There were more than 30 envoys from the Beihai tribes, and basically all the tribes that did not obey the Red Skill of Beihai King came. Unlike several other Marine tribes, the tribes of Beihai were closer to the grassland, so the tribes of Beihai tribes were more grazing than farming.
.
Among these more than 30 tribes, there are more than 100,000 tribes, and the small ones are 10,000 or 20,000 tribes, which total only 400,000 or 500,000 people. After fighting with Beihai King Chi Shu for a year, I can't hold on.
Lived.
After a detailed discussion with these small tribes, Zhao Xun understood what the other party meant, and wanted to rely on himself, but also maintained a **. In other words, he was to use himself as a mercenary to deter King Beihai.
To be honest, Zhao Xun really wants to fight these tribes, but the Xiaoguo Army is really out of money and food to fight. If it is not good, it will repeat the current situation of the Great Yan Kingdom. Xuzhou and Liangzhou
The main reason for the chaos is that it has fought back and forth with the Turks, the largest force in the north, for decades.
What is war? It’s not available out of thin air. If it’s not enough, what should I do? Increase taxes, so the people in the eastern region suffer. For the country, we can pay and die in the battlefield.
It's not like this that the whole family starved to death. As a result, the Turks atrophy and the Great Yan Kingdom was about to fall. Zhao Xun didn't want the Xiaoguo Army he pulled up with one hand, and he also wanted to be like a meteor, and it was fleeting. Emperor Wu of Han
It was very powerful. At that time, I had the foundation of the two emperors Wen and Jing. Although my experience was farther than that of the people of this era and had the help of gunpowder, it did not mean that I really needed money and food when I was fighting.
Because no one around him discussed, Zhao Xun did not respond immediately, but asked these envoys to stay for the time being, wait for him to think about it and make a decision.
The three Khitan tribes, Liaodong Kingdom, and Sumoji tribe all went back to their families to report the situation. Zhao Xun strongly ordered the divided territory to be given up as quickly as possible so that the Xiaoguo army could send people.
Take over. As for the compensation livestock, pay it as soon as possible.
On that day, just as he sat down and instructed the issue of the civilians and men from the three eastern prefectures to turn to the rural and left-behind garrisons, Han Meng came to report: "Lord, Mr. Situ has arrived!"
"Come back? Invite him in!"
"Subordinate Situ Liang, pay homage to the Grand Governor!" Situ Liang entered the study and said to Zhao Xun.
"You are not etiquette, why did you, who have never liked etiquette, become like this?" Zhao Xun smiled and asked Situ Liang to sit down.
"The Grand Governor is now of extraordinary status, and his subordinates dare not be presumptuous! I didn't expect that the Lord has such a high position now." Situ Liang said with a smile on his face.
"You are right. It's not good to have a high seat. It's too cold to be high. It's the target of public criticism!" Zhao Xun sighed.
"But many people are trying their best to pursue these positions." Situ Liang also said deeply.
"By the way, how is the situation in Liaozhou Prefecture?"
"It has basically stabilized, and the ten thousand civilians who came with the army have also converted them into county soldiers from all over the country according to the lord's wishes. Fortunately, the three eastern prefectures have reduced taxes, otherwise it would be difficult to gain a foothold!
However, now, all the tribes around were shocked by the slaughter of their lords. They only know that we are strong now, but they don’t know that we are in trouble now, and the logistics are no longer able to bear it."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "We have seized a lot of food and grass in the three eastern prefectures. In addition to the seeds and life needs provided to the people, we can also provide 100,000 troops for one and a half years. So, now we must first make the
The compensation from all ethnic groups is obtained. These cattle and sheep are good things. Needless to say, cattle are indispensable, and they are definitely the top priority for farmers. As for sheep, one person can take care of a large group and rush to the mountains and fields.
, don't worry at all, meat can be eaten, and the mat can be used as clothing and armor."
"The subordinates also think this is the top priority. At the same time, we can also exchange precious silk and salt tea with them. In addition to the use of cattle and sheep for our own use, more importantly, we let the noble landlords of all races,
Get used to our silk, porcelain, and tea, so that they can't stop. It's best to form habits and compare them. In this way, we will keep changing the energy source to what we need."
Zhao Xun slapped his hands and sighed: "This method is very wonderful and feasible! It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality! In the future, our merchants began to sell those gorgeous and precious things to the north. We can still do this kind of goods.
Tax cuts.”
