Chapter 80: The End of the Great War

Boom!" A bolt of lightning cracked through the void, and the heavens and the earth were snow-white, and the thunderstorm was even greater

"Spring thunder in April? It's really rare, and what's even more rare is that the city is sieged on rainy days!" Yang Xuanning said with a good spare time, after capturing Baling County, after a little repair, Yang Xuanning led 10,000 troops, through Yuzhang County, then through Poyang County, and then to Dongyang County, and then into Sui'an County, because the march along the way was not fast, so it arrived at Sui'an County, and it was the second day of the first month of April. \.0М/

In fact, the population of Baling County is not large, with five counties and 16,000 households, but the key is to eliminate the future troubles, and to obtain the Dongting Water Division, the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is really a strategic benefit for the future control of the south.

As for Sui'an County, in fact, the cabinet already had support, and the policy adopted by the cabinet was quite sensible - first stick to the base camp of Huiji County, which not only concentrated most of the wealth, but also had a population of 30,000 households (some of the displaced people were integrated into households), which is currently the largest county among all counties.

The political significance is even more significant, this is currently the royal capital, and once the royal capital has a mistake, it will be a catastrophe for the Tang army with an unstable foundation, and it is only afraid that the foundation of the army's political heart and political heart will collapse immediately.

Then send an army of 5,000 men to break through the obstacles and enter the city to maintain a state of defense.

It can be said that, basically, knowing the news that Baling has fallen, in fact, Shen Faxing has failed strategically, but when Yang Xuanning set up camp far away, he led a cavalry of 500 people to observe outside the city, and found that the battle continued.

Outside the city, the mountains were full of Shen Faxing troops besieging the city, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the arrows were like flying locusts, exchanging with each other in the air, and countless people were screaming and struggling on the line of life and death.

There are many things going on with the Cabinet Elders. was very busy and couldn't find his time, so Li Chunfeng was ordered to come.

In this regard, Yang Xuanning of course wanted to comfort: "How is the situation of Mr.?"

"The ministers were frightened, so that the king was worried, my father was no longer in danger of life, but he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, maybe within a year, he would not be able to share the king's worries. "His father Li was injured. Li Chunfeng suddenly matured a lot, and there was more calmness in his eyes, and he replied respectfully.

"Mr. can slowly recuperate, you don't need to look at the little things, you can take the big things in your hands, check the pass, and it's okay. "Although politically. In fact, Li Bo's injury is a good thing, because Li Bo was in charge of political affairs before, and now he has to take a back seat, although after a year and a half, he can return to power, but in the end, there is no more personnel.

However, Yang Xuanning did not want to take the opportunity to completely deprive him of his power, and Li Bo was still the prime minister of his will. No one else has been able to hold up the big picture.

After the monarch and ministers condoled, Li Chunfeng pointed to the army in front and began to analyze Yang Xuanning and said: "That one is Shen Faxing's most elite guard. The total strength is 3,000 people, and secondly, they are all recruited from various families, Shen Faxing claims to control 3,000 families, these 50,000 people are really from the two counties, but by now, 10,000 people have been lost, and the other 40,000 are exhausted. ”

"Of course, in the city. It has been attacked for half a month, and although there has been a reinforcement, it is now exhausted. But even so, Shen Faxing was determined to work hard. ”

"Hmph, Shen Faxing has to be like this, he is enemies everywhere, if he doesn't kill a way, he can only wait for death. Yang Xuanning said lightly.

At this moment, the war drums sounded again, apparently Shen Faxing's army, and launched another attack order.

Thousands of men launched another attack, and hundreds of archers on the walls shot arrows together and fell into the opposing positions. Many people fell to the ground screaming, but many more still stepped forward to charge.

Yang Xuanning looked at everything in front of him coldly, and his heart was not moving.

To this day, the casualties of the war are just numbers for him, and he watches the black smoke inside and outside the city, and tens of thousands of hostile people are fighting offensive and defensive battles to the death.

"Your Majesty, our army has 3,000 cavalry, do you want to charge into battle?" asked Li Chunfeng.

