For them, the women who have been Liu Bei for so long should know everything they should understand.

They all know that Liu Bei is a relatively easy-going person, and treats them very kindly, gently, and softly, but the foundation established by this is the observance of the rules.

This is especially clear about what can and cannot be done.

Except for Gong Qin and Gong Ling, everyone is from a family with their own head and face, and they are still somewhat sensitive to politics, and they are by no means those political novices who don't understand anything.

Even Gong Qin and Gong Ling, in so many years of getting along, have understood what can be brutal and capricious, and what things cannot be brutal and capricious.

The family affairs are almost rectified, and Liu Bei will start to prepare for the future governance.

Now that he is already an emperor and no longer a general, he can continue to do inconvenient things in the name of the emperor.

Of course, the first step in all this is to let the world know its existence, to let the world know about the establishment of the Third Reich of the Han Dynasty, and to surrender.

Liu Bei sent the heralds out as quickly as possible, rushed to various places, and told all the local officials the news of Liu Xie's throne and his official accession to the throne as emperor, and told the generals and local governors to congratulate themselves on the table to show their submission.

Then, he ordered the generals to cooperate with the liquidation team sent by the imperial court to carry out a thorough liquidation of the sinners and accomplices of the ancient literature school, eunuchs and foreign relatives.

Just like the liquidation of today's literary school in the past.

If someone resists by force, it is considered a rebellion, and it is more justified to suppress it.

He believes that this liquidation will be simpler than the last one, and that this liquidation will also create a better situation for the comprehensive land policy.

In fact, compared with the previous liquidation of the modern literary school, this time the executors are familiar with the way, have experience, and know what to do, plus the local army is stationed and helped, and the implementation is easier.

The Northeast China, Hebei, the Central Plains, Guanxi, and Shu were liquidated quite smoothly and successfully, and some of those who tried to resist were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the regular army.

This action is not the first time that Liu Bei has shown the strength to dominate the world, but it is the first time that Liu Bei has shown his unrivalled execution and deterrence as the emperor, and this first time is quite valuable.

Along with the news of Liu Bei's proclamation as emperor, it was Liu Bei's army.

Therefore, although many people in the local area were shocked, confused, and even a little dissatisfied, with the end of the army and the unfolding of the liquidation, no matter what dissatisfaction there was, it had to be swallowed in the stomach.

Whether people accept the Zen throne and ascend the throne, or the Han clan relatives, the Han or the Han dynasty change the name of the year, there is nothing to say, if you really want to talk about it, there will be people who say that you are not plotting against it, why do you mind so much about the things between the Han clan relatives?

The only thing that is a little difficult is the Jiangnan area, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhi areas.

However, fortunately, there is no deep foundation in these places, and the Jiangnan people and the Central Plains scholars cannot play together.

However, there are some officials, and two county magistrates and more than a dozen county orders have been put on the list, and it is quite easy to solve them, just send someone to arrest them.

In this regard, of course, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Cheng Yu fully supported, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rui immediately went to the table to congratulate and surrender to Liu Bei, and then fully supported Liu Bei to liquidate a series of areas in Jingzhou, mainly south of Nanyang County.

Nanyang County has a special status, and there is no need for Wang Rui to be involved, Zhang Ji, who serves as the county guard, can handle it himself.

Zhang, who was born in the general, was a nail planted by Liu Bei in Nanyang, and he had vigorously implemented many policies here before, and he was very unhappy with the local clans, and there were many disagreements between the two sides.

The Nanyang Hao family has lived in Nanyang for several generations, and those who can survive to this day are deeply rooted and have great power in the local area, even if Zhang is both the county prince and Liu Bei's former official, with Liu Bei behind him, there are many powerlessness in the face of them.

For example, when the slave restriction order was promoted, many Nanyang wealthy families launched the relationship between the DPRK and China, and asked people to find relationships to put pressure on Zhang Ji, so that Zhang Ji should not do things desperately, otherwise even if Liu Bei was the backer, they would have a way to make Zhang Ji very difficult.

Zhang Ji is not a person after all, he also has a family and people who care, they can't do anything to Zhang Ji himself, but if Zhang Ji is bent on embarrassing them, they can still make the people Zhang Ji care about pay some small price.

Zhang Fujun, what do you think about this matter?

Of course, as long as everyone can get along in harmony, everyone is willing to cooperate with Zhang Ji, so that Zhang Ji has enough authority here, can do a lot of good-looking face projects, accumulate enough political achievements, and promote Zhang Ji to a high position.

