Chapter 408 There are shrines everywhere, all reciting the grace of Uncle Liu (Three
Chapter 408: There are temples all over the place to commemorate the kindness of Uncle Liu Huang (three-in-one, please give me your monthly vote)
"kill!"
The war drums rumbled, and Gan Ning shouted loudly, urging the soldiers and horses he led to surround and squeeze the panicked people in the middle.
His eyes sparkled with excitement.
This is his first battle after coming to the emperor's uncle's command. He must perform well and fight well.
Show off your fighting power in front of the emperor's uncle!
Yan Yan, Jia Long, Zhang Yi, Lei Tong and others also mobilized their troops and horses as soon as the war drums beat and surrounded the Lou family and others who gathered in front of the east gate of Jinguan City.
Go away and quickly compress the encirclement.
As the encirclement shrank, the thickness of the soldiers and horses immediately increased.
At the same time, the astonishing momentum surrounding thousands of troops suddenly became intense.
It seems that even the wind is filled with a murderous aura that cannot be quelled!
Those who rebelled with the Lou family and others had no military background at all. Except for family members of the Lou family, the Shen family, and the servants guarding the courtyard, they were just some stragglers.
There are also some desperadoes who used to rob roads and cut rivers.
But these people used to be able to fight bravely elsewhere. They faced ordinary people, or existences that were the same as them, and they could only number a few hundred people at most.
Have you ever experienced a battle like this?
I have never fought with a large-scale army in the past or faced it personally, so it's okay.
It's absolutely nothing more than that.
At this time, it was immediately impossible to directly face the army aiming at them.
I just felt so flustered that my calves were shaking.
These fierce people who claimed to have seen blood only then realized that the situation they had faced before was too small a scene.
Compared with these soldiers and horses, who were holding weapons and slowly approaching them in a uniform manner, not in a hurry, but shrinking the encirclement in an orderly manner, they were nothing!
In addition, there are also the heads of the Lou family, the heads of the Shen family and many other people who immediately knelt down to beg for mercy and surrender after seeing Ren Qi being killed. They act as an atmosphere team here to stir up the atmosphere. They feel even more unsure and their calves are shaking.
Shaking even more violently...
After doing this for a while, I saw a large number of people kneeling around me, and finally I couldn't stand anymore.
He quickly threw away his weapons, knelt down and begged to surrender, begging for forgiveness...
The smile on Gan Ning's face gradually disappeared.
Eventually it turned into a piece of iron.
He wanted to rush over, put the knife to their necks, order these people to stand up, and fight with him!
Too irritating.
What a bully!
I finally waited for you to rebel, and there was a battle. The emperor's uncle was watching from the city wall. It was time to show off his personal strength.
As a result, before anyone arrived, you all knelt down one by one!
Who are you looking down on by kneeling so cleanly?
Not only Gan Ning, Yan Yan, Jia Long, Zhang Yi and others were speechless at the scene in front of them, or they had many feelings in their hearts.
I refused to drink the toast before, so I had to drink the fine wine.
Now the board has really fallen and been slapped on the butt, and I am beginning to regret it...
But it's too late...
It was useless to beg for mercy. Those who knelt down to beg for mercy were all tied up by soldiers and horses under Liu Cheng's order.
Only three people wanted to resist and escape.
They were all killed on the spot.
One of them was relatively close to Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, and was cut in half by the violent Gan Ning with a knife...
Many people watching this scene couldn't help but jump in their eyes!
Some people who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape or resist immediately gave up the idea and began to stay calmly...
…
Outside Mianzhu City, rows of people knelt down.
Following the order from Jia Long, who was overseeing the execution, the soldier acting as the executioner immediately waved the knife in his hand.
As the blood burst out, heads fell to the ground one by one.
The head of the Lou family, this old man who has been fighting with the officials who came to Yizhou to take charge of the government for half his life, has been hit hard this time.
He was not the first to be killed, but the last.
Seeing his children and grandchildren crying or trembling with fear, begging for mercy, and then being beheaded without hesitation and their bodies separated, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
At this time, he really regretted it.
I shouldn’t regret it at the beginning.
The money and property of the family are really not as important as the lives of the family members!
"What happened to me is the best example. You must remember to behave in a disciplined manner in the future. You don't have to have too much money at home, just enough.
As long as your family is safe and your heirs are prosperous, everything will be fine.
Don’t follow in my footsteps…”
The old man of the Lou family, who was in tears, shouted to the people around him with a hoarse voice, reminding those who were brought here to watch the execution...
"You have told the truth, so let me send you on your way myself!"
Gan Ning said aloud, then came behind the old man of the Lou family who was kneeling on the ground, pulled out his knife, and slashed him hard.
Blood spurted out, and the head was spinning on the ground...
