The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 301 Inferiority

The Battle of Guanzhong gradually calmed down as Li Yuan left Guanzhong sadly. After Yang Tong took over Chang'an, he stopped the pace of conquest.While arranging officials to appease the people and rectify people's livelihood, they "settled accounts after autumn" with the officials left behind by Li Tang.

The remaining Hanzhong was attacked by Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun.

Hanzhong's strategic position is too important, and Yang Tong must win it.

Unexpectedly, even without Li Yuan's unified command, Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun still encountered great obstacles when Li Tang's general situation was gone. to occupy.

At the beginning, the second general's methods were relatively soft. After occupying the city, as long as the aristocratic families stopped resisting, they did not embarrass them.After all, they are generals, not officials, and they don't need to intervene in the matter of cleaning up the aristocratic family.It's a pity that the gentle methods of the two have resulted in the joint resistance of the aristocratic families. They not only organized the people to resist Yang Yu's rule, but also secretly contacted the aristocratic families in Guanzhong to actively build private armies. This also caused many cities to be captured today. As soon as the Sui army leaves tomorrow, they will rebel. For a time, the Sui army was caught in the dilemma of being attacked by enemies and cut off food routes.

"These aristocratic families are really tired of living..."

Du Ruhui looked at the emergency documents sent by Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun, and shook his head helplessly, resisting the general trend?Where is this resistance?In Yang Tong's words, it means that if you don't die, you won't die.

Du Ruhui knew that Yang Tong had no plans to deal with these aristocratic families for the time being. After all, he had just bought seventeen counties, and there were so many things about people's livelihood.Moreover, you also need evidence to deal with aristocratic families, right?

But who would have thought that these people couldn't even see the situation clearly, and they had created evidence of their own crimes, so they deserved to be in trouble.Even if they were not wiped out, these aristocratic families who did not leave would probably be injured, and it would be trivial to fail.Now that Yang Yu is angered, he will bear the consequences of the king's anger.

Alas, let them go at ease.

Du Ruhui shook his head, Yang Tong's policies in Guanzhong were not smooth, which led to Yang Tong's temper not being very good recently, and his opponents were still as usual, but these aristocratic families might become the targets of venting their anger.

Self-inflicted can't live.

"Du Canjun, Your Highness wants you to copy this document and distribute it to all counties." A guard hurried in and handed a document to Du Ruhui.

"Okay!" Du Ruhui took a look, but it was a 'Land Equalization Order'.

This is another big move after moving the servants and servants of the aristocratic family out of Guanzhong, and it is also the deadliest outbreak point.As long as this order that touches the fundamental interests of the Guanlong family is issued, the family will probably rise up against the Sui Dynasty, and this is exactly what Yang Tong loves!
……

The land equalization system was soon implemented, and it was launched before Jingzhao County where Chang'an was located. The method used was nothing more than to provoke conflicts between the common people and the aristocratic families.

It's simple and hacky, but it works.

This method has been played in Bingzhou and Yongbei, and the effect is very good.

The newly appointed officials of the Sui Dynasty either had personal experience or received professional training. Before they came to Chang'an, they had been intensively trained in Yecheng for a month.It is natural to act now.

And hatred of the rich exists at all times, especially in troubled times, the ordinary people who have a meal without a meal are even more hostile to the rich!Now as soon as the officials sow dissension, it erupts immediately.

During!

"What are you trying to do? How dare Yang Tong offend my Guanzhong gentry because of a group of untouchables? Wait, I'm Wei Shiwei Yang."

A young man struggled angrily, but how powerful were the two wolf-like soldiers behind him?No matter how much he struggled, he was still escorted into the prison car.

"Let me out, your Empress Dowager Wei of the Sui Dynasty is my cousin... haha, be afraid"

However, what responded to him was the cold eyes of the soldiers!The two of them seemed to be dumb and didn't speak!Before carrying out the task, the Shangguan had already solemnly confessed: People from aristocratic families can speak well, they like to talk nonsense the most, and they like to build relationships with high-ranking officials. If you answer him, you will be fooled.Whoever answers the question will deduct half a year's salary.With such serious consequences, who dares to speak out among the generals of the Sui Army?
Everyone now has admiration for their school lieutenant. These aristocratic families are really good at talking. If the surname is Wei, they say that they are the queen mother's cousin; if my surname is Yang, should I say that I am a prince?

