Chapter 168: Punishing the King of Beiliang (I)

Someone must always be responsible for defeat, and only clear rewards and punishments can serve the public. The warriors of the Manshu tribe are rude and don't understand any big truths, the only thing they understand is that there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and clear rewards and punishments are a key reason to maintain the fighting spirit of the Manshu warriors.

This defeat had a great negative impact on the morale of the Liao army, and most importantly, it shook the myth that the Manshu warriors refused to defeat in the field.

The two main persons in charge of this defeat were the commander and deputy commander of the Southern Army of the Great Liao Expedition. Coach Wan Yan Fushen has been stripped of his position as a general. The position of general is the highest military position in the Liao State, and the whole army of the Manshu tribe will definitely be convinced by this punishment.

After dealing with Yan Fushen, it was Yu Yansong's turn. As the deputy commander of the Southern Army, after this defeat, Yu Yansong could not escape punishment.

As for how to deal with Yu Yansong, Wanyan Shengcong had a headache. How to deal with Yu Yansong involves getting the problem far more complicated than dealing with Yan Fushen. Wanyan Fushen is a member of the Manshu tribe, how to deal with Wanyan Fushen, and in the end, it is still a matter within the Manshu clan.

Yu Yansong was a newly annexed Han Chinese, and the influence of the Yu family in Liaodong played a pivotal role in whether the Liao Empire could stabilize and control the occupied areas in Liaodong. The Liao army was able to quickly gain a foothold in the hinterland of eastern Liao, and Yu Yansong's contribution was indispensable.

For a long time in the future, Wanyan Shengcong still needs to leverage the Yu clan to realize his plan to completely control Liaodong. After all, the Manshu are an emerging tribe with limited strength. The fatal problem of the Manshu people is that the Manshu people are scarce, and the scarcity of people makes the Manshu soldiers not very abundant. The Manshu people claim that they have 300,000 people who control the strings, which is true, but these 300,000 are the maximum number of troops that can be mobilized within the Manshu tribe.

Of course, the Manshu tribe had to recruit 300,000 troops, and all men between the ages of 15 and 60 could only be conscripted into the army. And that's just theoretical data. In fact, it is not feasible, unless it is at the critical moment of the life and death of the Manshu people, and the Ju tribe has to fight for the survival of the Manshu people, and all the people are soldiers, this situation can only occur. Under normal circumstances, the Manshu only maintained a standing army of 200,000.

Otherwise, the Manshu people would not have been extremely saddened by the loss of 30,000 Manshu soldiers this time. 30,000 men is equivalent to 10 percent of the total strength of the Manshu people.

In the case of insufficient troops of the ethnic group, it is a wise choice to fight the Han people with the help of the Han people's troops. This is also a clear path that Chen Yankai pointed out to him at the beginning: if you want to achieve great things, you can't just focus on the Manshu tribe itself. If you want to enter the Central Plains, the policy of the Han people is particularly crucial, and Chen Yankai's strategy for Yan Shengcong is four words: Han to control Han.

Wanyan Shengcong appreciated Chen Yankai's strategy, he could directly conquer the Han people with the Han people, and it would be better if the warriors of the Manshu tribe shed less blood.

The appointment of Yu Yansong as the deputy commander of the Southern Army is the embodiment of Wanyan Shengcong's strategy of using the Han to control the Han Dynasty. It is also the first time that the strategy of using the Han system has been put into practice. Although the first practice of this strategy cut such a big heel, Wanyan Shengcong did not waver in the strategy of using Han to control Han. He still wants to believe that this strategy is right.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, the founding of the Manshu tribe showed that the Manshu tribe had completed a qualitative change from quantitative change, and the original Manshu tribe could only be regarded as one tribe. After the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan moved the capital to Liaoyang, the Manshu people completed the transformation from a tribe to a country.

If the handling of Wanyan Fushen still belongs to the category of Manshu clan affairs, then how to deal with Yu Yansong will really rise to the category of state affairs. Naturally, it is more prudent to handle state affairs than to handle clan affairs. This is also the reason why Yu Yansong asked to see him, and Wanyan Shengcong kept Yu Yansong outside the hall and disappeared, and first made a cautious treatment of Wanyan Fu. While dealing with Yan Fuxian, Wan Yan Shengcong has been thinking about how to deal with Yu Yansong more prudently.

At the beginning, the clan elders in the Manshu clan had a lot of complaints about appointing a Han man to be the deputy marshal of the Southern Liao Army, and strongly opposed the appointment of Yu Yansong as the deputy marshal of the Southern Army.

The disposal of Yu Yansong is heavy, and the Han people of the Han army who belong to the annex are afraid that there will be complaints, and the disposal of Yu Yansong is light, and the clan elders have opinions. This king of a clan is really more difficult to do than the sweat of a clan.

Wanyan Shengcong never mentioned Yu Yansong in front of the Manshu clansmen, and during this period, two or three uninteresting clan elders wanted to lead the conversation to Yu Yansong, but Wanyan Shengcong skillfully avoided the past. It wasn't until it was getting late, and when the meeting had to be dismissed, Wanyan Shengcong dismissed the people in the hall and told them that something would be discussed tomorrow.

It has only been a year since the Manshu people entered Liaodong, and the hundreds of years of ethnic estrangement cannot be diluted. The elders of the Manshu tribe still reject the Han people from the bottom of their hearts, and the failure of this southern expedition, these elders just grasped Yu Yansong's handle and thought, this is really a good opportunity to fan the flames, and the elders of the Manshu tribe have no reason to let go.

The two most powerful Han people in the Liao Empire were Chen Yankai and Yu Yansong. Chen Yankai, as the chief assistant of the Great Liao Empire, has won the trust of Wanyan Shengcong, and Chen Yankai's contribution to the rise of the Manshu people over the years is clearly there. The elders of the Manshu tribe are not stupid enough to take Chen Yankai and kill the arrogance of the Han people.

More importantly, there is no one in the Manshu clan who is qualified for the position of Liao State Zaifu, the position of Liao State Zaifu. For a long time, it will be done by Chen Yankai.

As for Yu Yansong, he is the only person in the Liao Empire who holds heavy troops, worships high-ranking officials, and enters the prince of Beiliang Wangjun. Hitting Yu Yansong hard to hit the Han people is something that the old Manshu clan is happy to do.

But now, it was so late, Wan Yan Shengcong was already tired, and they all said that they wanted to rest, and they didn't continue to force Yan Shengcong to talk about how to deal with Yu Yansong.

sent away the important ministers of the Manshu tribe, and Wanyan Shengcong left Chen Yankai alone. Discuss how to deal with Yu Yansong.

Wanyan Shengcong trusts Chen Yankai very much, and has long regarded Chen Yankai as a minister of humerus. There is no shortage of generals in the Manshu tribe who lead troops to fight, but there are few or even no talents who can guide the country and give advice in the temple. Chen Yankai just made up for this vacancy.

The post of Zaifu of the Great Liao State, except for Chen Yankai, who deserves it? !

Chen Yankai also understood Wan Yan Shengcong's intention of leaving him alone. As a courtier of a different race, Wanyan Shengcong can trust and appreciate himself so much, what regrets does he have in this life?

What about the barbarians?! Da Zhao didn't give him a place to display his talents, but Liao Guo gave it! In order to prove his talent, in order to achieve a great cause, what is it to bear the infamy of the ages!

Death for a confidant. Wanyan Shengcong is his confidant of Chen Yankai.

Chen Yankai thought so. (To be continued.) )
