Chapter 308 Jing Yi changed to a new sky, and Lu Su entered Shu
There are about 30,000 prisoners. Women have been taken to other places, distributed to heroes and soldiers, and sold to wealthy businessmen. Many bachelors without wives also spent their hard savings and even borrowed money to buy a few ugly ones to take home.
Can be used.
The rest were kept in official brothels, where they all had their own places to go.
The faces of the prisoners were pale. After ten days of criticism and one month of imprisonment, they were almost deserted. Mr. Yan, brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi, former chief clerk Yan Mao, Zhonglang General Wu Yi and other leading prisoners were in the front row.
Some officials who had followed Yan Mao down to the city now looked at Yan Mao with hatred and regret, wondering why they were blind and wanted to join the rebels.
Look at Zhang Song and Xu Jing on the high platform again, look at how majestic and sunny he is now. Did he take the wrong medicine at that time? He actually rebelled against the Yizhou Butcher.
Wang Lei stepped forward to read out the announcement. After Huang Yueying's announcement in Xiangyang successfully aroused the people's emotions, the Sichuan Army's announcements changed. They no longer pursued literary style. They were written in an easy-to-understand manner and liked to give examples to arouse the people's emotions.
resonance.
Wang Lei read out loudly the various crimes of the family, from bullying and robbery in the fields, to official corruption in the court, corruption and lawlessness, all of which were hated by the people. He cited one or two typical examples, which immediately caused the people to shout loudly.
denounce.
Liu Zhang listened quietly. This time, Liu Zhang did not feel any pain. His mind was filled with images of Huang Yue's painful struggle.
It was because of this rebellion that Huang Yue gave birth prematurely. Now she had to make a choice between her child and her mother, and it was these people who forced her to do so.
Liu Zhang's hatred for these people was already surging.
"As mentioned above, Lili is shocked. The verdict is hereby announced.
Liu Mao, a descendant of the royal family, took the lead in rebellion and usurped power. The head of the Yan family, Yan Tong, allowed the Yan clan to run rampant in the countryside, engage in all kinds of lawlessness, and incited rebellion. Shen Dan and Meishan prisoners invaded Chengdu in an attempt to subvert the New Deal. The three people were in trouble.
He should be the chief culprit and be punished by being quartered with five horses."
The indifferent Liu Hao, the eighty-year-old Yan Tong, and the ashen-faced Shen Dan were dragged out by the soldiers and pushed onto the platform. When their necks and limbs were connected with iron chains, Yan Tong's face turned pale instantly.
"Kill him, kill this old dog."
"Yan Peipi, you too will have today."
Different from the past, this time the people were fully involved in the arrest of the noble clan and had already integrated themselves into the role. Everyone gritted their teeth and hated the noble clan with deep hatred, coupled with the inflammatory report just now.
These common people have long been grinding their teeth against these arrogant people who suppress them from serving as officials, deprive them of their right to get ahead, and usually bully others. They can't wait to get a few bites of meat.
Originally, the five-horse dismemberment was not to separate the living people, but to pull the dead bodies, but Liu Zhang changed this. Liu Zhang did not believe in the theory that the body was not intact and could not pass away. He just wanted to let everyone see the end of the rebellion and make everyone frightened. Who would do it again in the future?
If you want to rebel, even if you are sure of victory, you have to think carefully.
Now that the reputation of cruelty has fallen, let's just be cruel to the end.
The executioner raised his sword and the trumpet sounded.
Fifteen horses were urged by the knight and started running wildly.
"Click."
Yan Tong's hand was torn away first, like a dead tree being torn into two pieces by a black bear, with blood vessels and flesh remaining connected to the shoulders. Blood spattered. Yan Tong let out a scream of "ah", and then his head was torn off.
Flying, blood splashed several meters high, and the execution place was instantly stained red with blood.
Many prisoners fainted on the spot when they saw this scene.
On the execution ground, the bodies of the three people were torn apart one after another, and they screamed in agony. The gentry, heads and elders of the Huang family, Wu family, Jin family, and Yin family who were watching could not help but cover their chests and break out in cold sweat.
The Huang family was fortunate to have Huang Quan as an official in the court and urged them not to rebel. The Wu family was fortunate to have a Wu class, and most of the children in the family were enlightened and accepted the business transformation. The Yin family and the Jin family were even more fortunate to have their son Yin Bai.
Fatty and Jin must surrender before Liu Zhang comes back, otherwise, the two great clans will be wiped out.
Although the common people did not dare to look directly at Yan Tong and Shen Dan being severely punished, they felt very happy in their hearts. They were just puzzled by Liu Mao's execution.
The common people have a mentality that they hate those who directly oppress them. But if their level is too high, they will feel that oppression is natural, and Liu Hao's identity is obviously such a person.
Liu Hao was not only the emperor's uncle, but also the elder brother of the Marquis of Shu. He should not be sentenced to death in any case, let alone be sentenced to the punishment of quartering his body with five horses and having his entire family executed.
