Late Sui 548_Chapter 548 Hebei Civil Strife (Today's seventh watch is completed, I am dazzled, brothers, please comfort me, vote for it!) ）

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister"

This is the favorite sentence of the emperors of the great unified dynasty in the feudal era, but in fact, since the end of the Han Dynasty, this sentence has gradually changed its taste.

Especially since the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains has fallen into a centuries-long split. In the era of division, war, and chaos, families began to emerge gradually.

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people."

The "Wang Xie" does not refer to one person, but to two surnames: Wang and Xie. The Wang family and the Xie family were the masters of the family in the Jin Dynasty, and the two most brilliant and dazzling figures, Wang Dao and Xie An, both had the position of prime minister and controlled the government for decades. "The king and the horse share the world", so that ordinary people only know that there is Wang Xie, but they do not know that there is a royal family. It can be seen that the power and power of the family are terrible.

Families often originate from the "family" in the first place. In the beginning, the family was very small, with only a few people, but after several generations of multiplication, this originally small family gradually became larger, and gathered together to form a "clan". At this time, the "clan" cannot be regarded as a big family, but only has a rudimentary form.

Then, due to war or other factors, many outstanding pillars of this "clan" appeared, entered the state power level, and held important positions in the state. In line with the principle of "promoting the virtuous and not avoiding relatives," these people have vigorously recruited people of their own nationality into the state power, and in the long run, the entire state power will be filled with people of that nationality.

Thus, the family was formed.

Especially in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the development of the family became stronger and stronger. For example, the Eastern and Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, and Great Sui of the Northern Dynasties, and the Song Qi Liang Chen of the Southern Dynasties, almost all of these dynasties fell into the hands of the more powerful gate lords in the family. When the power of the gate valve reaches its peak, no one can control it. Often, they usurp the dynasty and stand on their own. This is not the case with the alternation of dynasties between the north and the south for hundreds of years.

In the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty, at the local level, they occupied a large number of fields and slaves, implemented the "manor" system of economic development, and each manor had its own ** armed forces, as few as a few hundred, as many as tens of thousands, becoming a veritable ** kingdom. And the lord of the manor is like the emperor, with absolute authority over the affairs of the manor. The network is high-quality and newer, and what is even more ruthless is that they don't even have to pay taxes. The income is completely owned by yourself.

Politically, this group of people has developed a wide variety of policies and laws that benefit them. The most notorious is the "hereditary system". Not only is the title hereditary, but also the military position, and the civil and military official positions such as the assassin can also be hereditary.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the family family developed to its heyday. Four traditional families appeared: Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang. In the south, there are big surnames such as Wang, Xie, Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu.

As a result of years of war, some families gradually declined, while others prospered for various reasons.

In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The north has experienced a bloody baptism, and many families have fled to the south to avoid war and chaos and merged with the indigenous tribes in the south. In this way, the power of the great clans in the north gradually declined. The south is relatively peaceful and stable, so it basically has no impact on the family; In addition, several regimes in the Southern Dynasties gave them special preferential treatment, so the great families in the south not only did not decline, but flourished even more.

And because these families are all ** kingdoms. There is no economic interest with the central government. So. They have almost no national concept in their hearts, and they rarely pay attention to national affairs. It is precisely because of this psychology that when the Sui Dynasty attacked Nanchen, they behaved indifferently and truly achieved "nothing to do with themselves"! In the eyes of this group of people, any regime is the same, there is no essential difference, as long as it can guarantee its political and economic privileges. …,

The so-called prosperity must be played, and everything is the same. The family arrived after the Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south. Also began the inevitable weakening. Yang Jian himself was also born as a gate valve and usurped the throne to establish a dynasty. Of course, he was very wary of these same gate valve families, especially after destroying the Chen Dynasty, the first thing he dealt with was the Jiangnan family that had nothing to do with the Guanlong Group, the ruling group of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Jian's approach is very simple, first he introduced many strict policies, forcing more than half of these families who have been high for many years. Then the army that had been waiting for it would go to the south, and all those who rebelled would be killed. After a bloody purge. The Jiangnan family has suffered countless casualties, and it is honest.

At this time, Yang Jian finished playing the stick and began to give sweet dates again. To appease the remaining families, put the policy that was too harsh. A lot more revisions. With these changes, the family power in Jiangnan has been almost wiped out. The rest are all honest.

When Chen Kefu first knew about the rebellion in the south, it was Mao Xi who told him. At that time, Mao Xi told him that the Jiangnan families rebelled because they were nostalgic and dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty, so they rebelled and planned to restore the Chen Dynasty. After listening to this, Chen Kefu, who was still a teenager at the time, felt very excited, and felt that these Jiangnan families were really loyal ministers, no wonder they all said that they had crossed the south and inherited the clothes of the Han family.

