Shulu Ping was sitting in the dark tent, when suddenly the door curtain was suddenly opened.
The two warriors in the tent were about to draw out their knives, but when they saw the person, they immediately stopped what they were doing. After hesitating for a moment, they took the initiative to retreat to both sides.
Several maids serving Shulu Ping also ran to both sides with panic on their faces, prostrate themselves on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Siwen, Yelu dinian, Han Kuangye, Han Kuangmei, okay! They are all close to me.
Han Kuangsi didn't come, right? It seemed like he was the only one who still had some conscience. "Shu Luping seemed to have known that this day would come for a long time, so he didn't panic at all.
Han Kuangmei chuckled, "The Holy Mother mistakenly blamed a certain brother. If he comes too, then who will trap Bali Yi? He is the person named by Emperor Shaoming to be killed."
Shu Luping's face suddenly changed color. Bali Yi, who had been dragged into the water, could be said to be her last support. Without Bali Yi, the 100,000 people here would soon collapse.
"The Erhan clan has gained great wealth and honor in our Great Khitan, and their lives are better than those of other clans. Today they betrayed and were so cruel, but they still have some conscience!"
Han Kuangmei sneered twice, "What does the Holy Mother think of the Khitan Kingdom? Do you think you are the Khitan Kingdom?"
A certain Han family received the salary of the Great Khitan, but he has also served the Great Khitan to this day.
Now that everything is exhausted, Our Lady still wants to drag everyone to be buried. I really don’t think we can see that you know that you will die, but you still want to use the lives of 100,000 people to drag Master Wang to Zaihe Yuerluo so that you can wait for a while. A heavy snowstorm caused them heavy losses, right? "
Originally Shuluping's words made some people feel a little guilty, but Han Kuangmei's words changed the concept very cleverly and separated the Khitan Kingdom from Shuluping.
Zhao Yanjing, who was behind Han Kuangmei, also jumped out and shouted: "In the past, when the ascended emperor passed away and you forced to kill hundreds of Khitan and Han officials, did you know that today would happen? If you want to be cruel, who can be more cruel than you to cut off your wrist!"
Zhao Yanjing was the son of Zhao Siwen, a famous Han general in the Liao Kingdom. He was somewhat distantly related to Zhao Kuangzan and could be regarded as Zhao Kuangzan's uncle.
He was originally frightened by Zhang Yan's execution of Zhao Yanshou, but now with Han Kuangmei as a bridge, Zhao Yanjing and other Han ministers immediately defected.
In fact, there were many Han ministers around Shulu Ping. They all thought that Zhang Yan wanted to kill all the Han ministers who had served the Khitan, so they had no choice but to follow Shu Luping.
When Zhao Yanjing said this, he immediately aroused the hatred of the same enemy. There was no way. In the past, Shuluping killed too many people in order to continue to hold power after the death of Yelu Abaoji.
Most of Yelu Abaoji's confidants were killed by her, and the Han officials who followed Abaoji suffered heavy casualties. Their descendants naturally resented Shuluping.
Originally, I thought that Zhang Zhou would not accept them, so they could only walk all the way to the dark side. Now that Han Kuangmei had walked out of the way, of course she refused to accompany Shu Luping to death.
"Why are you talking so much? Let's all come together. The Emperor will not live." Han Kuangye snorted coldly and took the lead to walk towards Shu Luping. The others immediately followed.
Shu Luping knew she was going to die, so she stopped struggling and watched indifferently as Han Kuangye and others used white silk to strangle her neck until her face turned purple. .
.
.
In the third year of the Shaoming Dynasty, AD 948, on the seventh day of the tenth month, the Khitan Kingdom's empress dowager Shu Luping was strangled to death by her most trusted relatives and ministers on the fishing bank.
At the same time, Han Kuangsi also led four chiefs of the eight enemy tribes to hack to death Bo Liyi and his three sons during the banquet, who Zhang Gao had declared not to spare.
At this point, the matter was finally resolved perfectly.
After Han Kuangsi, Han Kuangmei, Yelu Dijian, Xiao Siwen and the chiefs of Dilie tribe kowtowed to surrender, Zhang Gao issued an edict.
It was announced that all Han people who had served the Khitans would be pardoned for their crimes, and Han Kuangsi would be named Yutian Bo, Han Kuangmei would be Fenyi Bo, and all the others who surrendered would be rewarded.
On the eighth day of the tenth lunar month, Zhang Jian ordered monks from the Liufa Sect to hold large-scale rituals beside Yuerluo. Whether they were big or small chiefs or ordinary herdsmen who were willing to convert to the Liufa Sect, they could recite one of the four major sutras of the Liufa Sect in full. Anyone who has one will be released immediately.
Not only will they not be killed, but their original family property will be returned and they will be allowed to return to their hometown to graze. Anyone who does not comply will be driven away immediately.
