When Li Changjie returned to Shenglong Mansion.
Di Yong's army has already entered Xipingzhou (now northeast of Lang Son, Vietnam).
This place belongs to Zuojiang Road in Yongzhou. Like Yongping Village, it is the place where Cen Ziting garrisoned troops. Guihua Prefecture, Shun'an Prefecture, Xiashi Prefecture and other prefectures all belong to Jisi Prefecture.
This kind of situation is very common in Song Dynasty and on the border.
As the Song army moved in, the local people soon discovered that this was Master Wang. He was clearly the God of Wealth!
This has to be said about the beauty of the 5,000 rotating Forbidden Army soldiers specially mobilized by Zhao Xu from the Forbidden Army in Beijing.
On the one hand, they have participated in many major battles in the northwest and have sufficient experience.
On the other hand, they are all from Bianjing.
What is the biggest characteristic of Bianjing people?
As long as it can be solved with money, it doesn’t matter!
What's even better is that the 300,000 yuan of military pay that came with the army has been allocated in advance.
As a result, the imperial troops from Bianjing rushed into the jurisdiction of these chieftains who were seriously short of copper coins.
The yellow and orange copper coins in their pockets attract everyone's attention.
In the city of Bianjing, the monthly salary of the big-headed soldiers plus rice was just three to five cents, and they could not even support themselves.
When they were guarding the border in the northwest, most of their military pay was received by their family members in the capital.
It was only after they went south that their military pay was truly paid on a monthly basis.
Moreover, everyone has generally gone up a bit.
In today's world, there is a general shortage of money.
The Liao Kingdom in the north, Dangxiang in the northwest, and the Song Dynasty itself were all casting iron coins.
The strength of copper coins is universally recognized.
So, when these big soldiers took their salaries from Bianjing City and ran to this remote mountainous area in Guangxi.
Everyone finds that the money in their hands seems to be very valuable!
Although the homespun cloth woven by the mountain people is not as delicate as silk cloth and its texture is rough, it is cheap!
A piece of fine homespun cloth costs only a hundred yuan!
The big soldiers bought several horses with a smile.
Such a cheap cloth, even if you buy it and sew it into a quilt for your wife at home, it would be great.
What's more, the homespun cloth is just rough, but of high quality!
Use it to make clothes that are durable and wear-resistant.
You can buy a large bucket of fish just caught from the river for about ten copper coins.
There are so many fish, enough for a big man to have a meal.
The labor of mountain people is even cheaper.
A dozen copper coins are enough to hire a young man to work.
Therefore, all the barracks of the Song army were built by hiring people.
The stationed Song troops only needed to guide these people and teach them how to build forts.
And these people are serious.
This is technology!
Whether it is building houses or digging ditches, these are highly sophisticated technologies for these local people.
As long as you learn how to do it, you can build your own house according to Master Wang's method in the future.
And when the simple barracks were built, everyone was convinced when they saw it.
It has to be said that although the imperial troops of the First General Yulong have been trained along the border, their combat effectiveness is not bad. Two of them have even been stationed in Lanzhou and participated in five Lanzhou battles.
They have not lost their ancestral craftsmanship.
The built camp is simple and sturdy but grand and practical.
The beds in the military camp fully consider the needs of waterproofing and warmth.
In addition, Yan Yuan also came to instruct them on disinfection and boiling water and letting it cool before drinking to prevent diseases.
At the same time, Yan Yuan also asked military doctors to find a variety of local herbs and brew them into tea soup to provide the imperial troops and young men with relief from the heat.
This kind of tea brewed with honeysuckle, mangosteen, honeysuckle and tangerine peel picked from the mountains has a miraculous effect in relieving the heat.
It soon became popular among the Song army, and as chieftains from various places arrived with their troops one after another, it spread to the armies of these chieftains.
It has also been passed down that drinking plenty of cold water can prevent diseases. Using quicklime to disinfect the camp can kill miasma.
Here we have to mention the contribution of the military doctors under Yan Yuan.
These military doctors who followed the army south have been actively involved in treating injuries and illnesses in various armies.
They refused to refuse anyone who came, and soon established sufficient authority among the local natives and the chieftain soldiers who came here!
These military doctors may be far inferior to the well-known doctors in Bianjing City in treating difficult and complicated diseases.
