…

The land east of the river, inside the mountains and rivers, is full of dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The garrisons of Taiyuan Mansion and Daizhou constituted the first north-south longitudinal in-depth defense system on the Hedong Road.

Taiyuan City is the core of this defense system, and it can also be said to be the heart of Hedong Road.

After Cai still arrived in Taiyuan City, he never went forward.

Of course, Cai is still not afraid of war and does not dare to go into danger, but he must sit here to ensure that the people he wants to bring to Yundi and the things he wants to transport to Yundi can all arrive in Yundi as scheduled.

Let's not talk about it, the people Cai still wants to bring to Yundi and the things he wants to transport to Yundi are related to Cai Ying's future fight against the country, and it is related to Cai Zhen's future competition for the world.

Let's just say that in order to win this vital war, Cai still has to do it.

When fighting a war, it is not only the army that fights, but also grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials.

And in this era, it is very difficult to transport so many things, otherwise Cai still can't take 100,000 people, use thousands of big ships, tens of thousands of carriages, 20,000 rooster carts, and send Chen Yu, Zhang Kai, Hu Shijiang, Qiu Yi, Tang Zhong and other capable officials to transport these things.

Moreover, Cai still began to prepare for it a few months ago.

But even so, as of now, even a third of the things Cai still had to bring have not been transported to Taiyuan City.

In order to ensure that he can have sufficient capital to compete in the world, in order to ensure that he can win this battle, if he does not find a safe place to settle in Yundi, and does not transport all the materials he wants to bring to Yundi, Cai will never leave Taiyuan City.

……

Taiyuan.

Preparation Division.

General Hu Shijiang was not without worries: "Xianggong, isn't it a bit ...... to completely hand over the front-line affairs to Wu and Yue Not very secure? According to the lower officials, it would be better to send a civil official to lead this battle, right? ”

Hu Shijiang was not targeting Wu Jue and Yue Fei, but the Zhao and Song dynasties had always had this tradition, and they always believed that only civilian officials could serve as commanders, and only civilian officials could command military attachés safely.

In fact, a very important reason why Cai is still able to serve as the envoy and commander of the Hedong system is that Cai is still a literati.

Cai still said to the left and right: "This battle is very important, we must not focus on infighting, we must not be unclear, and we must not go all out to ......"

Hu Shijiang was speechless for a moment!

Cai still ruthlessly uncovered the fig leaf of the Northern Song Dynasty?

In this way, it is useless and meaningless to say anything, because the main reason for sending civilian officials to command military generals is because those in power do not trust military generals, and it is not really because civilian officials are better at fighting than military generals.

Therefore, Hu Shijiang, who was ready to recommend himself, could only swallow back what he wanted to say.

Cai still continued: "Moreover, Yue Pengju and Wu Jinqing are both handsome talents that are rare in a century, I believe in them, and I believe that they will complete the task I gave them." ”

Seeing that this matter could no longer be changed, the civil officials could only put the matter aside for the time being and wait for the further development of the matter.

Li Gang was the first to change the topic and said: "It has been nearly two hundred years since the land of Yanyun was ceded to the Khitan, how can the people of Yandi and the Khitan Emperor not have the relationship of father and son?" If we want to gain a foothold in Yundi, we must have no offense against the people and have correct political opinions. ”

Cai still thought so, and then glanced at the crowd of scholars, and finally stopped his gaze on Qiu Xi, and said, "Tairan, come here." ”

When the enemy heard this, the Yue people stepped forward and bowed: "I don't know what the prime minister commands?" ”

Cai still didn't immediately reply to Qiu Xi, but scanned the crowd of ministers again, and finally stopped his gaze on Shu Yong, and said, "Ziyuan, you come over too." ”

When Guo Yong also stepped forward, Cai still said: "You two are ready, I will send you to take over Yingzhou and Shuozhou in the near future." ”

As soon as Cai still said this, everyone thought in unison: "Is Cai still so confident in Wu Jue and Yue Fei?" How could he be sure that Wu Jue and Yue Fei would be able to recover Yingzhou and Shuozhou? ”

Qiu Yi and Shu Yong are not people who are prone to mood swings, and although Cai still promised them the position of the prefect in charge of a state, after all, it is still a shadowless thing, and they can't do much, so they bowed to them officially: "No." ”

As soon as they saw Qiu Wei and Guo Yong's appearance, Cai still knew that they didn't believe that Yue Fei and Wu Jue would soon be able to conquer Yingzhou and Shuozhou.

