"Why doesn't Wu Haogu want the northern grasslands to be calm?"

In the Chongzheng Palace, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty opened his mouth to ask.

Feng Mingshan replied: "Because the grassland is divided into small chaos, and together it is less peaceful." Small chaos can avoid big chaos, and less security will cause great disasters in the future. Therefore, Wu Haogu divided and ruled the grassland, and was unwilling to overwhelm any of the Eastern Liao, Western Liao, and Jin Kingdoms and dominate the grassland. ”

In the main hall, Deng Xunwu, who replaced Su Chi as the Privy Council, said: "Your Majesty, in the past, the Xiongnu unified the grassland, and it was a disaster for the Han Dynasty. The Turkic unification principle disturbed the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Khitan unified the grassland, which was a disaster for more than 100 years. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, "I have been on the north and south sides of the Wuhao Ancient Covenant, and each is the emperor. But he is unwilling to stand on behalf of Liao, if he stands on behalf of Liao, won't the grassland be unified by him? Why wouldn't he want to? ”

"Because grasslands are easy to take and difficult to treat." Fengming Mountain said, "The Zhou army broke the Khitan and overpowered the Eastern Liao, and there are tens of thousands of armored cavalry under his command, and his prestige has been established."

As long as Wu Haogu does not skimp on millions of money and rewards the grassland heroes, he can attract 100,000 bow-leading soldiers. More than 100,000 cavalry oppressed the Jurchens together, which was enough to drive them back and press them out of the tiger water.

However, it is easy to take the grassland, but it is difficult to control the grassland. In the past, the Tang Dynasty was strong, destroying the Turks and taking the grassland, but it was only the rule of one generation. Now the weather is getting colder, the grassland has been plagued by white disasters for many years, and there are herdsmen suffering from hunger and cold everywhere. If Wu Haogu becomes the co-master of the grassland, he will have to take care of their food and clothing.

The people of the grassland are all wolves, full of comfort, hungry hurt people!

Moreover, the Zhou State was with 340,000 citizens and more than 4 million Han people, controlling 3 million Bohai, hundreds of thousands of Khitans, more than 100,000 Jurchens, millions of Goryeo people, if you add millions of Jurchens and 2 million grassland wolves. Can the Zhou Kingdom still be as prosperous and stable as it is now? ”

The Liangguo Tianli Sect understands the grasslands, and they also preach in the grasslands. And they also know the Zhou State, and they also know what it means to be outnumbered. The Han Chinese on the territory of the Liang Kingdom were not in the majority, and the number of knights in the dominant position was even smaller, but only 16,700 households.

The situation of Zhou is of course a little better than that of Liang Guo, but now it is also outnumbered. There were at most 4 million Han people in the Zhou State, about 3 million Bohai people, more than 100,000 mature women, and 7.8 million Khitan people in Eastern Liao.

Even if you don't count the Goryeo people who are dependent on the Great Zhou, in the native territory of the Great Zhou Republic (including Eastern Liao), the ratio of Han Chinese and non-Han people is one to one.

And what Wu Haogu can really rely on is more than 300,000 citizens. Definitely outnumbered!

In this case, if you eat the Mobei grassland and the white mountains and black water, the Great Zhou Kingdom will encounter severe indigestion.

The military citizens of the Zhou State were basically farmers, and it was impossible to ride around the grassland all day long.

Therefore, Wu Haogu had no way to establish direct rule on the grassland, and could only engage in fetter rule. Considering that the current steppe people have not been fooled and lame by Buddhism, they are all barbarians who believe in eternal life and believe in God. It is not at all comparable to the Mongols who believe in Lamaism......

It's still the Xiaoice period! The harsh climate not only made it extremely difficult for the Zhou army to move in the north, but also forced the struggling steppe tribes to constantly wage wars against the rule of the Great Zhou.

Unless Wu Haogu's army has the ability to conquer all the steppe tribes and then move them to a warm and comfortable place...... Or simply kill them all!

But considering the boundlessness of the steppe, the difficulty of supply and the harsh climate, it was simply impossible for the cavalry of Wu Haogu to really conquer the steppe.

What can be done is nothing more than the name of bondage, which is actually captivity. In order to maintain the feudal rule, the Great Zhou had to prohibit the tribes from fighting privately and providing disaster relief in the event of a serious disaster on the grassland.

But in this way, it will further promote the growth of the grassland population...... If it is well raised, the population of the grassland will grow, and if it is not well raised, the grassland peaks and smoke will rise. In short, it's a thankless task!

Wu Haogu was full of food and went to do this kind of thing? With this energy, it is better to do a good job in the construction of capitalism in our own country, and then go to sea to circle a few more pieces of sacred territory since ancient times. Isn't it better than tossing on the prairie?

"I see," Zhao Ji nodded lightly, "No wonder Wu Haogu is unwilling to stand on behalf ......of Liao."

Since the grassland is so difficult to govern, what is the significance of the Quartet Ping Jince offered by King Liang? With the strength of the Zhou State, he can't govern the grassland, so who else in the world can govern it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Yelu Dashi can cure it."

"Jerodashi?" Zhao Ji asked, "What can he do?" ”

Feng Mingshan said: "He can find a warm and happy land for the two million people on the grassland!" ”

"A warm and happy land? Where is it? ”

"The river, Persia, the Great Food, and Egypt are all warm and happy lands."

Feng Mingshan said with a smile: "Yelu Dashi has been operating in the land of seven rivers near the river for eight years, and I know that Hezhong, Persia, Dashi, and Egypt are all rich and weak. If there are hundreds of thousands of grassland warriors, they will definitely be completely pacified.

