In addition, raising horses costs a lot of money and grain, but the imperial court refuses to increase the money and grain for the war horses that the border army gets by themselves, and only asks the localities to solve it themselves.

The people at the border pass have long suffered from the border trouble of the Liao State going south to "hit the grass valley", the little grain and property harvested every year have been looted every year, the houses have been burned, the fields have been destroyed, the personnel have been looted and slaughtered every year, and the young and strong men and women who have been robbed have become slaves or tools for the Liao State to vent their desires. It was not until Zhao Gonglian was transferred to Qingzhou, commanded the armaments of the four military states in Cangbei, and severely attacked the disguised invasion and plundering of the Great Song Dynasty by the Liao State and weakened the border passes with a tough attitude, that this bad situation was effectively alleviated, until the situation has changed fundamentally.

Therefore, those who only know how to defend the city as a turtle with a shrunken head, sit in the city to enjoy themselves, and let the people in the border area be looted and ravaged by the Liao State in the south and driven away by Zhao Gonglian after taking office, the generals and important officials of the four military states should really die, and they should not just be demoted and transferred.

An important reason for the fall of the Song Dynasty was that the emperor, including the emperor, was suspicious and excluded from the meritorious and was too tolerant of traitorous ministers and criminal ministers, so that righteousness was not promoted and evil spirit was rampant.

None of the wealthy and powerful families in the border areas who were severely cracked down on and eradicated by Zhao Gonglian and the four military prefectures were unjustly killed.

Under the threat of the Liao army's iron hooves every year, they can exist safely and sit strongly, either traitors and traitors, or thieves who collude with the rotten government at the border to make disaster wealth in the border area.

It was precisely because of the border troubles that the population composition and number of the border areas were extremely unstable, the leadership order in the countryside was chaotic, and the local county government could not accurately grasp the population situation under its rule. The government is becoming less and less aware of the situation in the countryside, which makes it very convenient for immigrants.

But the people were very poor. After nearly a year of border opening, I have just had some savings. Zhao Gonglian did not want to increase the burden on the local people. The soldiers who were missing from the immigrants saved the military salaries and food transferred by the imperial court to make up for the consumption of horse breeding.

Make up as much as you want.

The shortfall also includes various financial and tax supply expenditures brought about by the opening of border gates.

Other northern customs offices, such as Hebei East and West 2nd Road. Hearing about the great benefits of opening the border in Cangbei, he also applied to the imperial court for permission. But when it was actually implemented, it had little effect.

The border checkpoints are open signs, but they still extort money from past merchants and horse dealers, and they can't be cured at all.

Because the upper echelons are just to make a fortune for themselves, and they can't control their own black hands, how can they control the lower sergeants who are convenient to stretch out their hands.

The contrast between the two has prompted the merchant groups and horse dealers to converge more and more to enter and exit the customs in Cangbei.

Zhao Gonglian and Zhao Yue brothers used this hand, plus the eradication of the vast land vacated by the wealthy and powerful households, and cooperated with the land policy of those who came to have their own land. It has attracted a large number of merchant groups and people from all over the north, especially further strengthened the absorption of the hard-working and war-daring northwesterners, enlivened and strengthened the economy of Cangbei, and had the foundation of money and grain to strengthen the army and raise horses, and also conveniently immigrated from this new base and passage in Cangbei.

The opening up of the horse government also has an extremely important role.

There is such a type of talent in the private sector.

Most of them are not outstanding, they have no roots, and most of them are poor and lowly, but they have a certain amount of force and knowledge, and they are bold. Dare to dare to do it, similar to Zou Yuan and Zou Run's uncle and nephew, but under the Great Song Dynasty system, no matter whether he is from martial arts or literature, he is a small bully in the countryside and villages and towns everywhere. In the local area, there are dozens or hundreds of younger brothers who follow and support them, and they have become the existence of local corrupt officials, corrupt officials, local tyrants and shoddy gentry who are unwilling to provoke for no reason or dare not provoke casually.

The local forces did not provoke them, because they were afraid of angering and forcing such people to be angry, so they gathered people to kill officials and rob big households to rebel.

This kind of person knows that he is not capable enough. The family background is thin, there is no money and no foundation. If you don't have a good background, it's hard to succeed in any way. He is also disgusted with the corruption of the imperial court, the dark army of the society, and the corruption of the army, and he is unwilling to join the government as an accomplice or join the army as cannon fodder to earn credit for the officials, and he does not take this hopeless right path, nor does he want to easily take risks and fall into the grass to become a robber, and embark on a turbulent and dangerous road of no return, so he takes a group of younger brothers to live freely all day long.

In fact, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the Western Army that was disabled by the Jin Army and the villagers who dared to fight and organized by this gang of people to resist the Jin Army in order to survive and take revenge, and slowly formed a large-scale military organization, which stood up to the backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty's survival.