Situ Liang also said: "As far as my subordinates know, among the Huhu in the north, there are many Han people, and there are also many who admire Han culture and are willing to become Chinese. We can fight for these people, or even strive for more.
"Well! The weakening of the enemy is our strength."
"Also, my subordinates think that it is not easy for the three prefectures of Liaodong to leave too many defenders."
After hearing what Situ Liang said, Zhao Xun was stunned and said, "Tell me!" He did not want to leave too many defenders here, because no matter how many they left, it was not enough to support the army war.
It is better to leave fewer people than to leave behind a large army here, but the northern Huhu dare not be humiliated lightly.
"Now to the north of the three eastern prefectures are the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Marine tribe. With us, we have become a three-legged tripod, and we are the strongest. If we leave too many defenders, the other two sides will be worried at all times.
They will even unite with each other. But if we act like maintaining the status quo and no longer force others, then the two countries that have been in conflict and have lost a large area of territory will naturally burst into conflicts."
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is reasonable, but the three eastern prefectures are also disadvantageous. When they hand over the Hu and Hu Han, they live in a mixed manner. Although we have moved the people in large numbers, it will be difficult to cause trouble to the Marine people in the short term.
A very high proportion. Therefore, there are fewer troops in the garrison, but not too few. Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Marine tribes will not attack in person, but it is still possible to tempt some people to mess around internally. The Second Mansion Army will be defeated.
Most of the loss was basically lost, so the second government army had to withdraw back to Youzhou and restore it. I think the first government, the fifth government and the sixth government were still here. There must be enough people left in the north.
.”
Situ Liang thought for a while and said, "In this way, the soldiers can only be allowed to farm and support themselves, and exchange soldiers and farmers. This will not only reassure both sides, but also shock the local area. Once there is a change, kill all sides in time."
"The military farming system is OK, this is OK, this is done!" Zhao Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The military farming system refers to the use of soldiers and farmers to cultivate wasteland to obtain military support and taxes, and among them, it is divided into military farming and civil farming. Zhao Xun made these 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers into military farming soldiers, and of course training is indispensable.
When the war broke out, the people immediately turned into soldiers.
"In this way, the food pressure in Youzhou can be reduced. In addition, the subordinates look at the three eastern prefectures, and the roads are difficult to move. We also need to repair the official roads. Whether it is merchants' interactions or urgently dispatching troops, this passage is good
Bad, they all have a very important impact on us.”
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "It is true. My Xiaoguo Army is different from the northern part. Their cavalry is far more important than us. If the road is more important to us than them. There are still 60,000 to 70,000 people from Liaotun City.
, Let them build roads. If you do something wrong, you should pay a price. The official roads between the three prefectures must run through the left and right north and south. The official roads between the three prefectures of Youzhou and the east are naturally the prisoners within Youzhou.
Go and repair.”
"Situ, what do you think about the affairs of the Beihai tribes?" Zhao Xun asked.
"Share it! Of course, we have to do it. How can we abandon this good opportunity without even having to find excuses? Once we enter the Beihai tribes, we don't have to come out."
"In addition, we can also use this to destroy the territory of the North Sea, either for one's own use, or for those who are willing to use it for us."
Seeing Zhao Xun's contemplative look on his face, Situ Liang said, "Is the lord considering which army to send?"
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, this time is very good, but the Beihai tribes must maintain a very high level of vigor. The troops sent are completely in places without support. They also have to face anytime.
There is no complete fortifications and no detailed intelligence system, so you must be careful.”
Situ Liang smiled and said, "Lord, we still have that army now?"
“Which one?”
"Mihe Eight Banners Soldiers! Since the Sumo Marine tribe has admitted defeat, the Marine Eight Banners Soldiers do not need to stay here. However, the soldiers of the Marine Eight Banners will have no gains after the war has disappeared. There is nothing in the short term, and over time, these soldiers will inevitably appear.
trouble."
Thinking about it, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army paid a lot of money. Last time, the pension was quite high, but the Eight Banners soldiers of the Jingguo Army, who were also under the Xiaoguo Army, did not. After a long time, how could they be content? Although there were many of their own people in it.
, but once the 40,000 team is in trouble, it will definitely be a big trouble.
"Then let them go to the Beihai tribes. By the way, since they have gone, a Han general or government office needs to coordinate the Beihai tribes. Who do you think is suitable for the mission?"
