Soon after, the nobles took the initiative to hand over all the looted wealth to the government, and at the same time sent the local servants who were guilty of killing and injuring the people and raping women to the government, and at the same time offered generous indemnities. The Ming Dynasty returned the money, food and property returned by the nobles to me, and at the same time issued indemnities, and publicly executed those foxes and tigers on the square by the city gate on all sides of the Dading Mansion. The people of Dading Mansion are very happy, and they are grateful to Yang Peng and Daming.

Subsequently, the land was successively distributed to the hands of the people, and the people were thunderous, and they were already extremely loyal to Daming and Yang Peng.

Situations like this are playing out throughout Zhongjing Road, which was occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Hugo led a large army and hurried into the Shangjing Road. At this time, I received a report from the front and learned that the offensive had been suspended, and my anxiety couldn't help but subside a lot. Ordered the army to travel from day and night to day and night, and continued to march all the way to Zhongjing Road. Along the road, I saw that the fields were barren and the people's livelihood was withering, but I didn't care about it, and only thought about how to gather more troops and how to recover the land occupied by the Ming army.

The army returned to Shangjing. Zhang Chang led the remaining civil and military officials out of the city to greet them, and after singing praises like a tsunami, Yehu Hugo entered the city gate surrounded by all the ministers. All the way to the palace, I saw that there were few pedestrians on the streets, the shops were deserted, and no one on the street cheered for the return of His Majesty the Emperor. He was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything.

Back in the palace hall, Brother Ye sat on the head, hundreds of officials danced to meet him, and the mountain shouted long live.

Brother Yahu finally had a smile on his face, and raised his voice: "Let's all be even." The ministers thanked him and stood up.

When even an official came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to sue Prime Minister Zhang Chang, and he has acted perversely, so that the people's livelihood is withered, the people are poor, thieves are rising, and the subjects are uneasy!" ”

Zhang Chang was anxious and angry, and hurriedly said to Brother Ye Hugh: "Your Majesty, Lord Cheng's words are exaggerated, grandstanding, and intent on slandering Weichen in order to achieve the goal of overthrowing Weichen and replacing him!" Weichen does not love the position of prime minister, but he must not let this person's sinister intentions succeed! "The surname Cheng who suddenly came out to denounce Zhang Chang is called Cheng Guodong, a Han Chinese, an official who worships the squire of the Criminal Department, and is known for his uprightness.

Cheng Guodong was very annoyed when he saw Zhang Chang quibbling like this, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, when you enter the city, you must see that the fields outside the city are barren and the commerce and trade in the city are withering!" This is all caused by Zhang Chang's perverse behavior, please Your Majesty to treat Zhang Chang's crime of rebellion, and severely punish him to set an example! ”

Zhang Chang said angrily: "For the sake of the overall situation, these sacrifices are necessary!" Now that the Ming army is pressing, the empire urgently needs a large amount of money and food to mobilize the army against the Ming Dynasty, and it can only collect money and food from the people! Therefore, if there is a slight damage to the people, it is also a last resort! What's more, as a subject of the Great Liao Empire, shouldn't you share the same hatred with the empire and make some contributions to the empire? ”

"Lord Cheng, you are a Han Chinese, when the Ming army is pressing the border, but trying to sabotage the empire's vital policy of collecting money and food, what are your intentions? Have you already colluded with the Ming Dynasty to destroy our Da Liao? Zhang Chang's voice was fierce and aggressive.

