He snorted coldly and said quite domineeringly: "If the Shiites dare to commit rebellion, the cathars will definitely send them to see the Lord as soon as possible." ”。

The geographical location of Nishapur is like a wedge deep into Khorezm. And there are high mountains in the local area, as long as it is occupied, then it will be more difficult for Khorezm to go east.

Li Chengji took into account the revenge of Mahamat on himself after the great decline of the Great Liao State. Therefore, it is necessary to put the Governor's Palace of Khorasan in the most advantageous position in the shortest possible time. This Nishapur County has become the most dangerous and profitable of the four counties.

As for the opposition of local Shiites, it is not in the table.

Anyway, since ancient times, the barrel of the gun has come out of power. Although those Shiites are more troublesome to deal with, as long as the cathars maintain a certain degree of force deterrence in the local area, then there is no fear of those Shiites openly resisting.

There may be some radical believers, but Lee Seungji is not afraid. Come one to kill one, come one to kill one pair. The Department of Affairs became the eyes and ears of the Governor's Office of Khorasan, the Red Turban Army of the Inspectorate became the teeth of the Governor's Palace, and the Apologists were the butcher's knives of the Governor's Palace.

Anyone with bad intentions will do their best to strangle them in the cradle before they resort to action.

And if it is developed according to the original history, twelve years later, this place will be slaughtered by the Mongols. In order to make the Muslims of the land of Persia fearful of the Mongols, the cats and dogs of Mashhadri were killed. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as not leaving a piece of armor.

Naturally, Lee Seung-ji would not choose this way of destroying humanity to maintain his rule. First, his strength is not enough! Just by virtue of the land of the three counties, the holy city of slaughtering Muslims. Such an unpopular move, don't think about expanding your territory in the future.

Second, he also wanted to develop the power of the Puritans! Therefore, the treatment of Shiites should still be based on a certain amount of gentle means.

What's more, the Puritans had a lot of doctrinal overlap with Shiite teachings. This is what both have in common, unlike Sunnis, who are completely irreconcilable. It is impossible to say that it will become an opportunity for Puritanism to expand its influence and recruit believers.

In the end, Mashhad is one of the holy cities of Islam, and its religious influence is very far-reaching. This can be seen from the experience of Mashhad replacing Nishapur as the central city of western Khorasan.

Therefore, the decisive factor for Lee Seungji to take Nishapur was to capture Mashhad.

"But--", Zhang Timing was not convinced. But seeing that Li Chengji had made up his mind, it was difficult to say anything more. Al Zimi saw that Zhang Timing, who was close to Li Chengji, closed his mouth, and it was even more difficult for him to speak.

It's just that the two of them didn't seem to have the ability to see, and they didn't resign.

Li Chengji knew that they were angry in their hearts, so his tone softened a lot, and explained: "This plan is offered by Li Hubu. He pleaded with the Governor that he should not be an outsider until he sent his troops. ”。

Although this matter was actually brought up by Li Chengji himself, and the reason for concealing it was that he expected Zhang Timing and Al Zimi to speak out against it.

Although the land of the three counties of Khorasan, the governor of Lee Seung-ji has supreme authority. However, due to the habit since the establishment of the Governor's Palace, the three of them will be consulted on all important military and political matters. So that in a way, they have the general parliamentary power of the privy envoys.

Therefore, they should also have the right to know about this major event of sending troops.

But Li Chengji was afraid that he would not be able to convince them, and his ears were not pure. In the spirit of more than one thing, it is better to have less, and asked Li Wei not to reveal this matter.

After all, the major event of Huihe killing the Great Liao Supervisor and taking refuge in Mongolia has not yet happened. I expected it, but there was no evidence. It is impossible to say that you come from the future and know the events of the next generation for thousands of years. They had to make a temporary decision and keep them in the dark.

"Li Hubu acts like this, how can the governor let him act recklessly!" , Zhang Timing was originally dissatisfied with Li Qiwei as a domestic slave and on an equal footing with him. Since Su Ri, it is rarely more than Li Atmosphere.

Now I heard that Li Gao asked Li Chengji to conceal the dispatch of troops, and he was even more furious.

In the end, the six great Diwans have the authority to counsel important matters. Now when it comes to such a big thing, they are excluded. No matter how you say it, I feel that I am being slighted.

But when it comes to military affairs, it has nothing to do with them. Because they are not people who know the soldiers, or they are involved, and they are also talking on paper. Li Chengji did not justifiably give them the general power of the privy envoys to discuss politics, and basically could not interfere in the affairs of the military department from a legal point of view.

More importantly, the military department has always maintained a detached position. Grain and grass, military expenses, recruitment, and mobilization of troops are all decided by the household department. Except for Li Chengji's accusations, other ministry affairs can only say some painless gossip.

Like this time, the household department raised its own grain and grass. The difference in military spending only needs to be reported to Li Chengji. As a result, the Ministry of Households, which was in charge of the money bags of the Governor's Palace, was not aware of the mobilization of grain and grass by the Ministry of War.

Previously, due to Li Gao's status in the Guardian Army, as well as the new construction of the Governor's Palace, everyone was needed to work together. Therefore, although Zhang Timing was dissatisfied with the excessive authority of the Ministry of War, he never showed it.

Now that he was provoked by Li Chengji's words, he immediately couldn't care about it.

Hearing these angry words, Li Chengji secretly shouted for Li Wei. But at this point, he couldn't change his words.

Alzimi, who accompanied him, also made an angry gesture. He simply saluted Li Chengji, and said angrily: "The chief officer of the six departments, there is no seriousness. However, the governor's personal military department, and the distant family and Xing's second department, it is really difficult for the old man to do something for the governor. ”。 Baptized by Persian culture, he could not speak in a crepe. is very direct and expresses the dissatisfaction in his heart.

When Li Chengji heard this, he had to persuade him with good words: "Hurry up and follow the power!" This is not a convention, not an example! ”。

After receiving this assurance, Zhang Timing and the others said some angry words again and left the Governor's Mansion with a calm face.

Seeing that the two were finally gone, Li Chengji breathed a sigh of relief. The smooth forehead also unconsciously oozes fine beads of sweat. But in hindsight, he felt that he had miscalculated. Because of this dispatch of troops, they had no right to interfere in the first place. But now that they have said it, it seems that they will be able to talk about the affairs of the military department in the future.

Not only that, but I can also talk about other ministry affairs.

"Hey! These two old foxes have fallen into their way! Li Chengji said with a wry smile. But he's also slippery! The art of speaking is a very deep science. In the future, if they use today's assurances as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of other ministries. You can also explain your assurances as you need.

Although the skin is thicker, but against these two old foxes, you must not be thin-skinned.

Thinking like this, Li Chengji couldn't help but feel good.
