Chapter 5095: Taking away peoples freedom is not advisable
Sun Chu and Shen Tianzi both saluted solemnly and said: "In accordance with the teachings of the Queen, we will only punish the chief villains and old thieves and gangsters in Guangzhou. All other threats can be spared without asking, so as to win over the hearts of Lingnan people."
Queen Wang nodded: "If everything goes well, we can also order an exemption from taxes in the Guangzhou area for two years to show the kindness of the Jin Dynasty, and take the initiative to join the Lingnan Han people and barbarian chiefs who come to us, and give them enough
The advantage is that starting from the chief officials such as county magistrates and county magistrates, the chief historians of each county and county magistrates and other deputy positions can appoint powerful local people who actively adhere to our army when suppressing rebellion.
The lands of the Han clan and the barbarian tycoons who rebelled against the demon thieves were confiscated, and the clansmen were punished as slaves and distributed to these local tyrants who were on our side."
Liu Yu frowned slightly and said: "Queen Wang, is it really okay to rob people as slaves again like this? We are the king's masters. We should be benevolent and righteous. We should kill the culprits and pardon those who obeyed. If we are defeated
Some barbarian leaders then confiscated their entire tribe and made them slaves. Isn’t this a bit contrary to our long-standing principles?”
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "We all know that Liu Cheqi has a kind heart, but different places and times require different handling methods. For us Han people, we have already abandoned the slavery system, even if
In a large family, it is illegal to kill slaves arbitrarily. Not long ago, General Mao Xiuzhi was impeached by Yousi and deprived of his official title because he had used underage servants at home for a long time.
I reflected behind closed doors and didn’t even participate in today’s military meeting.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, I said that as long as I am in power, I will not allow that kind of slavery system to reappear in Jin Dynasty, even if it is repaired."
Liu Yi said coldly: "Xiu Zhi did not rob people into slavery. Those children are the sons of his father's comrades and subordinates. They have played with him since they were young. During the Qiao Zong Rebellion, these people's fathers were with their Mao family."
The elders sacrificed their lives for the country together. They have nothing to rely on. They can only live in the Mao family and live as servants and slaves. If you don’t find out these things clearly, you will just listen to the officials who want to please you.
Just resign Xiuzhi's military position and title, I really want to discuss this matter with you."
Liu Yu frowned: "According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, if the children of martyrs and those who died in the civil and military service became orphans, they could be taken care of and raised by the state. If what you said is true, why were these children not raised by the Jin Dynasty?
What about raising children? Could it be that Xiuzhi took the initiative to conceal the identities of these people? The report I saw said that the families of these so-called orphans did not recognize their identities. It was said that Mao Xiuzhi made it up. Xiuzhi himself did not provide enough
Prove it."
Liu Yi sneered: "Because the mothers of these children were born after their fathers married local women when they were stationed in Shu for a long time. Even these marriages were not officially held, but the local generals fell in love with local beauties.
After all, the wife and family of the main wife of the army stationed in Shu are in their hometown, and they have been stationed abroad for many years, lonely and empty, and there must be no need for women to accompany them. This kind of illegitimate son is very common among Mao's army, and Mao Xiuzhi has been there for many years.
Growing up in Shu, he had been with these illegitimate children since he was a child. He was a brother and sister. Later, when Mao Xiuzhi escorted his uncle's coffin back to Jiankang, these more than ten children also returned to Jiankang with him. Unexpectedly, they encountered Qiao.
During the Shu Rebellion, they suddenly became orphans without a father or a mother."
Liu Yu sighed: "It seems that there is no proof of these things. The truth can only be found out after Qiao Shu is destroyed. But since Xiu Zhi said this, I believe that my subordinates also stood up when the demon thief invaded the capital."
He has military exploits, I think so. The case has not been investigated and has been put on hold for the time being. Mao Xiuzhi's previous post as general of the auxiliary country is still temporarily vacant. As a general of the Wei, Sima, I will continue to serve under your account, Xile. How about it?
"
The corner of Liu Yi's mouth curled up: "Then I have to thank you for taking care of me, so that Xiu Zhi can catch up with this battle. However, as General Wei, what arrangements will I make for this battle?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I am making arrangements here. Everyone has their own position in this war. Please be patient, Xile. I will arrange other generals first. It will always be your turn."
Liu Yi nodded expressionlessly and said no more.
Liu Yu continued to look at Wang Miaoyin and said seriously: "Empress Wang, you have also seen that our Beifu Army, even a general like Mao Xiuzhi, strictly prohibits taking people as slaves. This is my will, even the Eight Brothers in Jing
We must also abide by it, in order to put an end to the previous practice of aristocratic families occupying people's land and depriving people of personal freedom. I have always agreed with you on this point. I think that if the crusade against Lingnan is really
As you said, if you want to get rid of the thief in your heart, you can't do it in this way of enslaving the rebellious people."
Wang Miaoyin sighed softly: "Liu Cheqi, I can understand your lofty ideals, noble personality, and your will and determination to make the world free of slaves and everyone is like a dragon. But it also depends on the time and occasion.
If you implement it in the royal lands of the Jin Dynasty, including the Wu region where aristocratic families are concentrated, and Jiangbei, I will firmly support you. But in Lingnan, especially the barbarian tribes, it is inappropriate to do this, because
These tribes are afraid of power but not moral. They attack each other, destroy tribes and plunder people as slaves in order to dominate by strength. If we forcefully change their customs and rules, it will only lead to chaos in Lingnan."
"You must know that in the land of Lingnan, since the Qin Dynasty attacked Baiyue, in the past few hundred years, the Han people can only occupy a few cities, but in the mountains and forests, and outside the wilderness, there are all such barbarian tribes. They have their own traditions.
And custom, our Da Jin laws cannot be implemented in their tribes. Those tribal leaders ostensibly surrendered to Da Jin, and every few tributes such as furs, birds and beasts were regarded as obeying the rule of Da Jin.
We have never even paid taxes and levies, so what do you think we have the ability to do to interfere in the affairs of their clan?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "In the past, we were not strong enough to enter these barbarian lands with the army. They lived in the mountains for a long time and could not feel the rule of the imperial court. But even so, when Wu Yinzhi, the old governor of Wu, was in office, wasn't he deeply
To win people's hearts, can you even get their support when the demon thieves come? This is the right way, to win people's hearts, instead of luring them with benefits or even depriving others of their freedom. This is unacceptable to me."
