The 234th chapter 200,000 army pressure

Li Shimin discussed with the ministers but failed. He did not dare to suppress Li Chengqian's enthusiasm for governing the country for the time being. He could only let Li Chengqian do what he did in the north.

But despite this, Li Chengqian also encountered a big problem, that is, the entire northern region lacked talents who were interested in the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how you plan this banished state in the future, Li Chengqian or Li Shimin can only send hundreds of scholars here to become officials.

However, the people here are completely different from those in the mainland. During the Tang Dynasty, whether in Guanzhong or Henan Road, a county with good weather or not, the people who are officials lived peacefully and steadily. Although there are many barbarians in the southern mountainous areas, the local natural resources are abundant and limited by transportation. There are basically no people living in a village or tribe in a mountain nest, so it is very easy to manage.

But the northern part is different. Now this is a grassland. Most of the most peaceful Qiang people make a living by grazing. The people are tough and not subject to ethics. It is probably a delusion to use a few scholars to manage these people.

This is also the fundamental reason why many courts do not advocate the implementation of the county system here.

So what Li Chengqian has to do now is to cultivate a group of talents suitable for governing the Qiang people for the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Even if the court sends county magistrates and county magistrates, there must be some yamen runners and other people!

However, this matter is really not difficult for Li Chengqian. After all, he knew some methods of class analysis in his previous life, and Li Chengqian decided to do a good job in dealing with Mi Qin's articles to win the hearts of the people.

In the back room where Li Chengqian, who temporarily lived in Dejing County, Li Chengqian and Xu Jingzong Wang Qun discussed the plan for the Mi Qin family, sighed: "This should be done by Li Yifu, and he should be more comfortable to do it."

Xu Jingzong nodded subconsciously when he heard this, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really knows people and responsibilities, but unfortunately, Li Yi’s mansion is not here, so he can only fall on his own.

The two walked out of Li Chengqian's residence. According to Li Chengqian's arrangement, they each brought several civil servants and ordered a clean place to set up a table not far from Dejing County Government. Then they sent people to the street to beat drums and drums and let someone come to complain.

In ancient China, local officials wanted to gain reputation quickly, the best way was not to build infrastructure: building bridges, paving roads, digging canals, etc., nor to engage in economic construction: persuading agriculture and mulberry trees, or even to build education and schools to reward scholars who are good at learning...

Instead, it is to quell the wrongs and punish the prison. If a local official can deal with the local bully as soon as he arrives, his reputation will be spread thousands of miles away, and may even be praised by local people for generations, and later compiled into novels and operas.

The most vivid example in this regard is Bao Gong.

Li Chengqian brought a large army to Dejing County and directly eliminated the two largest tyrants here. This is of course a great favor for the local people. It should have won the hearts of the local people.

However, because of the war between the two sides, some people who did not know the truth were also involved. In addition, the ethnic customs were different. Although Li Chengqian did not violate the Qiang people here after entering the city, the Qiang people still remained vigilant and distanced against the Tang army.

Therefore, Li Chengqian decided to use his trump card to avenge the people again to speed up the people's recognition of the Tang Dynasty.

Because Li Chengqian's purpose this time was to remove all the Qiang tyrants in the northern region, the order he gave to Xu Jingzong and others was to deal with all the complaints he received as long as the complaints were sued by the tyrants.

Moreover, after the powerful were dealt with, only a small part of their property, the Tang army left behind, and most of them were distributed to the local people equally, and the people who complained should be given more.

This should mobilize the enthusiasm of the Qiang people to file lawsuits.

On the first day, the people received in Dejing County were all sued by the Mi Qin and Pochao clans. Because the main characters of the Mi Qin and Pochao clans had been arrested by the Tang army, Xu Jingzong immediately promised that in addition to killing them, the people who came to sue the Mi Qin family would also give them more property in a few days.

Although the people who complained were half-believing and half-doubted about this, they were very happy to get a kindly comfort from a high-ranking official like Xu Jingzong's impression of the Tang Dynasty and went home happily.

The next day when Xue Rengui, who went to attack the Mi Qin family and Pochao village, came back. Li Chengqian ordered Xu Jing to proceed to arrange for the cleaning of their property and then distribute it to the people inside and outside Dejing County.

As these news continued to spread, some people from Dejing County came to complain in the following days. Some of these people complained to the Mi Qin clan and Pochao clan, and some of them reported to other small tribes within the county.

The Qiang tribes were not subordinate to each other, which brought great convenience to Li Chengqian doing this.

Once Xu Jingzong, who sued those small tribes, immediately sent troops to confiscate the house and arrested the tribe leader and main culprit. Except for compensation for part of the tribe's property, the rest were distributed equally to those in the tribe.

