The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 247 Dealing with Zu Ti

Liu Tai took care of Shi Le, and Liu Tai immediately sent someone to find Zhou Ping.

"I've met the king!" Zhou Ping was quite excited at the moment. After killing Shi Le, he and others could be considered to have completed the unification of Hebei. This alone made Zhou Ping full of longing for the future. When Liu Tai becomes emperor, he can also Be a prince!
"You stay and follow the rules to seize and ransack the property and fields of the generals who follow Shi Le and the family members, and take in the corvees and prisoners. As for how to deal with it specifically, wait until I come back to deal with it!" Liu Taidao said.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Ji County?!" Zhou Ping reacted immediately after hearing Liu Tai's words.

"Yes!" Liu Tai nodded, "That guy Zu Ti is really troublesome. Without him, I would have taken over Luoyang Chang'an.

But because of him, we are afraid that we will have to stop north of the Yellow River this time.

After all, ice floes have appeared in Zhangshui in the morning. If it snows, our food routes will not be guaranteed! "

When Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but clench his fists and looked at Zu Ti, who was really annoyed.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but said: "General, please rest assured that I will handle matters in Yecheng according to past rules.

Anyone from aristocratic and wealthy families who take refuge with Shi Le to deal with us will have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated. We will never show mercy.

As for the local wealthy families or Wubao owners, they are willing to accept the "Qiantian Tax" and "Corvee Tax" to appease them.

If you are unwilling to accept our system, we will naturally not be polite! "

"Yeah!" Liu Tai nodded, "By the way, when Yecheng is a little more settled, you can choose a time.

All the foreign officials and soldiers of the ninth rank and above who had served Shi Le were given heavy cuffs and asked to walk around Ye City. The people of Ye City were told to treat these officials before the aliens completed their circle around Ye City. Nothing is illegal.

You can repay them for how they bullied you in the first place, including killing them!
Because since they did not choose to surrender or rise up on the battlefield, they were willing to become Zhao officials, so they would naturally be punished.

Of course, after this journey, I will let go of the mistakes they made in the previous dynasty and the punishment they received.

After all, if you go down this road and you are guilty, the people will naturally punish you. Since you are not dead, it means that the crime is not worthy of death! "

"Is this good?" Zhou Ping couldn't help being stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words, and said, "There will be a big trouble!

Moreover, there are many officials from aristocratic families among them. If the killings start, no one will be able to complete the entire journey! "

"Just send an army to watch. If they all die, they deserve to die!" Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping and explained,

"Don't you understand? For the Han Dynasty, it was the aristocratic family that occupied the land, mastered the knowledge, and controlled the up and down channels, so that talents like you could not enter the court, which led to the destruction of the Han Dynasty.

In this case, if we want to re-establish the court, we can use the power of the aristocratic family, but we cannot rely on it.

Is it like the dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty that we have to go through again?

The most important thing is that we only punish officials who are dependent on Zhao, and we also hope that he can survive.

As a result, I was beaten to death by an unknown civilian, which is a pity for me! "Liu Tai's eyes were full of helplessness.

In contrast, Zhou Ping and others are now rejoicing at defeating Shi Le, but for Liu Tai, they need to prepare for the relocation of the government.

Now that Guanggu City has just been built, it is naturally good, but the question is that the next goal should be to prepare for the Central Plains.

The remote location of Guanggu City is naturally inappropriate, and Yecheng is the best place to govern the Central Plains in the future.

But although Yecheng has some foundations, because of the war, it is impossible for the people at the bottom not to have resentment against them.

In addition, after he moves into Yecheng, the first batch of people to get the land will definitely be his soldiers.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as invading the interests of local people. As for the dividends gained from being a governance place, it is actually relatively far away.

It is certain that for a period of time, the people's resentment against themselves will be difficult to eliminate.

Therefore, I also need to create a target to let them vent their grievances, and then accept my rule, then their resistance to me will be reduced a lot.

Of course, Liu Tai also understood that his approach would definitely make the family quite resistant.

For the aristocratic families of this era, most of them no longer treat the people at the bottom as human beings.

Therefore, I must let them understand that my base is not you aristocratic families, but the common people you look down upon.

Either you cooperate with yourself or you are destroyed by yourself!
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, aristocratic families no longer regarded common people as human beings. The aristocratic families in the north were better off. Because of the severe harm caused by alien races, most of the aristocratic families learned to adapt. Compared with the aristocratic families who fled to the south, in fact, their status Much softer.

After all, a family that can even cooperate with Shihu, how hard can their bones be?

