Since the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, various contradictions have long been revealed.

After the destruction of the Xia State, Tuoba Tao did not kill the clans of the Xia State, nor did he completely snub the scholars of the Xia State, but continued to appoint talented officials, killed or demoted those who were corrupt or inactive, promoted a group of new officials, and dispatched a large number of Han ministers and Xianbei generals from the Wei State to govern the place in the way of Hu and Han co-governance and Xia and Wei co-governance.

From the perspective of the overall situation, this is naturally a very perfect model, but at the beginning of the Xia Kingdom, the reshuffle of the Wei State made many old forces fall to the bottom at once, and these old forces resorted to various methods to pull back their legs.

However, the people's hearts were initially determined, and they could not be killed, and every Wei official who went to the Xia State to serve as an official was miserable about this, they not only had to fight with the local "Xia State faction" officials, but also used all kinds of efforts to deal with the sect lords and clans of these old lands, which can be described as hard work, and there was a risk of destruction if they were not careful.

In addition, Hu Xia, as a state that inherited a large territory of the Later Qin, also accommodated countless ethnic minorities.

The Qiang people, Di, Xianbei, Xia, Lu Shuihu, Bailonghu, Xiongnu Yuzhi and so on all live in the Xia land, this Yellow River valley now nurtures countless ethnic groups, they used to be able to compete with the Helian clan in the Xia land, relying on the tribal policy of suddenly merging and fighting, even the former Helian Xia can not do anything with them.

It can be said that the problems of Xia are more severe and complex than those of Wei, the land of Wei is not fertile, and the area from Shanxi to Inner Mongolia is still dominated by grazing, and the biggest problem is the shortage of food, rather than internal conquest;

And Xia Di sits on fertile soil, the biggest problem is that internal and external contradictions are continuous, the monarch has suppressed uprisings and dissatisfaction with high-pressure means all year round, and the more he suppresses it, the more it rebounds.

Hearing that the Qiang people had rebelled, none of the original officials in the Xia State showed any unusual expressions, but the officials and generals of the Wei State were all shocked and looked at Tuoba Su in unison.

Since the descendants of Di Ziyu and the Jin family of Hutu Wang surrendered to the Great Wei, Tuoba Tao has given them both a title and an official position, but they have only been rebelling for a year, and how the Wei State treats them who rebel has become the attitude of the new owner of this land towards resistance in the future.

Is it appeasement, surrender, or repression?

Everyone is waiting for the choice of Tuoba Su, the general of Tongwan.

Gai Wu behind He Mulan clenched his fists, and his body even trembled from nervousness. He Mulan was also waiting for Tuoba Su's answer, but seeing that the apprentice was so out of shape, he couldn't help but put a hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

"Master, I'm afraid ......"

Gai Wu shuddered and gritted his teeth.

"I'm scared."

He Mullan was stunned.

"Master doesn't know that in the eyes of those in power, all miscellaneous beards are the same. In the past countless years, whether Han or Hu were in power, as long as one tribe rebelled, the next tribe was a terrible punishment......"

Gai Wu was born and raised in this land, and his memories of the pain caused by this land are even more vivid.

"In order to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, other tribes that have not made mistakes must also serve the lord of the country, contributing cattle, sheep and men as supplies; In order to show that he has no objections, if the main state recruits the rebellious tribes, he will often draw strong men from other miscellaneous tribes as vanguards, weakening the strength of the miscellaneous beards......"

'Pioneer?'

He Mullan was stunned. Generally, the vanguard army is the elite of the first army, and it will never use a new army that has not been trained, so why use the miscellaneous army that has been temporarily requisitioned......

However, it only took a moment for He Mullan to understand.

The so-called "vanguard" is just a kind of modifier of "cannon fodder".

Just as the Rouran people used slaves as "death camps", and the Xianbei tribesmen would use the miscellaneous beards and criminals of the territory as "human barriers", this practice of using living people as cannon fodder to disperse the cavalry formation is common in all countries, but the cruelty of each country is different.

Hu people, Hu people, the essence is still ferocious, for their own survival, they can show the bloody and cruel side of human nature to the fullest.