Isn't it fragrant for everyone to earn benefits together and be kind?

It can be said that it is a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, which seems to be very effective, which makes Zhang Ji more troubled.

Liu Bei wants to play this game with me, then I can't help it, he is my lord, I play with him, of course, there are benefits, I am willing.

But what are you guys who dare to play this game with me?

Don't you see that my blade is unfavorable?

Zhang wrote to Liu Bei about these things, and Liu Bei told him that now was not the time to act, let him be patient for the time being, wait for the opportunity, and when the time came, he could do what he wanted.

From that moment on, Zhang Ji held a grudge against them and planned to take revenge on them, and as long as the time was right, he would definitely make this group of bastards pay the price of blood.

Then, the opportunity came.

Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor, and at the same time as the liquidation of the court and the central government, it also broke the chain of interests of many Nanyang wealthy families in the central government, and a large number of members of the ancient literature school were implicated and wiped out by Liu Bei.

Among them, there are many relationships of Nanyang wealthy families, and many of the people who put pressure on Zhang Ji before have died.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ji can finally shake off his hands and feet and carry out a thorough purge of the Nanyang Hao family.

Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Nanyang Hao clan contributed greatly, together with the Hebei Hao clan, can be called half of the Eastern Han Dynasty mountains and rivers, the development so far, although the power has been greatly inferior to the previous era, but still has a great influence in the local area.

However, at the time when Liu Bei was called emperor, this group of people and their families who had influenced the political trend of the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years were indeed coming to an end.

Again, although the Han Empire is still the Han Empire, the Second Empire is dead, the Third Empire was born, and the establishment of the new empire does not have the help of the Nanyang Hao clan, and there is no ecological niche of the Nanyang Hao clan, so it is only a matter of time before they are liquidated.

Of course, the Nanyang Hao clan was unwilling to perish at this stall, and tried to hand out an olive branch to Luoyang, but it had no effect, and Luoyang did not respond.

What's more, Zhang, who was very uncomfortable by them, didn't intend to give them any chance.

According to Liu Bei's request, Zhang Ji took the slave restriction order as the starting point and launched an investigation and liquidation against them.

According to the requirements of the slave restriction order, 99% of the wealthy families in Nanyang County have problems, and they can be found guilty and then asked.

In desperation, the desperate and frightened Nanyang Hao clan could only respond.

For more than a month, more than 20 powerful wealthy families in Nanyang County were forced to revolt in rebellion, but they were pacified by Zhang Ji and Gao Shun, the lieutenant general of the 24th Army.

There are a lot of private soldiers of the Hao clan, the equipment is not bad, and the combat effectiveness is also qualified, but against the regular army under Gao Shun, it still feels like tofu hitting a stone.

Gao Shun didn't have much effort to press them to the ground and rub them, but all those who raised troops were exterminated.

After that, Zhang launched a joint investigation, and investigated the relatives and friendly families of these rebel families, and seven or eight wealthy families were unlucky in this stage of the operation and died miserably.

After the military confrontation, Zhang realized the decline of the Nanyang Hao clan and the good use of the slave restriction order, so he continued to use the slave restriction order as an entry point like electricity, and forcibly destroyed a group of fantasy wealthy families on the grounds that he had not informed the government about the slaves hidden in the homes of the major wealthy families.

The excuses he uses are all righteous and bright, these wealthy families are not clean, or rather, no one is clean at all, just to see who offends whom and who affects whom.

However, Zhang Ji's actions were quite violent, and the damage to the wealthy family was great, and a wave flowed down, and many wealthy families of four or five generations of heirlooms in Nanyang were destroyed by Zhang Ji for various reasons.

In a very short period of time, the power of the wealthy clans in Nanyang County was completely depleted, and more than 90 percent of them were destroyed, and they fell into decline in an all-round way.

Two months after the Nanyang operation, the Nanyang people, who hated and feared Zhang, gave Zhang Ji the title of "Goshawk".

The last one to get this title was the famous cool official Zhidu of the Western Han Dynasty, which is a fierce existence that even princes and nobles have to look at.

How many princes and nobles and their forces are folded in the hands of Zhidu, it is difficult to say, at least, it must be a little more ruthless than Zhang.

However, the people of Nanyang think that Zhang Ji's behavior in Nanyang is not much worse than that of Zhidu, and even more than that, and the wealthy families of the entire Nanyang County are about to be liquidated by Zhang Ji, and only a few families such as the Deng family and the Zhu family can escape from Zhang Ji's "claws".

