Chapter 556: I may be able to stop fighting without fighting

Zheng Zhi returned to the pass, and only said one sentence: "Go, go back to the south!" ”

The assembled army had already begun to return to the south, and more than 10,000 cavalry followed Zheng Zhi to set off first. The 30,000 Cangzhou iron armor who had not slept all night had to set off after repairing at Gubei Pass for a day, and they also had to leave 3,000 people to garrison at Gubei Pass. The guard of the Gubei Pass is Qin Ming, and then about 5,000 forbidden troops from the state capital will be transferred here to assist.

Along the way, he passed through Danzhou and Shunzhou, although the city had already been initially taken over, Zheng Zhi still did not enter the city, but went straight to Yanjing.

Wu Yong has been following Zheng Zhi with a pen and paper, Wu Yong is obviously going to be in Yanjing, and Li Gang will also stay in Yanjing.

"Scholar, the matter of taking over the city will be entrusted to you, the official system of the Liao people can be preserved for the time being, and the Khitan chief officials can be replaced by Han chief officials, but the property of all officials and nobles must be thoroughly investigated, leaving enough housing and basic living expenses for them, and the rest will be confiscated. The big households, aristocratic officials, etc., in Yanjing City, must be carefully investigated, whether it is the Liao Han or others, they must be confiscated. ”

"All household registration information and account books must be properly received. A notice was issued to comfort the people, and the criminal law first used the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, mobilized soldiers and horses to assist in the management of public security, and those who were worried about violating the law and discipline were all taken into the barracks to engage in hard labor, and those who were serious were immediately beheaded after the trial. ”

"Take out a part of the money to recruit Liao soldiers in various cities, as long as it is an old Liao soldier and re-enlist, immediately send five pieces of money, plus a stone of grain. The people in the prisoner camp had to be recruited many times, and all the recruited soldiers were sent to the military camp outside Hejian Province, and someone would organize drills at that time. ”

"All the ordnance of Yanyun must be transported to the camp outside Hejian Mansion, and you have to instruct Pei Xuan to handle the logistics properly."

"Ordinary people, after being appeased, let them go their own way and not disturb."

。。。。

Wu wrote hard in his hand, so busy that he didn't even have time to respond. For Zheng Zhi, this opportunity should not be missed, it is a period of power exchange, and the benefits must be maximized. If this opportunity is missed, when the society is completely taken over and the society is settled, there will be no excuse to do this kind of "open-minded" thing again.

Zheng Zhi beat the horse and walked slowly, and Wu shook his head and quickly recorded Zheng Zhi's orders.

After Zheng Zhi said everything he could think of at this time, Wu Yong drove his horse into Yanjing City. Zheng Zhi went straight to the military camp outside the city.

Not long after Zheng Zhi entered the camp, the drums in the camp had already started.

In the whole camp, all the generals gathered together in the big tent.

The big tent can no longer hold hundreds of generals, and Zheng Zhi has already moved to the top of the general's platform. Under the generals, most of the generals came from the forbidden army of the state capital, and these generals were naturally Zheng Zhi's henchmen. The small half is from Cangzhou.

When the personnel arrived, Zheng Zhi had already spoken on the platform: "Order, Lin Chong led 30,000 soldiers from the state capital and 5,000 Cangzhou iron armor to the west, and the main force was stationed in Datong Mansion. Ordered, Shi Jin led 20,000 state capitals and 5,000 Cangzhou ironclad soldiers to the east, and the main force was stationed in Jizhou. In turn, it took over the sixteen state cities of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Yun, Confucian, Confucian, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, and Shuo. Bring the holy decree of the Liao State, but in case of resistance, immediately attack the city. ”

"Order, Wang Yu led his troops to the north, garrisoned the Gubei Pass, and brought 5,000 soldiers from the state capital to accompany him. The Gubei Pass guards, Qin Ming is the positive, and Wang Yu is the deputy. ”

"Ordered Hu Yanzhuo to lead his troops to Guihua Prefecture, garrison the naturalization pass (Zhangjiakou of the Great Wall), and be a naturalized guard."

