Chapter 374
The smell of blood was filled with the hall, and the air was mixed with a bit of urination. Before Guo's death, he was already scared to pee.
Li Xiao put away his sword and wiped it with a white cloth.
Once again, the movements were meticulous and gentle, as if they were tender to a beauty.
The Baekje people in the hall didn't dare to let out a word. Just now, everyone mocked Li Xiao for being weak and bullied, but now they slashed the head of the clan with one knife.
The sword is put into the sheath.
Li Xiao's eyes swept over the Baekje people again, and no one dared to greet the eyes that looked directly at him, and they all bowed their heads.
This is the power of murder!
When a tiger does not show its power, no one will be afraid of it. When a tiger truly shows its power, everyone will crawl and tremble.
"Can someone come to the Yan family of Sha??"
Li Xiao asked a question.
Hearing the name, the heads of Sha and Yan clans in the hall were so scared that they were no longer looking at each other. They knelt on the ground with a plop.
They are actually the real cords. If the bones were hard enough, they would not have lived to this day. The one who was really hard in Wuzhenzhou City was the former governor Zhen. When the Tang army was at the city, he refused to surrender and led his troops out of the city to fight. As a result, he was defeated by Xue Rengui in one round and was finally captured and killed in front of the formation. His head was still hung on the gate of Wuzhenzhou City, and now it has become a ball of dried bones.
The two of them were incomplete in their words, and they just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"The Yan family of Sha is pretending to surrender, but secretly resists the might of heaven and kills him!"
Several guards stepped forward and dragged the two of them forward. This time, Li Xiao no longer had to do it himself. Zhang Cong and Liu Lian were responsible for it, and each one killed the two old guys.
After a while, three heads were placed in the drag plate.
The four major families in Wuzhenzhou City were beheaded on the day of the war, and the family was destroyed. The remaining three tribes, the Guo Yan family Sha family, were also taken down today.
"All the three tribes of the Yan clan of the Guo clan were confiscated, and their property was confiscated. All the men and women were slaves and sent to Danluo Island for auction."
With a word from Li Xiao, the three major families of the past disappeared.
This young man who had looked quite kind before had turned into a man-eating beast in front of Baekje people.
Only then did they remember that this man was the governor sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he and Xue Rengui were the same Tang people.
And the Tang people are beasts.
Someone's legs became weak and his knees were kneeling on the ground.
More and more people kneel down, even rushing to the forefront.
Looking at the Baekje people kneeling all over the ground in front of him, Li Xiao was very satisfied.
The so-called rule, if you have kindness, you must have power.
Only by combining kindness and power can one gain virtue only if one fears power.
Since the beginning of the Sui Emperor, several emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties have repeatedly sent troops to fight the east. Why?
In Yang Guang's words, the descendants will not worry. What should I worry about? I worry about the Liao Kingdom of Song, Jurchens, Mongolia, and Jin after Ming Dynasty.
Li Shimin fought countless wars throughout his life and destroyed many countries such as the Turks Gaochang. However, he was still very kind to the people of those conquered and destroyed countries, but he only slaughtered the city of Goguryeo in Liaodong. Why?
It is because in the eyes of these emperors, although the Turks on the grassland are also strong enemies, they are just border troubles. The real big troubles are the hundreds of years of farming and semi-nomadic dynasty like Goguryeo.
The Hu tribe on the grassland comes and goes like the wind, and the prosperity is fast and the death is fast. Sometimes, a heavy snow disaster may lead to weakening.
But agricultural civilization has extremely strong resilience.
Goguryeo was founded in Liaodong for seven hundred years, and developed from a small country in the past to a hegemony in the Northeast. This trend is surprising. The Goguryeo people successively invaded the four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty. Even during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they repeatedly used the turmoil in the Central Plains to invade the west of the Liao River.
Although in history, Goguryeo was finally killed for seven hundred years due to the continuous attacks of the Sui and Tang dynasties and did not allow him to enter Guanzhong. However, in history, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, some powerful forces continued to rise in the Northeast region, such as Bohai, Khitan, Silla, etc.
In fact, the Khitans accounted for part of the reason for the decline of the mid-Tang Tang. During the Wu Zetian period, the Tang army fought against the rebellious Khitan several times, causing countless soldiers and generals to be damaged, greatly reducing the strength of the Tang army. This also led to the Tang army's lack of strength when fighting against the Tubo people in the northwest, and the more they win, the fewer they lose.
It can even be said that the Khitans began to rise during the Tang Dynasty and eventually established a powerful Liao Kingdom during the Five Dynasties, which made the Northern Song Dynasty, which later unified the Central Plains, unable to destroy the Liao Kingdom for the restoration of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun throughout its entire life.
In some ways, forces like Goguryeo in Liaodong are actually more threatening to the Tang Dynasty than the Turkish Hu people on the northern grasslands.
The Turks only attacked and invaded the Tang Dynasty. If Goguryeo continues to grow and grow, it may allow them to eventually invade Guanzhong, drink horses and drink horses in the Yellow River and Yangtze River, and destroy the Han people's world.
Yang Jian saw this hidden danger in his early years, and he had to go to the east to goguryeo. Yang Guang also saw it, so he had to go to the three expeditions of Goguryeo. Li Shimin also saw it, so after he destroyed the Turks, he had to go to the three expeditions of Goguryeo when he was old.
Li Shimin was not stupid, nor was he a powerful emperor. He still wanted to conquer Goguryeo when he was old, not to add another note to his martial arts book, but to deeply feel the threat from the Goguryeo people.
Don’t worry future generations!
It was Yang Guang and Li Shimin who fought hard that eventually broke the backbone of the Northeast forces. Otherwise, I was afraid that forces like Liao, Jin and Qing would rise hundreds of years ahead of schedule.
"I was appointed by the emperor and was the Heavenly Official of the Tang Dynasty. Here we represent the Tang Empire. You are no longer a citizen of Baekje, but a citizen of my Tang Dynasty. You should abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to violate it, don't blame me for showing mercy."
Those people hurriedly kowtowed and agreed.
There are those three bloody heads, who dares not agree?
Zhao Chiman said bluntly, "Or why don't you just kill them, and you'll be over."
"Yes, let's kill it, and you can still make a fortune by raiding the family and exterminating the clan."
Those people were scared and urinated, but they really scared a few more.
The strong smell of urine spreads, and death is always so cruel.
Li Xiao deliberately pretended to think and waited for a while before shook his head.
"If you don't teach, you will not be punished in accordance with the spirit of the Tang Dynasty. The three families of Shayan in the Kingdom violated our law first, and other people and other officials cannot blame them."
But of course Li Xiao would not let these people go so easily.
He issued many orders in court, the first is to prohibit private possession of weapons, and to start confiscating all privately owned weapons from Baekje people from now on. Not only military-purpose weapons cannot be used, such as strong bows and hard crossbows, but even ordinary long-gun hunting bows are not allowed to be owned.
"Those who dare to hide their weapons will be killed immediately."
Except for allowing things like kitchen knives and hatchets, any weapon to kill cannot be possessed.
This is a key step, and confiscation of weapons is very beneficial to public security.
Second.
