Wu Qing, Chen An, Guan Chao, Zhao Liang, and the four high-ranking officials all arrived in Liu Yong's Qingxin Palace. Liu Yong sat behind the case, and several people bowed down and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

"Get up!" Liu Yong said.

Several people got up.

Liu Yong said: "I have called you here today to discuss with you our strategy against the Tarslaves. ”

As the prime minister, Chen An was naturally the first to speak. I only heard him say: "Your Majesty, do you have any new ideas?" ”

Liu Yong nodded. He walked down the case, walked to the map and said, "Come here, all of you." ”

"Your Majesty." The four of them agreed in unison, and then walked behind Liu Yong and bent over to stand.

Liu Yong said: "I have an idea. ”

Chen An said: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Yong smiled, then pointed to the seat of the southwestern part of the Liyue Kingdom on the map, and said, "You see that the Liyue Kingdom was a vassal state of the Dahua Dynasty when it was the Dahua Dynasty before. But now it's a vassal state of the Tars, don't you think? ”

Of course, several people knew the reason for this, and replied in unison: "The ministers and others all know that the current Liyue Kingdom is a vassal of the Tarnus. ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Qing continued: "The minister also knows that the Tatar slaves have an army of 50,000 people stationed in the Liyue Kingdom. Moreover, the Tatar slaves were also in charge of the army of nearly 200,000 people. ”

After listening to Wu Qing's words, Liu Yong nodded and said, "Wu Qing is right. I really learned about this through Guan Chao. Guan Chao has done a good job at this. He presented the whole continent to me. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Guan Chao, and Guan Chao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has won the award, as the director of the Shenji Gate, these are all matters within the minister's responsibility." ”

Liu Yong nodded slightly, turned around to look at the map again, pointed to the part of Xiyue and said, "The situation in Xibu and Liyue is basically the same. It was also a vassal state of the Tars. After he finished speaking, he turned to face Chen An, Wu Qing and the other four.

And he said, "What do you think about the four?" ”

The four of them looked at each other

Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, these two vassal states of Dahua in the past have now fallen to the Tatars. Under the pressure of the Tatars, they did not dare to associate with us. However, as long as our Huahan defeats the Tarnu, then these two vassal states will fall to our Huahan. ”

Liu Yong nodded after hearing this, and looked at the other three people.

At this time, Zhao Liang, the director of the Strategy Department, spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen seems to have guessed Your Majesty's intentions. And this intention, Wechen has also been studying recently. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yong's eyes lit up. said: "Zhao Liang, you can talk about it." ”

The post of director of the Strategy Department is equivalent to the current level of an official at the level of a department, and it is higher than that of the governor of Cheonan Province, which is equivalent to the level of the current deputy department.

At the beginning of Liu Yong's establishment of the Huahan Dynasty, the original official rank system of the Dahua Dynasty was abolished. He borrowed some of the modern bureaucratic systems from later generations. From the senior officials, deputy ministers, to the department level, the department level, the bureau level, the bureau level, and then the department level and the last level. Suegu is basically an official below the county level.

And the treatment of these officials at different levels is also different, and of course their importance is also different.

It turned out that during the Great Chinese Dynasty, the rank of an official did not correspond to the position he served. In the most extreme case, it is possible that an official of the third grade holds the position of magistrate. But his salary is still distributed according to the grade of the three grades.

When it comes to Liu Yong, this is basically impossible to exist. Unless there are special circumstances. Normally, it means that the official position and official rank should match.

This set is much simpler than the official rank system of the previous dynasty. And the official uniforms of the officials are also somewhat simplified compared to those of the previous dynasty.

The front dynasty is a color to distinguish the size of the ranks. And when it came to Liu Yong, the officials' costumes were uniform, and they were all jujube red. What distinguishes them from their rank is the yellow vertical stripe on the collar of the official uniform, and the more vertical stripes, the greater the rank and the higher the position.

Without further ado, I just heard Zhao Liang, a department-level cadre, say: "Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about a question recently. The current external security environment of Huahan is very unoptimistic. The main reason, in Wei Chen's opinion, is the two places that His Majesty is referring to. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yong smiled when he heard this, and then said, "You go on." ”

Zhao Liang said: "Your Majesty, don't look at the two places of Liyue and Xi, which used to be the territory of our Han people. Because they are both vassal states, both economically and culturally, these two places are dependent on our Han people. And both of them have deep and extensive contacts with our Han people, and they are already part of you and me. The main thing is that both places were developed by the Han Chinese hundreds of years ago.

Moreover, during the Dahua Dynasty, the Liyue Kingdom and the Xijia Kingdom were to be incorporated into the territory of Dahua. But the Dahua Dynasty was unwilling to accept them, and only accepted their tribute. There are naturally external reasons for this. During the Great Chinese Dynasty, the external security environment can be said to be quite harsh.

In the north, there is the old enemy Jin Dynasty, and there is also the Xia Kingdom that has been separated, and there are constant wars. And Liyue and Xilu are the places where the powerful Jin Dynasty will return. However, these two places are connected to the Dahua Dynasty for generations and can be described as one. It was at that time, when the Jin Dynasty put pressure on them, they naturally wanted to be included in Dahua.

At that time, Dahua was defeated by the Jin Dynasty and intended to make a truce with the Jin Dynasty. There was a reception for the two little brothers. I had to refuse. That's basically the story of Riyue and Xi'an's past. And now, both of these places have become vassals of the Tatars. Moreover, the army was still in the hands of the Tatars, and both regimes were puppet regimes with no real status.

As a result, these two places have become Tatars, and they have a base from which they can attack our dynasty. In other words, our dynasty is now surrounded by Tatar slaves on three sides, and the external security environment is much more severe than during the Dahua Dynasty. It can be said that the security environment of our current dynasty is the same as that of the later period of the Dahua Dynasty.

At that time, the Dahua Dynasty was attacked by the Tatar slaves on three sides, and the final resistance failed. At that time, the Tartar slaves could not defeat the Dahua Dynasty for a while, so they went to attack Xijia and Liyue. And the Great Hua Dynasty did not realize the seriousness of the fall of these two places. Of course, by time, the Dahua Dynasty was already too busy to take care of itself. Where can you still manage Xilu and Liyue?

So these days, the minister has been thinking about such a question. With the strength of our current army, I must have no fear of fighting the Tarslaves. However, if we are really caught in the middle of the situation from three sides, the situation will be greatly disadvantageous to us. The minister thought that attacking the Tarnus head-on at the moment was not the most ideal strategy, and that the most important thing was to recover Liyue and Xijia first, and defeat the Tarnus' three-sided siege of our dynasty. ”
