April in Eilechuan is unpredictable, April in Qinxi is in the midst of prosperity, but April in Mobei is a dead silence.

――――――――――

Qinxi experienced a rare war after the end of the Tang Dynasty last year, and the local production was not greatly damaged - even Qinzhou, where the armies of the Khitan, Shi Jin and Meng Shu did not invade, but at that time, the situation was critical, and the men in the entire region who could fight were driven to the battlefield, and those who could not fight had to undertake the duties of transporting military rations, guarding and guarding against thieves, etc., and missed the agricultural time, but for the lowest-level peasants, this year will not be too sad year, because Zhang Mai ordered a large-scale tax exemption policy for the ten prefectures of Qinxi, not only tax exemption, and in the form of redemption, all landlords were ordered to reduce rent.

Under this policy, yeoman farmers naturally received the benefit of complete tax exemption during the year, and tenants could pay only one-tenth of the land to the landlords, and the difference was made up by bonds issued by the Tiance regime, with which the landlords could go to the county government to claim back the money and grain after three years.

In order to ensure the implementation of the policy, Yang Dingguo asked the storyteller team and the correction station to be responsible for the designated point to go deep into each township to carry out propaganda, so that the vast majority of the peasants knew the news and were not deceived by the squire. In the past, during the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, even if the imperial court exempted the field tax, it would be a drop in the bucket for the lower peasants - because the biggest burden on the peasants was not the field tax, but the various exploitations of the gentry group.

In ancient times, there were many forms of "hidden fields" and "hidden households", and these acres of land that were not reported in the yamen were not subject to tax, but the squire's own taxes were hidden from the imperial court, and the tenants' land rents could not escape, but now even the field rents are compulsorily reduced. Then even the poorest families can survive the disaster year after this GI.

As soon as this policy was promulgated, the voices of praise in the entire Qinxi region were immediately heard, and the peasants at the lowest level who got the greatest benefits were naturally the lowest, and although the landlords' short-term interests were damaged, they did not dare to openly resist under the accumulated authority of the Tiance Tang army. What's more, the Yamen repaid the bonds—although most of the squires in western Qin were still skeptical about whether the bonds could be cashed in three years—but at least the court was not exploited without compensation, and some of the more politically far-sighted squires even burned them in public after receiving the bonds, expressing their willingness to spend the difficult times with the Tiance court. And the people at the bottom with the largest number felt that they had met the Ming Lord, and they broke out an unprecedented popular spirit.

"We've met a good man!" I don't know how many peasant fathers and elders are grateful after hearing the news, Zhang Mai wants to say what national righteousness, these people may not understand, but Zhang Mai exempted the field tax, not to mention, even the majority of the land rent also helped them pay, this is the real benefit, even if the farmers are illiterate. I also know how to calculate this account!

The storyteller made it clear: calculate the land rent he should pay clearly, and then when correcting the imperial history of the countryside bonds. Report the amount, and the imperial historian will help him calculate the amount, and then give him a bond, and when the landlord collects the rent, he only needs to pay one-tenth of the grain produced by the field, and the rest can be offset with this bond. If the landlord dares not to accept it, he will directly turn around and go to the county correction and evaluation platform!

According to Guo Wei's statement: "At this time, if we have enough food, as long as the marshal gives an order, Qinzhou, which has the best implementation of this policy, can be all soldiers!" ”

It is not necessary for all farmers to be soldiers, in the past few months. Zhang Mai even pulled the new formation of his newly trained Modao Battle Axe to cultivate the land. However, from Guo Wei's words, you can imagine what kind of situation Qin Xi's people's hearts are. The Tiance regime issued a batch of bonds and took on a deferred debt, but it bought the hearts and minds of the entire Qinxi - even many scholars from the Central Plains, such as Wang Pu, who remained in Qinzhou, admired Zhang Mai even more.

Of course, in the implementation of this policy, not all of them are positive news, the kind of high-IQ squires who will resolutely burn the bonds are after all a minority, and there are still a considerable number of squires and landlords who are calculating how to benefit from this policy -- the most common method is to encourage their own households to boast about the amount, and the conservative ones will raise two or three percent, and the bold ones will dare to report seven or eight times!

