The countermeasures are easy to take, but the implementation is too difficult, and even the implementation basis is not available.

Where did the troops come from to increase the number of troops in northern Xinjiang? Is it to transfer troops from elsewhere or to recruit civilians as soldiers?

If troops are transferred from elsewhere, where are the troops? At present, only the expeditionary force on the battlefield in Liaodong can be mobilized, and other places are either overstretched because of foreign invasion or because of civil strife, and they are unable to support northern Xinjiang, but the expeditionary force may have to continue the eastward crusade, as long as the Holy Lord and the center have not made a decision to abandon the eastward crusade, the expeditionary force will not withdraw to the country.

In this way, only the recruitment of civilians as soldiers remains, but this trouble is even greater, which directly involves the reform of the military system, touches the foundation of the country, and affects the whole body.

The basis of the military system of this dynasty was the military system. The government soldiers are professional soldiers, once in the army, lifelong in the army, from generation to generation in the army, from birth to the day of death are soldiers, and the responsibility and rights are equal, the greater the responsibility, the greater the corresponding rights, there is no good thing in the world that "the horse wants to run, and the horse does not eat grass", so the "super-national treatment" of the micro-book enjoyed by the government soldiers of this dynasty is exchanged for their lives.

Recruiting people for the army is a conscription system, conscription in wartime, returning to the field after the deformation, death is regarded as dedication to the country, and the disabled can only consider themselves unlucky, and continue to cultivate the land and farm when they are alive.

The two systems are different in the distribution of responsibilities and powers, and their impact on the political, military, economic, and cultural aspects is also different; the central authorities have suddenly implemented the conscription system without adequate preparations, and the two systems of government and conscription coexist, and the result will inevitably do more harm than good.

Although the establishment of the Xiaoguo Army is to recruit people as soldiers, it is a supplement to the Praetorian Guard system, in order to solve the problem of insufficient Praetorian Guards, it is temporary, small in scale, small in scope, small in impact, and the actual implementation process is mainly to recruit low-level nobles, so it can be passed in the center and implemented in the military. Now to continue to expand this "opening", first of all, the central decision-making level is opposed, system reform is related to the rise and fall of the country, we must fully demonstrate and weigh the pros and cons, and we cannot "pat the head" on impulse; The military will also strongly oppose it, which directly endangers the vested interests of the major hilltop factions in the Weifu; The local government will also strongly oppose it, saying that young and strong labor is the most valuable "resource", and that a lack of "resources" will inevitably affect the vital interests of the local economy and local forces. Ordinary people also complained, protecting the family and defending the country was originally the business of the government soldiers, why should ordinary civilians bear it now? There are other obstacles in all quarters, but in short, they are not forced to do so, they are not cornered, and the central authorities cannot make such a decision, and they cannot implement the conscription system.

If the people cannot be recruited as soldiers, there is a serious shortage of government soldiers, and there is a serious shortage of soldiers, and other places cannot draw troops to support northern Xinjiang, so how can we increase the number of troops in northern Xinjiang?

The same problem exists in the suppression of thieves. It takes an army to kill a thief, and it takes more troops to kill a white-haired thief. If Duan Da's report on the strength of the white-haired thief is accurate, then when the white-haired thief shrinks into the lofty mountains and mountains centered on the Flying Fox under the encirclement and suppression of the Weifu army on all sides, the difficulty of killing will inevitably increase greatly, and the Weifu side will inevitably invest more troops to completely annihilate the white-haired thief before the first heavy snow of this winter.

This timing is very important. Winter in the north comes early, once the heavy snow closes the mountains, the encirclement and suppression basically stop, and it will drag on for a few months, until the end of this year and even the early spring of tomorrow, the Weifu army can only "look at the mountains and sigh", at a loss, this will inevitably affect the development of the situation in northern Xinjiang and the direction of north-south relations, not to mention the Eastern Expedition, as long as the white-haired thieves are alive, tens of thousands of rebel troops have not been exterminated, Zhuo County, as the rear of the Eastern Expedition, will always be under the threat of traitors, the grain and grass of the expeditionary force may be cut off at any time, and the northern Xinjiang may also fall into chaos at any time, The Third Crusade was bound to be difficult.

Such an analysis is finally a sentence, the Weifu army must eradicate the white-haired thieves before the snow falls this winter, so the encirclement and suppression time is very tight, no more than three months at most, and as far as the current situation in northern Xinjiang is concerned, politically internal and external difficulties, military strength is insufficient, if you want to kill the white-haired thieves within three months, it is basically wishful thinking.

Zhao Cai, the general of the right guard, then came up with three countermeasures again. First, quickly transfer troops from Daibei and Taiyuan, together with the Zhuojun Zhenshu Army and the Central Xiaoguo Army, first surround the white-haired thieves in the mountains, first ensure the stability of the situation in Yanbei and even the entire northern Xinjiang, and resolutely prevent the white-haired thieves from causing trouble in Yanbei, turbulent in northern Xinjiang, and worsening north-south relations; Second, he ordered Hebei to arrest the ambassador Cui Hongsheng, and the deputy Wu Benlang of Zhuo County immediately evacuated Chen Ling from the eastern capital, and quickly went north to suppress the thieves, and at the same time transferred troops from western Liaoning and Beiping to join the battlefield of suppressing the thieves, and strive to suppress the white-haired thieves before the heavy snow came; Third, the Liaodong base camp was ordered to make preparations for the withdrawal of troops, and once the Yanbei crackdown on the thieves failed to achieve the expected goal, the situation in Yanbei deteriorated day by day, and it was in fact impossible to continue the eastward expedition next year, the expeditionary force was quickly withdrawn, and while strengthening the strength of the northern Xinjiang suppression force, it would make every effort to exterminate the white-haired thieves next spring and completely solve the crisis of the northern Xinjiang suppression.

