Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1292 Three Foot White Silk
Kan Leng's toughness exceeded Lin Yaoshi and others' expectations, and the weakness of those soldiers and tyrants in Yuzhang also exceeded their expectations.

Under the martial law of the imperial court soldiers, the monsters and monsters in Yuzhang City were almost wiped out, and there was not even a wave of waves.The powerful landlords of the grain stores who took advantage of the famine to make a fortune in the past became weaker and weaker one by one when facing the strong bow and crossbow of the Qin army.

The grain prices that had been raised several times a day before were all directly seized and confiscated at this time. They didn't even dare to say a fart.

Many guys who used to call Lin Yaoshi loudly, but now they are all soft-boned, they brought a cartload of money and gifts, and formed a long line outside the governor's commander Si Yamen, rushing to give gifts and beg for mercy.They no longer dare to clamor that Jiangxi is Jiangxi for Jiangxi people, and now they only ask that Grandpa Kan not to kill any more people.

If they want food, they will give them, and if they want money, they are willing to give some. It doesn’t even matter if they are officials or not. Now they only have one request left. They hope to save their lives. It would be even better if they can keep their family’s property. up.

In fact, Lin Shihong was wrong at the beginning, he thought that those people would have one heart with him.

But it never occurred to them that these people have no concept of a country at all.

For many officials and gentry in Jiangxi, they have a concept of the world in addition to the concept of a dynasty.To put it bluntly, it is the country and the country. Some Confucian sages once said that the country is higher than the king.Sheji is more important than the monarch, saying that the world's Jiangshan Sheji does not belong to a certain family or a certain surname.

But in the eyes of the vast majority of people, what kind of country and country, these have little to do with them.

In their eyes, the country belongs to the emperor's family, and the imperial court also belongs to the emperor's family, and what they care more about is the family.The interests of the family are naturally higher than the interests of the country.

If it is a foreign invasion that wants to subjugate the country and exterminate its species, maybe the country will not survive or be attached to it. Not too concerned.

Anyway, if the emperor is changed, the court also needs scholars to govern as officials, farmers to plow and cultivate the land, and the local government also needs them.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the court's attitude this time was not so good.

It is very strong, so strong that it caused their dissatisfaction. Originally, they thought that if we followed Lin Shihong to the court, then Lin Shihong entered the court and became his county prince, so we should change the emperor and continue to be our official and be our tyrant. Well, whoever you are is the emperor, isn't it?

But who knows, the emperor is not so easy to talk to, and he is not willing to let them continue to change their identities and continue to be officials. There are even rumors that they may have to liquidate some of the fields and properties they have stolen.

This is even more dissatisfying.

They were very upset, and felt that the court was unreasonable, and they wanted their own interests not to be lost. As a result, Kan Leng ignored them at all, and directly dispatched troops, beheading people when they came up.

After cutting a few and bleeding a little, those who were screaming vigorously were afraid again.

It is said that a former prime minister of Lin Shihong, who had retired at home due to old age and did not enter Beijing, heard that the Qin army was so domineering this time, and angrily scolded Qin Tianzi for being innocent and stupid, and then said that he would commit suicide, vowing not to be a Qin official.

But when he brought a rope, he said that it would be strangled, painful and ugly, so he said he was going to throw himself into the Ganjiang River.

As a result, my legs got wet when I entered the river, and I shouted that the water was too cold and refused to die.

In fact, Kan Leng didn't kill many people in Yuzhang.

In total, only a few hundred were killed, and the whole city was subdued.

Several military camps inside and outside Yuzhang City, more than [-] soldiers and horses, all handed over their weapons and rosters neatly, and then accepted the dismissal, received a severance pay and started to leave the camp to go home.

The officials who were not allowed to stay in the various yamen of the Yazhang no longer continued to occupy the latrine, and they all honestly handed over their official seals and made handovers truthfully.

Those officials who have been retained are also very honest at this time, and no one dares to obey and disobey.

A series of grain transport ships came across the river from the north of the Yangtze River, and entered the Ganjiang River through Poyang Lake to Yuzhang.

