New Lubu War

Chapter 269 Ma Chao and Xu Chu

Undoubtedly, these decrees have touched the vital interests of these aristocratic families.

More than [-] years of war have vacated many acres of land.

These acres of land were all accepted by the imperial court as official land and leased to refugees at low interest rates.

In the Jiangbei Central Plains, many aristocratic families disappeared due to the war, but most of the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River survived.

Especially Jiangdong.

Headed by the four families of 'Zhang, Zhu, Lu, and Gu', the Jiangdong family is intricate and has been entrenched for many years with great strength.

They occupy most of the fertile land in Jiangdong and have countless servants.

And extremely exclusive.

In the past, Sun Ce entered Jiangdong and killed many aristocratic families, but he also ushered in a fierce counterattack.

The assassination of dead soldiers under Xu Gong's sect was just one of the many methods used by the family to fight back.

Therefore, Sun Ce was so fierce that he later gave up his hard-line tactics and changed to wooing.

The decree of the new dynasty is obviously intended to disintegrate the aristocratic family. How can the aristocratic and arrogant families in Jiangdong accept it?

"Decree to condemn? Urge?"

After listening to Lu Su's suggestion, Lu Bu laughed.

These situations, he had anticipated and made plans long ago.

It is related to the fundamental interests of those aristocratic families, so the so-called condemnation and urging are completely useless.

Of course they did not dare to defy the court openly.

But as a local snake, there are some means to evade all government orders of the imperial court!
Whether it is ignoring the 'tweet order', or continuing to occupy, invade, and expand the fields, or occupying countless slaves, concealing the population, and refusing to pay taxes.

And so on, for them, it is simply a piece of cake.

Relying on the large number of people, those aristocratic families believed that the imperial court would not do anything to them.

Their countermeasures are simple.

drag!
drag on!
When the big things become small and the small things disappear, everything will naturally remain the same.

But they probably never imagined in their dreams that in Lu Bu's eyes, the scholarly families of these celebrities are not as important as those servants!

The foundation of the luck dynasty is population.

special!
You treat the population as private property, what is the fate of the dynasty?

Occupying so many acres, resources, and population, do you want to be China?
Refusal to pay taxes?

If you don't pay taxes, are you still a subject of Lao Tzu?

You are not subjects, so why are you used to me?

"Zi Jing!"

Looking down at Lu Su, Lu Bu smiled and said:
"Whether it's the 'Tweet Order', or occupying a large number of slaves, concealing the population, not paying or paying less taxes and other illegal situations, doesn't the court have clear laws?"

"Just follow the imperial court's decree, why bother?"

As soon as these words came out, the huge 'Hall of Fire Virtue' suddenly fell silent.

Of course, the imperial court has corresponding decrees.

These actions of the Jiangdong family have seriously touched the basic national policy that Lu Bu has repeatedly emphasized.

According to the court decree, the serious consequences are simply unimaginable for those aristocratic families.

The idea of ​​the rule of man in the Han Dynasty has not disappeared.

still exists among these courtiers.

It is even more stored in the hearts of the world's aristocratic families.

Therefore, these ministers still habitually use 'public opinion' to decide government orders.

Of course, the 'public opinion' in their eyes is the opinion of the aristocratic family.

Ordinary heads of Guizhou, as well as farm laborers, tenants, and countless servants in wealthy families are not among them.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Lu Su was stunned for a while, and finally bowed in response.

From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, the authority of all emperors has been inferior to Lu Bu.

His words are the imperial decree and cannot be violated!
Everyone has known this for years.

As wise as Lu Su, he has already known it.

Therefore, when Lu Bu spoke, he did not have a half-argument.

Lu Bu's performance all the time also deserves such authority.

Never made a mistake!

In this case, being self-willed and conceited becomes arbitrary, and domineering and dictatorial becomes clear-eyed!
Say it, and everyone in the world will abide by it!
At noon, the court meeting ended.

After this court meeting, Jiangdong will inevitably bleed all over the place, tens of thousands of people will be beheaded, and many aristocratic families will be uprooted!
As the saying goes, "the wrath of the emperor lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles", that's all there is to it!

Although Lu Bu was not angry, such behaviors that seriously violated the fundamental national policy touched the bottom line.

Therefore, there is no room for relaxation during the period!
Of course, the cleansing of the Jiangdong family did not involve the Sun family, Zhou family, Lu family, and other families with great sages.

The families with great sages all serve in the new dynasty, and they are very clear about Lu Bu's thoughts.

Moreover, they have also obtained martial arts training methods and body tempering resources, and they are moving towards the extraordinary.

Facing the temptation of the extraordinary, ordinary interests such as money and land property have long been ignored by them.

Therefore, these families cooperated very well with the Tweeting Order, the release of family servants, and even the transfer of land.

In this way, naturally it will not be affected in the slightest!
Not only in Jiangdong, but also in the thirteen prefectures, more than a hundred counties, and more than a thousand counties in the new dynasty.

At the beginning of the founding of the new dynasty, blood was everywhere in the world.

In the face of an unprecedentedly powerful court, there was no rebellion.

Of course there are small-scale rebellions, but if the people at the bottom cannot be encouraged to join, how big a wave can some aristocratic families cause?
Why can't the people at the bottom be encouraged?
Isn't this nonsense?
All the decrees of the new dynasty are biased towards these low-level people, and court officials are constantly propagating them day and night.

Under such circumstances, it is too late for the people at the bottom to support the new dynasty, so how can they follow the rebellious family?
This is not mentioned.

……

Snow flakes as big as goose feathers covered the sky.

The vast martial arts training ground in the palace.

Wearing a Shu brocade white robe and a fiery red cloak around his shoulders, Lu Bu stepped into the hot school field with his hands behind his back.

Here, three hundred guards are practicing hard in the wind and snow.

'bang bang bang'

The sound of fists and kicks was heard everywhere.

Arriving at the most intense part of the fight, Lu Bu watched with a smile.

"drink!"

Ma Chao, a majestic and strong man, was full of energy and blood, and punched out in the air.

With a punch, there was a sound of sound explosion in the air.

The imposing manner is mighty, domineering and extremely domineering, and it also contains boundless murderous aura.

"Roar!"

Facing such a mighty punch, Xu Chu, who was burly and strong opposite, was not afraid at all, and went forward with his breasts bare.

'bang bang bang'

The two fought quickly, and soon the fifty or sixty rounds passed.

There is no winner or loser.

Ma Chao and Xu Chu, who were fighting fiercely, did not notice Lu Bu who was approaching by Shi Shiran.

"Ha ha!"

Watching the sparring between the two great generals, Lu Bu chuckled and nodded secretly.

Ma Chao
General level: super fierce general

Martial arts rank: Body Tempering Level [-]

Qualification: Talented
Comprehension: draw inferences about other cases from one instance
Talent: one in a million
Martial arts: the pinnacle master

Arm strength: a tiger

Explanation: The pinnacle of marksmanship, the killing intent is monstrous.

Except for the lack of 'killing intent', Xu Chu's statistics are almost exactly the same as Ma Chao's.

After half a year of body tempering practice, they reached the third level of body tempering.

The three layers of body quenching made their energy and blood like a furnace, exuberant and vigorous, and their physical strength was several times higher than before.

Of course, the two great generals have amazing physical fitness, and they can't increase their force in the initial stage of body tempering.

In terms of arm strength, it is still "a tiger" and has not changed.
