Han Yi’s Northwest Plan and policy are actually just a few words, but it contains a lot of economic and political theories beyond the times. It is basically impossible for people today to understand this theory thoroughly. In fact, Lai Ji only sees one corner of it, but even this corner cannot be understood by a single faith.

Therefore, Pei Xingjian didn't understand it very well. Instead, he was very surprised. He didn't expect that this Wan Dajun came like this. How could this usually cunning and stingy businessman have so generously given so much money to support them? It's incredible.

But if you don’t understand, Pei Xingjian saw that Lai Ji, a casual official, could borrow so many troops, which means that his move was feasible.

Moreover, Pei Xingjian had no better way at the moment, so he no longer asked for help from various prefectures and prefectures according to Lai Ji's words, but turned his attention to the merchants. He began to talk to the merchants of the Great Protectorate, and sent many people to lobby merchants everywhere and asked them to pay for the Great Protectorate.

It was soon responded. The first response to Pei Xingjian was the Hu merchants, mainly Sogdians, namely Wu Kelie and others. They were the richest merchants in the northwest because they were born to sellers and used to do this. They had the genes of merchants in their bones. They were also the first to support Han Yi. You should know that the northwest region never suppressed business. They did not have the humble mentality of Central Plains merchants. Therefore, they thought it the most clearly. Basically, they did not hesitate. They took out a lot of money and grain to support Pei Xingjian. Sheaves of cattle and sheep rushed to the Protectorate Palace. If there is money, there will be people, and if there is food, there will be logistics.

You should know that Tubo not only attacked from one side, but also incited many old Turkish nobles. These old nobles missed the Turkic dynasty very much. They were unwilling to be ruled by the Tang Dynasty. They hoped to return to the golden age of Jie Li.

Tubo relies on slave owners to fight in wars. Tubo is a slave society. Their soldiers are all from slaves, and their generals are all slave owners.

So no matter who ruled the northwest on both sides, Han Yi's northwest plan would be wiped out and could not coexist because the merchants pursued capital, freedom, and equality. Under their rule, this was completely impossible. The Tang Dynasty was just out of reach and did not care about their little money, as long as they did not make trouble, so they gave them a lot of freedom. But freedom is far from being as free as a surrogate policy, but the surrogate policy is the freedom of the aristocratic, while Han Yi's northwest plan is the freedom of the people.

What’s even more terrible is that Tubo is all poor. If they take over here, they have to grab something. Merchants are the richest. Now that the government has no money, they must be stealing merchants.

If you don’t need this money now, it will be prepared for them in the future.

Originally, this was a war initiated by Lu Dongzan to expand his territory. In essence, it was a war between two countries. They both wanted to weaken the other side's power. This was actually the fundamental reason, and it was a game between countries.

But the situation is different after Pei Xingjian's publicity.

It evolved into a struggle between the bourgeoisie and the slave owners and the aristocratic class.

With the Sogdian Hu people, a large number of merchants began to pay, work, and support the Protectorate. Even the Han merchants who came here to do business no longer do business and donated all the goods they brought. Now that the war is in full swing here, everyone is going to fight. Whoever buys their things, or if they donate them, they are very likely to be robbed. Moreover, for them, the northwest is a large market. If this place is gone, who will sell the goods to in the future? If they donate, there is still a favor.

Not only that, in the concentration of rebellion such as Gongyue City, Geluo, and other rebellions, the people also began to resist. Naturally, they were all supported by merchants. There were also merchants in the local area. Of course, merchants stood with merchants, and many nobles had become merchants. For example, those chiefs had no choice but to agree at the beginning, but as they played, they found that their lives were more comfortable and they could buy anything. Therefore, they gradually thought they were merchants, and they were also on the side of merchants.

In the folk, the people in the northwest were originally very war-weary. They signed a ranch agreement with Han Yi to stop the war. Later, because of the Northwest Plan, their lives were getting better and better. Everyone was very satisfied with the current situation and never thought that Tubo would come to start a war again. Therefore, the local people also hated these people very much. Many people brought their own dry food and took the initiative to join the war. Since you don’t want us to live a good life, we won’t let you enjoy it. Let’s hurt each other.

As a result, the situation in the northwest began to change, because whether it was the nobles or the slave owners, they all oppressed people to fight, and merchants had no right to oppress who they were, they hired people with money, but every common people knew why they were fighting, they fought for themselves, not for others.

More and more businessmen joined in, and a steady stream of money and food were employed, and mercenaries came to the front line.

Pei Xingjian's hands ranged from 10,000 to 20,000 to 30,000, and finally he had an army of 70,000, which was not the case with mercenaries in various places who organized their own battles against the rebels.

