A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 526

Senior brother Su Lie is very domineering,
"A mere Sogdian Hu Lao Nu, how dare you bargain with the governor? Just kill him, and anyone who dares to disobey will be wiped out!"

Wu Huaiyu didn't expect that Senior Brother Su, who usually looks very kind, has become more and more domineering since he returned to Hebei.

Li Jinyan, with half of his face, also supported Su Lie, "Those rich people from Sogdia and Hufu, there is only one He Mingyuan, in this secluded land, who doesn't know that this guy has a lot of money? Just send troops to destroy them, and the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou will not worry." Military money and food."

"The tens of thousands of Sogdian Hu can still be sold at a good price, especially Tuojie mercenaries, which are very popular in the slave market, and the price is very high. A Tuojie slave is worth a BMW."

A few guys said it easily, but it was very cruel.

Huaiyu could only shake his head, "Conquer people with virtue, conquer people with virtue!"

"Please ask Lu Canjun to call He Mingyuan over."

When Lu Chengye walked out of the military tent, he felt chills on his back. Just now, he heard cold sweat on his back. These guys are really cruel. Fortunately, Mrs. Lu was very knowledgeable about current affairs and cooperated. It is estimated that when Wu Huaiyu first came to Youzhou, he was behind his back like this Let's talk about dealing with Lu Shi and others.

These guys from Chang'an are brutal one by one.

In the past, I only thought that Yan was skinny and cruel, and that Li Yuan was greedy and ruthless, but I didn't expect that the young military governor would not lose to them at all.

fortunately.

Lu Chengye came out to meet He Mingyuan with some secret rejoicing.

He Mingyuan is almost 70 years old this year, but he is in good spirits. He wears a tight-fitting gown with narrow sleeves and double-breasted lapels, with different-color fringes on the left and right sides of the collar and cuffs, a pointed beard hat, and bearded boots on his feet.

Seeing Lu Chengye coming, he took off his beard and showed his cut hair, which is different from the Turkic haircut.

The Turkic people are used to braiding their hair, but the Sogdian Hu generally cuts his head, that is, cuts his hair short, which is completely different from the Han people's hair.

"Thank you Lu Wulang, I don't know if the military governor would like to see He Mou?"

"Wu Dudu invites He Sabao to meet, please."

He Mingyuan settled in Dingzhou in the Sui Dynasty, not far from Youzhou. He used to be in charge of the post station in Dingzhou. He was regarded as an official. He took advantage of the convenience of his position and his business acumen to make a fortune. .

Later, he went bankrupt and went far outside the Great Wall, and then returned to Yu Yanshui to start a new business, and also had many contacts with the Lu family.

"I don't know what the attitude of the military governor is?"

"The military governor is a little unhappy with He Sabao's attitude," Lu Chengye also told the truth.

He Mingyuan frowned involuntarily.

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, he has experienced a lot, and later returned to Guannei, settled here, and also dealt with Luo Yi, Gao Tansheng, Gao Kaidao, even Liu Heita, Yuan Junzhang, etc., and barely kept this foundation.

But the attitude of the military governor now seems to be difficult to get along with.

Stepping into the account, He Mingyuan immediately felt great oppression.

"Yu Yanshui Sabao He Mingyuan pays homage to the military governor!"

Wu Huaiyu just looked at the old man coldly, and dared to come to see him alone, which showed that the old man still hoped to make money with peace, and did not want to confront directly.

Want to negotiate a deal with certain conditions.

"He Mingyuan, you call yourself Sabao, who granted you this Sabao?" Wu Huaiyu asked.

Head start.

"This Sabao is recommended by the same clan."

"Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court has listed Sabao as a national official position. Since the Sui Dynasty, it has been set as a rank official. There are Yongzhou Sabao and Zhou Sabao. , regard it as the ninth grade."

"Although Sabao is a treasure, he is also an official of the imperial court and a national treasure. How dare you call yourself Sabao?"

To make yourself an official is to rebel and rebel.

