When Zhao Zhen said this, Kou Ji couldn’t deny it. He bowed and said with a smile: "The day the official inspected the school, Zhu Neng blocked the ministers, and the ministers had to help him out. idea.
The minister couldn't hold him back, so he asked him a few words. "
Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile.
The three of Lu Yijian showed such an expression as expected.
Lv Yijian stroked his beard and said, "Dali is remote, and the folk customs are very different from that of the Song Dynasty. If Dali is brought under the rule of the Song Dynasty, the people of Dali will definitely resist.
If we take Dali and leave them alone, they will disturb my Da Song from time to time.
Therefore, the battle against Dali this time is not the key.
The key is how to deal with Dali after it has been laid down.
Both Shiheng's and Li Zhaoliang's methods have flaws.
You can suggest Zhu Neng's method, but it is a proper method.
Using Dali people to govern Dali, we control everything behind the scenes.
When we have merit, we take it.
There were times when Dali people were responsible.
All the hatred and contradictions are on the people of Dali.
When necessary, we can show some kindness to alleviate the contradictions in Dali.
When the hearts and minds of the people in Dali are eager to be attached to the Song Dynasty, we can formally incorporate Dali into the territory of the Song Dynasty without any further effort.
The beauty of this move is that we took all the money from Dali without being infamy. "
Speaking of this, Lu Yijian handed over to Zhao Zhen: "The minister agrees with Zhu Neng's strategy as stated in Shuzhong."
Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai followed closely and said, "The ministers and others also agree with this matter."
The reason why the three of Lv Yijian admired Zhu Neng's memorialization so much is because Zhu Neng's memorialization strategy fits their minds very well.
Li Zhaoliang's strategy of grabbing one vote and leaving is a bit like a bandit strategy.
Usable, but not sustainable for a long time.
There are too many robbed places, and the people in Dali will hate the Song Dynasty. The contradiction between the Song Dynasty and Dali is completely difficult to alleviate.
If Dali had a single heart, it would be a huge trouble for Da Song.
Although Da Song has enough strength to beat Dali.
However, if Dali is united and not afraid of death, Da Song will have to pay a great price to completely wipe out Dali.
The strategy proposed by Zhong Shiheng is the way that the court has always dealt with newly acquired land.
But this method also has certain drawbacks.
That is, when the Song law governs the newly acquired land, there will be many conflicts between the two sides. The local people will be very resistant to the officials sent by the Song Dynasty, and it is difficult to carry out some of the imperial decrees.
More importantly, if the people receive a little bit of unfair treatment, it will be infinitely magnified, and then there will be rebellion and resistance.
Nowadays, when the imperial court is ruling Xingqing Mansion, it has encountered corresponding problems.
The original local people were very resistant to the management of Da Song officials and would get together to make trouble whenever they were treated unfairly.
Some of the Song people who defected first also made trouble with the local people.
When the Song Dynasty governed the Xingqing Mansion, the government decrees used were still very loose.
Compared with Xixia's government orders to squeeze the people, such as the longevity horse, it is more than a bit better.
However, the local people were still dissatisfied.
The imperial court retreated a few steps accordingly, but did not get the approval of the original local people.
The local people continued to make trouble.
After the incident was reported to Bianjing, Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Lu Yijian and others discussed it for a long time.
In the end, it was negotiated and decided to relocate those people who were not subject to control in Xingqing Mansion and other places to the places where the two imprisoned troops were seated, and to restore the harsh decree that Xixia had previously implemented to control them.
It takes ten years.
Within ten years, those who have performed well and are willing to become the people of the Song Dynasty sincerely will not be moved to the place where the Song people live until they have undergone several levels of assessment.
Those who perform badly will be sent to the edge of the two deserts to eat sand.
Under the control of this method, it will not take many years.
Xingqing Mansion and other places no longer dared to resist the imperial court.
But this method takes a long time.
It takes decades of work.
Some local soldiers and horses cannot move for decades.
It was because of some troubles in digesting Xixia.
Therefore, when facing Dali, the three of Lu Yijian naturally considered the trouble they encountered in Xixia.
If Kou Ji hadn't proposed the method of ruling Dali people with Dali people, they would probably bite the bullet and choose the original method.
But now with Kou Ji's method of ruling Dali people with Dali people, they don't need to ask for trouble anymore.
Zhao Zhen smiled after seeing the three of Lu Yijian agreeing to the matter together, "The three Aiqings mean to agree that Zhu Neng is handsome?"
Lu Yijian said seriously: "The minister just approves of Zhu Neng's strategy, but the minister feels that Zhu Neng is not suitable to go to Dali."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then said in deep thought, "Does Lu Aiqing think Zhu Neng can't beat Dali?"
