Chapter 1096 Annei and Joining
When the banquet was approaching, Shao Yu got an opportunity to meet Su Zhongshun, the assistant minister of Dai Guo. "The four major auxiliary ministers of the country in Dai State, Wang Feng is in Pingcheng, Wei Xiong is in Shengle, you are here, where has Changsun Rui been?" Shao Yu asked. "Changsun Rui has been promoted to Yang Zhen (San Gong) and no longer in charge of affairs." Su Zhongshun said, "The one who succeeded him was Dou Qin of the Hedouling clan."
Shao Yu did not quite understand the tendency of the various national tribes in the era, but he knew that both of Mrs. Wang's initial supporters had lost power.
Liu Lugu was sent to Luoyang by a threshold and beheaded in the East City.
Changsun Rui was hung high, rising from the sky and descending from the sky.
It can be seen that under the stable surface of Daiguo, undercurrents surged very fiercely, and from time to time, undercurrents broke through the water surface, splashing a huge splash of water, and then slowly returned to silence, and at this time, a new undercurrent began to brew under the water.
Su Zhongshun saw that the King of Yan was not very clear, so he explained to him.
The system of Tuoba Dai Kingdom has been changing.
As of now, Dai Gong is nominal monarch. Because he is young, the Tai Lady Wang is actually in power.
There are three dukes under Duke Dai - equivalent to the Duke of Wei established by Cao Cao and the Duke of Liang established by Shao Xun.
The Xianbei people called the Three Dukes "Yang Zhen", but there is no specific distinction. Currently, there are Duan Fan and Changsun Rui. I heard that Duan Fan is old and is about to die.
Like the Central Plains, the three commons have a high status, but they have no real power.
Wang Feng, Su Zhongshun, Wei Xiong and Dou Qin are the four ministers to manage the national affairs.
Among the four, Wang Feng represented the Wuhuan forces in Guangning and Daijun who moved westward one after another;
Su Zhongshun represented the Wuhuan forces in Youzhou who moved to the early years;
Wei Xiong was just alone, but he reclaimed land and managed industries in the Yunzhong and Mayi counties, and had two manors. His family still stayed in Daijun, and there were already Liangtu.
Dou Qin represented the old party Hedouling tribe, but because he had a lot of contact with the monarchs and ministers of Daliang and was beaten once, the Hedouling tribe is now relatively honest, and the old party is not as strong as it is, so he began to try to reclaim land on the plump land along the Yellow River in Wuyuan County.
As early as the Tuoba Yilu era, the minister of the Communist Party actually did not have that much power, because the state system was a tribal alliance.
Today, almost thirty years later, the situation has been very different. The population directly controlled by Dai Gong has increased significantly, mainly including the population of various ministries that were disbanded and the population of the two counties of Yunzhong and Mayi successively. There are more than 100,000 people, quite a lot.
So, compared with the Tuoba Yilu era, the four assistant ministers now have a very easy life.
In addition to the auxiliary minister, the guards' personal army carried out reforms.
This is the most urgent thing that Wang has urged in the past two or three years, and it may be related to her strong sense of insecurity in her heart.
The current quota of this army is 12,000. It was originally selected by various departments to join the personal guards, and the government soldiers who were somewhat similar to Daliang took turns to the capital.
There are still people in this group now, but not so many, probably only one-third are left.
In addition, there are household registrations from the imperial court of the State and the remaining soldiers recruited from the Central Plains. The entire pattern highlights a miscellaneous word: there are tribal men and soldiers, soldiers similar to those of the world, and some recruits supported by the imperial court.
The commander of the guards' personal army was no longer the generals of the four towns, but the left and right front and back generals, namely the left general Mo Han (the powerful Han tyrant), the right general Wang Ping (the descendant of the Wang family of Wuhuan), the former general Tuoba Kefu (close to the royal family), and the latter general Qiu Dunju (the leader of the foreign tribe of Shucheng).
It is obvious that Mrs. Wang pays great attention to military power and tries every means to turn the guards into the army of the court, and try to avoid being constrained by the tribe.
In short, the Four Auxiliary Prime Ministers and the Four Generals were core officials of the Imperial Court.
The generals of the four towns are generals of the foreign towns, and they are swaying between the court and local forces.
Liangcheng is a country with a cracked land.
The six counties in Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Mayi, Wuyuan, Shuofang and the newly established Hexi (the northern half of the Beiyi Mountains) are the front part of the mountain, and the back part of the mountain is the jurisdiction of the tribal alliance, mainly nomadic.
This is a dual country that combines the Han system and grassland traditions. There are naturally contradictions, let alone the heroine becomes a country.
Shao Yu also learned from Su Zhongshun's introduction that he had a deep understanding.
I used to only hear about how Tuoba Daiguo was like, but some were true, and some had deviations. Now I am more clear. "It's not easy for Mrs. Wang." After hearing this, he smiled and said, "I think I'm the same as Jia Nanfeng." "I dare not say that." Su Zhongshun smiled bitterly and said, "The Grandma has known all the meaning of Your Highness. The two armies of Yicong and Luoyan should arrive at Qudu of the Mayi River as soon as possible and be prepared to cross the river. The imperial edict should also be brought down as soon as possible. The Grandma belongs to the Duke of Wuyuan County." "Isn't Duke of Wuyuan County Tuoba Yihuai?" Shao Yu asked. "Just change the title." Su Zhongshun's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said.
Shao Yu thought to himself, it was not impossible.