When Wu Huaiyu came up, he first gave him a rebellion hat.

Xiu Mingyuan is also an old Jianghu, but he has never seen Wu Huaiyu pretending to be confused, so he just talks about it.

"Captain, the little Sabao is just a traditional name of the Sogdian people. It is different from the official position of the Sabao in the imperial court. The Sabao in the court is the protector. Our Sabao is the treasure of Baoyu," the old Jianghu said. Also started talking shit.

Wu Huaiyu laughed twice.

He Mingyuan shut up immediately.

"I heard that He Sabao moved to the Great Wall Pass, destroyed the Great Wall to open gaps, traffic jams outside, and has been paying tribute to Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan?"

He Mingyuan didn't say anything, this is a fact.

"I've been living on my land in the Central Plains, but I haven't paid taxes to my Central Plains for ten years, and I don't even pay tribute to my registration, and I still have 800 Tuojie mercenaries?"

"Please inspect it clearly, the governor, these are actually caused by special reasons since the Sui Dynasty, and the Great Wall was not destroyed by me..."

"I asked Lu Wulang to send a message to you before. The governor can not pursue the past, but now, he has to follow the rules of the court."

"Since you are on the land of the imperial court, you are the people of the imperial court. You have to enforce the court laws and pay the court taxes. The governor can grant you He Mingyuan as Sabao in Northern Yanzhou. You thousands of Sogdian Hu people can also continue Here you can live and work in peace and contentment, do business and trade, but the premise is that you have to register as a registered household and accept the rule of the court."

Wu Huaiyu directly offered the conditions.

First, their eight hundred Tuojie fighters will be incorporated by the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, incorporated into the various armies of Youzhou, and moved to various places.

Secondly, the Sogdian settlements will be transformed into townships, which will be subordinate to counties. Sabao and priests in each settlement will not have administrative and judicial powers, but will only have the right to mediate internal civil disputes equivalent to clan heads.

The four counties of Yongxing, Wende, Huai'an, and Guangning were newly established counties in the west of Northern Yanzhou, and Sogdian in the Yanshui River Basin were all included under the four counties.

After the eight hundred Tuojie warriors were recruited and transferred, the remaining Sogdian Hu could keep some light bows and swords, but they were not allowed to own armor, strong bows, powerful crossbows, horses and spears.

"Every twenty households choose one person to be the mansion soldier, and another martial arts regiment trains, and every ten households choose one person,"

According to this requirement, 150 households of Sogdian Hu will order [-] government soldiers and another [-] united cavalry.

"One horse for every ten households."

This is military service, and the number of clicks is not too much.

From now on, 20 days of regular service every year will also be required. After the full period, you will also have to serve in middle-aged and male sex.The other is the rent adjustment, which is collected and paid according to Ding.

In addition, there are household tax and free warehouse grain, and there are industrial and commercial city tax and customs duties for business.

Anyway, what Wu Huaiyu said is very clear, you are now the people of the Great Tang, and everything has to be done according to the rules of the Great Tang, and it is impossible to enjoy the special status of a foreigner like before.

The city on the west side of the bridge will soon be expanded into Guangning County, and the gap in the Great Wall to the north will be built as Guanchengwu Castle.The border market is still preserved, and will become the Guangning border market that trades with Turks.

He Mingyuan's face was like a bitter melon.

But Wu Huaiyu didn't stop talking.

"The Governor's Mansion of Youzhou will garrison troops and immigrate to four new counties. At that time, the land will be enclosed and cultivated. The land you are cultivating now will still belong to you after registration and registration. Don't worry about this."

"Your Zoroastrian temple will not be moved, but when the time comes, new immigrants will live with you."

He Mingyuan immediately refused, and quickly put forward a bunch of objections, even refusing to hand over the eight hundred Tuojie warriors. He asked Wu Huaiyu to set up a new Yiji state in the three hundred miles of Yanshui, and still give them autonomy. I am willing to pay a sum of money and food to the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou every year.

"Ha ha."

"The amount of money and food offered as a tribute, please count the number."

