Following.

Early in the morning, Han Zhen came to the Vertical Arch Hall to deal with government affairs.

Not long after, Shi Wenhui and Uncle Zhang walked into the hall together.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

The two bowed.

Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "Last night, there was good news from Liangzhejiang Road, Zhao Ji has been captured alive and is on his way back to Beijing. ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Uncle Zhang's face was happy, and he said hello together.

"I will notify the Concert House later and cooperate in publicizing this matter."

Han Zhen paused and continued: "This time I summoned the two Aiqing to discuss the adjustment of the strategy. ”

Uncle Zhang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Fujian is still good, and he can send a large army to suppress the border and recover it quickly." However, the two regions are lined up, and rashly sending troops there may arouse the heart of the soil to resist. Zhao Song has ignored the southwest in recent years, let it go, and let the Tufan develop, resulting in the unruly Tufan of all sizes, and if it is not controlled, it will raise troops to resist, and the 100,000 mountains in Lingnan are full of miasma, even if there are 100,000 troops, there is nowhere to show. ”

"Therefore, Weichen suggested that Fujian should be taken first, and Lingnan should be released later, and people should be sent to contact the local officials of the state capitals, set the rules, and then it is not too late to recover."

The Tusi system took shape in the Han and Tang dynasties and was formally established in the Song Dynasty.

But at this time, it's not called Tusi, it's called Tuguan.

What is Toast?

Dali is actually the largest toast in the southwest.

It's just that compared with Dali, the Tusi of Lingnan did not ascend the throne and claim the emperor, but the emperor should have the rights, and those Tusi have everything.

In order to weaken the control of the local officials over the tribe, the response strategy in the early Song Dynasty was to establish a feudal prefecture and cooperate with the liuguan system.

The local officials were appointed as officials in different places, and at the same time, Han officials were sent to supervise them.

The idea was to transfer the local officials out of the local area to serve as officials in other places, and then send Han officials to elbow them, so as to weaken their dominance over their own tribes.

But in practice, it's not like that at all.

Even if the local officials go to other places to become officials, but there are still sons and brothers, and through these people, they still control the tribe remotely, and the effect is almost nothing.

At the beginning, Nong Zhigao rebelled, and he didn't even go back, but only sent someone back to the tribe to roar, and immediately gathered thousands of people.

This shows the high prestige of these chiefs in the tribe.

As for changing the land and returning to the stream, don't think that these four words can easily solve the problem of toast.

The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to use the land to return to the stream?

That's because it took the Ming Dynasty two or three hundred years to lay all the foundations for changing the land and returning to the stream, and after the Qing Dynasty took over, it didn't need to take too much effort to implement it smoothly.

And now who will help him pave the way?

As far as Zhao Song's situation in the southwest for more than a hundred years is concerned, it would be good not to cause trouble to him.

Shi Wenhui proposed: "To treat the Lingnan Tufan, you can induce them, win over a group and suppress a group, and reward money and food if you return to obedience, and if you don't return to obedience, the army will crusade." When the time is ripe, the Grace Decree can be carried out to divide the power and power of the Tufan chieftains, and slowly replace them with Han officials. ”

"Yes."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "The military department has drafted an edict and ordered Liu Qi to recruit Liu Yanqing, and then the troops will march into Sichuan in two ways. Yue Fei was ordered to take the two Zhejiang roads and go south to Fujian. Before the end of the year, I want to see Shuzhong and Fujian and other places to be included in my Daqi's map! ”

Uncle Zhang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, ...... over there in Xiangyang."

Hearing this, Han Zhen said coldly: "Let Chang Yukun surrender one last time, if not, let Liu Qi take Zong Ze's head back to Beijing." ”

"Command!"

Uncle Zhang sighed in his heart and bowed in response.

He still admires Zong Ze very much, but this person's temperament is too strong and he doesn't know how to be flexible.

As soon as the two of them walked on the front foot, Lao Jiu came in on the back foot.

