Chapter 1126 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

Chapter 1126 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
All the prominent families have ancestors with famous figures.

Over the years, their descendants have already developed the family into a huge force comparable to that of a king, even to the point of disdaining to be an emperor. This has also affected the long-term stability of the country, so people can't help but be wary.

Shi Luodie sighed in his heart, but in the end he still felt a little reluctant.

These people not only brought disaster to the local area and the country, but also contributed to the inheritance of Han culture, the continuation of the lineage, and the reconstruction of the country. Even if they did this for themselves, objectively speaking, they also contributed to the entire nation.

In that era when the Hu people were moving southward, China was in ruins, and everything was bloody and bloody, it was not easy for them, the descendants of the Han people, to survive under the Hu people's knives.

The right and wrong, merits and demerits are even more difficult to describe.

These people made him both hate and pity them. If he killed them all, he would feel a little bit reluctant.

What's more, if everything was really wiped out, it would also be a loss for the Chinese nation. I don't know how much civilization would be cut off and how much wealth would be buried forever.

Forget it, let them go to the Western Regions where the Han and the Hu people live together, let them give full play to their strengths, reproduce and thrive to their heart's content, and let this place be incorporated into the territory of the Han nationality as soon as possible!
Of course, there is another important consideration at the end, which is that the world's aristocratic families are divided into three parts, forming a tripod. The Hebei aristocratic families have lost all their foundations and have been severely damaged. If they are wiped out, it will cause a serious imbalance.

If they were allowed to go to Chang'an, these nobles who had lost everything would be easily manipulated by the emperor, and it would be a good choice to use them to restrain the Guanlong nobles. The interests of Guannei Road had already been divided up.

When these people entered the capital, they would either share the pie of the existing aristocratic families, or be excluded by the Guanlong aristocratic families and exiled to the Western Regions.

No matter what the outcome, these people can no longer threaten the imperial power.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Luodie finally decided to show mercy. After all, a chopped-off head could not be reattached, so he said: "Hand over all your wealth and leave Hebei within three days. Except for your immediate family members, you are not allowed to take any servants with you."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Khan."

Lu Yigong, who had saved his life, felt like he had walked around the edge of a cliff. He was soaked. Although he was extremely heartbroken, surviving was the most important thing. As long as they were alive, had brains and wisdom, they could start over.

At worst, they could wait until these people were eliminated or left, and then they could move back with their families. Hebei would still be the domain of the Lu family. As long as there was land, population, and lost wealth, they could all be gathered together again.

Lu Yigong kowtowed in thanks and then crawled away.

"Zhuoli Buhua, you do the next thing."

Shi Luodie glanced coldly and said, "Send all the gold back to this Khan, and keep an eye on the people of the Lu family. Let them take only three days of dry food and leave empty-handed. For other wealthy gentry, if they are willing to leave their property, you can also spare their lives."

"All servants and maids of the wealthy families shall be sent home."

"Gather those servants, guards, and assassins who are the lackeys and lackeys of the tiger and form a team. Next time we attack the city, let them go first and charge into battle for us."

Zhuolibuhua cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, Khan, I understand."

"By the way, Hebei has a lot of farmland. How come we didn't get any harvest from this siege?"

Anashimoduo and Zhuolibuhua were both startled, and then said, "Great Khan, in fact, the fields are the most fertile, but we can't take them away. When we followed the old Khan before, we ignored the farmland."

"Yes, Khan."

Zhuolibuhua explained: "Take Zhuo County for example. There are about 700,000 mu of good farmland in the county, more than 80% of which are in the hands of the noble families, and the remaining 10% to 20% are in the hands of ordinary people."

"In theory, if we conquer Zhuo County, all the land here, as well as the cities, houses, and people on the land, will belong to us. But we can't take those lands away, and we can't sell them for money."

"If we can still harvest some food in the fall, why don't we have anything in the winter?"

"Who said there is no more?"

Shi Luodie showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Today, I will teach you a lesson and show you what war is. I will turn waste into treasure and harvest a wave of people's hearts from these empty fields."

"People's hearts?"

Ashina Modu was stunned: "What is that? Great Khan, do you want us to kill them all and collect their hearts?"

'Well'

Shi Luodie, who was halfway laughing, froze and the corners of his mouth twitched. He suddenly thought of a joke he had seen before.

A brutal and murderous general saw a woman with long legs walking by. Her legs were wrapped in silk and were long and firm. The general laughed and waved his whip at the soldier beside him and said, "I want to see these two legs in bed tonight."

"Yes, Marshal!" The stupid soldier was stunned when he received the order, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and agreed.

Later, when the Marshal was about to go to the bridal chamber after eating and drinking at night, he lifted the quilt and saw two bloody legs. He was scared to death.

The corners of Shi Luodie's mouth twitched, and he stopped the urge to curse.

