The opening and Xu Xiao's front

Chapter 167 Set Qingzhou

After Zhang Yicai ordered the army to abandon the cumbersome axle load, the speed of the army increased in a straight line. It took ten days to set foot on the land of Qingzhou with the help of a large ship.

Qingzhou was originally a fertile land, densely populated, supported by artisans, and a strong army. But since the disappearance of Ji Wushen, the Yuren living in Qingzhou have lost their shelter and backbone all of a sudden.

As a result, those feathered people with impure blood who cannot grow wings are at high risk, and the feathered people with impure blood hate those feathered people who can grow wings very much.
The feathered people with wings and the feathered people without wings are originally two, extremely unstable factors, and those feathered people without wings have always been bullied by those feathered people with wings, and now they are in power in hand,
Definitely target these feathered people who have grown wings, and Hexue, who was supposed to protect and maintain order, was all sealed in the Jiwu God Hall, and the feathered people who lost Hexue's protection were completely reduced to slaves.
The past master-servant relationship has been completely reversed. As long as the feathered people grow wings, they will all have their wings cut off, and then fished in trees as a warning to others. The old and new nobles attack each other. , the tax burden is quite high, food is scarce, and the currency exchange rate is different.

Under such tyranny and chaos, the Qingzhou Yuren clan continued to have civil strife. The strange thing is that the people around them didn't notice anything unusual about them. The national teacher and Yuran took the opportunity to escape when the civil strife first broke out.

In fact, it is an extremely strange existence that such a regime can survive.

When Zhang Yicai first set foot on this land, he thought he would encounter fierce resistance, but he didn't expect that those soldiers who were supposed to fight and resist saw Zhang Yicai's army not only did not resist fiercely when they saw Zhang Yicai's army coming,

Instead, they took the initiative to put down their weapons and cooperated with being captured. Basically, this was the case everywhere they went. No one was willing to resist.

The noble people in the city welcomed Zhang Yicai's army very eagerly, which made Zhang Yicai a little dizzy, which also reflected the current chaos in Qingzhou from the side.

Zhang Yicai naturally did not criticize these aristocrats for being so aware of current affairs, and relaxed his treatment of these aristocrats after formulating a series of policies to benefit the people and store grain.
The conditions can't be said to be so lenient, and they are probably treated similarly to the generals in his army, but even with such conditions, these nobles still couldn't ask for more.

The scrambling to offer the city, just like this, in the active dedication of this group of nobles, the huge Qingzhou has been taken by him for two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is because his troops have not yet arrived there.

The nobles there had no way to surrender immediately, so they could only send messengers to Zhang Yicai's camp to surrender. Zhang Yicai received all the nobles who came to surrender,

Then he organized all the descendants of the nobles into his personal guards as hostages, and then entered the city, and then implemented a large number of policies beneficial to the people to capture the hearts of the people and weaken the influence of the nobles.

Does Zhang Yi feel strange about the choices of these nobles, his own choice, because even without his presence, under such tyranny, Qingzhou Yuren would welcome others in sooner or later,

Or rebel yourself. In this era of feudal centralization, the common people rebelled and gained power. They hated all nobles and suppressed common people like themselves.

Raising heavy taxes, not having a strong enough army to quell the chaos, not having enough talent reserves, and not developing education to attract people's hearts, it can only be said that the limitations of their civilians limit their development, and they can rule for a while, absolutely can't rule forever,
In fact, the leader of this group of civilian rebels used to be a guard in the palace, read books, and went to the battlefield. He is a capable person.
He should have quickly consolidated the regime, but the lack of discipline, burning, killing, and looting of his subordinates, as well as his own behavior of massacring nobles, made him gradually crazy, lost his original self-cultivation, and his character became distorted.
So much so that he lost his foundation in Qingzhou, and the army in his hand gradually rebelled because of his mental distortion, and the combat effectiveness without rebellion also dropped very badly.

So much so that Zhang Yicai has been in Qingzhou for such a long time, she didn't even send out an army, it's not because she didn't want to shoot, it's not because she didn't have food and military pay, she didn't have any soldiers to send,

Except for the soldiers who are used to defend the city, there are not many soldiers under him. The defenders can fight in the field, but the soldiers who can fight in the field are all held in the hands of the nobles.
It's not the nobles who are in his control, but the nobles who are in those other castles. Although he has killed a lot of nobles over the years, he can kill the nobles in the most central cities, those who have no military power.
He can't afford to kill nobles with military power, and the army under him hasn't grown much in the past ten years. He oppresses the people too much, and he doesn't give preferential treatment to his family when he joins the army. No one wants to join his army.
Even those who are willing to join his army are all a bunch of local hooligans. Apart from ruining his military discipline and reducing his combat effectiveness, there is no help.

"Your Highness, we just took down Qingzhou?! This is only a hundred days! Ever since I followed you, I have never fought such a quick battle! Could this be the Emperor Yu's conspiracy?" Under the night sky Tie Yan looked at Zhang Yicai who was illuminated by the stars and asked slowly,

Zhang Yicai took a sip of the wine in his glass, looked at the bustling barracks behind him and the Xiyan army next to him who were as festive and said slowly:

"There will be no problem. If you want to say that if the previous Yuhuang was still fighting, I would definitely be worried and couldn't sleep all night. I read Qingzhou Historical Records. The last Yuhuang Throughout his life, he was a conservative king,

But this does not erase the fact that he is indeed very capable. When he was in power, Qingzhou Haiqingheyan had good officials, high morals, and talented people in high positions. He thought for the people.

People without talent and virtue will not be admitted, and they will never seek selfishness.

To be honest, I am surprised that this Yuhuang can break through the country of the previous Yuhuang. If it is not for mental calculation or unintentional or taking advantage of the wedding day, it is impossible for this Yuhuang to rebel successfully.

And why do you think our battle was so easy?Is it because of the letters I wrote?My wife, Yuran, is a descendant of the previous Yuhuang, and the only remaining descendant of the Yuren royal family."

"The banner I played is to recover Qingzhou and welcome the emperor to the throne. Both public and private are in line with righteousness. The group of nobles who are still loyal to the previous emperor or nostalgic for the past, have been oppressed and have been lacking. Such a righteousness title,

But now they can't refuse the righteousness I offer. They donate the city just to push the boat along the way. Besides, even if they don't donate the city, I can take it down. Don't worry about them.

And haven't you noticed?Xi Yan, who is so cautious, didn't even set up guard posts for the army of the nobles. Their army was next to the army of the nobles. Xi Yan was not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? "

After Zhang Yicai finished speaking, he patted Tie Yan's chest, Bairi Ding Qingzhou unknowingly unlocked a new achievement, and this achievement reminded him of the achievement of a certain historical figure in his previous life.
