Hedong.

Taiyuan, under Tianlong Mountain.

Jinyang palace city is brilliant and majestic, the east city is the palace city, the city is seven miles around, and the wall is four zhang high. The west city is the warehouse city, eight miles in the week, four zhang high, the east and west city walls are connected.

This huge palace fifty miles away from Taiyuan City amazed Luo Chengcheng.

"The first to build Jinyang Palace here was Gao Huan, who built a palace here to escape the summer. In the ninth year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, expanded the Jinyang Palace, and only built the palace city at the beginning, which was originally named the palace city, and later Emperor Wen changed its name to the new city to distinguish the Daming City of Gao Huan. In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, he built a warehouse city. In the third year of the Great Cause, Yang Guangbei toured through Jinyang, and issued an edict to rebuild the Jinyang Palace of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In the twelfth year of the great cause, during the siege of Yanmen, the soldiers and horses of the world gathered in Taiyuan Qinwang, and countless money, grain, and ordnance also arrived. ”

According to Xiao Yu to Luo Cheng, before the siege of Yanmen, Jinyang Palace was actually the same as the three cities of Taiyuan, fifty miles to the north, which were the military fortresses of the imperial court in the northeast of He. After the siege of Yanmen, the emperor requisitioned countless people to transport a lot of money, grain and equipment to the north, and finally hoarded them in Jinyang Palace.

"There are 400,000 collars of armor alone!"

Hearing this number is truly amazing.

400,000 collar armor, it is a felony for the people to privately possess a set of armor, but the emperor has stored 400,000 collar here. Other swords, guns, swords, spears, bows and crossbows are innumerable.

It is precisely with this large amount of ordnance storage that Yang Yichen was able to live in Taiyuan and Hedong in the town, otherwise, it is estimated that this place would have been the same as other places for a long time, and I don't know how many times it has been chaotic.

"How much more ordnance and food?" Luo Cheng asked Xiao Yu.

"Armor and weapons are almost useless, and they are all sealed in the arsenal of Jinyang Palace, and there were originally about one million stone grains stored in the palace city, but a lot of them were taken, but there are still more than half of them."

Hearing this number, Luo Cheng was pleasantly surprised.

These ordnances can be said to have been built when the Great Sui was at its strongest, especially seven years before the opening of the emperor, the imperial court built a large number of ordnance, which was built by recruiting countless craftsmen and spending countless people's efforts to build.

And now that the world is in turmoil, the Quartet is divided, not to mention the serious loss of craftsmen, even a strong force like Great Qin is difficult to gather such a powerful ordnance building ability for a while, just 400,000 armor, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.

"The strength accumulated during the reign of Emperor Kai of the Sui Dynasty and the first thirty years of the Great Cause can be said to be the best among all dynasties, and it can be ·····" Luo Cheng shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.

How much food and ordnance did the Great Sui hoard in the world, and the Great Sui had millions of soldiers, but in the end, it collapsed within a few years.

It's a sigh to think about.

Li Mi and Wang Shichong, these heroes, have been fighting in the Central Plains for several years, but in fact, they are all fighting with the family foundation of the Great Sui.

Yang Yichen and Xiao Yu guarded Hedong for several years, and they also relied on the savings they left behind that year.

Even Luo Cheng was able to make things happen outside the customs, in fact, it was based on the elite soldiers of the government who conquered Liao.

"Your Majesty, the officials and generals of the Taiyuan clan are all asking to see you outside the palace."

Luo Cheng was not interested, but just waved his hand.

"I know that everyone wants to see me as soon as possible, just to settle down, but I don't have time to see them for the time being, and I still have Lao Xiao Shilang and Master Wen and other Dai I to appease them."

"Oh, by the way, the Taiyuan Wang clan is bent on going their own way and stubbornly resisting to the end, and I don't think it can be too lenient to these recalcitrant people who claim to be the leaders of the Hedong Shi clan, otherwise they won't know what might be!"

The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't imagine that the emperor had just taken Taiyuan, and he would make a move on the Taiyuan Wang family, which was one of the five surnames and seven families, and the largest scholar family in Hedong.

