Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1301 The Man Controlled by the Calendar
The news of Princess Lantian's surrender to Li Cunxu was spread all over the country at a fast speed under the impetus of those who cared.

The first to boil was naturally Beiping.

In each square, all kinds of people have different expressions.

The faces of the chieftains of the Fan tribe were not very happy anyway.

When the Zianhu Rebellion broke out, they were left in the city by the sage to have a feast.When he came back to his senses, the tribe had already been suppressed by the army.

The leader is gone, and the rest don't know what to do.Except for a few unfilial sons who deliberately wanted their father to die, most of them surrendered in a daze.Then there was the registration of Qimin under the coercion of force, not only registered, but also moved to other places, scattered and resettled.People from other places moved over and took their land.

Therefore, even though they have acquiesced to the fait accompli, the resentment in their hearts always exists.I have always placed hope on changes in the external environment. For example, Hedong and Chengde jointly defeated the Xia army, and Youzhou, Cangjing, and Yiding rebelled again, completely changing the sky in Hebei and restoring the previous order-although the possibility is very small, but People always have the right to dream, right?
Now when he suddenly heard the news about Princess Shang Daxia, the son of King Jin, he felt as if he was in mourning, and felt ashamed as hell.

Businessmen and scholars are delighted by this.

Needless to say, the former is the most taboo for doing business.They have a perverted desire for a stable order, and they very much hope that the world will be unified, and then wipe out the bandits hiding in the mountains, forests and waters, kill the warriors who loot the goods, and reduce heavy business taxes.

Scholars see themselves as the country's official reserve.

"Is it useful to garrison so many forbidden troops in Luoyang?" Shao Shude asked, "It won't take a few generations, and everything will be ruined. It's just a waste of money and money."

As for the local tycoons, their attitudes are polarized.

Shao Shude wondered whether his descendants could maintain this relatively healthy way of recruiting soldiers.

In fact, the recruitment system of the Xia Dynasty is already much better than that of the Shence Army.They recruited directly from the children of the Imperial Army, and that's how the pro-party Jiaogu came.

"Then how should we dismiss so many soldiers and horses?" Shao Shude asked.

"Why are there so many events on November [-]th..." Shao Shude sighed.

This is to let the Jin army openly participate in the war.

Of course it is affordable, but it is normal for the Minister of the Household Department to be concerned about money. After all, after several years of hesitation at Fangchengkou, the reservoir has officially started construction, which is a big expense.Now Pei Shu is keeping a close eye on anything that involves expenses.

The old saying is good, if the cunning rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the Northland is unified, is there any value for them to use?What is the saint's attitude towards Wufu?After the world is unified, do we still need so many warriors?Do we still need their family of generals who are rooted in the local area?No one can guarantee.

He needs to have a look at the latest construction situation of the first-class national highway.

"Actually, it's not just these troops that need to be taken care of?" He smiled wryly, "Just say that there are tens of thousands of prisoners in Linshuo Palace."

Third, the number of times of absorbing troops from feudal towns and surrendering to tribes is not many, and the time is not fixed, and the peak period has passed.

But those general families were a little hesitant.

There are tribes in Qibei going south to plunder, should they send troops to conquer?

When there is peace, the importance of warriors will decrease, and it will be possible for them to come from behind and occupy the pinnacle of power.They were really suppressed too hard, and they hoped that the world would change—in their opinion, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than it is now, can it?

He is going to receive the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom.

Hubei Province has moved many immigrants, and the court needs to allocate resources.

******
The news continued to spread, and on the side of Linshuo Palace, Shao Shude called all the prime ministers and privy envoys to discuss the matter in the Linbo Pavilion.

On the side of Linshuo Palace, the second halls of Diligence and Benevolence are being built at a very fast pace with the continuous support of prisoners of war.

Second, private recruitment is usually the brave men of the Tutuan villagers or those introduced by the Forbidden Army warriors. The time, personnel, and frequency of this method are not fixed, but the accumulation is quite large.

