Zhao Bing has been emperor for so many years and has long been familiar with the procedures for sacrificing the tombs. Now he is used to it and has made preparations step by step. The buildings that have been built in a hurry in the mausoleum, including the palaces, are actually all good. Not to mention the quality, they cannot be moved in with the ice and pungent paint smell hanging on the walls.

However, Zhao Bing doesn't need to worry about these issues, he just needs to bathe and fast. On that night, a team quietly left the magistrate area and went to Jiyuan, secretly entering Jin from Taihang Xing. Their mission was to echo He Weixian, seize Shanxi, and detour from the flanks, and cooperate with the middle to seize Dadu.

This time, soldiers were sent to Shanxi. In order to show their importance and respect for He Weixian, Jiang Yu, the right prime minister of the Shangshu Province, was appointed as the commander of the Shangshu Province, and fully managed all matters. Zhao Bing considered that even if He Weixian was an internal support, he still needed elite troops to shock him. He appointed Ni Liang as the deputy to lead the First Brigade, Second Brigade, Artillery Brigade, First Cavalry Division and Auxiliary Forces to enter Jin.

But the consequence is that the troops of the escort are greatly reduced, leaving only the cavalry brigade, baggage regiment, guard battalion, affairs bureau task force and land war 2nd brigade, with less than 20,000 troops. If these troops are more than enough in China, it seems not enough here. After all, they are now in the heart of the Mongolian Yuan, and the army can be wiped out at will, but the scattered soldiers and brave men scattered among the people are still exterminated.

Zhao Bing didn't care much about this, but the ministers who followed him did not dare to take it lightly. Lu Xiufu ordered the surrounding prefectures to send more troops, and Jiang Jin also ordered the Fourth Cavalry Division and the Fifth Cavalry Division to move towards Gongyi and serve as a periphery warning. After Tian Zhong learned about the situation, he also ordered Sun Kai to distribute some of his troops to return to Zhengzhou. Once there was something wrong with the journey, he could provide timely reinforcements.

After sending off the army into Jin, Zhao Bing had to worship the tomb step by step. This was a long and tedious task and could not come even if he was anxious. However, he did not have much spare time to review memorials, handle daily affairs, and discuss military situations with his ministers.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that entering Jin was so smooth. They safely crossed the forty-limit Xingdao and entered Jincheng!" Lu Xiufu looked at the memorial sent back by Jiang Qi and said happily.

"Your Majesty has made plans for a long time, but he has been hiding it from us." Deng Guangjian snorted, "When Tian Zhong's troops recovered Henan and broke into Hebei, everyone was worried that the enemy in Shanxi would attack its flanks from Nansanxing, and even detour to our rear. Only Your Majesty was not worried at all, but just ordered him to move his army forward!"

"It's not that I want to hide it from everyone, but that it's about the secret. If the disclosure is revealed, it will be a success!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and sent a screen to leave the small yellow party and clerks who served in the tent, leaving only Wang De to serve.

"Your Majesty said very much. The one who can control the situation in Shanxi must be the general who holds military power. Once his internal identity is exposed, the losses of our dynasty are incalculable!" Lu Xiufu praised the emperor's cautious behavior.

"This is also a good teacher's teaching. When I was young, my husband often asked him to say: If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body; if the matter is not secret, he will lose his body; if the matter is not secret, he will be a disaster. Therefore, a gentleman is careful and does not come out." Zhao Bing looked at Deng Guangjian and said with a smile.

"Hmph, I still remember it!" Deng Guangjian snorted coldly, but an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, if the war in Shanxi goes well, after the Hebei army is resting and recuperating, we will drive to Dadu and recover the Central Plains, and the horses will be in the west of the horses!" Lu Xiufu stroked his beard and smiled.

"Even if we collect the Central Plains, the Mongol Yuan occupied the grasslands is still the enemy of our dynasty. I am worried that it will grow stronger again and threaten the safety of our dynasty!" Deng Guangjian said worriedly.

"What Deng Xiang said is true. If he cannot capture the Mongol Khan, he can return to the grassland to continue to deal with our dynasty with the advantage of the geographical location. He may make a comeback after he can rest and recuperate!" Lu Xiufu nodded and said.

"After our dynasty occupying the Central Plains and after the Mongol Yuan retreated to the grassland, the war between the two dynasties may continue for more than ten years, but they will no longer be able to do anything and will not be enough to become a confidant. If our dynasty has a strong strategy and the soldiers use their lives, they can bring the grassland under our dynasty's rule, and at least win a hundred years of peace!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"Oh, I'd like to hear it carefully!" Lu Xiufu looked at His Majesty's confidence, looked at Deng Guangjian and said politely.

"We all know that after the Mongol Yuan entered the Central Plains, they always wanted to implement the Han system, but they were not successful. The grassland area still maintained the old system, which became their fatal point..." Zhao Bing did not refuse, but explained to them.

