Chapter 526 The first battle between Qing and Yi destroyed Tuoji
Senior brother Su Lie is very domineering, "How can a mere Sogdian Hu slave dare to bargain with the governor? Kill him directly, and kill all those who dare to dissatisfy!"
Wu Huaiyu didn't expect that Senior Brother Su, who usually looked quite amiable, seemed to have become more and more domineering since he returned to Hebei, and he would kill others with a knife at every turn.
Half-faced Li Jinyan also supported Su Lie, "Those Sogdian rich people, there is only one He Mingyuan. In this quiet place, who doesn't know that this guy has a lot of money? If we directly send troops to destroy them, the Youzhou Governor's Office will not worry.
We have money and food for the military.”
"The tens of thousands of Sogdian Hu can still be sold for a good price, especially Tuoji mercenaries. They are very popular in the slave market, and the price is very high. A Tuoji slave is worth as much as a BMW."
A few guys said it was easy, but they were very cruel.
Huaiyu could only shake his head, "Conquer others with virtue, conquer others with virtue!"
"Please ask Lu Canjun to call He Mingyuan."
Lu Chengye walked out of the military tent and felt a chill on his back. He actually heard a cold sweat just now. These guys are really cruel. Fortunately, the Lu family knew how to cooperate with current affairs. It is estimated that Wu Huaiyu was like this behind his back when he first came to Youzhou.
Let's talk about dealing with Lu and others.
These guys from Chang'an are more brutal than the other.
With some secret joy, Lu Chengye came out to see He Mingyuan.
When he saw Lu Chengye coming, he took off his beard and exposed his shaved head, which was different from the Turkic people's haircuts.
"One horse for every ten households."
"Since you are on the land of the imperial court, you are the subjects of the imperial court. You must abide by the imperial court laws and pay the imperial court taxes. This governor can grant you He Mingyuan as the Sabao of Beiyan Prefecture. You, thousands of Sogdian barbarians, can also inherit it.
You can live and work in peace and contentment here, and do business and trade, but the prerequisite is that you must organize households and people and accept the rule of the imperial court."
Wu Huaiyu laughed twice.
"Captain, the young Sabao is just a traditional name for us Sogdians. It is different from the official position of Sabao in the imperial court. The Sabao in the imperial court is the guardian of protection, and our Sabao is the treasure of Baoyu," the old Jianghu said.
I also started to bullshit.
This is the threat of Chiguoguo.
He Mingyuan is almost seventy years old this year, but he is still in good spirits. He wears a tight-fitting robe with narrow sleeves and double lapels, with different-colored edges on the collar and cuffs, a pointed beard hat, and boots.
Be the first to win.
Su Lie stood up, glared at He Mingyuan fiercely, and then said with murderous intent, "My subordinate, the governor, is incompetent. Please ask the governor for permission to let my subordinate lead three thousand soldiers of the Qingyi Army in Beiyan Province to wipe out these invasions for the imperial court."
Bullshit,"
Wu Huaiyu smiled and said, "Chief Su, under your rule in Beiyan Province, there are barbarians who are dissatisfied with the king's rule and want to separate themselves and establish themselves. What do you say?"
"This Sabao is recommended by the same clan."
"hehe."
He Mingyuan settled in Dingzhou during the Sui Dynasty, which was not far from Youzhou. He used to manage a post station in Dingzhou and was regarded as an official. He took advantage of the convenience of his position and his business acumen to make a fortune. His family was extremely wealthy. He also had dealings with the Fan Yang Lu family.
.
Want to reach a deal with certain conditions through negotiation.
Secondly, the Sogdian Hu settlements will be changed into townships, which will be subordinate to each county. The sabaos, priests, etc. of each settlement will have no administrative and judicial powers, and will only have the power to mediate internal civil disputes equivalent to the clan heads.
If you appoint yourself an official, that is rebellion.
"Su Jishi, you lead the Qing Yi army to set off immediately and take over the Qiaoxi market first. Anyone who dares to stop them will be regarded as a rebellion and will be killed without mercy!"
Su Dingfang raised his long spear high, and countless Qingyi army light cavalry advanced like a strong wind.
