Chapter 722, Hoh Xili

The reason why Qu Zha surrendered to the Ming Dynasty was because he felt that the Ming Dynasty was strong and would eventually become a powerful empire that shook the past and the present, so for the safety and well-being of his family, he chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. He just hoped to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but he never expected that the Ming Emperor would appoint himself as the prefect of Luo, which was greatly unexpected by him, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Qu Zha came back to his senses, and the heart that had been extinguished couldn't help but throb at this moment, who is willing to be poor, the reason why he is poor is just because he has no choice, Qu Zha is the same, a big opportunity is in front of him at this moment, how can he not be tempted? Qu Zha hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, I am willing to give it to Your Majesty for the rest of my life!" ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "Although it is not difficult to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy. You have a lot to learn. Qu Zha hurriedly said, "Please advise Your Majesty." ”

Yang Peng ordered the guards to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. The guard agreed, ran down, and quickly brought up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and set it up in front of Yang Peng. Yang Peng took a pen and wrote a letter, then took out the seal he was carrying and stamped it, and then handed the letter to Qu Zha. Qu Zha hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands and respectfully took it. Seeing this, some friends may be puzzled, isn't the Ming Dynasty now appointed by the cabinet and the emperor through consultation, how can Yang Peng appoint officials by himself without going through the cabinet? In fact, Yang Peng's practice did not violate the regulations, because Yanyun's law also stipulates that in the war zone, the supreme military commander has the power to temporarily appoint and dismiss local officials, which means that not only Yang Peng has this right, as long as he is the supreme commander in the war zone, he has this power. However, after the war, these appointments and dismissals had to be submitted to the cabinet for reconsideration, and only after the cabinet reconsidered could they be considered truly legal.

Yang Peng said: "This is a letter of appointment appointing you to be the prefect of Luo. You can go to Logic now with this letter of appointment. One of my concubines is sitting in Rally, you should have seen it. You go to her with this letter of appointment and she will arrange it for you. As for what you need to learn, just ask her. Qu Zha bowed to the promise with the letter of appointment, and then retreated. Leaving the hall, Qu Zha only felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a big heart.

Yang Peng said to Yan Ping and Zhao Xiong: "I have a word in advance, as long as you can break through Pibo, then half of the seized income will be given to you as a reward." Now that you've done it, I can't break my promise. The two couldn't help but be overjoyed. The two of them originally wanted to mention it, but they didn't know how to say it.

Yang Peng asked: "What is the specific situation of the seizure?" Yan Ping and Zhao Xiong glanced at each other, and Zhao Xiong said, "We don't know what the specific situation is." ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Don't you have statistics?" The two shook their heads together, and Yan Ping clenched his fists and said: "I don't dare to raid the house without permission, I only know that in this palace alone, the gold and silver alone exceed two million taels of silver." It's not clear what the whole situation is. ”

Yang Peng praised: "You guys did a great job! Then he said to Yang Dezheng: "Raid the homes of those nobles for me, and leave only the necessary living materials and property for them." Yang Dezheng clenched his fists and promised, and ran down.

Yang Dezheng led soldiers and horses to break into the nobles' homes and raid their homes, and the city was in a hustle and bustle. Everyone was terrified, fearing that bad things would befall them. In the evening, the city gradually calmed down, and the small nobles, slaves, and a very small number of free people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the Ming army only raided the homes of those big nobles and did not touch themselves, but they were still worried in their hearts. I'm only worried that the Ming Army stopped raiding the house because it was over, maybe it will start again tomorrow, and tomorrow will be their turn.

One night, everyone spent the night in anxiety and couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, people raised their hearts to their throats, and they were afraid that the wolf-like Ming army would suddenly break in. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. People couldn't help but push open the doors of their homes and walked out, only to see notices posted everywhere in the streets and alleys. It was written in the Tibetan language, and those who knew the text read it: "By the edict of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the edict is issued to all the people of Tibet." Now Pibo has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and all the people in this land are the people of the Ming Dynasty from now on. In view of the fact that the Tibetan nobles had committed numerous crimes against the common people, it was decided to confiscate the property of the great nobles, and to abolish all the unreasonable treaties signed by the nobles and the common people, and all slaves became free people from then on. They deserve it, and ordinary people should not be afraid. In addition, all the people of the Ming Dynasty can obtain land from the imperial court impermanently, and it is specially announced that the people can go to the local government for less than ten acres of land at home, and apply to the government, and the government will distribute the land free of charge according to the actual situation of each family. ”

The contents of the notice quickly spread throughout the city. The people felt incredulous and did not believe that the government would distribute land to the people in an impermanent manner. Some people tried to apply at the Provisional Government Office with the intention of giving it a try, but they didn't expect to actually apply, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. The news immediately spread throughout the city, and the whole city exploded, and the people flocked to the official office, which was crowded with people, and the gate of the official office was almost squeezed through. The people were smiling with joy when they took the land certificate issued by the government, and those slaves who had been slaves all their lives and had never owned their own property couldn't help but cry with joy when they got their own land certificates. At this moment, no one still misses Tubo, but I just think that it would be good if I returned to the Ming Dynasty one day earlier!

