Chapter 904: Continue the southern invasion
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Ziliang had dinner in Qianquan Palace, according to his rules, members of the royal family can eat breakfast and lunch freely, no fixed place, but dinner must go to Qianquan Palace, which is the only place where the family can reunite together in a day.

After dinner, Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Ting: "Zhao Ting come here, and the others will go back to rest after eating!" ”
Zhao Ting followed Zhao Ziliang out of Qianquan Palace and walked slowly along the path in the palace. Zhao Ziliang asked as he walked: "Are you still used to being on duty in the official department?" ”
Zhao Ting said: "Erchen feels fine!" Thank you for your concern."
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while and said: "Today, Gao Shi has been appointed by his father as the secretary and supervisor, and he gives you two choices, one is to go to the new Beijing Mansion to take office and be the new governor; The second is that the Jisu Protector Mansion took office, and the position of the Protector is still vacant! ”
Xinjing Mansion Yin and all the capital protectors are of the same grade, the official ranks are quite high, of course there are advantages and benefits to serve in Xinjing, after all, it is the capital of Western Qin, and it is close to the royal family and the palace, and to serve in the Jisu Metropolitan Protectorate, it is very far away from Xinjing, and it is rare to come back once a year."
Zhao Ting clenched his fists and said: "The child obeys his father's dispatch in everything!" ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Ting, and said, "My father thought that you would choose to go to Jisu, but I didn't expect you to choose it." Although Jisu is remote, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and there is no control from your father, so you must be much freer. Well, since you don't choose, then the father will choose for you, you go to Jisu, although it is a little farther, but the father feels that it is time to give you some freedom! ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Ziliang said: "We have just arrived in Jisu in the Western Qin, and it is still relatively chaotic there, we have migrated a large number of Han people in the past, although we have strengthened our rule over Jisu, but it has also brought chaos to that area, and the Han people and the local aborigines often have conflicts, which is also inevitable, after all, the migration of a large number of Han people will rob the local aborigines of a lot of survival opportunities, and a large amount of land has also been allocated to the Han people, which will of course make the local aborigines dissatisfied, plus the difference in living customs and beliefs, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts." The reason why the Father let you go is not to let you create more and bigger contradictions, but to try to resolve such contradictions, and try not to be partial in dealing with the Han people, so as not to create a feeling for the local natives that our ruling class treats them as inferior, especially in dealing with this kind of matter, try to be impartial and take the law as the criterion, so as not to cause deeper and greater contradictions! Although this can strengthen the rule and deter people's hearts in a short period of time, it is not conducive to long-term rule, once hatred is planted, it is difficult to dissolve, and it will inevitably bring disaster to future generations of future generations and future generations of rulers. My father and your brother also said that before ruling a region, we must carry out barbaric conquest, and the next step is to carry out civilized rule, we must make rules, so that all people under our rule can survive under the rules we make, instead of disorderly leaving the local area in a state of chaos, which will give the ruled the opportunity to resist in the same barbaric way, and the degree of resistance will be more brutal and fierce than the means of our conquest, as long as the vast majority of people can live, they will rarely resist violently, It's only when they feel like they can't live anymore that they take the risk, and you have to remember that. The better the social order and the more stable the social order, the less resistance there will be, and rebellion will be the end of the road, but the more chaos there will be, the more resistance will be! Therefore, it is most important to maintain the authority of the rules, and act according to the rules, and there is the least trouble, but if you break the rules and do not follow the rules, others will not tell you the rules, and we will crack down on those who do not follow the rules, and we must protect those who act within the rules, so that they can enjoy the right to act within the rules, which is the role of the law! When everyone realizes that the law must be obeyed, the social order will be good! ”
Zhao Ting thought for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "Erchen is taught!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said again: "You have another important task when you go to the Jisu Protectorate, to find a coastal deep water area on the coastal coast where a military port dock can be built, and then organize manpower and material resources to build a port and build warships. As a father, Zhao Hu will send people from the Li Navy Port to assist you, and recruit soldiers to train the navy! After all, the Caspian Sea is only an inland sea, and what we in Western Qin need is a navy that can really sail and fight in the sea! ”
"Yes, the boy understands!"
"Okay, you prepare, and in ten days, you will take your family to work!"
"Yes, the boy is gone!"
In mid-October, under the tremendous diplomatic pressure of the Western Qin, the Piu State had to send troops to search the border area, capture Qu Polo who was hiding in the jungle area on the border of the Pi State, and hand him over to the Western Qin army stationed in the Ganges Delta.
On the first day of November, Zhao Ziliang received the report and ordered Qu Polo to be executed, and the first king of the later Polo dynasty died in this way, and the Polo dynasty would never appear again.
