Chapter 749: Zhou Shi Case
This level is not good, it is not officially promised, who knows when and for what reason the empire will kill the whole family?
So, Tokugawa Ieyasu thought of a compromise again: he did not ask for attachment, but took the initiative to ask for a demotion and relocation.
He felt that as long as he moved to a more remote area, more farther away from the core of the empire's rule, and made an inconspicuous living, at least the empire should not be able to take care of himself recently.
This request was eventually granted, and the four remaining Fuso provinces, including Tokugawa, were relocated to the freezing Hokkai-Peninsula (Kamchatka), and their territory was expanded, but the climate and agriculture were far from their hometowns in Fuso, and it is not known whether these Fuso people would be able to adapt.
The empire's series of expulsion and relocation actions to foreign Tibet were not limited to Fuso.
In Liaodong, 660 of the original 990 Sauron households were eliminated from the title of 100 Waibo households, and half of them scattered and migrated to other regions (such as Qin, Chu, Yunnan, and Annan) to garrison the border.
The other half was positioned as commoners, and the whole was incorporated into the direct jurisdiction of the empire.
In the end, the 330 Solon Hundred Households from Waibo were all relocated to the area north of the Outer Khing'an Mountains.
The same is true of the Outer Tibetan and Mongolian Vuls, the essence of the grassland (Inner Mongolia) Horqin, Chahar, Tumut and other places were divided and merged into the Liao, Hebei, Jin, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces, and at least half of the Outer Tibetan and Mongol were forcibly relocated or directly annexed as commoners.
The remainder, about 300 Waibo Mongol families, had to go to the relatively bitter cold northern Khalkha (confined to the north of Lake Baikal).
The relatively more fragmented and complex southern Waibo has also been sorted out.
The dense Dongman tribes in Jinghu, Gui Province, Guangdong Province, and Qiongdao were attacked separately by the emperor's ** team, and the empire only left 300 places for the southern Dongman, and most of these places were taken away in advance by those Dongman, who had a good relationship with the Han land a long time ago.
If the remaining cave barbarians are unwilling to change the land and return to the stream, and organize the households, there will only be a dead end.
By the first half of 1799, with the help of the assassination case of the Dali royal family, the empire had cleaned up all the surrounding foreign regions as a whole, and the only people who were pardoned were the eight countries that the king of Goryeo and the Western Regions and the Qin State had conquered Pars.
The empire's foreign forces were strictly limited to 1,200.
……
At the end of 1798, Xu Shiyang arrived in Jinling to attend this year's year-end meeting.
At this time, the storm caused by the Dali case was far from subsided, and unsurprisingly, in addition to involving the Dali royal family, the case also affected many people in the empire.
Including the green forest, as well as many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River.
The former, Xu Shiyang, also had to admit that they deserved it, after all, at least half of the people who participated in the attack at that time were Han Chinese warriors from the Central Plains.
But the latter, Xu Shiyang believes that more than half of them are implicated.
The reason is very far-fetched - among the knights who participated in the assassination case, some of them served as nurses for the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and most of the wealthy families in Jiangnan have relatives, friends, classmates, teachers and students and the like.
As a result, almost all the wealthy families and gentry in the entire Jiangnan were involved in this fatal case.
Everyone knows what it means to rebel, and everyone can probably think that at the beginning of the new dynasty, it should normally kill some pigs from the previous dynasty to eat meat.
But this time to kill the pig, whether it can be killed on your own head, or whether you can kill it directly or just cut a piece of meat to taste, this can be "negotiated".
As a result, all the wealthy families poured out their possessions and went about with their connections, hoping to get a promise of exoneration or forgiveness, or to take some money to ward off the disaster.
However, the special case team of the Criminal Department was unmoved, and began to search the homes of the wealthy families involved in the case according to the confessions of those captured Jianghu people and the relationship between distance and proximity.
This investigation does not matter, a larger problem is revealed:
In Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, a local wealthy Zhuang family, accumulated wealth for generations, after the demise of the previous Zhou, began to recruit celebrities and scholars on their own, compiling the "History of Zhou".
Compiling the history of the former dynasty has always been one of the most enthusiastic jobs of the Han gentry, because if it is really written, it is a great achievement of celebrities through the ages.
It's just that there is also a great risk in compiling history, because it is difficult for you to figure out the attitude of the new dynasty towards the history of the old dynasty, but if you submit to the authority of the new dynasty and revise some history, then the gentry who participated in the compilation and publication of the book will not only not be praised by the scholars, but may even become the object of everyone's spit.
One of the reasons why the Zhuang family dared to write the "History of Zhou" was that the empire did not treat the clan of the Great Zhou after all, which made them mistakenly think that the empire should not particularly care about this history.
Another reason is that the gentry who participated in the compilation were all Confucian celebrities, and there were countless protégés and disciples, and they were known all over the world.
The dealer thinks that no matter how arrogant the empire is, it will not be crazy enough to blame so many celebrities, right?
So, they had the courage to start compiling the "History of Zhou".
At first, the empire really didn't do anything to the gentry involved in this work, but someone secretly warned them not to write some things into the history books.
It was felt that if it was just this level of warning, then things should not be so bad, and so the work continued.
As a result, when the "History of Zhou" was basically completed, the shocking case of Dali's assassination suddenly broke out, and everything suddenly took a sharp turn.
First of all, the Criminal Department found out that several of the martial arts heroes who went to Dali to participate in the assassination case were once the guests of the banker, so it is difficult to say whether they were instructed by the banker to go to Dali.
The dealer continues to shout grievances on this matter, those heroes did live in their own homes for a few days, and the dealer did give some entanglement, but that was more than ten years ago, and it was just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, not only them, others came to the door, whether it was a famous knight or a scholar who traveled to study, the dealer who was kind and charitable would also help one or two.
But these words could not convince the Criminal Department, not to mention that a former Zhou Juren named Zha Jizuo suddenly sued the Criminal Department, saying that he had evidence of the banker's rebellion.
And the evidence is the "History of Zhou", which clearly indicates that the emperor once served as the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and theoretically should be the courtier of the Great Zhou.
Then, the Chinese Empire's self-reliance and anti-annexation of the Great Zhou should actually be regarded as a rebellion.
Well, it's completely unclear now. You say in the book that the empire is rebelling, then naturally it is the people who are dissatisfied with the empire, and people who are dissatisfied with the empire participate in the rebellion, which is simply too normal, right?
The dealer can only shout grievances, the emperor has been the festival envoy of the Great Zhou, this is a well-known thing in the world, isn't it normal to write this thing in the history books?
As for the evaluation, the annotation of the book is very clear, that is the opinion of the former Zhou Prime Minister Wen Zhong, from his point of view, isn't the empire a rebellion?
The dealer just includes everyone's views on this matter, and the so-called Huaxia rebellion is really not the dealer's point of view!
