Yunze looked at the few people, smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, Prince Ming won't fall out with me because of an unfulfilled son, unless he is out of his mind, he can see the situation clearly. Moreover, Song Bingqing will solve this matter of."
After hearing this, several people nodded. They also knew to some extent where Yunze's confidence lay. Now that the entire Jing Dynasty had been destroyed, these people might have other thoughts. Instead of stabilizing their own affairs first, they would come to Yunze instead. Trouble, that's really out of my mind.
Not to mention, Yunze was the only person who destroyed the Jin Army. Those people were afraid of the Jin Army, and they were even more afraid of Yunze.
In this battle, Yunze's more than 20,000 soldiers were all trained. Moreover, Yunze's casualties in this battle were less than 3,000. Such a record is enough to make them proud.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back..." Yunze whispered to everyone. After hearing the words, everyone nodded and went about their own business.
On the other side, Akule escaped. He rushed towards Tokyo City desperately, not daring to stop for a moment, because he was afraid that once he stopped, the people sent by Yunze might catch up.
He had less than 200 soldiers under his command. Speaking of which, he accompanied the army as a supervisor this time and led a team of a thousand people. But in the end, there were less than 200 soldiers left.
When they rushed back to Tokyo City, Zong Han, Zong Bi and Xi Yi, who were waiting in the palace, were speechless for a long time after hearing the news that Guo Zhaotu was defeated and killed.
The three of them looked at each other, with only deep shock and fear in their eyes, and they killed more than 30,000 of their soldiers. Although these soldiers were under Guo Zhaotu, they were still considered the Jin Army.
"Yunze is a handsome man who has not been seen in a thousand years... If I want to fight with him, I don't have enough confidence and arrangements. I'm afraid no one will ever be able to defeat him..." Xiyi couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yes, this man is so smart that people really have to be afraid of him. Last time, 30,000 of our troops were ambushed and destroyed by him. This time, he was able to lay a trap in advance, waiting for us to fall into the trap. If so, we are sending our men, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will be lost again this time."
Zong Han also sighed, his eyes full of helplessness and fear. Of course, there is still a trace of luck. As for Guo Zhaotu and his soldiers, they will die.
After all, the other party was just a surrendered general. If they were not afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, they would have killed Guo Zhaotu. Now that they had used Yunze's help to kill him, it would be one less hidden danger for them.
If Guo Zhaotu knew his status in the hearts of the Jin people, I don't know if he would regret paying the gold. Unfortunately, he wanted to paddle among the Jin people, but he had no chance at all.
Zong Han was also worried about him paddling, so he sent Akule to supervise the army. Guo Zhaotu, a paddling general who changed hands several times, also lost his life because of this.
"This son must be eliminated. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me, Dajin, to destroy Dajing and occupy this great river and mountain!" Zongbi's eyes were filled with brilliance, and his eyes showed a strong murderous intent.
His son Wanyan Lu behind him opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. Wanyan Lu had been with Yunze for a while, but he knew that Yunze was scary. He still remembers Yunze in that small town. The power of one person against the Liangshan bandits.
He really wanted to persuade his father that if possible, it would be better not to face Yunze in the end, otherwise, he would die without knowing why.
Unfortunately, he knew that his father would not listen to his words. He could only hope that his father would not confront Yunze in the future.
"Okay, let's inform Li Zheng that we are preparing to withdraw our troops. Let him take care of the north. If something goes wrong, be careful of his dog head." Zong Han looked at Xiyi and Zong Bi, then turned to another general on the side and said .
The general left with gloomy expressions on their faces. They originally wanted to kill Yunze as a potential threat in one go, but it seemed impossible now.
Whether it was Yunze's terrifying plan or the weird weapons he had in his hands, they gave up the idea of continuing to attack. Not only because they knew they couldn't destroy Yunze now.
What's more, even if they destroyed the Jing Dynasty, there were still too many forces in the entire Jing Dynasty. They had just destroyed the Khitan not long ago, and their foundation was unstable, so they could only give up the idea of annexing the Jing Dynasty.
In this way, at the end of the eighth year of the first year of Kangzheng, the Jin army withdrew from the Jing Dynasty and returned to the Kingdom of Jin. Except for some places in the north of the Jing Dynasty, the rest of the area was left to Li Zheng, the king of Tokyo whom they supported.
After Li Zheng became the King of Tokyo, he began to expand his army crazily. In addition, with the demise of the Jing Dynasty, many forces emerged in various places in the Jing Dynasty.
Among them were the Jin Dynasty founded by Tian Hu in the north, and the Fang Wa brothers who captured Suhang Mansion. They proclaimed themselves King Yongle. Then there was King Kang, who proclaimed himself Emperor Nanjing, and his territory was close to the south. It makes him behave like an orthodox person.
After all, since Emperor Jing was kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin, the entire Jing Dynasty existed in name only, and his self-proclaimed Emperor Nanjing was recognized by many people.
King Ming also took this opportunity to proclaim himself Emperor Beijing. His territory was close to the north, and many forces recognized him and followed him. The rest are local forces that work independently.
