After Yang Hao heard what Mu Qingxuan said, he couldn't wait any longer. He immediately boarded the car and drove straight to the magistrate's Yamen. He also ordered Bisu, Mu Yu and others to go separately to find the ladies. They all went to the Magistrate's Yamen.
Seeing that Yang Hao drove to the prefect's Yamen, he changed his face and official robes, and then went straight to the lobby. At this time, Fan Siqi, Lin Pengyu and other government officials had arrived after hearing the news.
When Yang Hao saw that the officials had not arrived, he first asked his staff: "I heard that the relatives of the Mu Tuan envoys came from the grassland to defect. What is the estimated population? Where are they resettled now?"
Lin Pengyu said hurriedly: "Yes, sir, the relatives of Mu Tuan Lian Envoy have come to seek refuge after hearing the news. There are 1,322 tents and 5,446 people. Some of them, women, children and the elderly are already in Hougu."
After settling down, they dug cave dwellings and built shacks for them to live in. Their tribesmen brought a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. In order to facilitate grazing, the old man designated a pasture ten miles outside the valley for them to build tents, live and graze.
.”
Luling Valley is said to be a valley because, except for the exit in front, it is surrounded by mountains. This valley is winding and winding, extending back along the mountains. It is not a straight passage. The widest part of the valley is fifteen meters wide.
Six miles, the narrowest point is only five or six miles. After passing Yang Hao's magistrate's office, and then going back, there is still a huge space. After nearly twenty miles, the ground slowly closes up and disappears among the mountains.
among.
According to Yang Hao's plan, after tens of thousands of people were registered and sorted out, areas were demarcated and settled according to the administrative divisions of the township. Small villages and towns were dotted in the valley and extended backwards. As soon as they entered
Directly in front of this spacious space of the valley is the prefect's Yamen. Built on the left and right sides of the prefect's Yamen against the mountains, it is the accommodation place for the officials. On both sides of the front valley, there are inns, shops, restaurants and other commercial and entertainment venues.
The cave dwellings on both sides of the valley entrance were dug through and connected inside to serve as caves for hiding soldiers.
Lin Pengyu's arrangement not only took care of the living habits of the Li Guangcen people, allowing their women, children, the elderly and the weak to live in the valley or engage in industry, commerce, or farming, but also relieved their worries. The arrangement was reasonable. Yang Hao nodded and said: "The arrangements are very good.
Well, whether it is Khitan or other ethnic groups, but there are multiple ethnic groups living together, most of them are managed by separate officials according to their ethnic customs and living habits. For example, the Khitan has set up the South Court and the North Court manages the Han and Khitan people respectively.
, This is a reasonable arrangement. Otherwise, disputes will arise over time. They each have different customs, which must be taken into consideration, and cannot be unrealistic and force integration. This kind of thing requires a long process."
Lin Pengyu only said yes, and Yang Hao asked them about the progress of civil affairs during this period. Cheng Dexuan, Li Guangcen, Ke Zhen'e and other civil and military officials had arrived one after another. Yang Hao arranged the seats for them to sit down one by one.
Asked about the causes and experiences of recent conflicts with other tribal groups.
It turns out that in the days after Yang Hao left, the business between the people of Luling Prefecture and the Dangxiang Qi family was booming. At the same time, many people who had no livelihood for the time being went into the mountains in groups to hunt, pick millet and other wild fruits, or sell or dry them.
Dry storage, while the hunted wild animals are marinated in animal meat, tanned fur, and prepared for winter use. Originally, these spontaneous actions were very good. The people had something to do, and the hesitation and anxiety lingering among the people also disappeared.
.
But as the hunters traveled further, they gradually came into contact with some small Qiang tribes living in the mountains. These tribes were not big, with the largest ones having only a few hundred people. After contacting them, the Qiang people from some small tribes knew that
Knowing the existence of these Han people in Luling Prefecture, he brought the animal skins and wild animals he hunted to Luling Prefecture for sale. Because there were many merchants coming and going in Luling Prefecture, most of their animal skins and meat could be sold at a good price.
They bought some coarse tea salt cloth and went back. Everyone was very happy. After the news spread, Qiang tribes from further away came to trade with them.
