Chapter 1092: The Thirteen Prefectures of Great Wu
Qingji's fake death this time can be described as well-intentioned, and he has almost hidden it from everyone.
Even Prince Heng, Wu Fan, and Wu Ji were concealed.
The only people who really know that Qingji is a fake death are Sun Wu, Fan Li, Ji Ko, and Jiao Slip.
This was originally the countermeasure that Qingji discussed with Fan Li and Sun Wu.
The ancestral dragon died and divided.
How can this be prevented?
The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.
In view of this, Qingji faked his death once, let the enemies who were originally dormant in the dark jump out one by one, and then eradicate them one by one.
Like Gou Jian and Wu Gao, Qingji had already grasped the information that they had rebels, but they didn't release it.
Wu Fa is not punished.
If they don't do it for a long time, Qingji will have no suitable reason to get rid of these rebellions in the name of righteousness.
Especially the clowns scattered all over the place, if Qingji didn't die, how would they dare to start a rebellion?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qingji was able to eliminate all the rebel forces in the country, and by the way, he carried out some overseas (extraterritorial) emigration.
Moreover, Qingji can also take this opportunity to test Prince Heng and Wu Zhang, Wu Fan and other vassal kings.
Facts have proved that Prince Heng is indeed an outstanding emperor and has the character that a Ming monarch should have.
The vassal kings can also watch and help each other, instead of ignoring their family and country for their own selfishness.
……
Bohai County, Linzi City.
When Tian Chang, Bao Mu, Guoxia and others were overjoyed when they learned the news of Qingji's death, they took advantage of the temporary chaos of the Great Wu court, they escaped from Jinling and came to Bohai County to rebel.
Tian, Bao, Guo and other families were originally nobles of Qi State, hereditary nobles.
It's just that after the destruction of Qi by Wu, their glory is no longer there, and they are almost reduced to civilians.
How can Tian Chang, Bao Mu and others, who were born in the big aristocracy, tolerate this.
As Tian Chang, when the Wu army was near the city of Linzi, he had a meritorious service in persuading the king of Qi to surrender, so after the Wu State destroyed Qi, he was rewarded with 1,000 households in Linzi by Qingji, and he was also given the post of county guard of Hedong County.
Tian Chang originally wanted to become bigger and stronger in office, restore the foundation of his ancestors, and glorify the lintel.
Unexpectedly, his corruption and bribery happened, coupled with his mediocre political performance, so after four or five years as a county guard, Tian Chang was dismissed and investigated.
This made Tian Chang very indignant.
So, Tian Chang, together with Bao Mu, Guoxia and others, decided to take advantage of Qingji's death and the instability of the Great Wu regime to officially raise troops, and those who must respond will gather!
"Kill!"
Tian Chang led a group of guests and family members to attack the Linzi City Government by surprise, drove away or killed a number of officials such as the county guard, the county officer, and the county order, and then summoned the Li Shu of Linzi City.
Tian Chang held the blood-stained sword in his hand, with an impassioned look on his face, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers of the Qi Kingdom! ”
"The world is bitter and tyrannical! The tyrant Qingji is now dead! ”
"There is no way to be tyrannical, and the second and third sons are violently expropriated, and they are wantonly conscripted for military service, which makes me have the urgency of hanging upside down, and the people's livelihood is in danger of exhaustion!"
"In order to achieve his own merits, Tyranny Wu used all his strength to harm the people of the world, and also harmed my Qi people!"
"How many Qi men have thrown their heads and spilled their blood for Qingji's ambition?"
"He Qingji didn't treat his second and third sons as real countrymen at all!"
After a pause, Tian Chang said loudly again: "Now, I am waiting for the time to raise an army against Wu!" ”
"Please take up arms and follow me to fight back against the tyrannical Wu and support the king of Qi.
"The day of the destruction of Tyrannical Wu is not far away!"
"On the day of the restoration of the Great Qi Society, you are all heroes, do you dare to be a doctor?"
Tian Chang flickered at Li Shu around the high platform.
However, in the face of Tian Chang's statement, Li Shu couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.
"Tianzi, you are going to rebel!"
"Rebellion is a dead end!"
"Joke! I'm living a good life this day, why should I rebel with you! ”
"Qi Guo? That was many years ago. ”
"In the past, under the rule of Qi State, I even had a problem with food and clothing, but now Da Wu has given me abundant food and clothing, subsidies for childbirth, and preferential treatment for farming and business, and you let me rebel?"
"Except for the more frequent military service, Da Wu is almost impeccable!"
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Tian Chang and others have become clowns.
Some grumpy men have even rolled up their sleeves and looked at Tian Chang indignantly.
"It's a thief!"
"Folks, catch the thieves! Kill him! ”
"Whoever wants to ruin my current life is my enemy!"
"Up!"
The furious crowd immediately rushed over, even if Tian Chang and the others had swords in their hands, they couldn't play much role at this time.
When the county soldiers stationed outside the city arrived, Tian Chang, Bao Mu and others had been completely controlled.
Tian Chang was blinded.
This is completely different from the "one call and one hundred responses" in his imagination.
Poles apart!
What went wrong?
What was supposed to be a huge "uprising" turned out to be a farce and was easily suppressed.
For example, the rebellion that occurred here in Linzi is innumerable on the territory of Dawu.
However, as a result, without exception, these rebellions were quickly put down.
Li Shu, who had plenty of food and clothing, was unwilling to rebel with old nobles like Tian Chang and Bao Mu, but took the initiative to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to arrest the thieves......
According to the decree promulgated by Qingji, anyone who led the rebellion was sentenced to death, and the three tribes were exterminated, and those within the nine tribes were also implicated and exiled for tens of thousands of miles.
As for those who participated in the rebellion, their families were also exiled to Western Asia, Western Europe, and the Mediterranean.
For more than a month, good news was reported frequently in various parts of Dawu, and rebellions, large and small, basically disappeared.
According to later statistics, more than 6,000 people were killed, and about 120,000 rebels and their families were exiled to the west.
In order to perpetuate the country of Great Wu and prevent the occurrence of rebellions, Qingji even moved the old nobles and their families from other countries to settle down in overseas or extraterritorial places.
This essentially left the remnants of the nations without the possibility of rebellion.
……
The time entered the forty-ninth year of Wu Shi Huang, that is, in 465 BC, the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
While the rebellion in the country was basically suppressed, Qingji also implemented the imperial examination system on the one hand.
Imperial Examination!
Moreover, Qingji also reformed the current administrative area of Dawu by the way.
At this time, on the Fengtian Palace, Qingji asked the guards to move out a screen, and on top of the screen, a map that had been drawn out for a short time was hung.
In front of the ministers, Qingji said slowly: "Second and third sons, I am a native of Great Wu, and now there are forty-five counties, one thousand and eighty-two counties. On average, each county has more than 20 counties. ”
"The territory of Great Wu is vast, and I and my second and third sons have limited energy, so it is inevitable that they will miss a moment of oversight."
"In addition, local government affairs are huge, and power is concentrated in the county guard, which is inconvenient. Therefore, I want to establish a state level, which is above the county and county. ”
"Since then, my native Wu has been divided into thirteen states, namely: Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou."
"Each state has a person who is set up to inspect the county to which it belongs, to inspect the county, the county officials and the local tyrants, to rectify the lawlessness, and to impeach the corrupt officials."
