Chapter 635: One Country, Two Systems in Liao
April 1 is not April Fool's Day, but a great anniversary recorded in the history of the Great Song Dynasty - the commemoration of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
"Finally won!"
"Well done!"
"The Great Demon King really didn't cover it, the new army he hastily pulled up slowly matured in the battlefield, 700,000 against 900,000, dominantly reaping the fruits of the entire Northeast War."
"What about people, what about people, no one can support the Great Demon King on this day. He has been under a lot of pressure and has been criticized for a long time. ”
"That's right, those idiots who said at that time that 'you can't win the Liao army' need support."
"Say what's wrong with not winning the Liao army? In fact, before this, the Song army had not fought a few decent battles. And there is a certain basis for saying that the rule of the Liao Kingdom will not be worse than that under the rule of the Great Demon King. ”
"Laughing without saying a word, watching the spiritual Liao people with the sound of the Great Patriotic War Memorial Day. Damn, your Liao father's 90th Army was almost wiped out in the Battle of the Northeast, and there are still people with hard mouths. ”
"This is a historic moment, we are also the screws in this war machine, the miracle we have created together."
"The years of burning passion! Great Empire! ”
"I'm excited, so I've forgiven these spirits. They are just hard-mouthed and not confident, and they are not bad, several of them are people from our factory, they should work overtime, and they should also produce, although scolding and nonsense affect morale a little. But don't be too aggressive, and don't add political pressure to the Great Demon King. The more we chase these guys, the greater the political pressure and public opinion pressure on the big demon king. ”
"The horn of the counteroffensive has been sounded, and our Great Song Mechanized Corps is just around the corner to push it to Mobei."
"Fool, what are you doing pushing to Mobei, you pay for the fuel? The use of our soldiers to fight wars has a purpose, not just for the sake of coolness. ”
"I think that after pushing Yanyun, we can stop the army. Can't be ignored and unforgiving, the size of the Liao State is on display, and the entire living force environment has not suffered fatal damage. The difficulty of fighting the Great Patriotic War on our own soil is completely different from the aggressive offensive of the Labor Expedition. My son was in the Sixth Army, and I didn't want to see another big fight. ”
It makes sense that the slogan of the new army is not to aim at victory, but to guard the Great Song Dynasty from this dark journey and see the light with the attitude of a knight in the dark night. Now that we have basically seen the rainbow, the main task of the new army has been completed. ”
"Fighting, fighting, if you don't fight to the most desert north, it's not obscene enough."
At this moment, the whole country was boiling, all kinds of opinions, all kinds of discussions broke out in unison, and the only thing that was unified was joy.
Such a result is too unfamiliar to the Great Song Dynasty, and no one has ever thought that such a careless event would be the real rise of the empire, and the Great Song Dynasty officially won the hegemonic crown as a challenger and put it on his head.
People of the older generation can't help but be a little skeptical about the authenticity of these war reports.
There are too many people with chicken blood, which leads to the literati who don't like war, and there are all kinds of celebratory poems everywhere.
Almost all newspapers, both official and private, have uniformly publicized the victory of the Song army in the third stage of the Battle of Northeast China in the past few days.
The media is always more cunning and cunning, not as presumptuous as the people. The media did not know the next layout and policy of the Great Demon King, so they could only publicize the "victory of the Northeast Battle", but could not publicize the victory of the world war for the time being.
In fact, the living forces of the Liao State are still there, the Goryeo Peninsula is still intact, the Japanese islands of Kyushu and Shikoku are still in a state of occupation, the war is raging on Honshu Island, and the main force of the Western Xia is still fighting against the Qingtang area and the Hue Division.
How the Great Demon King will take advantage of the situation and get the main war dividend at the minimum cost in the follow-up, everyone does not know.
Of course, one thing is certain: the Song Empire officially entered a period when it would not die......
At the beginning of April, the Northeast Field Army Command ordered a number of group armies to fully cross the boundary river and begin to gradually advance into the Yanyun area.
Theoretically, the High Command had already received a suggestion from the Privy Government to "postpone" the advance. In short, the Great Demon King is a politician after all, so he may have his considerations.
However, the ingenuity lies in the "suggestion" rather than the order, so although the Northeast Field Army Command did not obtain the official authorization of the "Yanyun War", it basically took advantage of the contraction and vacuum period of the Liao people to advance the army to the line close to the Great Wall.
It is not a big problem to push here, and Ma Jinxi, who was born as a hooligan, and Quanberlin, who is known for his wit, believe that with the "Great Wall" as a symbol, the area south of it has been the land of the Han family since ancient times, and politically it will not be smoked by the Great Demon King. The Battle of the Northeast was a "self-defense counterattack" in the eyes of the imperial court, and the war authorized by the Privy Government was also a "Patriotic War".
It must also be here to be safe, after the Marine Corps Yang Xiaoshuang Corps landed at the cost of coming to Zhou, they ate Dading Mansion in Zhongjing Province, and at the most difficult time, their two corps were less than 50,000 people, and they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops from Xi Liubu and Bohai people in Dading Mansion without logistics, and the casualties were very large, the morale was very poor, and they were no longer too strong.
