Go back a month ago.

Outside Thang Long City.

In the wasteland, which is only ten miles away from the capital of the Li Dynasty, the flags are waving, and the boundless people and horses under it seem to be very magnificent. It's just that the chaotic procession, the noisy voices, the complicated uniforms and ordnance, make it clear at a glance, these people are simply ordinary people gathered together, not even soldiers.

"Beikou destroyed my homeland, killed my people, yin my wife and daughter, his crimes are too numerous to mention, and this hatred is not shared......"

"Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? Da Yue has now fallen into a place of no return, and we can only fight to the death! ”

"How many of us can trample all the Beikou to death with our feet!"

"Only death, only death, why fear?"

One by one, the nobles, officials, and scholars of the Li Dynasty were screaming frantically.

They shouted hysterically, as if that would motivate themselves to forget their terrible fears.

No way!

Although the Song army in Lingnan was essentially a garrison army, they were well fed, well-dressed, well-treated, and equipped with cattle, and their spirit was raised.

Don't look at it, it's a garrison army, but it's invincible with the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty. On the frontal battlefield, the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty were unable to parry the soldiers and horses of the Song army that came in from the mouth of the Red River.

Of course, there is also the negative effect of Li Chao's strategic layout mistakes on his generals.

After all, Chen Yu also gathered a group of soldiers and horses and stopped in Yongzhou.

How dare Li Chao slack off? Even though they knew that the sailors of the Lingnan Song Army were powerful, they didn't dare not invest their energy on land. A lot of soldiers and horses were arranged, especially those on the border.

As a result, when the sailors of the Song army defeated Li Chao's counterparts with an absolute advantage, the door of Li Chao's waist and belly was instantly opened.

The land and water armies of the Song Dynasty traced the line of the Red River up and smashed the Shenglong.

This is the same as Liu Ziyu led the army along the Mingtong River to smash the Jinren's lair before, if the latter is given enough time, the strength of the gathered enemy army may not be worse than the Song army that came from the sea, but this war is a time difference.

Yang Yinger, who stayed in the Red River Delta area, was caught off guard, obviously having several times the strength of the Song army's land division, but was broken by the Song army.

Li Yanghuan fled in a hurry and hid in the mountains to the west. This is not unusual, these small countries on the peninsula, in the long history, in the face of an irresistible offensive, the king is not a small number of deserted deserts.

Lee Yang-hwan is just one of them.

But his escape hurt the Li Dynasty's army, which had returned rapidly from Beiqi.

Taiwei Li Pingping led the main force of the Li army on the northern front, which had quickly turned back, and under the pursuit of the Song army behind him, he crossed mountains and rivers and rushed to the Red River Delta, the core area of Li Dynasty's rule. The number of troops has also changed from more than 30,000 to only 20,000. Seeing the opportunity, Xu Huiyan led 5,000 troops to cross the Red River, and with a single blow from Hengye, which had fewer enemies and more enemies, he called Li Pingping to give the head, making the last standing army of the Li Dynasty a thing of the past.

At this point, the hometown of Jiaozhi, which has been temporarily named Jiaozhou Metropolitan Protectorate, can be said to have decided the overall situation. Even if Li Yanghuan's group has not been caught, but the regular army of Li Chaocheng's formation has been completely defeated, Li Chao must become a thing of the past.

Those officials, nobles, and local tyrants (big slave owners), as well as barbarian chieftains, some local powerful factions simply chose to tame.

In the face of irresistible forces, they obviously did not have much loyalty to sacrifice life and death for Li Chao.

Defend the country or protect the family? The answer to this question is obvious.

Even if they were included in the Central Plains Dynasty here, the changes in the laws and regulations would greatly damage the strength of those local families. But these local factions still did not dare to resist.

How sharp the soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty were, that was what they all witnessed. The army of the Li Dynasty has been wiped out, how is their strength compared to the previous Li Dynasty? The result of this rebellion is destruction. And they definitely don't want to die and be wiped out, so they can only cut the flesh obediently, even if it will hurt their muscles and bones.

From land to slaves, as well as official positions, the result of the change of dynasty is an all-round weakening of the local local power.

Who called the system so rough when Li Chao first founded the country?

Li Gongyun (Li Taizu) changed the ten roads of the Ding Dynasty and the former Li Dynasty to twenty-four roads. Because of the ten-way system, local generals not only have heavy troops, but also take charge of regional political affairs, and have too much power. However, after the 'whole country' was split into 24 routes, the military power was still in the hands of the state pastors, and the local authority was still very strong.

Li Dezheng (李太宗, 公云子) made a rule that an oath should be held once a year with officials at all levels to swear allegiance to the Li family.

If this kind of thing is to be put in the Central Plains, it is simply laughing off people's big teeth.

The relationship between the central and local governments of the Li Dynasty directly reminds people of Zhou Tianzi and the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, but not like kings and courtiers at all.

The successive monarchs of the Li Dynasty also loved to divide their sons as kings and go to important places in the country to guard. In remote areas and areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, prefectures and villages were set up, and special villages were set up in Suizhou and Aizhou, and military rule was exercised to deal with the southern neighbors of Cham. The Shaomin area is the hereditary land of the local chieftain, the big one is named the state pastor, and the small one is the chief, and later due to the gradual division of the region, the chieftain's power is gradually weakened, and the Li Dynasty sent a person to the state, and the chief is directly subordinate, and this kind of state has been called "town" at the present time.

Now, with the end of the Li Dynasty, some of the clan nobles, local officials, and barbarian chieftains of the Li Dynasty are left in its local powerful factions. And these people who belonged to the ruling class in the Li Dynasty, and their scholars and doctors, and the powerful class, can all be described by the word 'slave owners'.

It is obviously the thousand-year-old homeland of China and has been edified, but once it stands on its own, it directly plays slavery.

Whether it was the Ding Dynasty and the former Li Dynasty in front of it, or the Li Dynasty before it, slavery was just now. Even Li Renzong, who was in front of Li Yanghuan, who had dominated the country for fifty or sixty years, had such a high prestige and such a strong majesty, and could only move the 'ban on private slaves piercing ink (黥字)', and slightly improved the personality of slaves, stipulating: All slaves inside and outside the capital are not allowed to pierce their chests and feet, like forbidden soldiers, and tattoo dragons on their bodies. In fact, there was no touch on slavery at all.

Therefore, when Chen Yu received Zhao Gou's order and began to wield a knife to 'cut the grass and eradicate the roots' of the local wealthy clans, officials, chiefs and other powerful factions, the latter decisively couldn't bear it anymore.

They are willing to cut themselves in exchange for their own survival. But Zhao Gou's intention was to move them to Lingnan, just like in the early Western Han Dynasty, when the world's nobles lived in Wuling.

This is going to break their foundation.
