"Hexi must be collected! No matter how hard or difficult it is, even if we have to carry out the feudal system of the Jiedushi in Hexi, as the emperor of the Han people, I cannot ignore the inherent lands of the Han and Tang dynasties!"

The loud shouts of the Emperor Luoyang of the Song Dynasty sounded from the Zhenguan Hall.

Zhao Kai has made a decision, Hexi cannot give up!

How could he give up the land of Hexi? Not only can Hexi not give up, but Anxi and Beiting will have to be brought back sooner or later, and no inch will be left behind... Isn't it just a war? Zhao Kai is not afraid of such a pleasant thing! He drove 100,000 soldiers to the grasslands, swept across the desert, and won the battle, and won the attack, invincible in the world, and made contributions to all directions.

This is worth a time travel!

As for defeating the battle...that is impossible!

Zhao Kai has fried pots, hot pots, casserole cannons... and Yue Fei! How could he defeat the battle?

The only issue to consider now is how to build feudalism after winning!

Since Zhao Kai, the boss, no one raised any objections to the four prime ministers, six ministers, and three governors below... No one can challenge Zhao Kai, the authority of the feudal monarch who "reopened the Song Dynasty" in Luoyang court.

Before he made a decision, he could express his different opinions. Once he made a decision, his ministers could only try every means to help him achieve his goal.

It can be seen from this that Zhao Kai was actually an absolute monarch of "I am the country" at the central level of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the Northern Song Dynasty ruled by Zhao Kai was a great country with very complex internal and external conditions, and it was impossible to use a system to manage all aspects.

Therefore, Zhao Kai was the absolute monarch in the Luoyang court, but it was hard to say when he arrived at the local area.

Zhao Kai's eyes slowly swept across the faces of more than a dozen important officials, and each of them looked like a loyal minister who firmly supported him, an absolute monarch!

Zhao Kai said: "Since only the Jiedushi can pacify the northwest, let's discuss it carefully. We must learn from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and cannot create a Jiedushi like An Lushan."

Lu Yihao, who proposed the feudal theory of the Jiedushi, had long studied the issue of the Anshi Rebellion, so he said the first time: "Officials, I thought Emperor Xuanzong of Tang trusted An Lushan too much, so he asked him to serve as the Jiedushi of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong, and gave him more than 180,000 troops, which eventually led to a disaster.

If An Lushan was always just a military governor in one town, even if he served as the military governor of Fanyang Town, which had the most troops, he would never dare to rebel.

Moreover, An Lushan served in Pinglu and Fanyang for too long. An Lushan was born in Fanyang Army and served as the Pinglu Army envoy who belonged to Fanyang Army in the 28th year of Kaiyuan. In the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang established the Jiedushi in Pinglu and appointed An Lushan as the Jiedushi. From the first year of Tianbao, until the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan rebelled, Pinglu Jiedushi was appointed by An Lushan. From the third year of Tianbao, An Lushan also served as the Jiedushi until the rebellion was launched, and it was eleven or two years later.

It is precisely because An Lushan served as Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedushi for a long time that he developed a power, so he could not lose his head. If An Lushan only served as the Jiedushi in one town and had a different position in another town every few years, An Lushan would probably have to be a loyal minister for the rest of his life.

On these two points, you are very considerate of the official family... The generals are at ease, the court is at ease, and the whole people are attentive. If Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was half wise, how could there be the Anshi Rebellion!"

Zhao Kai trusts military men and values ​​military men, but he will never let them go.

Although he, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others worshipped them and regarded them as brothers, they would never allow them to control an army (more than 10,000 people) for a long time!

Moreover, the generals under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song Dynasty's military soldiers must be rotated regularly, and the military command can be controlled for a long time, that is, their own direct generals.

While not allowing the generals to firmly control the large army, Zhao Kai clearly required generals who were in charge of the military and above to raise 300-500 personal soldiers and a certain number of staff members, and all expenses would be reimbursed by the court.

Moreover, Zhao Kai also allowed these generals to replace a certain number of chief generals, deputy generals, commanders, and team chiefs after taking over the troops. Of course, the officers who were replaced must also have corresponding medals.

Therefore, these senior generals who lead troops will not become bare-legged soldiers just because they are rotated to new troops, but it is difficult to turn the troops they lead into their own private soldiers.

However, this system of managing the army was not thought of by Zhao Kai, the second year of high school, but by Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Huang Wuji, Chen Ji, Li Xiaozhong, and Yue Fei, the brothers who helped him make up.

But Zhao Kai likes to write statutory laws very much, so he turned all the management methods that should be unspoken rules into regulations and laws.