If the Song army cluster is not pushed here, once the Liao State has a counterattack, the Marines and the 25th Group Army of the Army will be easy to be dumpled. The intention of the High Command is to "take over" their two heroic corps here.
As soon as he came, he really began to repair the stoppage, temporarily achieved a balance, and waited for the results of a new round of political games in the imperial court, whether the Yanyun Jinglu War was fought or not, this was not within the jurisdiction of the generals......
As early as the beginning of April, under the mediation of the old fox Wang Gongchen, Yelu Hongji's diplomatic envoy entered Bianjing and asked for a diplomatic dialogue.
Wang Gongchen's participation is not surprising, he and the first three rows of Liao were originally friends. This can't be said that he betrayed the country, people in the diplomatic mouth are like this, and there is more than one person like Wang Gongchen who has the thinking of "accept it when you see it", in fact, many people have this thinking, including the Great Demon King himself, and they may not want to escalate the Yanyun War.
Because there is a problem, now that the ruling foundation of the Liao State has not been lost, their influence in Yanyun is still very large. It was a few decades later in history that the politics of the Liao State were really terminally ill, and the Song army still encountered endless street battles when they fought Yanyun.
To another extent, the "one country, two and one system" of the Liao State during this period has its own uniqueness.
Speaking of which, the Khitan regime treated other tribes very harshly, almost slave rule, and they lined up to shoot aliens if they didn't agree with each other.
However, since Shi Jingjiao peacefully handed over the sixteen states of Yanyun, because the size of Yanyun in terms of culture, economy, and population is too large compared to Liao, Liaoguo is the earliest regime in history to try "one country, two systems", which led to the formation of the north-south government system of Liao.
Nanfu is the management of the Han people, both officials and policies do not take the Khitan model as a custom, almost all copy the Southern Song Dynasty model, in addition to Yanyun's Han people governing the Han, in the "Yanyun Special Administrative Region" outside the Beifu field, also a large number of Han officials. Even because it is a political demonstration project, it is targeted and vigorously grasped, and the political efficiency and integrity of Yanjing still surpass some areas of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This is bad for the "Eight Banners" of the Khitan Eight Divisions, because their privileges and sense of existence are reduced. But for the national strength of the entire Liao State, it is more positive. Otherwise, without the production-oriented Han people in the Yanyun region, how could the Liao State maintain such a military size? How to establish land hegemony for a long period of time?
Objectively speaking, the hegemony of the Liao State in the early stage came from the support of the productivity of the Yanyun Han people. In addition, the emperor in the early stage was not too dim, which was the basic condition for the Liao State to accept the sinicization and the one country, two and one system.
Theoretically, the productivity of the Han people is much higher than that of nomadic herders.
Before Wang Yan's innovative agricultural and animal husbandry technology was gradually introduced into the Liao State, the whole productivity of nomadic herding was hunting and animal husbandry, the prey was limited, and the water and grass resources under natural conditions were also limited.
It has been estimated that when the nomads have no other productive forces, including cattle, horses and sheep, each population must raise more than five animals to survive, of which horses are counted as 1 base, cattle are counted as 1.3 bases, and sheep are counted as 0.6 bases. When the total base is less than 5, they will rob others, or pick up knives to kill the superfluous, so that the "land carrying capacity" can be rebalanced.
So theoretically, to calculate nutrition, each square mile of grassland carries 5 base number of livestock, and it must also be an area where the quality of the grassland is not bad, for example, the grassland of the Song Kingdom does not have this base. For example, the northernmost grassland of the Liao State does not have this quality, so the further north you go, the smaller the population.
In this way, the maximum number of nomadic herders is actually limited on the level of nature, as well as on the level of animal husbandry technology.
Even if the territory of the Liao State is awesome, at its peak, the total population of the eight Khitan tribes will theoretically not exceed 10 million.
The official "household statistics" of the Liao people are not even valuable for reference and can be ignored. But this is the maximum population of the Khitan Eight Divisions determined from the perspective of "conservation of energy".
But the Han people are completely different, the Han people live and settle down, love production, operate well, and even every 1.2 acres of land can carry a population. Therefore, after the Yanyun Han people under the preferential mode joined, the population carrying capacity of the Liao State was gradually greatly improved, and the population of the eight Khitan tribes had a great accumulation during this period. There must be a population to have an empire. Two million cavalry did not come out of nowhere.
The inference of the Great Demon King is that the Han people of Yanyun carried the rise of the Liao Empire in the early days. After the rise of the Liao Empire, it used military hegemony to suppress all parties, and fed back the Yanjing region to become the first trade center in Asia, sucking blood from all sides in order to maintain hegemony.
This is the Liaoguo model. In fact, it is the same as the thieves and eagles in later generations robbed people to raise the navy, and the navy served as a thug to escort and feed the government.
Therefore, the Yanyun region is undoubtedly the first core interest of Liao. Theoretically, it is impossible to give up such a core area before the death of the country. Although the Southern Song Dynasty came to "look north to the return of Yanyun", to this day, this is not the first core interest of the Song Kingdom.
