Without comparison, there is no harm.
In the inherent thinking of the Song people, under the rule of the officials, without closing their homes at night and not picking up the road, that is the realm of great governance.
It is Daxian who can turn the rule into such a shape.
But Kou Ji's words helped Fan Zhongyan and his party to open a door, allowing them to see a different way of being an official.
Officials govern local areas not only to keep their homes closed at night and keep their roads untouched, but also to lead the people to wealth, let the people eat, and let the people have money.
When the people have money, the court will become richer.
When the court is rich, it can do many, many things.
Build water conservancy, reinvigorate education, temper soldiers, and conquer Siyi.
When the four barbarians surrender, the people are rich, the soldiers are brave, and everyone is literate, who dares to say that the country is not strong
Who would dare to stand on the Great Song Dynasty's Hanging Arch Hall and put down his arrogant words
Kou Ji watched Fan Zhongyan lead the guards to salute him, and said with a bitter expression: "You don't have to be polite... What I said today has not yet been confirmed. When Shazhou really becomes prosperous, It’s not too late for you to salute me again."
Kou Ji didn't want to obliterate the enthusiasm of the supervising army, so he didn't say any frustrating words, just said a word of shirk.
Fan Zhongyan took the lead and said: "The students will take them to confirm Mr.'s decree together."
Kou Ji nodded in tears and said, "In addition to developing Shazhou, I have one more thing to tell you. This matter is out of my mouth and into your ears. I can only do it, not say it, let alone tell others. "
"Sir, please order..."
"This time the Shazhou Uighurs have been destroyed, and many women are left. Even though I send three wives to the people who are left behind, there are still many women left.
These women, we can't leave them alone, and we can't watch them die alone.
So I hope that you can secretly acquiesce in those civilian husbands and soldiers who do not want to stay in Shazhou to find them.
But be sure to keep an eye on the civilian husbands and soldiers secretly.
A civilian husband, a soldier, can only find a woman.
Don't mess around.
I hope that when the people's husband and soldiers return to Bianjing, the women who stayed in Shazhou City can successfully become pregnant. "
Kou Ji's voice fell to the ground, and the supervisors stared at Kou Ji in amazement.
Kou Ji coughed, and solemnly said: "Ten years later, this place will be the people of Song Dynasty."
When the guards heard this, they instantly understood what Kou Ji meant.
Ten years later, when the newborns arrive, they all speak Chinese, and they all have the blood of the Han family, and they are all Han children.
Ten years later, there will be no more Shazhou Uighurs.
Only Shazhou under the rule of the Han family.
Even though the Great Song Dynasty could not occupy Shazhou for a long time, the people of Shazhou were also Han children.
The supervisors all agreed.
Kou Ji told them to go down and prepare.
After the guards left, Kou Ji looked at Fan Zhongyan who was still in the temple, and said dumbfounded: "Brother Fan, you and my brother are worthy of you, why do you..."
Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Fan Zhongyan said with a serious face: "Brother Xian, I called you Brother Xian for the last time. I didn't make a joke with you, I am very serious about accepting you as your husband.
Your way of being an official and your teachings are exactly what I have been pursuing for many years as an official.
If you can carry forward your way of being an official and lead all officials in the world to follow suit, who would dare to be inferior to the people of Song Dynasty.
In a mere Liao country, how dare to speak loudly with me. "
Kou Ji saw that Fan Zhongyan stubbornly regarded what he said as the most reasonable, and could only respond with a wry smile.
Fan Zhongyan is a well-known wise minister in history books.
But anyone who can become a well-known virtuous minister in history books has a somewhat stubborn temper.
What they believe will not change easily.
No one can persuade in a few words.
Kou Ji persuaded Fan Zhongyan to say a word. Seeing the persuasion, he knew that Fan Zhongyan had made up his mind, and he could not shake his words.
Kou Ji sighed with a wry smile.
Fan Zhongyan said with emotion: "When I first entered the city of Bianjing, you told me that you should worry about the world's worries first and enjoy the joy of the world afterwards. I have always kept this sentence in my heart, and I have been working hard. Close to this sentence.
It's just that I have been in the middle of Korea for a long time, and I have seen more officials, and my mind is slightly shaken.
I always feel that no one can do it in the world.
I didn't understand until after listening to your words today.
You did it, and you did it well.
I should not be swayed, I should act according to this sentence. "
Rao is Kou Ji's face is thick enough, when Fan Zhongyan said these words, his cheeks blushed a little.