Looking at the more than a hundred corpses lying on the ground, the people from the surrounding aristocratic families who were brought here to watch the executions through semi-coercive measures all felt awe-inspiring.
Because they knew that this time, the storm brewing here in Yizhou did not end with the death of people like the Lou family, but a beginning!
They knew that there were other aristocratic families who were secretly involved in this matter.
Otherwise, people like the Lou family should never have gathered such a powerful force and have so many manpower in such a short period of time!
And the most terrifying thing is right here.
Because those families were involved in this matter quietly and in an extremely covert manner.
In fact, even the dead heads of the Lou family, Shen family and other families don't know which family was involved in this matter.
In other words, Uncle Liu Huang, who was holding the blood-stained knife handle in his hand, could designate which one to perform the operation at will.
If any family colludes with rebels like the Lou family and has evil intentions, then you have evil intentions!
It's hard to justify.
There is no excuse!
This is equivalent to Liu Cheng, who already possesses extremely powerful force, now finding a perfect excuse and having the power to kill whichever family he wants to kill!
This thing is really terrifying!
It makes people feel extremely panicked.
Regardless of the families who were not secretly involved or the families who were really involved in this matter, they were all yelling curses in their hearts at the Lou family, Shen family and other families who had been beheaded.
What a pit!
It’s simply a pit!
You died and everything was over, but you completely tricked the living people to death!
For a time, except for a few families who had made it clear that they supported Liu Cheng from the beginning, the other families felt as if there was a sharp sword hanging on their foreheads.
The kind that's about to fall off at any time!
Originally, these people felt contempt for Yan Yan, Zhang Song, and Zhang Yi who expressed their opinions directly in front of everyone, and looked down upon them.
I feel like it's too much of a dog licking.
But at this time, all the contempt in their hearts disappeared.
All that was left was deep regret.
I wish I could slap myself in the face!
Why couldn't I be more brave and decisive in the first place?
As for Zhang Yi, after Zhang Yi returned, he couldn't help but give his father a lesson for his prodigal son who didn't feel sorry for his son. At this time, he straightened his chest and looked down at the group of people.
While I was happy, I couldn't help but praise my son.
I feel that he is really successful in educating his son...
He actually educated his own son to become ‘someone else’s child’!
…
People in Yizhou suddenly became panicked, especially those from aristocratic families.
Uncle Liu Huang, who was carrying a knife and had a good reason, was like a big mountain, and everyone couldn't breathe when he was pressed down...
Uncle Liu Huang is really skillful. After arriving here, without using a few moves, he trapped all the big families in Yizhou...
I really can't afford to offend this kind of person...
…
"...Uncle Emperor, I wonder how you are going to deal with those people who secretly instigate you next?"
Xun You, who had already arranged personnel at Liu Cheng's house to investigate Yan Yan, Zhang Yi's family, and Zhang Song's family, looked at Liu Cheng and asked.
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "I want to take this opportunity to completely clean up the Yizhou family and let Yizhou change the world. What does Gongda think?"
Hearing this, Xun You nodded with a smile and said: "My lord, this is the best idea. It can solve the problem once and for all, so that Yizhou will never be able to make waves again."
Hearing this, Liu Cheng smiled and shook his head: "Gongda, Gongda, you are still so smart and impeccable."
Xun You laughed and said: "This is mainly because the emperor's uncle has great wisdom and broad mind. If it were anyone else, I would naturally not say this."
After that, the expression on his face became serious, and he said to Liu Cheng: "Since the emperor has no intention of exterminating people on a large scale, it is better to identify the less honest families that need to be dealt with earlier.
In this way, people in Yizhou can be quickly calmed down, the situation in Yizhou can be stabilized, and Yizhou can become stable and various tasks can be carried out smoothly.
I believe that after going through this, these people in Yizhou will recognize the reality and become honest."
Liu Cheng nodded, expressing his agreement with Xun You's words.
Then I will work with Xun You here to determine the list based on the information obtained before and the information obtained during this Yizhou turmoil.
In the end, a total of fifteen family lists were determined.
These families are basically involved in this matter secretly.
However, there are also two families that did not participate.
But they have done too much in Yizhou in the past, and they are like thorns and bullies.
So Liu Chenggong took the opportunity to prepare to solve the problem.
In this list, the punishments range from light to severe and are divided into two batches.
There are six families who do things that are too unethical and unreasonable, and will directly destroy their families.
All the main members of the family were beheaded.
The remaining people were punished as slaves.
Family property confiscated.
Partial confiscation.
The land, as well as some of the remaining means of production, will be distributed to their hermit households, tenants, and some slaves, turning them into a registered population again, becoming entities that can collect taxes and perform labor services.
Of course, this kind of land allocation does not mean all the land is divided, but is divided according to actual needs. If there is surplus land, it will be temporarily held in the hands of the government and distributed to those who do not have much land.