Everyone knows that from the perspective of military confrontation between farming and nomads, modern research shows that the superiority of farming lies in stability. Stability refers not only to the regime, but more to the output of grain. Because farming requires a large number of people to cultivate land, a large number of land and population promotes economic circulation. Only with the economy can science and technology be developed, science and technology promotes the development of military weapons, and the use of different military weapons has driven the evolution of the military system.

Therefore, the military system and combat strength of agricultural civilization are largely based on the output of various materials. The superiority of relative nomadic lies in instability, and its instability also lies in the output of grain. Because nomadic areas do not have enough farming land, they naturally cannot feed a large number of people, resulting in the nomadic peoples' tribal military system that integrates soldiers and civilians during most of their survival.

The military system of unity between soldiers and civilians makes every adult man in the tribe both a soldier and a herdsman, and military units are often calculated based on tribes. There is only one purpose of doing this, that is, more effective "robbery". To achieve the goal of "robbery", only the entire militia system is implemented, because only such a military system can the most effectively complete military mobilization in a harsh living environment.

In this way, the military system and combat strength of nomadic civilization often depend on the size of the tribe, which also shows that nomadic is indeed more aggressive than farming. However, being aggressive alone is not enough. Because high aggression means that each other's tendency to interfere with each other is very high, and they continue to attack each other around these living areas. This backward system was not improved until Genghis Khan unified the grasslands.

If the basis for Qin to unify the world was that Shang Yang's reforms and his "Shang Jun Book" allowed Qin to complete centralization. Then, Genghis Khan used "Da Zasa" to carry out "reforms" on the grassland and completed the centralization of the "grassland version". Genghis Khan's reforms first implemented the Thousand Household System.

The so-called Thousand-House System means that all the people living on the grassland are among the 95 Thousand-House households. Mu Huali and Borshu are the ten thousand households. Then, the Thousand-House households are selected from the relatives of Thousand-House households, hundreds of households, and ten households, and they are incorporated into "Qixue" and become the guards directly commanded by Genghis Khan. This breaks the original tribe pattern.

Of course, in addition to administration, the most important thing about the thousand-household system is to transform the military system. First of all, the source of troops. Through the thousand-household system, the population of the grassland can be included in the thousand-household households, and it also means that the state collects taxes and military service according to households. All registered household registrations must serve in the military as long as they reach the age. So since there is an army, we must consider how to fight next.

The geographical characteristics of the grasslands allow those who live here to survive in a nomadic way. The no farming land has created them to practice horse riding and archery since childhood, which has laid the foundation for future military training. However, due to the constant wars on the grasslands, the army cannot only know how to fight, and in addition to being able to command operations, the Khan himself also needs to issue military orders and military laws.

At the same time, those who violate military orders and military laws will also be punished. For example, before unifying the grasslands, grassland tribes attacked each other in order to privately plunder property. However, after Genghis Khan promulgated the "Great Zasa", it was clearly stipulated that "the property shall not be plundered during wartime, and all spoils that have made contributions after the war are divided equally."

In this way, through war, the Mongols expanded their territory and tribes, expanded the number of household slaves, and managed the plundered slaves. They were divided and ruled through the thousand household system, reducing the connection between household slaves, and better ruling, thereby increasing the overall national strength of their own country. Therefore, Genghis Khan's reform also played a role in ensuring state power and maintaining the continuation of rule.

This also ensured that the Mongolian army successively destroyed the Jin, Western Xia and Southern Song in the east in a series of wars, and to the west, they defeated the Huashuzimo and the vast Russian plains, and even fought to the Danube River, facing Egypt in the southwest, and finally established a huge empire unprecedented in human history.

But Zhao Bing also said that once the Mongol Yuan retreated to the grassland, it would be difficult to revive again. In fact, the reason is very simple: the Mongols retreated back to the tribal era. In fact, most of the Mongols never learned how to farm, and this fatal weakness would be infinitely amplified at this time.

Especially after the re-emergence of the Song Empire, once the Mongols retreated to the north of the Great Wall, the regime still wanted to maintain centralization. However, these Mongols who had not learned how to farm had no way to bring the production technology of agricultural civilization back to the grassland. This centralized system without economic support would definitely not be able to operate.

Therefore, the "ancestral system" pioneered by Genghis Khan lost its effect on the grassland. As a result, the authority of the Great Khan in Mongolia was constantly weakened and he could not control the grassland. The loss of centralization would inevitably lead the original tribes to overstep their authority, conquering each other in order to compete for interests, and civil strife in the grassland began to start civil strife.

Think about how a nomadic country that has lost its authority, fell into a melee, regressed civilization, and lacked resources can compete with a feudal empire that occupies a prosperous place, completes national unity, leads the world, and implements a highly centralized feudal empire. Even if it can achieve local victory in the war, it will be difficult to change the general trend.

Therefore, the victory over the nomadic people is not only a military victory, but also a system victory...
