Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Jia Huan led the army and used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves. In one month, Jiangnan was pacified.

After pacifying Jiangnan, Jia Huan did not immediately send his troops northward, but first established order in Jiangnan.

The first thing to do is to kill the wealthy families and landlords in Jiangnan.

Confiscate their wealth and land, and then distribute all the land equally to the people.

This kind of extreme behavior would have been something no one would have dared to do before the world was in chaos.

Whoever dares to do this will definitely trigger a counterattack from the world's richest families.

Even Emperor Chongkang would not dare to do this.

But now that the world is in chaos and no one cares about this place, Jia Huan dares to let go and do such things.

It can be said that this is the best opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult to establish such an order again.

The next step is to implement the new law.

The new laws are neither numerous nor complicated, and are simple enough that ordinary people can understand them.

Just like in history, Liu Bang entered Xianyang and made an agreement with his father and elders, and the law was three chapters: those who kill will die, and those who hurt others and steal will be punished. Yu Xi removed Qin Fa.

The three chapters of the agreement are difficult and clear, but they are extremely loved by the people.

Jia Huan's style of eradicating aristocratic families made him lose his reputation among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

But among the common people, his reputation rose and his prestige suddenly reached its peak.

In the eyes of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Huan, the number one scholar, is the living master of Qingtian!

He confiscated the land from large households and distributed the land equally to all the people.

After the abolition of labor, the agricultural tax was only one in ten taxes, but the commercial tax was extremely high, and it was also one in ten taxes.

But what does commercial tax have to do with ordinary people? Even if they pay nine out of ten taxes, it has nothing to do with their money.

After pacifying Jiangnan, Jia Huan decided to stabilize the rear area first.

In this way, you can advance, attack, retreat and defend.

Originally, more than 90% of the officials in Jiangnan were corrupt officials, and Jia Huan took them all down.

There were a lot of vacant officials. Fortunately, he opened a school on Haitian Island and trained a group of talents.

This time, it happened to come in handy.

And the vast majority of these talents come from the Mohist family.

There is no way, the schools on Haitian Island are taught by people from the Mo family, and all their children are literate.

Therefore, the learning progress of Mohist disciples is naturally the fastest.

This time when officials were appointed, a large number of Mohist disciples were appointed.

Although there are many Mohist disciples, only a few are officials.

But as long as the army marches all the way into the capital, there will still be many vacant positions.

Sooner or later, they will have the opportunity to become officials.

At this time, the head of the Mo family was extremely happy.

As expected, Jia Huan never deceived her or the Mo family.

Now he has really reused the Mohist disciples.

Presumably in the future, the Mohist family will be further reused.

Of course, if the lord really takes over the world.

Then the existence of Mohism will be downplayed in the future.

After all, if most of the officials in the entire Daxia are from the Mohist family, and the Mohist family is further reused.

Then the power of the Mohist family would be too huge, and it would even reach the point of threatening the imperial power. At that time, it would be a disaster for the Mohist family.

When the time comes, it will be imperative to downplay the Mohists.

But for the Mo family, as long as their craftsmanship can be respected and passed down, it is enough.

Whether they can hold a high position or not is not important anymore.

Capture Jiangnan and win the support of the people. Next, Jia Huan further recruited troops and built warships.

Soon, the total strength reached 150,000.

And 50,000 of them have been replaced with thermal weapons, and their cannons have also been replaced with the latest weapons.

After achieving this step, Jia Huan continued to march north.

Along the way, the rebels encountered crazy obstacles.

Jia Huan's behavior in Jiangnan was so bad that it could be said to have cut off the foundation of the family.

Except for Jiangnan, all other areas of Daxia are currently occupied by aristocratic families.

Naturally, they hated Jia Huan very much, and naturally they were thinking about how to destroy the Jiangnan army.

However, they were completely vulnerable to the Jiangnan army.

No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand the bombardment of cannons.

Moreover, the Jiangnan Rebels not only had cannons, they also had hot air balloons, and they really encountered a very strong and stubborn city.

They can also launch into the air with hot air balloons and then drop bombs in mid-air for aerial strikes.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not on the same level at all.

Jia Huan led the army and rushed forward like a storm.

Within half a year, Jia Huan's army rushed all the way to the Yangtze River.

Since then, half of the land south of the Yangtze River has been brought under Jia Huan's rule.

Next, Jia Huan was not eager for quick success.

