Chapter 105: Troubled Times
Although the riot did not cause large-scale casualties, it brought extremely serious consequences.
Gongsun Xiu also realized the seriousness of the problem. He conquered Goguryeo by force and slaughtered the Dongchuan King clan who controlled Goguryeo. Logically speaking, there was no problem, but such a riot occurred.
An incident like an attack on the royal palace at night can be big or small. In Gongsun Xiu's eyes, hundreds of Goguryeo people were a death sentence. Even if he wanted to spare him lightly, he could not do it. Everything should not be preceded by it. If it was preceded, there would be no prestige. Not to mention that the main culprit and accomplices were beheaded, if it was really strict, the accomplices would all be executed.
Deng Ai, who summoned the senior general of the Yan army overnight, was also frightened by this matter and rushed over and frowned and said, "Master King, is it a deceased rebellion?"
Gongsun Xiu shook his head and said, "If you think about it carefully, maybe it is not the reason, there must be a deeper reason."
Deng Zhong frowned and said, "I've been tortured. What's funny is that these hundreds of people can't tell who ordered them. It turns out that it was because someone incited ghosts and gods. These hundreds of people in the village were fooled, and they didn't know what they meant. They had a hot brain and hit the palace."
Gongsun Xiu frowned. If this happens, the clues will be cut off. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that they have made a perfect plan to lead the people to the ghosts and gods, with the purpose of teaching you and others to find no trace."
The three of them were stunned.
Moving inland to the people thousands of miles is a harsh policy. It is difficult to move the indigenous people away. If you take the land, you may die. It will save time and effort on a boat, which will avoid a lot of consumption.
When Sun Quan was plundering the population of Jiangbin, Cao Cao ordered the people to move inward. It was supposed to move the people inward, but unexpectedly it backfired, resulting in more than 100,000 people fleeing to Jiangdong overnight. The reason was nothing more than the people who wanted to abandon the land and move inward. If they could not move inward as scheduled, they would be expelled and persecuted by Cao's army. Forcibly expelled would inevitably be like a mountain. The people from several counties in Jiangbin simply fled south to Dongwu.
Gongsun Xiuwei avoided such a situation and did not want to denounce the force of force to oppress the people to move inward. Instead, he took them away in batches by sea boats, and gave a lot of compensation and preferential treatment.
Logically speaking, riots are impossible.
But since ancient times, it is easy to conquer the country and difficult to defend the country. Although Goguryeo was destroyed quickly, subsequent governance measures are still extremely difficult.
Deng Ai suddenly said: "King, as the last general, we don't have to look for a needle in a haystack. Those who dare to instigate the people to attack the palace. Just think about it carefully: Who has the greatest loss when the subjects of Goguryeo moved to Yan State?"
As soon as this said, Gongsun Xiu reacted and said sternly: "It is the remnants of the powerful and nobles of each tribe!"
Deng Ai smiled on his face, let out a long sigh, nodded and said, "Yes, the investigation has been completed long ago. The ordinary civilians in Goguryeo have no money at home, only one acre and three cents of land. In addition, the over-exhausted taxes by the King of Dongchuan in recent years, a large number of people who cannot survive sold land and became vassals and slaves of the powerful nobles. Now the King of Dongchuan has been executed, but the powerful people are still there."
Gongsun Xiu missed this incident, thinking that the case of attacking the palace would inevitably be related to the local powerful nobles, so he nodded and said, "Are they planning to restore the country for Goguryeo?"
Deng Ai said seriously: "I'm afraid they don't have the courage to restore the country. The king issued the imperial edict to the Goguryeo who moved to Yan State. They were all civilians of Yan State. In addition, they were not expelled by force, and they were inhumane. They were sent to various counties of Yan State with large ships and small boats to settle down. Those Goguryeo who have been slaves for generations also had the opportunity to be civilians, so they were naturally extremely happy. Finally, they speculated that 70% of the people who should account for were willing to move to Yan State."
Speaking of this, after summarizing the ideas, Deng Ai said: "Those powerful nobles still had money after moving to Yan State, but the land they owned for generations was lost. This was a heavy blow to them, and it was understandable that they were unwilling to leave. Therefore, they secretly led the people to attack the palace, in order to force the king to submit."
"Forcing me to submit?"
Gongsun Xiu stood up as if he had heard a huge joke, and said with a high voice: "Even the entire Goguryeo has been defeated. The soldiers came thousands of miles in the rain of swords, guns and arrows. How dare you, the small country, the ministers of the devastated country, force me to submit? Since they are unwilling to leave, let them stay."
Deng Zhong was stunned: "The king planned to let them stay?"
"Let their lives be left behind."
Deng Zhong had never seen such a vicious side of the King of Yan before, and could not help but shivered.
Gongsun Xiu snorted and said, "If they want to resist, they will keep their lives and take away their money. After all, Gu only confiscated the money and jewelry in the Dongchuan Palace, but he has not yet collapsed these powerful people who occupy a large amount of wealth and population. Maybe they can scrape out a lot of money into their pockets."
Deng Ai nodded and said, "But they have private soldiers and troops. If they forcefully suppress them, there will be a lot of trouble."
"If they are given a chance, they will have to fight each other if they don't want to leave. The 20,000 troops of the King of Dongchuan are not the opponent of our army. Is it worthy of competing with our army by the mobs? The chaos has to be in chaos. Gu originally wanted to be a wise king, but they forced Gu to raise the butcher knife, thinking that the butcher knife would not dare to fall. This time I will teach them a good understanding."
Gongsun Xiu was quite angry and said word by word.
Deng Ai thought that these deeply rooted forces had to raise the butcher's knife. After all, a small number of powerful people occupying privileges occupy a large number of slaves and land. If they are cut off, they can also get a lot of financial feedback. He gritted his teeth and said, "This matter can be done in this way. You can't just say it blatantly, just investigate the assassins, get evidence, and directly participate in the secret, and directly participate in the indirect participants. All those who should be killed will be killed, those who should be slaves will be confiscated. "
He thought that this house search would be rich, so why not do it, and nodded, "But we have to invade from the inside. After all, we are outsiders. Although we are with the powerful soldiers in our hands, it is easy to massacre them, but it is difficult to find flaws."
Deng Ai also fell into deep thought. In this situation, these powerful nobles and nobles naturally had the same spirit and would never give them a handle. This was a bit difficult to inspect. He only said: "There must be clues that can be found. We will immediately send someone to search. Once the evidence is obtained, the king can remove them openly and take away the confiscated property, and will not be criticized by contemporary future generations."
When Gongsun Xiu heard him say this, he suddenly thought of Ke Mo and immediately smiled: "I know that one person can cooperate with the general's patrol clues. If this person makes merit, he can keep it for use in the future."