"Virtuous brother Shao'an is not impatient. Yang Xuanning sneered, pondered for a while, and then took his opinion, personally drew his sword, and ordered the cavalry to come, and in not much time, two thousand five hundred horsemen came out of the barracks, and the five hundred personal horsemen converged together.

Yang Xuanning snorted coldly in his heart, and the first horse rushed down, and the three thousand war horses galloped like the sea, which suddenly changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and also made the two warring parties see it.

How fast the war horse is, rushing forward, breaking the saber a little yellow light, clearly visible on the battlefield, the wind and rain are carried up by the sword, and they are separated in front of them.

"Boom!" another flash of lightning streaked not far away.

The enemy also reacted spontaneously, and thousands of horsemen greeted him.

In the direction of the long knife, a horse fell backwards from the war horse, blood splattered.

The enemy's sword was broken, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and everywhere he went, there was not a single round of the sword.

Suddenly, a spear stabbed from the right side, the wind was whistling, showing that the other party was an extraordinary master, Yang Xuanning's heart was cold, and the side rider arrived, and between the lightning and fire, the three enemy riders were immediately killed.

The general roared angrily, rushed forward, and stabbed a shot at Yang Xuanning, this shot was no trick, but it gave rise to a fierce and tragic momentum, and it was the battle spirit of thousands of horses and thousands of troops to the death.

"Qin Qiong, it's you!" Yang Xuanning saw that he was stabbing at such a fierce general, knowing that there was no way to retreat, so he gathered all his strength at the moment, waved his hand and rushed forward, and the knife was yellow

Dasheng.

At this moment, the battlefield shouted killing, arrows broke through the air, and horses' hooves shook, all of which were automatically ignored, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

The others, although they did not disappear, automatically turned into insignificant shadows, and only Qin Qiong in front of them and his every slight movement were left.

Qin Qiong's expression was calm, almost cold, this was a battle-hardened general, almost comparable to the lethality of the grandmaster-level, a spear

With an extremely fast and mysterious attitude, he stabbed straight in, which is really his pinnacle work.

The swords and guns collided, and there was a bang.

Both of them were shocked, and the horses under them suddenly neighed, the only difference was that Qin Qiongdi's horses fell to the ground and were still struggling, while Yang Xuanning's horses were shattered everywhere, and there was no even a scream.

Just now, a real force with powerful lethality rushed up, and Yang Xuan condensed the day, and drained his strength on his horse, so that it had such an effect. Even so, his face turned red, apparently with some internal injuries.

And Qin Qiong rolled backwards, blood splashed in his mouth.

In an instant, the entire battlefield returned to reality, seeing this situation, a cavalry immediately turned over and dismounted, and gave the horse to the king, Yang Xuanning jumped on the horse and clamped the horse's belly.

And Qin Qiong was a little miserable. With a roar of rage, he swept his horse off the ground, turned on his horse, and went straight back.

As soon as the battle began, it was really a rivalry between the two of them, and they were all injured.

If you kill him, you can kill the person. And break through the enemy army, but at this moment, Yang Xuanning sneered, looked around at the bloody battlefield, stopped the pursuit, and saw the earth-shattering cheers coming from the city. Yang Xuanning knew that the purpose had been accomplished, and with a sneer, he turned back and led the cavalry. Returned to the barracks.

Obviously, this was beyond the expectations of the enemy army, and as Yang Xuanning retreated into the barracks, the enemy's attack suddenly stopped. It didn't take long for the clouds to clear and the sun to appear in the middle of the sky, shining on the killing battlefield where corpses were strewn and blood flowed everywhere.

Yang Xuanning put on new clothes in his spare time, and at this moment, Li Chunfeng stepped forward to ask for guilt with a face full of shame.

At this time, on an April day, the grass begins to green and the trees begin to shade. This internal injury is nothing, Yang Xuanning collected his mind and slowly walked up to the high platform.

