Chapter 813 Blasting the Old Clan

Relevant news kept coming out, and news about Liu Bei's strong fertility and the number of heirs spread all over the world. Everyone knew that while Liu Bei was busy with government affairs, he was also very concerned about his "political tasks" and worked very hard.

So the ten sons were alive and kicking, which basically guaranteed that Liu Bei's son would inherit the throne after Liu Bei, stabilizing the political interests of the big guys and stabilizing the power inheritance of the Third Reich.

So this matter is also a strong boost to this time's policy of blasting the clan system.

Because they have confidence in the power to defend the royal family in the future, the courtiers are also happy to see it succeed. Anyway, Liu Xiu’s family is no longer the royal family.

Not to mention that these guys still want to rebel and restore the Second Empire.

Can you promise this?

You are restored, I am buried, and I can make you willing?

Officials in power in the court and the army supported this, so this policy was quickly promoted.

While the imperial court was implementing the Dutian Order, because the army had already started full-scale operations, it was a simple matter to deploy part of the army to perform related tasks.

Zhao State and Ganling State have become Zhao County and Qinghe County, and the next step is to take full-scale actions against other feudal states.

Jizhou is the administrative state of the Han Dynasty with the most closed states. In addition to Zhao State and Ganling State, the four states Zhongshan State, Changshan State, Hejian State, and Anping State were also investigated by the imperial court.

Because of the cooperation of the kingdoms and the quick action, the kings and clans of the four countries were completely controlled by the imperial army without any preparations.

Then, based on a series of investigations and rummaging through investigations, the former Ganling King Liu Zhong's "Conquest against the False Emperor" was found from the Hejian Palace and the Anping Palace. Now, the King of Hejian and the King of Anping jumped into the Yellow River I can't even wash it off.

They were taken back to Luoyang by the whole family for further interrogation and investigation.

The Zhongshan Wang family and the Chang Shan Wang family will stay there and accept the next judicial investigation to see if they have violated the law. If they have, they will also be questioned. He is the county marquis, and then sent to Jiaozhou to be his county marquis.

The four princes were taken down without any ability to resist, and apart from these four princes and Liu Xie, the rest of the royal family's near branch Marquis were also under full control and investigation by the government to see if they were in harmony with Liu Zhong and Liu Xie. If there is any connection with Amnesty Group, it will also be sent to Luoyang for investigation.

After a preliminary investigation, it was found that there were Liu Zhong's proclamations in five Liu's Liehou's mansions, so they were taken as evidence and the five families were escorted to Luoyang for trial.

After a series of actions, Liu Bei uprooted the clan power of the Second Empire in Jizhou. Not only the royal family itself, but also some servant families around them were also controlled. If it is confirmed that they were involved in the rebellion, one If you are innocent, that's fine, let's go to Jiaozhou to live.

Because the clan in Jizhou is too powerful, it takes more time to act.

In the Central Plains, there are fourteen states including Chen State, Liang State, Pei State, Jibei State, Dongping State, Jinan State, Le'an State, Beihai State, Qi State, Lu State, Rencheng State, Langya State, Pengcheng State, and Xiapi State. , are basically fertile lands and important grain-producing areas, which are the product of Liu Xiu's love and care when he was enfeoffed.

To be honest, not to mention that the emperor did such a thing, Liu Xiu's personal character is really quite good.

While being an emperor, he is indeed a gentle and kind father. He even does a good job as a husband. He is a rare man who can take care of multiple identities at the same time.

The abandoned prince is generally a very embarrassing identity. Basically, if he becomes the abandoned prince, this person basically announces that he has sent it. However, Liu Xiu's abandoned prince Liu Jiang is alive and well, and finally became the king of the East China Sea, which is Liu Yu's ancestor. .

Abandoned empress is generally a terrible word. If any woman becomes an abolished empress, she will basically send it, even her natal family must send it together, but Liu Xiu's abolished empress Guo Shengtong and the Guo family still maintain a considerable degree of respect. Rong.

It can be said that the palace battles involving the heirs in the past dynasties were bloody and brutal, and the fighting among family members was also quite terrifying and fierce. However, in Liu Xiu's era, all this became a rare exception.