"Do you still need to pay tribute to the imperial court's own land? You have your own laws and regulations, and you can just collect taxes according to the law."

He Mingyuan said that the three thousand Sogdian Hus would never accept this condition.

"Oh, really?"

Wu Huaiyu smiled, "Inspector Su, under the rule of Beiyan Prefecture, there are barbarians who refuse to accept Wang Hua, and want to separate the regime and stand on their own. What do you say?"

Su Lie stood up, gave He Mingyuan a hard look, and then said murderously, "This subordinate is incompetent, so I ask the governor to allow me to lead the three thousand soldiers of the Qingyi Army in Northern Yanzhou to wipe out these intrusions for the court." Hu thief, "

"Three days, give your subordinates three days to wipe out all the three thousand thieves. The men will be sent to Chicheng County to dig iron mines, and the women and children will be sold to Chang'an, Luoyang, Youzhou and other places. Livestock, grain, cloth, money and silk shall all be turned over to the Governor's Mansion."

This is the threat of red fruit.

He Mingyuan, the old Jianghu, couldn't help feeling flustered at this time,
Sogdian Hu is good at management, although he is also guarded by Tuojie warriors, but he has experienced the chaos of the Sui Dynasty. Once Wanguan's family property was looted, and he also saw that in the most turbulent days, Sogdian in Yiding and other places How Hujulu Village was looted and destroyed by the government army, peasant army, thieves, horse bandits, etc., I have seen the pitiful end of many tribesmen.

"The governor, please think twice,"

"Think twice about what? Think twice about paying tribute to Jieli and Tuli, or because you Sogdian Hu have many tribesmen occupying central positions in the Turkic Khan Court?"

"This governor is now telling you that Tuli Khan has officially declared war on Jieli Khan, and now they are at war, and no one cares about you."

"What's more, Yu Yanshui is within the Great Wall. I have always been in the territory of the Central Plains. Whether it is Tuli or Xieli, how dare they interfere in our Tang Dynasty's internal affairs?"

"He Mingyuan, you are already getting old, so don't go further and further down the wrong path. The [-] families of yours have finally been stable here for several years. Don't lead them all to Huangquan Road!"

"Send He Sabao to rest first,"

"Inspector Su, you lead the Qing army to set out immediately and take over the Qiaoxi market first. Anyone who dares to stop it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be shot to death!"

He Mingyuan panicked, "Captain, I have absolutely no other intentions. I also ask the governor not to send troops. We can talk."

"Talk? The governor has already mentioned all the conditions that should be mentioned, so what else is there to talk about?"

With a wave of Huaiyu's hand, Su Lie led away.

Su Lie issued a military order to light up [-] Qing barbarian light cavalry, crossed the gap in the Great Wall like the wind, and headed towards the Qiaoxi market ten miles south.

Soon, three thousand Qingqi approached.

He Mingyuan's son, He Shenfu, led the already prepared Babaituojie out of the market to fight.

Both armies are light cavalry.

He Shenfu was very confident in his [-] Tuo Jie, he raised his spear and roared to charge head-on, Su Lie in bright armor was overjoyed when he saw this,
"Run over!"

Su Ding held Fang Changlong high, and countless Qingyi army light cavalry rushed forward like a strong wind.

The two cavalry collided fiercely.

One is the famous Tuojie Army on the Silk Road, with hundreds of years of prestige, while the other is the newly established army of the Qingyi Army, which is unknown.
He Shenfu thought he could crush the opposing Tang army in one fell swoop, but who knew that the Tang cavalry was extremely brave. Not only was it not crushed, but their eight hundred Tuojia were smashed to pieces. In a blink of an eye, he was killed by Tang cavalry to near.

Pour the flag in the dust,
He Shenfu was also knocked off his horse and captured alive.
Su Dingfang smashed through eight hundred Tuo Jie in one fell swoop, but he still didn't feel satisfied, "Tuo Jie warrior, that's it? It's a waste of fame!"

The Qingyi army became famous in the first battle.
