Chapter 1235 Controlling People and Controlling Situation
In fact, even now, the land and population controlled by Northern Qi should be slightly larger than those in the south.
Excluding Shandong and Henan provinces, the level is about the same.
If he wants to defeat such a behemoth, he must always be prepared for a trapped beast fight. Before he goes crazy, the first thing Shen Yi has to do is to separate Hu Han.
Han people are Han people, and Hu people are Hu people.
Only by separating Hu and Han can it be reasonable and reasonable to drive away Zhu Lizhen in the future, and it will save a lot of effort.
If everyone in the Northern Qi Dynasty is put on the opposite side, even if Shen Yi can preside over the Northern Expedition for a long time, this war will not be completed in three to five years. It may take more than ten years or even longer.
Fortunately, in the past seventy years, there was no unity between Hu and Han in Northern Qi.
In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they can’t.
Several generations of emperors in the Northern Qi Dynasty can be regarded as accomplished emperors, especially the predecessor Yongping Emperor, who can be regarded as a wise emperor.
Several Northern Qi emperors, including Emperor Yongping, were actively promoting the sinicization of Zhenren Zhu Li. This can be seen from the fact that the Northern Qi royal family took the initiative to change the surname to Zhao.
However, up to now, there is still a very clear boundary between the Zhu Li people in the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Han people. Many Zhu Li people are even unwilling to look at the Han people. This is because all Zhu Li people are unwilling to give up their privileges.
The so-called privilege refers to the power that only a small group of people have.
The fewer this group of people are, the greater their privileges.
No real Zhu Li would be willing to merge with the Han people into a real Qi people, because once that happens, their superiority and privileges will cease to exist and will be lost to everyone.
It was Master Zhu Li who created a huge chasm on his own, which gave Shen Yi the opportunity to split the entire Northern Qi Dynasty into two parts without spending too much effort.
In other words, if after Zhenren Zhu Li entered the customs, he would be treated equally with the Han people in the north, and the Northern Qi Dynasty would become a state of Qi. There would be no distinction between Hu and Han, only Qi and Chen. Shen Yi might want to It will take a lifetime to fight against this Northern Qi.
It can even be said that if Zhu Li really did this, there might be no Nanchen by now, the world would be unified, and the dragon energy would return to the north.
On this day, Shen Yi chatted with the two people in charge of Kaifeng City for almost half an hour before letting them leave.
Naxi chose the second path.
The main reason is not because he wants to cooperate with Shen Yi in doing anything, nor because he expects to prosper in the Southern Dynasties, but because he wants to have the opportunity to return to Yandu, and then go back to his home to have a look, so that he can make arrangements for his family. things to cope with possible changes in the future.
After the two decided, Shen Yi sent the two of them to the door, then smiled at Na Xi and said: "General, when you go back, don't forget that you signed a document with me today."
"Do what you have to do."
Shen Yi was not worried that Na Xi would betray him after returning to Yandu.
On the one hand, it is because his son Naduo will stay in the army.
On the other hand, Shen Yi had the evidence that Naxi surrendered and took the initiative to open the gate of Kaifeng. It was too easy to destroy him.
Na Xi lowered his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I can save it."
When Mr. Shen arrived at the door, he stopped and watched the two people leave.
Na Xi and He Ting walked to the front yard of the governor's Yamen. He Futai stopped Na Xi, stepped forward and grabbed Na Xi's sleeve, and said: "General, you can go back to Yandu this time. Thanks to some of my achievements, you have to do some things for me after you go back."
Na Xi stopped and nodded slightly: "It's what you say Futai."
He Ting took a deep breath and said, "First of all, we must do what Shen... Lord Shen said. We must tell the Yandu court that you and I were kidnapped out of the city by Han generals."
"Especially...me, I was kidnapped out of the city by Han generals."
"Otherwise, my family will not be safe."
Naxi nodded slightly: "I will do it."
"Moreover..."
He Ting whispered: "If you have a chance, find my family and tell them that if you have a chance, they can move out of Yandu, go back to your hometown, or come south, but you must leave Yandu."
