Chapter 208: The Fermentation of the Pavilion Tao Incident
Zhu Dutou and the soldiers talked openly with Captain Huang Zu, and then talked in private. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The content of the two conversations is not the same.
Captain Huang Zu didn't ask them for too many supplies, the infrastructure work of the camp had been completed, and it was useless to leave those prisoners behind, and most of those supplies were some basic daily necessities.
When he asked for supplies, he also noticed that the total amount should not be too much...... If we can store more supplies in future wars, we may be able to help more people.
In front of the accompanying soldiers, Zhu Dutou was neither humble nor arrogant to Captain Huang Zu, and even boldly argued with him that the number of materials he asked for was too much, and he wanted to lower it.
Privately, he truthfully reported to Captain Huang Zu on the military preparations of the Tatar bandit group.
This war may be about to break out in earnest......
What happened in the Guantao City area was inevitably known by Dong Fang's superiors, and after reporting at various levels, it finally reached the center of the Tatar bandit group...... This incident alerted them!
First, they thought that the Liuqiu pirates dared to go so deep into the non-Shandong region; The second is that they think that the combat strength of the Liuqiu pirates is extremely weak, and hundreds of young and strong cities have scared them away!
Tongzhi Privy Council envoy Boyan said to the big boss Kublai Khan that his tens of thousands of troops had rested and could now march towards the Shandong region and drive the pirates there into the sea in one fell swoop!
The right prime minister, Zhang Hongfan, also played the incident in the Guantao area, and also thought that it was now possible to march to the Shandong area...... The reason is simple, the pirates can't be left to their own devices!
The two people did not agree to communicate in advance, but they unanimously made the same statement, which can be said to be the same as the hero, or that both of them have made certain achievements in their own fields and are full of confidence in their own army...... More importantly, the two of them each represent the interests of different classes of groups.
The Tatar aristocracy was not too satisfied with the current situation.
The big bosses have less and less wealth allocated to them, and more and more places for them to spend money...... In the places they govern, they can rob with impunity, but there are fewer and fewer money to rob!
They needed war, and in this way, they could interrupt the restrictions on their robbery by Heizhang Ahma...... At present, the Hui man was so pleased with the great leader Kublai Khan that he instituted many rules to limit the development of the Tatar nobles under the pretext of enriching the treasury.
The wealth of the Tatar nobles has decreased, but they dare not speak out, and the steel knife in the hand of the big leader Kublai Khan is not vegetarian...... Dare to violate the core interests of the Tatar bandit group, and he will kill it as well!
The treasury was full, but the nobility was impoverished, and a feeling of discontent pervaded the whole group of bandits...... We don't come together to be poor.
So, war became a necessity...... They can grab it!
Hänchen Group is not too satisfied with the current situation.
Recently, Pingzhang Ahmad has reduced the taxes of the common people at the expense of collecting money and goods, and has abolished the transfer officials and let the governors of various provinces also take charge of collecting taxes according to the amount, so that the state has not used it enough.
At the same time, he also checked the number of household registrations, returned those from far to those near places, set up a metropolitan transfer envoy, estimated that the situation would increase the amount of taxes in the past, and selected honest and capable officials to handle the matter separately.
On the one hand, he insisted on fighting corruption unswervingly, and killed some people in Hanchen who were dissatisfied with his management or weak execution in the name of corruption; On the other hand, he installed his own cronies or defected to his officials...... And for this reason, he set up various transfer envoys, and appointed Yibi Lejin , Za Ma Thorn, Zhang Wei, Fu Jue, Cai Derun, Su Shi Lieheng, Ali Hezhi, Wan Yandi, Jiang Yi, Ah Lao Wading, Barbed Sha and other people who took refuge in themselves as transfer envoys.
For a time, his policies were more and more promoted.
In terms of economic policy, he allowed public and private smelting and casting iron, but it was monopolized by the government; It is still forbidden for all kinds of people to make bronze objects privately.
He did everything possible to ensure that the people's financial resources would not be exhausted and that the treasury would be spent.
He presided over the issuance of money belonging to the Tatar bandit group, commonly known as the handover banknotes, which were forcibly issued at a specified currency value, and were mainly used to trade with the Song Dynasty...... He used the threat of war and other methods to force the Song Dynasty government to pay for the extra banknotes he issued, and as a result, the Song Dynasty government had to pinch its nose and admit it, after all, this indirect robbery method is always smaller than the direct use of force to rob the loss.
The Great Song Dynasty government has always adhered to the method of calming things down and eliminating disasters with money...... It was too happy for them to straighten out their foreign relations purely by commercial means, as long as the Tatars could buy commercial goods and avoid war.
Problems that can be solved with money are never a big problem...... Pingzhang Ahma keenly discovered this characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty government, and for a time he had no fear.
The Hanchen Group looked angrily at the representative of the financial management faction, a Huihui person with a long coloring purpose, who was putting his hands up and down, and placed his own hands openly.
None of the Han officials who were defeated by Pingzhang Ahma were not corrupt...... Of course, in the system established by the Tatar bandit group, if you don't be greedy and give a little, you can't survive at all, so he hits one by one!
Moreover, he is not only aimed at Hanchen, a small number of Tatar low-level officials, if he is not obedient, he will still raise the big stick of the manager's law, and he will not let go even if he dies!
There was a middle- and low-level official named Yidu Martin, who was dismissed because he owed money to the public, and after his death, he still owed a lot of money that he had not paid off.
Since he had been arguing about Pingzhang Ahma's manager, he discussed the solution through the Zhongshu Provincial Shangjuan, and the big boss Kublai Khan publicly supported him:
"This is a matter of money and food, go and discuss it with Ahma."
The big boss Kublai Khan was very satisfied with the actions of Pingzhang Ahma's manager, because the treasury was being replenished...... At least the armies that had come from afar had been supplied with the necessary supplies and had not caused any trouble.
Therefore, now those Tatar nobles and Hanchen are desperate to wage war to stop the management law implemented by the financial faction, and the Guantao incident is just a ready-made excuse...... There is a reason for their actions.
Kublai Khan, the big leader, was in a dilemma at this time, and according to the report of Pingzhang Ahma, in another year or so, the entire system of the Tatar bandit group will be sorted out, and the impetus will be added to the direction of regularization and even nationalization as a whole.
It's not just a matter of taxes...... The big leader, Kublai Khan, saw new hope in the report of Pingzhang Ahma, and he certainly understood the benefits of doing so.
However, there is a matter of time here...... At present, the forces within the system that promote the act of war should not be underestimated.
No matter how powerful the big boss Kublai Khan was, he had to take into account the attitudes of important members.
In the most critical places, the army will not be used for a long time, which is not conducive to local stability.
ps: I've been too busy lately, I'm sorry for my friends who support me, it's fine in November. (To be continued.) )
