Taiping Inn

Recently, Qin Xiang and Qin Daofang have had a clear division of labor. Although Qin Xiang, as a general, publicly reiterated the new policy, it was Qin Daofang who actually implemented the new policy. Qin Xiang mainly did two things. One was to cooperate with Qin Daofang to suppress the rebellion, and the other was to recruit the remnant troops of the court and expand the new army based on the 60,000 old soldiers and the various weapons and firearms received.

Qin Xiang had once been the ultimate military officer of the Wei court, and he understood the pros and cons of the Wei official army very well. He emphasized the size of the system. Even if he was a general, he could only control his own regular battalion, and could not directly command the deputy general's special battalion, the lieutenant general's reinforcement battalion, and the guerrilla's guerrilla battalion. If the deputy general, lieutenant general, and guerrilla were determined to make things difficult for the general, the general had no other choice but to report to the court.

The same is true for the governor. He can only control his own standard battalion. If the generals and deputy generals under his command are unwilling to obey the governor's orders, the governor cannot mobilize their battalions. This is the balance of power, and small officials can also check and balance big officials. But most of the time, it will not go to this step, because if the generals do not listen to the governor's orders, it means that the two sides will completely tear their faces apart and only one person can be left. Under normal circumstances, the court will still stand on the side of the boss.

After Qin Xiang led his army to penetrate Qizhou from east to west, although he wiped out all the Wei official troops, the power of the gentry should not be underestimated. As long as they are given a few months, they can raise a large-scale rebel army again. Qin Xiang's standard battalion alone cannot suppress it.

So Qin Xiang must expand his army and leave enough troops to garrison Qizhou.

In addition, the lower-level soldiers are all from poor backgrounds and can be trusted, but the middle-level generals cannot be guaranteed not to be bribed and lured by the gentry, especially those generals who are from the local area, most of whom have inextricable ties with the local gentry. In order to prevent collusion between the two sides, some generals from Liaodong must be left.

First, the Liaodong generals are outsiders and have no connection with the local gentry. Second, Qin Qing has been rectifying the Liaodong gentry for many years. Those generals who were lured by the gentry have long been kicked out of the Liaodong army. The remaining ones have no lack of experience in dealing with such luring. I dare not say that they are as clear as water. On the issue of the position of right and wrong, they can still hold on. In short, loyalty is sufficiently guaranteed.

Taking all factors into consideration, Qin Xiang decided to disperse all the remnant troops and the newly formed new troops so that they could not form a group, and then station them in different places, such as the soldiers of Dongping Prefecture stationed in Langya Prefecture, the soldiers of Langya Prefecture stationed in Beihai Prefecture, the soldiers of Beihai Prefecture stationed in Lanling Prefecture, and so on.

Qin Xiang led 60,000 troops to Qizhou and expanded the army to 100,000. He decided to expand the army by another 20,000, reaching 120,000. He would give 50,000 troops to Qin Daofang, and add the thousands of standard soldiers that Qin Daofang already had to guard Qizhou.

In this way, Qin Daofang will have enough troops to implement the new policy, completely disperse the gentry power in Qizhou, suppress the rebellion, and ensure the supply of food and grass for Qin Xiang's army.

Qin Xiang has no worries, so he can lead 70,000 troops to Zhili and join forces with the 120,000 troops led by Qin Qing at the foot of the imperial capital.

This is Li Xuandu's pincer attack in the "chess game of the world". From the map, it looks like a huge crab claw clamping the imperial capital.

While Qin Xiang was busy expanding the army and training soldiers, Qin Daofang's main focus was on the new policy, especially the fields under the name of the saint's mansion. Measuring, clearing and collecting taxes is a huge project, but as long as this major event is completed, the land and taxes returned to the national treasury are still secondary, which is of great significance and far-reaching impact. It is a great deterrent to many gentry who are resisting stubbornly. I think the rest of the gentry can't make any waves.

In theory, it should be to seek the world first, win over the gentry from all over the country, and make them surrender. After the world is settled, then promote this matter. At the beginning, the new policy is made clear and the gentry is attacked, which will cause many gentry to go to the opposite side and swear to die. But this is contrary to Li Xuandu's idea, because Li Xuandu has never sought the world. For Li Xuandu, the world is only secondary, and peace is the key.

