The entire Hai Mohe clan hid in the Fairy City (Tucheng) in the Saibei Wasteland. Although they temporarily avoided the attack of the Beiyi people, the Fairy City was barren and the land could not support so many people. Therefore, there was no need for the Beiyi people to attack the city.
, after the Mohe people have eaten up all their food, they will starve to death in Saibei.
In order to survive, Ayegubah had to lead the Haimouhe to move westward, but fortunately found that there were no strong forces entrenched around the Yaojin Granary, and only a small number of Tartars came to settle here. Since the Tartars invaded the Central Plains last year, the situation
Nowadays, the Tartars on the grassland have almost no resistance. Ayegubah immediately occupied the Raven Gold Granary and then sent out only 5,000 troops.
Teams went around plundering livestock and robbing people. It only took the Mohe people a month to restore the prosperity of the Yaojin Granary. Ayegubah had 5,000 troops, 50,000 people, and 30,000 slaves, and announced that he would rebuild here.
Mohe Khanate, but in order to remember his ancestor Black Forest, Ayegubah changed the name of the country to Gaia Khanate, and Gaia is the pronunciation of forest in Mohe language.
"How could the Mohe people be so careless?" Zhang Xiaowu was very helpless.
Wu Song said: "No matter how powerful a person is, after internal disintegration, he will inevitably collapse."
Ruan Qingwen said: "It's just that Mohe's decline was too fast. It's hard to believe that they have been fighting the Beiyi and Han armies in the Black Forest for hundreds of years."
Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said: "It was the Mohe Khanate that was wiped out, not the Mohe people. They are now just surrendering under the feet of the Beiyi people. But as time goes by, the character of the Mohe people will definitely not be willing to be the slaves of the Beiyi people.
We continue to wait, waiting for the Mohe people to counterattack. And... now that we are facing Longmen Pass, we have nothing to lose, right?"
The generals laughed, and now they were confronting Quan Yi at Longmen Pass. Instead of losing anything, the Qinglong Army gained a lot of benefits.
As the saying goes, Zhang Xiaowu hijacked an army of 150,000 to confront the dog barbarians in Youzhou. On the one hand, he protected the Central Plains, but on the other hand, he also hijacked a large number of troops for self-protection. The court may have had many reasons.
Due to scruples, Zhang Xiaowu was not reduced in military power. Even in April, when Emperor Dade announced the abolition of the Central Government Office, he promoted Zhang Xiaowu to the rank of Marshal of the World's Military and Horses, leading the Qinglong Army to expel the Dog Yi.
There is no doubt that Emperor Dade chose the safest way to control the situation. After Gu Yong became the right prime minister, he also tried his best to maintain the stability of the court. For Emperor Dade, only those who threaten him are the only ones he can control.
Will he act crazier or more neurotic? And not threaten his people? He will not be abnormal. Maybe
It was because Zhang Xiaowu was sent to the distant Youzhou that Emperor Dade's mental state and body got better and better. He even sent Zhang Xiaowu's family back home, but he still did not allow the people of the Hejian Hou Mansion to contact outsiders.
.The Hejian Hou Mansion is like an isolated island in Longdu. Except for the food and clothing guaranteed by the imperial court, it has no way to contact outsiders.
Zhao Suo was worried about this. Later he found Wang Xiaojian, the leader of the Beggar Gang. With Wang Xiaojian's help, Zhao Suo finally broke into the Hejian Hou Mansion. The person who met Zhao Suo alone was Mang Zhong. Zhao Suo only trusted Mang Zhong?
Tell him: "Everything is fine in the house
, but I don’t know if any of the servants in the mansion have been bribed by Jin Yiwei during this period? So you don’t need to come in again in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the two ladies. Tell the master? Jin Yiwei doesn’t know about the little sister, so naturally he
clear."
After Zhao Suo left, he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Xiaowu.
Zhang Xiaowu read the letter and felt guilty for his family, especially the two wives and Mang Zhong. Fortunately, they had no worries about their lives, food and clothing.
