Chapter 379: A War That Burns Money
Yang Hao hated the behavior of bullying men and women and running rampant in the wild.
Although he is now an emperor, he can't change the essence of resentment in his bones.
What kind of royal relatives, if it weren't for the face of Nujiao, these two would have been imprisoned in Jinyiwei, and whether they can survive depends on his mood.
A day later, the news brought back by Jin Yiwei that Yuan Qing had released the woman who had been robbed, and personally came to apologize and bought those houses at a higher price than the market price.
Prime Minister Yuan, who got this matter, immediately broke one of Yuan Qing's legs, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, this was a royal scandal, and it wouldn't be good for his reputation if it was spread out.
Yang Hao only promised that he would not pursue the matter, and if he committed it again, he could only act according to the laws of Daqi.
But this matter obviously will not be so simple to pass, since the establishment of the Imperial History Tower, those officials have nothing to do all day, and most of the officials of the Qi State are still diligent.
finally broke the news, how can these unforgiving guys let go of such a good opportunity.
At the court meeting, the officials were full of firepower, accusing Yuan of inaction, conniving at his family's contempt for national law, and suggesting that Yang Hao remove this person from the position of prime minister.
Like the officials of later generations, there is no right to this official position, that is, there is nothing to do with scolding, even if it is a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people, it should be sprayed.
If someone retaliates against them for this, it is as they wish, and this is a chance for them to become famous.
The officials provoked this talk, and the rest of the people who were unhappy with Yuan also made a few sarcastic remarks, which gradually evolved into a criticism of Yuan Kou.
Yang Hao only felt a headache, and regretted very much why he had to make a speech official, which was simply lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
In desperation, Yang Hao had no choice but to order that Yuan Qing be exempted from three years of Yulu and let him open up a piece of land outside Chang'an City, and they were not allowed to help him in the slightest.
Originally, I wanted to fight for it on the grounds that his son broke his leg, but how could Yang Hao take back what he said.
If the leg is broken, right, then connect it, and it will be a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, then it will be officially implemented in three months, and let Jinyiwei personally execute it at that time.
At this moment, I can't wait to kick to death which unfilial son, and my reputation for a lifetime has been ruined by this rabbit cub.
At this moment, Yuan looked a little old, and Yang Hao sighed secretly in his heart when he saw this.
He was not regretting his orders, but just lamenting that time flies and human life is so short.
If he hadn't known that there was no elixir of life in the world, he might have repeated the mistakes of Yingzheng and searched all over the world for the method of immortality.
When Chang'an City was stirred up because of the scandal of the emperor's relatives and relatives, the war situation in the south finally took a turn for the better.
After the Qi people changed their strategy towards Miao, the Miao traitors sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The Miao people, who had no mass base, resisted the armed forces, and their situation suddenly became much more difficult.
Due to the betrayal of the Shanyun tribe, the Teng Snake tribe is being besieged by the Qi army.
Although they occupied a favorable terrain, the Qi army gradually compressed the living space of the Teng Snake tribe with excellent equipment and sufficient grain and grass.
After several days of fierce fighting, the Teng Snake tribe could only retreat on the small mountain, and the thousands of elite troops under the mountain blocked all possible escape routes.
The defeat of the Teng Snake tribe is decided.
For the culprit who killed hundreds of soldiers, Liyang has ordered that no prisoners will be left in this battle, and apart from women and children, the only way for adult men of the Tengsnake tribe to end up is death.
War is cruel in any era, and the weaker side can only sadly accept the cruel reality.
After the Tengsnake tribe's request for surrender was denied, after knowing that there was no hope of survival, these remnants of the resistance broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.
With the condescending terrain and the weapons and equipment captured from the Qi army, they stubbornly resisted the attack of the Qi army.
But this was only resisting, delaying the defeat of the Teng Snake Tribe.
When the grenadiers arrived, the outcome was decided.
The gunpowder weapon destroyed the last of the Tengsnake tribe's will to resist, and the excited Qi army rushed up the mountain, and under the policy of leaving no prisoners, this small hill became a hell on earth.
In the face of the heavily armed Qi army, under the hand-to-hand combat, the Miao people had no room to fight back.
The slaughter lasted for an hour, and the women and children of the Tengsnake tribe could only watch their people die tragically under the enemy's sword one by one, but they could not do anything.
The crying and wailing gradually subsided, and Li Yang looked at the messy battlefield with an expressionless face.
People are not grass and trees, who can really be ruthless, Li Yang sighed the cruelty of war.
Accustomed to seeing too much killing, he doesn't like killing people in his heart, but sitting in this position, his personal preferences are sometimes so insignificant, he can only disguise himself, like a robot, giving ruthless instructions one by one.
The Miao ambush tactics, betrayed by a large group of Miao traitors, are no longer as good as before.
The fall of the Teng Snake tribe gave the Miao people a great shock.
For a while, the incidents of attacking the Qi State grain transportation team suddenly became much less.
After destroying the Teng Snake Tribe, Liyang waved his army south, all the way to the banks of the Yangtze River, where he successfully joined forces with the Qi Navy and Zhang Songbu who were swimming on the Yangtze River.
The passage of the Yangtze River has been opened up, and there are no worries, which means that the retreat of the Miao people has been completely cut off.
But it was not an overnight task to completely eradicate the resistance of the Miao people, and the mountains in the south provided excellent cover for the Miao people.
As long as the Miao people do not take the initiative to attack the Qi army, it will not be easy to find them.
The betrayal of the same clan made the resistance more and more cautious.
Once again, the battle for seedlings is in a difficult situation.
In the winter of the twelfth year of Hongwu, it was already snowing in the north, and it was cold and damp in the south.
The climate is very different from that in the north, which has increased the intensity of the Qi army's conquest, and months of combat have rapidly consumed the national strength of the Qi country.
Listening to the report of the Ministry of Household War, Yang Hao only felt that his head was extremely big.
He knew that war was a money-burning thing, but he couldn't have imagined that it would burn money like this.
The way Qi fights today is very different from what it used to be.
In the past, the Qi State was only a country with a big nose, and it was still a defensive war, even if it was the battle to destroy the Xia, the victory and defeat were quickly divided, and these wars did not hurt the foundation of the Qi State.
However, the battle of the seedlings is different, for the transportation of this era, it is enough to be called a labor expedition, and the food standards set by themselves for soldiers have exacerbated this trend of burning money.
The war has only been fought for a few months, and the pensions of the fallen soldiers have not yet been counted, and they have already consumed almost a year's savings of the Qi State, and Yang Hao's heart is dripping blood.
If this continues, he even has plans to retire.
On the New Year of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Liyang, who was far away in the south, received a reward from Yang Hao and an official letter.
In the official document, Yang Hao ordered Liyang, regardless of everything, to thoroughly assess the disaster of the Miao people within half a year, he didn't want to listen to any superfluous explanations, within half a year, the imperial court must discharge officials to take over here, as for how to do it, it is the matter of Liyang, the generalissimo of the expedition to the south.
Li Yang put the official document away and let out a long sigh.
