Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seventh Stability Maintenance Policy
Cao Yi was already crazy. After seeing the tragic situation at Qingping Pass, he knew that Ye An was at the end of his rope. As a last resort, he ordered the Zhenrong Army to speed up their march, completely ignoring that the Dangxiang army was just around the corner.
ahead.
Compared with the fall of Qingpingguan, if Ye An made a mistake, it would not only trigger the anger of the court, but also discredit the general. Ye An was a civil servant after all, and his reputation for leading the army to achieve such military exploits would surely spread throughout the Song Dynasty.
The civil servants were in great need of a civil servant who could lead troops and command well. Cao Yi knew that the "big turbans" in Tokyo City had regarded Ye An as their "eyeball" and would protect him in every possible way. Fan Yong even gave him a lot of support.
Great military power.
Imagine that such a young talent was lost in Huanzhou. Not to mention his plan to trap the Dangxiang people and Huanzhou, his great achievement of defeating tens of thousands of Xiqiang people was enough to make the world despise him.
Such a crime is not something Zhou Wenzhi can bear. When the time comes, he and his generals will definitely be criticized verbally and writtenly by those literati. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will still have to shed their skin!
At this time, Cao Yi would not be able to do anything without being crazy. If Ye An is still alive, the Dangxiang people are in front. The five thousand Dangxiang army cannot be resisted by the remnants of the Anhua Army. Even with Zhou Wenzhi's Dingbian Army, it is beyond its power.
.
Seeing that Qingping Pass has become like this, it can be seen that Zhou Wenzhi's Dingbian Army has just arrived. Even if they can defeat the Xiqiang people, they cannot compete with the Dangxiang people.
Along the way, the Zhenrong Army captured a lot of defeated Xiqiang troops. These people almost regarded Ye An as an evil spirit. Even when they looked at Qingping Pass, they were full of fear. Some of them even went crazy.
Cao Yi knew the reason very well. Anyone who could not withstand the brutal battlefield would definitely be left with great fear once they escaped.
This further confirmed his speculation. Even if he did not receive direct information from the Anhua Army, he was still restless. Shi Xin beside him even rushed towards Tongyuan City. He wanted to pass the news here to Chen who was left behind.
Lin, by the way, let Fan Yong, who is the body pacifier, know.
Cao Yi couldn't keep him, so he could only pray that Ye An could withstand the attack of the Dangxiang people, at least until he arrived with the Zhenrong army, but he didn't know that Ye An and Zhou Wenzhi had already led the army out of the valley and led the army.
Advancing into Qinggang Gorge.
Qinggang Gorge is a canyon in Hengshan Mountain, and it is also an important place that separates the Central Plains from the barbarians. When Ye An arrived with nearly 7,000 troops, the Xiqiang people in Qinggang Gorge were naturalized again and followed the arrival of Wang's army.
This was something Ye An and Zhou Wenzhi never expected, and Zihe Mingling was the person who "took the most credit". After returning to Qinggang Gorge, he reported the battle situation in Huanzhou and the sporadic escaping Xiqiang rebels.
As a basis, he told the people who stayed behind about the war situation and the attitude of the Song Dynasty.
Zihe Mailing was a smart man, he didn't say much, he just stated the facts objectively, and more importantly, he asked the returning Xiqiang soldiers to speak for themselves about the strength of the Song army and the ruthlessness of Ye An.
The Xiqiang people also knew that they were no match for the Song Dynasty. They originally planned to retaliate against the Song Dynasty, and were persuaded by Weiming Boshan. They believed that they could gain benefits by confronting the Song Dynasty, and even be able to stand on their own feet. They gradually became like Dang Xiang.
Generally powerful.
For this reason, Weiming Boshan even boasted and promised Dangxiang that he would send troops to help when necessary, so that these "brothers" who were of the same lineage could become the same existence as Dangxiang.
But even when the Xiqiang people besieged Qingping Pass, the Dangxiang army was never seen. Those Xiqiang soldiers who escaped even cursed Weiming Boshan and the Dangxiang people for being shameless and dishonest.
