Chapter 568: Exile of a Million

"I rule the troubled times, I must be fierce!" In the silent Wenhua Pavilion, Chen Kefu was full of solemnity and said sternly.

"For hundreds of years, relying on their manors and dock forts in the countryside has completely disobeyed the discipline of the imperial court, just like a country outside the world. They seized and annexed land, bullied the villages, and oppressed the people. Evading taxes, concealing the population, and even privately raising private armed forces, secretly hoarding food and weapons. As soon as there was a change in the court, he immediately jumped out to stir up trouble and even corrupt the court. If we can be honest and reformed, this king can still let them go. However, this time the court only borrowed some grain from them and cleared back some of the land they had seized by skill, and they immediately coerced the people and rebelled with a large army. ”

"Is this tolerable, but is it unbearable?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Chen Kefu thoughtfully, and had roughly understood Chen Kefu's thoughts.

In short, the imperial court must not tolerate the existence of such a country within a state under the rule of the imperial court. The previous actions of these powerful families had already given King Chen the intention of suppressing and weakening them. This time the borrowing of grain and Qingtian was exactly like this, but the reaction of the clans was too fierce, and they actually raised troops to rebel.

In this way, it gave the imperial court a great opportunity, although it would damage the imperial court in a short period of time. But from the perspective of the long-term interests of the imperial court, this is a great opportunity to eradicate them in one fell swoop and completely eliminate this accumulated evil.

Understanding what Chen Kefu meant, Fang Xuanling quickly and carefully calculated in his heart, and immediately had a general strategy.

He said respectfully, "Your Highness, the minister agrees with His Highness's intentions, and in troubled times, heavy canons should be used, otherwise it is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao, otherwise it is not enough to stabilize the place." However, Du Shangshu's previous policy was a bit too harsh. The minister thought that the crime of this rebellion was the strong and powerful families full of ambition, and most of the rebellious people were just forced. So I thought. The imperial court should treat differently, both to punish the former and to hide the latter, not only to eradicate those who have different intentions, but also to leave one more chance for the majority of ordinary people. ”

Chen Kefu smiled at Fang Xuanling with appreciation, it was really good to be able to understand his thoughts so quickly.

"Then according to the meaning of the right servant, how should the imperial court deal with these powerful people and ordinary rebellious people?"

"The minister proposes that all the powerful heads of the rebellious clans, and those who hold the rank of lieutenant or higher in the rebel army. They were all punished for rebellion and treason, and they were beheaded on the spot for public display. and confiscated all his property, and his relatives within three generations were sentenced to exile, and all of them were exiled to Weizhou to reclaim the barren tuntian for grazing. ”

"All the powerful clans of the world who had children in the rebellion were confiscated of their clan property, and all the clan members were exiled to Naju (Jeju Island, South Korea), which had just been changed from Ranmora Island. At this time, it was still the era of savages, and it was just captured by Hailongwei and changed to a state, with two counties and four counties). ”

"As for the rebellious people, they must also be dealt with differently, and those who have been servants of the powerful of the world for generations. The whole family was exiled to Weizhou and Luozhou, and those who held rebel positions were all beheaded and their families were exiled. The rest rebelled against the people. It is necessary to move the clan to the three counties of Yanzhou, Liaozhou and Haizhou. ”

Chen Kefu pondered for a while, "For the rebellious clan, only the rebellious backbone, in fact, it is indeed a good way to change to exile instead of killing." Blindly killing is not the best policy, exile Wei and Luo Prefectures, but it can also enrich the barren two states, it is indeed the best policy. But don't be careless. For the exiled powerful clans, it is necessary to disrupt and disperse the exile. They must not be exiled together, and after exile. It must also be guarded by the garrisons of Wei and Luo Prefecture to prevent them from causing further chaos. If anyone escapes, the local garrison will kill him. ”

"The people who participated in the rebellion on several occasions were exempted from punishment and moved to Liaodong instead, and the king agreed. However, these people cannot be regarded as exile, so they can be counted as immigrants, and after they move to Liaoxi and Liaodong, they will be disrupted and dispersed into various counties, and then supervised by the local Lizheng, Baozheng, and Jiazheng, and the land must be distributed according to the uniform land system. ”…,

"Your Highness is merciful!" Mao Xi, Wei Zheng and others, although they still disagree with this result. But I also understand that this matter is no longer simply a rebellion, but related to the struggle of interests between the imperial court and the local clans.

Fang Xuanling saw Chen Kefu's praise, and he was also relieved, he was not very old, but he was in the position of the second phase, I don't know how many people are staring at him. He was also cautious in the DPRK and China, closely following Chen Kefu's pace.