"He Mingyuan, you are already old, so don't go further down the wrong path. Three thousand families of yours have managed to stay stable here for several years. Don't bring them all to hell!"
After the eight hundred Tuoji warriors were recruited and transferred, the remaining Sogdian Hus could keep some light bows and swords, but were not allowed to possess armor, strong bows, crossbows, horses, spears and other weapons.
Both armies are light cavalry.
"Think twice about what? Think twice about paying tribute and taxes to Jieli and Turli, or are you Sogdian tribesmen holding important positions in the Turkic Khanate?"
But Wu Huaiyu didn't stop talking.
Later, he went bankrupt and left the Great Wall, then returned to Yu Yanshui, started his business again, and had many contacts with the Lu family.
"For every twenty households, one person is chosen to be a soldier, and for the martial arts regiment, one person is chosen for every ten households."
Wu Huaiyu just looked at the old man coldly and dared to come alone to see him, which showed that the old man actually still hoped to make peace and make money, and did not want to confront him directly.
Soon, three thousand light cavalry approached.
"He Mingyuan, you call yourself Sabao, who granted you Sabao?" Wu Huaiyu asked.
He Mingyuan's son He Shenfu led the already prepared Babai Tuojie out of the second mile of the market to fight.
Su Lie issued a military order and ordered three thousand Qingyi troops to mount light cavalry, crossing the gap in the Great Wall like the wind and heading toward the Qiaoxi Market, ten miles south.
"Please take a closer look, the Governor. These are actually caused by special reasons since the Sui Dynasty. The Great Wall was not destroyed by us..."
"Youzhou Governor's Office will garrison troops and immigrate to the four newly established counties, and will enclose land for farming. The land you are farming now will still be yours after it is registered and the land title is issued. Don't worry about this,"
In the past, I only thought that Yan Peipei was cruel and that Li Yuan was greedy and ruthless, but I didn't expect that the young Governor Wu was not inferior to them at all.
"Three days, give your subordinates three days, and they will wipe out all three thousand thieves. The men will be sent to Chicheng County to dig iron ore, and the women and children will be sold to Chang'an, Luoyang, Youzhou and other places. The proceeds will be
Livestock, grain, cloth, money, and silk must all be turned over to the Governor's Office."
He Mingyuan couldn't help but frowned.
He Mingyuan immediately became unwilling and quickly raised a bunch of objections. He even refused to hand over the eight hundred Tuoji warriors. He asked Wu Huaiyu to establish a new Jisizhou in the three hundred miles of Yanshui and still give them self-government. They
I am willing to pay a tribute of money and grain to the Youzhou Governor's Mansion every year.
He Shenfu was very confident in his Eight Hundred Tuojie. He raised his gun and roared to attack head on. Su Lie, who was wearing Mingguang Armor, was overjoyed when he saw this, "Run over!"
First, their eight hundred Tuoji warriors will be recruited by the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, incorporated into the Youzhou armies, and stationed in various places.
The city west of the bridge will be expanded into Guangning County, and the gap in the Great Wall to the north will be built as Guancheng Wubao. The border city will still be retained and will become the Guangning border city that trades with the Turks.
Stepping into the tent, He Mingyuan immediately felt a lot of oppression.
"Please, Governor, please think twice,"
Wu Huaiyu directly set out the conditions.
"What's more, this Yu Yanshui is within the Great Wall. It has always been our territory in the Central Plains. Whether it is Tuli or Jieli, how dare they interfere in the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty again?"
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, he has experienced a lot. Later, he returned to the pass and settled here. He also dealt with Luo Yi, Gao Tansheng, Gao Kaidao and even Liu Heitao, Yuan Junzhang, etc., and barely managed to hold on to this legacy.
He Mingyuan shut up immediately.
Wu Huaiyu first labeled him as a rebel when he came up.
"Since the beginning of 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, Youzhou Sabao, Yongzhou Sabao with seven ranks, and Zhouhu Sabao with more than 200 households.
, regarded as the ninth grade."
He Mingyuan Laojianghu couldn't help but panic at this time. Sogdian Hu Shan was running a business. Although he was also protected by Tuoji warriors, he had experienced the Sui Dynasty. His entire family fortune had been plundered, and he had also witnessed the most turbulent days.
