Chapter 46 Domineering Village Chief
The dignified emperor who is fighting against the Supreme Emperor of Nine Five, snatches his beloved beauty and kills the four-sided chieftains in a row but is still safe and sound. In the eyes of most people, Ye Xiaotian is definitely a big winner in life, but Xia Yingying does not belong to most people.
In her opinion, all the benefits and victories that Ye Xiaotian has obtained are all right and natural. Even if he suffers a little loss, it is unfair to heaven. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian did not tell her the result of his treatment, so as not to be angry and cause any trouble. The current result is the best ending for him.
Ye Xiaotian was demoted to the official, from Chief Woniu to the lowest among the fourth-class officials in Tuzhou. The official was an official of the ninth rank and could also be hereditary. In fact, it was a bit like a village chief or village chief in a remote mountainous area, but was just a village chief or village chief who officially recognized his identity.
However, for Ye Xiaotian, the territory and troops he actually controlled had not changed, so it didn't matter what official he called. The Tian family was still Xuanwei envoy. His status in "No" and "Wrong" was far above the magistrate. When his strength was not as strong as others, would he be overtaken by others?
Where local officials rule, fists are the hard truth. As long as his fists are hard enough, even if he is just a small official, he can still stand tall in front of heroes from all sides.
After the Ye Xiaotian case was settled, the third lady set off and returned to the grassland. As the de facto queen of the grassland, she could not spend a long time in the Central Plains, especially the open and secret struggles between the grassland tribes were even more serious than the Central Plains. Her status was far less stable than that of the Emperor of Ming to the Empire, and she could not leave the center for a long time.
Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying were sent to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion. One was in the south and the other was in the north, and their identities were special. After this separation, it would be normal that we would never have the chance to meet again in our lives. This separation is like a separation forever. Thinking of this, Yingying couldn't help but burst into tears. Although the third lady is a hero among women, her mind and courage are not enough to make her bearded. Seeing Yingying's appearance, tears could not help but burst into tears in her eyes.
While saying goodbye to this house, Qiao Hanwen, Yan Yifei, Dang Tenghui, Yu Wuguo and others were all gathered together, summarizing the gains and losses of this battle.
Qiao Hanwen said jokingly: "The censors and censors are certainly indispensable to the eyes and ears of the country, but now they only know how to sit and discuss the Tao. It is really useless to ban the Qing dynasty for the country and the people. They are frustrated this time and can suppress their arrogance, which is not a bad thing.
As for the cabinet, the officials are too round, especially the chief assistant, the two ends of the rat, which are very despicable. The emperor hates the noise of the censors and deliberately favors them. The censors will definitely not give up. In the future, the chief assistant will be the target of public criticism!"
Qiao Hanwen's words were so sharp that the bystanders were clear. He looked very accurate. It won't take long for the Prime Minister Shen Shixing to impeach him from time to time because he was targeted by the censors, which made Shen Shixing exhausted from dealing with it. If this continues, sooner or later the censors will seize the handle and punish him to death. He might as well retreat bravely and return home.
Dang Tenghui smiled and said, "That's wrong with those who follow the old and keep the corpse and eat. Even if you remove them all, what's wrong? I'm a little discouraged by the dispute between the cabinet and the Tao. After this battle, my strength will definitely be restrained. This is so good!"
Civil officials in the Ming Dynasty regarded Neo-Confucianism as a god, "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires". Their piety and fanaticism were similar to those of the missionaries in medieval Europe. Except for the Four Books and Five Classics, they despise all knowledge, and except for the imperial examinations, they despise all talents.
For the emperor, their ideal emperor is just a symbol and spiritual leader of the regime. When their civil servants are inseparable from the strife, they can occasionally play the role of the arbitrator. What they need is a "wise ruler" who governs with mercy and inaction.
Although they would praise and commemorate the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Emperor, Song Emperor, but they would never want their emperor to become such a ruler. They did not like the talented and stubborn emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and the Ming Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was unconventional and adventurous emperors also did not like it.
