Chapter 504
Jizhou, one of the nine states in the Han Dynasty.
Before the pre-Qin period, it was the head of Kyushu.
After the Western Han Dynasty merged the two prefectures, its jurisdiction included Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi and northern Henan, as well as parts of Liaoning and Inner Mongolia.
Its territory is divided into:
Hedong County, Hanoi County, Wei County, Julu County, Changshan County, Qinghe County...
At this time, the whole territory of Jizhou was undercurrent surging, and the people who had just harvested the summer just couldn't even eat two meals a day.
Just because the Jizhou aristocratic family suffered heavy losses, they extorted violently from the farmers and Tibetans under their jurisdiction.
Fortunately, the people of the Central Plains have always been the most gentle and obedient people, and they will not violently resist if there is a chance of life.
Otherwise, Jizhou at this moment must have been full of wars, bones exposed in the wild, and no chickens crowing for thousands of miles.
However, although the people in the Central Plains are obedient, there have always been many ambitious people in power.
Once the opportunity comes and others are bewitched, there will be people who will be desperate to take risks.
Therefore, under the superficial calm of Jizhou at this moment, the fire has already been cooking oil.
……
Fan Lihua arrived first with a dozen of her own soldiers, dressed as a merchant's son, and wandered through the countryside.
Looking at the listless and weak people along the way, he sighed silently.
When the misfortune of the aristocratic family first appeared, the common people of a state suffered greatly from it.
Now the entire land of Jizhou is under the control of more than a dozen families headed by the Qinghe Cui family.
After the failure of the Zhifang incident, he tried his best to force the people to sell their sons and daughters in an attempt to plunder the people to make up for the loss.
As for the people who have no savings, not only the land distributed by the court cannot be protected, but Dingkou in the family will also become a servant of the family.
What's more serious is the collusion between officials and businessmen, and their collusion.
From top to bottom in the officialdom of Jizhou, there are people from aristocratic families, and what they do is also ordered by the elders of the clan.
But in the end, the one who bears the infamy and is scolded by the common people becomes the unaware Datang court.
Yamen servants and officers and soldiers who didn't know the truth were also disappointed with the imperial court, and they secretly took refuge in the aristocratic family and obeyed their orders.
In just a few days, the world of Jizhou already has the taste of an independent kingdom.
No one obeys the imperial decree here, it is no different from waste paper.
"Qinghe Cui family.
Heh~"
Fan Lihua looked in the direction of Qinghe County, with a look of contempt on her brows.
The Jizhou family seems to be in control of everything, but they don't know that Li Jing has already laid a net.
There are even more people who secretly spread the evil of the family.
If this is not the case, why has no one attacked the government office so far?
The common people kept yelling at the imperial court, why did no one rise up?
"I've seen General Fan."
The border area of Qinghe County.
Liu Yingjie bowed his hands with a flattering face.
Fan Lihua pursed her lips, and asked in a clear voice: "Is there something wrong with the Cui family?
How many people and horses are there in the tribe? "
"There are only 300 people, and the rest have been sent to various places to collect taxes.
There are still soldiers from Qinghe County and one government in the same company, about a thousand people. "
When Liu Yingjie heard the report, it was obvious that he had done a lot of homework recently.
Fan Lihua nodded in satisfaction, thought for a while and said: "The army is still hundreds of miles away, and it is inconvenient to march urgently to cause fear.
But soldiers are expensive and fast, and there is no delay for a moment.
Now the general has three hundred soldiers in his hands, how many of them are worthy of use in your hands? "
"five hundred!"
Liu Yingjie patted his chest and assured, "General.
These 500 people were all oppressed by the aristocratic family, their families were destroyed, their wives were separated.
Once the humble general guarantees the order, they will fight the enemy bravely and never retreat.
If the words of the humble position are false, he is willing to let the general dispose of him. "
"it is good!
That being the case, today I will copy the Qinghe Cui family.
Thinking about it, His Highness has already made a move, so he can share the pressure for us! "
"Follow your orders!"
……
Qinghe County.
Choi's mansion.
This land of the Cui clan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is vaguely the underground king of Jizhou.
Especially since Cui Mingan took power, he has moved around for decades, and he already has the prestige of the No. 1 family.
