Han, Yue, and Niu looked at each other, and their faces were different.

Li Qi looked at it in his heart, and secretly thought, it seems that it is not a trivial matter to make the three of them worry at the same time. I was even more curious, and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Yue Fei said: "Back to the privy envoy, the general doesn't want to take care of it, but we don't have the right to take care of it." ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "What do you mean by this, if I am not mistaken, I gave you enough power in the first place." ”

Han Shizhong hurriedly said: "The privy envoy doesn't know, in fact, there are not many troops in Yizhou and Qinzhou, there are only 10,000 township soldiers in total, most of these soldiers are farmers and woodcutters, and they have no combat effectiveness, mainly the local armed forces in these two places, but these local armed forces are irregular armies, even if they are, they are only in name, these armies have already become a faction of their own, and the forces are intertwined, and we have no way to start." ”

Li Qi said: "Local armed forces? What do you mean? Could it be that my Great Song Dynasty still has an army that is not under the control of the imperial court? ”

"You can say the same thing." Han Shizhong said: "Most of these local armed forces exist in the form of tribes and tribes, which is equivalent to the local overlords, and many of them can be said to be self-reliant kings, and they do not obey the imperial court at all. ”

Niu Gao continued: "Not only that, but the folk customs in these places are very strong, and if we forcibly intervene, I am afraid that it will provoke a mutiny. ”

"And why haven't I heard of it?" Li Qi frowned.

Han Shizhong said: "Because these places are relatively remote, the population is not large. Therefore, the imperial court rarely asked, and Jiaozhi over the years. Troops have been repeatedly sent to burn, kill and loot in these places, and the imperial court has always turned a blind eye. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, after the privy envoy issued the battle plan for Jiaozhi, I went to understand the shape of these places. But all in all, we still lost.

There are many reasons for the loss, including the favorable time and place, but there is another important reason, that is, the local armed forces in Yi and Qin. Since there were not many troops in these two places, the commander-in-chief who led the troops at that time hoped to get help from those local forces, but unfortunately these local forces did not cooperate. A total of 4,000 people were recruited, and even when the Jiaozhi army slaughtered the city of Yizhou later, these forces did not take action, until later, when the Jiaozhi army began to directly clash with them. And with 20,000 troops, they defeated the 80,000 troops in Jiaozhi. ”

Li Qi was furious when he heard this, slapped the table and said: "How can this be true, are they still human beings, seeing their compatriots being slaughtered." Turned a blind eye. ”

Niu Gao rolled his big eyes and said, "The privy envoy is right. Among them, there are some birdmen who are worse than animals. ”

Li Qi heard what he said, and said unhappily: "You don't play these agitation methods for me, if you have something to say, just fart." ”

Niu Gao smiled awkwardly, and then said solemnly: "I have been to investigate, and now there are many local forces that have a lot to do with Jiaozhi, and they also sell people to Jiaozhi as slaves every year. ”

Li Qi's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this true? ”

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Privy envoy, this matter is indeed true, and this can't be regarded as a secret, these local forces, for the sake of profit, have to sell at least a thousand people every year to be slaves." ”

"So much? I Tm said that there are so few people here, and they dare to sell them as goods! That's enough. Li Qi snorted a few times, laughed angrily, and said, "Since this is not a secret, doesn't the imperial court care?" ”

Han Shizhong said: "A few years ago, the imperial court was too busy to take care of itself, where did they have the time to take care of these things, and most of the local officials were their people, and they all had a share. ”

"Bang!"

Li Qi slammed the table, stood up, and paced around the courtyard, looking like it was about to explode.

Niu Gao glanced at Li Qi, snickered twice, winked at Han Shizhong, and secretly gave a thumbs up, while Han Shizhong glared at this guy covertly.

After a long while, Li Qi suddenly walked over and said with an angry face: "Yue Fei, Niu Gao." ”

"The end will be."

"You immediately send troops to destroy this group of scum."

"Huh?"

"Ahh Li Qi said angrily.

Han Shizhong hurriedly got up and said, "Privy envoy, please calm your anger, please calm your anger." ”

"Anger? If I could calm my anger, I would have died a long time ago, these dog-day guys, even if I don't fight, I have to destroy their group of beasts, I'm really angry. "Richie hated his teeth rattling.

Yue Fei said: "Privy envoys, their strength is not weak, we only brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses this time, if we rush to send troops, this will only cause both defeats, and Dali is already ready to fly, I have to, please also ask the privy envoy to focus on the overall situation." ”

Han Shizhong and Niu Gao also clasped their fists together and said: "Please also ask the privy envoy to focus on the overall situation." ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and thought, yes, Dali's side is about to fight, even if you don't care about Jiaozhi, you have to consider Dali. Thinking of this, he calmed down, sat down, pressed his hand, and said, "Don't stand, sit." ”

"Yes."

Yue Fei and the three of them saw that Li Qi's face eased slightly, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief and sat back again.

