Chapter 108: Banners in the prime of life embrace ten thousand husbands (4)
The early morning wind is very cool, blowing on people's faces, as if they are holding the clear water of Hala and Lin River in their hands and pouring it on their own faces.
Han Jiaxian, Zhao Huaiyi, Zhao Huaizhong and other guards followed closely behind. Bo Ji Changkong and Yan Wanshi, the two "imperial grooms", led the mounts of Zhao Si and Wu Yahanqina and followed behind.
Zhao Si gave a kick and frightened an insect away from the grass. Turning his head, he saw Wuyahanqina's watery eyes, full of curiosity, smiled, and began to look at Wuyahanqina. Na talked about the national conditions and strength of the Liao Kingdom.
"The structure of the Liao Kingdom was basically established by the father and son Yelu Yi (Yelü Abaoji) and Yelu Deguang. Subsequent Liao rulers modified and mended it on this basis. First, they divided the Khitan palaces and deployed them to the north. Palace officials, in charge of the two tribes and other nomadic tribes;"
"All palaces of the Han people are equipped with palace officials from the south to take charge of the Han and Bohai people - that is, the tribes of the Liao Dynasty's Tokyo Road. They have jurisdiction over prefectures, counties, Tixiasi, Shilie (equivalent to counties), Wari ( Organizations that detain palaces, relatives, ministers' family members of criminals), moli (equivalent to townships), deli and other organizations."
"The Liao Kingdom has twelve palaces and one prefecture in total, including thirty-eight Jizhou, ten counties, forty-one divisions, twenty-three Shilie, seventy-four Wali, ninety-eight Moli, two Deli, Zhasa 19. There are 80,000 official households (Khitan, Xi people), 124,000 transferred households (Han people or other ethnic groups) from Bo and Han, and 408,000 Ding households."
"In addition to providing taxes and labor to the palace minister, they also provide roughly one cavalry for every four dings, and adult men are also recruited as soldiers as needed. According to our understanding, all palaces and prefectures in the Liao Kingdom can recruit cavalry. One hundred and one thousand. In addition, there are 470,000 military horses in the Khitan official register."
Four hundred and seventy thousand war horses? Uyahanqina couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise. Of course she knew what so many war horses meant.
Zhao Si smiled and comforted her, "This is the number from the time of the Holy Emperor of Liao. After so many years, the Liao Kingdom has become corrupt and decayed. I guess the Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom doesn't even know how many military horses there are now."
Wu Yahanqina patted her high chest and said with a clear heart: "Khan, I know that just like on the grassland, there are times when it is lush and prosperous, and there are times when it wilts and withers. The Khitan now is already It’s winter.”
Zhao Si smiled happily. Sure enough, he had some capital to dare to regard Shu Luping as his idol.
He continued.
"Most of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the palaces of the Northern Liao Dynasty were located in Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo. The jurisdictions were concentrated in Xijing Prefecture (today's Beijing), Xijing Datong Prefecture (today's Shanxi Datong), and Fengsheng Prefecture (today's Shanxi Datong). Zhuolu, Hebei), Pingzhou (now Lulong, Hebei) and other important military places are conducive to guarding them in peacetime, and in case of war, each of their soldiers will be mobilized to fight."
"But now the monarch of the Liao Kingdom is debauched and fatuous, the ministers are flattering and greedy, the government is corrupt, the people of all walks of life are in constant unrest, and the wars are endless. The Jurchens, Bohai, Shiwei, and Han people are rising up in resistance everywhere. The palaces of the Liao Kingdom have their respective jurisdictions. The troops and horses in Xijing, Nanjing, Zhongjing and Tokyo are busy putting out the fire and quelling the chaos, and they can no longer take care of Mobei and the south."
Wu Yahanqina listened quietly. After a while, she asked excitedly: "Can we take advantage of the Khitan people's confusion to send troops to defeat them, occupy their pastures, and rob them?" cattle and sheep?”
Zhao Si laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "The Khitan people have accumulated power for hundreds of years, how can they fall easily. The civil unrest everywhere just makes the Khitan people busy and have no time to care. They have not suffered any injuries yet.
