Although Wang Miaoyin said this with a smile, everyone who heard this beautiful tone felt a chill deep in their hearts. This man who once escaped into Buddhism has always been compassionate and compassionate in everyone's eyes.
The empress, who is like Guanyin Bodhisattva, would unhesitatingly agree to the proposal to kill all the demon thieves and soldiers. It was beyond everyone's expectation to agree to this proposal that even Meng Huaiyu thought was cruel and did not dare to propose it.
Wang Miaoyin seemed to have noticed this in everyone's silence and somewhat surprised expressions. She said calmly: "I know that such an order is due to Qian Tianhe. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, unless the heinous crimes are punished,
It is rare for people to have such a top-down order to kill all soldiers and men. But these are extraordinary times. The more kind we are to the monsters and thieves, the more cruel we will be to our own soldiers. The monsters and thieves use
They have used various means to attract and confuse many people to join them. Now it is too late for us to hold ourselves accountable for our previous responsibilities. What we need is to use the most decisive means to end the chaos of the demon thieves as soon as possible and restore peace to the world."
"The land of Southern Anhui, even Yuzhou and Jiangzhou, and then Jingzhou and southern Hunan, are all places where the imperial court did not have enough royal power. The local tyrants here are rampant and it is difficult for the king to issue orders. The rule of the imperial court also relies heavily on the local wealthy families. Ours
Benevolence, righteousness, and kindness will only be regarded by these powerful people as the imperial court is weak and incompetent. This is why so many people will respond to the demon thief's rebellion this time. This time the demon thief's rebellion not only hit us internally
Empty, the successful sneak attack has even tested the popular support of people in various places within Dajin. Since our kindness and kindness cannot win back some people's hearts, then we can only find another way to make them fear power rather than kindness."
Speaking of this, Wang Miaoyin's eyes were full of authority, and a layer of frost formed on her face. She said in a deep voice: "For many years, the imperial court has always cared about these areas where the people are tyrannical, the local tyrants are strong, and the land is not
It was considered fertile but did not produce much, so they were given considerable autonomy. However, the result was that the powerful landowners in these places did not appreciate the kindness of the court. In the previous civil strife of the Jin Dynasty, they were the leader of the rat.
Duan, he would join whichever party gained the upper hand, and in addition to taxes, he would steal as much as he could, hide in hiding, and even adopt many criminals and thieves as his clients, and do illegal things for them."
"Most of these strongmen from the various villages who rebel against the demon thieves are not on the official register of the country. Although they are refugees, they do not come to seek refuge with the imperial court. Instead, they make a living under the powerful landlords. On weekdays,
They oppress the good and suppress the common people, and in times of war, they become the private armies of the powerful landowners, selling them for whatever price the owner wants. The power of the demon bandit's army is so great, and there are so many people joining, although some are common people, but
Most of them were forced by the thugs of these powerful landlords. In most cottages now, it is a small number of old thieves and these thugs who force ordinary people to guard the village. If these people were not guarding the village,
, I’m afraid that the defenders of the demon thieves’ stronghold, and even their entire army of 200,000, have long been defeated on a large scale, and there won’t be many people left.”
Liu Yu frowned: "In this case, most of the people are actually innocent. The bad ones are these powerful landlords and the thugs and thieves collected by these landlords. Just kill them. Ordinary sergeants can be pardoned."
and the common people.”
Wang Miaoyin's eyes flashed coldly: "Liu Cheqi, your compassion will allow the real thieves to escape. It is precisely those bandit leaders who will pretend to be innocent civilians and mix with the crowd after breaking the stronghold.
Among them, because ordinary people and sergeants are usually frightened by their lustful power, and they are familiar with the families and addresses of these people, they often dare not report them. Instead, they will cover for these people. Once they are let go, they will intensify their efforts.
The chaos in the land has become a serious problem that we cannot eliminate. Although I am a female prostitute, I have a little knowledge of the situation in these places thanks to the spies of the Wang family and the Xie family. I know them too well, so I can only take this step.
This method, although it will sacrifice the people and husbands of several villages, can better distinguish the thieves."
Liu Yi sighed: "Queen Wang still has powerful means. I have to admire her. In this way, as long as there is resistance, both the enemy and the enemy will be destroyed after the stronghold is broken. Ordinary soldiers will die in battle or surrender. If you take the initiative to kill the thieves, you still have a glimmer of hope.
The result would be to take the initiative to kill the powerful landlords and thieves who suppressed them, or to secretly contact the army to suppress the thieves and quell the rebellion. In this way, they would fight among themselves first, and no matter who wins or loses, they will eventually fight against each other.
We always have an advantage."
Wang Miaoyin nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this time we want to put down not only the demon thieves, but also the local snakes from all over the country who are dissatisfied with the king's transformation. We must let the officials who are loyal to the imperial court bring the people who are loyal to the imperial court.
We must use our strength to completely take over these places. We are no longer just serving as chief officials in counties and counties as before, but we must go to the countryside and villages to thoroughly grasp the situation of every household in these places. In a word, we must take over these rivers and lakes.
The right land should be completely returned to the Jin Dynasty. This is what we want to do after suppressing the rebellion this time."
Liu Yu kept his brows furrowed and said nothing. When Wang Miaoyin said this, he looked at Liu Yu and said, "Liu Cheqi, what do you think of what I said?"
Liu Yu curled his lips and said: "This time I am only responsible for fighting the war and suppressing the rebellion. As for the post-war governance, it needs to be discussed by the court. However, what the Queen said is correct. The newly recovered land is indeed needed.
The imperial court's own people should govern it, rather than entrusting it to trustees again. Not only these places, but also Jingzhou and Yongzhou, also need to be in the hands of the imperial court. As for who to send to govern, these are things for later. For the time being, we will arrange for the military to
The subordinate officials at all levels will be temporarily managed, and in the future, officials with sufficient titles and training will be dispatched to manage these areas according to the court regulations."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "These places will need to be managed after they are conquered. If it is according to what we just imagined, a large number of officials and talents will be needed, and even troops will be needed to continue to sweep away the powerful landlords in these places.
The remaining forces want to suppress the subsequent rebellion by their families and comrades. But they cannot be idle for a day. Liu Cheqi, I think it is better to do this. Since Xie Shangshu and Xi Shangshu have said that they are willing to donate their family property for military supplies
Serve the country, and the children of their clan, including the nephews of many other families, have also been knighted in previous battles and recommendations. Why not give them a chance to see how good they are at governing in these places. These are
In a poor place, there is not much money to be made, so it can be quite a training exercise." (End of Chapter)
