Chapter 369: Tuoba
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the biggest change he made was to divide the military power into three points and the power to divide the military into three parts.
The military power is divided into three parts: Xifu, Sanya and locality, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, if it is bad, throughout the Song and Ming dynasties, it is almost impossible to see the King of Fan and the heavy generals to rebel and other events. Although there were, it could not plunge the country into the chaotic situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty.
But to say that it is good, whether it is the Song or the Ming Dynasty, except for a few moments, it is almost impossible to see the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages, if you think deeply, for example, the general does not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the main general is not familiar with his subordinates, can this battle be fought?
In response to this situation, Song Jiu made controversial reforms when Zhao Kuangyi completely took the power of the Jiedu Order.
The first move of the ban from the cities to the countryside was troublesome at the time, but in the long run, it was a positive change.
The cost of raising soldiers has decreased, the cost of supporting their families has also decreased, and leaving the prosperity and glitz of the capital, the soldiers will be more simple, and the combat effectiveness will be improved.
When you arrive at the border, you will be in Tuntian, and your living habits will not change much, so you can extend the rotation time. By rotating in batches, at least the commanders who remain on the border will know some of the soldiers and make it easier to command.
When the Song Dynasty had only begun to enforce it, there was some confusion and controversy, and many soldiers rented their camps to the common people. In actual history, the scale of the Song Dynasty's camp was not small, but it was also making this mistake. This is not only the lazy soldiers, they are from the capital, where can they farm? However, once seventy or eighty percent of the soldiers were converted to rural soldiers, this situation would not have arisen. There are many idle fields on the border. As long as it is cultivated, the border can often achieve self-sufficiency in food and grass, which in turn saves a lot of costs.
In fact, that reform was a good correction to Zhao Kuangyin's three-point military power.
Just keep it up. After the Song Dynasty, the situation of being trapped in redundant troops and redundant expenses will be greatly improved.
But in the three-point phase, Song Jiu made a regressive change.
Zhao Kuangyin used the power of the two eastern and western governments and the three divisions to divide the power, which was conducive to centralizing power and reducing the possibility of the ministers misleading the country and usurping the country.
However, Zhao Kuangyin also realized that there were all kinds of inconveniences, so the implementation of this three-way phase was very vague.
Until Song Jiu's return, the actual main right was still in Zhongshu.
Song Jiu clearly divided the powers and responsibilities of the eastern and western governments and did not interfere with each other. Then Xifu has military power, but no administrative power, let alone financial power. The three divisions have financial power, but no administrative power and military power, and the eastern government has administrative power but no military power and financial power. Even the Western Mansion has military power, but it does not have military power. There is no financial support. Then the power in the hands of the emperor can be strengthened.
Zhao Kuangyi was a lame duck in military affairs, and he couldn't see its drawbacks, but only saw that it was conducive to the king's concentration of power, so he happily acquiesced to Song Jiu's approach.
Can they actually be clearly distinguished?
For example, if we do not know how much the state will receive or raise troops to the front, can we make the best decision? When the Great War came, Xifu did not know the affairs of the state. The eastern government does not know the military plan of the western government, can it make the best decision?
But there was no Song Jiu. The Song Dynasty will also change upward. It wasn't until Fu Bi saw through this drawback and proposed a similar approach to Zhao Kuangyi in Bashu, so that the prime minister of the western province would also serve as the eastern government, and the prime minister of the eastern province would also serve as the western government, so that mutual understanding would prevent major mistakes in decision-making. However, it was not well executed.
So there was Li Jizhu's return to the dynasty.
The Dangxiang people originally lived in the area from the Songfan grassland to the southern part of Qinghai, where the Tuyuhun people were located in the north and west.
The history of migration to the north is even earlier, there was a Sui Dynasty, and it did not form a scale. It was not until the time of Tang Gaozong, forced by the Tubo people, that the party took the clan as a unit, and migrated to Longyou and Qingling Yinxia on a large scale, until the Tianbao period, which was the first large-scale migration of the party people.
After the Anshi Rebellion, it turned out that the Longyou tribes migrated to Qingxia Yanling, and Qingxia Yanling migrated to Yinsui, and some even crossed the Yellow River to reach the Hedong region. This is the second time that the party has moved inward.
During the Tang Dynasty, everyone may not pay much attention to it, but it can be seen in the Song Dynasty, which made the entire Yinchuan Plain and the north and south Hetao areas become the base camp of the party members, laying the foundation for the rise of Western Xia.
But at that time, the strength of the Tuoba clan was not strong, and it was divided from the clan, which was Yeli Yue Shi, Yeli Long'er, Yeli Julu, Erhuang, Yehai, and Yeli six major mansions, and Yeli occupied the third. Geographically, the Dongsan part of the Gyeongju area and the Pyeongxia part of the Eunha area. The amount of Toba's force is still very small.
