I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 691

There is no need to verify whether this is a thing that is still in use after a thousand years, or a thing that is commonly used in all the snow-covered north.

Besides, just around Bianliang, so where can we verify the sled?

When the first batch of sleds from the workshop city were transported to Qingtang, Wang Shao had already prepared all the people and things needed in the imperial edict.He was from the south, and so was Zhang Dun. They couldn't tell much, but the Tubo people, those Tubo people who were requisitioned, could see it clearly at a glance.

So, the Tubo people drove the mastiffs, pulled the sleds, took the soldiers, messengers and supplies, and went westward screaming.

"The flagpole they carry should be enough for them to mark along the way, so that next time they will be able to pass through regardless of whether they need Tubo people or not."

"Superior Commander, when we come back this time, let's deal with all those Tubo people, except those who raise mastiff dogs! The imperial court's plan is important!"

Hearing what Zhang Dun said, Wang Shao's mouth twitched.This chapter is really ruthless.

Wang Shao has been in Hehuang for so many years, and the people he has dealt with the most are Tubo people. He is not as narrow-minded as Zhang Dun, and even many Tubo people have become friends and are very close.

That is, the Tibetans and mastiffs that were requisitioned this time were all requisitioned based on their familiarity with these people, so they were simply killed like this?Anyway, it is a contribution to the country.

Wang Shao thought for a while, but didn't reply or express his opinion.However, he was going to ask the imperial court for a pardon in his personal capacity, and personally guarantee the lives of these Tibetans.Maybe it will be useful in the future.

The message stationed on the channel has not been answered yet, but the imperial court first received Wang Shao's petition for the Tubo people.Even Zhao Xi didn't expect that Zhang Dun would have such an idea.To a certain extent, Zhang Dun's approach is the most appropriate and the best way to prevent future troubles.

However, the imperial court had to pay attention to Wang Shao's request.After all, it is conceivable that the urgent expropriation of Tibetans this time should have a certain impact, and it cannot be done quietly.

"Don't mention the matter of Wang Zichun's solo report, just in the name of the court. Order the headquarters to organize a team of Tubo people and mastiffs as guides to prepare for smooth circulation in winter. Be sure to let the headquarters do a good job. Candidate screening and strict monitoring!"

From the standpoint of the planning of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Dun's approach is correct.But from the perspective of human nature, neither Zhao Xi nor the cabinet ministers could pass the test.

Seeing the officials say this, it seems that all the cabinet ministers are also relieved.Speaking of which, in the current cabinet, there are more ruthless people than people who are kind. It is said that Han Jiang and Wang Gui are kind, Zhao Xixin, but people like Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi, Zhang Fangping are also relieved, Zhao Xi Some do not understand.Is it possible that I am more ruthless than a few of them?

Doing so must have certain risks, which requires weighing risks and benefits.

All fighters win by right combination and by surprise.It is strange that Guochao plans to double-team Xixia strategically.With Guochao's current military strength, fighting Xixia alone, there should be no possibility of major accidents, unless the frontline commanders are incompetent.

The reason why they still resort to outrageous schemes when their strength exceeds is for absolute advantage, to reduce casualties, and to create a general trend.

It is also suitable to form and centrally manage the guide team of the Tubo people, or the driver team, which makes the plan of Guochao possible to be leaked.In the current situation where there are not many ministers and workers in the court who know about it, Wang Shao's guarantee really doesn't carry much weight.

Zhao Xi's support is the most fundamental.Zhao Xi's support was not because of the humanitarian spirit that filled his mind, but because of his trust in a forward commander.

In Zhao Xi's opinion, the more the court trusts Wang Shao, the better he can control the situation.

Let's do this for now, Zhao Xi really doesn't want Wang Shao to think too much.Even if Xixia knew about Guochao's deployment, do they have a solution?

Next, a large number of engineers will move westward to build a relay station for the entire passage... The secrecy will not be as tight as that of the Pathfinder team.

There is another possibility of doing this, which is to let the Tibetans know that selling themselves to the Song Dynasty is more suitable than selling themselves to their lords.

When the report from the front reached Bianliang, the function of the sled was also verified.Zhao Xi also felt a little ashamed when he experienced the soldiers recording the content of you and so on. If there is a sled in advance, the soldiers there will not be so difficult.

"It's a pity that it's not winter now, and we can't try the time when the hot water in Bianliang turns into ice at various hours, otherwise we can compare the gap between the passage and Bianliang military depots."

Although Fu Bi was very pleased to say that, Zhao Xi knew that such a comparison was meaningless. They didn't know that the temperature of hot water on the plateau was different from that in the Central Plains.

The appearance of the sled has advanced the progress of building the military depot. Even though the passage is still covered with ice and snow, the workshop city has already begun to transport materials to the west to prepare for the construction of the military depot.

At this time, the entire court began to know the court's plan.

Because of the three-level decision-making system, the supervision of the yamen and the secrecy law, the ministers and workers can only know in their hearts that they cannot be impeached unscrupulously in the court like before.After all, the imperial court has entered a relatively stable ruling mode.

Later, Guochao almost no longer had any taboos, and could no longer hide it. Building a military station could not achieve real secrecy at all.That's it.

Although the method at this time is still traveling westward in the form of a caravan, it is clear when this channel will have such a big business opportunity.The point is that Xixia, which is located on the sandbar, has not seen any caravans heading west out of Yumen Pass.

Knowing is one thing, taking action is another.For the current strength of the Song Dynasty, Xixia dare not question it like it did in the early years.Instead, they keep sending envoys to pay tribute, the real tribute, instead of the tithe that is not enough to take away as before.

Asked on the sidelines, no matter whether it was the escort envoy, the embassy envoy, or any familiar ministers, they were vague, and even told the Xixia envoy that the imperial court would reprimand the Hehuang Governor's Mansion.What about coaxing the children?
There is no sign of Shazhou. The only thing the Xixia people believe is that the epidemic in Dangjin Mountain will make the people of Song Dynasty retreat. They also set up military camps under Dangjin Mountain. Thirty thousand increased to fifty thousand.

What the imperial court did not expect was that Huangtou Huihe, a force that had no relationship with the imperial court at all, actually asked the imperial court to play through the soldiers on the passage, saying that it would pay tribute to the Song Dynasty.

"This cannot be rejected. It is one aspect to appease the Huangtou Huihe. The most important thing is to take this opportunity to let them know more about the area to the west."

Therefore, Huangtou Huihe came to Beijing, and in the spare time of Xixia envoys, Huangtou Huihe went to Bianliang to worship.