If Liu Hao retreats unscathed from this rebellion, the people will not feel the slightest resentment and will take it for granted.
But now that Liu Hao has been executed, the fear in everyone's heart is even more than the cruel punishment of quartering the body with five horses. Everyone understands that Liu Zhang will not show mercy to anyone who dares to rebel against Liu Zhang and hinder Liu Zhang from completing his great cause.
Liu Zhang listened quietly to the screams at the execution ground until all the sounds stopped. Suddenly he felt a small hand on his thigh, trembling.
Liu Zhang opened his eyes and it was Liu Xun.
Liu Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Xun'er, are you scared?"
Liu Xun nodded, his hand on Liu Zhang's thigh trembling.
"Xun'er." Liu Zhang looked at Liu Xun: "I heard that during the rebellion in Chengdu, the rebel army besieged the city and it was about to be destroyed, but you were calm and strong. Not only did you persuade Zhou Bujie to help, but you also climbed the tower yourself.
Boost the morale of the soldiers and comfort the wounded. At that time, we were not afraid of the critical situation and so many people died. What are we afraid of now?"
Liu Xun shook his head, his face turned a little pale, and he said nothing. He only stared at the direction where Liu Hao was executed. Liu Hao's head, hands, and left leg had been torn off, and his right leg was connected to his torso. The horse was slowed down slowly.
Dragging along, there was blood all around, and Liu Xun's lips trembled.
Liu Zhang shook his head gently and sighed inwardly. This time he took Liu Xun to see the execution ground, just to make his son become iron-blooded, but now it seems that his son is still too soft-hearted.
If he left early, could he survive in this troubled world?
Liu Zhang was a little worried.
"Official Yan Mao incited the officials to rebel. Shen Dan's younger brother Shen Yi was the leader of the rebels and rebelled against the heads of the powerful clans. He committed many crimes. He was sentenced to Lingchi."
Yan Mao and others were dragged up, and some old clan leaders fainted before they even got on stage. Their flesh was scraped with sharp knives, and they woke up in pain. The execution ground was filled with screams.
Then all the rebels, including servants and blindly following the people, as well as the children of aristocratic families involved in various aristocratic families, more than 30,000 people were executed. The execution ground was full of blood and heads. When the summer wind blew, everything became desolate.
The wizard stepped onto the altar, offered sacrifices to the ghosts and gods, and invited Liu Zhang to the stage to give a speech.
Liu Zhang carried his sword and, surrounded by his soldiers, stepped onto the high platform step by step, pulled out his sword, and raised it to the sky: "I, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, uncle of the emperor, Yizhou Mu, the general, and the lord of Shu, Liu Zhang, warn the sky and be careful about the heaven.
.From the gods to the ghosts and gods, I swear to kill all the little ones and bring peace to the people of the Han Dynasty."
"Long live my lord!" the Sichuan soldiers raised their spears and shouted, the sound shook Nagano.
"Long live the emperor's uncle." Tens of thousands of people bowed down and worshiped.
Zhang Ren and Huang Quan paid homage to Liu Zhang: "We swear to be loyal to your lord to the death. We will remain loyal to you for the rest of our lives."
Wei Yan, Wang Fu, Qin Mi, Xu Jing and others followed him and bowed in obeisance: "I will be loyal to you to the death and will remain unswerving throughout my life."
Liu Zhang walked down the high platform with his sword in hand. Huang Quan turned around and shouted to the people: "Common people, please get up. From now on, the people who oppress you will no longer exist. Under the leadership of the emperor's uncle, you can get ahead with your own efforts."
.
If you want to be an official, you should seriously learn to read Chinese and Chinese characters and read the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period. The four civil service examinations are fair and open to you. Now more than 300 ordinary people in Yizhou have obtained official positions through this way.
If you want to be a general, you can either participate in the four civil service examinations or directly join the army. No matter you are a descendant of a noble family, a commoner, or a barbarian, as long as you are loyal to the emperor's uncle, you can make achievements and leave your name in history.
Those with special skills, medical clinics, craftsmen's rooms, and workshops with senior workers are all open to you. You can get a place based on your own skills. Not only can you make a fortune, but you can also be granted titles and titles, and your status is the same as that of officials in the pastoral government.
If you want to make a fortune, the business model in Jingyi Prefecture has been formed. You can buy goods from workshops and become ordinary merchants, or you can open your own workshop or even open a craftsman's house. They are all good channels for making profits. However, you must have business acumen.
Don’t rely on me, Huang Quan, to lose money.”
"Hehehe." Huang Quan's words caused a burst of laughter.
Blood flowed on the execution ground, and the people were greatly encouraged by Huang Quan's words and were full of confidence in the future.
Even if you don't have any skills, don't want to do business, and are not a person who is an official or a general, at least you have your own land, and the taxes you pay are much less than before when the aristocratic families exploited you. On the fertile soil of the Chengdu Plain,
Feeding your family is no problem.
Liu Zhang stepped down from the high platform, and the people all bowed down again: "The emperor's uncle, the Red Emperor, is reincarnated, and is destined to be crowned king. Long live, long live, long live."
