"Do you find out what's going on? They dare to stop my caravan in Youzhou? Zhao Xun asked with a chuckle, but the people in the Commercial Division all saw the murderous aura in Zhao Xun's smile.

It's no wonder, well, all of a sudden, a large number of caravans going to sea from the eastern part of Qingzhou were detained by the Qingzhou government, how could it not make people angry.

Shen Mengdao, director of the Department of Commerce, said: "The situation is basically clear, it seems that the Qingzhou Navy in Donglai and the officials of Donglai Mansion extorted the caravan, and after encountering refusal, they innocently detained the goods and entourage of the five caravans." Among them, one of these five caravans was specially for us to buy grain, grass, and gunpowder raw materials. ”

"Good! Good! Good! The small Donglai Mansion also dared to pull teeth on the tiger's mouth, and it seems that I haven't moved for more than half a year, and I have ignored us. Zhao Xun said with a sneer.

"Herald! The armies of the Eighth and Ninth Prefectures prepared to move eastward and march towards Qingzhou. Sent a letter to the Qingzhou Xuanfu envoy and the governor, my Xiaoguo army will personally go to Donglai Mansion to seek justice, and those who dare to block it will be regarded as the enemy of my Xiaoguo army. ”

"The order, the Youzhou sailors are all ready, and they are heading for Donglai Mansion. When you meet the Qingzhou sailors, greet them with gunpowder. The broadside battle is when the earth-shattering thunder comes into play. ”

"In addition, send a report to the imperial court to inform you of this matter."

Zhao Xun gave three orders in a row, with the intention of attacking Qingzhou.

"My lord, the Qingzhou Navy Division and the Donglai Mansion Government must not dare to do this, their move must have been rumored by the outside world, after the news that my Xiaoguo Army was defeated in the Khitan Battle, it was instructed by someone to test the reaction of my Xiaoguo Army." Government envoy Lu Ziliang said.

"Well, that's why we can't let people see the retreat of my Xiaoguo army. Once backing down, what about next? Are we making a concession? Hanging my Youzhou Flame Qilin Banner requires you to pay a deposit to my Xiaoguo Army, and it is necessary for my Xiaoguo Army to surround their safety. These businessmen, but our foundation, cannot be surprised. Also, the Flame Qilin Banner must not be humiliated! Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"I think it's feasible, we must give the cats and dogs in Qingzhou a little color, otherwise, how can those merchants be willing to pay more money and beg for my Flame Qilin Flag? How would you be willing to register in my Youzhou? When they registered, we had already given a guarantee that all the places that were in the hands of Youzhou and Jizhou would be defended by our Xiaoguo army. Now is the time to test my trustworthiness. We can't back down! Government envoy Yang Wangzhen also said loudly.

"Okay, immediately report this matter to Youzhou and Jibei, and my Xiaoguo army wants to seek justice for them, so that everyone knows that my Xiaoguo army can defend its people." Zhao Xun slapped the table and said coldly.

"Lord, Khitan good news!" Han Meng, the guard outside the hall, entered the hall and said with a smile.

"Oh? It seems that the Khitan war has subsided. Let the herald's soldiers in. Zhao Xun said with a smile on his face.

"Has the Khitan war subsided? It wasn't ...... before," Pei Yi said puzzled.

"Does Envoy Pei want to say that the previous intelligence is still a series of defeats, how can there be a sudden good news?" Zhao Xun asked with a smile.

Pei Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "My subordinates do have some doubts. ”

Lu Ziliang smiled and said: "Lord Pei, don't forget, Lord Li was the governor of Youzhou in the past, and he was promoted by military merits. Losing streaks? Don't be fooled! ”

Pei Yi was stunned, suddenly realized, shook his head and said, "It turns out that Lord Li has set a trap for the Khitan five-part coalition army. Consecutive battles and defeats, I think it is a series of battles and retreats. ”

"Meet the Lord!" The soldiers who reported the victory were the soldiers of the personal guard battalion who went north with Li Jinqian.

"How's it going?"

"Back to the lord, five days ago, General Li fought at night, and wiped out more than 60,000 people of the five allied forces in one battle, and the patriarchs of the five tribes, one surrender and three deaths!" As he spoke, he handed the good news in his hand to the guards of the battalion.

Zhao Xun took a look at it and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good!" Since then, the eight Khitan divisions have become four. Here, you can also see how our General Li plays tricks. As he spoke, he handed over the good news in his hand.

After seeing it, the military envoy Situ Liang couldn't help but sigh: "What a lure the enemy to go deep and cut off his lair!" General Li's strategy, Situ Liang is ashamed! ”

"Lord, announce this, we may not have to go east to Qingzhou." Lu Ziliang stroked his palm and smiled.

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "Qingzhou may not need to attack, but the actions of our various armies must be done and give them some pressure, otherwise, how can the benefits be so easy to get." Pei Yi immediately spread the good news to all parts of Youzhou and northern Hebei. ”

"Now, it's time for us to think about the arrangement of the four Khitan departments."

