Chapter 651: Expeditionary Strategy
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The research given by that Tobe Langzhong is indeed correct. In fact, Zhao Guomin was already privately slaughtering cattle and selling beef. There is no way to do it, the market decides. After all, the Chinese of this era do not like to eat pork.
At that time, people thought that pork had a fishy smell, and officials and wealthy families did not eat it. The Compendium of Materia Medica also says that pigs, water animals, salty and cold, meat is slightly poisonous, and all meat is supplemented, but pork is not supplemented, and even doctors do not encourage people to eat pork. So at that time, only the poor and helpless people would eat pork.
As for horse meat, the Han people generally believe that horse meat is poisonous, and only Fan people eat horse meat.
At that time, the most mainstream food in society was mutton, and doctors also suggested that people use mutton as a tonic in winter. However, mutton is warm and easy to get angry, and more importantly, mutton has a smell, which makes some people not like to eat it. Underneath the lamb is the chicken, and the dog. But chicken, dog head and goose meat can't be on the table.
As for aquatic products, although there are many in the north, they are not nothing, but Chinese like to eat fish belly, which is raw meat, and fish belly is sashimi. Chen Deng during the Three Kingdoms was because he ate sashimi all day long, but as a result, he had too many parasites and died of illness.
The role of beef can be known from the sacrifice, and the three animals of the ancient sacrifice of cattle, sheep and pigs are all too strong, and without beef, it can only be called a young prison, which is one level worse. In ancient times, it has been forbidden to eat cattle, but the more forbidden it is, the more it is popular.
Therefore, eating beef has also become a common thing for heroes in the rivers and lakes, and the first thing anyone who conspires against is often to kill cattle. In the history books, when Liu Wuzhou rebelled, he indulged in wine and said: 'The thieves are rising, and the people are hungry. The strong man keeps the score, and the ditch is dead. Today's official Su is red and rotten in the warehouse. Who can take it with me? ’
When Liu Heimin rebelled, Hei Min was happy. The vertebral cattle feasted on more than 100 soldiers. A beef meal summoned a hundred soldiers for Liu Heimin. From the deeds of the two heroes, it can be seen why there are so few ploughing cattle in troubled times.
However, the reason why Youjing really wants to abolish the ban on slaughtering cattle is that the land of Youjing does not need to be in the Central Plains, because of Li Chongjiu's policy, the land of Youjing Mansion is inhabited by more than 100,000 people, and there are protons from all ethnic groups in the Guozi Prison. There are a large number of Fanren merchants in Youjing City, and there are also many Fanjun soldiers in the two armies of Yiwei and Wuwei.
Youjing and Han are mixed, but the people don't have the habit of not eating beef. Especially the Khitan people, there is still a habit of bull head banquet in Lari. So when these people eat beef in Youjing, whether Zhao Guo cares about it or not, is a problem.
As for the people, they also have their own ways to slaughter cultivated cattle. Da Zhao slaughtered cattle cultivators for one year. But what about the people, they don't say slaughter, but manslaughter. I accidentally killed my own cattle, and the court can't hold me accountable. The binding force of the ban on beef has become worse and worse, and now it is in the rich family. Secretly killing cattle has become an open secret. Even some restaurants are secretly selling beef.
As soon as the conclusion came out, the officials of Da Zhao knew it. I am deceiving myself, and the call for the abolition of the ban on cattle killing is getting louder and louder. Instead, there are calls for heavy taxes on the slaughter of cattle.
Wei Zheng also agrees with this concept, but whatever he thinks is beneficial to the people, it is good for the country, and since the abolition of cattle slaughter has become the trend of the times. Then it is meaningless for the imperial court to continue to cover its ears and steal the bell, if it is forcibly suppressed, it will be counterproductive, but it is better to comply with the will of the people.
"Wei Zaifu, Your Majesty has a summons, let people go to Linshuo Palace late at night, and discuss important matters." For this great Zhao Tianzi, Wei Zheng has long been surprised that he has temporarily asked people to get up in the middle of the night to discuss the matter of going to Linshuo Palace many times. Ji Chuan often complained that he called people into the palace in the middle of the night, and he had to go to court early the next morning, so that he could be safe.
Xue Wanshu said Ji Chuan, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, if it weren't for your important minister, you wouldn't even be qualified to be summoned into the palace in the middle of the night to discuss.
"Got it." Wei Zheng had just finished writing the fold, and he thought that he would take this opportunity to hand it over to Li Chongjiu.
Wei Zheng's carriage was not the fastest to come to Linshuo Palace, Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan and others were also one step faster. Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan both bought houses in the north square of Linshuo Palace, which is convenient for going to court on weekdays. As for Wei Zheng, he still lives near the Youjing Mushou Mansion. Therefore, Wei Zheng has to get up earlier than others every time he goes to court, so that he will not be late.
Wei Zheng saluted Wen Yanbo at the moment, while Wang Jue, Ji Chuan, Yu Shinan and others saluted Wei Zheng together. And they all entered the temple together.
But seeing that the hall was brightly lit, Li Chongjiu was sitting on a ladder with an oil lamp in his hand. Everyone could clearly see that the oil lamp in Li Chongjiu's hand was shining on the place of Goguryeo on the map.
