Chapter 164 Fan Riding (Part 2)

Wang Ju hugged Li Gou: "Uncle Dog, stop beating. If they don't do this, what if Xixia takes revenge?"

Wang Ju was not talking about it. A tragedy will happen this winter. The Song Dynasty built a Weirong Fort to the west of the Deshun Army, but there was a fort called Tongjia Fort twenty miles west of the Weirong Fort, called Tongjia Fort. It was a land fort built by the Qiang people themselves. It had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty had no intention of entering. Li Liangzuo heard the news from somewhere, and had a misunderstanding that Tongjia Fort was invaded by the Song army. He sent many troops to kill thousands of households in the Tongjia Fort area and plundered tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

The Qiang people in Tongjiabao were killed so hard that they were also stupid. This was a disaster. In anger, they sent people to contact the Song army. Our people had not been killed yet, and many people escaped by chance. Now let's take the people to the Song Dynasty with them.

Then accept it.

However, there were many great vs. Public wise mentors in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Shu was helpless and took out the cadastral maps and checked. He found out whether this same family fort was the territory of our Song Dynasty. So he sent Wang Wuji to the area to announce the order and comforted him, but he did not accept the land.

What a great opportunity, I missed it again.

However, the geographical location of the fort is not important. If other meanings are not considered, it doesn’t matter if it is not accepted.

Moreover, passionate people like Wang Ju will face many problems in the future. Not to mention this year, even if the Battle of Dashun City begins next year, Sima Guang and other public intellectuals will still shout that peace is the most important thing.

There is no cure.

After this persuasion, Li Gou calmed down and said, "That cannot be named wild insects, at least a wild dragon."

"I will ask the people in the village to change when I go back." said the wild insect Meesheng.

This time, Zhang Yu and Yao Yi finally realized that Li Gou was not only a former general of Xixia, but his prestige among the Yeli clan was extraordinary. Look at this little insect, he was beaten like this, and he was like a pug, following Li Gou. Looking at Li Gou, he was beaten up, and he was like a dog, and he didn't care about it at all. So who was this Li Gou in Xixia before?

Li Gou was a little impatient and asked, "Why are you still following me?"

"That, that."

"How many accounts are there in your village?"

"There are more than sixty entries, and there are more people in them, about five or six entries, but in Anhua County, there seem to be two more in Huanzhou."

"So there are still many tribe members over there."

"Well, they don't want to migrate if they can survive. After all, there are risks when migrating here. Especially last year, the little emperor crazily killed and plundered the border Shufan. The tribesmen there were afraid of being retaliated, and no one dared to come."

This problem is a headache. Li Gou cannot figure it out. Maybe Wang Ju can come up with a solution, but he cannot ask on this occasion. Li Gou said: "You go back and notify these tribes, and you will say that I am back and you want to form a foreign cavalry camp. The treatment will not be bad. If they are interested, please send strong young people to my account."

"That's good."

"Okay, why don't you go back and notify me."

"Yes," the wild worm Mee Sheng ran away quickly.

"Uncle dog, it's awesome."

"What awesome, you're old, a hero won't mention his courage back then." Li Gou said.

"Instructor Li, your status is not low there, right?" Zhang Yu asked tentatively.

"It's just a general with great strength and ability to fight, so some people in the army admired me at that time."

This is also a saying that the foreigners are martial, and many people admire the warriors. The Dangxiang people were a little better, especially the Tieler people of the Tang Dynasty, confronted Xue Rengui in Tianshan in the northeast of Youzhou, and then sent nine warriors. You said that Xue Rengui could fight, and he had the ability to fight our warriors one by one. Xue Rengui came out on a horse, but before the people arrived, the arrow killed the famous warriors. The remaining six warriors saw that the situation was not good, so they fled. When Tieler people saw that it was not good, they were defeated by one of the nine picks, so let's run away, and they ended up losing.

Therefore, Zhang Yu turned around and asked Wang Ju: "Do you want to build a foreign cavalry?"

Hu Qian was worried and excited, and did not pay attention. Zhang Yu heard it clearly on the side. The Fanluo Army was also a cavalry, but there were not many horses, called cavalry, but they were actually mixed military branches of infantry and cavalry. As for the cavalry in the Song Dynasty, the two of them could only play a horse. Wang Ju said that Fanluo, not Fanluo, was definitely a standard cavalry battalion.

“I have this idea.”

"Where is the horse?"

"Let's see then." Wang Ju said.

After dinner, Li Gou found Wang Ju: "Da Lang."

"Uncle Dog, your name is really a bit messy."

"Then let's go to Magistrate Wang, over the mountain..."

"Why, when I saw your subordinates back then, my heart was hooked again?"

Li Gou was happy.

"Uncle Dog, how high is your prestige in the Yeli tribe? How many people can listen to you?"

"The puppy was my soldier back then, so it must be different from others, but I think many of the other tribes can listen to my advice."

"How many Yeli people are there on the other side of the mountain?"

"How could I know about this, but I think it's much less than before," Li Gou's eyes were gloomy. This is the strange population problem of Xixia.

No one can tell how many people there are in Xixia. Some people say 400,000 or 500,000 households, some people say 700,000 or 800, and a few people say nearly 10,000 households. How many soldiers there are in Xixia are also a mystery, some people say 100,000, and some people say 500,000.