Su Zhongshun felt nervous when he saw Shao Yu thinking, and hurriedly said, "The Grandma has said that even if it is suppressed this time, there will be a big hurdle in the future. Dai Gong is eleven years old. According to the grassland custom, you can marry a wife at the age of thirteen. As Dai Gong is a Dian Gong, it is impossible to marry a daughter of a small tribe. If you marry most of the tribes, the situation will change. After taking charge of the government, he can hold the power legitimately. The reason why these tribes support Dai Gong may not have been waiting for Dai Gong to take charge of the government. This matter is indeed a concern. The Grandma may be able to drag it back, but how long can it be? Fourteen years old, Fifteen years old? It is impossible to drag it back any further. At the latest, it will not exceed fifteen years old..."
Shao Yu nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked, "What if Shi Yijian died?"
"The country was divided into pieces and the heroes competed for the destiny." Su Zhongshun's face changed and he said, "Your Majesty doesn't want to see this scene, right? The best way is to take control. If you let it disperse and attack the border, the court will never have peace, and you will ruin Your Majesty's plan."
Shao Yu heard this, raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if you attack the border? Just fight back."
"If it were so simple, why did Your Majesty destroy the Tuoba Xianbei?" Su Zhongshun smiled bitterly: "One is it difficult to do it, and the other is that the court cannot station heavy troops in the border areas all year round, and it cannot bear it. The support of the three towns of Wuzhou, Gaoliu and Hongcheng is not a small amount. One third depends on self-sufficiency, one third depends on the supply of miscellaneous livestock and food, and one third depends on the taxation of the military city. This is not enough. The court has to give some silk rewards from time to time."
"If it is really chaos, the military city will definitely be gone. Xianbei is People will not provide for the supply, and the land they have cultivated may not be able to be fully harvested. Moreover, the soldiers of these three towns cannot block all the roads to the south. The country has been maintained for so many years, and I don’t know how much money and food has been saved for Your Majesty. "
"It is not difficult to defeat the Hu people, but it is really not easy to control the Hu people. In order to maintain the Dai country, avoid worries and save money and food, I don’t know how much effort he has spent."
Shao Yu listened for a long time and felt that it still makes sense, but he was a little suspicious of Su Zhongshun's position.
He has been in Dai Country for so many years, and has he no longer been working for Daliang so wholeheartedly? People will change. Shao Yu suspected that Su Zhongshun enjoyed his position in Dai State and did not want to become an official in Daliang.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
But he didn't say it out, but kept it silently in his heart.
"Actually, there is something else to come here this time." Shao Yu cleared his throat and said, "In recent years, Murong Wei has been very ambitious. He attacked Goguryeo in the east, and made everyone in the upper and lower worlds frightened. He attacked Yuwen's family in the west, swept across the tribes, and plundered countless people, cattle and sheep. It was just that Daliang's power was shocked and he did not dare to make a rash in Youzhou. But he had to be so ambitious that he had to be vigilant. Your Majesty intends to ask the Tuoba family and Yuwen to join forces to fight against the Murong family."
"The Yuwen family went south many times back then to plunder You. "Su Zhongshun gritted his teeth and said, "My family was deeply hurt by it, and even the tribe members who died in battle could not remember how many of them were killed. Such thieves died just right-"
"This time and another moment." Shao Yu quickly stopped his words and said, "Yuwen's family has been injured by it, and his strength has been greatly reduced, and he will no longer be a disaster. As the saying goes, he has lost his lips and teeth, and he still has to join forces now. Otherwise, you think that the current situation of the country is facing the enemy head-on, but is it the Murong's opponent?"
Su Zhongshun shook his head.
The civil strife has always been an indelible shadow above Tuoba Xianbei's head. It has been so many years since it can't get rid of it. If the Murong clan attacked, to be honest, many tribal leaders would rather surrender to the Murong Xianbei than surrender to Daliang. They just had no choice.
Not giving them a chance to choose!
The Yuwen Xianbei is here, and the Tuoba Xianbei is safe. If the Murong family swallowed up all the tribes and lands of the Yuwen family, it would directly border the Tuoba Xianbei, and the situation would take a sharp turn. He understood this principle, and Mrs. Wang should have understood it too.
Thinking of this, Su Zhongshun immediately said, "I will do my best to make this happen."
"It's not a great effort to make it happen, it must be done." Shao Yu said, "This is the emperor's intention. He doesn't want to have a chaos behind his back when attacking Jin State."
After this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Li Zhenbei has arrived in Youzhou. I will lead troops to fight with Murong."
"What? Your Highness wants to fight?" Su Zhongshun was a little shocked.
"What's wrong with being sixteen years old?" Shao Yu was unhappy when he heard this and said, "I have practiced martial arts for so many years and read military books for so many years. Is it just for people to read or talk?"
He sneered and said, "A real man will die. What are you afraid of?"
Su Zhongshun admired the King of Yan a little.
With such a heroic and brave spirit, just like the emperor when he was young, he was not as cunning as that person - yes, in Su Zhongshun's view, Emperor Liang years ago was "cunning", which is something that many people ignore.
Brave, generous, wise, willing to take it out at critical moments, with a heroic spirit, but it still hides its cruel and cunning side, which is not comparable to this young boy in front of him.
However, the King of Yan is only sixteen years old, who knows what he will become in the future?
After parting with Shao Yu, Su Zhongshun quietly met Wang again and told him all the content of the conversation between them.
Wang thought for a long time and said, "We must first settle the internal situation when fighting the foreign countries, and then talk about it when cooking the internal situation."
The next day, Shao Yu recruited dozens of knights who were good at using large halberds and long spears and excellent riding skills in Liangcheng - one of the standards is that he could easily control a horse with a bare back.
Then he went straight to Youzhou without stopping for more.
Before leaving, we summarized our experiences and sent them to Luoyang.
