Among the eight tribes of the party, the Tuoba tribe (Li family) is the strongest, the Yanchi tribe (Yan family) is the richest, and the Yeli tribe has the most educated people.
If the Song Dynasty canceled the quota of green salt transported from Xiazhou to the Central Plains, the revenue of the Yanchi Department would be reduced by at least half due to smuggling alone. By then, not only the quality of life of the nobles in the tribe would be greatly reduced, but the overall strength and cohesion of the tribe would also be reduced.
, will also plummet.
Without the backing of strength, the great elders of the Yanchi tribe would not be able to speak forcefully when discussing matters in the "court". And if the great elders cannot be tough, the juniors of the Yanchi tribe will not be able to hold important positions in the "country".
There are fewer people holding important positions in the "country", so when the benefits are distributed, the Yanchi Department will suffer.
If you suffer a loss in the distribution of benefits, the strength and cohesion of the tribe will continue to decline...
This is an endless cycle that is visible to the naked eye. No matter how stupid Yan Shize is, he knows that it must be prevented from starting at the source. Therefore, after weighing it again and again, he sighed and said: "Of course I have heard of Judge Han's reputation, and I also know the power of fire and thunder bombs."
.But the brothers under my command have never touched fire and thunder bombs before. If you give them to them now, they may not be able to defeat Helianxing's "Xing" camp..."
There was no time to listen to his ramblings. Ye Qinglian grabbed a gunpowder bomb and interrupted sternly, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, are you willing to work with us?"
"Ken, Ken! Auntie, don't light the fire, don't light the fire. I'm just saying that we have to find a way to deal with Helianxing first! Besides, I can't guarantee that all of my subordinates will be loyal." Yan Shize was frightened to the point of death.
, ignoring the dagger on his neck, he shouted in a low voice and hid behind Han Qing.
"Since you are willing, just follow our arrangements!" Han Qing grabbed Yan Shize and pushed him back to the chair. "It's not that difficult to defeat him."
"Yes, yes, I listen, I listen, girl, put down the fire thunder, put it down, if you have something to say, it will be easy to say!" Yan Shize agreed repeatedly, but his eyes were always fixed on the gunpowder bomb in Ye Qinglian's hand, and he did not dare to blink easily.
Go up.
Ye Qinglian curled her lips in disdain, put down the grenade, and turned her gaze to Han Qing, "Judge Han is very resourceful, and I will leave it to you. I am only responsible for keeping an eye on him and lighting the fire at any time."
Based on her past experience of suffering losses under Han Qing, she had no doubt that Han Qing would have a way to solve the problem at hand. And the latter indeed lived up to her expectations. After thinking about it for a while, he told Yan Shize, "Call the one who is most important to you."
Loyal confidants, follow Miss Ye to call my brothers. Tell the public that I gave you a discount on all the goods on hand, and you need to call some guys over to arrange the delivery."
"Yes! Yes!" Yan Shize couldn't guess what Han Qing was going to do, but he didn't have the courage to refuse, so he nodded and agreed. Then he simply dismissed the last soldier in the room and asked him to listen to Judge Han and Miss Ye's orders.
The soldier witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of Yan Shize's kidnapping, knowing that every move he made was related to his life or death. He decisively took off his sword and placed it on the ground. Then, he grabbed a command arrow from the table as a token and obediently
Followed behind Ye Qinglian.
Not long after, Ye Qinglian took Li Dezhao and thirty veterans of the Zhenrong Army, carrying seven or eight huge boxes, and returned to Yan Shize's "Chinese Army."
As soon as they entered the house, Wu Er and other veterans of the Suppression Army immediately took out the weapons from the box and guarded the doors and windows. Li Dezhao, on the other hand, walked towards Yan Shize with a smile, stretched out his hand and pressed the man's shoulder, "Badger, don't worry. I have been since childhood.
When you get older, you work with me. When have I ever made you suffer? If what you do today is successful, you will be the commander of my personal army from now on. If you fail, you can also say that you were kidnapped by me.
Anyone can testify."
