Chapter 62: The Great Purge
"See the lord, I don't know what the lord is waiting for me?" Chen Gui took the lead in asking, relying on his age. The old age means that the qualification is old. Chen Gui is indeed a senior official in Xuzhou.
Whether in the officialdom or in the family, he is a well-deserved leader. Now the entire family in Xuzhou feels that they have been suppressed by Feng Ye, so they naturally look for the respected Chen Gui to come forward.
In fact, Chen Gui didn't want to come out of this, but the problem now is that their Chen family is the largest family in Xuzhou, and now Feng Ye's policy, their Chen family is the most damaged.
"The reason why I asked a few to come over is because Xuzhou is a bit messy now, and I am going to clean it up. It's just that I attach more importance to the talents of a few people, and I hope that a few of them will not get involved in the turmoil. Feng Ye said directly.
Feng Ye's words made the faces of the four people below look like ashes. Feng Ye's words are very clear, he is already planning to carry out a major purge of Xuzhou. After a round of purging, how many families in Xuzhou can be left?
Feng Ye's style, these high-level leaders all know something, starting from Liaodong, to ruling Youzhou, and then to seizing Jizhou. This road is completely the number of ways for those who follow me to prosper and those who oppose me to perish.
Since the last time Feng Ye came to Xuzhou, they had already begun to collect news about Feng Ye. Including the policies implemented by Feng Ye in Youzhou, as well as the policies implemented after the capture of Jizhou.
When Tao Qian wanted to dedicate Xuzhou to Feng Ye, they didn't say anything, because they knew that when Feng Ye really planned to seize Xuzhou, they couldn't hold Xuzhou.
As for the mutiny of Cao Bao and Zhang Min, two fools, in the eyes of Chen Gui's father and son, it is like a child's joke. Even if Tao Qian didn't find out and stop them.
Relying on those two fools, they couldn't stop the army under Feng Ye's command at all.
Their original plan was to surrender and slowly persuade Feng Ye, so that Feng Ye would know that the scholar clan was the foundation of the world again. But he didn't expect Feng Ye to forcefully implement the law of Youzhou as soon as he came over.
Now he told them directly that he was ready for a big purge. They knew very well that as long as Feng Ye made a move, these scholars in Xuzhou would be completely late.
That's why they don't want to join those who are preparing for armed struggle. With the little strength that the Xuzhou Shi clan mastered, fighting with the elite cavalry of Youzhou under Feng Ye's command, it was really a mantis arm as a car.
"Lord, the old man wants to go back and persuade them, they are just ignorant and fearless, and I hope that the lord will give them a chance. Chen Gui said depressedly.
Feng Ye shook his head and said, "No need, these people, there is no need to stay, the reason why I invited a few people to come over today is because I cherish the talents of a few people, and I hope that a few people will not go astray." ”
"My lord, once those big families unite, they still have some strength, even if they are not the opponents of the elite soldiers under the lord's command, the war is together, I am afraid that Xuzhou will also be ruined.
In case other princes intervene at that time, the prosperity of Xuzhou will be completely gone. Mi Zhu persuaded from the perspective of pros and cons.
Under my rule, in less than five years, Xuzhou will be ten times more prosperous than it is now!
Youzhou is a ready-made example, and it turns out that without these families, the market will only be more prosperous. Ordinary people will live better. Feng Ye said confidently.
In Feng Ye's eyes, these landlords and powerful families are all cancers of society.
The strength in their hands is too strong, and if one is not satisfied, they can support tens of thousands of troops to rebel. If they are not eradicated completely, the cancer will grow bigger and bigger. If you want to clear it at that time, you will need to pay a greater price. It's better to cut off the root this time.
"Bang dang" Mi Fang, who was young and vigorous, flipped over the table in front of him, got up and shouted: "Zhuzi'an dares to bully me No one in Xuzhou?
Mi Zhu couldn't imagine that his younger brother was so impulsive, and he didn't hold back, Mi Fang had already rushed towards Feng Ye. Mi Fang felt that as long as she could capture Feng Ye, she could force Feng Ye to revoke those chaotic policies.
In that way, he will become a hero of Xuzhou in the future, and see who dares to underestimate him and say that he is a businessman. At a young age, as soon as his blood is in his head, he can't care about the consequences in his eyes anymore.
Seeing Mi Fang rushing up, Feng Ye just smiled contemptuously, with such a little strength, he dared to make an axe in front of him, it was simply a joke. Feng Ye got up and raised his hand to stop the guards who wanted to make a move, calmly, and kicked Mi Fang's face who was rushing over.
looked at Mi Fang's face with shoe prints and nosebleeds. Feng Ye stepped down and stepped on Mi Fang's chest, who wanted to stand up again. No matter how much the other party struggled, he never got up from the ground.
"Lord, spare your life, Lord. Zifang was just young and ignorant, and asked the lord to spare his life. Mi Zhu hurriedly got up, knelt on his knees, and kept kowtowing to Feng Ye and begging for mercy.