Lu Yijian frankly said: "Zhu Neng can be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield. He should not have any accidents when he goes to attack Dali. However, Zhu Neng still lacks in the management of Dali and how to use troops."
The way Kou Ji told Zhu Neng was a bit like cutting meat with a blunt knife.
Requires excellent mastery and measurement.
To force Dali to spend more money, but not to force Dali's dog to jump over the wall and break the net.
The calculations are deep.
Zhu Neng may not be accurate.
When Zhao Zhen heard Lu Yijian's words, he groaned and did not speak.
Wang Zeng handed his hands over at this time: "The minister thought that Zhong Shiheng could take on this important task. The achievements of Zhong Shiheng in ruling Qingjian City before, and the achievements of the ruling and the opposition are obvious to all.
He can fight well, and he can manage the place.
Whether it is in military or civil affairs, it can be well grasped.
He is the best candidate to conquer Dali. "
Zhao Zhen sighed: "I said before that whoever gives the best strategy is used. Now Zhu Neng gives the best strategy, but I don't use him, and I will lose faith in him."
Lu Yijian said indifferently: "Officials, the strategy mentioned in Zhu Neng's scribbles was not invented by him, but by Kou Ji's help. To calculate it carefully, this should be Kou Ji's strategy. , Not him.
Therefore, if the officials didn't use him, it would not be regarded as dishonest to him. "
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "After all, it was the memorabilia he handed over..."
"Then let the two of them go together."
Kou Ji suddenly spoke.
Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai all were taken aback.
After a daze, Lu Yijian curled his lips and said, "It's just a little Dali. Will it be a little exciting to send two important officials there?"
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and looked at Kou Ji.
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng are now both central ministers.
If in the past, the imperial court fought abroad and sent two central ministers, then no one would say anything.
But now, the Song Dynasty has risen and become a righteous overlord on the ground.
Send two central ministers to deal with a little Dali.
It's really exciting.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Lu Xiang only stared at Dali, but forgot about Jiaozhi. Nowadays, there are wars in Jiaozhi. If you are not careful, the war will burn into the Song Dynasty. Although Chen Yaozi sits on the border of Jiaozhi, Chen Yao Zi hasn't experienced any major battles so far, and if there is any major change in the fighting, he may not be able to cope with it.
Dali is adjacent to Jiaozhi.
Sending Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng to Dali together, on the one hand, can fight Dali, on the other hand, it can also prevent accidents in the Jiaozhi war.
Zhu Neng can also rush to help in time as soon as there is a major change in Jiaozhi. "
When the three of Lu Yijian heard this, they hesitated.
Kou Ji continued to laugh and said, "If Dali is really beaten down, that would be the demise of the country."
The three of Lu Yijian were taken aback for a moment, and then they spoke without hesitation.
"It was indeed proper for them to go together."
Kou Ji smiled when he heard the words, and said nothing more.
The reason why Lu Yijian and the three happily approved Zhu Neng and Chong Shiheng to go together is because of the four words Kou Ji called the "gong of destroying the country".
The merits of destroying the country are too dazzling for one person, and it is appropriate for two people to share it.
More importantly, after Kou Ji became the first military minister, the position of the military minister in the court has been significantly improved.
If there is another military minister with great merit and high status, then the position of the military minister in the court can rise by one level.
Now the military minister has the strength to fight against the civil minister.
If there is another military minister with great merit and high status, the military minister will have the strength to suppress the civil servants.
The three of Lu Yijian definitely did not want to see similar things happen.
It is precisely because Kou Ji knows their minds, that he chooses what they can hardly refuse.
After Zhao Zhen heard what Lu Yijian said, he did not rush to express his position, but said to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother really thinks that it is appropriate for Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng to go together?"
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhao Zhen pondered: "Then who is the master and who is the second?"
Kou Ji handed his hand: "Everything is determined by the officials."
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and said, "Then Zhu Neng will be the main one, and Zhu Neng will be the second. I will add Zhu Neng to the position of soliciting envoys, and he will not be overwhelmed by Chong Shiheng."
Lu Yijian heard this and hurriedly said: "Will there be conflicts in terms of authority?"
Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Wang Zeng took the lead and said: "One is external and the other is internal. There is no conflict. Besides, there is really a conflict, Zhu Neng can't argue with Zhong Shiheng.
The official family gave Zhu Neng the status of a solicitor, as long as it was to prevent Zhu Neng from being bullied too miserably. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Chui Gong Hall looked dumbfounded.
"Then it's settled, find an auspicious day and let them be a teacher!"
Zhao Zhen made a final decision.
Kou Ji and others agreed in unison.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen hit the Shusheren Cao Zhao and ordered Chen Lin to send the will to Chong Mansion and Zhu Mansion.