Despite this, Liu Bei agrees with Liu Xiu's gentleness and kindness, but he still wants to make a change to everything he left behind.

He didn't want too many children of the royal family lying in the fat land of the Central Plains to suck blood and gnaw their money. In his vision, the children of the royal family should go to the most dangerous places to expand their territories. If the children of the royal family can't take the lead in action, how to drive The people of the world go to dangerous places to open up territories and compete for living space?
The reason why the Zhou people were able to promote the great development of the Central Plains was also because a large number of clan children and heroic officials went there together. Some clan children played a leading role, and others were hard to say.

Liu Bei felt that he could do what Zhou people could do. Although it took a certain amount of effort, he felt that it was all worth it.

Therefore, while investigating the Zongwang and controlling the clan, Liu Bei also ordered that all the feudal states of the Han Dynasty be removed and all be changed to a county-level organizational system. For quite a long time, there will be no more feudal states and state ministers.

After investigation, the clans of the Second Empire who are clean will be assigned to Jiaozhou. Clans with relatively minor crimes will be demoted to Jiaozhou. Those with serious crimes will lose their titles and become ordinary people and commit treason. There is nothing to say, just kill it.

Except for Liu Xie, who is still a county lord in Jizhou because of his special status and enjoys honor, the other near-branch clans surnamed Liu have all left the rich lands of Hebei and Central Plains.

At the peak of the war caused by the Dutian Order, that is, in July of the first year of Zhenguan, this matter was implemented under the leadership of Liu Bei.

Of course, not all the clan kings and clans honestly admit their cowardice and fall. Some clans knew they had a problem, so after learning of the court's actions, they directly announced the rebellion.

For example, King Rencheng and King Pengcheng joined forces and formed a team of nearly [-] people. They said that Liu Bei had usurped power and the throne, and now he finally revealed his true colors.

Cao Ren, the general of the Yingyang Army, happened to settle the matter in Bohai County at that time, and returned to the Central Plains garrison. When he learned of this on the way back, he directly led his troops to turn around and go south to suppress the rebellion.

On July 23, the first year of Zhenguan, Cao Ren led troops to attack Rencheng State, defeated Rencheng King's team near Rencheng County, and soon conquered Rencheng, captured the entire family of Rencheng King, and escorted Luoyang.

This guy had a loud voice, but his hand skills were weak, and he was dealt with by Cao Ren. He couldn't hold on for three days before the whole army collapsed.

King Pengcheng was able to hold on a little bit, and fought a battle with Cao Ren in Liu County. He persisted for three days, was defeated by Cao Ren, and was chased to Pengcheng by Cao Ren. The army besieged the city and exerted extreme pressure.

In the end, a military officer who turned against the battle appeared in the city, and led an army to hold King Pengcheng hostage, forcing him to open the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city, so King Pengcheng also sent it.

The counter-insurgency time is seven days.

In the ten days before and after, Cao Ren gave full play to his subjective initiative and quelled the rebellion of the two Zongwangs. Along the way, he eliminated a large number of unruly people and stabilized the situation of Rencheng and Pengcheng.

As for the rebellions initiated by some Jinzhi Liehou families in other places, no one responded, or they were wiped out by the army and those who opposed the Dutian Order before.

Against the background of the Dutian Order's great rebellion, the resistance trend of King Bozong and Jinzhi Liehou was quickly resolved by armies from all over the country, and the person in charge of the Central Plains Military Region who contributed the most was Xu Huang and his team. subordinates.

Only a few Zongwangs in Yuzhou were captured by the Central Military Region's troops.

In order to fight for these places to go out to fight, the generals of the various armies fought each other, smashing tables and benches. In the end, Xun You intervened and proposed a lottery method to decide who would attack, which was unanimously approved by everyone.

Those who were caught were ecstatic, while those who were not caught were annoyed and wanted to die.

But there is no way, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat, losers do not lose, I can't make people look down on my professional ethics.

Limited exploits but too many fighters is sometimes a sweet annoyance.

