Chapter 1223: Xihai Province
Mongol Empire, Hala and Lin.
Genghis Khan has been paying close attention to the Battle of Western Xia, and when the Great Xia Army was invited to officially intervene in the Battle of Western Xia, Genghis Khan knew that the empire had no chance of winning this battle.
Unless there is an increase in troops to Western Xia.
In that case, it is likely that a local war will turn into an uncontrollable all-out war. The empire can increase its troops, and Great Xia can naturally increase its troops, and it will be faster and larger.
"Ordered to drag mines, immediately lead the troops to evacuate Western Xia, and must not fall in love with war, otherwise the military law will deal with it."
"Yes!"
Genghis Khan was more decisive than Tuolei, and he knew how to make trade-offs, although he did not compete for complete success in this battle, he plundered a large number of materials and solved the urgent needs of the empire.
As for how to solve the remaining food shortage, we can only think in the long run.
If you continue to fight, not only will the ducks in your hands fly away, but you may even have to lose money, Genghis Khan has been fighting all his life, and he will never make a loss-making deal.
…………
For Genghis Khan's military orders, Tuo Lei did not dare to disobey.
On December 19, Tuo Lei joined the remnants of Mu Huali, a total of 250,000 troops, escorted countless massive supplies, and quickly evacuated Western Xia.
For this batch of supplies, the Mongol Empire lost 150,000 elite cavalry, so it is not difficult to understand that Tuo Lei was unwilling to be aggrieved when he left Xingqing Mansion.
For the peach picking Daxia, Tuo Lei has hated it to the core.
Seeing the withdrawal of the Mongolian army, Yeli Wangrong, who was more aggrieved than the tow mine, was unwilling, and regardless of Li Yuanhao's dissuasion, he personally led an army of 50,000 to pursue, in an attempt to delay the withdrawal of the Mongolian iron cavalry.
Tuolei, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, combined with Mu Huali, brazenly led his troops to turn around to meet the enemy, and defeated Yeli Wangrong again. Even Yeli Wangrong himself was killed by a single arrow from Tuolei.
This battle also became the end of the Western Xia War.
Three days later, Li Mu led his troops to Xingqing Mansion and took over the defense of the city from the hands of the Western Xia army, marking the complete history of the Western Xia Kingdom.
From this day on, the garrison of the Great Xia Yingyang Army will be transferred from Shu Province to the territory of Western Xia, becoming an elite division of the dynasty to resist the Mongol Empire.
With the annexation of the Shu Han Dynasty, there are no hidden dangers in Shu Province, and it is enough to have the Flying Bear Army in charge.
After receiving the military order from the theater headquarters to the Privy Council, the rest of the Western Xia Army, except for the Eagle Yang Army recruiting some to supplement the battle losses and forming the provincial garrison division, the remaining more than 200,000 people were all abolished.
With the current strength of Great Xia, it is really not suitable to expand the army. Therefore, even if the more than 200,000 Western Xia troops who survived the war were first-class elites, Ouyang Shuo could only endure the pain of parting his love.
Moreover, after this battle, the Western Xia people withered, especially the young and middle-aged suffered heavy losses, and arranging for this batch of sergeants to retire also helped to restore the production of the Western Xia as soon as possible.
Ouyang Shuo had already given an order to the Civil Affairs Bureau to transfer a group of Han people from Chengdu County, Shu Province, to settle in Western Xia to supplement the population of Western Xia.
As for the arrangement of Li Yuanhao and Western Xia, he still has to wait for the imperial decree.
…………
As soon as the news of Western Xia's annexation to Great Xia came out, the envious and jealous people did not know how many.
On the surface, Daxia occupied the Western Xia Kingdom of Nuoda almost effortlessly this time, taking advantage of a huge advantage. In fact, not everyone can take advantage of such a bargain.
It's like the Qin State adjacent to Western Xia.
Even if Li Yuanhao was willing to lead the Western Xia and surrender to the Qin State, with the national strength of the Qin State, he was unable to protect Li Yuanhao from the hands of the Mongol Empire.
It is even more unlikely that the Mongol army will take the initiative to withdraw before the battle is as it is now.
The root cause is that this time Great Xia was able to successfully receive Western Xia, or with the support of strong national strength and prestige that is undoubtedly comparable in the Huaxia region, and it cannot be replaced by any other country.
Moreover, the reception of Western Xia, in the short term, may not be all good things, which means that there are more than 10 million people waiting to be fed, waiting for the imperial court to allocate relief food.
