Every time the front comes to report, the cabinet ministers are discussing the matter collectively. This is considered a confidential but top priority matter for the court at this stage.
In order to show his intention of working together, Zhao Xi has opened the memorial in front of the public several times... Zhao Xi is not particularly sure about some situations ahead.
He believes that one person can think short and others can make mistakes.
The first thing to open was Wang Shao's memorial. It was very good. Zhao Xi was very satisfied. He cooperated with the actions of the pathfinder team ahead and sent troops to Qingtang to attract the attention of all forces in the northwest.
This should be done!
"Prime Minister Fu, it's settled. After you take a look at it, draft an edict! At the same time, when it's time to mobilize the army with great fanfare, do it."
Taking Qingtang should not be too difficult for the new army equipped with firearms. What's more, with Wang Shao's careful management in Hehuang over the years, many Tubo tribes may not return to Qingtang City. Dong Zhan and Gui Zhang
, even if he can be regarded as a lifetime talent, at this level, there is nothing he can do to save himself.
The mobilization of soldiers with great fanfare really flattered him.
The cabinet ministers are very relaxed. For the country, it is a new experience and wonderful for the court to be so relaxed during foreign campaigns.
"Actually, the Qingtang tribe has always been pro-Chinese. If I remember correctly, Dong Xiang still holds the official title of the Song Dynasty. With today's three-level decision-making system, I am afraid he can reach the political level.
"
"For Dong Zhan, perhaps the best option is to include it now."
"It's really possible!"
"He just doesn't look like Neifu, and the tribes under his jurisdiction probably don't want to fight anymore. If he usually herds sheep and collects wool, he can live a good life, so who would be willing to fight."
"The official family, if Dong Fei is attached, the army will be mobilized..."
This is a problem. In fact, for Qingtang, the state can take it at any time, and the garrison troops in Hehuang are enough. The reason for such a large-scale mobilization of troops is to increase the attractiveness of Xixia and Huangtou Huihe
Bring it here to reduce the pressure on the Pathfinder team.
"Whether Dong Xiang annexes has nothing to do with mobilizing troops. Even if Dong Xiang annexes due to internal and external pressure, I still need my consent. Let's tell Wang Shao that Dong Xiang can annex, but he must cooperate with the state to bring this matter to an end.
The play is over."
"In addition, the conditions attached to Dong Zang are that Dong Zang must be allowed to enter the Central Plains, all tribal soldiers must be disarmed, and those tribes loyal to him must disperse to settle down."
Zhao Xi has no idea of raising a tiger for trouble, and he will not hire a bunch of foreign generals like the previous dynasty, and eventually bury himself. Although Zhao Xi does not have extreme nationalism, he does not pay much attention to national identity.
Today, he still needs to handle ethnic issues carefully.
If you want to identify with a court, you need the policies of the state to be in place and to treat the attached tribes well with the so-called national treatment. Under such circumstances, there will be a transition of one or two generations before they can truly integrate into one.
The reason why the Tubo tribes are now able to surrender is still based on interests and the improvement of the quality of life. For thousands of years, the relationship between foreign tribes and the Central Plains dynasty has always been changed according to whether the Central Plains dynasty is strong or not.
As a mixed dynasty, the previous dynasty was ultimately defeated by the renegades of the foreign races.
This is not the future. The sense of national identity is above all else, regardless of race, let alone ethnicity.
The Qingtang matter is not a big deal, it was settled in two or three sentences. Isn’t this a kind of pride? I think back then, the country tried its best to win over Xixia in order to add some help in the fight against Xixia. Now,
Qingtang, who could have made Xixia bow his head alone, was actually not a big deal in the cabinet.
The cabinet ministers were all waiting to see the report from the Pathfinder team, which was what needed attention, but they found that the officials were stunned when they saw the report.
"They are right, all sins are attributed to me!"
If he had known that this was the case, he might as well have screened the report. But now, it was like this, and there was no other way. Besides, from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Xi still wanted to change the country's understanding of this issue.
This time I suppressed it forcefully, and I will do the same next time, slowly letting the ministers know that I, the king, have a firm attitude on this issue.
"There is nothing wrong with the pathfinder team. The order was given by me, and I will be responsible for whatever I do. You ministers can take a look, but this matter ends here. I don't want there to be chaotic discussions in the court. Moreover, in
Regarding the connection and control of this passage, all such matters shall be handled according to my wishes!"
The report has not yet been put down by the officials, and the cabinet ministers are still confused. But looking at the official's serious expression, the cabinet members also know that it is not a trivial matter.
First it was Fu Bi, and then all the cabinet ministers read the report in order...
No one spoke up because the officials directly set the tone for this matter.
In fact, it is sheer nonsense to say that the civil servants of the dynasty are truly compassionate and compassionate, thinking that all living beings are equal... When civil servants kill people, they are more cruel than military generals.
Especially in the early dynasties, when civil servants killed their own soldiers, they showed no compassion at all.
Even in the time of the late emperor, the civil servants who commanded the army killed soldiers at will.
The reason why the indiscriminate killing of military generals is regarded as the crime of impeachment of military generals is that in the final analysis, it is just the way and means of restricting and suppressing military generals.
Now that the status of military generals in the country has just been improved, Zhao Xi is very worried that there will be another trend of civil and military fighting in the court. So he set the tone first... I, Zhao Xi, ordered this to be done, not only
It’s just this time, it will be the same if this happens in the future!
"Official family······"
"Prime Minister, I have said that this is my imperial order, and they are not wrong! Prime Minister, there is no need to say more!"
Zhao Xi was a little annoyed. Fu Bi is the Prime Minister. The reason why he is the Prime Minister is because of his trust in him and his tacit cooperation for many years. He did not expect Fu Bi to speak out at this time.
"No, the officials and veterans thought that they could recruit servants in the westward march."
Regarding this attitude, Fu Bi would naturally not object to the officials. Even if he was in a situation like Pathfinder, he would make such a decision. It should be said that anyone who truly considers the country and the dynasty, knows military affairs, and understands
All military ministers will make such decisions.
"Servant army? Prime Minister Fu, maybe after forming a pincer attack strategy on Xixia, we can recruit servant troops when attacking Xixia from Hexi. But now, when it comes to penetrating and controlling the troop transportation channel, forget about the servant army."
Seeing Fu Bi say this, Zhao Xi softened his tone.
At this time, he needs to settle the matter with absolute authority and not allow any noise. As for Fu Bi's intention, this is a strategic category. As long as the Pathfinder team is not held responsible for indiscriminate killing, everything else can be discussed.
