814 The rising sun of the Third Reich is slowly rising
In addition to these things, there are some things that make Liu Bei feel very speechless.
A certain heir to the title of Marquis of a close branch lost his fertility because of illness, and he didn't want to lose his title inheritance, and he didn't want to give up his ancestral business to outsiders, so he privately begged his younger brother and his wife to work hard and have a child, so that they could inherit the title.
And then it happened.
The younger brother of the liege cooperated with his wife, and it was really successful, the child was on the ground, the heir's problem was solved, and there was no need to worry about losing the title and financial interests.
But this matter is still an open secret in the family of the Marquis of the near branch, and almost everyone knows it, but no one says anything about it, for fear of piercing the layer of window paper.
Originally, this matter ended here, but his younger brother was still obsessed with his sister-in-law's beauty after contributing genetics, and tried to renew his relationship with his sister-in-law many times.
As a result, he was disgusted by his sister-in-law, resisted many times, and dealt with him, but he was worried that his husband would know about it and suspect that he was not abiding by women's morals, so he didn't dare to say it, but this only fueled the arrogance of his younger brother.
Later, there was a big disturbance between them, and the prince knew about it, so he almost didn't beat his brother to death.
This incident began to spread out of the mansion and spread around the neighborhood as a joke.
One by one, Liu Bei covered his eyes and sighed again and again, deeply feeling the charm of biodiversity, and deeply angry for this group of insects raised by the country.
"Spending so many taxes to raise so much waste and human residue, and those who work diligently for the country do not get any rewards and help, how can the national power of the Han Dynasty not be declining for so long?"
"The reason for the decline of the country is that hard-working and hard-working people are not treated correctly, which chills the hearts of the people all over the world! The people of the world are cold, if there is an enemy invasion, will I resist the enemy myself?! ”
So Liu Bei ordered to increase the punishment of the Han clan group and its vassal groups, and the sentencing was severe but not lenient, and he would never be exiled if he could be executed, and he would not be imprisoned if he could be exiled.
By the beginning of October of the first year of Zhenguan, of the nineteen kings who were supervised and arrested, only one of the king of the East China Sea was considered to be barely innocent.
This is because he has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he has been sick since he ascended the throne, basically a medicine jar, his family is busy taking care of him, and he and his wife are doing everything possible to give birth to offspring to inherit the title, and the whole family has no time to do bad things, so because of such "innocence" and preserved himself and his family.
I have to say that this is a ridiculous and hilarious fact.
So the king of the East China Sea was demoted to the marquis of Sihui County, Nanhai County, and he would lead his family to Sihui County to be sealed, and he would not be allowed to return to the Central Plains without a call.
Three of the remaining kings were dethroned, deprived of all property, and exiled to the state.
Seven people who were deposed as concubines, lost their qualifications with the surname Liu, all changed their surnames, expelled from the clan, and then exiled to remote prefectures and counties to become households in the reclamation, and were not allowed to return to the Central Plains from then on.
The remaining eight crimes were not very heavy, so after the trial, all of them were demoted to Pavilion Marquis, and were arranged to Gaoliang County and Linyun County in Hepu County to be sealed, which was essentially a reclamation household with the title of Pavilion Marquis.
Because there is no local population, and there is no tax to feed them, if they do not cultivate their own fields, they will not be able to support a large family if they only rely on the little help of the imperial court.
Of course, because the starting point of the sect kings is relatively high, the end is relatively clear.
A considerable part of those close branch clans are pavilion marquis, village marquis, the starting point is not high, and the crime is particularly serious, so it is natural that the thirteen close branch clans were executed for various crimes.
In addition to those who were executed, almost half of them lost their qualifications with the surname Liu, were deposed as concubines, and were sent to Jiuzhen County and Rinan County to cultivate farmland, and were not allowed to return to the Central Plains.
The remaining lucky ones who are not very responsible for the crime are still a few who have been sealed to Yulin County and Cangwu County with the titles of Pavilion Marquis and Township Marquis, who are nominally nobles, but in essence they are also tunken households with the title of knighthood.
There are also some who are simply only arranged to Jiaozhou with a lower grade of the Marquis of Guannei, they can't talk about any fiefs or anything like that, Liu Bei gave them a little discount, gave them a little living expenses every year, and drove them to Jiaozhou.
