Chapter 452 Deploying troops to Liaodong, called Jishan Army
When Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong, Zhang Shun and other leaders boarded the seaport near Baozhou City, the bloodstains left by the beheading of 64 murderers at Caishikou in the city had not yet been washed away, but the riot in Baozhou City had already ended.
A paragraph is over.
"Brother Pei Xuan, well done! With you in charge of the military and civil litigation in Baozhou City, Xiao Xiao will be able to hide his evil deeds!"
Before he said a few words after seeing Pei Xuan, Xiao Tang patted him on the shoulder and praised him. Even though Pei Xuan had already raised his sword high and mercilessly chopped down all the criminals under his rule, and killed all the criminals in Baozhou City.
After the riot subsided, Xiao Tang knew that he still had to return to Baozhou to praise and encourage Pei Xuan, in order to explain one thing to the leaders of the tribes and the city:
Whether you are dissatisfied or angry, I fully support all the judicial measures and methods of Kong Mu appointed by me. Pei Xuan will not let go of any lawless person who disrupts the people's livelihood in Baozhou, Pidao and other places.
If you try to take revenge on him because of your hatred, I, Xiao Tang, will not let you go either!
Now Pei Xuan can be regarded as completely establishing his authority in Baozhou and Haizhen under the rule of Xiao Tang. Even if some of them complained and resented, most people still felt a sense of awe for this iron-faced man. In the eyes of everyone before,
Pei Xuan spoke less respectfully, and often drank alone in his spare time. When he was drunk, he would look at the bright moon with his hands behind his back and feel lost, or he would draw out his swords and dance a few times...Those tribes were used to being fierce and reckless.
How could a leader respect Pei Xuan when he saw his behavior? But who could have imagined that Pei Xuan would be so tough, stubborn, violent, and arbitrary when enforcing the law, just like the King of Hell who manages the underworld and judges the good and evil of the dead!
In terms of law enforcement attitude, Xiao Tang also coincided with Pei Xuan. The people did not worry about the scarcity but the inequality, and they did not worry about the poverty but the insecurity. Now that the people of all ethnic groups have a place to live, the next step is to make use of common law.
The interests of the Han people, Khitan people, Bohai people, Xi people and Korean people in Liaodong are tied together. The most important point is stability. Currently, for Baozhou, Pidao and other places, there is only internal consolidation.
People of all ethnic groups are willing to put down roots to live and integrate, so that the foundation laid down by Xiao Tang here can be more stable.
In fact, it was extremely easy for the Central Plains dynasties to make two misunderstandings in dealing with ethnic issues. The first one was that the Celestial Empire should use Confucian culture and kingly rule to educate and educate the barbarians. They were barbaric and uneducated.
Don't argue with them. As the saying goes, benevolent people are invincible and barbarians don't know how to educate. But we are people from the Middle Kingdom, so how can we use violence to fight violence like them? We must use the way of kings, use culture, and use love to influence
They...
The second point is that you put your sense of superiority out in the open. Fanbang, the barbarians and the Tartars are inferior to others. You are arrogant and barbaric, cruel by nature, forced by helplessness and unable to bear humiliation. Since you are guilty of this,
To submit to the Celestial Empire is to bow your head respectfully with your tail between your legs. Before the founding of the Khitan nation, it was precisely because the Tang government could not treat the leaders of the Khitan alliance with courtesy and relied on its own strength to conquer by force.
This provoked the Khitan who originally surrendered to rebel, and repeatedly defeated the Tang army.
No matter which of the above methods is used to deal with it, the stimulating point of ethnic conflicts lies in differences and unfairness. Now Baozhou City has various ethnic groups living together, and the subordinate tribal leaders have considerable autonomy. Although Xiao Tang was unable to eliminate all ethnic groups
The long-standing contradiction between them has been subtle during this period. In the process of combining hardness and softness with an iron fist and gentle methods, what Xiao Tang can do is to treat all races living in the same group equally, and will never be partial because of his identity.
, suppress any party.