Cheng Guodong was furious, pointed at Zhang Chang and shouted; "You traitor! Although I am a Han Chinese, I am blessed by the Great Liao, and I am only loyal to the Great Liao in this life, and I will never have two hearts! It's you, pretending to be public and private, under the guise of collecting money and food for the army, but you fill your pocket with countless money and food! You are not the prime minister of my Da Liao, you are clearly the rebellious minister and thief who harmed my Da Liao! ”

Zhang Chang immediately bowed to Brother Ye Hugh and said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Guodong slandered Weichen so much, and Weichen asked his colleagues in the court to testify for the minister!" Let's see if Weichen is the kind of traitor who is a fake public and private enrichment in Cheng Guodong's mouth! ”

Immediately, a thin old official walked out of the train, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen really can't look at it!" During this period of time, Prime Minister Zhang Chang has made every effort to raise food and grass for the army, which enabled Xiao Gan to lead the army to fight against the Ming Dynasty! Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for His Majesty to come back, Shangjing will already fall! Turning his head to look at Cheng Guodong, he said angrily: "It's hateful that Lord Cheng actually framed the prime minister because of his selfish and personal grudges, completely ignoring the safety of the Great Liao Kingdom and His Majesty's grand cause, which is really hateful!" ”

Cheng Guodong couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he saw him reversing black and white, pointing at him and shouting: "How can you reverse black and white like this!" ......" Before the words fell, the court loyalty had already scrambled to reprimand him, and only said that he was even more difficult than the culture of Deyu at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Cheng Guodong was shocked and angry when he saw that all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were turning black and white and referring to the deer as a horse, and he was speechless.

Brother Hydon raised his right hand, and the noisy court gradually quieted down.

Brother Ye Hugh looked at Cheng Guodong with a cold expression, and asked coldly, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Cheng Guodong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "The minister has nothing to say!" Glancing at the nobles of the Great Liao Empire of the Manchu Dynasty, he said angrily: "I didn't see that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all profitless villains!" There was another commotion in the court. Yeylord shouted angrily, "Enough! You're just so presumptuous! Come on! ”

When a few guards came in quickly, they bowed and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Brother Ye Hugh pointed at Cheng Guodong and said angrily: "Strip this guy who spreads rumors and slanders the prime minister from his official robe, exit the palace gate and behead him!" Set an example! Cheng Guodong laughed, his voice full of sadness.

When several guards heard the order, they immediately stepped forward and stripped Cheng Guodong of his official robe, grabbed him and dragged him out.

Zhang Chang hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Several of the guards stopped. Zhang Chang immediately bowed to Brother Ye and said, "Your Majesty shouldn't execute a minister like this!" Cheng Guodong glared and roared: "Thief, who wants you to sell it!" ”

Zhang Chang glanced at him, smiled coldly, and said lightly: "I'm not interceding for you. It's just that the state only has the law, and the minister's guilt must be handed over to the department for trial and verdict before it can be punished! Then he said to Brother Yey, "Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch of the Ages, I beg Your Majesty to deal with it according to law!" ”

Brother Ye Hugh sighed, glared at Cheng Guodong, and asked, "Don't you feel ashamed?" Cheng Guodong was so angry that he almost fainted, and shouted hysterically: "Don't accept his favor, please Your Majesty execute the minister immediately!" ”

Brother Ye Hugh snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said, "Escort down, lock up!" The guards immediately dragged Cheng Guodong, who was shouting endlessly, down. After a few moments, the heart-rending screams died down completely.

Brother Ye Hugh frowned and said, "This Cheng Guodong really disappointed me!" ”

Zhang Changbai said: "Your Majesty is angry! This Cheng Guodong must have been a ghost for a while to do this kind of thing! ”

Brother Yehu frowned and shook his head, "Don't talk about him!" He glanced at Zhang Chang and said approvingly: "What you did is very good!" Thanks to the fact that you have raised so much money in such a short period of time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable! Zhang Chang hurriedly bowed: "For the Great Liao Empire, it is the blessing of Weichen to do his best for His Majesty!" ”

Ye Hugo smiled with satisfaction, thinking of the battle situation on the side of Zhongjing Road, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Tell me more about the situation on the side of Zhongjing Road." ”

Zhang Chang made a promise, and then concisely recounted the development of the war from the beginning to the present.

