Chapter 224: Becoming an Official
Approaching August, due to the cold weather, the locusts have begun to disappear, and at this time, due to the smooth issuance of national bonds, the program of work for relief has been implemented, the land of Guanzhong is full of construction sites, the court officials are busy with their feet do not touch the ground, even Li Shimin, also like an inspector of the imperial history, back and forth to inspect the various construction sites, busy for several days, finally, a letter from Shuozhou, the civil and military ministers have been pulled back to the court.
Shuozhou victory, the long history of Sun Zhengming led the Shuozhou unity battalion and over 10,000 people, blocking the breakthrough in Shuanghualing, first with fire, killing thousands, and with crossbowmen ambush, killing thousands, after that, Tuli was defeated, turned to attack the east gate of Mayi City, Sun Zhengming led a hundred horsemen from the south gate back to the city, led the whole city of soldiers and civilians, resisted overnight, and killed thousands of enemies again, until Li Jing's reinforcements arrived, in one fell swoop to defeat the last remnants of the Tuli army, the Tuli front begged to surrender, was taken by Li Jing, and will go to Chang'an to offer prisoners in the near future.
The course of the war is not important, the important thing is that after the battle of destroying more than 20,000 rebels of Li Xiaochang in two days at the beginning of the month, Datang fought a big victory of destroying more than 20,000 Turkic cavalry in two days, what does this mean? Will all armed provocations be extinguished in an instant?
Moreover, the losses in these two battles were minimal, of course, the battle of Shuozhou, the loss of the Wang family, was not calculated by Li Shimin, in his opinion, this is the effect of Sun Xiangfu's previous success in using a strategy and dragging the Wang family into the water.
But what does that mean for those of the family? Is the level of war of the Don Army already high to such an extent? Even a person who has never been on the battlefield and is said to have always been greedy for life and afraid of death can fight such a victory, is this reasonable?
Regarding this issue, Wang Xu explained to his father, Wang Rui, the contemporary head of the Taiyuan Wang family, in very pertinent words, and from Wang Rui's mouth, the major families also recognized the fact that their fists are indeed not as big as Li Shimin, and they are far from each other.
Therefore, the heads of each family are a little scared in their hearts, those who originally did not kill Sun Xiangfu and swore not to give up, now they don't dare to speak out, the victory of this battle is of great significance to Sun Xiangfu, at least those who shouted and killed him, and now the ministers dare not go up.
The local chief official reported the results of the battle, it was a routine matter, and along with the war report, there was also a Sun Xiangfu's discussion of politics, the content of the fold is very simple, since Tuli has been destroyed, then the thousands of miles of land outside the Guanxi he occupied, it should be our Tang Dynasty, whether the imperial court has the ability to operate this land now, not to mention for the time being, this name must be occupied first, because with the name, we have a lot of articles to do.
The grassland has a huge temptation for the Hui Hui, Xue Yantuo, Murowei, Jin Ya and other tribes, how to use this bait to make the Tang Dynasty profitable, is what Li Shimin needs to discuss, Sun Xiangfu has any interests in this, he will use the secret music to tell Li Shimin.
There are no fools in the imperial court, the Wang family has kept 800,000 acres of spice fields, and the next step is that the Wang family should make a big deal, and Sun Zhengming suggested that the emperor should return the Turkic land to the Tang Dynasty, which means to continue to expand and develop! Then, this time, everyone will not watch the Wang family eat alone.
Moreover, this food is too big, Sun Zhengming and the Wang family can't eat it at all, it can be seen from the previous Sun Zhengming with the help of the Wang family's power to develop the 800,000 mu of grassland, they can also develop so much with the strength at hand, otherwise, a variety of tens of thousands of acres, that is a million yuan of income! Can we cooperate with Sun Zhengming and build a grassland to develop?
The first to come up with this idea was actually Cui Zhenglu and other high-level executives, they have a certain amount of wisdom, the benefits of the output of 800,000 acres of spice fields are too huge, they don't want to see the Wang family in the past, and they now feel that the previous attitude towards Sun Xiangfu is problematic, blindly obeying Wang Lin, and wanting to suppress him, which made him hate himself so much, and forced him to come up with a public opinion attack method like a newspaper, so that the reputation of several families was seriously damaged, which should not have happened.
It's good to see that Wang Xu cooperates with him! It can be seen that Sun Zhengming is not like Wang Lin said, it must be that Wang Lin deliberately smeared Sun Zhengming in order to compete with Wang Xu for the throne, so after this common understanding, Wang Lin held a banquet, and they were not allowed to participate in the juniors.
Seven clans and five surnames, although the relationship is complicated, it is not a family after all, each has its own interests, so the result of Sun Zhengming's meritorious reward came out three days later, and he proved that he was able to shepherd one side, without the hindrance of family officials, the emperor's will was quickly passed.
Fengshuo Governor Shi Shanyang County Hou Sun Zhengming for Shanyang County Duke, Shuozhou Thorn History, and Anbei Protector Governor, Shishiyi added 200 households to him, and the front seal, a total of 700 households, Yongye Tian increased to 2,000 acres, and the vocational field was increased to 50,000 acres, saying that it is the title of a county duke, the actual reward, in fact, is not worse than many national dukes, but considering that the location is in the border area, even Wei Zheng has nothing to say.
Speaking of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, I have to say that Li Shimin has discussed another result in the past few days, he will be the north of the north occupied by the east and west thousands of miles of land under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, the administrative office is placed in the grassland of Shanyang New Town, this place almost occupies a small half of Shanxi and half of Inner Mongolia in the later generations, to the east, parallel to Hebei Province, the junction of the Murwei, Yan, Xia, and other tribes.
To the north is the junction of Xue Yantuo, and to the west, it is the place occupied by the junction of the Hui and Jieli, but the place he currently actually controls, in addition to the 800,000 mu of Wangjia spice fields outside the boundary of Shanyang, only Xi Junmai has just taken the Ulanqab area.
Of course, the reason why Li Shimin allocated such a large place to Sun Xiangfu was also in response to Sun Xiangfu's request, and he told Li Shimin in the recital that cooperation can make people's roads wider and wider. Before, Cui Zheng Wang Lu cooperated and gathered everyone's strength to do one thing together, so they became stronger.
Competition, will make people's road narrower and narrower, if they for the sake of interests, stumbling each other, sabotage, can they still be strong? As long as we can pull a few families from the road of cooperation to the road of competition, then it will be easier to deal with them, just like the three brothers of the Wang family, fighting infighting for the position of the head of the family, which will continue to consume the heritage of their family.
And to pull them to the road of competition, Sun Xiangfu needs a big stage, this stage is the grassland originally occupied by Tuli, Sun Xiangfu feels that it is clear that the family can be destroyed by farming, why do you have to use political struggle, you can rely on farming to destroy the surrounding countries, why do you have to use war means.
Later, he will hold a grand investment promotion event to attract major families into the game, so Li Shimin's support is very much needed.