This kind of person is described as a historical term as "folk warriors".

Yue Fei was born as a warrior, but he was a junior who was recruited by the Southern Song Dynasty court after discovering the official naming of this available power of the people.

The Zhao brothers want to get this kind of person.

Most of these people don't have great skills and can't take on big responsibilities, but they are the foundation of the middle-level backbone of a brave and capable nation.

But in fact, it is extremely difficult to solicit.

Let's use Cangzhao's powerful commercial and economic means to solicit it.

This kind of person is basically a big boss, farming, hunting, gambling, drinking, playing guns, playing sticks, gathering crowds to make trouble, but they don't know anything about business, and they are impatient with this kind of complicated and meticulous affairs, and they don't want to do this business with a smile all day long.

I can't recruit it.

wants to hire him as a business guard to absorb and take him away in disguise, but he doesn't want to bow his head and listen to your call and detention, especially if you have an official background and suppress him. They don't care to be bodyguards, and they don't want to move to a place where they are unfamiliar and can't be comfortable with Xiaoba. Even if the living environment in the new place is better.

To put it bluntly, this kind of person still has food and wine to eat and drink in the local area, and can still feel alive with a head and a face.

This kind of person has no great ability, so he has no ambition, and he has no great knowledge, but he has a certain opinion, and he just wants to live freely and happily in the local village, not like a person with great ability, who is unwilling to be easily bewitched and has the ambition to find another way out to make contributions, and there are different kinds of good and evil, but evil is also good and good, but he has a certain prestige in the local area, but it is difficult to ensure reliability, and the Cangzhao intelligence network knows that it exists and can be used, but it cannot be agitated, nor can it leak Cangzhao's secrets to strengthen the persuasiveness of solicitation.

Still unable to solicit.

In order to implement the opening up of the border and horse administration, Zhao Gonglian deliberately asked the intelligence network to secretly spread the news in various places in advance, and publicized that where and which horse dealers had taken advantage of the open-door policy to make a windfall. said that there is a nose and eyes, and it is easy to make a fortune in Liao. As appealing as the lottery jackpot publicity in later generations, this kind of person finally got moving.

Who doesn't want to live a good life?

This kind of country tyrant also wants to have a lot of silver and spending. I also hope to be chic and show my heroism and generosity, and my face will be more bright.

If you go to Liaoguo to get horses, as long as you have the courage and martial arts, and there is no more than a group of daring little brothers to follow, you can make huge profits.

This kind of free and rough work that can make a fortune without having a foundation and doing it in a foreign country without violating the laws of its own country is the most suitable for people like them.

Zhao Gonglian saw that this trick was effective, and specially arranged for someone to skillfully train the first barge of turtles from all over the country at the inn to introduce the situation of Liao. Instructed how to steal horses and property in Liao, how to escape and hide to save his life, and how to sneak across the border of Liao......

The first refutation was naturally successful, the first fortune was made, and the scenery spread all over the country, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the wider the spread, the more it spread, the more it spread, the first fortune, the scenery spread all over the place, one spread the scenery and the other way, one spread the other, the more the spread of ten, the spread of hundreds, the more the spread of the wider, the more out of shape, just like going to Liao to steal horses and property and pick up, immediately attracted such people who hesitated to wait and see.

Another type of person that the Zhao brothers want to absorb is a horse dealer like Duan Jingzhu who took refuge in the front.

There are not many such people. However, they have traveled to the north, Western Xia, and even the Western Regions, and they have specialized in stealing precious and valuable money such as BMW horse breeds, and all of them are elites who can survive to this day.

Western Xia and the Western Regions are the inevitable targets to be conquered by the new kingdom in the future, but with Cangzhao's own power. Whether it is a commercial means, or a military means, whether by land. Or sail around Asia to the west by sea, which is difficult to reach inland dangerous areas.

If there are these horse dealers, it is equivalent to having the Western Xia, the Western Regions living database, living maps, and clever herdsmen and veterinarians. The role can be imagined.

Cangbei Ma Zheng opened a safe channel for such horse dealers to send horses to the Great Song Dynasty to make a fortune, which naturally attracted them.

I have been engaged in horse politics for nearly a year. By the time of the influx of refugees in eastern Liaodong, these two types of targets had actually been basically lost in their hands.

Today, these tens of thousands of people are either trained and served in the Cangzhao Northern Army, or they are separated to the South China Sea Islands to live in peace for the people, and by the way, they take care of the relatives and friends of the brothers, which also invisibly enriches the civil force and the spirit of strong force, and is more conducive to dealing with the South Asian monkey enemies on the surrounding islands that have not yet been occupied.