"The details of the military order are subject to the large seal of the Imperial Palace tomorrow morning. The remaining 15,000 Cangzhou soldiers, 5,000 Cangzhou knights, 2,000 knights of the Western Army, Mi and Xiangli knights, and Changsheng military headquarters are all not allowed to go out in the camp, and they will go south with a certain tomorrow morning. ”

The generals replied in unison: "Obey!" ”

Zheng Zhi had already stepped off the stage and returned to the big tent, and the generals under the stage had already returned to the camp, just waiting for the accurate order documents issued by Zheng Zhi.

The reason why Zheng Zhi was so anxious was that he had already received the news sent by Yan Qing that the Tokyo Forbidden Army was heading north. Zheng Zhi was also mentally prepared for this news, so everything went in an orderly manner.

Zheng Zhi arranged for the takeover of Yanyun's other state capitals. In terms of administrative matters, Zheng Zhi also made a basic expedient arrangement.

Yan Yun is too small after all, and Zheng Zhi must be firmly controlled in his hands on the two roads in Hebei. In this way, there is only one war, and fighting a war is not a problem.

But there are many problems outside the war, Zheng Zhi must rush to Hebei as quickly as possible, only Zheng Zhi with a large army in Hebei, in order to ensure the stability of Hebei, but also to use strong means to suppress many forces in Hebei, whether it is the government yamen, or civil forces, only Zheng Zhi personally in Hebei, can ensure the smooth flow of many things.

A change in society, a transfer of power. It's really not that simple, and it's not like everything will be fine in one fell swoop.

Zheng Zhi returned to Hebei this time, and fighting can even be regarded as secondary. The main problem is to solve the problem of the ruling power in Hebei. All the state capitals were officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and all the places were soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, and all of them were the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

If Zheng Zhi wants to firmly control such a large piece of territory, the pressure he has to face comes from all sides, including the official system, the backlash of literati, and the backlash of family power.

The Great Song Dynasty was the first dynasty in China to hand over the governance of the grassroots to the low-level scholar groups. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Every dynasty is truly centralized, and the imperial power can directly govern every Li people.

That is to say, an order of the central government, whether it is the payment of taxes or conscription, is directly issued by the government organization. For example, the mobilization system of the Tang Dynasty only requires a holy decree from the emperor, and the soldiers can be continuously assembled from ten miles and eight towns, and the same is true for taxation, which is also carried out directly by the yamen.

But since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, this matter has changed, there is a word called "imperial power does not go to the countryside", that is, the local yamen can not really manage the villages, towns, clans and townships, and the yamen exercises power through the local family. For example, in a village, if you want to collect taxes, in fact, it is not directly collected by the yamen from the people's homes, but indirectly through the local family power.

Another example is the military system of the Song Dynasty, except for the financially supported forbidden army, the imperial court cannot directly mobilize the people at the bottom. There is also no institutional channel for direct mobilization, and there is not even the ability to do so. All social affairs at the grassroots level must be carried out through family forces.

In fact, it is a kind of power exchange. From the sentence "share the world with scholars", the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty handed over the right of grassroots governance to the big and small Shi clans, in exchange for the support of the big and small Shi clans for the Zhao family.

The system of the Song Dynasty also seriously affected the Ming and Qing dynasties, resulting in different degrees of power exchange in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the disadvantages for the state were obvious. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the scholars were rich and the country was weak was mainly because of this, and the rights of the scholars led to the annexation of land, and the whole country could not even collect taxes.

This problem was not present in the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, and it was also the main mobilization capacity of the state. It is also the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were strong in foreign wars, and the Han and Tang courts were able to directly mobilize all the people's and material resources. Song Ming lacked this ability, and even in the later period, the country directly lost this ability.

This is the most basic comparison between social systems and models.

