Sure enough, just as the Blackwater nobles and powerful men expected, the Han Emperor's decree came back within a few days.
Lu Ao, the envoy of Lu, immediately sent people to Jindu City to summon the powerful nobles of Heishui to come to Diaozhou to receive the edict. Lu Ao's envoy also brought a lot of brand-new official uniforms, ceremonial swordfish bags, etc.
Almost everyone got the official position they wanted. Everyone was smiling and looking forward to the beautiful days after joining Liaodong County in the future.
In order to realize this dream as early as possible, they set foot on the road to Diaozhou City without hesitation.
Hundreds of miles of mountain and forest roads, these Blackwater heroes worked hard and arrived in just two or three days.
"Lu Shijun has ordered that you all rest in the post house for two days. When the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, I will grant you the imperial title!"
Facing a large group of dusty Blackwater nobles, Lu Shijun's disciples received them very politely.
Because of the distance of the road, there are still many Blackwater heroes who have not yet arrived.
Moreover, Lu Shijun also told them that their Black Water King was still on his way to Youzhou and would arrive just in time to start the official sealing ceremony in two days.
These Blackwater nobles also think this wait makes sense.
Although the 'Blackwater King' is only a child of a few years old, he is their nominal monarch after all. This time, he will serve as the 'Blackwater Protector', so he cannot be absent.
In this way, a group of black water nobles and powerful people waited for two days to eat and drink, and finally everyone was waiting.
However, they did not wait for the young 'Black Water King', but waited for the Black Water King's mother, Jin Aman, the concubine of the Han Emperor.
"Why did the Queen Mother come in person?"
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Jin Aman.
Although Jin Aman, mother and son hold the title of King of Black Water, they almost all live in Luoyang and rarely appear in public.
Looking at these people in front of him, Jin Aman had no expression on his face.
She glanced coldly, and then said with great authority.
"I came here today just to tell you something important personally."
Everyone was confused and asked what was going on.
"Now that the Holy Emperor is coming to the throne, it is as if all the barbarians in the country are trying to be transformed. My son is a nobleman of the Han Dynasty, but he holds the title of king of Heishui. It is really unreasonable."
"So, starting from today, I, Jin Aman, in the name of the Queen Mother, will retire from the title of King of Black Water and wait respectfully for the emperor's disposal."
After hearing this, a group of Blackwater nobles were so confused that they did not understand what Jin Aman meant.
"Princess, what does this mean?"
"The princess wants the king to abdicate? Then who will succeed the king?"
Two respected old men from Heishui asked with trembling beards.
Everyone else looked happy when they heard this.
They had long been dissatisfied that a woman named Jin Aman had used her husband's family's power to usurp the throne of her father and brother.
Now that Jin Aman is so understanding and willing to hand over the throne, that is really great.
This shows that the secret resistance of the Blackwater nobles in recent years has worked, forcing the Han emperor to give up.
However, Jin Aman's subsequent words were like thunder, shaking them out of their wits.
"Well, you are right. The Black Water King is indeed going to abdicate, but there will be no one to inherit the throne."
Jin Aman said in a cold tone.
In her heart, she was extremely reluctant to Liu Yu's approach of completely erasing the Blackwater Kingdom.
However, she knew clearly in her heart how powerful the Han army was. It was a hundred times more powerful than Heishui. Not to mention making the people of Heishui no longer respect their king, it was very difficult to completely push Heishui and Jin. relaxing.
After weighing the situation, Jin Aman obediently obeyed Liu Yu's arrangement and came to Liaodong in person to take care of the funeral affairs of the Blackwater Kingdom.
"Princess, what does this mean?"
Someone immediately heard that there was something in Jin Aman's words.
"My meaning is very clear. From now on, there will be no Blackwater King or Blackwater Kingdom."
"The emperor will change the country into a county and reorganize the farmland. As the retainers of the Black Water King, you will all move to Luoyang to continue serving."
After Jin Aman finished speaking, all the Blackwater nobles and powerful men were stunned.
Everyone was stunned by the news.
After a while, someone finally burst out wailing.
"Princess! It's been 500 years since the founding of our country, how could you do this?"
An old man from Heishui with gray hair said sadly.
Everyone also reacted. They were all filled with great anger and rushed to ask Jin Aman.
However, at this moment, the originally quiet courtyard was suddenly surrounded by the sound of shouting orders and clashing of soldiers' armor.
"Kakaka!"