Feng Ye just smiled and didn't speak, being young and ignorant was not a reason to make a mistake. Especially dare to shoot at him.
Although he values Mi Zhu's ability to do business, to be honest, he doesn't attach much importance to it, and it's good to be able to use it, and it's nothing if he can't use it. There are people in the world who can do business, and they are not bad for Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu can make the family business so big, it must have some ability. Seeing that Feng Ye didn't speak, he immediately understood what Feng Ye meant.
Mi Zhu's brain is spinning very much, the current situation, Mi Fang attacked Feng Ye, and Feng Ye was planning to carry out a purge in Xuzhou, maybe the Mi family would also be implicated.
Mi Zhu really has no shortage of decisions, and immediately said: "Lord, our Mi family is willing to take out all the assets to give to the lord, and please open the main public network and spare the son!"
"Yes, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Take him out and whip him twenty lashes. But you should keep your family property for yourself, and I am not the kind of person who robs my subordinates' property.
If it spreads, it will also hinder my reputation. And what I value is your talent, not your possessions. Feng Ye ordered.
"Thank you, thank you for your magnanimity. Mi Zhu kowtowed gratefully and said, not only because Feng Ye let Mi Fang go, but also because Feng Ye showed the importance he attached to him.
The Mi family is not a scholar, but a businessman, in the Han Dynasty, it is not so easy to become a scholar, and even if he is a scholar, he will be looked down upon by his colleagues.
Now that Feng Ye has shown that he values his talents, and has forgiven Mi Fang's offense because of this, how can he not make Mi Zhu's heart very excited? He felt that it was right to follow Feng Ye, this was their chance for the Mi family to turn over.
Mi Fang is just an insignificant little person to Feng Ye, and in Feng Ye's eyes, Mi Fang's life is worthless. Since this waste is so valuable in Mi Zhu's eyes, it's better to give it to him.
If it can be exchanged for Mi Zhu's loyalty, then for Feng Ye, it will be considered earned.
Chen's father and son had been watching from the side, and when they saw Feng Ye's understatement, they completely subdued Mi Zhu, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.
"Lord, is there really no chance to ease?" Chen Deng, who had not spoken since entering the door, said in a deep voice.
"There is no way of good or evil, but man calls himself. They brought it all upon themselves. Feng Ye said strongly. He was waiting for the father and son's statement, if the father and son really couldn't see the situation clearly and wanted to oppose him, then he would not show mercy to these two people.
"Okay, go back and think about it, this choice is very important, once you choose the wrong one, it will cause the whole family to suffer. Feng Ye didn't bother to persuade either, and waved his hand, signaling that they could go out.
As for the choice of the Chen family's father and son, Feng Ye was not in a hurry to know, as far as these landlords and powerful tenants and families in Xuzhou were concerned, even if they had money, they could fully arm these people.
Without the leadership of a general, no matter how well equipped these people are, no matter how many people there are, they are just a rabble. It is just right to give Zang Ba a chance to stand up. After this battle, Xuzhou was completely pacified.
Just when the wind was surging in Xuzhou, something happened in Chang'an, and Wang Yun's old thing finally succeeded in sowing discord, which made Lu Bu have murderous intentions towards Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and strong, and with Lu Bu, a fierce general like the world's first, he is simply invincible. In Wang Yun's view, there is simply no one in the world who can govern it.
And the relationship between Lu Bu and the generals under Dong Zhuo is very bad. Lu Bu is arrogant, holding the idea that anyone who can't beat me is rubbish, and he looks down on the original Xiliang generals under Dong Zhuo's command at all.
On the other hand, the generals of Xiliang also felt that although Lu Bu was strong in martial arts, his character was not good, he killed his father-in-law Ding Yuan, turned his head and worshiped Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, he was a two-faced villain, and he also liked to recognize his father, which was extremely shameless.
Wang Yun only passed on a few words, and the relationship between Lu Bu and the generals of Xiliang under Dong Zhuo was completely tense. There were even several clashes between the two sides. But they were all suppressed by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo has no good way, on the one hand, he is the godson who is the number one in the world in terms of force, and on the other hand, he is an old subordinate who follows his birth and death. Only options and dilute mud.
This harmony made both sides feel that Dong Zhuo was biased towards the other party. The other Xiliang generals were fine, but Lu Bu felt that he couldn't bear it. simply united with Wang Yun and other courtiers to kill Dong Zhuo.
Chang'an's side is completely fighting. Under the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo, the generals of Xiliang united to attack Lu Bu. There are only 30,000 people under Lu Bu's command, and they are all wolf riders in Bingzhou, and they are not good at defending cities.
In the face of the attack of 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, even with Lu Bu's bravery, he could only be driven out of Chang'an.
At this time, Cao Cao also saw the benefits of Feng Ye's abandonment of the family, and he also began to attack some of the families under his command, and also launched a meritocracy initiative.
For a while, the family under his command also complained a lot about him.