Later, he fought in Liaodong and came into contact with the Jiangnan family again. At that time, the answer he got was that Yang Jian wanted to implement the Juntian system in Jiangnan, which provoked the interests of the family, so the family rebelled. And Yang Jian despised the strength of the Jiangnan family, so he made Jiangnan rebel and suffered heavy losses. At that time, he felt that Yang Guang, who had always been politically unparalleled, and Gao Ying, Li Delin, and Su Wei, who drove the Sui troika, had also messed up.

However, when he recovered most of Hebei, and due to a lack of food, he plotted everywhere, and finally hit the family with his idea, he suddenly understood. It turned out that the reasons for the Jiangnan rebellion that he knew before were all appearances, and the real reason was that Yang Jian was an old fox, and the Jiangnan rebellion was directed by him.

Just like now, sitting in the hall, Chen Kefu quietly listened to the investigation department's monitoring report on the big families, landlords, and large temples and Taoist temples in Hebei. Hearing Li Wusheng's emotionless tone tell him that if he didn't appease the powerful people, these powerful families in Hebei, and even the original bureaucrats, might be in chaos in the near future, Chen Kefu was not only a little surprised.

On the contrary, when he heard that the families finally couldn't hold their breath and began to continue to connect and plot, he showed a smile instead.

"Your Highness, the Investigation Department has already mastered the list of most of the families, Haoqiang, and former officials who are conspiring together. In addition, there are many large temples in Hebei that are also a little faintly restless, and we have sent a large number of people to monitor them. I asked to go out and the police department to send people to arrest them, otherwise, if I waited any longer, I was afraid that the chaos would be uncontrollable. ”

The Investigation Department has a great deal of internal supervision power, and everyone is within their scope of supervision, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns. However, correspondingly, they only have the right to monitor and supervise, but they do not have the right to arrest and interrogate. However, they have no right to arrest anyone without any evidence they have obtained, and they must report it, and finally the police department will arrest and interrogate them based on their evidence.

Chen Kefu shook his head and said indifferently, "If there is not enough manpower, I can give you a warrant, and let the Gendarmerie Department and the students of the Broken Army Martial Arts Hall transfer manpower to you to increase the supervision force." But without my warrant, no one is allowed to act without permission. ”

Li Wusheng had some doubts in his eyes, but he still nodded without hesitation: "It belongs to obedience!" ”…,

"Okay, you can report to me at any time on the monitoring situation, go ahead."

"Subordinates retire!"

After Li Wusheng left, the smile on the corner of Chen Kefu's mouth had turned into a cruel sneer.

This time to buy grain from the wealthy and powerful at a low price, it is just an opportunity. In fact, since Chen Kefu entered Hebei, he has been beating the ideas of these powerful families. Liaodong was composed of immigrants and some aborigines after the pacification of Goguryeo, and this vast place has only been a few years, and there has not yet been a strong family. Therefore, the Liaodong Army was very comfortable with the management and rule of Liaodong at the beginning, but after entering Hebei, he sensitively realized that although Hebei was subordinate to him, he also transferred any new official positions in various places. But those families are strong, but they are very powerful, and they faintly feel like the emperor of the soil.

They annexed land, owned large farms, and hid large numbers of tenant farmers. It not only reduces the tax revenue of the imperial court, but also hides the population, and they also have money, food, people, and weapons, which is completely a hidden danger of turmoil.

Of course, Chen Kefu does not allow the existence of this group of people, but if he is forced, he will not be able to. After thinking about it, in the end, Chen Kefu simply used this time to borrow grain, and was ready to directly force these people to rebel, and then he would be the same as Yang Jian back then. First force the rebellion, and then suppress it fiercely. After most of the powerful families are eliminated, they will come to appease, so that the powerful families can be eliminated and the place can be returned to the imperial court.

And he, not only can he become famous by quelling the chaos, but he can also take back all these powerful manor land slaves. Even in the end, no one in the local area will sympathize with those powerful families and stand on their side.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a monarch in the Jin State who dealt with his younger brother, obviously hated his younger brother to the bone, but he always responded to his requests, and finally raised his younger brother's ** to fill it in, leading him to a rebellion, and then the monarch was justified and killed his younger brother with benevolence and righteousness. He also won praise from top to bottom, and everyone said that he was benevolent and righteous.

If you want to take it first, you must give it first.

This is Chen Kefu's plan, to lure the snake out of the hole, and finally make another thunderous move, and finally, throw two sweet dates, that is, eradicate the strong family, and do not lose the support of the people, and count it in one fell swoop.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for these Hebei family heroes who don't know the height of the sky to jump up and perform. (To be continued)
