Wang Miao also agrees with Jiang Feng's view.

Jiang Feng started too short a time, and basically relied on the army to establish his own gateway, and in order to make such a large army return, it is necessary to give this army enough benefits and thoughts, so that they can be with Jiang Feng, so what about the original owners of interests, the gentry?

It is impossible for everyone to be classified into the military aristocracy, just the current situation of Daliang can make Jiang Feng understand that no matter how strong the army is, when your economic base begins to corrupt and degenerate, the army will inevitably decay, so Jiang Feng can understand Zhao Kuangyin's move to release military power in later generations, and if he can't solve the problem of the powerful faction of the army and their own interests, then it will either evolve into the division of feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, or it will be corrupted and collapsed together like Daliang.

Zhao Kuangyin and his Northern Song Dynasty should have done a relatively good job, although the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated in the face of the Khitan and Jurchens, but there are many reasons, Jiang Feng as a top student of the Department of History, one of the reasons for his own recognition is that when the southern farming peoples are not enough to suppress the mobility advantage brought by the large-scale use of nomadic cavalry in terms of scientific and technological superiority into military strength, you lose the geographical defense advantage of the northern Hebei Plain and the Mongolian Plateau, then this war loses the initiative, and failure is a high probability event。

The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties formed an overwhelming advantage over the nomads was also due to many factors, but it is undeniable that the overall strength was super strong, the geographical advantage of the north was not lost, and the enterprising spirit in the early period of the dynasty was still strong.

In Jiang Feng's view, in order to maintain the dominant position of the Central Plains Dynasty over the nomadic Hu people in the north, at present, it is not yet completely advantageous in overall strength, and even in terms of military strength, it is necessary to seize the advantage of land advantage, and it is urgent to control the North China Plain, knowing that the general trend of history is difficult to be changed by a small butterfly like himself, and the Khitan people are expanding faster than imagined, so he must control the Heshuo area before the Khitans go south, and use Heshuo as a buffer to ensure the safe development of his hinterland。

It is ridiculous to pin hope on a river moat, especially since the Shatuo people have entered the Central Plains, even if Jiang Feng does not think that the Shatuo people have the ability to change their lives against the sky, but after all, this is also the first step for the Hu people to set foot in the Central Plains, with the practice of this first step, maybe the second step of the Khitan people or the party people will come out.

Therefore, Jiang Feng hoped to move the front forward and advance to Heshuo, so that Heshuo would become the main battlefield of his confrontation with the Khitans, and Pinglu, Ziqing, and Tianping would be used as the advance bases, and Xuzhou and Huaiyou would be built into his own core support areas, so as to ensure the stability of his regime with this progressive strategy, so as not to lose his vitality after losing the first battle.

In order to "transform" these local gentry, it was necessary to find more common interests.

Historically, the Northern Song Dynasty found some ways, such as the developed industry and commerce, which attracted a large number of military generals and gentry forces in the Northern Song Dynasty to industry and commerce, but the main thing was commerce.

Now Jiang Feng thinks that he may be able to do more and better in this regard, Xuzhou's iron smelting, Haizhou's salt industry, Shouzhou's ceramics industry, Huzhou and Shouzhou's tea-making industry have begun to emerge, and these industries can be further subdivided and developed in the next step.

With the substantial growth of steel production, the industrial chain will continue to expand, and many related industries will be derived.

At this point, Jiang Feng is still very confident, which can not only divert the attention of these gentry in the land, but also digest the increasing population and labor force to a certain extent.

On this point, Jiang Feng and Chen Wei and Wang Miao, who have the most consistent views, have discussed many times, only by cultivating a large number of beneficiary classes, can they consolidate their rule, and at the same time attract new industries and new commodities to meet the needs of different strata of people, in a word, to paraphrase Jiang Fenglai's popular words before this era, that is, innovation, or the creation of new demand, of course, this will be a long-term process.

In order to ensure that this goal can be achieved, then it is necessary to ensure the stability of his own power first, so Jiang Feng will also accept Wang Miao's proposal to establish a solid forward position in Heshuo, and the war with the Khitans should be limited to Heshuo as much as possible, not to Pinglu, let alone to Wuning and Huaiyou.

In order to achieve this, it is still difficult to support the financial resources with the current situation of the Xuzhou Governor's Office, so there is another strategy to seize Xuanzhou or Chuzhou or even Yangzhou, to fight in the south to support the war in the north, and to support the war in the north with the income of the south.

