Chapter 28

"What?“Do you want to start Khan?”Yang said with a studded: “The beginning of Khan?How is that possible?If we are in private contact with the beginning of Khan, the history of the imperial court will certainly be impeached!”

The right to diplomacy is a symbol of national sovereignty.Although Datang was established, it was not a country, and the town had no diplomatic power.Moreover, Chen should be just an ordinary general, as long as Li Yuan is a decree, he can only deal with the right.

Since knowing that this is not a matter for himself, Chen should be pragmatic and will not casually take these responsibilities on his own.As long as the problems of the court are involved, if they can not touch them, this is called political correctness.

However, Chen Ying is not a loser in the Lord.He thought about it and said, “The hat of the enemy country is too big, my head is too small to bear, but now we don’t have to rush, it should be the Turks who are in a hurry!”

“The beginning of Khan?”Yang asked doubtfully, “What is he in a hurry?”

"We have now taken their captives to thirty thousand, and if he does not ask, his heart will be scattered!"Chen Yingyin smiled: "As long as the human heart is scattered, the team will not be easy to bring!"We still have enough food to eat, so many horses we have seized, and there will be no shortage of food for three or five months.”

Yang nodded, “I heard that this beginning of Khan is not a generous Lord!”

“Wasn’t it the first Khan, Li Yuan?”Of course, Chen should only think about it, and absolutely cannot say it, otherwise it will be the evil of the door.Chen Ying said, “Actually, I was really afraid that he would pay to redeem these captives!”

“Afraid to be redeemed?”Yang was a little speechless to Chen at this time: “What is the use of these brutes?”

"What's the use?"It's very useful!"Chen Yingming asked inexplicablely, “Yang Changshi, how many people are there in the six counties of Lingzhou today?”

Yang said in silence: "At this time, Lingzhou six counties a total of 7414 households, a total of more than 18,000, more than 35,000."

Chen Ying asked again, “How many people were in Lingzhou in the previous period?”

Yang said, “In the past, there were 64,746 households, and more than 21 thousand and six thousand three hundred.”

“In just a few years, the population of Lingzhou has dropped by 80%!”Chen should sigh: "Nearly 180,000 people, where have all these people gone?"

This is a very esoteric question, Yang is actually clear, but dare not face the answer, because it is too taboo.However, Chen Ying said: "Mingzhou Huhan mixed residence, living in Lingzhou is not easy, some people fled back to the gate, some people died, more people, in fact, Hu to Han!"

Yang nodded, a similar phenomenon, he also found.

In fact, the problem that caused this situation is related to the main court authorities.At the end of the year, the Sui Dynasty was full of wolf smoke, and the court gradually lost control of the place.Inland state of the Central Plains, killing officials rebelled, or went into the mountains to hide.

But in Lingzhou, it is a plain, and it is still a border plain.The situation is far worse than inside.The court's deterrence is weakening, and the Hu people take advantage of the chaos, rushing into the state and hitting the capital, killing more and more evil, and doing nothing evil.

Most of the Han people living in Lingzhou are lower-level people, and they lack strong mountains.When the court could not protect them, in order to survive, they could only become their slave laborers by the surrounding Human tribe.Of course, to say Huhua, in fact, can not say that Huhua is Huhua, but after a long time, it will be a long time to come true.

Chen Ying said: "The Lingzhou is the territory of Huaxia since ancient times, and it should not be lost, otherwise it is worthy of the ancestors, but if you want to hold Lingzhou, there is no population!"

“The manager wants it?”Yang is a little aware of Chen Ying's meaning: "The manager is to turn Hu into Han?"

“Not so!”Chen Ying shook his head and said, "We Chinese people are the most advantageous people in the world, whether it is desert, Gobi or grassland, as long as there is land, you can take root and survive."Lingzhou fertile soil thousands of miles, irrigation is convenient, if the wilderness, you can cultivate hundreds of thousands of good fields.Only the fields are in hand, and the people in the mainland do not move to Lingzhou.As long as there is food, someone, what is terrible about the Turks in the district?”

Yang said bitterly, “But at this moment, this weather cannot be reclamation!”

"Of course, it is not so urgent, what we need to do now is to destroy the scattered soldiers around Lingzhou and restore order!"Chen Ying said, “When the spring of the next year, we will use these captives to reclamation.”

Since the city of Lingzhou was surrounded, the decree could not be released from Lingzhou City.Not to mention the six counties of Lingzhou under the jurisdiction of Reci, Hongqing, Huaiyuan, Lingwu, Mingsha and Feng'an.

Now Huaiyuan has become the king's tent station, not to mention Chen Ying's hands only more than 4,000 troops, even if he is given 40,000 soldiers and horses, he has no ability to recover Huaiyuan.

It is said that Chen should only be the head of the marching army, not the general management of Lingzhou, the place of payment, the restoration of public security, which is the responsibility of the Lingzhou general management.However, Chen Ying did not want to return to Changan City for the time being.For Chen Ying, the real gun from the Turks is far more difficult to prevent than the dark arrows from Changan City.

Although Lingzhou Governor Guo and due to injury can not be regarded, Yang is in the position to exercise the power of Lingzhou General.He had no soldiers in his hands, and he was powerless against the scattered Turkic溃s, or local bandits.

The burden of paying the Turkic scattered soldiers is not light, and the strength in Chen Ying's hands is too small.Fortunately, due to the encirclement of Lingzhou, the real break, no Turkic troops were found around Lingzhou, and the Turks were captured, and the people of Lingzhou also cheered.

By the end of the night, the whole state did not mean to settle down at all.Firecrackers are ringing from time to time throughout the city, and the firecrackers of this era are not the form of future generations.Instead, the bamboo sawing, the middle is tucked into the nitrate, and thrown into the fire to burn, which will make a hush sound.

Until this time, Chen Ying remembered that today was actually the last day of the first year of Wude.Wearing armor, Chen should visit the barracks with Liang Zhan, at this time, whether it is a soldier or a prisoner, the human heart is quite stable.

From the battlefield seized from the wounded soldiers or dead horses, Chen should divide the horse meat, Lingzhou ordinary people each ten pounds, because the guarding Lingzhou injured 20 pounds, those who died in the city guard war home, will be divided into two sheep.

There is no way, the seizure on the battlefield, Chen should not be alone, must be handed over to the court's military department of the professional staff to investigate military skills, so within the authority, move a little hand and foot is still possible.

At this time, the lights of Lingzhou were bright, and Chen should look at the people in the city with great interest.Looking at the happy smile on the faces of the soldiers and civilians, Chen should have a sense of accomplishment.

However, in Chen Ying went to a door of the street, the lights were all there, and it was unusually conspicuous in the time of celebrating the city.Suddenly, Chen Ying also heard choking in the house.

“Has the government embezzled the horse meat he had given him?”This family has no wood to burn, no meat to eat?”

Chen, who was a man of the two worlds, should hate corrupt officials very much, and in his previous life he was unemployed and helpless.At this time, he can take Li to build the sword of Shang Fang, which he invited to him, if it is really official corruption, he does not mind letting this New Year's Eve night appear some bloody.

“Call the door!”

Before he waited for Ryazan to call the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and in the hall floor sat an old man with a rags, and the old man's ravine was on his face, because he was bored, more like a piece of dead bark.

Chen should leaned over and asked, “Dare to ask the old man, Lingzhou is not a horse meat, why do you still worry at home?”