Despite the devastating defeat, our strength is still there, and our fleet and caravan must continue to work hard."
"I know about the caravan. They have their footprints on the grassland. What is the caravan?" Uyahanqina asked curiously.
"It's like a camel caravan in the Gobi Desert." Zhao seemed to answer vaguely.
"Oh, that's it."
At this time, Tan Shiji, who had been on duty, came running up on his horse and said softly: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Mongolian Borji Jin tribe, Hebule, and the leader of the Zadalan tribe, Guwuji, have come to attend the alliance meeting."
"The Female CEO's Almighty Soldier"
Zhao Si looked at the east. At this time, the sun had jumped out. It was like a torch, held high by the gods. The blue sky was like a huge cloak, draped on the gods holding the sun.
.
"The Borjijin tribe? The closest tribe, but they have to wait for the leader of Zatara to arrive and travel together. This Hebule is somewhat interesting..."
Having said this, Zhao Si turned to Wuya Hanqina and said, "Hangqina, do you know the situation of the Borjijin tribe and the Zadalan tribe?"
"I know something." Uyahanqina replied cheerfully: "The Mongols claimed to be from the Mongol Shiwei, and they were led by Bortechina and moved to the Hannan River. One of his descendants, Duo Benmiergan, joined them.
The tribes composed of the descendants of his wife Alanhua are called Niluwen Mongolians, such as the Borjijin tribe and the Zadalan tribe; the tribes composed of the other descendants are called Delieliejin Mongolians, such as the Hongjila tribe and Hedi tribe.
Jinbu.”
Zhao Si's eyes lit up and he nodded, "I understand. Han Qina, please host this banquet as the hostess."
"Yes!" Wu Yahanqina responded with bright eyes.
After a few days, Ku Qidubie, the leader of the Yilan tribe, Ergukun, the leader of the Hongjila tribe, and the leader of the Hedijin tribe arrived one after another.
On this day, Zhao Si, who had held a grand banquet, gathered his close relatives together.
Sitting at the top of the tent, Zhao Si said something first.
The La tribe, the Hongji La tribe and the Hedijin tribe. On the Mobei grassland, these are the only twelve tribes that are worthy of attention. The Kelei and Tataer tribes have been destroyed."
"Now only the Woyila tribe, the Borji Jin tribe, the Zada tribe, the Hongji tribe and the Hedijin tribe have come. In the past few months since I came to Mobei, I have killed countless people, and the blood has flowed into rivers, and I have wiped out two major
The tribe can only make five of the remaining ten factions willing to attend the appointment and come to listen to me speak properly."
"Even if you are willing to come, you will only serve me as Yanran Khan unwillingly! Yanran Khan is just a khan at the foot of Yanran Mountain, a local rich man! Is it possible that my soldiers and horses are not many, and my swords and arrows are not good?
What!"
Zhao Sisenran's words caused the temperature in the tent to drop by two degrees.
Sitting on both sides were the important civil and military ministers headed by Changsun Moli and Gao Shixuan. Their expressions were solemn, the older one was thoughtful, and the younger one had an indignant look on his face.
"I heard that the leader of the Mi'erqi Tribe, Hu Luba, gave me his accent?" Zhao Si asked calmly, calming down his tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tan Shiji replied.
"How to say?"
"Kuluba said that he wanted to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to go hunting and had no time to go south. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Tan Shiji replied in a deep voice.
Zhao Si sneered, "This guy gave me some face at least, and sent me a message. He'er Khan from the Nianba Ge tribe (Naiman tribe), as well as the Jili Jisi tribe, Huoli and Tuma tribe, the Eight
The Lahu tribe simply ignored my words and ignored them. I have always heard that the tribes in Mobei are unruly and unruly, and they are really strong-willed!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Si said decisively: "It seems that the Jingguan and first-level lottery are still too few."
Changsun Moli said at the side: "Your Majesty, He'er Khan of the Nianbage tribe has a good relationship with Hu'er Zhahusi of the Kele tribe and they have become allies. We killed Hu'er Zhahu Si, and He'er Khan must be in his heart.
