The Northern Han Dynasty was sparsely populated, there was not much grain production and taxes, and it was so poor that even the officials could not pay it.

In desperation, in addition to looting the people, he can only find a way from the coins.

Liu Min had lead mixed with the official silver to increase the weight and exploit the soldiers and officials, much to the displeasure of the Northern Han military ministers.

That's why we have this conversation.

Liu Min saw that the general trend had gone, so he had no choice but to ask Guo Wuwei, the secretary of Tongping Zhang, to go out of the city and surrender.

From the Northern Han Dynasty sending troops to attack Yanmen Pass and Chenjiagu Pass, to Liu Min's surrender, it was only fifteen days. During this period, there was no decent war, and the Northern Han Dynasty, which had only been in a row for three years, perished.

After Baili Wuji entered Taiyuan City, Liu Min was detained, and the Northern Han officials were appeased, and Ding Sijin was officially appointed as the commander of the Fourth Army, and the entire Fourth Army was officially organized into cavalry and stationed around Taiyuan Mansion.

The mediation envoy of Emperor Yelujing of Liao only rushed to Taiyuan City at this time to meet him, and Baili Wuji was secretly happy in his heart, he had already sent a message to Yanyun and asked them to warmly entertain the envoy of Liao, but to delay his trip south.

Now that the Northern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, what else does this envoy have to say?

In desperation, the envoy proposed to take Liu Min and his son back to Shangjing to return to Emperor Liao.

This request was naturally accepted, and he didn't want to kill Liu Min's father and son, and it would be a disaster to stay in the Ming Kingdom, so he agreed to the envoy.

At the same time, Baili Wuji raised a protest from the Ming State to the envoy and asked him to convey it to the Liao court.

The vassal state of Liao ignored the peace treaty and attacked the land of Yanyun of the Ming State without authorization, and the Ming State reserved the right to hold the Liao State accountable.

Since then. The ministers of the Ming State and the Liao State quarreled over this for five years, and the envoys came and went again and again, and there were wars of words. It's always ...... be over.

Liao Emperor Yelujing never wanted to stand up for the Northern Han Dynasty, and even sent mediation envoys because of the repeated letters of the ministers of the court and the central government, in Yelujing's heart, he kept one acre and three points of land in Liao, and then drank and slept in Shangjing with peace of mind, and killed people casually when he was bored, this day is the ...... the day he wants to live.

Ordered Taiyuan Mansion Yin Zhang Yuanhui to restore people's livelihood. Yang Ye ordered more than 40,000 former Northern Han soldiers to select 30,000 to form the Twelfth Army, and the rest were dismissed, and money was distributed to order them to go home to farm. The Twelfth Army was stationed in Shizhou to deter the Dingyan Army in the west.

At the same time, Baili Wuji decreed that the people would be exempted from paying taxes for three years and recuperate. Chen Yanzheng was ordered by Yanyun to mobilize 5 million catties of military rations to fill the Taiyuan official warehouse. for the purpose of stabilizing food prices.

This move really eased the livelihood of the poor people in the twelve states, and also made the military and civilians identify with Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji also ordered Zhang Yuanhui to gather the war horses of the twelve states and assemble to the north.

On the fifth day of the ninth month, Baili Wuji returned to Yanyun in the north, and now Yanyun war horses gathered, Baili Wuji ordered Chen Yanzheng to select a thousand good horsemen in his Ninth Army to train the 50,000 recruits, and with these 50,000 cavalry and the Ninth Army to guard Yanyun. Hundreds of miles of ignorance can be relieved to return south.

On the eighth day of September, Emperor Ming led the fleet south to return to Jinling. Since March 18, the three-way army went north, and now the Ming Emperor returns to the south, which lasted six months, the Ming State recovered Yanyun, occupied Goryeo, and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and made great achievements.

Since then, the Ming country has a war horse, although the horse production area of the former set of Fugu is still named the Zhou State, but the war horse trade with Fugu has been close, and the original war horse of the Northern Han Dynasty has been able to meet the immediate needs of the Ming State.

