Section 2: The Crisis of Pastoral Serfs
Li Er's roar can be heard outside the Hall of the People, and Pei Du, who took the lead, has already thrown off the saddle and dismounted, and rushed up the steps of the palace in a few steps, and reported loudly before entering the door: "Your Majesty, don't worry, just leave this matter to the last general, the last general will definitely slaughter his city, destroy his country, and burn his ancestral temple to vent his anger!"
When Yun Ye strode into the main hall, he saw Pei Du's face happy, winking at his group, Li Er stood behind the dragon case, holding the case with both hands, the crown on his head shook badly, he must have been angry just now.
The so-called lord humiliates the death of his ministers, and at this time, more than a dozen people knelt down on one knee together and begged the emperor to give an order to eliminate the fool who brought the emperor's anger.
"Zhu Qing is flat, there are people who can fight well, and I don't have to worry about it." Li Er calmed the generals, and his anger seemed to subside a little.
Yun Ye is very strange, the current territory of the Tang Dynasty is a bit too large, counting those automatic investment in the state of bondage, the land in the north has crossed the North Sea, due west is Persia, the northeast is the Yan Zhu, the southwest is Tianzhu and Tubo, there are no neighbors in the south, it was killed by Yun Ye, the east is the Wa State across the sea, and there is only Silla and small Baekje left on the Korean Peninsula, who else can make Li Er so angry?
If there is any bad dynamics at the border, he, the head of the military department, should be the first to know, why don't he know anything? Now people all over the world are avoiding Datang, and whoever is full of food will go to pick Datang's tiger whiskers.
"Yun Ye, do you know who the commander of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is?" Li Er's gloomy voice rang out.
Yun Ye hurriedly stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, since I pacified Gaochang, the Anxi Metropolitan Protector has always been Qiao Shiwang, the Commander of the Horse Guard, and he has been the Commander of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate for four years. ”
Li Er nodded and said, "How is the evaluation of Qiao Shiwang by the Ministry of War's Examination Division?" ”
"Back to His Majesty, Qiao Shiwang has been guarding Anxi, although he has not advanced an inch. But he has never lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he has never lost an inch of land, so the evaluation of him by the Ministry of War is Zhongping. ”
"It's fair, people's livelihood is not in the evaluation of your military department, so Qiao Shiwang's fault has nothing to do with your military department, you should step down." Li Er was noncommittal after hearing Yun Ye's answer.
Livelihood? Yun Ye unexpectedly got the word people's livelihood from Li Er's mouth. Where did Anxi come from, except for Turpan, the governing place of Anxi, the rest is all in Jianzhou, although there have been students from the academy who have gone there over the years, their main purpose is to exploit, not to send warmth to the people of Khotan and Qiuci, where does the word people's livelihood start?
Qiao Shiwang only needs to subdue those fetters and prevent them from standing on their own. Ensuring the smooth flow of business is a great achievement, can the people's livelihood and him stand on the side? If Lao Qiao is unlucky because of people's livelihood problems, it will be really unlucky.
"Fang Xuanling, you can explain the affairs of the Western Regions to all Aiqing, and let them know what our army has done in the Western Regions over the years, and it is best for them to take warning.
Fang Xuanling walked out from the left and came to the front of the generals and said bitterly: "Since the eighth year of Zhenguan, Hou Junji pacified Gaochang, I have continued to use troops against Anxi, Tuguhun. Xue Yantuo and Hui retreated one after another. Khotan, Qiuzi, Gu Dayue, Shule, and Yanqi are all in the hands of our dynasty, however. Only four years have passed, and the Gu Dayue clan has disappeared, and the population of Qiuzi is 400,000, and now it is less than 100,000. Curled up in Kuqa and complained.
The fate of the people in Khotan is slightly better, mainly because there is a lot of pearls and jade, as long as they pay heavy taxes, they can survive, as for the Yanqi country, there have been six kings in four years, plus Loulan, who suddenly disappeared some time ago, I don't know if the generals can be indifferent when they hear these things? “
"It's none of our business." Hearing that it was not a foreign invasion, a group of generals immediately lost interest, Pei Du replied in a low voice in the crowd, this is right, if the Han people are so unlucky, these people carry their heads to see the king, it is inevitable, now since it is a group of savages who don't know where they have suffered these tragic things, it really can't resonate much.
As long as it is not a crime of losing a teacher and humiliating the country, who will pay attention to what happened in distant Anxi, at least Yun Ye said clearly in his letter to Qiao Shiwang that the people of the academy went to investigate the secret of Loulan's disappearance, not for you Anxi Duhufu, but to see what caused the disappearance of the Loulan people, they had already disappeared once a few years ago, and now they have disappeared again, is there some conspiracy. Let him take a good look at the people in the academy, and analyze for him that if these people in the academy accidentally disappear, the trouble he Qiao Shiwang faces will not be much better than the extermination of the nine clans, and the people in the capital will not let him go, and whether it has anything to do with him or not, it will be so.
What is the Emperor going to do? He knows all these things, and he will always take the biggest amount of silver, idea, this money is not dedicated to the imperial court, but to the Guanlong Li family, as the patriarch of the Guanlong Li family, Li Er can't not know that these silver are stained with blood, why did he suddenly go crazy today?