However, the Qiang tribes are not all friendly. These small tribes still know how to do business according to etiquette, while those of the larger tribes are more domineering and barbaric. Sometimes they buy and sell by force, which inevitably leads to disputes with merchants in Luling Prefecture. At the same time,
Among these Han merchants, there were also those who stole money and exploited their business. They often used shoddy goods to deceive them when bartering, and the conflict between the two sides began to escalate.
These Qiang people suffered a loss and gathered their tribesmen to make trouble when they returned. At first, they were just relatives and friends. Once a fight broke out between the two sides, it quickly evolved into a war for the entire tribe. Originally, Cheng Dexuan regarded these incidents as civil disputes and wanted to punish them.
Mediation was carried out, but those Qiang people didn't know the king's laws. They came to stir up trouble at first, and then they turned into robbing and venting their anger on the way, and robbed the wealthy businessmen who were coming and going.
As soon as they got the advantage, these people became more and more knowledgeable, and more and more people gathered together. They roared in the mountains and forests, and simply acted like bandits, treating Luling Prefecture as a piece of fat meat that they could take whatever they wanted. Li Guangcen and Ke Zhen'e both
A regiment training envoy hurriedly organized a regiment to patrol and defend. After several fierce battles with them, the conflict between the two sides became more intense and developed into a war between the Han people in Luling Prefecture and the local indigenous Qiang people.
In order to prevent them from sneaking into Luling Prefecture from time to time to kill people and plunder goods, Ke Tuanlian set up police posts around the area. However, these newly formed Minzhuang were no match for the barbaric Qiang people. The people of Luling Prefecture were on the ground.
They suffered some heavy losses. Fortunately, thousands of people from Li Guangcen's tribe came from the Tufan grassland at this time. Both men and women, old and young, from this tribe were skilled in riding and shooting. Mu En recruited young men from among them to join the militia, which made up for the strong local people.
Many of them are farmers who have just put down their hoes, and their fighting ability is not yet strong enough.
Yang Hao frowned when he heard this, glanced at Li Guangcen and said: "Mr. Mu, which clan of Dangxiang Qiang are these Qiang people?" When he thought about it, he had formed a secret alliance with the Dangxiang Qi clan, and as a Qi clan, he
Could it be that the co-owner of the clan could not restrain these Qiang people, so why did the trouble get out of hand?
Li Guangcen looked at his eyes and knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Master Futai, the Qiang people have many tribal branches that are not affiliated with each other. The so-called Dangxiang Eight Clan are just the eight largest clans in the tribe. In the Hengshan area, the largest one is Yeli
clan, but there are many other tribes. These tribes, large and small, are scattered in the Hengshan area. The largest tribes only have three to five hundred tribesmen, and the smaller tribes only have dozens of tribesmen, but the total number is thirteen to four thousand tribes. They have both
They herd and hunt, and also learned farming from the Han people. These Qiang tribes are as brave and good at fighting as the Yeli clan, especially good at mountain warfare, but they are neither under the jurisdiction of Xiazhou nor Linfu."
Yang Hao touched his nose and said in shock: "There are at least 60,000 or 70,000 Qiang people out of more than 10,000 tents. However, with so many people, they are ignored by the heavens and the earth, and even the three vassals ignore them?"
When Cheng Dexuan went from Bazhou to serve in the northern Han Dynasty, he carefully studied the geographical situation and humanistic situation of the northwest, and also knew a little about the situation here. Seeing that Yang Hao was a little confused, he said: "Master Futai, these Qiang people are scattered
The Hengshan Mountains are not easy to manage, and the folk customs are fierce, so whether it is Xiazhou or Linzhou, they mainly focus on appeasing them."
Yang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What is comfort?"
Cheng Dexuan smiled faintly and replied slowly: "The so-called appeasement means to grant official positions and salaries to the Hengshan Qiang tribes, and not to pay taxes and levy, but only to ask them not to cause trouble. The Hengshan Qiang people are wild and untamed, and they are different from the Han people.
After living together for a long time, they have learned to be cunning and cunning. Sometimes they turn to Xiazhou, sometimes they turn to Linfu. They rely on their own self-respect and are extremely difficult to govern."
