Chapter 128 126. In charge of the government
Chapter 128 126. In charge of the government
Li Yongxuan just wanted to raise a sum of money in Lin'an to maintain the huge expenses. By the way, he warned Emperor Song not to be too arrogant. If he is pushed, something big will happen.
Who would have thought that someone in Lin'an City would open the city gate and warmly welcome Li Yongxuan to lead his troops into the city.
In any case, this is the voice of the soldiers and the common people, Li Yongxuan has no way to sit idly by and turn a blind eye to it.
Anyway, he doesn't care about his reputation, if he can save tens of millions of people, let the rebellious officials and thieves rebel!
Li Yongxuan first asked Emperor Song to wake up from the fright, and then made three demands to him.
Finally, Emperor Song recovered from his shock.
After listening to the three requests made by Li Yongxuan, he agreed without even thinking about it.
Li Yongxuan, Meng Gong, Fan Yongji, Liu Zheng, Li Tingzhi, Wang Jian, Guo Jing, Yeluqi, etc. were the first to be promoted to ranks. Among them, Li Yongxuan was the Minister of the Ministry of War and was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. The army recovered the state capitals in eastern Shandong, and the others also had their own towns...
The second one implements donations and subsidy. Emperor Song took the lead and donated [-]% of all the wealth in the inner treasury, and greatly reduced the palace expenses, and let most of the maids and guards leave the palace...
The third is to implement the public land system, which uniformly stipulates that the land will be taken back, distributed according to the population, and rent and tax paid...
Although Emperor Song was very unwilling to be coerced by others, he had to bow his head under the eaves.
At the beginning, he had prepared for the worst.
Never thought that Li Yongxuan did not kill the king to seize the throne, but just wanted to monopolize power.
What else could Emperor Song expect, no matter what, his life was saved and the throne was still there.
If he resolutely refuses to cooperate, he may not even have a chance to survive.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Yongxuan to lead his army to directly attack Lin'an Mansion.
Thinking of this, Emperor Song had to bow his head to reality.
Following the Song Emperor promulgating the three decrees in the court hall, Lin'an City temporarily became calm.
The two decrees promulgated earlier have little to do with the ministers of the court, nor have much to do with the soldiers and the common people.
Only this third will is of great importance, and it is related to almost everyone.
In fact, Li Yongxuan led his army into Lin'an City, which once caused panic among the landlord class, bureaucrats, and wealthy households in the Song Dynasty.
They are worried that Li Yongxuan is in power, and they are also doing a lot of land sharing in the south, and the method of tax exemption for the first three years.
These people control most of the fields in the south. If the fields are divided, wouldn't it be equivalent to confiscating their homes?
That is to say, Li Yongxuan's troops were too brave, otherwise there would have been riots in Lin'an City.
On the contrary, those who have little or no land especially hope that Li Yongxuan will distribute the land equally to everyone.
Unexpectedly, Li Yongxuan didn't do that, but proposed to take back the excess land, redistribute it, and pay rent and tax.
The landlord class, corrupt bureaucrats, and wealthy households all breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer have to worry about being ransacked.
They didn't dare to be happy too early, they were worried that Li Yongxuan's purchase price of the field would be discounted too much.
Those who have little or no land, although disappointed, are also full of expectations.
In any case, Li Yongxuan bought the excess land and distributed it to everyone, and the rent and tax he paid must be much lower than usual.
Li Yongxuan did not directly confiscate the land of the vast landlord class, corrupt bureaucrats, and wealthy households, but he was worried that it would cause civil strife and waste his strength.
He engaged in the equalization of fields in the north, mainly to buy people's hearts and resume production under the rule of the Mongols.
In addition, in those places, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the population has migrated to the south in order to attract the return of the population.
At the same time, Li Yongxuan reorganized the Imperial City Division, renamed it Jinyiwei, and set up another Supervision Bureau to supervise officials from all over the country.
This time he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was promoted several levels in a row, and obtained the skill of [Shipbuilding], as well as an enhanced skill.
Li Yongxuan immediately strengthened his super perception and forging skills, making his perception ability stronger and his forging technology more advanced.
He banned all the factories that produced all kinds of luxury goods for the royal family, and turned to the production of artillery, muskets and warships.
In order to alleviate the severe financial crisis in the Song Dynasty, Li Yongxuan used his super perception to find several mineral deposits with rich resources.
Ask people to develop a large number of gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, and coal mines, which not only allow the public land law to be implemented smoothly, but also quickly fill the national treasury.
Concubine Yan Gui received a secret letter from Mongolia, asking her to try her best to find an opportunity to get close to Li Yongxuan, to gain his trust, and to secretly destroy the relationship between the monarch and his ministers in the Song Dynasty.
After much deliberation, Concubine Yan decided to be honest with each other.