In this conquest of Dali, the court is preparing to dispatch one hundred thousand imperial troops to battle.
Local soldiers and horses in Chuanfu and other places cooperated with the 100,000 imperial army.
The Tianwu Army was the first to send to Jiaozhi.
If the Tianwu Army fights smoothly, the imperial court will not send a second Forbidden Army.
If the Tianwu Army fails to fight smoothly, then the Yongxing Army will follow suit into the battlefield.
It is not that the imperial court is stingy. In order to save troops, it is unwilling to send the two forbidden troops out together.
It is the trio of Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, and Li Zhaoliang who shared the belief that in the war against Dali, a Forbidden Army should be used to fight against each other, and no more should be added.
In their opinion, after the reorganization of Da Song's Forbidden Army, its strength has been significantly improved.
The existing 50,000 ban soldiers and horses are probably stronger than the 100,000 or even more ban soldiers before.
Coupled with the command of these battle-tested veterans, the fighting power that erupts must be much stronger than before.
More importantly, they all mentioned firearms in their memorials.
They all want to bring firearms when they go out to fight.
The firearm is now being forged, and it will take some time to be fully equipped.
It takes a process for soldiers and horses to be familiar with firearms.
Even if the Privy Council equips them with firearms, it is impossible to equip them with too many firearms.
You must wait until soldiers and horses are familiar with firearms and can use firearms to fight before they can fully equip them.
Otherwise, the firearms are equipped in one go, and soldiers and horses are not familiar with fighting with firearms, and they don't even know how to use firearms reasonably.
The firearm was not a weapon they used in combat, but a reminder.
Kou Ji discussed this with Zhao Zhen, and finally decided to equip the Tianwu Army with 10,000 firearms.
At the same time, a thousand people were transferred from the firearms battalion and filled into the position of basic officer in the Tianwu Army, teaching and commanding firearms for soldiers and horses.
Dali will be their trial ground.
After some detailed rules were agreed, the government and the opposition quickly entered the state of preparation.
After nine days of preparation.
After you have prepared everything you need.
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng, led 51,000 soldiers and horses, quietly left Bianjing.
When sending troops, Zhao Zhen followed Kou Ji's suggestion, and did not mobilize the public to promote it.
Kou Ji believes that preaching around before the war is easy to cause panic among the people and is easy to be used by people with ulterior motives.
Might as well send troops silently.
When the great victory enters Beijing, it will be announced to the people.
The common people only need to know that the court has won the battle. Others, there is no need to let the common people know.
Because the people knew that the court had won the battle, they would feel proud and would cheer and celebrate.
Knowing that the imperial court has defeated the battle will only cause panic.
Knowing that the imperial court will send troops outrageously will only cause deep concern.
Whether it is panic or worry, it is of no benefit to the court and the people, so avoid it if you can.
When Zhu Neng and Chong Shiheng were leaving Beijing, Kou Ji went to see each other off.
Kou Ji originally thought that Zhu Neng would be dissatisfied because of being robbed of the position of coach by Chong Shiheng.
But after seeing Zhu Neng, Kou Ji discovered that Zhu Neng was not dissatisfied with this, but had a bright smile on his face.
Outside the Bianjing city.
Shili Pavilion.
Kou Ji looked at Zhu Neng who was smiling, and said suspiciously: "You were robbed of the position of coach, so you are not angry?"
Zhu Neng smiled and said: "There is nothing to be angry about. My purpose is to play Dali, whether it is the coach or not, in fact, I don't care. Besides, I'm not good at managing local things.
The officials sent me and Chong Shiheng to fight, and Chong Shiheng governed the place, which complemented each other.
So I have nothing to be angry about. "
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Zhu Neng smiled again and said: "Previously, I was fighting with Chong Shiheng for the position of coach, mainly because I was worried that the court would only send one of us out. Now that we are willing to let the two of us out together, then we have nothing to fight for. "
Speaking of which.
Zhu Neng looked at Zhong Shiheng, and he laughed: "It's all from his own family. If you really get Dali, you won't underreport my credit, don't you?"
Zhong Shiheng curled his lips and said, "If you lose any credit, you can't lose it."
Zhu Neng smiled brighter when he heard this.
Zhong Shiheng followed with a smile and said, "Li Zhaoliang should be the most uncomfortable now."
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "Li Zhaoliang feels that the officials have opinions on him. These few days, he is writing a letter to the officials."
Zhu Neng and Chong Shiheng smiled and said, "Will the officials reason with him?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "The three generations of the Li family are Zhongliang, and the officials have to give him a little bit of face. Besides, Li Zhaoliang is not a stupid person. He knows that offending the officials has nothing to end, so at most complain a few words, it won’t be true. Break with the official family."
