Zhang Yichao's actions had a great impact.

In the military, after Zhang Yichao's uprising, he used Guazhou and Shazhou as his bases to conduct external conquests and expand his achievements. He successively recovered Guazhou, Yi, Xi, Gan, Su, Lan, Shan, He, Min, Kuo and other states. Consolidate the rule of the Guiyi Army over Hexi

《"Zhang Yi Chao Bian Wen" directly records three battles from the tenth year of Dazhong to the eleventh year of Dazhong: Tuyuhun invaded Shazhou. Zhang Yichao sent troops to attack and encountered Tuyuhun in Xitong. Zhang Yichao defeated the enemy in the first battle, led his army to pursue the victory for more than a thousand miles, and won a complete victory; the

Uyghurs and Tubos who accepted the post plundered Yizhou, Zhang Yichao rushed to attack, and the Uighurs were defeated; the rebel Uighurs robbed the Tang Dynasty and appointed Wang Duanzhang as the Uighur envoy. Zhang Yichao was furious when he heard this. Since the following text is incomplete, I don’t know how it ends.

It can be said that Zhang Yichao is still engaged in a very arduous struggle in order to resist the harassment and plunder of the surrounding ethnic minority rulers.

《It is said in"Zhang Yi Chao Bian Wen" that he"went to court to feed his horses, train his troops every day to prepare for the fierce slaves, and never had a moment of leisure", which is a true reflection of the actual situation at that time.

The same is true now.

During the Zhang Yichao War, he led the army to fight bravely.

They also organized local people to train with the army in their free time.

When the war came, Zhang Yichao led these people and swarmed over.

Zhang Yichao led the army on thirty-two expeditions.

Among them, there were twenty-four victories.

Four draws.

Defeated four times.

Zhang Yichao was defeated once by Pan Mei.

Defeated once at the hands of Fu Youde.

The remaining two times were defeated by Zhe Keshi.

Among them, it was the worst at the hands of Pan Mei.

Losing troops and losing generals.

But in Zheke's hands, he didn't lose much.

This time Zhang Yichao led his army to the expedition with the intention of defeating Di Qing.

In addition, Zhang Yichao also has a deputy general - Hou Junji.

After Hou Junji was invited out of the mountain by Wang Junke.

He then served as the commander-in-chief of an army.

But before Hou Junji could adapt, Yue Fei led an army to support him.

An attack was launched towards where Hou Junji was.

Hou Junji's army suffered heavy losses.

But Hou Junji disappeared.

Yue Fei sent people to look for Hou Junji, but found nothing.

Hou Junji saw that there was nothing he could do and went directly to Zhongzhou.

He wants to avenge Wang Junke.

Before Hou Junji arrived in Zhongzhou, he received the news that Wang Junke had been killed in battle.

This time, Hou Junji completely hated Yun Guo.

······

Zhang Yichao didn't know Hou Junji's identity, but Zhang Yichao's monarch did.

He knew that Hou Junji's identity was unusual.

Therefore, Hou Junji was sent as Zhang Yichao's deputy.

Help Zhang Yichao make plans.

In marching and fighting, Hou Junji's ability was no worse than Zhang Yichao's.

So when the two people were communicating, Zhang Yichao was amazed by Hou Junji's military thoughts and opinions, and he finally understood why the monarch sent this person to be his deputy.

This man's talent is truly unparalleled.

The two become partners.

One wants to expand the territory and drive away the Yun people.

One wants revenge and clears his own shame.

Both people have their own purposes.

They have their own common enemy.

So fighting against the Yun people is quite exciting.

Di Qing also had a headache when fighting against him.

It's really a perfect collaboration between two people.

It caused him a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, Di Qing is not simple either. He is steady and steady, not greedy, and just supports him.

The person who should be anxious now should be the other party

······

In addition to his achievements in politics and military affairs, Zhang Yichao is also a good player in other aspects.

In agriculture, while defending Hexi with force, Zhang Yichao set about restoring agricultural production, paying attention to the construction of water conservancy projects and the development of irrigation.

Various water conservancy facilities that had been abandoned during the Tubo period were also put into operation again. Zhang Yichao dug ditches in the Hexi states. Each ditch was also equipped with full-time water conservancy management personnel such as"canal head" and"shengmen".

Due to the construction of water conservancy and irrigation, the development of agricultural production has been promoted, and the scene of abundant grains has appeared.

People at that time praised and said:"The three lights came and shone brightly yesterday, and the six counties were all like the time of Yao. The fields are very moist this year, and the fruit trees in the home are like tea butter. There are ten mills of water in the river, and the gurgling water overflows hundreds of canals. It must be ripe. You are so mean, call off your troops and read the documents."

In terms of taxation, Zhang Yichao formulated a new taxation system based on re-registering the population and land.

According to the documents unearthed in Dunhuang, the Guiyi Army implemented a system of paying taxes based on the local area. The local taxes mainly included three items: land, official cloth and firewood. The land was paid entirely by the mu, and what was paid was grain.

Official cloth and firewood were also paid per mu.

The reason why there are both land, official cloth and firewood in local taxes is related to the fact that the Hexi region had not yet implemented a monetary economy during the Guiyi Army period in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. During the period when Tubo ruled Dunhuang, the tribal-general system and tutian system were implemented. The Tang Dynasty's common currency was abolished, and primitive barter exchange was mainly implemented, and the medium of exchange was physical objects.

After the establishment of the Guiyijun regime, due to the extreme shortage of money, people still used wheat, millet, silk, cloth and other physical goods to price their goods when buying and selling, hiring workers, pawning, and borrowing money. Judging from the known documents unearthed from Dunhuang, in the field of exchange, in addition to those who denominated wheat and millet, there were also many people who denominated prices in cloth.

It was precisely because currency was not a universal medium of exchange during this special period that under such circumstances, Zhang Yichao's Guiyijun regime changed the part of the tax payable in cash in the Tang Dynasty tax system to cloth or other physical goods. Therefore, many records of collecting official cloth and firewood are preserved in the unearthed Dunhuang documents.

In terms of culture, Zhang Yichao vigorously spread the advanced culture of the Han people in the Hexi area:"The restoration of Hexi was especially complicated by the Tibetan and Han people, with different pronunciations. The Qiang dragon was at its peak, and the thunderwei captured it. It was trained with Chinese style, and Xianhui was trained with good people. Rules and customs change."

In addition, Tang Dynasty costumes were restored and Sinicization was promoted. Soon, Dunhuang was"a place of splendor and elegance, as well as the mainland".

The landscape of the Hexi region has undergone major changes.