In the hall of the palace, Yang Dezheng reported to Yang Peng: "Your Majesty, according to preliminary statistics, the total value of gold and silver seized exceeds five million taels of silver!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, and said to Yanping Zhao Xiong: "Five million taels of gold and silver, I will give you three million taels." The two didn't expect Yang Peng to give so much, and they were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

Yang Peng stood up and walked in front of the two of them, "Although your gains this time are not small, the losses are also very large, how do you plan to deal with the families of those casualties?" ”

Zhao Xiong said arrogantly: "According to the rules of the dart game, the deceased will receive a pension of one hundred taels of silver at home, and the disabled will receive a pension of fifty taels." Yan Ping clenched his fists and said, "Does Your Majesty have any advice?" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "This time you have gained a lot, such a pension standard is too little!" The two were stunned, and Zhao Xiong nodded; Your Majesty is right! I didn't react! This time the harvest is so big, it is completely possible to double the pension! I have to let my dead brother close his eyes! Yan Ping nodded.

Yang Peng said: "I make a suggestion. You can take out a part of the funds to invest in businesses such as restaurants, teahouses, and Buzhuang rice shops, which can be used to settle the disabled brothers and the families of the deceased brothers. First, it takes care of them, and secondly, it can also add extra income to your game. The eyes of the two lit up, Yan Ping nodded thoughtfully: "This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!" ”

Later that day, Yang Peng and Yang Dezheng walked on the city walls. Yang Peng looked at the vast grassland outside the city and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and sighed: "Snow-capped mountains and grasslands, such beautiful scenery is difficult to see in other places!" Yang Dezheng said: "It's just too high, and the combat effectiveness of our specially trained plateau army here has also been greatly affected!" ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "Don't always think about military things!" You have to know the mood of life! Yang Dezheng looked stupid, obviously not understanding what Yang Peng was saying. Yang Peng sighed and said, "I didn't know what it meant to play the piano to the cow, but now I finally know!" Yang Dezheng picked his head embarrassedly.

Yang Peng propped his hands on the battlements, looked into the distance, and asked, "Do you think our ordinary army can be stationed in places like Luo and Pibo?" Yang Dezheng thought for a while and said: "Although these places are much higher than the Central Plains, they are all located in the plain valley of Tubo, although the general army will inevitably feel uncomfortable, but the problem should not be big!" However, the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly weakened compared to the Central Plains! "After a pause," he said, he was more worried about another question. All our troops are accustomed to eating pasta and rice, if they go to Tibet to garrison, pasta and rice are transported from the Central Plains, the cost of high mountains and roads is too great, and they will not get used to the diet of Tibet, I am afraid that many people will have problems with water and soil! I'm afraid that if I don't start a war with anyone, I will lose a lot! ”

Yang Peng frowned and nodded. He looked at Yue Yun and asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

Yang Dezheng said: "This matter has already been discussed between the last general and General Yang Gui. It is felt that the gains from the domestic transfer of troops outweigh the losses, and the cost is too great. It is better to follow the example of the plateau army and recruit personnel nearby to train into an army! Originally, General Yang and General Yang were worried that the people of Tibet would oppose us, and this matter would be difficult to carry out, but these days, I have seen that the people of Luo and Pibo have sincerely attached themselves to us because of our land policy, and this matter should not be a problem! In Tibet, the vast majority of people are slaves of the aristocracy, and now that they have obtained the land, they naturally do not want the nobles to make a comeback, they are reduced to slavery again, these people can be trusted! ”

Yang Peng laughed and teased; "You kid, sometimes you are very simple, and sometimes you are very sharp-eyed!" Yang Dezheng smiled a little embarrassedly. Yang Peng said with a smile: "You kid, you are interested in military affairs, in this regard, you can be said to be a genius!" is worthy of being Yang Yanzhao's son! Yang Dezheng's eyes couldn't help but show pride.

