Chapter 1497 Dingtian Mountain
Han Ying was just regarded as the left general, and was in a good mood. He had already stood up and bowed and said, "Duke Chu, General Mo is willing to lead his troops into Tianshan Mountain. Give me a month. General Mo is bound to take down all the cities on Tianshan Road."
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate." As soon as Han Ying finished speaking, Huang Yutan shook his head and said.
Han Ying looked at Huang Yutan. He and Huang Yutan were guarding Hezhou together, both literary and military, and the relationship between them was very harmonious. At this time, Huang Yutan said this, Han Ying frowned and asked, "Mr. Huang, don't you believe that I can take down Tianshan?"
"That's not." Huang Yutan stood up with a smile and bowed to Chu Huan, "Duke Chu, before discussing the matter of Tianshan, the official wanted to ask, "I don't know how to deal with the Tianshan prisoners captured this time?"
Everyone then remembered that just outside the city, there were still 20,000 Tianshan prisoners who had not been dealt with. When the Xiguan Army came to Hezhou City from the horse farm, they drove all the more than 20,000 prisoners all the way. At this time, a piece of land was drawn in the north of the city and temporarily placed a large number of prisoners there.
"Not only those prisoners, but also the Tianshan people blocked halfway." Xu Shao suddenly said: "When we caught up on the halfway, the people fled in scattered and then gathered them to transport food, grass and equipment here. Although many people were defeated, there were still tens of thousands of people waiting outside the city. Chu Du, what should these people be dealt with?"
Chu Huan thought for a while before saying, "Those civilians are better off dealing with it. Give each of them a portion of food rations to support them back to their hometown. In addition, each of them is given a pound of salt, which is considered wages." After a pause, "How do you think about the 20,000 Tianshan Army? "
"Zhu Lingyue has no trace yet, I don't know if he has fled back to Tianshan." Han Ying said: "If these soldiers are sent back to their hometown, we will be worried that they will be thieves. Zhu Lingyue will gather them again for chaos... But if we ban them like this, it is not a solution. Not to mention that we have to mobilize some troops to take care of them, even if these 20,000 people eat, drink, defecate and scatter every day, that is also a big problem. We don't have much food and grass, so we still have to share some of them..."
Fat Liu said: "You can't let go, you can't keep, then... you can't kill these people, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Han coughed and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Chu Huan.
Huang Yutan suddenly laughed and said, "Duke Chu, how to deal with the 20,000 Tianshan Army is directly related to how to deal with the Tianshan problem in the next step. If you handle the 20,000 people well, the officials thought that the matter in Tianshan should be much easier to solve."
"What does Lord Huang mean?" Chu Huan stared at Huang Yutan.
Huang Yutan said seriously: "With the current military force in Chu, it is easy to take down the Tianshan Road by force, and it will not be too much trouble. But have you ever thought about who would be the ones who would resist the most if our troops entered Tianshan Mountains?"
Everyone looked at each other, but Xu Shao had already said: "It should be Zhu Lingyue's remnant party. They had a close relationship with Zhu Lingyue. They were afraid that Chu Du would not let them go and would fight to the death!"
"It's right." Huang Yutan smiled and said, "The soldiers entered Tianshan Mountains not in order to deal with the people there. Although some bandits in Tianshan Mountains took advantage of the chaos, the Northwest Army was enough to deal with those bandits. Our troops went there just to deal with Zhu Lingyue's remnants."
Everyone nodded.
"But if our troops really enter the Tianshan Mountains, the people in the Tianshan Mountains will feel a little disgusted." Huang Yutan said slowly: "If Tianshan wants to be stable, in the end, it means that people are at peace. When the troops go, the people's uneasiness will be counterproductive. The so-called army that defeats others without fighting. If our troops do not have to enter the Tianshan Mountains, but can restore the stability of the Tianshan Mountains, that is the best strategy."
Han Ying nodded and said, "Mr. Huang, what you said is true, but if the troops do not go, there are still more than a dozen cities in Tianshan. If those cities are still controlled by Zhu Lingyue's remnants, Tianshan will not be peaceful."
"So if we can calm down the hearts of Tianshan officials, things will be much easier." Huang Yutan said seriously: "Stranquil Tianshan is nothing more than to calm the hearts of the three great people, the hearts of officials and gentry, the hearts of Tianshan soldiers and horses, and the most important thing is the hearts of the people in Tianshan. As long as you can formulate a proper strategy, the subordinates think that it is not difficult to stabilize Tianshan without fighting."
Seeing that Huang Yutan was quite confident, Chu Huan said happily: "If you really don't have to solve this problem by bleeding, then that is of course the best strategy. Lord Huang, what good strategy do you have?"
"Duke Chu, why are the officials and gentry in Tianshan uneasy? After all, it is not because of Zhu Lingyue." Huang Yutan said: "Most of the officials in the prefectures and counties in Tianshan are officials promoted by Zhu Lingyue. Now that Zhu Lingyue is defeated, it is hard to find traces. The officials in Tianshan are naturally frightened. Zhu Lingyue sent troops to Xiguan and fought with Chu Zhu. Everyone would feel that Chu and Zhu Lingyue were incompatible. In this case, Tianshan officials would of course worry that Chu Huan would settle the accounts after the autumn, but let them go. With such thoughts, of course they would not surrender and resist even if they fought to the death."
