Chapter 096: Twin Expansion

At present, Lin Pengyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, presided over the trial, Xu Xunshan, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Cheng Si'an, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Hao, the king of Western Xia, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the powerful Xunqing observed, and opened the hall under the Golden Palace.

The golden gourd warrior was murderous and stood left and right, and the first one to summon was Wang Shirong, the staff of the Weiwu Department Tuoba Han Chan, Wang Shirong had already been Yang Hao to seize Xiazhou, and the Tuoba Han Chan brothers were wavering, intending to take advantage of Yang Hao's patrol to intercept and kill Yang Hao when he was in the camp, and since then he has become a nail planted by Yang Hao in the Weiwu tribe.

Wang Shirong, as the staff and military advisor of Tuoba Han Chan, knows all his actions well, after he was brought to the Golden Palace, he really knows everything, and he knows everything, how the Weiwu tribe is arrogant and arrogant, and is above the local government; how to enter Xiaoguan, pull up the Cangshi tribe, use the hands of the Tubo people to consume the strength of the Cangshi tribe, and force these two tribes to take refuge in Huyan Aobo; how to withdraw the army without authorization, ignoring the dissuasion and explanation of the Cangshi tribe, brazenly took action and provoked a big war; Until how to kill the envoy and destroy the holy decree, it is clear and clear.

Tuoba Wu and his entourage were speechless when they heard this, and they only secretly scolded Tuoba Han Chan's brothers for not being angry: 100 catties of noodles steamed with a big longevity peach - you two waste dim sum, your most trusted henchmen have taken refuge in the king, how can we intercede for you.

Lin Pengyu's face sank like water, looking like an iron-faced judge, after listening to Wang Shirong's confession, he asked him to sign and draw in the hall and the hall, and took it aside, and then shouted a passer's card, and a group of people came to the golden palace, men, women, old and young, all sè people, etc., as soon as they went to the main hall, they were crying and crying, kneeling, shouting grievances, and begging for help.

These people are all dressed in beard and braided hair, listening to them shouting and shouting for a long time, all the civil and military people understand that these people are the families of the two people and horses of the Cangshi tribe who were transferred to Xiaoguan, and they have appeared to say that how the Tuoba Han Chan brothers borrowed a knife to kill people and designed a frame-up, it is even more questionable. They are bloody, tearful, and everyone who hears it is sympathetic, and they are also members of the Tuoba clan, and the xenophobic psychology of the Tuoba clan is very serious, and because Yang Hao is Li Guangcen's righteous son, he is the foundation of the world, and it is difficult to defeat the army, so the Tuoba clan always has a sense of superiority when facing the people of the Western Regions, even if the people of their own clan have some bullying behavior, they do not think so, but this time the victims are also their own clan, and they can't help but be a little weak and timid.

Immediately afterwards, Tuoba Haofeng and Tuoba Haodi, two cousins as plaintiffs, also ascended the main hall and told how the Weiwu tribe provoked and attacked its tribe from the ground to the ground, and finally what was brought to the temple was the wounded soldiers who were captured when the Weiwu tribe fought with the Cangshi tribe.

Lin Pengyu recorded the oral confessions of the people one by one in the court, asked them to sign and draw the confession, and then left the small and several, turned back and bowed to Yang Hao and said: "The king, the ministers are edicted, and the Weiwu tribe has left their posts without permission, provoked the Cangshi tribe, beheaded the envoy, tore up the edict, and there is no king, and the case of complicity and rebellion is now, and now the human and physical evidence are there, and I will reply to the king." ”

Yang Hao stood on top and asked awe-inspiringly, "The evidence is conclusive?" ”

Lin Pengyu said in a deep voice: "Conclusive! ”

"The facts are clear?"

"Clear!"

"Okay, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, you say, Tuoba Han Chan and Tuoba Heshao, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Tuoba Wu glanced at each other with several tribal leaders, seeing this situation, he already knew that Yang Hao was determined to deal with the crimes of this bastard brother, maybe he would have to punish them heavily, and imprison them in Xingzhou, it seems that it is impossible to completely exonerate them, and now they can only find a way to reduce their guilt, and it is best to pay some cattle, sheep and horses to atone for their crimes.

This side is secretly calculating, Lin Pengyu has said categorically: "Tuoba Han Chan, Tuoba He Shao, for their own selfishness, regardless of the overall situation, squeezed out and suppressed the Cangshi tribe, forcing their people to have no choice but to surrender to the enemy, this move is no different from the enemy, according to my Xixia law, should be beheaded!" ”

Tuoba Wu and the others were shocked when they heard this, their eyes widened, in their thoughts, Yang Hao wanted to severely punish Tuoba Han Chan's brothers, and the biggest punishment was to imprison the two of them in Xingzhou, and choose a few obedient ones among his sons and nephews to take charge of tribal affairs, and they definitely didn't expect that there would be a capital crime. This is completely beyond their estimates. Just depriving these two people of their powers and imprisoning Xingzhou, these chieftains feel that it is serious, and now it is a capital crime? These people were stunned for a moment, but they didn't even make a sound to refute.

