Because there were still many rebel forces nearby, the Fuso court mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally during the negotiations between the two sides. It was only after listening to the reports from his subordinates that Li Xiang began to implement the bloody suppression policy. The signs of these rebel forces must be suppressed, otherwise similar things will happen in other places in the future.
On the surface, we occupied Fukuoka and Nagasaki, but if someone came to attack us every night, no matter what we did, we would have to worry about whether someone was watching us in secret, and then everything we did would be ineffective.
So under Li Xiang's order, the entire city started a new round of arrests before robbing these rich and bad guys. The lives of ordinary people were not greatly affected, but their private land and property had been confiscated. If they wanted to farm in the future, they had to pay part of the taxes and rent. The remaining food was only enough for you to live, and you had to eat coarse grains.
Why did Li Xiang do this? Because he was from the 21st century. Whatever the Japanese did to us, we must now repay you tenfold or a hundredfold. Although the Japanese of this era had not done anything bad to the Tang Dynasty, there was no guarantee that you would do it in the future. After all, you are all of the same race, so atonement for the sins of people from another time period is also justifiable. After all, Li Xiang felt that he could feel at ease with any bad things he did to you people.
"Why are you arresting me again, General? I've given you all my money and land."
On the streets of Fukuoka, an elderly man in his fifties said with some fear that he was originally considered above middle class in the local area, but after being visited twice by people from the Tang Dynasty, there were only a few dilapidated houses left in his home, and three or four people lived in these dilapidated houses, so now he thought that everything should be fine. People from the Tang Dynasty specifically cater to rich people, and now he is so poor, could he still be favored by people from the Tang Dynasty?
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Where did your two sons go? If you don't know, then let me answer you. They attacked our port last night and caused us considerable damage, so you must pay the price for it. And the three remaining people in your family, all of you, come out now."
Under the oppression of two Tang soldiers and ten Fuso warriors, all the family members came out trembling with fear. Seeing the anger on the faces of the Tang soldiers, they knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.
The old man felt a little regretful at this moment. After the Tang Dynasty took his money, he felt a little uncomfortable, so when the resistance organization came to him, he immediately pushed his two sons over and asked them to follow these rebels up the mountain to make the Tang Dynasty pay for its blood debt with blood.
And this old man was not idle either. Although all the property in his home was taken away, he still had a place to store grain, which contained several thousand kilograms of grain. This old man did not eat a single kilogram of grain himself, and gave all the grain to the rebels. The rebels still have the energy to do such a thing now, and this old man has made an indelible contribution. So who else should we arrest if not you?
"Where are you taking us? You posted a notice to reassure the public two days ago. As long as we obey your rules, you can't persecute us at will. Is it all fake? And the name of the Prince of Tang is even on it?"
The old man was also a smart man. He knew that if he was taken away, it would be impossible for him to come back, so he had to make a fuss about this matter while there were many people on the street. Only by causing a social response could he save his life.
The Tang soldiers had long known what he was thinking. Seeing more and more people gathering around, the Tang soldiers went up and slapped him twice. These two slaps could be said to be real and without any effort. The old man spat out a mouthful of blood foam. The surrounding Fusang people were also watching, with a lot of dissatisfaction in their eyes. It was obvious that what the old man said was right, how could you just hit people?
"I know what you're thinking. You think our Tang army did something wrong. Now I'll let you know if we did anything wrong. Neighbors, come over and identify these two men. Are they his sons? His son hasn't been seen in a long time. Now I can tell you, they've gone up the mountain and become rebels. In our Tang Dynasty creed, we only protect the safety of all good citizens, and will never protect the safety of the families of these rebels. So you don't need to worry. As long as there are no rebels in your family, we will never come to your door. If there are rebels, you can also stand up and sever ties with your rebel family."
The Tang soldiers shouted, and some of the surrounding civilians came up to identify them. Sure enough, they were the old man's two sons. Everyone was still wondering why they were not there now. His two sons were very filial and usually didn't want their father to do any work. It turned out that they had gone to the mountains to become rebels.
"Anything else you want to say?"
The Tang soldier put one hand on the hilt of his sword and supported the old man with the other. Everyone around him stepped back. Although they still had some words in their hearts, they couldn't say them in this situation. The Tang soldiers arrested people in a reasonable and orderly manner. Who asked your son to be a rebel?
"This has nothing to do with me. These two unfilial sons went there on their own. I have no idea what they were doing. Sir, you can't kill innocent people. I support the rule of the Tang Dynasty."
When the old man saw that he couldn't defend himself, he immediately began to change his stance. He must not be dragged away in front of everyone at this time. If he was dragged away in front of everyone, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to speak. As long as he could grab a life-saving straw, he had to hold on to it tightly and never let go.
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Then I'll let you die knowing full well. Call me the night watchman from last night."
According to Li Xiang's order, the entire city has now been stabilized. To arrest someone, there must be evidence. If there is no evidence, no army or organization can act recklessly. So these people are also prepared and have prepared plans in advance. No matter what tricks this old man plays, he will definitely be able to take you away today.
