Chapter 746 Differential Treatment (Thanks to the leader Cai Shuning today
This was not something that was accomplished overnight.
People always have some illusions, and Zhao Xi did not expect that Xingqing Mansion would be completely defeated in the current situation.
In fact, at this point in the war, Xixia's strength has not suffered much loss, or it can be said that it is just a strain on its muscles and bones, not to the point of dying.
The strategic intention of the Song Dynasty was to suppress all sides and bloom in the center. In fact, the only ones that the Chinese and Korean armies really annihilated were the Xixia garrison in the Hexi Corridor and the Weifu Army Division in Heishan and the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town. In terms of battle losses,
, less than 30% of Xixia.
This is also the basis for Xixia people to dare to have delusions...but they are not cruel!
If it weren't for the discord within Xingqing Mansion, I'm afraid Xingqing Mansion wouldn't even propose peace now.
It is better to chase the poor bandits bravely than to become a famous academic overlord... Zhao Xi suddenly remembered this poem and wrote it on the desk solemnly...
"Official..."
The cabinet went to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss how to deal with Xixia in the end. How to treat the royal family, nobles, cavalry, and herdsmen differently.
As soon as they entered the door, the cabinet members saw the words written by the officials on the desk.
The meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand. The officials are trying to change their original intentions.
If we simply annihilate Xixia, with the current combat power of our country, there is really no need to spend so much effort. The reason for such a plan, to put it bluntly, is to completely destroy Xixia and not make the mistakes of the late emperor again.
The party members traveled north to the desert in order to seek market prospects.
If we only need to capture Fuxingqing and Yinxia, we only need to send a large army. They can crush them all the way and be invincible.
In addition, after all, they are all disciples of saints, so they cannot make the decision to kill millions of Dangxiang people, nor can they make the decision to directly destroy the entire Dangxiang ethnic group.
Therefore, the imperial court made a grand plan to send the partial army to the west and send five armies to surround the Xingqing Mansion area.
The original agreement was to use force to force the Western Xia royal family and nobles to surrender unconditionally, and the entire Dangxiang ethnic group to be resettled by the state, not to kill them.
In Zhao Xi's concept, there is no difference between Dangxiang people and Han people, or in other words, his understanding of the country is better than his understanding of race.
Later generations pay attention to humanitarianism, while the dynasty pays attention to royal principles. In a certain sense, they are all consistent, that is, they cannot commit genocide.
You can go to any lengths to fight the war. If the two sides really negotiate, they will really take humanitarianism seriously.
In addition, there is another more important reason. I believe that the Northern Liao, Dali, and Annan, including the Huangtou Uighurs and Xizhou Uighurs are all watching the war between the Song and Xia Dynasties. How to deal with the Xixia royal family and nobles will have a great impact on the future.
The unification of Kyushu and Jin Ou had a great influence.
Guochao has the ability to exterminate Dangxiang. Under the current situation of large-scale siege, Guochao's army can easily crush it. But, what will happen in the future? Northern Liao, Uighur, and Uyghur know that they will not compromise with Guochao.
With so much room left, what choice will you make?
The combat power of the country is due to the well-trained soldiers, but the real advantage is the chariot. The biggest disadvantage of the chariot is its speed... The packhorse chariot is still unable to compete with the cavalry.
speed compared.
To put it bluntly, how to deal with party members, that is, just show-offs, is something that should be shown to others.
Therefore, when the cabinet proposed the royal strategy, Zhao Xi also approved it. But these two verses...are they going to be extinct?
"Oh, gentlemen are here..."
"The official has another excellent work? This poem is majestic..."
Anyone can understand the murderous intention in the official poetry. Wang Anshi praised the poem and hoped that it was just a poem and not the official mentality.
"Xingqing Mansion cannot understand the situation and does not understand the court's painstaking efforts. I just express my feelings... Since it is a decision, I will not overturn it. However, in the end, there is no pain or fear.
, it hasn’t been beaten enough to wake up Xingqing Mansion.”
In fact, Zhao Xi did express his feelings because in this situation, Xixia Xingqing Mansion still had illusions... Sometimes it really can't be merciful.
"Officials, regarding the principles for the placement of the royal family, nobles, soldiers and herdsmen, the cabinet has discussed and has preliminary intentions..."
Fu Bi had been silent since he saw the official's poem. He was supposed to report to the official to ask the cabinet to agree on the resettlement principles, but Fu Bi did not speak. He had already sensed the official's dissatisfaction. Of course, this was not a violation of the official's policy.
The dissatisfaction of the cabinet is not the dissatisfaction of the party members.
Therefore, I am afraid that the officials have no time to discuss the placement of party members now.
Wang Anshi could also feel the murderous intention of the officials, but he believed that the officials were true to their words and would not change the previous order. Moreover, many of his ideas for the resettlement of Xixia were mostly his suggestions. Therefore, seeing Fu Bi
Without saying a word, he invited me.
"Let's put it aside for now..."
"Official family······"
"Old Wangge, please be patient. I don't want to change my original intention and let the army in front do the killing. However, the court still takes it for granted, thinking that the Xingqing Mansion will learn from the past events of Qingtang Tubo. Under the overall situation
, will choose to compromise.”
"In fact, the two are different. Although Qingtang Tubo is a force, it is better to say it is a tribe. They have no differences, or the differences are very small. The entire top Tibetans still have to consider them to a certain extent.
All the people of the tribe live and die."
"But Xixia is different. Xixia's system determines that there are entanglements among their top leaders, which leads to the issue of the size of the interests pursued by various forces even in compromises."
"Due to the different offensives and different fighting intensities of the various armies in the early stage, the various forces in Xixia suffered different losses and had different demands."
"Strength determines the right to speak. Judging from the situation of the envoys dispatched by Xingqing Mansion, it is estimated that those forces with relatively small losses have occupied the right to speak in Xingqing Mansion, and they have illusions."
Zhao Xi feels that this should be almost the current situation within the Xingqing Mansion. The tribes whose combat power has been severely damaged hope that the war will end here. Otherwise, whether the Xixia retains or surrenders to the Song Dynasty, their interests will be further compressed.
And those who have suffered little loss in combat strength think they still have combat strength... After all, Xingqing and Yinxia are still deep enough for the Xixia people to move around, and the intensity of the battle at the front has been reduced in recent times.
This also fueled their arrogance.
"What is the official will...?"
"Treat them differently. Let the front line calculate the battle losses of each Xixia military division in the early battle. For Xixia military divisions that suffered serious early battle losses, the intensity of the battle will be reduced, and the army must be restrained when advancing; while those that encountered not serious early battle losses will
The military commander or forces ordered the soldiers at the front not to take any chances."
