Chapter 198: Li Maozhen's Compromise

Indeed, because of the habit of fighting grass valleys, although the Khitans had mercenary money to take, they were still happy to loot the property of the enemy's people, and they did not think about the consequences. If you try to stop them, you can even cause a mutiny. For these people, Li Cunhuan is simply speechless. If they are used to implement the three-light policy, it is estimated that the Japanese will not do as well as them.

In fact, the son of Yelu Abaoji, the most wise emperor of the Liao State after Yelu Abaoji, Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, he once conquered the Later Jin Dynasty, expanded the territory of the Liao Dynasty to the Central Plains, and almost first Kublai Khan, becoming the first nomadic monarch to conquer China. However, because of the indulgence of the soldiers, Yerod simply indulged the soldiers to fight the grass valley, and as a result, there was either an uprising or a rebellion in all directions. It has only been a year, and the people of the Central Plains have nothing to rob in their hands. And because of the disturbance of the Khitans, the people of the Central Plains under the rule of Yelu Deguang were unable to farm, and as a result, the Khitans had neither popular support nor food supplies, and finally fled back to Liaodong under the attack of the rebel army, and Yelu Deguang lost his life halfway.

Although Li Cunhuan didn't know about this historical event, as long as he wasn't an idiot, he knew the consequences of indulging soldiers in looting. In fact, many of the first peasant uprisings in history, although they were huge, were eventually extinguished because they pursued a policy of burning, killing and looting, which led to the peasant class that could have been co-opted and sympathetic to them and finally stood in opposition to them.

In December, the cold air raged on the land of Liaodong, and the edge of the sea began to freeze, and the snow white and shiny white snow enveloped the land.

A group of troops dressed in black slowly approached from the end of the road.

Sha Yuke rode on the war horse, stroked the battle robe on his body, and couldn't help but sigh: "General, you are really a god!" This cotton can be thought of by you to make a robe, it's very warm! With these, now the winter march can reduce the frostbite of the soldiers! ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that there is too little cotton this year, Feng Dao!" ”

"Yes! What's the matter with the Great General? Feng Dao, who was riding a horse and mule behind, hurriedly caught up and asked.

Sha Yu Ke glanced at the horse and mule that Feng Dao was sitting down with some indifference, as a military general, Sha Yu Ke looked down on the literati the most, especially when this literati was still riding a horse and mule. If you use the current words, the horse is a genuine Mercedes-Benz, and the horse and mule are knock-offs, and whoever drives a Mercedes-Benz will be able to afford to open a knockoff.

Li Cunhuan was a little helpless about the contradictions between civil and military, but he didn't coordinate too deliberately, after all, no monarch wanted his subordinates to be together. After straightening the look on his face, Li Cunhuan opened his mouth and said: "Feng Dao, send someone to inform Zhang Chengye that in addition to the autumn and summer taxes, one tax in kind will be added to all taxes next year. Cotton is levied as a tax in kind, according to the number of acres per household, and one pound of cotton per acre. By the way, the two taxes in autumn and summer have also been reduced to three percent, and the people who are exempt are too poor. ”

"Yes, General!" Feng Dao took out a notebook and quill from the leather bag on the side, quickly recorded it in the notebook, raised his head, and asked Li Cunhuan: "General, are there anything else?" ”

"Well, no, I'll call you if you need to record!" Li Cunhuan nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Yes, General!" Feng Daobi replied respectfully, raised his head and glanced at Sha Yuke, and raised the quill pen in his hand slightly. The angry Sha Eucalyptus is half dead, although Sha Eucalyptus is strong in martial arts, but he doesn't know a single big character, oh no! He is similar to Wei Xiaobao, because he likes gambling more, and he knows everyone from one to ten.

Sha Yu Ke took out some of his strengths to deal with Feng Dao, and just wanted to draw a knife to threaten, but saw Feng Dao pointing to Sha Dao's side with a smug smile. Sha Juanke's face changed slightly, and Sha Eucalyptus knew who Feng Dao was referring to, and it was not Li Cunhuan. In front of Li Cunhuan, Sha Yuke was brave enough to draw a knife to threaten Feng Dao, but he could only glare at Feng Dao very breathlessly.

Li Cunhuan was not ignorant of Feng Dao and Sha Yuke's small actions, but he didn't intervene and smiled a little funny. Slowly driving the horse forward, hundreds of soldiers in front of him who were clearing the snowdrifts took shovels to shovel pieces of snow to the side, sweeping out the official road made of bluestone slabs.

According to the guide, this official road was there in the Han Dynasty, but at that time it was a loess road, and in the Tang Gaozong period, he conquered Goguryeo at that time, and in order to consolidate the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the East, he built this official road paved with bluestone slabs. Tang Gaozong should have been more than 200 years now, and Li Cunhuan couldn't imagine that this official road was still maintained well. Li Cunhuan couldn't help but sigh that the ancients were really simple. At present, I don't know how much tofu dregs, and it is not uncommon for roads to have problems after a year or two.

"General, the speed of the march is too slow now, I think it's better to let the infantry set off first!" Feng Dao suggested on the side.

Li Cunhuan shook his head, in fact, when he sent troops at this time, he wanted to suddenly have a surname, but the situation was not as optimistic as he thought. The first is the use of sleds, which are not trained and mature dogs, fail...... Snowboarding, only two or three out of a hundred soldiers can learn, half failed......

However, according to the guide, in January, there will be no snow and the snow will melt slowly, but this time is more slow, but the situation is much better than now.

But Li Cunhuan can't wait so long, he must quickly solve the affairs of Liaodong, and there are more things he needs to do in the Central Plains. For example, now, Zhu Wen has become more and more powerful. Jinyiwei just came with the news that Li Maozhen had no choice but to surrender to Zhu Wen, and it is more correct to say that Li Maozhen compromised with Zhu Wen. Li Maozhen handed over the Xuanwu Emperor Li Wei whom he supported to Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen beheaded the Xuanwu Emperor Li Wei in the name of a traitor and thief, and the hapless Li Wei became a political victim. And Li Maozhen, who "set things right", was named the Duke of Qi by Zhu Wen to appease Li Maozhen's wounded heart. However, even if Li Maozhen and Zhu Wen compromised, the forces in Li Maozhen's hands were still very objective.

Xingyuan Mansion, which is now Hanzhong City, is in the hands of Li Maozhen, and if Li Maozhen has a granary. And there is also a passage into Nishikawa. In the north, Li Maozhen has the Fengxiang Mansion with strong folk customs, although the land is poor, but there is a grain supply in Hanzhong, which undoubtedly makes Li Maozhen complementary. Now in the hands of Li Maozhen, there are a total of two prefectures and six states, and the power should not be underestimated, otherwise Zhu Wen would not compromise with Li Maozhen.
