Chapter 399: Mobei
On the first day of the third year of Zhaode (550), Gao Cheng led his brothers, sons and nephews to worship Gao Huan Temple in Pishan.
To a certain extent, Gao Cheng, the Son of Heaven, can be called stingy, whether it is ascending the throne or such a happy day as Yuan Ri, there has never been an amnesty for the world.
In his opinion, if a criminal who has violated the criminal law and has been sentenced in strict accordance with the "Taichang Law" and the newly released "Qi Law" is easily pardoned, it will be unfair to the victim.
Therefore, although there are heinous regulations in the law, at least under Gao Cheng's rule, it is just a dead letter, whether it is ten evils or not, he will not forgive it, so he will honestly serve his sentence and return to society.
Of course, during this period, Gao Cheng ordered Lu Cao, the new casual cavalry attendant, to concurrently serve as the waiter of the Criminal Department, responsible for reading the files and verifying the unjust, false and wrong.
Lu Cao also lived up to Gao Cheng's trust, and really asked him to search for many eucalyptus with unclear evidence in the file, for the officials who judged the wrong eucalyptus, they should be punished, and those who should be degraded should be degraded, and those who prove that they are indeed innocent and wronged will not only be returned to their homes, but also receive a state compensation, and the officials will be fined and compensated.
Gao Cheng strikes hard at criminals, and he can be described as considerate of the good people.
The turtle once said that keeping the peasants half-dead is the secret of politics.
Gao Cheng disagrees with this, as a modern person, he has been educated to yearn for and pursue a better life, which is the right that he is born with.
Crossing the son of a powerful minister, but tossing the people and making them half-dead as a political secret, it is too cheap.
'Father, see, I will do something great, not only to make the world rich, but also to enrich the lives of those who work hard. ’
Gao Cheng looked at the portrait of Gao Huan copied by the painter in the temple courtyard, and secretly made up his mind.
Gao Xiaoqian didn't know the grand ambition in Gao Cheng's heart, he was still thinking that now that he was about to turn eight years old, according to the previous agreement with his father, he could start practicing riding and archery.
When driving down the mountain, Gao Xiaoqian couldn't wait to come to Gao Cheng and mentioned that he was learning to ride and shoot.
Gao Cheng didn't admit it, but asked him to ask Dou Tai for advice.
Gao Cheng had already considered this candidate, although Dou Tai was influential in the army, he gradually came out of the front line ten years ago.
Although there is a position in the waiter, but during Gao Cheng's stay in Luo, the waiter is destined to be an ornament, and it cannot really play a role in reviewing the decree, and there is time to teach.
Of course, it is more than enough to teach an eight-year-old child with Dou Taizhi's ability.
Just when Gao Xiaoqian was elated about this, Gao Cheng arranged for him to watch politics and study with his three brothers.
Gao Xiaoqian immediately had a bitter face, and he had to learn to deal with government affairs, and he had to practice riding and archery, and he couldn't relax in his studies, and he was destined to have an extraordinarily fulfilling childhood.
Gao Xiaozhang and the others couldn't help laughing, speaking of which, with this fourth brother, the three of them really have a bit of brotherly feelings.
After all, a brother who is not a threat is a good brother.
At the same time, the situation in the land of Mobei has reached the most urgent time for the Turks.
Previously, Ashina Tumen proposed to Yu Rouran, but was humiliated by Anapu's envoy, and killed the Rouran envoy in anger and broke with him openly.
After sending his daughter south to marry Gao Cheng, he was cut off by Gao Cheng because he courted Gao Cheng's daughter.
For Ashina Tumen, if the war with Rouran is prolonged, the Northern Qi will inevitably send troops to intervene, so that there is no way to start and wait for the opportunity to kill Rouran with one blow.
However, the fighter plane was so easy to find, and Ashina Tumen sent an envoy to Rouran, bluntly saying that he would go east and go to the Rouran royal court to apologize for the previous killing of the envoy.
But he was rejected by Anapu, who knew very well that once the Turks were allowed to go east, it would not be Ashina Tumen alone, but the soldiers of the Shan clan.
Nine years ago, he lost his troops and was about to destroy Gaoche, but the biggest profit was the Turks who annexed more than 60,000 accounts of Gaoche State, so that Ashina Tumen rose in Jinshan, Anapu was angry when he thought of this, which is also the reason why he was annoyed and sent an envoy to reprimand Ashina Tumen before.
Gao Che lost the country, for Rouran and the Turks, their strength fell and rose, which also objectively prevented Anapu from using troops against the emerging Turkic regime, but fortunately, he had a good son-in-law, and now he was going to call his grandson-in-law.
When Anapu heard that Gao Cheng had repented of his marriage with the Turks and expelled the Turkic envoys, he was even more overjoyed.
Ashina Tumen delayed sending troops in order to wait for the fighters, and Anapu was also looking forward to Gao Cheng withdrawing from the war in the south and attacking the Turks with him.
Gao Cheng returned to Luoyang on October 27 last year, but Luoyang was far away from the Rouran royal court, and Anapu did not learn the specific news until today, and immediately sent an envoy south to discuss with the Northern Qi about the attack on the Turks.
Ashina Tumen heard the rumors, and knew that the time left for himself was not long, the envoy went back and forth, about four or five months, he must be before the Northern Qi officially sent troops, and Anapu won a decisive victory, the winner will have the hegemony of the entire Mobei, and the loser is doomed to die.
Even the steppe nomads have to make full pre-war preparations, and Ashina Tumen even secretly issued an order for the mobilization of the whole clan, and when things have developed to this point, there is no need to retain strength, success or failure is just a hammer deal.
Install the latest version. 】
Correspondingly, Anapu thinks that he has the Northern Qi as his support, and in terms of mentality, he wants to go far from the ruined Ashina Tumen, let alone prepare for the war.
Hey! Rouran joined forces with Northern Qi to fight a small Turk, how to lose.
When the Rouran envoy came to Luoyang and proposed to Gao Cheng to jointly attack the Turks, Gao Cheng, a good in-law in Anapu's eyes, hesitated.
In Gao Cheng's wishful thinking, it was only when Rouran and the Turks were defeated that he could sit in the land of the fisherman and reap rich rewards at a very small price.
As for the labor division to mobilize troops to Mobei and fight a vicious war with the Turks, Gao Cheng was unwilling to do so in his heart, perhaps in his opinion, if he took advantage of the less, it would be a loss.
On March 18, the third year of Zhaode (550), when the Rouran envoy was still in Luoyang and Gaocheng soft grinding hard bubbles, the Turks mobilized more than 100,000 Ding Zhuang of the whole clan and went straight to the court of Rouran.
The reason why Gao Cheng had the leisure to play Tai Chi with the Rouran envoy was because his memory told him that the Turks were sending troops in the first month of 551 AD, but he never thought that his series of operations had stimulated Ashina Tumen, making him unwilling to wait for the Northern Qi to recover from the southern expedition.
Two major battles have been fought for two consecutive years, even if there are many gains in the battle of Huainan, but there is obviously no such good thing in the capture of the Jianghan Plain, whether it is to give rewards to the soldiers, or to pay the people, the treasury of the Northern Qi Dynasty must be more out and less in, and the previous war has also affected the grain harvest in the Jianghan Plain, and many people are waiting for the state to be fed.
