Because of the victory of the Khitan Battle, the Xiaoguo Army was full of joy, and Zhao Xun wanted more rewards and requests for titles, and the soldiers of each army were even more happy. Although they also heard that the court could approve the titles.
He is not very talented, but the reward was given by Zhao Xun himself. In addition to the level of improvement, there are also slaves who give it, which is equivalent to a real title.
Seeing that the officials of various departments seemed to be floating when they walked, Zhao Xun couldn't help but shake his head: It seemed that he hadn't paid attention to them anymore.
"Lord, good thing!" said the government affairs envoy Pei Yi with a smile. Because he also received the real title of 300 households, that is, in the five Khitan palaces, their family could have 300 slaves there. For these slaves, they could have 300 households.
It is completely his private property and can be disposed of at will and graze them. This is a great thing for Pei Yi.
"Oh? What a good thing? Let's talk about it." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"The governor of Qingzhou surrendered, released the seized merchant, paid twice the goods, and also sent a letter of apology to the governor."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It seems that the victory in the Khitan scared him."
"Yes, I was really frightened. This is the goods of five caravans, plus three thousand Youzhou gold coins, twice that, that's six thousand gold coins. Now, that old boy Cao Bin is going to hurt for a while now.
.” As he said that, Pei Yi couldn't help laughing. At first, Pei Yi wrote a letter to Cao Bin, but Cao Bin ignored it. Now, he finally fell down.
After reading Cao Bin's apology letter, Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Since you have released the people and you have apologized for compensation, the army in northern Hebei will not need to go out. Just treat it as a training training, and the Youzhou navy will not have to go south.
”
"By the way, I remember that in addition to the Donglai Prefecture army, there are also Qingzhou Navy members involved in the detention of my Youzhou caravan, right? What do they mean?" Zhao Xun asked suddenly.
Pei Yi was stunned and shook his head and said, "This subordinate is not clear. We have not received any official documents from the Qingzhou Navy."
Zhao Xun raised his lips and sneered: "It seems that the navy in Qingzhou does not take us seriously at all."
"Do you want to send official documents to the Qingzhou Navy and ask?" Pei Yi asked.
"No need. Since we don't take my sign seriously, we don't have to stretch out our faces and let them hit them. Those who dare to touch me, hum... By the way, whose power is the Qingzhou Navy? Murong Cheng
Or Situ Lei?"
Pei Yi shook his head and said, "No one is it. The Qingzhou Navy has no support. He has independent relations with Laizhou Port in Donglai Prefecture. The entire Laizhou County is a member of the Navy. Outsiders can't get in at all. Maybe he is also with Murong Cheng and Situ Lei.
The reason why the navy did not value it. After all, the two of them were just fighting for power in the court, and they really didn't care about the navy army who relied on the sea to make a living. The money and salary required were mainly based on the collection of protection fees for merchant ships.
”
"Self-reliance and externality? Since that's the case, then you will be your object."
After discussing the operation of the Khitan Land with Pei Yi, Zhao Xun found Zhao Hai of the Shadow Department.
"You are now focusing on finding out the situation of the Qingzhou Navy, and they are our next goal of action. Your main task is to contact those Qingzhou Navy officers and try to bribe them. In addition, find out the Qingzhou Navy General's Navy's Navy General's
After finding out all the actions, make plans to kill him. If there are other people who can control the overall situation, they will also kill them." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun was interested in annexing the Qingzhou Navy. Although his Youzhou Navy was expanding year by year, it was still not as good as the three major naval armies of the Dayan Kingdom.
As expected by Zhao Xun and others, Zhao Xun's memorial for merit was not approved and was directly blocked. During the court discussion, both Murong Cheng and Situ Lei had objections, even the Imperial Party was the same.
There were too many meritorious people who asked for this request. In addition, although the five Khitan tribes were beaten, they fought for others at that time, rather than expanding the borders for the country.
Zhao Xun has not yet divided the Khitan realm into five prefectures and included it in the jurisdiction of the Xiaoguo Army to report it to the court. The main reason is that the division of the five prefectures can only be implemented after the establishment of another five cities, that is, this will take until next year
May, or even longer.
