Chapter 843: There must be a change

In March, in the entire land east of the river, only Taiyuan was left unpulled.

Although Taiyuan is still at war, the entire Hedong has basically settled down.

In the land east of the river, the most difficult thing to solve is Jiang Xiang, the warlord, and the rebels everywhere.

After Gao Yihuan named Jiang Xiang as a marquis, sent to Wang Jing Enyang, Datong Town was reorganized, and a large number of officers were sent to the Great Wei Lecture Hall located at the foot of Lishan Mountain, the army was taken over by Gao Yihuan, and the Western Wei Dynasty solved this great warlord in the north of Jin.

After Gu Junen wanted to go to Li Jiantai, he used Li Jiantai's prestige in Sanjin to appease the gentry, businessmen, and the people, and called on the righteous army to return to their hometowns to farm, and the effect was also very obvious.

At this time, the Sanjin local peace has been restored, a team of cavalry rushed from the south of Jin to Taiyuan, along the way the villages are full of smoke, and the fields are full of people who are rushing to plant and work.

The new policy of the Western Wei State did have a remarkable effect in restoring the localities, and the loan law enabled the people to obtain seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle to quickly resume production.

Of course, the main reason for the implementation of this law is that the Western Wei Kingdom has sufficient grain, especially the cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes, so that many barren lands in the north can also obtain good harvests.

Previously, it was difficult for China's population to exceed 200 million in successive dynasties, because the grain grown could only feed so many people, and if the population increased, the contradictions would intensify and fall into war.

In the Qing Dynasty, China's population reached 400 million, not because of how wise the Qing Dynasty ruled, but because of the introduction of a variety of foreign crops, so that many dry lands that could not be cultivated can also be planted with corn, sweet potatoes and other things, increasing the area of arable land, in order to feed so many people.

Now there are two granaries in the Western Wei Dynasty, and there are corn, sweet potatoes and other things, and Guanzhong has built more granaries to purchase and store grain, so as to avoid the grain from hurting the peasants.

At this time, the cavalry galloped all the way, flanked by green wheat seedlings, and with the wind and waves, the fields were full of people with hats and straw hats bowing down to work.

The cavalry galloped on the official road for a while, and a majestic city appeared in the distance, with vertical and horizontal ravines outside the city, and white tents.

The rumbling of artillery in the distance resounded across the land, and the cavalry rushed into the camp amid the sound of cannons and shouts of killing.

In the Wei army's tent, the Wei army's surrender letter shot into the city did not work, and after the captured artillery arrived, Azig still wanted to delay.

Now it is impossible for Dolgon to send reinforcements, so it is impossible to keep Taiyuan to play the role of encirclement and reinforcement, and it is meaningless to leave Taiyuan.

As soon as the artillery arrived, Gao Yihuan directly let the artillery bombard the city, and began to let the new army launch a tentative attack, preparing to end the war in the near future, so that the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty could rest as soon as possible.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was instructing the siege of the city tomorrow, but Li Laiheng came in and saluted: "King, General Zhou Ronghua and Zhou came from Wangjing, and I have something important to report to the king!" ”

Gao Yihuan frowned, "If he has something, let him come over." ”

As he spoke, Gao Yihuan straightened up and said to the generals standing next to the sand table: "Okay, let's go and prepare first!" ”

When the generals clasped their fists together, they then saluted and retired, leaving only Gao Yihuan and a few civil servants in the tent.

Not long after, Zhou Ronghua, who was in the dust, came in, saw Gao Yihuan, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The minister sees the king!" ”

Gao Yihuan helped him up with a smile, and asked with some doubts: "Zhou Qing, what is the matter with you coming to Taiyuan, could it be that you met the Rakshasa people?" ”

Zhou Ronghua had been in charge of sending envoys to the Western Regions and Mongolia to maintain relations between the small states and tribes in the west for the Western Wei Dynasty, so as to ensure that the merchants of the Western Wei Kingdom could safely trade in these places.

After the defeat of Gushi Khan by the Western Wei, the influence of the Wei State had spread to the Western Regions, and after the Battle of Guanzhong, it affected the Mongols.

In such an environment, Gao Yihuan couldn't think of what Zhou Ronghua could do to him. The only possibility is that Gao Yihuan once told him that he could send people through Yarkand and re-walk the Silk Road to the west, understand the customs, countries, and forces along the way, and draw a map for future use.

Zhou Ronghua hurriedly explained: "Back to the king, at the end of last year, Director Zhou had already set off with the mission and caravan, but there was no news yet. The minister came this time not to report this matter, but to report another matter! ”

"Oh?" Gao Yihuan was puzzled: "What is the matter?" ”

Zhou Ronghua said: "Great King, our merchants from the Western Wei Dynasty have sent back news from the grassland, Batur Huntaiji of the Junggar Department of Moxi is called Khan, and the Junggar Department is frantically encroaching on Mobei. The minister thought that this matter must be known to the king, so he rushed to report it. ”

"The Zungar Khanate?" Gao Yihuan frowned, he was the one who challenged Kang Mazi, coerced Beijing, and let Xiaokang conquer the Zungar Khanate three times.

This made Gao Yihuan's head a little bigger, the Manchu Qing Dynasty here hadn't solved it yet, and Jungger over there had begun to emerge again, making his brain almost a mess of paste.

Originally, the Western Wei Dynasty would face the problem of how to deal with the Southern Ming and Qing armies, and now there are more Jungar Divisions, which is really head-scratching.

From a geopolitical point of view, although the Jungar Ministry did not fight with the Western Wei at this time, in the long run, if the Jungar is allowed to grow, it will definitely form a confrontation with the rising Western Wei State geographically, and it is impossible to live in peace.

"King, this Jungger is the former Warat!" Chen Mingxia immediately said: "The current situation is somewhat similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming army defeated the Tatars of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Tatar control of Mongolia weakened, and Warat took the opportunity to rise, control Mongolia, and became a strong enemy of the Ming State. Now that our Great Wei has defeated the Qing army, which has weakened the Qing army's control over Mongolia, Warat will inevitably take advantage of the situation again and become a problem for my Great Wei's henchmen. ”

Gao Yihuan glanced at Chen Mingxia and nodded approvingly, Lao Chen slipped a little, but the level is still there, I hope he will die earlier than the lonely king.

"Sir's right, but what can be done to contain Jungar right now?" Gao Yihuan frowned, "Now Great Wei's energy must be focused on the Manchu Qing and Nanming, if you provoke Jungar, King Gu will be beaten up." ”

Chen Mingxia groaned: "Then you can only secretly stumble on Warat and restrain their expansion." ”

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, with a sinister look on his face, and asked with great interest, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Chen Mingxia pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but there was a commotion outside the tent, and then Li Laiheng came in, "King, something happened in Taiyuan City." ”

Gao Yihuan and a few people hurriedly poured out of the big tent, and saw the soldiers in the camp, rushing to the wall, and looked towards the city of Taiyuan, only to see that the fire in the city was soaring, reflecting half of the sky red, and the soldiers were discussing, could it be a fire?

"The city has been besieged for several months, and everything that can be demolished and burned in the city should be almost burned, so that it will not go off the fire, could it be a change?" Chen Mingxia wondered.

Gao Yihuan didn't understand either, his eyes stared at Taiyuan, and his eyes narrowed ~~~~~~