But they can treat broken bones, bandage and disinfect.
Especially for things like fractures, this skill was developed by a young and strong labor force of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in Hebei last year, clearing silt and building roads.
This shocked the chieftain soldiers.
Originally, in the eyes of the chieftain soldiers, those who could cure diseases were equivalent to the wizards in the tribe.
And these wizards called military doctors can even help people repair broken legs and hands.
Use plaster, willow branches, and wooden boards to immobilize the injury.
In three to five days, those unlucky ones who would have been disabled slowly began to recover.
What does this look like to the natives?
This is magic!
Every one of them had a look of reverence in their eyes.
The local tribes are eager to provide these military doctors from Bianjing.
Many chieftains even had the idea of marrying off their daughters to win over one or two military doctors so that they could live in Xiping Prefecture.
So, after Zhang Dun had almost settled the matter in Yongzhou, he came to Xipingzhou for inspection.
He was surprised to find that what he had been worried about, that the army's presence would cause chaos in the place, did not happen at all.
For example, when he was visiting Meishan, he encountered an incident where the Imperial Guards couldn't control their crotch, raped local women, and caused riots among the local natives.
It's not that Song Jun changed his temper.
In fact, if you can get something with twenty or thirty copper coins, why use force?
They don’t lack this little money in their pockets either!
Everyone is busy pretending to be rich, pretending to be rich, and enjoying playing the role of a rich man.
Even if someone is stupid enough to do such stupid things as asking for money and force, they will soon be discovered by others, collectively ostracized and isolated.
Seeing this situation, the officers were happy to comply with the soldiers' calls and severely punish these idiots who had embarrassed the Bianjing men.
Therefore, all Zhang Dun saw was the scene of the soldiers and civilians getting along happily.
The locals and the garrison even helped each other.
The Forbidden Army's camp was even more clean and tidy, with no stinky smell or sewage flowing across it as expected.
Hundreds of local natives were busy inside and outside the military camp, collecting all the filth.
At the same time, people set up stoves in the military camp, and carts of coal were transported to the camp.
Boiling cauldrons were boiling pots and pots of boiling water and herbal tea soup to supply military supplies.
Outside the camp, a large number of local women were helping the Song soldiers wash their clothes.
Some Song Army soldiers have been respectfully invited by the locals to teach them composting and farming.
Everything is in order and all you see is harmony.
"General Di, he is indeed a famous general of our dynasty!" After Zhang Dun inspected the camp of the first general Yu Long, he couldn't help but praise Di Yong: "This summary must be presented to the court to ask for credit for the general and soldiers.
!”
Di Yong smiled reservedly and said quickly: "This is all the result of the influence of the emperor's holy virtues, the management of the father-in-law, and the teachings."
In fact, he still doesn't understand why all this is happening?
All I know is that the military discipline of these Qiu Ba marching south can only be said to be good, but after arriving at the local area, the military discipline has almost reached the point where Qiu Ba has no offense.
Simply a miracle!
Zhang Dun smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that the Song army's military discipline was so solemn, he became more confident in winning the next battle in Jiaozhi.
Before setting off, Zhang Dun specially sent people to Luoyang to consult Guo Kui, who led the army to the south, and also consulted Yanda in the capital.
He knew that the Jiaozhi army was far inferior to the Song army in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.
In Guo Kui's eyes, most of the Jiaozhi soldiers were only equivalent to the Xiang Army of the Song Dynasty, and only a few elites could barely compete with the elites of the Song Army.
But those people are too few and too immature.
As long as they are eliminated, the rest will be a mob that can be manipulated at will.
Therefore, the victory or defeat of the war is not actually on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield.
Can the Song Dynasty control the areas it occupies and make the locals surrender?
This is the reason why today's officials pay special attention to the Nong family when it comes to imperial court calculations.
Thinking like this, Zhang Dun asked Su Ziyuan who was following him: "General Su, what's the attitude of Liu Yin, the governor of Jiaozhisi Langzhou?"
"And Zhang Xun, the magistrate of Sumao Prefecture, do you have any reply?"
When a large army fights, the first step is to plan, the second step is to make friends, and the second step is to fight.
After Zhang Dun arrived in Yongzhou, he had been studying things in the north of Jiaozhi.
