Chapter 497: Killing chickens and monkeys is a must
Although the Taiyuan Wang clan is very famous in Bingzhou, it has not yet reached the largest power when the five surnames and seven sects were later established.
The Taiyuan Wang clan was developed in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and now in the Taiyuan royal family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the size is still very large, it is not difficult for Liu Jian to grasp them.
Taiyuan is the capital of the state, and if Taiyuan is clean and stopped, the other states and counties of the state will be easy to deal with.
However, if he did it to the Taiyuan Wang family for no reason, it would inevitably seem that Liu Jian was a little too domineering, and it was easy to affect his virtuous name.
Liu Jian has a purpose in doing things, that is, although I want to clean you up, I also have to clean it up.
If I clean you up, I'll clean it up.
Otherwise, it won't be happy to clean up!
You have to be beaten up, and you have to admit your mistakes, it's that simple.
In fact, it is easy to force these people to comply.
That is, with Taiyuan as the center, the original household registration verification system in Jizhou, the Dutian Law, and the Tuntian system will be implemented in all parts of the prefecture, and the new imperial examination policy will be fully popularized throughout the prefecture...... For these nobles, each of these systems touches on their sore spots.
Each of these policies touches the fundamental interests of the highest nobles!
For these people in the most prestigious clans, everything Liu Jian is doing now, just taking out one can make them angry, not to mention that he is doing these things in Bingzhou at the same time.
When he ruled Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, he wasn't so arrogant, right?
These policies were promulgated one by one back then!
Isn't this a bit too much to take them and the local nobles of the state seriously?
Look down on us and the people of the border counties, don't you?
Okay, then you look down on us, we will let your surname Liu know that we are powerful.
What General Fuyuan, I'm phew!
The biggest and strongest local influence in Taiyuan is naturally the Taiyuan Wang family, and although these policies set up by Liu Jian have a greater or lesser impact on each family, the most affected is naturally the Taiyuan Wang family.
Today's Wang Yun is ranked Jiuqing in the court, and the Taiyuan Wang family can be said to be working towards a stage of striving for progress.
They were about to step to the highest step, but at this time, they were forcibly blocked by Liu Jian.
Think about it, how could the people of the Taiyuan Wang clan be willing?
As a result, the important figures in the Taiyuan family began to secretly unite to resist Liu Jian's ruling in Taiyuan.
In the face of Liu Jian, who has strong military strength, they dare not confront him head-on, so they can only make harm in secret.
These big families acted as the masterminds behind the scenes, infiltrating the small and medium-sized families below, so that the small families in the state unanimously resisted Liu Jian's policies and did not let Liu Jian's policies be implemented to the end.
The world is still very chaotic, and they don't believe that Liu Jian will always spend his time on merging states.
He saw that the policy of annexing the states was really difficult to implement, and it was likely that it would eventually be overcome.
But Taiyuan Wang and others thought about things a little simply.
These families will infiltrate the power of small and medium-sized families in order to resist the various policies of the government to govern the state, which Liu Jian has long expected.
The more they did this, the happier Liu Jian became.
Because only in this way can Liu Jian clean them up at the last moment, knock on all the small and medium-sized families that have been infiltrated by them, and achieve the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Sure enough, the implementation of local policies is very difficult.
The downward implementation of many policies has been greatly hindered, and the new government office team set up by Liu Jian is quite difficult to move forward in the counties of Bingzhou.
But it was at this time that Liu Jian began to make moves, and he asked Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others to lead the military to conduct a thorough investigation in Bingzhou.
Strictly investigate who has hindered the implementation of his policies in the state.
The direct use of the military to interfere in local government affairs and thoroughly investigate local families has not happened unheard of in the history of the Han Dynasty, but the number of occurrences is not very many.
Because the military is used to directly confront local wealthy families, this is to some extent a means of tearing the face and a way to take chaos.
As far as the local ruling chiefs are concerned, they generally do not want to tear up their faces with the local families, because they need the support of the local families to continue to work in one county, one county or one state.
But Liu Jian has no such scruples.
His strength has far surpassed that of normal local officials.
To put it mildly, when it comes to the overall comprehensive strength, the emperor of the Han Dynasty and Xiangguo may not be able to compare with him.
If Dong Zhuo is the power of the world, then the Fuyuan general Liu Deran is the power of the world.
Liu Jian's orders to his generals were simple.
Examine! Check hard!
Find out all the families who hinder the implementation of their policies at the source, and don't care about face at all.
In this regard, Zhang Fei and others are still very obedient.
So they began to investigate thoroughly!
In the end, under the guidance of Liu Jian, those behind the scenes who secretly pulled the strings behind the scenes, prompting the large, medium and small families in Bingzhou to vigorously resist Liu Jian's various policies surfaced.
The five major families headed by the Taiyuan Wang family were pulled out by Liu Jian.