Cai still doesn't care, because time will prove all this to Qiu Yi and Guo Yong.

In addition, Cai still has confidence in Qiu Yi and Guo Yong, and he believes that with the ability and reputation of these two people in history, even if they don't believe what they say, they will never be unprepared, otherwise, they are not worthy of being passed down through the ages.

Cai still instructed directly: "You have to remember the following points......

Really!

Although they didn't quite believe what Cai still said, Qiu Yi and Guo Yong still listened to it as soon as possible.

Obviously, Qiu Yi and Guo Yong were ready to carefully write down every word Cai still said.

Cai still didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "First, you must firmly monitor every move of the officers and men of the Jinwu Army, if they have any behavior that violates the military law of our Jinwu Army, you must notify the Military Judge Advocate Department to deal with it as soon as possible, if the Military Judge Advocate Department dares to engage in favoritism and malpractice, delay and neglect, you must tell me at the first time, I will definitely deal with it severely, in short, no matter who it is, you must never disturb the people, no matter who it is, if you disturb the people, you will be severely punished." ”

In fact, needless to say, Cai is still ready to build Yanyun as his own place of dragon prosperity, how can people ruin their reputation, and then ruin their own good deeds? Moreover, Cai is still very confident in the Jinwu Army he has built, and he believes that the soldiers of the Jinwu Army will not do anything out of the ordinary.

However, in view of the fact that the literati of the Song Dynasty were willing to meddle in the army, Cai still gave Qiu Yi and Guo Yong a preventive shot first, and taught Qiu Yi and Guo Yong how to get along with the soldiers of the Jinwu Army, that is, they could not meddle in the affairs of the army.

In fact, a long time ago, Cai still began to strictly control the separation of military and political affairs, he did not allow soldiers to interfere in politics, nor did he allow his civilian officials to meddle in the affairs of the army, that is, if he led the troops, he was not allowed to lead the troops.

Moreover, this is also one of the iron laws of Tsai's future governance.

Li Gang and other civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty had just followed Cai Yi, so Cai still had to hand them over the rules first, lest they not be able to grasp the direction and then do bad things.

Qiu Wei and Guo Yong are not too strong people, and they are not very enthusiastic about commanding troops to fight, the key is that they have heard some of Cai Ying's rules and are prepared.

Therefore, Qiu Yi and Guo Yong didn't argue with Cai still about anything, and directly responded: "No." ”

Cai still said: "Article 2, whether it is the Han people, or the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Zhubu and other colored people, within ten days to change my Hanfu, and keep my hair within three months, if you don't change or keep your hair, you will be warned once, and you will be killed directly for the second time!" ”

This is nothing to discuss, you don't even want to change your clothes, you don't even want to keep your hair, in other words, you don't even want to perfunctory me, obviously you have no intention of surrendering, for this kind of stubborn person, don't kill him, do you keep him to rebel against yourself everywhere?

Everyone felt the murderous aura in Cai Ying's words, and then felt related, and said secretly: "This Cai Xianggong is really the person who climbed over on the corpse mountain and waded over in the sea of blood, what a big evil spirit!" ”

But—

There are also people who understand Cai still.

If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and Rong Di will not be the same as Hua.

If these foreigners are not turned into real Han Chinese, they will inevitably make endless trouble, endlessly.

In fact, not only those foreigners, but even Yanyun's Han people, that is, Han'er, cannot be fully trusted for the time being.

Han'er was originally the name of the Han people by ethnic minorities, such as the poem in the Han Le Mansion that says: "I am a prisoner of the family, and I don't understand Han children's songs." There are also poems in the Tang Dynasty: "The Han is full of Hu'er language, but he scolds the Han to the city." Verses.