Until the Huangchao uprising, Tuoba Sigong, the son of Li Jianjian, a partial general of Xiazhou, assisted Tang Xizong to fight against Zhu Wen, although the battle was defeated, but Zhu Wen then surrendered to Tang, and Tuoba Sigong and Li Ke assisted the officers and soldiers to expel Huangchao from Chang'an. So as to obtain the righteousness of the two states of Xia Sui. Later, Li Sigong took advantage of Zhu Mei's rebellion and sent his younger brother to take Yanyun, and his strength was further strengthened. Then there were ups and downs, and the northwest became three major parts, Xia Sui Yinyou's Tuoba clan, Fulin's Zhe clan, and Qingling's West Road party item. The six mansions have become the five noble surnames, fine seal, Fei Ting, Zheshi, Yeli, Tuoba, and Tuoba are the strongest. and other quirky as many as a thousand surnames, such as cows, customers, pheasants, and so on.
But at this time, they were still mainly dependent on the Central Plains, and even used tribute horses to get the rewards of the Central Plains to live. The Han Chinese still had influence in the region. For example, when the Later Liang Dynasty, Tuoba Si died, and his grandson Tuoba Yi Changli was attacked and killed by the Han general Gao Zongyi. However, then the party members set up the uncle of Tuoba Yichang, Li Sigong's son Li Renfu and defeated Gao Zongyi again.
Hearing about the civil strife in Xiazhou, Li Maozhen nearby asked Li Cunqiao to join forces with 50,000 troops to attack Li Renfu, Li Renfu asked Houliang for help, and Houliang sent Li Yu to rescue, coupled with Li Renfu's tenacity, the two people retreated. It was preserved by the Tuoba clan.
The Later Tang Dynasty replaced the Later Liang and sent troops to Xiazhou, but at this time, the city of Xiazhou was strong, the Later Tang Dynasty had difficulty in transportation, and when the Tuoba clan took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, they were recuperated for decades, so Li Renfu's son Li Yichao's brother defeated the Later Tang army. But he was still afraid of the Central Plains Dynasty, and then called the ministers to pay tribute. However, this battle further erected the prestige of the Tuoba clan.
Then to the Later Jin Dynasty, Li Yichao died of illness, and Xiazhou was in turmoil, but at this time, the Later Jin Dynasty was forced by the Khitan army to go south, and there was no time to look west. even sent Li Yimin and others, who defected to the Later Jin Dynasty, back to Xiazhou for beheading. Another great opportunity was lost. When he arrived in the Later Han Dynasty, Li Shouzhen and other three towns rebelled, and even asked Li Yiyin to send troops to help. I don't want to deal with Xia Zhou. Moreover, although Li Yiyin sent troops, it was clear that he was helping the Later Han Dynasty, and actually cheered for Li Shoulu.
That is, the good luck against the sky, coupled with the careful management of successive generations of Ming masters, the Tuoba Li family has grown in strength step by step in this crack.
Then in the latter week, Chai Rong also had no time to look to the west, but Chai Rong made a wise move. Support the folded family! If the Wu Zhi family is in the northwest, compared with the later history of the Song Dynasty, how bad will it be?
to the Song Dynasty. The Tuoba Li family has always been very careful.
The Song Dynasty was unifying the Central Plains, so they acquiesced to their existence, but Zhao Kuangyin did not have the foresight of Chai Rong and did not do anything to weaken this power. Even if Song Jiu deliberately admonished.
The Li family was also afraid. Li Yiyin died, his son Li Guangrong succeeded to the throne, Kaibao nine years, Dang Jin and Pan Mei sent troops to Hedong, Li Guangrong had sent troops to help, Kebei Han Wu Fort. After Li Guangrong's death, Li Jiyun succeeded to the throne, and Zhao Guangyi sent troops to the Northern Han Dynasty. Li Jiyun lined up along the Yellow River and crossed the river to make a statement. After Li Jiyun's death. His younger brother Li Jisheng succeeded to the throne, due to his lack of prestige, and he appointed his younger brother Li Jili as the queen, causing the resentment of his father Kundi, Li Jisheng from his father Li Kewen expressed his advice, Li Jisheng is incapable, should not be the queen of the difficult festival, please send an envoy to let Li Jisheng enter the court.
Zhao Kuangyi saw a great opportunity to split the party and weaken the Li family, so he agreed to Li Kewen's admonition, and used Li Kewen's right to know Xiazhou, and Yin Xian, the deputy envoy of the workshop, knew the state affairs. Qiang and Han share this land!
Li Kewen was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, so he had to give up the four prefectures and eight counties (Yinxia Suiyou) under his jurisdiction and bring his family to Beijing.
This is where the inconvenience of the trine comes in.
The stall in the northwest should be under the jurisdiction of the East Mansion or the jurisdiction of the West Mansion, I am afraid that even Zhao Kuangyi cannot say.
Zhao Pu is the prime minister again, Cao Bin is a good person, and the real power of Xifu is mostly encroached upon by Dongfu, so after Song Jiu came to Xifu, he didn't know much about the situation in the northwest.
It was sent to the northwest to spy on intelligence under the guise of opening up wool trade routes, winning over divination, and dividing the Khitan, but the time was too hasty, and there was no news from the front so far.
