"Take the initiative to drive away the Huns!" Someone shouted first, and all the knights followed suit.

Qi Yun got on her horse and ran around in front of the dragoon phalanx. The knights' horses hissed after him, as if venting their master's restlessness in charging.

"Master Jiang, please command the formation!" Seeing that the soldiers' emotions had been aroused, Qi Yun rode up to Jiang Ziya and made a gesture of invitation.Having seen Jiang Ziya's performance that day, she knows that she is a good player when it comes to charging and killing, but when it comes to marching, a hundred of her are not enough in front of Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly and did not refuse. He waved the apricot-yellow flag with one hand and the whip with the other to command the cavalry to line up.Not long after, a formation centered on the flying geese formation and supplemented by conical formations on both sides appeared in front of Qi Yun.She couldn't help praising, this formation, the knights in the flying geese formation in the middle can withstand the attack to the maximum extent, and resist the opponent from the front, while the flank cone formation is suitable for breakthrough, and can tear apart the enemy's defense line in the shortest time!

"Come on!" After finishing the formation, Qi Yun raised his gun and mounted his horse, leading [-] heavy cavalry directly out of the city gate.Behind him, Jiang Ziya took every step, steadily pressing the rest of the infantry and archers in formation!

At this moment, the Huns' military tents are still in rest time, and these prairie wolves have never told the lamb-like Central Plains people that there will be a day when they will take the initiative to fight back!By the time they reacted and rode their horses in ecstasy, thinking that they could finally beat this group of weaklings who were not covered by thunder on the grassland, tragedy was destined to befall them.

The Xiongnu mainly used light cavalry, cavalry and archery, and had no tradition of heavy cavalry. Once they bumped into this group of armored heavy cavalry, they would naturally be defeated.Wherever the dragoons went, it was like wind and clouds, and they couldn't even find a complete body!

Occasionally, the fish that barely survived the charge of the dragoons would be killed by the follow-up infantry phalanx.Riding, stepping, and bowing together advance, under the command of Jiang Ziya, it is like Mount Tai pressing down on the top!

Gradually, the beaten Huns, who were helpless to fight back, saw the dragoons approaching as if they had seen death, and they no longer even had the thought of resisting, so they mounted their horses and fled far away.

Seeing this, Uwe Shanyu sighed: "I never thought that Wei would have such brave armored cavalry. From now on, the Huns must not be enemies of Wei!"

After all, he gave the order to retreat.

Chapter 103 Hero Attributes

Qi Yun led the Dragoon Legion to defeat the 20 cavalry of the Xiongnu in Shanhaiguan, and Uwe Shanyu fled north in a hurry!Qi Yun pursued all the way, but due to the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry and lack of mobility, when they chased to Yanran Mountain, the formation of the Wei army was a little scattered.Jiang Ziya considered that if he continued to pursue, he might be counterattacked by the Huns, so he stopped here

This battle was called the "Yanran Mountain Victory" by later generations. It was the beginning of Wei's transition from defense to Xiongnu, and the transition from decline to prosperity. It was also a classic and exemplary case of the power of heavy cavalry.

The news of Yanran Mountain's great victory was like a prairie fire, spreading throughout the entire land of China in just a few days.The whole Great Wei was full of joy and encouragement. It had been too long since Great Wei had fought such a hearty victory against the Huns.Qi Yun's reputation among the people suddenly rose to the sky, and of course, the status of Yan Hao, who was in charge of the capital and made all decisions, also rose.

Although this emperor has repeatedly made absurd actions, he can punish traitors and corrupt officials internally, and order the Huns externally. Who would dare to question his wisdom?

At the same time, Fan Li, the newly appointed envoy of the Three Governments, is also showing his talents to the world.

When he first took office, the three veterans Lin Song, Zhang Feng and Ge Jianzhang all had a hundred dissatisfaction with him. How can you, an unknown person, be able to climb on top of us?

But as time went by, Fan Li issued every order vigorously and decisively, and every decision he made was accurate.Under his planning, the country's economic reforms were carried out in an orderly manner, well and quickly.The heads of the three governments couldn't figure it out. For the same measure, Fan Li's implementation would be more efficient and profitable than their own implementation!They could only respect Fan Li like a god, and soon obeyed him without any doubts.

Yan Hao attributed it to the system's hidden settings for the summoned characters, which is also a new discovery he has only recently explored.After all, the summoning of each historical figure consumes as much as [-] points. To be able to afford this price, the system needs no special settings. Each character has different hidden attributes.

For example, Zhao Yun's hidden attribute is the protector, which has been tested many times in actual combat. His attribute is to see the overall situation, which can be seen from the ten strategies he submitted to Yan Hao as soon as he appeared on the stage, as well as the recent economic restructuring strategy, he is a compound strategic talent.

As for Jiang Ziya, needless to say, of course it is the art of war and formation.As long as Jiang Ziya uses his troops, the overall combat capability of the entire army will have a terrifying improvement. The old man is worthy of the title of "Ancestor of Soldiers"!