With the sound of armor leaves rubbing against each other, a large number of Han troops wearing Mingguang armor poured into the front and back gates of the mansion at the same time.
These Han soldiers all had fierce expressions, and with the swords, guns, and crossbows in their hands, all the Blackwater nobles were so frightened that they fell silent.
There was another burst of hurried footsteps, and many Han troops holding crossbows also appeared on the surrounding walls.
"Hahaha, I'm late, I kept you waiting for a long time."
As a hearty and deep voice came, Lu Ao, the governor of Diaozhou, the captain of the Dongyi School of the Han Dynasty, appeared in front of everyone.
"Lu Shijun, what on earth is going on!"
When an old man from Heishui saw Lu Ao, he immediately saluted and asked.
It was obvious that this person and Lu Ao were already old acquaintances.
"Why, didn't Jin Zhaoyi make it clear just now? From now on, the Heishui Kingdom will be abolished and reorganized into the three counties of Heishui. You will no longer have to suffer in the bitter cold land. They will all be moved to Luoyang. The Holy Emperor will prepare it for you. We have fertile land, gorgeous mansions, and obedient Hu slaves from the Western Regions, who are much better than the savage slaves in the mountains and forests here."
When Lu Ao said these words, he always had an attitude on his face that he was a member of a noble family.
The Heishui people in the mansion were not fools, so how could they not understand what Jin Aman and Lu Ao meant.
In just two sentences, a huge Blackwater Kingdom was destroyed?
Just extinguish the Buyeo royal family, which has been inherited for more than 500 years?
Are they, the nobles of Blackwater who have been here for hundreds of years, moved to the Central Plains to become servants of the Han people?
It is unbearable!
"Haha, Zhaoyi is the Queen Mother of Blackwater. I have finished speaking. Since everyone agrees, Lu will teach everyone how to handle the next step!" Lu Ao said with a warm smile.
"I disagree!"
"I don't agree either!"
The two black water old men rushed out angrily and said.
Lu Ao glanced coldly and smiled sarcastically.
"You are just savages in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, Jin Zhaoyi spoke kindly in front of His Majesty, and you can live a prosperous life in Luoyang. How can you be so ignorant of praise?"
Lu Ao's words were full of ridicule.
Everyone in Heishui in the courtyard had angry expressions on their faces.
"You are just savages in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, Jin Zhaoyi spoke kindly in front of His Majesty, and you can live a prosperous life in Luoyang. How can you be so ignorant of praise?"
Lu Ao's words were full of ridicule.
Everyone in Heishui in the courtyard had angry expressions on their faces.
They all fully understand that although Liaodong is a bit backward outside the Great Wall, they are all proper masters here. If they all arrive in Luoyang, it will be the territory of the Han people, and they will become slaves instead.
How could such a gap make them not angry?
"Not only are you not grateful for the emperor's great kindness, but you are still nagging here. It is really disrespectful!"
Lu Ao's face suddenly darkened and he shouted orders to the left and right.
"Come on, let these two criminals be punished on the spot!"
Then two sturdy sergeants rushed forward, and all the Blackwater people present were shocked.
In the past few years, the punishments in Liaodong County have been lenient. Even the detainees such as Heishui people and Fuyu people are very tolerant, and they only hunt and kill some criminals.
Such a clear plan to kill two Blackwater nobles was far beyond everyone's expectations.
Seeing the two fierce-looking sergeants rushing out, some Blackwater leaders immediately knelt down and wanted to plead to let these two old men go.
However, their reaction was still a step slow.
"puff!"
"puff!"
After two muffled sounds, bright red blood flowed unbridled on the ground.
"Whoever dares to disobey orders will suffer the consequences!"
Lu Ao ordered the two golden heads to be raised up to intimidate the rest of the people present.
At this time, all the Blackwater leaders were completely dumbfounded.
Looking at the posture, Lu Ao or the Han people were determined to drive them out of their hometown in Heishui. Even if there was the slightest objection, they would not hesitate to kill them.
Most of the noble leaders of the Blackwater people immediately became prisoners who obeyed orders, and no one dared to resist.
A few days later, more than 10,000 cavalrymen came from Liaozhou and followed Jin Aman to take over the Blackwater Kingdom in Jindu.
Almost most of the leaders of the Blackwater people were captured. The Blackwater people who stayed in Jindu were leaderless and completely surrendered without any resistance.
