Chapter 117: Good News
"Canonized Pei Renji as the county guard of Hedong, Yao Junsu as the county guard, and led an army of 50,000 to sit in Hedong County; Mai Mengcai was the county guard of Wencheng Inspection School, commanding 10,000 troops; Xue Wanshu was the commander of Longquan County, commanding 10,000 troops; Qian Jie was the county guard of the school and commanded 10,000 troops; Wang Cong guarded the county for Lou and commanded 10,000 troops; Gao Junya guarded the county of Mayi, commanding 20,000 troops...... Wang Wei was the county guard of Taiyuan and commanded 20,000 troops...... Yang Shanhui moved to Hanoi County and commanded 30,000 troops; Wang Wei moved to Ji County and guarded the county, commanding 20,000 troops ......!
"And the five inner counties of Jiangjun, Changping, Linfen, Shangdang, Xihe, and Yanmen are selected from Jizhou Tongshou, and the whole territory of Bingzhou is selected from Jizhou County Orders and County Cheng! The county commanders of the whole territory are served by the county chiefs of Jizhou, and the adjutants at all levels are selected from the reserve officials. ”
"The vacant county guard in Jizhou is served by the general guard! The county is promoted to a general guard, and the county is selected from the county order! Vacant officials in the county shall be promoted by one level according to the rank of the remaining regular officials, and those who are insufficient shall be selected from the reserve officials......"
"After the officials who took office in Bingzhou, they immediately implemented the militia training policy, immediately counted the population and land in the whole territory, redistributed it according to the Jizhou policy, and implemented the tax system of 'apportionment into mu'! But there are those who disobey, expelled from the country, and those who resist, who will be killed. ”
No mercy!
It's full of eye-wrenching momentum and chills.
With the end of the Battle of Hedongcheng and the end of the Bingzhou War, the northern land on both sides of Taihang and the north bank of the Yellow River was finally unified in the hands of Yang Tong.
After Yang Tong promulgated a series of personnel appointments in Hedong City, he led the replenished Fifth Army and the remaining army to escort Li Shentong, Li Shuliang, Li Deliang, Duan Lun and other important prisoners back to Yecheng.
From the thief's Wenxi Pei family, all the felons were beheaded, and the rest of the men, women and children were all given to Yang Qi on the other side of the Yellow River.
Whether Pei's family can be revived again depends on the will of God.
The current Southern Sui infighting is very powerful, the relationship between Yang Qi and Zheng Wang Shichong is very tense, and Pei is a staunch supporter of Yang Qi, if Wang Shichong wins the victory, it is estimated that the end will not be much better, with the style of the murderous maniac, it is rare not to slaughter Pei, but all this has nothing to do with Yang Tong.
On the side of the Yellow River, which flows eastward, Yang Tong, who is heading east along the Yellow River, looks at the turbulent water of the Yellow River, and a sense of pride and ambition comes to his heart.
"Husband, do you want to recite a poem?" And the water Tianji who rode away asked with a crisp smile.
"Okay!" Yang Tong laughed.
Shui Tianji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, Shen Guang, Zhang Zhenzhou, Wang Wei, Xue Wanshu and others expressed their expectations.
"The water of the Yellow River is long and long, and it is really yellow and yellow of TN... Long and long, yellow and yellow, how crazy are you? It can be seen that Lao Tzu wants to scold his mother. ”
A 'Yellow Poem'
Let everyone be stunned for a moment!
Then there was a burst of laughter.
"Report to Your Highness!" At this moment, a group of messengers rode up.
"Say!" Yang Tong, who was full of poetry, waved his hand, and his momentum was generous.
"Li Shangshu is in a hurry!" The scout delivered an urgent message.
Yang Tong took it apart and took a look, but it was Li Jing's good news for conquering Taiyuan.
"Okay, what a pharmacist Li, he has also brought down Taiyuan City! The Battle of Bingzhou ended successfully! And the state was completely recovered. ”
Facing the Yellow River, Yang Tong shouted: "Taiyuan recovered, the Great Sui is mighty!" ”
"Taiyuan recovered, the Great Sui is mighty!"
After a brief silence, the generals and the soldiers nearby cheered in unison.
"Taiyuan recovered, the Great Sui is mighty!"
"Taiyuan recovered, the Great Sui is mighty!"
A sound was passed on to each other by the whole army, and in the end, it converged into an earth-shattering roar.
Taiyuan, the first city in the state, can be called a war.
Although Taiyuan fell into the hands of Li Tang, there were still more than 1,000 Wang Wei and Gao Junya's old troops in the city, who were ordered to lurk in Taiyuan City to prepare for the recovery of Taiyuan.
