Not only this message, but many others, some useful and some not.

Song Jiu sorted out this information, and first had to find out the reason why Li Jiqian was able to become powerful, not only Li Jiqian's military ability, but also the various ethnic groups who supported him so desperately. This is not in Liaodong, the entire rear is full of Jurchens, and it is extremely backward. After the civilization and civilization of the four prefectures were established, there were still many Han people, Tuyuhun people, Tubo people, and Qiang people of other races, and these races were not united with each other, even the party members.

So you have to find out the real reason before you can prescribe the drug.

He put down the business in his hand and stayed in the Privy Council for two days, and finally sorted out some clues.

Also, how to prescribe this potion.

After thinking about it for two more days, Song Jiu threw out these two pieces of information in the political hall.

Song Jiu told the history of the difficult situation again, the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties did not talk about it, it was in the past tense. It's not about their history, it's about mentality and right and wrong.

Zhao Kuangyin succeeded to the throne, Li Yiyin came to surrender, and avoided changing his name, is Li Yixing so loyal to the Song Dynasty? No, all he did was to get the Central Plains Dynasty's recognition of his regime in Xiazhou in order to reap the benefits. The effect is also good, Zhao Kuangyin admitted his right to govern in Dingyan, and the official worshiped Taiwei, who could get this position in the early Song Dynasty, except for Li Yixing, there was only one person, Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was also sitting, and said in a cold voice: "Song Jiu, what was the ability of the imperial court to look west at that time?" ”

"Yes, but I didn't say that the first emperor did something wrong, the history I told me was to find out the reason why Li Jiqian was able to gather all the clans to rebel from history."

Zhao Pu didn't say anything more.

During this time, he suffered some heavy losses, and his new in-law Gao Huaide died. The influence of this family business gradually declined. Comrade-in-arms Lao Wang Pu also died, which had a greater impact.

So Zhao Pu sent someone to threaten. said that Wang Pu was angry with Song Jiu.

After Song Jiu heard the rumors, he only said one sentence: "If Wang Pu is angry with me, it can only mean that he is a thief." If I didn't do something wrong, why should I be afraid that the ghost would knock on the door in the middle of the night, if I didn't do anything wrong, how could I be angry with him? Regardless of right or wrong, it is shameful to make a fuss about dead people. ”

Zhao Pu is a conspiracy, and Song Jiu is a conspiracy, and they are quite equal.

But in military affairs, Zhao Pu did not dare to interfere, this was not his forte, and he would bring humiliation on himself if he didn't do it well. Hence the silence.

Song Jiu also has a boss. It stands to reason that Cao Bin is the No. 1 Prime Minister of Xifu, and he is only the No. 2 Prime Minister. However, Cao Bin was not in a good mood at this time, and he said a few months ago that it would be difficult for Bazhou not to rebel, and he rebelled before his voice fell, so what can he say?

Song Jiu continued.

Anyway, Li Yixing did okay, but Zhao Kuangyin treated him well.

Continuing to intrigue and intrigue, Song Jiu offered a strategy before. Zhao Kuangyin did not adopt it, not because he did not attach importance to the northwest, but because he thought that Song Jiu's strategy was too radical.

Emperor Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty took advantage of the unstable establishment of the Song Dynasty and colluded with the Khitan and the soldiers and horses of the northern towns on the west bank of the Yellow River. Li Yixing sent troops to Linzhou to rescue. Liu Jun had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and Li Yixing reported to Zhao Kuangyin. It seems to be meritorious, but Li Yixing did this to keep the four states of Dingyan. And from the point of view of five generations of history. Although Zhao Kuangyin did not have the intelligence system that Song Jiu developed now, his intuition told him that the Li family had to pay attention. Sent the five-way jiedu envoy to the front line of Yanzhou Lingzhou.

Li Yixing was helpless. His arms could not dry his thighs, so he offered three hundred horses. He knew each other. Zhao Kuangyin rewarded him with jade. In fact, if Li Yixing has any bad actions at this time, Zhao Kuangyin is very likely to do it. The five major festivals in the northwest make it difficult to mess with one! However, Li Yixing did not give it a handle, and Zhao Kuangyin focused on unifying the Central Plains and continued to be super restrained.

In fact, at this time, the ethnic groups in the northwest saw that the Central Plains was in endless civil strife and continuous replacement, and gradually looked down on the Central Plains Dynasty. Li Yixing was still able to restrain the clans, Li Yixing died, and Li Guangrui succeeded him. Several Tibetan tribes began to do businessless business on the border of the Northern Song Dynasty. Lee acquiesced in their actions.

