(Seeking collection)
Chapter 565
"Your Majesty, my subordinates did not expect that the Xixia Yipin Hall would already reach such a scale. On the contrary, they underestimated Sun Diwei and copied the whole system of the courtyard."
Zhao Da sighed and said: "The Xixia Yipintang is divided into two parts: inner and outer. The inner hall has three yamen, which are responsible for the domestic affairs of Xixia. They investigate civil affairs and supervise the generals and hundreds of officials. The outer hall also has three yamen, responsible for the affairs of other countries.
Intelligence collection, assassinations, bribery, etc. Fu Qinglin is the governor of the First Grade Hall, but the real person in charge is Wei Mingxiao himself."
He paused and said: "Except for the high-level spies, almost all the people planted in the Xingqing Mansion in the courtyard were wiped out by the people from Yipintang. If it weren't for the Iron Wolf line this time, we would have wanted to
It is difficult to create some trouble for Yipintang, and it is even harder to take over Fu Qinglin."
Liu Ling nodded and asked, "Is the Iron Wolf not exposed?"
Zhao Da Dao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if you capture Fu Qinglin's subordinates, you won't meet the Iron Wolf. The Iron Wolf... is the admiral of the Yipintang Hussar. He only needs to reveal the information to his subordinates, grasp Fu Qinglin's whereabouts and
It's not difficult. My subordinates have made a plan. If Wei Mingxiao sends someone to investigate, they will find Li Hunu."
Liu Ling said: "What is the scale of Yipintang? Have you ever found out how many secret spies are in our big country?"
Zhao Da Dao: "The contact with Iron Wolf in the yard was cut off, so we don't know much about Yipintang. After arriving at Xingqing Mansion, my subordinates sent a capable person to contact Iron Wolf and got a list from him.
But the subordinates thought that if everyone in Xixia Yipintang was arrested so suddenly, Wei Mingxiao would be suspicious. The subordinates felt that since they already knew who they were, there was no need to rush to arrest them. On the contrary, they should
You can still make use of it.”
Liu Ling smiled and said: "You have done well, but you have to arrest a few small characters who have no access to the secrets. Weiming Xiaoxiao will rely more on those who have access to the secrets. In this way, we need
Let Wei Mingxiao know, let the people of Yipintang pass it back. If he doesn't need to know, naturally he can't let him know a word. After the Northern Expedition is over, it will be a matter of time to use troops against Xixia. These people keep it
, of great use.”
Zhao Dadao: "My subordinates understand that Yipintang was planned and established by Wei Mingxiao, and it was Sun Diwei who almost copied the appearance of the courtyard. The so-called hussar is actually the Tiqi in the courtyard. The role of the hussar is to protect Yipintang.
The governors and deputy governors, the chiefs of the six yamen. They are also responsible for arresting more dangerous enemies and punishing the traitors of Yipintang. If the connection between the iron wolf line and the courtyard had not been cut off, the matter of Yipintang would not have happened.
So passive. Iron Wolf is in charge of Hussar, and because of his responsibilities, he basically knows everyone in Yipintang. However, Iron Wolf's main responsibility is to help Weiming Weixiao train troops, and Weiming Weixiao has recruited 40,000 new soldiers.
, Iron Wolf is training this new army in Xingqing Mansion. The real manager of the hussar is Iron Wolf’s deputy general Li Shengtu.”
Liu Ling asked: "Wei Mingxiao is recruiting new soldiers? Is it just the 40,000 people in Xingqing Mansion, or is it a large-scale recruitment?"
Zhao Dadao: "In Xingqing Mansion, the Military Division of Baishan Town, the Military Division of Heishui Town, and the Military Division of Heishan Town are all recruiting new soldiers. According to the news sent by Iron Wolf, no less than 150,000 new soldiers will be recruited this time. They are scattered.
Troops were being trained in various military divisions and Xingqing Mansion, but Wei Mingxiao did not say whether these recruits would be sent to the north or deployed on the western front in the future. Therefore, Tielanglang only speculated that Wei Mingxiao was worried about the consequences of the Northern Expedition.
We, the Han Dynasty, took the opportunity to use troops against Xixia, so we expanded our army, and it should be deployed on the western front bordering our Han Dynasty."
"This time, my subordinates went to Xingqing Mansion and killed four of the six yamen chiefs of Yipintang. They also burned the secret room where Yipintang stored information. They also arrested Fu Qinglin, Wei Mingxiao and others in Swan City.
With the help of Iron Wolf, a lot of manpower was lost in the yard. But compared to the results, it was worth it."
Liu Ling nodded slightly and said, "Has all the pension been paid out?"
Zhao Da nodded and said: "When we retreated, my subordinates arranged four groups of suspects, three of which were overtaken by Xixia people. One hundred and thirty-seven people were lost in the yard, and the pensions have been paid according to the highest standards.
. Each person is given fifty taels of gold and one hundred acres of land, like a military household, and is exempt from corvee taxes."
Liu Ling sighed: "The men who have been lost in the yard over the years have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. You send people to keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to harsh the pension of the deceased, there is no need to go through any procedures, just kill him. In addition, in Jin
The state builds a cemetery and buries all the corpses that can be found there, so that their bones cannot be chilled and the hearts of the living should be chilled.”
"I obey my orders."
Zhao Da bowed and said: "This time I went to Xixia and burned all the archives of Yipintang. Without Sun Diwei, Yipintang will not be able to make a difference in a short time. My subordinates feel that it is to destroy the courtyard.
It’s time for the people inside to invade Xixia.”
Liu Lingdao: "You are the person in charge of the courtyard, so you can arrange this matter. Tell me the details of Xingqing Mansion in Xixia. Xingqing Mansion is known as the most fortified city in the world. Is this true?"