The good days are over, and the kindness left to you by your ancestors is also over, how to live next, how to survive, that is your own business, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court anymore.
No, it's still a little related.
Although there are tax holidays and taxes are low, it is ......
You'll have to pay my taxes too!
In the end, Liu Bei jointly promulgated the new "Han Family Clan Law" in the name of Liu Yu, the great sect and the three divisions, which announced that he would rely on the levy of taxes from the high-level Han clan relatives to subsidize the lives of the poor Han clan groups, most of which were related to the law.
What crimes need to be demoted, what crimes need to be exiled, what crimes can be removed, beheaded, etc., clarify the principle of all punishments and rewards for the Han clan groups within the scope of the law, and urge the Han clan groups to have a positive role in the country, not a negative role.
The only thing that can be called humane in this law is probably Liu Bei's previous decision, the taxation of wealthy Han clan relatives will be concentrated and put into a Han clan support foundation, and the poor Han clan relatives who cannot eat will be given a minimum of assistance.
That is, not to the extent that they will not starve to death, in addition, nothing will be provided, whether it is a way to enter the government or a way to make money, there is no one, just the help within the Han clan group to ensure that you do not starve to death.
The promulgation of this law means that Liu Bei's disposition of the Han clan group belongs to a state with laws to follow, and it is a state of fairness, rather than favoritism, communiqué and personal vendettas, etc., it is entirely because the other party has made a mistake and there is irrefutable ironclad evidence, so they are dealt with according to the law.
This is a righteous and bright murderous heart, which obviously wiped out all the clan groups of the Second Empire, but it did not cause any serious backlash, but it was very popular.
Subsequently, in addition to once again confirming the identity and status of Liu Xie's county marquis, Liu Bei announced the decision to be knighted three times.
That is, the commander of the East Garden was changed to make Liu Hui the marquis of Liwu County, with 6,000 households.
Liu Sheng, the head of the Xishu Military Region and the lieutenant general of the Shence Army, was renamed the Marquis of Anping County, with 8,000 households.
Liu Yong, the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, was the marquis of Raoyang County, with 7,000 households.
The newly canonized county marquis, like Liu Xie's county marquis, were similar to the county marquis of the Second Empire, and could only eat taxes and did not have any power to interfere in local administration.
Originally, Liu Bei also planned to give Liu Bo a marquis, as the only knighthood for the only person in the family since he ascended the throne, which can be regarded as a little comfort to the family, although he really doesn't have any feelings for other family members.
But Liu Bo refused.
He said that he did not make a big contribution to Liu Bei's career, had no military merits, and had no convincing reasons.
And Liu Hui is his son, and his son was crowned a marquis, which means that his old father also has glory, and he is very satisfied, so he rejected Liu Bei's marquis.
Liu Bei complied with his request and did not forcibly make him a marquis, but just gave him a lot of money and gifts to express his gratitude.
And those who are interested have also noticed that Liu Bei's wave of feudal actions against the three own clans is not simple.
Liwu County, Anping County, and Raoyang County surround the same place - Liu Xie's fiefdom, Anguo County.
Liu Xie is the Marquis of Anguo County, and in this Dutian Rebellion, Liu Zhong tried to lead his so-called loyal army north to Anguo County to find Liu Xie, and re-enthroned Liu Xie as emperor, thus setting off his counterattack on Liu Bei.
So this time, people think that Liu Bei's division is meaningful.
In addition to increasing the clan strength of Liu Bei's own clan, it is also to let the fiefdoms of the three close branch princes of his clan surround Liu Xie's fiefdom, block Liu Xie in Anguo County, and let anyone who wants to do something to Liu Xie must take into account the three close branch princes of Liu Bei's clan who surround him.
This time, the results of people's speculation were similar to what Liu Bei thought.
He just wanted his own people to surround Liu Xie's fief, just like when the Zong and Zhou clans divided the princes, it was the same meaning to let a large number of Ji family clan princes surround the Song State in it.
However, this matter can also be considered from a different angle.
Liu Zhong's desire to restore Liu Xie not only threatened Liu Bei's throne, but also seriously threatened Liu Xie's life in fact, if Liu Xie was really coerced by Liu Zhong to restore, then whether he wanted to or not, he was the emperor of restoration, and in fact challenged Liu Bei's throne, from a Zen emperor to a hostile emperor.