He didn't care about Zhao Kuangzhuan's care, and quickly sent troops to let Dong Zunzhi suppress them, so Li Guangrui pretended to be grateful to the imperial court, and Xie Lu thanked Zhao Kuangyin for quelling the rebellion for Xiazhou. Then Li Guangxiu, the assassin of Suizhou, died, and Suizhou was in turmoil, this time Li Guangrui was super skilled, and quickly sent troops to quell the civil strife and supported Li Guangxiu's son Li Pilu as the assassin of Suizhou. This is because he is afraid that Zhao Kuangyin will take the opportunity to send troops to Suizhou under the pretext of quelling the rebellion. and then with the previous clans robbing Li Guangrui's performance, you can see Li Guangrui's mentality.

They were very skeptical of the loyalty of the Song Dynasty, but their methods were very clever.

Then the Panmei Party invaded the Northern Han Dynasty, Li Guangrui sent troops to help, broke the Wu Fort, and obtained countless cattle and sheep armor. So wait for the Yellow River to freeze and cross the river, so withdraw the troops. Let's see how the folded family helps each other? That's what really comes to help.

Zhao Kuangyi became the emperor, Li Guangrui changed his name to Li Kerui, but there was an incident in his territory, some Qiang people actually robbed the tribute from Lingzhou to the capital, Dong Zunzhi took people to Xiazhou, Li Kerui found the robbers, sent all the robbed tribute back, and apologized to the imperial court.

You must know who were the envoys of the five major festivals in the northwest at that time?

Zhao Zanyanzhou, Yao Neibin Qingzhou, Dong Zunzhi Huanzhou, Wang Yansheng Yuanzhou, Feng Jiye Lingwu.

These five tiger generals are all heavy generals at the level of Li Hanqiong.

How many generals in the army will be able to reach their level now? Even if there is, it is mostly placed in Hedong, Hebei, where is it willing to put all of them in the northwest?

But the Dingnan tribes did not take the Song Dynasty as one thing.

Without him, because of the Central Plains Dynasty's preferential treatment of them, it made them despise the Central Plains Dynasty more and more. They began to yearn for an absolute freedom of their own, a freedom that was not restricted by any outsiders, and continued to despise the Central Plains, and also let them plunder from time to time, and continue to be like in the Five Dynasties.

Therefore, this gave Li Jiqian the soil and mass foundation for his rebellion.

Li Kerui died, to Li Jiyun, Li Jiyun died, his son was still young, so Li Jiyun was established. However, Li Jisheng's ability was insufficient, and Li Keyuan, the assassin of Yinzhou, and his younger brother Li Keshun raised troops to attack Xiazhou, but the news leaked, and Li Jisheng set up an ambush to kill Li Keyuan. Li Kewen wrote to the imperial court. Please summon Li Jitou into the court. Although the various ethnic groups have not been silent for the time being, there has been a lot of civil unrest in the four states in the past. But it's all solved by yourself, when to use outsiders? Moreover, Li Jisheng sacrificed the four states of Dingyan. Many of the leaders were not convinced.

This is also the reason why Li Jiqian was able to quickly gain power with dozens of people.

Li Jiqian dared to do this. There is another reason, that is, he has a Han strategist named Zhang Pu under him.

It is this person who offered advice, Li Ji moved out of Jinze, where the water and soil are not as deteriorated as in later generations, although there is wind and sand, there can be a lot of pasture, and the desert has become the best cover for the Yan, only three hundred miles away from Xiazhou, and Liao. You can get a glimpse of Xiazhou when you enter, and you can flee to Liao for refuge when you retreat.

There are some tribes on the Dijin Ze, although they are economically dependent on the Song Dynasty, but they are respected by Feng Tuoba, and Li Jiqian's official position was in charge of the envoys, who managed these tribes, and here he has prestige and is convenient for initiating the masses.

"Your Majesty, not only will it be difficult for the four states. Including the Hengshan area, Lingwu and other places, there is this idea of contempt for the Central Plains. If you are careless, it is possible that the entire Northwest will be completely eroded. ”

"It won't be that ......serious," Cao said. But this time he was a little unconfident.