Lao Jiu said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the northern war report." ”

Seeing this, Han Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly, took the battle report and read it.

After reading it, I couldn't help but laugh angrily.

Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yujian's soldiers divided into two roads, one south and one north, and marched towards Linhuang Mansion.

At first, the offensive went well, but as soon as the Jin army arrived, they were immediately beaten.

really responded to that sentence, I can't beat Qi Guo, and I can't clean you up?

Yelu Dashi led an army of 60,000 in Rabbit Mountain to encounter an ambush by Yan Yanmu, 60,000 against 30,000, defeated, this battle was beheaded more than 10,000, countless prisoners, Yelu Dashi led 20,000 remnants of the army, retreated to Jingbian City.

Yelu Yu saw the enemy advancing lightly, and was defeated by Wanyan Zongwang himself in Guangyi City, but fortunately, there was an artillery battalion in the army, as well as a Xuanjia army equipped with firearms, which made Wanyan Zonghan jealous, so he did not dare to pursue, and the loss was not large.

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and said: "Yelu Dashi is nothing more than that, how did you get beaten by this fight in the Northern Expedition?" ”

Old Nine blushed and explained, "This ...... Now is different from the past, at the beginning, there were more than 10,000 Khitan elite cavalry under the command of Yelu Dashi, but now they are all rabble, not the same. Moreover, at that time, the Northern Expedition was mainly commanded by Tong Guan indiscriminately, and the enemy advanced lightly. ”

To be honest, this defeat really can't be blamed entirely on Yelu Dashi.

Don't look at the 60,000 people gathered under the command of Yelu Dashi, in fact, except for the more than 10,000 people brought from Kedun City, the rest are all Liao people who have only recently defected.

Encountering the main force of the Jin army, coupled with being ambushed again, a crushing defeat was inevitable.

Originally, he still wanted to rely on Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yujian to seize Linhuang Mansion, and then raised his arms and called out to gather the former ministers of the Liao State to fight against the Jin State.

Now it seems that I think highly of them.

The Liao State has been eroded to this point, and it should be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen instructed: "Spread my will, order Han Shizhong to command 20,000 troops to assist Yelu Yujian in seizing Linhuang Mansion." ”

"Order!"

Lao Jiu answered and left in a hurry.

……

Kamikyo Road.

Quiet Border City.

Yelu Dashi was originally ambitious and planned to recover Linhuang Mansion in one go, but he was slapped on the head by Wanyan Yan's mother and recognized the cruel reality.

Without the help of Qi Guo, let alone recovering the country, it would be difficult to even gain a firm foothold.

Yelu Dashi lost his previous vigor and found Ma Kuo.

After seizing Xijing Road, Ma Kuo did not return to China, but still followed Yelu Dashi and acted as Han Zhen's representative.

"This battle is negligent on the part of this king, and I also ask Brother Ma to repair a letter and ask Your Majesty to send troops to help."

Yelu Dashi knows very well that if he opens this mouth this time, he will have to bow down in front of Han Zhen in the future, even if he succeeds in recovering the country, he will not be able to straighten his waist.

But if he doesn't open this mouth, he can't do it, relying on himself, even if he adds Yelu Yujian, he can't take Linhuang Mansion.

Facts have proved that the Jin army's combat strength is still strong, but the Qi country is superior.

Hearing this, Ma Kuo comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the King of Liao doesn't have to take it to heart." This official has sent someone to send the war report back to Kaifeng, and I believe that in a few days, His Majesty should send troops to help. ”

"There's Brother Rauma."

Yelu Dashi said gratefully.

"King Liao is polite."

Ma Kuo waved his hand and proposed: "Recently, there are more and more people who have attached themselves to the King of Liao, but they are mixed, but they can't exert their combat power, so it is better to reorganize and streamline, select capable warriors, and rush into the army, and the rest are used as people's husbands." ”

"The king knows."

Yelu Dashi nodded solemnly.