Brother Yehu frowned and muttered, "With so many troops, they can't stop the Ming Dynasty's soldiers?!" ”

Zhang Chang said: "Weichen thinks that this matter can't be completely blamed on Xiao Gan's inseparability!" It's really that Yang Peng and Ya Yu Guanyin are too cunning! Brother Ye Hugh couldn't help but nodded, after listening to Zhang Chang's narration just now, he knew that Xiao Gan Wuli had indeed tried his best, and he had already played at a super level, but every time he was counted by the other party, his plan failed, and he fell into the other party's trick. Judging from the situation of her last encounter, it was also thanks to his quick decision, otherwise, his army would have been wiped out long ago!

Thinking of the aggressive momentum shown by the Ming Army, Ye Hugo couldn't help but feel irritated.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Chang and asked, "What information does the Ming Army have?" ”

Zhang Changbai said: "I was about to report to Your Majesty." According to our detailed report, the Ming side is recruiting young people from all over the country to replenish the battle losses of various armies, and at the same time mobilizing military troops in many places! It seems that the Ming side is preparing for the next stage of the offensive! ”

Yeyhugo frowned and muttered, "The enemy army is menacing, we must do our best!" Considering that the current troops gathered on Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road did not have the ability to defeat me at all, he said to Zhang Chang: "You did a very good job of collecting grain and grass before!" ……”

Zhang Chang hurriedly bowed: "Weichen really doesn't dare to be!" This is just a matter of micro-ministers! ”

Jerehugo smiled and continued, "Now I'm going to hand over another important responsibility to you! Zhang Chang hurriedly said: "Please Your Majesty command, Wei Chen will bow and die as hard as he can!" ”

Ye Hugo said: "I want you to show the ability to collect grain and grass some time ago, and collect 500,000 young men and women on Shangjing Road, Tokyo Road and Goryeo to form a new army for me to use!" Is there a problem? ”

Zhang Chang bowed and said: "Weichen takes the order, and Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

Yehu Hugo nodded with satisfaction and admonished, "Remember, I am going to come in handy for this new force, and you must complete the recruitment for me within a month!" "Yes! Wechen will definitely do it! "Ye Yu Hugo is very satisfied with Zhang Chang's performance.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yehu Hugo went to the harem, and the sound of torture and screams came from a distance, which was terrifying. Who is locked up in this harem?

When he walked into a small wooden house, he saw a naked man tied to a stake, his face unclear, covered in blood, as if there was no good piece of meat.

Yeylord shook his head and sighed, "Barron, why are you doing this? At this point, why be stubborn? I promise you, as soon as you hand over the king, I will release you immediately, and I will also restore you to your official position!" ”

Barron laughed twice, like a night owl, creepy. Rolled his eyes and glanced at Brother Yehu, and said mockingly: "There is no Wang Jun in hand, the Ming army is attacking, you are in a hurry!" ”

Yaren Hugo was furious and shouted, "Barron, if you don't hand over the king, I will throw it to the dogs with a thousand knives!" ”

Barron said: "I said it a long time ago, I have never seen Wang Jun at all!" ”

Brother Ye said angrily: "You are still pretending to be garlic in front of me!" On the same day, Shangjing was attacked by your subordinates, and Wang Jun disappeared, who else would have done it if you hadn't done it? ”

Barron looked at Yaren with a mocking look and said, "You can't believe me!" But even if I did, I would never give it to you! ”

He pinched Barron's chin and said coldly and ferociously, "If you don't say it, I'll let you taste the torture of the world!" ”

Barron laughed, "So what? It is a place where thousands of knives are cut to death without a burial, as long as I can see your Yehu Hugh so panicked, I am also satisfied! He couldn't help but go wild, and he couldn't help but pull out his scimitar and stab it into Barron's stomach with a click. Barron looked at the Golden Vulture with blood spurting from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Yehu, I'm waiting for you in hell!" He felt nothing but creep, and drew his scimitar sharply, and Barron snorted, dropped his head, and said no more. Brother Yahu was furious and said fiercely: "Throw him into the tiger and leopard park!" The sergeants answered and untied Barron's body and carried it down.

