persuade farmers to mulberry, herd cattle and sheep, and enrich the people first; After the people can be satisfied, they will use criminal law to restrain the people, build a strong army outside, resist foreign enemies, and stabilize the territory; In the end, Confucianism was used again to educate the people, and finally it was governed.
Wen Yanbo said that with such a good foundation in Huaihuang Town, it will not take much time to make a big deal of it. Wen Yanbo even took the initiative to ask himself to come forward and find a few old and famous Confucian scholars for Li Chongjiu, and let them serve as the doctoral teachers of the county school to teach the disciples of the county school to learn etiquette.
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, what he is implementing now is actually an improved version of the imperial examination system in later generations. In the past, the county officials were either the chief officials or the old people, and most of these people were from local scholars. Therefore, when the county order and the head of the county guard can go to a place, they have to act according to the face of the local nobles, and even swallow their anger, just asking for peace and quiet during their tenure. When Li Chongjiu was stationed in Feihu County, Chengchong District and County Cheng dared not to sell Li Chongjiu's face, and this is also the reason.
Therefore, in the past, if you can suppress your subordinate officials during your tenure, you can become a famous minister in later generations.
Li Chongjiu was convinced that the implementation of such a system would be equivalent to the training of a qiē official from the county school, and at least it would reduce the interference of the Haoqiang clan in the local area and strengthen the power of the central government. In this way, the power of the local nobles was suppressed. As for the expansion of Li Chongjiu's territory in the future, these students will continue to become new bureaucrats, and finally fight against the Hebei Shi clan.
Li Chongjiu wrote several doctoral candidates recommended by Wen Yanbo to Zhou Xu, and Ji Chuan read it, both of them knew that they were famous Confucians, and they were much stronger than Zhou Xu in terms of learning, and there was even one person who was Zhou Xu's master. So Li Chongjiu appointed several doctors at the same time, these doctors were all virtuous, and they were all given the treatment of joining the army in the county government.
Li Chongjiu set up a banquet for Sima Wen Yanbo in Huaihuang Town, and Sun Erniang, Zhou Xu, Ji Chuan, Liu Yi, Tan Zong, Wang Mahan, Etuo, and Yinghe Fudu all came to congratulate. When everyone was feasting, suddenly Lin Dangfeng hurriedly entered and informed Li Chongjiuyan that Henan had changed dramatically.
It turned out that after Li Mi led 100,000 Wagang troops to cross Henan, he fought fiercely with Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of the 12 provinces of Henan in the imperial court, several times in fierce battles, all of which were invincible. Seeing that he could not defeat Zhang Xutuo, Zhai Rang wanted to lead his troops to retreat to Shandong, but Li Mi refused to persuade Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang agreed, so Li Mi led more than 1,000 troops to ambush in the north forest of Dahai Temple, and let Zhai Rang lead the main force to fight fiercely with Zhang Xutuo. Zhai Rang was defeated by Zhang Xutuo, withdrew more than ten miles, Zhang Xutuo chased after him, as a result, Li Mi suddenly killed, and Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang also led the army to encircle, Zhai Rang returned to the army to fight again, the Sui army was defeated, and Zhang Xutuo finally committed suicide in defeat.
Zhang Xutuo was defeated, and the soldiers of the department cried for several days, and the counties of Henan were depressed. The imperial court urgently ordered Pei Renji to be the ambassador of Henan Province to arrest him, lead the remnants of Zhang Xutuo on his behalf, and guard the tiger prison to resist Li Mi's westward advance. At the same time, the imperial court intended to transfer troops from Hebei, Shanxi, and Chang'an into Henan to prepare to defeat Li Mi.
When Li Chongjiu heard the news that Zhang Xutuo was defeated by Li Mi, he was happy and worried. The good thing is that as soon as Zhang Xutuo died, there were no more good generals in the court, and he could destroy the anti-king from all sides. The overthrow of the Great Sui is irreversible. But the worrying thing, Zhang Xutuo is still inevitable death, although it is delayed for half a year compared with history, but as soon as Zhang Xutuo dies, the imperial court will immediately transfer troops from Chang'an to reinforce the eastern capital, so Guanzhong is empty.
And this Li Yuan's opportunity came, but Li Chongjiu was convinced of his efforts and persuaded Li Mi to attack Hebei first, and finally delayed Li Yuan's time to raise troops for half a year to buy time for himself. Or it also helped other anti-kings who intend to dominate the world, like Dou Jiande, to buy time.
At that time, Lin Dangfeng's next words made Li Chongjiu frown for a while. It turned out that Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan as the imperial court and the general of the right Xiaowei, although Li Yuan was dormant in Jinyang, he was also recruiting troops and buying horses, and many children of the scholar clan came to join Li Yuan.
Li Chongjiu knows very well the methods of Li Yuan's father and son, and the three of them, Li Yuan's father and son, are all masterpieces in the world. Li Yuan seems to outsiders to be an earnest elder, benevolent and faithful, Li Jiancheng seems to be gentle and elegant, while Li Shimin is both civil and military, treats people with heart, bends to the corporal, and does not take people by his family. The father and son are all good at winning people's hearts.
And compared with the world's anti-king. Li Mi has a little bit of talent, and there is no more left in his eyes, the division of Wagangzhai in history, and Li Mi Hou's old officials who returned to the court, and thinned the old brothers of the original Wagangzhai, which is also one of the reasons for Li Mi's defeat in the future. Later, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, and he would rather go west to vote for Li Yuan than return to Shandong, thinking that Xu Shiji and other Wagang generals would rebel.
