Twenty-five Long Kingdom collapsed
...
"Huh~"
"Haha...Haha..."
In the night, after the thrilling turmoil during the day, the city of Jinyang slowly showed extraordinary peace and silence. Liu Ce led two thousand guards, four thousand soldiers dispatched from Zhang Lie's troops, and three thousand surrendered troops to enter Jinyang City.
The city gates were covered with Chu Zijun's cavalry standing with horses and watching Liu Ce and his robes enter the city. As for the surrendered soldiers, they glanced at them with a slanted glance and ignored them gorgeously...
"Zi Jun, you did a good job. How is the security situation in the city?" When he came to Chu Zi Jun, Liu Ce turned over and dismounted and patted his shoulder and asked.
Chu Zijun replied after hearing this: "Report to the Military Supervisor, in the evening, the riots in the city have subsided. Thanks to Sun Ying's proper dispatch, otherwise the generals would be embarrassed to come to see you now..."
Liu Ce nodded. As Chu Zijun said, Sun Cheng has been guarding the rear of Han Mausoleum for many years. With Qin Mo's ears and eyes, he must have learned a lot of experience in governing the place. He should be at ease in dealing with the public security and order of this mere city.
Looking at the messy traces left on both sides of the quiet street, Liu Ce sighed.
The Great Zhou in this world is like the feudal society before the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong, who was in his previous life, and they would implement endless curfew policies all year round at night. Except for some special days, this has always been the case. Even the two big cities of Hanling and Yong'an under their rule have to implement this policy in the face of the threat from Hu Nu in northern Hebei.
However, now Jizhou has been recovered, and the Huluan people outside the Great Wall have been crippled by themselves. He plans to try to open the night market and lift the curfew policy after returning to Jizhou. Only in this way can the economy of his subordinates develop steadily.
Moreover, the rise of night markets not only brings economic development, but also a way to show confidence in a race. Liu Ce hopes that the people under his rule can stand up straight with a new look and have a strong sense of belonging to the land he grows in. Only then can such a race become truly powerful and truly exude a vibrant scene.
This is what Liu Ce wished in his heart. His original intention has never changed. He longed to see that the Han family's clothes can be spread all over the world, so that every child of the Central Plains can enjoy the prosperity brought by the prosperity in and outside the border. With an extremely confident look, he smiled and told the foreigners: I am a nobleman in China. Have you ever heard of it? Have you ever yearned for it!
However, this road is destined to be very long, and the difficulties and obstacles that Liu Ce needs to face are unimaginable. Just like his own Jingwei Camp, perhaps one day it will really fill the troubled times, but he cannot guarantee whether he can see this scene, but since he chose this road, he has never regretted it!
Late at night, he also considered whether to be a capable minister who wiped out the troubled times and supported the Great Zhou to become a regular ruler, or to be the overlord who was separating the country and separating the country, or to clear the Liuhe and establish a new era.
Supporting the Great Zhou? After years of hard work, he had already given up. If it was a prosperous era or the era of remaining warmth in the prosperous era, he might have done so, but unfortunately, the Great Zhou now has many disadvantages and can no longer be helped!
It’s like if he traveled to the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty, what he had to do was to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new order, rather than be a good minister to support the crumbling building. It would be useless. No matter how much you are in the capital, you must learn to give up. It is also to avoid foreign races stealing the Central Plains regime and protecting Chinese civilization from destruction!
Is it a little more peaceful? Is the bloody example of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty not enough? Especially the Song Dynasty was in an extreme era, and its economic and technological level far surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is Tokyo (Kaifeng) of the Northern Song Dynasty or Lin'an (Hangzhou) of the Southern Song Dynasty, they were the most prosperous cities in the world at that time, and the cultural level also reached the peak of Han civilization.
But the result was tragic, because during the period when the foreign regimes were eyeing each other, there was no idea of unification, and they just gave in and survived, which made the most prosperous dynasty in the world at that time completely shattered by the iron hoof of the alien regime, and missed an excellent opportunity to surpass the world (the West was still in the dark period, and if the Song Dynasty had not been eyed by the alien regime, it would be very likely that there would be signs of agricultural civilization to industrial civilization if it continued to develop, which would be a pity...).
Then if the first two do not work, there is only the last one left, opening a new era. This is easy to say, but it is far more difficult to do than think. In addition to external factors, the most difficult thing is the change of thought. Too impatient is like Wang Mang’s counterproductive behavior. Too slow and afraid that the feudal thinking will be controlled by Confucianism and quickly swallow up all previous efforts.
Therefore, we can only lay a solid foundation step by step and orderly. Fortunately, under the rule, with the help of enlightened talents like Qin Mo and Ye Bin, he can run the school smoothly and sow the seeds of changing his mind. Liu Ce did not expect this world to become the same as the highly civilized era in his previous life. That was absolutely impossible. He only hoped to remove those pedantic ideas and be able to work in every way and work, and the people were confident in their lives...