More than 20,000 members of the slave army have been stationed on the edge of the Ganges River for several months, and Zhao Ziliang is a little uncertain about whether Nan Tianzhu will be further defeated or slowed down.
If you continue to raise troops to attack Nantianzhu, is the speed of expansion too fast? And for today's Western Qin, the number of standing troops is indeed too small, if you fight Nantianzhu again, it will inevitably cause some domestic forces to be empty, once there is any rebellion in the country, Xinjing has no extra troops to quell the rebellion.
Zhao Ziliang called Cen Shen, Gao Shi, Gao Shang and Li Siye and asked them what they thought on this issue.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Tianzhu has been captured by us half, only a few small countries in the south are left, but if you want to continue to raise troops to attack South Tianzhu, you must use more troops, because North Tianzhu has just been captured by our army, there must be an army to garrison, and now we can mobilize not many troops, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Cen Shen, Gao Shi and Li Siye did not speak for the time being, Gao Shang looked at it, and said: "The king thinks that now is the best time for us to capture Nantianzhu, this makes sense, there are several small countries in Nantianzhu, and the strength should not be underestimated, if we attack one by one, of course we can win, but if we wait for them to unite, it will be a hundred times more difficult for us to conquer again, and the Tianzhu people believe in Buddhism, and most of them are relatively weak, and it is relatively easy to conquer." The problem is that now our troops are a little insufficient, and we have just obtained the Jisu Protectorate and the Northern Tianzhu have not yet been thoroughly digested, so it is a bit risky to rashly continue to invade the south! However, from a military point of view, Weichen thinks that there is still a way to solve this matter, the king can transfer the second army stationed in Jiling City and the fourth army stationed in Huathornzim back, the king stationed two legions here has made the big food country a little uncomfortable, and so that Mansur can not concentrate on the duel with Constantine V, if the two legions are transferred back to Xinjing, the big food country will have no worries, and at this time the big food country will not dare to start a war on both fronts at the same time, Therefore, the western and southwestern frontiers of Western Qin are safe for the time being, and there is no need to garrison the Second and Fourth Army Corps in that area, and as for Khaewazm and Oghuz, it is enough for the Eighth Army to be stationed in the Aral Sea. The Third Legion has just been ordered to be transferred back to rest, and it will not be moved for the time being, and now we still have the Sixth Legion and the Ninth Legion near Xinjing, plus the Second and Fourth, there are a total of four Legions that can be used freely, leaving two Legions in case of emergency, sending two Legions, one Legion is stationed in North Tianzhu, and the other Legion and the Slave Legion are invading South Tianzhu, which is absolutely sufficient in terms of strength. The key question is whether military spending is sufficient? Is there a suitable commander in general? ”
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, looked at Cen Shen and asked, "Prime Minister Cen, can the Financial Secretary of the Government Council come up with a sum of military expenses to attack Nantianzhu?" ”
Cen Shen thought for a while and said: "If the king must fight Nan Tianzhu, Weichen can still think of a way to come up with a military expenditure of five million, but there are too many, and Weichen has no choice!" ”
Zhao Ziliang immediately clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Li Siye, still like Chu Ge, the king will give you the military expenses in advance, the grain and grass and the rewards for the soldiers will be captured by yourself, and you will also take Nantianzhu within half a year, if you think it is feasible, this king will appoint the commander of the Ninth Legion and the slave army to conquer Nantianzhu! ”
Li Siye has been in the Military Machinery Institute for several years, and he has long wanted to fight, the last time Chu Ge led the troops to recruit Beitianzhu, he was so envious, of course he would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Weichen obeys the order!" Within half a year, it is bound to take the South Tianzhu Kingdoms! ”
"Okay, the Ninth Legion, the Slave Legion, and the servant army of the Northern Tianzhu are all taken away for you, and the Sixth Legion is ordered to go to the Northern Tianzhu to take over the defense and severely suppress the local resistance! Therefore, the Government Council should immediately send officials to Beitianzhu to take over administrative affairs, so that all localities in Beitianzhu can restore order and economic activities as soon as possible. The Second and Fourth Legions were sent back to Xinjing to rest and standby! ”
"Yes, King!"
The matter of conquest of Nantianzhu has been decided, whether it is North Tianzhu or South Tianzhu, they are currently in a state of chaos, and some small countries in Nantianzhu are also fighting with each other all year round, and they are not very stable, attacking Nantianzhu is not a very difficult thing for Western Qin, which is also the reason why Zhao Ziliang wants to solve this unstable factor around him as soon as possible.
Finally, the Tibetans and the natives on the southeast peninsula, which have now been divided into several tribes, Zhao Ziliang is not worried about this, and after the settlement of the Southern Tianzhu, he will appoint a big man to specialize in the management of Tubo and the southeast peninsula.
