Not only this message, but there are many other messages, some useful, and some useless.

Song Jiu sorted out these information, and first of all, he had to find out the reason why Li Jiqian was able to become powerful, not only Li Jiqian's military ability, but also why all ethnic groups were so desperately supporting him. This was not in Liaodong, the entire rear was the Jurchens, and it was also a place where the four states of Dingnan were civilized, and there were many Han people, Tuyuhun people, Tubo people, and Qiang people of other races. These races were not united with each other, and even the Dangxiang people were not united.

So you have to find out the real reason before you can prescribe the medicine.

He put down his affairs and stayed in the Privy Council for two days, and finally got some clues.

And how to prescribe this potion.

After thinking about it for two more days, Song Jiu threw out the two pieces of information at the Political Affairs Hall.

Song Jiu once again talked about the history of the difficulty. It was not mentioned during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, but the past tense. It was not about their history, but about mentality and right or wrong.

Zhao Kuangyin succeeded to the throne, Li Yiyin surrendered and changed his name. Was Li Yixing so loyal to the Song Dynasty? No, what he did was just to get the recognition of his regime in Xiazhou by the Central Plains and to gain benefits. The effect was also good. Zhao Kuangyin recognized his governance power in the settlement and was appointed as the Grand Marshal. In the early Song Dynasty, there was only one person except Li Yixing, Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu was also sitting and said coldly: "Song Jiu, what ability did the imperial court have at that time to look west?"

"Yes, but I didn't say that the late emperor did something wrong. The history I talked about was to find out from history that Li Jiqian could gather all the clans to rebel."

Zhao Pu did not make any more noise.

During this period, he suffered heavy losses. His new in-law Gao Huaide died, and the influence of this marriage gradually decreased. His comrade-in-arms, Lao Wang Pu, also died, and the impact was even greater.

So Zhao Pu sent someone to threaten that Wang Pu was angry to death by Song Jiu.

After hearing the rumors, Song Jiu said only one sentence: "If Wang Pu is angry to death by me, it only means that he is guilty and has not done anything wrong. Why are he afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night? If he did not do something wrong, why can I piss him to death? It is shameful to use dead people to make a fuss."

Zhao Pu was a conspiracy, and Song Jiu was an open conspiracy, and he fought a similar battle.

But Zhao Pu did not dare to interfere in military affairs. This was not his strength, and if he did not do it properly, he would humiliate himself. Therefore, he remained silent.

Song Jiu also has a boss. In theory, Cao Bin is the No. 1 Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture, and he is only the No. 2 Prime Minister. However, Cao Bin was not in a good mood at this time. He said a few months ago that the Eighthshu of Dingnan would not rebel. He turned his back before he finished speaking. What would he say?

Song Jiu continued to talk.

No matter what, Li Yixing did a good job, but Zhao Kuangyin treated him well.

Continuing to intrigue, Song Jiu offered a plan before, but Zhao Kuangyin did not adopt it. It was not that he did not pay attention to the northwest, but that Song Jiu's plan was too radical.

The Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun took advantage of the fact that the Song Dynasty was not stable and colluded with the Khitan and Daibeizhuzhen troops to form the west bank of the Yellow River. Li Yixing sent troops to Linzhou to rescue him. Liu Jun had to withdraw his troops, and Li Yixing reported his merits to Zhao Kuangyin. It seemed that he had made contributions, but Li Yixing did this to protect the four states of Dingnan. Moreover, from the history of the Five Dynasties, although Zhao Kuangyin did not have the developed intelligence system of Song Jiu, his intuition told him that the Li family should pay attention to it. He sent the Five Road Jiedushi to the front line of Lingzhou, Yanzhou.

Li Yixing was helpless, his arms could not fight his thighs, so he offered three hundred horses. He knew the truth, so Zhao Kuangyin rewarded the jade and brought it to him. In fact, if Li Yixing had any bad actions at this time, Zhao Kuangyin would probably take action. None of the five major military governors in the northwest could be easily messed with! However, Li Yixing did not have the handle to give it to him, and Zhao Kuangyin focused on the unification of the Central Plains and continued to super-restraint them.