Zhao Xun can also guess what the reason why Murong Cheng and the Imperial Party opposed it, because there is a person here that neither of them can accept, that is the former Youzhou Governor Li Huaiyuan. Although Zhao Xun said that he surrendered and Xiao
Guojun defeated the five Khitan tribes. However, it was not allowed to change by the court. Murong Cheng was the mastermind of the four lost Youbei Prefectures, so he naturally did not want to have any problems with Li Huaiyuan, so he also stopped him.
After staying in Zhao Xun's intention to ask for a title.
In November, the request for the title was rejected, and only an encouraging decree was sent. Of course, there was no holy intention in this imperial decree. Although the soldiers had expected the decree of the court, they were really rejected now.
The south side was a little disappointed. However, this also made these civil and military officials lose confidence in the court. They could not even be able to determine rewards and punishments, so how could they talk about anything else?
In addition to the encouraging decree, the imperial edict also mentioned that Zhao Xun was asked to join the court to participate in the court fair. In addition, Zhao Xun was also the official general of Qianniu Guard. It was really unreasonable not to enter the court. Although Zhao Xun's current reputation was not enough.
He could deprive him of the identity of General Qianniu Guard, but it would be unreasonable for a general Qianniu Guard to not enter the court or camp for more than half a year.
After receiving such an order, Zhao Xun sneered and threw it aside. Join the court fair? When I am the governor goes next time, no one dares to touch me.
Now Zhao Xun is busy moving his father's grave. Zhao Xun now understands that it is no longer important to hide it or not. Anyway, he has faced Situ Lei, so there is nothing to worry about. Zhao Xun openly promoted his father.
The tomb was moved to the north of Youzhou City and was worshipped by the Zhao family.
Zhao Xun thought that the reason why Situ Lei wiped out the old subordinates of the former Prince Yingwu must be related to their elimination of the prince's control of the government, but these have nothing to do with Zhao Xun. Yes or not, Zhao Xun is not afraid of Situ Lei now. Besides,
Zhao Xun had never obtained any past events from his father.
That's true. After Zhao Xun's father's identity was leaked, Situ Lei naturally knew Zhao Xun's detailed identity and why Zhao Xun refused to deal with him. But when he saw that Zhao Xun did not promote his past, he knew that
Zhao Xun was not clear about this and did not do anything else. Besides, Murong Cheng also had information about the assassination of the former crown prince in the past.
At the end of the year, the patriarchs of the four Khitan tribes were going to visit Youzhou City to pay homage to Zhao Xun. Although they were extremely dissatisfied with what the Xiaoguo Army did in the Khitan grassland now, they had to obey.
In addition, the 50,000 troops that Li Huaiyuan supplemented did not go to Heishui Marine to operate. First, the Khitan area needed a large army to deterrent, and second, the cold winter had arrived, and the army was not suitable for marching and fighting. In addition, it seemed that the Khitan battle was won greatly.
The Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Marine tribes also became much more stable and their small movements became much smaller.
Heavy snow was rising, and the land in Youbei was already white. Even Youzhou City was covered with a layer of white brocade clothes.
Li Huaiyuan returned to Youzhou City with the army that returned with great victory, and the other two of the Sixth Prefecture Army stationed in Shunzhou Prefecture and the other two of the Marine Cavalry stationed in Li Huaiyuan's army and stationed in the Khitan grassland.
The army that returned with great victory naturally received welcome from the people along the way. There was no one to organize it, but there were still countless people cheering on both sides of the road in the face of heavy snow. The stronger the army, the more peaceful and stable the people's lives can be guaranteed. Military discipline
The better, the people will naturally welcome it. The Xiaoguo Army is satisfied with both, and is naturally supported by the people. Some merchants who traveled to and from the north could not help but compare the Xiaoguo Army with the troops from all over the country. After reading it, I saw it
, I couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of the lives of the people in Youzhou and northern Hebei.
When Li Huaiyuan came back this time, except for his subordinates, the four Khitan tribe leaders and the eight banners were all accompanied by them, and they all had to meet Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun personally brought officials to greet the north gate, and the four tribe leaders and the flag leaders of each flag also met the commander of the Xiaoguo Army. Seeing that Zhao Xun, the master of the Xiaoguo Army, was so young, more than a dozen people were secretly surprised, compared to themselves.
