Chapter 509

Any system or class has an end, and nothing will last forever.

There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching that "the sun moves in the middle of the day, the moon gains and losses, things will reverse at the extreme, and prosperity and decline", which fully describes the evolution process of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family had no bad reputation at the beginning. On the contrary, the aristocratic family was the pioneer and creator at that time, and they led the expansion of China's territory.

Do you know how Huaxia's surname came from in the beginning? It was a group of people who occupied a certain place. For example, the name of the land was "Zhao". The king granted the land to the pioneer "Zhao". A family with a surname of "Zhao" also appeared.

Because of the name and surname of the fief, the surnames of each family in the pre-Qin period were not fixed, which changed with the transformation of the fief. In other words, the early Chinese surnames are a pioneering history. Any surname has a trace of the war between Chinese ancestors and foreign nationalities.

Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family had reached its peak. When the emperor of the Han Dynasty had no way to govern the country, there was a yellow scarf chaos, which made the aristocratic family strong in the name of recruitment. It had long been a chaotic separatist situation. Dong Zhuo's rebellion is actually a struggle between the poor family in Xiliang area and the Kanto aristocratic family. It is difficult to have the truth in history, and the aristocratic family forces will win.

In the early days of Cao Cao's career, Cao mengde's subordinates, in addition to his relatives, accounted for the majority. At first, only the Xun family in Yingchuan belonged to the shogunate. Until Cao mengde welcomed the emperor to Xudu and defeated Yuan Shao to capture Hebei and the dynasties, and the imperial court. Because of the continued death of the drama records and Guo Jia, the aristocratic family under Cao mengde's command fully rose.

The development of the aristocratic family reached its extreme when it came to the Cao Pi period, that is, Cao Cao's strategy of reusing the poor family all his life ended with Cao Pi, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent Cao Wei to be usurped by the Sima family.

Sima family was supported by the vast majority of aristocratic families to usurp the territory of Cao Wei. At this time, the class of aristocratic family had no enemies. Naturally, it could be extremely luxurious. After feeling that it should go on like this in the long run, the nine grade Zhongzheng system came into being.

There is only one core of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which redefines the social system of "being born with seed" in the ancient pre-Qin period, that is, what is born is doomed to the track of a lifetime. Talents at the lower level can not forge ahead, and no talents at the upper level can enjoy high officials and high salaries for a lifetime of wealth.

It may be that history is joking. During the period when China created "born with seed", a country called kusana on the land west of Tianshan Mountain is also making a similar system.

Kusana is a descendant of the Dayue family. After they were expelled by the Huns, they first went to the western regions. After they could not stand in the western regions, they retreated to the Indian subcontinent and destroyed more than ten countries to build the kusana Dynasty. This dynasty believed in religion throughout the country and believed that every class should have a fixed population. For example, the ruler is always the ruler, and the Dalits should be Dalits from generation to generation. After refinement, it is divided into nobles, officials, warriors, people and slaves, which is a caste system.

It may be unfortunate or lucky. Sima 1 jin had a "rebellion of the eight kings" because of the power struggle, and the great rivers and mountains were handed over to the Hu people. The process of "being born with seed" in the Central Plains was interrupted. If Sima 1 jin is made strong, China may be like India, making "born with seed" a system that will no longer be cut off. In the future, there will be two countries in the eastern continent that are born with a life class.

Most aristocratic families fled to the south of the Yangtze River with "crossing the south in clothes" and continued to live their life of drunkenness and dreams. Not all aristocratic families are really rotten to the end, but aspiring aristocratic families have always been excluded, which has happened many times. Although they can recover the Central Plains, all their previous achievements have been wasted.

The so-called "those who have no foreign enemies will die forever", regardless of class or people. The process of "being born with seed" was interrupted, and some aristocratic families began to reflect. Some ideas that had been discarded returned to some aristocratic families, and the idea of integrity naturally continued.

Xie AI was also born in an aristocratic family. If he had simply thought that those who came were going to fight back, he would probably know the reason why most people retreated under the impact of cavalry and those who looked like the son of an aristocratic family were killed like leading to death.

About two or three thousand people came to fight back. They left the cover of Jin archers on the wall of Waiguo city. They were confused by the impact of Han cavalry. The vast majority of people ran away crying and howling. Only a few warriors continued to fight with the aristocratic family, but they were soon submerged.

Huan Yun can believe that Xie AI has noticed. He said, "it should be done."