Fang Xuanling heard Pei Du's answer, smiled and continued: "If it is customary, it is indeed not a big deal, the old man just wants to ask you now, why are there so many more Hu herdsmen in Henan?" The pastures there are often 100 miles, or even more than 300 miles, can you tell the old man whose family he belongs to? ”
The Hetao is a military important place in the south of the desert. The Yellow River becomes a big bend through this, and the Qin and Han Dynasty call Henan; Since the Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall of Yulin, it was called Hetao. Its scope includes: the southwestern part of the present-day Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the northeastern part of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and parts of northern Shaanxi Province. The north passes outside the plug, the south is bordered by Guanzhong, the west is adjacent to Ganliang, and the east is connected with Youyan, which is the northern fence of Chang'an, and the side barrier of Yanjing.
The Hetao area has been inhabited by many ethnic groups since ancient times. Warring States belongs to Zhao. Qin belongs to Jiuyuan, Beidi and other counties. Han belongs to Shuofang, Wuyuan, Xihe and other counties. The Western Jin Dynasty was the land of Qianghu. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu founded the country according to this, called Xia. Tang belongs to the Kannai Road.
The three words of Guannei Dao are enough to illustrate the problem, Hu Ren's biggest dream in his life is to be able to invade Guannei Dao, and now he doesn't have to invade, and he was directly brought into Guannai Dao by those greedy people who don't know whether to live or die.
Guannei Road can be called the front yard of the Tang Dynasty, and now there are countless beards who hate the Tang Dynasty sleeping next to the couch, no wonder Li Er will be angry, as long as you count them, you will know that the beard that can stuff the entire Henan land (the ancient name of the Hetao) is less than 300,000 in total.
"Yun Ye, how many documents have you approved from your hands for the entry of foreign races?" Li Er began to torture Yun Ye again, because the Yun family had a very large pasture at the foot of Yin Mountain.
"Your Majesty, Wechen has not approved a single one in his hand, not only has he not approved the Hu people's entry into the Inner Road of the Guan, but Wechen doesn't even want to approve the way for the Goryeo people to enter the capital and surrender, or Your Majesty has strictly ordered Weichen to approve it." Yun Ye looked at Li Er with resentment, as long as this guy thinks of bad things, he has to ask if it has anything to do with him, as if Yun Ye himself is really a bastard who has brought disaster to the country and the people.
Li Er coughed embarrassedly and continued: "It's good if you don't have it, you still have a little loyalty, the Goryeo people and the Hu people entering the inner road of the pass are two different things, not to be confused, now I ask you what to do with the more than 300,000 Hu people in Henan?" Since you put the people in, then give me a charter. ”
Unlucky, he was farming well, and suddenly he was brought to the Wanmin Palace to run official business, this kind of thing is the responsibility of those civil officials, how can he let his group of military attachés figure out a way? Where are those Wenchen? Why does Fang Xuanling close his eyes and don't squeak?
Yun Ye slammed a spirit all over his body, what would a martial artist do? Their greatest skill is to cut people with knives, and the emperor asked the military attaché for advice, didn't he just want to kill people? Could it be that these 300,000 beards can't survive? If the two armies are fighting, no matter how many beards are killed, Yun Ye will not have a psychological burden, the enemy should be eliminated, and now it is 300,000 unarmed herdsmen, Yun Ye can't do it.
Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 soldiers, he was crowned with the title of human slaughter, and finally he had to die well, if he killed 300,000 herdsmen, God knew that Lao Yan's family would write themselves as a brutal person, this matter could not be accepted, how could there be a stupid person who could be a military attache at the level of a general, if it was a war, they would naturally move forward bravely, and now since they wanted to kill the herdsmen, it would be meaningless, besides, they would kill all those herdsmen, and those ranchers in Henan did not hate themselves to death, they did not dare to hate the emperor, All the anger will inevitably be poured out on their heads, which will cause infighting among the military attachés, and these dog-day civil officials are vicious.
The hall was very quiet, Yun Ye played with his fingers, looked up at the pattern on the top of the hall, there was even a story of Meng Mu's three migrations, a large group of bats surrounded Meng Mu, knowing that this was an auspicious pattern, and those who didn't know thought that it was a vampire attacking Meng Mu.
After a long day's work, Yun Ye felt a little tired, and forced himself not to yawn, whoever likes to kill will go, as long as he doesn't go, killing people is not a pleasant job.
"Why, no one worries about me? Pei Du, what did you just say, did you forget about it after just a pillar of incense? Li Er's voice became cloudy again.
Pei Du's whole person immediately turned into a bitter melon, and he knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty: "Qi Qi Xià, if there is an invasion of foreign thieves and internal thieves, Wei Chen's broken bones will also serve His Majesty, but let Wei Chen kill those unarmed herdsmen, Wei Chen really can't do it, please punish His Majesty." Pei Dusi weighed it too much after thinking about it, and felt that it was better to refuse the emperor's request, because offending his colleagues was much more terrible than offending the emperor.
