Chapter 783: Old Things (3)

Generally speaking, after Feng Xuan led the Yongzhou marching army to recover the Hetao Plain on the south side of Yīn Mountain, Wen Bo led the Hedong (Jinzhou) marching army to recover Yunshuowei and other prefectures at the northwest foot of Yanshan, and Li Xiu led the Heshuo marching army to recover the north, south, and north of the eastern foothills of Yanshan and Liaodong, the regular military operations on the northern front were almost over.

In these areas, the agricultural foundation is good, for thousands of years the Hu and Han people have lived together, not only a large number of Han people inhabit and multiply in these places, Zhuyi is also better integrated into the Central Plains civilization, and the Han people claim to be self-proclaimed, only after the end of the previous dynasty from the Central Plains.

After sending troops to these areas to recover, it will not be too difficult to establish an effective ruling order by using both strategies to calm down and pacify, and with more thought, it will be completely integrated into the territory of Daliang.

However, in addition to these areas, Mobei in the north, Hexi, Anxi, Tubo and other places in the west are all vast deserts, oases, grasslands or cold plateaus, and the territory is extremely vast, and at the same time, the remnants of the Mongolian vultures and their affiliated tribes, Zhuqiang, Tibet and other forces are mainly nomadic and nomadic in water and grass, and they have no fixed place, and they can advance and retreat freely, and how to carry out military operations in Mobei, Hexi, Anxi, Tubo and other regions in the future, expand the territory of the Great Liang Empire to these areas, and restore the territory of the heyday of the previous dynasty. It is a problem that is a headache for everyone.

Of course, first of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of the forces of Mobei and the remnants of the Mughal tribe, and to solve this problem, we still try to pin our hopes on the northern fugitive clan as much as possible.

Even if they can overcome all kinds of difficulties and achieve some military victories, the best result is probably to force the northern fugitives to flee the desert and migrate to the west and north to the wider bitter cold land.

And even if the Mughal remnants and the northern fugitives are expelled from Mobei, but many tribes on the Mobei grassland are like weeds in the spring wasteland, cut and grow, and come and go like the wind, unruly, how to establish effective rule in these bitter cold places in the future, so that they can truly become the territory of the Great Liang?

Although it is difficult, the General Staff Office has continued to send scouts to infiltrate Mobei to collect intelligence in the past few years, and Kong Xirong's interrogation of Wang Jingrong and other prisoners in Jinnan some time ago has also further refined the intelligence on Mobei.

At the end of the previous dynasty, in order to avoid the blow and persecution of Emperor Gaozu of the Great Liang, Xiao Yiqing led the Guanshan and Heluo Shi tribes to flee north in embarrassment and join the Mengwu people, and initially helped the Mengwu people to establish divisions and battalions in Mobei, and developed farming, smelting, casting and other industries, so that the Mengwu cavalry, which was originally brave and good at fighting, obtained stable supplies of grain, armor, ordnance, etc., and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

After the southern invasion, Wusu Dashi and Xiao Yiqing promoted the southward migration of the Mengwu people - due to the cold age in the past twenty or thirty years, Mobei became colder and colder, and countless people and animals had to freeze to death every year, and the Mengwu people were also eager to move south.

Although the children and families of the northern fugitives who initially fled to Mobei and depended on the Mughal people experienced tragic casualties in the process of fleeing, and the number of survivors in the end was less than 10,000, but for more than 30 years

In the past, through the recruitment of people from Yanyun and Liaodong, and under the promotion of Wusu Dashi, intermarriage with the Mobei tribes, the population has multiplied and developed to more than 40,000 people.

Compared with the more than 500,000 tribes directly under the central jurisdiction of the northern Mughal tribes, the total number of men, women and children of the northern fugitive tribe is only more than 40,000, which seems to be a little small.

However, these more than 40,000 people built the city and lived, still wearing Han clothes, without Huhua, and because of Xiao Yiqing's contributions, the organization and internal cohesion are extremely strong.

If they can accept the appeasement and belong to the big beam, they will be like two nails, firmly rooted in the two prefectures of the most core division and camp in Mobei, and will continue to reproduce future generations in Mobei, so as to completely turn Mobei into a land of Han clothes.

With the help of the northern fugitive clan, and then sending a large army to the north, the supply of grain and other bulk materials will become relatively simple, and even only need to send 20,000 or 30,000 elite cavalry and a certain scale of artillery troops to the north, which can relatively easily solve the hidden dangers in Mobei.

If you can't appease the northern fugitive clan, and without the help of the northern fugitive clan, it will be much more difficult to solve the Mobei problem, and it may even be difficult to solve this problem within three or five years.

As long as Mobei is not a problem and is completely incorporated into the territory of Daliang, it can lay a solid foundation for the next inclusion of the Western Regions into the territory of Daliang.

In the main hall of Liuyunguan, Han Qian, Wang Jun, and Zhao Tinger sat on the ground, and also invited Wang Jingrong, Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, and Yao Xishui to sit behind the long case in front of them and speak; Yun Puzi, Li Zhihe, Han Daoming, Tian Cheng and others sat on both sides.