People's hearts are profit-seeking, the bottom farmers because of this policy is directly beneficial to themselves, the high-end squires are calculating to use this rent reduction and tax exemption to seek political interests, and those local tyrants and inferior gentry feel that they can profit from it, and it is the three aspects that feel that the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages, so this policy can be implemented very smoothly.

But when all the bonds in Qin Xi were gathered in the center, Wei Renpu's eyes were splitting when he saw that huge amount, and he almost vomited blood! That's four times the amount of Tian Fu in Qin Xi in previous years!

"These local tyrants and evil gentry who should be killed!" Wei Renpu said: "Li Congke's pseudo-Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao's Jin court, the field tax is not low, and these gentry collect four times the land rent of the imperial court?" This is still not a homesteader! With such heavy pressure, I really don't know how the people live! ”

"There are other possibilities," Zheng Wei started out in business, not as angry as Wei Renpu, but his brain is more flexible: "Maybe someone deliberately exaggerated their land rent, but it is also possible." After all, it's not the first time we've had this bond, and the bonds that went out in previous years, as long as they mature, even if they sell the mine, they will definitely try to repay it, and the credit is very strong! Therefore, as long as you are well-informed, you will know that the bonds that our Tiance Tang Army went out of, although it is a piece of paper, it is real money. ”

Wei Renpu is also a delicate and clear person, and he understood it in a blink of an eye, and snorted: "Then these people should be killed!" ”

On the side, Yang Dingguo was also angry in his heart, and forced his anger and said: "Although this money is not small, after three years, it is expected that we will be able to afford it." Now it is still important to focus on the overall situation of Yanyun Mobei, for the sake of the current stability, let these inferior gentry knock a stroke! ”

Zheng Wei smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we must focus on the overall situation." Don't be idle for these senseless things. ”

Yang Dingguo's statement Wei Renpu also agreed, but he was angry in his heart, but his reaction to Zheng Wei was a little strange, because Zheng Wei not only didn't look angry at all after seeing this number. There was even a hint of a playful smile in his eyes, and Wei Renpu couldn't help but ask, "Zheng Xiang, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”

Zheng Wei smiled: "There's nothing to deal with, when the time comes, they come to ask for money, let's just pay them the money." But how much money was given. This number must be well recorded, and we will not suffer a loss in this business. ”

"Don't suffer?"

"Of course not." Zheng Wei said with a smile: "Farmers have to receive the land rent reported by the bonds, not only to report how much rent they have to pay over the years, but also to report the proportion of land rent paid per mu of land. ”

Wei Renpu said: "So what? ”

Zhang Mai, who had been listening to the audit, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, although Wei Renpu is also a wise person, his mind is clumsy after all, unlike Zheng Wei, who was born as a businessman, who eats people and does not spit out bones.

Zheng Wei said: "According to the number and proportion handed in by the farmers. We can reverse how many fields the owner has. ”

Wei Renpu said: "That's like ......"

This time, he didn't say the word "He" after all, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I see!" I see! He looked at Zheng Wei, there was a little more awe in his eyes, and said, "Zheng Xiang is so calculating!" ”

Zheng Wei said with a smile: "It's not a calculation, I didn't deliberately set up a situation like this at the beginning, but after the situation stabilizes, it is imperative to further investigate the hidden fields and hidden households." Those who boast are blinded by a greedy word and only look at the present. But I don't know that I dug a hole for myself. ”

――――――――――

For these internal affairs, Zhang Mai did not intervene too much, but waited for the matter to come to an end before he said: "I want to go to northern Jinbei, how are you prepared?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "You must go?" Although Qin Xi has settled down now, this is a situation where you are in charge. If you leave, I'm afraid something will go wrong. ”

"What a mess can go!" Zhang Mai said: "Meng Shu is scared by us, we don't go to trouble them, they have already burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and they don't have the courage to commit crimes in the north!" Liu Zhiyuan's side. I asked Guo Wei, and he was confident that he could keep the eastern front safe. As for the interior of Qinxi, if you look at the current morale in Qinxi, you will know why I dare to leave, as long as we have frequent good news on the front, there will be nothing in the rear! ”