"Cao Gong, although there was no major incident in the northwest during the first emperor's time, it was General Li. General Yao, they are in the northwest, and they are all first-class generals. Moreover, the first emperor's focus was only on the south at that time, and he did not really move to the northwest. Now that the south has been retracted, the center of gravity is the north, and the situation will be different. Besides, if our dynasty can intervene in Liaodong, can't Liaoguo intervene in the northwest? The wool trade route has been opened, and the wool trade route will play a huge role in the northwest. The northwest is chaotic and the wool trade route is blocked, so we can't win over and block the divination and divide the Khitan, but our dynasty has to use troops in the northwest. How big is the disparity between a positive and a negative? ”

In fact, the main reason is that Li Jiqian is a demon.

However, Song Jiu said that Li Jiqian said that he was evil, what evidence is there?

At this time, he was very glad to have rushed back in time and opened up the wool trade route, otherwise he would not have found a reason to convince.

Everyone was silent.

The so-called wool trade routes were not only obscured, but also included the Tibetans, the Uighurs of Ganzhou, and the ethnic groups of the northwest.

And most of them started to wear warm woolen sweaters.

It also has the significance that the Song Dynasty traded with Da Shi, and the main imports of Da Shi were glass, spices, medicinal herbs, cotton products, blanket products, and some jewelry and jade.

Under the promotion of Song Jiu, glazed products were reversed for export, and with the start of new textile machinery, wool products and cotton products will also be dumped in turn to big food. Trade would generate a large surplus, and the Song dynasty would have more gold and silver to replenish the scarce currency.

"Song Qing, then what can you do?" Zhao Kuangyi asked.

No matter how important the wool trade route was, it was the first step towards prosperity, and Zhao Kuangyi did not want to make mistakes.

"Meishanman."

"Meishanman?" Zhao Kuangyi pondered.

Meishan barbarians often come out to burn, kill, and plunder, so that the Song Dynasty has a headache, Song Jiu's proposal, the imperial court uses both grace and power, that is the real grace, not the previous kind of buying-style grace, lifting the mountain closure policy, opening a mutual market at the border, providing transactions. If they were interested, the imperial court also sent people to guide them in farming, and took out part of the money to buy them ploughing cattle and farm tools. At the same time, with the rise of Zhudong Yuelu Academy, some schools were built nearby to teach their children to read and write for free. Even friendly tribes sent special people down to guide them to grow some cash crops and increase their income.

That's the side of Eun.

On the Wei side, the imperial court has stationed thirty battalions of officers and soldiers nearby, if there are rebels, they will be exterminated immediately, but not only the officers and soldiers will suppress it, the difficulty is not small, where the mountains and forests are deep, and the officers and soldiers are also a little beyond the reach of the whip. Therefore, some surrendered tribes were also invited to participate, and once the suppression was completed, all the property of the people of the rebel tribes would go to these tribes who assisted the officials in suppressing the rebellion. With some money, some wars broke out one after another. But there are not many people who oppose it, promoted by Song Jiu, and now from Tanzhou to Chenzhou, the economic development is also very fast, and everyone doesn't want to sit back and watch this Meishan man continue to harass the local area. But this change also made Song Jiu's plan successful.

When Zhao Chengzong went to Tanzhou, three or four avenues were built in the Meishan tunnel, and the barbarian tribes gradually settled down, and the officers and soldiers of the 30 battalions evacuated.

"Be careful."

Song Jiu turned his head to look at Zhao Pu.

In fact, it may not be so difficult to deal with Li Jiqian at this time. Li Jiqian is still young and has not fully grown up.

However, just as everyone does not admit that Li Jiqian will turn the world upside down, let alone admit that Li Jiqian will own the entire Xiasui Five Prefectures in the future, including Lingwu, and even take the Hexi Corridor in the future, forcing the Song Dynasty to station 300,000 troops on the Shaanxi border all year round. Just like Cao Bin, does he believe it now?

Also, he can't prove the loyalty of the Zhe family and the Wang family. The facts are not easy to say, the Zhe family and the Wang family are caught in the gap between the Western Xia and the Khitan, can they be disloyal to the Song Dynasty? Especially after the Fengzhou royal family was wiped out by the Western Xia, the Zhe family could only hug the thighs of the Song Dynasty tighter and tighter. If this is not the case, what does God know what the Dao thinks?

And this Zhao Pu.

What kind of proposal can Zhao Kuangyi accept, Zhao Pu will not oppose it too much, and it must be effective......

Song Jiu thought about it for two days, and when he said his proposal, he wrinkled his brows again, and seriously took the long test, which was especially close to the national fortune. (To be continued......)
