Chapter 46: Mi Clan Extermination
Since it is unrealistic to solve the problems of the aristocratic families now, we must think about how to alleviate the tense relationship with these aristocratic families after the Mi family was searched and exterminated.
The three million people in Xuzhou have ate nearly half of them directly or indirectly by the vendors of the aristocratic family. This shows how powerful the aristocratic family is. Once the aristocratic family is determined to oppose Li Chen, it will be difficult for Li Chen to be a military force or a grain collection in the future.
Alas, the aristocratic family is really a problem for Li Chen. Killing is definitely not something that can’t be killed. If all the aristocratic families are wiped out, then Xuzhou will inevitably be empty.
The statement that Cao Cao massacred hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou in his previous life actually came from "The Biography of Cao Man". "The Biography of Cao Man" is a unofficial history, and it can be seen from the name "The Biography of Cao Man" that the central idea of this unofficial history is to belittle Cao Cao.
In the relatively orthodox "Biography of the Later Han", there is no record of Cao Cao's massacre of the people of Xuzhou. It only records that Cao Cao slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers in Sishui.
So Li Chen felt that when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou in his previous life, he might not have really slaughtered the people. Even if he slaughtered the people, he might not have slaughtered the tenants of these aristocratic families. Cao Cao was originally aristocratic family and had no reason to go against the aristocratic family.
Li Chen was thinking about it at the end, and finally he only thought of a way to ease his relationship with the aristocratic family, that is, to share the rain and dew. In addition to obtaining a large amount of gold, silver and grain, the most common ones were shops, farms, etc. in Xuzhou.
Shops and Zhuangzi are real estate. Although they cannot be cashed out in the short term, they are also tools that can make money continuously. Mi is gone. If Li Chen throws these shops and Zhuangzi out, then a large number of people will inevitably be jealous of them.
Li Chen is not an indecisive person. He is not good at managing and has no energy to do these business things. Even if the Zhuangzi was in his hands, he originally planned to sell these shops and exchange them for money to expand the army. Since this is the case, he simply used these shops and Zhuangzi to win over the rest of the families.
"Yuanlong, you, Chen, take 20% of the shops and villages of Mi, and I will sell the rest to these Xuzhou families at a market price of 30%." Li Chen paused and said.
Chen Deng bowed and said, "Lord is wise. If they get the benefits from Mi, they will naturally not stand up for Mi."
Chen Deng did not refuse the 20% benefit Li Chen gave to the Chen family. The development of the aristocratic family is increasing. If the other aristocratic families divide the Mi family and their strength is strengthened, it is equivalent to the weakening of the Chen family. The 20% benefit is undoubtedly that the Chen family has the largest share, so that the Chen family can maintain its dominance among the aristocratic family.
Sure enough, everything was previewed in the preset order, just like writing a script.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the city gate opened, all the families in Xuzhou rushed to Chen Deng's mansion. Chen Deng put the evidence of the Mi family collusion in front of everyone, and then offered Li Chen's conditions.
One hand is a big stick and the other hand is a red date. No one thinks that everyone chooses red dates. In the face of interests, no one is speaking for Mi.
Judging from the whole thing, what Mi did was actually not in line with the interests of the Xuzhou family. The interests of the Xuzhou family were that Xuzhou was not affected by military disasters, so what they needed was a powerful provincial governor who could protect Xuzhou.
Li Chen may not be the favorite of these Xuzhou families, but there is no doubt that Li Chen's power is definitely stronger than Liu Bei. The Mi family is determined to welcome Liu Bei into Xuzhou, which is not in line with the core values of the Xuzhou family. This is also one of the reasons why no one speaks out for Mi family today.
Of course, the most important reason is that Li Chen gave too much.
At noon, outside Xuzhou City, this is the time when the yang energy is at its peak.
On the open space outside Xuzhou City, the outermost periphery was guarded by more than 10,000 soldiers. Li Chen could guarantee that as long as it was Gongsun Zan or Liu Bei, as long as he dared to come and rob people, he would have to pay a heavy price.
However, the facts still prove that Liu Bei is a person who is generous and kind on the surface, but is actually a false and righteous person. The reason why Mi was imprisoned here was about to face the disaster of extermination was because Mi Zhu took the risk to save Liu Bei. However, under this situation, Liu Bei did not even try to save people.
A high platform was built directly above the execution ground, and a low table was placed on it, and a tiger skin was spread beside it. Li Chen was half lying on the tiger skin and pretending to sleep.
Li Chen was half lying, like a tiger descending the mountain, or like a giant dragon circling in the clouds and mist. His momentum was very terrifying. After today, the Xuzhou family would inevitably be very respectful to Li Chen.
Below the execution ground, there are people watching the fun. As the saying goes, those who watch the fun do not care about the big deal, and many people who see the funeral do not care about the death. Those who die today will otherwise be able to satisfy the psychological comfort of these poor people.
For poor people, the two happiest things are: one is that they become rich, and the second is that other rich people die.
Although they cannot become rich people today, they are very happy to see the rich people dying in piles.
At this time, Li Chen did not notice. Among the crowd, a beautiful girl with a jass appearance in the little family was staring at him fiercely. The girl seemed to be afraid of being recognized, and her face was covered with incense ash and her eyes were red.
"The Palace Commander, it has arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon. Will the execution be executed?"
At this time, when the sunlight was rising to its highest point, Luo Yangxing, who was wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered with a spring knife, stepped forward to ask for orders.
"Well, let's kill it." Li Chen replied in a low voice.
A moment later, the Jinyiwei's strongman came up with the first group of people, and among the first group of people, Mi Fang was about to come.
"Li Chen, Li Chen, if you destroy the entire Mi clan, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost?" Mi Fang knelt on the execution ground and roared loudly.
"Hmph, let's talk about it when you are a ghost." Li Chen hummed disapprovingly on the platform.
Being fashionable and able to kill you, so why are you afraid of being a ghost?
"Noisy!" Luo Yangxing said coldly and angrily, then pulled out the Xiuchun knife from his waist, and as he raised his hand, he saw Mi Fang's head rolling far away.
"two......"
Among the people, the jasper-like girl in the small family let out a heart-wrenching cry, trying to rush forward. However, before the shouting was made, the person behind him covered his mouth tightly and dragged it back into the crowd.
Luo Yangxing raised his sword and slashed Mi Fang, and then the Jinyiwei people began a round of massacres. Not long after, hundreds of people fell to the ground. The yellow land under the execution ground turned bloody.
The strong smell of blood surged into people's noses, and many of the people in the crowd changed color.
"Three days after the body was exposed."
After the execution, Luo Yangxing shouted at his subordinate Jinyiwei.
At this time, a pillar had been erected on both sides of the official road outside Xuzhou City every ten meters. The bodies of the Mi family's children would be hung on it to warn those who have different intentions that this would be the fate of colluding with the enemy.