He didn't know that Mu En and others were originally Qiang people, so he made unscrupulous comments. Seeing that Yang Hao was fascinated by what he heard, he took a sip of tea and talked eloquently: "I, the Song Dynasty people, often treat these Qiang people as strangers and familiar households.
Difference. The division of raw and mature households is based on geography and whether they are civilized or not, but the most practical thing is whether the leaders of each tribe surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Those who surrendered to the Song Dynasty are familiar households. But these familiar households are not static.
When you surrendered to the Song Dynasty, you were a mature fan. If you rebelled one day, you became a raw fan again.
In the past, during the war between Fuzhou, Linzhou and Xiazhou, they vigorously lured the Qiang people who did not belong to any party. Linfu and Linzhou continued to lure the unborn households into mature households with generous profits, while Xiazhou coerced the mature households into becoming mature households.
Mingsheng household. As time goes by, the Hengshan Qiang people are well aware of the benefits, and they have become ruffian, cunning, capricious, erratic, and have become more and more arrogant."
Li Guangcen, Mu En and others had a look of shame on their faces after hearing this, as if they were ashamed to have such a clan member. Yang Hao was silent for a while, then looked at Ke Zhen'e and said, "Ke Tuanlian, what are the casualties in these days of fighting?"
Ke Zhen'e stood up and reported: "Master Futai, in the first few days it was just a private grudge fight between the Qiang people and our merchants in Luling Prefecture. Several people died and a dozen people were injured. But then the Qiang people retaliated in large numbers.
In the past few days, under open and covert attacks, our Luling Prefecture people have suffered hundreds of casualties, and more than 20 people in Tuanlian Minzhuang have been killed, and..."
Yang Hao regarded the people of Luling as his relatives. Hearing that hundreds of people had been killed or injured, he was filled with anger. Hearing his hesitation, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "And what?"
Ke Zhen'e was glanced at by him, and he couldn't help but trembled, and he replied anxiously: "We, the people of Luling Prefecture, were injured, but they also attacked merchants, robbed their wealth, and killed their people. The past two days...
…Two days ago, a businessman surnamed Huang came to our Luling Prefecture with his female family members. As a result, they were attacked by Hengshan Qiang gangsters on the road. Their goods were robbed by them, and the female family members were gang-raped to death by them. Then...the businessman surnamed Huang was attacked by them.
The body was dismembered by five horses, and the head and limbs... were scattered everywhere. We searched for several miles before we found it. It made merchants everywhere panic. The roads have been deserted for the past two days, and no merchants dared to come."
Yang Hao took the case with his hands, his eyes gradually turned red. Ke Zhen E looked at him, who had always been elegant, but now his eyes were a little ferocious. He felt a little timid and did not dare to look at him. Yang Hao was silent for a while and sneered:
"Okay! What a good idea. What will happen to the people of our Luling Prefecture?"
Before Ke Zhen E could answer, he heard howling and noisy outside the Yamen. Yang Hao was startled and hurriedly walked out. Cheng Dexuan, Li Guangcen and others looked at each other and followed him out. Yang Hao went out.
At the gate of the mansion, there was darkness outside the government office, and countless people shouted: "Master Yang is back? Master Yang is making decisions for the people..."
As soon as the door of the mansion was opened and Yang Hao walked out, the people fell to the ground one after another, banging their heads on the ground and making a "dong-dong" sound. Some people screamed sadly: "Sir, my lord, the fertile fields I have opened are useless."
Our wooden houses were all destroyed by the Hengshan barbarians. I beg you, the adults, and the common people to make the decision."
A white-haired old man crawled to Yang Hao's feet, hugged his boots and burst into tears: "My lord, my lord, Xiaomin's grandson is only six years old. He never died in the hands of the Khitan people, and he never lost his life in that barren place."
Land, but was killed by Hengshan barbarians, they... they put my grandson on the tip of a spear, my lord..."
Before the old man could finish his sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The common people said something to each other, and although what they said was fragmented, it was shocking to hear. In the yamen, Yang Hao only heard his subordinates say, "The common people have suffered hundreds of casualties," but he didn't know his feelings.
The situation was so miserable. Yang Hao's eyes were red when he heard it, and there were tears in his eyes, and the tears were faintly red as if they were stained with blood.