Luo Cheng didn't have the slightest scruple about the meaning of the Taiyuan Wang family, for those noble clans and those noble officials, his attitude was willing to come and follow, and he was hired according to his talent and given some preferential treatment. But it didn't get to the point of kneeling and licking these people, he Luo Cheng relied on the rivers and mountains that were beaten down with a knife and a gun, from the beginning of the Liaodong army, with his Liaodong military merit group, and those people were mainly born in Shandong.

Therefore, the nobles did not support it, but it was not so serious. He also has conditions for giving preferential treatment to the Shi clan, and of course he must set an example for those who are stubborn and disobedient.

The resistance of the Taiyuan Wang clan this time was very resolute, resulting in the capture of Taiyuan City, but it burned a third, and more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians died. Although the Qin army did not suffer many casualties, and it lost more than a thousand, Luo Cheng was still very angry at Wang's non-cooperation.

Since they don't cooperate, then they are no longer qualified to occupy the position of the first clan in Hedong.

Taiyuan Wen's is very cooperative, and it can completely replace Wang's.

In fact, the so-called five surnames and seven families are also vulnerable in the face of the power of the imperial court.

Just like Cui Hao in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the important ministers of the Northern Wei Daowu, Ming Yuan, and Taiwu dynasties, the most important confidant of Emperor Taiwu, made great contributions to the unification of the north by the Northern Wei Dynasty, but later repaired the history of the country, just because he wrote bad words about the Tuoba family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the result was not to sit in the prison of national history, and was finally wiped out by the nine clans.

Cui Hao is also a veteran and important minister, and he is also the fifth surname of the top famous family Cui, and he married with the five surnames, which is not expensive, but so what, the emperor said that he would kill him, and he also razed his nine clans, and even his in-laws, like killing chickens.

Of course, some people say that the history of the country is just an introduction, and the real reason why he was killed was because he was too powerful, which caused the dissatisfaction and worry of those Northern Wei Tuoba nobles, so he killed Cui Hao, who was the leader of the Han clan at that time, and razed his nine clans, and connected his in-laws and scholars.

But in the final analysis, whether it is the five surnames or the seven families, or the Guan Sergeant Clan, although the strength of the Shi clan is strong, it is the whole that is strong, not the individual, and no matter how strong the individual is, it cannot fight against the imperial power.

For Luo Cheng, there is a legitimate reason to get rid of the Taiyuan Wang clan now, and as the founding emperor, he is at the peak of the imperial power, he wants to get rid of the Wang clan, Taiyuan Wen clan, Lanling Xiao clan, who have been with the Wang family for many years, can't speak for them.

As long as Luo Cheng doesn't fire the map cannon, doesn't target all the warriors, and just kills the Wang clan who resists him, then no one has anything to say.

"The minister suggests that Your Majesty should only pursue the Wang clan who resisted the power of heaven, regardless of anyone else." Xiao Yu asked again and again.

Luo Cheng laughed.

"Since Xiao Shilang is so admonished, then I will also accept the advice, so let's do it, I also know that there are many branches of the Taiyuan Wang clan, among which there are mainly two branches of the Jinyang Wang clan and the Qixian Wang clan, and the Jinyang Wang clan has a branch of the four-room royal family and the Zhongshan Wang clan. The Wang family who took the lead in resisting this time was Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family in Qi County, who was Li Yuan's brother-in-law, and Wang Yu's father Wang Bing had also taught the three princes the Situ in Sui, but even so, he should not resist. ”

After all, the Taiyuan Wang clan is a big family for hundreds of years, and it has developed to the present day, with many branches. For example, in the Wang clan of Qi County, there is a son who is now also an important minister in the Luo Cheng Dynasty, and he is Wang Qi who previously voted for Luo Cheng. There is also a quite famous figure, that is, the great Confucian Wang Tong who teaches in Longmen, and there are thousands of disciples under him, Du Yan, Fang Xuanling, etc. are his protégés.

Luo Cheng therefore pushed the boat along the way, Wang Qi and Wang Tong, regardless of the two Wang clans, the rest of the Wang clan in Qi County will be connected, who told them to follow Wang Yu and his son to be loyal to Li Yuan, and even the Jinyang Wang clan will be implicated.

can protect Wang Jue and Wang Tong, the two Wang clans, Luo Cheng can already be regarded as an extrajudicial grace.

"Wang Yu's father and son understood that they were beheaded outside Jinyang City, and the rest of the Wang family's children were exiled to Lelang and Daifang Second Counties of Andong Province as Tuntian people."
