Chapter 314: Hua Qingtian
If Western Xia is compared to a house, then Renduo Baozhong and the leaders of the eight departments of the party are the pillars that support this house.
Now, these pillars were either removed by Yang Yi or the Liang family themselves, leaving only the big pillar in the middle of the Liang family.
No matter how beneficial the Liang family is, it is difficult for him to support this house firmly, not to mention that the Liang family is not necessarily very smart, it is just a family of relatives who rely on a woman's chest.
Therefore, such a house, as long as it is poked by external forces, will be crumbling!
Yang Yi's raid on Hexi this time proved that Western Xia was so weak.
It's no wonder that even if the Great Song Dynasty suffers a series of big defeats such as Mengyun Valley, I'm afraid that the building will fall, not to mention that the small people of the Western Xia Kingdom are poor, and the economy is extremely dependent on the Great Song Dynasty, so it's good to be able to support it today!
In the first battle of Shule River, after Yang Yi killed Yeli Ye'an in front of him, the 20,000 Xia army soon evolved into a great rout, and the way back to Hetao had long been cut off, and there was no escape, so they had no other choice but to surrender.
Yang Yibing divided into two routes, and asked Liu Laohu to lead 5,000 men and horses to Shazhou, and he took the rest of the men and horses to take Guazhou by the way, in addition to guarding the prisoners.
There were still two or three thousand Xia troops in the city of Guazhou, but after Yeli Ye'an's head was hung under the city by the Song army with bamboo poles, there was no need for Renduo Baozhong to persuade him, and the defenders in the city surrendered automatically in despair!
How much do you pretend to resist!
Surrendering like this gave Yang Yi a little headache, and now there is no excuse to "wipe out" the remnants!
What to do?
Hua Mulan saw that Yang Yi was embarrassed, and suddenly smiled: "My lord, I have a way!" ”
Yang Yi glanced at her and said, "Sell less guanzi, what is the way to say it quickly." ”
"My lord, when you are in Huanzhou, you are a famous lord of the blue sky, and the people say that you judge the case like a god, why don't you also go to the court here to ask about the case, so that the poor people can redress their grievances and take revenge."
"What is the revenge of grievances, revenge of revenge, it should be this vendetta in the rivers and lakes! Ahem, but, your idea is not bad, so let's do it, it's up to you to ask the case! ”
Mulan's idea is not bad, it is equivalent to a disguised grievance meeting, these big families are many powerful, who hasn't done anything to bully people?
Even if he doesn't, we can let him have it, I said he has it! It's just an excuse anyway.
"My lord? Let me come to the court to ask questions? Hua Mulan pointed to the tip of her nose with a look of disbelief, obviously she was not prepared for the Qingtian Lord.
"What? Anyway, you are also a female general, and you don't dare to ask about a case? Yang Yi glanced at her, as the saying goes, it is better to be agitated.
Sure enough, Hua Mulan puffed up her chest and snorted: "I'll come, I'll come, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?" ”
Then she muttered a little angrily: "If you don't want to come forward, you know that you let the family be evil!" ”
Yang Yi glared at her again and said, "What are you talking about?" Lao Tzu forced the palace...... Uh, I'm still afraid of offending those people? Which shallots are they? It's a big deal, and it's cut clean; It's just that I'm the supreme commander here now, in order to have a room for maneuver, it's not appropriate for me to try this case, am I going to be a villain, and let you subordinates act as good people and appease the people? What's going on? Do people believe it? ”
Hua Mulan knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she weakly admitted her mistake, and finally asked with some anxiety: "My lord, you won't push me out and cut me down in order to appease the people, will you?" ”
Yang Yi laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Possibly! If you don't do well, I don't have to wait until then, I'll cut you down first!" Hahaha......"
At this time, the Song army also basically controlled the city of Guazhou, and those officials and gentry in the city went out of the city to greet Yang Yi in fear.
Yang Yi put away his murderous aura, smiled kindly, comforted them in a good voice, and invited them to go into the city with him.
Since ancient times, Guazhou has been a transportation hub for the east and west, and an important business town on the Silk Road.
Yang Yi rode into the city from the east gate, and the city was basically calm, but the shops and houses along the street were closed, and many people peeked at the movement outside through the doors and windows, and some boldly stood on the side of the road.
The buildings in the city are mostly mud houses, there are also some brick and stone structures, like the Central Plains those bamboo and wood structures are relatively few, this is very easy to understand, there are not many trees here, the yellow sand is long, if you cut down trees to build houses, it is to kill yourself in the city Han people, Uighurs, Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Tatars, big cannibals, everything, Yang Yi can see the most is naturally Han people, because of the same ancestry, they are less afraid of the Song army.
That night, Yang Yi accepted a banquet from the former Guazhou officials and gentry at the government office. Halfway through the banquet, he received news from Shazhou, and as expected, Liu Laohu also successfully won Guazhou, which made the smile on Yang Yi's face even more kind, and made those demoted officials and local gentry feel a lot more relieved.
The next day, Yang Yi took half of the people out of the city and began to sort out the periphery of Gua and Shazhou! He divided his army into a group of several hundred, rushed to the border, and then pulled back like a net.
You can't let those herdsmen drive their cattle and sheep to other countries, here to the south are the grass-headed Tatars and yellow-headed Uighurs, to the west is not far from the Yumen Pass is the territory of the Xizhou Uighurs, and to the north is the Shangjing Road of the Liao State.
