When Liu Bu and his men saw that something had happened in Yangzhou City, they dared not neglect it and immediately led the troops straight to Yangzhou.
They knew that what happened in Yangzhou was actually that the people were making trouble, but after hearing that their money was gone, Liu Bu believed that as long as his army arrived, the chaos could be put down immediately.
His Liu family army is the elite in the world, but it is a famous army. Not to mention dealing with a group of mobs, it is dealing with Hong Chengchou's elite soldiers. They are all confident.
Not only did Liu Bu think so, but even Zhu Dadian thought so. They suggested to Liu Jiajun that his army should quickly enter Yangzhou City, but they should not kill. After all, they were all villagers. They knew that they had no money. They were angry and angry.
Liu Bu was going to send his horse team to chase Hong Chengchou. He planned to give him a hard blow even if he didn't clean up Hong Chengchou this time, so that he would have to walk around when he saw himself.
But now the situation has changed. He has no choice but to go to Yangzhou city to put down the riots. He is worried that over time, the whole Yangzhou city will be burned by the mob.
Liu Bu had a premonition that he had cheated so many people's money. These people must be dissatisfied and would make trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. His elite army was ready and his Liu family army had completed the mobilization, not to deal with the rich or Hong Chengchou's army, They are also prepared to deal with these people and mobs.
Liu Bu and his colleagues have a prediction that they have pocketed so many people's money. The other party must be very dissatisfied and dissatisfied. There will be trouble and unrest. There is no way. They have no choice but to do so.
Of course, Liu Bu has no regrets about this. Is the suffering of Yangzhou people very bitter? If we talk about the original, is it not the beginning yet? On the tenth day of Yangzhou in history, this is a human tragedy. It is said that after the Qing army captured Yangzhou, it carried out a massacre here for ten days. It is said that there are 800000 people in Yangzhou City, but after the tenth day, it is less than 10000, but countless people died in war and fire.
Now Liu Bu is sitting here. There will certainly be no Yangzhou 10th. We can only say that we can exchange small pain for big pain.
His elite horse team went all out and rushed to Yangzhou city. Half of his ministers arrived.
Sure enough, as they expected, the people who made trouble in Yangzhou were angry people who heard that their money was gone. They had no organization and no connection. They just wantonly destroyed here to vent their dissatisfaction.
These people have no savings, they don't know what to do, and they don't know what to do. They just subconsciously go out to make a noise and wreak havoc. In addition, the city officials and yamen all rushed to Qingyun Mountain and were trapped here, which became a power vacuum and no one controlled, The situation in Yangzhou city suddenly began to get out of control.
Liu Bu and his team have considered this situation and practiced coping strategies. They know that so many people, so many people's money has been taken away, they can't be indifferent. They can't say nothing. Rebellion and unrest are expected, so they also made plans for it.
However, in their original plan, after they cleaned up Hong Chengchou, they marched in large numbers, stationed in Yangzhou and several houses and towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Whoever dares to make trouble or mess around here, they directly sent troops to exterminate and suppress the unrest by force.
Mizhu knows that many people will die in this way. You know, although the government forces are strong, so many people's money has been taken away. The more they think, the more inappropriate it is. They will resist angrily and rise up.
The more the government suppressed, the more they resisted. Even if the tyranny was fiercer than the tiger, some people took risks. It can be said that the more the government suppressed, the more they resisted. Liu Bu and they were all considering how strong the other party's resistance would be this time?
If the whole people in Jiangnan oppose, even if their Liu family army is powerful and the imperial army is powerful, they can't control the situation, and they will completely lose here.
One thing Liu Bu is very sure of, that is, it is impossible for the whole people in Jiangnan to oppose them, because they focus on those powerful and rich people this time. For those people, they basically don't cheat.
They set a threshold of 5000 taels before issuing the bill. Many people can't take it out. Those who can take out 5000 taels of silver are regarded as rich families.
For those who borrowed enough money to do 5000 yuan, Liu Bu and they ate it impolitely. There is no money in the world and they don't eat it.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, the rich in Jiangnan are too rich and rich. These people spend money, which is more beautiful and luxurious than the emperor. In the end, whose hands do these people's money fall into? In the original version, JianNu fell into the hands of JianNu. In order to capture the south of the Yangtze River, JianNu slaughtered the people here and plundered a lot of property here.