This kind of "human barrier" was not eradicated until the Second World War, as long as it was time for war, such things always happened, so as soon as He Mullan understood what Gai Wu said, he inevitably frowned in disgust.

Gai Wu was afraid that Tuoba Tao would also "purge" all the miscellaneous Hu in the Xia territory because of the rebellion of the Qiang people, so when he thought that this general might lead a large army to the battle, he trembled nervously because of his excessive concentration.

Chen Jie used to get along very well with Lu Shuihu, and when he saw that Gai Wu's muscles were tense to the point that his muscles and veins burst out, he couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort:

"Don't worry about being like this, now there are only old and weak women and children left in Xingcheng, even if you are recruited, you will not be recruited. Moreover, the march of our Wei State has always used military households, and other temporarily recruited strong men have slowed down the speed of the march in the army. With the general here, even if His Majesty really has a bad feeling for the Hu clan in the territory because of this, our general will advise him, right?"

He Mulan really couldn't accept the behavior of all the nationalities because of a rebellion, which was a perverted "race/race/lord/righteousness", so he nodded affirmatively: "If Your Majesty really has such an order, I will definitely advise."

"Thank you." Gai Wu gradually loosened his fist, and his voice was low, "Thank you. But you don't know how hard we have lived...... We ......"

His voice faded to the point where he could barely be heard.

"We can't do it again."

His father even died in order to keep his people from going to war.......

[,！ He hated it.

Hate these Qiang and Hugh slaughterers who stirred up trouble.

Hate these forces that are behind the instigation of the Qiang and Hugh slaughterers.

How innocent the people are, they just want to live their lives in peace!

Tuobasu's mind was also thinking about how to deal with this rebellion. Since he guarded Tongwan and relied on Chang'an, almost none of the miscellaneous Hu in the jurisdiction had any changes.

Now that Chang'an is in turmoil, and then immediately there are Qiang and Hutu people who use this as an excuse to rebel, and the timing and speed are too meaningful.

If there is no internal news, he doesn't believe it at all.

So, who exactly is Neiying? Is the imminent movement of the Qiang and Hutu people a temptation to the Great Wei? If he makes a decision here, will it be sent to the hands of the Qiang and Hutu people tomorrow to make corresponding countermeasures?

Tuoba Su looked at the officials who were staring at him, and he couldn't help but express his opinion, and suddenly fell into an impasse.

At that moment, he felt that someone was looking at him.

Tuoba Su swept away with his afterglow, only to see Tuobati wink at him and shake his head slightly.

The high prowess of the right seat is almost eagerly waiting for the arrival of war.

He has been deserted in Chang'an for so long that he often dreams of himself galloping on the battlefield.

His spear is eager to drink blood, his horse is eager to gallop, and he wants to cut off the heads of his enemies to prove that there is still a beast in his blood, and not to be trapped forever by a cage called "Good", so ridiculous and pedantic to spend his life!

Tuoba was able to mix with the general of Tongwan naturally not all relied on his family background, he saw that Tuoba Ti seemed to have something to say, and naturally understood that Jingzhong should have guessed this situation, and immediately ordered the expulsion of all idle people, etc., and all the dancing and singing and serving the banquet all left the banquet hall, leaving only the officials and generals.

As soon as the idle people retreated, they began to ask for battles one after another.

"General, Hugh Tu is unruly, he actually plundered the people into the mountains, his behavior is outrageous, it is impossible to influence them, the last general is willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion!"

"General, the last general is also willing to go!"

"The Qiang people are even more hateful, there are not many caravans in the summer land, and they are still looting!"

Caravans have always been the main source of taxes in various places, especially in Chang'an, when they heard that the Qiang people blocked the trade routes, a group of officials were even more furious, eager to hang the Qiang people and beat them.

Tuoba Su looked at Tuobati, trying to get some enlightenment from him, but Kumoti glanced at Helian Ding on his side, and asked: "Helian Gong has been guarding the summer land for a long time, and he knows the situation of various ethnic groups very well, with Helian Gong's opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

This is actually asking Helian Ding for advice!