"That's exactly that." Chu Huan nodded.
Huang Yutan thought for a while before saying, "So the officials thought that if the Chu governor gave an order to tell the officials of Tianshan that they were all just coerced by Zhu Lingyue and had no major mistakes. As long as they reform, the Chu governor would not punish them, and their lives and property would be guaranteed. In this way, the officials thought that they would definitely not fight to the death."
Xu Shao frowned and said, "Mr. Huang, although this is a strategy, it can also resolve their resistance, but they are Zhu Lingyue's followers. If they let it go and let them continue to hold official positions, they are afraid that there will be endless troubles. Once there is a chance, those people will be in trouble."
"The concerns of Xu Tongzheng make sense, of course," Huang Yutan said: "In fact, there is no need to worry about this. First, calm down and ensure their lives. They can eliminate their fighting spirit. When Tianshan stabilizes, the officials think that officials can be assessed. Just like what Gongsun Chu, the governor of Yuezhou, did to assess the management under their jurisdiction. Those who are capable can continue to remain in office, otherwise they will be dismissed and promoted separately. That is not a bad idea. Although Zhu Lingyue is a nepotist, as far as I know, there are many capable officials among the officials of Tianshan. If all the prefectures and counties in Tianshan are removed at this time, hundreds of positions will be vacant. We cannot fill all these vacant vacancies in a short period of time. In this way, the political affairs of the entire Tianshan Mountain will be paralyzed and the consequences will be even more serious."
Pei Ji nodded and said, "Mr. Huang is right. Chu is a man of old and successful plan. If the officials were really promoted by Zhu Lingyue, they would be dismissed and deposed, and the consequences would be even more serious. If only the evildoers were eliminated and other people would be spared, it would not only make the officials in Tianshan feel at ease, but also make the government affairs of Tianshan still operate. In this way, Chu is magnanimous, and many people will be grateful, which may not be a bad thing. When Tianshan is completely stable, officials will be assessed and good will be preserved and bad will be removed. No one can say anything."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Mr. Huang is indeed smart and tricky. So, do what you said, and this governor can give orders to convey to Tianshan." He asked again, "How can the Tianshan soldiers and the people of Tianshan respond?"
"Duke Chu, Xiaguan said just now that the 20,000 Tianshan soldiers outside the city handled it well, just waiting for the major affairs of Tianshan to be solved." Huang Yutan said: "As far as Xiaguan knows, the more than 20,000 soldiers outside the city, except for a very small number, are mostly recruits recruited by Zhu Lingyue in recent years. Many of them were even forced to join the army. A few years ago, they were just ordinary people, and many people did not like to go into battle. Chu may order that if these prisoners are willing to return to their hometown to farm, they can be removed from their military status and let them return to their hometown to farm. If there are still people who are willing to stay, they will be screened and evaluated. Those who are qualified to stay can continue to join the army, otherwise they will still have to return to their hometown to farm... At this time, Chu's order of equal fields will be used in great use...!"
"Jotian Ling?"
"That's right." Huang Yutan said solemnly: "Looking at the ancient times and the present, the people in the world regard land as life. This can be seen from the reform of equal land carried out in Xiguan. If the equal land order is continued to be promoted to Tianshan, the officials thought that they would inevitably be supported by the people of Tianshan, and they would be 20,000 soldiers outside the city. I believe that after knowing this, most people would be willing to return to their hometowns to cultivate the fields. Xiguan implemented the equal land order and carried out renting and tyrannical regulation. Moreover, within three years, the people only need to pay 30% of the taxes. These policies can also be implemented in Tianshan, and they will definitely be unsuccessful."
When everyone heard this, they nodded slightly.
Qi Hong was always with Chu Huan, and naturally had a more thorough understanding of the specific content of the Juntian Order. At this time, he couldn't help asking: "Master Huang, Juntian Order is certainly a good strategy for benefiting the people, but Xiguan implemented the Juntian Order, which was due to the environment...!" He looked at Chu Huan and said: "Director Chu also said that the most fundamental point of Xiguan can successfully implement the Juntian Order is that Xiguan once had a lot of barren fields. These barren fields were huge. After the land was opened, there would be enough land resources. Tianshan was afraid that it would not be as good as Xiguan. To implement the Juntian Order, there would be a lot of fields in Tianshan? "
Huang Yutan smiled and said, "You are very good at asking, but this is actually the most critical point for the implementation of the Tianshan Equal Land Order. The implementation of the Tianshan Equal Land Order requires manpower and land. In terms of manpower, there is naturally no shortage of Tianshan Equal Land Order. In fact, to be honest, there is a way to solve the problem of the Tianshan Equal Land Order."
"Oh?" Chu Huan said with great interest: "Mr. Huang, where does the land that implements the equalization of the field order in Tianshan come from?"
