The rapid changes in the world's current situation are often dizzying. Even Fei Qian, a later generation, feels the danger and cruelty of the ups and downs.
In the Han Dynasty, although Guanzhong was not very stable, and it was not yet a leisurely state where you could pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and see the Nanshan Mountain leisurely, but it was normal to spend a day in a daze or hold a banquet. On the contrary,
Since the arrival of General Zhengxi, the rhythm has suddenly become a bit weird, especially for the nobles in the Han Dynasty who are accustomed to a slow life. There are twists and turns one after another, and rapid changes come as soon as the front foot has left, and the back foot has followed.
The remaining noble nobles in Guanzhong were so pressed that they couldn't breathe.
General Zhengxi is here.
General Zhengxi is gone...
General Zhengxi died?
General Zhengxi is alive!
What the hell is going on?
Even the gentry who inherited the classics and the gentry who paid attention to etiquette could not help but feel slanderous during such a dizzying change. Especially when they saw Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, swaggering past Longyou in a high-profile way.
The disturbing atmosphere that originally filled Guanzhong was like haze meeting the scorching sun. In the blink of an eye, it was torn apart and blown away by the brilliance brought by the dazzling Fei Qian!
Especially after seeing the soldiers and horses led by General Fei Qian of Zhengxi, there was an undercurrent of people who wanted to use this incident of General Fei Qian of Zhengxi to cause trouble, but they suddenly fell silent.
, seemed to be a little lucky, feeling that it was the most correct thing to not do anything. He completely forgot that just a few days ago, he was rushing to show that he had not gone to find some foreign aid earlier like the Guanzhong Zheng family...
Of course, there are still some people who, even now, are still a little unconvinced, and with some forbearance, continue to squat down and watch the changes in Guanzhong, and even merge with Beihanzhong and other areas.
The Zheng family in Guanzhong originally jumped out. Although there were not many followers, everyone now knows that in this contest, the side of General Fei Qian of Zhengxi obviously had the upper hand. As for what other changes will be made in the future,
No one can say for sure, but one thing is certain, that is, the outcome of the Zheng family in Guanzhong is not optimistic.
While Fei Qian was sitting in Zuo Fengyi and controlling the military and government affairs in Guanzhong, he sent Zhao Yun to lead some troops north to chase Huchuquan who was fleeing north. Although Fei Qian was still worried about the situation in Bingbei, Guanzhong was not completely stabilized.
Before, it was still not appropriate to leave this bright and shining brand.
As for Taishi Ci, Chen Hao, and Chen Gong who had newly defected to Linjin and played a great role in defending the city, Fei Qian could not treat them badly. In the past few days, supplies transferred from Jingzhao Yin have been continuously sent to Linjin.
Come, as for those noble nobles in Guanzhong who were not involved in the Zheng family incident, they also sent their family members to send some supplies, just like a blood transfusion, which suddenly restored the dilapidated Linjin City.
He recovered from a near-death state.
Of course, the reddish-brown soil next to the city, the corpses that have not been completely restrained, and the dilapidated city wall houses that have not yet been restored still remind everyone that death has just left, or in other words, it has only left a little temporarily, and it still remains.
They were circling around like scavenging vultures.
Longyou has Li Ru and Jia Xu, two men with a lot of tricks up their sleeves, watching them. In addition, Han Sui has a hidden card that he hasn't played yet, so Longyou doesn't have a big problem for the time being.
The biggest threat to Hanzhong was originally Shuzhong. As a result, Liu Yan died of illness. After Liu Zhang came to power, he was somewhat unable to suppress him because of his young age. Liu Dan, as the hotly-promoted governor of Yizhou, was in the honeymoon period of cooperation with General Zhengxi, at least for the time being.
Before he matures, he will never be able to do without Fei Qian's help. In addition, the help from Jingxiang is almost here, so Hanzhong is relatively stable at this time and does not need too much attention.
Fortunately for the third assistant in Guanzhong, Fei Qian arrived in time and controlled the entire war on the Linjin front. The farming fields in Jingzhaoyin and Youfufeng to the west were not harmed by soldiers, and most of this autumn's harvest was saved.
