Chapter 221 Northeast Raiders
"I will choose a new guard for my family these days." Sima Ji waved his hand and asked the two guards to go down. He has been seizing any opportunity to replenish fresh blood. Who made the number of troops in his hands a little far from the number of other royal princes?
Now Sima Jikuang plays the edge ball, and stays in a capitation country and never leaves the town. On the one hand, it is because he is reluctant to leave the capitation country's army. Once the capitation country is out, the army will inevitably be disbanded. Another reason is that several important towns have already famous flowers and the remaining places are not much stronger than Pingzhou. Pingzhou is actually not a real military town. The one he controls is the Dongyi School Office, not the governor of Pingzhou.
The guards recruited by the former king Sima Ji when he was seriously ill have been several years now. Zhang Dalishan and other guards cannot stay in the palace forever. As for the guards replaced by Sima Ji earlier, Sima Ji, who was still the prince at that time, recommended them to the Youzhou Army. Many of the maids who later married were also married to those old guards.
At that time, the environment of the Yan Palace was quite special. Although Sima Ji was the prince, the King of Yan was still seriously ill. He completed the rotation with the seriously ill King of Yan. Who would not care too much about Sima Ji's appearance when he could return to the West at any time. If Sima Ji had become the King of Yan now, he would not dare to blatantly mix sand in Youzhou army. Sima Ji, who was a shield, had passed away.
Now, Sima Ji has begun to prepare to recruit the third group of people and rotate Zhang Dalishan and other groups.
Sima Ji and Yang Xin went to the back hall, and there was nothing to say all the way. The atmosphere was very quiet. Yang Xin stayed in the room. Sima Ji said that he would come when he went. He took back a map shortly after a while. The terrain of the northeast was roughly drawn, and the names of the rivers and mountains were marked with the names of later generations. He said a little self-deprecatingly, "I, a prince, failed so much that I always wanted to let women do things when doing things, but there was really no one in my hands."
"Actually, my husband can recruit some people from the gentry who are unsuccessful!" Yang Xin hesitated for a moment. She could see that although Sima Ji could sit with the gentry and eat and drink, she was always repulsive in her heart.
"This! Let's talk about it later!" Sima Ji didn't want to talk about this issue. Looking back at the history after the Eight Kings Rebellion, there were many Han strategists who served the Hu people. In the eyes of those strategists, Shi Le Liu Yuan was no different from Yuan Shu and Liu Biao during the Three Kingdoms period. Many Han strategists took the initiative to come.
This is not reasonable at all. You should know that before the Jin Dynasty, although the Huns in the Han Dynasty were exhausted, the final winner was still the Han Dynasty. At least the Central Plains dynasty had never been defeated before. These strategists actually took the initiative to join the Hu camp because the gentry had established an invisible ceiling. Under this ceiling, as long as they had no background, talented people would never have a path to ascendance in their entire lives.
The Jin Dynasty's gentry was strong but the population was withered. The feeling of hitting the ceiling when the population was insufficient was very obvious. Japan and South Korea were richer than China, but the average suicide rate was a large part of the increase, which was a clear reaction to the ceiling.
Another example is India. Almost no international students who go abroad will return to China. Those who have the opportunity to go abroad under the Indian caste system must be talents. These people are obviously disappointed with the country if they don’t go back.
In this case, those talented but not born in the country, no matter what court you are, it is more important than anything else to come to the door to help the Hu people to start their own strength and learn. However, talents who are not born in the country are generally in the palaces of major royal families and princes, and they will not be able to find Hu people to learn for the time being.
If the kings were not successful in their future, they would enter the second stage. At that time, they would be Liu Yuanshile, Murong Treasury, and the governors of various states. However, later the Hu people won, and the Han warlords like Wang Jun lost, and the strategists who devoted themselves to the governors, naturally did not leave their names.
Yang Xin asked while looking at the map, and was surprised why Sima Ji had such a sketch in her hand. Although it was very general, as a smart woman, she frowned slightly and looked up at Sima Ji who was fooling the sky, and asked, "Do you want Xin'er to add this sketch in more detail?"
"Well, this is just a terrain map! If he becomes a real map, someone will have to detect it. In fact, this matter itself should not be done by you, but if I am not in the ban country, the goal will be too big." Sima Ji said slowly. It would be good to have this level. This is the foundation left by his junior high school geography representative.
"Xin'er knows the difficulties of her husband and is willing to share her worries." Yang Xin stretched out her bare hands and pinched Sima Ji's hand. Her beautiful eyes were full of solemnity. "Goguryeo will be destroyed, and the tribe in her body should not be difficult to deal with."