At least Liu Tai did not specifically target the aristocratic families, but only punished the traitors of the Han Dynasty. He punished the aristocratic families casually, which would definitely be acceptable to the vast majority of the northern aristocratic families.

This is also the reason why the five families and Qiwang are all northern aristocratic families. Relatively speaking, the southern aristocratic families are much more stubborn.

Liu Tai felt that he wanted to completely eliminate the Southern Family, but he was afraid that they would have to pay a bloody price. For example, a certain general of the universe inflicted heavy losses on the Southern Family. Of course, compared with his junior Huang, it was still far behind.

"The general knows it!" After hearing Liu Tai's words, Zhou Ping saluted Liu Tai.

Liu Tai nodded. How to train the family was a matter for the future. Compared with the Jie family, he was reasonable.

After Liu Tai finished giving instructions to Zhou Ping, he frowned slightly and walked slowly to the Internal Affairs Department, which handles internal affairs. Inside, Xi Jian and Wen Qiao were sorting through various information in Ye City.

As for governance, of course, we haven't started yet. At least we need to take stock of how much wealth Shi Le has left for us, so that we can carry out governance according to local conditions.

Moreover, the raids on the homes of aristocratic families also need to be carried out one by one based on this information.

Seeing the hesitation on Liu Tai's face, Xi Jian and Wen Qiao, who were accompanying Liu Tai on official duties, looked at each other.

Xi Jian took a step forward decisively and said to Liu Tai, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to capture Yecheng and gain all the land in Hebei. Why are you so frowning? I wonder if you can talk to me in detail about your troubles."

When Liu Tai saw Xi Jian coming to ask questions, he couldn't help but said: "I'm not worried about Yecheng. With your help, I can naturally sort out the affairs in Yecheng."

What really bothers me is Zu Ti. Without Zu Ti, I would definitely jump across the Yellow River and conquer the old capital of the Han Dynasty.

But if I do this now, not only will our troops be diluted, but our food and fodder will also be unsustainable.So we can only stop at Hebei, which is a pity! "

"Your Majesty, is it a pity that you didn't take Luoyang, or is it a pity that Zu Ti will take Luoyang!" Xi Jian said with a smile on his face.

"The goal of our dispatch this time is only Yecheng. If we defeat Liu Yao easily, we can more or less win Longwang Shu!" Liu Tai said to Xi Jian, "I just want to get Luoyang. Do you want me to put Liu Yao back?"

"Although Liu Yao is not a king, he is still a fierce general in the world. If he is released, it will be like letting the tiger go home!" Xi Jian said to Liu Tai,
"But let him write a letter and give it to Zhao Guo, who is currently in chaos, to stabilize people's hearts. I believe he is still willing to do it!"

"Even if Zhao Guo settles down, can it resist Zu Ti!?" Liu Tai couldn't help but worry.

"Whether Zhao can survive or not, for us, letting Zu Ti grow bigger is not necessarily a bad thing!" Xi Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Tai couldn't help but touch his chin when he heard Xi Jian's words, and then said:

"It seems that you are not worried about Zu Ti marching into Luoyang and then declaring independence as king!"

To be honest, Liu Tai felt that Zu Ti would not be king. That was because he came from a later generation. With more exposure to this era, he knew clearly that Zu Ti and Liu Kun were the two protagonists in "Dancing upon the Rooster".

Therefore, Liu Tai believes that the guy who can sing in Chinese language books must not have a positive role in history.

Otherwise, even people like Yue Fei would have been expelled from the list of national heroes. Even if people had not started to advocate Ran Min as a new Han hero, there is no fear that he would never be a national hero.

After all, Yue Fei, who only resisted the Jin Dynasty, compared to Ran Min, who issued the order to kill Hu, Yue Fei still has great united front value.

Liu Tai didn't know Ran Min, because his father Ran Liang was still alive, so Ran Min had not been recognized as an adopted son by Shi Le, so he was not among the ten clans to be executed.

The man named Shi Hu was Shi Le's nephew, so he would naturally be killed when the Nine Tribes were executed, but the execution had not yet been carried out.

Liu Tai didn't think there was anything special about Shi Hu. After all, Shi Hu didn't have any amazing results at this time. He just regarded him as a relative who was hanging out with Shi Hu. If he was killed, he would be killed!
Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words and replied calmly: "If Zu Ti becomes big, Sima Rui and Director Wang will be beyond their reach, and they will not be able to let Zu Ti destroy the country.

Otherwise, wouldn't they be afraid of repeating Zhong Hui's incident? You must know that Zu Ti is not Zhong Hui, he is a prince who dominates the Central Plains! "

"Well, we can't continue this battle, so we can only hope that the Sima family can retreat!" Liu Tai sighed.

