Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Purge of Guanzhong (Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)
The total recommendation of the madman is about to reach 1000, please support it, if the total number of recommendations rises to more than 1,000 today, the madman will add one more chapter on the basis of the two chapters!
In Chang'an City, the entire school field was full of a murderous atmosphere, 10,000 elite horsemen were eyeing each other, and the school field was full of captured Hu people. This time, Guanzhong quelled the rebellion, not only annihilated 50,000 Di elites, but also eliminated more than 100,000 Qiang and Huns. Now all of these rebels have been taken to Chang'an, where they are awaiting punishment.
The crown prince Sima Shu took Meng Guan, Xie Xian, Ouyang Jian, Zu Li, Li Te, Sima Ya and others to stand on the viewing platform, looking at the black and oppressive Hu captives. On the question of how to deal with the Hu people, Sima Shu was completely different from the King of Liang. Before this, after accepting a large amount of bribes, King Liang was about to release those Hu heroes.
Who knew that before he could do anything, the court dismissed him from office, and as soon as the prince came, he immediately terminated King Liang's absurd move. Today is the time for Sima Shu to dispose of these 40,000 Hu captives, and early in the morning, all the Hu captives were escorted to the square and waited for the prince's punishment.
"When Lone first arrived in Guanzhong, he once passed by a place, where we Han people lived, and the smart and hard-working Han people lived happily and happily in this land, until one day, a group of Hu robbers broke in. They not only tortured and killed the Han people, but also robbed the wealth that belonged to the Han people. ”
"What a bloody scene it was, with corpses all over the ground, black blood on the ground, and flies coming from the smell of it gathered in piles, so that there was a buzzing sound everywhere."
Speaking of this, Sima Shu seemed to recall the tragic scene again, his face was full of sadness, and tears couldn't help but flow out again, "Lone walked into a courtyard and took a look, and found that there were corpses all over the ground, and there were even many naked female corpses, and the death from the corpses was getting worse and worse. ”
"Walking to the inner courtyard is a hell on earth, it is full of the corpses of old people, women and children, and the corpses of women and children are all mutilated, judging from the wounds, they should have been deliberately dismembered by sharp weapons. In the middle of the yard, there were two iron pots that had been kicked to the ground, so I didn't know what was inside. ”
Sima Shu's words made everyone present feel a little creepy, and the Hu captives who were standing in the scene had a feeling of impending disaster, because they had done this kind of thing in the past six months.
"There are more than 300 Han people in the courtyard, and only one young man survived hiding in the latrine, and he told Gu that it was a group of people who made people from Di and Qiang. Lone knelt on the ground and swore to the sky that if Lone could put down the rebellion one day, he would definitely avenge everyone present! ”
Saying that, Sima Shu held a bowl of water and wine, raised his hands over his head and said loudly with tears: "I don't know how many Han souls died in the hands of the Hu people in Guanzhong, this kind of human tragedy is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. Our descendants of China and the subjects of the Jin family are here to pay tribute to the souls of your compatriots, and rest in peace as soon as possible in the next life and cast into a peaceful and prosperous world! ”
After speaking, he spilled the first bowl of wine on the ground, and then threw the wine bowl away, and shouted coldly:
"Bring up the rebellion of the Hu clan!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 3,000 leaders and family members of the Di tribe who participated in the rebellion were whipped by the Jin army and stumbled over, and Qi Wannian's father and son were also among them, but the two of them were injured and carried over by several personal guards on a shelf.
Sima Shu stood at the front, followed by Meng Guan, Xie Xie, Ouyang Jian, Zu Ti, Sima Ya, Li Te, Jiang Tong and others. In addition to the tens of thousands of people who rushed to hear the news, there were also tens of thousands of princes' relatives and guards, and everyone looked at the prince Sima Shu in the square silently.
"We are a dignified seven-foot man in China, with sound hands and feet, but we can only witness the tragic death of our compatriots at the hands of Hu people, this hatred, this pain, this shame, this humiliation, even if the water of the nine rivers is poured in, it cannot be washed away."
Speaking of this, Sima Shu, whose eyes were red, knelt down and knocked his head three times. The people behind also silently followed behind and kowtowed three times.