In this way, we can get the family and get the family apart.

After Xu Jingzong cleared the property of Mi Qin and Pochao, Li Chengqian ordered Cheng Wuting to take all the parts to the Qiang people one night in advance outside Dejing County.

Early the next morning, a coloring shed was set up on the site that was cleared a few days in advance in front of the county government office and a throne was set up. Qiang people from all over Dejing County came here, standing in front of the shed according to their residence, waiting for Li Chengqian's arrival.

The sun slowly rose, and a group of soldiers tied up Mi Qindoga and Po Chaoyue and his family members to the bells to kneel down to the everyone.

The front of the coloring shed are the enemies of these people. They used to be bullied by men and women and robbed cattle and sheep. If they wanted to reason, they would whip dozens of whips lightly, severely, broken arms and legs, and even lose their lives.

Now these people and their homes are standing opposite Mi Qindoge.

When these people saw Mi Qindoga and the others were naturally so angry that their teeth were itchy. At this time, they saw them kneeling in front of them, lowering their heads and not daring to look at them. Some women began to curse in a low voice, and the younger ones also had the courage to spit on them.

Then someone heard the sound of cattle, sheep and horses coming from far and near, and they couldn't help but look back. They saw a group of Tang troops with bright armor behind them rushed to the south gate, and horses were pulling carts behind the cattle, sheep and came to the city.

Although I don’t know what was installed on the car, I have heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has a kind heart. Seeing that they are pitiful, they want to give them what Mi Qin and Pochao have snatched them.

The Qiang people standing in front of the colorful shed looked at these things and their eyes were radiating in excitement. They kept saying good things about Li Chengqian and cursing the Mi Qindoge family.

After a while, only the sound of drums and music was heard, and a pair of eunuchs walked out of the county government to hold on to the incense burner.

The Qiang people in front of the colorful shed had never seen anything as gorgeous and exquisite. When they saw cigarettes swaying in front of them, they were dancing in various colorful satin. A young man wearing a golden crown, a jade robe and a long jade robe walked slowly under the cover of a feather fan and umbrella. He thought that it was a god who had descended to earth and immortals. Everyone standing in the front row was so panicked that they hurriedly lay on the ground and bowed.

Li Chengqian walked up to the people and said to everyone with a gentle voice: "Everyone should be calm, don't keep your body cold on the ground."

Everyone who was kneeling saw Li Chengqian smiling like a flower was so excited that he kowtowed a few more times. Where could he hear what he said?

Li Chengqian winked at the eunuch beside him. Several young eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward and helped up the old men kneeling in front, and loudly repeated what Li Chengqian had just said.

When several old men heard that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty cared about them so much, they were excited and kowtowed again on the ground.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to go to the throne first and sat down and ordered Liu Kui to deal with it. Liu Kui and a group of eunuchs comforted the Qiang people with great excitement.

Li Chengqian ordered Xu Jingzong to read out the crimes of Mi Qin and Pochao that he wrote himself.

Recently, Xu Jingzong tried an unjust case to seek justice for the people, and was loved by the local Qiang people. In order to become famous in history, he specially wore a clean official uniform and solemnly picked up the crown prince's order. Before reading it, he looked at the crowd, which made the people standing in front of the bell shed to hold back their praise.

"The Miqin clan relies on their large numbers of people and bullies countless people, killing people, stealing, stealing, and taking them, and daring to do anything bad.

1. Forced robbery of the Zhe family's eldest daughter..."

Xu Jingzong opened his eyes wide after reading a few words, looking at the plain language written in elegant thin gold style in disbelief.

Xu Jingzong thought he had taken the wrong thing and looked at Li Chengqian, but saw Li Chengqian expressionlessly and said, "Stop reading."

Xu Jingzong could not only blush and read this vernacular high. As soon as he finished reciting, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his cheeks turned red and he turned back to the colorful shed, as if he had read such a vulgar article and had no face to see anyone again.

But the Qiang people in front of the colored shed understood his plain words, and saw that many of the crimes of Mi Qin were listed in it and gritted their teeth.

Seeing that the people's emotions were almost filled, Li Chengqian shook his eyes at Wang Qun. Wang Qun knew how to set up a colorful sanctuary to bring a few of the most wronged people into the colorful sanctuary.

As soon as several people came in, they saw Li Chengqian who was close to him and hurriedly lay on the ground to thank Li Chengqian for seeking justice for them. Li Chengqian came forward and helped the few people up one by one, and asked someone to bring them to Jindun to sit down.

