Dading Mansion, Daliao Imperial Palace.

In the dormitory of Empress Dowager Xiao, a pair of infatuated men and women looked at each other silently. Today, Empress Dowager Xiao and Wu Haogu don't go anywhere, and they don't go to meet Su Chi and Zhao Huan, they just stay in the dormitory. Holding a 600-mile urgent military report transferred from the Tianjin Military Machinery Division, I looked at it carefully over and over again, and I didn't know how long I had been reading. Empress Dowager Xiao and Wu Haogu sat face to face, her face was pale, her eyes were red, and her cheeks were full of tears, not to mention how pitiful.

The hall was silent, and only the sound of the paper was heard.

In the end, Wu Haogu's hand loosened, allowing the emergency military report to fall on the table, and a pair of palms that had become thick because of martial arts practice covered his face, and sighed deeply: "What a miscalculation...... Unexpectedly, Ah Gu made a call and played us as monkeys...... Well done! not only took Datong Mansion, but also plundered the Meng ancients and divination people. Now the Jurchens have two quite reliable allies on the grassland, and we will be in big trouble in the future......"

Empress Dowager Xiao also said in a mournful and tactful voice: "...... There are at least 70,000 cavalry in Menggu and Zubu, plus 60,000 cavalry from the Jurchens, plus the Bohai people who have taken refuge in the Jurchens and some miscellaneous tribes, I am afraid that 178,000 elite soldiers can be pulled out! Powerful enemy! The Great Liao is over, the slave family is also finished, the slave family is sorry for the first emperor, sorry for the ancestors of the Great Liao......"

Listening to Empress Dowager Xiao's mournful tone, Wu Haogu's heart was sour, and tears almost fell. He didn't understand why he was obviously a great sage of Confucianism, so why was he tricked by Wanyan Agu as a monkey?

Datong Mansion was lost, and this contest between Zhou and Jin had not yet begun, and Wu Haogu lost!

Moreover, Ah Guta's soldiers and horses have retreated to the north of the Huang River, and they have not given Wu Haogu and Empress Dowager Xiao a chance to get back to the field.

On both sides of the Huang River is the southeast of the Horqin grassland, the terrain is open, and there is no danger to defend. It was very unfavorable for the republican army of the Zhou State, which relied on the mixed forces of infantry and artillery.

Moreover, now that the weather is getting colder, once it is winter, the combat effectiveness of the Han army, which is not adapted to the cold climate, will be severely reduced.

It's okay for the Liao soldiers who fought the five scumbags, but they have to deal with the Shangsheng Jurchen and Meng Gu...... I'm not sure!

Seeing Xiao Se crying and crying, Wu Haogu could only sigh: "Cersei, don't cry...... And me, I won't leave you alone. ”

I can't ignore it...... Wu Haogu originally wanted to use the Liao State controlled by Xiao Sese and the Jurchens, Meng Gu, and Divination. Gain time for the stable development of the Great Zhou Republic.

But now this plot has been completely shattered by the sound of Ah Gu's beating!

It seems that the Great Liao Kingdom is about to collapse in advance - now it seems that the ability of Xiao Sise, the "virtuous queen", is not as good as Yelu Yanxi in history!

Yelu Yanxi supported it for many years after the Battle of Hubu Dagang before falling. And Xiao Siser only lasted for more than a year, and there was no way to sustain it anymore.

However, at this time, Wu Haogu must not abandon Xiao Sise. Because Xiao Sese still has Dading Mansion in his hands, and there are at least tens of thousands of Xi and Khitan tribesmen.

Only by firmly grasping Xiao Sisse and her strength can the Great Zhou Republic have its own grassland and grassland cavalry......

Wu Haogu took a deep breath and said to Xiao Sese, who was sobbing: "You don't have to talk to Song Guo, let King Ding and Su Chi go tomorrow." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked up in surprise: "The official ......"

Wu Haogu said seriously: "Now that Daliao has been shattered, all you can hold is Dading Mansion, the grassland on the dam, and the grassland south of the Huang River...... Can't I keep this bit of territory? Cersei, you are my woman, I will never let people take away your territory and people again! ”

Xiao Sese's eyes widened, and he just looked at Wu Haogu. Wu Haogu's face was full of resolute expressions, and he said eloquently: "Although these territories are not big, they are enough for the people of seventy or eighty thousand accounts to live and work in peace and contentment.

Let's work together to rectify it, cut off the bad government, implement the new policy, and build a new country, which is called the Eastern Liao Kingdom! It is protected by the Great Zhou Republic, and if anyone dares to touch Eastern Liao, the 300,000 iron army of the Great Zhou Republic will fight to the end! ”

Xiao Sese looked at Wu Haogu with a complicated expression, she knew that Wu Haogu was going to "eat" herself! The Great Liao became the Eastern Liao, and it was to become a vassal state of the Great Zhou Republic...... Isn't this just "eating" your own strength?

Two grasslands, a mountainous area, plus seventy or eighty thousand people, and a beauty of herself!

Wu Haogu actually earned a lot of money!

"Slaves all listen to the ...... of officials"

Xiao Siser replied in a low voice.

For her, it is much better for someone to "eat" now than for no one to "eat". If there is no strength like Wu Haogu to "eat", it will be a place to die.

So Xiao Si Se not only couldn't resist, but also had to honestly wash and peel himself clean, lie on the plate, and it was best to sprinkle the condiments and let Wu Haogu enjoy it. Otherwise, you will toast and not eat, and you will be punished for drinking!

