Chapter 199: The new painted building has a deep curtain (1)
"I want to raise the two flags of Suzaku and Xuanwu, and crush Samadha (Samarkand) of the Kara Khanate!" Zhao Si said angrily, handing the military report to all the ministers for circulation.
It turned out that Western Kara Khan Muhammad II believed that the Song army crossed the border to pursue Hezhier Khan and beheaded him in public by the Chui River. This was too arrogant and seriously damaged the majesty of the Kara Khanate.
Therefore, he ordered to raid a Song caravan that passed through the city of Samadang and headed for Khorasan. The property was confiscated, most of the merchants were killed, and a few were left to report back.
It’s really too much of a lie!
Decades ago, the Kara Khanate was divided into two. The Western Khan is the Changzhi Ali family, which controls the Transoxiana area and the western part of Fergana, with Samarkand and Bukhara as its capitals; the Eastern Khan is the Young Zhikha
The Mulberry family owns Talos, Baishui City, Shicheng, the eastern part of Fergana, the Chui River Basin and Kashgar. Balashagon is the political and military capital, and Kashgar is the religious and cultural center.
The Song army was blowing the river to show off its power, trampling on the face of the Eastern Kara Khanate. Ahmad, the Eastern Kara Khan, didn't even say a word. Why did you, the Western Kara Khan, jump out and pretend to be a big clove of garlic?
Tan Shiji, Yu Wenxuzhong, Wei Baoqing, Zhong Shizhong, Yang Weizhong and others looked at each other in confusion.
Although they felt that Xikara Khan was indeed rude, under the current circumstances, it was really not worth reorganizing their troops and going on a costly expedition thousands of miles away.
At least it's not worth it at this time.
But when everyone saw Guan Lei's furious look, they didn't dare to speak out to persuade him.
Today's official family has far more power and prestige than the previous emperors, and even the most powerful ministers are frightened by his majesty.
Especially now, seeing the unprecedented anger of the officials, the ministers are as silent as a cicada.
After looking around at everyone's expressions, Tan Shiji gritted his teeth and spoke out to persuade.
"Your Majesty, Xikara Khan is very rude and deserves to be punished. However, the four directions are still uncertain, and the Liao Kingdom is eyeing the north, and the expedition cannot be too hasty. I suggest that it is better to slow down."
Zhao Si looked at him without making a sound. The silence was like an invisible wall, squeezing Tan Shiji from all directions, almost squeezing him into powder.
A few drops of sweat fell from his forehead.
Zhao Si turned around and looked around at everyone, his voice cold.
"Do you also have the same opinion?"
As the highest-ranking official present, Wei Baoqing felt invisible pressure and the expectations of his colleagues.
He said cruelly, "Your Majesty, I think what Tan Changshi said is very reasonable."
Zhao seemed silent, and no one dared to make a sound. The tent was so silent that everyone could hear their own heartbeats.
"I shouldn't be so impatient. Yan Zhi and Bai Shan were very right in admonishing me!"
Zhao Si finally spoke again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Zhao Si calmed down when Tan Shiji spoke out to dissuade him.
Things are indeed infuriating, but they must be analyzed calmly, and they cannot start to drift after winning a few battles.
It is a long way to conquer the Western Kara Khanate. It costs a lot to send troops from Hexi, and there is a Gaochang Uighur in the middle. People may not necessarily use the road, but they will think that you are playing a false way to destroy Guo, and secretly fight with you.
, that is, being attacked from both sides.
The best way is to send troops from Mobei and Qingtang Plateau.
Historically, Genghis Khan's expedition to Khwarizm was a far longer journey, and it did not embarrass the national treasury and cause serious financial overruns - at that time, Mongolia had a poor finances.
But now is not the time. Mobei has just tidied up the five divisions of Kile, Tata'er, Nian Bage, Boer Jijin, and Mierqi. It is the critical moment for integration.
Even the old Tibetan territory of Zhuque Banner has been integrated for several years, but there are still many problems.