Needless to say, the wealth of the two states of Chuyang is needless to say, even in Xuanzhou, which is inconspicuous in the south of the Yangtze River, has huge copper ore resources and copper smelting and money industry, as well as a huge paper industry, plus the vast territory, it is the largest state in the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and agriculture is also quite developed, and it is no wonder that people are worried about how much income one state can reach three or four states in Heshuo.

"Okay, Xiaolang, it's good that you know the strategy of the north and south, it is still inconclusive, but the war between the north and the Central Plains is always unavoidable, we need to seriously summarize the experience of each war, the heavy cavalry is the first time to go into battle, and we need a detailed situation, which will help us to use troops in the north and the Central Plains in the future. Wang Miao retracted his emotion, "You and Da Lang dock and see what other requirements the county king has for the battle of Song City." ”

The staff officer system has been increasingly established in the Xuzhou army, and at the army level, a staff officer system must be established, with one or two staff officers for each army and a staff office for the town, with as many as 15 staff officers, who will also be divided into several groups to provide staff officers for the training, command, intelligence collection and analysis, tactical planning, and so on of the troops in each town.

But from the current point of view, this system can only be said to be formally possessed, and the commanders of all towns and armies have not really accepted this system, and Wang Miao also hopes to use this to summarize and promote.

Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.

"Mother, the Tuyuhun people have sent their Princess Mulan to the south. Yelude looked tired and knelt aside, he had just turned thirty-four and had taken over the throne of the Great Khitan Khan for almost ten years, although he had the strong support of his mother, but this journey was not quiet.

"Hmph, damn Tuyuhun slave, you should have taken her down the last time that slave came. The woman sitting cross-legged at the top was still dressed as a Uighur, and even in the court of the Khitan Khan, she never shied away from her Uighur origins.

"Mother, that's not in line with etiquette, didn't the Han people say that the two countries would not fight each other? Not to mention that it was still a woman. Yelu Deguang shook his head, "The Shatuo people are moving very violently, no wonder the Tuyuhun people can't sit still." ”

"Will the great beam collapse this time?" The woman was naturally Yelu Deguang's mother, Shu Luping, and the Shulu family from the Uighurs had always been the most loyal ally of the Khitan Yelu tribe, and Shu Luping married his cousin Yelu Abaoji.

Shu Luping has always disliked her eldest son Yelu Bei, and prefers her youngest son Yelu Li Hu, but she also knows that although her youngest son Yelu Li Hu has excellent martial arts talent and is known as the first day talent in the Great Khitan, he has not been able to show enough talent in governing politics and being a general, and he is only in his early twenties, so it is impossible for him to take over the Khan throne before his two brothers, so Shu Luping finally supported his second son Yelu Deguang to take over as the Great Khan, and her only hope is that the second son can pass on the throne in the future.

"It's not easy to say, the fine work we sent to the Central Plains all said that the situation in Daliang was very bad, and the interior was already in chaos, and the river from Bianliang to Xuzhou was full of boats full of goods and women, all of whom were busy fleeing to Xuzhou. Yelu Deguang took a breath, "In this case, no matter how many troops there are in Daliang, it is impossible to defeat the Shatuo people, but Zhu Xie Cunhou has taken advantage of the time, place and people." ”

"Everyone has gone to Xuzhou, even if the Shatuo people capture Bianjing, what can they get?"

Shu Luping was not too concerned about the situation in the Han land in the south, she was more concerned about the threat to her son's throne from the other eight Khitan tribes, and even the dormant dissatisfaction with her eldest son.

"Mother, I'm afraid that this time the Shatuo people may not return to Hedong, Luoyang is occupied by them, and now if they take Bianjing again, they will get most of the Central Plains, and these Shatuo people may be even more uncontrollable. Yelu Deguang vented a little depressedly: "Haven't those Han people always looked down on the Shatuo people?

"Are you going to let the Tuyuhun people attack the rear of the Shatuo people?" Shu Luping's attention finally turned to his son's question.

Although she doesn't know much about the situation in the southern Han land, she also knows that Chang'an, Bianjing and Luoyang are the three largest prosperous cities in the Central Plains, and they are also the pride of the Han people.

"Bai Chengfu won't listen to us, his mind is all on guarding against us, and he sent an envoy to the south to win over the newly rising Han forces in the south. ”

Yelu Deguang also knew very well that the opponent in the west, when he fought against the Murwei people, he wanted to pull the hind legs, but the Murwei people were defeated too quickly, so that the small actions of the Tuyuhun people failed to succeed, although now the threat of the Shatuo people has increased, but the Tuyuhun people are more likely to ask for self-protection first, how can they provoke the Shatuo people?
