"Yang Ye is really a commander in chief!" After understanding the process of Yang Ye's entry into Xiazhou, Emperor Liu made a simple but solemn comment in front of important ministers.
His trust and love for Yang Ye was almost undisguised, and the ministers present also understood it. Of course, Emperor Liu's words were also a positive response to the previous criticism of Yang Ye by the DPRK.
Emperor Liu was never good at military strategy, but this did not hinder his understanding of military warfare. After all, he had rich experience in personal expeditions. This time when the troops entered Xiazhou, the imperial court prepared tens of thousands of troops and civilians as well as a large number of war preparations. It can be said that
It's Mount Tai that suppresses the eggs. As some people say, any experienced general who leads the army can conquer the tiny land of Xiazhou. However, the result may be the same, but the process may not be like Yang Ye's.
.
"By the time the troops entered Xiazhou, the officers and soldiers suffered less than 200 injuries before and after. It can be said that the soldiers were killed without bloodshed.
He nodded and followed Emperor Liu's words, approvingly.
"Now that Xiazhou has been conquered, the army will be in trouble!" Wei Renpu also showed his smile and said with a smile.
Of course, Emperor Liu also knew that this was not a purely military issue, and the credit could not be entirely attributed to Yang Ye and other soldiers, so he added: "When we march into Xiazhou, we are actually three-quarters military and seven-cent political. The soldiers are certainly hard-working.
The contributions of those officials who run around in front and behind, divide the party, undermine its fighting spirit, and dissolve its resistance cannot be erased!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Publish the imperial edict to recapture Xiazhou and reward all those who have meritorious service!" Emperor Liu seemed particularly happy. The recovery of Xiazhou made him even more happy than the defeat of Xiadan and the capture of Gansu.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Dou Yi stood up. The old man looked serious and poured cold water on Emperor Liu directly: "The four states of Xia Sui have only recovered Xiazhou. Although Li Guangrui was forced to surrender due to the situation,
How can the Dingnan Army surrender easily?
There are also a large number of party members who have not yet been subdued. I believe that the Xia Sui incident has just begun. If they fail to subdue them, there will be endless troubles. The court is far from the time to reward merits and deal with the aftermath.
That's what matters now..."
Dou Yi's words were honest and honest, but his tone seemed a bit rude. However, everyone present was not surprised by his behavior. This was such a person.
Of course Emperor Liu understands quite well. To summarize what Dou Yi said, your Majesty, don’t be too happy too early!
It was inevitably a bit disappointing, but he was not confused about serious matters, and his tolerance for Dou Yi was very high. The smile on his face faded, Liu Chengyou regained his composure, glanced at Dou Yi, and replied: "Dou Qing is right, the good news is coming."
It’s said that I couldn’t help but feel so happy and so proud!”
"Your Majesty is wise! Please forgive me for any offense caused by my words!" Seeing Emperor Liu's attitude, Dou Yi was also satisfied, bowed and took a seat.
Emperor Liu glanced around and asked: "It has been hundreds of years since the Dangxiang people moved inland to Helong, and the Tuoba Li family has been entrenched in Xia Sui for nearly a hundred years. It is deeply rooted and its influence cannot be underestimated. Although they surrender now, they will not accept it internally. How to deal with the aftermath?"
, How will Xia Sui and Dangxiang people be governed from now on? The imperial court should consider it carefully and act with caution. What suggestions do you have?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing at the moment is to urge the northwest to recover all the four Xia Sui states, resolve the military affairs, control the cities, stabilize the situation, and then discuss the aftermath!" As a privy envoy, from the perspective of military and political affairs! Look, Li Chuyun said directly.
"Yes!" Emperor Liu nodded: "Now that Xiazhou has been conquered, how can the remaining three states resist? We should think ahead to avoid being caught off guard!"
Of the four prefectures in Xia and Sui, three are left. Youzhou has been captured by Cui Han, and the remaining two prefectures of Yin and Sui will never be able to resist on the basis of the surrender of Xiazhou. On the other side of Yinzhou, the governor Li Guangyan is a smart man. , the exchanges with the imperial court have been intensive in recent years. Li Yishun of Suizhou succeeded his brother Li Yiquan, but his butt is not stable, his strength is weaker, and his military is not a concern.
"I have thought about some strategies, please listen to your majesty!" At this time, Li Ye stood up and bowed.
