my wife is mulan

"Woo-woo-woo-" the horn sounded.

A group of Han soldiers rushed over with siege equipment. Under the command of the officers, the archers approached the city wall of Wubao and shot arrows at the top of the city. The city cart was covered with iron and slowly approached the gate of the fort.

"Kill--" A lot of shouts of killing spread, and densely packed soldiers rushed towards the city wall with weapons.

A siege ladder was erected on the city wall, and each soldier bit his sword and climbed towards the city wall with both hands and feet.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The huge siege vehicle rushed under the gate of the fort, and the soldiers hiding in the siege vehicle hit the gate of the fort again and again with battering rams.

The fort gate was incomparably thicker and stronger than the city gate, and this siege vehicle was specially made. Every time it struck, a hole appeared in the fort gate.

After hitting for a quarter of an hour, the gate of the fort was already riddled with holes. With a loud bang, the gate of the fort collapsed, and the soldiers outside the city roared and rushed into the fort with their weapons.

At this time, the soldiers who attacked the city had already climbed to the city wall and started fighting with the Baodings.

Half an hour later, Zhao Junsheng led the soldiers into the Wubao, and Babatui and his sons and grandchildren were escorted by the soldiers to kneel in front of Zhao Junsheng.

Chapter 461

Babatiao was tied up with ropes and knelt on the ground. He looked up at Zhao Junsheng with disheveled hair, his face was old but extremely violent, "Zhao Junsheng, you are going to die, how dare you try to kill this old man? No matter how desolate you are, you are also from the Xianbei clan, if you touch my Baba family, other Xianbei clans will not let you go!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Babayu, then looked at his sons Babadun and Babadifen, grandsons Babadao and Babazhuo, and then turned around to look at Babayu, and said with a sneer: "Babatui, you are dying and you still don't know why I dare to touch you!"

"Your father, Ba Basong, stood on the wrong team a few years ago and supported Tuoba Pi. Don't you know how much trouble he has brought to His Majesty today? During the period when the army wiped out Youzhou, the emperor missed you all." They were all executed, but there was some resistance at that time, and Liu Song made troubles in the south, so they didn't act immediately. Now that the civil strife has been completely quelled, and Liu Song has been honest, you don't think the emperor will forget about it, do you? You are so naive!"

Babadai and his sons and grandchildren's expressions changed greatly when they heard this.

"No, no, it's impossible. My Baba family has made great contributions to Wei. It is impossible for His Majesty to destroy my Baba family because of this small mistake. You are lying. You deliberately scare the old man. right!"

Zhao Junsheng squatted down in front of Babayu, and patted his old face with his hand: "The glory of our ancestors has already been exhausted by you, you don't know how to cherish it, just waste and use it blindly, no matter how great the credit is, you can't stand it." Your consumption! Do you think that without the emperor's acquiescence, this general will easily touch you?"

Babamai and his sons and grandchildren suddenly turned pale, and some of the kneeling people cried loudly: "I don't want to die, I want to die, we pay taxes, we pay as much as you want! Grandpa, let's pay, There is not much money, spend money to eliminate disasters, people are going to die, so what is the use of money?"

Baba sat slumped on the ground, he didn't want to say anything anymore, since the emperor acquiesced to Zhao Junsheng's actions, it would be useless for him to pay the tax now.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Take them all away!"

Baba's family, large and small, hundreds of people were all taken away. Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the soldiers searched out all the property, food and ordnance in Wubao and took them away.

What Zhao Junsheng didn't expect was that only one Baba family stored 60 shi of grain in Wubao, 420 gold and 39 million copper coins in the cellar of Baba's family. There are [-] cattle, sheep and horses in total.

The news that Baba's Wubao was breached by Zhao Junsheng's troops spread like the wind to all parts of Youzhou in just a few days.

You must know that the Baba family is a first-class nobleman. Although Babahan and Babasong died one after another, Babahan still has several sons who served as ministers in the court. They are still officials in the court, Zhao Junsheng even took away Baba's family, what else is Zhao Junsheng afraid to do?Doesn't he dare to do something to the remaining nobles and gentry?

On the third day after Babajiawu Fort was breached, Lu Miao, the patriarch of the Lu family in Fanyang, came from Zhuo County to Ji County to see Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng originally planned to visit Fan Yang Lu's family in person after finishing the Baba family's affairs, but he didn't expect that the Lu family sent someone first, and the patriarch personally came.

In this period, the Han family, no matter how big the family was, was not enough for the Xianbei people and the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, whether the Han people were gentry, poor, or common people, in order to survive, they all succumbed to the Xianbei's fast horse machete. Even if they were about to be killed or exterminated, they could not resist.

Zhao Junsheng didn't show much enthusiasm for Lu Miao's arrival. These gentry are too arrogant, and their arrogance must be killed.

It took two days until Zhao Junsheng met Lu Miao at the Governor's Mansion.

"Fan Yang and Lu Miao met the envoy!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Mr. Lu was the prefect of Fan Yang of the Murong clan?"

"I don't want Shijun to know that I, Lu Miao, are still in Fanyang. How lucky is this old man?"

Zhao Junsheng smiled, and asked: "Did Lu Gong come to Ji County for a special trip to see this general, or is there something else?"

"Of course this old man is here to see the envoy!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Lu Miao and said, "This general is all ears!"