After kowtowing, Sima Shu stood up and took another bowl of wine, raised his hands and said loudly: "May all the heroic spirits bless me in heaven and bless me to recover the border counties of the Northern Lands as soon as possible!" I'll swear to kill Hu'er and avenge you!" With that, he drank it all and slammed the bowl to the ground.
Sima Shu walked over with blood-red eyes and asked Qi Wannian's father and son, "Why did the Hu people kill the people of Guanzhong so brutally?" ”
Qi Wannian knew that he would die, and he was silent for a long time and said in a dialect: "There is nothing but for fun." ”
Sima Shu was sad in his heart when he heard this, and he stopped talking and turned around and said, "Put these two people on the pyre." ”
After that, a few people came over and dragged Qi Wannian's father and son to the firewood that had been prepared long ago, but the two of them were still speechless.
Sima Shu said with disgust: "Killing the two of you is afraid of dirtying the hands of my soldiers, and the bloody blood of the two of you is afraid of polluting my land of China and turning you into ashes, so as to eliminate the hatred in my lonely heart." Then the order was given to raise the fire.
The fire suddenly broke out, and the raging flames immediately surrounded Qi Wannian and the two, and at this time, the two of them began to scream as if they were in pain.
The terrible screams lingered over the school grounds, making the Hu people present all their hearts and galls broken, for fear that it would be their turn next, and soon turned from a burning man into a piece of black charcoal in the fire, but it continued to burn.
After disposing of the culprit, Sima Shu turned his head and stared at the leaders of the more than 3,000 Di clans, looking at the other party in a cold sweat, and the words he said made them even more devastated, "Come on, pull these people down and dig a pit and bury them all!" ”
Suddenly, the leaders of the Di tribe on the school field wailed and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Sima Shu was unmoved, and watched more than 3,000 people being buried alive.
For the first time, everyone present saw the prince's ruthless side, and those generals were fortunately all looking as usual, while literati like Ouyang Jian were not happy, and they all covered their mouths and hid to the side and vomited.
After the first evil was disposed of, the remaining 40,000 captives were ordinary Hu people, but Sima Shu still did not want to let go of the other party, he asked people to take a method of one out of ten, and selected 4,000 people from the 40,000 Hu people, and these people who were not good will become scapegoats and be killed by Sima Shu.
If it weren't for the fact that he really lacked population, Sima Shu wanted to kill all the Hu people present, but reason told him that a large number of people would be needed to build Guanzhong in the future, and these Hu captives were the best labor, so he spared these rebellious Hu people.
Sima Shu ordered to pull these more than 4,000 people aside to prepare for execution, seeing this posture, Ouyang Jian hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness has the virtue of a good life in heaven, since you have already killed the culprit, please don't involve the innocent anymore!" Hearing someone pleading for mercy, more than 4,000 Hu people hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Humph! Does God have the virtue of a good life? Why do the Hu people take pleasure in killing? Cannibalism is a habit? These Hu people burn, kill, kidnap and abuse all kinds of evil, why don't you talk about the virtue of a good life in heaven at any time? Now that we have to punish them severely, what should we talk about the virtue of a good life? Does that make sense? Sima Shu almost roared, and he pointed to the many Hu captives and said, "You ask them, which of them does not have the blood of my Chinese people on their hands?" ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Jian was speechless, and the Yongzhou Thorn Shi Xie Department stood up and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness is right, these Hu people have been doing evil and killing thousands of people since the rebellion. Speaking of this, Xie Ji paused and continued: "Your Highness, these evil Hu people can indeed be killed, but there are more than a dozen Qiang and Di teenagers among them, and even a few Huaxia people ask the adults to forgive them and give them a chance to make amends. ”
Sima Shu stepped forward to help the two of them and said: "Lone has been saying that the descendants of the Chinese Han people must unite and love each other, and share weal and woe. However, the Hu people are aliens, and they are naturally not human beings when we are Chinese Han people, but only treated as pigs, sheep and animals, which already contains the heart of the Han nation. Today, the Hu people are the main culprits, no matter how big or small, but the other dozen or so people are accomplices, helping foreign races to kill my compatriots, and so on, even their ancestors will be disgraced because of this. ”
Speaking of this, Sima Shu said loudly: "Benevolence only gives to those who are kind and keep-wise, and punishment must be for tyrannical and cruel people, and it is the way of heaven to promote good and punish evil." ”
Ouyang Jian didn't say anything when he heard this, but just gave a deep salute.