He raised his hands high, and the shouts of the people immediately stopped, leaving only suppressed cries: "Fellow folks, this government already knows about your affairs."
Yang Hao paused for a moment, suppressed his anger, and said: "I just came back and am discussing this matter with you adults. Folks, please go back. Your relatives are my relatives. This matter
This government will decide the matter impartially and give everyone an explanation."
Yang Jincheng led the officers who stopped outside the yamen and loudly exhorted them. The common people had always believed in Yang Hao. After getting his promise, they withdrew in tears. Yang Hao stood with his hands in hand until the common people retreated one by one, then returned.
Return to the house.
As soon as Yang Hao returned to the lobby, he slapped the desk and shouted angrily: "Although we in Luling do not have a strong military force, we have a fortified city and high walls. Isn't that enough to protect ourselves? Although Minzhuang has only been trained for a short period of time, it is not as good as the Dangxiang Qi clan."
When doing business, we also practiced in fake battles. Moreover... Thousands of grassland herdsmen from the Mulao tribe came to surrender, and they are all excellent in riding and shooting. Why... why couldn't they defend Luling Prefecture?"
All the officials lowered their heads. After a long while, Li Guangcen said softly: "Master Futai, the Hengshan Qiang people are good at riding and shooting, especially at setting up ambushes in the mountains and jungles. Our fortress is not complete yet, mainly because of
The defenses outside the valley were strengthened, and these Qiang people mostly came to attack along the mountains. This was one of them.
In the past two days, Ke Tuanlian and his wife have led the people to strengthen the defenses in the back valley and the mountains behind the valley. They have arranged manpower and designed many hidden traps and trip wires. They really suffered some losses when the Qiang people attacked, so they turned around.
Then they went around the outside of the valley and attacked the merchants traveling to and from Luling Prefecture. They were small in number, ranging from dozens to hundreds to three to five or more than ten. They came and went freely in the reed swamps and were extremely difficult to detect.
And because there are so few people, you only need to carry a small amount of dry food and you can lurk nearby for a long time, which is really hard to guard against."
Yang Hao let out a long breath and sat back in his seat to meditate. All the officials and staff were observing his expression. This time the matter was very difficult. If it was not handled carefully, it would lead to irreconcilable conflicts with the local indigenous people and cause even more trouble.
Big conflict.
These Hengshan Qiang do not belong to any party, and they do not even have a complete social system. In addition, there is no affiliation between the various tribes, so it is not easy to establish contact with them in terms of politics, economy, or culture.
I want to find a Qiang leader to sit down and talk with, but I don’t know who to look for.
However, although there is no unified leadership, these Qiang people share the same hatred of the enemy. In addition, the local San Francisco is used to indulging them, which has developed their arrogant and arrogant temper. Now that they have benefited from robbery, how can they still be willing to do so?
Give up and give up.
No one is more familiar with and in control of the local geography than these local aborigines. They were born and raised as servants, and their eyes and ears are everywhere. Whether it is Xiazhou, Fuzhou or Linzhou, they are everywhere in this area.
It is a fortress-style military garrison. Once a war breaks out, they will bribe and win over these Hengshan Qiang people at all costs.
In addition to the Hengshan Qiang people being brave and good at fighting, this is because they are afraid that they will fall to their opponents. Another main reason is that the communication between the forts, the transmission of information, and the transportation of food and grass cannot be separated from the cooperation of these local people, otherwise they will
Once we start fighting guerrillas and stumble into obstacles, the battle will be unwinnable.
Test, this is the first major test after Yang Hao became the prefect of Luling. Whether Luling Prefecture can gain a foothold, although there are many dangers, not every ordinary person has the vision to see that kind of crisis. Only a few high-level officials can see it.
Only individuals can see it. The current conflict with the Hengshan Qiang people is a painful experience for every common person. If we cannot provide protection and give them confidence, it is difficult to say that these common people will not flee Luling Prefecture.
, became refugees scattered everywhere, and even became bandits.
Especially after the Hengshan Qiang people attacked the merchants, the Dangxiang Qiang people naturally did not worry about transporting various supplies here, because not only did they belong to the same Zhou clan as the Hengshan Qiang people, but they also had more powerful force than the scattered Hengshan Qiang people.
