Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 513 Competing in the Central Plains (41)

In the end, the village still chose to give in, collecting ten cows from house to house, and those who didn’t have any cattle were responsible for producing women, and those who didn’t have women, they were responsible for producing food. It was finally enough to make a reasonable burden.

This reasonable burden also has another name "Liao Pay".

When you don't want to pay Liao's salary, Liao's salary will take the initiative to approach you, and there are always various ways for you to pay.

After receiving enough "Liao pay", the looting team left here and returned to Huang County with the loot.

Before leaving, according to regulations, the raiding team appointed Hou Jing as the [Liao Salary Envoy] of the village named "Yangtouling", and gave Hou Jing a wooden board with the number "008" written on it. It means the Liaoxian village numbered 008.

"Only the first payment of Liao's salary is relatively large, and it is relatively light after that. It is only collected once a year." The robbery team smiled at the villagers of Yangtouling: "From now on, you will be free from the raids of the robbery team." Harassment."

After all, the robbery team left, and everyone was very happy.

After Hou Jing became 008 [Liao Pay Envoy], he ate and drank in the village every day, until another three days later, another raiding team passing by found the village and threatened the villagers: "Hand over the Liao Pay, you can avoid the disaster of swordsman."

At this time, Hou Jing stood up and showed his [Liao Pay Envoy] token.

"It turns out that you have already paid Liao's salary, that's good." A small team leader said comfortingly.

However, the captain still wanted to plunder the village.

Seeing this, Hou Jing trembled.

Another team leader on the side dissuaded: "Have you forgotten Jun Yan's order? As long as you pay Liao's salary, you are a good citizen, and those who harm a good citizen will be killed without mercy!"

The main role of the squad leader is to monitor the squad leader and prevent him from disobeying military orders.

The captain had no choice but to leave Yangtouling and continue to look for other villages.

Finally, let him find a village that resisted stubbornly and would rather fight to the end than hand over Liao's salary.

The soldiers were overjoyed and couldn't hold back anymore.

"To be against our country of Yan is to seek their own death. According to Yan Jun's order, those who resist the corner will not be spared and can be killed at will." , and now encourages the soldiers to wantonly slaughter this village that refuses to pay Liao's salary.

Afterwards, a hundred light cavalry charged into the village, slaughtering all standing, men, women and children.

"kill!"

"Those who resist in the corner, die!"

The houses in the village were set on fire, the raging fire was burning, and various miserable cries came out.

A young man tried to resist with a hoe in his hand, but a knight rushed up behind him and slashed him on the back of the neck.

"Uh--"

The young man fell to the ground, dying. Before he died, he saw the robbery team forcibly tying up his sister, loading her into a horse-drawn prison cart and taking her away.

Similar tragedies are being staged throughout the Central Plains University.

The officers and soldiers of the State of Wei wanted to rob, the rebel insurgents wanted to rob, the independent Hu people armed forces wanted to rob, the troops of the Liang State in the Northern Expedition wanted to rob, the allied troops who came to suppress the rebellion wanted to rob, and even the neighbors next door wanted to rob. .

This is not the crime of one person, but the crime of the whole age.

What is troubled times?This is called troubled times!

You never know at whose hands you will die, the order is completely broken, and anyone can be a victim and a perpetrator at the same time.

It doesn't mean that there are a bunch of princes and warlords leading the army to fight for hegemony, it is called troubled times, this is just the most superficial phenomenon.

The real chaos is the complete collapse of order. People never know whether they will see the sun tomorrow.

The first emperor killed so many people that he didn't allow others to discuss his own right and wrong, and deliberately tortured and consumed the energy of the people, so that the leaders of Guizhou had no extra energy to think about it.

The few taxes that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty increased at will caused millions of refugees in the Central Plains, and as many as one million people died of starvation.

Wang Mang's self-righteous retro reforms led to tens of millions of refugees, and eventually the country was destroyed.

Liu Xiu, known as the perfect emperor, indulged his generals in slaughtering the city.

Emperor Han Ling waved his hand to build several palaces to enjoy, and immediately displaced millions of farmers.

Cao Cao casually issued a robbery order, and hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou people became corpses.

Yuan Shao's Southern Expedition regardless of people's livelihood brought more than one million refugees.

Gongsun Zan's iron cavalry criss-crossed Hebei, killing more than [-] civilians.

Liu Xuande, who has a benevolent style, minted a hundred coins and took away the wealth of the people without any scruples.

Sun Quan repeatedly made northern expeditions to Hefei, and each time he had to slaughter around Hefei to reduce the background of the Central Plains.

Deng Ai's army sneaked into Yinping and captured Chengdu, but then slaughtered and plundered Chengdu.

Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhaosan and his son, every time they quelled a rebellion, they had to slaughter the local people along the way to prevent the local people from missing the old master.

The emperor's relatives and aristocratic families of the Eight Kings Rebellion regarded court ladies as food and ordinary people as spare rations. What about their literati's character?

The five Huren warlords who were chaotic in China, slaughtered countless people.

Huanwen's previous Northern Expeditions made the people of the Central Plains miserable.

Liu Jun, the emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, even regarded the slaughter of ordinary people in his own country as an honor to show off.

Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liang Kingdom, believed in Buddhism. He always indulged the clan family to make mistakes again and again, and took in traitors from the Northern Dynasty one after another, which was called "mercy" by later generations. However, if the people under his rule complained, he would slaughter the whole family .

The "borrowing captives to suppress the bandits" by Queen Mother Hu of Wei State brought tens of millions of people in the Central Plains into fish and meat.

A small policy change by the ruling class can change the fate of countless people.

What needs to be changed is not a certain person or a certain country, but the entire era.

The soldiers of the looting team raped the girls in the village, and then tied them up and brought them back to Huang County as their own spoils. In this way, they could get points, which could be exchanged for glory and wealth in the future.

They don't feel that there is anything wrong with doing it. Everyone else is doing it. I just did what most people are doing in this era. What's wrong?

All the rebels have been killed, and only some kneeling and surrendering people are left. They are forgiven, allowed to be trophies, and will be tied up and escorted to Huang County.

"Your allegiance to Wei Lu and paying taxes to Wei Lu are all against the people, and their crimes should be punished!"

The captain sneered at the dead villagers.

Yan State called Wei State "Wei Lu" and Liang State "Liang Man".

Wei State called Yan State "Yan Captive" and Liang State "Liang Man".

Liang Guo called Yan Guo "Yan Yi" and Wei Guo "Wei Lu".

Everyone thinks that the other is a barbarian, so everyone is a barbarian.

When you think the other party is a barbarian, the other party also thinks you are a barbarian.
