Chapter 1354: Barbarian Policy
Feng Yuanpo raised his head and shouted: "Master, I heard many people say that the world is in turmoil and refugees are everywhere, and that is all nonsense..." As soon as this was said, many officials suddenly felt that Feng Yuanpo was shameless. Everyone knew that most of the sixteen paths of the empire and the two paths in the southeast were already controlled by the Tianmen Dao, and their troops were in full swing. Lei Guheng led the officers and troops to suppress the Tianmen Dao, which consumed huge manpower, material resources and financial resources. The Tianmen Dao in the southeast was not weak, but more and more people joined the Tianmen Dao with great momentum.
In addition to the two southeastern roads, Hebei Road has also been controlled by the Qingtian King. Fuhai Road already has two rebel troops, Blue Wu and Fang Jie. Although its momentum is far inferior to that of the Qingtian King, it is also in trouble in Fuhai. Now the Qingtian King controls Hebei Road and forces Han Santong's remaining troops to retreat into Fuhai Road. Han Santong is already at the end of his strength and has no pressure on the Qingtian King. In this way, after Hebei Road, the Qingtian King's troops will sooner or later occupy Fuhai.
In addition to the Jianghuai River in the southeast, the East China Sea Second Road, the Hebei and Fuhai Second Roads where the Qingtian King were involved, there were also the turmoil in the Sichuan, the Five Empires and the Imperial Orders, which were almost impossible to implement in these five ways. In addition, although no one was talking about the three northwest roads, everyone knew that the court was unable to control the northwest. In this way, half of the sixteen Empires were not under the control of the empire, and half of them were lost.
Feng Yuanpo claimed here that the turmoil in the world was just nonsense, and the officials present, who knew the situation of the empire naturally disagreed.
But the emperor asked with a smile: "Duke Zhongguo, do you think it's all people talking nonsense?"
"Master, the most riot soldiers nowadays are nothing more than the Southeast Tianmen Road and the Hebei Qingtian King." Feng Yuanpo said loudly: "It seems nervous, but in fact it is just a group of mobs. I think that as long as these two bandits are wiped out, the empire will restore peace. General Lei is now confronting Tianmen Road in the southeast. Tianmen monsters and demons are confused. Many unlucky people are deceived by him. Even if they cannot be wiped out for a while, with General Lei's ability, it will definitely prevent the Tianmen Road from spreading."
The emperor asked with a pension: "In the view of Duke Zhongguo, how should I do it?"
"The emperor is planning and has already made a wise plan in his heart. The vulgar views of the ministers can only make a joke. The minister is a rough man. If there is something wrong, I hope the emperor will forgive his sins!"
"You say it, the person who speaks is innocent!"
"Sage, compared with the Tianmen Dao and the Qingtian King, the Tianmen Dao is more powerful and difficult to eliminate. Although the Qingtian King has more than 100,000 troops, I know that most of them are followers of the unlucky people, without any training, and are just a group of locust-like mobs. So I think that the first one to be eliminated is of course the Qingtian King." Feng Yuanpo said loudly: "I originally thought that since Han Santong, the general of Zuo Tun Guard, sent troops to Hebei, he should be able to wipe out the Qingtian King soon, but I didn't expect that it would be the result of the current situation. I think this should be caused by underestimating the enemy." Feng Yuanpo said kidly, "The Qingtian bandits won a few games, and now they are proud and complacent. I think that at this time, it is a good opportunity to send troops to Hebei."
"Of course, what Duke Zhongguo said makes sense." Zhou Ting looked at Feng Yuanpo, "But where did the soldiers come from?"
"I know that some of the Twelve Tunnel Guards are in the southeast. Han Santong has brought some of them, and some of them are used to garrison the capital, so we cannot count on the Twelve Tunnel Guards." Feng Yuan said solemnly: "But Hexi and Liaodong have all the people who serve the country. Hexi Erlang, one inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, and one hundred thousand soldiers. As long as the emperor gives an order, Hexi Erlang will come out in full swing and wipe out the Qingtian bandits."
"100,000 soldiers?" Zhou Ting smiled and said, "Duke Zhongguo, is there actually 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hexi?"
"Zhou Nayan misunderstood." Feng Yuan smiled and said, "The Hexi Imperial Guards and local prefectures combined are only 30,000. What I mean is that as long as the emperor issues an order and recruits soldiers in Hexi, Hexi Erlang will definitely be willing to join the army to serve the country."
"Recruiting soldiers requires money, food, equipment, military pay and horses, where do these come from?" Zhou Ting said: "If you just bring some people into battle, then you will be like the Qingtian bandits, and you will be a group of mobs?"
"Zhou Nayan said very well." Feng Yuan said: "So, recruiting soldiers requires materials and silver. The construction of the Immortal Palace in Hexi costs a lot. It is not easy to really take out the money to recruit soldiers and bravely. However, I think that no matter how difficult it is, as long as you can recruit enough troops and then go south across the Canglan River and enter Hebei, the Liaodong Dians will lead the army to the Fuhai Sea at the same time. Two groups of troops attack the Qingtian bandits. The mobs of the Qingtian bandits will inevitably be difficult to fly. It will not take long to be destroyed. As long as the Qingtian King is wiped out, the army can be transferred to the southeast to support General Lei, and then the Tianmen Road will be wiped out."
