Chapter 903 Drive the tiger to eat the wolf, drive the wolf to feed the tiger
When Ji Yi was working hard to do bad things for the cause of colonialism in the Song Dynasty thousands of miles away, the Central Plains in the north did not feel the arrival of a new era. As the winter solstice was getting closer, the whole family and the Kaifeng Prefecture were busy for the upcoming New Year.
Wu Haogu, the military aircraft of the capital, is no exception. He is even busier than ordinary officials. Because the official Zhao Ji has issued an order to review the model new army in Mutuogang Daying on the eighth day of the first lunar month next year. Now, the military aircraft commander is busy, training, equipment, school grounds, temporary camps, reward standards, and of course the security during the military parade cannot have any problems.
Not only was the Du Junmao Division busy with this, but the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Imperial City Department, and even the Kaifeng Prefecture participated. During this military parade, there was absolutely no trouble.
However, it is not easy to do the military parade well! Because the establishment of the Model New Army was too short, it was only after the Du Junmai Division and several general military computer rooms and military schools that were built up, but it was only after the Ministry of War and Kaifeng Prefecture that recruited soldiers.
The recruitment of soldiers is easy to say, but it can be a headache to do it. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people have gradually lost the awareness of joining the army and fighting. Especially since the dynasty has implemented the recruitment system for more than 100 years, spending money to buy soldiers has long been popular. After five years of military service, the treatment of exemption from labor for life can still be made up for the Sixth Route in the Northwest and Hedong Routes. Because those seven roads have been confronting the Western thieves for a long time, sometimes they have to take into account the Khitan. Therefore, both Baojia and the corvee are very heavy, and the people there are relatively poor, and they don’t have much cash income and cannot afford to pay the exemption of labor, so they can only serve obediently. Being a Baojia and a civilian in the Northwest is often placed at the forefront of the battlefield, and many people who never return to it are there!
So it seems acceptable to be a mansion soldier for life for several years to be exempted from service.
But why are the people in Kaifeng Prefecture willing to join the army for nothing? I remember that Wang Jinggong's implementation of the baojia system in Kaifeng Prefecture caused a lot of trouble, let alone let them join the army.
Fortunately, Wu Haogu was prepared for the military soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture to pay the salary according to the monthly treatment of 2 knots, and also distributed military rations, clothing, etc. according to the standards of the imperial soldiers. Almost one military soldier can earn about 4 knots a month, and there are additional rewards during festivals and holidays, and there are more than 50 knots a year. It is no match for the imperial soldiers.
With such treatment, it is difficult to recruit Kufang households in Kaifeng Prefecture City. However, poor and lower-middle peasants outside Kaifeng Prefecture City are still willing to work. After five years of military service, the cash income alone was 140 or 50 yuan.
With this money, you can buy dozens of acres of land from Kaifeng Prefecture City (also belonging to Kaifeng Prefecture), which is also considered to have a certain economic foundation. It also comes with the right to be exempted for life. You don’t have to pay the exemption money or serve, and you can run your family business wholeheartedly.
Maybe no one wants such a young man in Kaifeng Prefecture (no house), but for the outside of the city, especially the country girls in the remote suburbs...
Because the treatment is OK, it is not difficult to recruit 20,000 new soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture to take care of it. However, during the implementation process, Wu Haogu deeply realized what bureaucracy is.
The parents and officials of Kaifeng Prefecture counties refused to handle the matter and made all kinds of excuses to shirk. Some people even said they were afraid of arousing the civil rebellion. They even had to give 50 yuan a year to get a contract slave labor. They would eat food when they joined the army and didn't even leave Kaifeng Prefecture, and they still wanted civil rebellion?
This is clearly because civil officials dislike Wu Haogu and Du Junji Shi, and they want to give Wu Haogu and Du Junji Shi a little ugly!
However, Wu Haogu was not in a hurry. He would calculate as much as he could. Add the original imperial front room slave soldiers to form a mixed group, and then train them step by step.
As a result, it was autumn, and the total strength of the model new army had just exceeded 10,000! Zhao Ji made a big furious and sent six magistrates under Kaifeng Prefecture to Haizhou for retirement, and finally made the county masters serious.
By November, the quota of 20,000 people was finally recruited. With the original more than 3,000 "House Slave Warriors", a new army of 23,000 people was finally established. However, more than 13,000 of this new army were recruits who had just joined the army. I was afraid that even the queue would not be able to leave well after a few months of training.
In order to deal with the military parade on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the model new army has been busy practicing hard in the camp in Moutuogang these days!
However, Wu Haogu did not care too much about the training of the model new army. In theory, he was the chief aide (the emperor's aide) who assisted the emperor in charge of the dispatch of troops and horses in the world, and was not the chief general of the model new army. He was just a routine matter for the affairs of the model new army, conveying the emperor's orders through the superior and subordinate relationship of the model new army general aircraft.
If he hadn't received Zhao Ji's oral order, he wouldn't have bothered to go to the Moutuogang Military Camp to inspect the training and combat preparations of the model new army... In fact, he didn't have much hope for the model new army.
This is just a force that defends Kaifeng and provides internship opportunities for the students of the infantry school. Yan Yun cannot count on them when the Northern Expedition in Japan.
