Xiling controls the throat of the Yangtze River waterway. It is the dividing point between the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Whether it is politics, economy, or military, it is the most important point.

The Bu family has been deeply rooted in Xiling for 30 years. It was the local emperor of the entire Xiling. The Bu family accounts for more than 70% of the fields around Xiling. It has countless manors under its jurisdiction, and the population controlled by no less than 100,000.

For decades, the Bu family has been firmly in the position of governor of Xiling with the strong support of the entire family in the Eastern Wu court. After the fall of the family, they quickly hooked up with Puyang Xing and continued to maintain their control over Xiling. However, when Puyang Xing fell, the Bu family suddenly discovered that their family was becoming increasingly isolated and helpless in the political system of Dongwu...

At the beginning of the second year of Ganlu (265), the Eastern Wu court issued an order to strictly investigate the hidden population in various places and strictly implement relevant household tax regulations.

In March, the Wu family, which was based in Qiantang, Wujun, was shot first.

The founder of this family was Wu Jing, the uncle of Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers. In his early years, Sun Ce crossed the river to start a foundation, and Wu Jing helped him. He was one of the founding heroes of the Eastern Wu regime. Unfortunately, Wu Jing died early later. Two grandsons, one Wu An followed Lu Prince Sun Ba, and caused trouble for Sun He all day long. Later, when Sun Quan killed Sun Ba, he also cut him off. The other grandson Wu Yan was even worse. He finally escaped the struggle between the Southern Lu Party and survived Sun Quan. As a result, Sun Jun killed Teng Yin, and he was also cut off as Teng Yin's son-in-law. The Wu family declined and completely withdrew from the mainstream political arena of the Eastern Wu.

In any case, the Wu family was a founding hero of the Eastern Wu. After several generations of generations, it was a big family. A small percentage of the land in Qiantang County belonged to the Wu family. The current head of the Wu family is Wu Jia, the great-grandson of Wu Jing, and his official position is only a county magistrate. Tsk, the family is so rich and there is no strong power to protect it. Your father is still the King of Lu, who will you do if you don’t?

In March 265, the Secretary of State Reign Zhong Hui and the governor of Jiefan Shen Ying led the Jiefan army to attack Qiantang and conducted a thorough investigation of the Wu family's tenants, serfs and generals. The results were obtained more than ten days later as follows:

The Wu family in Qiantang reported his own land to the court before the incident, and the reported population was 13,000 mu. After careful investigation, the Wu family actually had more than 154,000 mu of land, 18 members of the family, and more than 3,900 other generals, disciples, kabuki, maids, and slaves. Relying on the land of the Wu family, there were more than 6,500 serfs who were not on the government's civil book. Total, more than 1,700 people. The total number of tax evasions in the past years has reached 1.7 billion!

Sun Hao ordered the Wu family to pay the tax and impose a corresponding fine.

Zhong Hui reported: The Wu family was unable to pay the relevant funds in full.

Sun Hao ordered: The house was raided and the Wu family was exiled to Guangzhou.

It should be said that when Sun Hao and Zhong Hui just started the operation of the Wu family, it caused dissatisfaction among the vast majority of families in the Eastern Wu: hiding the population and land, all the families in the Eastern Wu are doing this. The household tax has not been implemented seriously for a hundred years. You two bastards have a lot of things. What do you want to do?

Yes, the Wu family has declined and has nothing to do with us. But he is a member of our aristocratic family after all. Is your emperor choosing a weak chicken to kill us? Is it a test for us? See our reaction? If we don’t respond, will you really start checking household taxes on a large scale? OK! Then let’s take some reactions to show you, the emperor!

However, before the families of the Eastern Wu connected each other and attacked each other, Sun Hao's next move made everyone angry.

After getting the property of the Wu family, Sun Hao immediately transferred 10,000 acres nearby to the governor of Chen Ying. The reason was very simple: loyal to the king's affairs and loyal to the country. The property of the Shen family in Wuxing increased by more than 20% in an instant.

This is a very strong signal: First, the knife is in my hand, don’t jump, whoever jumps, kills whoever jumps. Second, obedient babies have candy to eat.

If Sun Hao's actions only temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of aristocratic families, then the misfortune of the next family will completely reassure most of the families in the Eastern Wu.

In May, another rich man in Qiantang County, his whole family was copied by Zhou Chu and others.

Back then, the whole family was in power over the Eastern Wu court because of Sun Luban. Unfortunately, after Sun Quan and Sun Jun's death, Sun Luban had no father to protect him and no adulterer to cover him. The whole family fell in a straight line in an instant. Some people were forced to surrender to the Wei State by Sun Qian, while others were killed by Sun Qian. Now, the prosperity of Zhong Ming and Ding Food in the past had gone far away. The whole family who stayed in Dongwu was left with only Quan Cong's youngest son Quan Wu lineage. Quan Wu is now just a minister. Facing the emperor's butcher knife, the whole family had no ability to resist.

