Chapter 394: Strategy against Liaoning
When Yelu Xian became the emperor, the ministers of the Song Dynasty did not think there was anything wrong, because they did not know history.
But what can Guo Hao knows about history? He can't kill Yelu Xian now. Unless there are sniper rifles or time bombs, the possibility of success is very small.
However, these two things are also recorded by the Academy of Geography and are also being studied in projects. Among them, the bullets required by sniper rifles are not ordinary lead bullets, and real bullets are required.
As for how to make bullets, I have never taught this book. The gunpowder in bullets is not ordinary gunpowder, so I have to study gunpowder first.
There was no way to kill Yelu Xian, and Guo Hao did not intend to let him develop freely. The reason why the Liao Kingdom rose in history was because it absorbed a large amount of Han culture.
The process of Yelu Xian governing the Liao Kingdom was also the process of learning Han culture and summarizing the experience of Han people in governing the country.
It turned out that Emperor Taizong of Liao attached great importance to the development of agriculture. Not only did he support the Han people in the development of agriculture in the Han areas, but he was suitable for the development of agriculture in grassland areas. Emperor Jingzong of Liao also allowed people to reclaim land and develop production.
In order to protect agricultural production and prevent the intentional or unintentional destruction of the Khitans who do not have the habit of paying attention to agriculture, Yelu Xian ordered his followers to prohibit his crops from trampling on the crops at will, and ordered the troops to bypass the farmland during the march.
The development of agriculture played a great role in promoting the development of various economies of Liao Kingdom and also strengthening Liao's national strength.
While developing agriculture, Yelu Xian also continued Abaoji's approach and tried to recruit talents, especially Han people.
After obtaining the sixteen states, a group of Han intellectuals were selected to manage the affairs of each state, including many capable talents.
Yelu Xian followed the Han emperor's approach and asked his subordinates to recommend talented people to serve as officials. Later, he issued an edict to recruit talented people. If the assessment was indeed outstanding, he could immediately hold a high position.
He also tried his best to absorb some of the Han etiquettes, for example, he abolished the old Khitan folk customs of the death of his sister in the marriage system.
The Khitans who were ordered to be Han officials followed the Han customs and could intermarry freely with the Han people, thus promoting exchanges and further integration between the nations and fundamentally strengthening the relationship between the Khitan and the Han people.
Despite this, the Khitan habits could not be fundamentally changed, especially when the Liao army went south to fight in the Central Plains, because the Liao army had no logistics supply, the food and grass had to be solved on its own.
Therefore, when the Liao soldiers arrived in a place, they would inevitably harass the people and rob food and grass, which caused the Liao army to be strongly resisted by the Han people.
The people's hearts were lost, and it was difficult for Liao's rule in the Central Plains to continue. It was not until his death that Emperor Taizong of Liao woke up, but it was too late.
In fact, even if he knew earlier and took measures, he could not change his long-term national habits in a short period of time.
As a backward nomadic people ruled the Han area, the Khitan must be sinicized. Emperor Jingzong of Liao probably realized this before his death, but he no longer had the opportunity to implement the experiences and lessons he summarized in practice.
Guo Hao has a general understanding of the history of the Liao Kingdom. Since the Liao Kingdom will inevitably become Chinese, he will help them!
Some people say that if Guo Hao did this, wouldn’t he be a foe to the enemy, but he didn’t know that if he didn’t do this, even if he defeated the Khitan, he would return to the starting point in a hundred years.
The reason why nomadic peoples have frequently invaded the Central Plains for thousands of years is because they cannot eat enough. If the people can eat enough, there will be few rebellions.
In addition to the issue of food and clothing, culture is also very important. The people of the Central Plains love peace and are unwilling to fight, but the nomadic peoples are different. Plundering has made them taste the sweetness, so they are keen on war.
Also following Guo Hao's observation, he also discovered one thing, that is, the invasion of the north and the south are usually in autumn, because the water and grass are abundant, fat and strong horses are strong, and the Central Plains is the autumn harvest season, so you will get something after you go.
If you send troops at this time, you will generally not be able to defeat the opponent. There are many phenomena in history, and many famous generals will avoid this stage and choose to attack in winter or spring.
In this way, when Guo Hao wants to assimilate them, he must also have strong strength to stop their attacks. If he dares to reach out, he will hit you. If he is afraid of being hit, he will have a memory.