Even if the Sima and chief officials of Jizhou came, they had to offer worship stickers before they could enter.
And the surrounding people are even more respectful to him, even if they quarrel every day, they will stay far away from this place.
Therefore, Cui's mansion has never been guarded by servants, only one or two gatekeepers are needed to guide them.
Only today, everything is obviously different from the past.
"Homeowner!
Patriarch!
Oh no!
The government has entered the army! "
A shrill and frightened voice broke the tranquility of the Cui Mansion.
Cui Mingan opened his eyes indifferently, looked at the old housekeeper who stumbled over, frowned and shouted: "Why panic?!
This is the land of my Cui clan, how can someone use swords rashly! "
"Master!
The mansion has entered the army, it really has entered the army! "
The old housekeeper repeated anxiously.
Cui Mingan was startled when he heard the words, and asked in surprise: "Who dares to make trouble in my Cui family?
Aren't you afraid of being attacked by people all over the world?
Who is so bold..."
"what!!!"
Before Cui Mingan finished speaking, there was a burst of desperate screams from the front yard.
Obviously, those who tried to stop the officers and soldiers were beheaded by the officers and soldiers who acted recklessly.
However, the Qinghe Cui family is a thousand-year-old family, so how could they suffer from the war!
Even if the enemy is defeated today, what face will the Cui family of Qinghe have to lead the family in the world in the future!
Just when he was in a daze, the commotion outside didn't stop at all.
After a while, I saw Fan Lihua in military uniform leading dozens of soldiers striding forward.
When Cui Mingan saw it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted furiously: "Fan Lihua!
How dare you lead troops into my Cui Mansion by force!
Even Li Jing can't spare you in person today! "
Fan Lihua curled her lips in disdain, tilted her head and jokingly said: "Cui Mingan, you don't have to bluff here.
Presumably you also understand that if there is no order from His Highness, how would this general dare to lead the troops to attack.
No matter who comes to rescue you today, everyone in your Cui Mansion will surely die! "
Cui Mingan's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he shouted hysterically: "Li Jing dares to slaughter our family?!
Isn't he afraid that the world will be in chaos, and the flames will rise everywhere! ! ! "
"Who knows?"
Fan Lihua pointed to Liu Yingjie who was beside her, and said with a smile: "This general was ordered by His Royal Highness to come to Jizhou to appease the horse bandits on the border.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Jizhou just now, he heard that the officials forced the people to rebel against the refugees.
The general rushed thousands of miles without daring to delay for a moment, but he still failed to prevent the rebels from looting the Qinghe Cui family. "
"Fan Lihua!!!
you dare! ! ! "
Cui Mingan was terrified when he heard this.
Under the plunder of the rebels, apart from the collaterals who ran errands to collect rent, how could there be half of the Cui family's main house alive?
Could it be that the Cui family of Qinghe, which has lasted for thousands of years, will be destroyed by him today?
This made him how to face his ancestors in the future!
"Fan Lihua!
Although the old man had a rift with His Royal Highness, he never seriously became an enemy of His Highness.
You let the old man's family go today, the old man is willing to go back to Beijing with you, and make it clear with His Highness the Crown Prince.
In the future, I, the Qinghe Cui family, will also follow His Highness the Crown Prince's lead and never violate the imperial government's decree. "
"Humph!"
Fan Lihua snorted coldly when she heard the words.
She didn't believe the words of the patriarch of the family at all.
It is presumed that once Cui Mingan goes to the capital, he will definitely link up with the world's aristocratic families and make Li Jing an enemy.
She, Fan Lihua, would not be fooled by such a clumsy plan to delay the attack.
"Liu Yingjie."
"I'm humble."
"His Royal Highness has ordered:
Anyone who commits crimes will be executed!
Those who have never oppressed the people will be secretly detained for the time being.
After today, there must be no one left in the Cui clan! "
"Impressive order!"
Liu Yingjie bowed and agreed.
The look at Cui Mingan was full of teasing.
With Li Jing supporting him, he can act freely.
Even if Jizhou officials came to Cui's family in person, they could not stop him from killing.
Today's Qinghe Cui family...
Immortals cannot be saved! ! !
