When Zhao Zhen said this, Kou Ji had to admit it. He bowed and said with a smile: "On the day when the official inspected Mengxue, after the court was dismissed, Zhu Neng blocked the minister and insisted on helping him get out.

idea.

I couldn't resist him, so I started to give him a few words of advice."

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded.

Lu Yijian and the other three looked as if this was indeed the case.

Lu Yijian stroked his beard and said: "Dali is located in a remote area, and its folk customs are very different from those of the Song Dynasty. If we rashly bring Dali under the rule of the Song Dynasty and use the methods of the Song Dynasty to govern Dali, the people of Dali will definitely resist.

If we leave them alone after capturing Dali, they will harass our Song Dynasty from time to time.

Therefore, this war against Dali is not the key.

The key is how to deal with Dali after it is conquered.

Both Zhong Shiheng's and Li Zhaoliang's methods have flaws.

You can suggest Zhu Neng's method, which is a good one.

Let Dali people govern Dali, and we control everything behind the scenes.

When there is merit, we will take it.

There was a time when Dali people were responsible for it.

All the hatred and contradictions are within the Dali people themselves.

When necessary, we can show some kindness to ease the conflicts in Dali.

When everyone in Dali is eager to attach themselves to the Song Dynasty, we can formally incorporate Dali into the territory of the Song Dynasty without any effort.

The beauty of this move is that we took all the money from Dali without having to bear the stigma."

At this point, Lu Yijian cupped his hands to Zhao Zhen and said: "I agree with the strategy mentioned in Zhu Neng's memorial."

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai followed closely and said, "I also agree with this matter."

The reason why the three Lu Yijians admired Zhu Neng's memorial so much was because the strategies in Zhu Neng's memorial echoed their thoughts very much.

Li Zhaoliang's strategy of grabbing one vote and leaving is a bit like a bandit strategy.

It's usable, but it can't be maintained for a long time.

If too many people rob this place, the people in Dali will remember the Song Dynasty, and the conflict between the Song Dynasty and Dali will be completely difficult to alleviate.

If Dali was united and fought with the Song Dynasty, it would also be a huge trouble for the Song Dynasty.

Although the Song Dynasty had enough strength to beat Dali.

But if everyone in Dali is united and not afraid of death, the Song Dynasty will have to pay a heavy price to completely destroy Dali.

The strategy proposed by Zhong Shiheng was the imperial court's consistent approach to newly conquered lands.

But this method also has certain drawbacks.

That is, when Song laws are used to govern newly conquered areas, there will be many conflicts between the two sides. The local people will be very resistant to the officials sent by the Song Dynasty, and it will be difficult for some of the imperial decrees to be implemented.

More importantly, if the people are treated even slightly unfairly, it will be magnified infinitely, and then rebellion and resistance will occur.

Nowadays, when the imperial court governs Xingqing Mansion, it encounters corresponding problems.

The original local people were very resistant to the management of the officials of the Song Dynasty. Whenever they were treated unfairly, they would get together to make trouble.

Some of the Song people who were the first to defect also made trouble with the local aboriginal people.

When the Song Dynasty was governing the Xingqing Mansion, the government regulations used were very loose.

Compared with Xixia's decrees such as the Immortal Horse that squeezed the people, it is more than a bit better.

However, the local people were still dissatisfied.

The imperial court accordingly made some concessions, but it was not recognized by the original local people.

The original local people continued to cause trouble.

After the report was reported to Bianjing City, Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Lu Yijian and others discussed it for a long time.

In the end, it was decided after discussion that the unruly people in Xingqing Mansion and other places were moved to the places where the two forbidden armies were stationed, and the harsh government orders previously implemented by Xixia were restored to control them.

For a period of ten years.

Those who perform well within ten years and are willing to sincerely become citizens of the Song Dynasty will be moved to the place where Song people live after passing various assessments.

Those who behave badly will be sent to the edge of two deserts to eat sand.

Under this method of control, it won't take many years.

No one in Xingqing Mansion and other places dared to resist the imperial court.

But this method takes a long time.

It takes decades of work.

Some local troops and horses will not be able to move for decades.

It's because I encountered some troubles when digesting Xixia.

So when facing Dali, Lu Yijian and the others naturally took into account the troubles they encountered in Xixia.

If Kou Ji hadn't proposed the method of using Dali people to govern Dali people, they would probably have had to bite the bullet and choose the original method.

But now with Kou Ji's method of using Dali people to govern Dali people, they no longer need to look for trouble.

After Zhao Zhen saw Lu Yijian and three others expressing their approval of the matter, he smiled and said: "Do the three beloved ministers agree with Zhu Neng as handsome?"

Lu Yijian said seriously: "I just agree with Zhu Neng's strategy, but I feel that Zhu Neng is not suitable to go to Dali."

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Does Lu Aiqing think Zhu Neng can't defeat Dali?"

Lu Yijian said frankly: "Zhu Neng is also a veteran general on the battlefield. If he attacks Dali, there should be no surprises. But in governing Dali and how to use troops appropriately, Zhu Neng still lacks."

The way Kou Ji told Zhu Neng was a bit like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.

It requires an excellent grasp of proportion.

We need to force Dali to spend more money, but we can’t force Dali to jump over the wall in a desperate situation.

The calculations involved are very deep.

Zhu Neng may not be able to calculate accurately.

Zhao Zhen heard Lu Yijian's words and pondered without speaking.

At this time, Wang Zeng held up his hands and said: "I think that Zhong Shiheng can take on this important task. Zhong Shiheng previously governed Qingjian City, and his achievements were obvious to both the government and the public.

He is good at conquering and fighting, and he is also able to govern the place.

Whether in military affairs or civil matters, he can grasp the right measures very well.

He is the perfect candidate to conquer Dali."

Zhao Zhen sighed: "I said before that whoever gives the best strategy will be used. Now that Zhu Neng has given the best strategy and I don't use him, I will break my trust in him."

Lu Yijian said calmly: "Guan Jia, the strategy mentioned in Zhu Neng's memorial was not thought up by himself, but with the help of Kou Ji. After careful calculation, this should be Kou Ji's strategy

, not him.

Therefore, if the government does not use him, it is not considered a breach of trust."

Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "After all, it was him who handed over the memorial..."

"Then let the two of them go together."

Kou Ji suddenly spoke.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were all stunned.

After being stunned, Lu Yijian curled his lips and said: "It's just a small Dali. Will sending two important ministers there be a bit of a mobilization of troops?"

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and looked at Kou Ji.

Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng are now ministers of the central committee.

If in the past, the imperial court sent two central ministers to foreign campaigns, no one would say anything.

But now, the Song Dynasty has risen and become the legitimate overlord on earth.

Send two central ministers to deal with a small Dali.

It's really a bit of a stir.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Prime Minister Lu only focused on Dali, but forgot about Jiaozhi. There is also war in Jiaozhi now. If we are not careful, the war will burn to our Song Dynasty. Although Chen Yaozi is in charge of Jiaozhi border, but Chen Yao

Zi has not experienced any major battles so far. If there is any major change in the war in Jiaozhi, he may not be able to cope with it.

Dali is adjacent to Jiaozhi.

By sending Zhong Shiheng and Zhu Neng to Dali together, they could conquer Dali and prevent accidents in the war in Jiaozhi.

If something big happens in Jiaozhi, Zhu Neng can rush over in time to help."

Lu Yijian and the other three looked hesitant when they heard this.