He paused, and then said: "In addition, Guo Wei also gave me an idea, when I go north, by the way, I will also bring the local heroes who are not very honest to Elechuan to make meritorious contributions." ”

Zheng Wei's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If you come to such a move, it will be of great help to us in governing Qinxi." But don't make too much of a fuss when you go, what I told you is still valid: within two years, Ganlong's side will not have the strength to support the big war. ”

Zhang Mai said: "The people I brought this time, the core is the ten battalions of the new formation of Modao and battle axes, Yang Guangyuan will send 2,000 light cavalry to accompany him, and then draw five battalions of cavalry from Hehuang, Jianbei and Qinxi, five battalions of Han infantry, plus ten battalions of long-range shooting teams, and another 1,000 auxiliaries, a total of 12,000 people, the route is to go north to the Yellow River, and when I get to the Yellow River, I will order to cut down wood for rafts, and then go down the river to the Elechuan to replenish on the spot." So you don't have to worry about what the burden will be. ”

――――――――――

When Zhang Mai was planning to go north, Yang Yi had already received the news from the rear of Luntai after the road thawed, and the stability of the Ganlong area made Yang Yi feel a lot more at ease, Yang Hua did not rush to the bank of the Yuju River before the army came out, but this did not hinder Yang Yi's actions, from the beginning of the decision to surprise attack Mobei, Yang Yi left all his personal affairs behind.

He reorganized his troops and horses, with the Yingyang Army as the middle army, the Longxiang Army as the rear army, and the Mobei tribes as the coercion, when the army was opened, he ordered the three forward teams in front - Yelu'an's Ghost Face Army, Guo Zhang's Right Arrow Battalion, and Wei Fei's Left Arrow Battalion to fight!

Last winter, the tribes of Mobei continued to escape from the mountains and accept the reorganization of the Tiance Tang Army, and at this time, the number of the three forwards had already exceeded 10,000 cavalry -- the number of the subordinate tribes had far exceeded the number of the troops in their own troops.

The ghost-faced army led by Yelu'an was the first to break into the Huangshui Valley.

――――――――

The Huangshui Basin is in present-day Inner Mongolia, and since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it has been an important settlement of the Khitan people. The Huangshui River Basin is bordered by the desert in the north and Donghu in the east, which determines that the Khitan people have the national characteristics of both the desert north and the Donghu, and this place is connected to Yanyun in the south, so it is susceptible to the influence of the Han land.

Although the Khitan are nomadic people. However, after Yelu Abaoji opened the country, he established the capital in this area, called the "imperial capital", and accepted the influence of Han culture, built palaces and ancestral temples, and was in the imperial capital. The construction of Confucian temples, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and the establishment of the imperial capital are mostly from the hands of Hanchen Kang Moji, and the irrigation of farmland outside the city is mostly related to Han Yanhui. Later, Yelu Deguang changed the imperial capital to Shangjing, which was the capital of Khitan.

Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan people have long been deeply rooted in this area, and Yelu Abaoji established a country here. Now, almost 40 years have passed! In the past 40 years, Abaoji has conquered the east and west, and has collected a large amount of plundered wealth here, especially several times to the south to plunder a large number of Han people, he listened to the advice of Erhan Yikang (Han Zhigu Han Yanhui Kang Mo Ji) to rule the Han with Han, let them engage in the best farming, after decades of development, the Huangshui basin into a plugged fertile soil. There are more than 40,000 Han households alone, and there are herds of cattle and sheep. The fertile fields are endless.

But this qiē is a thing of the past, at the end of last year, the Ghost Face Army broke into the Huangshui Valley, burning, killing, looting, raping, raping, and plundering, almost doing everything, Yelu Anjun himself is a Khitan. Familiar with the geography of the Huangshui Basin, the attack is the soft underbelly of this area, coming and going like the wind, the soldiers do not stay, a fire destroyed tens of thousands of acres of farmland. Burning down hundreds of ranches run by the Khitans and turning a rich Huangshui basin to ashes, Yerod was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot when he saw the aftermath of the catastrophe last year.