Farmers who rent little land.
As for the family members of aristocratic families who were punished as slaves, Liu Cheng would not let them stay in Yizhou, at least not in the land where they originally stayed.
We plan to bring them to Guanzhong to replenish the population of Guanzhong and participate in the large-scale production and construction of Guanzhong.
As for the remaining nine households, their property was also confiscated.
However, it is not beheaded.
It's just downgrading them to ordinary people.
According to the standards of the hidden households and tenant households in their homes, the land in their homes and the means of production and living that Liu Cheng left behind over time were divided.
From now on, they will live the lives of ordinary people and no longer enjoy privileges. They will need to work, pay taxes, and perform labor services.
Feed yourself, no longer oppress and exploit...
After confirming the list and disposal methods, Liu Cheng immediately summoned his generals, assigned them tasks, asked them to lead troops, provide force support, and disperse to various families to do this.
This time, Liu Cheng did not only use local officials in Yizhou as before.
Yan Yan, Wu Yi, Wu Lan and other generals who followed Liu Yan to Sichuan and were subdued by him were all mobilized by him to do this.
At the same time, each team has specialized personnel responsible for confiscating and redistributing the properties of these large households.
Responsible for registering those hermits, tenants, slaves, etc.
This work was mostly handled by the group of people Xun You brought from Guanzhong.
They are not natives of Yizhou and have nothing to do with them, making it easier for them to act impartially.
Moreover, a few days ago, they had followed Xun You at Yan Yan's and Zhang Yi's houses to clean up the hidden households, hide the properties, and allocate the properties to the hidden households. They had already practiced their skills and were relatively proficient in the business.
It would be best for them to do this.
This is also their main responsibility after arriving in Yizhou.
In addition, Liu Cheng will also send five of his tiger and leopard mounted guards to each team.
Act as his eyes and supervise this matter.
Restrain everyone to prevent anyone from acting randomly during the process, causing things to seriously deviate from his expectations and violate his original intention...
After Liu Cheng arranged this task, within half a day, these people divided into fifteen groups and rapidly advanced towards various parts of Yizhou!
One team is responsible for one family.
After these teams set off, Liu Cheng also had people post proclamations and quickly deliver them to all parts of Yizhou.
The rhetoric of the announcement is not gorgeous, and is even somewhat straightforward, trying to describe things clearly.
It was announced that these families secretly colluded with the Lou family and others, and secretly provided strength to help the Lou family and other rebels with the intention of rebelling.
List confirmed.
He also wrote about the punishment for them...
…
Ever since the Lou family and others were executed and their family was surrounded, the wealthy families in Yizhou had already had a premonition that a big storm was coming.
When Liu Cheng followed closely and mobilized troops and horses, and many troops were divided into fifteen groups and rushed towards everywhere like a strong wind, these noble families immediately became trembling and panicked.
The ants on the hot pot are spinning around.
They have already planned to whip the corpses of the Lou family and the Shen family and dig up their ancestral graves!
This is such a pitfall!
Fortunately, the official announcement from Uncle Liu Huang came soon.
The list of rebels was announced.
This shows that Uncle Liu's butcher knife will only attack these people this time and will no longer involve other families.
This made those families unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even some heads of big families who are usually mature and prudent couldn't help crying in private.
It's not that they are incompetent, it's just that Uncle Liu Huang is so strong that they have no power to fight back.
A combination of punches knocked them all unconscious.
You can only let others slaughter you.
This feeling of powerlessness, even despair, was something they had never experienced before.
In the past, they felt that even if the King of Heaven came to their Yizhou, they would still have to sit around and talk to them properly!
But now, they find out how wrong they were.
No Heavenly King came to Yizhou, only Uncle Liu Huang came, and he tortured them to ecstasy with ease and ease.
This feeling is not wonderful at all...
…
Shu County, Zhu family.
Although the head of the Zhu family felt quite aching in his heart.
But compared to many panicked wealthy people in Yizhou, he was still very relaxed and did not have too much psychological burden.
Because this time, he really stood on the right team and did not take action secretly, working with the Lou family members to harm Uncle Liu Huang.
Through these observations over time, he found that although Uncle Liu Huang acted domineeringly, he did not act randomly.
This time, no matter how big the storm in Yizhou is, as long as he was not involved before, it will not involve him.
Just thinking about the fields and hidden houses that were about to be cleared, I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart.
Yizhou has really changed and is completely different from before.
From now on, I can no longer act as I did before, I need to curl up.
With this thought in his mind, he prepared to summon all the main members of the family to talk about this matter.
Tell the people in your family that you can no longer behave in the same domineering and unreasonable manner as before.
No matter who you are facing, it is the same!
As a result, at this moment, his third son came running all the way.
