Chapter 543 0540 [If I can’t defeat Qi, I can’t deal with you? 】

The next day.

Early in the morning, Han Zhen came to Chui Gong Hall to handle government affairs.

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

"I have met your Majesty."

The two bowed and saluted.

Han Zhen didn't waste any time and said straight to the point: "Last night, good news came from Liangzhe Road. Zhao Ji has been captured alive and is being escorted back to Beijing."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Shuye and Zhang Shuye looked happy and congratulated each other.

"I will notify Jinzouyuan later to cooperate in publicizing this matter."

Han Zhen paused and continued: "The purpose of summoning the two beloved ministers this time is to discuss adjustments to the strategy."

Zhang Shuye said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think Fujian is good, so we can send a large army to suppress the border and recover it quickly. However, there are many native tribes in Guangdong and Guangxi, so sending troops rashly may arouse the rebellion of the native tribes. Zhao and Song have been very aggressive in these years. The southwest ignored it and allowed the native tribes to develop, which made the native tribes, large and small, unruly and would rise up to resist if they were given a little control. The hundreds of thousands of mountains in Lingnan were so densely covered with miasma that even if there were a hundred thousand troops, they would have nowhere to show off. "

"Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that Fujian should be taken first, Lingnan should be released later, and people should be sent to contact the local officials in each state to set rules and it would not be too late to recover it."

The chieftain system took shape in the Han and Tang Dynasties and was formally established in the Song Dynasty.

But at this time, they are not called chieftains, they are called native officials.

What is toast?
Dali is actually the largest Tusi in Southwest China.

It's just that compared to Dali, the chieftains in Lingnan did not ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperors, but those chieftains had all the rights that an emperor should have.

In order to weaken the control of native officials over the tribes, the response strategy in the early Song Dynasty was to establish Jisi prefectures to cooperate with the official transfer system.

When native officials took up their posts in other places, Han officials were dispatched to supervise them.

It was a good idea to transfer local officials away from the local area and serve as officials in other places, and then send Han officials to restrain them. This weakened their dominance over their own tribes.

But in actual operation, this is not the case at all.

Even if the native official goes to serve as an official elsewhere, he still has his sons and brothers, and through these people he can still control the tribe, with almost no effect.

When Nong Zhigao rebelled, he didn't even go back. He only sent people back to the tribe to yell, and immediately gathered thousands of people.

This shows that these chiefs have high prestige among the tribes.

As for changing one's native land and returning to one's native land, don't think that these four words can easily solve the problem of chieftains.

Why was the Qing Dynasty able to reform the land and return it to its current status?
That's because the Ming Dynasty spent two to three hundred years laying the groundwork for reforming the country. After the Qing Dynasty took over, it could be implemented smoothly without much effort at all.

Now who will help pave the way for him?

As Zhao Song has been doing bad things to the southwest for more than a hundred years, it would be nice not to cause him any trouble.

Shi Wenhui suggested: "To deal with the Lingnan native tribes, we can use inducements to win over some and suppress others. If they submit, they will be rewarded with money and food. If they do not submit, they will be attacked by a large army. When the time is right, we can extend the favor order and divide the rights and interests of the chiefs of the native tribes." power, and slowly replaced them with Han officials."

"can."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "The military department drafted a decree and ordered Liu Qi to surrender Liu Yanqing, and then divided the troops into two groups to march to Sichuan. Yue Fei was ordered to seize the two Zhejiang roads and go south to Fujian. I want to see the middle of Shu before the new year. Fujian and other places will be included in our Daqi map!"

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

Hearing this, Han Zhen said coldly: "Let Chang Yukun surrender one last time. If that fails, let Liu Qi return to Beijing with Zongze's head."

"I accept your order!"

Zhang Shuye sighed in his heart and bowed in response.

He still admired Zongze very much, but he was too strong-willed and didn't know how to adapt.

As soon as the two of them left, Lao Jiu came in with his hind legs.