"Your Highness, the minister also has a proposal, in order to prevent the recurrence of the rebellion of the Japanese clan, the minister thinks that the court should immediately order the destruction of all the dock forts after defeating the rebels in various places. The materials were dismantled, and they were used to replace the imperial courts in various counties, towns, and cities, and could be used to build Mongolian schools and primary schools in various places. Not only that, but the imperial court cannot despise those who did not participate in this time. It is to be ordered to be dismantled, and all hidden populations to be counted and registered. ”

"In addition, it is possible to order the relocation of wealthy families from all over the world to Gyeonggi in order to enrich Gyeonggi. In this way, placing it in the Gyeonggi important area, under the supervision of the imperial court, it is inevitable that there will be no more opportunities to cause chaos, and not only will Gyeonggi be enriched, but it will also be able to eradicate the local powerful forces in one fell swoop, and the imperial court will regain control of the local area. ”

Moving wealthy households into Gyeonggi is something that all dynasties will do when they open their dynasties. After the Great Turmoil, Gyeonggi was sparsely populated, and the relocation of wealthy households to Gyeonggi could enrich Gyeonggi. Second, if the wealthy and powerful families from all over the country are moved to Gyeonggi, then the local powerful forces will inevitably be weakened accordingly, which is conducive to the stable management of the local area by the imperial court.

This time, the imperial court dug such a big pit and pulled most of the clans into the water and wiped them out. But there are also some who did not make trouble, not because they were loyal to the court, but because some people were treacherous and wanted to wait and see. That's why they escaped it. But now is the perfect opportunity to weaken the clan, how can Chen Kefu stop halfway.

"Well, this king agrees with the proposal of the second minister, and will proceed accordingly. In addition, the imperial court will soon open county schools and county schools in various places, and a large number of well-educated people are needed. These powerful people have a tradition of governing scriptures, so they were ordered by the imperial court to recruit the younger brothers of the families who are full of learning, and transferred to various counties and counties as teaching teachers. Those who have taught in various counties for more than five years can obtain the qualification of the official department, and those who perform well can be selected as official officials of the imperial court. ”

Since these clans have been hit hard, then they must be appeased appropriately. Pull them out as teachers, firstly, to solve the shortage of teachers in the imperial court, and secondly, to arrange for these children of the clan to prevent them from doing nothing all day long.

However, although Chen Kefu seems to be generous on the surface, he arranged them to be teachers, and he has the grade of nine grades and nine grades. But in fact, this grade is only regarded as the same, that is, enjoying this level of treatment, and is not a real court official. Only after they have taught for five years can they be eligible to participate in the official allocation of the Ministry of Officials, but at that time, whether they are selected or not is another matter.

Immediately, the Ministry of Internal History drafted an edict, the Ministry of Menxia reviewed it, Chen Ke reused the seal, and the imperial court's edict on the disposition of the rebellion of the clan was quickly issued to the hands of the generals from all over Hebei.

Li Benlei was the first to get the edict, and after receiving the edict and watching it, he did not hesitate. The order was immediately issued, and according to the edict, thousands of children of the clan were beheaded on the spot, and the heads of people were piled up into a mountain of human heads.

Starting from Lujiabao, in Yuyang and other four counties, one after another strong dock forts that have been operated by the family for hundreds of years have been destroyed, all the food and property have been confiscated, and the relatives of the rebellious and powerful clans who have not been beheaded have all been imprisoned in the temporary prisoner camp in Yuyang. …,

A stormy purge was the first to unfold in Yuyang, with heads being cut off one by one and dock forts being destroyed. One by one, the powerful families were wiped out, and countless powerful clansmen from the high positions in the past suddenly became the bodies of the prisoners in the camp, waiting to be exiled to the northernmost Weizhou grassland and the easternmost Luozhou.

There are also many people who have been found guilty to be related, and they are all ordered to be exiled to Weizhou and Luozhou. When it came to whether they were told or not, the powerful hermits and tenant farmers who were going to be moved to western and eastern Liaoxi by the Ju clan breathed a long sigh of relief. Although it is necessary to leave the hometown in the background of going to Liaodong, Liaodong is no longer a bitter cold place in recent years, and when it comes to Liaodong, it will only make the people of Hebei yearn for it. Being able to leave this chaotic Hebei, go to Liaodong and Liaoxi, and divide the land evenly, the people are faintly excited and happy in their hearts.

Of all of them, perhaps the most complicated and uneasy were the powerful people of the world who did not participate in the rebellion. They were also ordered to abandon the Dock Fort and to be cleared of the land and the hidden population. They also moved to Gyeonggi Youzhou, and their hearts were full of anger and unwillingness, but they were helpless.

Those powerful people of the world who rose up to rebel were destroyed by the imperial court in an instant, and the lessons of the past made them fearful. However, when I finally heard that the imperial court was going to recruit the learned people among the children of the family into Jiupin teachers, and transfer them to various county schools and county schools as teachers, and after serving for five years, they could participate in the selection of officials in the imperial court, and they became excited again. When Li Benlei asked his subordinates to vaguely remind those clans that the number of places for the imperial court to conquer the secluded world this time was limited, and they could only get it first if they moved to Gyeonggi first, most of the families immediately changed their attitudes and took the initiative to relocate
