Chapter 596: Expelling the Hu People
After Sun Fudu, Liu Bao and others were killed, the remaining warriors of the Qiang tribe fled in all directions and hid in various corners of Yecheng to avoid the fate of being killed.
After smashing the conspiracy of Sun Fudu and others, Shi Min and Li Nong both breathed a sigh of relief, this time the assassination conspiracy was safely avoided, but in Yecheng, there must be more conspiracies, so they must not dare to relax their vigilance.
Li Nong looked at Sun Fudu's corpse and said softly: "King Wude, Sun Thief and others are dead, but in Yecheng, the soldiers and horses of Qianhu still have an advantage, I am afraid that there will be waves, we still have to be careful!" ”
"Last time, Shi Bao wanted to put this king to death, this time it was Sun Fudu, Shi Cheng, Shi Qi and others, they are all Hu people, and they are all people around Shi Jian, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes should be Shi Jian, it is really hateful." Shi Min said angrily.
"That's right, when Sun Fudu gave the order just now, he also said that he was ordered by the emperor to kill us and others, it should be Shi Jian's conspiracy, I really can't imagine that we fully support Shi Jian's ascension to the throne, but he wants to put us to death, hum!" Li Nong was also full of anger.
Shi Min thought for a long time and said with emotion: "The first emperor also treated me well, so this king followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, and also repaid the kindness of the first emperor, but why Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Bao, Shi Yuan and others can't tolerate me, and they have to put this king to death, why is this?" After speaking, he stared at the generals under his command.
"Because King Wude and General Li controlled the military power, they were suspicious of Shi Zun and Shi Jian, and General Hu was even more fearful. Therefore, he also wanted to kill King Wude and General Li. A beggar general explained why.
Shi Min said angrily: "After the death of the first emperor, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the king controlled the imperial army, which was also to deter the generals and maintain the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhao State. Moreover. This king has never treated the Hu generals badly, why do they want to kill this king? ”
The general of the begging army hugged his fists and said: "King Wude should know that we are all remnants of the Jin Dynasty. It is not the blood of the royal family of the Zhao State. But he mastered the government of the Great Zhao State. In this way, it is natural to be suspicious, so-called. The truth that the hearts of non-my race must be different, the Hu people also understand, besides, since the first emperor ruled, he deliberately worked hard for the Jin people, the Jin people are not as good as pigs and dogs, the people are very resentful, and the Hu people are all stained with the blood of the Jin people, therefore, they are very worried about retaliation, and King Wude and General Li control the government, and they are bound to reuse the Jin people, so that they are even more afraid, for this reason, they naturally want to put King Wude to death. ”
"I see, such a simple truth, why didn't this king think of it? It seems that as long as this king lives for one day, General Hu will not give up killing this king. Shi Min finally brightened up.
"King Wude, since this is the case, what are you doing with these Hu people, it's better to kill them all in one go, and leave no one behind." Said one of the generals.
"Hu Ren's heart will not die, it will only be a scourge to keep it, or kill them all." Another beggar army general, Jian yì killed the Hu people in Yecheng.
"For so many years, the Hu people and soldiers have killed our people, robbed our people of their property at will, raped and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, it is time for them to pay the price, and the last general will support the killing of all the Hu people in Yecheng to avenge the dead people of our clan." Another beggar army general roared.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Shi Min fell into contemplation, at this moment, in Yecheng, there are more soldiers and horses of the Hu people than the beggar army, and the Hu people in Yecheng are as many as hundreds of thousands, so many people, all killed in one go, it will inevitably cause huge chaos in Yecheng.
The Hu people are fierce, they will definitely not be tied up and killed, and they will definitely resist with all their might, so that even if the beggar army and the Jin people can win, they are bound to suffer heavy losses, and the Hu people in the Central Plains, after decades of multiplication, have reached an astonishing number of millions, and the Jin people are enslaved and oppressed, and the population size is only a few million, it can be said that the population of the Hu people accounts for half of the total population of the Central Plains, and it is an extremely powerful force.
At this time, if all the Hu people in Yecheng are killed, it will be equivalent to declaring war on half of the population of the Central Plains, and the resistance will be very strong.
"In Yecheng, the Hu people occupy the majority, how can they all be killed, this matter must not be, absolutely not!" Shi Min opposed the complete beheading of the Hu people in order to completely sweep away the opposition forces in Yecheng.
"King Wude, when you continue to suffer from its chaos, the Hu people are all brutal, the heart of Huaxia will not die, I will not take this opportunity to kill them all, let alone when." The general of the beggar army, with a heavy killing intent, seems to be impatient.
Li Nong is also a person who considers the overall situation, he looked at the generals, and said softly: "Shi Bao, Sun Fudu and the like, can't represent all the Hu people, there are hundreds of thousands of Hu people in Yecheng, and there are no obvious crimes, how can they be massacred, the generals must not be carried away by hatred." ”
"King Wude, even if you don't slaughter the Hu people, in order to prevent the Hu people from rebelling, you should also have restrictions on the Hu people, otherwise, once the Hu people in Yecheng rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable." The general of the beggar army said.