Although Qin Qing and Li Xuandu were father-in-law and son-in-law, they were actually allies on equal terms. It was not a matter of giving advice, but rather a discussion. In the end, it was Li Xuandu who persuaded Qin Qing. This move certainly lost the support of the gentry, but it won the hearts of the people. The people are the cornerstone of a country's tax revenue, and good family children are the best source of soldiers. Winning the people means winning the hearts of the world. To put it further, the gentry can surrender to Liaodong today and surrender to others tomorrow. There is no loyalty. They are the stubborn disease of the Wei Dynasty. Liaodong should not inherit these stubborn diseases to harm itself. This involves the question of whether the country is legitimate or not, which was mentioned by the Grand Priest Sikong Daoxuan. Just changing the emperor and the surname, or the aristocratic families occupying the most land, or the old faces sitting in office and eating for nothing, is not righteous. Even if Liaodong wins the world, the country will not last long.

Qin Qing is an immortal after all, without worries about birth, old age, sickness and death. He has only one daughter and no grandchildren to inherit his throne. Therefore, he is more open-minded about the gains and losses of the world, and will not be as worried about gains and losses as ordinary emperors. Therefore, after several considerations, he finally decided to give in and reach a compromise with Li Xuandu against all odds.

This move also has its advantages. Every time a state is conquered, new policies are implemented, and land is distributed equally and taxes are exempted. The people will spontaneously guard their own land, and the Liaodong army will be like a fish in water. This place is naturally like an iron barrel, and will never surrender and rebel again. It is a steady and steady move.

The gentry of Qizhou has long

After being "sorted" by Qingyang Sect, the Qingweizong and Qin Daofang had many years of management. Especially after the saint's mansion surrendered without fighting, he completely accepted his fate and did not cause too much storm.

Some Confucian scholars were unable to rebel, so they came to the Sheji Academy together, crying and crying at the tablets of the sub-sage saints and saints, scolding Qin Daofang: "The Daofang of Liaodong is bold, bullying the world and destroying ancestors, and openly breaking the rules of thousands of years. He ignored the benevolent government and robbed the country, and enjoyed the pursuit of the family. His crimes were aroused, and the people's sentiments were boiling. Those who read books should take the four-dimensional and eight virtues as their rituals. Unexpectedly, they would have produced animals, like those of Qin Daofang. The Confucian scholar is ashamed of his appearance, and the master is ignorant..."

The other Confucian scholars also echoed each other, and they were very stance to petition for the people.

This is surprising. Qin Daofang presided over the implementation of the new policy and distributed the land of the gentry to the people who had no land to plant. The people praised the need to build a temple for Qin Daofang. Instead, these gentry jumped up and asked for the people, saying that Qin Daofang exploited the people, He competed with the people for profit, was cruel and violent, and enjoyed chasing his house. He also said that Qin Daofang was so rich that most of the confiscated property was in Qin Daofang's pocket.

Qin Daofang didn't care much about this incident, but said, "When facing the people, they are gentry masters, and they are inviolable and must be of strict hierarchy. When facing the government and court, they became the people. , bullying them means exploiting the people, competing for profit with the people, and everyone must be equal. If you don’t follow, you will be beaten to be a tyrant and cruel official, and you will be devilish for thousands of years. Why is this? It’s just that the pen is in their hands and they write historical books. Naturally, he beautifies himself in every way. Although the people are numerous, no one can speak out."

A Confucian scholar also came to the Governor's Office with the tablet of the Great Successful Sage and Master, kneeled down and refused to get up. He wanted to ask for his orders for the people, establish his mind for the heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the living people, carry forward his unique knowledge for the past saints, and open peace for the world. If you force the palace.

But they made the wrong plan. The Wei court respected the Confucian Sect. You went to the Confucian Sect to cry when you went to the Confucian Sect to cry. You held the sage tablet, even if you were the chief minister of the cabinet, you were also a disciple of the Confucian Sect. You should be careful of the great righteousness and status.

But Liaodong is imitating the ancient system and respecting Taoist sects. Can your Confucian sect's rules still control the affairs of our Taoist sect? What does it have to do with my Supreme Taoist Ancestor if you take out the tablets of the Supreme Saint? What does your move out of the Assassin have to do with me, Nanhua Daojun? What does it have to do with me, Yang Zhu when you move out of Xun Qing? To discuss it in detail, the Supreme Master also asked about the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, who was half of the disciple of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor.

So the Taoist Sect came forward, and Li Xuandu sent Lu Yanbing to disperse the many Confucian scholars kneeling in front of the Governor's Mansion. If anyone refuses, he will directly capture them. Lu Yanbing first served as the right governor of the Qingluan Guard for four years, and then as the head of the Tiangang Hall for more than a year. They are all related to the criminal prison, and they are very familiar with these things.
