Chapter 253 Lingzhou tyrants, do you love Song Dynasty?

The old monk Darba's promise is not empty talk, he is the national teacher of the Great Bai Gao Kingdom!

There are countless disciples and disciples who are the national masters, and only a small number of them are "dead" by a fairy. There are also many chanting scriptures in temples in Lingzhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Shizhou, Hongzhou and other places.

The Great Kingdom of Dabai not only regards Buddhism as the only designated country's religious belief, but also is a wealthy society. If it is not a big family, it is usually not a monk. The working people who are not a big family are the targets of exploitation of the feudal lord class! They have all become monks, so who will the feudal lord class in Xixia exploit?

Therefore, in Xixia, being a monk is mostly a concubine who is not brave enough among the noble families. It is not the turn of inheriting the family property, and he has no skills to cut people, so he has to be a monk and practice it in the next life...

Through these disciples of Darba, the conditions for "for life to be exchanged by horses" offered by Zhao Kai can be passed on to the leaders of every Dangxiang clan.

Although the price of "one horse for one life" (one life for two times) is not cheap, it is very fair. Because the leader of these Dangxiang clans can have in the future "Pingxi Prince's Mansion" depends on how many Dangxiang clans are at hand.

It doesn’t matter if there is no horse. As long as you don’t face the military powers in the East Asian Monster Room, when you go to the Western Regions, you are still afraid that you won’t be able to grab the horse?

After Li Qianshun moved westward, how big the territory he could create depends on how many powerful men under his command... Yelu Dashi was so capable in history, but his Western Liao Dynasty could not directly rule too much territory. In the final analysis, the national population was too small.

If he could exchange a good horse in the Western Regions for hundreds of thousands of Khitans, would he be so happy? As long as Qian Shun knows how to settle the accounts, he will definitely not refuse Zhao Kai's offer - if there are not so many horses for the time being, then send troops to grab it!

Thinking that there would be many horses soon, Zhao Kai was in a good mood now, so he immediately promised the old monk Darba a great monk. After that, he turned his eyes to the head of the Lingzhou tribe who was kneeling on the ground and asked with a smile: "Do you guys want to go to Xingqing Mansion to join Li Qianshun? If you want, I will allow you to exchange your horse for your life, so you can go!"

His question scared the Lingzhou nobles present!

They are different from the other states east of the Yellow River, because they just presented Lingzhou City to Zhao Kai... That is Lingzhou! It is the real heart of the Great Bai Gaoguo!

After the heart of Lingzhou returned to the Song Dynasty, the Dabai Gaoguo of Qianshun collapsed to the ground and could not get up... How could Qianshun forgive these Lingzhou rich people who dug up the heart of Dabai Gaoguo? Not to mention the Han people in Lingzhou, Lingzhou Dangxiang did not dare to go to Xingqing Prefecture to hit Qianshun's knife in the knife.

That's Qian Shun who kills his mother, his wife, and his son!

"Officials, we are all Han people. We have been hoping that the royal army can come to rescue Lingzhou for many years. Today, we finally got what we want. How could we go to Xingqing Prefecture to join Qianshun?"

"Yes! Although we cannot be a Song people in our lives, we will definitely be a Song ghost when we die..."

"We only hope to be a Song people forever!"

"Officials, our ancestors have been bullied by Dangxiang for generations, and they hate Dangxiang to the core. I only hope that the heavenly soldiers can cross the Yellow River and attack Xingzhou directly!"

"If the official family wants to directly attack Xingzhou, our Lingzhou Su family is willing to be the leader of the king! Cough cough cough..."

The one who was coughing was an old man wearing a Han Confucian robe but shaved a bald head with a slap in his neck. He seemed to be sick and kept coughing... He didn't wear a mask or something. It was so unpretentious.

However, Zhao Kai still has to encourage this old man... This old man claims to be the Su family of Lingzhou, and he has some background.

Zhao Kai had asked the female class next to him yesterday, knowing that there is indeed a surname among the Lingzhou clans, Su, who is very powerful. However, this family has always regarded themselves as Dangxiang people, and now they call themselves Han people... I don’t know if it is a real Han people who fake Dangxiang, or a real Han people who fake Dangxiang?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai smiled and said to Mr. Su: "Is the old man old? What's his name?"

The old man replied: "The old man is 68 years old this year, and his name is Zhongyi."

"Su Zhongyi," Zhao Kai nodded, "What a good name! Your father gave you this name, I must hope that you can be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, right?"

The old man replied: "My father named his father for loyalty and righteousness, and hoped that Lao Zhu would be loyal to his hometown and love the Song Dynasty. One day he would welcome the royal army of the Song Dynasty to regain Lingzhou City!"

"Oh," Zhao Kai smiled, "How old were you when the King's Army arrived in Lingzhou in the fourth year of Yuanfeng?"

The fourth year of Yuanfeng was 47 years ago. The old man was 68 this year. He should have been 21 years old that year! Seeing that this old man was well-in-armed and not too small, he probably fought against the Song Dynasty soldiers in the army of Queen Mother Liang?

"Old, Lao Zi was still young at that time..." Su Zhongyi felt guilty!

The ancestors of his family were the Xianbei Baluo clan (the Baluo clan changed the surname Su) two days ago, and they were changed to Su Daji's father Su Hu yesterday. 47 years ago, he was still a cavalry in the Western Xia army!