In fact, Helian Ding's age, experience, and status are actually much higher than Kumoti, but he is now a person who has lost the country, and Tuobati is the prince of the victorious country, so it seems that Helian Ding is weaker.

But if you ask for advice, none of the people present can really compare to Helian Ding.

Everyone thought that with the arrogance of this "goshawk", he would never bow his head to Helianding, but who expected Tuobati to ask Helianding's opinion without hesitation, and he didn't have any signs of parting ways with Helianding when he entered the city, isn't it shocking?

However, Tuobati asked so sincerely, and the answer given by Helian was not very close.

"Give me 3,000 men and horses, and I can let the Hutu tribe and the Qiang tribe come to Chang'an to be captured."

As soon as he said this, Mo said that the officials below couldn't help but roll their eyes, and even He Mulan wanted to sigh a little.

You are now a guest of the Wei Kingdom, dear! Where is the reason for the guests to lead the host's soldiers to war!

Even if it can be defeated, what is it! The rebellion of the Qiang and Hutu people was suppressed by the Huns, and this completely treats the symptoms but not the root cause!

Helian Ding has his own hills and valleys in his chest, but he is too lazy to explain to these "mortals". In the past so many years, he has done everything he wants to do, and he will see him with the results when he finishes it.

For example, he attacked Wei, he counterattacked Chang'an, and he occupied Western Qin.

His subordinates have long been accustomed to not asking the reason, only following his words, this is due to his position, but he is no longer the plain prince above the ten thousand people under one person, such a confident and crisp conclusion, it seems that he has a wild heritage.

Kumoti felt that Helian Ding's temper was very similar to Tuobatao, and said with a smile when he heard this: "I naturally believe in Helian Gong's ability, but Helian Gong is still going to Pingcheng now, so these small things should be left to us. I want to hear about the situation of the Hutu and Qiang people, my Great Wei thinks that they are already very kind to them, why do they rebel again?"

Helian put away his lazy expression and looked at Kumoti carefully, as if he was only now regarded as a character worthy of serious attention.

Everyone present was shouting for suppression of the rebellion and suppression, so he did what he liked, and casually said that he could subdue them, of course, if they really gave him 3,000 soldiers and horses, he would indeed let the tribe master of the Hutu tribe obediently come and bow down.

Kumo asked carefully, and Helian Ding also said with a straight face: "King Xiutu Jin Ya is the heir of Jin Riyan, and he has always thought that he is the orthodoxy of the Xiongnu royal court. The Wei iron cavalry was brave, and they could not confront it head-on, so they went left and right between the two countries of Wei and Xia to ask for benefits. With the great victory of the Wei State, they will not be so important, and the Great Wei will pat the officials to govern them, which is more strict than when the Xia State was there, and it is not surprising that they will be reversed.".

[,！ Helian Ding explained in detail: "Don't you think that there are few people in the Hutu clan, since they think they are the orthodoxy of the Xiongnu, they will naturally do orthodox things. King Xiu Tu is called the king, but the tribe is divided like the Xiongnu royal court in the past, not only the left and right generals, but also the left and right virtuous kings, although the affairs and the number of officials at all levels are very small, but the size is also an official."

He laughed: "Don't think that they are like child's play in the clan to carry out the royal court, they are playing quite seriously, at this time you send a 'Zhenxi General' to take over the place where Hugh Tu is located, is it Hugh Tu Wang Da or the general?" Do those 'big and small officials' listen to King Hugh Tu or to the general? The cohesion of Xiu Tu comes from the glory of the royal court in the past, once the power is divided, it is easy to become a vassal of Xianbei, Jin Ya is afraid in his heart, so he naturally wants to strike first."

"In the final analysis, it's just for the status of the Jin family." Kumoti nodded in understanding. Jin Ya probably thought that if the people of Xiu Tu listened to the general of Wei, there would be no need for King Xiu Tu to save zài."

"It's not all."

Helian Zhishui, who was beside Helian Ding, was taught by his family since he was a child, and his knowledge was not ordinary: "Hutu himself also has his own tax method, in the past in the Xia Kingdom, we collected taxes from King Hutu according to the entire Hutu ethnic group, and then King Hutu collected and paid to the people in the way of 'Xiongnu royal court'."