"Qinglang——" Hearing Li Dezhao call out his nickname, Yan Shize felt a bit of true brotherhood in his heart, his eyes were red, and he nodded vigorously, "It's not that I don't follow you, the things in the clan don't count.
In addition, seven of my subordinates were newly replaced by Li Deming, and I cannot control them."
"Judge Han?" Li Dezhao quickly turned his attention to Han Qing, also believing that Han Qing could solve this problem.
"Then first kill the seven that you can't control and call them in in three batches. Tell them to share the benefits with them!" Han Qing lived up to his expectations and immediately gave the answer.
"Badger, listen to him. He has many methods. He was the person Bai Ze admired most during his lifetime!" Li Dezhao turned his head to Yan Shize again and asked softly.
"Yeah!" I don't know if he really recalled his friendship with Li Dezhao or if he accepted his fate. Yan Shize nodded and followed Han Qing's instructions very obediently.
In a moment, three officers from the Forbidden Army who had just been transferred to his command arrived as ordered. As soon as they entered the door, they were immediately taken down by Wu Er and the veterans of the Suppression Army without a trace.
Han Qing had no time to waste and directly ordered the three people to be killed. Then, he asked Yan Shize to continue to mobilize people.
This time, Yan Shize also understood what to do. He also called the remaining four Dutou who had just been placed under his command in two groups and called them into the "Chinese Army".
Wu Er led the veterans of the Zhenrong Army and strictly implemented Han Qing's orders. The two people who entered the second group were beheaded and hacked to death. The people who entered the third group were all captured alive and their mouths were gagged.
, the bundles were turned to the ground.
"Call in all the others who are loyal to you and make them swear an oath to kill!" Han Qing did not dare to open the window because the smell of blood was very strong in the room, but Han Qing took a deep breath and whispered.
At this moment, Yan Shize had no way out, so he took a deep breath and immediately acted according to his instructions.
Not long after, the remaining thirteen captains were all called to Yan Shize by his own soldiers. Without waiting for Han Qing's order, Yan Shize introduced Li Dezhao to all the captains and announced that Li Jiqian, the king of Xia, had been killed by Li Deming.
I want to work with the second prince to avenge King Xia and bring order to the chaos.
The thirteen people were all doubtful after hearing this. However, they all recognized Li Dezhao and saw the five corpses on the ground. Therefore, they bravely expressed their willingness to follow the second prince and Yan Commander to eliminate traitors for the country.
"These two guys tied up underground are the spies planted by Li Deming. Each of you stabbed him to appease the hatred of being bullied by them!" Yan Shize nodded and gave the order in a self-taught way.
The thirteen captains all knew that if they did not follow the instructions, they would be stabbed next. They agreed, immediately drew their swords, and cut the two prisoners on the ground into pieces.
Han Qing endured the discomfort at the smell of blood, nodded, and continued to give orders: "Strict command, send someone to get one hundred sets of party armor and put them on my brothers. Ye Qinglian, you go back with the military inspector and get six hundred
Give these grenades to your master, and then take your people to block the road to Dangxiang Palace. Inspector Wu, take Ye Qinglian to get the grenades first, and then bring all the other brothers here to change their armor.
…”
Everyone took the order and started walking separately. Han Qing himself put on armor, took the spear he had handy, and armed himself neatly. At the same time, he quickly thought about the next move in his mind.
When it comes to the ability of marching and formation, Li Dezhao, Yan Shize, and even Ye Qinglian may not lose to him. But when it comes to organizing coups, he has seen so many versions and colors of "revolutions" in his previous life, but he is far more expert than Li Dezhao and others.
Therefore, after seeing a certain version in his previous life and changing it slightly, he suggested to Li Dezhao, "Brother Dezhao, brothers go through life and death in front of the battle every day, but the benefits all belong to the eight elders. The elders also have opinions on big and small things."
After all, this rule is so unfair that I, as a Song Dynasty person, can’t stand it. After you take the throne, it’s best to change it as soon as possible so that the brave have a chance to stand out and the smart don’t always have to resign themselves to old age.
under."