After the whole family was confiscated, Zhou Chu also received 10,000 acres of land as a reward.

Then June was in, and Zhong Hui took action again and raided the Lu family.

The founder of the Lu family was Lu Dai. As a representative of the Huai and Si faction, Lu Dai's longevity was to continuously expand territory for the Eastern Wu (explore Fujian, poaching the three counties of Jingnan from Guan Yu, and establishing Jiaozhou at the bottom). Unfortunately, in the Southern Lu party struggle, he was also a supporter of the King of Lu.

The Lu family later became deeply rooted in Jiaozhou and was a super rich man in Jiaozhou. This time, Zhong Hui personally led a team to Jiaozhou to investigate the household tax of the Lu family, and the harvest was naturally great. When Zhong Hui returned to Jianye, Sun Hao immediately appointed Zhong Hui as the Marquis of Jieyang (the Marquis of County, whose fief is in today's Shantou).

At this point, the families of the Eastern Wu all thought they could feel the taste.

His Majesty the Emperor did not really want to check household taxes nationwide, but instead used the name of household taxes to clean up the remnants of the Lu Wang Party.

Therefore, we were princelings back then and could sleep peacefully.

No! Wait a minute, you can't sleep! The Wu family, the whole family and even the Lu family may have been rich back then, but now they have already declined. The taste of these families is like a waste. And among the remnants of the Lu King Party, the strongest, richest and most mouth-watering one is the Bu family in Xiling!

Haven't you seen the poor people who helped His Majesty to clean up the remnants of the Lu King Party have received great rewards! If we cooperate with the Fuxing Society in Western Shu, the Bu family, who have been rich for so many years?! This picture is so beautiful that I dare not think about it!

So, in late June of this year, the Eastern Wu families who thought they had seen the situation clearly raised a group of letters to impeach Bu Chan's various illegal acts, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to thoroughly investigate all the crimes of the Bu family.

It can be said that the history of Eastern Wu has changed profoundly since Guan Yi encouraged Zhong Hui to come to Sun Hao.

In the basic plane of history, although Sun Hao also relied on the princelings in the previous Nanlu Party struggles as the basic base and then cleaned up other forces. However, because his life experience was too sad when he was a child, he was strongly stimulated, and at the same time, there was no one around him who convinced him to guide him. Therefore, Sun Hao's purge of the Eastern Wu court seemed too impatient and cruel.

Due to excessive impatientness and cruelty, the Eastern Wu family, especially the Jiangdong clans, fought fiercely against it. Sun Hao once wanted to cooperate with Bu Chan (Jingzhou Gang) to suppress the Yangzhou Gang. In the realm of history, Sun Hao's brief migration of the capital to Wuchang is proof.

But now it is different. With Zhong Hui's guidance and help, and with the reform of Guan Yi in the past, Sun Hao's various political measures in Eastern Wu became more methods and skills. While gaining practical benefits, he did not over-stimulate the families of the Eastern Wu, especially the main families of Wu County and Kuaiji County. Therefore, at this time, Sun Hao did not need to use the Bu family in Jingzhou to suppress the families of Yangzhou.

Then, the Bu family was in a tragedy.

Although Mr. Bu is stupid, he is not a waste. The Wu family, the whole family, the Lu family... In the past, the comrades of the Lu Wang Party fell one by one. He knew very well who the next one was. As the only family in the remnants of the Lu Wang Party that had considerable strength in their hands, the Bu family was certainly unwilling to sit and wait for death.

The same thing, if you don’t give me a way out, I won’t give you a way out!

Since June of this year, Mr. Bu Er began to actively contact Chen Can of Fuling County: Tell your boss, do you want this Xiling pond? I will give it to you for free.

Chen Can, who is in charge of the old nest of the Fuxing Society, was no longer the silly and sweet thing he used to be back then. After receiving Bu Chan's letter, he immediately asked a key question: If you raise the banner of my Han in Xiling, you will inevitably be attacked by the Eastern Wu. Then my Han will send troops to help you rescue the siege, right? After the rescue, do you still hope to continue to be the governor of Xiling?

Bu Chan said, yes, I like to be the governor of Xiling. I will be loyal to the Han Dynasty and look forward to the Dongdamen for you. From then on, your Badong County has become the mainland. The Yong'an Legion can save the high military expenditure every year.

Chen Can immediately lost interest when he saw Bu Chan's attitude: Well, brother, for so many years, our Fuxing Society and your Bu family are happy to cooperate, you should send one of the sons to our great man - your emperor is a cruel man. Sooner or later, he will be the three tribes. In order for your Bu family to be defeated, you should prepare early.