Li Qi said: "Maybe my order just now was a little impulsive, but General Han also said earlier, we must solve this obstacle, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

Han Shizhong immediately said: "Back to the privy envoy, these local forces together, there are about thirty or forty thousand troops, because these places are relatively barren and the people are fierce, so their soldiers are very able to bear hardships and stand hard work, fight battles, are also fearless, very brave, and good at fighting in this southern region, if we can recruit them and integrate them into the forbidden army, then we will definitely be like a tiger." ”

Niu Gao said: "Privy envoy, aren't you the best at doing this kind of thing?" ”

Richie glared at the guy. Said: "Do you want me to use the policy of gentleness to appease them?" ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "The reason why there are so many local forces in these places. There are many reasons for this, such as poverty, religious contradictions, and problems with folk customs, and if we use tough measures, then we may give birth to even greater chaos, and then we may send troops this time in vain. ”

Niu Gao said again: "And according to what Yu Gongzi said, in fact, since the privy council made you implement the law change, you have also gained the support of many local forces. ”

Li Qi glanced at Niu Gao and said with a smile: "I understand." You came here just to hope that I would solve these problems, and you just hid behind and watched the show. ”

Han Shizhong said: "Privy Envoy Mingjian, we really don't dare to make rash decisions on these issues, and we will fight, but if we rely on force to conquer these forces." Even if we succeed in the end, we will have to pay a huge price, and we will not be able to fight for Jiaozhi, which will not be good for the whole situation, and it is the best policy to co-opt them, so we have to make you come forward. ”

"Yes. It is. Niu Gao nodded again and again.

These guys are clearly digging a pit for me to jump into! Li Qi finally understood that these three people were planning to instigate him to persuade those forces, but the people in those places, with his incorruptible tongue. All of them are very barbaric, and they have to do ideological work for them. It's not an easy task. After a long groan, Li Qi suddenly said: "You said earlier that some forces have a lot to do with Jiaozhi?" ”

Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Li Qi said: "If I come forward now, it is very likely that the news will leak, and Jiaozhi must be vigilant." ”

When the three of them heard it, they felt that it was also very reasonable, the privy envoy was the first leader of the military and government of the Song Dynasty, and your top leader came here, obviously against me!

Li Qi said again: "You also know that the people in these places are fierce, and if you blindly curry favor with them, they will only intensify and look down on our forbidden army even more. ”

Yue Fei said: "Then I don't know what the privy envoy means?" ”

Li Qi asked without answering: "Which force is the largest force in human trafficking?" ”

Han Shizhong replied: "It is the Luo clan in Shanglin County, northern Yizhou, this Luo clan is also the most powerful force in the south, they have a very good relationship with Jiaozhi, they can't help but have human trafficking, and there are many business contacts, which also makes them richer than other forces, it is said that now they have reached the scale of 8,000 people." ”

These 8,000 people don't sound like much, but for a local force, it is really terrifying, especially for the central government, this is definitely a hidden danger. And Zhao Kai has just ascended the throne, and a lot of things have not yet been figured out, so he has no time to take care of these poor and remote places.

"Eight thousand?"

Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, let's take them under the knife." ”

"Huh?"

Yue Fei and the three of them were stunned, and said that they would not fight!

Li Qi said: "It's not fashionable to convince people with virtue these days, either you stun them with money, or conquer them with your fists, where do I find money for them now, even if I have, I won't give it, dare to love me and help them sell my Song people, this is simply a big joke, and now the war is imminent, the fastest and most stable way is to make them surrender under our fists." ”

"But the Privy Counsellor."

Li Qi raised his hand, interrupted Han Shizhong's words, and said: "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I'm just killing chickens to show monkeys, don't treat me as a god, just say a few words, others will follow me with their hearts and lungs, God is not so powerful, both grace and power are what a commander should do, since they have broken the law, and their approach is simply to lose their conscience, of course I have to punish them, this is understandable, and it is not negotiable, and as long as we can annihilate Luo in the shortest possible time, While not giving them the opportunity to unite, we also show our strength, and the other forces will naturally be obedient, and what I say will be weighty at that time. ”

Niu Gao immediately said: "The privy envoy Shengming is going to beat him." ”

Li Qi said: "Since you are so excited, then this task will be handed over to you and Yang Zaixing!" ”

Niu Gao grinned and said: "If I go, I will go, I am not even afraid of the Jin soldiers, will I be afraid of these Nanban." ”

Yue Fei saw that Li Qi had made up his mind, and knew that it was useless to say more, and this battle could not be avoided, so he asked, "Then I don't know when the privy envoy plans to do it?" ”

Li Qi said: "This is a problem, if it is early, I am afraid that it will startle the snake, but if it is late, it will delay the fighter." ”

Han Shizhong pondered for a moment and said: "Privy envoy, since this is the case, why don't you do it during the period when Jiaozhi sent troops to aid Dali, so that even if Jiaozhi knows, it will be too late." ”

Li Qi thought for a while, and said: "General Han is right, this is indeed a good time, you immediately go and send me the information of these local forces, since they are all here, I have to do it once and for all this time, Tmd, Lao Tzu risked his life to get so many people from the Jin country, this dog day sold such people out in a year, and sold them to poor places such as Jiaozhi, it really me off, I have to let them try the taste of being slaves for generations in the next generation." Oh, and until then, don't let the news go. ”

"Yes."