――――――――――

The spring and summer in Mobei came late, but now the spring is coming to an end, and when the Ghost Face Army sets foot on the Huangshui Basin, the road is still a miserable scene!

Last winter, I don't know how many old and weak people in this area were frozen to death and starved to death, and under the threat of the Tang army, in the bitter cold, their bodies did not even have time to be properly buried, and the ground was covered with half ice, snow and half mud.

Now that the ice and snow have melted, the wild dogs have dragged some corpses out, and the ghost face army will continue to see broken limbs and broken legs all the way south, all the way south is desolate all the way, all the way sad.

It was also winter, Shi Jingjiao was drunk and dreamed of death in Luoyang, because he lost hope at that time; Zhang Mai is working hard in Qinxi, because he still has a lot of future; And Yelu Deguang's side is to let Linhuang Mansion be barren, let Linhuang Mansion be cold, and let Linhuang Mansion continue to be a hell on earth.

Yelu Deguang didn't want to restore this qiē here, but he knew that he couldn't restore it, not to mention that everyone knew that once the cold winter passed, Yang Yi could go south at any time, and at that time, Linhuang Mansion would definitely become the final decisive battlefield, in that case, what effort did it take?

After passing the Trailing Mountain, there is no natural danger in the Huangshui Basin.

Yelu Deguang didn't arrange any deterrence along the way, so he let the ghost-faced army break into the capital!

It's extremely weird, all the way from the gap between the mountain and the Yong'an Mountain, Yelu Anjun didn't even see anyone!

Before Yelu'an came out, he promised his subordinates to let him plunder, but when he arrived here, he could not plunder, and there was nothing to plunder.

Last winter, he burned everything he could burn, and he took everything he could take away, but after all, the Huangshui basin was not small, and Yelu'an only had half a month's time, after all, there were still a lot of things left behind -- especially Shangjing, which had not been touched.

But now, the entire Huangshui Basin is a blank sheet of paper except for Shangjing! Yelu Deguang ruined everything that Yeluan didn't have time to destroy!

Is this really hell?

Even if the Khitan people want to clear the wilderness, they are too clean.

So Yelu'an walked all the way, without encountering any resistance, but the more he walked, the more panicked he became!

The troops drove until they went up and down the capital, and then they saw the Khitan capital that he was familiar with and unfamiliar with!

When it is said to be familiar, it is because Yelu'an grew up in Si, and it is said to be unfamiliar, because the entire terrain of this capital has changed! The irrigation ditches that were originally dozens of vertical and horizontal ditches were all filled in with potholes, and everything that could support the enemy was destroyed, even the trees that might be used as siege equipment were destroyed!

How determined was Jerod to do such a thing!

Just seeing this qiē, Yelu Anjun knew that his old master, the current enemy, had made the determination to fight against the water!

――――――――――

After all, the Khitan is the Khitan, even if it is the most depressed, it will still not be a coward trapped in the city.

Seeing the Ghost Face Army approaching, the gate of Shangjing City opened, and a cavalry drove out.

The cavalry was not very numerous, only two thousand people. With a wave of his hand, the six thousand cavalry of the tribe attached to him rushed through the two wings, forming a crescent moon shape, forming a semi-encircled shape against the two thousand cavalry who came out of the city.

If this cavalry did not retreat into the city, it would fall into the encirclement, but once he retreated. The ghost-faced army can block the city gate, Yelu Anjun has already made up his mind, as long as the city gate is sealed, he will not be nervous, he can wait for Guo Zhang and Wei Fei to arrive and then besiege the city, it is best to wait until Yang Yi's army arrives and make an end to the Khitan.

Last year, I killed all the way, and the loyalty of the table was expressed, and the credit of the table was established, of course. It is not excluded that what he saw and heard along the way made him feel a little panic in the depths of his heart - these scenes made Yelu An feel that Yelu Deguang really planned to fight to the death!

