In the past half a decade, Daxia, from Xiye City in the south to Jihai City in the north, as long as it is a city within the territory of Daxia, no matter how big or small, has been expanding crazily and strengthening city defenses. Many nobles in Daxia believe that the country is mainly nomadic.

, building cities was purely a waste of people and money, so there were widespread complaints, but Shanyu Mo Di ignored all the objections and insisted on expanding the scope of these cities, and threatened to catch up with the city size of Dashang.

At the same time, Modi Shanyu was preparing to proclaim himself emperor, and sent an envoy to submit his credentials to Dashang, asking the Dashang court to officially recognize the Shanyu of Great Xia as the emperor of the Northern Kingdom, and to be on an equal footing with the Dashang emperor.

Soon someone leaked the news, saying that this was the idea of ​​Zhang Dongyuan, a refugee who had escaped from Dashang. It was said that Zhang Dongyuan was now the mastermind of the Great Shanyu. Some nobles who hated Zhang Dongyuan to the core sent assassins to assassinate Zhang Dongyuan. Modi Shanyu

Yu had to strengthen the number of guards around Zhang Dongyuan. Finally, the angry Mo Di Shanyu took Zhang Dongyuan with him and used his own imperial guards to protect Zhang Dongyuan.

Modi Chanyu also promulgated new measures while expanding the city. All skilled talents, whether mining, iron smelting or textiles, as long as they can be used by Daxia, no matter which country they were from, will be promoted as an exception. If they come from

The slaves captured by the great merchants were cast off as slaves and became free.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Some slaves who were captured from Dashang had already lost their families. Now they are free and can not be discriminated against. They can even settle down and start a family in Daxia. They finally see hope in life. Another

Some slaves captured from Dashang hated themselves for not having any skills, but they soon had a surprise. As long as they contributed to the expansion of the city, they could also be exempted from slavery.

At the same time, Mondi Chanyu also promulgated measures to recruit people for farming. As long as they can open up wasteland and grow food for the royal court, they will be exempted from taxes for three years. Even some old, weak, sick and disabled people have joined the farming team. The Royal Court of Daxia

From then on, childbirth will be rewarded. The birth of a boy will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a dog. The birth of a girl will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a sheep. The reward for the birth of twins will be doubled. Parents will be exempted from taxes for one year...

The new-looking Daxia Kingdom soon had its own foundry bureau and was able to smelt iron ore on its own. Although the output was not high, at least it no longer had to rely entirely on the supplies of Dashang and several neighboring countries as in the past. In the past, the iron ore supply was

There are only two ways to obtain it, either by exchanging it or by robbing it.

As for the decrease in the royal court's economic income caused by tax reduction and exemption, they temporarily relied on cutting back on food and clothing to tide over the difficulties. However, Mo Di Shanyu had another plan in his heart.

After a period of time, Emperor Shang sent his envoys back to pay homage, presented his credentials, and recognized the Shanyu of Daxia as the emperor of the Northern Kingdom. Chanyu Modi was overjoyed. On the fifth day of the seventh month, Modi publicly offered sacrifices to the Holy God and claimed to be Emperor of Daxia.

The name is Yuancheng, Yuan is the first, sincerity is the truth.

All the Daxia nobles who opposed Mo Di Shanyu's proclaimed emperor were demoted, deposed, or killed. In the second month after the Emperor of Daxia came to the throne, he dispatched Helan King Qiu Yule, who was stationed in Helan City in Daxia.

He led 20,000 troops south and invaded Dashangbian County. After plundering Taoliang County, Qiu Yule led his troops back north. A total of two counties in Taoliang County were defeated, and a total of thousands of people were robbed. In the city

Food, grass, property, salt and iron were also looted.

A few days later, King Litu of Qiding City led 20,000 horses south, broke through the two counties of Yangguan County, and plundered more than 2,000 people. He also plundered a large amount of grain, grass, property, salt and iron and returned north...

Urgent documents flew like snow flakes to the yamen of Jiyuan County, Longting Road, and flew into the hands of Guo Chong, the envoy. Guo Chong was so angry that he slapped the case and cursed. In the past few days, tens of thousands of reinforcements have been sent to various counties.

However, facing the crazy Daxia cavalry, it was no more than a drop in the bucket. The Daxia people were now completely unreasonable.

Guo Chong stood in front of the Longting defense map, with a clouded face and a frown on his face. Except for the two cities of Fuli and Anping, all the border counties had been looted. There were smoke and fire everywhere, and the soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. There was news of the only victory.