In this way, in fact, Xia Guo doesn't care about anything, just go to King Hutu to get things. Whether you have more people, whether there are few, whether it is a bumper harvest or a major drought this year, I don't care at all, I will only take one.

And King Hutu paid "one", and went back to share it with the people, which was the "tax" of their royal court.

"But the Wei State implements the 'household stall', collecting taxes and serving according to the household, and the officials and generals of a place have just arrived at the place of Hutu, they must count the number of households and calculate the population, so that the little rights of the King of Hutu are all deprived, and the Wei State directly taxes according to the household guide the people to pay taxes twice, once to the Hutu royal court, and once to the Wei State. They are used to paying taxes to King Hutu, and now they have to give Wei again, so they are naturally hostile......"

No one thinks that Helian Ding's "like child's play" is really child's play. What is the difference between a local role-playing and even such a thing as taxation appearing? !

He Mulan suddenly thought of the Liu Song region occupied by the Wei State, Liangzhou and Yongzhou and other places where the suzerains were all over the place, and they were also self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and the Wei State could not calculate the specific number of people and households, so it could only collect taxes from the "suzerain" of each Wubi once a year.

The Hu people of the Xia State were small, and the officials of the Wei State dared to go to check the population, but those Wu Bi lords in the south had weapons and troops in their hands, and there were a large number of Wu forts as defenses.

Thinking about it like this, He Mullan only felt that the burden on Tuoba Tao's body was incredibly heavy, and it was no wonder that no one was credible and crazy and tyrannical later.

She shook her head and only sighed.

"General Hua sighed, but what did you think differently?"

Kumoti suddenly opened his mouth and called Mulan's name.

Everyone looked at Hermulan, expecting her to say something different.

"I'm thinking, since the Hugh Tu people consider themselves to be the orthodox Huns, I'm afraid they will also live like the Huns, moving the royal court. Since the population is moving, it is not suitable to collect taxes according to the fixed 'household stall' method of residence. The herdsmen in Montenegro do not pay taxes according to households, but when they go to Longxi, they have to pay taxes according to households, which is a bit too rigid."

He Mulan said matter-of-factly, "Since the customs and customs of Xia Di are different from those of Wei Di, we should be flexible, otherwise we will cause trouble. But this is all an afterthought, now that the Hutu people have reversed, what we should think about is how to eliminate the misunderstanding and let the Hugh Tu King and the Hutu people return to their previous lives."

To collect taxes by household, the premise must be "household".

It is common sense that the hukou is tied to the land, and these Hu people have no land, and it is simply nonsense to divide them according to the household. Grazing is not farming, the harvest is estimated, and if it is left to her, she is not willing to pay it fixedly.

The one who proposed "distribution according to households" was naturally the officials of the Wei faction, and the officials of the Xia State had vigorously opposed it, but taxation was related to the foundation of a country, so this policy was finally led by the Wei people.

He Mulan was a Wei person, but he felt that the policies formulated by the Wei people were not good, which surprised many officials of the Xia Kingdom, including Helian and his son.

Kumoti seemed to know that Hermulan would say such a thing, and looked at her with an unpredictable expression: "Oh, then what do you mean, do you agree to fight?"

Tuoba Su also laughed: "It's strange, the most war-savvy general in the younger generation of my Wei State is unwilling to fight. If you don't fight, what do your subordinates eat?"

He Mulan didn't tell either, she knew that the result of being maverick was to be regarded as a strange person by the world, so she just chuckled: "It's just a heart of compassion, soldiers, the country's major affairs, you must not ignore it, it is always good not to fight. In any case, these Hugh slaughterers are now considered to be from my Wei country."

Kumoti came here, obviously to investigate Wang Jin's affairs, but in fact, it was to investigate the reasons for the rebellion of the Xia clans. Even if someone provokes, it must be dissatisfied and resentful before being provoked successfully.

But in terms of the attitude of repression, Kumoti and Tuoba Tao are consistent.