In fact, at this time, the tribes in the northwest saw the civil strife of the Central Plains and the continuous changes, and gradually looked down on the Central Plains dynasty. Li Yixing was still able to restrain the tribes. Li Yixing died and Li Guangrui succeeded to the throne. Several foreign tribes began to engage in a non-prime business of robbing families on the border of the Northern Song Dynasty. Li Guangrui acknowledged their behavior.

He didn't care about Zhao Kuangzhuan's orders. He quickly sent troops to ask Dong Zunhui to suppress them. Li Guangrui pretended to behave and expressed his gratitude to the court, thanking Zhao Kuangyin for quelling the rebellion for Xiazhou. Then the governor of Suizhou Li Guangxiu died and the Suizhou was in turmoil. This time, Li Guangrui had super capable skills and quickly sent troops to quell the civil strife and supported Li Guangxiu's son Li Pilu as the governor of Suizhou. This was a fear that Zhao Kuangyin took the opportunity to send troops to Suizhou under the pretext of quelling the rebellion. Then he plundered Li Guangrui with the tribes in front of him, and he could see Li Guangrui's mentality.

They questioned the loyalty of the Song Dynasty, but their methods were very clever.

When Pan Mei Party entered the Northern Han Dynasty, Li Guangrui sent troops to help, broke into Wubao Village, and obtained countless cattle and sheep armor. We sent troops, we helped, and we got almost the benefits. So wait for the Yellow River to cross the river again, so we withdrew our troops. Let's see how the Zhe family helped? That's what it means to really send troops to help.

Zhao Kuangyi became the emperor, and Li Guangrui changed his name to Li Kerui. Some Qiang people actually robbed the tributes from Lingzhou to the capital. Dong Zunhui took people to Xiazhou. Li Kerui found the robbers, sent all the robbers back, and apologized to the court.

You should know who were the five major military governors in the northwest at that time?

Zhao Zanyanzhou, Yao Neibin Qingzhou, Dong Zunhui Huanzhou, Wang Yansheng Yuanzhou, and Feng Jiye Lingwu.

These five tiger generals are all important generals of Li Hanqiong's level.

How many generals in the army can reach their level now? Even if there are, they are mostly placed in Hebei and Hedong, so how can they place them all in the northwest?

However, the Dingnan tribes did not take the Song Dynasty seriously.

There is nothing else, because the Central Plains dynasty's favoritism towards them made them more and more despise the Central Plains dynasty. They began to yearn for their own absolute freedom, a freedom that was not restricted by any outsider, and continued to despise the Central Plains, and they also wanted to plunder from time to time, continuing to do so like the Five Dynasties.

So this gave Li Jiqian the soil and mass base for his rebellion.

Li Kerui died, and Li Jiyun died. His son was still young, so he established Li Jipang. However, Li Jipang was not capable enough. Yinzhou Governor Li Keyuan and his younger brother Li Keshun launched an army to attack Xiazhou, but the news leaked. Li Jipang set up an ambush to kill Li Keyuan. Li Kewen wrote to the court to summon Li Jipang into the court. Although the tribes have not made any comments for the time being, there were many civil turmoils in the four prefectures in the past. But they all solved it themselves. When will they rely on outsiders? Moreover, Li Jipang contributed to the four prefectures in the four prefectures in the two prefectures. Many leaders were not convinced.

This is also the reason why Li Jiqian was able to quickly gain power with dozens of people.

Another reason why Li Jiqian dared to do this is that he had a Han adviser named Zhang Pu.

It was this person who offered his advice that Li Jiqian escaped from Jinze. The water and soil here were not as deteriorated as later generations. Although there was wind and sand, there were many grasses growing. The desert became the best cover. It was only 300 miles away from Xiazhou and was connected with Liao. You can get a glimpse of Xiazhou and retreat to escape to Liao.

There were some tribes on the land Jinze. Although they were economically dependent on the Song Dynasty, they respected Tuoba. When Li Jiqian was promoted to the official position of the Ministry of Public Affairs, they were the ones who managed these tribes. Here he had prestige and facilitated the initiation of the masses.

"Your Majesty, not only the four states, but also the Hengshan area, Lingwu and other places, have this idea of ​​being dismissive of the Central Plains. If you are careless, the entire northwest may be completely corrupt."

"It won't be that serious..." Cao Bin said. But this time he said it a little unconfident.

