In the second year of Jinghao, late autumn and early winter.
Taibao Liu Qing completely recovered the nine southern counties and secretly controlled the six counties of the imperial court, and divided the south with fifteen counties.
Emperor Jing Hao issued eight imperial edicts in a row, requiring Liu Taibao to return to Beijing to report his work.
However, Liu Qing did not listen to the order or the proclamation. He regarded the imperial edict as nothing, actively mobilized his troops, built cities and walls at the border border with the court, and called this a border.
The news came out and the world was in an uproar.
Everyone knows Liu Qing’s rebellious intention.
Under the persuasion of the ministers, Emperor Jing Hao first politely and then soldiers, and sent ministers three times to the south to persuade Liu Qing to return to his way, giving him enough benevolence and righteousness.
Liu Taibao was also very kind and righteous, and promised not to rebel or be king. He would be a citizen of Da Kun for life.
He also said that the wall was built just to resist the barbarians and avoid the invasion of the mainland by barbarians. After all, their long-distance attack method was unpredictable.
Only by building high walls can you block the foreign enemies in the nine counties and prevent Your Majesty from being invaded.
For a time, two different voices appeared among the people.
One thing is that Liu Qing wants to rebel and is ruthless.
One thing is that Liu Taibao is loyal to the emperor and serves the country. In order to protect the peace of the country, he would rather be misunderstood by the court than to build a wall. The nine counties will bear the edge of the barbarians and sacrifice the small to protect the big one. This is a great benevolence and righteousness!
People listen to the wind and rain, and have no ability to distinguish between true and false. The "patriotic" character created by Liu Qing played a role, and most people support the second type of remarks.
In this public opinion war, Yingwei was slightly better.
If the court wants to start a war, it must first unify the thoughts of the people, otherwise the people will be uneven and they will attack loyal ministers. I am afraid that the army will turn against each other before the battle begins.
Sun Dehai, the commander of the tutor, was scolded by Emperor Jing Hao for his unfavorable command.
In fact, Ma Liu, who was actually in charge of intelligence, did not engage in a good public opinion war and should be responsible. However, Liu Uncle was not punished, but was promoted to deputy commander.
I didn't have this position before, and it was specially opened for Maliu.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu's impression of Emperor Jing Hao changed a little.
After experiencing Xiao Jingao's incident, in his impression, the second prince was an extremely selfish and cruel person. Even his brothers could kill him and had no tolerance for others.
Now that the Sixth Uncle made a mistake, delaying national affairs and not surrendering, he rose instead of surrendering. How could the Sixth Uncle not be loyal to the emperor and serve his life with such a means of controlling people?
A scholar dies for his confidant, and the emperor's tolerance is the most powerful weapon of killing.
If the Sixth Uncle had a little unfair intention before, even if Emperor Longqing was resurrected and wanted to take charge of the overall situation, I am afraid he would stand on Emperor Jing Hao's side.
However, even though the polarization of public opinion among the people still cannot stop the court.
The will of the upper class will not be influenced by the common people.
As long as they think Liu Qing will rebel, they will make corresponding arrangements.
Emperor Jing Hao first issued an order to dismiss Liu Qing's position as the Taibao, calling him a traitor.
Then he dispatched troops and generals, and imperial edicts were issued. The imperial machine started to move, which made the Dakun Dynasty, which had been stable for twelve years, once again shrouded the dark clouds of war.
No one knows whether a war will begin, but the attitude of a war must be made.
Otherwise, if Liu Qing did not obey the imperial edict and the court would not respond, what was the emperor's prestige?
This time, the atmosphere suddenly became tense from the court to the people.
Even if Zhang Wu lives in seclusion in the alleys in the south of the city, he can smell the smell of war.
"It's so fucking unlucky, I almost got caught."
Hutubao stepped into the yard and ate the meat patty hard, tearing it very hard.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Wu walked out of the house after hearing the sound, holding a small jar in his hand, and was developing a new poison.
Hutubao said with a weak face:
"The servants in Shuntian Prefecture led a lot of garrison troops to catch the strong men on the streets, and searched the people who were evading labor."
"If I hadn't been running over the wall quickly, I would have been blocked in the yard."
Hutubao sighed and said:
"Resistance and killing the officers will be punished by death. If you don't resist, you will be arrested and sent to the front line to serve and transport supplies, food and grass, and you will be dead for a lifetime."
Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. The court mobilizes troops and horses, and the people will also recruit people.
A hundred thousand troops were dispatched, and millions of civilians were often followed behind them to protect the logistics of the army.
Emperor Wu of Han conquered the Huns for decades and dispatched only hundreds of thousands of troops. However, in the late stage, the population of the Han Dynasty was reduced by half, and most of the people were enlisted to death.
In order to avoid serving, many people simply fled their hometowns and became refugees.
The refugees gathered together, either going up the mountain to be bandits, harming the people, or rising up and rebelling against his mother.
In short, as long as you fight, the world will become worse, and the people will eventually suffer.
The unemployed vagrants who are in the world are naturally the key targets for recruiting people.
Check their labor records and ensure that they are accurate.
Most of the rich people in the world would rather lick blood on the tip of the knife and wander around than go back to be farmers. Many people are not willing to avoid labor service and are unwilling to be exploited by the government for free.
If you can eat enough and have a way out, who would like to put your head on your waist and go to gangs to fight and kill?
Today, many martial arts powerhouses emerge, and everyone is martial. There are people from all over the world who are not engaged in production. They can also indirectly reflect that the country's situation is very bad.
Of course, martial arts powerhouses did not emerge suddenly, but also had a growth cycle, which would take at least fifteen years.
The prosperity of martial arts now shows that fifteen years ago, the dynasty was in turmoil. By the end of Dakun, there was a generation who could not survive and all devoted themselves to the world, which led to the prosperity of martial arts today.
Emperor Longqing led the barbarians to invade and slaughter the world bloody, continuing the national destiny of the Dakun Dynasty, but it still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
If the system does not reform, the court does not change its laws, and follows the old path, it will not take many years before Da Kun will still be destroyed.
If you encounter an emperor who implements harsh policies and is ruthless, a new dynasty will be replaced within twenty years.
Seeing Zhang Wu dazed and dazed, Hutubao reminded:
"Uncle Jiu, you should find a way to hide as well. Those officials are about to find this alley. Are you going to serve?"
“…It is impossible to serve, it is impossible in this life.”
Zhang Wu shook his head firmly.
After traveling through time, he was still squeezed by the ruler. What's the point of wearing it?
Even if you do not serve, the court will arrest an innocent person and suffer for you.
However, the world is so cruel. If you die, the fellow Taoists will not die. If the poor are born, the strong will live and the weak will die. There is no reason to say.
The Virgin Heart could not survive in ancient times.
Because from top to bottom, they are oppressing, either climbing up or waiting to be peeled to death.
If you are soft-hearted, you might as well submit to your own service and submit to others. They will definitely be grateful to you, and then watch you be exploited to death, and the one who is glad to die is not yourself.
"Uncle Jiu, you don't serve and don't hide..."
Hutubao asked with a pout:
"Are you going to make money?"
A large family member does not serve labor, and pays money to repay labor.
However, this approach is very despicable in the world and will be regarded as a compromise and submission to the government's exploitation.
It's very bad when it spreads.
Hutubao was not too short of money, but he would rather run away and hide than pay for the labor.