After Zhang Chang received the order of Ye Hugh Ge to levy the people, he immediately complied with it, which can be described as vigorous and resolute. first went to Beijing, and then spread to the whole country, and the government forced each family to send a strong man to fill the army. Those who have strong men in the family have to let the strong men in the family fill the army, and those who do not have strong men in the family are also assigned tasks, no matter how you justify, the government is not allowed, but it has proposed a way to turn around, that is, you can pay a ransom to exempt this errand. However, how many of those ordinary people who did not have strong men in their families could get the money that the government wanted? Unable to hand over the money, the government officials came to the door and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to take away the only little food and money, so it was only the interest on the ransom, and the matter still could not be concluded!

The Liao government arrested strong men everywhere, which made the people clamor and complain, but the knife handle was in the hands of the imperial court, and the vast majority of the people could only accept it and did not dare to resist. However, there was such a situation, and many people who couldn't survive fled their hometowns overnight with their families and fled towards Daming.

Yang Peng sat in the study of the palace of Dading Mansion and listened to Han Qixian's report: "In the past five or six days, there has been an influx of a large number of Liao refugees from all over the country, but tens of thousands of refugees have poured into our Dading Mansion, and this number is still increasing rapidly!" The subordinates have issued an order to send more people to manage the refugees, and at the same time open warehouses to release grain to help them! ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "You did a good job." ”

When Han Qi heard His Majesty's praise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are more and more refugees pouring in, and you have to ask Your Majesty to show you how to settle them." In addition, there is a difficulty now, the grain and grass reserves in the official warehouses in various places are not much, according to the current speed of the influx of refugees, the reserves of the official warehouses in various places can only support for ten days, and Weichen wants to ask His Majesty to send an order to the capable state capital in the south to support us. ”

Yang Peng thought for a while and said, "It takes a long time for the grain and grass from the south to be transported, and it is not urgent. It's better to use military rations. ”

Han Qi first showed surprise, and then said with great gratitude: "Your Majesty loves the people so much, it is really a blessing for the people in the world!" It's just that there are many refugees in various places, and they are still increasing, if military rations are used, I am afraid that the army will be short of food and grass and affect the big things! ”

Yang Peng said: "Relocating these refugees is not a trivial matter. The matter was settled, and it would not be a big deal to postpone the military operation for a few months. He looked at Han Qixian and asked, "How much bedding and cloth are stored in the official warehouses in various places?" ”

Han Qi said first: "There are a lot of these. The specific number was not reported by Weichen for a while. ”

Yang Peng said: "Distribute all these bedding and cloth to the refugees. Han Qixian was moved and bowed down to promise.

Li Lang rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, Yelu Niangniang is here!" ”

Yang Peng's eyes lit up, he stood up and looked towards the door. I saw two stunning beauties in military uniforms walking in hand in hand, the one on the left was Yalu Guanyin, and the one on the right was Yelu Hanyu. Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng, and his beautiful eyes showed an excited expression.

Han Qi was interested in it, and bowed to Yang Peng and the two daughters: "Your Majesty, two mothers, Weichen retires!" Then he retreated.

Yang Peng walked up to Yelu Hanyu and held her slender hand, Yelu Hanyu looked at his lover, and his beautiful eyes were entangled in love. Ya Yin Guanyin smiled: "Why don't you two go to the back bedroom now, anyway, there is nothing to do now!" "Yelu Hanyu's face turned red, glared at Yelu Guanyin, and said angrily;" Sling the bull! Yang Peng smiled.

Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng and said, "I led several military troops to arrive according to the orders of the eldest brother, please assign the task to the eldest brother." ”

Yang Peng thought of the matter, so he temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart. walked to the map hanging on the side of the study, looked at the map and said: "We currently have 220,000 troops directly under the Zhongjing Road, a total of 140,000 troops in the first army and the second army, and 100,000 Khitan troops in Xiao Yebula," During this time, the Ming army and the Khitan army continued to fight, and each department had varying degrees of battle losses, but the recruits recruited from all over the Central Plains have been replenished one after another. The Khitan army, which was originally more than 100,000, in addition to the battle damage, there were many old and weak soldiers who did not meet the requirements of the Ming Dynasty were eliminated, so the current number of 100,000 was obtained.