She admired Li Yongxuan's ability and personality very much. Not only was he capable, but he was also courageous.
It just so happened that the Mongols wanted Concubine Yan Gui to get close to Li Yongxuan, so she desperately wanted to try to see if the charm of Su Nvgong really didn't work.
Facing the temptation of Yan Guifei, Li Yongxuan fell into it like a cadre who could not stand the test.
Concubine Yan's martial arts is not high, similar to that of Huang Rong and Li Mochou, but she is best at performing charms, which can make men fascinated.
But against Li Yongxuan, who is far stronger than her in martial arts and has also learned the method of moving souls from the Nine Yin Manual, it has no effect at all.
Sure enough, Concubine Yan Gui was from Su Nu Palace and was still a virgin.
Although she is very favored by Emperor Song, in order to preserve her own strength, she always uses coquettish techniques to let the maids cope with Emperor Song's favor.
After competing with Li Yongxuan, Yan Guifei realized that her strength was really far behind.
Li Yongxuan liked the alluring and unusually beautiful Concubine Yan Gui very much, and communicated with her from time to time to learn martial arts.
Concubine Yan and Xiaolongnv are completely two extremes, one is like frost, the other is like heat, Li Yongxuan can occasionally experience the feeling of ice and fire.
After Li Yongxuan took control of the political power of the Song Dynasty, he was free instead, and he could leave everything to his subordinates to do. As long as he grasped the overall direction, there would be no problem.
Perhaps because of the bloody killings seen outside, Xiaolongnv prefers to live in the deserted and quiet ancient tomb.
In the past few years, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were the women who helped Li Yongxuan the most. They helped take care of Jincheng, so that Li Yongxuan would not have to worry about the future, so his power would develop so smoothly.
There are also Wan Yanping and Yeluyan, they also helped Li Yongxuan a lot.
Wan Yanping's father's relatives and old ministry helped win many Jin people to surrender to Li Yongxuan, as did Yeluyan and her elder brother Yeluqi, who also helped defend the city.
In addition, Gongsun Lue from Unfeeling Valley is also good to Li Yongxuan, helping to stock up a lot of artillery, muskets, and food.
Finally, there is Concubine Yan Gui who often secretly helps Li Yongxuan pass on news.
If she hadn't passed on the information, Li Yongxuan would have been in a lot of trouble, at least it wouldn't have developed so smoothly.
After Li Yongxuan took control of the government, Wan Yanping and Yeluyan followed him to Lin'an Mansion and settled in a new home by the West Lake.
Wan Yanping and Yeluyan have known each other for so many years, and they both know the relationship between each other and Li Yongxuan.
In the past two years, they were still a bit uncomfortable.
Over time, it gradually became a habit.
Li Yongxuan was afraid of a fire in the backyard, and tried not to let them meet together, but sometimes, he had no choice but to try to maintain a balance.
He really wanted to be slept with, but the problem was that Xiao Longnu and the others would definitely not be happy.
In this way, Li Yongxuan will only be exposed to rain and dew, and no one will be left out.
Fortunately, he has the ability to teleport at any time, and he can teleport everywhere.
Li Yongxuan thought that Xiaolongnu would be bored alone in the ancient tomb, so he doubled the seeds.
At last Huang Tian paid off, three months ago, Xiao Longnv finally had Li Yongxuan's flesh and blood in her stomach.
Two months later, Li Yongxuan asked people to build the first warship, and installed artillery on the warship, and equipped the crew with a large number of firearms.
Not long after, Li Yongxuan and Meng Gong led the army to recover the entire eastern Shandong. Yu Jie, Li Tingzhi, and Liu Zheng took full advantage of the firepower of artillery and muskets to recover the state capitals of Daming, Hedong, and Hebei.
Most of these places are mountainous, which is not conducive to the combat of Mongolian cavalry, but more conducive to artillery and muskets.
Kublai Khan, Wu Liang Hetai, Chahan and Zhang Rou finally couldn't resist the enemy and led their troops out of the Central Plains in desperation.
A few months later, Li Yongxuan led his army to regain the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, forming a confrontation with the Mongolian army.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to August 26, [-].
Queen Naimazhen of Mongolia had everything ready, so she sent envoys to summon the kings and nobles to the capital and forests to attend a meeting and elect the Great Khan!
Among the kings, the eldest son Batu, commander of the Western Expedition, had the highest prestige. He heard that Guiyou was going to be elected as Khan, but he was dissatisfied with his disagreement and refused to attend the meeting under the pretext of being ill. Brother represented himself at the Kuriltai Conference.
The kings of East and West, as well as ministers and generals from all over the country, had arrived in Helin, so Empress Naimazhen held a khan election meeting in Dalandapa, a summer camp near Helin.
