Dushanbo didn't care about government affairs and running the country. He also knew that he was far inferior to Zhang Kuan in terms of running the country. After beating Zhang Kuan, Dushanbo asked to send troops to the north of the country to rescue Jincheng. Originally, Dushanbo thought that the prince who was supervising the country would come immediately.
Allowed, but unexpectedly Xuanyuan Zixun
However, he summoned the left and right prime ministers Zhang Kuan and Wang Cheng, the Minister of War Shi Yong, the Minister of War Yuan Shi Taien, the left minister of the Ministry of Hubu Zhu Lianyi (temporarily acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu), the Minister of Agriculture Song Wei and the other six elders of the Senate, and proposed to negotiate with Wu.
Suggestions for the Huan Alliance Army to end the war.
It turned out that Zhang Kuan had a private discussion with Xuanyuan's son Xiaoye and his grandson, and they believed that under such circumstances, one should not show cowardice and must stick to one's own ideas. Du Shanbo was a soldier, and he didn't like people who were submissive and timid.
In order for him to support the Crown Prince, he must see the tough side of Xuanyuan Zixiao.
It is extremely difficult to balance the balance between letting Uncle Du Shan see his toughness and not angering Uncle Du Shan. Xuanyuan Zixiao is worthy of being the smartest person in the royal family. He analyzed it carefully with Uncle Du Shan without being arrogant or arrogant.
, the late emperor advocated the gradual and gradual annexation of the northern wasteland with culture and people, with the purpose of annexing the entire
To achieve this goal, the late emperor spent twenty-one years from the eighth year of Taiqian to the present, forcing people to guard the border and immigrate, causing many families to be separated from their wives. Although after twenty-one years of hard work,
, the famous Crow Gold Granary was built between Yashan and the Jialan River.
But now it seems that the late emperor did not control the hearts of the foreigners in the north of the Great Wall. The Crow Gold Granary built by the Holy Han Nation belongs to the Tartar people in everyone's eyes. Emperor Taigan spent twenty-one years and hundreds of years.
With a population of 10,000, millions of silver are used to make wedding clothes for others.
Xuanyuan Zixiao's advisor was Shi Taien, who was also the second son of Shi Yong, Minister of War. He suggested that instead of plotting abroad, it would be better to stabilize the country. The hearts of the people of the Holy Han Dynasty were not lost, but if they did not recuperate with the people, it would cause greater civil unrest, and the dynasty would not be preserved.
Stein gave examples of the end of each dynasty. Almost no Central Plains dynasty was directly defeated by foreigners and destroyed the country, but most of them were caused by civil unrest. Stein proposed to give the holy Han ten years to recuperate, and after ten years the national strength would be restored, and he would fully support Dushan
Bo Northern Expedition, captured
Return to the Golden Granary. By bypassing the Tartars and signing an agreement with the Wuhuan Empire without authorization, the Wuhuan people gained a sweet spot, but also caused the Wuhuan people to abandon the Southern Tartar people, alienate the dog barbarians, and even push the Wuhuan people to all
On the opposite side of the Inuyi Kingdom, it can be said that someone is killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Seeing that Du Shanbo and the Senate were hesitant, Zhu Lianyi, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said again: "Senior senators and generals, the Ministry of Revenue has been struggling to eat grains in recent years, and has imposed heavy taxes on the Jiangnan area, so it can barely support the battle in the north of Saibei. Now everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River
Rebellions continue, especially the Tianhuo Sect rebels who have occupied dozens of counties and troops are approaching Hangzhou County. If there is no tax burden in Jiangnan next year, I am afraid that we will not even be able to get the money to withdraw money."
Song Wei, the Minister of Agriculture, also took the opportunity to say: "This year's harvest for the people is 30% less than last year, but the tax burden paid is 40% more. I am afraid that there will be refugees next year, and the court must prepare disaster relief grain and silver in advance."
Du Shanbo frowned, and the main war faction was also hesitant.
Right Prime Minister Wang Cheng said that the three-year policy of conscription, taxation and food increases imposed by the late emperor for the sake of the Northern Expedition has led to the people in the country being in dire straits. This year is freezing. Not to mention other state capitals, even Longdu City has already been starved to death.