Pei Yi said: "Since General Li has already proposed to redivide the territory of the four departments, limit the soldiers and horses in his hands, and establish the Khitan Eight Banners, why don't we act like this." ”

Yang Wangzhen said: "This method is feasible, but there are still shortcomings, we also need to move their family members, children and grandchildren who have reached the age of ten to Youzhou City, to learn Han culture." In addition, you must go to Youzhou to meet the lord once in the year, and nothing can be delayed. In addition, the new patriarchs of each ministry must be selected from among the heirs who have moved into Youzhou City, and they can only take over after being given the title by the Xiaoguo Army. All ethnic groups have a quota of troops, and they must wait for the edict of the lord at any time. Our Xiaoguo army also has to send observation envoys and training envoys to various ministries. First, to inspect the situation of each department, and secondly, to train golden warriors for each department. ”

Pei Yi was stunned and said, "Brother Yang, you are ruthless enough." ”

Yang Wangzhen smiled: "This is how to deal with this kind of alien race. It's just a pity that the grassland is only suitable for grazing, and my Han people are not proficient in it. Otherwise, there will be a large number of immigrants. Saying that, Yang Wangzhen had a look of regret on his face.

Everyone's faces changed a few times, and they couldn't help but admire Yang Wangzhen's ruthlessness. In this way, the leaders of the various tribes are basically controlled. Xi and Han culture? Then you will become a supporter of the Xiaoguo Army. In addition, observer envoys were also sent to monitor the heads of various departments and conduct military training to supervise. Or even control the army.

Can't the ministries see the sinister thing about this? No, it's just that they don't dare to disobey at the moment.

Lu Ziliang said slowly: "It's not that the Han people can't immigrate, although the Han people don't know how to herd, but can they learn, the Han people's ability to accept is the strongest." In addition, isn't it natural that there are hundreds of thousands of Khitan prisoners who are given or sold to Han people who are willing to move north as slaves and grazing for their masters? The Khitan tribe was originally the slave of the master, and if they were given to the Han people, maybe they would like it more. The masters of the Han people are much better than their original masters. If you really can't do it, then kill all these men, and match these women to the Han soldiers who moved north and the Han soldiers stationed in the Khitan, and after giving birth to children, won't they all become my Han people? More than a decade later, what are we afraid of? ”

"Hiss......" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. This idea is more absolutely unique than Yang Wangzhen, but everyone admires it.

Zhao Xun couldn't help nodding secretly, and also thought of some situations.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Military Envoy Lu's idea is very good, I want to add some on it." I want to build a city in the area of the Khitan thousands of miles from north to south and six hundred miles from east to west. One in the north, south, east and west, and one in the middle, is the place where our merchants trade, and in addition, it is also the place where our army is stationed. ”

"Founding a city? Lord, building a city on the grassland is not an easy thing. Pei Yi frowned and said.

"It doesn't matter, we built a city with cement mixed with earth, didn't there be hundreds of thousands of prisoners, and let men be workers. Rather than be killed, it is better for me to use it. The city and official roads are connected, so it is extremely convenient for our army to come and go. Just now, Military Envoy Lu also said it. He said that he would send these captives to the people who had migrated north. In my opinion, it is better to give these women to meritorious soldiers, and besides, to marry these women to meritorious men. ”

Zhao Xun glanced at everyone and said, "I will ask for merit for the generals this time, and ask the court for the title." On the grassland, each of you has a fief of several hundred households. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but be hot. Knighthood, this is a matter of glory to the ancestors, and more importantly, according to Zhao Xun's meaning, they still have a fiefdom. Although there is no land, there are slaves. These Khitan slaves will be their subjects in the future.

"Situ Liang!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Let Li Huaiyuan's military envoy and the Shadow Division select eight banner masters and establish the Khitan Eight Banners, each with 5,000 people. As for their food and grass supplies, there are four ministries to provide them. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"Let the patriarchs of the four tribes write down the Shun Table, as well as the Shun Table of the Beihai Tribes, and submit it to the imperial court with my request for merit."

"The Secretary for Administration, the Military Verification Department, together you have compiled a list of various meritorious soldiers, including those who have died in battle. I want to take credit for them. In addition, according to the size of the merit, giving a certain number of slaves is also considered part of the knighthood and reward. Zhao Xun said slowly.

Yang Wangzhen's political envoy immediately sent officials to the Khitan tribes to assist General Li in dividing the territories for the tribes and explaining their responsibilities and obligations. In addition, the owner of the Eight Banners said that all the families of the Eight Banners soldiers could be naturalized as Han and not be slaves of the clan chief. The patriarchs of the four tribes have no right to interfere with the recruitment of their soldiers by the Eight Banners. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

Pei Yi smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, I'm afraid the imperial court will not grant the title of soldier to our army." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Whether he gives it or not, it has nothing to do with us, the feudal lords you deserve will still give it." ”

In addition, the Chief Secretary for Administration has also started construction plans to build five cities at the same time. By the way, it is also necessary to appease the patriarchs of the four tribes, and their families do not need to come except for their children and grandchildren who want to come to Youzhou City to study literature. Sue them that their children and grandchildren may become classmates with my son in the future. ”

Situ Liang stroked his palms and smiled: "In this way, how can they refuse?" ”
