"The imperial court's original plan was to appease the tribes that moved westward and make them surrender. However, the tribes of the Western Qiang did not know how to restrain themselves. They massacred our people in the Song Dynasty, killed our border guards, and robbed our Pingyuan stronghold! How could this be the hatred of the country and the family?
Give it up?!
Today we besiege Pingyuan Stronghold, tomorrow we can besiege this Fucheng Stronghold, and the day after that we can besiege Anhua City and even the entire Qingzhou! This is not an act of revenge, but an act of protecting our family and country! We, the soldiers and civilians of the Han family, have the unshirkable duty to punish the rebels together.
Together we protect our country! From today on, all soldiers in Fuchengzhai must be registered so that they can be rewarded for their military merits. The same goes for the people in Fuchengzhai, who can offset the two taxes!"
After Ye An finished speaking, a group of clerical clerks appeared. They were originally the swordsmen and pen clerks in Fucheng Village, but now they became the temporary registration officers recruited by Ye An. They repeated Ye An's words loudly with a serious expression on their faces, and they suddenly
It made the entire Fuchengzhai soldiers and civilians feel excited.
Only Chen Lin looked at Ye An in shock. He didn't expect this kid to open such a big hole. As for Cao Yi, she nodded secretly, pulled Chen Lin who was about to step forward and whispered: "Only rely on family and country."
How can people die for their righteousness? It still needs some benefits. Besides, Ye Hou has already said this. If you dare to deny it, do you believe that this guy can turn you, the servant, into a powerful eunuch that everyone can kill with just one sentence?
"
Looking at the passionate soldiers and civilians, Chen Lin swallowed hard and stopped stepping forward. Cao Yi was right. As long as she dared to speak, she would be torn into pieces by these angry soldiers and civilians...
Ye An was actually taking advantage of the situation. Of course he wanted to consolidate his power and at the same time mobilize the army to stabilize the situation in Huanzhou.
Although he is the deputy pacifier, his responsibility lies there. What he hopes is not to gain power, but to stabilize Huanzhou as soon as possible. After all, this pacifier of Huanzhou's size is a one-stop existence and cannot last long.
Take office.
As for the credit... Fan Yong, who is the physical comfort envoy, must be the biggest, and Cao Yi is no less. As for himself, he is more of a foil... From the beginning, Ye An felt that this was Liu E's "bet"
Just a trick.
If Huanzhou is stable, Ganliang and Gansu are stable. If Ganliang and Ganzhou are stable, the Song Dynasty will still have influence on the Western Regions. Who would have thought that the Song Dynasty was still doing business in the Western Regions at this time. Although it was suppressed by the party, its commercial activities were still tenacious.
The presence.
Human desires are powerful. As long as the trade route is not cut off, even if there is only a gap, capital will take root and sprout from this gap and eventually thrive.
Ye An did not want the Song Dynasty to lose this trade route. Once it was lost, the market leading to the west would be completely monopolized by the party members, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Deming is smart, and Ye An even wants to meet this economically minded party leader.
Once he completed the invasion or annexation of the Western Regions and captured the Gansu and Liangzhou states of the Song Dynasty, he completely blocked the Song Dynasty's commercial exchanges with the west.
Why did the Dangxiang people of later generations repeatedly harass the borders of the Song Dynasty? But as soon as the Song Dynasty opened up the market, the Dangxiang people stopped? Of course, it was for profit. The Dangxiang people were different from the Liao people. They were completely nomadic people. They could only rely on grazing and farming.
Commerce can continuously replenish national strength, and of course there is robbery, but robbery will kill people!
In this way, Ye An seemed to understand the essence of the matter. Whether it was the Huanzhou Rebellion or the Dangxiang's invasion of the Western Regions, it was all a "big move" planned by Li Deming, a big move that could allow Dangxiang to gain a firm foothold in the northwest.
That's why Ye An tried his best to thwart his conspiracy and never let the party members annex Gansu and Liangzhou.
In Ye An's thinking, Huanzhou is no longer the focus, the focus is to preserve the Western Region. His previous dialogue with Roxana was to give the Western Region a little hope, but also to give the Western Region a little despair, hoping that the Xizhou Uighurs would see the current situation clearly and work hard to resist.
Party invasion.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Ye An will never forget this wise saying.
In this way, although the battle situation in Huanzhou is not important, it is still the key point, and it is still the reason why Ye An has trouble sleeping and eating.
Before parting with Fan Yong, Ye An once had a deep talk with him about all this. Fan Yong was frightened at that time, or rather shocked. As the former third envoy of the Song Dynasty, he knew too well the impact of the Western Regions trade routes on the Song Dynasty.
, Party items, the importance of the Western Regions.
Because of this, he began to reconsider Ye An's idea, which was a bold and crazy idea. In the end, he chose the default method and passed the so-called risk onto Ye An.
This was expected by Ye An. Even though Fan Yong gave the gift guiltily, Ye An still laughed heartlessly. He didn't care about sharing the failure. What he wanted was this rare opportunity...
…
Chen Lin felt that Ye An was making a huge gamble, which was betting on his future, an official career that was regarded as life by civil servants.
Chen Lin has seen too many literati who have to give up their ambitions in order to move forward steadily, and very few people can use their career to make such a big gamble.
This is probably because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, right? Chen Lin suddenly understood why the empress was so optimistic about Ye An and was willing to reuse him. The reason was that this young man was not as shy as ordinary courtiers!
He, Ye An, could not think of those ministers who had experienced officialdom in the court. No one was willing to stand up and do such risky things.
He is the only one who is successful as a young man, Ye An, and is not afraid of personal gains and losses, so he dares to give it a try!
At this time, even Chen Lin herself felt a little guilty. When did the Song Dynasty need a young man to stand up and eliminate disasters for the country?!
Ye An's impassioned words and the inducement of profit completely made the soldiers and civilians of Fuchengzhai willing to contribute to the Huanzhou Rebellion. After all, there are glorious military achievements there, and rewards are inevitable. As for paying off the two taxes, Grandpa Tian, this
It is almost something that farmers cannot even imagine.
Unless there is a catastrophic disaster, when will the imperial court exempt the two taxes? Not too much, as long as the summer and autumn taxes can be exempted for two years, ordinary people can slow down during the New Year greetings and save food and money, which is enough for ordinary farmers.
People have become small landowners!
Ye An is the deputy envoy of comfort and comfort. No one thinks that his words are empty words or lies. If such a noble official speaks in front of everyone, then the imperial court is speaking!
In the future, if any official dares to say that the summer and autumn taxes cannot be paid, the common people will be the first to refuse, and they will even go to Jingzhao Mansion to seek justice!
Ye An led his army to leave. When he left, the number of troops increased from 2,000 to more than 3,500. The extra 1,000 people were Longxi men who wanted to make contributions.
It is hard to imagine that Ye An, driven by the righteousness and interests of his family and country, was able to recruit more than a thousand soldiers from a small Fucheng village. This shocked Cao Yi and Chen Lin far more than him quelling the Yuan village with troops.
Recruiting more than a thousand soldiers is an unimaginable thing. Moreover, they are from Longxi who are proud and good at fighting. It is impossible for ordinary generals to control them.
