Chapter 147: Three Edicts

On the afternoon of March 5, 3013 in the Tang calendar, He Yunfei and Xu Haoming came to the palace in Chang'an City together, and brought a newspaper to Su Yi, and the name of this newspaper was printed with Liuyun Daily.

When Su Yi saw the four words of Liuyun Daily, he couldn't help but flash a shadow in his mind, that is, Liu Muqing, the beautiful reporter who had been with Su Yi for a few days.

At this time, He Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, you first look at the front page headlines of this newspaper. ”

When Su Yi put his eyes on the front page of this newspaper, his face suddenly became solemn, and then the more Su Yi looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and after Su Yi finished reading the front page of this newspaper, Su Yi slapped the newspaper on the table in front of him, "How can this be reasonable, Hele Kingdom is simply looking for death!" ”

It turned out that the headline on the front page of this Liuyun Daily introduced the Hele country east of the Cangyu Empire, where the army slaughtered Tang civilians and civilians.

To the east of the Cangyu Empire and north of the Liuyun Empire, there are about 20 million square kilometers of land, and most of the 20 million square kilometers of land is grassland, which is divided into four countries, namely Lanshui Kingdom, Dongyao Kingdom, Wupe Kingdom and Hele Kingdom.

The geographical location of these four grassland countries is similar to a very regular "Tian" shape, Wupe is located in the upper left corner, Dongyao is located in the upper right corner, Heller is located in the lower left corner, and Lanshui is located in the lower right corner, and these four countries were all subject countries of the Tang Empire more than a thousand years ago, and the border line of their four countries was also demarcated by the Tang Empire.

The land area of the country is about 6 million square kilometers, it is a landlocked country, most of its land is grassland, has 12 provinces, and has a population of about 160 million, of which the Tang people account for 100 million, and the remaining 60 million are Xiang people.

The Xiang people were a nomadic people at the earliest, and later annexed to the Tang Empire and established the country of Hele, in the country, the small number of Xiang people occupied a dominant position, and the number of Tang people was much lower than that of the Xiang people, and even the army of the country of Hele did not recruit Tang people.

According to the Liuyun Daily, on March 1, a few days ago, Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Hele Kingdom who had studied in the Noomi Empire, issued three edicts that caused great indignation among the Tang people.

Article 1 stipulates that if a Tang man marries a Tang woman, he needs to pay a marriage tax to the state, and the marriage tax is tentatively set at 30 silver dollars, while a Xiang man does not need to pay marriage tax whether he marries a Xiang woman or a Tang woman.

Article 2 stipulates that every time a Tang couple gives birth to a child, they need to pay a population tax to the state, which is tentatively set at 50 silver dollars, and as long as the husband is a member of the Xiang nationality, regardless of whether the wife is a Xiang or a Tang nationality, there is no need to pay a population tax.

Article 3 stipulates that Tang men can only marry one wife at most, and are not allowed to marry concubines, and if they violate, they will face huge fines, but Xiang men do not have this restriction.

The three edicts issued by Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Hele Kingdom, were obviously intended to control the population of the Tang people in Hele and increase the proportion of the Xiang population.

As soon as the three edicts came out, it can be said that it caused an uproar in the entire country of Heller, and the Tang people in almost every city of the country of Heller broke out to protest against the three edicts, but the army of the country of Heller carried out a bloody suppression of the Tang civilians who demonstrated the demonstration, only in the capital of the country of Heller, more than 2,000 Tang civilians who participated in the demonstrations were slaughtered, and because of the chaos caused by the shooting of the army of Heller, it also caused a stampede. As a result, hundreds of Tang civilians were killed and nearly 1,000 were injured.

Although the number of casualties among Tang civilians who participated in demonstrations in other cities cannot be counted, judging from the situation in the capital Heller, it must have also suffered heavy casualties.

He Yunfei said to Su Yi in a deep voice: "Marshal, for such a barbaric act of the Hele Country, our Su family army must not sit idly by, and our subordinates suggest that we immediately increase troops to the border areas near the Hele Country. ”

Xu Haoming continued: "Great Shuai, we should immediately send a note to the country of Hele, asking the country of Hele to hand over all the murderers of the Tang people, revoke the three edicts, compensate the dead and injured Tang people, and at the same time, the emperor of the country of Hele must publicly apologize to the Tang people all over the world for this matter!" ”

Su Yi snorted coldly and said: "The note will be sent out immediately, the content will be according to what Haoming said, the wording must be harsh, and in addition, immediately use all the transportation capacity to gather troops in the border area near the country of Hele, I don't mind letting the future Tang Empire add twelve more provinces!" ”