This made Fei Qian breathe a sigh of relief. However, Fei Qian still couldn't do anything else until Guanzhong was completely stabilized. After all, Fei Qian was like a sea-fixing needle at the moment. Without him, who knows what evil moths would come out.
Therefore, after going around and around, the Bingbei Pingyang area, which was originally the most stable, is now facing greater threats and challenges...
After Huchuquan ran away, Fei Qian was originally worried that Huchuquan would take the risk of bypassing Linjin and pounce on the hinterland of Guanzhong, so he specially sent scouts to not only explore the entire Linjin area, but also place them hundreds of miles away from the surrounding areas.
, However, it turned out that Hu Chuquan was not a desperate gambler, but just fled north, with no intention of killing him. This made Fei Qian put aside some worries and add new worries.
Bingbei Pingyang is not like Chang'an Sanfu. Although it is far away from the political and economic center, after all, it has experienced more than a hundred years of business in the Western Han Dynasty. Many counties and cities are high and deep. Even if they are not good, there are still some that can
It can be regarded as a powerful pass military stronghold, but Pingyang in the north is not even a fortified city. The most important thing is the fine fields around Pingyang that have been reclaimed for many years, as well as the school palace and workshops in the north of Pingyang.
Of course, there are people in Pingyang...
But now, no matter how anxious you are, it is of no use, you still have to do what needs to be done first.
For example, murder.
Autumn is crisp.
A good time to officially kill someone.
Having said that, just like human mating can occur in any season, there is no need to consider the time or climate when killing people. As for there seems to be a saying to kill prisoners in autumn...
It's just a matter of habit.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the population was sparse, during the Warring States Period, prisoners served as death squads, and the Pre-Qin Dynasty was relatively short-lived. Only in the Han Dynasty, starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did people pay attention to the connection between heaven and man, which led to the public recognizing that there is a mysterious connection between human beings and heaven and earth. Therefore,
All human actions must be in line with God's will. The establishment of officials and institutions must not only be in harmony with God's will, but punishments and pardons must also not go against God's will. Spring and summer are the seasons when all things are nourished and grown, and autumn and winter are the seasons of hibernation and hibernation.
Therefore, from that time on, Confucians believed that the relationship between heaven and man was the order and law of the entire universe, and that natural justice in the human world should also adapt to the will of heaven and comply with the four seasons.
The law of the Han Dynasty stipulated that executions could only be carried out in autumn and winter, and no executions were allowed after the beginning of spring. This rule was also continued in the Tang and Song Dynasties in later generations, and it was similar in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Missed the Yuan Dynasty?
hehe……
They kill people based on their mood.
However, no matter it was the Han Dynasty or later dynasties, all those who conspired and rebelled were executed immediately, regardless of the season and without delay.
Dozens of horsemen were in front, infantry were behind, flags were flying, and the queue was tight, escorting a long group of prison cars, which drove out from Anpingfang and walked slowly through the streets near the center of the city.
Although Linjin City has experienced war, the main street in the center is still intact. The wheels of prison cars are crushing on the bluestone ground, accompanied by the kicking of horse hooves and the collision of armor and swords, plus the prisoners in the prison cars.
The sound of crying to heaven and earth seemed extremely murderous and cruel.
In front of the queue, there was a figure with a slightly haggard face. It was Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, the prefect of Zuo Fengyi who had been guarding Linjin City for many days. After the cruel baptism of war, Xu Shu is now a little less elegant and more elegant.
A little more tough, completely different from the romantic scribe route.
Xu Shu sat on the horse and moved forward slowly. He was the prefect of Zuo Fengyi, so he was naturally the leader of the local military and civil affairs. Naturally, he was the one to open the first big guillotine under Linjin City.
On both sides of the street, there were soldiers guarding the streets in armor. They could only hear the sound of the marching queue and the sounds of curses or pain coming from the prison cars. On the contrary, the rest of the people standing on both sides did not dare to make any noise at all.
Even the voice he spoke was very thin.
This group of Guanzhong nobles are almost rotten to the end...
Xu Shu glanced at these people indifferently from the corner of his eyes, and then looked up at the tower. Under the three-color war flag, there was a figure standing in front of him, his eyes intertwined in the air.
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Kill it.