The monks in the monastic community that Shu Luping had worked hard to establish and prepare to refute the teachings of the Six Dharma Sect also announced their collective conversion to the Six Dharma Sect, recognizing the supreme power of heaven to interpret Buddhism in the secular world.
For Zhang Yan, who aims to establish a Six Dharma religious area across the grassland, these more than a hundred monks are a very good help.
After all, the teaching monks of the Six Dharma Sect have to go to grasslands, plateaus, and even rivers, so the manpower is very insufficient.
These monks are familiar with the grassland conditions, and many of them are even people from the grassland tribes, so they can plug and play.
However, Zhang Yan was not prepared to use them immediately. What Zhang Yan considered was that the construction of Chengde Mansion had been basically completed.
He will convene a grand Dharma conference attended by all the grassland tribes in Chengde Mansion next spring to train these monks again.
Then, all the chiefs of the grassland tribes must be summoned and asked to worship him as Tengri Khan, also known as Tian Khan.
This is of extraordinary significance. Zhang Yan now worships Yinli Khan, but he is actually respected by the tribes in the north and south of Jinshan (Altai Mountain) to the west of Yanran Mountain.
The tribes on the east and west sides of Monan, Mobei and the Daxianbei Mountains did not participate at all.
This time, Zhang Yan planned to do it all at once, let all the grassland ministries jointly recommend him, and directly get the title of Khan of Heaven that Tang Taizong had received, and become a complete body.
.
.
The battle is over, but Zhang Yan's work has just begun.
He first summoned Yelu Dijian, Xiao Siwen, and Xiao Qian to appease the Khitan nobles who finally surrendered.
These three people can basically be regarded as civil servants, which is not surprising, because among the Khitan people, those who were a little more capable were either killed by the Zhou army, or they directly surrendered like Yelu Sizhong, and the rest must be Basically not much force value.
And it is precisely this kind of Khitan people that Zhang Gao needs.
Because Zhang Yan could not recruit so many qualified civil servants at once to station in the entire Andong Province.
But after Murong Nobunaga began to conquer Wang's Korea, he needed a large number of officials in Andong Province to provide him with logistical support.
In addition, the Wei, Jurchen and other tribes in the vast Northeast and Outer Northeast also need people to recruit and manage, so it is appropriate to appoint some Khitans as officials of the new dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Yan had a very good attitude towards these people. When Xiao Siwen pointed out that tens of thousands of Khitan and Xi people were brought to the Daxianbei Mountains by Shu Luping, but they actually still hoped to return to western and eastern Liaoning, Zhang Yan Zhang nodded in agreement.
He smiled and said to the three of them: "You also know that I have always hoped to be like Emperor Taizong Wen of the Great Dynasty, not only the emperor of the Central Plains, but also the emperor of the people in the grasslands and pine deserts.
As long as you Khitan people sincerely surrender, then it is only right to allow the wandering people to return to their hometowns.
Well, I can promise that after the Khitan, Xi people and other people of various ethnic groups return home, if the land has been distributed to the meritorious officials by the Liaoyang County Prince, then I can allow and let the government organize these people to reclaim the wasteland.
The imperial household department will also take the lead and work with banks to provide these people with interest-free loan subsidies, which can also be tax-free for three years, or taxes will not be levied until they repay the loan. "
Xiao Qian, Xiao Siwen and others prostrated themselves on the ground. They always liked to shed tears, but when Shu Luping despised Yelu Dichaan who did not look like a Khitan, they even burst into tears and kowtowed with a trembling voice.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of the hundred thousand people of all ethnic groups. As long as Your Majesty does not hold us accountable for our past sins, the Khitan people are willing to return to Han under Your Majesty's rule and remain Your Majesty's innocent sons forever."
Yelu dinian was also a good minister of herdsmen. He knew that in Liaodong and western Liaoning, what was lacking was not land but population and means of production.
Before the collapse of the Khitan Kingdom, the number of Khitan people was only 300,000 at most. Including the Han and Bohai people, there were only 700,000 to 800,000. The total number of Wei and Jurchens in the deep mountains and forests was probably less than 100,000.
This population can be regarded as extremely sparse in the vast land of eastern Liaoning, western Liaoning, and even the vast tracts of land to the east and north. Therefore, as long as there is support from the imperial court's production means and taxation policies, there is no shortage of land.
"Well said, I just need such an innocent man." Zhang Gao stretched out his hand and personally pulled up Yelu's chariot.
"There is no deep hatred between me and you, between Han and Khitan.
Your ancestors have been in contact with the great dynasties since the Northern Dynasties and Gao Qi. If it hadn't been for the Yan thieves who brought trouble to the country, we would have been one family long ago.
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Later Dynasty and Emperor Shengtian were brothers, and I was also a brother to Emperor Li, which is proof.
The fights in the past few years are really just the result of Emperor Li's desire to be filled. He has all the land in Liao, and he is not satisfied with Yanyun. He insists on entering the Central Plains to show off his evil, so I have no choice but to raise troops to attack.