"See Your Majesty!" The six of them paid homage to Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu said: "Don't be polite, I intend to attack Goguryeo, what do you think?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the six ministers all glanced at each other, and Ji Chuan asked first, "How is Your Majesty going to fight?" Autumn is coming soon, I went to send troops to prepare for mobilization for a month, and when the army arrived in Liaodong, it was already cold, how to attack the city? ”
Wang Jue also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, our army's five armies, there are three armies stationed in Luoyang, Shandong, Shaanxi, only Yiwei and Wuwei can be mobilized at the moment. ”
Li Chongjiu was not surprised at all when he heard Ji Chuan's resolute opposition from Wang Qi, and asked the other ministers with a smile: "Do you also see it this way?" ”
"Weichen knew that he wanted to take advantage of this time to capture Wuhuan Mountain, isolate the Turkic Goguryeo, and make every effort to clean up Goguryeo, but Weichen felt that he was too hasty," Wen Yanbo said: "Whether it is the financial and material resources reserved in the treasury of Youjing, it is not enough to support us to start a big war now, even if we want to fight Goguryeo, at least we must wait for the results of the Shandong war to come out, and then make a decision." ”
Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, it is said that Liaodong made a detailed report that Goguryeo stationed at least 100,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of the Great Wall of thousands of miles to guard against our army day and night, and built nearly 100 beacon towers by the Liaoshui, once our army has the intention of crossing the river in Liaoshui, Goguryeo will immediately know." Your Majesty, in the past few years, Goguryeo has been thinking about my Great Zhao, and Goguryeo's efforts to form a good Turk can be seen. ”
Yu Shinan rolled his eyes and said, "Wen Zaifu, there must be a reason for His Majesty to say this." ”
Wei Zheng glanced at Yu Shinan and said: "As a courtier, can you blindly welcome the king, Your Majesty will attack Goguryeo at this time, where is the chance of victory, please forgive Weichen for not seeing." Zhao fought on all sides this year, and after repelling the Turks, he carried out a southern expedition and returned to Youjing, and Shandong fell into war again, which was about to pass the winter, and His Majesty would attack Goguryeo at this time. ”
Wei Zheng counted Yu Shinan on the one hand, and opposed Li Chongjiu on the other, and Yu Shinan was very unhappy when he was reprimanded by Wei Zheng.
Li Chongjiu laughed and walked down the ladder at the moment. Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over the ministers, and after the excitement, he said: "You are not optimistic, I can succeed in attacking Goguryeo this time, so Goguryeo will definitely not think that I will send troops to fight at this time, right?" ”
"So if I lead an army to raid Pyongyang from the sea and attack the heart of Goguryeo, how do you think the Goguryeo people will react?"
When the ministers heard this, they were all surprised. "Don't go 6 places, but go to the sea?"
"That's right." Li Chongjiu nodded
"Goguryeo has a thousand miles of the Great Wall as a barrier, and the Turks as Austrian aid, repeatedly invaded my hometown in Liaodong, last year when I destroyed Wang Shichong, Goguryeo crossed the Liaoshui, killed 3,000 of our soldiers and civilians, this matter today I think of it I am angry," Li Chongjiu said, "Instead of gathering the main force to attack Liaodong City, it is better to go straight to the heart, Pyongyang is Goguryeo Gyeonggi, and the nearby is the land of Goguryeo agriculture, this autumn, the harvest in the Goguryeo field should be good, I am ready to help the Goguryeo people, free harvest for them." ”
Zhang Xuansu, who had been silent, also said at this time: "Capturing Pyongyang is better than capturing ten Liaodong cities, if you can overcome it in one battle, Goguryeo will be terrified." ”
Yu Shinan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's move will definitely surprise the Goguryeo people, it is really a big move." ”
Wei Zheng asked, "This plan sounds unexpected, but can Your Majesty be successful?" But the expedition across the sea is not a small risk. In case the Zhao army could not conquer Pyongyang City, and Goguryeo transferred troops back from the Liaodong front, then our army would be annihilated under the city. ”
"So the benefit is in the battle, Yang Servant, I can succeed in protecting my children back then, how can I not succeed."
Li Chongjiu now showed all the advantages of the talented Da Zhao. The ministers also nodded when they heard this, thinking that the opportunity was not small.
Zhang Xuansu said: "From Weichen's point of view, whether the attack on Goguryeo can be won this time depends on several key points, one is that the army crossing the sea must arrive in Pyongyang safely, and then return safely from Pyongyang, and there must be no hardships and dangers on the way. The second is whether the Silla army can cooperate. The third is whether the Goguryeo people are defenseless. ”
"The first point is not a big problem, there are maritime merchants, and there is no risk by sea."
"The second point is to contact the Silla people, it is imperative, this can inform Jin Chunqiu and Yuan Xiao, they are all the main battle faction of Silla, and they will definitely cooperate with us and others."
"The third point of secrecy is really important, we know that there is no Goguryeo work in the secluded capital."
Li Chongjiu listened and nodded.
"In addition, our army has to cross the sea to fight, but the sea is turbulent, and our two armies are fighting across the sea on foot, and I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. However, if the navy disembarks for 6 battles, I am afraid it will be difficult to be competent for the battle, especially a fortified city like Pyongyang. Wen Yanbo said.
Wen Yanbo's worries are not unfounded.
Sancha Estuary. One by one, warships floated down the river. The warship was full of soldiers and soldiers of Zhao. (To be continued......)