Just like when he visited Meishan and carefully studied the affairs of the barbarians in Meishan.
So he soon discovered that many people in the northern states of Cochin were old acquaintances of the Song Dynasty.
For example, during the Yuanfeng period, Liu Ji, the father of Liu Yin, the magistrate of Silang Prefecture, constantly requested to be canonized by the Song Dynasty.
The magistrate of Sumao Prefecture also once asked for land to be donated and became the Jisi Prefecture of the Song Dynasty.
In this case, Zhang Dun would of course think of using political means to prompt them to defect.
As soon as he opened his mind, Zhang Dun sent a large number of envoys intensively in the past few days to contact the wealthy families in northern Jiaozhi.
It's not just the Liu family, the Zhang family, and it's definitely not just the military states on the border.
Zhang Dun's envoys even went deep into places such as Cochin and Taiyuan.
In a sentence: The king's army marched south, attacked the unruly ministers, and wiped out the ugly people. If the princes changed sides and dismounted their armor, they surrendered with courtesy, and they did not lose their position as chieftains and their wealthy family.
That is to say, the Yang family in Guangyuan Prefecture had a blood feud with the Nong Zhihui brothers, so it was inconvenient for Zhang Dun to directly offer conditions to induce them to surrender.
Su Ziyuan cupped his hands and replied: "I have informed Mr. Jinglue that the last general met with Liu Yin's son Liu Qi yesterday and said strangely: I have given an order to the Prime Minister, and I am willing to lead Silangzhou to return to the Ming Dynasty and serve as the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
From generation to generation, I will always be a minister of the Song Dynasty!"
"As for Zhang Xun, the magistrate of Su Maozhou in Jiaozhi, it is said that he has also sent envoys to Lianzhou to beg to be a minister of the Song Dynasty."
Zhang Dun listened with a satisfied smile.
Political inducement to surrender is a strategy he believes has a high chance of winning.
After all, the wealthy families in the north of Cochin are dedicated to serving the small court in Thang Long Mansion. What can the small court give these people in return?
However, it was different to surrender to the Song Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty will not only reward them heavily, but also change their past attitude of refusing to canonize them.
Today's emperor is a sage, and he doesn't want to establish counties in the north of Cochin at all.
Therefore, as long as you take the initiative to offer soil to surrender, everyone can be canonized.
Isn't the canonization of Bianjing more valuable than the canonization of Shenglong Mansion?
Even if these people cannot be lured to surrender.
At least it can prompt them to wait and see and sit on the fence in the next war.
Sun Tzu's Art of War said: If you eat the enemy's one bell, you will take ten of your own.
In the same way, reducing the enemy's military strength is equivalent to increasing one's own military strength.
"Good!" Zhang Dun said to Su Ziyuan: "General Su will continue to cooperate as General Hotan."
"Strive to establish contact with the wealthy families in the northern states of Cochin."
"You might as well make more promises with the Cochin people."
"For example, if you can sincerely surrender, the Japanese officials will definitely ask the emperor to choose a lucky place in the north of Jiaozhi, build a royal temple, and give the Buddha's bones and relics to save all living beings."
When Zhang Dun opened Meishan, he promised to build temples and schools for the people of Meishan.
So the Meishan barbarians surrendered and organized households to bring together the people.
The imperial court also fulfilled its promise and built temples and dozens of schools in Meishan.
Meishan cultural context begins with Zhang Dun.
According to Zhang Dun’s understanding and the information he received from various sources, Jiaozhi also worshiped Buddhism.
This is especially true for the wealthy Dongxi clan in the north!
The Song Dynasty may lack other items, but it definitely does not lack Buddha bone relics.
In the Daxiangguo Temple and Kaibao Temple, there are at least several Buddha bone relics left over from the Tang Dynasty enshrined in them.
Please go south and come to Jiaozhou to educate the people and save all sentient beings.
Zhang Dun felt that the Buddha would be happy to agree.
This is a great good deed to spread the Dharma!
"No!" Su Ziyuan and Tian Shiru bowed their hands.
Zhang Dun looked at them and continued: "In addition, we should also make it clear to these people that if they stubbornly resist and help Zhou to do evil, after Wang Shi goes south, his family and territory will be turned into powder!"
