Chapter 374: Fear of Might
The smell of blood filled the hall, and the air was mixed with a bit of urine. Before he died, Guoshi was already scared to pee.
Li Xiao put away his sword and wiped it with a white cloth.
All at once, the movements are delicate and gentle, as if they are tender to a beauty.
The Baekje people in the hall didn't dare to take a sip, and just now everyone was mocking Li Xiao in their hearts for being weak and bullying, but now they have cut down the patriarch of the national clan with one sword.
Return the sword into the sheath.
Li Xiao's gaze swept over the group of Baekje people again, and no one dared to meet the gaze that looked directly at him, and they all bowed their heads.
This is the power of killing!
When the tiger is not powerful, no one will be afraid of him. And when the tiger is really powerful, everyone will be prostrate and tremble.
"Is there anyone from the Sha Yan Clan?"
Li Xiao asked.
Hearing the roll call, the patriarchs of the Sha clan and the Yan clan in the hall were frightened, and they fell to their knees directly with a plop.
They are actually the real soft bones, and if the bones were hard enough, they wouldn't have survived to this day. The real hard bones in this Wuzhenzhou city are the former assassin Shi Zhen, who refused to surrender when the Tang army was in the city, and led the troops out of the city to fight, but was defeated by Xue Rengui in one round, and was finally captured and killed in front of the battle.
The two of them couldn't finish their frightened words, they just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"The Sha clan Yan clan, if he is obedient, secretly resists the power of heaven and beheads!"
Several guards stepped forward and dragged the two forward, this time Li Xiao didn't have to do it himself, Zhang Cong and Liu Garlic were responsible, and one person and one knife resulted in two old guys.
A moment later, the three heads were placed in the tray.
The four major families in the city of Wuzhenzhou in the past, on the day of the battle, the Zhen clan was beheaded and the family was wiped out. The remaining three clans, the Guo clan, the Yan clan, and the Sha clan, were also served in one pot today.
"The three clans of the Guo clan, the Yan clan, and the Sha clan were all confiscated, the property was confiscated, and all the men and women were enslaved, and they were sent to Tamna Island for auction."
Li Xiao's words, the past three major families disappeared.
This young man, who used to look quite kind, has now turned into a devouring beast in front of the Baekje people.
Only then did they remember that this person was an assassin sent by the Tang Emperor, and he and Xue Rengui were the same Tang people.
And the Tang people are beasts of prey.
Someone had a weak leg and fell to his knees on the ground.
More and more people are on their knees and even scrambling to be the first.
Looking at the Baekje people kneeling on the ground in front of him, Li Xiao was very satisfied.
The so-called rule is not just kindness, but also authority
Grace and power are combined, and fear of power will be Huaide.
Since the beginning of the Sui Emperor, several emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties have repeatedly sent troops to the east, so why?
In Yang Guang's words, it will not worry future generations. What's worried? Worry about the Liao Kingdom, Jurchen, Mongolia, and Jin after the Ming Dynasty.
Li Shimin has fought countless battles in his life, and has also destroyed many countries such as Turkic Gaochang, but he is still very merciful to the people of those conquered and destroyed countries, but he only slaughtered the city of Goguryeo in Liaodong, why?
All because in the eyes of these emperors, although the Turks on the steppe were also fierce enemies, they were only border troubles. And the real henchman is a dynasty like Goguryeo that has been half agrarian and semi-nomadic for hundreds of years.
The grassland Hu tribe comes and goes like the wind, and the prosperity is fast and the extinction is fast, and sometimes a heavy snowstorm may weaken their strength.
But the agrarian civilization is extremely resilient.
Goguryeo has been established in Liaodong for 700 years, and it has developed from a small country in the past to a hegemon in the northeast, which is a surprising trend. The Goguryeo people successively plundered the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty, and even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they repeatedly took advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains to invade the west of the Liao River.
Although in history, because of the continuous attacks of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Goguryeo was finally strangled for 700 years and did not let him enter Guanzhong. But historically, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, some powerful forces continued to rise in the northeast, such as the Bohai Sea, Khitan, Silla and so on.
The weakness of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the Khitans also accounted for part of the reason, Wu Zetian Tang army fought with the rebellious Khitan several times, and lost countless soldiers, which greatly damaged the strength of the Tang army, which also led to the Tang army in the northwest when fighting against the Tubo people, the strength was insufficient, and there were many victories and defeats.
It can even be said that the Khitan in the Tang Dynasty began to rise, and finally established a powerful Liao State in the Five Dynasties, so that the Northern Song Dynasty, which later unified the Central Plains, could not destroy the Liao State and restore the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun throughout its life.
In some ways, forces like Goguryeo in Liaodong were actually more threatening to the Tang Dynasty than the Turkic Hu people in the northern steppes.
The Turks only attacked and invaded the Tang Dynasty, and if Goguryeo continued to grow and develop, it was possible that they would eventually enter Guanzhong, drink the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and destroy the Han family.
Yang Jian saw this hidden danger in his early years, and all of them had the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. Yang Guang also saw it, so there will be three expeditions to Goguryeo. Li Shimin also saw it, so after he destroyed the Turks, he had to conquer Goguryeo three times in his old age.
Li Shimin is not stupid, nor is he a reckless emperor, and when he is old, he has to conquer Goguryeo, not to add another stroke to his martial arts book, but to deeply feel the threat of the Goguryeo people.
Don't let future generations worry!
It is the desperate efforts of Yang Guang and Li Shimin that will finally break the backbone of the Northeast forces, otherwise, I am afraid that forces like Liao, Jinqing, and Qing will rise hundreds of years in advance.
"A certain is appointed by the Son of Heaven as a Tang Heavenly Official, which represents the Tang Empire, and you are no longer a citizen of Baekje, but a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. You should abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and if you dare to violate it, you will blame a certain merciless. ”
Those people hurriedly kowtowed in agreement.
There are three bloody human heads, who dares not to agree.
Zhao Zhiman said very politely on the side, "Otherwise, just kill them all, it's a hundred." ”
"That's right, forget it if you kill it, you can still make a fortune by raiding your family and destroying your family."
Those people were scared to pee, they were really scared to pee.
The thick smell of urine spreads, and death is always so cruel in the face of death.
Li Xiao deliberately pretended to think, and waited for a while before shaking his head.
"It's not in line with the spirit of my Tang Dynasty to punish without teaching, the three families of Guosha Yan are the first to violate my law, and other innocent officials can't offend them."
But of course, Li Xiao won't let go of these people so easily.
He issued a number of orders on the spot, the first of which was to prohibit the possession of private weapons, and from now on, all weapons privately owned by the Baekje people would be confiscated, not only military standard weapons, such as strong bows and crossbows, but also ordinary spears and hunting bows.
"Whoever dares to hide a weapon will be killed immediately."
Except for the permission to have things like kitchen knives and wood knives, any weapon that kills people is not allowed.
This is a crucial step, and the collection of weapons is in the interest of law and order.
Second.
Land should be re-surveyed, household registration should be checked, and land and population should not be concealed. Li Xiao also stipulated that each ding could have a land quota of 10 mu, and if the excess amount was to be paid, the deed money would be 10 percent.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