When Pei Xuan enforces the law impartially, he will not be affected by emotional intimacy, official position, or racial differences at all. He is the best candidate to unswervingly implement Xiao and Tang's policies.
"Although the Baozhou riot has ended now, the powerful forces in Liaodong are surrounded by the resentful army, the Khitan army, and the Bohai army have recently joined the army. It is still slightly insufficient to control one side with the current strength..."
In the main hall of the Baozhou official office, Xiao Tang pondered and then said: "Hejing Southwest Road has three mountains of troops, and there are still 7,500 men and horses. It is also time to call Xi Sheng. Yuan Lang and other brothers will dispatch men and horses in batches, and then enter
We can plan for the prefectures such as Ding and Xuan on the banks of the Yalu River. We can also retreat to protect Baozhou and overseas military towns. When the troops from the Three Mountains join forces to Baozhou, they will be named "Jishan Army" and can also be used as my army to manage Liaodong.
A powerful team!”
Xu Guanzhong didn't know that Xiao Tang decided on the name of this new army based on the names of the troops commanded by the Five Tigers of Jishan, Ma Tie, Ma Jin, Yuan Lang, Teng Si, and Teng Kan in the original work. He thought that he
The elder brother still named his plan to develop power in the green forest "Water Margin". In order to deceive others, he reorganized Shiliang Mountain, Funiu Mountain, and Xiong'er Mountain under the name of Ji Mountain, which was not far from Jingzhou, a famous city in the late Han Dynasty.
The soldiers and horses of the three strongholds. After hearing this, he thought about it and said: "If there are five or six hundred people in a team, and the troops are dispatched to Mizhou in batches, the local officials will not be alarmed... But
Although there are enough ships carrying soldiers and horses to cross the sea in Mizhou, the current leaders of our navy are only the three men of the Ruan family and the elder brother Zhang Shun. In the future, when we go to Song Dynasty, Liaodong, and Nanjing Road, we will not be able to do anything, and we will only have the manpower.
It’s still not enough.”
Xiao Tang nodded and said: "I also received a letter from Senior Mei Zhan a few days ago, saying that he has recruited some disciples from the old tribe on Liangzhe Road and is now on his way to Wuyi Mountain on Fujian Road. There are many people in Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty.
A hero who is skilled in water-based skills will definitely be able to tell the difference in some time."
Xu Guanzhong heard this and said: "Now Qingzhou magistrate Murong Yanda has sent a letter to Jingdong East Road Military Division, and is about to assemble several army groups to attack Erlong Mountain. My brother is going back to Song Dynasty to take charge of the overall situation. I don't know which brothers I should take with him?"
"
"Now that Baozhou has Mr. Wen, Pei Kongmu, several brothers from Huangmenshan and the heads of various departments in charge of the overall situation, I feel relieved. The three brothers Guanzhong, Xiao Yi and Duan Jingzhu have been with me on my mission to the Liao Kingdom for a long time.
, now you must follow me back to the Song Dynasty..."
As Xiao Tang was talking, he looked at Yan Qing again and said slowly: "I just want Xiao Yi to be tired, so stay here for a little longer."
Yan Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "My brother wants to keep Xiao Yi here, of course, but I don't know what he wants me to do?"
Xiao Tang let out a long sigh and said: "The officers and soldiers of the Liao State are currently suppressing rebellions in various places in Liaodong. I don't know when we will find out that Baozhou City has changed hands... Although most of the leaders of the clans who have joined us are open-minded and straightforward people.
, but I really can’t let go of one person...Xiao Yi, you have the ability to adapt to changes and are good at observing people’s emotions, so I kept you here just to observe that person for a while."
Yan Qing was clever and clever. He immediately guessed who the person Xiao Tang was referring to, and nodded and said: "What my brother said is absolutely true. The son of the Han family who also came to serve in Liaodong, that person is not like Dong Xiuxiu and others."
I am convinced of my brother... As long as he behaves himself, that's all, but if he does anything wrong at all, I will definitely expose his tricks!"