An official in his early fifties couldn't help but stand up at this time. This man was the attendant of the Menxia Provincial Department and belonged to Zhou Ting's subordinates. He glanced at the end of the scenes, and said, "Duke Zhongguo, Hexi's troops are not many. Once he goes south to Hebei, how many soldiers should he send? 8,000,000, it is not enough to deal with the Qingtian bandits. Even if he mobilizes half of the troops in Hexi, it will be very difficult. But once Hexi troops go south to Hebei, I wonder if Duke Zhongguo has ever thought about the rear?"
He said it tactfully, but the ministers in the hall immediately understood that the so-called rear refers to the Yi barbarians. Don’t look at the Yi barbarians today. They all look honest and obedient like cats. But no one can guarantee that once Hexi sends troops to Hebei, the Yi barbarians who have no faith will come from the north.
Feng Yuan smiled and said, "You are asking well, for this, I have already thought of a countermeasure."
"Duke Zhongguo seems to have a good idea in his heart." The emperor moved his body, as if he was sitting on this new big gold chair, and felt a little uncomfortable. "If you have any good idea, you can offer it, as long as it is reasonable, I will agree."
The ministers thought to themselves that because of an immortal palace, the emperor seemed to be even more favored by Feng Yuanpo.
Feng Yuanpo turned around and shouted, "Anigus, come and reply to the Lord."
The dozen chiefs behind were obviously never seen such a magnificent palace group. Not only was the size of the palace, but even the details were exquisitely crafted and extremely beautiful. Since following the team into the Immortal Palace, the dozen chiefs looked around and looked full of admiration. Even after fighting in the Laojun Palace for a long time, they were also extremely amazed at the exquisitely carved jade pillar cauldrons around. At this time, when they heard Feng Yuanpo's scream, they had not yet reacted. Until a chief pushed one of them, the man came to his senses, he stepped forward and stood two steps behind Feng Yuanpo, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and was about to salute, Feng Yuanpo had already frowned and said, "Kneel down!"
The chief obviously could understand some of the words of Zhongyuan. He was stunned for a moment, but he still knelt down. He was wearing fur clothes, the hat on his head seemed to be made of sable, and the long sable tail was still dragged behind his head. This outfit was extremely luxurious among the barbarians, but in the eyes of the Qin officials, it was really a bit inappropriate.
Anigus is tall, and Feng Yuanpo is tall among the Qin people, but Anigus is two heads taller than Feng Yuanpo. His beard is like a steel needle, but his skin is extremely white. Fortunately, all the people present are dignitaries, and they have seen the Yi Barbarians. They know that there are many Yi Barbarian tribes on the grasslands in the north. In fact, the races of these tribes may not be the same. Not all the Yi Barbarians are so tall, and their skin colors are different. Some have white skin, some have yellow skin like the Qin people, and even some light black skin. However, in the eyes of the Qin people, all the tribes on the grasslands in the north are people who are transformed from the outside world. They are not educated and are all Yi Barbarians.
"Anigus, chief of the Seajan tribe, pay homage to the Emperor of Qin!" Annigus expressed his respect to the emperor in his half-baked Central Plains words. In his eyes, he seemed to be very interested in the emperor's exquisite and atmospheric dragon robe, and there was no awe in his eyes.
"Anigus?" the emperor smiled softly, "Duke Zhongguo, does he have any good advice?"
Anigus had already said: "We thirteen tribes of Yi Barbarians, I wish the great emperor long live...!" He called himself Yi Barbarians, obviously having an explanation in advance. Although the Qin people called the tribes in the northern grasslands the Yi Barbarians, the Yi Barbarians themselves never called themselves that way. Yi Barbarians were full of contempt. They usually called their tribe names, just like the Siya tribe of Anigus, who all called themselves the Siyas, and were in the court today.
The officials were funny when they listened to the words of Anigus's Central Plains. In front of the barbarians, the people of the Central Plains had a unique sense of superiority. Although Anigus was the chief of a tribe, many officials still showed contempt in their eyes.
"Sage, the Siya tribe of Anigus is the most powerful tribe among the Yiman tribe in the northern grasslands," Feng Yuanpo explained: "The thirteen tribes that came to attend the ceremony this time are very powerful among the Yiman people. Their land area together accounts for half of the northern grasslands and their population is already more than half."
"Oh?" The emperor gently stroked his long beard but did not speak.
Snowflake Empress was originally from a barbarian, so she naturally had a great impression of the barbarians. She said to the emperor: "Master, the clan in which I am a member of the catalog is here today..." pointed to a chief in the crowd, "That is the chief bone unit of our barbarian tribe!"
The emperor looked at the Snowflake Queen, and when she saw the charming and enchanting face, her throat moved slightly and smiled. However, the queen frowned and said lightly: "The harem must not participate in court affairs. Is this rule of not moving?"
The Snowflake Queen was stunned, glanced at the queen with a squinted look, and glanced at her lips.
The emperor looked at the queen and smiled and said, "Empress... Queen, she is also unintentional, don't blame her..." Seeing the queen sitting upright, elegant and luxurious, with a style of a mother-in-law, dignified, but full of mature and plump charm. Under her round chin, her fair neck was slightly raised like a swan, with beautiful curves. Compared with the charming style of the Snowflake Queen, it has a unique temperament, and her throat is even more squirming.
Feng Yuanpo frowned and said loudly: "Master, I will not only want to participate in the entrance ceremony, but also report a great good thing to the emperor!"
The emperor immediately sat upright, coughed, and asked, "What a great thing?"
