Jiang Siming had already figured out the ins and outs, and the next step was much simpler. He would kill everyone in Jiping's family, including the bribed guards.
As for Liu Xie, Jiang Siming has not planned to touch him yet, but not killing him does not mean that Jiang Siming will not collect some interest.
"Call to the imperial kitchen, starting from today, your majesty's food will be one meal a day, and you can only eat one bowl of rice porridge and one steamed bun every day. The queen doesn't care. If anyone dares to give him more food, his head will fall to the ground.
Including the Queen.”
Jiang Siming discovered that he had been too polite to Liu Xie in the past. As a prisoner, he was provided with delicacies from the mountains and seas every day.
It seems that Liu Xie has never experienced being abused by Li Jue and Guo Si, and thinks this is natural.
In this case, Jiang Siming will cut off his food and let him experience what real imprisonment is!
Of course, the eunuchs and maids of the palace quickly agreed, and no one dared to offend King Ming.
They were originally arranged by Guo Jia, and they are all his own people.
Jiang Siming nodded, looked at the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty, and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I see that the location of the ancestral temple is not good for feng shui, so demolish it."
"General, I obey!" Guan Yu accepted the order, immediately summoned thousands of Xuanjia troops, and began violent demolition, demolishing the Han ancestral hall to pieces.
Liu Xie woke up from his coma when he heard the noise. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop! This is the tablet of my ancestors. How can you demolish it! Stop!"
Liu Xie shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes red.
But no one listened to him and continued to demolish the ancestral hall.
"Prince Ming, please tell them to stop, okay? I beg you." Liu Xie could only beg Jiang Siming for mercy.
A generation of emperors had to condescend to ask for favors. Liu Xie was already numb.
Jiang Siming's expression was indifferent and he asked Liu Xie: "If I were poisoned to death today, would you let go of my family and close relatives? I just demolished your ancestral hall, and I have already been very kind to you. If you talk more, I will let you go."
You taste what it’s like to have your clan exterminated!”
Liu Xie immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak again.
I could only watch helplessly as the ancestral hall was smashed and destroyed, and the highest hanging memorial tablet of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was also smashed down.
Just when the plaque was smashed down, the drizzle in the sky suddenly turned into a heavy rain.
Over the palace, bursts of thunderous sounds could be heard, as if they were venting their anger against Jiang Siming.
"Could it be that... Gaozu's spirit appeared?" Liu Xie thought excitedly. As soon as Gaozu's tablet fell, thunder appeared in the sky. This was obviously the spirit of Gaozu who was angry in the sky.
At this time, Liu Xie really hoped that a thunder would fall from the sky and kill Jiang Siming!
But the next second, Liu Xie was stunned.
I saw Jiang Siming looking up at the thunderous sky with a disdainful and unruly look.
After watching for a while, Jiang Siming suddenly shouted to the sky: "Shut up!"
Something magical happened. The thunder in the sky disappeared at this moment, and even the rain stopped.
Everyone was shocked and speechless when they saw this scene. King Ming's words scared the hell out of him.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.
"My lord is indeed the chosen one. The Han Dynasty is about to go away and a new dynasty is about to be created, haha." Guo Jia laughed happily.
Other generals and counselors were also overjoyed.
Only Liu Xie's eyes were dull and he couldn't say a word. His heart was filled with despair and helplessness that he had never experienced before.
Can he really help the Han Dynasty? Can he really escape from the sea of suffering?
After Jiang Siming said those words, he turned around and left.
The other generals and ministers also left one after another. Only Xun Yu looked at Liu Xie and then at the ancestral hall.
He sighed somewhat complicatedly: "Emperor of the Han Dynasty, if I had known this, why would you have committed a sin by trying to murder him when King Ming was already extremely benevolent and righteous to you?"
After saying that, Xun Yu turned and left without any mercy.
When Jiang Siming returned to the palace, he immediately summoned his advisers and generals and decided to set out soon to attack the Five-Road Alliance!
Since the opponent likes to make small moves so much, and Jiang Siming seems cowardly if he doesn't take the move, then let's just have a decisive battle to win the world!
In this battle, Jiang Siming has only one request: to unify the Han Dynasty!
Such a goal not only did not make subordinates feel unfulfilled, but everyone felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Because they know that with the Lord's current strength, it is completely possible to achieve this goal.
Let’s talk about military strength first. Jiang Siming’s six prefectures and counties have a total of more than one million troops.
Cao Cao only had 400,000 at most, Jiangdong 200,000, Liu Biao 100,000, Gongsun Zan 100,000, and Liu Bei 120,000.
These people combined do not have as many troops as Jiang Siming.
Let’s talk about grain and grass. In the past three years, crops such as potatoes and corn have been introduced, coupled with the farming system and the policy of renting land to farmers.
In other words, Jiang Siming divided the land among farmers and rented it to them to grow their own crops. Thirty percent of the income from each harvest was returned to Jiang Siming to repay the lease fees.
Everything else is privately owned by farmers. As long as you are willing to return the prescribed grain every year, this field will always be theirs.
Instead of being ruled by the gentry like before, the farmers were treated as handymen and asked to plow the fields every day.
They only care about food and clothing, and do not give them wages or surplus food at all.
As soon as this policy came out, countless people cried. This was the first time in ancient Chinese history that people could own their own land.
With this policy, the people's enthusiasm for planting was unprecedentedly high. In three years, tens of millions of stones of grain were sent to Jiang Siming's granary and treasury.
This food, even if it supplies an army of one million people, can supply them for ten years.
In terms of equipment, the arsenal and science academy established by Jiang Siming three years ago have updated weapons and equipment for Jiang Siming's soldiers with each generation becoming stronger and stronger.
First comes the armor. The armor of other princes is still at a level that can only protect against slight cuts by swords. However, the armor of Jiang Siming's soldiers can already be cut with heavy swords without leaving any trace.
The arrow sinks in a little bit.
The knives, guns, swords and crossbows used by soldiers are all made by Huang Chengyan of the Academy of Sciences. They have been improved and updated, and are several times stronger than ordinary swords and guns!
Finally, in terms of talent, among the five alliances combined, there are only two top players.
Cao Cao's Xu Chu, and Ma Chao who took refuge with Liu Bei.
Among the other top ten warriors in the previous world's best martial arts tournament, Lu Bu died, Sun Ce died, and Yan Liang also died.
Others Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Wang Yue were all Jiang Siming's people.
Only these two top ten players are left.
There are also Pang De and Gan Ning who have taken refuge in Jiangdong, but both of them are first-rate warriors, a little short of the top.
In terms of counselors, Jiang Siming has four top counselors: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xu Shu.
In the Five-Road Alliance, there are only Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang. If Zhou Yu is included, there are only three.
So in this comparison, Jiang Siming wins in every aspect!
However, a battle of this level that is as shocking as ghosts and gods requires a lot of planning and preparation, and it will not start until at least next month.
Jiang Siming also took the opportunity to temporarily return to reality.
Next time you go in, you must dominate the world!