They can occupy the Central Plains and quickly prosper for decades because they have seized a lot of money here in the Central Plains, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, killing and robbing all the wealth accumulated by generations
Why did they engage in the third massacre in Jiading on the 10th of Yangzhou? In fact, the ultimate goal was to rob money. Liu Bu thought that instead of letting others rob the money, he might as well let himself rob the money and turn the money into a practical force to fight and build slaves and defend the people. Finally, he achieved the role of taking it from the people and using it for the people.
If they take the silver, they will certainly hurt some people and many people, but there is no way. He only knows that there is no way to have the best of both worlds. He can't take care of the interests of the rich and the people on the one hand and fight slaves on the other.
He knew that JianNu was hard to deal with. He wanted to concentrate all his strength on JianNu. Instead of letting JianNu take all the money, he might as well use it to build super equipment to deal with JianNu.
What will he do with these weapons and equipment? He can equip his army on a large scale and buy a large number of red cannon.
You know, the Ming Court also knows the power of the red cannon. Since they killed the old slaves, the whole court has a superstitious dependence on the red cannon. They even think that as long as there are red cannons in the city, they can make them go all the way.
Even so, the imperial court is very stingy in buying red cannon. Basically, they buy it with their teeth. To say a bad word, the number of red cannon in their hands is not as good as that of Liu Jiajun.
Liu Jiajun already had a large number of red cannon. After they had so much silver, Liu Bu waved his hand directly this time, that is to establish his own red cannon factory anyway.
Liu Bu is not satisfied with buying red cannon from Portuguese or Dutch, but wants to have the ability to produce red cannon directly. He will have as much as he wants at that time.
You know, in the original version, the barbarians JianNu from Tungus forest have the ability to make red cannon. After they successfully copied the red cannon, they established an exclusive heavy artillery camp. After that, Daming lost this ability. What was the final result? Daming is getting worse day by day, completely losing its strategic offensive ability.
In the original version of the battle of Songshan, JianNu dispatched hundreds of red cannon to attack Songshan day and night. In World War I, the elite of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were eliminated. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has no strategic offensive ability outside the pass and no ability to deal with JianNu, which has laid the foundation for JianNu to unify the world.
Not only was the Ming Dynasty superstitious about the red cannon, but even Liu Bu wanted to believe that the truth was within the range of the cannon. As long as he had the cannon in hand, he would go all the way.
With these ideas, he plundered the people's wealth by any means at any cost. As long as he got the money and used it to build a strong army, eliminate JianNu, eliminate roving bandits and protect the people, he did it without hesitation even if the money came from unknown sources and the process was bloody.
When he became a general himself, he understood that kindness did not control soldiers and righteousness did not control money. Therefore, he did not hesitate to send troops directly to suppress the unrest in Yangzhou city. He directly said to his soldiers: "Wherever the army goes, those who dare to resist will be killed. Wherever the army goes, whoever it is, will go home, and those who violate it will be killed."
Of course, Liu Bu is still a kind person and a person who loves the people like a son. Although he shouted fiercely orally, he still ordered the soldiers to go all out to drive into Yangzhou City, focusing on persuasion and appeasement. If the other party dares to resist, they will be killed. If the other party obeys their advice, lays down his weapons and takes the initiative to go home, they will not be investigated.
Because in this matter, Liu Bu and them are unjustifiable after all. If they hadn't used this despicable means to plunder so many people's wealth, these people wouldn't have been angry and made trouble.
Not to mention these docile people, even if they have the same experience, they will get up and make a big noise. They want to slash and kill at the same time, so that the whole society will be destroyed with themselves.
For these troublemakers, Liu Jiajun has a certain degree of restraint. They hope each other to lay down their weapons and take the initiative to go home. However, if someone dares to resist and fight against them, their army is a violent organization. Don't they smell that violent organizations are not bloody?
Therefore, Liu Bu ordered the army to go all out into the city and make a small team of 50 people to clean up and suppress all the blocks. If the other party retreats under his front, he will not be investigated. If he is still making trouble, robbing and killing, he will suppress them all, no matter who the other party is.
They know one thing very well, that is, in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. To deal with this kind of thing, we must cut the mess quickly. Being kind and soft will make the situation out of control and fall into a situation in which no one is in charge.