"You finally get the idea. At this time, the enemy's masters, all in Shen Faxing's army, this is the last chance, our side is such a rapid reinforcement, exhausted, immediately fell into the scheme, I already knew this, so slowly came. ”

"When I arrived at the battlefield, I didn't believe that Shen Faxing's army didn't know anything at all, I would rather know that our army was approaching, and he still put on a fierce siege of the city, which was really ridiculous, wasn't he afraid of a two-sided attack and immediately collapsed, this must be a trap. ”

"Qin Qiong betrayed me, and personally attacked, to provoke my anger, if I rushed in at that time, I can know, what so-called grandmaster and holy monk, all waiting somewhere to deal a fatal blow to me, now my inheritance, all in my body, kill me, immediately fall apart. ”

"Besides, even if I miscalculated, there is no trap, it doesn't matter, I am already the king, how can I learn to charge ahead?" Yang Xuanning said casually: "Because of your father's injury, you were angry for a while, and you were angry, which is understandable, and you should be more cautious in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

In fact, Sui'an County is not bad, and the houses are continuous, but at this time, thick smoke is everywhere.

Yang Xuanning sighed and said: "It's not okay not to attack, the city is hard to defend, we must be encouraged, in order to continue to persevere, our army is still too small in number, only 10,000, camp and wait, in a few days, the other counties have been reorganized The army will come in response to the order, at that time, Shen Faxing only has one way to retreat, this is only a matter of a few days." ”

After a pause, he sighed and said: "Sui'an back and forth, although it is only a short month, but the people are really poor, after I enter the city, I will personally guard it, with me here, although Du Fuwei, and Shen Faxing can not enter, and Xin'an, Jiujiang, Luling, Linchuan, Jiangxia, Jingling, the generals of each faction, can go down the day." ”

"Congratulations to the king on his great deeds. Li Chunfeng said.

"Don't think about it, what does the gentleman think about my rent regulation, and how is the cabinet carrying it out?"

The modulation of rents is a system of servitude based on the implementation of the equalization system.

First of all, Ding men over the age of 16 are each given 15 acres of Yongye land (private land) and 50 acres of public land. This is mainly because at this time the south was still sparsely populated, a large amount of land was not developed, and some were fields, while the old men and the disabled received 30 acres of public land, and widows and concubines received 20 acres of public land.

The industrialists and merchants, the officials (who were captured and captive) were given half of the land, and the slaves and maids of the tribe were not allowed to be landed.

After the grant of land, this system stipulates that all households with equal land, regardless of the amount of land granted by their family, shall pay a fixed amount of taxes and serve a certain amount of forced labor.

The specific content is that every ding must pay to the state two stones of millet every year, which is called rent; pay two zhang of silk, three taels of cotton, two zhang and five feet of cloth, and three catties of hemp, which is called a tune; and serve 20 days of conscription, which is for regular service; if the state does not need his service, he can pay the standard of three feet of silk or three feet of cloth seven inches and five cents of cloth per day

The amount of the substitute service, which is called Yong. If the state requires his service, he shall be exempted from transfer and serve for an additional thirty days if he is required to serve for an additional fifteen days. The rent is free of charge. In the event of a serious natural disaster such as floods and droughts, more than four-tenths of the crop loss will be exempted from rent, more than six-tenths of the loss will be exempted, and more than seven-tenths of the loss will be exempted.

As for the range of D, men aged 16 to 50 are

The second was the regulation of the aristocratic bureaucracy to receive land

Titles, from the prince, the prince of the county, the founding prince (gong), the founding marquis (marquis), the founding uncle (uncle), the founding son (son), the founding man (male), and the national scholar

Inherited from the hereditary field, 20,000 acres for the prince, 15,000 acres for the prince, 10,000 acres for the prince, 8,000 acres for the Hou, 6,000 acres for the uncle, 3,000 acres for the son, and 1,500 acres for the male. Three hundred acres

Officials, from the first product to the ninth grade, are subject to Yongye field (private land), the ninth product gets 50 acres of land, the eighth product gets 100 acres of land, the seventh product gets 150 acres, and the sixth product gets 200 acres. The fifth product gets 300 acres of land, the fourth product gets 500 acres, the third product gets 600 acres, the second product gets 800 acres, the first product gets 1,000 acres, and the loose officials receive half of the Yongye field - that is, as soon as they become officials, they can get private land without corruption (of course. This is only the opening period, and there will not be so many benefits in the future).

is different from many people who fight local tyrants and divide the land regardless of the era as soon as they go back. Yang Xuanning thinks that now, it should be a large amount of land, but now a large amount of land has not been developed, and some of it is wasteland.