Lin Pengyu continued to say loudly: "Tuoba Han Chan, Tuoba He Shao, did not follow the edict, left his post without permission, if it was not for the imperial court to find out in time, transfer General Yang Yanlang to garrison Douling, my Xixia Xiongguan, will be Longyou Tubo at his fingertips, so mediocre and absurd, dangerous to cause endless disasters, its crime is more serious than escaping from the battle, especially three points, Yang Shangshu, you are in charge of the military department, such behavior, how to punish according to military law?" ”

Yang Jiye immediately replied: "According to military law, you should be beheaded!" ”

Lin Pengyu turned around and said to Yang Hao: "Tuoba Han Han and Tuoba He Shao left the station without permission, in order to fight for the grassland pasture, they used force against the Cangshi tribe, this battle caused ninety-four people to die in both tribes, sixty-three people to be disabled, and hundreds of people to be lightly and seriously injured. ”

"Tuoba Han Chan and Tuoba He Shao, after committing a series of serious crimes, they still did not repent, and even tore up the holy decree, beheaded the envoy, and became enemies of the imperial court, this move is no different from rebellion, according to my Xixia law, should be beheaded!"

"Tuoba Han Chan and Tuoba He are extremely evil, and they will be punished for several crimes, and they should be punished according to the law!"

Yang Hao's eyes swept and asked in a deep voice: "Dali Temple, Ducha Yuan!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"Is the sentence of the Criminal Department appropriate?"

"Accurate!"

Yang Hao glanced at Tuoba Wu and the others, who were stunned, and said sharply: "In this case, the lonely king is approved, Tuoba Han Chan, Tuoba He Shao, after ten rì, cut at the noon gate!" ”

Tuoba Wu was shocked, and took a step forward and said: "The king ......"

Before he finished speaking, the civil and military officials who had been watching coldly fell to their knees and shouted: "The king is wise, and the ministers obey the order!" ”

These people seemed to have discussed it in advance, and they all shook the roof tiles with a shout, and Tuoba Wu's heart was chilled when he heard it, and the following words were not even spoken.

Yang Hao sat down slowly, sighed softly, and said with a compassionate look: "Tuoba Han Chan, Tuoba He Shao committed a heinous crime and should be beheaded." But they are guilty, but the thousands of people of the Weiwu tribe are innocent, and this king can't let these thousands of people be displaced and homeless because of the crimes of the two brothers of Tuoba Han Chan. As soon as these two people died, how would the thousands of people of the Weiwu tribe be settled? Kind of Bachelor's Degree, you ...... Is there a good solution? ”

Tuoba Qingyun people are old and angry, seeing that the arrogance of the Tuoba clan has caused public anger and touched Yang Hao's true fire, and the Tuoba clan is not in harmony, Tuoba Cangmu, Li Jitan, Li Tianlun and others are clearly determined to follow the king, so they approached Tuoba Wu, and was about to quietly persuade him to be patient, and went back to ask the clan uncle Li Zhiyi for advice and then heard this, and was shocked in his heart: "Could it be... This is not the end, the king is actually trying to make the Weiwu Department completely disappear from the world? ”

"Ahh

"Rush, kill!"

"Ten Ways of Idakre!"

"Kill those dwarfs!"

On the hillside, two teams of men and horses rushed towards each other, shouting and fighting together.

The average size of one of the centaurs was only a little more than 1.5 meters, and some of the slightly taller ones were about 1.6 meters, most of them were holding bamboo spears, and there was a leader with a long knife for every ten people or so.

Most of them were dressed in rudimentary clothes, with rudimentary rattan armor on their bodies and a pair of straw sandals on their feet, like a group of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And opposite them, there is a group of tall and big heroes, these people are more than two heads taller than these little men, all of them are burly, and the weapons in their hands are varied, such as nine-ring machetes, two-handed broadswords, three-strand forks, one-handed knives, red tassel guns, and many other side weapons.

Behind them, there stood two people steadily, one was about fifty years old, with a calm and steady, strict bearing, and slightly gray hair, but standing there like a gun, and beside him, a beautiful girl with combed hair and a ponytail, dressed in a black robe, and skin like snow, wearing a straitjacket, and wearing a short sword at her waist, watching the battlefield situation for a long time.

These two people, one is Zhang Xinglong, the former leader of the Bianhe Gang, and the other is Zhen Ziyu, the fifth son of the Zhe family.

