When the entire Han Dynasty was carrying out the autumn harvest, the population of Anding County and Linjing City began to increase day by day. In just ten days, there was a steady flow of people in the city, and the population more than doubled! A large number of powerful people came to this small city. It restored the popularity of this place.
The first thing these Xiliang tycoons did when they came to Linjing was to visit Han Sui, hoping to find out from Han Sui how the Lei Gong would deal with them. However, Han Sui himself did not know what Lei Gong was thinking, so naturally he did not dare to say too much. Okay. What if I accidentally say the wrong thing and get chopped by Thunder God?
Did he know that he and Ma Teng had killed hundreds of Da Gan's tribesmen and robbed hundreds of thousands of shi of food, and were enemies to Da Gan's subordinates? If Lei Gong caught Pai Haoluo, he might not be able to reap the rewards!
However, the powerful people in Xiliang could not get the news from Han Sui, but they found out that Jia Xu had become Lei Gong's soldier. This unexpected news made them overjoyed, and they all looked for Jia Xu one after another.
But Jia Xu knew that the Daqian army had strict military discipline. This time he encouraged Lei Gong to attack Xiliang with the intention of protecting his hometown, because he knew that the entire Han Dynasty, that is, Lei Gong, had food to provide relief to the entire Xiliang. Even if others came to Xiliang, What came was only killing. Now that his goal was achieved, he did not dare to stand out anymore, so these powerful people from Xiliang were not seen at all! In Jia Xu's view, only these powerful people handed over the land, and even if they were in power, they saw the lack of Han people in Xiliang. , and will not attack them!
After the Xiliang powerful men were anxious in Linjing for several days, Han Sui summoned them all to the government office in Linjing!
Then he said to them: "You clan leaders, I think you all know me, Han Sui. This time, I, Han Sui, have called everyone here to tell you that Xiliang will become the territory of Daqian from now on! What a change in the sky. In the future, we should stop using the methods we used in the Han Dynasty, otherwise the powerful noble families in Hebei will be our role models!"
The Xiliang clan chiefs shook their heads one by one and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
For them, it is a blessing to be able to guarantee their lives and property in Lei Gong. How can they dare to think about other things!
Han Sui cupped his hands and said to a young man beside him: "This will be our future governor of Xiliang. Governor Wang will be our future parent officer!"
The heroes of Xiliang looked at the Guojun who was only twenty years old in surprise. Such a young governor would only appear when the new dynasty was established!
However, their reactions were very quick. They all saluted and said, "I've seen Governor Wang!"
Wang Guojun also saluted them and said, "I have met the clan leaders!"
Then he looked at the clan chiefs and said solemnly: "Every clan chief must have heard of our policy, which is to kill all powerful gentry and powerful gentry!"
These clan leaders were startled and thought that Lei Gong was going to catch them all. When they saw that the swordsmen and axemen around them did not appear, they calmed down and immediately said: "This is just Yuan Shao and other powerful figures from Guandong slandering the government. I won't believe it." These rumors!"
"Yes! It's Yuan Shao who is slandering our government!" the Xiliang clan leader immediately began to agree.
But Wang Guojun said solemnly: "I can tell you with certainty that we are exterminating all the noble families in Hebei. This is completely a rumor! But the guilty noble families were killed by us. Although all the family properties were not confiscated, all the land and food were taken by us. Confiscated, now the wealthy nobles in Hebei have become ordinary people, I can tell you clearly that there was no room for the noble nobles in our Qian Dynasty!"
These words caused everyone to burst into an uproar. Doesn't this posture look like Zhao'an?
The Wang Guojun ignored the thoughts of these clan leaders and continued: "Originally, after my family occupied Xiliang, they also wanted to follow the example of Hebei, break down your Wubao, arrest them for public trial, and then divide your land and kill them all for evil. So powerful!"
Lei Gong is really having a Hongmen Banquet!
The timid patriarch was frightened and fainted after hearing this!
But as soon as the words changed, Wang Guojun said: "But the ruler of my family believes that you powerful people have done a good job in defending our 5,000-mile territory in China. In addition, the Han people in Xiliang are declining, and they want to kill you. Only the barbarians will benefit!"
"That's right, that's right! There aren't many Han people in Xiliang to begin with. If we kill all of us, only the barbarians will benefit! Han people don't kill Han people!" When the Xiliang clan leader heard this, he immediately agreed!
