As soon as the hour came, a Qiang man who was almost 80 years old walked onto the stage tremblingly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day for our Qiang people, after years of fragmentation, today we must unite together and work hard for a new rise! After discussion among the villages, we unanimously decided to elect the leader of the Tiger tribe as the leader of our Qiang people. ”

Labazi took the stage to the cheers of the Qiang people and began to speak, after this woman fused with Mu Guiying's martial spirit, her wisdom was improved, and she knew very well what the Qiang people wanted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have taken the pride of myself as the leader of the tribe. I will bring a different life to everyone, we want to live like the Han people, we want to live in the city, we want to gain the recognition of the imperial court and the respect of the Han people! Ladies and gentlemen, Laba Zi is a shallow learner, and please help us a lot, for the future of our Qiang people, we will work together to create our better future! ”

As he spoke, Labaz rode his flying horse and roared, "The decree has arrived!" ”

Labazi hurriedly stepped down from the stage to greet him, and the man immediately turned over, unfolded a piece of yellow cloth, and said: "The holy decree has arrived, and Labazi has received the decree!" ”

"Labazi takes the order!"

As soon as Labaz knelt down, the Qiang people also knelt down.

"The edict said: Today, there is a Qiang woman Labazi who is smart and heroic, and has a leadership temperament, and she is specially named Labazi as the queen of the Qiang people, leading all the Qiang tribes and serving the Great Song Dynasty!"

When the decree was finished, the hearts of the Qiang people rejoiced.

"Rabazi Shane!" Rabazi said, then stood up and took the decree.

The man said: "Queen, the official family has something to say to you, let you immediately sort out the book, report the situation of the Qiang people to the Maozhou Mansion, all the Qiang people will belong to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will be controlled by the imperial court militarily, and other matters and the development of the Qiang people are all up to you." ”

"Yes!" Labaz said.

The Qiang people listened to it and were even more happy, the development of the Qiang people is still the decision of the Qiang people, it seems that the Song Dynasty court has given the Qiang tribe a lot of freedom.

As for the military restraint by the imperial court, there is naturally nothing to say about this, the Qiang people's current military strength is very weak, and they cannot confront the imperial court at all, and they cannot pose a threat to the surrounding areas.

Hiding under the big tree to enjoy the shade, this is the happiness of the Qiang people.

In this way, the Qiang tribe was pacified, and soon, the imperial army marched into the Qiang tribe and began to take charge of military control.

Moreover, the conscription work has officially begun, and the treatment of soldiers is very good, with a salary, and each person can receive 10 taels of silver per month.

Not only that, but the families who are soldiers enjoy the treatment of military dependents, and they can also receive silver taels every month, and they will enjoy preferential treatment from the imperial court in business operations and daily life.

This condition makes the Qiang people move their minds one by one, being a soldier has money, and the family can live a good life, why not do it?

Besides, the Qiang people are also a belligerent people, and they have fighting genes in their blood, and they can still exert their combat effectiveness when they join the Song army.

Soon, many Qiang people began to participate in the Song Army, but not everyone is qualified to participate, the selection conditions of the Song Army are very strict, and the body has passed, and it depends on your thoughts, whether you are an only child, etc.

At the same time, the admission of different types of troops, infantry, cavalry, archers, etc., which opened the eyes of the Qiang people.

Strict discipline also announced to the Qiang people in advance that if they joined the Song army, they could not do whatever they wanted, and once they violated military discipline, they would be killed.

Therefore, after thinking about it, many Qiang people did not dare to join, and the imperial grain did not seem to be so delicious.

Within a few days, about 2,000 Qiang people joined the Song army. Most of these Qiang people were incorporated into the cavalry sequence, and their ability to control horses gave the Qiang people a natural advantage.

With the addition of Han Chinese and other ethnic groups, the Song army stopped conscription after reaching 10,000 men.

Winter turns to spring, and when the ice and snow melt, the whole of Maozhou begins a new year.

Animal husbandry needs professional pastures, Li Li mobilized herdsmen to start reclaiming pastures, all kinds of slopes have become the main pastures, flat land to grow crops, the mountains are the main battlefield.