"Hey, are you all dumb? Let me tell you, you King Qin have to call me uncle..."

The soldiers of the Sui Army thought to themselves: "His Royal Highness's biological mother is obviously named Liu, this guy is really a liar!"Damn it. '

The soldiers disgustedly dragged a group of Wei family members who claimed to be the royal family paraded through the streets, and then pushed out the city gate to behead them. The cursing and wailing of a group of 'fakes' were quickly drowned in the applause.

Dou family!

"My grandfather is Dou Rongding, Duke Chen of the Sui Dynasty, and my grandmother is Princess Wan'an, the younger sister of Emperor Wen. I am half of the Yang family."

"Fake! Chop" the Sui army officers and soldiers said in their hearts.

"..."

Solitary Manor

"Bold, this is the manor of the Dugu family! Wait..."

"fake!"

Yuwen family!
"So Wen Jingli, Gongyu of Ande County, is my uncle, the younger sister of Princess Guangping, Emperor Wu. I am..."

"fake!"

……

XX home

"I'm Zhongliang..."

"fake!"

……

"fake"

"fake"

"fake"

"..."

Jingzhao!

The promulgation of the Land Equalization Order met with strong resistance from the Guanlong family, triggering a bloodbath.

On this day, outside the Mingde Gate in Chang'an, amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people watching, more than a thousand nobles from Guanlong fell to the ground.

When the killing began, the people were still in panic and fear, worried that the butcher knife of the Sui Dynasty would kill them.

But after three days of killing, not only were the common people no longer afraid, but their support for the Sui Dynasty was extremely high.

Because the Sui Dynasty not only divided the fields equally among the people, but also killed all the people who deserved to die, all the villains who exploited the people!
Such a scourge, kill one, one less.

Righteousness?

People don't understand.

But they knew that the noble family had controlled the land before, and in order to survive, they had to be slaves of the noble family for generations and generations. They, the common people naturally have hatred in their hearts.

It's a pity that they are too weak and humble, so no matter how much hatred there is from generation to generation, they are unable or dare not vent it.
They waited for several generations, and finally someone made the decision for them.

Yang Tong cleans up these aristocratic families, takes back all the land of all the aristocratic families, and then distributes them to the common people. The common people no longer need to depend on the aristocratic families to survive. After they have their own land, they can hold their heads high and hold their chests high.But at the same time, they are afraid, afraid that the people who once ruled over them will come back.

It's all right now, the domineering people are all dead, so don't be afraid.

……

Among the crowd, a dozen or so old men on crutches, under the nervous guard of a group of servants, looked at the blood-red Yong'an Canal, their faces extremely pale and ugly.

"Nephew Dugu, how dare Yang Tong... How dare he do this? Isn't he afraid of the Guanlong family and the world's family joining forces?" An old man looked at the thousands of heads that had been chopped off, and almost couldn't breathe.

Three days, just three days!

Chang'an alone killed at least 40 people, and more than [-] Guanlong families were collectively pulled out of the city gate and beheaded for various reasons.

Rebuttal, reason!
The officials of the Sui Dynasty all told you!argue with you!Not only do people have evidence of crimes in their hands, but also the sufferer has come forward to testify.

threaten?Ha, hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Guanzhong in the Great Sui Dynasty. Although each family and clan had their own soldiers, how could they fight against these tiger and wolf divisions who have fought many battles?
"It's already an enemy, even if Yang Tong doesn't do this, will Patriarch Yuan accept his rule?"

Dugu Cheng said slowly.

"Don't even think about it!" Patriarch Yuan snorted angrily.

Du Gucheng said: "Our Guanlong family is Li Yuan's followers and supporters, and he is a rebel and traitor in Yang Tong's eyes. He also knows that we will not be loyal to him. So, why should he care about the Guanlong family? Rebellion, Since ancient times, it has been a major crime to punish the nine clans, so it is normal for Yang Tong to kill the rebels."

Dugu Cheng made it very clear, because no matter what Yang Tong did, he would not get the approval of the Guanlong family, so why should he curry favor with the Guanlong family?It is reasonable and legal to do official business, and it also wins the hearts of the people, so why not do it?
"This..." Patriarch Yuan stared and said, "What should I do now? Could it be that he can't be bullied?"