That is, in the matter of the imperial court's operation of Li Jizhuo's return to Beijing, Song Jiu has been kept in the valley.
But because of Song Jiu, the imperial court sent many scouts to the northwest, and the eastern mansion was also covered in the valley.
Something big is wrong.
Song Jiu looked at everyone, who would have thought that on the contrary, some people showed happy smiles on their faces, all countries come to court, and the crowd bows their heads, which is the manifestation of a strong country.
Song Jiu wouldn't think like that, he was pondering.
Could it be that Zhao Kuangyi did something wrong?
The opportunity is fleeting, this is just a rare opportunity, don't say anything about the national outlook, this is the era of the world, including the Han people with developed civilization, and they have not formed a group, and they are party members. The imperial court did not use a single soldier, and even conspiracy and trickery were useless, but conformed to the will of the people and let Li Jizhuo return to the court. Did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?
The imperial court has long stationed troops in Lingzhou, including a small number of troops stationed in Fuzhou, which is still fetters, but it is a symbol, and the imperial court controls this area. However, it is difficult for the four states and eight counties to continue to state China? Did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?
Zhao Kuangyi wanted to restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and wanted to restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and did not require the army to reach Pyongyang, but at least to Yingzhou in the northeast, to Rinan County in the south, to control the Raohe Huangshui area in the east of Riyueling in Qinghai in the southwest, and to achieve true unification in the west to Yumen Pass. In other words, the recovery of the four states is only a small step. Did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?
The capital of the Song Dynasty is Kaifeng, and the threat of the four states is not great, but the military significance is very significant. The army at the beginning of the Song Dynasty was not weak, but without a strong cavalry, the three tiger generals Cui Yanjin, Li Jilong and Li Hanqiong could not achieve a great victory in the city. Without a strong cavalry, would Pan Mei and Yang Ye be able to achieve a great victory in Yanmen. However, it has been repeatedly proved that the Central Plains cannot raise horses, and even raised many horses to death, so is it important that the northwest is heavy? Is it wrong for Zhao Kuangyi to take it back?
The Song Dynasty did not intimidate in the process, even if Li Jisheng lost power and returned to the dynasty, Zhao Kuangyi rewarded the officials with a bounty and silver, even if Li Jisheng sacrificed the four counties of Dingyan, Zhao Kuangyi did not be impatient to directly control the management, but with Li Kewen as the leader, the Han official Yin Xian as the auxiliary, showing enough respect, did Zhao Kuangyi do something wrong?
Song Jiu proposed to divide and block divination and open up the wool trade route, if that is the case, there are only three trade routes, one is Fuzhou to Fengzhou, cross the river to Beihetao, and then reach Helan Mountain, from Helan Mountain to Juyanhai, from Juyanhai and then to Zhubu. However, this road is so close to the Khitan, will the Khitan sit idly by. This path is no longer an option.
In fact, there are only two trade routes to choose from, from Fuzhou to Lingzhou to Helan Mountain, and from Fuzhou to Taiyuan. From Gyeongju to Yeongju, from Gyeongju to Changan. But these two roads must pass through the four counties of Dingyan, Zhao Kuangyi took advantage of this rare opportunity to slightly strengthen his control over the four counties of Dingyan, is it wrong?
must have done something wrong, but Song Jiu didn't know where Lu Dao had done wrong.
He didn't know much about this history, so he couldn't use the golden finger to correct it.
In fact, he is Zhilu Dao, and this history has long been distorted, and many brick families have indiscriminately accused, saying that Zhao Kuangyi disturbed and oppressed the northwest people, which is completely fucked. Therefore, Song Jiu's opinions are not big, and it may distort Song Jiu's thinking.
He thought desperately.
After the scattered dynasty, he came to Xifu and opened the map of the northwest.
I didn't see anything, but when I saw Yokoyama, my brows furrowed.
This is so for the same reason as the enhanced shallow attack tactic he proposed earlier. Starting from Dongyizhou and going all the way to Hedong, the border between Song and Liao is mostly lofty mountains and mountains, where the Liao cavalry has little advantage, and it is easy to build fortifications on the main roads to control, and these forts are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Liao army came to defend, and the Liao army continued to harass, and finally forced the Liao army to exhaust itself and take back Yanyun at the lowest cost.
At the heart of this strategy is the mountain.
Zhao Kuangyi obeyed half of it, set up a little village soldiers, and stationed additional forts on the border, so that it became a royal rather than an attack. Song Jiu was not reluctant, and Pan Mei was also.
It's going to have to take your time.
Moreover, the border was strengthened, which contained the Liao army and prevented it from attacking Liaodong with all its might, which also made Song Jiu temporarily satisfied.
But now the Hengshan Mountain Range will become Song Jiu's headache.
So he asked Cao Bin: "General Cao, let me put forward a hypothesis. ”
"Yi'an, what assumption?"
"If the imperial court allows Li Jisheng to return to the court this time, thus angering the party members and causing all the four counties of Dingnan to rebel, how should the imperial court remedy it?" (To be continued......)