He used what Fan Zhongyan had said to conquer Fan Zhongyan.
Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan would one day use his famous words to praise himself.
"Brother Fan..."
"Mr. will call the student a Greek word from now on."
"..."
Kou Ji was no more than Fan Zhongyan, so he could only laugh or cry: "Xiwen... There is a place where you need to sit down in person..."
Fan Zhongyan was taken aback for a moment, and said in deep thought, "The place Mr. said is the Thousand Buddha Cave?"
Kou Ji slowly nodded, "Those monks are hostile to us, and they are very powerful. Let them reclaim wasteland and let them work in agriculture. They probably won't compromise easily.
So you need to guide you. "
Fan Zhongyan nodded slowly, and said with a serious face: "Giving it to students is..."
After a pause, Fan Zhongyan questioned: "Sir, there were a lot of people just now, and there were some things that the students were inconvenient to say. Now you and I are left, and the students want to ask Mr."
Kou Ji motioned: "But it doesn't hurt to say..."
Fan Zhongyan groaned: "Hundreds of thousands of people have opened up wasteland and farmed. According to the requirements, they have to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. There are not so many fertile fields in Shazhou."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. When our army takes Guazhou, it will be there."
Fan Zhongyan nodded slowly and continued: "If the cultivated land exceeds the number, how should it be distributed? The people who migrated from the Song Dynasty, or..."
Kou Ji continued to smile and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I care about it myself."
Seeing that Kou Ji had a good idea, Fan Zhongyan stopped asking more questions.
He arched his hands and said, "The student will retire first..."
After Fan Zhongyan bowed his hand to salute, he withdrew from the hall.
Kou Ji stood alone in the hall and sighed faintly, "What is this..."
After sighing, Kou Ji sent someone to recruit Liu Heng.
After Liu Heng arrived.
Kou Ji instructed Liu Heng to distribute the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shazhou City into a team of 100 people and dispatch them to various parts of Shazhou.
The deserters and deserters of the Shazhou Uyghurs who were dominating Shazhou were eliminated, and by the way, the wolf, insect, tiger and leopard were driven away.
Prevent them from becoming a stumbling block on the way for the people to open up wasteland.
After Liu Heng agreed, he went down and arranged according to Kou Ji's instructions.
Fan Zhongyan, Jianjun, Liu Heng and others were busy for two full days before allocating the civilian husbands and soldiers, and then taking them out of the city.
The more than 10,000 civil servants left in the city, under the supervision of the army, began to clean up the ruined walls in the city.
Some are proceeding in an orderly manner according to Kou Ji's orders.
It was cold winter when Kou Ji left Bianjing.
After Kou Ji arranged everything in Shazhou City, early spring had already arrived.
The severe cold in Shazhou ended much later than the severe cold in Bianjing.
So when the earth recovers, the cold wind in Shazhou is still bitter.
Kou Ji supervised the civilians to clean up the ruined walls in the city, and the civilians outside the city to reclaim the wasteland, while waiting for news of Bianjing City.
Counting the days, Xiang Yan should have been born long ago, but he hasn't got any news yet.
He felt a little anxious, faintly worried about his children and Xiang Yan.
As for the military situation of Yang Wenguang, Zhu Neng, and Li Zhaoliang, Kou Ji didn't care at all.
When Yang Wenguang went to Huangtouhuihe, he was picking up the bargain.
The heavy soldiers of Huangtouhuihe are now inextricably fought against the stone-collecting army in Qingtang. Those who remain in the territory of Huangtouhuihe are all tribal private soldiers with poor equipment and average combat effectiveness.
The two guards of the Dragon God led by Yang Wenguang were armed to the teeth.
Coupled with the cooperation of the horse thieves in Zhang Yuan's hands, it was easy to deal with the private soldiers of those tribes.
The people of the Western Regions are not so attached to the city, and the people of the Western Regions do not care about the gains and losses of 10% of the land.
Therefore, the defenses of many cities in the Western Regions are not very comprehensive, and the city walls are very low.
Some of the walls of the city may not be as high as the inner city of Shazhou City.
Yang Wenguang doesn't need to make too many tactics, he just needs to push all the way to the past.
So Yang Wenguang hit Huangtouhuihe and went to pick up the city.
At least before he hits the hinterland of Huangtouhuihe, he will not encounter too powerful Huangtouhuihe soldiers and horses.
As for Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang, they are both veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Their subordinates lead twice as many elite troops as Li Yuanhao. All the supervising troops in the army have been cleaned by Kou Ji. They can Feel free to deal with Li Yuanhao, if they lose, then they should commit suicide by swallowing dung.