Being unhappy and not responding is to be expected."
"The Gili Jisi tribe, the Huuli and Tuma tribes, and the Balahu tribe, one is in the Qian River (Yenisei River) basin, one is in the northwest of the Beihai, and the other is in the northeast of the Beihai. They are located in the extreme north with a long journey.
The weather is cold and the earth is miserable, so I think that the Song Dynasty is beyond our reach, so I don’t take the power of heaven seriously.”
"Mi'erqi's tribe is self-reliant and brave, and there are many people who are good at shooting, but that Huluba is also arrogant, so he did this arrogant act."
Zhao Si nodded approvingly, "Xuan Ming is right. Mobei is a vast area and the population is scattered. If you want to gather it together, it will not happen overnight."
Having said this, Zhao Si stood up, walked around the tent a few times with his hands behind his back, and continued from the top: "The most important purpose of this meeting is to test and see which tribes can be won over and which tribes will
It’s our obstacle. Shutong, which movie do you think will be our obstacle?”
Yu Wenxuzhong, who was named, replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I feel that the Bolji Jin tribe is so ambitious and unwilling to submit to others. It must be us who will unify Mobei and train Xuanwu."
The main obstacle to the flag.”
Li Guang asked with some confusion: "Shutong, this Hebule has been very active. He has promised to be the vanguard of our army and conquer the various tribes that are not subject to the enemy."
Yu Wenxuzhong replied: "That's why I said this man is dangerous. He is now attached to the wings of our Song Dynasty, and uses the soldiers and horses of our Song Dynasty to eradicate dissidents. When the time is right, our army will fight fiercely one after another, and his vitality will be severely damaged.
When the men and horses were exhausted, they made a sudden attack. Then they used this power to unify all the Mongolian tribes, and then conquered other tribes in Mobei."
"How can this prisoner be so cunning?" Li Guang exclaimed.
"Anyone who can make a name for himself in Mobei is the Wolf King. Who is not cunning and brave?" Zhao Si said, "It's just the follow-up matters that need to be left to Xuan Ming, Liu Fa and the generals."
Changsun Moli quickly replied: "This is the duty of ministers."
Zhao Si waved his hand: "The matter in Mobei is just a matter of time. The Xixia side is the most important thing. This time, in addition to the Suzaku Banner, the imperial court mobilized more than 200,000 horse infantry troops to launch a war of annihilation against Xixia. It must be this year
Completed. It is now the end of August, the weather is starting to get colder, and the second batch of Suzaku Army led by Liu Fa is about to arrive."
"I have to rush to Hetao before winter comes, join the Pingxia Front, and end the war as soon as possible."
Changsun Moli understood the idea and raised a question: "The biggest change in the Mobei incident and even the Xixia war is in the Northern Liao Dynasty. Although Emperor Tianzuo is fatuous and absurd, it is possible for him to listen to loyal ministers in such military and national affairs.
The advice is that it will not be a good thing to concentrate our troops at that time, whether it is to go north to Mobei or south to aid Xia."
"I know this. This summer, our fleet will bypass Goryeo and transport two ships of soldiers to the Changbai Nüzhi. This time, the Changbai Nüzhi, Donghai Nüzhi, and the Five Kingdoms Nüzhi from Hun Tongjiang,
The tribes of Shiwei are preparing to take on the second largest one."
"Tokyo Road is rich in pearls, furs, gold, silver, timber, etc. It is an important source of wealth for the Northern Liao Dynasty. It is also adjacent to the Longxing Land of the Khitans. Emperor Tianzuo cannot tolerate any mistakes in it. At least.
For two or three years, I had no time to take care of him."
Changsun Moli understood clearly, "Your Majesty, I understand that we must seize the two or three years to integrate the tribes in Mobei and organize them into the Xuanwu Banner for the use of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Si nodded and said with his hands behind his back: "I will not go to restrain Shi Yanran this time and seal the wolf as a junior. In the next year, Liu Fa and Mr. Xuan Ming can make the tribes in Mobei willingly join the Xuanwu Banner.
I am the Khan of the Four Seas, and I will come again!" This chapter has been completed!