Wang Guojun did not pay attention to what these people said: "Although my family is tolerant to you, our Dagan policy must still be implemented. The fields and pastures under your name will be handed over and returned to the state. If you want to farm, you must follow the instructions. My Dagan policy is that in a poor place like Xiliang, one household can be allocated 100 acres of fields and 1,000 acres of pasture. The food in your hands must also be purchased at the price of 100 yuan per stone! To ensure the survival of other people!"
This was another uproar. The land was their foundation. Unexpectedly, Lei Gong would not let go at all. How could a family with a hundred acres of land support such a big family like them?
The grain price of 100 yuan per stone is even more money-grabbing. Because there are many people helping the victims, the price of grain in Xiliang finally dropped from 10,000 yuan per stone to 500 yuan per stone. But now Lei Gong buys their grain at 100 yuan per stone. This It’s too bullying!
But now Lei Gong is stationed in Xiliang with an army of 100,000, and the disaster relief has brought all the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiliang under their control. These clan leaders found that if they dared to refuse, they would be greeted by Da Gan's sword, so they Don't dare to make any loud noise anymore!
Only an unknown voice whispered: "Take away all our food at a low price. This is not to starve us to death. Where can we buy food in Xiliang now?"
Wang Guojun said: "Don't worry, as long as you are in our Daqian territory, you will not starve to death. If you really starve to death, I will pay for your life!"
Then Wang Guojun said: "I'm not asking you to hand over all the food. Each of you can keep 20 shi of food. This is your food for one year. The food in the future will have to go to our regular food store in Daqian with food stamps." Come and buy, two shi of grain per person per month, and 10 kilograms of dried fish, I guarantee you won’t starve to death!”
"All the servants of the family have also been released. No one in my Dagan can enslave others, not even those in power. Anyone who dares to enslave others is my enemy in Dagan!"
Many powerful people in Xiliang know about Daqian's food stamp system, and they are careful to explain it to others!
But no matter how these people explained it, the powerful patriarchs of Xiliang were annoyed and looked at Han Sui one by one!
Are you going to give us such conditions? This is worse than surrender!
Did Lei Gong want to drive them all away by imposing such conditions?
They have no land, and they can't even have slaves. What kind of wealthy family are they?
You old fox won't sell us to Thunder Lord, will you?
The more these clan leaders thought about it, the more likely it became that Han Sui had no bottom line at all and could do anything!
Han Sui felt helpless looking at these suspicious eyes!
Who do you think I, Han Sui, am? Although I like to betray my brothers and jump around repeatedly, this time all my troops were beaten by Thunder Lord and it was too late to save my life. Who am I qualified to raise conditions?
But the more these clan leaders thought about it, the more they felt it was possible! If Lei Gong wanted to pacify Xiliang, they didn't necessarily need them to maintain it. He could also find a way to kill them all, which would have the same effect.
This explains why Lei Gong asked Han Sui to write a letter asking them to come over. He wanted to make them relax their vigilance!
Has Thunder Lord's army arrived at their family's fort?
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Officials of the Han Dynasty liked to use this method. They first gathered the local powerful people, and then ambushed 500 swordsmen and killed them all! This is an old method inherited from the cruel officials of the Han Dynasty! It is simple and easy.
Practical! Even in this dynasty, it only appears once every few years.
The powerful leader of Xiliang became more and more uneasy as he thought about it! Lei Gong's condition didn't seem like he wanted to appease them, but rather seemed to be forcing them to rebel!
"Well, Han Sui, we know that you have always looked down on us, Xiliang, and don't want to be rebellious. You want to be a high-ranking official with two thousand dan of the Han Dynasty. Now, are you going to sell us all and get promoted yourself? Sell out the township party.
, are you still a human being?" Hu Zhi angrily scolded Han Suidao!
People in this world value the township party and regard fellow villagers as their own. Just like after Dong Zhuo became the Prime Minister, he thought of finding his fellow Xiliang fellows to form the Xiliang Party!
Han Sui knew that this misunderstanding was spread, and his reputation was completely ruined. Although he was not doing well now, he immediately explained: "Our Xiliang coalition army was wiped out by the government in the first battle. I have
What are the conditions for qualification? I am just a messenger. If you feel that these conditions are not enough, you can lead your family to rebel. You don’t need me to teach you this!"
Wang Guojun also said: "Yes, Han Sui is just a messenger. The conditions I just mentioned are the basis for our cooperation. If you don't agree, I am here to guarantee that you can return home safely, even if you want to rebel.
!”