Nanyang County was completely cleaned up by Zhang Ji, and in the face of strong political and military pressure, the Nanyang Hao clan was as fragile as a piece of paper.

And this is just a less significant microcosm of the entire liquidation operation, similar things have happened in other states and counties, and all of a sudden, more than a dozen [goshawks] appeared in the territory of the Great Han.

Those who know the industry exclaimed, "Emperor Wu returns".

It is conceivable that these people's fear of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is deep in the bone marrow, and Liu Bei has actually shouted the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

What Liu Bei is doing now is not even one-tenth of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how can these guys be embarrassed to shout out?

Of course, it doesn't matter, as long as the lining is obtained, these guys can shout as much as they want, and their mouths are on them, and Liu Bei is not interested in caring about it.

Outside of Nanyang County, Jingzhou and Yangzhou were largely unchanged under Guan Yu's suppression, while Jiaozhi had some problems.

Because of the remote location, it is also difficult to liquidate the Chen family in accordance with the regulations, and the impact of Jiaozhi on the Han Empire is too small.

The Chen family has long passed the glorious period of the Xinmang period and the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now he is in Jiaozhi, lacking strength in the Central Plains, even if it is a few years of the golden development period of the ancient literature school, he has not caught up.

Since the benefits of cleaning up may not be able to catch up with the costs they need to pay to clean up, some people suggest that they should not be liquidated against the Chen family at all, and that they should be imprisoned in Cangwu County and not let them become officials.

After comprehensive consideration, Liu Bei adopted this suggestion and ordered in his official capacity to cancel the Chen family's qualifications from the Valve Reading family, remove all the clansmen who were officials, and let them return to their hometowns and reflect behind closed doors for ten years.

Zhu Fu had to keep a good eye on the Chen clan during this period, and he was not allowed to let the Chen clan make any rash moves.

So the whole liquidation action was arranged in this way and a comprehensive action was launched, from the official accession of Liu Bei to the throne on May 20 of the fifth year of Jian'an, until September of the fifth year of Jian'an, more than three months, this liquidation action can be regarded as coming to an end.

It's not that no one resisted, after learning that Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor and wanted to liquidate the actions of the conservatives, those conservative protégés and former officials did not tie their hands and arrest them, and some people organized private soldiers to resist, but it was still the same sentence.

How can a private soldier compete with an elite regular army?

Everyone's weapons are not of the same level.

Liu Bei had already iterated the iron-smelting process of the Han Empire in Liangzhou, and over the years, iron-smelting craftsmen have been constantly summing up experience, developing more efficient iron-smelting processes, and optimizing some of the methods initially instructed by Liu Bei in detail.

The ring-head knife made by the iron-smelting process developed now, its toughness can far exceed even the early Liangzhou version of the ring-head knife, and the two blades fight against each other, and the first to break is the early Liangzhou version of the ring-head knife.

And even the early Liangzhou version of the ring head knife, in the face of the blades made by the current scattered folk iron-smelting process, it is also a crushing bureau.

The iron-smelting process controlled by Liu Bei's group is an absolute taboo, and the secrecy law is prepared for this, and over the years, a large number of excellent craftsmen have invested in Liu Bei's arms and produced more and more high-quality iron products for him, including blades, of course.

According to the information sent back from the front, whether it was Zhao Zhao, Liu Sheng or Xu Huang, they all said that it was relatively easy to suppress the rebellion of those conservative remnants.

In terms of armor and armor, they are far inferior, in terms of ring swords, they are far inferior, in terms of bows and arrows and crossbow arrows, they are also far inferior, and the Han army can often play a crushing game against them.

Even in the back, the officers and soldiers of the Han army said that it was quite boring, and they didn't know if there was a stronger enemy who could make them happy.

In particular, the veterans of the main army assigned to the local garrison said that even the recruits of the new army that had just been formed not long ago could beat those rebels out of the urine according to the simple and old-fashioned military formation knowledge and queue knowledge learned in the training camp.

Those rebels are simply street fighting gangsters, and occasionally they can encounter one or two hundred private soldiers of large families with certain queue skills, but the number of such private soldiers will basically not exceed two hundred, and the maximum is only four hundred.

The veterans were in high spirits, and as a result, they were beaten by the other party in a quarter of an hour.

It's not fun to bulldoze the other party's manor.

An opponent that can be defeated by recruits, the skills that we veterans have honed from the battlefield are useless!
