More than ten years later in normal history, the Liao army was beaten like a dog by the rising Jurchens, and was driven from the northeast to Yanjing.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty wanted to beat the lost dog and take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit. So he took the first part of the Western Army, which was known as the most capable of the Song Army, as the vanguard, and then mobilized the imperial troops from the capital and Hebei as the main force and headed north to Yanshan.
As a result, he was beaten like a dog by the Liao army.
They were suppressed by the Jurchens, leaving only a little territory in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. The main force was also lost in Liaodong, and the rest were all miscellaneous defeated troops.
It happened that the Liao army was able to defeat the Song army with a backhand.
So, can I avoid despair? Can I avoid military reform?
Thinking of this, Zhao Si sighed, "Our own people are not up to par. The imperial troops in Hebei and Hedong are useless. So we have to resort to rat weapons. In this sensitive period of military and political reform, if someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos and lure Liao soldiers south, it will be a big disaster.
.Although the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty are dull and careless and have no desire to make progress, they will definitely not refuse if they have the opportunity to rob them. So Brother Xuanming is right, those bastard families can only knock, not move."
Zeng Baohua added next to him, "At least we cannot send Master Zong and Master Guo to Hedong and Hebei."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Si also smiled.
Zongze and Guo Yong became famous after fighting in the northwest. Everyone in the world knew that they were both upright and evil stars with black faces.
He waved his hand and said, "Old Master Zong and Master Guo are not finished yet in the northwest. There are still a lot of weeds that need to be dealt with, and we can't leave them at the moment."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si spoke with deep feeling.
"Actually, I don't object to everyone digging into my bowl. As long as you are willing to sacrifice your life and earn merit in exchange for it, I don't mind generous rewards. Many generals and families in the Western Army have their own problems, and I don't mind. They succeed one after another, and the father dies and the son inherits.
, fought bloody battles with Xixia in the northwest for nearly a hundred years, and what is theirs must be given to them."
"There is no harm without comparison! Look at the many aristocratic families in Hedong and Hebei... When the Liao soldiers went south, I can imagine that the archers of the state, county and rural soldiers who wanted to defend their homes and relatives might be willing to fight to the death. Others can't be counted on.
.Escape once and then surrender. If it doesn't work, surrender."
"You want to take advantage of it, but you are unwilling to contribute. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Wait until the wind and thunder stir up, and then look at their quality. If you don't know the destiny at that time, and only know what is in your own bowl, regardless of the overall situation, I will not
I would like to eradicate them all. I still lack fertile land to reward the meritorious people."
Zhao Si's words were deep and sharp, and everyone listened quietly.
"Cao Liulang, Mengzi, you take action! We must not allow Xixia to obtain life-saving food from Hebei and Hedong. I will slowly release the blood of Xixia. Until their vitality is seriously injured, our new army will be almost reorganized.
Fight to the death with them. As for the aristocratic families in Hedong and Hebei, fight small and big. But we can only let it go for the time being. You must take note of the accounts carefully. If you don’t know the current affairs by then, we will settle the old and new accounts together!"
"The officials and ministers will remember it."
Zhao seemed to feel a little tired.
In military affairs, one after another, you need to consider the pros and cons and then make a decision, which is really hard work. I hope that the political reform will be completed quickly, and someone will be responsible for the specific things, so that I can just focus on the direction and supervise it.
"Xuan Ming, the second phase of the Xiaoqi Battalion has been completed. The day before yesterday, it set off back to the northwest to serve as the various units of the Suzaku Banner. The third phase of the Xiaoqi Battalion has left Tongguan. You have to catch up on the preparations."
"It is summer now. According to the deployment, the Zhuque Banner will use troops to attack the old Tubo territory. My Zhuque Banner is divided into seven wings and has a total of 42 star officials. In total, it can be divided into 420,000 households, that is, 420,000 households.
.Coupled with the allocated supporting households, the Zhuque Banner basket can hold nearly two million regular households and supporting households. Now there are only 45,000 regular households and 117,000 supporting households, which is still far from enough.
Far."
Zeng Baohua said with some worry: "Is it easy for the officials to fight in the old Tubo land?"
"Today's Tubo is not the Tubo that was rampant in the former Tang Dynasty. There are seventeen or eight named Zampos, most of them are puppets. There are hundreds of local tyrants and tribal leaders, large and small, and no one obeys anyone.
"It's just a pile of loose sand. The most difficult thing is the danger of the plateau, which most people can't bear."
Changsun Moli answered for Zhao Si.
"However, the various tribes in Hequ and Huangzhong are adapted to the plateau terrain. For the officials, it is easy to conquer but difficult to manage."
Faced with the question of the eldest grandson Moli, Zhao Si replied confidently, "I have already thought about it. Fertile and dangerous places will be under the Suzaku banner. Every corner, like a useless place, will set up a department of comfort or consolation."
.This is one. The other is to control the religion there."
Zhao Si turned to Cen Meng, "Mengzi, I secretly ordered your Military Intelligence Bureau to deploy manpower to follow the Suzaku Banner in the old Tubo headquarters. In addition to surveying the terrain, population, etc., we also need to explore the large and small temples there.
clear."
"Yes, the official family. The ministers have made arrangements and dispatched 125 people, led by deputy Wang Siye, and rushed to Shanzhou. Once there, they will conduct assault training first, and then follow the Suzaku Banner Army."
"Well, Mengzi, the tasks and goals have been assigned to you by the Ministry of Secretariat. I want to explain my intentions to you today, so that you can have an idea of the follow-up work."
"Please give me some advice from the officials."
"In the old land of Tubo, most of the people and nobles believe in Buddhism, but there are different sects. My purpose is that Buddhism in the old land of Tubo is divided into four to six sects. There are not so many, and your people have to do it for me. This is one of them. There are different sects of Buddhism.
The leader of the sect, the great monk, will be recognized by the court before being granted the title of guru."
"In the official family, the land of Tubo is far away and difficult to control. I feel that the leaders of various Buddhist sects cannot be hereditary. Once they have been entrenched for hundreds of years, it is easy to form aristocratic families and separatist regions."
Changsun Moli interjected.
"Well, that's a good point." Zhao Si stood up and walked twice in the middle of the side hall, "Don't Buddhism talk about reincarnation? Let's follow their teachings..."
Zhao Si explained the institutional procedures such as drawing lots from the golden urn, and then added.
"The selected new master is in Kaifeng City... Go to Luoyang, where there are White Horse Temple and Longmen Grottoes, Buddhist resorts. Build a royal temple there and let them study Buddhist scriptures. When they reach adulthood, they will be sent back to the main temple of the sect.
Enthroned on the bed and formally prayed for the believers in the jurisdiction..."
"Wonderful!" Changsun Moli and others praised it.
Cen Meng said sincerely: "Wei Chen knows the good intentions of the officials, and Wei Chen will also have a clear target in his future work."
"Okay. It's getting late today, so let's talk about this first. Things are complicated and need to be done one by one. But you must remember that the purpose and context must be clear so that you will not be confused."
"I will remember the official's instructions!"