That is why Dang Tenghui smiled and said, "The emperor was discouraged and his sharpness was restrained." It was not that he was ruthless, but that in his opinion, this was the true intention of the emperor. From then on, the emperor could govern without doing anything, which was their good intentions that had been effective.
Yu Wujiao said: "Ye Xiaotian is going to return to Guizhou soon. We have worked hard to help him in rescuing him. I hope he will not let us down. This will help Ye Futai."
Minister of War Qiao Hanwen stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and slowly said: "My thoughts have changed!"
Qiao Hanwen was like the leader of the Eagle Party. When he said this, everyone's eyes suddenly looked at him, and Yu Wujiao said, "I wonder what Mr. Qiao has?"
Qiao Hanwen said: "Ye Xiaotian dares to resist the power of the emperor, and his rebellious nature can be seen. Such a person is difficult to control. No one, if he causes a disaster, he may backfire and put Ye Longtan in a passive state."
Lin Siyan said thoughtfully: "But if you want him to cooperate with us, you cannot keep him in the dark. Is the meaning of Lord Shangshu, that is, should we tell him our intentions honestly and get his cooperation?"
Qiao Hanwen smiled slightly and said, "He is a hereditary local official and it is impossible to reach a consensus with us. How can he tell him the truth? However, it is not bad to tell him half of it. In this way, it may be possible to echo each other and avoid any loss of control."
Yan Yifei nodded and said, "What Mr. Qiao said is very much. We might as well disclose the court's intention to deal with Yang Yinglong in Bozhou. Anyway, after Ye Longtan is ready, he will see the court's intentions clearly. This son is not a person who is inferior. Now he has offended most local officials and angered the emperor. He looks vast and has no help except us. I believe he will not refuse."
Everyone nodded and said yes. Lin Siyan happily said: "Lin and Ye Xiaotian had met several times and were quite a bit of a friendship. Let me do this."

When Ye Xiaotian was furious, the situation in Tongren and Shiqian was also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
After Tian Miaowen punished Ye Xiaoan and shocked Ye Xiaotian's complicated subordinates, he immediately went to Yujiazhai to visit Yu Junting. No one knew what these two smart women were discussing, but after Tian Miaowen left Yujiazhai, Yu Junting immediately returned to Tongren Mansion.
Not long after, the Yu family's soldiers were secretly dispatched by her to the vicinity of Tongren City. Zhang Yuhan had already torn apart with Ye Xiaotian, so he had already taken some precautions and the sneak attack could not be successful. But Yu Junting did not use any conspiracy this time. After she expelled Yu Puman and Yu Jiahai, the two rebellious uncles, the Yu family had been unified. She no longer had to endure everything and deal with her wisdom everywhere.
Yu Junting set up a dignified army and launched an attack on the Zhang family. When the two sides were in full swing, Tian Miaowen's troops left Woniu Mountain and rushed to Tongren City with lightning speed. She stabbed Zhang Yuhan in the back. The Zhang family was immediately defeated and Zhang Yuhan himself was defeated and left Zhanjiabao. A "exiled government" was organized in the Zhan family.
On the battlefield of Woniu Mountain, there were the Zhan family and the Cao family, and the unrestful Yang family. It was impossible to draw troops to deal with the Zhang family, but because it was impossible, her adventure was a great success. When the Zhan family and the Cao family found that the inside of Woniu Mountain was empty and wanted to launch a large number of troops to capture the Mercury Mountain and Laoji Valley, and directly attack Woniu Ridge, Tian Miaowen had already rushed back to the court, and the fleeting fighter opportunity was no longer there.
At this point, Ye Xiaotian unified the Tongren Mansion. Apart from the Ye Sect, Tongren has no other powerful voice to compete with. The Zhang family, who dominated Tongren for nearly five hundred years, now only a few direct descendants are left hiding in the Zhan family and surviving.
