Many states and counties in Xixia were originally part of the Song Dynasty, but now they have regained their lost territory.
But more places have been occupied by foreigners since the Tang Dynasty. For example, many Hetao areas have long been robbed by the Tubo people.
Later, Xixia rose and Tubo fell, and Xixia wrested it back from Tubo.
In Weizhou, which is less than a day's journey from Hehuang, a large army camp has been set up along the flat areas on both sides of the official road and close to the water source.
At this moment, it was time to cook in pots. The aroma of rice and meat floated in the air, and laughter and laughter could be heard in the camp from time to time.
Tubo, which was powerful for a while, was already on its last legs and was reduced to a weakling that could be bullied by others.
In the previous episode, they teamed up with Xixia and almost made Song Dynasty suffer. Now it's their turn to pay the price.
When Xingqing Prefecture fell, the Tubo people escaped faster than rabbits. Now that the army was approaching, they hurriedly sent people to ask for peace.
The last time Tong Guan scared them, the battle at Hehuang was Tong Guan's highlight moment, and it was also the fear in the heart of the Tubo people.
Yang Lin took the peace petition and sneered. If appeasing Hexi Youyou requires a combination of grace and power, then it is most appropriate for this power to fall on the Tubo people.
First, they are weak, divided, and easy to bully;
Secondly, they still occupy quite a lot of land, and they have enough warriors who must be conquered and taken back for their own use.
Tong Guan now clings to his own victory and does not express his opinion on everything. Anyway, he has a share of the credit.
The remaining important generals of the Western Army also agreed to attack Tubo in order to establish prestige in the newly conquered vast northwest land.
The war was about to break out, but there was no sense of tension. Everyone knew that Tubo had fallen.
More officers and soldiers of the Western Army were no longer thinking about this. They all wanted to go to Bianliang to enjoy the scenery. They practiced day and night near Xingqing Mansion, selecting those who were tall and strong and had excellent equestrian skills, and prepared to go to Bianliang to show off their victory.
Taking advantage of this time, Yang Lin also said goodbye to everyone and traveled around the newly conquered states and counties, saying that he would inspect the farming in each county in late spring.
The generals in the northwest had no doubt that he had it, so Yang Lin took the opportunity to promote and install low-level officials everywhere. By the time Tong Guan realized what he was doing, he had already installed most of the low-level officials in counties and counties.
The appointment and dismissal of officials in the Song Dynasty originally had a set of strict regulations. Yang Lin took advantage of the special characteristics of this place to make a big deal, but no one could rule him.
Jingzhou, in front of the government office.
Yang Lin rubbed his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the open space in the distance with a curse: "Let's build a Taoist temple here, let's call it Chiyang Temple!"
The past two days have been bitterly cold. Qin Qingqing wore a light fur coat sewn from lambskin. She held a fox fur hand stove and handed it to Yang Lin. A strand of blue silk hung down on her chest, and her beautiful eyes were covered with water.
He chuckled and said, "Sheep eating restaurant? The name is too straightforward."
Yang Lin ignored the people around him, slapped him on the buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Chiyangzi is your master's nickname. From now on, you will serve me by my side. You are not allowed to smile. I am the number one scholar and I am familiar with the saints."
Ancient teachings, the most important thing is to be solemn and upright."
Qin Qingqing smiled, but she leaned over and hugged his arm tightly. When Yang Lin reached the place where the mountain was high and far away from the emperor, he completely let himself go. He put his arms around her pink neck and turned around and said: "Freedom of belief is
It is a great benevolent policy, and the people can believe whatever they want to believe. This is the trend that I have brought to the northwest, and I want it to spread throughout Hexi and You!"
The officials behind him were all selected by Yang Lin from local Confucian scholars. The folk customs in the northwest are relatively civilized here. Seeing such a romantic Shangguan in Bianjing, he was not angry but rather kind.