Xu Haoming hesitated for a moment at this time and said: "Dashuai, Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Hele Kingdom, and Edgru, the emperor of the Noomi Empire, have a very good personal relationship, Yu Yuan went to study in the Noomi Empire when he was young, and he was in the same school as Edgru, and the two were still classmates, even the dormitory was the same, at that time the two became very good friends, and later after the two ascended the throne, the Noomi Empire began to aid the Hele Kingdom in terms of military and economic aspects, and the Hele Kingdom immediately opened the country to the Noomi Empire. Now that the power of the Noomi Empire has penetrated into all areas of the Heller Country, and even an infantry division has been stationed in the territory of the Heller Country all year round, once our Su family army really starts a war with the Heller Country, I am worried that the Noblemi Empire will get involved. ”

A cold light flashed in Su Yi's eyes, "It turns out that there is such a backer behind the Heller Country, I heard that the army of the Noomi Empire has always been called the world's No. 1 army, I really want to know, the army of the Su family army and the army of the Noomi Empire, who is the real No. 1 army in the world?" ”

Xu Haoming thought about it, which had already reorganized more than 10 million of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, as well as the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, which had been reorganized into tens of millions, and suddenly felt that even the Noomi Empire didn't seem to have anything, so he nodded and said: "What the marshal said is right, then I will immediately have someone send a note to the Heller Kingdom." ”

After He Yunfei and Xu Haoming left, Su Yi picked up the Liuyun Daily again, looked at the reporter's signature under the front page, and the three words Liu Muqing were printed on it.

On the evening of March 5, 3013 in the Tang calendar, in a large hall of the imperial palace in Hele City, the capital of the Hele Kingdom, Li Xu, the chief minister of the Hele Kingdom, sighed and said to the emperor Yu Yuan: "Your Majesty, just now that Su Yi in the name of the Su family, sent a note to our Hele country, asking our Hele country to hand over all the murderers of the Tang people as soon as possible, abolish the three edicts issued by Your Majesty, and compensate the dead and injured Tang people, and also ask Your Majesty to publicly apologize, otherwise the Su family army will take necessary means, to maintain the safety of the lives of the Tang people. ”

The chief councillor of Heller is actually equivalent to the prime minister of other countries in the world, but the two are just different names.

The Xiang people of the Hele Kingdom have the obvious characteristics of the grassland people of this world in appearance, which is quite different from the Tang people, and is very similar to the Indians in Su Yi's original world.

However, because the country has been influenced by the Tang culture, the names of the Xiang people in its country are almost no different from the Tang people, almost all the Xiang people can speak Tang language, and the Xiang people's own language, but there are many Xiang people who can't speak it.

Emperor Yu Yuan frowned and asked, "Li Aiqing, do you think the Tang Empire, that is, the Su Family Army, will send troops for this matter?" ”

Li Xu, the chief minister of parliament, said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, in order to help the Purple Moon Empire, the Su family army dared to start a war with the Sharad Empire, the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire at the same time, at that time, the army of the Su family army was only a few hundred thousand people, and now the army of the entire Su family army has exceeded 20 million, and the standing army of our Royal Army of the Heller Kingdom only has three infantry corps and two independent infantry divisions, adding up to only one million troops. ”

After a pause, Li Xu, the chief minister of parliament, couldn't help but say with some complaints: "Your Majesty, the minister has long said that those three edicts must not be issued, and now is different from the past, if we want to control the population of the Tang people in the country, we can only plan it slowly, and we must not be in such a hurry." ”

Emperor Yu Yuan stood up at this time and said loudly: "Li Aiqing, I can't wait any longer, if we wait any longer, maybe our Xiang people will lose the dominance of the Hele Kingdom, presumably Li Aiqing has also seen Su Yi's national theory, right?" ”

Chief Minister Li Xu nodded with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, Su Yi's national theory, the minister has already read it." ”

Emperor Yu Yuan immediately said: "According to the investigation of the intelligence department, since Su Yi's set of ethnic theories was introduced into our Hele country, the young people of the Tang nationality in the Hele country have spontaneously organized a number of secret organizations, wanting to use non-military means and even force means to improve the status of the Tang people in Hele country. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Yu Yuan suddenly shouted with an angry face: "These Tang people are too much!" The country of Heller was originally the habitat of our Xiang people, and the ancestors of our Xiang people were able to agree to the Tang people to live here, which was already a great gift to the Tang people, and now the Tang people actually claimed that they were the best people in the world, the most noble human beings, and should become the rulers of the world. ”

Li Xu, the chief minister of parliament, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't agree to the conditions of the Su family's army, what if the Su family's army really attacks our Hele country?" ”

Emperor Yu Yuan immediately took a deep breath and said: "The Noomi Empire will not stand idly by while watching the Su family army invade our Hele country, not to mention that the Noomi Royal Army has not only stationed an infantry division in our Hele country, but also has an infantry division in the Upe country, and more Noomi royal army troops can also enter the territory of our Hele country through the sea route, and then through the Upe country. ”
