Chapter 368: Cleaning Up the People's Hearts (Part II)

"Boss, it is estimated that there will be changes over there in Guazhou recently." In Shazhou City, when Zhao Si was deploying the plan left by Hu Xiaosi little by little, the secret guard sent the latest news, "It is reported that the elders of the Heavenly Fang Sect have infiltrated into the territory of Guazhou, and there are also a group of backbone forces of the Heavenly Fang Sect with them. ”

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said thoughtfully: "It's that Abdullah. Abbas. The people of Barcelona? This kid really has nowhere to vent his energy, and he still wants to go to Guazhou in the winter. After a pause, he smiled and said: "But the deputy prime minister has been making a lot of moves on Guazhou recently, and if such a big movement can't attract these people, wouldn't it be unfair to me." By the way, who are the people who are connected to them? ”

"So far, only three shares of people have been found." The secret guard sent a piece of information and handed it to Zhao Sidao: "But don't worry, boss, we have a bit of a bit inside, and we can deliver the latest news at any time." ”

"Handing over the formalities to the Deputy Prime Minister and the Flying Eagle Brigade, and at the same time sending this letter to the Deputy Prime Minister, so that they can act in concert with us, is a good supplement to the plan handed down by the commander, and when the time comes, it can overturn the hearts and minds of the entire Guiyi Army in one fell swoop." Zhao Si took out a secret letter sealed with fire paint from his desk and handed it to the secret guard.

After the secret guard left, Zhao Si began to immediately adjust his deployment, and cooperated with the actions of Guazhou Tuoba Siji's side to arrange his actions on the sandbank, and at the same time, the members of the dragon group who were placed in the Tianfang Sect also received Zhao Si's orders one after another, and began to quietly stare at all the leaders of the Tianfang Sect in the sandbank.

However, immediately after that, Zhao Si also quickly received a report from the secret guard, and the highest level of the Heavenly Fang Sect in the sandbank territory was in Abdullah. Abbas. After BarΓ§a left, several new leaders appeared out of nowhere, and according to the news from the dragon group, these people were obviously different from the Han Chinese, and after a few fleeting meetings, the dragon group found that these people were not locals, or even the Uighurs from Anxi.

However, Zhao Si didn't have so many scruples about these people at this time, and when Hu Xiaosi left, he directly issued Li Xuanqing's order to Zhao Si, and he must take absolutely tough measures to suppress the high-level of the Tianfang Sect. Therefore, although Zhao Si arranged for someone to send this information and the basic information of these people to Chang'an, he did not delay the issuance of the order of the dragon group at all.

And when Zhao Si ordered the dragon group to prepare, Su Xiaohu of the Flying Eagle Brigade in Guazhou was also acting at the same time, but it was basically different from the Shazhou side in the underground darkness, because Tuoba Si Jian made drastic reforms in Guazhou, and the heads of the people were rolling under the butcher's knife, and more than 100 people were killed by the leaders and nobles of the three major families and those large and small nomadic tribes, and most of the backbone forces were swept away, and the remaining branches were not implicated, but they were also ordered to confiscate most of the production and living materials. Except for one portion of the land and livestock, all the others were distributed to the farmers and herdsmen, which was equivalent to bringing all the lower strata of the two departments of agriculture and animal husbandry in Guazhou into the pocket of the Prefecture Thorn Mansion. Sima Daoxin didn't think this at first, but after these people were entered into the household registration and became the people registered in the Assassin's Mansion, Guazhou completely changed color in just a few days, and after Tuoba Si organized everyone to repair various projects in the winter and distribute the winter materials that were transported one after another, he won the hearts of all the people at the bottom.

With so much popular foundation, so Tuoba Sijian has the confidence to carry out commercial reform, if the northwest wants to develop, it must rely on commerce, because even the three major families of the Han people add up to more than 20,000 hectares of land, which is nothing compared to the previous big landlords in the Central Plains, Tuoba Sijian remembers that when he was in Guanzhong before, there were no less than dozens of large landlords who followed Li Xuanqing to check in Guanzhong, not counting the large number of small and medium-sized landlords. If the Han people in the northwest want to develop, they cannot rely on land, or even animal husbandry. In the past, the party was nomadic, but now the whole people have also switched to industry and commerce?