Zhao Dadao: "Xingqing Mansion is indeed worthy of a majestic city, much stronger than Jinzhou. The city wall is tall and thick, made of huge stones. The wall is three feet wide and more than ten feet high. Every fifty feet
Mi Xiu had a horse face, an arrow tower, a crossbow chariot, and a wolf fang. Wei Mingxiao summoned 300,000 people to dig a moat 15 feet wide and 4 feet deep outside the city, and diverted water to flow around the city. Xingqing
The eight gates of the mansion all use suspension bridges. If there is a war, the suspension bridge will be raised, and the moat will make it difficult for the soldiers to rush to the bottom of the city. There is a ballista every fifty steps on the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall are also the best in Xixia.
Elite infantry."
Liu Ling frowned slightly, and the outline of a majestic city gradually appeared in his mind.
He came from a later generation, but he did not remember that such an ancient city as described by Zhao Da existed near Xingqing Mansion in later generations. A large city with a radius of thirty miles, with magnificent buildings, could not stop the dust of history in the end. If such a majestic city
If he stays, later generations will have a deeper understanding of Xixia.
Zhao Da continued: "At the beginning of the founding of the Xixia Kingdom, Yelu Xiongji led his troops to fight against Dangxiang's army for several consecutive battles. The famous Dangxiang army lost consecutive battles and retreated all the way from the Qilian Mountains to Xingqing Prefecture. Yelu Xiongji's army
The army besieged the city for a month. In the end, due to lack of food and grass, Wei Mingxiao ceded territory and became a vassal before retreating to the Liao Kingdom. After this battle, Wei Mingxiao ordered the reinforcement of the city defense of Xingqing Mansion, almost thickening the city wall.
times, and the moat was dug, and it took six or seven years to make it as solid as an iron barrel built by Xingqing Mansion."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "That defeat was the worst defeat that Wei Mingxiao had ever suffered since he started to fight. The hundreds of thousands of troops he led were almost completely destroyed by the Khitans, and he himself was seriously injured.
He did not beg for surrender and begged for mercy. It was a great shame and humiliation for him, so Weiming Xiaoxiao had such deep hatred for the Khitan people. Yelu Xiongji took advantage of the opportunity of the Xixia army to conquer the Uighurs and marched in. He robbed thousands of miles of pasture from Xixia in one go.
Hundreds of thousands of herders have been taken away as slaves, and the north of the Qilian Mountains is no longer the territory of Xixia."
Zhao laughed and said: "Wei Ming Xiao Tuo Da. Hundreds of thousands of troops went on an expedition to the Uighurs and were trapped there and could not come back. However, he refused to hold on and instead attacked Yelu Xiongji. At that time, the Khitan wolf cavalry was the most powerful in the world, and the Dangxiang people
Nature cannot be stopped."
Liu Lingdao: "Eating a pit brings wisdom, so Wei Mingxiao built a Xingqing Mansion like a tortoise shell. However, it is precisely because of this...Wei Mingxiao is not as arrogant and arrogant as the rumors say.
"
Zhao Da smiled and said: "Indeed, a person who builds his nest like a turtle shell still has ulterior cowardice in his heart."
Liu Ling nodded and said: "Just send people to keep an eye on the affairs of Xixia. What we need to do now is to get an accurate copy of the Northern Expedition. If you are more busy, it is best to go north in person and contact Xiaochao."
Zhao Da bowed and said: "I obey my orders and rush to the north early tomorrow morning."
Liu Ling waved his hand and said: "There's no need to be in such a hurry. Let's rest for a few days. There are still two months until winter starts, and five months until spring next year. We have to give Yeluxiong time to mobilize his troops."
Zhao Da chuckled and said: "Yelü Xiongji's lifelong battles will also end in battles."
Liu Ling said: "You go back first. I will ask Hua Ling, Luo Fu and others to find you and tell them about Xixia. Especially Maoyuan, who guards Xiazhou and faces Xixia directly. It is not a bad thing to know more about Xixia."
Zhao Da stood up and saluted and said: "I obey, I will retire."
After Zhao Da left, Liu Ling stood up, stretched her body and walked towards the back hall. At this time, Chen Ziyu was helping Liu Ling sort out her clothes in the back. Seeing Liu Ling come in, she bowed politely.
Liu Ling passed his hands from behind and hugged Chen Ziyu's slender waist, and said against her earlobe: "I have worked hard in Jinzhou these days."
Chen Ziyu leaned on Liu Ling's chest, held Liu Ling's big hand with both hands and said, "It's not hard work, I just miss the prince and have some time to spare."
Liu Ling lowered his head and kissed her moist and red cheeks and said, "Don't worry Xian'er, Yuzhu will take care of you. When Jia'er arrived two days ago, she mentioned that the little one has gained a lot of weight and is chubby.
You are so cherished. Once the matter is almost settled, we will go to Hangzhou together after Jia'er comes back. We won't go anywhere this time. We will stay with you in Hangzhou for a few months."
Chen Ziyu turned around, raised his head and looked at Liu Ling and asked, "Does the prince mean what he said?"
Liu Ling smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Chen Ziyu stood up on tiptoes and kissed Liu Ling on the face, then got into Liu Ling's arms and rubbed them. Liu Ling stroked Chen Ziyu's smooth hair and said, "Jia'er's father has been brought back.
, Don’t worry, when I go to the north, I will also bring your father and your family to Dahan from Swan City. Don’t worry, rest assured, I promise you that I won’t let your family get hurt at all.”
Chen Ziyu smiled and nodded, tears wet Liu Ling's front. (To be continued)
