Chapter 1 Prologue
In the early years of Daxing, Emperor Xiao Jing of Liang finally unified the world after more than ten years of conquest. As soon as Emperor Liang ascended the Dabao, he ordered the exemption of taxes from the people across the country for three years and the amnesty of the world. At first, the people all applauded this, but when the government orders were really issued to the local area, people found that the taxes were gone and the land was gone. Later, they realized that it was when Zi established something called Tianchasi in the local area. All the land belonged to the government. The people only needed to be responsible for covering their heads and farming, and how much grain was planted and handed over to the Tianchasi. Then the Tianchasi distributed corresponding coins according to the market price. After understanding the matter, the people took their families to the door of Tianchasi to cry bitterly, and kept saying "Long live the saint" and "Long live the Daliang".
Because before the Liang Dynasty, the ownership of the land was all in the hands of the aristocratic families, and people only had nominal land. In fact, they just farmed for the aristocratic families, and the price of grain was decided by the aristocratic families. The price of grain could not be afforded in the year of the aristocratic families, and the price of grain could not be afforded in the year of the aristocratic families. Because no matter how low the aristocratic years were, you had to sell it, otherwise the whole family would be hungry. In the year of the prosperous years, everyone would not lack food, who would sell more. Now the new dynasty's government orders have come to the country and the aristocratic families could not sit still. I thought that Xiao Jing could take the throne and not rely on the support of our aristocratic families. Now I am thinking about unloading the grind and killing the donkey?
So the five major families of Wei, Lu, Zheng, Meng, and Situ made an appointment to raise an army to rebel against Liang in the fifth year of Daxing. Then more than 20 gentry responded in various places. The number of rebels was as high as 1.5 million. In the less than May, the soldiers pointed directly at the Dongdu. The rebels were all proud to threaten to enter Zhongdu before the New Year to capture Emperor Liang alive. Meng Xun, the head of the Meng family, was stunned by the success of the family. He knew that no matter what he said at this time, it would be useless, and he also knew that this mob could not accomplish great things. The reason why he could do everything was unfavorable before was because he did not meet the elite troops of Daliang. If it was really as what these idiots said, wouldn’t the kings in troubled times be all sluts?
After seeing the reality clearly, Meng found his third son Meng Zhige and fourth son Meng Kuang, and ordered, "Ge, Kuang. Our army will be defeated this time, but my Meng family cannot be defeated! Ge, from today on, you will fight more brave than anyone else, and let the whole world know your reputation. Kuang, take a few personal guards to Dongdu while the night is in the morning and go to the Li family. The Li family and we are family friends and we are the aides of Prince Qi. Go and tell them that our Meng family is willing to help him."
......
In a blink of an eye, the year was the end of the year. The attack was not as smooth as the rebels had imagined. They thought they could take Dongdu and advance to Zhongdu before winter came. Unexpectedly, the city in front of them had blocked the army for half a year. After winter, as many as tens of thousands of people were frozen to death due to the lack of winter clothes. At the same time, the number of deaths of the rebels who died in battle was as high as 300,000. The original one.5 million rebels died and ran away, leaving only less than 600,000 combat power. As the troops of Beiyu, Nanyu and Zhongdu arrived, they formed a siege against them, and people were panicked for a while.
Dongdu.
"Besides, these idiots are still kept in the dark, hahahaha. Thanks to the news from your Meng family during this period, my father favors me."
"Your Highness, our Meng family is just the icing on the cake. You are the emperor and nobles, so these little ones naturally cannot be compared with you."
"Besides, you are such a slander, hahahaha." The man in the black robe on the high seat made a terrifying laugh again and walked down the platform step by step. The people under the high platform also lowered their heads, "It's time to end." After saying that, Xiao Qi disappeared from the place. In an instant, everyone noticed that the sky outside the hall was dark. "Roar~" A dragon roar that resounded through the sky exploded in the sky above the hall. Then the people of the Eastern Capital saw a black dragon flying towards the rebels. Seeing this, the defenders in the city knew that this was a black dragon turned into by Prince Qi. "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" The soldiers in the city rushed out of the city and rushed towards the rebels.
......
Ten days later, the rebels were defeated and killed by 300,000. Among the five major families, the Wei family destroyed nine clans, the three clans of Lu Yi, the three clans of Situ Yi, and the three clans of Zheng Yi. What puzzled the world was that the Meng family could actually escape unscathed. They just removed their original ancestral land and moved to the northern land. Meng Xun was named Duke of Liao and guarded the northern land for Daliang. Meng Zhige was named second-rank general, and Meng Kuang served under the third prince Xiao Qi. Since then, the rebellion that lasted ten months has been quelled. After this battle, the gentry in Daliang has fought against Tian Qi, expressing his willingness to actively cooperate with the court.
In the seventh year of Daxing, Liang Bei attacked the barbarians, won the victory, beheaded 50,000 and captured 70,000.
In the ninth year of Daxing, the fourth emperor went west to the desert to annihilate the seven countries in the Western Regions and set up the Western Regions Protectorate.
In the ten years of Daxing, our story begins this year...