If the herdsmen were worried that they would be killed after the Great Song Dynasty took over, it was not impossible for them to drive their cattle and sheep to other countries, so they must be controlled as soon as possible.
Whether it's a cow, a horse, or a person, everything is wealth, and you can't cheapen others for nothing!
And in the city, a unique drama has also begun.
Song Junyi is thin and cloudy, and he is the master of the people, and the soldiers go door to door to ask those poor people, do you have any grievances?
Yes, okay, go to the state government immediately to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and we will definitely make the decision for you.
No?
How can you not be wronged?
Think about it, think about it again, who caused you to be so poor? If you have no grievances, how can others be so rich, but you are so poor?
Don't say it, you must have a grievance!
Go quickly, go quickly, we Hua Qingtian are also from poor backgrounds, and we have always spared no effort to redress the grievances of the poor people!
In the lobby of the state government, Hua Mulan couldn't get the official uniform, so she had to polish her armor brightly, hang a crescent sword on her waist, and sit in the main hall, with red lips and white teeth, and she was heroic and majestic!
The two rows of murderous Song sergeants in the hall made cameo appearances as government officers, holding water and fire sticks, with a large saber at their waists, and their cold eyes could make the faint of heart pee their pants in fright.
"Ascension!"
"Mighty ......"
"Bringing people to commit crimes...... Uh, no, bring the plaintiff! "Hua Qingtian seems to need a process of adaptation.
The two classes of cameo soldiers were all holding their cheeks bulging, like enraged toads!
"What are you laughing at? It's all the one surnamed Yang...... Uh, don't you see that there are so many plaintiffs standing under the hall? Don't hurry up and bring the plaintiff yet. Hua Qingtian was annoyed and angry, and slapped the startled wood loudly.
An old woman in her fifties and sixties was brought in, and when she saw this posture in the hall, her legs trembled with fright.
Hua Qing was afraid that she would not sue her, so she hurriedly asked in a harmonious voice: "Auntie, you don't have to be afraid, if you have any grievances, please come, this official enforces the law like a mountain, loves the people like a son, and will definitely be the master for you." ”
It's good, Hua Qingtian has finally entered the role.
The old woman trembled and said, "The women want to sue the Abul family in the south of the city and rob the daughters of the women as concubines......
Bang!
The table did not collapse, but the old woman was shaken, and she sat on the ground with her eyes rolled and fainted.
"Robbing the people's daughter, this is okay, it's just a crime, come on, ......" Hua Qingtian didn't order immediately, but looked down at the list in his hand, very good, there is a list.
"Come on! Bring the head of the house of Abul in the south of the city to the court! Lady ......"
Hua Qingtian's voice stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that she only realized at this time that the plaintiff had already fainted in fright!
The old lady was sprayed with a few mouthfuls of cold water, and finally woke up leisurely, and said with a blank face: "Lord Qingtian, the women don't tell you, the women don't ......."
"How's that going to work? Don't worry, aunt, this official has already sent someone to take the defendant into custody, and this official will definitely give you a grievance. ”
After a lot of appeasement, the old lady finally dared to stay. It didn't take long for the head of the Abul family in the south of the city to be brought to the church!
"Who's in the hall?"
"My lord, the grass people Muhara? Abler! ”
"This Aunt Ge sued you for forcibly robbing her daughter as a concubine, but is there such a thing?"
"My lord, the grass people have been wronged! She voluntarily sold her daughter to me, and I paid her a full five times. ”
"Boldly Diao Min, you still dare to quibble in my hall, buy a big living person with five dollars, what is the difference between you and robbery? Come on! Give this official a hundred palms! ”
When the corporal got the order, he couldn't help but say that he would slap his mouth when he dragged the person down, and for a while, the hall crackled non-stop, and there were bursts of howls.
What is that muhara called? When Abul's was dragged up to the hall again, his whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and his tongue could not be contained, and it fell straight out.
"Say! Have you ever robbed a woman? ”
"Woo......"
"Well, since you admit it, come on! Mukha ...... Say, what's your name? ”
"Woo woo......."
"No matter, come on, this person named Muha or something robbed the people's daughter, the crime is extremely heinous, and he copied his house for the official!"
"Woo...... "That's called Muhara. Ahpler's desire to cry without tears, I was beaten so that I couldn't speak, how could I confess my guilt?
No matter what, who got you on the blacklist?
Hua Qingtian decided the case quickly, and he didn't look at Muhara much? Abula glanced at him, slapped the startled wood, and shouted again: "Come on! Take the next plaintiff. ”
In this way, Hua Qingtian tried dozens of cases in a day, and when he encountered someone on the list, he didn't have to say that he slapped a hundred mouths first, and a hundred slaps down, and usually the defendant "acquiesced" to the facts of the crime!
encountered someone who was not on the list, so she was put in prison first on the grounds that the case was complicated, didn't the person surnamed Yang want to be leisurely? I'll let him go!
Hua Qingtian's eyes were like lightning, and he was discerning, and the "landlord bullies" in Guazhou City had nowhere to hide, and one by two was taken into prison, and the family immediately rushed into a team of soldiers and raided the house!
The chickens and dogs in the whole Guazhou City jumped, crying, of course, there was no shortage of applause and praise for Hua Qingtian, after all, these powerful families do usually have many bullies!