In addition, Cai Jing's bad idea of dismantling the useless Xiang army across the country to fill the coastal population and set up villages and tuntian to defend against pirates, arranged for the seven or eight hundred thousand Xiang troops along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River to kill the corrupt officers who continued to suck their blood, and rolled up the weapons and the food and money harvested that year, and Zhong Xiang and Ma Ling easily emigrated away, and they were scattered and settled in the South China Sea Zhudao and Langli, and the ocean-going fleet led by Zhang Shun of Baitiao conquered the Yuanao Island guarded by Zhang Shun, enriched the population, and strengthened the civilian armed forces to sweep away the natives of Ao Island.

The Xiang army settled on the coast of Jiangbei, such as Mizhou, has also been arranged and planned long ago, waiting for the defeat of Goryeo and the migration to strengthen the deterrent rule of the Goryeo Peninsula.

In this way, the border gate Ma Zheng and the immigrants have already knocked down the backbone of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if the new country does not eradicate Huang Zhao in the future, without the support of the people's armed forces, it will be difficult for Zhao and others in the Southern Song Dynasty to exist under the iron hooves of the Jin army.

As for the three major Kou of the Great Song Dynasty, the north, south and west, and the Erlong Shandong Kou that is being cultivated, they are alternative talent gatherers in the eyes of the Cangzhao Group.

There are many heroes who are forced to rebel by justice, desperate and want to mix up and choose to kill and set fire to be recruited by Song Jiang, and more are villains who are strong and fierce and ambitious and want to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty or cede land to claim the king or mix up with the founding heroes, but the common characteristics are all anti-Song Dynasty officials.

For this person, Cangzhao, who was dressed in the official skin of the Great Song Dynasty, did not have so much energy to find identification and distinction one by one, nor was it convenient to openly solicit a large number of people. Let the facts speak, and use time to prove which is the talent that can be appeased and absorbed in the future, and which is the villain that needs to be eradicated in various ways.

This wave of refugees from Liaodong brought a huge surprise to the Cangzhao Group.

Scraping away the elites of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Chao Gai's subordinates, plus the soldiers removed from the four military states in Cangbei, the strength of the Northern Army suddenly soared to more than 300,000, especially greatly making up for the lack of soldiers of the Ma Bu Army because of the great importance attached to the Ma Army, and it was more certain to sweep away Goryeo in one fell swoop.

Now, the Northern Army has begun the preliminary work of cleaning up Goryeo under the unified command of King Zhao Dayou himself.

Let's not mention this for now. Just talk about the Manichaeism of Fangla.

The Fangla Group is different from the other three Kou.

First of all, it is a rebel organization with historical origins and premeditated rebellion, which from the very beginning had the idea of overthrowing the Great Song Dynasty and rebuilding the dynasty and becoming the emperor himself.

Second, the three rebel groups of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Chao Gai were patchwork loose military organizations, which recruited and rallied the people's hearts with the righteousness of buddies or wealth and glory, and had no clear political propositions, political programs, and political goals, did not have a complete set of mature organizational division and management systems, and had no mass foundation, and were completely gangs of thugs to survive and fight the world with force, whether in the eyes of the ruling class of the Great Song Dynasty or in the eyes of the common people, all three were thieves and bandit evil forces that threatened their lives.

The Fangla Group has a set of mature slogans to attract people to join the religion and believe in religion, or to promote the common belief of pursuit, equality, equal wealth, common wealth, everyone in the religion is brothers and sisters, food, life pursuit of simplicity, etc., in fact, it is a primary political proposition, which is very targeted and attractive to the poor people, and it is tightly organized from the beginning, supervised and educated at all levels, and has been implemented to the grassroots people, with steady development, ideological unity, strong cohesion, and unswerving rebellion.

With such a rigorous rebel organization, it is extremely difficult for Cangzhao's powerful intelligence network to penetrate into the upper echelons of Manichaeism, no matter how capable you are, you must also undergo many tests when you join the sect, and slowly gain trust, and only with the guarantee of members of the sect can you gradually improve.

Such a group is difficult for outsiders to shake. Once it becomes a military bloc with weapons and military training, it will be very difficult to defeat.

Song Jiang's expedition to Fangla was defeated because he was not adapted to the climate, unfamiliar with geography, and also defeated in the unity and firm rebellion of his opponents.

Judging from the captured Jiangnan Sanshen and the 2,000 loyal Fang La, Zhao Gonglian realized that Manichaeism was not acceptable and could not be used.

Since Fang Labu is just a butcher's knife that destroys the foundation of Jiangnan's erosive rule from body to mind, it naturally can't let it get a large number of war horses and have the military power to conquer Jiangbei, nor can it let it have more cavalry to rely on so strong that Song Jiangbu can't deal with it at all.

In addition, I recently received the surprising news that Manichaean doctrine and growth strategy have changed.

Jiangnan people who were more and more unable to bear the frenzied ravages of Huashigang to get out of the predicament, the first choice was to secretly run to the coast with his family to seek refuge in pirates and immigrants to escape from the desperate situation, and to live the legendary but credible beautiful overseas life.