Instead, he stopped and continued to digest the territory he had just captured.

It is necessary to stabilize the rear, restore order, and resume production, so that we can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and remain in an invincible position.

Next, naturally, they will continue to attack local tyrants, divide their fields, recruit soldiers and other actions.

Soon, Jia Huan's army reached 200,000.

An army of two hundred thousand may sound like a lot, but it is actually not enough.

Because next, Ning Guo Gong Jia Huan became the public enemy of the world.

The imperial court and various rebels actually joined forces to form an alliance and decided to attack Jia Huan together.

It's no wonder that Jia Huan would become a public enemy. After all, what he did was to dig up the roots of a wealthy family.

For aristocratic families, they would rather have a foreign race take over the Central Plains than Jia Huan.

After all, no matter who becomes the emperor, they need people to do things so that their family can be continued.

Only after Jia Huan wins, they may be able to save their lives, but the family and family industry will definitely not be saved.

Therefore, they joined forces and vowed to eliminate Jia Huan first.

If Jia Huan had sent troops one or two years later, when the world was more chaotic, perhaps he would not have encountered such a thing.

It's just that Jia Huan couldn't see the suffering of the people and sent troops early, so things like this were inevitable.

However, Jia Huan was not afraid. Sending troops early also had the advantage of sending troops early.

At worst, the whole of Daxia will be reprinted again.

In this case, a new order can be established directly.

Next, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

This fierceness meant that Jia Huan's army attacked extremely fiercely, and the enemy was retreating steadily.

The combat effectiveness of both sides is not of the same dimension at all.

Jia Huan's army was a dimensionality reduction attack on them.

This battle lasted for half a year, and the final result was that, except for Shu and the west, all areas south of the Yangtze River belonged to Jia Huan.

The imperial navy was almost completely wiped out, and was beaten to the point where Wen Ning's expression changed.

Next, Jia Huan continued to digest the newly acquired territory.

As for Shu and the west, he has no intention of attacking them for the time being.

At present, the main enemy is still the north and the Kingdom of Jin.

Then, Emperor Zhongxing actually sent an envoy to confer Jia Huan the title of King of Jiangnan, and planned to divide the river with Jia Huan to rule.

Those north of the Yangtze River belonged to the imperial court, and those south of the Yangtze River belonged to Jia Huan.

However, this proposal was decisively rejected by Jia Huan.

Although Jia Huan could have just pretended to agree and then break the agreement.

But who gave him the reputation of Jia Sheng Yi Nuo worth a thousand pieces of gold?

After Emperor Zhongxing learned the news of being rejected by Jia Huan, he became furious in his study room and threatened to send troops across the river to defeat the rebels, capture Jia Huan, and destroy his nine tribes.

But in the end it was just incompetence and rage.

He didn't even dare to attack the Jia family who stayed in the capital.

Because the people in Jia Huan's Ningguo Mansion had already quietly evacuated Ningguo Mansion and went to the south of the Yangtze River.

Those who stayed were all people from Rongguo Mansion.

Catching these people wouldn't pose much of a threat to Jia Huan.

Killing them will only trigger Jia Huan's crazy revenge.

At this point, Emperor Zhongxing could only be helpless and furious.

Because the Jin army he relied on was also frightened by Jia Huan's army and did not dare to fight against it.

After Jia Huan repaired it for a year, all his territories were basically stabilized.

Such a large territory could be completely stabilized in just one year. The speed exceeded everyone's imagination.

Only Jia Huan knew it, because everyone except him underestimated the power of people's hearts.

The people are the water, and the king is the boat. The water can carry the boat or overturn it.

This sentence is more than just words.

In these areas, the aristocratic families have been destroyed, and the common people are the masters of their own affairs, and every family can be divided into heaven and earth.

And people's land cannot be bought, sold or transferred.

This is the first time since the beginning of the world.

Among the people, Jia Huan can be said to be the most famous Buddha in the world. The support of Jia Huan among the people has reached its peak.

If the people's support is available, the place will be stable.

Those die-hards who did not want to be stable were picked out by the people and eliminated. You know, 99% of the people in the world are common people.

He who wins the hearts and minds of the people will surely bring peace to the world.

The next year, Jia Huan led an army of 300,000 people directly across the Yangtze River and marched north.

The Jin army and the imperial army were retreating steadily, and they were no match for the rebel army.

