Chapter 554: The Grassland Divisions
"Father, aren't you angry?"
On the way back, Zhao Xuan was a little eager to speak, but Zhao Xuan said directly without any scruples.
"What are you angry about. There are hundreds of people of all kinds. If the old man can admit that the court's proclamation is reasonable, he has already called his father comfort. ”
There are too many strange things in the world. There are too many unreasonable people. It is impossible to explain the truth to everyone.
Returning to the large army, Zhao Gou first ordered people to find the accompanying ministers and clan children and let them attack in all directions.
Go and explore the people's livelihood and public opinion!
Then he also organized a team to visit the families of military dependents and martyrs, sent some firewood, rice, oil and salt, had more contact with the people, went down to the fields, and then went to the Yellow River construction site to inspect and inspect......
After a set of shows was completed, it was already June when I walked to Yanjing.
Five days later, the car drove out of Gubeikou.
Gubeikou is a side plug that many people in later generations have ears, and the full name of the Zhili Admiral in the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the Admiral of Zhili Gubeikou. This place is the easiest way for the nomads in and out of Yanshan Mountain.
As early as the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties set up a pass here. During the Li Tang Dynasty, there was a north entrance to guard and capture here, and troops were stationed. That is, after Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, Gubei eloquence was gradually abandoned.
After Zhao Song took back Yanyun, Zhao Gou made people start to rectify Gubeikou.
Rebuild the city walls, re-govern the city, dredge the roads, and build mountains. In just a few years, Gubeikou has been revitalized and has become one of the important ways for Yandi and Saibei.
Out of the ancient north mouth is the Monan prairie of the Liao State.
Zhao Gou was born inland, whether it was the first life, the second life, or the current third life, he has never really entered the prairie.
Especially in the past few years, I have stayed in the cramped Zhao Song Imperial City all day long, and I am used to seeing rows of houses and narrow and deep lanes. Now out of the Gubei mouth, look at it, the green grass is even in the sky, the fox and rabbit are running, and the vast prairie is high and wide. It really made him feel refreshed!
Others don't mention it, he himself couldn't sit still in the car, and rode the red rabbit sent back by the Western Expeditionary Army, a divine horse from Central Asia, Yue Fei took a lot of effort to catch it. The whole body is as red as coal, there is not a single stray hair, only a touch of white on the forehead. It's really like the legendary Red Rabbit.
Zhao Gou named it 'Red Rabbit'!
"The endless prairie is still a refreshing place to run horses. Mu Huogang is too cramped. ”
In addition to the guards, accompanying clans, and ministers, Zhao Gou was surrounded by some clan leaders from Saibei. Everyone knows what Zhao Gou is going north for this time.
Zhao Song's new policies on the grassland have long been spread throughout the south and north of the desert.
Large, medium and small tribes are all happy.
Yes, the great tribe must also show rejoicing, or you will be dissatisfied? Do you have other thoughts?
Who would dare.
In today's Saibei grassland, all the tribes are counted, and none of them can fight.
The reins in Zhao Gou's hand shook and lightly whipped. The red rabbit was originally an eagle in the sky, and after being caught by the Western Expeditionary Army, it became a bird. At this time, when he saw the grassland, he just took off the shackles, like a fish in water, Sa Huan'er went around in a circle, and ran away with a long hiss.
The others saw that their legs were clamped on the horse's belly, and they rushed over to escort the car at a gallop.
More than ten miles passed, where the horses galloped, several birds in the grass were startled and rushed out of the grass. When Zhao Gou saw it, he immediately took out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow, pulled it like a full moon, and shot it out with a "whoosh", and a gray and white bird fell to the ground in response.
Zhao Gou's archery skills are really not bad.
With great strength and high accuracy, even on the real battlefield, he can be a qualified archer.
Iron arrowheads, golden flower leaf patterns, poplar arrow shafts, black eagle arrow feathers.
Although his royal arrows were more fancy than the iron cones in his army, this could not hide his good archery skills.
The people who followed behind clapped their hands and applauded.
When the guards around him hurried to pick up the prey, Zhao Gou laughed and said, "Tell me to go down, tell people to bypass from the left and right, and drive all the beasts within the surrounding twenty miles to the middle." Then tell the ministers who came with me, all of them work hard, whoever has more prey will be rewarded. ”
A happy horse beating suddenly turned into a small hunt, and it can only be said that Zhao conceived one place and one place.
But there are more people in the world who want to think of one place as another, and the biggest difference between Zhao Gou and others is that he has the ability to realize his ideas.
That's the real thing. ,
As soon as the emperor gave the order, someone among the accompanying generals immediately shouted the order.
About an hour later, Zhao Gou faintly heard the roar of the beast, and immediately waved his hand.
Behind them, the ministers who had been prepared for a long time rushed out one by one.
It's not that all the ministers in the Zhao and Song dynasties are allowed to be civil and martial, but that there are good things at the top and things at the bottom. They have such an emperor as Zhao Gou, in addition to strengthening themselves and riding more horses and archery, what else can they do?
Don't you look at some famous Confucians in the Central Plains, they are already vigorously calling for the 'six arts of Confucianism'.
It's the same with the clan.
Zhao Gou's restrictions on the clan have also been relaxed a lot, and there are many more people in the latter group who take the official route, and Zhao Butry is their good idol. You can also do business, or follow Zhao Huan and them to work overseas, as long as you have the courage.
But for many close clan relatives, especially those cheap brothers of Zhao Gou, if they want to mix well, they really have to look at their cheap ninth brother/ninth brother's face all the time.
Therefore, this group of people is the most chasing the limelight.
Knowing that Zhao Gou didn't like that kind of weak scholarly anger, he also ran in the mansion one by one. Not to mention those little brothers in Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ji first asked the good hands of the guards to train them.
At this time, none of them have stage fright.
He who slapped his horse and whipped his whip went headlong into the front.
As for the leaders of the northern tribes who accompanied them, their enthusiasm was not weaker than that of those clansmen surnamed Zhao.
The clan relatives are counting on showing their faces in front of Zhao Gou, and they are so good. The clan leaders expected to shine in front of Zhao Gou, so that the emperor could give him a better impression.
Who would dare to say that this good impression will not be able to exchange itself for a bigger and better pasture after a few days?
At the same time as Zhao Gou and his ministers and soldiers slowly went north, a large number of patriarchs from the northern part of the Saibei clan also slowly gathered in Linhuang Mansion.
The latter is the place where Zhao Gou summoned the leaders of the various tribes in the north and south of the desert!