As for Fan Li's attributes, according to Yan Hao's speculation, it should be related to business. Under his management, the income of commercial activities will increase by 10% to 20%, and other economic activities will also have a correspondingly smaller increase.Although this number is not big, if it corresponds to the base of the entire country, it is an astronomical number.For example, the country can collect 2000 million taels of silver in commercial tax this year, and after having Fan Li, it can collect 200 to 400 million taels more.

After understanding this point, Yan Hao also had a deeper understanding of the power of characters summoned by hero cards.The more historical heroes, the better!

Chapter 104 New Deal Wave

Generally speaking, the current situation is that the tax reform has been preliminarily implemented, and the collection of the first batch of new taxes is proceeding smoothly; the scale of redundant officials and redundant personnel in various places has been rapidly reduced, and next year's financial expenditure will decline visibly; Low-interest country loans, everyone applauds.

Commercially, previous efforts are gradually bearing fruit.Yunhua Shu Brocade was popular in the whole Wei Dynasty and overseas, and silver flew into the treasury like snowflakes; the mercantilist policy had a remarkable effect, the commercial circulation rate of the whole Wei Dynasty was greatly improved, and all walks of life flourished, which brought about commercial taxes. The amount has skyrocketed; the caravans sent overseas have gradually returned to Wei in batches. The goods they bring back can make a lot of money for themselves, and at the same time, they will also contribute a huge amount of tariffs to the country!

Of course, signs of the disintegration of the small peasant economy that Yan Hao is most concerned about have also begun to appear.The large-scale promotion of the Tianxing Jacquard machine has brought about a sharp drop in the price of cotton cloth. Every household can afford cotton cloth, and the cloth woven by themselves cannot be sold in the market. Many families have given up the tradition of weaving by themselves!In addition, government and private handicrafts are recruiting a large number of people, so more and more people begin to accept the form of hired labor and invest in the production of integrated handicrafts.

With the support of this batch of labor force, the productivity of Da Wei in all walks of life (mining, iron smelting, tea making, wine making, salt making, water transportation, etc.) is steadily increasing!

However, reforms will inevitably bring pains, and the benefits of any reform will inevitably not cover everyone, and there will always be people whose interests will be damaged.

For example, in this economic reform, the ordinary people and the business class are of course the ones to benefit.The common people can afford to wear clothes and get more income while reducing their burden.Although the proportion of businessmen who pay taxes has increased, the increase is far less than the increase in their income.Not to mention that the social status of merchants has been improved under Wei's pro-business policy, so they will naturally have no complaints.

As for the landlords and aristocrats, their original income mainly comes from the output of the fields and the rents paid by the tenants. Under the wave of commercialization, there is almost no growth, but the corresponding proportion of taxes they need to bear has skyrocketed, so These are the people who have been hit the hardest.

Of course, in fact, Yan Hao still left a hand in this new deal, and did not touch the issue of land ownership under the feudal economy.Because this issue is more sensitive than the field currently involved, it is almost tantamount to touching the lifeblood of these people, and it may shake the foundation of the great Wei Dynasty.Therefore, the strategy adopted by Yan Hao is to start business first, then start agriculture, and wait until the superficial changes are almost done. Only with the new impetus generated by the reforms can he move forward in the agricultural field and solve problems such as land mergers and privatizations. Something else.

The impacted classes mentioned above can be further divided into two categories.One category is people who actively adapt to new policies and make corresponding changes.These people took advantage of the originally well-off family property to take advantage of the reform to buy caravans, go overseas for trade, and set up workshops. They took advantage of the trend and enjoyed the blessings brought about by the reform.

But some other people are different. They have no ability to adapt to the tide of the times, but resist instinctively. These people are the diehards in Yan Hao's eyes, and the country's bedbugs.Some of them used their local influence to obstruct the implementation of the reform, and some even used force to resist the implementation of the New Deal by the local government!

In addition, another potential obstruction force of the New Deal is the literati class.On the surface, the New Deal did not harm their interests.However, some literati are not old-fashioned, and Yan Hao's behavior of arresting Tang Heyue and Zhou Han after he ascended the throne angered some people, making these arrogant people very hostile to Yan Hao, and they opposed the New Deal just like others. It is full of irony.

The deeper reason involves the struggle between poor families and noble families.As the saying goes, "the upper class has no poor families, and the lower class has no noble families." Originally, the Great Wei was a class system similar to a knowledge monopoly. Only big families were qualified to train literati. No.However, after the implementation of the New Deal, the status of businessmen has been greatly improved, and all classes have equal opportunities to become officials. This of course broke the monopoly of aristocratic families. How can they not be in a hurry?

Of course, Chen Lei, the head of the newly established Privy Council, will never condone those who openly obstruct the New Deal, and will mobilize government soldiers from all over the country to mercilessly suppress them.The Dongchang and the Lady Division also played an important role. The Jinyiwei of the Dongchang penetrated into all parts of the Wei Dynasty, and resolutely arrested those with malicious intentions.