"Duke Cao, although there was no major incident in the northwest during the late emperor, it was General Li and General Yao and others in the northwest. They were all first-class generals. Moreover, the center of gravity of the late emperor was only the south at that time, and did not really take action on the northwest. Now that the south has been taken back, the center of gravity is the north, and the situation will be different. Besides, our dynasty can intervene in Liaodong. Can the Liao Kingdom intervene in the northwest? The wool trade route has been opened, and the wool trade route is in peace in the northwest. The wool trade route will play a huge role. The northwest is in chaos and the wool trade route is blocked, so we cannot win over and block the divination. The Khitan is divided, but our dynasty has to use troops to the northwest. How big is the difference between one positive and one negative?"

In fact, it is mainly because Li Jiqian is a monster.

However, Song Jiu said that Li Jiqian was a monster, so what evidence was there?

At this time, he was very glad that he rushed back in time and opened up the wool trade route, otherwise he would not have found a reason to convince.

Everyone was silent.

The so-called wool trade route is not only to block the divination, but also to the Tubo, Ganzhou Uighurs, and the tribes in the northwest.

And most of us start wearing warm cardigans.

It also has the significance of the transaction between the Song Dynasty and Dashi. The main imports of Dashi were glass, spices, medicinal materials, cotton products, blanket products, and some jewelry and jade.

Under the promotion of Song Jiu, glazed products were in turn dumped. With the start of new textile machinery, wool products and cotton products would be dumped in turn to Dashi. Trade would generate a lot of surplus, and the Song Dynasty would obtain more gold and silver to supplement the scarce currency.

"Song Qing, what are you going to do?" Zhao Kuangyi asked.

No matter how important the wool trade route is, this is the first step toward prosperity, and Zhao Kuangyi does not want to make any mistakes.

"Meishan Man."

"Meishan Man?" Zhao Kuangyi pondered.

Meishanman often came out to burn, kill and loot, which made the Song Dynasty very troubled. Song Jiu's proposal that the court used both kindness and power, which was the real kindness, not the kindness of buying An in the past. The policy of closure was lifted, and the border opened trades and provided transactions. Schools were established. If they were interested, the court also sent people to guide them to farm, take out some money and silk to buy oxen and farm tools. At the same time, with the rise of Yuelu Academy in Zhudong, some schoolhouses were built nearby, and their children were taught to read and read for free. Even friendly tribes sent special personnel to guide them to plant some cash crops and increase their income.

This is the grace side.

On the side of the mighty side, the court added 30th battalion of officers and soldiers to the nearby tribes. If there were any rebels, they would immediately wipe out them. But not only the officers and soldiers went to suppress them, but it was not difficult. There were still mountains and forests, and the officers and soldiers were also far behind. Therefore, some tribes who surrendered were invited to participate. Once the suppression was pacified, the property of the people of the rebel tribe was all the income of these tribes who assisted the officials in suppressing the rebellion. After some money, some wars occurred one after another. However, not many people opposed it, and were promoted by Song Jiu. Now from Tanzhou to Chenzhou, the economy is developing very quickly, and no one wants to sit by and watch the Meishan barbarian continue to harass the local area. But this change also made Song Jiu's plan successful.

When Zhao Chengzong went to Tanzhou, three or four avenues of Meishan tunnel were built, and the barbarians gradually settled down, and the officers and soldiers of the 30th battalion evacuated.

"Speak carefully."

Song Jiu turned his head and looked at Zhao Pu.

In fact, it may not be so difficult to deal with Li Jiqian at this time. Li Jiqian is still young and has not fully grown up.

However, just like everyone does not admit that Li Jiqian will be a monster, it will not admit that Li Jiqian will occupy the entire Xiasui five prefectures, including Lingwu, and even take down the Hexi Corridor in the future, forcing the Song Dynasty to station 300,000 troops on the Shaanxi border for many years. Just like Cao Bin, does he believe it now?

Also, I cannot prove the loyalty of the Zhe family and the Wang family. The facts are not easy to say. The Zhe family and the Wang family are stuck in the corner between the Western Xia and the Khitan. Can they be unfaithful to the Song Dynasty? Especially after the Wang family in Fengzhou was destroyed by the Western Xia, the Zhe family could only hold the Song Dynasty's thighs tighter and tighter. If this was not the case, God knows what he thought?

And this Zhao Pu.

What kind of proposal can be accepted by Zhao Kuangyi? Zhao Pu will not object too much, but it must be effective...
