Chapter 141: The Discussion of Sending Troops
This is because the news of Pu Hua, the news of the destruction of Puhua by the Khorezm army has already reached Daliao.
Although in the early years of Da Liao, the post road set up has been almost deserted. But the messengers concerned can't afford to ignore messages like this. And he hastened his whip, and in just two days and so on, it came to Balasagon and so on.
Although Khorezm's banner is counterinsurgency, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Khorezm is a drunkard who does not mean to drink.
After all, Puhua was under the rule of the Western Qarakhanid! Even Peach Blossom Stone Khan didn't react, what qualifications does Khorezm have to overstep his bounds.
What's more, Khorezm as a vassal state. Before sending troops, he should ask Da Liao for instructions. In particular, the Western Qarakhanid State was also a vassal state of the Great Liao. It is also the middle of the river area, which has a great influence.
This Khorezm advocated without authorization, and he simply didn't take Da Liao seriously.
Of course, this Khorezm's disobedience has long been showing signs. A few years ago, Da Liao had already seen the clues. The reason why he couldn't bear it was because this matter was not a big deal, and second, the upper class of Daliao were used to being comfortable and happy.
Gradually, the new Sultan Mahamat of Khorezm became more and more arrogant.
"Today's news from Young Eunuch Xiao, all of you Aiqing also know it! Now, what should you do? The Great Liao Sage Yelu Zhilugu sat on the top and said with a slight anger. Maybe he is used to the atmosphere of the grassland, so when he talks about it, he is not like the Central Plains people, chewing on words.
The Imperial Historical Inspectorate supervised the Imperial Historical Luo Yingdao and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty." This son of Mahama despised the prestige of the Great Liao State and did not respect the lord country. It should have been ordered to be pleaded. ”。 The north-south bureaucratic system practiced in the Great Liao. Among them, the official system of the Southern Privy Council was mostly inherited from the Tang Dynasty. Like this Yushitai, it is similar to the former Tang Dynasty. But in the end, it was not the traditional Han dynasty in the Central Plains, and it only inherited the Tang system, and lost its intentions. And there is a great deal of arbitrariness in terms of rank, authority and internal organizational structure.
The Imperial Observatory was under the rule of the Southern Privy Council, and was not directly ordered by the Holy Lord. As a result, the grade is also much lower. The former Tang Dynasty Imperial History Terrace's Taiwan Courtyard, Palace Courtyard, and Procuratorate were cut into Taiwan Courtyard and Procuratorate.
In addition, the same is true of other imitation Tang institutions.
However, in the past few years since the westward migration of the Great Liao, most of the Han official positions in the Southern Privy Council have been cut. On the contrary, it was the Khitan bureaucracy of the Northern Privy Council, which added many official positions that were suitable for the local people.
If it weren't for the fact that the Southern Privy Council had been controlled by capable ministers for many years, the Khitan nobles would have also joined the Southern Court. It is absolutely impossible for it to overpower the Northern Privy Council.
After he finished speaking, Dali Zheng Guo Huai also stood up and said: "Your Majesty! As the minister heard, Mahamat was quite unruly. In the old days, he concealed the Great Liao and privately used troops against the Kipchak departments.
Now the Kipchak steppe is under the command of Khorezm.
Therefore, the ministers thought that it was necessary to use troops against Khorezm to show the prestige of the country. ”。
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
······
Many low-ranking ministers began to express their opinions.
At this time, Yelu Zhilugu looked at Li Shichang, who was standing at the forefront, obviously listening to his opinion.
In the end, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and it was Li Shichang's highest grade. So his words also carry the heaviest weight.
Seeing this, Li Shichang straightened the court clothes sewn into silk, and said, "Your Majesty! Khorezm is raising troops and the situation is critical. For the ministers to seconded the righteous words of Dali, please Your Majesty immediately send troops to raise the prestige of our Great Liao. ”。
In fact, today's speech has already been arranged. Whether it is supervising the imperial history or Dali Zheng, they are all angry with him.
In the end, a few days ago, the news of Puhua's sudden change spread to Daliao. Only at that time, it was Sadr Jahan who asked for help. And the Great Liao has always only recognized the status of Taohuashi Khan in the Western Kharat Khanate, so Sadr Jahan is obviously not qualified as the lord of a city.
Da Liao directly ignored it as if he didn't know the news.
It wasn't until recently that Khorezm suddenly intervened in Pu Hua, which finally attracted the attention of the whole Liao.
Li Shichang also immediately set up people to discuss countermeasures.
Puhua is not only the second largest city in the riverine region, but also a bridgehead to curb Khorezm's westward advance. In recent years, Khorezmo has been moving frequently around Puhua. But because of the existence of Puhua City, there has never been a big achievement.
Its military significance is self-evident.
In addition, Puhua is an important commercial town that communicates the East and the West, and if this place is occupied by Khorezm, the commercial lifeline of Daliao will almost fall into the hands of Khorezm. Although the officials of Daliao are more greedy for pleasure as a whole. But they are not stupid in their brains, and they are not blind in their eyes. I still know the pros and cons of this.
Therefore, economic interests cannot be ignored.
In addition, Puhua's annual tribute to Da Liao accounted for about one-third of the total taxes paid by the Western Karakhanid. Such a large amount, if it is lost like this. For Da Liao, it is definitely a big loss.
It is a blow to the great Liao Guowei.
Finally, Puhua City was in the interest of the majority of the courtiers. Because the Qihe region directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Liao and the riverine region of the Western Karakhanid State have always been the main trade routes between the east and the west. Its commercial taxes have always accounted for a large proportion of Daliao's taxes.
Therefore, the courtiers of the Great Liao, almost all of them participated directly or indirectly in commercial activities while being officials. Isn't the former privy envoy of the Northern Court Mahmut Terbai just relying on commerce to make his fortune? If they still want their property to be controlled by others, then Pu Hua must be brought back to the control of the Great Liao.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was official or private, the officials of the Great Liao Dynasty present had no reason to object.
So as soon as Li Shichang's voice fell, all the court officials once again echoed it. Even the Hui faction, which has always been at odds with Li Shichang, also came forward to support it.
Seeing this, Li Shichang was greatly satisfied.
Ever since he learned that Mahmut wanted to use Princess Hun to clear the way for his recovery. Li Shichang made countermeasures against the targeted.
It was also Mahmut who was confused, and he secretly changed the day and changed his son from Dakur early.
You know, this is a great crime of deception. According to the law of the Great Liao, it is necessary to exterminate the whole clan.
With such a big handle, Li Shichang naturally has to make good use of it. Before Yelu Zhilugu returned to Beijing, he deliberately made people high.
Then, with the speed of thunder, he captured Mlatili alive. As a result, the evidence is conclusive, and people can't gossip.
Even if Yelu Zhilugu wanted to take sides, he couldn't find a suitable reason.
In this way, Mahmut Tebai was completely kicked out of the court. All official positions and titles were dismissed.
This is still Yelu Zhilugu's affection!
Otherwise, such a crime of deceit. The Mahmutebai family, old and young, are all going to be buried with them.