"How did the officials react after getting Li Zhaoliang's memorabilia?"
Zhong Shiheng asked curiously.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The officials are very pleased..."
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng looked stunned.
Kou Ji explained: “In the past, when officials wanted to send individuals out to fight, they had to give the officials a face. Now, whenever there is a war, the officials don’t need to ask for someone. Some people take the initiative to ask for a fight, even for the sake of asking for a fight. When things were awkward with him, he naturally felt relieved.
More importantly, in the past, whenever there was a war in the Song Dynasty, from top to bottom, there was a sound of fear of war.
Nowadays, not only do I have no fear of fighting, but I complained because I couldn't play.
It can be seen that all the military ministers of the Song Dynasty were able to fight, daring to fight, and not afraid to fight.
How could the officials not feel relieved. "
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng nodded together, agreeing with Kou Ji's statement.
Atmosphere is something that is easy to see.
In the past, when the court dealt with wars, the atmosphere was really bad.
Obviously it is a big and turbulent country, but when it comes to dealing with war, it is inferior to some small states.
It's different now.
When the court dealt with wars, it had the tolerance of a big country.
Big countries are supposed to bully people.
Being bullied, what a big country is that still called.
A big country is supposed to be feared.
Don't be afraid of others, what a big country is that still called.
After Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng nodded, Kou Ji said to the two people: "I am here to see you off this time, and there is one more thing to tell you."
When Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng heard the words, their faces were serious, and they waited for Kou Ji's instructions.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "The officials will send some craftsmen to make money to Chuan Prefecture to build a coin workshop at the junction of Chuan Prefecture and Dali. The money you seized in Dali will be recast. Flow into the Song Dynasty.
The gold, silver and copper mines you dig with the Dali people will also flow into the Song Dynasty after the money is made.
On the bright side, you only need to send some useful gold and silverware, as well as some wood, jade, jewelry, etc., that you have seized to the court. "
Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng frowned together.
What is the war picture
The picture shows land, money, and fame.
The ground cannot be taken away.
But money and reputation can be moved, and the two are complementary.
After winning the battle, take the enemy's money and the enemy's head to the city of Bianjing. When the people see it, they will definitely praise you.
But now they are not allowed to send the money back, so how do they become famous
How can they show their credit and hard work if they don't let them send back the money in a swaggering manner
Kou Ji could see their thoughts through their reactions.
He continued: "Don't worry, it should be your credit and reward, and there will be no less. The reason why Dali's money is secretly flowed into our Da Song Dynasty is mainly to avoid some financial and political problems."
When Zhong Shiheng heard this, he was thoughtful, but Zhu Neng was puzzled.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "For example, when money is scarce, it is very valuable. One penny can buy something for one penny. But if it is too much, money becomes worthless.
If the money is not worth it, the effort to buy things will drop drastically.
In the past, one penny can buy a steamed bun. Once the money is worthless, it is very likely that only three or five penny can be used to buy a steamed bun. "
Zhu Neng understood a little bit, lowered his head in thought.
Zhong Shiheng slowly said, "This matter seems to have no effect on us..."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "But it has a big impact on the people. The people are already poor, and their lives are already sad. Once prices soar, their lives will become even more sad.
Once the people can't live their lives, they will rebel. "
Zhong Shiheng nodded slowly, "That's also..."
Speaking of this, Chong Shiheng groaned: "The court should think of a way to make the people rich. Otherwise, there will be big problems. Now it is possible to hide the foreign wealth that flows in, but once it can't be hidden. At that time, major conflicts and contradictions will erupt."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "It's a bit difficult to make the people rich."
It is impossible for the imperial court to send money directly to the people. If it were to send money directly, the money would become even less valuable.
Therefore, the imperial court can only guide the people to find ways to get rich.
The problem is that nine out of ten people live on farming.
And ninety-nine percent of the land is in the hands of the rich and powerful.
The imperial court tried to increase the income from farming, and ultimately benefited those big households, not the people.
Only by letting the people truly own the land and increasing their income from farming can the people become rich.
If you want to grab the land from the rich and powerful, you must implement a relative decree.
The problem is that the person responsible for pushing the executive order is itself a wealthy family.
It is impossible for a wealthy family to show kindness and voluntarily surrender their own interests.
So a big fight is inevitable.
If you want to win in this big battle, you must firmly grasp all the right to speak in your hands.
To seize all the right to speak, we must reform the cultural system.
Therefore, cultural innovation is imperative.
Only cultural innovation is a long process and cannot be accomplished overnight.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji are now laying out for cultural innovation, but they will never act rashly until they are ready.