.However, the merchants coming from Fuzhou and the Central Plains cannot be protected by strong force, and the merchants from Luling Prefecture do not even have bodyguards for their families.
If this matter cannot be resolved properly and once and for all, no matter how big the profits are, merchants will not come to Luling Prefecture to do business at the risk of death. There is plenty of business to do in the world, so why take risks here? Yang Hao's development
Plans to establish 'special zones' in special areas for industry, commerce, and special areas will be aborted.
Yang Hao pondered for a long time, slowly raised his eyes, and asked gloomily: "Mu Tuan Lian."
Li Guangcen is his adoptive father, but few people know about this relationship, including his status as co-head of the seven Dangxiang clans. In front of others, the two of them must maintain their status as master and subordinate. When Yang Hao called, Li Guangcen
He immediately stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Master Futai."
Yang Hao asked: "If we, Luling Prefecture, and the Hengshan Qiang people are enemies, what are your chances of winning?"
Li Guangcen's eyes narrowed, but he saw Yang Hao's eyes were only staring at the flags and arrows on the case, not looking at him. He didn't know what Yang Hao was thinking, so he could only answer truthfully: "Sir, the Luling Prefecture Militia has just been established, and it is still important to protect yourself."
However, the tribesmen under his command came from the Tubo grassland to surrender. Each of these thousands of tribesmen are skilled in riding and shooting, and they also brought a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses, which can be used. Although the Hengshan Qiang people have
There are nearly 100,000 people, but they are scattered and scattered. The largest tribe has less than 1,000 tribes. Therefore, if I send troops, unless the Hengshan Qiang people form an alliance and form a group, elect a common leader and order them to follow one another to form a large army, otherwise
No match for us."
Yang Hao's eyes flashed slightly and he said again: "Ke Tuanlian."
Ke Zhen E stepped out, cupped his fists and saluted, "Sir."
Yang Hao said: "The Hengshan Qiang people are used to fighting in mountains and jungles, and your Muke village is built on mountains and ridges, and they are also familiar with fighting in mountains and jungles. I want to ask you, if the Hengshan Qiang people fight in the vast mountains again
When they are attacked, can you stop them from invading our Luling Prefecture and killing our people in Luling?"
Ke Zhen'e crossed his hands and saluted: "Reporting to Lord Futai, I have brought only a dozen villagers from Muke Village, and the local regiment has only a short time to train the people. If they are to compete with the Hengshan Qiang in the vast jungle, at present,
...It really can't be done. However, if we just prevent them from invading our Luling Prefecture, the enemy attacks and we defend, we have the advantage of the location, and if we do some tricks in the jungle in advance, I can be sure to stop them outside the valley."
"Okay, very good." Yang Hao slowly raised his head, with a gloomy smile on his face: "I just heard what Mu Lao said, it is really impossible to guard against the attack of the Dangxiang Qiang people. This is what I want to come...
The truth is, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days? Since it is impossible to defend, then attack, what do you think?"
All the officials looked at each other, and Cheng Dexuan asked belatedly: "How do you want to be treated, sir?"
Yang Hao gritted his teeth and smiled solemnly, saying: "Take the other person's way and give it back to him."
He straightened his body, held his palm like a knife, slashed down diagonally, and said with a sneer: "Ke Tuanlian is responsible for defense, and the wall we have hammered in Luling Valley is like a copper wall and an iron wall, which does not allow Xiaoxiao to break in. Mu Tuanlian is responsible for offense, actively looking for and
The Hengshan Qiang village in Luling Prefecture is in trouble.
Now is the autumn harvest season. Those who make a living by farming should cut off their crops and leave no grain seeds to them. Those who make a living by hunting should set fire to the mountains and drive all the birds and beasts thousands of miles away.
Go out; those who make a living by herding, take away their cattle, sheep and horses, and I will see how they survive this winter."
As soon as Yang Hao said this, two people were shocked and said at the same time: "Master Futai, you must not do this." One of these two people was Cheng Dexuan, and the other was Fan Siqi.
Yang Hao had a calm expression, raised his eyelids slightly, and asked Cheng Dexuan: "What do you think Mr. Cheng has to say?"
