Chapter 454: Four Divisions
"Meet the Grand Duke!"
"Excuse me! Have a seat! Zhao Xun said with a smile.
The patriarch of the scholar clan gathered together to meet Zhao Xun and come to discuss the division of the territory and the future direction.
Zhao Xun secretly looked at the demeanor of the four people carefully, and his expression was indifferent, but in the corners of his eyes, the essence appeared, and at first glance he was a capable master. And Da Jize of the Daji Department looked faintly worried, not knowing what he was thinking. As for the stool and the patriarch of the two tribes, he didn't seem to care about it.
According to Li Huaiyuan, he had already explained to the four people that the Xiaoguo army was going to establish the land of the Five Prefectures in the Khitan territory, and the situation of the four parts of the Quartet was superficial, which also included other options for the four people.
Among them, the patriarchs of the two tribes seem to have a clear understanding of the situation of the Xiaoguo army occupying the entire Khitan territory, and they no longer have the idea of competing with the Xiaoguo army, they want to settle their subordinates and enjoy life in Youzhou City. Of course, many of them were shocked by the situation caused by the Xiaoguo army that night, but the two weakest of the eight tribes did not seem to want to live a life of war, and under the rule of the Xiaoguo army, they did not have to worry about being raided by other tribes from time to time. Of course, this is only the idea of the lower strata of herders.
"This war was able to go so smoothly thanks to the cooperation of Daji, Subian, and Duhuo, and of course, the help of Fubu. Therefore, this victory is not the credit of my Xiaoguo army's family, but also yours. Zhao Xun said to a few people with a smile.
"Don't dare, we are all small achievements, and we don't dare to compare with the Xiaoguo Army under the command of the Metropolitan Governor." Kuo hurriedly said, and the other three also echoed.
"I know you're used to getting used to getting straight to the point, and I'm going straight to the point. What are your four opinions on the arrangements of my Xiaoguo Army in the Khitan grassland? Zhao Xun said with a smile.
The patriarchs of the two tribes of Su Ben and Duhuo shook their heads directly, and said, "No opinion, I just hope that the metropolitan governor will treat the people of my department well." ”
Zhao Xun saw the statements of the two, and couldn't help but sigh at the fact that the two of them could give up their power, whether it was the Khitan Eight Banners, or the construction of a city in the Khitan territory, and the establishment of the land of the Five Mansions, which all showed that the Xiaoguo Army was bound to win the land of the Khitan. Not to mention that in the Khitan territory, teach children Han culture, Xiaoguo Army is clearly to annex the Khitan tribes.
The two said that if they let it go, they would let it go, and if such a decision was handed over to Zhao Xun to do, he might not be able to do it. Although the two tribes are located in the north of the Daji tribe, they are surrounded by the other three tribes, and they are often harassed by other tribes, and they are miserable. But anyway, they are also a patriarch, and it is really not easy to let go so simply, and to be able to see the road to the annexation of their subordinates.
Compared with these two tribes, the faces of the patriarchs of the other two tribes changed slightly, and then they smiled bitterly: "I have no opinion!" ”
No comments? If you have an opinion, you have to do it!
The patriarch of the Fu tribe asked cautiously: "Governor, I heard that the various departments are going to reduce the soldiers and horses, I don't know ......."
Zhao Xun said with a smile: "That's right, in the future, the whole territory of Khitan will be divided into five prefectures, namely Dingdong, Dingxi, Dingnan, Dingbei and Dingzhong. In addition to the permanent army of my Xiaoguo Army, there are also Khitan Eight Banners stationed, and the security and freedom of the five provinces are the responsibility of my Xiaoguo Army, and the various departments do not need too many soldiers and horses. If you have a dispute with each other, you will have the government to help you deal with it. Therefore, you do not need to provide too many soldiers and horses, and you will waste money and money. ”
Hearing this, his face changed a few times, and Zhao asked what he meant by this, and basically classified the four of them as one of the Han people, eliminating their own autonomy. What else can you do without soldiers and horses?
"What? Can't I protect you? After the victory of this battle, a large number of people from all the departments were included, and you don't want to appease your people, what do you want to do with so many soldiers and horses? Zhao Xun's face suddenly became grim, and the four of them suddenly felt an unspoken majesty, pressing on them.
