Chapter 352 In the Depths of the Grassland, the Hero's End
At this time, within the major families in Chang'an City, there were scenes of black armored soldiers breaking into the door one after another, and then killing them indiscriminately.
The dead soldiers that the major families and clans usually train died one after another, and some experts in the rivers and lakes gave up their resistance when they saw that they couldn't do anything.
If you choose to capture it without a fight, those who resist will be ruthlessly annihilated!
After destroying the main members and powers of the major clans and clans, the Passion Army set off a frenzy to arrest the remnants of the clan in Chang'an City.
Under the terrifying means of the Qin army, countless secrets of aristocratic families hidden in inns, restaurants, and tea houses were picked up and arrested one after another, and they were all cleared.
Blood stained half of the sky, countless beheadings, corpses scattered everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers!
Under the horrific killing that lasted for half a day, the major clans and clans in Chang'an were slaughtered one after another, all the remnants of various parties were removed, and the clan forces in Chang'an were empty.
For hundreds of years, the entire Great Wei's clan forces have lost half of them today, while the other half of the clan forces scattered in the Great Wei Jiangshan still do not know about the change of Chang'an. In the near future, the imperial iron army will also arrive. !
At that time, there will be mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!
According to the statistics after the event, during the process of attacking Chang'an City and cleaning up the various great families in Chang'an, a total of 566 Jianghu masters and more than 400 sectarians died, a total of thousands of practitioners died at the hands of the Qin army.
In addition, the 23 large and small aristocratic families in Chang'an City were all razed, and more than 50,000 heads rolled to the ground.
The deep-rooted and intertwined family forces that have been intertwined for hundreds of years have now been purged in just a few hours, and no one has slipped through the net.
Chang'an City, an ancient city that has been around for hundreds of years, has also ushered in several catastrophe in a short period of time and almost collapsed.
But fortunately, Pei Xingjian ordered the Qin army not to damage the various buildings in Chang'an, especially the imperial city, but to protect it, otherwise this ancient city of Chang'an would be destroyed in one fell swoop!
Just kidding, from Pei Xingjian's point of view, the Great Wei Palace is intended to serve as His Majesty's temporary residence, so how could it be easily destroyed?
Besides, as long as you can dedicate your merits to Your Majesty and win His Majesty's favor, you are afraid that there will be no battles in the future and that you will not be able to take credit?
I have to say that Pei Xingjian, who was born in a Confucian school and has a prominent family background, in addition to his outstanding military general ability, his ability to figure out people's hearts is also not to be underestimated!
"It's just a clan of his family, how dare he threaten this general!"
"This time, it's just to kill one and show a hundred people. Not to mention that the world's families don't dare to resist, so what if they dare to resist?"
"My Qin Jia is still strong, Qin Jian is still strong, and anyone who dares to disobey His Majesty should be punished by death."
"What's more... the major clans and clans have already been on the cleaning list of the empire, and I don't know how the cleaning of the clans and clans is going after the rest of the generals finished the battle?"
After receiving the successful completion of the task of eradicating all gatekeepers in Chang'an, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but feel a burst of laughter when he thought about the words and deeds of those aristocratic gatekeepers not long ago.
Gatekeepers - the Empire can't stay!
The empire can allow a certain number of privileged classes to appear, but it absolutely does not allow aristocratic clans like Da Wei who can shake the imperial power to appear.
After all, His Majesty once said in public in Xianyang Palace: "It is the way of heaven for the strong to defeat the weak, and I do not want to go against the sky."
"The birth of the strong is extremely difficult, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has gone through all kinds of hardships. Forcing the strong and the weak to be equal is an inequality in itself!"
For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor personally promised the civil and military officials that as long as they did not violate the laws of Qin, the empire would allow the feudal lords and above to have certain privileges!
And there are more privileges, such as having a city as a fief. Although there is no military and political power within the fief, it has the right to handle three-tenths of the wealth that is handed over to the empire within the fief every year!
Even so, it has also attracted countless people. After all, as long as they can get the fief of a city, then the future generations will have nothing to worry about as long as they don't make any big mistakes!
And it is still very exciting to be able to use considerable wealth to buy cultivation resources for cultivation, so as to add strong family members and serve the empire again.
Another example is the priority to enjoy the high-level cultivation resources and high-level cultivation methods. When the empire promotes officials, it can be given priority, and a blood relative can also be selected to enter the Jixia Academy for training!
Wait, wait, and so on!
Although they didn't have the kind of power that the old nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States period could take away, they were the first in the empire, and these relatively rich privileges within the legal system were also eye-catching.
After all, it is extremely difficult to gain privileges in an empire.
Now in the empire, the only people who have these privileges are Wu Xinjun Zhang Yi, Shang Jun Shang Yang, Yan Jun Liji, and the right minister Wei Ran!
And these four people are also secretly called the Empire's Four Pillars by the Empire's civil and military!
The rest, such as Jiang Shang, director of the Academy of Literature, Sun Wu, director of the Academy of Military Affairs, as well as five ministers, fourteen state ministers, and seventeen army commanders did not have these privileges.
Therefore, after getting the promise of His Majesty, the empire has not yet been crowned lords and those who have not been crowned monarchs are all excited, even those old court officials are not immune to the common practice.
They all want to make contributions, and after accumulating enough merits, they will be promoted, in order to be named a marquis or even a monarch, ranking among the nobles of the empire, and Pei Xingjian is also one of them!
…
The black flag is rolling in the west wind, and the army is as majestic as a mountain!
At this moment, on the vast grassland, the two armies are facing each other!
I saw one of them screaming, holding a remnant flag, struggling to resist, surrounded by corpses of compatriots and soldiers, the blood dyed the beautiful grassland blood red, and the defeat was a complete defeat, leaving only a few hundred remnant defeated soldiers.
The other side is a large army of tens of thousands, holding the banner of the black dragon, wearing black clothes and black armor, with a strong and fierce army, the army is like a mountain, and the murderous black armor army.
The two armies were the defeated generals of Yan Xun and part of the army of Wei Xiaokuan's Ninth Corps.
Since the last time the main force of Yanbei was defeated, and the pseudo-wang Yanxun led the remnants into the depths of the grassland, Wei Xiaokuan divided the Ninth Corps into three, and the other supervised the various tribes in the grassland to prevent it from causing unrest.
The other two troops, with a total of 70,000 troops, entered the grasslands to hunt down the remnants of Yan Xun. Now that many days have passed, Wei Xiaokuan's army of more than 30,000 Qin troops finally found Yan Xun's remnants here.
In one round, Wei Xiaokuan crippled the army that Yan Xun had finally assembled.
The tens of thousands of troops were beaten by Wei Xiaokuan to a few hundred, and Yan Xun was defeated like a mountain!
Now it can only be slaughtered by others, and there is no resistance.
"Has this king really come to a dead end now?"
Looking at the lineup like a mountain, the imperial army that still stretches endlessly after being lined up is like the terrifying impact of the black wave.
During the battle, his right leg was stabbed by the Qin army's spear, and now he was held up by two soldiers. Yan Xun was silent in his heart.
In fact, it was not only Yan Xun, but also the hundreds of remnants of Yanbei's remnants.
Up to now, especially in the encounter just now, they have fully experienced the formidable terror of the imperial army.
At the same time, they also understand that today this place with fertile water and grass is afraid that it will also be the burial place for themselves and others!