Lu Miao thought about his words, and said slowly: "I can see that the envoy has a prejudice against the gentry, and I don't blame the envoy. There has always been a deep gap between the poor family and the gentry, and the gentry does not allow people from the poor family to occupy high positions. The poor family resented the gentry for controlling the way of promotion of the official career, so the gentleman came from a poor family, so naturally he did not like the gentry. The old man came today to represent the Youzhou gentry and hoped to have a deep talk with the gentry. Now that Xianbei is in power, our Han people have a difficult life. The old man thinks that in today's world , we Han people, no matter the poor or the nobles, should give up prejudices and unite as one, so that we can have a way out!"

After Zhao Junsheng heard these remarks, he couldn't help but look at the old man Lu Miao, and said: "Mr. Lu has such insight and ideas. I would have admired him deeply. In fact, he wanted to put the prejudices between people and the differences between social classes into consideration." It is extremely difficult to get rid of the gap between people, but Lu Gong can have this kind of mind, few people in the world can match it!"

"However, Duke Lu made a mistake. I have no prejudice against the gentry. I was just dissatisfied with some of the actions of the gentry. You have monopolized the dissemination of native culture and hindered the progress of the entire human society. You have dominated the promotion of official careers. Taoism has deepened the contradiction between the gentry and the poor. You have hoarded fields wantonly, colluded with the government to annex land, left the common people with no land to grow, aroused social conflicts, and accelerated the demise of the dynasty. No wise ruler would You are allowed to do this. In the past, when the Han people were emperors, they were reasonable and wanted to save face. When the barbarians became emperors, they didn’t reason with you. If they refused to accept it, they would kill you. I can only surrender!"

Zhao Junsheng spoke too bluntly and bluntly, without showing any sympathy.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lu Miao's face, and he bowed his hands with a wry smile: "You really hit the nail on the head, I admire you! Is it because of this that you can collect taxes equally from all walks of life in Youzhou? You should know that, The gentry and Xianbei aristocrats are very powerful, and the poor and the common people are no match in any case, but the new policy promulgated by Shijun has offended all the Xianbei nobles and gentry, so isn’t Shijun worried about their crazy counterattack?"

Zhao Junsheng said indifferently: "Mr. Lu is wrong again. You underestimated the power of the poor and common people! In terms of population, how many nobles and nobles are there in Xianbei, and how many poor and common people are there? The reason why the nobles have always been able to surpass the poor and common people In fact, it is because the nobles and nobles have suppressed poor families and common people for thousands of years, which has caused them to fear and fear the nobles and nobles. If they are no longer afraid of nobles and nobles, no longer afraid of death, and even have enough Driven by profit, they dare to overthrow the sky and trample nobles and nobles under their feet. Believe it or not? Who said that poor families and commoners cannot be officials? They were forced out, giving them three to fifty years, one generation or two is enough time for their descendants to be literate and master the skills of governing the country and being an official!"

Lu Miao was sweating coldly when he heard it. The scene Zhao Junsheng described was really terrible.

"The general promulgated the new policy, is it a preparation for this?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "No! It is feasible to completely replace the nobles and nobles with poor families and commoners, but the cost is too high. This will cause civilization and social economy to regress. Even if it succeeds, new nobles and new generations will be born. Gentlemen, they will still squeeze and exploit poor families and common people again, and dynasties will still change frequently, repeating, repeating and repeating!"

"If you want to reconcile contradictions at the least cost, continue the development of civilization, and achieve the goal of stabilizing society, you must formulate a feasible system to ensure that all classes have relatively fair opportunities. This is what I want to do! Nobles, officials, Gentlemen and common people pay taxes together is the first step of this system!"

"This step is not difficult for the general. Now that the Baba family has been dealt with by the general, no one from other nobles and gentry dares to confront the general anymore. I wonder what the general will do next?" Lu Miao asked hastily.

Zhao Junsheng smiled without answering, picked up the teacup and drank it.

Lu Miao knew that Zhao Junsheng did not regard him as one of his own, so of course he would not take the follow-up plan into consideration.

Later, he told him that he thought for a while and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Emissary, I, Fan Yang Lu, would like to fully support the envoy. If you want people to give, money to money, and things to things, Lu will be with the envoy from now on." Let's advance and retreat together, just to make you let people from the Lu family participate!"

Zhao Junsheng laughed when he heard the words, put down his teacup and said, "Mr. Lu, there are many officials of your Lu family in Youzhou, right? In fact, they have already participated in the general's layout! This person, in fact, the biggest enemy is his own. Selfishness, as long as he upholds the principle of putting public affairs before privates when he is on business, then nothing can trouble him!"

Lu Miao bowed to the ground: "Let the king speak high, and the old man be taught!"

······

"Beat, beat me, beat me hard!" In the cell of the right wing army, the cell boss shouted to the jailer.

Several jailers whipped a few hooligans, bastards, and criminals who were tied to the pillars with thick leather whips. After ten whips, these people were beaten to blood and blood, crying for their fathers and mothers.

Hua Mulan walked outside the cell with her hands behind her back, passed the cell doors one by one, and said as she walked, "Listen to this general, this time is to give you a long memory. If you are found to commit crimes again in the future, once you are caught, you will be arrested." Triple the punishment!"

In fact, these prisoners were arrested for trivial matters, not enough for criminal offenses. If they were criminal offenses, they would have been taken away by the government long ago.

"General Qi, everyone has finished beating ten whips!" The prison chief came over and bowed to Hua Mulan to report.

Hua Mulan waved her hand: "Let him go!"

Chapter 462 Dismissal

The doors of some cells were opened, and the prisoners were untied from the pillars one by one. They staggered out of the cell and walked to the gate of the garrison barracks. At this time, many family members of the prisoners had gathered outside the barracks gate. These people came to pick up their relatives. out of prison.