Now Emperor Li and others have passed away, Shu Luping has also been conferred, the accounts of people's deaths have been cleared, and all the grudges have ended.
If the enemy chariot and De surrender, you can rest assured to serve the new dynasty, and you can also tell other Khitan, Xi and other people.
As long as we are no longer enemies of the Zhou Dynasty, you can come back with peace of mind. As I have said sincerely, I will never pursue the past matters again, and the imperial court will treat the Khitans and other tribes no differently than the Han people. "
What Zhang Yan said was sincere, and he really thought so.
Yelu Dijian, Xiao Siwen and others were extremely moved, and at the same time, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
As long as half of what Zhang Yan said can be implemented, the Khitan, Xi and other tribes can still survive.
At least they, the upper class, can still serve as officials in the new dynasty. They cannot be as high and mighty as before, but the small rich and small nobles are still guaranteed.
After sending away Yelu Di Nian, Xiao Siwen and others, Zhang Gao summoned all the chiefs of Di Lie's eight tribes.
But now there are no leaders of the eight tribes, because Bali Yi has been killed, another leader of one tribe was killed on the battlefield, and two more are missing, so only four of the eight leaders of the enemy lie are kneeling in front of Zhang Gao.
Zhang Hao doesn't have a good face towards these guys.
The reason why I wanted to comfort Yelv Diran, Xiao Siwen and others just now was because these people said they were barbarians outside the Great Wall, but in fact their way of thinking was no different from that of the Han people.
Yelv Dinian and Xiao Siwen were both intellectuals who read Confucian classics. Both of them had the unique characteristics of Han cultural people. They both had Chinese characters and could also write a few limericks.
Such people should be treated as Han officials under the rule of the Southern Tang and Southern Han Dynasties. That's why Zhang Gao was so kind to comfort them.
The other party could also understand that this was a favor, and knew how difficult it was for an emperor like Zhang Yan to make such a promise, so he would not regard this as Zhang Yan's weakness.
But if Zhang Gao said what he just said to real grassland chieftains like Dilie Babu, then although they feel that they are receiving preferential treatment now, when Zhang Gao leaves, they will immediately feel that Zhang Gao has something to ask of them. Had to do that.
When there is no pain from being beaten, the thought of self-reliance will come up involuntarily.
The so-called fear of power without virtue is roughly the same.
So when Zhang Yan saw them coming in, he scolded them fiercely, scolding them bloody from their beliefs to their character to their behavior.
At the same time, facing the current situation, Zhang Yan directly reduced the eight enemy armies to four.
The four divisions that were separated became the direct subordinates of Zhang Gao, and were temporarily handed over to the command of Ba Yegusi, who was the first to surrender. They were no longer called enemy soldiers, but were called Wuduqi's personal guards Qianhu.
Uduqi is a Turkic word, which means thigh or thigh bone. Using this word as the name of the tribe has a similar meaning to the Chinese word humerus and femoral minister.
The leaders of the Fourth Division of Dilie were silent for a moment. They realized that Zhang Yan wanted to create a split among the Eight Divisions of Dilie.
Well, it's not called splitting, but creating a group of people among the Eight Divisions of Enemy Lie.
It is conceivable that in the future, among the eight tribes that are basically a whole, the herdsmen of thousands of households under the guard of Uduqi will definitely be superior to the other four tribes. The richest pastures and the best rewards will belong to the guards of Uduqi. Thousands of households.
In a few years, these herdsmen who have benefited will no longer be Dilie people, but will become Uduqi people.
When the time comes, before the other four of them want to betray the Supreme Being, they may have to think carefully before they can defeat these Uduqi people who are loyal to the Supreme Being.
But even though they knew this was the result, they didn't dare to object. They were lucky enough to survive just now, so how could they dare to negotiate the price now.
Seeing that these guys couldn't bear it, Zhang Hao simply went one step further and required that all the leaders of the four enemy tribes who controlled more than 100 accounts must send their eldest son to Chengde Mansion to study Buddhism.
While studying, they must also be ordained and learn how to serve the Supreme God. After completing their studies, they can return to the grassland and inherit the family business, and they must inherit the family business.
This is also fatal, but the four leaders have already given in once, so they don't care about the second time.
Seeing that they agreed, Zhang Yan comforted them with Wen Yan, gave them some salt, sugar, tea and brocade silk, and asked them to go down and wait.
They could only return to their tribes after Zhang Gao ordered his people to divide the pastures, people, and livestock again.
At the same time, Zhang Hao glanced at the extremely well-behaved Gusi Gus in the distance. This guy was a little smart, but he was discriminated against by his father since he was a child and developed a pleaser personality.
With such a personality, he definitely cannot be the leader, but it is no problem to send him a supervisory army (monk officer) to temporarily help Zhang Zhi establish the Qianhu of Wuduqi's personal guards.
The key is that if he doesn't know what's interesting in the future, he will be easily replaced by Zhang Yan with this ability.