Seeing Zhao Xun's sharp eyes, his heart jumped. Zhao Xun said this clearly to him, if he is not interested, then ......
"Since the Metropolitan Governor has already made arrangements, we will naturally follow the order." Lost said busily.
"Since you all don't make sense, I'll talk about the next thing." As he spoke, Zhao Xun signaled, and Situ Liang hung a scroll on a hook on the wall on the right. After Situ Liang opened it, everyone understood that this was actually a map of the entire Khitan territory, but five big marks were drawn on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your new territory is on the map." As he spoke, he pointed to the four sides around him and said to the four of them.
The four of them all looked sideways, and after the two patriarchs of the two tribes of Su Ben and Duhuo took a look, they didn't say anything. Da Jize looked at his position and showed a wry smile.
"I'm in the southeast corner? Wouldn't it be encircled by the Xiaoguo army? He's trying to trap me, it seems that I really have to surrender to the Xiaoguo army...... If I had known, I shouldn't have participated in any five-part coalition with the four northern divisions. Kuo said with annoyance in his heart.
Is it really possible to avoid it without participating in the five-part coalition? Will Zhao Xun let him dodge?
Zhao Xun glanced at the four of them, and then said: "But you don't have to worry about anything, your herdsmen can graze in various places, and the territory I have divided is only your basic land, not to limit your people to death." As long as the law and discipline are observed, all the lands of the five prefectures can be grazed. Of course, it is also possible to set up caravans in various cities. Ladies and gentlemen, you know in your hearts that the people under my Xiaoguo army are much better off than your people, don't you? ”
The patriarch of the Bun tribe nodded and said, "The life of the people under the rule of the Metropolitan Governor is better than ours, I don't know how many back and forth!" Governor, I also want to set up a caravan in Youzhou, I don't know if it's possible? ”
"Of course you can, as long as you follow our regulations, you can also set up a caravan, and if the patriarch is rich, he will definitely become the richest person in the five prefectures of Beiding." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
The four parts are all divided, and they are not connected to each other, and it is difficult to connect them. Now it seems that the storage of the four divisions will not be kept for a long time, and it is better to get more money than to fight with the Xiaoguo army. That's what he thinks, speaking of which, he is not a qualified patriarch, and the tribe has become one of the two inferior of the eight, but he is still very self-aware.
Then Zhao Xun discussed with the four of them about the arrangements of the five prefectures of Beiding, and the four of them accepted it casually or helplessly, and the four of them also knew that the storage of the four of them was actually for Zhao Xun to annex and make a ladder, but what could they do in addition to promise.
And with the appearance of the Eight Banners Bannerman, his face was even more ugly. Although the Eight Banners Banner Master has no troops, he is the leading general of the Xiaoguo Army, in other words, they are the generals of the Xiaoguo Army. What made Kuo's face ugly was one of the banner masters, or his acquaintance, the Tubian clan leader Tu Yan, who was betrayed by himself.
A general who holds military power still has an enmity with himself, and no one can settle down. Didn't you see that as soon as Na Yan came in, he stared at himself?
"I know there is a bit of a misunderstanding between the two of you, but in the future, the first banner will be stationed at the southeast end, so don't take the previous misunderstanding to heart, Patriarch Lost Kuo. By the way, the soldiers of the Eight Banners Cavalry need to be recruited in various departments, and I hope you will cooperate. Zhao Xun said with a smile, but he felt that the smile on Zhao Xun's face was a murderous smile.
The soldiers of the Khitan Eight Banners, in addition to being drawn from each department, were also selected from the four captured prisoners. Once selected, the family members of the soldiers will also be separated from the ministries and become the children of the Xiaoguo Army, enjoying the treatment of the Xiaoguo soldiers.
After talking about the things before and after, looking at the four patriarchs with different faces but cautious, Zhao Xun's heart couldn't help but surge. Don't the dignified patriarchs of the Khitan tribes have to be careful in front of me?
"Patriarchs, banner masters, outside is a welcome banquet specially set up for you by my Xiaoguo Army, all of you, get drunk and rest!"
The patriarchs of the four clans looked at each other, now that they are in the mood to drink? I had to smile bitterly and go away.
