I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 286 Domineering and Domineering

Since China is safe, the barbarians will subdue themselves.It is the old husband who wants to fight against the outside world, he must first settle in the house.

What Zhao Xi mentioned in the memorial of the former prime minister Zhao Pu made sense.This is also the reason why he has been tossing all these years.

For Guochao, the so-called Annei means to unify the ministers and workers on one front, and to greatly improve the strength of the soldiers.

Up to now, it should be regarded as the initial effect.

"Zizheng, let's start to implement the strategy formulated in the early years!"

It was when Xue Xiang was investigating the wool trade, and Zhao Xi met unexpectedly in Taipingyi, and they had a good talk.

At that time, Zhao Xi and Xue Xiang exchanged the far-reaching plan of the wool trade.

"Your Highness, are you sure?"

"How should I put it, the new army has more than [-]. It's just that the outcome of the confrontation between the new army and the cavalry is uncertain."

"Rail transportation can greatly improve the problem of supplies and heavy transportation. In the past two years, the surplus of the imperial court will become more and more abundant."

"There is still uncertainty, and it is the attitude of the court to the outside world. Therefore, in the end, we still have to fight back, and use Daxia's hand to force the court to fight."

"In one year, the orbital network was formed, and the imperial court had ample surplus. If the Great Xia forced them too much, the imperial court should intentionally inspect the combat power of these new troops. After all, enjoying such a high salary must be worthy of the imperial court's support."

Xue Xiang understood and was very excited.

He once presided over the discussions on the Hebei Road, and also participated in the salt affairs in the west. In a sense, he has a deep understanding of the grievances of dealing with the other two countries.

Ever since he knew about the wool trade, and since he communicated with His Highness the Crown Prince, he was willing to preside over the scheduling in the workshop city instead of seeking promotion, just waiting for such a day.

I am not a Jinshi, and I am not yet qualified to participate in major court affairs. As an official in charge of barter, I can participate in and even lead the country's war... Xue Xiang can feel his blood boiling at this moment.

"Ming Zhong, from now on, the focus will be on laying the track in the west, and the needs of the battle will be the top priority. For related strategies, you can communicate with Di Shuai."

"Cao Lin, you and the other four are ordering the soldiers to train the new recruits in rotation. They should carry out more exercises to test the advantages and disadvantages of the new army and the traditional combat methods."

"Uncle Hui, the teaching team must compile easy-to-understand wartime regulations and regulations. Before the war comes, it is necessary to ensure that every new army soldier memorizes them by heart and can strictly implement them."

"Secondly, the teaching team can ask the imperial court to conduct an inspection or research on the training of the new army, with the intention of teaching the new army all-round rules and regulations."

"In addition, this discussion is classified as highly confidential by the guard battalion. Anyone who leaks the content of the discussion will be subject to the guard battalion's secrecy regulations!"

It will be a war started and led by wool.

From the very beginning, Yangfang was used by Zhao Xi as a tool to intervene in Liaoxia's economic life, thereby changing the choices of Liaoxia herdsmen, and to a certain extent, generating dependence on the country.

In the past two years, due to the increase in the variety of woolen products and the increasing demand for wool, Zhao Xi deliberately raised the price of wool raw materials.

At the same time, food from the source is continuously traded in the market... This is a type of transaction that has aroused criticism in the court.

Zhao Xi discussed the leverage of wool and grain with his husbands in detail.

The price of food in Guochao has been kept at a low level. In the end, the ministers and workers kept their mouths shut in the face of their interests, and instead actively invested in the grain and wool transactions with Liaoxia.

Raising sheep is really cost-effective.

In previous years, when the harvest was young, herdsmen usually slaughtered some animals to get through this difficult time.

Not anymore.All you need to do is cut off the wool that neither humans nor sheep need, and buy it for the people of Song Dynasty.

At the same time, you can purchase food in the market...

In June and July, when the harvest was about to fail, merchants went to the grasslands to buy wool, and at the same time sell grain and goods from the Song Dynasty.

In the past two years, herdsmen have almost treated such days as festivals.

Then in another two or three months, merchants will come to the grassland again, walking felt by felt, putting down enough grain for the herdsmen to survive the winter, and taking away the useless wool.

Liaoxia is like this.

These jobs are not done by the merchants of Song Dynasty, but by Liaoxia's own merchants, or merchants with their own backgrounds.

These merchants are all regional, with different backgrounds and heels, which determine their scope of activities and regions.

Just as it is impossible for merchants from Beiliao to go to Xixia to buy wool, in the same country, the boundaries are also very clear.

Zhao Xi has studied these in depth.It should be said that such a status quo is very suitable to break up Liaoxia by wooing and dividing.

To put it bluntly, the Liaoxia system should belong to the co-ownership system, or the feudal system.

For example, in Xixia, the entire imperial court of Great Xia is basically controlled by party aristocrats.Although I have learned a little about the official system of the country, it is only a name, and in essence, it is still a form of co-ownership.

The nobles of each party have their own territories and tribal soldiers.The royal family is nothing but the most powerful family among all nobles and the one with the widest ruling area.

Once there is a war, the tribal leaders and the emperor will jointly agree, and according to the number of people in each tribe and the number of soldiers participating in the war, the command authority during the battle will be determined.

At the same time, it draws lessons from the military merit system of the previous dynasty, and there are different rewards for different military exploits.It's a bit like the Fubing system of the previous dynasty, but slightly different.It's a bit like a separatist regime, but a little different.

The Northern Liao Dynasty is slightly different. The Northern Liao Dynasty is divided into regions, with different management systems in the west, east and south.

The southern part is dominated by Han people, who basically borrowed some methods from Guochao.

The east and west are completely different from the south.

Emperors, descendants, and other Khitan nobles all have their own Oruduo... also called tents, that is, their own tribes or tribes, not necessarily clan relatives, but dependents and dependents, including slaves, of various identities.

Oruduo is equivalent to an independent economic and military unit.

Although Khitan nobles other than the royal family and descendants were not allowed to build city walls, there were also slaves who belonged to private property and engaged in industrial and agricultural production, which was the so-called head servants.

In a system like the Liaoxia, each tribe had great autonomy.There is also the possibility of win-win differentiation.

But one thing, Zhao Xi is very clear, if you want someone to betray the old master and be your younger brother, you must first act like a big brother.

If you don't have the strength to back up your younger brother, let alone no one to turn to, it would be nice to be able to guarantee that your younger brother will not betray you.

Therefore, everything depends on strength.The so-called kingly way is after the domineering.

It is benevolence and righteousness to beat you to the ground, then help you up, and then give you sweet dates.If you laugh, call your father, and give dates with a shy face from the beginning, you will be servile.

I often hear courtiers say that the Han people in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have been looking forward to Master Wang going north... Zhao Xi believed this when the dynasty opened, but now, it has been nearly a hundred years, and it has been passed down for almost three generations.

Although the concept of family and country is not clear at present, it is hard to believe that the people of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun recognize the country from the bottom of their hearts.

Unless Guochao beat Beiliao to the ground with its destructive strength...