Cheng Dexuan saw his sinister expression today, which was very different from his past. He knew that he was now full of anger and trying to hold it back. However, thinking about the terrible consequences of such revenge, he still said bravely: "Sir, Hengshan Qiang
People have bad tempers, but they are good at fighting. From this ridge down, there are hundreds of thousands of Qiang people scattered in the Hengshan area. Once they are angered, the consequences will be disastrous. In the opinion of the lower officials, any conflicts with the Hengshan Qiang people should be appeased.
Lord.”
Yang Hao held the desk with both hands and said with a half-smile: "Oh, tell me how to comfort me?"
Cheng Dexuan composed himself and said: "In the opinion of the following officials, we can make people meet with the leaders of the Hengshan Qiang tribe and mediate them. Several small Qiang tribes near our Luling Prefecture not only do fair business with us, but also have
They also moved their families into the valley. These people are the best messengers. We can ask them to come forward and communicate with the Qiang leaders who are enemies of us. Following the old practices of Linzhou and Fuzhou, we can set up more
Wealth, silk, cloth, rice, flour, oil and salt were given to these Qiang tribes to ease the relationship between them.
In order to appease these Qiang people, the imperial court gave rewards to various tribes of the Qiang people. The chiefs who managed a population of 100 tents or above were all awarded the title of military commander of their tribe, and those with a population of 100 tents or less were granted the title of commander, so they all had the authority of the imperial court.
For official positions, we can also use the same title of minister as a reason to interact with them and establish friendship. As for these conflicts, both sides have suffered casualties. In order to calm things down, it is not appropriate to pursue further investigations. In order to appease the anger of the Qiang people..."
Cheng Dexuan hesitated for a moment and said: "As an observation judge, I am in charge of the laws of Luzhou. The people of the Northern Han Dynasty who we moved here are mixed, including those who commit crimes and commit crimes. Now there are seven people imprisoned and sentenced.
In order to quell the anger of the Qiang people, we can pretend that these seven prisoners were the chief culprits in killing the Qiang people and execute them in front of the Qiang people. Bribe them with benefits and show them kindness. A two-pronged approach should calm the matter and return our favor.
Luling Prefecture is in peace. What do you think, sir?"
Yang Hao was noncommittal, then turned to Fan Siqi and asked, "What do you think Mr. Fan has to say?"
This was probably the first time that Fan Siqi spoke in front of so many officials. After mumbling for a moment, Fang said with a red face: "Students think that barbarians are ignorant of education and are cruel by nature. But how can people from China imitate the barbarians and use violence to control them?"
It's violent. It's okay to raise troops to resist, but it's not possible to use such cruel methods.
Human beings are born with a heart of compassion, a heart of good and evil, a heart of respect, and a heart of right and wrong. However, some people have not been civilized for a long time, which has blinded their minds. We, the teachers of those who make kings, teachers of benevolence and righteousness, dampen their spirit and show it with
Then he taught them farming, taught them the royal way, took in orphans and widows, helped the poor, showed them kindness and justice, governed them with the royal way, and converted the barbarians. Over time, the diseases in the heart and heart turned into brothers. This is correct.
It is said that the benevolent are invincible, but it is a student’s foolish opinion. Do you think this is true?”
"Haha, it's just my humble opinion!" Yang Hao said without politeness, and Fan Siqi immediately turned red in the face.
Yang Hao's long-suppressed anger suddenly erupted, and he slapped the table and shouted: "What a scholar has to say! What a woman has to say! What a stupid opinion! The Hengshan Qiang people have the courage of the Qiang people and the wisdom of the Han people. They have lived among the vassals for a long time, and they have developed
He is a scoundrel and an incompetent person who has the ability to adapt to the wind, is arrogant and barbaric, and does not know the king's laws. The more you tolerate it, the more arrogant he becomes. If you follow your ideas to calm things down, it is like seeking the skin of a tiger. The Qiang people in Hengshan regard me as a reed.
Lingzhou is weak and can be bullied, so it will inevitably get worse and there will be no peace from now on."