After Zheziyu arrived in Rìben, he suddenly found that although the people here have not yet been civilized, the so-called lords of all sizes are like jokes, but the resources here are very rich, especially there are many gold and silver mines, some of which are open-pit mines at all, and many lords, due to their extremely limited production capacity, are empty of Baoshan, but they still live like a child.

Zhezi Yu Deng started their idea, Xixia to rì is still separated by Liao and Song, they have no access to the sea, even if they can get a large number of raw ore, or local refining, it is difficult to safely transport so many precious metals to Hexi, but seeing that such a huge wealth can be easily mastered, but because of this little difficulty, it is easy to let go, that is not the xìng grid of Zhezi Yu, no matter whether it can be used in the future, it is reasonable to occupy these gold and silver mines first.

If these local lords had strong force, Zhe Ziyu might use cooperation to share the benefits, but when she found out that with the hundred and ten gang brothers brought by Zhang Xinglong, the boss of the Bianhe Gang, she could dominate this group of monkeys, a more cost-effective method was easily placed in front of her.

She began to incite Zhang Xinglong, let him turn against the guest, overthrow the lord of Fujiwara, annex other lords, and began the road of expansion in a foreign land. Originally, Zhang Xinglong didn't mean this, firstly, it was the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, Fujiwara worshiped him like a living ancestor, and now he turned his face and kicked people off the stage, and he was the master of his own house, he was a little embarrassed. Second, it is also the influence of the traditional concept of the Central Plains, in his mind, being a rich man in the Central Plains is more comfortable than being a local emperor in this kind of place, and he originally did not plan to live here for a long time.

But an incident that happened in the Song Kingdom changed his mind and made him accept Zheziyu's suggestion very happily. On the side of the Song State, a vigorous purge campaign was launched between the government and the opposition, and the old ministers of the court and the central government were affected by the case of Zhao Guangmei, and the dismissal of the officials and the exile of the exiles saw that there were many people who took the initiative to step down and return to their hometowns.

This turmoil soon spread to the people, and Zhao Guangyi began to attack the four gangs of river transport. At the beginning, Bianliang was short of food, and the court was helpless, he knew exactly how much the Caoyun Four Gangs played in it, how could he let a group of gangs control the lifeblood of the country? That time, when he returned to the palace from Ruxuefang Liu Duoer, he happened to see Zhang Xinglong publicly rumored that he was located in Xue Liang, the scene was magnificent, lively and lively, and countless heroes of the rivers and lakes gathered at the Bianhe Wharf to congratulate, which had aroused his jealousy at that time.

This time, the princess, Empress Song, and Zhao Defang absconded from Beijing, using nothing more than cars, boats, and horses, involving gangs such as river and land transportation, although he did not have real evidence, it was enough to prompt him to make up his mind to clean up these forces that were attached to the lifeblood of the country's meridians but were not directly controlled by the imperial court. Immediately afterwards, the fighting methods of the Zheng family and the Cui family set off more problems in various industries at the foot of the car and boat shop.

These two families intend to use the hands of the Song court to destroy each other's power, and constantly leak and expose each other's business industry, such a huge economy, it is difficult to ensure that business is done in accordance with the rules and abide by the law of the country, those smuggling and tax evasion tricks were leaked out, they were severely sanctioned by the imperial court, the two sides used force and economic means to fight in secret, and Mingli borrowed the knife of the imperial court to kill people, and the fight was very happy, but Zhao Guangyi profited from it. Crying this business inevitably involved the four gangs of Caoyun, and with the real evidence, Zhao Guangyi began to take drastic medicine.

Xue Liang lived in Rì for half a month, rest assured that the brothers on the side of Bianliang could not be relieved, so he returned to the Central Plains, and when he went back, Tokyo Bianliang was already a thing, and the four gangs of Caoyun became rats crossing the street, and the people did not fight with the officials, unless he wanted to raise the flag to rebel, and in the face of the blow of the state machine, he had no power to resist at all, and in desperation, Xue Liang simply took the brothers he found to cross east again.

This time, Xue Liang brought nearly 10,000 people, so many people want to eat, drink, wear and use, no matter how solid Zhang Xinglong's family background is, he can't sit and eat empty, originally he listened to the words of Zhe Ziyu and hesitated, and then immediately followed the good. Nearly 10,000 people, excluding the old and young, among which there are no less than 4,000 heroes in the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to use a hand to overhead the lord of Fujiwara, just a glance past, Fujiwara obediently let Xian, but he still has a name hanging under him, this is also to facilitate the success, and when the strength is large enough, this nominal lord is not important.

This is where the road to expansion begins.

