Chapter 867: Zhao'an

"There is only one way to recruit peace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhi Kexing didn't touch the cup of tea, but said slowly.

"Zhao'an?!"

Zhi Kexing said with certainty: "Yes, these horse bandits are not like the previous horse bandits, the previous horse bandits, only know how to rob the merchants of my Dashun, but these horse bandits only rob the Khitan merchants......"

Xue Gang didn't understand the trick inside, and asked confusedly, "What's the difference?" ”

"It's a big difference! Among these two gang of horse bandits, there must be a group of fake horse bandits, specially designed to destroy the field; And the other group of real horse bandits are those who can't survive on the grassland......"

Xue Gang was taken aback: "Someone dares to destroy private affairs?" ”

"Why don't you dare? What is selfishness? Although the court sent people to collect taxes and turned a blind eye to the private establishment, this does not mean that the private affairs are in accordance with the law. If there is really a war, Yunnei Prefecture City will only become an enemy city in an instant! ”

Zhi Kexing has a clear understanding and ruthlessly debunks the reality: "The people in the city are too complicated, there are Jurchens, Khitans, Goryeo, Murowei, Xi, Bohai, and Menggu...... If there is a real war, who can guarantee that there are no spies in the city? At that time, I am afraid that the state pastor will have to be withdrawn if he does not withdraw. ”

Although Xue Gang doesn't understand military affairs, he understands officialdom! It's not just on the battlefield. He only had to think about it for a moment, and he already understood.

"General, how is that good?"

Zhi Kexing looked at Xue Gang, who was trembling, and there was no disdain in his heart, only pity. It is also Lu Chengqi's soft-heartedness, such a big worm that eats rice, but he is just a degraded official, it is better to slaughter it with a knife, and it will be a hundred.

"Some people have sabotaged private affairs, and even Danzhou has had trouble with horse bandits before, so they must be deliberately trying to provoke Shunliao relations. Such a sinister person must be quite hidden, who can find out? Even the Department of Supervision has not yet had any clues! ”

When Xue Gang heard this, he was almost paralyzed by the conspiracy behind him: "Someone actually wants to provoke a war?" ”

"It's normal, Shunliao is a feud, and he will never turn hostility into friendship. As long as the time is right and the excuse is right, the two countries will have another dispute, which is just a matter of gestures. And the field is the button that maintains the status quo between the two countries, and the button of the clothes is broken, so what will happen? ”

Xue Gang was so frightened that his soul was not possessed: "Cracked? ”

"Yes, the covenant between my Dashun and the Liao State has long been invalidated for a period of three years. Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the covenant is there, it is just a piece of waste paper. The reason why the Liao State has endured in the past few years is that its vitality has not recovered, and with the sworn enemy of the Jurchen, there is no time to clone. And the field has also become a channel for the Liao State to rely on to obtain tea, porcelain and cloth. Once people with different intentions provoke the slightest stir, the two countries will certainly be wary of each other. At that time, don't talk about the field, even if the Liao army goes south, it is not unusual! ”

Zhi Kexing's analysis was methodical, and Xue Gang had no way not to believe it.

"General, since it is someone with ulterior motives to sow discord, how can you recruit peace?" Xue Gang asked worriedly, "It would be great if the horse bandits could be recruited, but I'm afraid they won't allow it!" ”

Zhi Kexing said with a smile: "This is just the previous horse bandits, but most of the horse bandits are different today, almost all of them are people of different races, according to the Khitan merchants, among them, there is not a single Han person." Why, can the state pastor know? ”

"Why?"

"The steppe people are born with the ability to ride and shoot, but the Han people are different......"

When Xue Gang heard this, he immediately understood: "So this horse bandit is a real horse bandit, and the previous horse bandit is a fake horse bandit!" ”

"Not bad! If the Han people can have such riding skills, they will certainly not be ordinary people. This group of people is scheming, pretending to be horse bandits, beating the relationship between the two countries, and their intentions are sinister! Zhi Kexing said in a deep voice, "Don't hide it from the state pastor, I have already handed this letter to the cabinet, and it will be presented to Your Majesty in the near future, so that Your Majesty can decide at his discretion." ”

"What about Zhao'an?"

"Only when the decree is handed down can we act!"

"But the horse bandits are becoming more and more rampant, and there are no Khitan merchants coming to private affairs, isn't it ......?"

Zhi Kexing sneered: "I have five thousand soldiers and horses in my hands, and I can maintain one or two trade routes, but I can't do it with a single effort!" I didn't notice it before, and I was just taken advantage of by horse bandits. ”

This is true, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. No matter how powerful you are, when others take advantage of your inattention, they attack where you can't see, and you are not a fairy, how can you expect that? In the past few years, under the growing strength of the bandit cavalry, the old horse bandits have long disappeared. This also made Zhi Kexing let his guard down, and it wasn't until recently, when there were more horse bandits, that he regained his vigilance.

"If you continue like this, Yunnei Prefecture will return to the desolate land before, General, you can save me!"

Xue Gang didn't want to be demoted anymore, so he could only hug Zhi Kexing's thighs.

Zhi Kexing said: "The state pastor might as well save himself!" ”

Xue Gang was stunned: "How to save yourself?" ”

"In the past, the state pastor pursued the principle of 'rule by inaction', but Yunnei Prefecture is still thriving, which is a good thing. But now, how can more than 30,000 families in the city survive except for private affairs? If the state pastor is sincere about the people, he should import technology from the Central Plains, or reclaim wasteland, or graze cattle and sheep, or sew leather jackets...... Only by giving the people a way to survive can Yunnei Prefecture City continue to exist. If it weren't for this, the people would not be able to make a living, so they could only abandon Yunnei Prefecture City, or go to the Central Plains, or enter the Great Wall, or go far away into the desert......"

Zhi Kexing's words are not alarmist. If there are no merchants and no people in Yunneizhou City, and there is an empty city, what can it do? At that time, the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials and the Supervision Department must be poor, and Xue Gang will have to demote even if he doesn't want to demote the official. Yunnei Prefecture City is already a border land, if it is degraded again, won't it have to go to Jiaozhi?

Xue Gang thought of this and snorted: "Thank you for the general's reminder, I know what to do!" ”

Looking at Xue Gang who was leaving in a hurry, Zhi Kexing shook his head: "If you don't waste your time, why is it like this now?" Relying on businessmen, after all, it is rootless duckweed! ”

It can't be blamed on the fold, it's just everyone's view of business in this era. Especially at the border, once a war starts, let alone businessmen, the people will not be able to save their lives! They will even be wrapped up in the army, and the old, weak, women and children will become siege weapons. How can the soldiers of benevolence, righteousness and morality bear to add swords and arrows to these innocent people?

This is also the reason why the Liao State is so aggressive, they think that they have found the weakness of the Han people, that is, they are too benevolent.

Kindness is not a fault, but cruelty is absolutely dehumanizing. Zhi Kexing has been in Datong Mansion for many years, and he is used to seeing the murderous Khitans, and he thinks that none of the Khitans are good, and all of them are cruel like a person, just like a beast.

Human nature, in the face of survival, is gone, and only animal nature remains.

But Zhe Kexing will not understand, because he only has hatred in his eyes towards the Khitans. (To be continued.) )