After hearing what Shaozai said, an old official pinched his beard and said: "Shaozai, we can still implement this policy in Jingzhou, but it will be difficult to go to the west."
Yang Lin didn't take it seriously and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Take it slowly and slowly. Sooner or later, the day will come. Even if you shed some blood and kill some people, it is still worth it."
The deep-rooted religious ignorance of the people is the biggest obstacle on the road to Chineseization. Yang Lin knows this very well——
Khitan, Shangjing, inside the imperial palace.
The Khitan people received a secret report from Xiao Baoxian and believed that something was wrong with the Song Dynasty itself, while Xixia was safe and sound.
They did not expect that both the Xixia people and the Song people were ready to give each other a fatal blow.
When the Xixia battle report came, the entire Khitan exploded.
It was the Khitan's national policy to use Xixia to contain the Song Dynasty, and it started when Li Jiqian was in power.
Now that Xixia has been destroyed, the Song Dynasty has no reason to have a vast horse breeding land and a recruitment area for high-quality soldiers.
The Khitan, which had originally been able to stabilize the Song Dynasty, suddenly felt the pressure, but the end was done. Xixia was not defeated, but directly subjugated.
As a result, the relationship between Song and Liao will inevitably change, even if it does not happen in the short term, it will happen sooner or later.
Everyone knows the Song Dynasty’s desire and hatred for the Sixteen States of Yanyun.
Even though Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was obsessed with hunting, living a licentious and extravagant life, and ignoring government affairs, he was still worried about this, and for the first time he summoned the important ministers of Liao to discuss the matter.
The great powers of the time, the Khitan, and the Song Dynasty and Xixia were barely considered one. Now that the Song Dynasty has annexed Xixia, the balance has been broken, and more than 100,000 Western troops who are accustomed to fighting have been liberated. Will the Song people still support the Khitan every year?
The current person in power in the Khitan is actually Xiao Fengxian, Prince of Lanling County, Privy Councilor, and his two sisters are the empress and concubine Yuan.
This old boy is a real treacherous official. He only knows how to coax his brother-in-law, Emperor Tianzuo, to have fun while he controls the Khitan government.
He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Song Dynasty has always been weak and incompetent, and it does not pose the slightest threat to us, Daliao."
"Is what uncle Guo said true?" Yelu Yanxi didn't want to think about these things at all. He dared to believe what others said.
Xiao Fengxian laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty only won Xixia. Compared with us in Liao Dynasty, they are still nothing. I will write a letter of confederation, reprimand them, and ask them to send Princess Anqing back to Khitan."
.If the Song people respectfully return her, it means that the Song Dynasty is still afraid of our Khitans."
Why does it matter if a princess is returned? Most people with any brains don't believe this. Yelu Yanxi clapped her hands and smiled and said: "Okay, Uncle Guo, hurry up and write. Let's see if the emperor of Song is afraid. If he is,
Let him send another Song Dynasty princess to marry him."
A young Khitan official in the hall was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and made a horrifying sound.
Someone gently tugged at the corner of his clothes to signal him to be quiet. The official stomped his feet bitterly and finally did not go out.
After the dynasty dispersed, the junior official said to the older Khitan noble: "Du Tong, the Xiao family is deceiving the emperor and harboring evil intentions. Why don't you let me speak?"
"Why do you, Yelu Dashi, fight with Xiao Fengxian? Are you going out now to die? The more people from our Yelu family die, the happier Xiao Feng will be."
The name of the person speaking was Yelu Yujian, a member of the Daliao clan. The young general opposite him was the later famous Yelu Dashi, the eighth grandson of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, who was just a minor clan official at this time.
The Khitan court is not much better than that of the Song Dynasty. Yelu Yanxi is dozens of times more stupid than Zhao Ji. Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Deli and other sycophants are dozens of times more treacherous than Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng.
The two clans sighed helplessly and continued to endure. The Khitan just sat back and watched the Song Dynasty annex Xixia——