"An arm can't twist a thigh, and resistance will only lead to death. Let's go, leave Guanzhong, and leave Yang Tong's territory." Another old man sighed.

beat?
how to spell?
Li Yuan's hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and Li Yuan himself was also beaten away. The Guanlong family lost the princes as foreign aid, it's nothing.

Moreover, Yang Tong is very vicious, every time he kills a family, he will publicize the crimes of this family, thus creating the illusion for the common people that the family is all villains.

Because of this, all the accumulated hatred of the people was passed on to the Guanlong family, which made the Guanlong family slaughtered in the Sui Dynasty on this land and was excluded by the people.They lost the reputation of being omnipotent, and naturally they couldn't respond to everyone like they used to.Even if they wanted to fight, the common people, tenants, and domestic slaves who benefited from Yang Tong would not support them, and would even inform them.

Bow to Yang Tong?They are not reconciled, and even if you lower your noble head, Yang Tong will not accept you.Therefore, he can only walk out of Guanzhong like Li Yuan.

"What are you doing?"

A few people entered the city with a lot of worries, but saw a long convoy stopped by the city guards.

"Isn't that the Patriarch of the Wei family? This is..." an old man exclaimed.

The Patriarch of the Yuan family silenced his voice, and looked at the scene in front of him with a solemn expression.

At this time, a school lieutenant came over, and he said flatly: "You guys can leave, but the property is your illegal gains from exploiting the people! You can't take a single coin away."

"This is the wealth accumulated by my Wei family for generations. Why do you say that my Wei family's property is obtained illegally?" Wei Kuangbo, the head of the Wei family, was furious.

"Forty-seven of your Wei family have become Li Ni's officials, and some people have been canonized by Li Yuan as the Duke of the State!" The captain said lightly: "The crime of treason should be punished by the nine families. His Royal Highness Qin has the virtue of being good at life, so he didn't pursue it too much. It’s already an extrajudicial favor, but you still want to take away these people’s fat and people’s anointing? It’s just a daydream. This is the property of the people, and it should be used to build places and Guanzhong instead of letting you rebels continue to enjoy it! This is called taking from For the people, use it for the people."

"Take your people out of Chang'an and Guanzhong while it's still early. Don't pollute this land. Of course, you can also wait for officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to come to judge, and I don't want you to go! Because according to For the sin of your rebellion, the Ministry of Punishment can kill you a hundred times."

The captain said indifferently.

"Don't pollute this land! Get out of Chang'an, get out of Guanzhong!" The people onlookers clapped their hands and applauded.

Wei Kuangbo's face turned ashen immediately, he was the one who accepted the title of Duke Li Tang Guo!
In the end, he had no choice but to abandon more than a thousand cars of wealth, took his family, and left Chang'an in despair, heading for Lantian.

"This……"

Looking at the Wei family who were driven out of the city, Dugu Cheng, the head of the Yuan family and others fell into silence and anxiety.

Now Yang Tong doesn't even bother to search for crimes, and plans to uniformly define the Guanlong family as a crime of treason, which makes them bitter and speechless.

From a jurisprudential point of view, Yang Tong really didn't wrong them.Because there are people in the Guanlong family who are Li Yuan's officials, and being Li Yuan's officials is actually against the Sui Dynasty.

As the heir of the Sui Dynasty, it was reasonable and legal for Yang Tong to kill them.

It can be seen that Yang Tong's butcher's knife is already hungry and thirsty.

"If you leave now, you will only lose your wealth! If you stay, you will not be able to leave! Everyone, I, the Yuan family, have taken a step forward."

The Patriarch of the Yuan family has a serious face!He hurriedly entered Chang'an City, ready to pack up and leave.

"Chang'an and Guanzhong have changed! Let's go... It's important to be alive."

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"Damn Li Yuan, extremely incompetent!"

"It's all due to Li Yuan's incompetence."

Everyone started to scold, they didn't dare to scold Yang Tong, and they knew they couldn't beat Yang Tong, so they could only transfer this hatred of losing everything to the 'incompetent' Li Yuan.

This is the inferiority of human beings.