These nomadic peoples, born warriors, and some merchants did not trust Pei Xingjian's ability very much, so they simply led their troops to fight because they had experience in fighting before.

As for logistics, Pei Xingjian himself didn’t know how much food and grass there was. Anyway, people sent food and grass here every day, and they were donated by Impermanently.

Pei Xingjian seemed to have returned to heaven from hell. He really didn't expect that Lai Ji's plan would have such great power. He just felt that he was in a dream, but even if he was dreaming, he would defeat Tubo in the dream, so he started to counterattack. Now he has so many troops in his hands and is still defending a yarn.

At this moment, the Tubo army could not hold on any longer. It was not that Pei Xingjian played some tricks, but that the Tang army is now stronger than them. Zan Siruo quickly asked for help from the country, his 50,000 troops now seem a little less.

What Pei Xingjian didn't expect was that the situation in the northwest also affected Tuyuhun.

Liangzhou is an important transit station, and merchants traveled continuously. The merchants here soon learned about the northwest, which reminded them that they believed that if Tuyuhun was occupied by Tubo, Liangzhou would be in danger, and many merchants had investments in Tuyuhun.

It just so happened that Zhao Chiman sent someone to ask for food.

The merchants in Liangzhou were infected by the merchants in the northwest and began to actively donate food. To calculate their investment in Liangzhou and Tuyuhun, this little money is considered a p.

There were too many supplies here in the northwest trade warehouse in Liangzhou, so a large amount of supplies began to pour into Tuyuhun, supporting Wang Fangyi and others, and beating him.

—————

Now there is a war of fire in the west, and the war has just begun, but the battlefield in the east has entered the end as Yuan Gaisuwen is killed by Dugu Wuyue.

After Dugu Wuyue transported Yeon Gasuwen's body back to Pyongyang, Han Yi immediately showed Yeon Gasuwen's body. He mainly wanted to tell the people who were opposing Yeon Gasuwen and go to oppose it as much as possible. Yeon Gasuwen is really dead. Look, the bodies are all here, and you don't need to worry that Yeon Gasuwen will take revenge on you again.

As expected, when the people saw Yeon Gaisuwen's body, the rehabilitation movement immediately expanded to the surrounding cities. Han Yi also expanded the scale of the rehabilitation situation and transferred all the people who were once persecuted by Yeon Gaisuwen to the rehabilitation situation, and wanted to make a great effort.

On a hill north of Pyongyang, hundreds of people were digging something with hoes on it, and from a distance they looked like ants.

There were many carriages parked at the foot of the mountain, and the carriages were loaded with food or weapons, but carriages of white corpses.

It turned out that this hill was a mass grave, a place specially used to throw away the bodies of the Sui people. On the southeast of this hill, there was originally a village, but it was actually from a concentration camp. When Emperor Yang of Sui fought against Goguryeo three times, many soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were captured by Goguryeo. Goguryeo treated these people as slaves and specialized in cutting the mountains and clearing the way. When they died, they threw them here. This was very miserable. This is why the Tang army later massacred many people when they attacked Goguryeo, because in the eyes of the Tang people, they inherited the Sui Dynasty, and the two dynasties were in line with each other. This hatred should naturally be inherited.

"Xiao Wuyue finally got what she wanted."

Yuanjiu looked at the hill from afar, smiled and nodded.

Dugu Wuyue's biggest wish in his life was to send the Central Plains children captured by Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty back to their hometown, even if it was a pile of white bones. This is because in the early Tang Dynasty, many stories were circulating in Guanzhong, telling the story of some people in the Central Plains who saw many Sui Dynasty prisoners looking at the Central Plains, silently shed tears, and many Sui Dynasty prisoners who saw people passing by this place would watch them cry.

Dugu Wuyue is actually a bit nationalistic. When he was in Guanzhong, he never bullied the weak and cherished the glory of the Dugu family very much. In addition, he has a prosperous beauty, and the people of Guanzhong like him very much. But for outsiders, he is very cruel. Not to mention that he wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese troops, the plan to burn Pyongyang was proposed by him, but he originally planned to burn all the people in the city to death, rather than scare them. However, because of his limited technology, he failed to succeed.

This nationalism prompted him to have this wish.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Pyongyang, he explored everywhere where the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were buried. Now the people who work on the hills have all had relatives dead here.

Han Yi sighed: "I hope this hatred can end here."

Yuanjiu laughed a few times when he heard this.

Han Yi said: "What are you laughing at?"

Yuanjiu said: "Do you think the Goguryeo killed them?"

Han Yi said in surprise: "Or who do you think killed them?"

Yuanjiu blinked and said, "Goguryeo."

Han Yi couldn't help but smile.

Just then, Li Jingye suddenly ran over and gasped slightly, "Vice Dean, those businessmen have arrived."
