Chapter 83 His Majesty the Great Emperor!

The Liao army stationed in the Great Wall was surrounded, and not many people wanted to resist and wait for rescue. After all, there were still many smart people.

News from the front line had long been heard, and the 300,000 troops were wiped out in Xia territory. As long as you have a slightly smart head, you can know how powerful the Xia army is.

Now the Xia army's magical weapons appear behind the sky. Although no one knows how the Xia army did it, it is certain that if they want to survive, put down their weapons and surrender is the best way. So the Liao army put down their weapons and walked out of the fortress to surrender to the Xia army.

There are not many psychological barriers to surrendering to the Xia army. Although many of the officers in the Great Wall are Khitans, there are quite a few Han people in the army. The Han people surrender to the Han people, such a thing does not violate their hearts.

Wang Shao struck while the iron was hot and took the entire Great Wall, including the Gansu Military Office-Xiliang Prefecture-Xiping Prefecture-Xiazhou-Datong Prefecture-Fengsheng Prefecture-Laizhou, in the hands of Daxia!

After receiving the report that the last pass of Laizhou Great Wall had been taken back, Wang Shao couldn't help but burst into tears.

——The lifeline of the Chinese nation has finally returned to the hands of the Han people!

After losing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for more than a hundred years, they returned to the hands of the Han people again.

The importance of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun cannot be overemphasized.

The Yanyun area is a must-fight for military strategists throughout the ages, and it is also a natural barrier for the Central Plains dynasty to protect agricultural areas and resist the invasion of nomadic peoples.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were also the base for the Central Plains dynasty to prevail in the Northeast during its prosperous era.

For the Central Plains dynasty, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were its gateway to the north.

On the one hand, during the period of prosperity of national strength, it was a stronghold and bridgehead for the Central Plains dynasty to control the northern nomadic peoples. Emperor Yang of Sui used troops to Goguryeo three times, using Zhuo County as a base to gather troops, military weapons, and grain storage.

On the other hand, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were also the barrier and frontier for the Central Plains dynasty to resist the invasion of the northern nomadic peoples, and were the "strategic buffer zone" of military struggle.

The Great Wall and the Five Passes in the northern part of the Yanyun area form a strong and unscrupulous artificial line of defense.

In ancient wars, cavalry undoubtedly had absolute advantages over the Central Plains army with infantry as the main force, while in military geography, the Great Wall could play a defensive role in the southward transition of the northern nomadic cavalry.

Next to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun on the south side of the Great Wall, with its solid city, towering and steep mountains and crisscrossing rivers, it forms another strategic line of defense.

It is a powerful support for the Great Wall's defense line and forms a relationship with the Great Wall that supports each other.

For the northern nomadic peoples, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are also strategically significant.

After occupying the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they completely changed their passive situation in the military struggle with the Central Plains dynasty.

Although the northern nomadic regimes have strong military power, they do not have advanced cultural systems and do not have fixed financial income.

Due to the limitations of its own regime system, in the process of fighting against the powerful Central Plains dynasty, they either achieved temporary military victory or were completely defeated by the powerful Central Plains dynasty.

But after occupying the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, this situation completely changed.

Through the window of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they began to understand the Central Plains, gradually came into contact with the Central Plains civilization, and learned the advanced production methods of the Central Plains.

In other words, whether it is the Han or nomadic peoples, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are of extraordinary significance. Whoever controls the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will control the strategic advantages!

The news quickly spread back to Bianjing, and the entire Bianjing city became booming.

The problem that the Song Dynasty, which had not been solved for a century, was accomplished by the Emperor Ouyang Bian of the Great Xia Dynasty!

At this moment, Ouyang Bian completely became His Majesty the great emperor of the people of Daxia.

The so-called Daxia people not only include the people who sincerely think they are the people of the Daxia people, but also the Song people who had to stay in Daxia. Although they gained benefits from the reform of Daxia, they still miss the goodness of the Song Dynasty. But at this moment, they cheered and cheered. Like most Daxia people, they laughed happily and couldn't help but burst into tears. Whether they considered themselves Song or Xia people, they were all Han people in the end.

Especially the Song Dynasty officials who had no time to retreat in the Song Dynasty, although they were persuaded to surrender, they did not have the idea of ​​being a Song official in their hearts. Only then did they recognize the Daxia Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Although these officials are very respectful to Ouyang Bian on the surface, they also criticize Ouyang Bian as a traitor when drinking in private.

But at this moment, they were finally convinced.

This kind of convincing comes not only from the return of Yanyun area, but also from the accumulation of many events.

Since Daxia entered the sixth route of Shaanxi and the area north of the Huai River, the Daxia court began to carry out reforms, which included places that caused losses to the civil servant group, such as land reform, but at least they made progress in the officialdom. The vacancies of officials in Daxia were from top to bottom, and most capable officials were promoted, which also comforted their emotions.

The key is that the huge role played by a series of changes is obvious to these original Song Dynasty officials.

Land reform allows farmers to have land that can be cultivated. Farmers can choose to farm by themselves or choose to use land as capital to join the company for cooperative production and hold shares in it. Farmers can work in the company to earn wages, and dividends can be distributed at the end of the year, basically achieving a guaranteed income from drought and flood.

Farmers gained profits, making the consumer market prosperous. Daxia encouraged the development of industry and commerce, and extremely low commercial tax allowed commerce to flourish, which was much more prosperous than during the Song Dynasty.

Under Ouyang Bian's leadership, the Daxia court truly achieved light taxes and levies, abolished all harsh taxes, greatly liberated the burden on the people, and formed a positive development force for the entire society.

This change is very obvious. These original parents were standing on a high ground and looking down at them. Of course, they understood these truths. Although they were dissatisfied with Ouyang Bian's transformation from an official of the Song Dynasty to a monarch, they agreed with Ouyang Bian's rule from the bottom of their hearts.

These accumulated, combined with the combustion aids that wiped out 300,000 Liao troops, and the real major incident of taking back the Yanyun land this time, they have completely convinced Ouyang Bian.

After all, the affairs between Ouyang Bian and the Zhao family are internal conflicts, but regaining the land of Yanyun is a real national hero!

The Zhao family has been working for more than a hundred years, but this matter is still not good, and it is even a long time ago. However, Ouyang Bian did this matter. Compared with this matter, Ouyang Bian's mistake is actually forgiven.