His face turned serious, he stood up and ordered: "Send all the troops tomorrow to all directions, gather all the farmers in the whole county for me, and bring them to Ji County. Remember, don't hurt them at will, I want them alive." "Yes, Khan!"

Seeing the unprecedented sternness on Shiluodie's face, the group of beasts didn't dare to disobey and stood up to agree.

Three days later, all the property of the nobles in Zhuo County and Ji County was confiscated, and they drove hundreds of carts and left Fanyang County. A large family like the Lu family would naturally go to Chang'an in Guanzhong, and then either seek refuge with their own family or settle down in a fiefdom in the Western Regions.

Most wealthy gentry would either rely on relatives and friends or wander around on their own.

It was not easy to save one's life at the hands of the Turks, so how could one be picky? One should know that in the Liaohe Plain, the Turks were not so soft-hearted, and many wealthy families were wiped out.

Of course, the development outside the Great Wall was backward, and there were not many wealthy people. Hebei had been peaceful for many years, and the number of people suddenly increased. It was normal for a wealthy family to have dozens or hundreds of people, and hundreds or thousands were not a problem. There were a total of 80,000 people in Ji County. If the policy outside the Great Wall was really followed, it was estimated that 10,000 to 20,000 people would die.

This was still a county town, so Shi Luodie did not dare to take any action. He just let it go, collected the wealth, and drove the people away.

As for these people wanting to come back, it is basically impossible.

It’s not that the Turks will stay here forever, but what Shiluodie is going to do will block all their retreat routes.

October 23, the 19th year of Zhenguan.

It was a clear, sunny and warm autumn day, with a calming breeze and a breezy smell in the air.

Sixty to seventy thousand ordinary people gathered in the open space outside the northern city of Ji County.

These people all came from nearby villages. Shi Luodie mobilized an army of 80,000, which was more than the number of civilians, and drove these people here within three days.

Men, women, young and old, brought their elderly and children with them, it was like a grand gathering.

Seeing the 200,000 Turkic cavalrymen nearby staring at them covetously, everyone's face was filled with panic and fear.

The Turks were all armed soldiers, and they came very quickly. The news of the siege had not yet spread, and the people in the nearby villages had not heard of it. Some people who rushed back from the city had not yet finished packing their things when the following Turkish cavalry arrived.

Under the threat of steel knives, bows and crossbows, everyone left their villages and came to the county town.

Shi Luodie's orders were crude and the soldiers under him were uneducated and just followed the orders rigidly. Some elderly people who were still breastfeeding and bedridden were also brought over.

Fortunately, the Turks did not rob and kill as they went along as they did in the past.

This time they were just chasing people away, so many young people were not so panicked, but the old people were trembling with fear. The land of Yan and Zhao had been a battlefield since ancient times, and the deeds of killing surrendered soldiers had never stopped. They were more worried that the Turks would gather them together and kill them.

After everyone arrived, Shi Luodie came to the top of Ji County City. He ordered people to prepare several large iron loudspeakers and place them on the top of the city to ensure that his voice could be spread.

However, after looking at the endless figures, Li Yan thought about it and decided to mobilize several thousand troops to escort the Han people captured from the city, preparing to use them as mouthpieces to spread his will.

"Fellow villagers"

Well.
Shi Luodie said this, and suddenly felt bad, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "People of the Tang Dynasty, do you know who I am?"

Ordinary people were illiterate and had limited power to accept his words, so Shi Luodie could only use the most vulgar words to say in the simplest and most straightforward way: "I am the Great Khan of the Great Turkic Khanate, Shi Luodie. I am the greatest king on the grassland, just like your emperor Li Shimin."

"Wow"

Tens of thousands of eyes quickly stared at the majestic man on the tower wearing a golden crown with eagle feathers. Everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other, and a deep buzzing sound instantly rose from the crowd, suppressing Shi Luodie's voice.

Shi Luodie was prepared for this. He waved his hand and the soldiers scattered throughout the crowd raised their wooden hammers and hit the drums that had been set up.

The sound of drums "Bang bang bang bang" echoed everywhere, and the people gradually calmed down.

Shi Luodie continued: "I led my troops southward not to invade the Tang Dynasty, but to rescue you."

"I know that your lands have been occupied by those aristocratic families, and you have become their tenants and slaves. You have no personal freedom, and your children will be servants for the rest of their lives when they are born."

"Did your parents give birth to you just to make you serve others?"

"Those nobles and wealthy people ride on your heads. They don't have to do anything and can enjoy all the fruits of your labor. And you have to give most of the fruits of your hard work to them to enjoy?"

"Your sons will be servants for others, holding horse stirrups; your daughters will be maids for others, serving the masters. Are you willing to accept this? Do you want to live like this for generations? Be slaves for life?"