As for Dou Jiande's personality charm, he is not inferior to Li Yuan's father and son, but he has no choice but to come from a humble background, and even the Hedong Shi clan doesn't buy his account, let alone the Guanxi Shi clan, and as for the court officials who surrendered, they are even more unreliable. There are only a few rebel kings left, either they are willing to be Turkic lackeys and isolate themselves from the people, or they are the generations of Zhu Cang and Du Fuwei, not to mention.
The general trend, to put it bluntly, is the hearts of the people!
Once Li Yuan raised troops, he could seal the Xinjiang officials, plus the name of the Li clan in Longxi, and then directly take Guanzhong, and won the support of the Guanxi scholars and the old officials of the imperial court, which is what the people want. Otherwise, Liang Shidu, Li Rail, and Xue Ju can also win Guanzhong in terms of strength, why is it only cheaper than Li Yuan in the end. Li Chongjiu can't change Li Tang's momentum, but he can postpone it, and the time for Jinyang to raise troops is just to buy time for himself and the anti-kings.
Compared with history, Li Chongjiu has more than half a year to correspond to Li Tang's rise, if there is nothing to do in this half-year gap, then Li Tang's general trend is irreversible.
Everyone in the hall talked a lot, and everyone was still happy when they heard Li Mi defeat Zhang Xutuo, after all, although Li Chongjiu did not raise the banner to oppose Sui, but now he is also a separatist party. The imperial court was fragmented, and there was no strong central government, which was a welcome sight for the separatist forces. As for whether the people are suffering because of the war, most people do not have such a high ideological consciousness.
With the Wagang army gaining a firm foothold in Henan, and the five counties of Hebei, Zhou Xu, Ji Chuan and others are quite optimistic about Li Mi, and they will be able to capture the eastern capital and seize the world in the future. But Wen Yanbo did not say anything.
Wang Mahan couldn't help but smile and asked, "Does Sima Wen have a different opinion?" ”
Wen Yanbo put down his wine glass and said: "Although Henan is different from Hebei, the Henan scholars all support Li Mi, but the eastern capital is a place of four wars, and the waterway is convenient, and the imperial court cannot tolerate the loss of the eastern capital, and will definitely transfer troops from all sides to reinforce it, even if Li Mi wants to capture the eastern capital, it will take several years, so it is not yet possible to assert that Li Mi can seize the world." ”
Ji Chuan nodded on the side and said, "What Wen Sima said is very true, the eastern capital is too far away, we are just watching, it is better to look at the present." Zhang Xutuo is defeated, then in the hands of the imperial court, there are not many troops that can be mobilized, if Xue Shixiong leaves, Zhuojun is an opportunity for us to take advantage of the void. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Exactly, but before attacking Zhuo County, we must first break Luo Yi and open the way." ”
Wen Yanbo arched his hand and said: "Make your words very good. ”
Luo Yi and Gao Kaidao are both strong opponents of Li Chongjiu competing for Zhuo County, before Xue Shixiong moved, Li Chongjiu must defeat these two first, otherwise he can only make wedding dresses for others if he is not careful, after all, history is Luo Yi who entered Zhuo County in the end.
Li Chongjiu asked Sun Erniang at the moment: "Fifth aunt, how did you talk with Minister Xi?" ”
Sun Erniang said: "Xiao Jiu, you can rest assured, the elders have accepted our gifts, and as long as we don't mobilize more than six thousand cavalry, there is no objection." ”
"What is the current trend of Yinghefu, Turkic, Xi tribe, and Khitan?"
Yinghe said: "There is news from the Turks that Shibi Khan is seriously ill, and now his younger brothers and sons are competing for the next Khan Khan. ”
Li Chongjiu listened and nodded, the Turks are brave by nature, it is best to fight for them, the position of Khan can be designated by the previous Khan, as for the little Khan, the special service, Ye Hu, they also have the power to elect the Khan, and they also have the power to be elected as the Khan. Li Chongjiu remembered that the current son of Shibi Khan was the famous Tuli Khan in later generations. Every time the Turkic Khan chooses, it is the survival of the fittest within the clan, and the few people who hope to seize the Khan fight openly and secretly, and I don't know how many people will die at that time. At this time, they have absolutely no external force, and they will pay attention to Huaihuang Town.
"As for the other four tribes of the Xi tribe, the Mukun tribe is still facing me, with him to balance, the other three tribes will not act rashly, not to mention that their clan leader has just commanded our cattle and sheep, and he will not send troops at this time. As for the Khitan, last year, Wuhou Qinshui fought a battle, suffered heavy casualties, and his vitality has not recovered, there is no Turkic provocation, and there is no spare strength to invade. ”
Well, the northern threat is gone. Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed, as for the situation in the south, Lin Dangfeng had already reported to himself, Liu Wuzhou would not rashly send troops before defeating Chen Xiaoyi, and Dou Jiande had already gone south to capture the counties of Hebei, as soon as Yang Yichen left, Duan Lao's Sui army was not an opponent for Dou Jiande at all, and the counties of Hebei were now a plate of fat for Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande will not stop eating meat, but will come to the valley to gnaw bones. What's more, the two sides have just negotiated peace.
Now Li Chongjiu's strategic situation around him can be described as the safest moment, if he sleeps at home, then it will be a pity.
So Li Chongjiu looked at Etuo and said, "How is the co-optation of the Ding Ling departments of Liaoxi County?" ”
Eto said: "Please rest assured that after the Ding Ling troops received the swords and salt we sent, they all agreed to our conditions. When our army sends troops to Liaoxi, it can provide assistance. ”
"Good." Li Chongjiu nodded slowly.
Li Chongjiu said: "The training of the five thousand soldiers of Shanggu County has been completed, and I have decided to recruit another three thousand soldiers. I ordered Wei Chi Gong, Zhao Que'er, and Zhao Quanting to lead 3,000 county soldiers to immediately go north and rush to Huaihuang Town. ”