Here, I have seen how the Sogdian Hu settlement villages in Yiding and other places were looted and destroyed by official troops, peasant troops, bandits, horse bandits, etc. I have seen the pitiful end of many tribesmen.
"Although Sabao is a high-ranking official, it is also an official position in the imperial court and a famous national weapon. How dare you call yourself Sabao?"
Turks are accustomed to braiding their hair, while Sogdian beards generally cut their heads, that is, they cut their hair into short ears, which is completely different from the Han people's hair buns.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lu Wulang. I wonder if Governor Wu would like to see He?"
"Send Hesabao to rest first,"
Anyway, what Wu Huaiyu said was very clear, you are now the people of the Tang Dynasty, everything must be done according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and you will no longer be able to enjoy the special status of foreigners like before.
From now on, every ding will also have to serve 20 days of regular service for a year. After reaching the age of 18, he will also have to serve in the sex service. In addition, there will be rent transfer, which is levied according to the ding.
In addition, there are household taxes and free warehouse taxes, and for business, there are industrial and commercial municipal taxes and customs duties.
"I wonder what Governor Wu's attitude is?"
"Oh, is it so?"
According to this requirement, three thousand households of Sogdian Hu are ordered to order 150 government soldiers and another 300 united cavalry.
"Please ask the governor to calculate the amount of money and grain that you have to pay tribute."
"I heard that He Sabao moved to the Great Wall Pass, destroyed the Great Wall to open a gap, and kept outside the traffic jam. He also continued to pay tribute and taxes to Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan?"
"Talk? I have already mentioned all the conditions that the Governor should raise, so what else are there to talk about?"
"Your Zoroastrian Temple will not be moved, but when the time comes, the new immigrants will have to live with you."
fortunately.
But the current attitude of Governor Wu seems to be difficult to get along with.
"Captain Wu was a little unhappy with He Sabao's attitude," Lu Chengye told the truth.
Xiu Mingyuan is also an old man in the world, but he has never seen Wu Huaiyu pretending to be confused and just talking like this.
"You have been living in my land in the Central Plains, but you have not paid any taxes to my Central Plains for ten years, and you have not even paid tribute to me in the Central Plains, and you still have 800 Tuoji mercenaries?"
Huaiyu waved his hand and Su Lie took the order and left.
This is military service, so the number of clicks is not that many.
"I asked Lu Wulang to pass a message to you before. I don't have to investigate the past, but now, I have to follow the rules of the court."
He Mingyuan said that it would be difficult for the three thousand Sogdian Hu households to accept this condition.
He Mingyuan panicked, "Captain, I have no other intentions. Please ask the Commander not to send troops. We can talk."
"Dudu Wu invites He Sabao to meet, please."
"Yu Yanshui Sa Bao He Mingyuan met with Governor Wu!"
He Mingyuan didn't say anything, this was a fact.
"The imperial court has its own land. Does it still need you to pay tribute? It has its own laws. Just tax it in accordance with the law."
The four counties of Yongxing, Wende, Huai'an and Guangning are newly established counties in the western part of Beiyan Prefecture. Sogdian Hujiu in the Yanshui Basin are included in the four counties.
"I am telling you now that Tuli Khan has officially declared war on Jieli Khan. Now that they are at war, no one can care about you."
He Mingyuan's face looks like a bitter gourd.
The two cavalry troops collided fiercely.
One is the famous Tuoji Army on the Silk Road, which has been famous for hundreds of years, while the other is a newly established army of the Qingyi Army, which is unknown. He Shenfu originally thought that he could defeat the Tang Army on the opposite side in one fell swoop, but who knew that the Tang Cavalry was brave
Incomparably, not only was he not defeated, but eight hundred Tuojie were smashed into pieces. In the blink of an eye, he was killed by Tang Qi.
The flag fell in the dust, and He Shenfu was also knocked off his horse and captured alive. Su Dingfang defeated eight hundred Tuojie in one fell swoop, but he still felt unsatisfied, "Warrior Tuojie, that's it? You're wasting your fame!"