Even after the fight, the imperial army simply turned back and rebelled against the imperial court in public.

Those who have no future with the imperial court will be doomed sooner or later.

Moreover, the imperial court was dominated by the Jin Army, and they had had enough of being cowardly.

In this case, just do the opposite.

The rebel army was advancing too fast.

And this time, they did not stop to consolidate the rear, but decided to go all out to drive the Jin army out of Daxia and capture the capital first.

Because for now, their momentum has been established and they no longer need to take every step.

In the capital, the Jin army and Emperor Zhongxing suddenly became nervous.

They repeatedly prepared to send envoys for peace talks, but Jia Huan refused.

At this time, the Jin army assembled a large army and established a heavy defense line south of the capital.

They decided to fight to the death and were unwilling to give up the great Xia country they had finally won.

What they didn't expect was that Jia Huan's army actually sent the navy to get behind them.

It actually attacked them from behind.

At this point, the Jin army was defeated from two sides.

Jia Huan led the army and entered the capital without any hindrance.

The Jin army evacuated in a hurry, but before leaving, they did not take Emperor Zhongxing with them.

They also planned to keep Emperor Zhongxing and continue to contain Jia Huan.

Even if Jia Huan promoted Cao Cao and coerced the emperor to order the princes, then Emperor Zhongxing would be able to restrain Jia Huan to some extent.

Soon, Jia Huan led Zhou Tong, Liu Xianglian and Qin Huaiyu into the palace.

Under the leadership of Emperor Zhongxing, all civil and military officials came to greet Jia Huan.

Seeing Jia Huan, Emperor Zhongxing looked horrified.

However, he still had the courage to laugh and said: "Jia Aiqing has made great contributions..."

Whoosh!
Before he finished speaking, a bow and arrow suddenly shot out, hitting Emperor Zhongxing in the chest.

Behind Jia Huan, Liu Xianglian and Qin Huaiyu jumped out quickly and shouted: "There are assassins! Protect the general!"

As they spoke, the two of them stepped forward, each with a sword, stabbing Emperor Zhongxing to the core.

It turned out that the three of them had already discussed this.

They were afraid that Jia Huan would be burdened by his reputation and could not bear to kill Emperor Zhongxing, and even wanted to serve as an official in Emperor Zhongxing's dynasty.

In this case, the three of them combined, they simply became evil people, and the three of them took action to kill Emperor Zhongxing.

In this way, Jia Huan will be the emperor even if he is not the emperor.

That arrow was shot by Zhou Tong.

At this time, the surrounding civil and military officials were extremely frightened. Many officials were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, trembling.

Some were so frightened that they peed their pants, and the smell of urine suddenly filled the place.

They all looked at Jia Huan in horror, ready to call for help at any time.

Jia Huan was so angry that he fell down.

Are you looking at what I do? It’s not me who gave the order to kill Emperor Zhongxing, I’m also innocent!
At this moment, Jia Huan finally felt the helplessness of wearing a yellow robe.

In fact, isn't he wearing a yellow robe?
Jia Huan glared at the three of them and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin! An assassin from the Jin Kingdom assassinated Emperor Zhongxing. Go and catch the assassin. Don't let the assassin escape!"

"Yes, General!"

Jia Huan gave the order, and immediately groups of soldiers rushed out and took over the defense of the imperial city.

All the civil and military officials immediately looked at each other.

Aren't you telling lies with your eyes open?

Emperor Zhongxing was obviously killed by three of your men. Where did the Jin assassins come from?
But at this moment, no one dares to come out and be serious.

Emperor Zhongxing was originally in an unfair position, but he acted in the opposite direction after he came to power. He had already disappointed all the officials.

Those who had the guts to die rather than surrender jumped out to oppose Emperor Zhongxing when he came to power.

These people were either killed or imprisoned in prisons.

Nowadays, naturally no ignorant person will jump out to object.

Next, Liu Xianglian was the first to kneel on the ground and said loudly: "The country cannot live without a king for a day, please ask the general to take over!"

Zhou Tong and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, secretly hating that Liu Xianglian, a pretty girl, had taken the advantage.

The two of them also knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The country cannot live without a king for a day. Please ask the general to succeed you."

Next, all the civil and military officials knelt down to invite Jia Huan to ascend the throne as emperor.

Jia Huan pretended to refuse, and all the officials gave in again.

Jia Huan resigns again, and all officials give way again.