Dare to plunder the common people as a hostage, as soon as this precedent is opened, the Wei State will be in chaos. Regardless of whether the final Hugh slaughters or not, the person who proposes this building yì must die.

Whether this person is the king of Hutu, or whether the king of Hutu is willing to hand over the whole person, determines whether to beat or appease in the end. The Hu people have always not pressed. [,！ It is possible to act in accordance with the rules and regulations, and it may be possible to swear to the death and not to hand it in.

Thinking of this, Kumoti felt that it was much easier to play directly.

For Hemulan's words, Helian Ding and Tuoba Su felt unimpressed. Kumoti glanced at the officials in the table, they had all kinds of expressions, and they could see something from their expressions, and they had a slight number in their hearts.

Thinking about today's banquet and everyone leaving the Taishou Mansion, what faction it is and who they will meet with, I'm afraid it will be clear at a glance.

It's just going to be hard for those egret officials.

Tuoba Su and Kumoti discussed in a whisper for a while, and finally Tuoba Su gave an order, first quickly spread the news to Pingcheng, Chang'an and Tongwan's army was ready for battle, and tomorrow early in the early morning in Taishou Mansion to make a final decision on this matter, whether it is to fight or appease, always determine the right person, but also to prepare baggage and other things.

This good banquet ended up unhappily.

Gao Shen didn't enjoy the left and right hugs he wanted, and the war he was looking forward to seemed to have another development by Hemulan's words, and his heart was suddenly extremely disappointed, and his eyes when he looked at He Mulan also became resentful.

He Mulan was holding his chin and thinking about the matter of Hutu and the Qiang people, since Di Ziyu was not dead, maybe the Qiang people would not be so crazy when he pulled him out, but the problem now is that Di Ziyu is a repeat offender, I'm afraid no one is willing to take this risk and let him out to slip around......

She was thinking about it when she noticed a middle-aged scribe standing in front of her, looking at her with a slight bend.

This scribe is none other than the famous Confucian Youya of the You family.

Where did He Mullan dare to hold up in front of him, he immediately stood up and saluted. You Ya didn't care about her false courtesy, but grabbed her arm and asked with bright eyes: "Listening to what you just said, you seem to have studied taxes and laws as well?" Do you think it's normal to collect taxes in such a situation as Hugh slaughtering people? Hutu people have no fixed residence, how to collect taxes? Although Xia Guo's previous method was good, but the treasury had a loss, have you ever thought about how to ......?"

He took Hermulan and nagged a long list of questions, and Hermulan was at a loss on his face, not knowing how he had become a student of taxes and laws.

However, You Ke behind You Ya was a little embarrassed, and explained beside her: "My uncle's family study is the law, and my uncle has been a county commander and a taishou before, so he ......"

Hermulan blinked inexplicably.

So what?

You can make it clear.

"Lord You, I'm sorry, I'm going to borrow Mulan for it."

A large palm suddenly appeared on the arms of the two of them, easily luring Mulan out.

"Ah, King Yingchuan is well."

You can immediately salute and retreat.

You Ya looked at Kumoti with an angry face: "I discussed the national policy with General Hua, why did the prince bother?"

"You Envoy Jun, we are here to investigate Wang Jin's case, not here to discuss how to collect taxes. Now that the affairs of the Qiang people are very related to Wang Jin's case, I want to find Mulan to ask the reason, and I hope to make it convenient for you. It's your job now, isn't it?"

He seemed to be smiling, and You Ya was speechless when she heard this, so she had to brush her sleeves and leave.

Kumotimu sent You Ya and You Ke behind him away, and then turned around and led He Mulan to a secluded place in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion.

Hermulan knew that Kumoti must have something to say, so he just lowered his hand and listened.

Sure enough, Kumoti looked at the full moon in the sky for a long time, and suddenly asked her solemnly: "General Hua, do you know why the Tiger Ben Army came with me?"

He Mulan was stunned: "Isn't it to escort Helian Gong back to Beijing?"

Kumoti nodded.

"Yes and no. General Hua, what you just said is right, only a little ......"

Kumoti sighed slightly.

"Zahu rebellion, this battle, no matter what the cause, must be fought."
