come to the heavens

Chapter 269

He collected the remnants of Wang Shichong's forces with the above party as the center, went north half a month later, and fought a decisive battle with the 18 main force of East Turks under the city of Yuci.

In the field battle, Ye Chen personally beheaded the great Turkic master—— Wu Zun Bixuan, pierced through the Turkic central army, cut off an arm of the Eastern Turkic Khan Shibi, and defeated the Eastern Turkic army. Catch up at Yanmen Pass.He blocked the retreat of the Turkic army alone at the pass, encircled by 10,000+ troops, wiped out the Turkic coalition forces at Yanmen Pass, and shocked the world after beating the Eastern Turkic Khan.

On the other side of the battlefield, Zhang Ling led an army of 25 to the north, and divided the troops into two groups. One of the [-] troops marched westward to garrison Dashan Pass to block Tuyuhun and other Western Region coalition forces.

The other unit went northward, advancing slowly, steadily, and launched an offensive and defensive battle with the East Turkic coalition forces near Zheshu City.

When he led an army of [-] troops across the Yellow River from Mengmendu, crossed the Wuding River, and appeared from behind the Western Turks, the Western Turks were shocked. Zhang Ling took the opportunity to attack, and the two armies attacked and defeated the Western Turks.

The next step was to chase and kill them all the way until Yumen Pass captured Dunhuang City before stopping. More than half of the Western Turkic army of more than 20 soldiers was killed or injured, and the remaining [-] defeated soldiers escaped from Yumen Pass and scattered into the vast desert.

Then Ye Chen sent troops to Dunhuang as the center, and sent troops to encircle and suppress all alien Hu people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. With the fall of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have been separated from Han Chinese rule for hundreds of years. Now there are Hu people everywhere, and Han people are living Difficult, now that he has regained this place, he must eliminate the barbarians, especially those rebellious barbarians, and exterminate them all.

He has already planned that a large administrative region will be established in Dunhuang. It will not be the Han Dynasty's Protectorate, but will rebuild Liangzhou, and put the Western Regions under the direct rule of Dakun, so as to radiate the central forces. Throughout the Western Regions, some Han people gradually migrated over, slowly assimilating the local Hu people.

He probably doesn't have time to see these. This is just a plan. It's hard to say when it will be realized. If the future generations are not strong enough, it may not be realized forever.

Fifty thousand troops were left to guard Dunhuang, and Ye Chen led the remaining troops back to Beijing. When Xu Shiji arrived in Luoyang, Xu Shiji had completely eliminated Wang Shichong's influence, and Dou Jiande formally surrendered. So far, the entire north of the Yangtze River has been ruled by him, leaving only those in the south of the Yangtze River. The Yuwen Clan and the Song Clan, as well as Li Yuan who fled to Chengdu in the middle of Sichuan, were not caught last time when they sent people to hunt them down.

But not long after, another thing that surprised him happened. The leader of the Song Clan, Tiandao Song Que, sent his younger brother, Dijian Song Zhi, as an envoy to Luoyang. The palace is the imperial concubine.

Ye Chen complied straightforwardly, not to mention the fact that there were beauties delivered to the door, and the Song Clan's attachment represented the unity of the world.

Although the remaining Yuwen faction is quite strong, compared with Da Kun's current strength, it is no longer at the same level, not to mention Li Yuan in Anshu, and the threat is even smaller. Other small forces are afraid that they will be on the lookout as soon as the army arrives. drop.

In mid-June of the first year of Dakun Shenwu, Duguzhan, the general who conquered the south, led an army of 30 troops to the south and broke through Jinling City in one fell swoop.

In the late June of the first year of Dakun Shenwu, Song Shidao led an army of [-] Song clans up the Yangtze River, and together with an army of [-] led by Wang Xuan, entered Shu from Jianmenguan and attacked Chengdu, completely destroying Li Yuan's forces.

After the city was broken, Wang Xuan captured Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning and sent her to Luoyang to present to the emperor. After reading it, Ye Chen commented on it as a "peerless beauty" and gave her death!
Although he likes beautiful women, he is not really licentious to the end. He can tell which beauties are acceptable and which are not. Li Yuan's family is all dead in his hands. If Li Xiuning is put into the harem, he will be in trouble in the future.

In fact, even Fan Qinghui would have thought of killing her if it wasn't because of the mission. Even now he is on guard against her. Unlike Wanwan who can control power, even Dugufeng can lead an army to attack Jinling. She will accompany the army On the expedition, she, Fan Qinghui, could not have any power, so she could only stay in the harem honestly and be a canary.

Holding the handle of Cihang Jingzhai, she had no choice but to submit.

To unify the world, Ye Chen began to implement his own plan, and began to drastically weaken the powerful families in various places, suppressing what should be suppressed, even the Dugu Clan and the Song Clan.

Of course, the circumstances of these two families are special, and he can't go too far for the sake of seeing Dugufeng and Song Yuzhi, not just for the sake of the two supporting him.

For these two families, the military power must be taken away first, this is not negotiable, and then the land must be remeasured, not all taken away like other big clans, but the privately hidden land must be spit out, the two families are only on the bright side There are 10,000+ acres of private land on the Internet, and there are probably many more that have not been registered in private. These private fields must be handed over.

Yang Jian and Yang Guang have done what Ye Chen did, but unfortunately they don’t have enough power to suppress those big landlords and nobles, but he is different. Whenever the founding king of a dynasty is the most authoritative, he is even more powerful, and his force is invincible. , and after a change of dynasty, the most powerful and ambitious clans have been wiped out, and the remaining strength has been greatly reduced, and they are no longer able to compete with him. This land policy can only be implemented slowly.

He is not exactly like the later generations, nor can he copy the later generations. He just gives ordinary civilians a little more opportunities and makes ordinary civilians live better.

In this era, the requirements of common people are really low. As long as they can survive, no one will be full to support them to rebel. When they rebel, they will not be able to survive.

In addition to land reform, Ye Chen's second major policy is the problem of official corruption, which is more difficult than the previous one, and it is difficult to cure it.

Ye Chen is not a god and he can't think of a cure, he can only find a way to cure it.

He thought of a simple solution, which was to disperse power and establish a sound supervision mechanism. For example, in a county, the county magistrate is in charge of the administrative work of a county, but he no longer has the power to adjudicate the case. The investigation and trial will be handed over to the county magistrate. The Ministry of Punishment is directly in charge, the county soldiers and the township militia in various places are managed by county lieutenants, and the Ministry of War is directly in charge. These three official positions, county magistrate and county lieutenant, are at the same level as county lieutenant, and county magistrate is half a level higher, but they have no command jurisdiction and are independent of each other.

In addition, each level of locality also has a supervisory censor to supervise the various places. The supervisory censor is independent of the locality. No one has the right to command and is only responsible to the emperor.

In order to better strengthen the centralization of power, Ye Chen activated the Jinyiwei department, which is similar in size to the Ming Dynasty. It is divided into four major township divisions in the southeast, northwest, and north. will wait for the function.The leader is still called Jin Yiwei Commander, who is a female official trusted by the emperor in the palace and is directly responsible to the emperor.