The city began to implement rationed distribution of grain, and after the grain merchants lost the grain they had hoarded, they were heartbroken and honest.

The people in the city were finally able to buy and afford food, and fewer people were encouraged to take to the streets.

Kan Ling's grain ships began to move along Yuzhang County to the surrounding areas, and Jiujiang, Poyang and other counties also began to stabilize quickly.

On the one hand, there are elite government soldiers with strong bows and crossbows, and on the other hand, there are boats of grain, which are released at a low price.

There are also some recalcitrants, who are unwilling to hand over power or their money, so they take risks and start to gather crowds to rebel, either occupying the city or gathering in the mountains.

But the Qin army showed no mercy to these people, and ignored those who fled to the mountains for the time being, but those who dared to occupy the city and rebel were the absolute priority targets.

Kan Leng showed no mercy to these people. After breaking the city, he beheaded his head directly to show the public.Losing everything in the Central Plains, the ancestral home, the ancestral graves, all the money, and even the wives and concubines and daughters in the end. One's own wives and concubines are given to others as wives, and one can only work as a bachelor in the frontier to farm the land. This punishment must not be taken lightly.

As for those rebels, Kan Leng was also very rude, and ordered them all to be sent to the frontier to farm.Although household registration is an important achievement for local officials, he has no reluctance.

Pharmacist Lin is now forced to stay at the Si Yamen every day, and Kan Leng will send him a copy of the progress reports from various places.Pharmacist Lin stared at these reports every day, hoping to see one or two pieces of news that would cheer him up, but every piece of news made him even more disappointed, and even frightened in the end.

The tide is gone.

He finally understood that he had made a big mistake, since he had already belonged to the court, he should never still think about being the king of Jiangxi, and his brothers had all joined the court, so he shouldn't have that kind of thought anymore.

In the confrontation with Kan Leng, he was completely defeated, and he had no room to resist.

Of the [-] Jiangxi Fanzhen soldiers, few dared to show their swords, and they were all dismissed and returned home.

The powerful nobles who screamed loudly in the local area also became weaker and faster one by one.

Then, he received many letters from home.

As the brother of Emperor Chu, Lin Yaoshi was once named King of Poyang. During the years when Chu State ruled Jiangxi, he did not plunder through wars, let alone search for people's fat. He owned thousands of hectares of land and countless In the manor house, there are countless concubines, tens of thousands of servants, and many private soldiers.

But now, Kan Leng is ruthlessly depriving him of these properties.

His 10,000+ mu of land was directly confiscated by Kan Leng, his house, manor villa, shop, caravan workshop, etc., and his servants, concubines, etc., were all taken away by Kan Leng.

More than ten years ago, the Lin brothers were just a pair of poor fishing brothers by the Poyang Lake, and now Lin Yaoshi has almost returned to the past.

Under his name, not even an acre of land was lost, not even a single house was left, not even a penny of the gold, silver, and silk that he had hidden.

When Kan Leng appeared in front of Lin Yaoshi again, Lin Yaoshi knew that his road had come to an end.

"Lin Yaoshi, I have a lot of evidence of your sedition here, do you need to see it?"

Pharmacist Lin shook his head, "What should I do so as not to hurt my brother?"

Kan Leng looked at him, "Death is a crime, and if you die, everything here will be separated from your brother in Luoyang City."

"Please give me a glass of poisoned wine!"

"I'll give you three feet of white silk, and I'll give you a whole corpse. Originally, you were going to be strangled in public, and even imprisoned the nine clans. But I thought your brother knew the righteousness and took the initiative to join the court, so I saved the last bit of face for you. Although your property is deprived, after you die, I will send your wife and children back to Luoyang to join your brother."

Pharmacist Lin smiled wryly.

More than ten years have passed like a revolving lantern, from a fisherman on Poyang Lake to the final title of Poyang King, and now he is about to be hanged to death, all this is amazing.

"If my eldest brother and I hadn't thought about fighting it back then, we wouldn't have been able to separatize Jiangxi later. If I hadn't harbored that bit of greed in my heart, it wouldn't have killed me today, just!"

Success is also a little bit of greed, and failure is also a little bit of greed.