Lao Jiu looked solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, northern battle report." Seeing this, Han Zhen couldn't help but frown slightly, took the battle report and started reading it.

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

Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yujian divided their troops into two groups, one from the south and one from the north, and marched towards Linhuang Mansion.

The offensive went smoothly at first, but when the Jin army arrived, they were beaten to pieces.

Did you really agree with that sentence? If you can't defeat Qi, you can't be dealt with?
Yelu Dashi led an army of 60,000 men and was ambushed by Wanyan Jia Mu at Tu'er Mountain. Sixty thousand men were defeated against 30,000 men. In this battle, more than 10,000 men were killed and countless prisoners were taken. Yelu Dashi led a remnant army of 20,000 men and retreated to Quiet border city.

Yeluyu saw that he underestimated the enemy and advanced, and was defeated by Wanyan Zongwang himself in Guangyi City. Fortunately, there were artillery battalions and Xuanjia troops equipped with firearms in the army. Wanyan Zonghan was afraid, so he did not dare to pursue him. The losses were not huge. .

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Yelü Dashi is nothing more than that. How did you get beaten to pieces by this guy during the Northern Expedition?"

Lao Jiu Lao blushed and explained: "This...the present is different from the past. At first, Yelu Dashi had more than 10,000 elite Khitan cavalry under his command, but now they are just a mob, which cannot be compared with the same. Moreover, at that time, the Northern Expedition was mainly about Tong Guan gave random orders and underestimated the enemy."

To be honest, Yelu Dashi cannot be entirely blamed for this defeat.

Regardless of the fact that Yelu Dashi gathered 60,000 people under his command, in fact, except for the more than 10,000 people brought from Kedun City, the rest were all Liao people who had defected recently. They were a mixed bag, and the time was still short. Yelu Dashi did not have enough time to integrate practice.

Encountering the main force of the Jin army and being ambushed, a disastrous defeat was inevitable.

Originally, he thought of relying on Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yujian to seize Linhuang Mansion, but then he raised his arms and summoned the old officials of the Liao Kingdom to fight against the Jin Kingdom.

Now it seems that I think highly of them.

The Liao Kingdom has become so corrupt that it deserves to be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen ordered: "Pass on my decree, order Han Shizhong to lead 20,000 troops to assist Yelu Yujian in capturing Linhuang Mansion."

"Order!"

Lao Jiu responded and left in a hurry.

……

Shangjing Road.

Quiet border city.

Yelv Dashi was originally ambitious and planned to regain Linhuang Mansion in one go, but was hit in the head by Wanyan's mother, and he realized the cruel reality.

Without the help of Qi State, it would be difficult to even gain a foothold, let alone restore the country.

Yelu Dashi lost his previous high spirits and asked Ma Kuo.

After capturing the Xijing Road, Ma Kuo did not return to his country, but still followed Yelu Dashi, acting as Han Zhen's representative.

"This battle is due to my negligence. I would also like to ask Brother Ma to write a letter asking your Majesty to send troops to help."

Yelu Dashi knew very well that after opening the conversation this time, he would have to be humble and subservient in front of Han Zhen from now on, and he would not be able to stand up straight even if he succeeded in restoring his country.

But he couldn't do it without opening his mouth. On his own, even with Yelu Yujian, he couldn't win the Linhuang Mansion.

Facts have proved that the Jin army is still powerful in combat, but Qi is just better.

Hearing this, Ma Kuo comforted him and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. The King of Liao does not need to take it to heart. I have sent people to send the battle report back to Kaifeng. I believe that in a few days, your Majesty will send troops to help."

"Brother Laoma is here."

Yelu Dashi said gratefully.

"The King of Liao is welcome."

Ma Kuo waved his hand and suggested: "More and more people have joined the King of Liao in recent days, but they are all mixed up, and they cannot exert their fighting power. It is better to reorganize and streamline, select those who can fight, rush into the army, and the rest will be used as For the use of civilians.”

"I know this."

Yelu Dashi nodded solemnly.
