zu Li went on a northern expedition when he founded the country, how can he say that he doesn't support it?" ”
Lu Xun sneered: "Do you know who Zu Xiao brought to the Northern Expedition?" It is a group of Jiangyang thieves, and there are killers in the rivers and lakes. These people accepted him as a tribal family in the troubled times, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty court did not produce a single soldier, but only gave Zu Ti the name of a general, and gave him some cloth to make military uniforms, and did not even give weapons and grain and grass, you say this is to support the Northern Expedition? ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed, he had also heard Liu Muzhi sigh about these things, and he couldn't imagine that there was something hidden in Lu Xun's mouth, he said in a deep voice: "Then Zu Li obviously has the possibility of recovering the land of Henan, and the Northern Expedition to the two capitals, how can the imperial court not support it?" ”
Lu Xun shook his head: "The Northern Expedition has to compete head-on with the powerful Hu army, although Zu Ti can take advantage of the fall of the Xiongnu Han and Zhao Empire, the rise of the Zhao Shi clan, the Northern Hu people are fighting, and the Central Plains has no owner's opportunity to occupy the Central Plains for a while, but no one can guarantee that he can defeat Hu Qi in a frontal field battle, especially after crossing the Yellow River and reaching the Hebei Plain, the odds of victory are not great. ”
"So Zu Ti couldn't get the support of the imperial court, and finally died depressed, the imperial court's army was all used to suppress the rebellion in Jiangdong, send slaves, you must know that in the troubled times, there is no owner in the world, and many of these Jiangdong natives will have the idea of taking advantage of the chaos, and then the Eastern Jin Dynasty will eliminate one by one, and you can justifiably seize the fields of these families, and then divide them to meritorious ministers. And these meritorious ministers are the first batch of northern families who crossed south with the Sima royal family. ”
Liu Yu shook his head suddenly: "No, why are these Wu natives asking for trouble?" They already possess the land, so why should they let their sons and nephews stand on their own? ”
Lu Xun laughed: "So the natives of Wu are short-sighted, who are the opponents of these northern families who have been fighting for thousands of years!" The record you see now is that these people gathered to make trouble, and the truth of history is that these people are just like the lord of the Northern Dock Fort, protecting the territory and the people, and guarding the homeland! ”
"In the troubled times, there are always rebellious soldiers and thieves, these people are wandering around, and the Western Jin Dynasty court is dead, the magistrates have fled, there is no army to suppress these thieves, so these Wu natives recruited their own homeless people to defend their homeland, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty emperor and important ministers, on the pretext that these people are supporting the army to rebel, sent the imperial army to eliminate them one by one, the people of Wu are not good at military affairs, plus a plate of scattered sand, they will be eliminated one by one to the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the army that should be used for the Northern Expedition has become a tool for the Eastern Jin Dynasty emperor and the family to seize territory, Liu Yu, do you say that such an emperor is worthy of allegiance? ”
Liu Yu sighed: "If this is really the case, it is too chilling." But I still don't believe you, if it's what you say, why do these indigenous surnames still exist? I have also seen a lot of people from the Zhu Wu, Zhang, Shen and Wu families. ”
Lu Xun sneered: "Back then, in Jiangnan, the first surname was the Zhou family, and it was to frame the son and nephew like this and plot rebellion and exterminate it, but Director Wang was very smart back then, and he didn't attack all the indigenous surnames at the same time, and even sometimes gave them a little benefit." Destroy and weaken only the strongest. ”
So after more than ten years, the local heroes have been weakened by half, and there is no power in the court, and they cannot attack the lord as an official, and the territory will become smaller and smaller, and the northern families will get more and more land in the south of the Yangtze River, and they will use their power to accelerate the occupation of these places in the south of the Yangtze River, and even more, they can absorb a large number of southbound refugees from the north, and make them their own tenants Zhuang Ding, so that these people can open up the land and expand the land, add new acres, and in a few decades, almost the entire land of Sanwu is the world of these northern families. When the land deed of Wu Land is in the hands of these families, do ordinary people still have a place to stand? Only generations have become their domestic servants! ”
Liu Yu had nothing to say, and after a long time, he sighed: "It turns out that this world came from like this." However, there is still the Xie family, and the tenants of the Wang family may turn over, such as being rewarded for their meritorious service in the army, and after returning home, they can buy dozens or hundreds of acres of land and beg for a daughter-in-law, not that there is no way out. ”
Lu Xun shook his head disdainfully: "That is, the formation of the Beifu Army this time is like this, how could the servants of various families be allowed to join the army in the past few decades?" It's like the Diao family you've seen, they will be so kind? Besides, even if you go to the shit luck, you can really have a free body and buy a field, but how can ordinary people maintain it like a big family? In the event of a natural disaster, you have to pay taxes, you will soon go bankrupt, and you will eventually become a tenant servant, which is not uncommon even in Kyokou. ”
Liu Yu thought of his experience of setting up a situation for the Diao family before joining the army, almost ruining the family, and becoming a slave to the Diao family, this is still in Jingkou, or it happened to him, if he changed somewhere else, he really couldn't imagine it, thinking of this, he clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and said hatefully: "Damn!" ”
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "A world like this is really damned, all the people in the world who are suffering and suffering, only our Divine Sect can truly give them hope, and this is the reason why I joined the Divine Cult!" ”