Han Qian unabashedly said his intentions:

"When the previous dynasty was in its heyday, it reached Luofu Prefecture in the south, Xuanque Prefecture in the north, Xuanque Prefecture in the west, and Liaodong in the east, with a territory of more than 50 million square miles, but in the middle of the century, Mobei and the Western Regions fell into the hands of strong feudal domains, and the Central Plains was also a place where feudal towns were divided, and the momentum of the Tang Dynasty had long since disappeared. Although the old hatred is hard to break, even if you don't care about the broken mountains and rivers, you really can't bear to see the more than 40,000 remnants of the former dynasty in the two states of Shiying become lonely ghosts and wild ghosts outside the territory? In addition to knowing the message, Yao Xishui, you are also a disciple of the Li family, a nobleman of the former dynasty, and a widow of the Lu Wangfu, is it possible that you don't want to be able to correct your name and show your name to the people of the world one day? ”

Whether or not he can appease the Northern Fugitive Clan, Wang Jingrong is naturally a very critical role, but in addition to Wang Jingrong and Li Zhihe, Yao Xishui is not only the daughter of King Lu, but also her mother is also one of the three surnames from the Northern Fugitive Clan.

The current situation, to put it bluntly, is to give the Northern Fugitive Clan a step to accept the appeasement, and at the same time, it is also necessary to eliminate the vigilance and defense of the Northern Fugitive Clan.

Han Qian originally thought that Kong Xirong and they could capture Xiao Yiqing and Xiao Siqing's uncle and nephew in Jinnan, and make some articles from these uncles and nephews, but he didn't expect that after Xiao Siqing died in battle, Xiao Yiqing was also martyred for Wusu Dashi.

Then he could only pin his hopes of appeasing the northern fugitive clan on Yao Xishui and Wang Jingrong.

Wang Jingrong was a little impatient and wanted to kneel down to profess his ministers to show his service, but when he saw Li Zhihe, Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others all looking at Yao Xishui, they were also slightly stunned, so that Yao Xishui might be more irreplaceable than him at this moment.

Even though Xiao Yiqing and Xiao Siqing's uncle and nephew are dead, among the captured Mongolian generals, except for him, Luoyang is not without other choices, but compared

In terms of Yao Xishui, Li Zhihe interceded for her, but the weight was heavier than him.

Yao Xishui sat behind the desk stupidly, her heart was full of mixed tastes, and after a long time, she suddenly realized that the hall was completely silent because of her, lifted the ugly cloth skirt, moved to the hall, knelt down, bowed her head in front of Han Qian for the first time, and said: "Xie Jun gave Xishui the opportunity to make meritorious contributions......

"The secretary has selected some people from the disciples of the Late Red Mansion, Wang Zhe will arrange for you to go to Yanzhou to see Feng Xuan first, and then sneak to Mobei, and Zhihe and I will wait for your good news in Luoyang." Han Qian said.

The Hedong Camp Army and the Heshuo Camp Army will subsequently recover northern Jinbei, Heshuo, Liaodong and other places, and the combat tasks no longer seem arduous, but they are numerous.

In view of the remnants of the Mengwu North Court in Mobei, the military strikes in the early stage were mainly entrusted to the Yongzhou (Guanzhong) marching army; Yao Xishui and Wang Jingrong will also report directly to Feng Xuan, so they are asked to go to Yanzhou, Weibei to see Feng Xuan first.

The general trend of the world has been decided, but Han Qian is not afraid that Yao Xishui and Wang Jingrong will sneak to Mobei, and the tiger will return to the mountains and forests, and he will not listen to the call.

In addition to some young disciples who had been disciplined in the late Red Mansion, Han Qian also agreed that Wang Jingrong could select some suitable people from the disciples of Guan Jianglou and the generals of the Northern Fugitive Clan, and persuade them to go north together.

Han Qian wasn't worried that these people would backfire.

Even if these people can't be used, it will only delay the solution of the Mobei problem, but it will not affect the overall situation and process of his reunification of the Central Plains.

"Cherish the water, and you will not be disappointed again." Yao Xishui leaned down and said, at this moment, she couldn't believe that she would say such a thing.

"You get up and sit back and talk," Han Qian thought of Yao Xishui's various bad deeds over the years, and he was willing to count her down, but instead comforted her, "There is not much point in dwelling on the old hatred and hatred of the past. The northern fugitive clan, attached to the rebels, aided the abuse, and seemed to avenge the country and the family, but Yanyun, Heshuo, Sanjin, Hehuai, Guanzhong, which land is not the homeland of the Tang Dynasty that is being ravaged and trampled? And who is the displaced and died in war and famine who is not the remnants of the Tang Dynasty? Even if the country name changes, the territory of Daliang is not the homeland of the Tang Dynasty? The people of Daliang are not the remnants and remnants of the Tang Dynasty? The crown of you and me is the crown of the Han people? Of course, the old things have been revealed, and I will also issue a secret edict before you go north, pardoning the crime of rebellion of the northern fugitive clan, and on the Mobei grassland, there are tribes who are willing to be the people of Daliang, and you should do everything possible to fight for ......"

And Han Qian came to Liuyunguan, accompanied by Cao Zhe and Sima De, talking about these things that could be said to be top secret, and he did not avoid him buying them.

Especially Cao Zhe, Han Qian still hoped that he would see Luoyang's lenient policy to solve a series of problems left over from the previous dynasty, and hoped that he could use this to persuade Wang Yong, Jing Qiongwen and his father Cao Gan more forcefully, and strive to solve the Sichuan and Shu problems peacefully.

Han Qian was not stingy at this time, and directly gave a promise:

"Waiting for the water and the prince to send back the good news, the remnants of the previous dynasty returned to the Central Plains, and the knowledge will be on behalf of the remnants of the previous dynasty to be named the Duke of Tang and forever attack his lord; I have chosen the best place to build the Shu State Mansion in Luoyang City, so that Brother Wang Yong will come to Luoyang to reminisce with me. ”

Cao Zhe could only say at this time that he could not and was not qualified to give any promises to bring these words back to Chengdu Mansion......