Rushing to dispatch young men to fight against the Western Kara Khanate can easily lead to instability in the two banners.
Besides, the Mobei Xuanwu Banner still relies on them to suppress the Liao Kingdom. The Zhuque Banner is its own strategic mobile force. The two armies need to be on standby at any time. Once something changes in the Liao Kingdom, they can respond immediately.
Out of anger, he transferred the main force to the Western Regions. If something unexpected happened, it would be too late to regret it.
After Zhao Si thought about it, he didn't say anything, just to see if the close friends here could still persist in admonishing him.
Now it seems that I am quite satisfied. They have not become submissive and dare not stick to the facts and truth because of their power.
"The Western Kara Khanate is the smallest state. If it dares to provoke the Song Dynasty like this, it must have found a strong backer. I have ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau and the External Liaison Office of the China News Agency to send out capable personnel to find out the situation clearly."
"yes!"
Seeing Zhao Si regaining his composure and starting to strategize as usual, everyone's hearts were aroused.
"It is decreed that Altan Mountain is designated as Jinshan Mountain, Hanghai Ridge is designated as Yanran Mountain, Burhan Mountain is designated as Langjuxu Mountain, and Jinshan Mountain (Daxingan Mountains) is designated as Xianbei Mountain. The south and east of Kunlun Mountain and the west sea of Qingtang and Tang Dynasties are still Zhu.
Que Banner Land; west of Xianbei Mountain, north of Yinshan Mountain, and east of Jinshan Mountain, Ale River, and Yima'er River is the Xuanwu Banner Land; west of Jinshan Mountain, Ale River, Yima'er River, and north of Kunlun Mountain is the White Tiger Banner
land."
"For the time being, the old Nianbage tribe, together with the Jilijisi tribe and the Zhadala tribe, entered the area west of Jinshan to station themselves and organized it into the White Tiger Banner. Hu Luxiong was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Xu Guangliang, and Ku Beilun.
, Ye Li Huang is on your right, Helian Baoshu, Boli Qu is on the west for Kui Lang, Lou Jin, and Tu Pheasant has ten thousand households on the left and right. That person was born in ancient times and his bare bones are scattered. I will give him the name Gu Wuxiong to fill the post of a thousand households.
"
"Tell Hu Luxiong that he has only one mission, to organize and train the White Tiger Banner. The target of the training is the Western Kara Khanate! Then pass the order to the Zhuque Banner and tell them that starting from next year, the target of the annual training will be from Tianzhu south of the Snow Mountain
, changed to the Kunlun Mountains, the Western Kara Khanate north of Congling!"
Having said this, Zhao Si glanced around the crowd and spoke righteously.
"It's not that I am too small-minded and have no capacity to tolerate this humiliation. Building a country with agriculture, strengthening the country with industry, and enriching the country with business are the national policies I have set for the Song Dynasty. Now Xikara Khan kills my caravan and robs my property
, cut off our trade routes! If we are not severely punished, people from all directions will swarm and plunder the goods of our Song Dynasty caravan. Where is the foundation of a rich country?"
"Ten years are not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now I, the Song Dynasty, have more important things to do, so I can't take care of them for the moment. But I won't let these bastards go! Collect some interest first, and when I am free, I will definitely destroy them.
Kingdom! Then send the heads of Mohammed II and the chief envoy behind him to all the lands in the Western Regions! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to ensure smooth trade routes between the Song Dynasty and the Western countries!"
Zhao Si's voice was as loud as a bell. After everyone listened, they thought that the Song Dynasty had paid more and more attention to industry and commerce in the past two years, and they understood the painstaking efforts of the officials.
In the Song Dynasty, industry was greatly developed, and the various goods manufactured not only met the needs of the country's military, civilians, officials and people, but were also sold to foreign countries in exchange for more goods to enrich the country.
If the Western Kara Khanate were to be punished like this, no one would dare to rob the Song caravans in the future, and this business would be out of business!
Since we can't send out an army to deal with it now, we can collect some interest. We can also train our troops and kill two birds with one stone! This chapter has been completed!