"Let Sima Jianshi immediately promulgate the Datang Industrial and Commercial Code, and from now on, fully implement the laws of my Datang in Guazhou, and all laws and regulations that violate the laws of my Datang will be abolished." After Tuoba Si gave the order, he smiled coldly and said: "From today on, the Tang Dynasty will take root in the northwest, and it will not be easy for eternity. ”

On the last day of September in the third year of the Apocalypse, the Guazhou Thorn History Mansion began to officially issue the Datang Law, and the accompanying law court began to officially open its office, and at the same time, the industrial and commercial code also officially replaced the previous regulations of the Guiyi Army, and Guazhou was also officially integrated with the Tang Dynasty. Those who were killed by Tuoba Si butcher knife before and did not dare to move all walks of life in Guazhou at this time found that the Tang Dynasty's commercial support was much more beneficial than that of any dynasty and princes, and those who were originally engaged in Guazhou commerce immediately agreed with this unprecedented industrial and commercial code.

However, it seems that Tuoba Siji's target at this time is not on these locals, or that he, Xuan Yingwei and the Western Expeditionary Army are focusing on other people at this time.

"Chief of Staff, you're in charge of dealing with the Celestial Sect with the Assassin Mansion, Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona will not be so easy to deal with when they come, especially after being disrupted by our random punches, they will definitely react and counterattack. So this matter was brought forward by the Assassin Shifu on stage, and the military was in the dark. Tuoba Siji looked at Sima Daoxin and Liu Xuan and said with a smile: "You two are also acquaintances." Sima Jianshi, you can take this opportunity to ask the military to assist you in forming the Guard Department, Guazhou is currently the front line, and the Guard Department and the upcoming National Guard must maintain good local law and order to reduce the pressure on the army. ”

Liu Xuan glanced at Sima Daoxin and nodded: "Please rest assured, the deputy prime minister, I will transfer some elite manpower to assist the assassin to form a complete security department, but after all, the security bureau is a local law enforcement agency under the cabinet, and it is still different from the military, so I also ask the deputy prime minister to send the main personnel to the cabinet and the emperor, and it is best to send the chief officer from the security department to take over." Although this is a military area where the military can take action, try not to take over government affairs, so as not to bring a precedent for latecomers to follow.

In fact, if it weren't for too many things at this time, I'm afraid that Chang'an would have been summoned to ask for additional manpower, but at this time, it is a matter of the Heavenly Sect, so Tuoba Sijian plans to take this opportunity to let the military send personnel in an independent way to avoid this taboo.

"Okay, the emperor will definitely deal with this matter, don't worry, and the Western Expeditionary Army has Wan Yi as the main commander, and if he doesn't give an order, then it won't be considered military interference in government affairs." Tuoba Si Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "If the Heavenly Fang Sect bewitches the people and those rich people have any changes, the military must use thunder to deter the forces on the other side of the sandbank. ”

Although Sima Daoxin didn't understand what Tuoba Siji and Liu Xuan's last sentence meant, he still quickly noticed that the current military and political system of the Tang Dynasty was only afraid that there had been a big change from the previous generation, and this change should also be that after he served as the Guazhou Assassin, he would not be able to control the previous group of county soldiers.

"As for Xiaohu, your task is still the same as before, under the control of Zhao Si on the sandbank, your task does not need to be issued by me, you can do it yourself, but you need to communicate with me before acting." Tuoba Sizhi nodded, obviously knowing something about Zhao Si's actions, so he didn't ask about the specific plan of action on the Flying Eagle Brigade's side, and said directly.

Su Xiaohu nodded, the Flying Eagle Brigade had always been under the control of Xuan Yingwei, so there was no resistance to Zhao Si's plan, but he had a question, so he still asked on the spot: "But recently, there are a lot of spies from the sandbank who have come to Guazhou, do you want to do it together?" "This guy is uncomfortable if he doesn't walk on the knife a few times a day.

"Don't worry about these people, our household registration system can quickly identify them, and I also need them to pass on some news to Zhang Chaofeng." Su Xiaohu didn't know the whole plan, but Tuoba Sizhi didn't continue to explain, but after saying a word, he waved everyone to disperse and go to prepare.

However, Su Xiaohu's side had to wait for Zhao Si's news, so he had to continue to wait for surveillance, but Sima Daoxin immediately took action, and the Assassin's Mansion almost directly issued an announcement, requiring the newly established Security Bureau to cooperate with the Civil Affairs Department to investigate all religions and strongholds in Guazhou within a time limit, and all religious property and Tianmu believers must also be registered with the Assassin's Mansion within a time limit, and it is not allowed to preach at will without the permission of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

This article has almost wiped out all the religions in Guazhou, and if these religions are bound by this article, then there will be absolutely no way to preach and expand their influence at will in the future. Guazhou Thorn Shifu this is completely different from the previous regulations suddenly broke the balance, to be precise, it is the most stringent regulations since the existence of religion, the government has no restrictions on religion at all, although it has also experienced a large-scale extermination of Buddha similar to the era of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but that is only the emperor's preference, to be clear, I also see the harm of religion to rule, but there is no similar Guazhou in the name of the name of the curse.