In July of the first year of Zhenguan, the whole world was not stable. There were rebellions in all major military regions, and the world was in a state of vigorous vitality. It's the end.

Because one of them has no strength and can't fight anymore.

The 30 troops that Liu Bei has worked so hard to train for many years are really powerful. No rebel army in the world can go through the time of two sticks of incense in their hands. A rebel army can fight back and forth with them, evenly divided.

It's not that they don't work hard, but that Liu Bei gave too much, invested so much money, and for the first time stipulated in the legal sense that the imperial court's allocation of military expenses is a legal obligation. great thing.

The best weapons and equipment, the best logistics supplies, if you are facing a group of enemies that only a few people can equip with knives and armor, if you can't win a record of [-]:[-], [-], or even [-]:[-], Liu Bei They all felt that those people should be thrown directly to the military court, so that Zhi Jinwu could have a good trial to see if they were planning to support the bandits.

That's not normal!

Fortunately, under Liu Bei's management for many years, this army did not have such a situation, at most it was fighting for credit, and it was normal to care more about credit.

As a result, the war triggered by the Dutian Order gradually came to an end. The local power went from the beginning of June to its heyday in July and then to its collapse in August. Under the repression of the regular army, it became history.

In this anti-insurgency war, all the armies from all over the world together achieved more than 1000 enemies, captured more than [-], and released more than [-] million slaves. A group of human residues, and basically solved the problem of the [-] million or so slave population left over from the Second Empire.

Solved by physical means.

It can be said that this war brought some economic blows to the Third Reich. For example, in southern Jizhou and northern Jingzhou, because of the large number of thieves, it caused relatively large economic losses and some people were displaced.

But on the whole, this war that was supposed to burn every inch of the country has turned into a partial counter-insurgency war under Liu Bei's years of preparation. The rebellion in any one area has not been able to achieve linkage with the rebellion in other areas. The military effect made this war a completely separate battle for the rebels.

Originally, the rebel army was far inferior to the Han army in terms of strength. It was difficult to win tactically, and they fell into the dilemma of fighting each other strategically. It has become an expected thing, but the length of time still needs to be discussed.

Not only that, while solving the group of diehards who were unwilling to pay taxes, Liu Bei also solved the clan group, one of the major hidden dangers of the Third Reich.

Because of Liu She and Liu Zhong's self-explosion in rebellion, it aroused the collective anxiety of the meritorious group of the Third Reich towards the clan group, which in turn triggered a major reaction from the Luoyang court, which determined the court's liquidation action against the old clan group.

Under the cover of the Dutian decree, the liquidation of the clan group has been mixed with some economic factors from a purely political issue, and has been smoothly transformed into a military issue, so Liu Bei, who has an absolute military advantage, used it to solve the military issue. The method is solved, it can only be said that the timing is ingenious and wonderful.

One action solved two important hostile groups. The negative status buff left by the Second Reich to the Third Reich has been solved by the Third Reich under the effect of a decree.

On August 25th, the first year of Zhenguan, as the last enemy army in the Xiangyang area of ​​Jingzhou was successfully wiped out by Wei Yan, the chaos brought about by the Dutian decree was actually over, and the next step was the relatively long post-war finishing work and resumption of production Work.

During this operation, the vacant official positions due to various reasons also need a large number of newcomers to fill, so in the next period of time, the Luoyang court controlled by Liu Bei will enter a period of [-] sweatshop operation The cycle is over.

However, this is a cycle of happiness, a cycle of happiness, and a cycle in which all enemies are phased out. In Liu Bei's view, seizing this cycle and promoting the establishment of advanced production relations and productivity will be of great help to the entire Third Reich. Each stage of development is extremely important.

Moreover, the problems exposed in this operation, as well as the achievements of the successful promotion of various policies, can be comprehensively summarized, and then targeted corrections and advancements can be made.

The most typical problem is that poor people in areas where collective farms have not been fully developed are deceived and coerced into joining the rebels and the imperial court.

The biggest achievement is the great success of Guan Yu's river maneuvering and flow tactical system promoted in the Jiangnan area.