Under the leadership of Xia Ji, the lady Si Nansi used a large number of Yanliu women in the Goulan Brothel Hotel to obtain information. No matter how difficult the target was, once she took off her clothes, all the men would say anything.

After Beisi Gu Nianxin got the information, he immediately organized capable ladies to be arrested and interrogated, and the two cooperated seamlessly.These beautiful and beautiful ladies are more ruthless in their work, and their deterrent power among the people is no less than that of Dongchang Jinyiwei.In order to reward Gu Nianxin, Yan Hao also specially called her to the palace for two days.

But what really worried Yan Hao and others were some hidden and potential opposition forces.The reason why this force is threatening is because they know that it is impossible to confront the government on the surface, so they secretly collude with vassal kings and warlords. Once the two combine, they may pose a real threat to Yan Hao's rule.Therefore, these talents are the targets of Dongchang Ladies Division's main investigation, but due to their concealment, there are still a large area of ​​icebergs hidden under the water surface without showing.

Wuwei Gao is one of them.

Chapter 105 Wuwei Gao Shi

Longyou Road, Wuwei County, Gao Family Courtyard.

The Wuwei Gao family is almost one of the largest families in Wuwei. The ancestor of the Gao family, Gao Hanjie, once fought with Emperor Taiwu in the north and south, and made great contributions. After the founding of the country, he was named the county prince.Now that it has been passed down for so many generations, the title of Duke of the county has also been reduced to Marquis of Wuwei County.Even so, the title of Marquis of the County is already a supreme existence in Wuwei County, one level higher than the prefect of Wuwei County!

Because of this, in the entire Wuwei County, the Gao family is like an overlord, and all court officials have to go around when they see people from the Gao family.Even the first thing that the previous prefects did when they took office was to visit the head of the Gao family. If a certain prefect did not have the support of the Gao family, then he would be unable to move a single step during his term of office and would be unable to do anything. If the relationship between them is established, then he will be able to reap the benefits smoothly before leaving.

But for such a powerful Gao family, after Yan Haozhong took power, life became more and more difficult.First, the imperial court cleared up officials, eliminated corrupt officials, and grasped political achievements. A large number of bureaucrats in Wuwei County and Gao's family were removed.Next, Dongchang and Ladies Division were stationed in Wuwei County. Under their supervision, the new prefect and officials no longer had the respect they used to have for the Gao family.

But now, Yan Hao has implemented this new policy again. Due to the large amount of land, the Gao family needs to bear huge taxes. The horse merchants and weapon merchants in Wuwei County rose overnight, and all of them were in full swing. Today's Gao family no longer has the glory of the past.

Under such circumstances, the Gao family held deep resentment towards the emperor's New Deal.The current head of the Gao family, Gao Kai, said the most often in private: "The emperor is going to destroy the foundation of my great Wei."

On this day, the Gao family compound ushered in an unexpected visitor, it was Hou Jiaxiang who went to Northwest Wang Chengliang that day.

"The Northwest King really has this plan?" Gao Kai immediately lowered his voice when he heard Hou Jiaxiang explain his identity and purpose, and stared at him warily.

Hou Jiaxiang smiled slightly: "Why should the county magistrate be nervous? The Gao family covers the sky with one hand in Wuwei County, and who would dare to put eyes and ears here?"

Gao Kai said: "Your Majesty Hou doesn't know something, the Jinyi Guards in the East Factory are all-pervasive, and the girls in the Lady Division are even more ruthless. My Gao family's life is also sad!"

Hou Jiaxiang said: "Since this is the case, my lord should help the Northwest King. Think about it, my lord, if this is done, you will be the hero who founded the country, and it is not impossible to restore the glory of the ancestors!"

Gao Kai was silent for a moment and said: "This is treason... Lord Hou, are you so determined and willing to serve the Northwest King?"

Hou Jiaxiang snorted coldly and said, "I'm not for the Northwest King, I'm for myself! That dog emperor took his wife, he's stupid and cruel, will I have a good life under the hands of this kind of person? Your Excellency the county magistrate , if you keep swallowing your anger like this, I will be a lesson for you! Yan Hao is acting so mischievously, sooner or later he will turn Wuwei County over, and then you..."

"What's the use of the Northwest King to go to the old man?" Hou Jiaxiang's words touched Gao Kai's heart, and he finally decided to step on the Northwest King's chariot.

Hou Jiaxiang said darkly: "Master Gao Kai, don't worry. Wuwei County is located on the main road connecting the northwest and southeast of Longyou Road. It is a battleground for military strategists. Staying here and secretly controlling the situation will be the greatest help to the Northwest King. ! We have made a careful plan, and we only need to wait for you to strike back at the critical moment, and you will surely catch that dog emperor by surprise, and the event will be accomplished!"

Chapter 106 Yingying commits suicide

The conspiracy far in the northwest has not been known to Yan Hao for the time being, and now he is in trouble.