At this age, he was just a general who led thousands of troops.
After arranging the rest of the soldiers and the Khitan clan leader and the banner leader, Zhao Xun summoned Li Huaiyuan and the Government Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department to inquire about the Khitan tribes.
When arranging the division of the four divisions, these people had two opinions. Both opinions were related to the Fu tribe, which was originally a tribe of the Five Northern Alliance during the Khitan War, but under the guidance of Li Huaiyuan,
He went to the Southern Alliance. But no matter what, this person was not an easy person.
One suggestion is to divide it at the two ends of the south and approach Youzhou for easy control. It is best to be in the southeast, Youzhou Shunzhou Prefecture in the south and the Beihai tribes in the east. The west is naturally a newly built southern city.
Come on, the Fudi is surrounded by all sides. Even if he wants to make trouble, he will not be able to make any waves.
Another meaning is to directly arrange it in the north. It is mainly arranged at the northeast end. They will connect the Shiwei people in the north and the Hei Shui Mohe tribe in the east, which is the one that Zhao Xun originally planned to destroy.
Arrangement: The Fu tribe leader who is unwilling to be lonely or is resentful will cause some trouble if he is involved in two divisions, but it also gives Xiaoguo army an excuse to send troops. But the disadvantage is also obvious. One is not good, but instead
It will hurt yourself.
This suggestion is naturally the intention of the Military Affairs Department and the generals of each army. It seems that they were also tempted by this reward. Not to mention others, even Zhao Xun was a little interested. The gains from this battle are extraordinary.
Whether it is territory, money, livestock, or war horses, there are considerable seizures. In addition, there will be a steady stream of inputs in the future. At least, war horses are not short of war horse resources, at least.
The reason for doing this is because after the Khitan War, all the troops took back their tentacles, and the Shiwei people and the Hei Shui Mohe tribe even wanted to join forces to defend the Xiaoguo Army. If the Xiaoguo Army wants to take action, they naturally cannot be in the plan.
In that case, an attack on the Black Water Marine without reason may cause the situation in the north to become corrupt.
"My subordinates think that now our focus is to stabilize the Khitan realm, rather than seeking other things. The Khitan grassland is vast and is dominated by Khitan people. Although we have won, we have also controlled the entire Khitan realm. But that is all
In name, in fact, we did not form an effective rule. After our five cities were established and immigration was successful, and after the Khitan was stable, we wanted to attack other tribes, what reason could not be found?" Li Huaiyuan
He frowned and said. All civil and military officials saw the benefits from this place, but did not see the effort it took to stabilize here.
Zhao Xun was shocked. He only saw the benefits of expanding territory, the benefits of actual interests and fame, but seemed to have forgotten that this was not his territory.
Situ Liang also nodded and said, "Lord, I think what Lord Li said is very much. Only what is eaten in his mouth belongs to his own. There cannot be chaos in the Khitan territory. If we are involved in disputes in the north and there are changes in the Central Plains, we can
There is no way to dominate these places. Han people still need to immigrate, but many of the people we control have moved to the three eastern prefectures. The existing ones have stable property, and they will not easily stay away from their homes."
"It is good for soldiers to seek war, but they cannot blindly seek war, otherwise they will lose the big ones because of small things."
Zhao Xun originally only allowed 50,000 cavalry to participate in the war, with the purpose of limiting the number of troops involved in the expansion of the war. Unexpectedly, he was fascinated by the victory of this battle. He quickly reflected on himself in his heart, as a hero of a force.
Lord, you cannot make the wrong choice for temporary small profits.
Subsequently, after discussions between the departments, the Fu tribe was designated as a pasture at the southeast end, and they would be slowly digested after several years. The Daji tribe was the northeast end, the Hebian and Duhuo tribes were the northwest and the southeast end respectively. In addition,
Zhao Xun also ordered that the prefectures in northern Hebei start to collect incoming refugees and allow them to move to the Khitan territory and settle down.
"The responsibility of the Education Department will be focused on me in the future. All Khitan children must learn Chinese characters. The soldiers of the Khitan Eight Banners must also start learning men."
"Send people to use money and good things to buy generals from various departments to eliminate their will. For those generals and officials who still have ambitions, they will disappear." Zhao Xun ordered coldly.
