Chapter 5497 Provoking rebellion and destroying traces
The black robe took a breath of air: "This Pilu Daoxiu is too cruel. He wants to give all the thousands of Qi's powerful noble families who were separated from the Jiang and Tian surnames since the Qi Dynasty.
Have you killed your head? Xiang Yu once wanted to do this kind of thing before, Gou Xi also wanted to do this kind of thing, and earned the bad reputation of the butcher, but neither of them could succeed."
Doupeng nodded: "Yes, they want to use pure external force to intervene and forcibly eliminate these powerful families in Qi. However, they don't know that they have been here for thousands of years. They are familiar with the terrain and have deep roots. They can even threaten the local people.
The people, the people, force him to fight with him
They entered the mountains together and built a stronghold to defend themselves. Even if they were attacked, they would all be destroyed. The final victor would not be able to turn it into benefits after the war. Therefore, the more cities were massacred, the fiercer the resistance would be. After all the cities were massacred, Qilu would also be a no man's land.
, this is not worth the loss.”
"But Pilu Daoxiu didn't think so. He was also a member of the local powerful clan, and he had roped in hundreds of other powerful noble clans of middle and lower classes. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate these old powerful clans.
He forcibly occupied the land of Qilu and made it his own, relying on Liu Muzhi's elite men who were skilled in mountain warfare. This was different from the past, because with these troops,
Coupled with the militia volunteers of the old powerful clans who were recruited after winning the battle, these powerful mountain forts can be eliminated one by one. In the end, only the leader of the powerful clan who takes the lead is killed, and the people under him are spared. After leaving the mountain,
Farming and production can still be carried out, but the people who manage them have changed from the Gao family, Han family, and Feng family to the Pilu family, Yuan family, and Chang family."
The black robe sneered and said: "Liu Jingxuan may agree, because in his view, Pilu Daoxiu is his comrade-in-arms, a good brother, and a helper who can be fully entrusted to govern Qingzhou, but Liu Muzhi will never see it this way. In his view, Pilu Daoxiu is his comrade-in-arms and good brother.
It seems that Pilu Daoxiu is still a powerful man in the land of Qilu, but he just wants to use the power of the Jin army to eliminate the original
If he ascends to power, and once he gets his wish, he will be the unstoppable overlord of Qingzhou. Furthermore, the Tianshi Dao rebellion in the south has not yet been settled, and the Northern Wei and Later Qin in the north still have heavy troops on the border, ready to attack at any time.
The Northern Expeditionary Army that may invade and guard Qingzhou is withdrawing to the south in large numbers, leaving Qingzhou itself empty of troops."
"In this case, if the forces that purge the old powerful families are killed and uprooted on a large scale, it will cause a full-scale civil war in the land of Qilu. Even if these old powerful families are defeated by the Jin army in Qingzhou, they can still
Ask for help from external forces. Last time, Sima Guofan's party was created due to the rebellion of the Sima clan, which caused chaos in northwest Henan.
Restless, if he destroys the hard-won stability of Qingzhou for the sake of Pilu Daoxiu's personal ambition, it will ruin Liu Yu's major affairs. Therefore, Liu Muzhi just killed more than a dozen rebel families.
The leaders, and based on their identification, killed Han Fan, Feng Yi, and Gao Changbo, the patriarchs of several big families, but spared a large number of other landowners from the old wealthy families."
Doupeng nodded: "Just like what you said, in order to shock people and punish the rebellion, Liu Muzhi killed Han Fan, Feng Yi and others even though he knew that they were unjustly accused and did not participate in the rebellion. This is
In fact, it was also to punish families such as the Han family, the Feng family, and the Gao family. Before foreign enemies attacked, they took a look at the situation.
The behavior of being the first to surrender to foreign enemies if something is not right has been the case from the Shizhao period at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty to Murongde's invasion, even during the period when Qingzhou was recovered during the Northern Expedition. If the majesty of the Jin State is not established through this method, then Qingzhou will not be able to do so next time.
When encountering a strong enemy invasion, these people will still welcome the enemy again."
"It's just that Liu Muzhi also needs to appease most of the local powerful people and let them know that the Jin State here will not kill indiscriminately like those butchers in the past. The culprit will be eliminated, and threats will never be asked.
The matter will not be too extensive, so I will stop here to warn Pilu Daoxiu and others not to use the power of the Jin army to purge other families for their own benefit. In the end, the Jin government will be responsible for the infamy.
But they themselves will not attract any infamy. Moreover, the final hunt for Han Fan, Feng Yi and others, including the executions, was done by Pilu Daoxiu and others personally, and Pilu was publicly rewarded in large numbers.
Daoxiu and others found Han Fan, Feng Yi and others, who ordered the rebellion letter to prove the crime, just to get blood on their hands. In the future, if the Han family, Feng family and Gao family want to seek revenge, they will first target the Pilu family.
They go."
When the ancestor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm actually not very clear about the details of these things, but Venerable Doupeng personally controlled the entire process, so it should be said very clearly, so
Speaking of which, you and Pilu Daoxiu should have some contact now. Those letters imitating the handwriting of Han Fan, Feng Yi and others are unlikely to be produced by Pilu Daoxiu. They should also be your masterpieces.
Bar."
Doupeng smiled slightly: "Of course, I used the magic power of the Divine Alliance to make these letters myself, and then bribed the servants who had been lurking around Han Fan and Feng Yi for a long time, and sent them to these branch families, so that
They believed it to be true, thinking that Han Fan, Feng Yi and others had already secretly communicated with Later Qin and the Celestial Masters, and that as soon as the Jin army withdrew, strong reinforcements would arrive, and by then their persistence in the mountains would be successful."
"In addition, I also used some treasures and ordnance that Murong Chui left in Qingzhou, and asked these rebellious families to take them out and use them as weapons against the official army. So in this way, Liu Muzhi and the others also
It can be said that people have stolen the goods together, and it is impossible not to deal with it. However, I did not expect that Liu Muzhi could only kill Han Fan, Feng Yi and the dozen or so rebel families, while letting the others go."
The ancestor frowned: "Did Liu Muzhi find any clues about your activities? Have all those cronies who sent the letters been dealt with?"
Doupeng said calmly: "In accordance with the standard procedures of the Shen League, these messengers and spies disappeared from the world, and Han Fan and Feng Yi's family did not wait for the return of these people, thinking that these people took the opportunity to seek refuge.
Pilu Dao showed them off, and after finally having these people's confessions, as well as physical evidence such as weapons, treasures, and letters, I let these people die violently in prison.
Liu Muzhi might think there is something wrong with the death without any evidence, but he would never think of our Tiandao Alliance. He would only think that Pilu Daoxiu wanted to put the blame on others, and Pilu Daoxiu would also think that it was Liu Muzhi.
Mu Zhi killed people and silenced them in order not to prevent the incident from expanding. The two parties have already become suspicious. I think this will be something we can take advantage of in the future." (End of Chapter)