Fourth, the reorganization of the establishment system has passed its peak period. For example, it used all its strength to absorb and digest the surrendered troops in Henan.

The palace official took it away carefully and organized it into files.There are many things written by the sage himself on it, such as things to do every day, etc., which will be handed over to the historians in the future, and they will select interesting things and record them in "Jian Shang Shi Lu".

The aristocratic family with a large family and business has a positive attitude towards this.In troubled times, such a huge target could easily become the target of looting by warriors.Many big families with a long history had to be broken up into pieces, and they would no longer be as brilliant as they were in the past.Today, the cooperation between the aristocratic family and the big family is still mainly based on cooperation, and everyone can see this.

The officials of the Privy Council rummaged through boxes and boxes, and copied files from Chang'an and Luoyang. After careful study, they found that since the Shence Army no longer absorbed surrendered soldiers and elite soldiers from the feudal towns, the combat effectiveness of this army has gradually declined, and eventually it became a pro-party clique. The bastard army - what the sages call "inbreds".

Shao Shude got up when he heard the words, quietly looked at the busy Miyagi construction site in the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

However, even if the second generation really dies, it is impossible to go back to the past.The newly rising dynasty has a good foundation laid by Great Xia. As long as the emperor is not stupid and knows to continue what Shao Sheng did, the world will eventually be unified.

It is better for him to succeed than to let Li Keyong and his ilk succeed.

Later, there were many more tribal prisoners and prisoners of the Yiwu Army, and at the same time, many local people in Youzhou were recruited for work-for-relief.To this day, most of the common people have returned home, and the captives are still busy. The construction of the second hall of diligence and benevolence is more than halfway done, and several pavilions, lakes, pools, and gardens have also been built to a considerable scale.

First, the recruits sent by the four courtyards are the most.

Li Ke used to save face, played with a small temper, and prevented his soldiers from becoming good, Shao Shude could understand.But since your people have come out, it's not up to you to decide what happens next. Shao Shude has many ways to concoct them.

"What if the conquest of Khitan is entrusted to the troops from all walks of life?" Shao Shude asked, "If it is feasible, I will transfer the Pinglu army back. By then, the four armies of Pinglu, Hengye, Youguo, and Wansheng Huangtou will have nearly 7 troops. People will be the main force, supplemented by tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers, and at most two of the four armies of iron cavalry, silver guns, Dingnan, and Feixiong will be brought along. The Anton Mansion may send some soldiers to support it. Is this arrangement appropriate?"

"Have all the rewards been distributed?" Shao Shude had already heard what happened to the Jin army along the way. Reminds me of the time when Zhu Quanzhong was just defeated. No fewer than [-] troops were sent down, and it took a lot of effort to solve it."

Guanbei Road suffered a poor harvest last year, and the court decided to avoid it for a year, and he still needs to make a final decision.

tomorrow--

"Your Majesty, it is safe to do so. However, I feel that it is best to use the forbidden army as the main force for the first conquest of Khitan." Chen Cheng said: "Whether it is Jin soldiers, Yan soldiers or Fan soldiers, their morale will not be too high. A big defeat may boost the morale of the thieves, and it will be much more difficult for them to conquer later."

He was referring to a decree issued by the sage just now, ordering the Privy Council to select two to three thousand well-behaved and strong men from Miyagi slaves to fill the Iron Forest Army—the current shortage of this army is still relatively large of.

"Your Majesty!" Pei Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "The bandits from Hedong are all cunning, they are not like good people, and the imperial court will definitely not be able to support them. Just drive them away and fight."

There are currently four major sources of recruits for the Great Xia Imperial Army:

What Chen Cheng meant was to stop thinking about consuming dissidents.In case of a big defeat, the Khitan people's self-confidence will be greatly strengthened, and future battles will not be so easy to fight.

It is necessary to determine the amount of offerings made by the Qing, Tang and Tibetan tribes.

If not, then the rate of degeneration of the Forbidden Army may be very fast.It's better if there is war, but if there is no war, it will take decades.