Originally, the word "Han'er" was synonymous with the Han people, and there was no positive or negative connotation.

After the Liao State acquired the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, especially during the confrontation between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, the names of the Han people belonging to the two countries began to change between the Liao and Song Dynasty.

The Liao people called the Han people in the Song Kingdom Nanren, and the Han people in their own country called the Han people.

The Song people also called the Han people in the Liao State Han'er, and sometimes called them Fanren.

In short, historically, the Liao, Song and later Jin kingdoms all unanimously called the Han people in the Yanyun area Han'er.

This indicates that Han'er has evolved into a special name with a contemptuous tone, and it also reflects the distrust of Han'er in the Liao, Song, and Jin states.

However, due to the distrust of the Liao, Song and later Jin States, the Han Dynasty not only became increasingly isolated in terms of national identity, but also did not have a fixed tendency in political attitude, not as Zhao Jijunchen thought "heart to the Central Plains", but centered on interests, chose the side that was beneficial to themselves, and rebelled back and forth between Liao, Song and Jin, with a very flexible political attitude.

Take Guo Yaoshi, who played an important role in the shame of Jingkang, as an example, he is a typical Han'er, Liao Qiang works for Liao, Song Qiang votes for Song, Jin Qiang votes for Jin, has no fixed political position, sells the original owner, and is not soft at all.

Moreover, after Guo Yaoshi surrendered to Zhao and Song, he refused to change into Hanfu, and always wore Liao clothes, and said that he did not forget the old master, I!

Cai still doesn't want to be as stupid as Zhao Ji to believe such nonsense.

Therefore, no matter who it is, just refuses to wear Hanfu, refuses to keep hair, and doesn't say it, kill!

Qiu Yi and Guo Yong also knew that Yan Yun had a special situation there, and he had to use some extreme methods to govern it, and besides, just change his clothes and grow some hair, if he was guided correctly, it should not cause too much killing, and if there were really those who refused to change their Hanfu and keep their hair, it was inevitable to be killed.

Therefore, Qiu Yi and Guo Yong quickly responded: "No." ”

Cai still said: "Third, you must guide correctly, treat the non-extreme foreigners as our people, do not engage in specialization, and treat everyone under your rule fairly and justly." ”

When Qiu Yi and Guo Yong heard this, their hearts were suddenly relieved, and they said in their hearts: "Fortunately, Xianggong is not a domineering policy, but a combination of grace and power, which is the real way to govern the people." ”

Qiu Yi and Guo Yong responded convincingly: "No." ”

Cai still said: "Fourth, we must try to respect the beliefs of all ethnic groups, as long as their religion is under our control, as long as their religion does not transmit radical ideas, does not do things that violate laws and disciplines, and teaches people to be good, we should not interfere with them too much. ”

Belief in this kind of thing is forbidden and cannot be forbidden, and it can only be correctly guided and given a certain tolerance, so that there will be no extreme confrontation.

Qiu Yi and Guo Yongying said: "No." ”

Cai still said: "Fifth, remember, we can't win the support of all strata, our foundation is the ordinary people, so we must conduct a public trial of those who are traitorous and evil, and during the public trial, don't be soft on those wealthy families and nobles with bad deeds, and don't need to consider political or other factors, of course, for those good wealthy nobles, we must also do nothing in the autumn, in addition, don't feel sorry for the food because our food is not easy to come by, the war is together, it is bound to cause famine, we must give relief to the victims, and we must divide the fields. Regardless of men, women, and children, Khitan, Bohai, Xi, Zhubu, and Han people, as long as he is willing to ask for it, he will give them relief, give them land, and help them farm. ”

"Public trial?"

"Divide the field?"

Qiu Yi and Guo Yong looked confused: "What is a public trial?" What is a division? ”

Cai still didn't give an answer immediately, and only said vaguely: "I will send a special person to be responsible for this matter, you just need to pay attention to cooperate......