Yang Jun surrendered, and Zheng Gan naturally became an extra gift and fell into Fei Qian's hands.
But today, it was not Zheng Gan who was killed first, but the Wang family who was originally preparing to join forces with Zheng Gan in Anpingfang in the city, including all his clansmen in Wubao outside the city, and there are still two hundred and three hundred people left.
Sixteen people are alive, including 125 men, 91 women, and 22 underage children. Today they will be executed together and go to Huangquan Road.
Kill them all.
As for the private soldiers, they have already taken the first step, and the tenants outside the city are basically serving as cannon fodder in the approaching siege, and there are not many left.
Fei Qian originally had the idea of only killing the men and leaving the women and children behind, but he was resolutely stopped by Xu Shu's words - "Three clans will be punished for rebellion!"
Yes.
It can only be like this.
Otherwise, the profit of this rebellion is too high and the cost is too low, which will attract waves of people to attack. Eventually, Fei Qian will be busy dealing with internal rebellions, and how will he have the energy to deal with external opponents?
?
Near the city gate, the people whose houses had been torn down to defend the city suddenly rushed to the side of the prison car when Xu Shu escorted the Wang clan members to the prison car, and while cursing angrily, they threw the mud in their hands
and gravel were thrown into the prison car...
It's very simple. Fei Qian sent some people to help the people whose houses were demolished to clean up the debris, and promised to build new houses for these people. After a little guidance, he told the cause of the war that happened in Linjin City.
, and even the Wang family in the city was blamed for the displacement of these people.
So there is this scene in front of me.
In fact, it was not the Wang family who demolished the houses of the common people, and strictly speaking, the Wang family actually did not do anything but provided some food and drinks to the Zheng family's private soldiers who were ambushing in the city. Even the soldiers who were hidden in advance were
Blade, because the patrol in Anpingfang was too tight, there was no chance to send it out, not to mention that Tai Shici found out early, and the Wang family was still in a daze and did not react when they came to kill...
Fei Qian looked at the waves of extremely angry people. While crying and cursing, he threw the stones and dirt in his hands on the faces of the Wang clan members in the prison car. The Wang clan members were hit with bruises and bruises, and some even suffered injuries.
Blood was drawn out from the blow, and it flowed out along the gaping hole, all over his face.
The sudden wave of angry people, who were in the prison car, waving their arms and pointing to the sky and the ground, kept cursing, shouted injustice, and even hugged their children and cried miserably, were all stunned.
The earth, rubble, mud, and rotten wood were thrown like the sky. Even the old man Wang, who was originally the most stubborn and kept scolding even if his throat was broken all the way, was smothered by a few pieces of mud.
It hit his face, and he was hit on the head by several rocks one after another. He could no longer maintain his original strong posture, and could only huddle in the corner of the prison car in embarrassment, holding his head.
What is the outpouring of public dissatisfaction?
The Guanzhong gentry who were originally standing on both sides of the street, and there were still some chirping sounds, who came to show their goodwill, at this time also involuntarily closed their mouths, and stared at the people in Linjin City who were like crazy demons.
They once thought he was insignificant.
These people at the grassroots level are great, but they are also ignorant, and they are also easy to divert their attention...
Because they have the least information, they always know only what the upper class is willing to let them know. As a result, they are basically unable to think about problems from a collective level or from a higher position. For them, national harmony
Which one is closer?
Fei Qian remembered reading some serious novels in later generations, one of which was a novel written by Erich Maria Remarque called All Quiet on the Western Front.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" is very long, but the core of its theme can be roughly summarized in one sentence. In the face of national interests, most individuals are the targets of being used, hypnotized, deceived, and sacrificed. What's interesting is that these
Individuals are always ignorant, always easily fooled, and repeat the same mistakes again and again.
"Kill them! Kill these traitors!" Someone shouted loudly among the angry people in Linjin City.
Immediately, more voices rang out, gradually converging into one sentence, as if doing so could alleviate their pain and bring balance to their souls.
"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!"
The people of Linjin threw dirt and gravel, waved their fists, with angry and distorted expressions on their faces, and shouted loudly, like a surging tide, falling on the prison car in waves.
Fei Qian looked up at the sky, took a long breath, breathed it out slowly, and then waved his hand.
