The Haijing Tajuju clan hid in the Fairy City (Tucheng) in the Saibei Wasteland, although they temporarily avoided the Beiyi people's soldiers, but the Fairy City was barren, and the land could not support so many people. Therefore, there is no need for the Beiyi people to attack the city, and after the Ya people eat all the food, they will starve to death in Saibei.

In order to survive, Ayeyabach had to lead the Ayakubach to move westward, but was fortunate to find that there were no powerful forces entrenched around the Ravenjin granary, and only a small number of Tatars settled here. Since the Tatars had taken control of the Central Plains last year, the Tatars on the steppe now had little resistance, and Ayagubach immediately occupied the Ravenjin granary, and then sent only 5,000 troops to plunder livestock and rob the population. It took only a month for the Tatars to restore the prosperity of the Raven granary, and Ayegubach, with 5,000 troops, 50,000 people, and 30,000 slaves, announced the re-establishment of the Yaya Khanate here, but in order to remember their ancestor Black Forest, Ayeyabach changed the name of the country to the Gaia Khanate, which is the pronunciation of the forest in the Tatar language.

"How could the people of the Devil be so unbeaten." Zhang Xiaowu was very helpless.

Wu Song said: "No matter how powerful a person is, after the internal collapse, he will inevitably collapse. ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "It's just that the fall of the Yan Yan is too fast, and it is hard to believe that they have been fighting against the Beiyi people and the Han army in the Black Forest for hundreds of years. ”

Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said: "It was the Yakhan Khanate that was wiped out, not the Tartar people, they are now just subjugating to the feet of the Beiyi people." But after a long time, the character of the Yi Ya people must not be willing to be the slaves of the Beiyi people, and we continue to wait, waiting for the counterattack of the Ya people. And...... Now we have nothing to lose in the confrontation with Longmen Pass, do we? ”

The generals laughed, and now that they are facing the Longmen Pass, the Qinglong Army has not only not lost, but has gained a lot of benefits.

As the so-called bird is exhausted, Zhang Xiaowu coerced an army of 150,000 to confront Inuyi in Youzhou, on the one hand, he protected the Central Plains, but on the other hand, he also hijacked a large number of troops for self-protection. And the imperial court may have because of many scruples, did not reduce Zhang Xiaowu's military power, and even in April, Emperor Dade announced the abolition of the central government, and promoted Zhang Xiaowu to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and led the Qinglong Army to expel the dogs.

There is no doubt that Emperor Dade chose the most secure way to control the situation, and after Gu Yong served as the right minister, he was also trying his best to maintain the stability of the imperial court. For Emperor Dade, only those who threaten him will behave like crazy and neurotic, and those who can't threaten him, he will not be abnormal. Perhaps because Zhang Xiaowu was sent to the distant Youzhou, Emperor Dade's mental state and body were getting better and better, and he even put Zhang Xiaowu's family back home, but he still did not allow the people of Hejian Houfu to contact outsiders. The Hejian Marquis Mansion is like an isolated island in Longdu, except for the food and clothing guaranteed by the imperial court, but it is impossible to get in touch with outsiders at all.

Zhao Suo was worried about this, and then he found the leader of the beggar gang, Wang Xiaojian, and with the help of Wang Xiaojian, Zhao Suo finally broke into the Hejian Hou Mansion. It was Mang Chong who met Zhao Suo alone, Zhao Suo only trusted Mang Chong, and Mang Chong told him: "Everything is fine in the mansion, but I don't know if anyone in the mansion has been bought by Jin Yiwei during this time, so you don't need to come in again in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the two ladies." Tell the old man that Jin Yiwei didn't know about the little sister, so he naturally understood. ”

After Zhao Suo left, he immediately sent a letter to Zhang Xiaowu.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the letter, feeling guilty about his family, especially the two ladies and Mangzhong, but fortunately, they had no worries about life and food and clothing.

In July, Zhang Xiaowu wrote a letter to Gu Yong, informing him that his eldest daughter Gu Qingxi had died of illness due to the cold and the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and the poor medical conditions in the army. At the same time as Gu Yong received the letter, he also received a letter from Gu Ruoxi, and when he learned that his eldest daughter had died of illness in Youzhou, he suddenly fainted in a fire.

Emperor Dade immediately went to Gu Yong's house to appease the right minister, Gu Yong said with tears in his eyes: "I hurt her, I hurt her." ”

"Patience is needed for the sake of the plan! Patience is needed! Emperor Dade held Gu Yong's hand and said.

In August of the fourth year of Dade, good news came from Jiangnan, the puppet Wu emperor Wang Deyue was assassinated by the assassins of the Tianhuo Sect, and the puppet Wu destroyed the country.

Emperor Dade immediately sent Liu Yi to lead the Suzaku army to take the opportunity to attack Jiangnan, and at the end of August, Jiangzhou was recovered in one fell swoop, and at the end of September, the Suzaku army conquered Yuezhou City and subdued the entire territory of Yuezhou. At this point, the Jiangnan Rebellion, which had plagued Jiangnan for ten years, finally subsided.

When the news reached Longdu, the whole country immediately celebrated, and Emperor Dade even took a rare sip of wine to celebrate this hard-won victory. But there is always some disharmony in the celebration, Jiangnan is indeed recovered, but how to restore Jiangnan has become a headache for the imperial court. And although the rebels in Jiangnan were destroyed, the rebels scattered or hidden in the people still existed, and the construction of Jiangnan became the top priority of the imperial court.

The so-called headache is money.

Now the imperial court needs to spend money in three aspects, one is that the Qinglong Army in Youzhou is guarding in front of the Longmen Pass to prevent the Inuyi from going south, the second is the normal expenses of the bureaucrats and troops in various places, and the third is that the Jiangnan has been rebuilt. But the dog entered the Central Plains and spent all the money that Dade had saved with great difficulty for three years, and now the court really can't take out the silver, and Gu Yong is so anxious that half of his hair is white. Emperor Dade even ordered to stop repairing the harem, but he still couldn't come up with the money, and even the Suzaku Army that recovered Jiangnan also received very few rewards, so the Suzaku Army complained more than once.

Emperor Dade convened a great court meeting and asked hundreds of officials to find a way, and some people proposed Zhang Xiaowu's method to kill corrupt officials and seize family wealth. Although this method is easy to use, it is also the easiest to lose the hearts of the people, and now Emperor Dade has regained the support of hundreds of officials, that is, Zhang Xiaowu offended too many scholars by killing big families. Gu Yong naturally understood the pros and cons, and hurriedly persuaded him.

At this time, Mudong Marquis Lin Feng suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, last year, the Central Government ordered the ministers to prepare for the construction of the central bank of the empire, and the world's coinage rights were all nationalized, and all localities were not allowed to mint copper coins and silver without permission. ”

Gu Yong immediately retorted: "Nonsense, if the loss of coins in various places is all owned by the central government, then officials in various places will take up a lot of time just to transport silver and copper coins on the road, don't the government have to do things?" Do you know that there is a huge amount of silver in the world? ”

Lin Feng said cautiously: "Last year, the Central Government planned to print banknotes. ”

"Banknotes?" Emperor Daide asked, "What is the difference between this banknote and a silver ticket?" Why paper money when there are already silver tickets. ”

Lin Feng said: "Paper money is completely different from silver tickets, silver tickets are just bills for exchanging silver, and paper money is silver. The role of the silver bank is to store silver, and the emergence of paper money means that the world does not need silver from now on, because the silver in the whole world is stored in the treasury, and the silver money in the world is used by His Majesty! ”

Emperor Dade's eyes suddenly lit up.