Wu Hao Gu said: "Tomorrow, I will order someone to send 3 million horses of silk cloth to Dading Mansion, of which 1.5 million horses will be rewarded to the soldiers, and the rest will be used to reward people." Give them all away, and don't keep any of them.

In addition, I will also have people bring food for the winter, so that the people cannot go hungry. ”

Wu Haogu knew that he couldn't be stingy with money at this time, otherwise Empress Dowager Xiao might cause trouble on Xiao Wall. She can now be regarded as having lost the reputation of the virtuous queen!

So I can only spend a lot of money to buy people's hearts! Millions of dollars are smashed, as long as it can win stability for Empress Dowager Xiao for more than a year, it will be worth it.

"Akuta over there, I'll send someone to negotiate. The Qianli pine forest is bounded by the Huang River to the east. The west to the west to the Mandarin Duck Luo, the north to the desert grassland, and the south to the grassland of Yehuling have to be left to the Eastern Liao. If he doesn't agree, then I will send troops to recapture Linhuang Mansion and Datong Mansion next spring! ”

The territory circled by Wu Haogu for Empress Dowager Xiao is about equivalent to most of Chifeng City, most of Tongliao City and at least half of Xilin Gol League in later generations. In terms of land area, I am afraid it is similar to the Zhou country.

However, most of these areas are grasslands and mountains, and only many valleys belonging to Chifeng City in later generations can be cultivated.

Although this territory is relatively large and Liao, it may not even have three percent. But as long as it can be operated, it is still very valuable.

"Official, how do you plan to run Dongliao in the future?" Xiao Sese still has no bottom in his heart.

Wu Hao Gu said: "Naturally, it is to introduce the military system of the Zhou State, and at the same time, it is necessary to reform politics. ”

He thought for a while, "It is necessary to break the tribal boundaries and distribute the pastures and land directly to the tribesmen, and the leaders of the tribes can give them a sum of money, and then give them some large pastures and big houses, and if it is really not possible, they will give some land and collect rent." I'll pay for all the expenses!

The Bashang grassland and the Horqin grassland are very fertile and can be grazing. You can allocate 30,000 knight herdsmen, let them be compared to ten families, build a wall dock, and live and guard.

Then follow the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, form three cavalry divisions, and let the knights and herdsmen send troops. We provide weapons and armor, and the horses, cattle and sheep they produce can also be sold to the Great Zhou Kingdom through the mutual market. The Eastern Liao court was able to receive a lot of commercial taxes.

As for the farmland in Dading Mansion, it was also divided. Distribute to households, and each household will give one hundred acres and one hundred and fifty acres, so that they can pay taxes and do not have to serve in the military. There are tens of thousands of peasant households, which is enough to feed the Eastern Liao court......"

Wu Haogu really planned to use some blood to help Empress Dowager Xiao this time - in addition to the money that must be immediately allocated to Empress Dowager Xiao to buy people's hearts, other expenses were of course allocated by the Senate.

It is impossible to overemphasize the interests of taking Eastern Liao as a vassal state and using the Zhou system to reform Eastern Liao, so it is very appropriate to make some money!

With the territory of Eastern Liao and 30,000 semi-armored steppe cavalry, the northern defense line of the Great Zhou Kingdom would become very strong and deep.

Moreover, with 30,000 knight households that graze on the grassland, the army of the Great Zhou Kingdom will be able to have a certain grassland mobility ability in the future - grassland mobility not only requires a large number of cattle and sheep as military food, but also a large number of horses for consumption.

Relying on the local knights of the Zhou Kingdom, they can't provide so many cattle, sheep and horses no matter what. But with 30,000 steppe knights, the situation is different - the two grasslands cover at least 100,000 square kilometers! In other words, each herdsman has at least three square kilometers of pasture, and it should be no problem to herd three or four hundred cattle, sheep and horses. 30,000 knight herdsmen can raise at least 10 million head of livestock. With this base, tens of thousands of troops can often fight deep into the steppe.

And letting these herdsmen and knights live in the wall dock and practice fixed pasture is not only to break the tribe and strengthen the authority of the Eastern Liao court of Empress Dowager Xiao. Also so that Da Zhou can control the grassland!

Wu Haogu knows that people are inert, like comfort, and like a sense of security. Once these Khitan knights moved into a comfortable and safe castle, they quickly became accustomed to a settled life.

Once people have settled down, it is very difficult to return to a nomadic state of inhabitation.

And their castle is just an easy target for the artillery of the Great Zhou!

After listening to Wu Haogu's words, Xiao Sese suddenly felt that his "official" had already made a plan? Could it be that he had already expected that Da Liao would be broken into several pieces?

She sighed, "That's fine, slave mother and son, there is finally a way to live...... The slave family was relieved. ”

Wu Haogu sighed, "Cersei, I can't feel at ease now, now is really the time when people's hearts are the most distraught!" We must summon the leaders of our generals as soon as possible and give them an explanation...... If anyone is willing to go away and go to Jerodashi, give them horses and horses, and let them go quickly.

In addition, there are still a lot of monks and nuns here in Dading Mansion! When the situation stabilizes, let them return to the vulgar or send them to the Jurchens' territory as much as possible. Da Liao has fallen to the point where it is today, and there are too many rice monks, which is the biggest reason. We can't do it again! ”
