Chapter 269: A stab at the world
He took the party as the center to gather the remnants of Wang Shichong's forces, and half a month later, he went north and fought a decisive battle with the 180,000 main forces of the Eastern Turks under the city of Yuci.
In the field battle, Ye Chen personally killed the great Turkic master - Wuzun Bi Xuan, chiseled through the Turkic Chinese army, cut off the arm of the Eastern Turk Khan, defeated the Eastern Turkic army, pursued all the way, won eighteen battles in a row, and finally caught up at the Yanmen Pass. He blocked the pass alone to block the retreat of the Turkic army, surrounded by more than 100,000 troops, annihilated the Turkic coalition army at the Yanmen Pass, and beheaded the Eastern Turkic Khan, shocking the world.
On the other side of the battlefield, Zhang Ling led an army of 250,000 to the north, divided his troops into two routes, and all the way the 50,000 troops were stationed in the west to guard the Dasan Pass to block Tuyuhun and other Western Regions coalition forces.
The other went north, slowly advancing, steady and steady, and launched an offensive and defensive battle with the Eastern Turkic coalition army near Zheshu City, Ye Chen completely annihilated the Eastern Turks and then made a detour to the Hetao area, when the two sides fought for half a month, each with a victory or defeat.
When he led an army of 30,000 to cross the Yellow River from Mengmen, cross the Wuding River, and appear from behind the Western Turks, the Western Turks were shocked, and Zhang Ling took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the two armies flanked and defeated the Western Turkic coalition army.
The next is to chase all the way, until the Yumen Pass captured Dunhuang City before stopping, the Western Turkic army of more than 200,000 killed and wounded more than half, the remaining rout of less than 70,000 escaped from the Yumen Pass, scattered into the long desert.
Then Ye Chen sent troops to Dunhuang as the center, sent troops to encircle and suppress all the alien Hu people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, with the fall of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have been separated from the Han rule for hundreds of years, and now there are Hu people everywhere, and the Han people are living a difficult life, he has recovered this place, and it is inevitable to eliminate the Hu people, especially those unruly Hu people, all extinct.
He had already planned that he would establish a large administrative region in Dunhuang, not the kind of capital protectorate of the Han Dynasty, but to rebuild Liangzhou, and put the Western Regions under the direct rule of Da Kun, so as to radiate the entire Western Regions as the central force, slowly migrate some Han people, and slowly assimilate the local Hu people.
He doesn't think he has time to see this, this is just a plan, it's hard to say when it will be realized, and if future generations don't give their strength, they may not be realized.
Leaving 50,000 troops to guard Dunhuang, Ye Chen led the remaining soldiers and horses back to Beijing, when Xu Shiji arrived in Luoyang, Wang Shichong's forces had been completely cleared, and Dou Jiande officially surrendered.
However, it didn't take long for another thing to happen that surprised him, Song Que, the lord of the Song valve, sent his younger brother Song Zhi, the earth sword, as an envoy to Luoyang, willing to belong to the Dakun Dynasty, and asked to marry the second daughter Song Yuzhi into the palace as a concubine.
Ye Chen responded very simply, not to mention that there was a beauty sent to the door, and the Song valve was attached, which means that the world has been unified.
Although the remaining Yuwen valve is quite strong, compared to Da Kun's current strength, it is no longer at the same level, not to mention Li Yuan in Anshu, the threat is even smaller, and some other small forces are only afraid that the army will fall as soon as it arrives.
In the middle of June of the first year of Dakun Shenwu, the general of Zhengnan Dugu led an army of 300,000 to the south and broke through Jinling City in one fell swoop.
In late June of the first year of Dakun Shenwu, Song Shidao led an army of 100,000 Song lords up the Yangtze River, and an army of 70,000 led by Wang Xuan entered Shu from Jianmen Pass, attacked Chengdu, and completely destroyed Li Yuan's forces.
After the city was broken, Wang Xuan captured Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning and sent it to Luoyang to dedicate it to the emperor.
Although he likes beautiful women, he is not really absurd in the end, what beauties can be wanted and what beauties can't be distinguished, Li Yuan's family all died in his hands, and Li Xiuning was put into the harem, and he was afraid that he would be restless in the future.
In fact, even Fan Qinghui would have thought about killing her directly if it weren't for the task, even now he has to guard against her, unlike Wanwan who can hold power, even Dugufeng can lead the army to the battle, and she will go with the army in the first battle of Jinling, she Fan Qinghui can't have a little power, she can only stay in the harem honestly and be a canary.
Pinching the handle of Cihang Jingzhai, she can only comply.
Unifying the world, Ye Chen began to implement his own plan, and began to drastically weaken the powerful clans in various places, and suppressed those who should be suppressed, even if it was Dugu Valve and Song Valve, he was no exception.
Of course, these two families are in a special situation, and he can't go too far not only for the sake of the two families supporting him, but also for the sake of Dugufeng and Song Yuzhi.
For these two families, first of all, the military power must be taken away, this is not negotiable, and then the land must be re-measured, and it will not be taken away like other big clans, but the land that has been hidden in the private area must be spit out, and the private land of the two families alone has more than 100,000 mu on the surface, and it is estimated that there are only a lot more than those who have not registered in private, and all these private treasures must be handed over.
Ye Chen has done all these Yang Jian and Yang Guang, but unfortunately they don't have enough strength to suppress those big landlords and nobles, and he is different, any time the founding king of a dynasty is the most authoritative, he is even more powerful, invincible in the world, and after a change of dynasty, the most powerful and ambitious gate valves have been destroyed, and the remaining strength has been greatly damaged, and it is no longer able to compete with him, so this land policy can be slowly implemented.
He is not exactly the same as the future generations, and he can't copy the future generations, but just gives ordinary civilians more opportunities and makes ordinary civilians live better.
In this era, the requirements of the common people are really low, as long as they can survive, no one will be full of food and support to rebel, and when they rebel, they will not be able to survive.
In addition to land reform, Ye Chen's second major policy is the problem of official corruption, which is even more difficult than the previous one, and it is difficult to eradicate it.
Ye Chen is not a god and can't think of a way to cure it, he can only find a way to strangle it.
He thought of a simple way, that is, to decentralize power and establish a sound supervision mechanism, for example, a county, the county order is in charge of the administrative work of a county, but no longer has the power to try cases, the investigation and trial will be handed over to the county officer, the criminal department is directly managed, the county soldiers and the township militia in various places have the county lieutenant management, the military department is directly managed, these three official county officers and county lieutenants are the same level, the county order is half a level higher, but there is no command jurisdiction, independent of each other.
In addition, each level of the local government also has a supervision of the imperial history to supervise the localities, and the supervision of the imperial history is independent of the locality, and no one has the right to command, but is only responsible to the emperor.
In order to better strengthen the centralized rule, Ye Chen enabled the Jinyi Wei department, which was similar in size to the Ming Dynasty, and was divided into four major towns, southeast, northwest and northwest, with different functions and powers, such as supervision, arrest, interrogation, collection of military intelligence, and counter-enemy generals. The leader is still called the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the female official who is close to the emperor in the palace is responsible directly to the emperor.