So Wu Haogu didn't stay in Moutuogang Camp for too long. He looked at the training casually and rushed back in a hurry.
Because there are more important things waiting for him to handle in Kaifeng Prefecture!
The counterattack against the four towns of Anxi is now on the verge of arrows. The Hexi Army, the Great Education Regiment, and Gao Qiu, the Northwest Propaganda and Pacification Envoy, all have to participate. The Dujun Autonomous Commander needs to plan and formulate corresponding strategies for the specific battle. Of course, the Dujun Autonomous Commander will not ask about it.
However, the major military strategy, politics and diplomatic operations are indispensable to the participation of the Dujun Pilot.
After all, this war is a Chinese civil war at a small scale. To put it in a big scale, the two statements of war between the Song Dynasty and the Arab Empire are well-founded!
It is said that it is the Chinese civil war based on the explanation of the "Turkish Dictionary" of the Karakhan Dynasty, which is also the official position of Karakhan! According to the intelligence collected by the Dujun Jishi, the Karakhans regarded China (Qin) as the upper and middle and lower parts. The upper Qin was in the east peach blossom stone, which is now the territory of the Song Dynasty; the middle Qin was the Khitan; the lower Qin was Baerhan (i.e. Kashgar).
In other words, during the Song Dynasty, the Karakhanate believed that they were also part of China, and China divided the world into the Song Dynasty, Khitan, and Karakhan. Moreover, the monarch of the Karakhanate also "buyed" a title of Taohuashi Khan from the Caliphate, thinking that he had two of the world.
It is precisely because of this inappropriate title ban that the Karakhanate and the Arab Empire had a little master-servant relationship. Later, the Seljuk conquest occurred, which made the Karakhanate surrender to the Seljuk... From this perspective, the Karakhanate became part of the Turkic Empire.
In short, the Karakhanate of this era itself regarded itself as part of China. The Arab Empire probably forgot to sell a peach blossom stone Khan. The Seljuk Turks forced the Karakhanate to surrender through invasion and conquest.
Therefore, the war between the Song Dynasty and the Black Khan Uighurs belongs to the war of unity within the Chinese nation and is a national integration! The possible conflict between the Song Dynasty and the Seljuk Empire should be characterized as a just war between the Chinese people against Seljuk imperialism.
After clarifying the relationship, the policy of using troops in the Western Regions is very simple. It is to eliminate the Black Khan Uighur reactionaries who treasoned the country and surrendered to the enemy, and to defeat the Seljuk imperialism invading China!

When Wu Haogu and his group were about to arrive at Xinzheng Gate, it was already dusk. The other city gates in the outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture should be closed by this time. However, Xinzheng Gate is a special existence, because inside this city gate is the Qionglin Palace and a royal palace squeezed in the corner. Not only did there be no civilians entering and leaving, but even officials rarely walked through Xinzheng Gate. Therefore, most of the city gates were closed in the past and rarely opened.
However, later the palace changed its owner. The original owner was King Cai Zhao Si, who was the unlucky King Jian. Because he was the "legitimate" heir to the throne, he was suspicious of Zhao Ji. The palace was also stuffed to the corner of the Qionglin Palace. No one was seen alone, and it was no different from being imprisoned.
So Zhao Si was depressed in the sixth year of Jianzhong Jingguo. Once he died, the royal palace would naturally take it back. However, no other king was willing to go to this unlucky place, so he was stuffed to Wu Haogu by Zhao Ji. Anyway, Wu Haogu went in and out of the Qionglin Palace and was like his own home, so his Dujun Mailman Department would be convenient for him to visit the Cai Prince's Mansion.
Because the Dujunmaster entered the Cai Mansion, the originally deserted Xinzheng Gate became more lively, and many military officers came in and out every day. Sometimes at night, as long as there were important military affairs (in fact, it was the military order issued by Zhao Ji. Now the Dujunmaster is in charge of the drafting, issuing and passing on the drafting, issuing and transmitting of the drafting, issuing and transmitting of the drafting and delivery of the drafting of the Xinzheng Gate that is closely related to the military), the Xinzheng Gate's garrison has to open the door. It has also made almost unhappy about this. Finally, Zhao Ji issued an imperial edict and simply asked the Dujunmaster to send someone to take charge of the Xinzheng Gate.
Now the prison of Xinzheng Sect is a clan brother of Wu Haogu, named Wu Haosheng. He is a few years younger than Wu Haogu. He has no ability. Although he has studied, he can't even pass the trial. He just wins in a reliable way and keeps working with Wu Haogu.
After Wu Haogu got his military service, he also recommended him an official position and placed him as a commemorative officer (equivalent to a commissar), and later asked him to go to the door.
Today, Wu Haogu rode back to the city. When he arrived at Xinzheng Gate, he saw him guarding the door anxiously.
"Tenth brother," Wu Haogu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Wu Haosheng hurried forward, pulled the reins of Wu Haogu's horse under his crotch, and then whispered: "Military aircraft, Northwest Emergency Military Newspaper! It was sent by the General Military Office of the General Office of the Northwest Third Route Propaganda and Fu Envoy of Lingzhou!"