Situ Liang hesitated and said, "This... there is no good candidate for subordinates. The lord can just correct it at will. Anyway, the death of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Marine Eight Banners is not important to us. What is important is that they will lead to
The indelible contradiction between the Beihai tribes and the Beihai King.”
Seeing Situ Liang's troops answering in a positive way, Zhao Xun smiled secretly and said, "I want Li Muzhi and his 6,000 Black Armored Camp under his command to recruit the Beihai tribes, join the Eight Banners of the Marines, and establish the Beihai Protectorate,
The duty of the archer is to "comfort the vassals and gather foreign invaders". All the "comfort, conquer, conquer, confess, and punish the demerits" of the surrounding nations are all under their control.
The "Protectorate" originated from the Western Regions Protectorate in Wulei in the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty (60 BC). It commanded the extremely east city walls of Dayuan, and also inspected the nomadic countries such as Wusun and Kangju.
.
Zhao Xun's opinion was to establish the Beihai Protectorate in the Beihai tribes, set up a Protectorate, responsible for the affairs of the Beihai tribes and the surrounding Khitan and Liaodong Kingdom. One Protectorate, three Deputy Protectorate, and the Marine Commander
Several.
Seeing Situ Liang frowned slightly, Zhao Xun said: "What? Is there something wrong with my arrangement?"
"Lord, this Protectorate can only be sent by the court. We do it privately... If the lord has no intention of entering the court, there is no problem with this method, but if you want to go to Luoyang, this matter needs to be considered." Situ Liang was worried.
He actually thought there was no need to go to Luoyang, and the court could not do anything to the Xiaoguo Army. Even if it was accused of being accused of it, so what? The only bad thing is that the prefectures of the Central Plains have begun to cut off the source of supplies in Youzhou and let
A lot of things cannot be obtained normally.
Zhao Xun said: "There is only a chance to send people to the Beihai tribes to perform the post of the Protectorate and the name of the Five Protectorate. After entering the court, see if there is any chance to make suggestions and promise this Protectorate. Anyway, this thing
For them, it is just a name that has no effect. With this name, it can expand the country's reputation and should not be rejected."
"It's hard to say! If it's someone else's suggestion, it's hard to say it, but if it's the lord's opinion, it's hard to say it!" Situ Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Then Zhao Xun made a detailed discussion with the Beihai tribes. The Xiaoguo Army did not interfere with the internal affairs of the Beihai tribes and sent large troops to the Beihai tribes to resist the attack of the Beihai King. The Beihai tribes should provide large troops according to the population of each tribe.
food and grass needs.
The money and goods seized from the battle with King Beihai belong to the Xiaoguo Army. The additional land occupied will be divided equally with the Beihai tribes.
The Beihai tribes shall not block the young and strong men of the Beihai tribes from joining the troops stationed in the Beihai tribes, nor shall they block the caravans under the rule of the Xiaoguo army. The Beihai tribes must bear the losses in the war, such as war horses and armor.
, go to the Xiaoguo Army to buy it. In short, the Xiaoguo Army will not take the additional burden on the soldiers for the Beihai tribes. If the Beihai tribes do not want to bear the needs of the soldiers, then any consequences will be borne by the Beihai tribes themselves and will bear them with Xiao
Guo Jun has no direct relationship.
After signing, the envoys of the Beihai tribes rushed back to the various tribes, and the Eight Banners soldiers of the Mohe at the northern end of Liaozhou Prefecture also began to move westward. At the same time, a military order was also brought to the hands of Li Muzhi, the Heijia Camp of Shunzhou Prefecture.
After convening the generals to discuss, the second government finally withdrew from Youzhou to rest. The first government entered Andong Prefecture, the fifth government and the sixth government were both located in Liaozhou Prefecture and Xiping Prefecture, but the northern end was still the main one.
The soldiers began to farm. At the same time, a large number of criminals, who did not cooperate, were sent to the road to farming. Under the unified management of the officers, they began to farm.
The Navy of the Xiaoguo Army was also dispatched to the southern end of Xiping Prefecture, echoing the Navy Camp of Haizhou Prefecture.
Xuzhou Zhang Yu wanted to join forces with Zhao Xun, but was rejected by Zhao Xun. He had not thought about raising the banner of rebellion yet. But at the same time, he agreed to trade with Xuzhou and even provided some weapons, war horses and other items for the Xuzhou army.
After giving detailed explanations with the three generals, Zhao Xun began to return with his personal guard camp.
