contend

Chapter 758
"They will definitely not settle down!" Zhao Aqi said.

"Of course." Yang Zheng was also mentally prepared.

Now my big knife is sharp, if I don't solve the problem now, it will be more difficult in the future.

What about the Central Plains gentry?

Can they still pierce the sky?

This world is originally the world of the people of the world, not theirs.

"Wei Lingjun..." Zhao Ahqi hesitated to speak.

Wei Guan was born as a Bingzhou guard.

Yang Zheng said indifferently: "Bo Yu knows clearly, can understand my difficulties, and can also consider the country's long-term plans."

In history, Wei Guan originally advocated the restraint of tyranny, and even wrote to Sima Yan to abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, but Sima Yan was good at it, and he could not change it.

Secondly, Wei Guan is not a single-minded person, he is flexible, and his family has long been taken to Chang'an.

"Wei Lingjun is in Hongnong..."

Of course Zhao Aqi's thoughts were clear to Yang Zheng, "I'll write a letter to Wei Guan right now."

The monarch and his ministers have known each other for so many years, saying hello in advance can also show respect for Wei Guan.

After waiting for two days, the gentry not only did not hear back, they were still actively preparing for the war, strengthening the fort, saving food, gathering troops, and building weapons.

"This group of killers don't know what death is! The last general is willing to lead an army and wipe them out!" Liu Heng is very interested in all things involving murder and arson.

"No hurry, I want to see how big a splash they can make!"

It's best to instigate the gentry tyrants in Bingzhou, Hongnong, and Nanyang. Yang Zheng doesn't mind plowing these areas again.

Qin Jun is also actively preparing.

When they heard that they were going to ransack their families and exterminate their families, the soldiers' eyes lit up.

The gentry tyrants are much richer than the savages in Qiang and Mobei.

Qin Jun has done this for so many years to start his business.

Many Qin soldiers were robbed and later joined Daqin.

On the fifth day, the first compromisers appeared.

The Wei family listened to Wei Guan's words, chose the second path, and moved the family to Chang'an.

Where there is a first, there is a second.

The Pei family from Hedong was the closest to Anyi, and when they saw Anyi's soldiers mobilizing horses and horses, they were full of murderous intent, and they were also discouraged.

Sima Yan's 20 troops have been defeated, what can they do with thousands of pieces?
Everything in the world is afraid of being true.

Yang Zheng was not the first to strike at a nobleman, nor would he be the last.

Emperor Wu of the Han's sword was even more ruthless, and he did not see these people unite and raise troops to resist.

Then came Taiyuan Wang.

However, Taiyuan is a bit weird, part of it is discouraged, and the other part continues to stand up.

The family of the gentry is not monolithic, otherwise the Zhuge family would not be spreading everywhere.

The part that didn't surrender was close to Wang Hun, Wang Shen and others, so of course they wouldn't join Daqin.

And these people became the main force against the Great Qin, united with the Jia family in Pingyang, and secretly linked up with many small and medium-sized tyrants, arranging more than 3 people to form a stronghold in the Taihang Mountains for self-defense.

"You're so fucking lacking in ambition." Yang Zheng was annoyed and funny.

You have the courage to raise the flag, but you don't have the courage to fight.

Going to the Taihang Mountains, I don't know what kind of rebellion I created.

But looking back, these people are actually quite wise.

A frontal confrontation is like hitting a stone with an egg. If you move to the mountain, you can get in touch with Hebei and get the support of the Sima family.

Just when the fire was almost ready, Chang'an sent many letters of pleading.

The movement in Bingzhou has attracted the attention of many people inside and outside.

The leaders are Yang Xiao, Du Kuan and Yang Jun.

The ass decides the head, and all three of them are from the gentry. Yang Xiao is from the Hongnong Yang family, so he naturally wants to speak for the gentry.

Yang Xiao and Yang Jun were quite tactful, and they talked about the way of being gentle in their letters. If they could win the support of the gentry, within four to five years, they would be able to rule the world, and then they could "make it slowly".

Du Kuan's letter was not euphemistic at all, "...the gentry has been passed down for hundreds of years and is the backbone of China. Your Majesty's move is no different from Dong Zhuo back then..."

Yang Xiao and Yang Jun considered the issue from Daqin's standpoint.

Du Kuan's position is very problematic.

Yang Zheng admitted that the gentry in the early years indeed produced many world-famous figures, such as Xun Yu, Zhuge Wuhou, Jia Kui, Zhong Yao and so on.

But now, what would their descendants look like?
Xun Xu of the Xun family, Jia Chong of the Jia family, Zhong Hui of the Zhong family...

I have to say that the Sima family has taken a good lead. Looking at the Central Plains, how many other nobles are there?
Yang Zheng felt that the biggest reason was that after the implementation of the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law, the gentry lived a very good life, each pampered and not aware of the sufferings of the people.

It has long been out of touch, and one generation is not as good as one generation.

"Let's send out troops!" Yang Zheng ordered, the monks could not escape the temple if they ran away, and these people with great careers would definitely not be able to take them away in such a short time.

As for Du Kuan, Yang Zheng wrote back and reprimanded him, ordering him to reread the Three Biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The generals are overjoyed, this is a blessing.

Especially the generals who were born in Qianghu, they were already very hungry and thirsty.

Yang Zheng also wanted to settle the matter calmly, but since ancient times, when interests are involved, things are difficult.

Fortunately, the foundation of Daqin was not the gentry tyrants, and the gentry tyrants in Yongliang were not so powerful.

Qin Jun made a move and destroyed the dead.

The tyrants of the gentry are not worth mentioning in front of them, and they are even more vulnerable.

As many as thirteen families were massacred.

Except for a group of those who fled into the Taihang Mountains, the Taiyuan Wang family was hit hard.

The most miserable one was the Jia family in Pingyang, which was almost uprooted. The branch that was closely related to Jia Chong was given special care, and the heads were rolling. The others were exiled to Juyan.

It was a bad breath for Cao Mao.

Some gentry can see the situation clearly, but the tyrants are short-sighted and only stare at their own one-acre three-point land, just like the Longyou tyrants back then, knowing that Yang Zheng's knives are fast and ruthless, they still want to commit crimes against the wind.

"Your Majesty is so decisive, I'm afraid that the nobles of the Central Plains and the Great Qin will never die." Zhao Aqi said with lingering fear.

In fact, people in this era generally have a kind of admiration and awe for the nobles.

However, Yang Zheng was not affected in the slightest, and said with a smile: "You think too highly of them, I just killed them for the Central Plains gentry to see, those who follow the Great Qin will live, and those who go against the Great Qin will die!"

For thousands of years, I have never seen a noble family with a backbone.

The weaker you are, the more they will ride on you.

So what if Cao Pi got the Nine Rank Official Personnel Law?

What about Sima Yan's great feudal gentry?

Will the gentry be obedient and take the world as their own responsibility?

No, they only desire higher power.

"The gentry are dogs, not tigers. I will tame them!" Yang Zheng said coldly.

If you are too nice to a dog, the dog will regard itself as the master.

In the first and second half of the month, nearly 7 slaves were cleared out, and the heads of the big and small tyrants in Bingzhou were shaved, and the soldiers of the Qin army also made a small fortune.

50 shi of grain, 21 heads of livestock, and nearly 500 million pieces of money and silk were seized.

This is still handed in, and there may be more that have not been handed in.

Yang Zheng was speechless, and Bingzhou was in flames, but it didn't affect these powerful and popular drinkers.

Although there are some people who are not worthy of death, this kind of thing is inevitable.

They stand on the opposite side of Daqin, whether they are passive or active, they have to bear the price.