Kou Ji anxiously waited for a few days, but did not wait for the news of Bianjing.
In a few days, the folks in the city have cleaned up the inner city, and the folks outside the city have cultivated and planted 100,000 mu of fertile land (of which 50,000 acres of fertile land for planting trees does not need to be reclaimed, but it is counted in the number of words. Within).
The fine varieties were all seized from the warehouses of the Shazhou Uighur nobles.
Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang sent the messengers back to report on the military situation twice.
The two have arrived in Guazhou and are discussing how to break the city.
Yang Wenguang and Zhang Yuan both dispatched soldiers to pass the military information back.
They have already entered the territory of Huangtouhuihe, and within a day, they even defeated the three cities at the junction of Huangtouhuihe and Shazhou.
News that Kou Ji didn't care too much about came in one after another, but none of the news that he cared about.
Time flies.
It's the first day of February.
Early in the morning.
Riding a fast horse, cut through the quiet Shazhou City and rushed into the palace.
The soldiers on horseback shouted loudly as they rushed into the palace.
"Guazhou City has been broken... Guazhou City has been broken... Li Yuanhao led his army to retreat to Yumen Pass..."
When Kou Ji got the news, he was also taken aback.
He didn't expect that he waited for a long time and didn't wait for the news of his wife and children, but first waited for the news that Guazhou was breached.
Kou Ji asked the generals to welcome the soldiers into the side hall of the palace. After the generals panted well, he asked, "How exactly was the war in Guazhou fought?"
The soldiers hurriedly reported: "Five days ago, General Li and our General Zhu joined forces and attacked Guazhou City. Li Yuanhao led the crowd on the walls of Guazhou City and fought for a full day and night.
Our army attacked the city wall of ** State City several times, and for the last time, it broke through the entire west wall of Guazhou City.
Knowing that he was invincible, Li Yuanhao led the iron Harrier to rush out of the encirclement of our army, led the other servants, and retreated to Yumen Pass.
Guazhou City was occupied by our army. "
Kou Ji nodded slowly when he heard the words and was able to take Guazhou so quickly, which Kou Ji expected.
In terms of military strength, the Great Song soldiers and horses occupy an absolute advantage.
In terms of armaments, the Great Song Army also occupies an absolute advantage.
The Iron Harrier under Li Yuanhao's has been beaten and half disabled, and he can't recover after a while.
Those servants under Li Yuanhao's hand were not weak in combat effectiveness.
But it is difficult to compete head-on with the large number of soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
There are not many favorable terrains in Guazhou to ambush. He can't calculate the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, nor can he compete head-on with the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty. After a fight, a strategic retreat is inevitable.
With the exception of the Great Song Dynasty, the surrounding nations did not count the gains or losses of a city when fighting.
Often in order to win a big victory, they can give up a lot when fighting.
For example, when Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi conquered Liao.
Brother Yeluxiu, the great king of the Southern Hospital of Liao State, once gave up most of the sixteen states of Yanyun in order to invite you to enter the urn.
Cheng Gong led the Song Army into the ambush and defeated it.
Therefore, strategic retreat is definitely not a shame in Xixia and Liao, but a manifestation of wisdom.
After learning about the war in Guazhou, Kou Ji asked: "How about our army's casualties and how heavy the losses?"
The soldier drank a sip of water and continued: "Our army is not among the casualties, protected by step armor, and if the iron harrier can't get out, few Xixia soldiers and horses can injure our soldiers.
However, the civilian men who accompanied the army were injured a lot, and a lot of food was burned. "
Kou Ji raised his brows slightly and looked questioning.
Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly said: "Taking advantage of the cavalry, the Xixia soldiers continue to harass our army to escort the heavy-duty teams. Most of our soldiers are on foot, and the two newly formed cavalry are not the opponents of the Xixia soldiers and horses. .
As a result, a lot of grain and grass were burned, and many civilians suffered casualties. "
Kou Ji pondered for a while and said: "As for food and grass, I will send someone to make up for you as soon as possible. In terms of warfare, I can't say much. Go back and tell Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang to let them fight steadily and don't have to go ahead.
When there is no 60% certainty, proceed cautiously.
Tell them that now that Guazhou has been taken, the situation has opened up.
Even if the court would not let us take Hexi, it would be impossible.
So they don't need to take risks.
Tell them that we have time to spend with Li Yuanhao.
There is no need to head-to-head with Li Yuanhao. "
