In Nanyang City, Zhao Qi spread out the map and looked at it carefully, and the form was much smoother than he expected. Conquered Nanyang City, and he didn't have much loss, which made him ambitious. The land of Nanyang is located in the north of Hunan and Hubei, connecting Henan and Anhui, and the strategic form is in an excellent state for him at this time.

"Fox King, tell me what to do next." Zhao Qi motioned to Bai Luoluo to talk about her thoughts, and if he listened, he would be partial to believe and dark, although he had a strategy, he would not be paranoid.

"Fan Zuo's envoy has already successfully taken the entire Shandong Peninsula, which can be said to have hit the Jin State hard, and if the rebel army wants to develop, it must continue to expand its living space. If we go west, that is, Shaanxi and other places, we will be involved in a war with Wuxian and others all of a sudden, and we will have to face the Mongols who are going south, which is not a good thing. The rest is to go north to Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places, these are the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the former Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu started with these and dominated the world. As long as Kaifeng is successfully taken and the strategic place is advanced along the Yellow River, even if the Mongols destroy the Jin State at that time, it will still be difficult to move an inch. Bai Luoluo studied these for many days, and in her opinion, the Jin Kingdom was no longer a threat, and the rest was nothing more than to face the Mongols.

Zhao Qi nodded, what Bai Luoluo said was actually the nearly twenty-year battle between Jin and Mongolia in the later period, the Jin people moved south to Kaifeng, but instead blocked the Mongol offensive, closed the battle line, gathered their strength, and started trade with the Jin State. counterattacked the Mongols several times, but even Temujin's first general, Mu Huali, was dragged to death by them.

The Mongols tried to cross the river several times to destroy Jin, but they did not really succeed. Later, the Mongols fought among themselves, and after Wokotai took the throne, they were afraid of dragging mines and mastering heavy troops. He was sent to make a detour from Hanzhong and split into a three-way army to attack the Jin State. The soldiers made a dangerous move, and finally destroyed the Jin State.

This bit of history would have felt a little funny for Zhao Qi. But when he was really in it, Zhao Qi realized the mystery. The Mongols were far from being that powerful, and it was only when the Mongols completely annexed the Jin territory that the foundations of the empire were truly laid. The 50 million people in the north made up for the greatest shortcomings of the Mongols.

The fact that the Mongols fought for years and had little supplies, and in fact wanted to feed the tribes, they relied on large armies to plunder, which can be seen in the weak nature of the Mongols. But the Mongols were warlike. The invincibility covered the place, which led to the later prosperity.

Knocking on the edge of the chair, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Qi's mouth, and he immediately ordered: "Since this is the case, then the troops will be divided into two routes, one will be led by General Lin to attack Caizhou, Luoyang and other places, and the other will be led by me personally and march eastward." "Wan Yan Hao and Su Mao were destroyed. There are almost no big enemies in the north, but the east road is about to face the elite of the Jin people, and Zhao Qi is not worried about fighting with them.

"If we continue to fight like this, the land of one city can still be defended. The rest is hard. Bai Luoluo said this vaguely, the rebel army lacked talents, that is, people who managed political affairs and logistics. It's not something that just one person can do well. For example, the management of Nanyang City is handled by Bai Luoluo himself. But she can't be separated in many places after all.

"Fox King, you don't understand Confucianism!" Zhao Qi didn't have so many worries. Since ancient times, the so-called lack of talent is all lies and nonsense, nothing more than the situation is undecided, and no one wants to work for you.

"Rural governance, as long as the land is divided, the rest is to elect the village head, the village head is elected by them, every three years, and they can report it to the top at any time and abandon it. The establishment of mutual aid societies brought them together, and the villages were isolated, and it was not difficult to manage, and the rest was the city. Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and pointed that there were not many cities marked by him on the map, this was the territory he wanted to occupy.

"Confucianism is nothing more than that people have needs, and there is Confucianism. Since ancient times, kings loved Confucian scholars the most, do you know why? Because Confucianism was changeable, they could adjust their teachings, beliefs, etc., according to the needs of the emperor at any time, and grasped the foundation of loyalty to the emperor, which gave Confucianism the foundation for survival. They will not choose to join the rebel army now, it is nothing more than the possibility that the rebel army may be destroyed at any time, but when Kaifeng and other places fall one after another, and the rebel army is connected and occupies the fertile land between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, do they have any other choice? I'm afraid that all you need to worry about at that time is the question of who to use and who not to use. Maybe you won't believe it, but now there are many scholars in the north who have been secretly studying the strategy of the righteous army for a long time, which is nothing more than laying the groundwork for their future careers. If there is something good at the top, there will be something at the bottom, you just believe in their discipline too much. Since ancient times, Confucian scholars have no discipline, and they can have anything to do with the ancient sages, and when the time comes, maybe they will say that the Confucian sages believe in the theory of dividing the land. "Zhao Qi has nothing to look down on Confucianism, everyone has to live, reality is not a dream after all, in his time, millions of people go to the civil service exam every year, which is no different from Confucian fame, laughing at the ignorance of the ancients, but it is not necessary.

"But in the end, someone needs to manage it for the time being." Bai Luoluo somewhat understood Zhao Qi's thoughts.

"In times of war, it is necessary to centralize management, but there are not so many things in peacetime, as long as the people in the villages and villages cultivate with their hearts, they will have grain, and with food, they can raise soldiers and support the people, and everything else is a trivial matter." Zhao Qi sneered, as long as everyone has food, where do so many complicated things come from? The people of this era are very easy to feed, and the rest of them are nothing more than people who want to become a privileged class, people with ulterior motives, and they are unwilling to take refuge in him, so they kill them directly.

"Well, I'll go north with the army, maybe you're right." Bai Luoluo clarified his thoughts, this problem is indeed not so complicated, the peasants are willing to cultivate the land when they get the seeds of the field, pay taxes according to the field, and have food to eat, and the rest is really not difficult.

"As long as they are unwilling to join the rebels and stir things up, kill them all, the rebels will never be stingy and kill, and they will not compromise with these people. If you want to join the rebels, you must completely put down your body and study the strategy of the rebels, otherwise, I would rather not be alone. Zhao Qi knew that there would be a lot of trouble at that time, and said decisively, he knew too well the minds of those literati at this point.

"Together, all of them will be killed! The rebels are patrolling at any time, and I don't believe they can make any waves! Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, since ancient times, the peasant uprising, the biggest difficulty is that he can't grasp here, in the face of the Confucian landlords and squires and other brainwashing, but instead chose to compromise, in fact, as long as there are soldiers in hand, and there is land to obtain the support of the peasants, they can be suppressed with their backhand, why talk nonsense with them?

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents, I see that General Lin has been studying the affairs of the righteous army very carefully recently, as long as he mentions one or two things when the time comes, I believe he can handle it." Bai Luoluo smiled, and the worries in her heart were gone, she did overestimate those landlords and squires. The fundamental foothold of those people is nothing more than relying on the land and people under their hands, but the division of the land completely breaks this. Without that, these people are paper tigers. As for the stubborn who still follow them, send them to die with them.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and settled the matter, laying the groundwork for the righteous army to dominate the world in the future.

PS: It's raining heavily, and it's drenched in soup. In fact, whether it is a Confucian scholar or a landlord, it is nothing, and if it is broken, there will be no room for foothold. (To be continued.) )