Soon, Liu Tai found Liu Yao, who had been imprisoned. He lived in a sunny prison and lived very cleanly.

At this time, Liu Tai wanted to stabilize the Zhao State and resist Zu Ti, so he needed to obtain a letter from Liu Yao regarding the heir, so that the current Zhao State court would at least have a backbone.

"What do you want to do!" When Liu Yao heard Liu Tai's words, he instinctively became vigilant.

After all, Liu Tai was suddenly so kind to him. If Liu Yao didn't murmur in his heart, no one would believe it.

"You were defeated by me, and Shi Le died in battle. Do you think Zu Ti will come to hurt me?
Although you have established your own Kingdom of Zhao, this is the territory of the Han Dynasty. How can you let Zu Ti seize it so easily? Liu Tai said calmly,

"Seeing as we are in the same family tree, don't say I didn't give you a chance!
At least everyone's surname is Liu. Although you have violated your ancestors, I am soft-hearted. After all, we are all members of the Han clan, right? !

I don't have any other advantages, except that I can't bear to be bullied by my own hands. Of course, it's up to you to believe it or not. "

Liu Yao couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard Liu Tai's words. Although he didn't believe a word, he was sure that Liu Tai wanted to support Zhao Guo at least now.

But in the end, looking at the paper and pen Liu Tai put in front of him, he thought to himself that he would not say anything good to Liu Tai, but it was right to encourage Zhao Guo no matter what.

Moreover, Liu Yao also understood that his defeat this time would definitely cause turmoil in the Zhao Kingdom.

Although Yang Xianrong assisted him in handling government affairs, he and his son were still young and would definitely not be able to secure the throne.

This letter of his could at least give Yang Xianrong's son legal support, so Liu Yao gritted his teeth and wrote this letter.

At least at this stage, Liu Tai's interests are the same as his own, so he still gave this letter to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai looked calm after receiving the letter. He added a sentence to it and asked Cui Yue to go to Zhao as an envoy to deliver this decree to Chang'an.

As for Liu Yao, of course he continues to be imprisoned. Again, the living Liu Yao is much more valuable than the dead Liu Yao.

Liu Tai didn't stay in Yecheng for long. When he almost saw that the situation in Yecheng was slightly stable, he dispatched the Yueqi battalion, Tunqi battalion and heavy cavalry battalion and his headquarters to head towards Jishui. After all, Zu Ti still needed to be solved.

When Liu Tai led the cavalry back to Jishui, Wang Sang took Gaoliang and Xu Miao to salute Liu Tai.

"I've met the king, but Yecheng has been successfully captured?" Wang Sang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Liu Tai arriving.

Although Wang Sang had already made some predictions after seeing Liu Tai coming so calmly this time, no matter how he said it, it would be a good thing to confirm this matter with Liu Tai.

"Ye City has been destroyed and Shi Le is dead!" Liu Tai said, "The most important thing now is to retreat from Zu Ti. What's going on on the other side?"

"What Wang Bingfeng points to is naturally indestructible!" Wang Sang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a solemn expression,

"Zu Ti has accumulated a large number of troops on the other side of the river. If a fight breaks out, it will be a brutal fight. As the weather gradually gets cooler, although it has not snowed yet, thin ice has appeared on the bank of the Yellow River. Maybe only a snowfall is needed to stop the enemy. The Yellow River is freezing!"

"It's a pity that Liu Zun and Liu Qun are fighting with Zhao An in Bingzhou, otherwise they could have become envoys to meet Zu Ti and send me a message!" Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Wang Ming, Wang Sang's son, stood up and said, "Your Majesty dislikes me, the Wang family, for not being brave. Wang Ming is willing to make an envoy for this!"

"Don't be joking!" When Liu Tai heard Wang Ming's words, he couldn't help but look at Wang Sang and motioned for him to come out and smooth things over.

Wang Sang hesitated for a moment, thinking that if it happened this time, his son would naturally be remembered by Liu Tai, and his wealth would be stable.

If it doesn't work, his son's life will be at stake, but his Wang family will definitely be able to enjoy the legacy. Anyway, he is not just his son, so he might as well give it a try!

So Wang Sang took a deep breath and said: "Please, Your Majesty, Chengquan Xiao'er, anyone can go as an envoy, why can't I, Wang's son, go!"

"I understand, then let you carry my will and go as an envoy to Zu Ti!" Liu Tai looked at Wang Mingdao.

"The end will obey orders!"