"Is that true?" Zhao Kai smiled, "How old were you back then?"

"Ten, eleven years old!" Su Zhongyi said gritting his teeth.

Old Man Su is 68 years old this year, forty-seven years ago... This little old man is so smart!

Zhao Kai was amused by him and laughed: "I am only eleven years old... I am a little younger. Well, I believe you once. Since you love the Song Dynasty, I will give you the Su clan of Lingzhou to live in Kaifeng Prefecture! Your Su family will settle in Kaifeng Prefecture from now on, and I will give you a piece of land in Kaifeng Prefecture to build a house!"

He was granted a household registration in Kaifeng Prefecture and also built a house with the land in Kaifeng Prefecture!

What a great treatment... If the treatment given to Kaifeng Prefecture before the Xuanhe crisis might only be obtained by the great surrender faction of Darba.

But now Kaifeng Prefecture is all prairie... But the wealthy families here in Lingzhou don't know, so they all cast envious eyes at Mr. Su.

Su Zhongyi was a little troubled, "The official family, Lao Zi has lived in Lingzhou for decades... The children of the clan have no ability to make a living. If they really leave their hometown and go to Kaifeng Prefecture, they are afraid..."

"It's okay," Zhao Kai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Lingzhou is a place for martial arts. The Western thieves do not practice literature. How can you, a large family member of Lingzhou, not know how to raise horses? As long as you are proficient in martial arts or know how to raise horses and grazle horses, you can have a place for martial arts in Kaifeng Prefecture."

What?

Raise horses and grazing?

Do you really want to go to Kaifeng Prefecture?

The heads of the Lingzhou tribes in the hall were a little confused... Of course, their children knew martial arts and could raise horses. In history, Xixia obtained Li Renxiao (the grandson of Cao Mian) and started to carry out the imperial examination system when he was a soldier. Before that, the children of the big clan wanted to seek an official position, either relying on reincarnation or meritoriousness.

To make meritorious contributions, of course you have to practice martial arts and ride horses. Therefore, as long as the children of the big clan are not in poor health, they can do martial arts, raise horses, and release horses... Everyone can understand that they go to Kaifeng Prefecture to serve in the army. But it sounds a bit strange to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to graz.

Is Kaifeng Prefecture a place for grazing?

Zhao Kai glanced in the hall and said to a group of Lingzhou clans with a smile: "You all love the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty also needs you to serve... So I want to take you to Kaifeng Prefecture so that you can arrange an appointment for your sons and nephews! You won't be unwilling to go with me, right?"

Zhao Kai already understands what he meant!

The great tribes in Lingzhou either follow them... to settle down in Kaifeng Prefecture! Or get out of Xingqing Prefecture and see if Li Ganshun spares their lives!

As for why he moved the wealthy families in Lingzhou, the reason was simple - in order to obtain the land in Lingzhou, and to find a group of high-level horses for the Maid Department.

Half of the land in Lingzhou is to be distributed to the Tiance Imperial Tent Army, the Tiance Selected Front Army, the Yulin Cavalry and the Artillery Army soldiers. The other half is to be used to resettle a group of new soldiers guarding Lingzhou and Weizhou.

If these powerful families in Lingzhou are removed, how should we divide the land?

These wealthy families are unwilling to lose their land. They may incite rebellion. How troublesome will be at that time?

So Zhao Kai had to move them all away! Once they left, they could not control the land in Lingzhou. There was no "private land" in Lingzhou, and there was no local owner with a land deed. Those who could occupy the land were all powerful clans. Once they left, they naturally could not control the land in Lingzhou.

Zhao Kai was able to fill all the land in Lingzhou into Yingtiansi and distribute it as needed.

This approach is actually similar to the "mounding system" of the Western Han Dynasty. It is a way to relocate powerful people to control local areas.

Zhao Kai actually used this trick in Shaanxi and Xiangzhou, Hebei. The Han family moved out of Xiangzhou. The ones moved out of Shaanxi were a group of generals and Yingwu families.

However, the Han family was very willing to run away because they were afraid of the Jin soldiers. The generals and Yingwu families in Shaanxi moved out in the form of "transferred seals", and their interests were not damaged, so of course they were willing.

Now, the same method is used in Lingzhou again!

In addition, Zhao Kai will definitely be able to bring back many horses from the northwest this time. Someone has to take care of these horses! Zhao Kai knows how much Ma Wang's herdsmanship is. He will only raise 20,000 to 30,000 horses if he dies. If there are 200,000 to 300,000 horses to be raised, Ma Wang and the people under him will not be able to take care of them.

So he thought of this Lingzhou clan - the great clans of Xixia, who usually have to serve in the military. The children of the large clans must serve as cavalry, and war horses are usually provided by themselves. Therefore, there must be people in these large clans who know how to raise horses, and maybe there are their own horse herds.

All of these have to be taken to Kaifeng Prefecture Grassland!

"We are willing to follow the official family!"

"The official family wants me to go wherever I want me to go, I will go wherever I wait..."

"We are willing to leave Lingzhou..."

How dare the Lingzhou rich people in the Zichen Hall say they are unwilling to do so? They all try hard to pretend to be loyal to follow the dead.

Seeing that the purpose was almost achieved, Zhao Kai nodded with a smile: "Okay! OK! You really love the Song Dynasty... Don't worry, I will not treat you badly!"