As far as the current situation in northern Xinjiang is concerned, the relationship between the north and the south is deteriorating day by day, and the number of troops in northern Xinjiang is seriously insufficient, and now the rebel force of the white-haired thieves has been added, and there are too many variables, and it is really tricky to solve them, and the only way is to use thunderous means to quickly eliminate the white-haired thieves, and perhaps the current crisis can be mitigated to a limited extent, but the premise is that the crusade must be abandoned.

However, once the crusade was declared over, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee had to admit their own failure in decision-making and accept the reality that they had suffered a heavy political blow, while the Weifu would bear the responsibility for the military defeat.

The Holy Lord's face was very ugly, and he absolutely could not accept this result, and he must continue the Eastern Crusade, and use the final victory of the Eastern Crusade to reverse the political and military defeat of the reformers, this goal cannot be shaken and cannot be changed.

Zhao Cai's loyalty to the Holy Lord was beyond doubt. When the Holy Lord was the king of Jin at the beginning, Zhao Cai served under his door, and he was the earliest "team" of the king of Jin. After entering the East Palace, Zhao Cai was the right Yu Hou and was one of the commanders of the East Palace Guards. After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Zhao Cai was promoted all the way, and the official was the right general of the guard, which shows the trust and importance of the Holy Lord in him, and Zhao Cai must also understand the mind of the Holy Lord, and he is willing to support the Holy Lord, but the current problem is that there is indeed a second solution to the crisis, but this method involves the King of Qi and the Imperial War, which is considered the "family matter" of the Holy Lord, even if Zhao Cai has great courage, he does not dare to make "propositions", does not dare to make ideas for the Holy Lord, and does not dare to openly interfere in the "family affairs" of the Holy Lord. That was a prelude to finding death.

In that case, what is Zhao Cai's purpose? Is it to give up the crusade to coerce the Holy Lord to immediately "cut off the family affairs"? As long as the Holy Lord speaks, as long as the Holy Lord bears all the consequences caused by the King of Qi's northward march, then there is the best solution to the current crisis, after all, the current crisis is essentially "single-handedly promoted" by the King of Qi, and it is done by the King of Qi at all costs in order to continue his political life. If the Holy Lord is determined to put the King of Qi to death, then everyone will try to "solve" the King of Qi once and for all, otherwise, they will follow the will of the King of Qi, politically "exile" the King of Qi, exile him to the barren borderland, and let him fend for himself.

However, it is impossible for the Holy Lord to slap himself in the mouth, and he gave up the King of Qi and was forced to threaten to use the King of Qi again, which is a shame for him, and it is impossible for the Holy Lord to bear the evil consequences of "father and son against each other, flesh and blood", which is also a stone to shoot himself in the foot, which will seriously damage the authority of the Holy Lord, so Zhao Cai's purpose is about to come out, he uses the strong military as the backing, and forces a certain "big man" in the core of the center to take the initiative to stand up, and in the matter of King Qi, instead of the Holy Lord to make decisions, In the future, if the king of Qi dominates the northern frontier and openly confronts the central government, or fights for the imperial throne by force, repeating the mistakes of Yang Liang, the king of Han, then all the responsibility will be borne by this big man.

This is a typical "dead friend does not die poor way", it is understandable that the holy lord "stays out of the matter", and Zhao Cai is not "kind", digging a "pit" to dig to the highest level of power, it can be regarded as bold, but he is a fox and a tiger, pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner, digging a "pit" for people in the name of the holy lord, and a group of bigwigs are also looking at each other and helpless.

Who would sacrifice their lives to jump into this pit? This "pit" seems to be very risky, but in fact the rewards are also very rich, once the king of Qi went north to the border, solved the crisis in the northern Xinjiang, and helped the holy lord win the Great War between the north and the south, the father and son reconciled, and the king of Qi won the right to inherit the imperial line, then this is not a "pit", but a great credit.

Pei Shiju "stood" out, and in front of everyone's eyes, he took the initiative to jump into this "pit".

The Holy Lord remained silent, and everything was as he expected. Nayan Su Wei, Yu Shiji, Yu Shiji, Imperial Historian Pei Yun and other central core ministers also understood it at a glance.

Pei Shiju doesn't jump, who jumps?

The core of this grand strategy is to conquer foreign captives, expand the territory, become the hegemon of the world, rebuild the great cause of the Han Dynasty, create unprecedented martial arts, and its ultimate goal is to create an unprecedentedly powerful Middle-earth prosperous era.

This grand strategy was very successful at the beginning, and the Western Expedition was a great victory, but then it suffered a series of setbacks, and the Eastern Expedition failed in succession, which not only put the domestic political situation in a difficult situation, but also put China and Turkey in a disadvantageous situation in the Civil War, and there was a danger of defeat. Once the Civil War fails, this new national defense and foreign policy will also be a complete failure, and this defeat not only means the end of Pei Shiju's political life, but also shakes the ruling position of the Holy Lord and the reformers, so the Holy Lord and the reformers cannot accept this defeat and must win the Civil War, and Pei Shiju must dedicate everything to his political ideals, even if he is broken.

Pei Shiju offered advice that there is a better way to strengthen the garrison force in northern Xinjiang, that is, the king of Qi went north to the border, and the king of Qi alone was equivalent to 100,000 garrison troops, and the king of Qi would inevitably be able to effectively alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang; And there is a better way to suppress thieves, the purpose of suppressing thieves is to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang, since we want to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang, the labor army and money to kill and make a big move, will not help the chaos of the situation? Therefore, it is better to suppress than to appease, and to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit, which can not only quickly stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang, but also increase the strength of northern Xinjiang's suppression and garrison, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