On the same day when the prisoners were executed in Yizhou, tens of thousands of rebels and dozens of families including the Deng family, Shen family, Yang family, Cai family, etc. were massacred in Jiangzhou, Brazil, Hanzhong, Shangyong, Jingzhou, Changsha, Xiangyang, Fancheng
Once empty, there were nearly 200,000 people in total.
Fan Lixiang, the newly appointed Jingzhou shepherd, did not let go of the families that survived the Jiangling flood. After reading the punishment order for Huang Yueying, Fan Lixiang put half of the responsibility for the flood on the Jiangling rebel families. Those families whose properties had been submerged in the flood,
After being caught, they were all killed.
Including the families who drowned in the flood, the total number of people killed was more than 250,000, and more than 100,000 women were captured, all of whom were used as slaves for rewards and trade.
Including the people who died directly from the rebellion and the Jiangling flood, the total losses in Jingyi and Yizhou this time exceeded 400,000 people, and more than 200,000 people were homeless, accounting for about one-sixth of the total population of Jingyi. Liu Zhang's power
Completely broken bones.
At the same time, the interest class of the Shizu completely disappeared in the two states of Jingyi on the Ghost Festival. What greeted Jingyi was a new group of common people, businessmen, and soldiers, slowly taking shape among the ruins.
The people's voices were deafening and penetrated the eardrums. The people automatically moved out of the way, and Liu Zhang led his soldiers and horses through the crowd and galloped towards Chengdu.
"Yue'er, don't let anything happen."
Liu Zhang thought about it and whipped the horse's buttocks. The voices of the people behind him gradually faded away.
Liu Zhang rode all the way outside the Mu's Mansion, threw his riding whip to his soldiers and ran in. When he looked up, he saw the servants, maids and doctors surrounding Huang Yue's room door, all with sad expressions.
Liu Zhang's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
At this time, Zhang Zhongjing came out, and Liu Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mr. Zhang, how are you? How is Yue'er? How is the child?"
"Alas." Zhang Zhongjing sighed.
Liu Zhang's heart suddenly felt as cold as ice.
"Alas, my wife and children have been saved, but..." Zhang Zhongjing added.
The wife and child were both saved. Liu Zhang was immediately happy, then frowned and said, "Just what?"
At this time, the midwife came out with a cloth bag, and inside was his child. Liu Zhang stepped forward and saw that the child seemed very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussy, but he was very small and did not look like a healthy child.
Zhang Zhongjing stepped forward and said: "Madam had a fetal movement during pregnancy. The baby was finally born with great difficulty. However, the baby weighs less than four kilograms and is much smaller than other children. I am afraid that he will be weak in the future and not only prone to illness, but also to premature death."
, please be mentally prepared."
Liu Zhang took the child and hugged him. It was a boy. His facial features looked very cute, but he was really light. Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work. As long as Yue'er and the child can be saved."
Fortunately, you and the midwives can go down and get some money."
Zhang Zhongjing sighed, shook his head, and went down with the midwives.
When it got dark, Liu Zhang entered the house with the child in his arms. The maids had already cleaned up the house, and the wet nurse who had been invited was standing aside. Liu Zhang was about to hand the child over to the wet nurse. Huang Yue smiled with a pale face and said to Liu Zhang:
"Husband, show me the child."
Liu Zhang took the child over, and Huang Yue gave up a position. The child was placed on the bed. Huang Yue looked at the child with a smile, stretched out his fingers, and gently teased the child's pink cheeks. Suddenly his face turned bitter, and a tear slipped down.
.
"I'm sorry, husband. It's all because of Yue'er's fault. She didn't take good care of her child, so he was born with such a weak body. I don't know how much suffering he will suffer in the future..."
As Huang Yue spoke, tears rolled down one by one and dripped on the bed. Liu Zhang gently fiddled with Huang Yue's sweaty hair on his forehead and said softly: "It's nothing, as long as you and the child are fine, even if you are weak,
Your husband comes from a wealthy family, so even if he takes supplements, he will still be a fat boy, so don’t worry."
Huang Yue wiped her tears, but couldn't help but continue to cry. She had already heard what the maid said. When Liu Zhang left in the morning, Zhang Zhongjing asked Liu Zhang who he could protect if he could only save one. Liu Zhang said he should save himself, and the maids
They all envy themselves.
I was very moved, but my husband was so kind to me, but I gave birth to such an unhealthy child. How could I follow Liu Zhang on the battlefield in the future? Such a child would not only not be a help, but would be a drag. Huang Yue felt that she was so useless.
"Okay, don't cry." Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Yue'er, let's give the child a name. We all hope that the child will be healthy. From now on, he will be called Liu Kang, okay."
Huang Yue nodded.
At this time, Huang Quan walked in, glanced at his weak sister on the bed, frowned, sighed in his heart, forced himself to look straight, and turned to Liu Zhang: "My lord, Jiangdong Lu Su is here."