This is Guo Hao's ultimate strategy, and I don't know whether he can complete it in his life, but once it is completed, it can eliminate the hidden dangers of China for thousands of years.
The world is full of Han people, and the rule is much stronger than those in prison. Even if there are ethnic minorities, they only need to retain their national characteristics, and the rest of their habits are no different from those of the Han people.
Once they get used to this kind of life, it will be difficult to go back.
So for those who are in charge of states, it is a beginning and an experiment. If successful, Guo Hao’s next target is the Liao Kingdom.
If the Liao Kingdom does not cooperate, then I will see it on the battlefield. Guo Hao will not be able to break the verge of death and start with the right to trade and cultural exchanges.
The Liao Kingdom needs to develop and it happens to be needed. On the surface, this will be a win-win situation, but I don’t know that Guo Hao is preparing for the sake of complete unity.
...
The new emperor of Liao Kingdom ascended the throne, and all industries were waiting to be developed. Since the Northern Han Dynasty did not cause trouble, the sixteen states of Yanyun could not pass, so the two countries had no war and were determined to develop.
Both countries are developing, and the Song Dynasty is obviously faster. Military academies are on track, and those academies no longer make a name for themselves.
In fact, Guo Hao cannot hold a main text ceremony, but he did this to give respect to the generals.
Although Guo Hao attaches importance to military generals, most of the country can be governed by literati, and the standard for selecting generals in the future is to be both civil and military, which shows Guo Hao's emphasis on culture.
After one semester of training, a small number of students could not bear the hardships to leave. This was also under Guo Hao's expectations. If it weren't for the first batch of students, he would not have taken so many people.
In the blink of an eye, July was coming, and a major case occurred in the afternoon.
Since Shuofang belongs to the throne state, he also has the position of Jiedushi. Feng Jiye killed his brother and replaced him!
Feng Jiye took over his father and brother to guard him, and was very spoiled and rampant, which led to the local Qiangyi's disobedience and bad for him, and many soldiers were disloyal.
When the news reached Bianliang, Guo Hao almost laughed out loud. He had been trying to touch Shuofang, but there was no right reason.
Although the court sent officials there, the work was not going well. If the Qiang and Yi rebelled at this time, then he would have a reason to send troops!
So Guo Hao issued a secret order to ask the general Yang Ye, the northern border, to secretly spread rumors, fan the flames, and incite the Qiang and the Yi to rebel.
As soon as they rebel, the court immediately came forward to take charge of the overall situation, directly changed the ruling system, and began to assimilate the Qiangyi in Shuofang.
When Yang Ye received the secret order, he secretly spread rumors that Feng Jiye thought these Qiang Yi was in trouble and wanted to kill them all.
And Song Ting didn't take them seriously, and he wouldn't say anything if he killed them all.
As soon as this rumor came out, the people of the Qiangyi tribe were indeed very frightened. They lived here for hundreds of years and lived with the Han people. They were peaceful for such a long time.
Now that Han officials say they want to kill them, how could they wait for death? They did not interfere in the wars in the three places of Xiazhou. Now it seems that Song Ting has been coveting them for a long time!
The leader of the Qiang tribe summoned his tribe members and discussed what to do next.
"Everyone, now Feng Jiye is killed by his brother and takes over as the governor of Lingwu Jie. Everyone knows his character, and that rumor may not be fake!"
After the leader finished speaking, another elder said: "Although there are many rumors outside, the imperial court has not issued an order yet. If the imperial court allows Feng Jiye to continue as the queen, we can report it.
If Feng Jiye is not allowed to stay in the rear, if we rashly raise trouble, we may not be able to resist the imperial army. If the imperial court really wants to kill us, our anger will be a real person!”
The elder's analysis is very reasonable. After Li Guangrui defected to the Khitan, the northwest region was like a pile of sand, and the power could not be condensed at all.
If Dangxiang and Shuofang were added together, they would be able to fight with the court, but now no one united them. The rebellion of the Qiang people in Shuofang was to hit the stone with eggs.
"But everyone has seen what Feng Jiye did. He has repeatedly disturbed us and has no repentance.
Moreover, his soldiers are not the same as him. If we unite our strength, we may have a way out.