"In addition, it is the sixteen states of Yanyun, Hebei Zhulu, Shandong, Henan, Taiyuan, and Hanzhong, with a total of 600,000 soldiers and horses. Today, our army gathered on Zhongjing Road has exceeded one million! ”

Yelu Hanyu said excitedly: "We have never started a war of this scale!" Even throughout ancient and modern history, there has been almost no march of this scale! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I want to expand the scale!" ”

The two women looked at each other in surprise.

Yang Peng ordered Li Lang and the other guards to replace the map in front of them and hang up the entire map of the entire northern territory. Yang Peng pointed to the Ningxia region and said: "I plan to order Yang Yanzhao to lead 200,000 main forces from Heishui Town to attack the Mongolian region," Heishui Town, which was the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town in Western Xia, was in the northernmost part of Western Xia. When Western Xia was still there, the Yan Military Division of Heishui Town was at the forefront of the defense of the Northern Liao State.

Yang Peng's finger pointed at the Datong Prefecture area and said, "The military government army in the Datong area guards the Datong area unchanged. At the same time, the Ningxia Military Government, the Shaanxi Military Government, and the Sichuan Military Government Army were assembled, with a total of 300,000 military government troops, and Cao Jun was transferred back as the commander-in-chief, leading the three military government armies to attack eastern Mongolia from the north of Datongfu Road. Turning his head to look at the two women, he smiled and asked, "What do you think of my plan?" ”

Both women looked surprised and looked at each other. Yelu Hanyu asked in disbelief, "Is the eldest brother going to send an army of 500,000 to the west?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded.

Ya Yu Guanyin exclaimed: "In this way, wouldn't the total number of troops used by our Da Ming this time exceed one and a half million!?" It's unbelievable! Then he snorted; The eldest brother must be going to destroy Brother Hugh in one go! ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried about whether the weight of grain and grass can be guaranteed?" ”

Yang Peng said: "There is no problem with this, I have discussed with Zhang Xiang and them through the flying pigeon book, and our current grain and grass reserves are more than enough to supply 1.5 million soldiers and horses for battle." Then he smiled and said, "We are not the same as we were now!" The grain and grass reserves are very abundant! As for money, that's even more! It is the money recently obtained from the nobles of Zhongjing Road, which is enough to supply the needs of the armies of Zhongjing Road! ”

Yelu Hanyu said with a smile: "I heard when I came here that the eldest brother has taken the local nobles again!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not a knife or a knife." As for me, I'm just impartial, who told those nobles to have more or less those dirty things! It's called hitting my knife edge! The two women smiled.

Yang Peng remembered one thing and said, "The time that was originally planned for the general offensive must now be postponed. Then he said what he had just said to Han Qixian.

The two women showed a look of thought angrily, and Yelu Hanyu said: "Although this matter seems to be unfavorable to us in the short term, it is very beneficial to us in the long run!" As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so when the people are in danger, we should take on the burden of saving the people! Defeat Yehu Hugo, you don't have to be busy for a while! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin nodded and said, "Not bad." What's more, the strength of Yehu Hugo is also very strong, and it is unrealistic to hope that Yalu Hugo will be completely defeated in a short period of time. In addition, many of our artillery supplies are still on the way, and it will be beneficial for us to delay the attack for some time! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "We call husband and wife see the same!" The two girls smiled, looking at their lovers with beautiful eyes, and they both looked emotional.

When Yang Peng saw such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but move his index fingers, and immediately dragged the two girls to Wushan behind to go to the rain. It wasn't until the evening that Yang Peng appeared in front, but Yelu Guanyin and Yelu Hanyu didn't appear again this night.

Yang Peng's new order was conveyed, and the warehouses in all parts of the country were busy at full speed, transporting grain, grass, gunpowder, cannons, and ordnance and armor to the north in a steady stream.

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