Forty-four, the country is destroyed

After going out for a game, Xiaoyao's three elders were killed and captured, and Qiao Ning was quite satisfied with this action.

He also wanted to completely solve the matter of the Xiaoyao Sect and patiently do his own business. Now the three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect have been solved. Su Xinghe and his disciples were abducted and trafficked with their master Wuyazi. The old monster Ding Chunqiu of Xingcheng was also killed. The Xiaoyao Sect can be said to be no longer in the world.

Now all the classics of the Xiaoyao Sect have been incorporated into the Qiao family's martial arts genealogy to Qiao Ning. In the future, there will be only the Qiao family's innate sect, and there will be no original innate sect and Xiaoyao Sect anymore.

As for the Sweeping Monk, he is already seventy-year-old and eighty years old, and he will return to heaven sooner or later. The Sweeping Monk is not a secular person and will not pay attention to the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect. In the future, the Sweeping Monk will be the last one, so there is no need to worry about it.

After Qiao Ning got the Tianshan Tonglao, he summoned civil servants nearby and transported away all kinds of rare things saved by Lingjiu Palace over the years and the 72 island masters and the 36 cave masters. He left only a few disciples of Lingjiu Palace. He guarded the Lingjiu Palace, and more than 99% of the disciples of him were wrapped around him, left Piaomiao Peak, and headed straight for the territory of the Qiao Dynasty.

With the disciples of the Beggars' Sect all the way, although the Lingjiu Palace has a large population and carries many salutes, it still passes through the Song Dynasty and returns to Huanglong Mansion in peace.

When he returned to Huanglong Mansion, Qiao Ning honestly and unceremoniously married the female disciples of Lingjiu Palace, regardless of age, and were married one by one. If these women gathered together, they would always have something to do. But if they were married, many so-called hurt women, as long as they lived a good life, would forget what happened before and would only pay more attention to the current family.

After solving the matter of the Xiaoyao Sect, Qiao Ning had no worries. He began to send hundreds of teams with strong martial arts to repeatedly plunder the population at the junction of Liao and Song dynasties, and then talked about the naturalization of these plundered populations with Huanglong Mansion as the center.

The land of Liaodong is extremely rich. Although it is a little bitter and cold, there are large areas of land that can be cultivated, but the population is too small. It was not developed until the late Qing Dynasty. It was still after the Republic of China that it relied on the population that moved in to slowly planted large areas of food.

Qiao Ning naturally knew this, so he did not hesitate to give land to the relocated farmers for free.

Qiao Ning also knew that land annexation was extremely serious in all dynasties, so he changed his strategy and divided the land into fertile land and household land, which was only used to build houses.

Households can be traded at will, and the Qiao Dynasty did not prohibit it. However, every transaction, a very small amount of fees must be charged to fill the treasury.

Moreover, all the fertile land is nationalized. Any young man who is willing to farm can obtain about twenty to forty acres of world and land. The fertility and barrenness of the field can increase or decrease the area.

These fields are only cultivated by these young and strong men. In the future, they cannot cultivate them, so they will be reclaimed and cannot be passed on to their descendants. After they are reclaimed, these fields will be distributed to other young and strong men.

These people earn enough to support a well-off family by farming land. The more food they pay, the more benefits they will have. In the years of famine, there are also ways to reduce taxes and food, with rewards and punishments.

This is why Qiao Ning did this. The land in Liaodong is bitter and cold, and there are very few farming people, so the land is large and barren. Qiao Ning will be owned by the Qiao Dynasty, so there will be no resistance. After all, the original Jurchens and others only knew how to fish and hunt, and although they also had farming, they did not think they were the main business.

If he had advocated this method in the Central Plains, the method of taking all the land into the Qiao Dynasty would have long aroused the anger of the heavens and the people, and was strongly resisted by those who had a large amount of fertile land.

After just two or three years of Qiao Ning's implementation of this method, the Qiao Dynasty's grain harvest was repeatedly achieved. In addition, Qiao Ning encouraged merchants, so the wealthy Qiao family in Liaodong had gradually caught up with the Liao Kingdom. Although it was not as good as the Song Dynasty, it was no longer a bitter and cold place.

While attacking the border and working hard on internal affairs, the Liao Kingdom had already declined its national strength and gradually could not resist the offensive of the Qiao Dynasty. It had lost a large area of ​​land for several years. Seeing that Zhongjing Road, Nanjing Road and Xijing Road were both occupied by the Qiao Dynasty, but there was no way.

Qiao Ning was not interested in launching a war and always adopted the tactic of erosion, but the effect was quite significant. Before he knew it, the nobles and royal families of the Liao Kingdom retreated to the northwest, and were suddenly forced by Qiao Ning, their strength shrank, and their territory no longer bordered the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the Qiao Dynasty annexed a large area of ​​territory of the Liao Kingdom, and it bordered the Western Xia, the Great Liao and the Song dynasties, surrounded by enemies on three sides. Tubo was blocked by the Western Xia, but it was not very helpful.

What's more, Qiao Ning didn't dare to trust the people in Tubo. Jiumozhi was not a good man and a woman. This person was quite ambitious. The Tubo king was spoiled by him and started a war with Xixia several times, which also benefited a lot.

Qiao Ning forced the Liao Kingdom to such an extent that he refused to continue fighting with the Liao Kingdom again. At this time, the Liao Kingdom had a strong strength. Although he had concessions, his national strength was not lost too much, and there were still hundreds of thousands of troops.

Especially the territory of Shangjing Road was vast and there was a lot of room for maneuver. If the Liao Kingdom had been determined to avoid the war, Qiao Ning would not be able to defeat the Liao Kingdom without spending more than ten years. In real history, after the Jin Dynasty destroyed Liao and attacked Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom also had a strong man named Yelu Dashi who established the Western Liao Dynasty and existed for a long time. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty rose.

So after Qiao Ning occupied enough land, he planned to attack Xixia. At this time, Xixia was already extremely weak and its national strength was no longer the same as before. Especially Xixia was originally a barren land and its domestic population was thin. After years of war, it was even more powerful than the decline of the Song Dynasty.

Although the Western Xia was destroyed and Tubo was faced with the Tubo, the national strength of Tubo was not strong at this time. After all, the biggest shortcoming of the countries in the Western Regions was that they were vast and sparsely populated, and they produced too few. Although they could gather elite soldiers and generals, they did not have enough national strength to support them in a major war of attrition.

Especially the countries in the Western Regions are composed of dozens of ethnic tribes, and they are separated from each other. Once the Western Xia is at a disadvantage, these tribes will be ready to move and will no longer want to be suppressed by the Western Xia.

Qiao Ning has many confidences. If a war is made, it can drag down the national strength of Tubo.

So Qiao Ning suddenly launched a large army and broke into the territory of Xixia, almost beyond everyone's expectations.
