July 2nd year of Yuanyou (24).

Just after Chen Zheng passed, a huge team appeared on the horizon in front of Jinming Lake on the official road about fifty miles west of Bianjing City.

The rolling smoke and dust soared into the sky.

The merchant carriage that was originally walking slowly on the official road saw this situation and hurriedly avoided it.

Because, they all saw the Knights appearing in that team.

Hundreds of horses rode high-headed horses and stepped slowly on the smoke and dust on the official road.

They were wearing flags and holding guards of ceremonies.

Even if it is a farmer who doesn’t know anything, he should know that there are important officials from border counties returning to Beijing.

Wait until the team is approaching.

The merchants who were avoiding the road finally saw clearly the flags and the words on the ceremonial plaques that the knights were holding.

Everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and then couldn't help but chant it in a low voice.

"The junior doctor...the scholar of the Zizheng Palace...the guardian...the governor of Xihe Lanhui Road...the governor of the peace and comfort envoy..."

"Hiss!" The merchant who was concerned about state affairs exclaimed: "It was Xihe's strategic grandfather, Mr. Zhao, who had returned to the court!"

Everyone was amazed.

Last year, the Western thieves and Tubo troops invaded, and the beacon fires burned from Hedong to Xihe.

The borders of the Song Dynasty were in urgent need of thousands of miles away.

For a moment, the soldiers were in danger of fighting, and the city of Bianjing was even more panicked.

Even the Bianjing New News at that time published articles every day, claiming that the Western thief jumped into the clown and that the Tubo was vulnerable.

But everyone is still afraid and worried.

It’s not that they are afraid that the Western thieves and Tubo will fight to Bianjing - they don’t have the ability yet.

But I am afraid that the war will be delayed, the long-term war will be stalemate, and the court will increase taxes.

However, soon, everyone found that they seemed to be worried in vain.

Because, Bianjing New News seems to be right!

The Western thief was indeed a clown who jumped into the corner, and the Tubo was even more vulnerable.

The Tubo soldiers were already defeated and lost without much effort.

The war report sent back by Xihe even showed that the Tubo people were blocked on Longyang Gorge without even touching the side of Xihe Road.

As for the Western Pirates?

Although it seemed to be very aggressive, it didn't seem to be very hard to beat.

They attack everywhere and hit walls everywhere.

Whether it was Xihe, Fuyan, Huanqing, and Hedong, they were all defeated by the Song Dynasty's official army and beheaded thousands of them.

The court made a timely announcement, not levying taxes, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially those who do business.

After knowing these things, he immediately returned God and rewarded his wish at home.

no way!

If the government simply adds a little tax on small business transactions, it will cause their family to be destroyed.

So, when they saw that the person who returned to Beijing was the Gonggong from Xihe.

They all smiled subconsciously.

The blessing of entrusting the popular science of Bianjing. In today's Song Dynasty, as long as people who love reading newspapers, they will know more or less about the situation in the world and understand some principles of the country and the world.

Then, in a subtle way, he was brainwashed by the Bianjing New News.

This is also the wonderful use of news media.

Through article analysis and popular science introduction, we can distinguish [us] and [them] in the hearts of readers, and build and gather a common value.

This was undoubtedly a dimensional reduction attack in the Middle Ages.

The cases in the Mansion Realm that have just passed are the best examples.

The deep-rooted and seemingly invincible families that have been entrenched in the palace for decades or even hundreds of years have been uprooted one by one.

Throughout the process, they didn't even struggle.

The backers they used to do not even dare to take them, and they were all busy cutting them.

In addition to the pressure on the highest level.

The biggest reason is the torrent of public opinion created by the Bianjing New News and the Bianjing Yibao.

Under the influence of the torrent of public opinion, even the nobles and relatives of the foreigners unknowingly accepted the conclusions from the public opinion - the clerks in the government are already poisonous to the country and the country, and must be dug out!

The influence brought by this torrent of public opinion is invisible and intangible, but it is everywhere.

Just like now, when these merchants see the team on the official road, Zhao Er, who came back from Xihe.

Their subconscious association was not the kind of "master, what a big official in the past! I have to avoid it to avoid collision..."

The first thing that reminds them was - [It turned out to be Mr. Zhao from Xihe! Mr. Zhengliu played well last year!]

It is precisely because last year's war won beautifully.

So, they were not taxed!

This year, the court even exempted all taxes from prefectures and counties!

When everyone is doing business, they no longer worry about being exploited and extorted by the clerks!

So, not only were they not afraid, they looked at the team slowly walking on the official road.

Gradually, they found that the team was so large that it was beyond imagination.

Because more and more flags and plaques appeared in their sight.

Finally, what was presented to them was a huge team of thousands of cavalry and infantry.

Hundreds of flags and plaques are vast and dense.

This is a huge team composed of dozens of remote counties, horizontal troops, Beijing officials, and a large number of foreign officials and foreign generals.

At the same time, they also escorted a large number of tributes from various prefectures in Xihe, Tubo, and even from the Western Regions.

As this team approached Bianjing City.

The people, scholars, officials and gentry around Bianjing City were also attracted.

When this team reached Jin Mingchi.

Tens of thousands of people from Bianjing, with their families, came to both sides of the road. Countless children were held on their necks by their parents and looked at them curiously. This unprecedented team returned to Beijing.

...

Bang Biao, riding his horse, walked in the team surrounded by dozens of selected Tubo nobles.

His eyes glanced at the crowded crowd on both sides of the road.

"Everyone cheer up!" The son of Aligu scolded the people around him: "Raise your head and straighten your chest, don't let the Han uncle's people look down on us Tubo!"

National character is very important.

In particular, the Qingtang Tubo was still a loser in the identity of a defeated war.

This is even more important.

So, dozens of Tubo nobles from Qingtang City raised their heads and chests, and tried their best to show themselves.

Although, no one actually cared about them.

...

Not far from Bang Biao's team.

Wen Nezhiying, the future lord of Miaochuan City who also rode on the Qingtang good horse, also issued an order.

"Everyone raise your head and straighten your chest! Don't lose my face as the warrior Miaochuan!"

"In addition, take good care of me, I chose the BMW for the Grandmaster of the Han uncle's family! Don't lose it!"

Behind him, five tall horses covered with snow-white bodies were carefully taken care of by more than a dozen herd slaves.

These horses were carefully selected from more than a dozen tribes in Miaochuan.

It is a symbol of the Miaochuan Wen family, accelerating closer to the Central Plains.

It is also the Wen family's future ambition - following the example of the Mu Zheng brothers and joining the clan with a famous Han official.

In this way, in Tubo, they were the great leaders and natural nobles.

In the Han area, they were the clan of famous ministers and the family of scholars.