As long as officials come to become officials, they also have a large amount of land distribution, and this kind of treatment is really quite good, and it has also attracted and rallied many people to take refuge, and attracted a large number of small and medium-sized landlords and intellectuals to take refuge.

Because of the granting of land according to Ding, a large number of hidden households hidden in the people will automatically jump out. This was of great benefit to the statistics and expansion of the scope of government mobilization and taxation, and more importantly, the tenants of the tribe did not grant land. This suppressed the powerful and the clan, and used interests to push them to divide the family.

"The cabinet and my father are very good, but in order to achieve this goal, we must first measure the land and population, so we can't complete it this spring, maybe it can be completed by next year's spring ploughing!" Li Chunfeng said this, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Well, the grant of land should be done in accordance with the yellow register of household registration, and it should be carefully coordinated, and the government, the land sacrifice hall, and the village elders should cooperate well, and implement a group of five households, a team of ten households, a village of one hundred households, and one township of five households, and comprehensively rectify the population and land below the county level, and there must be no omissions. Yang Xuanning said cautiously.

Of course, he knew that without radio and automobiles, it was decided that the ruler of a large territory like China would not be able to go directly to the countryside, and perhaps it would be effective for a while, and with the expansion of the territory, the local tycoons and village elders would still occupy the position of the actual leaders of the villages, but with this organization, many things would be much easier.

Originally, in history, the Song and Yuan dynasties had this establishment, which is not special, the key is to strengthen the war machine, expand the source of taxes, and of course, it is also to prepare for the purge of the Hu sect and the Jianghu forces in the future.

The problem is that after the confrontation between the north and the south, in fact, there are several forces in the north that are fighting each other, and even if the north is unified by the Li valve, the contradiction between the Turks and the Li valve will jump into the mainstream.

Even if it is a family of Hu people, but it controls the north, it will naturally have sharp contradictions with the Turks, just like on the steppe, two powerful tribes naturally cannot coexist.

The last time I despised Xiaoqiang's stupidity, as long as I controlled the south, then Li Valve naturally had to fight with the Turks, as long as I waited for the rest of my time, not only a large number of displaced people poured into the south, but also there was no south, relying on the north alone, and we had to guard against the Li Valve in the south, dividing the troops into two places, ignoring the beginning and tail, and unable to completely solve the Turks, and the two sides naturally had only one way to fight a war of attrition.

In this way, isn't it the south that will benefit? When the vitality of Li Valve and the Turks is greatly damaged, they can raise a million divisions to go south in one fell swoop and unify the world, and the only thing to worry about is actually only two points.

The first is horses, the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, unparalleled in the world before modern times, but if the horses were lost, even if the north was in turmoil, there was no capital to participate, let alone take it down.

The second is that once it is prosperous, if it enters the second and third generations of emperors, it will be over, and the wind will be prosperous and the martial wind will be bleak, so it must be completed in Yang Xuanning's life.

To achieve this great cause, the horses of the single Pegasus Ranch are not enough, and if you want to learn horse politics and law, you are afraid that the current foundation is unstable and the people will lose money, so you must also discuss with the cabinet.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng respectfully stepped forward and saluted, and then replied: "After the chaos, it is easy to teach, just like a hungry person is easy to eat, the king implements this kind of rent regulation, and controls the population and land of the world. ”

Yang Xuanning was stunned, pointed at him, laughed, but thought in his heart, now Li Valve's face is green, this is the Tang Dynasty at that time, the elite thought several times, and the monarch and the ministers came up with a policy of going against the sky, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would not have pacified the place so quickly, and restored and prospered, and now it is used by itself in advance, I don't know what will happen in the future?
