Chapter 268 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou
Tax increase is an extremely important decision. That night, You Miao was called into the palace by Zhao Chao. When You Miao brought up this matter, Zhao Chao asked, "Have you read all the excerpts?"
"Thousands of documents." You Miao couldn't laugh or cry: "How can I finish reading it? I will write the memorial tonight and publish it tomorrow. You must withstand the pressure of the officials."
You Miao's plan for a rainy day is not unreasonable. After all, after Nie Dan sends troops, the battle front may be endlessly delayed. Everyone wants a quick battle, but it is often not what people want.Increasing taxes now will undoubtedly cause complaints from the people, but it can ensure the most abundant supply of food and grass for the army.
Sure enough, the next morning, when You Miao went to court, he was unanimously resisted by all the officials.
However, this time the boycott was different from a few years ago. Instead of attacking in groups, everyone remained silent and watched You Miao.
There was no sound in the hall, and everyone expected to disagree. You Miao looked around and knew that with Li Yan as the leader, the court and China had formed an alliance to deal with You Miao specifically.
Zhao Chao broke the silence and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Yandao: "The tax increase is no small matter. Yangzhou has recuperated and recuperated for many years, and it has finally recovered to a state of prosperity. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
You Miao said: "The lost land in the north is expected to be recovered, what are you waiting for?"
"Forgive me." Ping Xi said: "Going to war rashly, I'm afraid it will lead to an unmanageable situation. The Tatars and our dynasty have been negotiating peace for ten years, and now three years have passed, and we are on the cusp of this crisis again. It will inevitably lead to resentment among the Hus. The Wuhu and the Tatars are bitter, if they unite..."
"We won't unite." You Miao said: "He Motie'er has gone, the era of the Tatars is over, and now the Tatars are getting tired, and the princes and nobles are more comfortable than fighting. On the other hand, I am raised by Tianqi After three years of recharging, General Nie returned to the court, and the enemy is gone. If you are not prepared to attack, you will be able to regain your homeland. Don’t you all want to return to the Central Plains? Are you going to live in Yangzhou for the rest of your life?”
Li Yan said angrily: "Your Excellency, do you mean that we are in a corner, betraying our country and seeking glory?"
You Miao said with a smile: "I have no such intentions, it's just that Yangzhou... is not a place of long-term peace after all. Scholars in the Central Plains, given time, will still return to the Central Plains. Back then, the northerners went south and took up the southern resources for many years. Now there are southerners. If there is a chance to move, why not go back to Gyeonggi? It’s time to return Yangzhou to the southerners.”
You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, and You Miao is not a vegetarian. After You Miao said this, the northern faction headed by Li Yan turned very ugly, while the southern gentry forces were silent.
"Under the whole world, is it the king's land?" Li Yandao: "Where your Majesty will set the capital, it will naturally be where the imperial court is located. Lord You..."
You Miao smiled and said, "It's just a joke."
Nie Dan interrupted: "Your Majesty, please make preparations early. If you miss the beginning of spring, you will have to wait another year. As long as we cross the Yellow River and face the Tatar army, we will be able to drive them out of the north of the Great Wall with the Blue Pass as our base." .It will not be too late for all the lords in the court to make peace after recovering their homeland."
You Miao looked at Zhao Chao, Zhao Chao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have decided to move the capital to the capital this year, what do you think?"
This sentence unintentionally caused a shocking thunder. Even You Miao never expected that Zhao Chao would say this suddenly, and he never discussed it with anyone beforehand.
"The capital has been useless for a long time!" Qin Shaonan changed his expression and said, "Your Majesty must not have a whim."
"The geographical location of the capital was determined by Taizu." Zhao Chaodao: "The north is connected to Languan, surrounded by the natural danger of the Yellow River, and the land in Guanzhong is rich and fertile. I have personally inspected it. Only the buildings in the capital were burned down by the fire, and the city walls are still intact. If it is enough to fight against the Hu people, why not?"
"It will cost a lot of money to rebuild the capital." Now even You Miao had to turn his back and try to block Zhao Chao's idea, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
"Absolutely not."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
The courtiers were in a panic, they didn't expect Zhao Chao to move as soon as he wanted, Zhao Chao thought twice, and had to back down: "Then this matter will be postponed for later discussion, and the matter of raising taxes and sending troops, what else do you have to say?"
The ministers looked at each other, this time they really understood Zhao Chao's determination, not only to send troops, but also to move the capital... No one wants to take Zhao Chao's edge on this cusp, let alone You Miao and Nie Dan, once they return to the court, immediately Having mastered the right to speak in the DPRK, he had to avoid it first.
The next day was coming, You Miao didn't sleep well all night, Ping Xi came over and said, "Brother will serve you wine to welcome the wind in a few nights."
You Miao knew that this matter was necessary, so she nodded, made an appointment, and went back to catch up on sleep first.After sleeping for a long time, someone from the palace summoned him again, Zhao Chao summoned him, so he had no choice but to go back to the palace.
Zhao Chao and Nie Dan have already begun to study the marching route, and everything has been arranged. They will mobilize the army for the Northern Expedition before the second day of February. Nie Dan will drive out the Tatars and regain the lost land north of Zhengliang Pass.
Nie Dan's troops were in the open, while Li Zhifeng's troops were in the dark. First, they surrounded Yanbian City, and used the method of encircling points to fight for reinforcements, consuming Yanbian's food and grass, and luring him out of the city for a decisive battle.Li Zhifeng stood guard along the Yellow River, and would attack from the center if any Hu tribe rushed to the north to help.
Yanbian was no better than Da'an, and there was not much food and grass reserves. If Da'an was willing to lead troops to help, Nie Dan would start a decisive battle with the Tatar king's army on the plain.If Da'an does not send troops, Nie Dan will surround Yanbian until there is no food to consume and occupy the city.
To besiege the city, there must be sufficient food and grass. After years of training, Tianqi's soldiers are already elite soldiers. You Miao believes that there is no problem in besieging Yanbian City for half a year.