You can't spy on the aristocratic family with common sense. Sometimes it's better to die than not to die. Those victims will open the way to survival for the family to see whether Xie AI will succeed or not.

The official of the Han Dynasty regarded this southern expedition as a southern invasion. The official records also used the southern invasion instead of the southern expedition. It was both a war of recovery and a war of aggression. It can be imagined what the strategy was, and the elimination of more aristocratic families was one of the strategies.

Seeing that Xie AI was unmoved, Huan Yun said, "leaving these people may enable the defenders of stone city to see the kindness of the general and overcome them without fighting."

"Order..." Xie AI was moved by Huan Yun: "the prisoner."

There are many people who avoid becoming ghosts under the knife, and Yin Kang is one of them. After he was escorted to Xie AI, he didn't show much enthusiasm. He and many aristocratic families looked at Xie AI in silence. Of course, there was Huan Yun riding a cross war horse next to Xie AI.

"You wait, is there anyone willing to do meritorious service?" Xie AI didn't order the people to be bound, but he didn't have a good face: "can you persuade the defenders in the city to abandon the secret and turn to the bright?"

No one in the aristocratic family, including Yin Kang, spoke, and they remained silent.

"Don't worry, general." Huan Yun said with a smile, "maybe the garrison in the city will fall in a moment."

Aristocratic families don't do meaningless things, including sending people to die for no reason. There must be a purpose behind everything.

Xie AI is not stupid. He can even be said to be a very smart person. Even if he didn't think of it before, he should find out when he saw Huan Yun's behavior. He knew that if all the people who died in the future were killed, those aristocratic families would obey, but that was obedience. He knew that if he didn't kill, the aristocratic family would give a big gift.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, the Jin army flags at the top of the stone city were lowered, followed by the removal of flags everywhere. Soon, the horses and fences blocking the road were pushed away. Under the leadership of several people, a team of Jin troops went out of the fortification area. After they came out, they knelt on the ground.

"General." Huan Yun said with a smile, "this is a surprise."

Xie AI asked the deputy general to accept the surrender. Although his face was smiling, there was no joy in his heart. He only felt that the aristocratic family in Jiangnan was really decadent, and there was really no national righteousness.

The surrender of stone city was in full view of the public, and the Han army was naturally jubilant. Those who stood in the camp of the Han state with Huan Yun also cheered, shocked and angry, belonging to those who still stood in the camp of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The surrender of the defenders of stone city without war is an effect, which indicates that the originally neutral aristocratic family also begins to change the wind direction. It is good for Xie AI and other Han generals who led the army to Jiankang and those who abandoned the secret at the beginning, and bad news for those who want to resist to the end.

First, the stone city, followed by several Waiguo cities such as Jilong mountain and Zhongshan. The Jin troops outside the Waiguo City surrendered one after another. The effect was that the defenders of the Waiguo city wall were also in chaos.

Xie AI led the army to take advantage of the chaos and take down the Xili gate. However, he encountered desperate resistance when he wanted to enter again. Not only did they come all the way, Fu Wei's headquarters from Zhongshan succeeded in seizing the Beili gate. They also encountered strong resistance to re-enter.

Knowing that the Han Army had captured the West fence gate and the North fence gate of the Waiguo city wall, those who were at the Datong gate were of course crying. They gathered their strength as much as they could in despair for a desperate fight. The power erupted in despair was of some use and really blocked the Han army.

"Just a desperate fight." Huan Yun had no doubt about the final victory or defeat, but he had some doubts: "general, when can the follow-up army arrive?"

Yu Yi also said, "if it takes a long time, I'm afraid it will change."

Only about 20000 Han troops arrived in Jiankang city. Although it is helpful, it is really not enough for Jiankang city with a population of one million.

Xie AI is still unable to count how many people are on the side of the Han state. The data are the 60000 or 70000 armed forces in hand by Huan Yun and Yu Yi.

At present, Jiankang city has been in full chaos, and fighting is taking place everywhere. It is difficult for a limited number of 890000 people to control the outer city. If they do not fully control the outer city, they want to enter. What they face is what just happened. Their progress is blocked, and they are constantly attacked outside. Don't let the main force enter the outer city, but they are surrounded from the outside.

"Wang Xizhi took over the military power to the front?" Xie AI got the answer and asked, "how is this person?"

