Liu Jingxuan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, now we know that we were fooled by Doupeng. Xie Xuan disguised himself as Xuanwu and came to approach my father, saying that this was to show off to several other mafia guards.
To retaliate, we can only destroy their manors and properties in Wudi, dissolve their villagers and tenants, and turn these places into ownerless manors. In the future, we can reward our officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army, and these are not listed in the imperial household registration.
When the population becomes manpower to serve us, then our Liu family can become a real aristocratic family, and the Shanzhai in Huaibei can also become a real pillar group of the Jin Dynasty, and will no longer be controlled by others."
Liu Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "So, your intention is to conquer these places, and then experience it yourself, so that these manors and tenants can produce food, and finally supply it to your Beifu Army Group, not
Become a member of aristocratic family again?”
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Yes, Wudi is a place where the Jiankang family from the north to the south has been operating for hundreds of years. The land is fertile, the irrigation is mature, and there are millions of farmers and tenants who have come to farm for generations, and the output is
It is very rich, and the aristocratic families control the entire world by relying on the manpower and material resources here. Otherwise, even the strong men like us in the stronghold cannot afford it just by relying on the land in Jiangbei and Huaibei."
"However, the control of these noble families over land, manors, and population comes from the founding of the Jin Dynasty when the kings and horses shared the world. Emperor Sima Rui of the Yuan Dynasty gave these noble families land deeds for generations, allowing them to occupy these lands only according to the
The lowest taxes are paid, and a large amount of taxes can even be deducted according to the title. This is because the treasury of the Jin Dynasty is insufficient all year round, and even the standing army cannot be maintained. However, the warehouses of the aristocratic families are full, and they can even be in Huaibei.
The reason for hiring us as their supernumerary army in the form of a private army."
"During the period of peace, we had no way of touching the estates of these aristocratic families in Wu. After all, they had powerful ministers in the court and had land deeds in their homes. They were private properties that the country needed to protect. However, when Sun En's Rebellion came, we had reason to send troops.
In the name of collaboration with the enemy and rebellion, the land of Wu can be confiscated and the properties of those high-ranking families who have cooperated with the demon thieves, or the estates and estates of local tycoons in Wu, can be confiscated and taken as their own."
Liu Yu shook his head: "But in fact, there are indeed many local tycoons in Wu, such as the Shen family, who collude with the demon thieves. However, the high-ranking families are sworn in with the demon thieves. They have many side branches and are almost full of demon thieves.
Kill Jue, this should be different from what you think."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, this is why my father wants to raise the bandits to respect themselves. It is difficult for him to do things like annihilating high-ranking families. The most he can do is to cooperate with the enemy and help the thieves, and add those to the demon family."
The thieves of the Wu rich were wiped out, but the high-ranking families of the Wu family could not be touched by him. Xie Yan’s army was actually the real soldiers of these high-ranking families. From the soldiers to the supply of food and weapons, they all belonged to the Xie family.
The troops from the major aristocratic families headed by them, as well as the troops of Kuaiji Prefecture established by Wang Ning, were also the armies of the aristocratic families. They rejected my father's Beifu army from entering Wudi. First, they did not want my father to take credit.
The second is not to give my father the opportunity and excuse to plunder in the name of suppressing rebellion in Wudi."
Liu Yu sighed: "No wonder when we first entered Wucheng with the army, your father was stationed in Wuxing. He stood still and had no cooperation with Xie Yan's army. He just sat back and watched Xie Yan's defeat. Although we knew at that time that it was Xie Yan's pride and
Pride made him refuse our assistance and cover, but he didn't expect that the conflict between the two sides would be so deep. So why would your father lead his army into Wudi? Does Sima Yuanxian have any other ideas?
Can’t make it?”
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "You guessed it right. According to my father's status at the time, he would not have been able to lead his army into the Sanwu area if the Xie family did not allow it. However, Sima Yuanxian said that recruiting troops in Sanwu would be a pleasure.
But it caused Sun En's great chaos, especially among many local nobles and wealthy families who colluded with demon thieves, which led to the fall of eight counties in the Sanwu Land within half a month. Regarding this, the high-ranking families who have been in the Wu Land for a long time are aware of this.
Responsible, Sima Yuanxian even told my father that it was because he wanted to engage in music, wanted to form the imperial court's own army, and wanted the grain and grass from Wu to be given priority to the Beifu army, rather than looking at the eyes of the noble families.
That's why these people secretly instigated Sun En and others to cause rebellion. The current Three Wu Rebellions are just a show they are playing with us. Only when my father leads troops into Wu can we monitor and eliminate the demon thieves to prevent the Xie family and others from continuing to engage in rebellion.
Separate and self-reliant."
"But my father is not an easy man. He promised and agreed with Sima Yuanxian, but he secretly promised Xie Xuan that he would take over the land of Sanwu to the Beifu Army, eliminate the local tyrants in Wu, and seize them.
The manor will be the military supply base for the Beifu Army in the future, and I allow Sun En and the others to eliminate most of the Wu family and avenge the Xie family. At the same time, I can also openly take over these manors that were taken back from the demon thieves."
Liu Yu frowned: "Although Xie Xuan is a cloak, according to Wang Miaoyin, he still protects the Xie family in many ways. Why does he have no sympathy for the original family this time?"
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "I don't know if it is Doupeng or Xie Xuan's true words, because now that we have experienced these things, we have no doubt about the words of these high-ranking families, high-ranking officials and generals that we believed in before.
He didn't believe it anymore. According to what he said at the time, the Xie family thought they had been fighting for the interests of the big family, but they never expected that the other three families would jointly target him. Even Xie An, as the father-in-law, was forced to death. After experiencing these things, he has already
I no longer have any feelings for the noble families, especially other families, and even more than Sun En and others, I hope to eliminate them and avenge myself and the Xie family."
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "But in the Sun En Rebellion, the Wang family and the Xie family died the most, but now he doesn't talk about revenge?"
Liu Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "My father also asked him about this matter. He said that the Xie family has nothing to do with him anymore, especially his cousin Xie Yan. It is said that he is the one who should avenge the Xie family the most, but he
He had no intention of revenge, and just wanted to take the opportunity to capture the Xie family's army in his own hands. He once persuaded Xie Yan through Mrs. Xie, but he couldn't listen at all, so he turned to the Xie family.
Disappointed, I don’t want to care about it anymore. In comparison, my father and the Beifu Army he established are his family." (End of Chapter)