"Well -" Li Dezhao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened and he nodded vigorously, "It should be so. Thank you Judge Han for reminding me. But I have no idea how to do it specifically. Please give me some advice from Judge Han."
"What else can we do? Divide Xiazhou into fifteen to twenty counties according to the model of the Song Dynasty. In the future, a dual-track system will be implemented. Major matters involving foreign wars and conflicts between ministries should be discussed by the eight elders.
But the specific daily affairs are assigned by Xia Guogong's government to each county, and then executed by the county magistrate of each county." Han Qing smiled, and his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the thirteen governors.
"In addition, in the future, all the territory that will be expanded to the west and north will be divided into counties. Whoever contributes more will be sent to be the county magistrate or county magistrate. He will make the final decision on local affairs, and then report them to you for review.
You have the final say, but you don’t have to take care of everything yourself.”
"Every year, 60% of the tax revenue is turned over to the public treasury, and 40% is reserved for the counties. The same applies to other harvests. You are responsible for sending people to regularly assess the performance of your officials. Anyone who has merit on the battlefield or in governing the local area will be promoted and rewarded, regardless of
Which tribe he comes from and how old he is. Even if he was a slave before, he is qualified to be your right-hand man!"
"Also, being an official requires a salary, not relying on the charity of the elders of the tribe..."
In one breath, I said more than a dozen items, each of which was synthesized from the news in my previous life.
In his previous life, if those various "revolutions" could not put forward a realistic and effective political program, they would eventually end up decentralizing power, dividing money, and replacing the old oligarchs with new oligarchs.
Therefore, he simply skipped all the gimmicks and steps and went straight to the end. Let Li Dezhao divide power and money among his followers now, use the state and county system to squeeze the living space of the eight elders system, and create a new oligarch.
Whether this system can bring benefits to the party, no one can predict at present. However, it actually made the thirteen people present have their heads boiled. They saw the huge personal benefits after the completion of the matter, and everyone's blood boiled.
With Li Dezhao's intelligence, looking at the faces of all the leaders, how could he not guess that Han Qing was trying to lure him for profit. Therefore, without even thinking about it, he accepted all his proposals with a smile.
Immediately, the morale of Yan Shize and his subordinates soared. They were all gearing up and eager to take action immediately, rush into Prince Xia's Mansion, drag Li Deming out, and cut him into pieces.
Han Qing, however, did not immediately fulfill everyone's wishes. He first waited patiently for the Second Military General Dou Rong and other veterans of the Zhenrong Army to come over and put on the armor of the Party Forbidden Army. Then he waited for Ye Qinglian to do the same.
Finally, everyone was ordered to go back, gather their troops and horses, and each person wrapped his arm with a white cloth as a sign to prepare for action.
How could an operation involving two thousand people be completely kept secret? Before the thirteen leaders could bring their brothers to Yan Shize, another commander of the Forbidden Army, He Lianxing, had already keenly sensed that something was wrong.
. Decisively ordered to assemble troops and horses to prepare for any eventuality. At the same time, he sent his confidants to the palace to warn Li Deming.
His reaction was swift. However, he underestimated his opponent's ability.
The people sent out to warn had just left the inn when Ye Qinglian and a group of desperadoes shot down their mounts and chopped them into pieces in the street. Immediately afterwards, Yan Shize commanded his own soldiers to attack the Chinese army where he was.
position and launched a strong attack.
Neither side was fully prepared. If the general's usual command level and the normal fighting qualities of the two battalions were followed, Helianxing's side should be sure of victory.
However, before formal contact could take place between the soldiers on both sides, Wu Er had already brought a hundred Zhenrong troops who had changed their party armors, and came from the flank. They did not even want to say hello, but raised their hands, and there was a round.
Grenade bombs!
In an instant, explosions resounded throughout the world, thick smoke billowed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
He Lianxing's hurriedly assembled personal troops did not even see the faces of the enemy clearly, and the casualties exceeded 35%. The remaining 60% could not wait for the second wave of grenades to hit, and they screamed in agony.