Ming Jian handed over all the forage seeds he got from Liu Bi to Li Li, and these forage seeds are also relatively adaptable, and they can take root and sprout in Maozhou unless they encounter insect plagues.

And Ming Jian saw that everything was developing according to his vision, so he left Maozhou with confidence.

After leaving Maozhou, Ming Jian returned directly to Bianjing, because news came from Yuncheng that the Jin people had begun to prepare to attack Yuncheng.

At the same time, the three northern towns of Zhongshan, Hejian and Taiyuan that the Jin people took from the Great Song Dynasty also had abnormal movements, and the Jin people hoarded a large number of men and horses in these three places and prepared to go south.

In the land of Qilu, the puppet Qi regime also prepared 300,000 soldiers and horses to make a marching posture, all of which showed that the Jin people would not easily give up their plans to go south.

The Song army has 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yuncheng, and it can be divided to deal with the Jin soldiers and the puppet Qi army, but against the three towns in the north, there will be no extra soldiers and horses.

The western army was pinned down by the Tanguts, and the soldiers and horses here could not go north to listen to the tune, and the soldiers and horses in the south were even less, so we had to find a way.

After returning to Bianjing City, Ming Jian immediately called Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and Wu Lin to the Wude Hall to discuss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how many soldiers and horses are still available in the imperial court?" Ming Jian asked.

Li Ruoshui said: "Official, now that the battle line is elongated, our regular army can only be mobilized by Han Shizhong, but the minister thinks that Han Shizhong's army can be sent out from the waterway to invade the rear of the Jin people, which can make the Jin people fearful." Therefore, we need to mobilize the reserves of the state symbols, this is a huge legion, pick it, and it is no problem to form an army of 500,000. At that time, there will be no problem in defending the Jin people from the three northern towns head-on. ”

"The combat effectiveness of the reserve is weaker, but there is no problem in blindly defending, the main thing is that our weapons are more advanced." Li Gang said, "But if you want to launch a counterattack, it is not enough, the minister suggested that a fine soldier be mobilized as a follow-up, once you find that the Jin people are defeated, let this elite soldier chase and hit the Jin people hard!" ”

Li Gang's thinking is even bolder, he is a strategist, not only thinking about defense, but also thinking about counterattacking.

"It's a pity that we don't have elite soldiers, Wu Lin, what do you think?" Ming Jian asked.

Wu Lin said: "Qi Qi official family, the minister is willing to personally lead an army as a follow-up, do not break the gold people, and swear not to return to the court!" ”

Wu Lin personally invited Ying, which made Ming Jian's eyes shine, this Wu Lin is a famous general, let him lead the army, the effect will definitely be there.

"Okay, Wu Lin, I asked you to pick a thousand centaurs from the Praetorian Guard, and when the time comes, lie in ambush behind the reserves!" Ming Jian slapped the table and said.

Wu Lin said happily: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"By the way, is there any movement on Liu Qi's side? Has Annan already been taken? Ming Jian suddenly remembered someone again, so he asked.

Liu Qi, one of the four generals of Zhongxing, followed Zhao Gou to Annan, although his legs were crippled, his command talent still existed, and Ming Jian cared about what he could do.

Li Ruoshui said: "Official, this Liu Qi is really a talent, plus Zhang Jun, the two of them have gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses in Annan, and they have taken down Annan, but Liu Qi ordered all the members of the Annan royal family to be killed, and the newborn Zhao Yang was the emperor and ruled Annan. ”

"Taken? This Liu Qi is really a talent, if he can be used by me, it will be good. Send men to restrain him, lest he cause trouble. Ming Jian sighed.

Li Ruoshui said: "The official family, the minister has sent Liu Guangshi, who is idle at home, to Yongzhou, Qinzhou and other places, so that he can act cheaply. ”

Liu Guangshi followed Zhao Gou before, and later after Zhao Gou fled Bianjing, Liu Guangshi took the opportunity to pretend to be sick, but Ming Jian ignored him.

After Li Ruoshui remembered it, he used him to go to Yongzhou.

Ming Jian shook his head and said, "How can Liu Guangshi be Liu Qi's opponent?" I see that he is going to make a mistake this time, so send Zhao Yun again, and let him tell Liu Guangshi that he only needs to defend the city! ”
