If we talk about Li Chengqian’s reputation, it’s good or bad.
It really depends on where you are and who you ask.
If you ask those nobles from aristocratic families, of course they are stinky.
After all, because of his existence, he blocked a lot of roads for nobles from aristocratic families.
By improving the imperial examination, the family lost a good opportunity to promote their nephew and win over people's hearts. .??.??
And the creation of Shidao caused the family to lose its local dominance.
To put it simply, a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family should only focus on the interests of a thousand years.
But because of the emergence of Li Chengqian, some aristocratic families also experienced faults.
This is true not only in terms of talent but also in terms of kinship.
In this case, how could the aristocratic family not hate him?
And this is also the reason why those ministers from aristocratic families are so resistant to Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne.
Of course, there are those who hate him and those who love him.
Because of the imperial examination, children from poor families had the opportunity to move up.
Because of the ten ways, there were many vacant official positions in the court, which could be provided to poor families and some young talents.
Therefore, young talents from poor families and the imperial court had less opinions on Li Chengqian and even supported him.
And there are those who hate him and those who love him, and naturally there are those who are afraid of him.
Such as these nomadic peoples.
Mentioning Li Chengqian's name here will not only make people frightened, but at the very least it will make people feel scared.
After all, this guy's record is too strong.
Not to mention the Northern Desert and Tuyuhun, the mighty Western Expedition in the Western Regions left many people with a psychological shadow.
As soon as he heard Li Chengqian's name, his first reaction was to run away.
After all, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Qiuci Kingdom are no joke.
Also taking advantage of Li Chengqian's name, Yimang also started a massive recruitment project.
But within two days, Huang Fan, who was sent out to recruit troops, ran into Yimang's royal tent.
"Khan .”
Huang Fan straightened his hands towards Yimang.
Seeing him coming, Yimang raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Didn't you be responsible for recording the number of soldiers? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"this……"
"Now a lot of soldiers have been recruited."
"But the number is really too small. Until now, there are only 5,000 people enlisted in the army."
Huang Fan said with a bitter look on his face: "It is really because I am incompetent and cannot convince everyone..."
Now Yimang wants to change the original military law.
From all the people being soldiers, and those who are willing to be soldiers, it was changed to the government army system adopted by the Tang Dynasty.
It is nothing more than allowing all adult men in the tribe to participate in the war.
But don’t forget, Yimang’s previous hidden clumsiness was indeed what allowed him to survive.
But it was also true, and it caused him to lose a lot of popular support and even more trust.
The people of Xueyantuo did not believe in him, let alone that he could bring them a better life.
So, who is willing to put their head in their waistband and fight for him?
However, this was also what Yiman had expected.
He said directly to Huang Fan: "Go and pass on my order."
"As long as there are five soldiers in each household, they can move to live near the king's tent."
The pasture near the king's tent is the most lush.
It's just that we are closer to the Khan and subject to more control, so we may not have as much freedom.
Therefore, after saying this, Yi Mang directly added: "If there are ten soldiers, we can move to the pasture with the richest water and grass in the south."
"If there are twenty people, I will directly draw a part of the pasture and give it to the tribal leader."
Although the water plants in the south are not as abundant as those near the king's tent, they are better because they are far away from the king's tent.
Wherever people live, they will be relatively free.
And that kind of life is exactly what nomadic people like Xue Yantuo yearn for.
Obviously, this is where Yimang wants to pay real benefits to bribe the people.
And if you let people fight, of course you have to allow them to benefit.
This is also the simplest and most effective method.
However, Huang Fan had different opinions about Yimang promising such a huge reward to others.
He said: "Khan, there are already dozens of family members and tribes of ministers around us."
"If we move some more, I'm afraid these ministers will have objections."
Xueyantuo is a nomadic people, and their living customs are naturally different from those of the Tang Dynasty.
Their habit is to lead the family wherever they go.
Each family usually has twenty to thirty people, or even hundreds of people.
The people who work around Yi Mang all have their own families.
In order to facilitate Yimang's work, their families were naturally arranged near the king's tent in the Pugu Department.
If a large number of people are suddenly relocated, unnecessary conflicts will naturally occur.
Pastures, sheep, horses, etc. are all problems.
If one situation is not handled well, it will definitely lead to a new round of disputes.
However, Yi Mang didn't care about this.
He waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you just need to follow my instructions."
"I only have one request."
"Within a month, I will see an army of more than 50,000 people."
Having said this, Yimang paused.
"I can tell you the truth."
"War could break out at any time."
"If we are not prepared, we will only become the victims of others."
“If you don’t want to die, you must rise up in anger, and even more, you must plan for reform.” "If at this critical moment, there are still people who are different from me..."
He suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we can only let him... die."
His last words were very plain.
It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was not something to be taken lightly.
But Huang Fan next to him secretly clicked his tongue.
He could tell that Yimang was not joking with him.
But it is a real resolution to let some disobedient people die.
Although, he didn't quite understand why his lord had changed from the submissive coward to a vigorous and resolute person.
But he also knew that Yimang's changes were a good thing.
At the very least, I don't need to worry about the future of the bone department in the future.
Thinking of this, Huang Fan raised his hands towards Yi Mang and said, "I accept your order."
After saying that, Huang Fan walked straight out of the military tent.
At this moment, only Yimang was left in the military tent.
He put down the military book in his hand and looked at the map behind him, with a cold look in his eyes.
…
Chang'an City at this moment, inside the imperial palace.
Eunuch Zhou came to meet Li Shimin with news about Beimo.
And when Li Shimin read the report, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He shook off the letter in his hand and said: "This kid's plan is really ruthless and vicious."
Hearing this, Duke Zhou said fairly: "But isn't this the best way to fight against these northern barbarians?"
"That's true."
"However, this boy is still too young and his methods are too immature."
Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said: "Next, you must keep an eye on the trends over there."
"If anything happens, report it to me immediately."
Li Shimin rubbed his chin and said: "I think about it, in the end I'm afraid we will have to take action personally..."