Yang Hao's words were stern and he was reprimanding Fan Siqi, but Cheng Dexuan's ideas were even worse than Fan Siqi's. Yang Hao's reprimand to Fan Siqi was like slapping him in front of him several times, which made Cheng Dexuan's face turn red and he was very embarrassed.
"Retreat. I have made up my mind. All the officials have made preparations immediately according to my instructions. Without further delay, we will launch a counterattack early tomorrow morning and teach them a lesson they will never forget! Retreat!"
All the officials accepted the order and left one by one. Yang Hao said again: "Mu Tuan Lian, please stay." When there was no one in the hall, Yang Hao left his seat and stepped forward and called: "Father!"
Yang Hao stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Father, among the Hengshan Qiang people, the most powerful one is the Yeli clan. Although the Hengshan Qiang people do not belong to each other, the larger tribes must always communicate with each other. Please hurry up.
Send people quickly to contact Mr. Suka, and let the Yeli clan come forward to stabilize the big Qiang tribes in Hengshan to prevent them from getting involved."
Li Guangcen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hao'er, do you really want to fight?"
Yang Hao nodded solemnly and said: "Not only must we fight, we must fight to the point of death, so that we will be so majestic that after ten or eight years of beating them, they will still be frightened when they think of my Luling Prefecture's methods."
Li Guangcen said worriedly: "We, the Qiang people, have a custom that we must avenge ourselves until death..."
Yang Hao interrupted him and said: "Father, if I had grown up on the Xiazhou grassland, even though I was not a Qiang person, I would have followed the customs of the Qiang people. This is an instinct formed by what I have heard and seen since I was a child, and what I have learned through words and deeds. It is not all of them.
The Qiang people will adhere to this instinct. The Hengshan Qiang people have lived around the Hengshan Mountains for a long time, living together with the Uighurs, Tubos, and Han people. Some farmed, some hunted, and some were nomadic. The original customs and habits have been greatly changed. In addition, various
In order to win over them, the local forces have been treating them favorably and pampering them, which has made them develop a naughty and rogue character. Although they maintain their brave nature, at least this simple custom is far inferior to that of the Qiang people on the grassland. They are like this
People bully the good and fear the evil, bully the weak and fear the hard, and will not risk everything for an ancient custom.
Our foundation is in Luling Prefecture. If we want to stabilize the people of Luling, we must let these invading enemies know to be afraid. We definitely need favor, but not now. The two prefectures of Linfu have strong strength, so they use
Because of this kindness, these tribes knew that they could not get any favors from them, so they were willing to accept the appeasement.
What should we do to appease us? In this situation, once the matter is settled, they will despise us even more and intensify their bullying. If the matter is settled, what will the people of Luling Prefecture think? Those merchants cannot repay their hatred.
If safety is not guaranteed, who will come?
The only way is to teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are. The so-called kingly way must also be supplemented by domineering. Being blindly kingly is self-inflicted. We now control the Yeli clan.
If we use the Yeli clan to win over some big tribes, they will not form a joint force. What kind of trouble can the remaining small shrimps make? We have to show our power and make them hurt and scared. From now on, we will not
Dare to cause trouble under our noses! Only then can we give confidence to the people and businessmen of Luling Prefecture."
The tribes of the Qiang people often fight with each other. For example, the Qi clan of Dangxiang and the Tuoba clan of Xiazhou have been fighting and killing each other for many years. If they lose, they will surrender. There has never been a situation where they will avenge their enemies and fight to the death.
Situation? On the one hand, the Qiang people have a strong character, so there are many cases of revenge, so after people exaggerate it, everyone feels that they cannot have any grudge against them. On the other hand, it is also Yang Hao's revenge.
The method was too vicious, so Li Guangcen was worried that the desperate Hengshan Qiang people would make a desperate move. Now after listening to Yang Hao's analysis, Li Guangcen couldn't help but nod his head. He didn't expect that Yang Hao, who came here not long ago, knew so much about the local Qiang people.
Somewhat confident.
After seeing off Li Guangcen, Yang Hao returned to the lobby and sat down. There was silence in the hall. He sat alone under the picture of the blue sea and the red sun, frowning in thought. In fact, only part of what he thought of the situation of the local Qiang people was ordinary.