The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention a great country that once swallowed thousands of miles, and a powerful clan that once commanded China! Such an enemy's dying blow is terrifying, even if Yang Yi can't be repulsed, at least one or two famous generals will not be difficult to drag into hell!

――――――――――

It was about to fall into the encirclement, but the cavalry still did not retreat. Instead, they chose to continue their march towards the depths of the encirclement, and their horses did not go very fast. It wasn't even a horse run, but a slow walk, and finally the two wings of the Ghost Face Army changed from stretching to closing, and this Khitan cavalry was encircled!

At this moment, all the Khitan cavalry suddenly stopped - they were not moving fast, so they stopped naturally.

Then everyone dismounts together. Only one of the generals was left sitting firmly on his horse, and he came out and shouted: "Old man Yelupode, who is coming, report the name!" ”

Yelu'an's heart sank, he knew that Yelupode was a Khitan general. Hu Mingwu ancient neighbor, as early as the Yelu Abaoji period became the leather room army Zuo Shenwen, won the trust of Abaoji, Yelu Deguang after the succession to the throne of him also very respectful, this time the Khitan south invasion of Ganlong, is to leave him to guard Shangjing - although no one thought that Shangjing would be attacked at that time, but can become the lair of the stay, Yelu Pode's qualifications and prestige can be imagined.

Yeluan waved his hand, and the two wings, which were already ready to attack, stopped under the order, and the attack did not take place immediately, but the siege continued.

Yeluan urged his horse to the front of the formation, and when he reached the distance where he could hear each other when he spoke loudly, and there were two shields guarding him on both sides to prevent cold arrows, Yeluan shouted: "Good general Wugulin! ”

Although Yelu Pode is old, his eyes are very good, and he also saw Yelu'an's ruined face from afar, and exclaimed: "Anlu, it's you!" Then he cried out in grief, "Sure enough, it's you!" Are you the leader of this Ghost-Faced Army? ”

Yeluan said, "Yes! ”

Jerupod screamed, "Good, good! I didn't expect that the one who killed me the most ruthlessly in the Khitan was not a Han Chinese, but also a Khitan! ”

Yelu'an said: "Last winter, I rode into the Huang Mansion, because I heard that the general of the Wugulin was in the imperial capital, so I did not invade, but last year's good luck will not land in Shangjing for the second time. I can, as long as you follow me to the banner of Yingyang, there will be a place for generals in the Tiance Datang Army! ”

Jerupode laughed bitterly, then screamed and said loudly: "No violation? Don't you dare to come! That's it, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm out of the city today to pass you a message! ”

"What?"

"The sweat and blood cavalry regiment will not come, His Majesty bought Shi Jingjiao to attack Tiance at the cost of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and now their Han people are killing each other, and the Yingyang Army has now become a lone army."

Yelu'an listened to this and his heart sank, it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false for a while, the two armies faced the enemy, and it was common to make up lies to hit the morale of the other party, but Yelupode's sentence "At the cost of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, buy Shi Jingjiao to attack Tiance" is too convincing, Yelu'an is a wise general of the Khitan generation, who knows the affairs of the Hu and Han dynasties, and thinks that the possibility of Shi Jingjiao and Zhang Mai in the same room for this is really not small, so it is not clear whether this is true or false.

Yelupode said again: "This Linhuang Mansion, you destroyed half of it last year, and at the beginning of this year, Your Majesty ordered the destruction of the other half, do you know why?" ”

"Do you want to clear the wilderness?"

"Kiyono Fortified?" Yelupode sneered: "That's a Han thing!" His Majesty completely destroyed Linhuang Mansion and let it be buried by Yang Yi! The eagle spread its wings and swept across Mobei, Yang Yi is an unborn famous general among the Han people, he deserves this funeral! That's all I have to say, as for whether you can bring this sentence to Yang Yi alive, it depends on your luck! ”

After he said this, he didn't advance, but retreated in reverse, and the Khitan cavalry behind him suddenly got on their horses, and then they killed them like a tide! (To be continued......)
