Section 72 Jiankun

Li Xu looked at the Guli in front of him, thinking about the things in the north country. Today, I came to the Yamen of the Prison Envoy Division, in fact, to inspect the operation of this yamen, and to discuss with Li Shen the separation of Bai Yujing's tax collection functions into another new branch department.

Bai Yujing had a population of millions in its heyday, although this great city has now gone downhill, but there are seven or eight hundred thousand, and the supplies for these seven or eight hundred thousand people are not a small number, but also a big business.

Of course, this is a trivial matter, and the real important thing for Li Xu here is to let Li Shen start laying a net, kill all the city fox society rats that are related to Cheng Qili, and then remove the dark lines left by Yu Fuguo and Cheng Qili in Beijing one by one.

In order to avoid leaking the news, Li Xu went directly to the yamen of the prison envoy to discuss the matter with Li Shen.

Through Li Shen's efforts, the prison envoy is now on the right track. Especially the previous group of assassins, Li Shen faintly found out the rudder left by Taiping Dao in Baiyu Jingzhong by laying a net in Beijing, according to Li Shen's intelligence, Yu Fuguo himself and Taiping Dao seem to be inextricably linked.

The matter of Taiping Dao has to be done by the emperor in person, because it is barely a beginner to collect information from the prison envoys, but if they really let them arrest people, those Ti Qi, who are only at the second- or third-rate level on the rivers and lakes, do not have the ability to face the masters of Taiping Dao.

The news that the bones were all mentioning the punishment station at the gate of the prison envoy was soon reported to Li Shen, and after consulting his own opinion, Li Shen ordered someone to invite the bone force who had been a ball in Bai Yujing for half a month.

Li Xu knew in his heart that this Uighur mission was meaningless at all, because the so-called peace negotiation was probably a discussion between the two sides, and there was room for retreat, so he hammered out the specific compromise conditions.

Unfortunately, Luohua was ruthless and deliberately flowing, and Li Xu had no intention of compromising with the Uighurs.

However, they are guests from afar, and they can't just watch them being kicked around as a ball by Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Rites.

As for the official rank of the Beiwei Army's soldiers and horses, it was not made up casually, this was the military number of the elite cavalry beside Yue Fei and Yue Wumu back then, and the appearance of the Shence Army now that the mud could not support the wall made him feel satisfied, and he was calculating to re-establish a new army.

In Li Xu's vision, the number of people in this army does not need to be too large, but all of them should be elite, equipped with horses and heavy armor, and become an elite division like thunder on the battlefield.

In fact, this is a natural choice for himself as a poor force at present, because it is far cheaper to maintain a small number of elites than to train a large number of elite field regiments. When the back-to-back army that he envisioned is almost trained, he can completely let the Shence Army enter history.

Now it's time to be patient and listen to what kind of news has been brought by friends from afar.

"Master Li, excuse me. "Guli found a chair, set it up, and sat down. "It's a bit abrupt to come to the door without any gifts. ”

"Gu-sama's Chinese is really fluent. Li Shen exclaimed, and although the Uighur envoy's deputy's Chinese sounded a little stiff, he was also decent at a glance, and even more fluent than many Hu merchants in Bai Yujing.

"When the first emperor was in power, I also went to Beijing to take the test, and I passed the Ming scripture test. Gu Lidu raised his arms and raised his fists with both hands, expressing his respect for the God Emperor who died an unknown death.

Li Xu nodded when he heard this, in fact, since the imperial examination was created in the previous dynasty, this thing has attracted many talents from all over the world to participate in the examination. I remember hearing Wen Yuanheng say that he had a friend from Japan who studied in the Yu Dynasty for a long time, and then passed the Ming Jing test first, and then was appointed as a secretary Lang, and it didn't take long for him to be a jinshi, and he was promoted all the way, and finally became the protector of Annan.

If you think about it carefully, this backbone can be regarded as the "Zhiyu faction" among the Uighurs.

"Sir, I'll mention the prison envoy Si Yamen, I don't know where the so-called came from?" asked Li Shen.