At first, these families didn't expect that Liu Jian would really use military force and all the means of investigation to investigate this matter so hard, is he really not afraid of tearing his face with himself?
But it turns out that Liu Jian is indeed not afraid.
After finding the strategy of the five major families led by the Taiyuan Wang family to secretly resist the imperial court, Liu Jian immediately sent someone to report the matter to the imperial court center, and he himself acted against the five major families.
Yes, in the local area of Bingzhou, the five major families do have a lot of fields and a lot of apprentices.
And the young men in these apprentices have also been trained by them over the years to be used to defend the Dock Fort army at any time.
Although these armies seem to be very powerful, very large in number, and very well supplied, that is also a comparison of whom.
In front of Liu Jian's regular army, they did nothing.
General Fuyuan, who was in charge of external affairs, now sent troops to conscript and suppress the Wubao of the five major families headed by the Taiyuan Wang clan in Bingzhou on the charge of forcibly colluding with foreign clans, posing a threat to the internal and internal affairs of the Han Dynasty, and seriously endangering the survival of the people in the north.
The five major families really didn't expect that Liu Jian would list such a big crime against them, and this general would be so arbitrary, saying that he would beat them.
If ordinary local county guards dared to attack their dock fort with soldiers and horses, these big families dared to guarantee that they could keep the enemy soldiers out of the dock fort with the strength of their apprentices, and even beat the opponent to lose their armor and flee in embarrassment.
But now, they are facing Liu Jian's elite soldiers.
In May of the second year of Xingping, Liu Jian's army began to attack the largest dock fort owned by the five noble clans in Bingzhou under the charge of clearing out the thieves and thieves in the civil strife.
The fist represents the last word, and Liu Jian is also justified now, after a thorough investigation, he does have the evidence of these Wang clan's resistance policies in his hands.
In the territory of Bingzhou, if you dare to go against the policy of General Fuyuan, that is, to fornicate with foreigners.
On behalf of the country, on behalf of justice, on behalf of the people, you must be eliminated.
According to a thorough investigation in advance, there were as many as thirteen dock forts in the central forces of these five noble clans, and these thirteen dock forts were as heavily defended as a small city pass.
But for Liu Jian, none of this is a problem.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xia Houlan, Jiang Qi, Han Dang, Lv Weihuang...... Each of them had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and carried large siege machinery such as catapults and rushing trucks developed by the Jizhou Development Technology Agency to fight these dock forts.
The battle didn't last long, because even if there were many apprentices in the dock forts of these big families, for these low-level apprentices, Liu Jian was their light of hope.
The reason why they became the hidden people of the big families was only because the land was annexed and they could not pay the poll tax.
Under the oppression of these big tycoons, their lives are not satisfactory, and it can even be said that it is very difficult, but they are helpless to barely live.
Liu Jian treats ordinary people well, and these people are not unaware.
Therefore, how could they really help these powerful people who oppressed them to resist Liu Jian's army?
But ten days...... Thirteen dock forts were all taken by Liu Jian.
This is simply a record of the Han Dynasty.
The dock forts of each family were opened, the grain inside was confiscated by Liu Jian's army, and their hidden apprentices were excavated by the Hebei army, and the household registration was re-established, becoming good citizens of the Han Dynasty.
And the main clan figures of each family were captured alive by Liu Jiansheng!
Liu Jian made the crimes of the five major families public, and also listed the "evidence" that was found from them after breaking through their fort.
Then, Liu Jian ordered that anyone could report the evidence of the five major families committing crimes in the state over the years.
Since it has become a county-level family, it is basically impossible to be clean, and everyone in the world is the same...... Including Liu Jian and Liu Bei are the same.
Clean people can't go to the top.
Soon, the various illegal incidents that the five major families have done in Bingzhou over the years were presented to Liu Jian like snowflakes, and there are still many corroborative evidence left by people with good intentions.
Liu Jian reported these matters to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he took down all the clansmen of the five major families and sent them to the border mines in Youzhou as miner slaves.
Send all the people of the county wang clan to the frontier to fill the slaves.
This incident immediately caused an uproar throughout the state.
All the families in Bingzhou were frightened by Liu Jian's powerful military ability and resolute methods.
Even the most powerful five families were so vulnerable, and they were wiped out in an instant in front of Liu Jian, and how could the remaining families in the state be Liu Jian's opponents.
And Wang Yun in the court was also shocked after learning about this incident, and he didn't know what to do.
He never thought that Liu Jian would dare to attack his family in order to rule and merge the state.
Although Wang Yun is Jiuqing's body, he has nothing to do with Liu Jian now.
The entire family of his family is let people take it, which means that he has no reserve force in the court.
Moreover, Liu Jian has not killed all the people of the Taiyuan Wang family, but sent them to Youzhou, from another point of view, the people of the Taiyuan Wang family have now become hostages in the hands of Liu Jian.
It's beyond imagination.
