Chapter 160: Suspicious
In the south, there is Xin.
After listening to the spies' description, she was shocked.
Great Xia was defeated, and the whole army was annihilated, he had thought of countless possibilities before, but the reality was often so unbelievable.
Wuhai is a person, he knows, although this person is not a general who can fight well, but he is not a straw bale.
led a thousand elites, and was actually defeated by a tribe composed of fugitive slaves.
How is this possible, this is simply a ridiculous joke.
However, after calming down, Ji Bian began to think about the consequences of the defeat of Great Xia.
According to Ji Qi's temperament, he will definitely not let go of that tribe easily.
The next attack is likely to evolve into a crusade on the scale of the Yuhu clan.
But Ji Bian didn't want to sacrifice the elite power of the tribe for the benefit of Xia Qi.
The crusade against the Youhu clan has already broken its muscles and bones, and once again, the tribe has not wanted to recover for several years.
Great Qi defeated the Great Xia army, although it shocked him greatly, but Xi Bian still only admitted that this tribe had a certain strength, and there were many reasons for the defeat, maybe Wuhai was very likely to underestimate the enemy's rash advance, resulting in his own defeat.
What he was most worried about was that if this tribe colluded with the two tiger and wolf tribes of Dongyi, they would collude with each other.
This war is not just a crusade against the Youhu clan.
The leader of the Dongyi election that Xia Qi killed had completely stiffened the relationship between the two clans, and he was counting on these two tribes to crusade against Daqi, unless they had a bad brain.
It is very likely that when the Great Xia army is besieging Daqi, Dongyi will take advantage of the situation and directly take the old nest of the Queen of Xia, and this possibility is extremely high.
After figuring out the key to this, Xi Bian calmed down, if Xi Qi didn't go crazy, he shouldn't be able to crusade against this tribe in a short time.
As for how to deal with it, it's none of his business.
Although these people in Daqi escaped from his Xin clan, but now they have seen it, it's not that he has the negligence of the Xin clan, it's really a traitor who is cruel and cunning, don't you see that the boss Xia Qi has been defeated?
Ji Bian originally wanted to make contact with this tribe, but after thinking about it, he gave up this unrealistic idea.
The master befriended the former slave, and this spread would not only make the rest of the clan laugh off their big teeth, but also more likely to provoke Xia Qi.
Ji Bian decided to ignore the tribe, pretending that nothing had happened, that he didn't know anything, that the sky was falling, and that there was naturally a tall one on top.
Qi Li, late March.
Outside Chang'an City, the weeds that had been buried for a winter had broken through the ground at this time, and from a distance, a picture of grass was seen near but there was no picture.
Under the gentle spring breeze, the peasants working on the banks of the river shouted trumpets and pulled the ploughshares hard.
We farmers have power,
Hey! We farmers have power!
Busy farming every day,
Hey! Busy farming every day,
Plough the wilderness farmland,
planted whole grains,
The world has changed!
Hey!
The agricultural officer personally came to the field to inspect the progress of farming.
I heard a lot of farmers singing this little song compiled by Yang Hao, sweating like rain.
The agricultural officer smiled, infected by the enthusiasm of the peasants, and hummed softly.
"The chief is right, labor is the most glorious thing."
Looking at the busy fields, the agricultural officer was convinced by this sentence.
And Yang Hao's side did not have any joy after confirming that Nujiao was officially pregnant.
He thought that he would be very excited when he became a father, but he didn't want to have no waves in his heart.
For the three women now, he doesn't have the slightest feeling, he is suspicious, and even doubts whether this child is his own.
For this reason, as soon as he learned that Nujiao was pregnant, he arranged for a maid to monitor Nujiao's activities, as long as he found any signs of misconduct in her.
Yang Hao will definitely mercilessly break the female Jiao's corpse into thousands of pieces, he can bear the world, but he does not allow the world to bear him.
Thinking that his harem women would become shorter and shorter in the future, Yang Hao secretly formed a maid spy organization to take charge of the affairs of the harem.
And these people only see each other and don't know their identity, so they block the situation of collusion and deception to him.
The harem is like this, and Yang Hao is not 100% trusting of the foreign ministers, and he has the intention to form an organization similar to the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei to supervise the behavior of officials.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I can only put this idea aside for the time being.
It's not that he Yang Hao is kind-hearted, it's just that when Daqi is not completely strong enough to be invincible, in the face of the threat of foreign enemies, any move to shake the morale of the army is very unwise.
He didn't want the class to be solidified, because that would only give birth to a strong man who supported the army and respected himself.
Yang Hao has always been actively cultivating newcomers and using newcomers to disperse power.
For example, the four company commanders, their status is very high, but if they don't have Yang Hao's order, they can't even go out of the barracks, and the initial formation of the right to command troops and the right to transfer troops are separated.
With his limited historical knowledge of Yang Hao, he also has a vague understanding of the ancient methods of preventing self-respect by supporting troops.
According to his knowledge, in ancient times, the generals and mercenaries were self-respecting, and the fundamental reason was that they had stayed in the army for a long time, and they had roots and entrenched forces, which made their subordinates feel that the emperor was far away, and your influence on them was greater than that of the center thousands of miles away.
Because if a person becomes a military commander in a place on the first day, even if you are given great power, you will not be able to rebel the next day.
Supporting the army and self-respecting, everyone has no feelings, no intersections, no qualifications, which one is willing to do it with you?
Soldiers may look down on their new superiors, but they will instinctively salute when they see the old superiors, and this is the reason.
Yang Hao knew that in ancient times, it was nothing more than one to prevent self-respect from supporting troops: often changing the garrison, and not allowing him to stay in one place for a long time, making his protégés and old officials all over the place, and getting out of the house after three or five years.
The second is the control of the supply of troops, the local army economy must rely on the station, by the imperial court unified appropriation, can not let the generals in a piece of land economic self-sufficiency, self-sufficiency has always been the favorite of feudal warlords.
If you can do these two things, you can generally prevent the self-respect of the army, and I am not familiar with you, so why should I rebel against you.
Lao Tzu eats the food of the imperial court, and it is not given by your platoon commander and company commander, this work of losing his head, Lao Tzu has food and drink, rebelling against you, is Ya's head sick.
Now the Daqi tribe is tightly a city-state, and there is no environment for self-respect, but Yang Hao has the ambition to dominate the world, and in order to prevent trouble, he has to consider this.
After all, ambitious people are everywhere, and he doesn't trust anyone in his heart except himself.
When fighting the world, everyone is brothers, but after the world is peaceful, there are not too many things about monarchs and ministers turning against each other, Yang Hao chooses to take history as a mirror, and believes that thousands of years of historical experience in China will not deceive him.