Yang Peng asked with a smile: "I have been fighting endlessly in the past few years, have you ever gotten tired of it?" ”

Yang Dezheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, how can it be!" Then he frowned and said, "If there is no war one day, the last general really doesn't know how to live his life!" ”

Yang Peng laughed, patted Yang Dezheng on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, that day will never come!" ”

The two continued to stroll around the city, and Yang Peng said: "This horse is the largest and most important city in the south of the Brahmaputra River. I intend not only to build this place into an economic and political center in the south of the Brahmaputra River, but also to build it into an impregnable fortress! It's on your shoulders! Yang Dezheng hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured! This city sits on a steep mountain, even if it is not fortified, the last general will have the confidence to deal with any incoming enemy! Yang Peng pondered: "The city walls here are all made of huge stones, and they are tall and strong enough to rely on the mountain, but there is no need for additional reinforcement." However, I'm going to send some artillery to strengthen the city's defenses, and you can cast the batteries in the right places in advance! ”

Yang Dezheng clenched his fists and promised, and said: "Your Majesty, the last general suggested that the Luo should also be reinforced, and Pibo one is north of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and the other is south of the Yarlung Zangbo River, forming a horn trend, even with a small number of troops, it is enough to control the entire Tubo region!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and said, "Your thoughts coincide with mine." It is a very important strategic place to control the north and south of the Brahmaputra River, one south and one north! He glanced at Yang Dezheng and said, "The current land reform policy is underway, and you can take this opportunity to form a local people's army." When the military government sends someone to come, it will be handed over. "Yes."

A day later, Yang Dezheng left Pibo, and with Yang Peng, there were mercenaries who made a lot of money. Although the mercenaries had suffered heavy casualties before, their morale was now high, and they all wanted another big battle.

The group entered the Luo, at this time the Luosome has restored the quiet and peaceful scene, outside the Luozhi Yamen is still a crowded scene, there are constantly refugees who fled outside to escape their slave owners come back, register the name of the family with the Yanyun government, and apply for the land allocated by the imperial court; The slaves who had been given the land were all smiling.

Yang Peng separated from the mercenaries and entered the palace. Yan Ji, who got the news, immediately came to greet her. Yang Peng smiled: "I've only been away for a few days, why does it seem to be much better than when I left?" As he spoke, he untied his robe. Yan Ji took the robe, walked to the side of the hanger and hung it, turned around and smiled; "This is thanks to the prefect of the Lord's fate!"

Yang Peng showed a look of surprise and said: "I appointed him as the prefect, just considering that he is a Tubo person, and he has surrendered to us, so he can be trusted, and he can make it easier for the Tubo people to accept us, but it is just a transition." Is he really an internal talent? ”

Yan Ji returned to Yang Peng's side, the two sat down, and Yan Ji said: "This person is indeed a rare internal affairs talent!" After taking office, he immediately set about forming a local government, and at the same time quickly implemented our Yang Peng's major policies, and in just a few days, this city was completely new! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Okay! With such a talent, we can save a lot of trouble! Yan Ji smiled slightly, remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Not long ago, a cabinet document came from Bianliang, saying that the personnel selected from various places and universities have already set off. Yang Peng nodded and said: "If you want to really control and govern Tubo well, it is absolutely impossible to do it without a large number of formally trained internal affairs talents!" ”

A secret guard rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, General Yang Gui is here." Immediately there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Yang Gui, dressed in military uniform, strode in. When he saw Yang Peng and Yan Ji, he immediately bowed and said, "The last general will meet Your Majesty and Niangniang!" "The rules of the Ming Dynasty, when the army is fighting, all etiquette is simple, and the general does not have to pass it on to the emperor, but can directly enter the meeting.

Yang Peng said: "General Yang is exempt!" Yang Gui thanked him, stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, General Yang Xin has already begun to strengthen the pass in Poor Fruit!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, "I have sent someone to send an order to the cabinet to send a batch of cannons from the armory to strengthen the defenses of Poor Fruit, Luo and Pibo. Yang Guixi said: "Great! With these cannons, the Tianzhu people are attacking the country, and don't want to please them! ”

Yang Peng asked, "How is the formation of the military government army?" ”

Yang Gui smiled: "It's smooth!" The vast majority of the Tibetan people are slaves of the nobility, and now under the rule of our Ming Dynasty, they have finally become free people and own land, for Your Majesty, for our Ming Dynasty are grateful to Dade! As soon as we set up a stall to recruit the military government, the local people enthusiastically signed up, which can really be said to be an empty alley! ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "That's fine." This Tubo is too high, it is difficult for the main force of the Ming Dynasty to be stationed here for a long time, and it is better for the locals to guard the Tubo. Yang Guishen nodded sympathetically.