Therefore, the Song army advanced too quickly during this period, although it was not considered aggression, it was not difficult to solve politically. But how serious would the street fighting between the Hermes-epitek and the Song army themselves be in the Yanyun area? For the sake of the first core interests of the Liao State, how much will their sworn resistance be? The Great Demon King can't effectively judge this point for the time being.
So it took time to consider the gains and losses of the Yanyun War. Yanyun must take back, but of course it is best to settle peacefully, but that will take time to detour, negotiate, probe, propaganda and other all-round tactical cooperation.
If you force it to fight, politically the big demon king can settle down. But the biggest fear is the "quagmire of a large imperial graveyard".
Now that the Great Patriotic War has been won, the Song Empire has officially risen, and if it falls into a quagmire and encounters a chicken rib situation that cannot be won or lost, so that the rest of the bad guys and small countries can breathe and watch, lose the best opportunity to harvest them to establish hegemony, and lose the reputation of the "empire on which the sun never sets", then the gains outweigh the losses.
Based on these thoughts, the Great Demon King has his own problems. When he learned that the Northeast Field Army Command had pushed part of the army to the front line of the Great Wall, the Great Demon King also jumped up in fright, and urgently issued a document to the Command: Suspend the advance and wait for the order.
At the same time, it is demanded that propaganda be quickly launched in the occupied areas, that the discipline of the Song army be strictly enforced, and that all servicemen who take every stitch from the people in the occupied areas be expelled from the army. But anyone who commits adultery with a woman, or a crime of the same level, regardless of rank, no matter how much merit he has in the Great Patriotic War, will be decided!
It is strictly forbidden for the Song army to interfere in the living habits, speech, behavior, production and other activities of the people in the occupied areas, and it is strictly forbidden to participate in all the affairs of the people in the occupied areas.
For the time being, it is mainly focused on oral propaganda, but it is strictly forbidden to be a bad person, and it is strictly forbidden for the Song army to spread out and go deep into the grassroots. It is strictly forbidden for the Song army to patrol less than the "capital".
These are the red lines set by the Great Demon King in the new era.
It's not that the Great Demon King doesn't want to occupy the area, but now the morale of all units of the field army is bursting, and the people in the occupied area don't understand the temper and characteristics of the Song army. In this situation, centralized verbal propaganda is fine, but it is very taboo for the Song army to go deep into the grassroots after being singled.
Because the people in the Yanyun area do not understand and are afraid, this mentality is prone to out-of-line behavior, if any self-defense counterattack triggers a large-scale street battle, for example, several Liao children are afraid of the newborn calf mentality, and stab the Song army together, once the self-defense counterattack starts, it is difficult to contain, and the Yanyun strategy will officially enter the runaway link.
People hurt each other because they don't understand. Once the Song army is alone and loses the supervision of his teammates, the Song army itself may have out-of-character behavior to intensify the contradictions, and it may also cause the Liao people to take risks because of the "single". This is the psychology of the Great Demon King.
On the other hand, don't be bad people for the time being, and don't care about their business. At least in the establishment of the capital, in addition to the mutual group supervision within the Song army and the prevention of major outrageous behaviors, the Liao people with a fluke mentality will also be greatly reduced and converged.
Yanyun is dominated by Han people, and Han people are not barbarians, but they also need a "course of disease" to run in with each other and try to understand each other. When the first-line sergeants are inexperienced and lack control, it is not recommended to pull out the seedlings to help them. This is the strategic requirement of the Great Demon King in this period.
These are not suggestions, but red lines and orders, completely cutting off Ma Jinxi's thoughts of touching porcelain. Otherwise, as soldiers, of course they want to rush with guns, and they also want to fight to Mobei to be the emperor of Yelu Hongji. These thoughts are understandable in military personnel, but as a qualified politician must break off their thoughts.
How many people will be killed for these disciplines this time? The Great Demon King didn't know either, but Li Zicheng was not as instigated as them when he attacked, but he planted it because he couldn't control himself after gaining power.
Undoubtedly, from then on, the Great Demon King is destined to bear the reputation of "cleaning the heroes of the national war", which is indeed the custom of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. But it is the responsibility and obligation of the country's leaders to seek their own power in their positions. Sometimes great benevolence is unkindness.
In addition to sending new Privy Council officials to form a military discipline inspection group to be stationed in the north, the Great Demon King also issued intensive documents, demanding that all armies vigorously grasp the construction of military work style and carry out criticism and self-criticism.
The big demon king said: If there are mistakes, we must not cover them up, we must admit them, we must rectify them, and we must correct them. Since I started, I have often admitted my mistakes in public, and you represent me to a certain extent, so don't put more pressure on me, don't let me have to do something difficult, and don't let my governing career leave a big stain.
"The last thing I want in my life is to watch my brother commit a great crime, and as a judge, I have to increase the sentence!"
This sentence is the ending of the private letter written by Wang Yan to Mu Guiying, Ma Jin, Siquan Berlin and others during this period......