Once when Wang Ju asked Li Gou, Li Gou was not clear about it. After all, he was a powerful general under Yeli Yuqi, but he was not the main general. However, Li Gou thought that 700,000 or 800,000 households were more reliable. As for the soldiers, the permanent troops of Xixia were only more than 100,000 people, some were stationed in Hetao, some were stationed in Juyanhai, some were stationed in Hexi Corridor, and various areas of the border of the Song Dynasty. In addition, there was a permanent army at the foot of Helan Mountain outside Xingqing Prefecture. However, Xixia was a military service system. Once the war came, everyone would have soldiers, so it could be said to be 500,000 troops.

Li Gou's intelligence was slightly wrong. In fact, after he fled to the Song Dynasty, because Xixia and Liao were in conflict with each other, he had to increase his troops in Hetao and Juyanhai. Now there are much more permanent troops than when Li Gou was in the past, and there are also redundant soldiers.

The other is the problem of population growth. Xixia has been fighting for years, and the population growth is slow, and sometimes negative growth occurs. If the living environment is harsh and military affairs are encountered, the size of this tribe will become smaller and smaller.

This is true for the Yeli tribe. At its peak, when Li Yuanhao married Queen Yeli, the Yeli brothers also controlled the power of the Western Xia, and the Yeli tribe also controlled many places with abundant water and grass. Therefore, the population expanded rapidly, reaching tens of thousands of households.

This is also the reason why Zhong Shiheng achieved success in counter-espionage.

The Yeli brothers had great power. Even though Yeli Wangrong died, Yeli Yuqi still held many military and national powers in the Western Xia Dynasty. What was even more fatal was that Yeli Yuqi and had a powerful clan member. This made Li Yuanhao afraid.

There is also Brother Ning Ling. Li Yuanhao could not imagine what happened later. He still wanted to support Brother Ning Ling as his heir at that time, but the family was powerful, which made Li Yuanhao very dislike. Moreover, the Xianbei people had the habit of killing the queen.

As a result, Zhong Shiheng's counter-espionage plan succeeded.

It was at that time that Li Gou fled to the Song Dynasty.

Later, he didn't know what happened to the Yeli tribe, but he could guess without asking. If Xixia was willing to suppress it, the population of the Yeli tribe would inevitably decline rapidly, and its size would definitely be far inferior to that of the past.

"I'll find a way, but you can't hurry this."

"Thank you, Dalang."

"No need to thank you, please invite Inspection Yao."

After a while, Li Gou called Yao Yi.

Wang Ju said: "You have heard what I said just now. I want to form a Fan camp, and it is a real Fan cavalry camp, with more than four people, and there may be ** people."

"Minister Wang, there are not so many horses."

"This is why I called you. I have a law that cannot be made public, otherwise I will become the target of public criticism. But if this law is successful, it will not only bring 1,200 horses, but also tens of thousands of chunks of income, which will be used to improve the armor in the hands of soldiers, and also to stimulate soldiers' training and improve their lives."

"One thousand two thousand horses?" Yao Yi immediately became interested.

He is not the owner of Liyuan Fortress, I just need to manage Liyuan Fortress, which will make Huachi County live and die. But he is not doing inspections in Qingzhou City, so he has to take charge of the entire military affairs of Huanqing. There are many people in Huanqing's military affairs, Sun Changqing, Zhang Yu, Zhong Diagnosis, and Wang Zhaoming, it is not his turn. Therefore, "sent" to Liyuan Fortress is actually mainly responsible for the military affairs of Huachi County.

When Huachi County’s military affairs were done well, he would have made contributions.

No matter if one thousand or two thousand horses are not horses, they are cavalry. If it is true as Wang Ju said, an additional foreign cavalry with as many as ** people can be formed, the military strength of the entire Huachi County will be further improved, and perhaps it will be a military achievement because of this.

But he was very clear-headed and immediately said like Li Gou: "That would cost a lot of money."

Don’t look at what Wang Ju said about pigs and sheep. It will only cost 10,000 yuan to provide it for a year. If those two families have money, they can support it.

But how much does it cost to have more than a thousand horses?

Not only that, Wang Ju's thoughts were even greater. The Song Dynasty established the Fan Army, which was barely considered a cavalry, but the treatment was poor and the equipment was even worse.

This is the strange policy of the Song Dynasty. I want to take advantage of the bravery of the foreign people, but I am afraid that the foreign people will grow and threaten the security of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I clearly have a powerful foreign army and foreign militia in my hands, but I cannot use it well.

It’s not because of the Song Dynasty that made An Lushan scared. Not only An Lushan, but also Dangxiang people. Dangxiang people not only rebelled. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty took it in. Only then did they escape from Tubo’s oppression, but rebellion occurred one after another in the Tang Dynasty. Also, Nong Zhigao from the south.

Therefore, many scholars and officials hold the idea that their hearts will be different if they are not of my race.

Only a few are consistent with Wang Ju's idea. Prevention is not a long-term solution. The best way is to integrate, integrate, integrate, integrate, integrate economic and commercial, integrate language and language. And there are good examples, the ethnic integration of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

But it is easy to say and difficult to do it. It is very difficult to integrate economical language and characters. However, ethnic issues are always a problem that makes everyone feel bad.

Wang Ju now has no right to speak on national issues. However, although he, like many scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty, had a slightly narrow view of the nation, he was definitely much more enlightened than these scholars and officials.

At least he was rejected by Xixia, but he would not reject the Dangxiang people living in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Wang Ju said: "Not only a horse, but also a qualified armor and weapons."

"Can it be the kind of armor that day?" Li Gou asked from the side.

"It may be that, including the saber, it must also be required to be no less than the knife in the hands of General Manager Zhang."

Now Li Gou couldn't help but suck. Could it be that he sold the Zhu family and the Li family together?

"Don't be careful." Wang Ju said suddenly.