It would be fine if he didn't say this. After saying this, Sima Ji said worriedly, "You must not act rashly. Those tribes in the mountains and forests are difficult to deal with. If you can organize households and buy them, don't move troops."
In Sima Ji's view, although the Huns and Turks were powerful, the productivity crushing of the Han and Tang dynasties was still very obvious. Although the Huns and Turks were known as hundreds of thousands of string control men, how many of them were wearing armor and many were fully equipped were unknown. Even if they could pull bows, they were no different from hundreds of thousands of herders.
Therefore, in the eyes of the King of Yan, there were only two and a half, half of the strong army of the Hu people, half of the Liao and Jin dynasties, and the Mongolians and the Eight Banners. These armies are not the Huns and Turks who are known as hundreds of thousands of string control men. They are no longer the forces of the army to draw horses and draw bows. When they appear, they will learn everything they should learn.
Mongolia could steal all the horse farms and heavy cavalry in the Western Xia, Jin Kingdom, and Khwarezm, and only then did it gather enough 150,000 cavalry. The number of people in the Eight Banners of Manchuria was only 55,000. Including the Han army and Mongolia, less than half of the Manchurians were in the Eight Banners.
As for the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners, in fact, except for the late Ming period, the main enemies of the Eight Banners were various Mongolians, Stans, and chieftains. Instead, they had never fought any more wars in the Central Plains, and they could not see the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners in the Central Plains.
When the Eight Banners moved south again, it was already the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period. At that time, there were Nian Army in North China, Hui Army in Northwest, Hui Army in Yunnan and Guizhou, and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Jiangnan. In addition to Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, the Qing court also mobilized Heilongjiang Horse Team and Jilin Horse Team stationed in the northeast to enter the pass. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was calmed down, the Eight Banners were completely scrapped.
"The biggest feature of local tribes is that they have few people. In fact, it is very simple to take over the foreign countries. I just need them to use our words and languages, and you can ignore everything else."
Sima Ji was thinking quietly, but he was still afraid that Yang Xin would meet an opponent like the Hailancha Orc Legion, and used his previous life to tell Yang Xin how to deal with the locals. The biggest feature of Northeast China in the agricultural era was that it was small people, and the number of nomads on the Mongolian Plateau. In history, Northeast China had never had hundreds of thousands of forces with string control men. It was all at the level of Murong Ke and Huang Taiji. This was the biggest benefit.
"We must let them settle down instead of living in the mountains." Yang Xin nodded frequently and kept listening to the men analyzing the local environment. She even had an illusion that Sima Ji must have lived in the local area for a long time, otherwise she would not have known this way.
"First start with small tribes. You can't call them tribes, but they can't be named after their surnames." Sima Ji stood up and recalled while walking on the trail. "Just as I said last time, I find some clues from the Mountain and Sea Classic. It's not difficult to fool these tribes without knowing one of them. These tribes are scattered but may have tribes that are in the same language. After the household registration is established, tribes that are in a different place, or they are separated by tribes that are not in a language. Those with the same customs look for different languages, and those with the same languages look for different beliefs. However, when communicating with us, we must use our language. If we can do this, we can stay in the local area."
"Use small to control the big? All households and people are all involved!" Yang Xin looked at the spirited Sima Ji Summary and said with a secret expression, "If it weren't for my reason, you wouldn't have to hide in the country and throw yourself into a bad situation and dare not go out. This thing itself should have been done."
How tired! Why do I have to do it by others? But this is a bit destructive. King Yan couldn't say it. He squatted down and grabbed Yang Xin's little hand and said affectionately, "This is my own choice. If it weren't for the queen's dynasty, I wouldn't let you enter the mansion without understanding. You should have married a wise matchmaker."
"Husband!" Yang Xin didn't know that the remaining shrimps in Yang were not in Jia Nanfeng's eyes. It was obvious that Sima Ji had a return to his ancestors. He learned Sima Yi's magical art of shrinking the magical arts of being a conspirator. There was a large part of the reason that he was lazy and pushed out a female spoil to work for him.
But now when Yang Xin saw the King of Yan's spirit, she was sure that this was almost love. She was originally a king with talent for government, but now she was so cautious that she felt a little uneasy.
It seems that he still needs to show some talent. King Yan, who knew that the opportunity was inevitable, hugged Yang Xin in his arms, but did not resist. He reached out to pinch the woman's round jaw, looked at her eyes, and Sima Ji kissed her heavily.
The beautiful atmosphere in the room suddenly rose, and both of them felt that their body temperature was rising abnormally. "Close the door!" Sima Ji shouted to the outside with a loud voice, bang..., this is what it means to speak!
"Did you let me take off my clothes by myself?" Yang Xin hugged Sima Ji's neck and said, "Please be merciful, husband!"