Na Xi nodded in agreement again.
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Futai, in your opinion, I should..."
He Ting quickly looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was around, he whispered: "Publicizing the rebellion of the Han generals must be publicized, otherwise you and I, and even our family, will not be able to escape the sins committed."
"We must put all the sins of Kaifeng on the Han people!"
"As for Shen...Marquis Shen."
He Ting took a deep breath and whispered: "Anyway, he doesn't ask you to do anything for him, so the general doesn't need to take it to heart. He just thinks of it as leaving a way out for himself."
"Then we'll see how the situation goes before we make a decision."
Na Xi nodded, clasped his fists at He Ting and said, "Futai, Quanzi is a bit stupid. If he stays here, he may say the wrong things or do the wrong things. If you have time, please teach him more."
"Relax."
President He sighed and said softly: "At this time, you and I should naturally take care of each other."
…………
At the door of the study, Shen Yi did not return to the study, but looked at the two people leaving without looking back, and asked calmly: "What do you think of them?"
Xue Wei took a step forward and stood behind Shen Yi. After thinking for a while, he replied: "The general feels that they surrendered because they had no choice but not sincerely returning."
"Mr. Shen will need to be careful to guard against these two people in the future."
Mr. Shen smiled dumbly.
"sincere?"
"Where in the world can there be so much sincerity? Besides, what do I want from their sincerity?"
Master Shen clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Nana Xi will go back and speak ill of the Han generals at all costs in order to protect himself."
"The governor of Henan in Northern Qi was retained by me. In order to save his life and show his loyalty, he would help me with some things. With him as the governor of Henan, it might be much easier for us to attack Henan later."
"You see, as long as I figure out their respective thoughts, I can let them do things for me naturally."
"It doesn't require any sincerity."
Master Shen looked back at Xue Wei and said with a smile: "Of course, if you can really attract people to submit sincerely, then it is naturally the best and most superior way to control people, but it also requires sincere exchange, which is a bit too difficult. "
"My method can only be considered top-notch."
"You should also think more about this aspect in the future. It will be helpful for you in your official career."
Mr. Shen said softly: "After all, there are too many things in this world, and not one navy can handle them all properly."
Xue Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "My subordinates have written it down."
Shen Yi put his hands behind his back and asked again: "How is the reorganization of the Kaifeng garrison going?"
"It has been completely broken up."
Xue Wei lowered his head and said: "But there are too many of them and they dare not mix directly into the army. We are only going to reorganize some of them into the army. There are about seven or eight thousand people, all Han people."
Shen Yi nodded silently and said: "Train hard for a few more days, and then clean up Kaifeng. Then you can lead the troops out of Kaifeng and continue cleaning up other state capitals in Henan."
The current battlefield in Henan looks huge, but in fact, it can only be a secondary battlefield. The real battlefield is always in the north.
The biggest role of the Henan battlefield was to increase the momentum. Even if it could not disperse the troops of the Northern Qi court, it would also consume their people's morale.
Therefore, the war in Henan cannot stop and must continue to put pressure on Yandu.
Xue Wei lowered his head: "I will finally understand."
…………
The next day, Naxi's son Naduo led the remaining soldiers to attack the prison camp and kidnapped his father Naxi from the camp.
But he himself was seriously injured and was left behind by the soldiers of the Huai'an army.
At the same time, General Xue Wei left 10,000 people to garrison Kaifeng. He left Kaifeng City with almost 50,000 soldiers and began to follow General Pei's footsteps to further clean up Henan.
As for Mr. Shen, because there were no civil servants in Kaifeng, he had no choice but to temporarily act as an errand for the prefect of Kaifeng. He handled Kaifeng's political affairs for a few days and stabilized the situation in the city.
And with the return of Naxi Pegasus to Yandu and the constant "fall" in various places in Henan, Northern Qi gradually lost its room for retreat.
They have no way out.
In this case, an earth-shattering decisive battle...
