- ??
Taking advantage of the fact that the princes and kings still have absolute control over the territories under their rule, Liu Deng also wants to seize the time to do more things.
??????????????????????????????? If the madmen at the Wuyan Institute can succeed, then the Han Dynasty will enter the firearms age ahead of schedule.
You must know that barbarians all over the world are still wielding swords.
Even the natives in the far west are still holding sticks and fighting wild beasts at this time.
Technology is power, if you fall behind you will be beaten!
In this day and age, I am afraid that only Liu Deng understands that these twelve simple words are the lessons learned by many ancestors in exchange for their blood.
This world is indeed very big, but compared to the powerful reproductive capacity of human beings, it will not take long for this world to seem so small.
Human nature¡¯s greed has no limits, and Liu Deng has no intention of changing human nature.
Since he was born into the Han family and was a vassal king of the Han Dynasty, he could only consider the survival of his own people.
As for those from other families, I¡¯m sorry, they must either surrender or be destroyed!
The great men of later generations said it very well, the truth is only within the range of artillery!
Liu Deng clearly remembers that period of history. In 1893, the Berbers in the Rif region besieged Melilla and were easily defeated by the Spanish army using machine guns and artillery.
After the Rif tribe surrendered, an agreement was signed with the Spanish.
The Spaniards fired a cannonball on the fortress wall, and all within the range was Spanish territory.
As a result, the Spanish artillery shells hit the land 2,900 meters away, and the Spanish territory was within the range of the cannon.
This is a bloody lesson, a weak country has no diplomacy!
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. The weak will eat the strong, and the strong will be respected.
This is the eternal truth!
"I'd like to see His Highness the King! Your Highness, spare your life and spare the people in this village!"
Liu Deng didn't expect that the old man's reaction was so big. After seeing Liu Deng, he knelt on the ground directly, with tears in his eyes.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
Liu Deng was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what was going on.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly. At your age, you really can't do this!"
The Han Dynasty governed the country with filial piety. Even if the people over sixty years old were just beggars on the roadside, the state had the obligation to support them.
It is basic not to kneel before an official. Even if he really violates the criminal law, the government will only blame his nephew at most.
"Your Highness, this rebellion has nothing to do with us. We are just ordinary people. The government requires every household to have a strong man. We can only obey the orders of the government. As for the rest, we You probably don¡¯t know! If we knew they were going to rebel, we would never let our nephews go!"
Liu Deng wanted to help the old man up, but the old man stubbornly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging Liu Deng for mercy.
Liu Deng smiled bitterly, and then he realized that this was the reason why he had been talking for a long time.
"Old man, you get up first, let's talk about this matter slowly!"
In fact, Liu Deng was also very helpless. Liu Deng knew in his heart that this kind of thing actually had nothing to do with ordinary soldiers.
They were just following orders and going with the flow.
But now that they have participated in the rebellion, in this day and age, it may be difficult for them to stand out.
After all, the king's law is as powerful as the sky, and even Liu Deng can hardly interfere with the national policy of the imperial court.
However, Liu Deng believes that as one of the most lenient emperors in history, there should be an explanation for this matter soon.
¡°After all, since ancient times, the law has always been unfair to everyone.
"When this mistake became a nationwide mistake, even if it was the worst of all evils, the emperor could only hold his nose and admit it.
The six major vassal states have wiped out almost all the strong men in the country.
Behind the 800,000 rebels are hundreds of thousands of families who were forced to participate in the rebellion.
Is it possible that the emperor can really kill them all?
"Please have pity on us. There are only old immortals like us and some women and children left in the village. We really can't afford so much money and food!"
The old man didn¡¯t seem to buy it, he just kept begging, but as he listened, Liu Deng suddenly?There seems to be something wrong with this matter!
"Old man, please stand up first. What did you mean when you said you couldn't afford so much money and food? What money and food?"
Liu Deng¡¯s expression suddenly became serious.
Although the six major vassal states are wealthy, the amount of food and fodder required by the 800,000-strong army is absolutely an astronomical figure.
"It is impossible for these rebellious princes to drain all their own wealth, so all they can do is to forcibly distribute it.
Now that the rebellion is over, is it possible that someone still wants to forcefully show off food to them?
"Half a month ago, Mr. Xiao, the magistrate of Buqi County, ordered that in order to welcome the arrival of His Highness King Dai, a palace should be built in the city for His Highness King Dai. Each household was required to pay 50 guan of copper coins and 5 shi of food! But! The food and money our family grew have been emptied by the original king a long time ago. How can we still have the money to build a palace for the king? Please leave us a way to survive!"
As the old man spoke, he began to cover his face and cry bitterly.
"Don't panic, old man. I have never known about this matter. I was still in Chang'an City half a month ago. How could I order the construction of a palace? Just wait here for a moment!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath, and then ordered someone to bring a larger stone to the cell leader, which could be regarded as a chair for the time being.
"Here comes someone!"
Liu Deng turned his head with a livid face and shouted loudly.
"My subordinates are here!"
Shenwu Military Academy Captain Li Dongcheng immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Deng.
"I order you to lead fifty soldiers and go immediately. If there is resistance, I will arrest and bring him to justice. If there is resistance, I will kill you. If there is any other palace affairs, stop it immediately. I want to see what happens. Who gave him such courage!"
The murderous look in Liu Deng¡¯s eyes could no longer be concealed.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you want to build a large cultivation palace in a year like this, isn¡¯t that going to drive the people in the city to death?
If the people of this world knew these things, they wouldn¡¯t know how to scold him!
??This is not building a palace for yourself, this is clearly building a tomb for yourself!
"No!"
After receiving Liu Deng's order, Li Dongcheng immediately ordered all fifty soldiers, got on his horse, and headed straight for Buqi City.
By the time they arrived at the county government office, the entire county government office was already in chaos.
"Master, the things in the backyard are still being packed into boxes. It will take at least half a day to finish packing. Look"
Xu Sancai looked at Xiao Jialiang, the magistrate of Buqi County, in front of him with a flattering look on his face, and said with a smile on his face.
"No, no, no, no matter what you have loaded, load it into the car now. If anyone comes to see me, tell them that I am sick today, and we will talk about anything tomorrow!"
Xiao Jialiang was sweating profusely now. Liu Deng's sudden arrival completely disrupted his plan, which really caught him off guard.
"Sir, what are you"
Xu Sancai certainly knew what this guy was planning to do, but after all, he was his boss for many years, and he did have something in Xiao Jialiang's hands.
Now, we can only ask knowingly.
"The two of us have worked together for so many years. I won't hide it from you. His Highness the King has arrived early. Now we can only go our separate ways. I have burned all your things. I will give them to you at Widow Wang's place. I left five hundred taels of gold, as long as you cover me out of the city today, you can blame everything on me after tomorrow!"
Seeing the shrewdness in Xu Sancai's eyes, Xiao Jialiang pulled him aside and lowered his voice.
