Chapter 1 Prologue
In the early years of Daxing, Emperor Xiao Jing of Liang finally unified the world after more than ten years of conquest and finally unified the world Jianyuan Daxing, Emperor Liang ordered to exempt the people of the country from paying taxes for three years as soon as he ascended to the throne, and gave amnesty to the world, at first the people all applauded it, but when the decree really reached the place, people found that there was no tax, and the land was gone, and later I learned that it was when today's son established a thing called Tiancha Si in the local area, all the land belongs to the government, and all the people only need to be responsible for covering their heads and planting the land, and how much food they grow can be handed over to Tiancha Si, Then the Tiancha Division issued the corresponding coins according to the market price, and after figuring out what was going on, the people dragged their families to the door of the Tiancha Division and wept bitterly, saying "Long live the saint" and "Long live the beam" in their mouths.
Because before the Liang Dynasty, the ownership of the land was in the hands of the family gate, people only had nominal land, in fact, they just farmed for the family, and the price of grain was also determined by the family, the poor harvest years could not afford to sell the price, and the harvest years could not afford to sell, because the poor harvest years were no matter how low you had to sell, otherwise the family would have to starve, and everyone was not short of food in the harvest years, who had a low price and who sold more, and now the decree of the new dynasty could not sit still. I thought that you Xiao Jing was able to sit on the throne because of the support of our families, and now you are thinking about unloading the mill and killing the donkey?
So Wei, Lu, Zheng, Meng, Situ five families agreed in Daxing five years to raise troops against Liang, and then more than 20 families responded to the rebellion, the number of rebels as many as 1.5 million, less than May soldiers pointed directly at the Eastern Capital, the rebels had no intention of threatening to enter the capital to capture Emperor Liang a year ago, Meng Xun, the head of the Meng family, saw that all the heads of the family were too smooth at this moment and were dizzy, he knew that no matter what he said at this time, it would be useless, and he also knew that this rabble could not achieve a big thing, The reason why they were invincible before was because they didn't encounter the elite troops of the Great Liang, if it was really like what these fools said, then wouldn't the kings of the troubled times all be petty people?
After seeing the reality clearly, Meng looked for his third son Meng Zhige and fourth son Meng Guo, and ordered, "Ge, situation." Our army will be defeated this time, but our Meng family cannot be defeated! From now on, you will fight more bravely than anyone else, and you will let the whole world know your prestige. Besides, you take a few guards and rush to the Eastern Capital at night to go to the Li family, the Li family is a world friend with us and he is a staff member of the Prince of Qi, you go and tell them that our Meng family is willing to help him. ”
......
In a blink of an eye, at the end of the year, the attack was not as smooth as the rebels imagined, they thought that they could take the eastern capital and advance into the central capital before the winter came, but they did not expect that the fortified city in front of them actually blocked the army for half a year, and after the winter, due to the lack of winter clothes, as many as 100,000 people froze to death, and at the same time, the attack of hunger and disease made the rebels in addition to the death toll of 300,000 people, the original 1.5 million rebels died and ran and ran wounded, leaving less than 600,000 capable combat power, and with the north and south, The troops of Zhongdu arrived to form a siege against them, and the people were panicked for a while.
Eastern Capital.
"Besides, these idiots are still kept in the dark, hahahahaha. During this time, thanks to the news of your Meng family, my father has favored me. ”
"Your Royal Highness, our Meng family is just the icing on the cake, you are the emperor and noble, these small things naturally can't be compared with you."
"Besides, you're really a courtier, hahahaha." The black-robed man on the high seat let out a chilling laugh again and walked down the high platform step by step, and the people under the high platform also lowered their heads, "It's time to end." After speaking, I saw Xiao Qi disappear in place, and in an instant everyone noticed that the sky outside the hall was dark, "Roar~" A dragon roar that resounded through the sky exploded over the main hall, and then the people in the eastern capital saw a black dragon flying in the direction of the rebels, and the defenders in the city knew that this was the black dragon turned into by Prince Qi, "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! The soldiers of the city rushed out of the city for a while, and killed the rebels.
......
Ten days later, the rebels were defeated and killed 300,000 people, the Wei clan exterminated the nine clans, the Lu clan Yi three clans, the Situ clan Yi three clans, and the Zheng clan Yi three clans, which made the world wonder that the Meng clan was able to retreat with his whole body, but in addition to the original ancestral land and moved his family to the north, Meng Xun was named the Duke of Liao, guarding the north for Daliang Town, Meng Zhige was named the second general, and Meng Guo served under the third son of the emperor Xiao Qi. Since then, the rebellion, which lasted for ten months, was put down, and after this battle, all the scholars in Daliang handed over their land deeds one after another, expressing their willingness to actively cooperate with the imperial court.
In the seventh year of Daxing, Liang Bei attacked the barbarians, won a great victory, beheaded 50,000 people, and captured 70,000 prisoners.
In the ninth year of Daxing, the fourth son of the emperor went west out of the desert to annihilate the seven countries of the Western Regions in one fell swoop and set up the Western Regions Protectorate.