On the surface, no one can be offended. Whether it is Nanjing of King Kang or Beijing of King Ming, they all express their loyalty. Finally, there are some small and medium-sized forces. The demise of the Jing Dynasty caused the whole of China to fall apart.
On Yunze's side, he had organized his army and started to return to Danyang. Along the way, he saw many refugees. Some of these refugees fled from the north, and some escaped from Tokyo. The number of refugees numbered in the millions.
Almost every distance, there will be groups of refugees ranging from thousands to tens of thousands on the road. They all wanted to move south.
The refugees they saw along the way made Yunze and others feel very uncomfortable. All the refugees were not fully clothed, and they were all yellow and thin from hunger. Some even fought against fellow refugees just for a little food.
We often see armed fights, and then a few corpses are left behind. Sometimes, someone even rushes over to eat the corpses. Those who fall, even if they have a breath, may become food in other people's mouths.
Cries and shouts filled the refugees. When Yunze's army came, some of the refugees were afraid, and some were watching. When people are hungry, they sometimes turn into beasts.
Even during the march, some strong refugees wanted to plunder Yunze and others' army. Seeing this, Yunze decisively ordered a suppression.
Even though these people are refugees, if they are not suppressed, in the end their army may not even be able to return to Danyang City.
After several small-scale attacks on the military formation were suppressed, the road became much more peaceful. Su Qianmo, Song Youwei, Yue Pengju and Gao Chong all had complicated expressions.
The world is in chaos, and the people are suffering.
"When the world prospers, the people suffer; when the world dies, the people also suffer... This world...sigh..." Yue Pengju looked at the refugees, his voice a little low and helpless.
Hearing this, Yunze turned to look at Yue Pengju and said: "Pengju, if the world dies and the people suffer, but if the world prospers, if the people suffer, it is because the superiors have not done anything. If we can have a good national policy, the world will prosper, and the people will suffer." Talk about suffering!”
His words made Yue Pengju stunned for a while, and others also looked at Yunze in astonishment. You know how many years this sentence has been circulating. This is a truth that everyone understands.
When the world is prosperous, although the entire country is strong and prosperous, the people at the bottom are still suffering. Because most of the wealth is still in the hands of the rich. In the end, it is the poor who cannot afford to eat.
Yunze looked at the astonished people with a smile on his face. The reason why the feudal society had such an image of prosperity and suffering for the people was entirely because of the annexation of land.
The poor have no land in their hands. No matter how hard and tired they are, they are still working for the landlord. If the landlord has a better conscience, he will leave some surplus food for the people. If the landlord has a bad conscience, he will even let the people work until the end of the year and lose everything. Can't catch it.
The reason is land. If you want to change this situation, you need to take the land into the hands of the state and then distribute it to the people. If people like the landlords who eat the blood of the people are eliminated, there will be no such thing as a prosperous world and suffering for the people.
This is the experience Yunze gained from history in his previous life. Of course, class conflicts will always exist. Even Yunze, who has experience in his previous life, dare not say that he can truly achieve a harmonious world and realize a utopian society.
"Brother, do you have a good national policy..." Yue Pengju looked at Yunze, with a look of expectation in his eyes. He already had blind confidence in Yunze.
Gao Chong, Su Qianmo and Song Youwei on the side also looked over curiously.
Yunze looked at a few people, smiled slightly and said: "The reason why the people suffer is entirely because they will never get justice. They do the most tiring work, but get the meager money. What the people rely on for survival is the land. But if the land is in the hands of individuals, the people will suffer. But if it is in the hands of the state, and then the state leaves it to the people to cultivate, the tax collected will only be 10%! Or no tax at all!?"
As soon as Yunze said these words, several people looked slightly startled, with a look of contemplation in their eyes.
"But if only 10% of the tax is collected, or no tax is collected, how can the country have money? What about the officials' salaries? What about other expenses, military expenses? Wait!"
Yue Pengju looked at Yunze in surprise and expressed his doubts.
Others nodded.
Yunze smiled and said: "The state collects taxes not only from farmers, but also how much money can be made from the taxes of the people. In fact, the state can collect business taxes, as well as tariffs. The so-called tariffs, Even if we open up border trade and even overseas trade, these taxes will not be small. You must know that merchants are the richest. In addition to these, there are also state-owned workshops and so on... If the country wants to make money, there are many ways. "
"As for the taxes on the people, it's okay not to have them. If the people don't have taxes, do you think the people's lives will still be miserable?"
Yunze explained patiently and very carefully. Everyone listened and suddenly felt that it made sense. Even if they didn't know much, they knew that Yunze's method was absolutely feasible if implemented.
The eyes of Yue Pengju and Gao Chong were both bright. They looked at Yunze with burning eyes. They said seriously: "Brother, we are willing to follow you to realize the prosperity of the world and the happiness of the people as you say!"
Yunze looked at the two brothers with a smile on his face. The smile slowly spread from his face, and Yunze looked up to the sky and smiled. He has truly conquered these two warriors. With this ideal, they will help him achieve what he wants.