Yang Peng asked, "Is there any news from the envoy who sent the envoy north and west of Tanggula Mountain?" "The Ming army currently mainly controls the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin, as well as the Nujiang River Basin and the Jinsha River Basin east of Tanggula Mountain, but the north and west of Tanggula Mountain have not entered, the north of Tanggula Mountain, is now called Hoh Xili, in the modern society with a prosperous population of science and technology, Hoh Xil is still a desolate primitive land, not to mention the ancient nature of thousands of years ago. Yan Yunjun has not entered the north and west of Tanggula Mountain, firstly, he can't take care of it, and secondly, because those places are poor mountains and bad waters, and the settlements are very scattered, so it is really not easy to send troops to go, so after the Ming army basically controlled the situation recently, Yang Peng ordered Yang Gui to send envoys to the north and west of Tanggula Mountain to surrender.

Yang Gui frowned and said, "The situation is not very optimistic. Many of the envoys we sent were hunted down and killed by the local nobles, and only a small number of the local nobles had the intention of surrendering, but they did not dare to express their stance when they were coerced by the big nobles. Your Majesty, the last general thinks that sending an army to fight is inevitable! ”

Yang Peng frowned and said: "There are no large-scale settlements in those places, the area is very vast and the population is very sparse, and the army is really a bit of a cannon to fight mosquitoes." It is better to send a small number of troops, with the cooperation of mercenaries, to sweep the flat. ”

Yang Gui nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise, so it should be possible to solve the problem, and the cost is small." Then he smiled and said, "It's just that I have to pay the mercenaries again!" Yang Peng waved his hand and smiled; I'm not going to pay this time. Yang Gui showed a puzzled look, and Yan Ji smiled: "Is it possible that the husband wants to eat white food?" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Your husband won't be so unproductive!" Yan Ji smiled. Yang Gui inadvertently saw the smiling appearance of the mother, and couldn't help but lose his mind. Yang Gui is upright and has never liked women, but he can't resist Yan Ji's charm. Yang Gui quickly looked away, only to feel his heart pounding, ashamed, and afraid.

Yang Peng said to Yang Gui: "Isn't there a big nobleman in Hoh Xili?" Since these great nobles will resist to the end, I have fulfilled them. Tell the mercenaries, and pay them half of the wealth of the great nobles, and tell them to gather at least six thousand men as soon as possible, and march in three days. Yang Gui's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this is really a good way!" Then he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will negotiate here!" Chen Xiao nodded. Zhang Xian hurried away.

Yan Ji teased: "What the husband is doing now is really like a robber leader!" Yang Peng laughed, hugged Yan Ji's slender waist, and joked: "Ai Ji, you don't know, the emperor has been a bandit leader since ancient times!" Yan Ji pursed her lips and smiled. Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Husband, there is something that the concubine almost forgot!" ”

Yang Peng's palm touched Yan Ji's vital point, and said with a wicked smile: "Is it that Ai Ji misses her husband?" Yan Ji leaned softly into Yang Peng's arms, looked at Yang Peng infinitely charmingly, and said angrily; The concubine wants to talk to her husband about business! Yang Peng stopped making a bad move, but his palm still stopped on the vital part, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Is there a correction that we're doing right now? ”

Yan Ji glanced at her lover charmingly, straightened out her thoughts, and finally remembered the incident, and said: "Not long ago, news came from my subordinates that the Tubo Emperor had sent someone to negotiate with the Tianzhu people, and the concubine thought that the Tubo Emperor should want to seek the protection of the Tianzhu people. ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Now that Tubo is at the end of the road, I am naturally anxious to find a backer." It's just that this backer may not be reliable! ”

Yan Ji asked, "Husband is saying that the Tianzhu people will not help them?" ”

Yang Peng pinched Yan Ji's vital point, causing Yan Ji's whole person to fall into his arms with a slump, and said with a smile: "A sheep wants to coexist peacefully with a tiger, and a tiger wants to protect itself, do you think it's possible?" Yan Ji was pinched in the sensitive part, and when her heart was rippling, the whole person was in a daze, and when she heard Yang Peng's words, she didn't hear what it was, but she just asked subconsciously while panting; What? Seeing her look like this, Yang Peng only felt a flutter in his heart, and couldn't help but kiss her red lips. In an instant, the thunder of the sky hooked the earth's fire, out of control, Yan Ji wrapped her lover violently like a beautiful snake, kissed back passionately and wildly, and hugged her lover tightly with a pair of slender hands, wanting to let her lover and herself become one.

When the female guards at the door saw this, they couldn't help but blush, and they immediately closed the door.

At the same time, the Tubo Emperor did not have the leisure and leisure of Yang Peng, which can be said to be anxious.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