At this point, after three concessions and three concessions, Jia Huan reluctantly agreed.

After sitting on the dragon chair, Jia Huan couldn't help but sigh.

The first thing was to ask about the whereabouts of Lin Ruhai and Zhao Heng.

It was learned that Lin Ruhai was safe and sound in the mansion, and Zhao Heng was still detained in the prison.

Jia Huan immediately ordered people to invite the two people back to the court.

These two people are the pillars of the country. With them here, Jia Huan wonders how much peace of mind he can save.

Lin Ruhai and Zhao Heng met Jia Huan. Their expressions were complicated. In the end, they both knelt down and bowed, but were helped up by Jia Huan.

……

After handling government affairs, Jia Huan returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Now that Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao are in Rongguo Mansion, he has to go.

When they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, they learned that their family had actually moved out of Rongguo Mansion.

It turns out that although the court did not arrest the Jia family, life was really difficult for the Jia family.

In the end, they had to move out of Jia's house and rented another house outside, struggling to survive.

After Jia Huan found the house, Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao and others were all surprised and happy when they saw Jia Huan.

They quickly shouted: "Brother Huan?"

A eunuch next to Jia Huan immediately shouted: "How dare you! This is the emperor, how dare you be rude to the emperor?"

emperor?

After a while, they realized what they were doing, and they couldn't help but kowtow in surprise, but were stopped by Jia Huan in the end.

Jia Huan looked at it for a long time and couldn't help asking: "Where is Baoyu? Why isn't he here?"

Jia Mu's face darkened and she said, "Your Majesty, Baoyu, Baoyu, has he become a monk?"

Jia Huan asked in astonishment: "How did he become a monk?"

Jia Zheng said angrily: "Don't mention that little beast again! After leaving Rongguo Mansion, life was very difficult. He couldn't lift it with his hands or resist it with his shoulders."

"In order to make a living for my family, even I went out to copy letters for others and earn money to support my family."

"The female relatives in the house also made some money by doing some needlework. But Baoyu, a beast, couldn't bear the anger because he was robbed of a few words by his wife, so he ran away to become a monk."

This guy, it turns out that he can become a monk like this!

Jia Huan lowered his face and asked, "What about Baoyu's wife?"

Jia Zheng sighed: "I ran back to my parents' house long ago."

Ugh!
Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, they fly separately when disaster strikes!
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Who is occupying Rongguo Mansion now?"

Jia Zheng said: "It was occupied by Emperor Zhongxing's Qiandi Shi."

The eunuch beside Jia Huan sneered: "Where did the Zhongxing Emperor come from? He's just the former pseudo-emperor."

Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "Send people to clean out the Rongguo Mansion, and let all the Jia family move back today."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jia Huan dismissed everyone and called Aunt Zhao into the room alone.

Then he asked Aunt Zhao: "Madam, come and live in the palace with me, and let my father go in too."

"You will live in Ningshou Palace. From now on, my father will be the Supreme Emperor and you will be the Empress Dowager."

"The Queen Mother?"

As soon as she heard that she was going to be the empress dowager, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but feel dizzy and breathless.

After hesitating for a long time, Aunt Zhao said: "Brother Huan, I'd better not go, right?"

Huh?
Is this still Aunt Zhao?

There was such a good thing, but she didn't go?

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Why doesn't your wife want to go?"

Aunt Zhao couldn't help but say: "People say that the Queen Mother is the only one in the world. The Queen Mother must be more dignified and steady."

"Look at my mother, she was originally a slave. Where is there any trace of dignity and stability in her body?"

"If I go, it won't embarrass you, so I won't go."

Jia Huan smiled and said, "You are the Queen Mother, who dares to speak against you?"

Aunt Zhao said coyly: "Even if no one talks about me, I will feel uncomfortable sitting around all day! It's better to stay in Jia's house and listen to the flattery of those women and maids every day. It's fun!"

have to! Whatever!

Jia Huan asked again: "Mother, what do you want to do with Mrs. Wang? I wonder what you want to do with her?"

As soon as she heard the word Wang, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but show hatred on her face.

After a while, he said: "That's all, just forgive her, she is also a poor person."

Jia Huan asked in confusion: "Her? Poor?"

Aunt Zhao said proudly: "She is an eldest wife, and she can't hold the master's heart. She gave birth to two sons, one died and the other became a monk. Isn't it pitiful?" (End of Chapter)