"Alas, the reason why I bothered my lord was that after we entered Beijing, we were left aside, and neither His Majesty nor the Rank Governor had a chance to see us. "Bone strength is indeed a bit eloquent.

"The Uighurs and Dayu were originally relatives of their nephews and uncles, and the Khan of our kingdom has always been canonized by the Son of Dayu. After the Tubo occupied the right side of Hexi, the Anxi and Beiting prefectures of Dayu were all maintained with the help of my Uighurs. ”

"Who would have thought that the family was unfortunate, the prime minister Yao Luo was rebellious and ungrateful, and brazenly rebelled to make a rebellion, and Guangsheng Khan had no choice but to go south......"

Halfway through the bone strength, he was interrupted by Li Xu.

"This deputy envoy, as far as I know, although Duli and Yaoshiroluo have raised troops, they have already retreated to the Western Regions to operate, why did the Uighurs abandon the land in the north of the desert and tend to the south of the Yin Mountains?"

The so-called steppe empire is actually not tightly organized, and once the tribe led by it is weakened in addition to the problem, a group of hungry wolves will naturally rise up in its place. I guess it was a strong anti-bone boy from the Uighur tribes who desperately tore at the Uighur headquarters, forcing them to flee to the Western Regions and the south to knock on the pass.

"Don't hide it from General Li, there is a small tribe named Jiankun, which took the opportunity to become bigger, and in order to avoid them, we had to go south. Guli knew that the news on the grassland would not be long before it reached the Central Plains, and even if he had the intention to deceive, he couldn't hide it, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.

"Therefore, you have a strong enemy in the north, and you will come to the south to invade me. Li Xu was very shocked by this operation method of the Uighurs, and he had the impression that the Jin people had played such an operation, and they were beaten out by the Mongols in the north, and they had to come to the Southern Song Dynasty with their legs between their legs, and the final result was the complete destruction of the country.

"We are attached. Guli said: "My Khan originally had an official position in his body, and now he is attached to the whole clan, and I hope that the Son of Heaven will take it in and allocate land and grain." ”

The emperor and Li Shen glanced at each other, this idea was very strange.

"I don't think the imperial court will agree to such a proposal. Li Shen said: "You went south this time, harassed the localities, attacked Hedong and other places, and the troops approached the three surrendered cities. This is not attached at all, it is a contribution. In fact, the DPRK and China have already set a strategy. ”

"We are really sincerely attached, Jiankun soldiers are strong and strong, and the current Khan Sha Wulie is even more wolf-like, we and Da Yu are originally relatives of our nephews, and we really want to belong to Da Yu. "Guli is also a qualified diplomat, and his ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open is also proficient.

"I heard that the emperor just killed Cheng Qili, the traitor. Guli looked at Li Xudao, he estimated that this Li Congri and Li Congxian were most likely related: "General Li Congxian was also appointed to lead the Shence Army." Now Yu Fuguo, an anti-party, is still leading the army and threatening the imperial court. We, the Uighurs, are willing to surrender to Dayu, annihilate the Yufu Kingdom, and guard the north for the emperor to prevent Jiankun from going south. ”

Hearing this, Li Shen restrained the idea of going to see the emperor, because once he did this, he would make Guli realize that this "Li Congri" was the person with the highest status in the house. However, it would also be great if he could borrow the struggle between the Falcon and the Yufu Kingdom and follow the wisdom of Bian Zhuang's thorn tiger.

"I will truthfully inform Your Majesty and all the deacons of these Chen, and Mr. Gu can go back first. ”

Li Shen knew that this was enough, and if he continued to talk about it, he would go beyond his duties and affect his image in the emperor's heart, and the emperor actually had a strategy for the Uighurs for a long time, and no matter how much he grinded, this backbone would not affect the current strategy of the imperial court.

"I have a few good furs brought from Mobei, mink and otter skins, which Master Li wears so thinly......"

"No need. Li Shen simply refused: "Captain Hao, send off!"