In July, Zhang Xiaowu wrote to Gu Yong, informing his eldest daughter Gu Qingxi that she died of an illness due to a cold infection, acclimatization, and poor medical conditions in the military. He wrote a memorial about the matter and sent it to the palace.
When Gu Yong received the letter, he also received a letter from Gu Ruoxi. When he learned that his eldest daughter had died of illness in Youzhou, he suddenly felt angry and fainted.
Emperor Dade immediately went to Gu Yong's home to comfort his right minister. Gu Yong said with tears in his eyes: "I hurt her, I hurt her."
"For the sake of the grand plan, we still need to be patient! We still need to be patient!" Emperor Dade said, holding Gu Yong's hand.
In August of the fourth year of Dade, good news came from the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Deyue, the puppet emperor of Wu, was assassinated by Tianhuo sect assassins, and the puppet Wu country was destroyed.
Emperor Dade immediately sent Liu Yi to lead the Suzaku Army to take the opportunity to attack Jiangnan. At the end of August, Jiangzhou was recaptured in one fell swoop. At the end of September, the Suzaku Army conquered Yuezhou City and conquered the entire territory of Yuezhou. At this point, the Jiangnan Rebellion that had plagued Jiangnan for ten years began.
, finally subsided.
The news reached Longdu, and the whole country immediately celebrated. Emperor Dade even took a rare sip of wine to celebrate this hard-won victory. However, there was always some disharmony in the celebration. Jiangnan was indeed recovered, but
How to restore Jiangnan has become a major headache for the imperial court. Although the rebels in Jiangnan have been eliminated, scattered or hidden rebels among the people still exist, and the construction of Jiangnan has become a top priority for the imperial court.
The so-called headache is money.
Now the imperial court needs to spend money in three aspects. First, the Qinglong Army far away in Youzhou is guarding in front of Longmen Pass to prevent dog barbarians from going south. Second, the normal expenses of bureaucrats and troops in various places. The third is the reconstruction of Jiangnan. But Quan
When the barbarians entered the Central Plains, they lost all the money Dade had saved with great difficulty in three years.
All the money was spent, and now the court really couldn't come up with any money. Gu Yong was so anxious that half of his hair turned white. Emperor Dade even ordered to stop repairing the harem, but he still couldn't come up with the money. Even the Suzaku Army who regained Jiangnan also got
There were very few rewards, and the Suzaku Army complained endlessly.
Emperor Dade held a court meeting and asked the officials to find a way. Someone suggested Zhang Xiaowu's method, which was to kill corrupt officials and seize family wealth. Although this method is easy to use, it is also the easiest to lose people's hearts. Now Emperor Dade has regained control of the court and gained officials.
The support was because Zhang Xiaowu had offended too many noble families by killing big families. Gu Yong naturally understood the pros and cons and quickly dissuaded him.
At this time, Mudong Hou Linfeng suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, last year the central government ordered the officials to prepare for the establishment of the Imperial Central Bank and return all the minting power of the world to the state. Private minting of copper coins and silver coins is not allowed anywhere."
Gu Yong immediately retorted: "It's nonsense. If the losses of coins in various places are all owned by the central government, then officials from various places will take up a lot of time just transporting silver and copper coins on the road. Don't the officials have to do anything? Do you know the huge amount of money in the world?"
"
Lin Feng said cautiously: "Last year, the central government planned to print banknotes."
"Paper money?" Emperor Dade asked, "What is the difference between these paper money and banknotes? Since we already have banknotes, why do we need banknotes?"
Lin Feng said: "Banknotes are completely different from silver notes. Silver notes are just notes for exchanging silver, while banknotes are silver. The function of banks and banks in various places is to store silver, and the emergence of banknotes means that from now on, the world does not need silver.
Zhuang, because all the money in the world is stored in the treasury, and all the money in the world is used by Your Majesty!"