"Hmph, from now on, there will no longer be a Blackwater Kingdom, and this Golden Capital City should no longer be called a capital city."
Under the threat of powerful reinforcements, the Blackwater people in the entire Jindu City could only borrow one or two eggs to survive.
"Gong Lu is right! His Majesty has ordered that this Jindu City will be demolished after all the people have been relocated!"
Jin Aman looked at the Jindu City in front of her, and there was no trace of sadness or regret in her words, as if the Jindu City in front of her was not her mother's hometown.
When Lu Ao heard this, he couldn't help but admire this Blackwater woman of his own nephew's generation.
Sure enough, when a woman becomes heartless, what she really means is that she does not recognize her relatives.
"As for those Blackwater people, the Holy Emperor loves the people the most when he comes to court. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as destroying Jindu City."
When Lu Ao and Jin Aman were supervising the work, suddenly there was a smell of phlegm. It probably wasn't the flowers and plants, but maybe something in the herbal tea.
=·=·=·
Luoyang, the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yu looked at the enveloped memorial in front of him, and his whole mood was very good.
"Hahaha, Lu Ao deserves to be the leader in Liaodong. He has already dealt with all the powerful men in Blackwater."
"Your Majesty, Blackwater is just a small wild country after all. Now it costs a lot to move all the people, and we have to monitor in Liaodong, so it may be wasted again."
Gongsun Sheng on the side saw Liu Yujinxing and immediately reminded him.
At present, Brother Zhu is naturally cheaper and easier to write wrong. Even if there is a rebellion by Zhen Ding Wang Liu Yang, there is still no organization for Liu Yu to settle in the city.
"Hey, you don't understand this. Liaodong is not only a desolate county, but also a possible threat in the future."
"Although Heishui's national power is weak, the number of Dingkou counted this time is no less than that of a Zhongxiazhou county in the Central Plains. In addition, the land here is fertile. If it is not eliminated early, I'm afraid it won't take long. I’m going to hate this car.”
Liu Yu knew what extremely ferocious military forces Heishui had seen in history.
This fully shows that the territory of Heishui is now far larger than that of the Western Region.
"However, these Heishui people migrated from the vicinity of Jindu to Youzhou. The journey was hundreds of miles, and the hardships and dangers involved were probably not small." Gongsun Sheng said.
When Liu Yu heard this, he didn't care at all.
"If these Heishui people can't even endure this little hardship, how can they serve as tenant farmers for the Han people when they enter the Central Plains in the future?"
"Besides, even if some more Blackwater people die on the road, it will be beneficial to us."
In fact, Liu Yu didn't care at all about the life and death of these Blackwater people.
With such a large population, if there were not more casualties, Liu Yu would still be worried about poisonous people occupying the magpie's nest in the future.
Just as Liu Yu and Gongsun Sheng were discussing how to disperse the Blackwater people, a chamberlain came in holding an urgent report.
"Your Majesty, the urgent report just came from Liaodong!"
"bring here!"
When he heard that it was Liaodong County, Liu Yu grabbed the memorial and read it very seriously.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Liu Yu smiled lightly and handed the memorial to Gongsun Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng took it and took a look, his face darkened.
"Lu Ao is stupid, he is really a thief who is harming the country!" Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but cursed.
This memorial letter submitted by Lu Ao said that many Blackwater nobles resisted migration and formed villages in the mountains and forests to protect themselves, refusing to obey the orders of the government and the court.
In order to force them to obey, Lu Ao led northern Fuyu, Sushen and other tribes to the south to squeeze the Heishui people.
But I never expected that these tribes such as Beifuyu Sushen and others were inspired by the Blackwater people and had united with each other. Not only did they reoccupy Jindu City, but they also raised their troops to restore the Blackwater Kingdom's banner with great fanfare.
"Isn't Jindu City already demolished? What's the use of these rebels occupying it?" Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but wonder.
Love reading books
"How can such a big city be really demolished? It's just that some houses were destroyed, and the city walls are mostly intact." Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, now that Black Water has descended and rebelled again, he is indeed a treacherous person. We should send troops to destroy him as soon as possible."
When Liu Yu heard this, he shook his head.
"It's too late. It's already winter. The bitter cold between the black water outside the Great Wall is not a suitable time for marching and fighting."
The plan to migrate the Blackwater people had only been carried out to a very small extent, and such a rebellion occurred, which really surprised Liu Yu.
"Lu Ao is so incompetent that he did such an extraneous act."