Several people dared not disobey Li Chengqian and put their butts slightly next to Jindun. Seeing Li Chengqian nervously.

Li Chengqian looked at them and smiled slightly, "I have caused you to be wronged. This is the Lone King's I am not!"

"I dare not, I dare not..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince personally seeks grievances for us, and it is already a great blessing..."

...

...

These people are originally selected by Wang Qun as eloquent.

Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal them to stop, and said with a smile: "Although you don't blame the Lone King, the county magistrate who captured Doge was conferred by the imperial court."

Li Chengqian paused and continued: "The Gu Wang knows that there are still many small Qiang tribes in the north now being bullied by large tribes, and the Turks also bullied you. As long as the Gu Wang knows these things, you will be punished by them."

"We will never forget the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince." An old man said excitedly again.

Li Chengqian nodded and continued, "Lord King, how much I hope that more people who have been wronged will know that the Order King is willing to make a comeback for them!"

"The grass-roots are willing to spread the painstaking efforts of His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Okay! It's rare that you are sincere, the Lone King is accurate.

Michidog and others have bullied you. Are you willing to speak out your grievances in public, then scold them a few times, and vent their anger?"

"Will!" Several people's eyes turned red. Mi Qindoge destroyed their family and killed them. They were willing to deal with it.

Next, Wang Qun invited them out and stood beside Mi Qindoge and told them one by one about the suffering they had suffered.

The people mentioned earlier were crying, and the people who were listening to the lectures were all red, looking at Mi Qindoge's family, hoping to eat them raw.

So later, as soon as several people started to fight, the people below came up, some people who had been bullied by Mi Qindoga, and some people who were full of righteous indignation punched and kicked more than 100 people kneeling on the top.

When they were tired of fighting, when Xu Jingzong came forward to dissuade him, there were only a few more than a hundred people breathing.

Li Chengqian did not blame them, and directly ordered the alive to kill him with one knife, and then began to distribute cattle and sheep property.

On the second day, Xu Jingzong recruited Qiang people and began to allocate land and pastures to them. As soon as they got the pasture, the people of the pastures were eager to take the cattle and sheep they had distributed yesterday to their own pastures for grazing, while cutting some hay to go back to keep warm.

When Li Chengqian came, he saw that there was no one outside the city, but the people in the city did not have the firewood to keep warm. He thought it was the custom of the Qiang people. Later, he realized that it was Mi Qindoge who did not allow the people to cut grass and wood.

This operation made the Qiang people convinced Li Chengqian and the Tang Dynasty, and they only regretted that they had not been directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty earlier.

In the following days, what happened in Dejing County spread hundreds of miles below Li Chengqian's fuel. Many people walked one or two hundred miles to Qian Dejing County to find the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty to avenge them.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian took the initiative to release all the civil servants transferred from Chang'an.

When these civil servants went out, Li Chengqian sent some necessary troops to protect them, but also sent some Qiang people recruited in Dejing County who had already received property to help them.

Of course, on the one hand, Li Chengqian strengthened the influence of the Tang Dynasty among the Qiang people, and on the other hand, because the leaders were all dealt with, the serf rules of some Qiang people (or Qiang culture) naturally collapsed.

----------------------

Although there was a few periods of warming up after the first snow, the overall weather trend was getting colder and colder every day, and the north wind whimpered every day.

But Li Chengqian was about to set off north again in front of the north wind at this time and headed north to Lingzhou.

Along the way, Li Chengqian received a lot of letters from Chang'an, the most important of which was from the Crown Princess Su.

It turned out that Su had given birth to a son for him in early November. It was said that Li Shimin was very happy and arranged a banquet for his grandson in the East Palace and personally named him Li Bai.

Li Chengqian sat in the carriage and was very happy to see the news. At night, he set up a camp to pick up a brush and wrote a reply to the princess word by word.

As soon as Li Chengqian wrote a letter to the Crown Princess, he saw Wang Qun walking in with a serious look on his face.

Li Chengqian put down his letter and asked, "But there is news in the north?"

Wang Qun nodded and said, "Go back to the Prince, according to the spy in front, I reported that Xue Yantuo Yinan and his son Bazhuo had separated after they crossed the Yellow River?"

“Split up?

Do you know how many people Bazhuo brought to go where again?”

"Bazhuo and the Uighur tribes had 200,000 infantry and cavalry, heading towards Xiazhou."

Li Chengqian knew that he was in big trouble now, so he hurriedly said, "You go and check where Li Simo's troops are now. If you find out, come and report it to me."

When Wang Qun heard this, he hurriedly bowed out, while Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui: "Go and summon the generals into the tent."