Sima Shu ordered 4,500 heads to roll down, and then the prince ordered 4,500 corpses to be burned, and then used the heads to build a Jingguan.
Sima Shu asked Ouyang Jian to write a monument to write all the atrocities of the Hu people and today's words, and the final ending is the sentence of Sima Shu: "Benevolence only gives to those who are kind and keep-wise, punishment must respond to tyranny and cruelty, and it is the way of heaven to promote good and punish evil." ”
Disposing of the Hu people who participated in the rebellion, Sima Shu urgently mobilized a group of scholars from Xincheng to prepare to start rectifying Guanzhong. Its main targets were the Hu people who migrated inward, mainly the Di and Qiang peoples.
Through the scholars he cultivated, Sima Shu propagated to the Hu people such as the Di and Qiang Xiongnu in Guanzhong, and as long as they were willing to give up their beliefs and culture and join China, the prince would recognize their Han identity. As long as you obtain the status of a Han person through study, you can enjoy the rights that the Han people have.
At the beginning of April, Sima Shu began to perform the duties of the governor of Guanzhong, and he ordered Zu Ti to lead a cavalry army and a cavalry army to continue to sweep away the remnants of the Hu people in Guanzhong.
At the same time, let Li Liu lead the infantry army to guard Tongguan and Pujin Pass; and ordered Sima Ya to lead the cavalry army in Huayin as a countermeasure; Ordered Li Teh to lead the Sanchuan cavalry army north to Fengyi County, garrison the northern counties, and Zu Yue was his deputy with the army. Then more than 20,000 people from the prince's left and right guard camps and Wuxiang infantry were transferred back to Chang'an.
At the same time, the first thing the crown prince Sima Shu did after accepting the power of Guanzhong was to write a letter to Guanzhong and all over the Quartet:
"The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan ascended the chicken head in the empty Tong Zhou Chamber, King Wen listened to Feng Ming in Qishan, Qin Huan was entitled, in the Qin Pavilion Han Chamber, Gaozu set the Mandate of Heaven in Chang'an, and the land of Guanlong was the land of China for a long time. There is also the Han family, according to Guanzhong, to back the world, Weiyuan Siyi, the beginning of the end of the world, regardless of Xia Yi, all know what the Han people want.
In the sixth year of Mourning Yuankang (296 AD), the Qiang, Xiongnu and other Hu people stole the land of Guanzhong and China with foreign races, and poisoned the Chinese people. Anyone who is a Chinese boy but has blood is all ashamed and hateful. Lying on the salary to taste the gall, grinding and wearing the strong, only trying to destroy the fierce Hu and restore the rivers and mountains. Today, Longxi in Guanzhong has been determined to be said to be the world's words: the land of China will always return to the people of China. In this way, we will continue our ambition with our Chinese compatriots! ”
The land of China will always return to the people of China! As soon as the article came out of the world, it was shocked again, and there were countless responders.
The second thing is to recruit troops and horses, and where the Juntian system has been completed in the three counties of Beidi, Shangjun, and Fengyi, nearly hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic commoners have enthusiastically joined the army in order to repay the prince's kindness. After a rigorous screening, more than 36,000 sergeants were selected from among them, and the rest were either sent home or assigned to the local Zhichong Prefecture.
More than 11,000 sergeants were selected from the tens of thousands of troops and border soldiers, and the rest of the homeless were returned to their homes.
In this way, a total of more than 47,000 non-commissioned officers from Guanzhong were selected to form the 14 Infantry Army, and then veterans were selected from the original army as the backbone, and the non-commissioned officers and officers who had been promoted through meritorious service and officers who graduated from the Chongxincheng Military Academy were the main ones to form the army.
In this way, Sima Shu had more than 60,000 infantry troops stationed in various places near the Sanfu area, and together with the Liuxiang cavalry army and the prince's army, a total of more than 97,000 people.