With the war horse, the Ming State had the ability to resist the Liao, Dangxiang, Uighur and other immediate nationalities.

This was the end of the First Northern Expedition.

When he returned to Jinling Mansion, under the leadership of Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian, the civil and military officials of the Ming State and countless Jinling people, as well as the two queens and concubines of the Ming Kingdom, came to greet him.

When Baili Wuji walked out of the ship's cabin door, an overwhelming cry sounded.

"The Ming Kingdom is mighty."

"Emperor Ming is mighty."

……。

Baili Wuji was dizzy, and no one could experience this feeling, like a dream-like feeling. This moment made Baili Wuji deeply realize the pride of being a human king.

Baili Wuji slowly stretched out his hands and pressed down gently.

The crowd gradually calmed down.

Baili Wuji suddenly roared: "The Ming army is mighty, long live the Ming army." ”

The crowd was shocked and at a loss as to what to do.

Together with Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian, they were also blinded.

No one dared to answer, only Feng Dao smiled.

Raise your arms and shout, "The Ming army is mighty, long live the Ming army."

With Prime Minister Feng Cheng leading the way, the crowd immediately followed, and when the cry of "the Ming army is mighty, long live the Ming army" resounded through the dock, Baili Wuji quietly left.

Although the Northern Expedition has made great achievements, there are too many lessons to be learned.

30,000 Ming troops were completely annihilated, and this kind of pain may be in addition to a hundred miles of unscrupulous, only Bian Ho can understand.

And Liu Renzhen, as the commander of the capital, blindly led the army to the dangerous place, and did not retreat at the first time after the distress, although the sacrifice was heroic, but let Baili Wuji have to think deeply about the current combat method.

Liu Renzhen went deep alone with an army of 10,000, which is understandable, but he personally involved in danger, which was a loss.

If it is common sense, the 10,000 army is divided into three armies: front, middle and rear, even if the combat strength of the iron cavalry is too sharp, Liu Renzhen's rear army will have time and opportunity to get rid of the pursuit.

And it was precisely because Liu Renzhen believed that he was a famous general and confident that he was annihilated by the 8,000 Ming army.

And the same is true of Bian Hao, the whole army was annihilated, and the main general was killed, which was too much of a blow to the morale of the Ming army and even the people of the Ming Kingdom, and this kind of lesson must not happen again. Hundred miles of unscrupulous dark road.

But now that Liu Renzhen has passed away, Bian Ho is seriously injured, Baili Wuji can only praise, but not be held accountable, the Ming Kingdom needs victory, and the people need more encouragement, maybe the immortal achievements of recovering Yanyun, occupying Goryeo, and destroying the Northern Han Dynasty can hide all this.

Baili Wuji asked Xu Shiming about the current situation of Bian Hao.

Xu Shiming shook his head with a wry smile, it seemed that the situation was not good.

Baili Wuji didn't even return to the palace, and went directly to the border house in Jinling.

Seeing a drunken side pickaxe, Baili Wuji couldn't recognize him anymore.

Most of his face was covered by cheeks and long loose hair.

There is also a mouth full of wine and incomprehensible nonsense, which makes Baili Wuji disgusted.

Baili Wuji knew in his heart that this kind of ordeal would be unbearable for anyone, not to mention that Bian Hao was also burdened with the debts of Liu Renzhen and the 8,000 Ming army.

The demons do hurt, and importantly, they hurt the heart even more.

Baili Wuji asked people to call a bucket of cold water and poured it directly on Bian Hao.

Bian Hao was stunned, only to find that the emperor was in front of him.

hurriedly tossed and tried to get up and salute, only to find that he couldn't get up anymore, and fell down in despair in an instant.

Baili Wuji stepped forward and patted Bian Hao's shoulder and said, "You don't have to salute me, from now on, I will exempt you from saluting me." (To be continued......)
