Wang Che looked at the secret guard in his hand, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Shameless, aren't these people a little different?"

"With only money in his eyes, he has no shame, he is simply a bunch of worms!"

"How can a swarm of insects rule the world?"

"Your Majesty is angry!" Several ministers around persuaded one after another.

Wang Che vented the anger in his heart, "The southwest barbarians are in turmoil, and there are local powerful officials and nobles colluding with them, what good plan do you have?" ”

"Your Majesty, the barbarians in the southwest are not to be afraid, please levy and send a large army from Guanzhong to Shu to quell the rebellion."

"Although Your Majesty's general Ma Heng lost the first battle, he is the only one in the court who is familiar with the southwest and is proficient in military affairs, and I ask Your Majesty to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions!" Zhu Qi, the general of Jinling Zhennan, said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests a truce for the time being, although the southwest barbarians are strong, but it is just a disease of scabies, if they dare to enter the plains, our army will definitely turn into a local chicken and tile dog, you can first deal with those officials, nobles and heroes, and then go to the southwest barbarians to fight after the completion of the place." Minister Jia Jun said.

Everyone suggested one after another, and Wang Che also calmed down. Through the secret guard's recital, Wang Che has already understood the situation of the Southwest Barbarians, where the environment is harsh, and if he wants to solve the Southwest Barbarians in a short time, he is willing to use the family's Heavenly Mandate Artifact.

Wang Che weighed one or two, and then ordered: "Ma Heng's battle was unfavorable, so that the army was defeated, and Ma Heng was dismissed from the post of general of Zhengnan, but he was loyal to his duties and familiar with the situation in the southwest, so he ordered him to temporarily take the position of general of Zhengnan, responsible for holding the counties in the southwest, and stabilizing the place to wait for the time." ”

"The edict ordered Xue Chao, the imperial historian, and Deng Sheng, the commander of the embroidered clothes, to go to Bashu, be responsible for disposing of the Bashujing salt and salt field, and take down all the insects that dare to eat inside and out!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

After Wang Che's edict was issued, the imperial court immediately began to implement it.

A large number of horsemen galloped out of Jinling City, and then quickly headed towards Bashu.

After Ma Heng received the holy decree, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this time he underestimated the enemy and caused a lot of losses to the army, fortunately the saint did not blame, and gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so that he could continue to command the army and deal with the southwest barbarians.

The imperial court has already requisitioned a large army to come, and now it only needs to hold on. If he entered the mountains and forests to fight those southwestern barbarians, he was not sure of victory at this time, but if those southwestern barbarians dared to come out of the mountains and forests, he was ten percent sure of defeating these people.

Ma Heng set up beacon towers at the mountain passes, and once a barbarian came out of the mountain and attacked the prefectures, counties, and counties, these beacons would be lit, and Ma Heng would be able to support them in time.

At the same time, more than 500 horsemen and 3,000 light horsemen came to follow the decree. As soon as these horsemen arrived in Bazhong, they began to move, and the nearby prefectures and counties were quickly controlled.

Just when those nobles, officials, and local tycoons were still thinking about how to bargain with the imperial court, they found that the imperial court had no intention of talking to them at all.

When Ti Cai arrived, he immediately led the soldiers to surround the mansions of officials, heroes, and nobles, and then arrest them. Although these people are the head snakes of the earth, but the Daqian court is in full swing at this time, and they are powerless to fight at all.

One after another nobles, heroes, and officials were broken into the door, and then arrested, and some who were unwilling to be caught took up arms one after another, wanting to resist.

As a result, how will the servants of these people be able to compare with the soldiers who are armed to the teeth? Even if some nobles and wealthy families secretly hid their armor, they were only dying in the face of the Daqian army.

In the face of the crossbow arrows of the imperial court, there was no resistance at all, and soon all the rebels were killed.

The power of the court's fury made everyone tremble, and those nobles, heroes, and nobles only found out at this time that the power they relied on was nothing more than a mantis arm in front of the court.

Dozens of powerful people, nobles, and officials were all uprooted. Xue Chao, the imperial historian, and Deng Sheng, the commander of the embroidered clothes, directly began the trial of these people.

Although most of the evidence was destroyed, this time the court was quelling.

This time, Wang Che specially ordered the torture of those main culprits to be torn apart. At the same time, all accomplices were reduced to slaves, and then sent to Fusang, Western Regions, and Liaodong.

In the past, the imperial court killed the first evildoer, and then the accomplice was exiled to the frontier, although the punishment was also severe, but these exiled frontier people still had a chance to rise again.

Exile on the frontier is a great punishment, but these people are still free, and with some support from their old friends, they can also gain a foothold in the frontier and then grow stronger.

And because most of these people have studied or studied in their families, they have more advantages than ordinary people, and they have more opportunities to rise again.

But this time the court directly demoted these people to slavery, and then went into exile. Even on the frontier, these people are still official slaves. Officials and slaves can only work for the imperial court, and they don't even have personal freedom.

If you want to rise again, it can be said that it is as difficult as the sky.

If you want to get rid of slavery, there are only two ways, one is to pardon the local princes and vassal kings, and the other is to join the army and make war achievements. But neither of these conditions is so easy to achieve.

The vassal kings are all members of the royal family, and even the brothers of the emperor of the dynasty, and they want to be pardoned, unless you are really talented. But how many of them have been exiled here? If there is really a talent, the imperial court will also pardon it as appropriate.

As for joining the army and making war achievements, this is not difficult. According to the rules of the imperial court, slaves can only join the sin camp, and the sin camp is cannon fodder every time they go to war, and if they want to get rid of their slave status, they need to be beheaded at three levels to pardon the slave status.

Then you can leave the sin camp and become an ordinary soldier by beheading one level.

The camp was full of people who had committed the most crimes, and the court incorporated these people into it for the sake of waste utilization, and there was only leather armor in the camp of the crime, no bows, arrows, crossbows, and arrows, and the weapon was also a horizontal knife or spear. In every battle, you must go forward bravely, be a deserter and be beheaded directly.

It was very difficult to survive in a prison camp and escape slavery. The survival rate of the sin camp in each major battle is not even half. If you want to leave or leave the camp of sin, there may not be one in a hundred.

The imperial court was ruthless this time, and directly turned the exile into slaves and exile, and used these people as consumables to open up the frontier.

In many counties in the southwest, a large number of nobles, heroes, and officials were purged, and more than 100,000 people were sentenced to exile. Originally, the population of the southwest county was not large, and after this cleanup, even many county towns were half empty.

Wang Che didn't leave his hand at all this time, according to his meaning, these people have no difference between Huayi at all, they don't have a family and a country, they only care about their own interests, they will only be tumors in the border land, grass on the wall. Like insects, how can relying on these insects open up the summers?