Nearly a thousand people died. If we continue to fight for the Crow Gold Granary with soldiers and weapons, I am afraid that even if we get the Crow Gold Granary, there will be resentment among the people and the people will rebel.
Shi Yong, the Minister of War, smiled bitterly: "This year, there have been a total of sixty-seven reported civil commotions in the empire's fifteen states and counties, and hundreds of unreported civil commotions. Most of them were caused by increased taxes. The generalissimo may be away from home all year round without knowing it. The inside story is that this year, the Suzaku Legion has almost no free time and has been suppressing bandits all over the country. They are still fighting against the Skyfire Sect rebels in Jiangnan."
Zhang Kuan, the prime minister of the left, said: "The unfaithful campaign in the north was the fault of the late emperor. Now the people of the empire are in dire straits, and the common people have almost no food left. If the war continues, I am afraid that Wuhuan will not be defeated, and civil strife will break out in the country. Moreover, the national treasury is empty, and if the imperial army can be eliminated, I will support the military pay for the Northern Expedition."
The elders also split into two factions, one supported the armistice, and the other took Du Shanbo as the order. Everyone was waiting for Du Shanbo to make a decision.
Du Shanbo was conflicted in his heart. Now that the Dog-barbarian troops were exhausted, the White Tiger Army was ready to attack. It would only take half a year to defeat the Dog-Barbarian coalition and rescue the Jincheng Green Dragon Army. The elders of the Senate also supported Ye Xiangdong to continue his north-north war. They believed that since Tai The war against Wuxin in the north launched by Emperor Qian has lasted for two years, and we must not waste all our efforts at this time. In the past, the Xuanwu Army was defeated in Guandong, but now if the Qinglong Army is defeated in the northern part of the Great Wall, I am afraid that the Holy Han will lose his face, and the country will be prosperous in the future. Become a laughing stock.
However, on the other hand, Du Shanbo also knew that civil commotions occurred in various places last year, and he had accurate data that the Ministry of War did not know. Last year, a total of 570 civil commotions and mutinies occurred in the Holy Han Empire, of which nine were mutinies. Thirteen sects, this is why he always keeps the White Tiger Army under the Lianglang Pass. He not only needs to take care of and support the Qinglong Army, but also be alert to domestic civil unrest at all times. If the rebels tend to expand, the White Tiger Army should return troops to quell the rebellion. .However, fortunately, the Suzaku Army was able to suppress the rebellion effectively. Although there were many civil unrests in various places, there was no tendency to expand. As a result, the Holy Han Empire did not fall into national chaos.
At this time, the prince's intention to end the war and recuperate with the people "accidentally" spread outside the palace. Not surprisingly, the military marshal Dushan Boye Xiangdong was stubborn and belligerent against the people's livelihood, and it also spread to the ears of the common people. middle.
The common people in the city danced with joy after hearing that the Prince of the Prison Kingdom decided to stop the Northern Expedition and abolish heavy taxes. Some people even knelt on the ground and cried, saying why the Prince of the Prison Kingdom did not ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor earlier, so that his son would not have to die tragically in the north of the Great Wall. .
In the capital, scholar scholars also wrote articles praising his virtues. The prince in charge of the country was considerate of the people, and he was indeed a famous emperor through the ages. The people also heard that Du Shanbo and other military veterans wanted to continue the war, so they went to Bo Ye's Mansion to protest, and even surrounded him. When I stayed at Uncle Ye's house, I yelled "murderer" and other obscene words loudly.
Du Shanbo naturally knew who was behind this popular uprising caused by exploiting people's hearts. However, the civil servants opposed it, the people protested, and the emperor did not support it. The people yearned for peace, and military generals alone could not support the continuation of the war. He thought again and again, and finally Decided to end the war and negotiate.
This was the first victory that Xuanyuan Zixiao had in the fight against Du Shanbo, and this victory was clean, transparent, and upright, without any help from Zhang Dang. Even Zhang Kuan was overjoyed that his grandson had finally grown up.
At this time, Wei Yuan, a student of Zhang Kuan, a confidant of Shi Yong, the Minister of War, and the commander of the silver-clad guards of Longdu City, was shot to death at home by random arrows. All thirty-six members of Wei Yuan's family were murdered, and the whole Longdu became tense again.