"It just so happens that this time when I came to Xiliang, I didn't kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and kill the wealthy people. If any of you want to rebel, you can say that we will send people to send you away immediately. You can rest assured that we, Da Gan, also started out as rebels.
I won’t be so shameless as to intercept and kill you on the way, after all, under the artillery fire, one more of you is not enough!”
Wang Guojun revealed Da Gan's bottom line, and these clan leaders were no longer afraid! They began to think of ways to fight for their own interests!
"Prince Wang, it is true that Da Gan's military front is at its peak, but the Han army's military front is not much worse than Da Gan's. We who are not successful enough, but more than capable of defeat, rely on our strength to fight at home and defeat Lei Gong.
It is still possible to hold power in Xiliang for three to five years!"
With this said, everyone’s confidence has improved!
"Yes! The Han Dynasty was so powerful at the time, but it took a hundred years to defeat Xiliang. Don't treat us as fools when Lei Gong is in power. We also have the power to resist!"
"If we can't win, why can't we hide? Our land in Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are no roads in many places. Don't think that when Lei Gong is in power, he can suppress Xiliang with an army of 100,000. The worst we can do is break it into pieces. We will fight guerrillas with you Dagan throughout the land of thousands of miles in Xiliang. The army is stationed in Xiliang. There are thousands of miles of grain roads alone. The transportation of grain and baggage is enough to exhaust Dagan. I can't defeat you, but I will drag you to death. you!"
These words sound a bit forceful. It’s okay for the barbarians to fight guerrillas. You powerful people are all based in your own Wubao and have no ability to fight guerrillas. Without Wubao, these people’s armies will not be able to fight guerrillas. It’s gone!
But at this moment they have to say it, because they know that their strength is far inferior to Dagan, and what they can rely on is that Lei Gong is not willing to waste too much time on the barren land of Xiliang!
Not to mention that these clan leaders are all related to the Qiang people in Xiliang, and this is their confidence to deal with Lei Gong. They can't defeat the Daqian army, but they can cause chaos in the entire Xiliang!
In the Han Dynasty, they used the Qiang people to deal with corrupt officials in the imperial court like this! Not too many high-ranking officials died in Xiliang. Even the Guandong people were afraid of the Xiliang people and did not dare to send their disciples and old officials to Xiliang. court death!
Han Sui saw that the meeting was about to fall out, and secretly scolded Lei Gong for being unreliable. He let a young boy hold such an important meeting, and it was about to fall out in less than half a stick of incense!
But he couldn't watch this meeting fall out like this. After all, it was the people summoned in his name, and Han Sui didn't want to see his hometown become a river of blood and kill the entire Hebei noble family. Lei Gong But he was a ruthless man, and this meeting fell out. Han Sui could guarantee that Lei Gong could really kill all the powerful people in Xiliang!
So he stood up immediately and said, "Don't be so angry, everyone! If you have any matters, we can discuss them carefully!"
Then he said to the Xiliang clan chiefs: "The land in Xiliang is nothing! Who in Xiliang makes a fortune from the land? Don't you know that if Daqian can pacify the entire Xiliang, it's not a problem to come to the Western Regions. If we can get through If you cross the Silk Road, the gold, mountains and silver sea are all yours, so what does this little land mean?"
Then Han Sui persuaded Wang Guojun: "The Chief of Lei Gong summoned so many clan leaders, obviously he didn't want to force everyone to rebel. Has the Governor Wang forgotten the task assigned by the Chief of Lei Gong?"
Han Sui discovered that this Wang Guojun might have a grudge against the powerful nobles. How could anyone recruit someone to surrender like this? If you slap him, you should also give a few sweet dates. How could anyone be like Wang Guojun who slapped him dozens of times in a row and his face was swollen? Yes! Can we continue this discussion?
Wang Guojun was persuaded by Han Sui and found that he could not continue to intensify the contradiction, so he said: "We in power do have the idea of opening up the Silk Road, otherwise we would not come to you to discuss how to stabilize Xiliang. As long as Xiliang is stabilized, I am sure Qian must send troops to the Western Regions!"
These words made the head of Xiliang's eyes light up. There was not much land in Xiliang suitable for growing food. In the past, Xiliang's prosperity relied on the large amount of products and caravans brought by the Silk Road. In those days, as long as the towns on the Silk Road Even selling water can make you rich. In the Pre-Han Dynasty, Anding County was not much worse than Guanzhong today. If Daqian could really open up the Silk Road, the land of his family would be completely worthless. It is not as fertile as Jizhou. Land! Even if you farm, you won’t be able to grow a single flower!