Since all the kings and officials at the meeting had already been won over by the queen, the meeting unanimously elected Guiyou as the Great Khan.
Even after Guiyou came to the throne as Khan, Empress Naimazhen still interfered in political affairs, and Empress Naimazhen died a few months later, and Guiyou was in charge of the government.
At this time, it has been nearly five years since the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Wo Kuotai, passed away.
Prior to this, Empress Naimazhen controlled the government for a long time, abused rewards, and abolished the legal system, resulting in a situation of inconsistent government orders and many contradictions, and politics has become increasingly corrupt.
After Guiyou continued to be the Khan, instead of proceeding from reality, he was diligent in government affairs and rectified the palace ban. Generosity and gratitude.
What's even more outrageous is that he himself was not physically strong, and his hands and feet were suffering from spasms. However, after he came to power, he was addicted to drinking and sex day and night like his father in his later years. , is getting worse.
Guiyou was very afraid of the artillery and muskets of the Song people, did not dare to invade the south, and held a grudge against Batu who was at odds with him and opposed his succession, so he decided to attack Batu in the west.
In his view, the roots of the Mongols are in the grasslands, and the Song people who lack cavalry will not pose any threat to them. His biggest threat is Batu.
On the contrary, under Li Yongxuan's iron-fisted rule, the Song Dynasty was thriving day by day, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, and its strength became stronger and stronger.
The entire Song Dynasty was like a war machine, running rapidly.
In less than a year, [-] cannons, [-] guns, and [-] giant warships were produced.
While accumulating national power, Li Yongxuan expanded southward, ready to fight the battle of the century with the Mongol Empire at any time.
He sent envoys to Dali and Annan countries, asking them to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty.
A few years ago, seeing that the Song army's defense line in eastern Sichuan and Chongqing could not be broken, Wo Kuotai ordered the Mongolian army to mobilize elite soldiers to attack Dali, intending to go around and attack the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the mobilized army amounted to 20 people. King Duan Xiangxing of Dali sent General Gaohe of Dali Kingdom to start a fierce battle with the Mongolian army in Jiuhe area of Lijiang today.
Gao He died in Dajiuhe. Fortunately, Dali did not perish because of the defeat, and the Mongolian army retreated due to the death of the Great Khan Wo Kuotai.
After the war, Duan Lianzhe, a special envoy from Dali, went to the Song Dynasty to report the situation of the battle, and the Song Dynasty also sent a mission to Dali to mourn the fallen soldiers in Jiuhe.
Li Yongxuan wooed the Dali Kingdom not only to increase the power against Mongolia, but also to obtain the war horses of the Dali Kingdom.
Although Dali was small and weak, it was rich in horses, and the Song Dynasty was short of horses. Li Yongxuan wanted to form a strong cavalry, but he didn't have enough horses.
Upon receiving the news from Li Yongxuan, the entire Dali Kingdom readily accepted it and requested to do business with the Song Dynasty.
Over the years, the Dali Kingdom has repeatedly requested to be attached to the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty has never been interested.
On the one hand, in view of the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had established a vassal relationship with Nanzhao, but after the Anshi Rebellion, Nanzhao actually rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and invaded, and even broke through Chengdu, causing chaos in the southwestern region of the Tang Dynasty. Be on high alert.
On the other hand, the backward southwestern region could not bring much benefit to the Song Dynasty. In addition, in the face of strong enemies in the north, the contraction strategy was adopted in the southwest to ensure the tranquility of the southwest region.
To put it bluntly, the Song Dynasty was too rich and Dali was too poor.
It's like a beggar who wants to establish a friendly relationship with a rich man. The rich man always feels that others are plotting his property and is unwilling to contact him. Especially if the rich man is not very powerful, he will naturally be very vigilant.
The purpose of Dali's defection to the Song Dynasty was very simple. They yearned for the developed economy, advanced culture and technology of the Song Dynasty. More importantly, they could not resist the invasion of the Mongolian army and hoped to get the help of the Song Dynasty.
Now that Li Yongxuan is in control of the Song Dynasty, and the national power is gradually becoming stronger, it is natural to implement an expansion strategy.
Unexpectedly, Annan's side was flatly rejected.
After thinking about it, I was relieved.
If Li Yongxuan hadn't appeared, the Song Dynasty was now under tremendous pressure from Mongolia in the north. Except for defending the capital, almost all military forces were hoarded in the north, and there was basically no business in the south.
Annan and other countries in Southeast Asia have become self-reliant, they no longer worship the Song Dynasty, and they no longer recognize the Song Dynasty as the suzerain state. Facing the envoy sent by Li Yongxuan, how could they easily submit?
Especially Annan, as a powerful country in Southeast Asia, did not take the weak Song Dynasty seriously.