When Shi Min heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, after all, there were hundreds of thousands of Hu people in Yecheng, if they rebelled together, it would be difficult to suppress it with only a few thousand beggar soldiers, and the people rebelled and must rely on weapons, as long as the Hu people were restricted from having weapons, no matter how many Hu people there were, they would not have the strength to rebel.
"Immediately send an order to transfer the 10,000 beggars defending Linshui City back to Yecheng, and then issue an order to confiscate all the weapons of the Hu generals and the people, and if anyone dares to pick up arms inside and outside the Hu people, they will be beheaded!" Shi Min gave the order loudly.
"Yes, King Wude." The general shouted his orders.
The generals rode their horses to Linshui City to deliver the order, while Shi Min and Li Nong led some of the beggar soldiers to Shi Jian's dormitory, and at this moment, they wanted to give Shi Jian a warning beating to deter Shi Jian, so that he could be his puppet honestly and stop making waves.
In Shi Jian's bedroom, Shi Jian, who was terrified in his heart, was pretending to be calm and hugging a woman, laughing together, when he saw Shi Min and Li Nong walking in, he hurriedly pushed away the woman in his arms, and said softly: "King Wude, General Li, you are here, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Sun Fudu, Liu Bao and others, intending to assassinate the ministers, etc., can the emperor know?" Li Nong said angrily.
When Shi Jian heard this, he pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly said: "No wonder there is chaos in the palace, it turns out that Sun Fudu and others are in chaos, and the two Aiqing can immediately lead the troops to kill them." ”
"Sun Thief and others have been killed, the emperor must pay more attention in the future, and stay away from such chaotic ministers and thieves, otherwise, there will be a risk of life." Shi Min said threateningly, and then left with Li Nong leading the troops.
After Shi Min left, Shi Jian's legs softened unconsciously, and this threat did not make Shi Jian back down, but made Shi Jian make up his mind to kill Shi Min and Li Nong.
A day later, the 10,000 beggars defending Linshui City arrived in Yecheng, and then, Shi Min could not issue an order to prohibit the Hu people from owning weapons, and sent troops to collect the weapons of the Hu soldiers.
This order immediately aroused the vigilance of all the Hu people in Yecheng, and in the hearts of the Hu people, Shi Min confiscated their weapons for no reason, which was a prelude to killing them, so a large number of Hu people began to flee Yecheng.
The Hu soldiers in Yecheng were even more afraid, how could they be soldiers without weapons, Shi Min confiscated their weapons, and made them feel the danger signal.
After a short discussion, the Hu soldiers gathered together and prepared to break through the city gate and fight out of Yecheng to save their lives.
"Kill the ......," the Hu soldiers shouted, killing in the direction of the city gate, and engaged the beggar army who controlled the city gate.
Under the domination of the desire to survive, the Hu soldiers greatly increased their combat strength, and broke through the city gate and escaped from Yecheng, and a large number of Hu people also fled.
Seeing that the Hu soldiers were extremely uncooperative, the various gates of Yecheng were fighting, and the entire Yecheng was in chaos, Shi Min felt the severity of the situation, according to this situation, if it continued to develop, Yecheng would be bleeding like a river, and completely lost control.
After thinking about it for a while, Shi Min immediately ordered the beggar army guarding the gate of Yecheng to open the city gate, and told the people of the city that those who were willing to follow him could stay, and those who did not want to follow could leave freely without hindrance.
Shi Min's purpose in issuing this order was to do his best to expel all the Hu people who were not of the same heart as him from Yecheng, so as to eliminate the crisis in Yecheng.
After this decree was issued, the Hu soldiers and the people scattered out from the city gates one after another, and the nearby Jin people all flocked into the city after hearing about it, so that the doorways of the gates of Yecheng were crowded.
Some of the Hu people and soldiers who fled Yecheng fled to the north of Xiangguo, which was the territory of Shi Yuan, the emerging king of Zhao, and they planned to go and annex, while the remaining Hu people stayed in the villages and towns on the periphery of Yecheng to watch the shape of Yecheng, once the shape of the shì changed, they still planned to go back, after all, their home was in Yecheng, and the means of making a living were also in Yecheng, and the days of leaving their homeland were not easy.
In Yecheng, there were still tens of thousands of Hu people who were unwilling to leave, and they obeyed Shi Min's order, handed over all the items that could be used as weapons at home, and planned to be honest obedient people.
Shi Min drove out the Hu people and reused the Jin people, this behavior caused strong dissatisfaction among the Hu people, and those Hu people who escaped from Yecheng gathered together and prepared to teach Shi Min a lesson. (To be continued......)