Finally, the Xiqiang people saw clearly the face of the Dangxiang people. Under Zihe Mangling's "analysis", the tribesmen of the Xiqiang tribes themselves analyzed that they were being used by the Dangxiang people...
So when Ye An led the army to arrive, the Xiqiang people immediately chose to surrender to Wang Hua. After all, they were familiar households and had already accepted the rule of the Song Dynasty. After they rebelled, they saw the Xiqiang people suffered heavy losses, so they surrendered on their own initiative.
This is nothing.
Ye An's attitude was also very simple. All Xiqiang people must accept the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty and be deprived of all rights of autonomy.
Hatred is a relative thing. Although many young men died in the war, the Xiqiang people decisively chose the latter when facing genocide or continuing under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.
They did not dare to fight against the Song Dynasty anymore. In addition to the wealth they plundered in the early stage of the Huanzhou Rebellion, almost all their wealth in the later stage was confiscated by the Song army.
But the only thing Ye An didn't touch was the wealth of the Western Qiang people in Qinggang Gorge. Although some of it was plundered from the Song Dynasty, it was not all. Furthermore, once all was confiscated, the Western Qiang people would definitely feel sad.
resentment.
This group of people who are so poor will definitely fight you to the death when you take away their last possessions.
Standing on the altar of the Xiqiang people, Ye An promulgated the temporary management measures. Each of them was announced loudly by the soldiers in the army. The sound shook the earth and shook the hearts of the Xiqiang people.
"From now on, all the Western Qiang people will be exempted from crime! The officials of the country have no choice but to rebel, and they will be punished for their crimes! Those who have done wrong will not be punished, and those who have no wrong will not be rewarded. They are all our people in the Song Dynasty! Change your surname and name, and choose
The first character of each radical is the surname, and all the tribes are combined into one. They are the people of Longxi in the Song Dynasty, and they are no longer allowed to call themselves Western Qiang!"
As Ye An finished speaking, the Xiqiang tribe exploded. They were Xiqiang people! After Ye An's words, they were called Longxi people and lost their tribal surname.
How can they accept it?
But Ye An did not finish speaking, but continued to speak loudly: "From today on, all the people in Longxi can study and become officials. Those who have martial arts can become generals with military merit, and can also lead troops that are not weaker than the Han soldiers!
The state and the dynasty treat everyone equally, and there is no distinction between internal and external relations! Open a market for discussion, set up a trading market, and appoint officials to collect taxes. All the food you provide and food to you is for the Song Dynasty, just like the people of the Han Dynasty! If there are officials who practice favoritism and bend the law, you and others
You can also appeal. The Huanzhou Prefecture does not care about Jingzhao Prefecture, which has Yongxing Military Road. If Jingzhao Prefecture does not care, you can go to Tokyo City to appeal! The country will treat them as Han people! But if there are any troublemakers, stop the business and ban the mutual trade.
, I will never surrender! Do you have any doubts?"
A series of policies promulgated by Ye An are almost all what the Xiqiang people long for. They do not want land to farm, they also want normal business, and they hope to move up the ladder. Studying and becoming an official is something they originally did not dare to think about.
Ye An, who is currently the deputy envoy of the body pacification, made a promise, which represented the wishes of the court, as well as the wishes of the saints and officials. After weighing the pros and cons, the elders of the various tribes of the Xiqiang people finally chose to compromise.
It's not that they are willing to abandon their ancestors, but that they prefer to settle down and live in the Song Dynasty. Isn't everything centered on survival?
The policies promulgated by Ye An are almost all in line with their expectations and the purpose of their uprising. Although self-reliance has more rights, it will never receive such great benefits.
The elders from all the ministries finally paid homage to Ye An, shouting: "The saint is kind and virtuous, and the official is virtuous! We are willing to follow Wang Hua forever and be the people of Longxi! We will never rebel and regard the country as our home!"
Zhou Wenzhi watched all this with his mouth open. He was shocked by Ye An's methods, and even more shocked by his "boldness". What this boy promulgated was not the policy of the country at all, but his own governance method!
Zhou Wenzhi felt that Ye An was crazy. Even civil servants could not overstep his authority, and even deputy envoys could not bypass Zhongshu or even Tianjia to issue such an order.