"Wang Yishao is a great calligrapher in yunei." Huan Yun knew what Xie AI asked, but he could not assert: "the king's valve or how depends on what resolution the general brings to the king."

Yu's family was forced to get into trouble. It should have been the protagonist, but Yu Yi made way for Huan's family because of Yu Yi's hesitation.

Huan's gate valve was returned to the Han Dynasty by Huan Yun because of Huan Wen's decision. This is a decisive family, and it will not shake its determination to make progress because of the secular world. Ignoring the bad reputation and rebelling to return to the Han, it is nothing more than to believe that the Han country ruled by Liu Yan will rule the world and make meritorious contributions through the small imperial court, so that the family can get better development.

Wang's gate valve was once very prosperous. Although it was weak, it was still the first gate valve in the south of the Yangtze River. Their long-term concealment strategy seems to make the family style tend to be weak, and they are not resolute when they encounter things, otherwise they will not show weakness with their strongest strength.

Although the Wang clan sent his family lineage to the state of Han, so far there has been no obvious movement in favor of the state of Han. Obviously, as Huan Yun said, the Wang clan is waiting for Liu Yan's attitude before making the next choice.

Xie AI had to work hard to win Jiankang before. It was not until Jiankang came. Although there was more civil strife in the small court, it was still not easy to seize Jiankang easily. He knew that he could not achieve the conversion strategy in a hurry, so he contacted Fu Wei. The two Han armies controlled the two gates of Waiguo and stopped invading inward. The first thing was to calm down the chaos outside.

Chu suanzi and others who returned to the palace city again learned that the Han army was no longer eager to go to the palace city. Some people were relieved, while others became more frustrated.

The Han army came too few. Although the rebels were organized, it was difficult to unify orders at the moment. If the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty could create a chance to win, it might be able to expel the invading Han Army, including the rebels, out of the city with high morale.

Recover the whole city of Jiankang and expel the Han Army and rebels. There should be people who are bent on resisting the Han Army in the city, which is much better than before. The second is to wait for Wang Xizhi to lead the army back. It is not impossible to win inside and outside. Winning will certainly boost the morale of the small imperial court. On the contrary, the morale of the Han army should be low. It is not impossible to stage a Jedi counterattack and drive the Han Army back to the north of the Yangtze River.

Now... All wise people know that the end is almost doomed, and those who should make a decision can no longer hesitate.

"There is a stalemate in the city. Even if he leads the army back, he can't take care of each other." Chu Li saw it clearly: "there are other disadvantages to our side. The stalemate will make more gentry take refuge in the puppet Han Dynasty. Xili gate is an example."

Chu suanzi looked at the officials who still quarreled after returning to the palace hall. She couldn't help it for a long time and asked, "what will happen to my mother and son if the country dies?"

Chu Li couldn't control him when his own daughter asked him such a question. He might have thought about it for a long time and replied, "the king of Han once accepted ran min as king. He didn't treat him badly, but he treated him very well."

"Ran Min has generals and talents. The king of Han loves them and uses them. He has great spirit. He is a young child." Chu suanzi asked, "if my daughter serves at the pillow, she can change her son's life without worry?"

Chu Li was a little complicated about the possibility that his daughter might be occupied. He replied, "maybe you can get an easy Hou."

It can be said that destroying a country and dominating concubines is a normal in Chinese history. Kings of all dynasties basically do this. The difference is whether the conquered concubines will be favored or spoiled. After destroying the enemy country, many kings usually play with the queen of the conquered country for a period of time to enjoy the pride after victory.

Chu suanzi said those frankly because she knew what fate she would have after the subjugation of the country, and she was also confident in her appearance. What she is not sure is whether she has the ability to serve Liu Yan readily so that she can get a trace of stinginess. She is not abandoned after being played with. For example, the tragic fate of those conquered kings and women themselves is not helpful to the family and children.

"If the country is subjugated..." Chu suanzi had an angry expression on his face: "what will happen to the aristocratic family?"

"The honor and disgrace of the Chu family lie in suanzi. The Huan family and other traitors may be rewarded, and the rest may be destroyed." Chu Li spoke with a very calm attitude. After a short silence, he continued: "as a father, he will not be an official later. Garlic son can rely on Xie Anshi."

The two father and daughter stayed aside and whispered, and the following quarrel had come to an end. Look at those people who come out more and more. They look serious, and the rest are shouting and scolding. They can get what the result will be from the shouting and scolding.