After thinking a lot, Liu Ce said to Chu Zijun: "Zijun, take me into the Governor's Mansion and let the turmoil in Liyang come to an end tonight. Everything is time to end..."
Chu Zijun bowed and said, "Mr. Military Governor, I will guide you here..."
After talking, Chu Zijun led Liu Ce's army to slowly walk towards the Governor's Office.
...
In the Jinyang Governor's Office, Hua Jin and his son were tied to the hall in rags. Sun Cheng sat on the guest chair with a cold expression. Both sides of the hall were filled with local gentry who came to hear the news and pointed at the children of the Hua family, and cursed them all over the place. Some even came from hundreds of miles away overnight. In addition to expressing their loyalty to Liu Ce, the most important thing is how to miss this scene of beating the dog in the water?
Faced with the cold words and abuses of nearly a hundred gentry, Hua Jin just lowered his head. At this time, he looked haggard, and how could he have the etiquette of being the "monarch of a country"?
The "Prince" Hua Cong next to him was even more embarrassed, with her hair disheveled, and her expression became extremely vulgar.
As for Hua Tong and Hua Ping, there is no need to say that the snot and tears on their faces make people feel disgusting.
"The military governor is here~"
At this moment, a cry of guards came from outside the Governor's Office. Sun Cheng immediately stood up to greet the outside of the mansion when he heard this. The others in the office immediately closed their mouths tactfully. Liu Ce's reputation had been heard for a long time, and they also wanted to see his style, and looked out of the mansion with their necks...
"The last general has met the military governor and the military advisor..."
As soon as he saw Liu Ce, Sun Cheng respectfully paid tribute with military salute, his cold face with a hint of unspeakable joy.
"Sun Cheng, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work..." Liu Ce gently punched Sun Cheng in the chest, showing a smile on his face.
Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled casually: "Mr. Military Supervisor is so serious, this is the last general's duty..."
Liu Ce lowered his eyes, then looked into the Governor's Office, and the gentry stretched his neck and looked at him, and he couldn't help but sneer: "So many people? It's very lively..."
Sun Cheng looked back at the gentry, then whispered: "Mr. Military Governor, these gentry are all unable to get up early. When he heard that Mo Jiang had controlled the Governor's Office, he rushed to show his sincerity, for fear of being liquidated. The gifts given to Mo Jiang could be filled with three major trucks. He just wanted Mo Jiang to say a few good words in front of you..."
Liu Ce snorted and said, "Since they are all in their hearts, then take it, make a record, and then show it to the military supervisor to see how these gentry are rich..."
Sun Cheng patted his chest and said to Liu Ce: "I have already recorded all the last ones and can be presented to you at any time..."
Liu Ce said "Yes" and said, "I'm tired after a day of busyness. After dealing with Huajin's family quickly, let's take a break earlier. Take me to see this emperor..."
"As for orders..."
Sun Chengwenling took Liu Ce and Xu Wenjing, Chu Zijun and his group walked slowly to the place where the father and son of the Hua family knelt. Wherever they said, the gentry whispered extremely, lamenting Liu Ce's youth and the arrogance of his military uniform, and even more attracted by the fluttering of his white hair between his hair. Combined with that extremely cold face, the momentum showed had already exceeded the temperament that a general should have...
When Liu Ce's military boots slowly approached Hua Jin and his son, fear appeared on the faces of these Hua family's children. Hua Jin and Hua Gong suppressed their fear and secretly looked up and glanced. He felt a cold and extremely fierce look that made their hearts tremble. Before he could see Liu Ce's appearance, he turned back and dared not look at him directly.
The crisp sound of military boots finally landed in front of Hua Jin. Hua Jin felt that his heart was about to be beating out.
"Who is kneeling on the ground?"
At this moment, Liu Ce's indifferent voice slowly rang out, Hua Jin's body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly replied: "Return, report to the Governor, I..."
"Bang……"
Before Hua Jin finished speaking, he felt that his chin was hit by the heavy military boots. In an instant, a dark cloud in front of him almost fainted on the spot. Two rows of teeth in his mouth were kicked to pieces. He suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the blood-covered teeth fell on the ground. There was a long trace of saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth, which was very disgusting...
Liu Ce snorted with a light nose, looked at Hua Jin, who was covered in blood and said disdainfully: "It's time to go, I still don't repent. I really have more than death!"
"Uh...uh..."
Hua Jin tried to explain something, but Liu Ce's kick not only smashed his teeth, but also kicked his chin. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say a complete sentence. He could only make useless struggles and endure the pain from his chin.
Liu Ce ignored him, but looked at the dragon throne made of pure gold on the hall, and then said meaningfully: "The people worked hard for a meal all their lives. This dragon throne is probably something that the ordinary people in Jinyang City have worked hard all their lives, right? Is this gold alone afraid of hundreds of kilograms...