What can be understood is the knowledge from later generations. This knowledge is not necessarily the understanding of the Qiang people in this era and this region, but the understanding of other ethnic groups in similar situations.
Those experiences told him that there is a kind of person who looks fierce and is not dare to be messed with, called a scoundrel. He restrains himself with the way of a gentleman, and then goes to deal with these scoundrels, and all he gets is bloody lessons. Even if he
Being friendly with you for a while is just a false prosperity after you have paid a lot of price and made your own people suffer a lot of grievances. Whenever there is a chance, this kind of superficial glitz will be immediately torn to pieces by scoundrels, and half a penny will be lost.
not worth.
A great man once said: "We will never implement benevolent policies in response to the reactionary behaviors of the reactionaries and reactionary classes." Yang Hao agreed very much. You must first beat him up and scare him before he is willing to behave obediently.
Sit down and listen to your reasoning, otherwise you are simply seeking the skin of a tiger. Because this kind of despicable scoundrel is simply a white-eyed wolf who has not been raised well.
It seems that it is really impossible to build Luling Prefecture without a military force to rely on. The huge profits brought by business will objectively require matching political and military forces to protect itself.
The only thing he can rely on is the prefecture closest to him.
Thinking of this, Yang Hao sighed softly: "But after accepting Fuzhou's armor and weapons, and accepting the training of the Luling army by their officers, it is inevitable to bear the brand of Fuzhou on oneself.
.Originally, he was born under the sect of Cheng Shixiong in Guangyuan, so he was already on the alert from the officials. Now that he and the Fuzhou Zhe family are getting closer and closer, what will the Zhao official family think once they learn the news? There is also Cheng Dexuan by his side. These things
It is impossible to hide this from Kaifeng Mansion.
"Why don't we just stand with Origoshi and strive to become the fourth feudal clan in the northwest?"
Yang Hao shook his head. He did not believe that in front of the talented Zhao Kuangyin, a shrewd politician and military strategist who had been tempered for many years, he had the ability to reverse history and change the outcome of the northwest vassalization. Only one of the three northwest vassals succeeded.
It resisted the Song Dynasty's policy of reducing vassals and established its own country. From then on, it had a three-legged relationship with the Song Dynasty and the Khitan for two hundred years. It was the small land of Daxia and Luling Prefecture, which had neither strategic depth nor such a rich source of troops.
, financial resources, even if Wu Hou Zhuge Kongming and Tian Khan Li Shimin were airdropped here, wouldn't there be nothing left to do?
Yang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Throughout the ages, I am afraid that no one who has built a government or established a government office has been in such an embarrassing situation like me. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, it will scare away merchants from all over the place. I
The plan to revitalize the government through industry and commerce is no longer possible."
Yang Hao was getting a headache just thinking about it, when Yang Jincheng suddenly ran in very happily, panting and saying: "Master Futai, Master Futai, another caravan is coming, and...and there are more than twenty large cars.
Ah. Now we just stopped in front of Mr. Li Yuchang’s shop."
"What, have they entered the state safely? Hurry up, I will go see them in person." Yang Hao was overjoyed when he heard this. Now Luling Prefecture has become deserted due to the Hengshan Qiang rebellion, and all the merchants have been scared away.
Now. Now a big businessman with such strength has arrived. If he is allowed to go back and forth safely, it will be a living advertisement. This is much better than Lulingzhou himself beating the gong and shouting "the world is peaceful".
Yang Hao straightened his official clothes and hat, and was escorted out of the mansion by several government servants. When he got outside the mansion, he rode his horse to the west and galloped out of the Five Arrows Land. There was a row of cave dwellings leaning against the mountain wall. In front of the cave dwellings
There are more than 20 large mule carts parked. Many servants in green clothes and small hats are carrying things down from the carts. There is a big bed of golden nanmu, a toilet with lacquered gold patterns, desk stools, clothes hangers and towel racks.
On the Yanji screen, seven or eight beautiful little maids holding small handkerchiefs were chattering and directing: "Tap it lightly, point it high, point it high, be careful..."
Seeing this, Yang Hao asked in surprise: "Jincheng, are you not mistaken? This... person is really a big businessman? Why does it look like someone marrying a daughter from a wealthy family to me?"