However, although the Cao Zhan coalition failed to seize the fighter plane to capture Ye Xiaotian's nest, it was not completely fruitless. Although they did not gain any advantage on the front battlefield, they succeeded in instigating rebellion and disagreement.
The Yang family of Shiqian had to surrender to Ye Xiaotian by force. After Ye Xiaotian was escorted to the capital, the remaining young and old members of the Yang family were ready to move.
The Tian family has detected information in this regard, and Tian Miaowen also sent someone to remind the Gedogman to be careful. However, the old village leader was not the opponent of these people from outside the mountain. After reducing his vigilance, the Yang family suddenly launched an attack and attacked him with a dead soldier, seriously injured him. While the Gedogman was seriously injured and the leaderless, the clan fled to Zhanjiabao.
At this time, Tian Miaowen had just solved the Tongren Zhang family and led her army back and defeated the Cao Zhan coalition with the sharp victory. However, due to the long journey, she was exhausted and unable to go further, and regained the Yang family's troops who moved westward. She watched the Cao Zhan coalition protect the Yang family and successfully retreated to Zhanjiabao.
The Gdoule was sent back to Woniu Mountain to recuperate. Who will guard Yangjiabao? Ye Xiaotian's subordinates were too few generals who could stand alone at this time. People from all over the world admired their fame and were interested in coming to join him. Because Ye Xiaotian was still in a state of good fortune and misfortune in the capital, he was still in a wait-and-see state. Tian Miaowen was in a tight position and had to send Yu Puman and Yu Jiahai to guard Yangjiabao.
Although Yangjia Fort has become an empty city at this moment, the terrain here is very important. If you defend it, the Cao Zhan coalition will not be able to attack Mercury Mountain and Laoji Valley before capturing Yangjia Fort. Once a counterattack is counterattack in the future, Yangjia Fort can also become a bridgehead for Woniuling to take the initiative to attack.
Of course, at present, no matter whether it is strength or morale or morale, Woniushan is allowed to launch a counterattack. What Tian Miaowen does is to make every effort to stabilize the internal situation and create conditions for counterattack. All preparations are set for Ye Xiaotian. Just wait for him to return safely, and the storm will rise again with a command.
To stabilize the internal situation, eliminating the Zhang family's major concern is only the first step. It also requires sufficient food, fodder and supplies to support a protracted war. Woniuling has just been established, and the tribesmen all moved out of the mountains. The reserves in this regard are far less than those in the Tu tribe outside the mountain, and food, fodder and supplies are more important.
The other local officials in Tongren should just bend their heads and they can't expect them to send troops to help or contribute money and food. Fortunately, the Gu Cult has accumulated a thousand years of savings and has mastered a gold mine. Money is not a problem. All they need is to turn this money into food, armor, weapons and medicinal materials.
But... Sometimes, if you want to spend money, you can spend it as much as you want. In addition to food and medicinal materials, all the things they want to buy are prohibited by the court. At this time, the tycoon played a role. All armor, arrows, and weapons needed depended on him to buy them at high prices from some secret channels and then transport them back to Woniu Mountain.
In this way, Huxian, the only passage in and out of Guizhou, also played a big role. Ye Xiaotian's previous painstaking management of Huxian came in handy. Now, Huxian County Magistrate Bai Hong is afraid of Ye Xiaotian and is like a tiger, so he will never dare to make things difficult for him. With Li Yuncong, Zhou Bantou and others, Luo Ligao is responsible for the transportation. Everything goes very smoothly, and a large amount of military supplies are continuously transported to Woniu Mountain. But who knew that after several consecutive successful purchases and transportation, a major accident suddenly occurred.
At the beginning, the tycoon only bought a small amount. After he was proficient in operation, he increased his purchasing efforts and purchased military supplies that were enough to support the Woniushan soldiers and horses in a row for two months. The money spent on this material was a huge expenditure for the Gu Cult, which owned a gold mine. But who knew that such a huge military supplies suddenly disappeared.