Looking at his brother-in-law, who is about forty years old, his demeanor is becoming more and more extraordinary, and his performance in the court is becoming more and more active. Liu Chengyou waved his sleeves: "Speak!"
"First, follow the example of Guasha and move the Tuoba Li family and the local tycoons from various states to the interior. Aren't they deeply entrenched in the local area and intertwined with each other? Moving them out of Xia Sui is like cutting off the roots of a tree or cutting off the source of water. No longer a nuisance to the court;
Second, promoting more talented officials from the local Han remnants so that they can cooperate with the imperial government can help stabilize the situation;
Third, we should organize the various tribes into households, change their customs, and make them truly people under the rule of the Han Dynasty. Those who are obedient and close to the court can be granted certain official positions."
Li Ye stated the three things he was thinking about one by one, and the palace quickly fell into silence. Everyone seemed to be thinking about his strategy, including Emperor Liu, but they all had reservations about what was revealed in their expressions.
"What do you think?" Liu Chengyou asked.
When asked, it was Wei Renpu who said: "What Li Shangshu said is considered comprehensive, but it is too hasty. If you act in a hurry, you may be afraid of extraneous matters and accidents!"
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Wei, please speak up. If there are any problems with my strategy, please correct me!" After Wei Renpu finished speaking, Li Ye immediately glanced at him and said.
Glancing at Li Ye, who was pretending to be calm, Wei Renpu's attitude remained as gentle as before, and said: "The four states of Xia Sui have not yet completely surrendered, and it will take time for the situation to stabilize. If they move inward rashly, the local tyrants in the party will not accept it, and they are afraid of chaos. After all, Xia Sui is no better than In Guasha, the Dangxiang people have fierce customs and have been in the area for a long time. They cannot be compared to each other, and the handling measures cannot be completely imitated!
The local Han remnants have the same roots as China and can indeed be supported, but they still need to be carefully screened. After all, they are under the rule of the Party members.
As for the establishment of households in all Dangxiang departments and the change of customs, we need to be more cautious. If we do it too hastily, we may cause public indignation among Dangxiang people..."
Wei Renpu's words obviously did not approve of Li Ye's policy, and he almost refuted them point by point. Li Ye couldn't stand it, so he immediately said: "According to the wishes of Prime Minister Wei, if we don't make any changes to the four states of Xia Sui, then there will be no problems." What an accident, then why did the imperial court spend so much money and food to conquer the four states?"
After he finished speaking, Dou Yi spoke up and said directly: "Shang Shu's words are extreme! When the imperial court pacifies Xia Sui, it is natural to bring him under control. However, it should not be done too hastily. It needs to be done slowly and gradually eliminate the influence of Tuoba Li family.
, there should also be a complete set of arrangements for the various party departments..."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye immediately said: "It's just a lie! What should we do? Please ask Prime Minister Dou to specify the specific measures!"
When Li Ye came back, Dou Yi suddenly looked angry and obviously wanted to fight back. Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Emperor Liu patted the table with an abrupt voice that attracted everyone's attention.
Noticing the serious-faced emperor, Dou Yi couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his lips. It's not like he didn't know how to watch his words.
Emperor Liu was not interested in listening to their argument at this time and said: "After Li Guangrui surrendered, he expressed to Yang Ye that he was willing to hand over the military and political power of the Dingnan Army, but he hoped to stay in the local area..."
At this time, Wei Renpu immediately said: "No! The Tuoba Li family and their direct descendants must move inland!"
Obviously, Wei Renpu also agreed with the inward migration, but this migration was targeted. Emperor Liu's attitude was actually the same. He told Li Chuyun: "I ordered Yang Ye to start the migration matter after the four states are under control!"
"yes!"
"As for where the Tuoba Li family will move inland, the Zhengshitang will decide!" Emperor Liu looked at Wei Renpu again: "As for the future governance methods of the four Xia-Sui prefectures and the Dangxiang tribes, the Zhengshitang will also draw up a plan as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Wei Renpu accepted the order.
"Is there any news from Guangxi?" Emperor Liu asked again about Pan Mei's movements.
"The latest situation has not been reported yet. In the name of the Privy Council, should we issue a reminder?" Li Chuyun asked for instructions.
"No need!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and refused without even thinking.