At that time, even if Liu Bei still wants to spare his life, there will be many, many people who want Liu Xie to die, so many that Liu Bei can't deal with it, so Liu Bei's idea of saving Liu Xie's life will not be realized.
In the final analysis, Liu Bei is not a pure villain, he wants Liu Xie to live, and even Liu Wei, who is actually quite innocent, Liu Bei also wants him to live.
Therefore, after Liu Xie was sealed, Liu Bei sent someone to secretly send Liu Wei, who was under house arrest, to Liu Xie's fiefdom to reunite their brothers, and it is said that Liu Xie was very moved by this and knelt down several times in the direction of Liu Bei to thank Liu Bei for his kindness in reuniting their brothers.
This pair of hard-working brothers who depend on each other can be regarded as escaping the curse of life and death in their previous lives, and successfully follow Liu Hong's last wish to live well in Anguo County.
Liu Bei's disposition of the Han clan group came to an end, the clans of the Second Empire were wiped out, and the clans of the Third Empire had not yet grown up.
Since he is so fierce to the Han clan group, of course Liu Bei will not have any mercy on the other rebels.
From May of the first year of Zhenguan to September of the first year of Zhenguan, in four months, more than 100 rebel armies appeared in all major states of the world, under various banners.
The big banner is like Liu Zhong, the spearhead is directly aimed at Liu Bei, and the small banner is purely against the Dutian Order, but it has no intention of opposing Liu Bei's regime.
But in Liu Bei's view, the meaning of the two is almost the same, and if you want me to compromise, isn't it equivalent to asking for my life?
Can I compromise?
Liu Bei could have compromised at the beginning, but since the situation had reached this point, he actually had no qualifications and possibilities for compromise, he could only go one way to the dark, and on the other hand, his enemies would definitely die.
More than a hundred rebel armies are not as simple as more than a hundred families, but it means that dozens of times the families behind them are fighting against Liu Bei's policies, each rebel army is not pulled up by one family, but more than a dozen dozens of families are united, and thousands of families are fighting against Liu Bei and fighting against Liu Bei.
They are still weakened by the existence of strength, if they are not weakened, then Liu Bei should face ten or twenty times more than the intensity of confrontation, will face a much, much more severe situation than now, will be anxious, the army will also run around, extinguish the flames of rebellion everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter.
And in that case, Liu Yu and Liu Zhong will definitely get more than ten times the strength to support them, and the army they can pull up and the banner they can fight must also be more powerful, and even Liu Xie may really be coerced by them and become their banner to rebel against themselves.
At that time, it will be the second time that the world is in turmoil.
Liu Bei is confident that he will achieve the final victory, but the impact of the war will also destroy the achievements he has accumulated over the years, so that he will have to start from scratch after many years of hard work, instead of being as comfortable as now, allocate some money and food, and arrange some capable officials.
And the force that made him feel embarrassed was indeed the force that Liu Xiu faced back then, and even the force that Liu Xiu faced was even better, and because of this, Liu Bei realized that Liu Xiu was indeed very capable and capable of fighting.
Although power is not the only one, Liu Xiu withstood more than ten times Liu Bei's military pressure, but still pushed part of the Dutian policy, forcibly shared the cake with the world's heroes, seized a lot of power and Dutian's share, and forcibly extended the life of the Han Empire to this day.
Still, Liu Xiu was not an emperor who left a reputation for brutality in the history books, and his reputation and what he did were much softer than those who forced reforms.
Therefore, he can even be regarded as standing and earning money, but he doesn't earn so much, but he is really a very good and excellent emperor.
If Liu Bei is facing that situation, Liu Bei's choice is probably for everyone to do it, desperately to turn the world into ruins, and to give this group of insects to physical excess.
But despite this, it did not prevent Liu Bei from completely destroying everything he had built.
The Second Empire was over, the rising sun of the Third Empire was slowly rising, the Dutian Order was basically successful, and the resistance of the officials and Haoqiang failed, and they were all killed by Liu Bei.
This four-month desperate struggle wiped out thousands of families on the battlefield, but what followed was not calm, but a more intense aftermath of the fall.
All families that have some relationship with these families must be investigated, and anyone who has a secret possession of bows and crossbows and armor in the family but is not reported and is found will be regarded as a rebellion and will be immediately exterminated without mercy.
No matter how many people oppose it, no matter how many people resist, Liu Bei will never be merciful.
