Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to continue to fight and cause chaos to see if you can find a way out.
With the participation of these local families, the chaos in Nanpi City suddenly became organized. Some rebel gangsters were summoned to create organized chaos.
When they saw Liu Zhe's soldiers appear, they dispersed. After Liu Zhe's soldiers left, they appeared again to cause trouble.
This approach is quite powerful in guerrilla warfare, which makes Liu Zhe's soldiers exhausted.
Faced with such an enemy, Liu Zhe couldn't think of a good way for a while. He could only grit his teeth and persevere. When he found the rebels, he killed them one by one.
"My lord, Wang Xiu is here." Wu Anguo came to report.
Wang Xiu was imprisoned by Geng Bao. After Liu Zhe arrived, a series of events almost made him forget about Wang Xiu.
"This subordinate has met my lord."
After Wang Xiu arrived, he saluted Liu Zhe and said, "This rebellion is due to the negligence of my subordinates. I hope my lord will punish me."
Liu Zhe said: "Get up, Shuzhi, this matter has nothing to do with you."
There was a reason for the rebellion of Geng Bao and others, both their ambition and Liu Zhe's connivance. Wang Xiu could be loyal to Liu Zhe and not participate in the rebellion, which was enough for Liu Zhe not to hold him accountable.
"How is it? You didn't suffer in prison, did you?" Liu Zhe looked at Wang Xiu with a smile and asked.
"Go back to my lord, my subordinate is fine."
Although Wang Xiu was imprisoned, Geng Bao didn't pay attention to him for a while, so he didn't suffer much for the time being.
"What do you think of the current situation?"
Liu Zhe was not polite and directly asked Wang Xiu what he could do about the current chaos in Nanpi.
"Well"
Liu Zhe asked such a direct question that Wang Xiu didn't know how to answer for a while.
Liu Zhe said: "Speak, don't be reserved in front of me."
Liu Zhe's attitude made Wang Xiu feel reassured. Along the way, he had already learned about Nanpi's current situation and had a countermeasure in mind.
After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Xiu said: "My lord, I think that my lord might pardon some people."
"Pardon?"
Liu Zhe stared at Wang Xiu, his voice became slightly colder, and said: "You want me to let go of this kind of troublemaker? Please tell me the reason"
It was the first time that Wang Xiu was so close to Liu Zhe and Liu Zhe was staring at him. Even though he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, he secretly took a few deep breaths to calm down the nervousness in his heart. After organizing his words, he said: "My lord, now The unrest in the city is getting more and more intense, and the real reason is that the local big families are involved. These families have a huge influence in Nanpi. If they cause trouble, it will not be easy to calm down the unrest in Nanpi."
"They have many servants at home, and together they have huge power. It can even be said that ordinary county soldiers are no match for them."
"Well, you are right." Liu Zhe nodded, expressing his agreement with Wang Xiu's words.
Liu Zhe has been in this era for more than ten years, and his daughter is old enough to play soy sauce. Liu Zhe is already familiar with this era. The real backbone of this era is the various noble families. They are the elite force of this era and the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty. Without them, the Han Dynasty will collapse.
They control all kinds of resources and power in this era, and almost monopolize the channels for lower-class people to rise.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was not so much about the emperor's debauchery and immorality, which aroused widespread resentment among the people, but rather about the lower class people's dissatisfaction with this monopolistic behavior, and they wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.
In order to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court decentralized power and asked the noble families below to recruit soldiers to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion ultimately failed. However, due to the decentralization of power, the power of the aristocratic families below expanded, and their ambitions began to expand. As a result, they began to run counter to the imperial court. The rule of the Han imperial court began to waver, and various princes began to appear. The power of the imperial court continued to be undermined. weaken.
Generally speaking, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not succeed in overthrowing the Han Dynasty, it actually achieved part of its goal and dealt a heavy blow to the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule.
Now the prestige of the imperial court is constantly being weakened, the princes are fighting, and the power of the aristocratic families below is constantly increasing. This is already a chaotic world. For those aristocratic families, protecting their own safety is the most important. In addition to taking refuge in a good prince, they also Some just recruit refugees and make them their subordinates.
When they are free, they are servants, but when something happens, they suddenly become private soldiers.?The strength of private soldiers is no worse than that of ordinary armies, and may even be stronger.
Liu Zhe remembered that when he first arrived in this era, he had a little money in his hands and recruited refugees to become his tenants. Suddenly he had thousands of people, but the government didn't care about it. He, a newly promoted landowner, could do this. , not to mention those old aristocratic families.
Liu Zhe asked Wang Xiu: "Shuzhi (Wang Xiu's nickname), how many people are in the hands of these families in Nanpi City now?"
"No less than fifty thousand."
Wang Xiu thought for a while and finally came up with a number. The total number of private soldiers in the hands of these families was fifty thousand. It was shocking to say that it was impossible for an ordinary city to have so many private soldiers. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