But this problem has also brought trouble to Zheng Zhi now, that is, under the two roads of Hebei, in fact, the basic ruling class of the people has loyalty to the Zhao family in their bones. Because the model created by the Zhao family has given them benefits, then under the exchange of rights, it is obvious that no one is willing to break this beautiful situation.

This is also the reason why the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties did not succeed in rebellion, even if Li Zicheng, if Liaodong did not have the Manchu as a powerful foreign enemy, it would be impossible for him to attack the city of Beijing. Because the ruling foundation of the imperial court is not broken, then resistance from within cannot succeed. Even after the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was because of external influences that it was defeated by foreign powers countless times that there was the rise of folk progressives.

So if Zheng Zhi wants to break this situation, he needs to think deeply, and the means must be earth-shaking. This means, in the final analysis, is land reform. Give the benefits directly to all the people, and break the monopoly of the scholars on grassroots rights.

It will also be able to construct Zheng Zhi's recycling of grassroots rights and get real support from the bottom. The Zhao family exchanged rights and interests with the scholars, and Zheng Zhi had to directly exchange rights and interests with the real grassroots people. In exchange for the support of the general public.

In fact, China ruled by Chang Kaishen of the Kuomintang in later generations was also built on the basis of "sharing the world with scholars", although it was not exactly the same, but the form of the grassroots was basically the same.

Breaking Chang Kaishen's Taizu method is Zheng Zhi's method.

Zheng Zhi thought very thoroughly, if he wanted to completely eradicate the power of the Zhao family, the only way to solve the ruling foundation of the Zhao family in the Great Song Dynasty was to solve it with extremely fast and bloody means.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhi's rule will be a castle in the air, and it will be counterattacked at any time, and it will be crumbling at any time.

The most important point is that Zheng Zhi is unwilling to use the Zhao family's model to reach this kind of exchange of rights and interests with the Shi clan. I don't want to share the world with traditional scholars. The inheritance of nations and nations requires knowledge and culture, but it does not need this traditional class of scholars.

The literati needed by the state should be service-oriented, not vested interests, still less exchange-oriented with the rights and interests of the entire country and nation.

Under the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, Cai Jing looked back at the army that could not be seen at a glance, extremely relieved, this is also the first time in Cai Jing's life to see so many troops, so many that there are mountains and fields, and there are so many people that there are crowds.

Cai Jing looked up at the high wall of the Daimyo's Mansion City again, as well as the ironclad soldiers on the high wall, and a lot of confidence rose in his heart.

The planter around him looked worried, but the old god was there among the planters, and he still had the leisure to look left and right.

"Come, shoot letters to the city. This time, the 150,000 troops of the imperial court have arrived, and the rebellious ministers and thieves in the city are quickly captured. There was a sense of contempt in Cai Jing's words.

The 150,000 army was assembled in seven days, although it was unsatisfactory, but it was also acceptable to Cai Jing.

said that it was an army of 150,000, and in Cai Jing's opinion, there was nothing wrong with this number, anyway, it looked crowded.

But it was clear in the hearts of the two brothers that before the expedition, all the troops were assembled, and Emperor Zhao Ji personally went out to Bianliang to see them off.

On that day, the two brothers stood on the city wall with Cai Jing, and compared with the military formation with their hands in the air a few times, they could already guess the approximate number, the number of less than 100,000, but there were 150,000 on the roster. Cai Jing originally wanted to gather more generals, but he said in front of Zhao Ji that he would go on the expedition in seven days, and there was no room for maneuver. However, he also ordered the front secretary and the Privy Council to gather more troops to support the north. It is also Cai Jing who points out the troops, and the more the merrier.

Although the two brothers didn't say anything, they shook their heads again and again.

The seed master Dao was anxious in his heart, and said: "Taishi Rongyu, I hope that Taishi is allowed to say a few words under the city, and I hope that I can stop fighting without fighting, so as not to destroy the lives of people." ”