But it came from Songbei County, which had been broken a few months ago. The new county governor and the captain cooperated and fought an extremely beautiful annihilation battle, wiping out more than a thousand men of King Fanlu of Daxia.

Guo Chong pointed to the direction of Daxia on the map with his scabbard and asked in great confusion: "What are these Daxia people going to do? In previous years, at this time, even if they came to rob, the maximum number would be thousands of people, and they would rob

They ran away from two counties. But is this crazy this year? The scale of 20,000 cavalry is already normal!"

Due to the extremely special geographical location of Longting Road, the governor has the right to mobilize all the troops in the road, and the county guard has the right to mobilize all the troops in the county, whether they are garrison troops or guest troops. However, the offensive posture of the Daxia people now is to attack

The scale is far from what it was in the past. Longting would probably have to gather half a Dao-sized force to win one of these battles, but these madmen from Daxia were looting everywhere and had no idea where they were going.

Based on the information obtained a while ago, Mo Di of Daxia first expanded the city, then proclaimed himself emperor, added a foundry bureau and a salt transportation bureau, and freed slaves with skills and slaves who could build cities. Reward farming.

weaving, rewarding fertility, etc.

Guo Chong frowned and thought hard, and then said after a while: "Does Daxia also want to follow the path of farming? But they are a nomadic country, so it makes no sense to do so!"

Behind Guo Chong, there was an extremely strong captain who said casually: "Master Guo, those beasts of Daxia cannot judge based on common sense. What do you want to do when you are greedy?

What about the Northern Emperor? I don’t know how many crops he can grow in his northern land!" Guo Chong glanced at the captain who was talking nonsense, but he didn't get angry.

This school captain's name is Hong Fanlong. He comes from Jiannan Road and was recommended by Tang Jiusheng, the son of the national teacher Tang Fulong. The recommendation letter said that although Hong Fanlong is not very smart in mind, he is obsessed with martial arts and is known as a martial arts fanatic.

Frankly, I asked Mr. Guo to include it. There was also a small note in the letter, saying that although this person was a disciple of Qi Wangsong from the Shen Dao Sect, he was not as treacherous as his master. I hope you will make good use of this person.

Therefore, after Hong Fanlong came to Jiyuan County to manage the Yamen, Guo Chong made an exception to keep him by his side and used him as the commander-in-chief of his bodyguard, responsible for Guo Chong's security work. Hong Fanlong was flattered, and he treated Guo Chong from then on.

He is devoted to the whole world, follows him when he comes in and out, and is loyal to him.

Maybe, as Hong Fanlong said, these Daxia people can't judge by common sense and really want to start learning farming? Guo Chong just had a brief thought and quickly turned his mind to the war. How to defend the border counties that were repeatedly harassed.

That's the real thing.

Guo Chong was meditating in front of the map. Meteor scouts rushed to the Yamen with urgent military information and reported to the lord that Murong Shizong, the rice dew king of Great Xia, was defeated by Emperor Mo Di of Great Xia after he was defeated in Songbei County and returned north.

He was arrested in an ambush and beheaded after being declared guilty. The tribe was also divided into three parts by Mo Di, one part for himself and the kings of the East and West Houses. It is said that Murong Shizong himself was extremely opposed to this Daxia reform.

As night fell, all the civil servants, generals, and staff gathered in the Imperial Envoy's Yamen. They analyzed the intelligence obtained from Daxia one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that Emperor Mo Di of Daxia wanted to use this robbery to rob the merchants.

The opportunity of the border counties weakened the strength of the kings who opposed him. Among the seven operations that came to plunder the border counties, only one of them belonged to the troops of Na Shiyu, the king of Xiyuan. The rest of the troops were opposed to the reform of Daxia.

Guo Chong, who breathed a sigh of relief, quickly drafted a memorial all night, explained to Emperor Yin Guang the situation of Longting Road and the abnormal movements of Daxia Kingdom, and requested reinforcements, grain and grass from the imperial court, and rushed them 800 miles to Yong'an City.

At this time, the most proud person in Daxia Kingdom was none other than Daxia Emperor Mo Di. Zhang Dongyuan's strategy greatly weakened the strength of several princes who opposed him, and even allowed him and the kings of the East and West to dismember King Fanlu.

Murong Shizong and Mo Di were satisfied. The reduced income caused by tax reduction and exemption could soon be recovered from the princes who opposed him, and more.

Emperor Mo Di of Great Xia, while having a drink with Zhang Dongyuan, conferred the title of Marquis on Zhang Dongyuan, an unprecedented god-given marquis. Mo Di always believed that Zhang Dongyuan was a holy god, and given him by God, he would surpass the ancestors of Great Xia.
