Zhao Cheng said calmly.
No matter in any era, there is no shortage of similar people. The so-called reputation of these people is not because they have really contributed to the common people, but just because they are praised by people in their own circle.
In this world, ordinary people are in one circle, and scholars are in another circle.
The so-called reputation does not refer to the name among the people, but the name among the scholars.
The reputation of these two wise men in Wucheng was widely spread among scholars, and they also had many students.
Throughout the ages, few heroes have dared to kill such people, because the world always needs people to govern, and it will be very troublesome to hate scholars.
But Zhao Cheng is not afraid. The route he takes is not based on the clans in the world, nor on these scholars, but on the mud-legged people, the lowest level and the most miserable people.
These people are the foundation of his earthly kingdom.
The failure of Taoist Huang Tian has proved the unreliability of the clan and the unreliability of scholars. These people are high and have too many choices, so they are just outsiders.
Therefore, the first thing Zhao Cheng did after seizing the city was to spread his reputation in Wucheng. Those powerful clans thought he was telling them, but in fact, he was telling them to others. Cao Jie, who was favored by the powerful clan leader, heard this.
This is the foundation of Zhao Cheng's identification.
It's also Zhao Cheng. In his ideal world, if everyone in the world rebels, then he will kill everyone in the world. The world will still belong to the same world, and his confidence lies in it.
Today's world is just a world of wealthy and powerful families. If you kill them all, you will kill them all.
At the beginning of civilization, how could any powerful family exist? !
But at that time, everything was still competing and humanity continued.
Zhao Cheng previously held back and allowed these people with "fame" as talismans to become arrogant, but it was just that the foundation was not settled at that time and they were dormant temporarily.
It's just ridiculous. Some people can't see the form at all and think that this world is still the same world as before.
"Han Qing!"
Zhao Cheng's expression suddenly became stern.
"The mark is on!"
When Han Qing heard this, he did not dare to neglect at all. He immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"My military order is sent to me. There are thieves in the city who are collaborating with the enemy from inside and outside. The crime cannot be forgiven. I order the entire army to kill the three tribes!"
While he was talking, a piece of silk book fell in front of Han Qing. On it was a list of big households in the city. On it, nearly 70% of the names were now circled in red.
Looking at this number, Han Qing felt a chill in his heart. Each of those powerful families had a large population. If they were all killed, how many people would die?
But during this period of time, he followed Zhao Cheng, was trained by Zhao Cheng, and was influenced by the sun, but he also understood the dangers of these people.
Now that Wucheng has been captured and Wu Qi is still alive, if there is a battle between the two armies later, these people will really be able to open the city gate privately.
As for now, it is natural that there is no such thing as inside and outside enemies, but this is nothing. Letters about collaboration with enemies can be written immediately, and as many as you want can be written.
The reason why these people have to die is very simple, that is, there is the possibility of collaborating with the enemy. If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
Although Han Qing only glanced at the uncircled names, he had some impressions. The owners of these names were all outsiders, not locals of Wucheng. They did not have a deep local foundation, so they could survived.
…
In Wucheng, the night is still dark.
There was endless singing and dancing in several tall buildings in the city.
The changing of the king's flag at the top of the city did not affect the wealthy children in the city who were having fun.
"General Yingtian is just a bandit who got some luck. He wants to rule the world. Now there is only one city, so he wants to invite me to serve as an official for the old man. That is really humiliating himself."
"Let me tell you, that day, the people sent by the bandit were driven out by the old man in despair. Later, the bandit didn't even dare to fart."
"That's it, I'll return it to the general. When General Pingnan takes over, I'm afraid that's when the thief will die."
In the Zuihua Tower in the south of the city, the beautiful girl was singing and dancing, and several slutty boys were hugging the beauty. One of them seemed to be a little drunk and made such scornful remarks.
If you are an elite among the big families, you will naturally know that trouble comes from your mouth and be cautious in your words and deeds. However, although these flower wine drinkers are also children of the big families and are direct descendants, they are all incompetent members of the family. .
Precisely because they are both useless, they can get together instead.
Speaking of when Ying Tian's army just broke through the city, these people naturally did not dare to say such remarks, even if they were drunk, they would not dare.
But now, a month has passed, and the aggressiveness shown by Ying Tianjun is really too low. Not to mention the big clans like them, even against the ordinary people, they will not offend at all.
Not only that, even when recruiting soldiers, they did not forcibly capture strong men, but distributed the free money to the poor. In the eyes of these prodigal sons, this was simply a crime and they could not understand the situation clearly.
After all, what's the use of pleasing the common people? !
Things like grass are exploited in various ways on weekdays, but I don't see them becoming anything like them.
It is better to please these noble people, they are the people with power and voice in this world.
However, later on, they figured it out. They were just uneducated and incompetent, not stupid. With family knowledge, no matter how stupid they were, they could only be so stupid. They understood that they were probably rich and powerful, and they looked down on Zhao Cheng, a thief, so they were so stupid. I thought of trying to please the common people, trying to gain their support in this way.
I want to harvest the so-called hidden gems from the people.
"It's true. Just a while ago, that group of bandits wanted my brother to serve as an official. However, my brother has a great reputation for learning. Even if General Pingnan was here, my brother was still lacking in talent and knowledge. He still needs to I politely refused to continue studying. That Zhao thief, a mere group of bandits, also misses my Chu family unicorn, so they don’t take a piss to look after themselves..."
Another young man answered, and as he spoke, he became even more drunk.
In this era, talents all have the arrogance of talents. As for coercion, it is undoubtedly a violation of some unspoken rules. If it spreads, the reputation will be directly damaged, and no one will dare to obey in the future.
Therefore, no one thinks that there is a problem with such a refusal.
After all, this is how everyone plays. If you don't play according to the rules, I won't let you play.
Youdao means that scholars are noble and should not be insulted. That's it.
On a high building, a few promiscuous young men were talking loudly, and their words were heard by those beauties, but these promiscuous women did not take it seriously.
The vicissitudes of the world and the wind of war are difficult to blow to their gentle hometown. The worst is just to change a big boss at the top. No matter who becomes the boss, their lives will not be the same. There are too many changes.
Whether the country is destroyed or not, what does it have to do with duckweeds like them? !
Logically speaking, this group of libertines would probably drink until midnight until they died of drunkenness, and then sleep until the next day.
But this night, in the middle of the night, these people were awakened.
In the middle of the night, in the city, there was first the sound of neat running, the sound of the friction of armor, and then the collision of swords and guns, the sound of fighting, shouting, and wailing...
