The four hundred and fortieth chapter assimilation of the party members
Chao Yong praised the great hard work of the master and said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in each department that can be used by me?"
Zhong Shidao reported: "The six states near Xingqing Prefecture summoned 30,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were cavalry, but the armor was all leather armor, and a considerable number of people did not have leather armor. Many bows and arrows were made by the tribe. The bow is not strong.”
Chao Yong thought for a moment and said, "First reorganize the troops and horses of various units, then uniformly equip the leather armor and captured Xixia bows and arrows. At present, it is mainly to defend against the invasion of the grassland ethnic groups in the north, and the bows and arrows of Xixia are enough to deal with the grassland tribes."
Mu Hongdao: "The Weifu Army Division of Heishan has 50,000 troops from Xixia to defend the grassland tribes. If they surrender, they should no longer worry about the grassland tribes."
Zhong Shidao shook his head and said, "We must not only beware of the various divisions of the grassland, but also the divisions of the Weifu Army Division of the Heishan Mountains. They are different from the divisions that surrendered near Xingqing Prefecture. The male members of the various divisions of Xingqing Prefecture were defeated by Li Ganshun and Cha Ge. Nearly half of the loss, and they were already accustomed to farming, they could only surrender to our dynasty and continue to live in the Yinchuan Plain. The divisions of the Weifu Army Division of the Heishan Mountain were closer to the nomadic peoples, and Li Ganshun wanted to guard against the grassland people but did not mobilize them. The people are kept intact. Even if they surrender to our dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not pretend to be grassland tribes and come to the Yinchuan Plain to rob.”
Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "I also heard the ferocity of these grassland tribes. In name, they are tribes under the jurisdiction of Shangjing Road and Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom. However, these tribes not only often plunder Xixia, but also Liao Kingdom is often disturbed by them."
Chao Yong did not consider this issue. He heard what Mr. Zhong said, it was really possible.
"If any unit dares to plunder in the Yinchuan Plain, then join forces with the surrounding units to destroy them. As long as we only have population and livestock, we can give all the units participating in the war."
Mr. Zhong said, "What do we want the population to do?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "They come to rob our wealth. We will let them create wealth for us. The domestic mines need a lot of people, so we can let them work in the mines."
Zhong Shidao nodded and said, "Shaanxi also produces carbonite. Open-pit mining is only hard and tiring. Underground well mining often collapses and explodes, and people often die in mining accidents. If they are asked to mine, it can reduce the number of people. I was killed and injured in the people of the court. I was afraid that this move would lead to impeachment from the censors in the court?"
Chao Yong snorted coldly and said, "Invasion of our territory is their fault. The people who were mates of the Song Dynasty have to do labor. What can I impeach? If anyone dares to impeach, I will let him come to the border to resist those tribes. ”
With Chao Yong's words, Zhong Shidao would dare to do things with confidence.
If the Emperor of the Song Dynasty promised him in the past, he would not dare to let go of his hands and feet. Because the Chinese people in the court like to do the most is to suppress the military. In their opinion, they should educate the people instead of slaughtering them, even if they were allowed to go to the border. No one dared to go if he was educated. The emperor of the Song Dynasty had never taken responsibility, but the generals of the Zhong family had learned a lesson. At that time, Zhong Yan was secretly ordered to take Suizhou, but although he successfully built a city, he was impeached by the censor to launch a border quarrel. The emperor did not dare to come out to take responsibility, and Zhong Yan was demoted to the fourth level.
However, Zhong Shidao can trust the prince, not only because Daliang has an average civil and military status, but even a slightly higher martial artist. Moreover, the emperor and the prince are both from the world. The people of the world are very proud, and the promises of the people of the world are more pleasing than the emperor's golden words. letter.
But Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said, "If there is an invasion within the Liao Kingdom, can we also attack the Liao Kingdom?"
Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "If it is a tribe within the territory of Liao, you can report to the court first. The court will question the Liao Kingdom and force them to kill the criminal tribes. The Liao Kingdom was defeated by us in the previous period. The northern front war was again
If we are in a hurry, we will never dare to offend us. Just a letter of state will allow them to work for us. If they cannot kill those tribes, it will not be too late for us to send troops again."
Zhong Shidao sighed: "In the past, when we fought against Xixia, whenever we fought until Xixia was unable to support it, the Liao Kingdom would jump out to intervene and give Xixia a time to breathe. Once upon a time, we could imagine that we could sue the Liao Kingdom."
Chao Yong said: "If there weren't a few clowns in China, when Yelu Yanxi invaded Hebei, I would have led my troops to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The Khitans stole the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for two hundred years and arrived.
It's time to return it. You must seize the time to train troops, especially the cavalry. As long as the Central Plains is unified, it will be the time when we take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. No matter at that time, we have to face the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom. The land of our Han people
There is no need to lose anything."
After hearing this, Zhong Shidao and the other two hurriedly stood up and bowed, "I'll get the order."
"After the court sends a governor and enfeoffs the land, recruit tens of thousands of Han cavalry. No matter how many vassals there are, we Han people must maintain strong combat power and martial spirit, otherwise we will be retaliated against by these vassals sooner or later."
In Chao Yong's plan, firearms must be controlled by the Han people, but before firearms can play a decisive role, the Han cavalry must also compete with the cavalry of various tribes. Although the Han people's riding skills are not as good as those horsebacks.
The people who grew up, but the Han people could use powerful bows and arrows and strong armor to offset the gap in riding skills.
Mu Hongqi said: "Can't the land of Xixia be distributed to the people?"
Chao Yong nodded and said, "The Central Plains has many people and few lands. Even if they are divided, each person will not be divided, and it will take a lot of energy to the court. However, the Yinchuan Plain has many lands and few people, so it can be divided evenly. More importantly,
It is because we want to completely turn the Yinchuan Plain into the land of our Han people, so we need to let more Han people come here to live. During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Lai Canal was built here to migrate the people to reclaim the land, but the number was still not enough. Although the Song Dynasty was weaker than the Tang Dynasty
, but it has grown more people. With the population of the Song Dynasty, I, Daliang, could migrate more Han people to the Yinchuan Plain and turn it into a real Han land."
Zhong Shidao said: "If the land is not distributed to the Dangxiang people, I'm afraid they will have any unfaithful intentions?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "As long as it is settled on this land, the court will distribute it to them. However, most Dangxiang people are not good at farming. Even if they are distributed to them, they may not be able to sell the land to the Han people again.
Of course, it would be even better if they could learn to farm. The court would encourage the Han people to teach the Dangxiang people farming and encourage the Han people to intermarry with the Dangxiang people. With our population, it would take no more than a generation, so we would assimilate the Dangxiang people.
In the future, the land on the border will be enfeoffed. When the court counts the area of arable land and determines how much land each person can divide, the people can move to the border. The Central Plains do not distinguish between land, and the hired farmers who have no land should be happy to come to the border."