"Grandpa! Didn't you say that our family was not involved in this matter?
How come Uncle Liu Huang's army just came to us?"
"What?!"
The head of the Zhu family jumped up in shock when he heard this!
"Hurry up and take Chong'er and Shen'er with you and hide in the secret room!
No matter what happens outside, don't come out!
Even if I die, it will still be the same!!"
The old man of the Zhu family, with a pale face, remained silent for a moment, then immediately looked at his third son and issued an order, extremely anxious.
"Grandpa, you, you... can't, let's..."
The third child of the Zhu family was frightened by his grandfather's reaction. He was a little confused for a moment. He wanted to say something and ask for clarification.
"Nothing will happen! Now hurry up and do what I ask!"
Be prepared for the worst!”
The old man's face was more serious than ever.
"Remember my words, if there is any disagreement, from now on you will remain anonymous, live a good life with your two children, and don't take revenge!
Remember, don’t take revenge!”
He hurriedly explained to his son, then walked forward quickly, his legs and feet feeling a little weak.
At this time, there was already a noise coming, and he needed to hurry over...
The third son of the Zhu family opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly went to find the two young men...
This is often the case. If you don't make more preparations on weekdays, when a huge wave hits you, you won't even have time to react...
"Captain Yan, why are you doing this?
My Zhu family is pure and clean, and I have absolutely no involvement in this matter!"
The old man rushed to the gate of the mansion and looked at Yan Yan who was riding a horse with soldiers and horses and had already surrounded their courtyard. He bowed his hands and saluted, and said anxiously.
I just feel very wronged in my heart.
Yan Yan raised the proclamation in his hand and declared: "None of the fifteen families who rebelled this time will say that they were involved in this matter.
After all, this was all done secretly.
But, do you really think that things can be done perfectly and without leaving any traces?
The Zishan bandits personally admitted that they accepted benefits and instructions from your family before following the Lou family and other traitors to commit rebellion!
How dare you deny it?"
The head of the Zhu family swore that he really didn't know about the Purple Bandits, let alone sent them to do this.
There is no one at home, so we do this secretly.
"If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?
If Uncle Liu Huang dares to do this today, will it not be your turn to be blamed by Yan Yan tomorrow?"
The head of the Zhu family looked at Yan Yan and scolded him loudly.
Yan Yan remained expressionless: "The evidence is already conclusive, so why dare you say something here to incriminate me?
If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it!
Can you save some face?!"
Yan Yan looked at the old man of the Zhu family and scolded him.
Then he gave the order and personally led the people to rush towards the Zhu family's house.
The head of the Zhu family tried to stop him, but Yan Yan slashed him to the ground with a knife...
Half an hour later, everyone in the Zhu family was captured.
Those slaves and tenants were also controlled...
…
Early the next morning, a large number of people gathered near Zhu's house.
They are all slaves, tenants, hermits, and the surrounding people of the Zhu family.
Fazheng wore official uniform and announced the Zhu family's crimes in public.
In addition to colluding with rebels and rebels, they also oppressed the villagers, plundered, occupied land, and killed people for no reason.
The rebellion was not something that everyone present had deep feelings about, but the oppression of the village and the plundering of things touched the hearts of the common people, tenants, hermits, and slaves.
When they saw that the main member of the Zhu family was beheaded and the Zhu family that had previously oppressed them suddenly collapsed, these people couldn't help but cheer.
Some people even couldn't help crying...
We all express our gratitude to Uncle Liu Huang for his kindness.
After beheading the people, Fa Zheng announced here that all hermits and slaves would be registered, and the land of the Zhu family would be distributed to them and poor families, and from now on, they would only have to pay a poll tax once a year.
At that time, everyone present went crazy on the spot.
They really didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to them one day.
Of course, there are also people who do not believe this out of caution and long-standing distrust of the government.
But when the fields and some hoes were actually given to them, all their distrust disappeared.
Everyone remembered a name in their hearts, Liu Cheng, Liu Huangshu!
Some of the people who were assigned fields and were slaves were reluctant to go home at night, so they slept on the newly assigned land.
Rolling back and forth on the ground, kneeling on the ground, kissing the ground with tears...
I can't believe that he is no longer a slave, I can't believe that he has his own land!
Uncle Liu Huang!
This is all because of Uncle Liu Huang!
If it weren't for Uncle Liu Huang, they wouldn't be able to get everything they dream of!
Here in Yizhou, as Liu Cheng's order was issued, fifteen teams were released like a storm, and fifteen powerful local families collapsed.
Including the Lou family, Shen family and other four families that were beheaded before, as well as the Wu family and Ren family, twenty-one families collapsed in a short period of time!
A large amount of land and hidden houses were released.
Things have changed here in Yizhou!
…
Jingzhou, Lou Zhong and others finally met Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng...