In the beginning, this kind of inbreeding species maintained a certain combat effectiveness due to tradition, customs or inertia.But as time goes on, everything will fail.

The Privy Council has no opinion on this.Because one of the main topics that the saint talked with them recently was the Shence Army of the former Tang Dynasty, and deeply analyzed the process of this army's rise, peak and decline.

There are four recruit training camps in Shanzhou, Lingzhou, Yunzhou, and Weizhou in Daxia. Among them, Shanzhou Academy and Lingzhou Academy have existed for quite a long time.Fortunately, the Lingzhou Academy, the Shanzhou Academy has poured in a lot of children of the Imperial Army in the past two years, and they are all people who want to eat the rice of a martial artist for a long time.

From now on, he will make more and more people realize that Jin and Xia are already a family.

There is another rebellion in Hexi, should the local generals be held accountable?

"Didn't Your Majesty already have a countermeasure?" Chen Cheng wondered.

It doesn't matter even if some people are still holding it up and down the river, and some people are reluctant.In the end, when everyone around them said so, the fake became true, and the careerists in Hedong didn't have much ability to turn the tables.

Shao Shude was noncommittal.

"I was given a string of money, a piece of silk, and a piece of woolen cloth, and they have already been distributed." Zhu Shuzong, the privy envoy who came from Luoyang, replied.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to talk about." Chen Cheng said: "If Khitan is conquered, and the Bohai Kingdom is abolished and placed in the county, the vast territory of Great Xia and the complexity of the people's sentiments will reach a new level. More than thirty people The Ten Thousand Forbidden Army is really not enough."

The original captives had long since "graduated".

Some families of generals are even seriously thinking about switching their descendants to study literature, perhaps they can gain something on another road and continue to maintain their status.

God, it's really about to change.

From the current situation, it can be considered that most of the recruits sent through the four channels are fresh blood, and the phenomenon of inbreeding is not serious.

"Forget it. Seek truth from facts." Shao Shude smiled, and said: "When the territory is too big, we should add troops; if we don't have enough money, we should stop and send them away. Do whatever you want. On the east side of the river, as long as we have The army bypassed the natural danger of Taihang and entered the Taiyuan Mansion. Even if there is a small rebellion, what can we do? But there are many elite soldiers in Hedong, so it is good to keep the vitality and tidy up slowly."

After the discussion was over, Shao Shude returned to the Jiaotai Hall and tore off the page on the tenth day of the first month of November in the imperial calendar.

Among the more than 5 people, thousands of people died of fatigue and accidents, and more than 3 people died of suppression. There are also a few strong, brave and well-performing soldiers who were added to the Forbidden Army as supplementary soldiers.The remaining [-] people have basically migrated to Ying and Fuzhou.

The only suspense now is how long this Shao family dynasty can last, and whether it will perish in the second generation.

In order to solve the stubborn disease of "pro-Party stickiness", it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of mobility in the Forbidden Army.

There are also tens of thousands of people in this group!
"My lord, please add more troops to the imperial army." Chen Cheng also got up and said.

"Since the Jin army has received the reward, let them go south, return to Xingzhou camp, and assist Zhenzhou." Shao Shude said again.

But no matter what people think, fait accompli is independent of anyone's will.It seems that Hedong is about to surrender. If Chengde Town is destroyed, the Northland will fall into a unification. This is something that has never happened after the Anshi Rebellion.

The court envoys from various prefectures are arriving one after another, presenting tributes from their prefectures, do you want to pick a few to meet?
Shao Shude looked at the densely packed itinerary, and wanted to hide in Changping Tang to play with women again. He felt that now he was completely controlled by the calendar.

"This one, bring it to the front." Shao Shude pointed and said.

After finishing speaking, he picked up a gold coin on the case and played with it repeatedly. It was somewhat similar to the ones collected by his later generations-a gold coin minted by the Eastern Roman Heraclius dynasty.

Shanggong Jie raised his eyes and saw that he was meeting the Sogdian Hu merchants?

But she is a professional and immediately agreed.
