In the past six months, there have been frequent big moves in the new summer, and the relocation of the capital has had a far-reaching impact, attracting the attention of the pan-continent. Princess Hanyue often sent letters to ask for warmth, Feng Miaojun understood that this was due to Miao Fengxian's instructions.

The Wei delegation had already returned to the capital, and Xiao Yan ordered the border trade to be opened to Puling. Since then, the country has served as a veritable transit point for inter-state trade.

Yun Jie didn't hear from him, Feng Miaojun didn't know what he was doing, and he would occasionally think about it when he was busy.

At this time, the battle report of Nanlu came again:

In the Battle of Yanxi, as the river slowed down in the summer, the army of Yan finally crossed the damn river. However, they were stranded on the east coast for more than two months, and the army had to eat and drink, and they were harassed by the Xiguo army, and the combat strength and morale of the Yan army were a little low.

On top of that, Xi was given a respite, and Wei reinforcements arrived in time.

Therefore, before the Yan army crossed the river, it encountered a head-on attack from the Xi-Wei coalition army, and the whole army was annihilated, and the famous general Shi Qing was killed on the spot.

This time, the Yan army's westward expedition, which lasted more than half a year, ended in failure.

During the celebration of the Xi Kingdom, the Wei army quietly withdrew to the mainland.

Due to the war, King Yan had no time to pay attention to Beilu for the time being, and did not make further moves against Xinxia's "treachery".

In the turmoil of the pan-continent, time quickly came to autumn.

The Red Plain is golden. In the past year, the wind and rain have been smooth, there have been no major disasters and epidemics, the national teachers have also reasonably distributed the yuan power, and the country is thriving, so the most important harvest season of the year has arrived.

This season's grain is up, and the country and the people are safe.

After the autumn grain was put into storage, the royal court, which had been running smoothly for more than a few months, had a new big move. The queen's order shook the government and the opposition:

Disarmament.

The Xinxia Hao clan was originally the most widely distributed and powerful in the west and northwest, just because it was the gateway to Xinxia and the frontline of the fight against Wei.

But after Xinxia signed an agreement with Wei, the status of the major military towns became very awkward. Since the two countries have not invaded and disturbed each other, there is no need for the western region to maintain a large-scale military structure.

This time, the royal court really took advantage of the reason, so he had to ignore the people, and took out a set of disarmament norms that had been planned a long time ago, including the state and county garrisons, down to the township garrisons, and the private armies raised by various wealthy families, and made extraordinarily detailed regulations on the number, armament, and rank.

Mo said that it was a local wealthy family, but when the ministers of the royal court took it in their hands, they were all in a cold sweat. If we continue to follow these regulations, the number of troops in the whole country will be reduced by at least one-third, and all food and salaries will be allocated by the central government, and the localities will no longer be the food and clothing parents of the army.

The army is like this, and they listen to whoever eats food.

Wang Ting's attitude is very clear: Who is qualified to support my army?

As soon as the military order was issued, the whole country was shaken, especially in the west.

Cutting the army = seizing power, this formula can be seen clearly by everyone. However, the biggest threat to Xinxia has gone, and there is indeed no reason for the western giants to maintain a large-scale standing army, otherwise there will be suspicion of rebellion.

Feeding the army is an extremely heavy burden on the finances of any country. Reducing the army is to reduce the burden, and the new summer can invest more financial resources in the national economy and people's livelihood.

In addition, when soldiers are disarmed and return to the field, a large number of laborers will be put into production, which is particularly important for the new summer when all industries are waiting to be developed. In the troubled times, both individuals and countries will instinctively seize the rare period of peace to develop rapidly and strengthen themselves.

Reduce burden, increase production, and win the support of the people. Everyone understands this truth, and it only depends on how the west reacts.

......

When the news reached the Wei State, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be amazed:

Fu Lingchuan's courage is really not small, and before he has a firm foothold, he dares to move these old subordinates who are doing things with him. ”

Fu Lingchuan was able to support Princess Changle to establish a country, and the support of these wealthy families was indispensable. If it weren't for their long-term resistance, Wei would not have given up its rule over the Anxia region after a long period of trade-off.

Now that Fu Lingchuan himself has just plumped his wings, he has begun to collect force from these old comrades-in-arms, is he too impatient?

Yun Jie was reading a book, and when he heard this, he said: "There are many dreams at night, if he waits any longer, when these wealthy families are fat and strong, he will not be able to uproot." ”

"In your opinion, how will these people deal with it?" Xiao Yan took a sip of tea, "In the past seven months of Xinxia, there have been many big and small movements, but the national situation is quite stable, which is really unexpected. ”

In other words, if any country dares to live in such a different way, the political situation will be turbulent and the people will be panicked, just like a pebble thrown into a pond, and the aftermath will not stop for a long time.

Xinxia started from scratch, and after such a toss, it became stronger and stronger, without labor pain, no centrifugal departure, and a steady stream of benefits.

His eyes were red, "Seeing that Xinxia is so pounding, even I want to make a change in the Wei State." ”

"Da Wei can't. Yun Jie sighed lightly, "Xinxia is just a blank piece of paper, which can be freely written by Fu Lingchuan; Wei Guoshi has been in the world for nearly two hundred years, and it has long been difficult to return, so he can only peel off the cocoon and slowly moisten it." ”

"As for the big families in the western part of New Xia. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "The tide is gone." ”

"Can they be willing to disarm and cut power?"

For Haoqiang, military power represents power, and cutting the army is to seize power. Can they honestly sit back and wait for the royal court to take away the military and political power?

"I have seen many new upstarts in Urssel, but more than 20% of the mansions were bought by wealthy families from all over the country, who opened restaurants and teahouses, golden mansions, and gambling houses in the national capital. Taking the opportunity to go to the central and southern parts of the country to get a piece of the pie is what smart people do. As for those who are stubborn and stick to their locals—" he snorted slightly, "if you don't hand over power, you will have to rebel." However, there is no chance for them to make a surplus in the current new summer. Wang Ting is too rich, Fu Lingchuan is too rich, and the Queen of New Xia is also ...... Too rich. ”

Since ancient times, if the monarch is strong, the minister is weak, and if the central government is strong, the local government is weak, and vice versa. Therefore, the strength of the central royal court in Xinxia is bound to suppress the local tyrants and wilt. But no one could have imagined that this day would come so quickly.

"Hey, Queen of New Summer?" Xiao Yan was full of curiosity, "This is also about your An An, oh I mean Queen Changle, what's the matter?"

"Xinxia has acted boldly in the past six months, and every time he makes a move, it has a thunderous effect, unlike Fu Lingchuan's usual style. Yun Jie scoffed at his clumsy acting skills, "Although the edict was issued by the queen, he controlled the government, so everyone who received information would think that all this was his layout." It's not just us, but also the Yan King who is far away in the southern continent. ”