Therefore, even Buddhism, which had always had a neutral attitude towards the reform of Guazhou, began to change its attitude, and even began to contact Buddhists in Suzhou and other places to jointly write to Tuoba Sizhi to ask for the interpretation of this regulation, but Tuoba Sizhi ignored it, and even directly asked the army to order that any religious forces that had any changes in Guazhou should be severely punished.

This kind of practice of suppressing all dissatisfaction with strength is violent and does not leave a feeling, and almost a word pushes all religious forces to the opposite side, you must know how bitter and cold the northwest region is, and the Silk Road has formed a dense branch here, so Guazhou alone gathers large and small religious forces, and most of the wealth and power of Guazhou are concentrated in their hands. This was also the order of the suppression of religion immediately after the stabilization of agriculture and animal husbandry, which was imposed on the basis of commerce.

And the reaction of these religions is also what Tuoba has already thought, by forcing them off the basis of their continued growth by executive order, while using commerce to weaken their financial power. This is the purpose of Yeluqi's arrival in Guazhou. Because Murong Hanhai had already prepared in advance according to Li Xuanqing's order.

Li Xuanqing had already tried to formulate a way to deal with the religion of the Western Regions when he learned about the Heavenly Sect, but he and Qiaoxi were both from later generations, and although they did not know all about the methods of the government to control religion in later generations, they still knew the basic principles. Religious missions are not only subject to registration, but are also subject to the kind of religious associations that come to life. Even according to Li Xuanqing's idea, all religious doctrines of the Tang Dynasty in the future must conform to the purpose of governing the country of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise they will all be denounced as cults. All religions and spiritual teachings that are preached in the Tang Dynasty must also be preached and positive, otherwise they need to be banned. And the kind of **** of the Tianfang Sect that brainwashes the believers at every turn, and then subverts the local government, is listed as the first-class object that needs to be exterminated.

However, after cutting off the economic foundation of religion, Li Xuanqing still thought of a way for later generations, that is, to let the members of various religions donate their own funds and allocate funds through religious associations every year, which is equivalent to the government controlling the lifeblood of religious development.

However, the rules formulated by Li Xuanqing have not been implemented in the Central Plains for the time being, the Central Plains has undergone great changes at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and all industries have withered, coupled with the previous Apocalypse reform, which has almost swept away the powerful nobles who still exist in the troubled times, if these religions are eradicated at this time, then the Central Plains is afraid that the land will shed blood again. Therefore, Li Xuanqing thought about it again and again and thought of another way, taking advantage of the opportunity of the northwest side to regain the lost territory, first implement it in the northwest, and then use the opportunity of the northwest side to forcefully suppress religion to push the mainland religions to surrender to themselves, although such a reform will definitely stir up waves and leave hidden dangers, but for the current momentum of the mainland's vigorous economic development, Li Xuanqing has no way to plan to clean up these religions.

Therefore, after Tuoba Sijian learned about Li Xuanqing's thoughts, he knew that he could not be soft in the northwest in the slightest, and even needed the northwest military management when necessary, and the opportunity of the military and political inseparability to use the powerful military strength of the Western Expeditionary Army to completely exterminate the religious extremists in the northwest led by the Tianfang Sect, remove all obstacles for the northwest, and at the same time deter all religions in the Central Plains. However, this kind of thing for the people is a bit too difficult for a pure soldier like Wan Yi, so he directly threw these to Tuoba Sizhi, anyway, this is all internal affairs and military politics have nothing to do with it. Therefore, Wan Yi only stared at the sandbar and Zhang Chaofeng on the border between Suzhou and Guazhou, and after Chai Jia and Tuoba Si arrived with their troops, they began to take over the confrontation with Zhang Chaofeng's Guiyi army, and used the army to help Tuoba Sijian create a safe and controllable space and time to exert everything.

This matter was understood when Wan Yi placed the backup troops and horses near Suoyang City, and it was precisely because of this that Tuoba Siji would have enough time to deal with the Heavenly Fang Sect.
