Chapter 437: The King's Determination
Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Peng, the Praetorian Guard savagely kicked open the main gate of the luxurious mansion in Seoul, the Praetorian Guard soldiers armed with swords, spears and shotguns, after entering, without saying a word, directly subdued the servants and family members who came to inquire about the blockade with weapons, if any family dared to resist with weapons, it was immediately a round of shotgun shooting, and they didn't even give a chance to shout!
This is quite rare in Seoul, the capital of the Korean Kingdom, which has been peaceful for a long time!
After more than a dozen families who intended to protect their homes were shot into 'honeycomb coal' by the Praetorian Guards, how did the hundreds of people in this mansion not know that something was wrong!
The soldiers of the Korean Royal Janissaries stepped over the dead bodies and trampled on the blood-soaked ground, like hungry beasts, pulling out the female family members and owners hidden in the inner courtyard of the mansion like chickens!
The high-ranking officials of the Korean Kingdom, who were taken care of by several Praetorian Guard soldiers, shouted with resentment about their position, their own name, and their arrogant attitude of going to the king's palace when they were dragged out, as if the king surnamed Li was just an ordinary person with a high status in his eyes!
Until a Praetorian Guard officer walked in front of him and said lightly: "The 30,000 army has been defeated, and the Han army will not be able to approach the city in a few days!" ”
After hearing this, the arrested high-ranking North Korean official's face suddenly turned pale, his news is not as good as always paying attention to the king surnamed Li who occupies it, not to mention, although the magnates of the Korean kingdom are unanimous with the outside world, but they still maintain the original faction in their bones, and it is difficult to achieve unreserved trust and information sharing between each other.
After hearing the news of the defeat of the army, this high-ranking Korean official could no longer live up to his arrogant attitude, even if he knew very well at that time that it was the king of Joseon who was determined to punish him, he was not so disheartened as he is now!
Because he knows very well that no matter how noble the status of the king of Joseon is, after all, he also belongs to the leader of the circle of the Joseon Kingdom, and he has no ability to confront the magnates of the entire Joseon Kingdom, and he does not dare to kill the important ministers of the kingdom indiscriminately!
Even if he goes to prison, as long as the Han army doesn't fight, he will have a day to turn over again!
However, all power conspiracies, under the simple and convenient violent war, are so pale and powerless, even if you have deep connections and power against the sky, in front of the army, there is nowhere to avenge the unreasonable killing of you!
This is the hegemony of the independent armed forces, and it is also the source of fear for the entire world's upper echelons!
As long as they are qualified to enter the upper circles, no one wants to have an invincible dictator and tyrant in this world, because this kind of person will make these powerful people who have already reached the pinnacle of life insecure!
Therefore, with the development of the times, most of the powerful people above continue to use perfect laws to restrict the rights of individuals, as long as the rules are limited, they can use power to scheming, eloquence, and connections to maneuver, even if they fail, they will not die without a place to be buried!
Moreover, the law will not blame the public!
This crowd refers to a large number of powerful people, and the common people are not among them......
Of course, the powerful people who have no brains will kill all the ordinary people, and they can't even kill too much, the commoners are the lambs who pay taxes, and if the number is small, it is actually equivalent to the deflated money bag of the country's ruling class!
Therefore, the ruling class at the top should maintain the number of ordinary people, use a small amount of welfare sweetness, and let the vast number of ordinary people continue to create wealth, and then, the ruling class uses seemingly reasonable but completely unfair rules and regulations, that is, the law, to take out the wealth in the hands of the common people and put it into their own pockets!
That's what the state and the law are all about!
The state is a machine of violence, an instrument used to maintain the ruling power of the upper classes!
The army is the guarantee used by the upper class to prevent and suppress the awakening of the majority of the common people!
As long as the army is strong enough, no matter how corrupt the bureaucracy is, the people can only stare at the two eyes without illness and dare not speak, and after the people's grievances accumulate to a certain extent, the government will pick out a group of officials who have failed in the political struggle to come out, and be the scapegoat for corruption.
This is the basic means used by the upper class to maintain stability!
Even in the 21st century, there are very few dictators, but the interest groups have always remained the same, and if you are careful, you will find that those in power above the big countries seem to come from the family blood with a glorious history, and as for the rise of the grassroots, it can only appear in fiction......
The power families above will never allow the ordinary people underground to touch their cake!
The rise of Zhao Dutian is to break this balance, but fortunately, he has the system to have the ability to break it!
Of course, people have selfish desires, just like those politicians, who sit in that seat and say that they are for the people and for peace, but in fact they have the resources to feed thousands of poor families!
Zhao Dutian naturally won't treat himself badly, there is only one thing he can do, reduce the number of magnates in the whole world as much as possible, make the family that oppresses the people less, and it is best to ensure that everyone else can be relatively equal except for himself!
With one less family of the oppressive class, the people will have one more cake to distribute, and one more powerful person who exploits the people, and the people will have to eat less food!
Although the development of the productive forces can make up for the expansion of this limit, with the development of the productive forces, the population base of mankind is also constantly expanding!
Zhao Dutian, who has the assistance of the system, can still do it at this point, today's America, basically except for the royal family, there is no real aristocracy, and the relatively wealthy system Han people and Han officials are just equivalent to a well-off family, far less than the local tyrants in the past, and they will take out the gold mountains and silver seas at every turn!
The magnates and tyrants of the American continent have been flattened by Zhao Dutian by violent means, Japan is closely behind, the Manchu Empire is in the process of cutting meat, and the Korean Peninsula has entered the end!
Since the king surnamed Li has made up his mind to be the dog leg of the Han army, he will naturally be as ruthless as he is, and those Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers also know the strength of the Han army, so they naturally don't want to work against this kind of army, and they are very active in carrying out the king's orders!
When Xue Ziwu led the main force of the Han army to Seoul, which opened the gate, the entire Seoul was cleared, and the king of Joseon had already piled up the treasury with the goods from the house, waiting to express his loyalty!
