Chapter 515: The End of Everything, Pioneer the Spring of the Aristocrats
The strength of the imperial court's conscription of peasant soldiers shocked everyone, and those heroes, nobles, and eunuchs were all taken aback.
You must know that the peasants and soldiers engaged in by the royal family are like goods in the eyes of many people, they think that they are the rewards of the royal family to meritorious officials, and they do not pay too much attention to the strength of the peasants and soldiers, but the reality is that they have taught them a hard lesson.
Next, part of the border army and peasant soldiers of the imperial court converged, and then began to attack and conquer in all directions.
The Great Cadre Army continued to defeat the rebel army through large and small battles, and at the same time, the powerful and noble rebel armies in various places were also defeated.
It's just that the affairs of the world cannot be solved by force alone, although those peasant rebels have been suppressed now, but if those people are not given a way to live, soon these desperate people will rise up again.
At that time, the imperial army will have to go back and forth, constantly defeating the rebel army. As soon as one side was defeated, another one appeared on the other side, and as soon as the army left, one would soon appear again.
In the end, the imperial court soldiers and horses were exhausted and exhausted, and were finally defeated by an endless army of rebels.
Because many powerful people who opposed the imperial court joined the rebel army, the strength of the original rebel army began to improve rapidly, at least it was no longer the rabble it used to be. Even some rebel armies have gathered thousands of armor soldiers.
Among them, there are fewer and fewer pure rebel armies, and the vast majority of rebel armies have been seized by the powerful and noble who have joined them.
Under such circumstances, it was no longer appropriate to continue to implement the reform of the law, so Wang Yan ordered that the implementation of the new law be suspended, and at the same time, began to send officials to appease the people and re-grant the people acres of land.
The imperial court abolished the commodity price limit system and abolished the redistribution of land. So that the merchants could continue to sell goods, pacify the people, and distribute the acres of land to the people.
With the end of the reform, many powerful people, nobles, and official eunuchs also began to support the imperial court.
Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, these densely populated prefectures were quickly resolved under the sweep of the Great Cadre army.
After these prefectures and counties swept away the rebels, the imperial court immediately sent people to restore order.
Above the court, the emperor was dissatisfied with the emperor's stop changing the law and abolishing the previous policy, and the officials of the reform faction felt that maybe they were wrong to change the law, but those noble and powerful official families were the cancer.
They should be dealt with severely, eliminated.
Wang Yan looked at these people arguing calmly, and said lightly: "It's right to crack down on Haoqiang, but if it is at the cost of chaos in the world, countless deaths and injuries among the people, rampant plagues, no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and white bones exposed in the wild, then this price will be too great!" ”
"What are we fighting Haoqiang for?"
"For the people to live and work in peace and contentment, for the prosperity of Zhuxia civilization, and for the prosperity of Daqian!"
"But what about now? How many more people will die if it continues? ”
"Now that the world is in chaos and the vitality of the great cadres is greatly damaged, do you think those barbarians will take the opportunity to attack? Can the Zhuxia civilization survive this chaos? ”
"Can the Great Qianjiang Mountain Society be preserved?"
"Is Your Majesty going to compromise with those people?" A group of reformist scholars wept bitterly.
"Compromise? Not! Wang Yan shook his head: "Suppressing Haoqiang has always been the national policy of Daqian, but this time we are impatient to suppress Haoqiang, and the method is not correct!" ”
"We suppressed Haoqiang in order to let the people live a stable life and let the cadres continue to prosper, but now the suppression of Haoqiang has deviated from this purpose!"
"Now the world is in flames, the people have died countless lives, and the people who died in the war are far higher than the people who died under the oppression of the powerful, and this change has lost its meaning!"
"In the past, I agreed with your changes because I wanted to reform in a peaceful way, so that the people would not be oppressed and the great cadres would continue to be brilliant. What will happen if the world continues now? Wang Yan sighed and said.
"Careerists will be ecstatic, they will do everything possible to provoke a war, and then make a profit from it, and when the strength is enough, they will fight for the crown!"
"The people have been killed and injured countless times, the bones are piled up, and the blood is flowing and drifting, how many hundreds of millions of people will be left in the end?"
"The way of changing the law is too radical now, or it can be said that we underestimated the backlash of the world's heroes, nobles, and official eunuchs, and we were not fully prepared. This battle has been lost, so get ready for next time and continue! ”
Wang Yan's attitude determined the direction of the imperial court, and the reform was terminated.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial army began to fight against the rebel armies in various places, and many of the rebel armies had strong and powerful joining, but even so, they were not the opponents of the imperial army.
One rebel army after another was defeated by the imperial army, and the situation in the world gradually stabilized.
And at this time, there was an urgent report from the north, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei entered the Kou.
The Xiongnu raised 200,000 troops, and the Xianbei raised 300,000 soldiers, respectively from Beidi County and Shuofang County.
Fortunately, the imperial court has not relaxed the border, coupled with the soldiers who pioneered the nobility, reluctantly kept the Xiongnu and Xianbei out of the Great Wall, but the land outside the Great Wall was basically lost, and the Hetao area also lost a lot of land.
However, there were still many small groups of Hu people who crossed mountains and mountains or took rugged paths into the land of Zhuxia, and the imperial court could only suspend their actions and then send troops to deal with those Hu people.
The Great Cadre army was transferred back and began to clear the Hu people, and without the suppression of the imperial army, those rebel armies began to revive again.
Many powerful people, nobles, and eunuchs saw that Hu Ren had entered the army, and felt that this was a good opportunity to overthrow the imperial court in one fell swoop, and joined the rebel army one after another.
The rebel army, which had been greatly weakened, recovered quickly and was stronger than before. The world, which was about to be calmed, seemed to be full of smoke again in the next second.
These rebels are already qualitatively different from the rabble at the beginning.
After seeing this situation, Wang Yan had no choice but to give an order to the southern pioneer nobles, ordering them to raise troops to suppress the rebels.
Wang Yan knew very well that the rebel army had been controlled by the powerful and transformed into a rebel army.
After receiving the imperial edict, the southern pioneer nobles were also overjoyed, and with the imperial edict, the original order to limit the amount of their troops was naturally canceled. The reins that had been on their heads were suddenly loosened in half.
These pioneer nobles recruited soldiers, and then led a large army to cooperate with the imperial army and began to exterminate the rebels.
Although the strength of these powerful rebels has increased a lot, they are the opponents of the army of pioneering nobles who have been fighting against the barbarians for many years.
With the help of the army of the pioneer nobles, the court once again wiped out these rebels, and at the same time, a large number of powerful and noble people were also eliminated, and the pioneer nobles also took the opportunity to start transporting a large number of captives back to their fiefdoms.
Although the imperial court pacified the world, in this turmoil, tens of millions of people were killed and injured. And more importantly, the rise of the pioneering aristocracy.
