When Yang Miaozhen learned that the people occupying Dengzhou Prefecture were a group of Han people, she was also puzzled. Although she found nothing for the time being, in order to confirm the origin of the other party, she still sent experts to the grassland overnight and day and night. As well as Lin'an to inquire about news.
No matter whether this unknown force is a rebel army, a remnant of the Jin Kingdom, or even supported by the Song Dynasty, she is not afraid. What she is afraid of is that these people are sent from above. It's getting more intense, coupled with Zhang Rou's defeat some time ago.
In addition, and the most important point is the recent internal strife in the Temugeor Chijin family. This is what she fears the most!
What if this group of people was supported by the Mongols?
Beware of the ten thousand year ship, she must find out the origin of this group of people, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to take action easily.
The reason why the Yidu Li family wanted to maintain contact with the Southern Song Dynasty was really helpless. In fact, they did not really want to join the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, they did not really want to join Mongolia. Their real purpose was to maintain their own rule.
In the process of destroying the Song Dynasty in the early days, the Mongols enfeoffed a large number of feudal lords. However, time has changed and the Jin Kingdom has long been swept into the garbage dump. The leader of any country will not tolerate the emergence of so many vassal towns under his command.
Of course, the Mongols do have the custom of enfeoffing, but who are the people who are eligible to be enfeoffed?
All of them are members of the Golden Family, or Mongolians who are inextricably related to the Golden Family. What qualifications do you Han people have to enjoy the same treatment as us? The previous enfeoffment of the Han people was just a temporary measure.
As the political power gradually stabilized, the Mongols also began to suppress the power of the Han people.
During the period when Wokuotai was in power, in order to weaken the power of the Han people, Prime Minister Yelu Chucai proposed to implement a new tax system in the Han area of the Central Plains, stipulating that "every two households will produce one catty of silk for state use; five households will produce one catty of silk. In order to give the capital of Tang Mu, the hero of the kings' (Wuhu silk system).
At the same time, according to the Mongolian custom of dividing family property, the households in Zhongyuan Prefecture were divided among the various kings and noble relatives. The area controlled by the Li Group was mainly divided between the Timugeot Chijin family (the younger brother of Genghis Khan), Zhuochi The Hesar family (brothers of Genghis Khan) and the Dalitaiou Chijin family (younger brothers of Genghis Khan's father and uncles of Genghis Khan).
To put it nicely, the Li Group is just a retainer of these people, but in reality they are just retainers of these people. Not only that, after Temuge Ochijin and others are granted the title, they will also entrust these food towns to their heirs and subordinates. In this way You seal me, and I seal you. If there are too many mothers-in-law, it will be difficult to be a daughter-in-law.
Although most of this group of Mongolians only want profits and rarely interfere in specific affairs, they can't handle the large number of people. There are always one or two people who like to point fingers. The Li Group does not dare to offend each other too much and can only keep making concessions.
As a female figure, Yang Miaozhen was able to inherit the Shandong Red Coat Army after her brother's death and manage it in an orderly manner. Naturally, she was not a simple person.
In order to break the situation, and on the one hand to win over the Han people under Shandong rule, she made friends with the Quanzhen sect, which was very influential in the north. There were many followers of the Quanzhen sect. Yang Miaozhen and his son Li Fen were even elected officials in Shandong. Steward of the Congregation.
On the other hand, in order to find a backer in Mongolia, she went to great lengths to arrange a marriage for her son Li Fen, and entered into a marriage alliance with the Chijin family of Temugeor, the leader of the left-wing kings. Li Fen married Temugeor. Chijin's two daughters became each other's sons-in-law.
However, these two items alone are not enough to consolidate their own rule. At best, they can only maintain the current situation.
Yang Miaozhen, who rose from a humble beginning, knew very well that money and food were the most important. Without money and food, he could not recruit soldiers. Without soldiers, he could only be slaughtered by others. However, the Mongols did not know how to divide the areas under their control, large and small. How much food is there?
These mothers-in-law don't care how you collect taxes. You will give me my money anyway when the time comes. They don't ask anyone else but just you, Mr. Li. Some people have a huge appetite.
The Li Group has no choice but to try its best to satisfy these mothers-in-law and use various means to extract money, but it cannot plunder too much, otherwise the people will not agree. When the time comes to suppress the uprising, it will be difficult and expensive to suppress the uprising. Said that the Mongols would definitely take the opportunity to blame them.
To fill this big hole, only lucrative overseas trade can meet the needs!
In desperation, the Li Group could only secretly smuggle goods to Korea, Japan, and the Southern Song Dynasty. As long as they could make money, there was nothing they dared to do.
Yang Miaozhen travels among various forces, always maintaining a balance, and cannot make any mistakes. It is like dancing on the tip of a knife. The result of a slight mistake may be fatal. Thanks to her long-sleeved dance, good management, and multi-pronged approach. Protect the interests of the Li Group.
Therefore, she will not easily send troops to attack before she has found out where the opponent is coming from. At this time, it is better to stay still than to move. Let's wait and see. Anyway, according to the intelligence, the opponent made no other moves after occupying Dengzhou Mansion.
There is no problem in delaying for a few days, and it will not be too late to report to the Mongols when the sent spies return.
After Sun Yuan occupied Dengzhou Prefecture, he still didn't see any action from the Li family, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Could it be that the other party was delayed by something?
Could it be because Temuge Ochijin failed to prepare to seize the throne of Khan by force?
It is not a secret among the senior officials of the Fuxing Society that Timuge Or Chijin conspired to start an army, and Li Fen, the heir to the Li Group, is also the son-in-law of Timuge Or Chijin, and the relationship between the two parties is very close.
Now that Guiyou has successfully ascended the throne, and gradually turned from weak to evenly matched in the battle with Tolegona, he can finally be free to deal with the case of Temuge'o Chijin's rebellion.
The person who tried the Teemuge Or Chijin rebellion case was none other than Meng Ge, and Meng Ge was from the right-wing camp and belonged to a different camp from the Teemuge Or Chijin family. The trial was naturally business-like, and in the end Teemuge Ochijin was executed.
Although Temuge O Chijin died, his family still continued without much punishment.
Li Fen was the son-in-law of Tiemuge Ochijin. When his father-in-law was still alive, in order to please his father-in-law, he devoted himself to trying to please Tachaer, the direct grandson of Tiemuge Ochijin. The relationship between the two was very good, but Temugeor Chijin died because of a treason case.
Grandpa died, and so did his father. At this time, Tachaer was underage, and his half-brother suddenly began to think of deposing his legitimate son.
The Temugeor Chijin family is the thickest among the thighs supported by the Li Group. Of course, Li Fen, mother and son hope that the throne will be inherited by Tachaer, who is closer to them.
Recently, the Yidu Li family has been busy with the succession struggle of the Temugeor Chijin family. It was precisely because Li Jie saw this opportunity that he captured Dengzhou Prefecture.