And if the grassland loses 2 million people, it will not be a disaster for the Central Plains for hundreds of years to come! ”

"The river, Persia, the Great Eclipse, and Egypt are all weak?" Zhao Ji asked, while pondering in his heart, there are so many weak countries in the universe, why can't the Great Song Dynasty meet it? Is it because the ancestors took the country too coincidentally? So there's something going to be a problem in the heavens?

"It's all weak!" Feng Mingshan said, "But they are not really a country that is both weak and rich. ”

Isn't it the Great Song Dynasty that is both weak and rich? Zhao Ji thought to himself.

Feng Mingshan said: "The real weak and rich is the Tianzhu Kingdom!" Tens of thousands of people in Western Xia climbed over the mountains, traveled thousands of miles, and won the rich state of thousands of miles in one fell swoop. As far as the minister knows, on both sides of the Xindu River in the northwest of Tianzhu in the northwest of Tianzhu, the tax income of a year is no less than that of Jiangnan! ”

Tens of thousands of people crossed the Pamirs, through the mountains of Afghanistan, and into the unfamiliar northwestern part of India. All the taboos of soldiers have been committed!

And then...... It was not the annihilation of the whole army, but the fact that he became the master of the rich Xindu River Valley. There was so much grain that it was moldy, cotton cloth was piled up like a mountain, and gold and silver were cramped in the hands. Since then, he has lived a happy life that Li Yuanhao never dreamed of!

With such a living wealth effect by their side, Yelu Dashi and Zhang Li certainly want to paint a scoop according to the gourd.

So the two exchanged letters for more than a year, and they were discussing where to make a fortune. After discussing and discussing, I still think it is better to go to Persia, Dashi, Egypt, and the river to make a fortune.

However, Yelu Dashi and Zhang Li had too few troops at hand. There are 60,000 households in Oshi. Zhangli had only 16,700 knightly households, and another 10,000 dependent Wangubu, Tatar, Uighur, and Tibetan warriors.

With such a few people, even if you can defeat Persia, Great Eclipse, Egypt, and Hezhong, you can't occupy it.

Therefore, they began to attack the idea of the grassland, wanting to deceive the robbers of the grassland into becoming rich people.

Of course, Yelu Dashi and Zhang Li didn't think about pulling all the barbarians away on the grassland. It can pull hundreds of thousands, and it is enough to make a big profit in Persia, Dashi, Egypt and the Transoxiana region.

……

"The Führer, Tenriko and Dr. Oishi have no intention of going east and fighting for the world with the Great Zhou, they just want to go west to make a fortune."

Tianjin, Führer's Palace.

Su Zhihuan, another messenger sent by Zhang Li, was acting as a lobbyist at this time. Persuaded Wu Haogu to participate in the "Sifang Ping Jin Ce" to help defeat the Jin State and create conditions for Zhang Li and Yelu Dashi to collect the grassland tribes.

Wu Haogu sat behind a large bookcase, frowning, listening to Su Zhihuan while looking at a map spread on the bookcase.

The map shows the general situation of the "Dajin Siege Network", and the men and horses of Yelu Dashi are retreating near the city of Kedun in Mobei. Zhang Li's army was in the grassland on the north bank of the Hetao. In the grassland on the south bank of the Hetao, the Song army is gathering heavy troops!

In the two roads of Jidai and Fulin, the Song army and Xiao Gan's parallel army, and the Fulin army of the Zhejia family are also gathering.

A huge net surrounding the Dajin Kingdom seems to have been weaved.

However, Wu Haogu, who has been in battle for a long time and has become a military expert, knows that all parties involved in the "encirclement network" actually do not have the determination to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers.

Yelu Dashi and Zhang Li just wanted to pull people's heads from the grassland. 500,000, 1 million are earned. And Wanyan didn't say anything about not letting them pull it...... Those people can't be fed!

And how many old books do Dashi and Zhang Li have? Can you afford it?

As for the Great Song Dynasty...... Cochin and Jin Guo are not an order of magnitude opponent! And there is also a Mongolia, a Kereh is messing around with the Jin country!

And the Great Zhou ...... It is possible to take Linhuang and Huanglong. But it is a bit difficult to bear the war on the side of Datong at the same time.

Although the Great Zhou Kingdom had more than 200,000 troops, it was not enough to really spread out and put them on such a vast battlefield.

This war is not more than a dignified battle, but more than mobility, more than search ability. The role of cavalry is much greater than that of infantry!

There were not enough cavalry to search, and the army of the Zhou State was nothing more than occupying a few empty cities, and not even the shadow of the enemy could be found!

And with the strength of the cavalry of the Zhou State, even if you count the attached Eastern Liao cavalry, you can divide it into two or three roads, and then match a pair of infantry to occupy the city...... If you want to stay all the way as a reserve, at most it is a two-way army, and it would be good to be in charge of one direction of Jinguo Tokyo Road.

And once the Jurchens discovered that the Zhou army was used in Tokyo Dao, they were likely to concentrate their main forces on Xijing Dao.

"It's too risky!" Wu Haogu shook his head, "This Quartet to destroy Jin Ce is too risky!" ”

Su Zhihuan smiled and said, "Adventure? With the strength of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it is enough to defeat the Jin Kingdom. Not to mention that there are other tripartite soldiers? When you talk about taking risks now, in the eyes of the world, it is a martial saint who just wants to see Song Jin see-saw, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman, right? ”

Wu Haogu snorted coldly, "Whether or not my Great Zhou can defeat the Jin State is not determined by the eyes of the world, but by the sword in the hands of the republican generals. And the republican soldiers will be the swords of the Great Zhou Republic, and they will only fight for the republic! “