Fuso's gold mines have reserves in almost the entire Honshu and most places on Shikoku Island, and the large reserves are mainly concentrated in the northeast of Honshu Island, which is the so-called Oshu area, and the silver ore is even more abundant, especially in Iwami Province, the highest reserves, almost no need to prove, it is possible to dig silver ore with a hoe on the top of a hill in the mining area, and a little refining is a good silver key, which means a bit of open-pit silver mine.

Based on what he knew, he began to attack the lords from afar, giving gifts to the royal family that was not valued by the lords as a sign of respect, and at the same time, he began to expand in a planned and targeted manner.

These lords sit on Baoshan and do not use it, one is the lack of corresponding production technology, the other is the limited manpower, mining needs a large number of people and needs stability near the mining area, and the lords not only lack manpower, but also often fight with each other, so naturally they can not produce with peace of mind.

Excerpt Ziyu appointed himself as a military advisor, instigating Zhang Xinglong to go around in the name of the lord of Fujiwara, and the lord of obedience was just that, the disobedient lord and his samurai, once defeated, he was reduced to slavery, let them go to mining, as for the refining technology, the people of the Bianhe Gang came from all walks of life in the three mountains and five mountains, and it was not difficult to find a few masters of refining and refining, so the lord of "Fujiwara" suddenly became a celebrity among the lords of the large and small islands, and his speed and ferocity of devouring expansion were called crocodile Fujiwara.

At present, the heroes of the Bianhe gang are fighting against the lord of Shangyu, Lord Uesugi is a relatively powerful high-level samurai, with more than a hundred samurai under his command, and more than 2,000 peasants can be mobilized in wartime, but this strength is obviously not at the same level as the Bianhe gang, and this decisive battle will soon end with the complete rout of the Uesugi lord.

At this time, it is still difficult for the lord of the rì ability to command a qualified army, or what tactical tactics to use, and the people of the Bianhe Gang are not regular troops, and the battles between the two sides used to be a group fight, and in that case these lords are also difficult to please, and now under the mediation of Zheziyu, these heroes have learned to advance by listening to the drums, and Mingjin is retreating, watching the flag and arranging the formation, and gradually has the appearance of a little army, and those lords are naturally not opponents.

Zhang Xinglong watched his son-in-law show his might, and he was happy, but his beautiful eyes kept nervously paying attention to a short warrior. The soldier who was very petite compared to the tall men of the Bianhe Gang was wearing a light leather armor, and even his face was wearing a tightly covered helmet, which was modified by Zhe Ziyu from the equipment of the European-style heavy armored cavalry under Yang Hao, which could protect the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent.

But a man dressed like this warrior is only one in front of him on the battlefield, and if you pay attention, you will find that around him, there are several men with special skill, whether they charge or retreat, or attack the enemy's flank, they always use this petite samurai as the core of protection, and act completely around him.

After chasing for a while, seeing that those little dwarfs were fleeing quickly, the samurai wearing full leather armor stopped chasing, turned around and walked back, and when she arrived in front of Zhe Ziyu, she lifted her helmet and mask, revealing a pretty face with relish, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, cherry mouths, beautiful as flowers, and it turned out to be Princess Yongqing.

Excerpt Ziyu was obviously relieved, and said with a smile: "The princess actually doesn't have to go into battle in person, if the princess really wants to learn, she should also learn to dispatch troops, arrange troops, and learn the sword of the Son of Heaven and the sword of Zhuhou, not the sword of the horseman." ”

Princess Yongqing made a head shake movement, shook her hair tied into a ponytail that had been suppressed, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on the sword, and returned the sword to the sheath with a "bang", and then said coldly: "The sword of the puppet gathers tens of millions, and it is the sword of the Son of Heaven."

Besides, the sword of the puppet can exercise a person's will, courage, and physique, and I have to learn a lot, and the sword of the puppet must also be learned! ”

Excerpt Ziyu sighed softly, since she knew that Empress Song and Zhao Defang had died, this little princess had become a piece of ice, and she had never seen her smile again, Excerpt Ziyu knew that she was full of hatred and self-blame, but she didn't know how to explain her, maybe ...... The knot in her heart can only be untied when she witnesses Zhao Guangyi's death.

At this time, a short man dressed as a samurai ran towards them quickly, stood respectfully in front of them, bowed to Zheziyu and said, "Fifth Prince, the people you have made an appointment with have come, and on your orders, we will pick them up from the sea in Gangzhou." ”

"Oh?" Zhezi Yu raised his eyebrows, and looked at it with a flash, only to see another warrior in the distance, leading several big men to walk here, those people were wearing rough leather jackets, the hair on their foreheads and the top of their heads was shaved naked, their blue scalps were shining in the sun, and only half of their hair was braided into two long braids, tied with ribbons hanging down the back of their heads. Excerpt Ziyu immediately greeted him happily......