…………
December 25, Shanhai City.
After several days of discussion, the imperial court's plan for the disposal of the Western Xia Kingdom was finally settled.
First of all, the edict of Li Yuanhao, in view of the fact that the Western Xia Kingdom was under special circumstances, it chose to attach to Great Xia, and the Western Xia heritage was not deep, according to the opinion of the cabinet, only Li Yuanhao was awarded the title of first-class marquis.
Moreover, Li Yuanhao was not allowed to stay in Xingqing Mansion, and he needed to move his family to Shanhai City to live.
This arrangement is also in view of the fact that Western Xia belongs to the gathering place of the Qiang people, and Li Yuanhao has an incomparable influence in the Qiang people.
This is what Ouyang Shuo does not want to see no matter what.
Of course, the racial equality policy that Bactria has always pursued is also applicable to the Qiang people.
The second is the administrative division of the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom.
When Li Yuanhao founded the country, he took Xia as the country name and called Daxia. Because it was in the West, the Song people called it Western Xia.
In this way, the country name and place name of Western Xia inevitably violated the taboo of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it must not be directly demarcated as a Western Xia province, and it is necessary to think of another provincial name.
Ouyang Shuo was originally lazy and wanted to directly use the territory of the Qing Dynasty as a reference and name it Qinghai Province. However, Jiang Shang, the first assistant of the cabinet, suggested that it be changed to Xihai Province.
There's a reason for that.
The name of Qinghai Province originates from Qinghai Lake in the territory. The West Sea is the ancient name of Qinghai Lake, renamed Xihai Province, which is not only more ancient, but also far away from the East China Sea Province, which can be passed down as a good story.
Ouyang Shuo is naturally as good as a stream.
This was followed by the delineation of the candidate for the governor of Xihai Province.
Ouyang Shuo still insisted on boldly using the employment orientation of the aborigines this time, and promoted Cui Shouhei, the former governor of Wuzhou County, Nanxing Province, to be the governor of the West Sea.
As the pride of the Cui family, Cui Shousi joined the territory during the county seat, and successively served as the commander of Yishui County, the prefect of Tianfeng, the administrative director of Zhen'an County, and the county guard of Wuzhou.
This time, he was promoted again and finally became a feudal official.
In just a few years, Cui Shousi has grown from a county magistrate to a provincial governor of Zhengsanpin, and he and his sister Cui Yingyu go hand in hand to form Cui's double wall.
This is because there are more opportunities for promotion as a local official than in the court.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why some officials who aspire to the center of Daxia always like to go to the local yamen to experience it, so as to increase their qualifications and obtain the capital for promotion.
The one who succeeded Cui Shousi Wuzhou County Guard was a more special person.
This person's name is Ouyang Huan, before he was personally circled by Ouyang Shuo as the county guard of Wuzhou, he was just a little-known official in the court, and this promotion officially appeared in the sight of the government and the opposition.
It's not that Ouyang Huan is talented, but because of his special identity.
Ouyang Huan is Ouyang Shuo's distant third uncle, who is considered to be half of the emperor's relatives, and is also the outstanding person in the Ouyang clan.
In this regard, the cabinet, down to the government and the opposition, they all tacitly did not discuss it.
The family affairs of the Son of Heaven are not allowed to be criticized by others.
…………
The royal palace, the imperial study.
What Ouyang Shuo is seeing is Ouyang Huan, the focus of recent times.
"Third uncle, this time, you will be put under the microscope, and too many people will watch your every move. The nephew did this to roast the third uncle on the fire. Ouyang Shuo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Ouyang Huan is a middle-aged man, with a resolute face, like a knife, the kind of person who is very powerful at a glance, but he rarely cherishes words like gold and never speaks falsely.
This is also what Ouyang Shuo especially appreciates.
As a relative of the emperor, the most taboo thing is to run the train with his mouth full. As the saying goes, "if you say too much, you will lose", once you say the wrong thing, you will be embarrassed and not say it, and it will damage the royal face, making it difficult for Ouyang Shuo to do.
The wheel of history has pushed the Ouyang family to its current status, and we must always introspect.
When Ouyang Huan heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry!" ”
"I know that the third uncle is real gold and is not afraid of fire, so if he goes to Wuzhou, he will definitely make a big move." Ouyang Shuo is still very confident in his level of looking at people.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled.
…………
In the blink of an eye, it was December 30th.
As is customary, Gaia will release a new round of system updates on this day. I just don't know what kind of surprise or fright Gaia will bring this time.