It is so comfortable? It makes you spend so much money to build it? Today, this military governor wants to feel it and see what kind of charm it has, which makes your Hua family kill Governor Li Yang and risk extermination of the clan to sit down!"
As he said that, Liu Ce stepped up the steps and walked towards the golden dragon chaise in front of everyone.
Sun Cheng, Chu Zijun and the gentry in the hall were shocked when they saw Liu Ce going to sit on the dragon throne. Sun Cheng and Chu Zijun were considering that this had a bad impact on Liu Ce, and the gentry thought that Liu Ce also had a strange intention and wanted to take the opportunity to replace the Hua family and become emperor himself? What if that was the case?
Xu Wenjing's eyes were shining and carefully counting the steps Liu Ce walked up, feeling extremely excited. Just as Liu Ce turned around and sat on the dragon throne, he almost shouted and snatched down.
"But that's it..." Liu Ce, who was sitting on the dragon chaise, pillowed on the chair handle with one hand, leaning on half of his cheek and jokingly said, "It's not as comfortable as his own chair..."
The Governor's Mansion was silent. Looking at Liu Ce's posture on the dragon throne, I felt extremely frightened. Liu Ce was so rebellious that he dared to sit on the dragon throne...
Liu Ce glanced around the hall, and the gentry with their own worries, and said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Is this military governor sitting on a dragon throne regardless of etiquette. Is it really a big rebellion?"
The gentry in the Governor's Office dared not speak, and Liu Ce did express their concerns.
But Liu Ce's next words immediately made them realize the reality, and at the same time they were shocked and sweated coldly...
"It seems that you are all very loyal to Longguo. Should this military governor strictly investigate whether there is a Hua Ni party among you, and it is better to be punished together..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire gentry of the Governor's Office came to his senses and knelt down and cried.
"Mr. Military Governor, we are loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The sun and the moon can be seen..."
"The military governor clearly investigated. He had no choice but to serve the thief. I wish I could eat raw meat from Hua Ni!"
"Mr. Military Supervisor, I have absolutely no disobedience. Please believe me. I am heartbroken by Hua Ni's act of becoming emperor. Now that I have the military power of the Military Supervisor, this bright world will reappear on the earth..."
The entire Governor's Office was full of gentry showing loyalty all over the ground, for fear that Liu Ce would punish them for the same crime, so that everything would be over. They had long heard that Liu Ce's methods of treating dissidents were extremely cruel.
"A bunch of waste!" Xu Wenjing looked at the gentry who was crying in the ground with contempt and thought to herself, "No wonder Dazhou was terminally ill. With the behavior of these flies, even the Daluo Golden Immortals could not be saved in the world, hum..."
At the same time, he was sincerely admired Liu Ce's political wisdom of being the leader. In Xu Wenjing's eyes, Liu Ce was no longer a military governor, but a great emperor, which made him endure the desire to worship the rituals of the monarch and the ministers.
"Okay, in order to express your loyalty, each of your family will contribute 20% of its wealth within three days. The fields and acres will be converted based on the yield of rice and rice in two seasons. When we enter Beijing, our military governor will tell you that the emperor is all virtuous and loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"
When everyone in the Governor's Office heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although it hurt a little to ask them to take out 20% of their property, it was better than moving their heads. Besides, if you think about it carefully, the military governor was polite. He didn't want all or half of them. As long as 20% of the wealth was simply an example of being honest, everyone agreed immediately.
Liu Ce smiled disdainfully on his head, and then said to Sun Cheng: "Sun Ying, remember to make a book..."
"I will obey the order!" Sun Cheng replied loudly.
After quickly dealing with these trivial matters, Liu Ce glanced at the dazed family, then closed his eyes and said, "As for the Hua family, I will be punished by cutting and killing them, and the nine clans, killing them!"
Hua Cong immediately cried loudly when he heard this: "No, Mr. Military Supervisor, no, I don't want to die, no, Mr. Military Supervisor, I know I'm wrong. I just want to be a commoner. No, I'm a slave, and it's okay to be a slave. Please don't kill me..."
As for Hua Tong and Hua Ping, they had already fainted from fear, especially the Hua Ping, which emitted a foul odor, and they were already incontinent...
Hua Jin looked at Liu Ce resentfully, "Yiyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya
“Drag out…”
Perhaps he was really tired, Liu Ce waved his hand impatiently, and soon the four of them were dragged backwards by the guards and walked out of the Governor's Office. Hua Gong had never heard of the crying sounds all the way, and everyone felt a chill from the backbone...
"By the way, this golden chair was melted for this military commander, but the gold seemed to be a bit real..." As soon as he came, Liu Ce added another sentence.
Chapter completed!