Three days ago, Li Jing and Li Jing gathered heavy troops in the east and north of Taiyuan City! These soldiers loyal to the Great Sui took the opportunity to capture the southern part of the city, where the defense was weakest.
The defenders were infighting, and Pei Xingyan and Su Dingfang led light cavalry into the city.
Fierce fighting broke out in the south of the city of Taiyuan.
More than half an hour later, Xue Wanche led 20,000 cavalry to arrive and inflicted heavy losses on the recalcitrant Tang army, which really took Taiyuan City.
This battle lasted for half a day and one night, and more than 46,000 soldiers and civilians died in the city of Taiyuan, and the fire in the city burned down half of the city of Taiyuan.
And these losses were caused by the leaders of the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Wen clan who were loyal to Li Tang.
For these recalcitrant people, of course Yang Tong can't let them have a good time.
The messenger said: "Your Highness! Lord Shangshu needs your reply. ”
"Good!" Yang Tong saw that he was very young, as thin as a bamboo pole, he really didn't know where Li Jing found the "genius", and the accompanying soldiers were also muddy all over their faces, so he ordered to the left and right: "Give these brothers dry food and water, and replace them with war horses......
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The messengers thanked them excitedly.
Yang Tong saw that Fang Xuanling had already dismounted to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly gave Li Jing an order: to bring Pei Lin and other thieves, as well as Li Yuan's sister, brother-in-law, and nephew to Yecheng, and the other recalcitrant Taiyuan Wang clan and Taiyuan Wen clan were all killed.
After finishing writing, he took out the heirloom jade seal he carried with him and slammed it on.
The jade seal of the country has now become his personal seal.
Looking at the content of the edict, the corners of Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched, and he didn't expect that as soon as he took Taiyuan, Yang Tong would have a bad hand against the Taiyuan Wang clan and many scholars, this Taiyuan Wang clan is one of the five surnames and seven sects, and the largest scholar clan in the state.
However, Yang Tong didn't have the slightest scruples.
The biggest weapon of the scholar clan is the countless talents who govern the local counties and counties, and the Han scholars are indeed inconspicuous compared to the major scholars gathered together because they are scattered all over the place, but there are tens of millions of ordinary people in the Great Sui, and under this huge population base, there will always be talents in 100,000 counties and counties.
There are many talented Han scholars of this level, and Yang Tong has a lot of them in Yecheng, so all the family-oriented scholars do not support it, which is actually not important to Yang Tong at all.
In the Battle of Taiyuan.
The Taiyuan Wang family, the Taiyuan Wen family and other scholars and family lords who were close to the Li family resisted very resolutely, resulting in half of Taiyuan City being burned and more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians killed. Although there were not many casualties among the Cheng army, Yang Tong was still very angry with these broken things.
He was supposed to settle accounts after the fall, and now the reason is even more sufficient.
In fact, the so-called five surnames and seven sects are simply vulnerable in the face of power.
Just like Cui Hao in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was not only an old minister, but also the head of the Cui family, and married with other five surnames, which can be said to be extremely noble, but the emperor said that he would kill him, and he would kill him. No one else dared to put a fart.
In Yang Tong's view, the five surnames and seven sects are like the Wuyue Sword Sect, between life and death, everyone will choose to protect themselves, once Yang Tong kills the Taiyuan Wang family, who will dare to speak for them in the counties under his rule? As for people in other places, just say it, and they won't die anyway.
Therefore, as long as the imperial court has a way to replace the scholars headed by the five surnames and seven sects, they have no way to take the imperial court.
"Your Royal Highness, the Taiyuan Wang family is a centuries-old brand, and it has developed into many branches today. The minister suggested that His Highness should only pursue those who resisted, and that the others should either be expelled or dispersed and sent to the border counties to undergo 30 years of labor reform, and to build the Great Wall and roads. Fang Xuanling suggested.
"Except for Li Yuan's sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and niece, the other villains were all beheaded for public display! The children of each family were scattered and exiled to Xiangping, Shuangliao, Baitan, and Lushun counties as official slaves, and built roads for a lifetime, except for clothes, everything was deprived and confiscated, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains. As for the woman, let Li Jing be married to the unmarried soldier! Come to him for a group wedding......"
This is the heaviest punishment for the Taiyuan Wang clan, Taiyuan Wen clan and other merge state clans, and deliberately let the merge state clan see Yang Tong's dislike of them! The next step will be the confiscation of the land of the local officials from the families and scholars of the state! At that time, if they don't want to go, Yang Tong will force them to go.
In a word, Lao Tzu just doesn't welcome you people to eat things inside and out.
After writing the reply again, everyone continued to march east along the river.