Therefore, Zhao Kai would not let Yue Fei raise more personal soldiers just because he had a special trust in him, nor would he let him serve in one position for a long time.

Therefore, although Yue Fei is more trusted and valued by the government than Yue Fei in history, he will definitely become the magistrate in the future and will also have his own feudal fief.

But he will never become a warlord with 100,000 troops and trembles the Central Plains!

After hearing Lu Yihao's compliments, Zhao Kai laughed a few times, and then turned his eyes to Yue Fei whom he trusted the most: "Pengju, if I order you to govern Hexi, how do you think the feudal system should be carried out in Hexi?"

Yue Fei will definitely become the governor of Hexi. He is so young that he can be the first to be appointed.

However, the Hexi Jiedushi who was appointed as the Minister of Commerce in Yue Fei was not a vassal, but a liberated official.

Yue Fei did not answer immediately, but frowned, as if he was seriously considering it. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Hexi cannot be without feudalism, but it cannot rely entirely on feudalism. The Hexi Jiedu governs the seven states including Liang, Gan, Su, Gua, Sha, Yi, and the West. It starts from Tianshan in the west and ends with the Yellow River in the east, and is more than 2,000 miles east and west. It is probably that far from Luoyang to Guangzhou!

And the population, taxes and outputs on such a large territory may not be as good as a government in the Central Plains. If it is entirely governed by migrant officials and recruited soldiers with sufficient food and salary to protect them, the court will not know how much money it will lose every year! Therefore, it is necessary to enfeoff land and raise soldiers... But how to enfeoff this land? How to raise soldiers? It still needs to be considered in the long term."

After all, Yue Fei was not from the Western Army and didn't know much about the Northwest, so he could only say this for a while.

Zhao Kai nodded, "It is reasonable to say that you must consider how to enthrone the country and raise the people!"

Right Prime Minister Chen Ji took over the topic: "In the past, Hexi Jiedu was commanding 73,000 troops. If this dynasty also set 73,000 troops in Hexi, it would cost several million to recruit all troops a year! And how should so many recruits be rotated? If they were allowed to start a family in Hexi, it would be no different from feudalism."

"It would be better to divide the land from the beginning!" Zhao Kai smiled, "Anyway, the court does not expect taxes from Hexi."

Xiang Ke interrupted, "Brother, if you rely on the vassals to take care of it, I am afraid that the vassals will sooner or later merge with each other, and maybe a second Western thief would be attacked."

Zhao Kai said: "That's right, Kezhi, your family has been a general in the northwest for many years. I have always known the situation in the northwest. Is there any good way?"

"I suggest that the Hexi Jiedushi must directly govern Liangzhou, and at the same time directly govern several generals and useful people... and the useful people who serve in Liangzhou can be converted into government soldiers after serving for several years and leave Liangzhou to be placed elsewhere. In this way, the Hexi Jiedushi can firmly grasp the Liangzhou area and more than 10,000 elite soldiers."

Recruiting troops for too long is a bad policy. If you are old and weak, you will not be beaten, and you will also form a world army group. Once the world army group appears, the head of the court will be bigger.

Therefore, the number of recruits (utilitarian soldiers) deployed in Hexi is not large, with a few generals and a total of ten thousand people. There can be a rotation in a few years, so that they can avoid taking root in Hexi.

Qu Duan, who was born in the Western Army General like Xiang Ke, added: "The local land in Liangzhou does not have to be granted to the soldiers to farm, but recruited farmers from the Central Plains to operate it. All the food obtained was purchased by the Hexi Jiedushi Department for raising troops and storage.

In this way, the Hexi Jiedu will have territory, army, and food... Only in this way can we control the people of the sealed land or the lord of one state and one county."

Zhao Kai asked: "How should the other six states in Hexi be enclosed?"

"You can seal down one layer by one." Lu Yihao said, "When I was in Yanshan Prefecture, I once saw the Jin people's Meng'an Mou restraint... One Meng'an ruled ten Mou curses, one Mou curses two Pucao chariots, and one Pucao chariots governs fifty households. The old minister thinks this method is pretty good. We can first measure the land of the six states and calculate how many finite people can arrange for each state. Then imitate Meng'an Mou curses and divide them layer by layer."

It seems that Lu Yihao's captive has not been in vain, and he has observed it very carefully.

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "You can set up four levels: ten thousand households, thousands of households, hundreds of households, ten households... If you don't set up ten thousand households, I will take care of thousands of households! One state has ten thousand households, and the six prefectures in Hexi are sixty thousand households. The Western Army Generals, the foreign tribes, Qiang tribes in various parts of Shaanxi, and the Hexi foreign tribes, Qiang tribes, and Han tyrants who are willing to surrender to the court can all be enthroned by thousands of households."

As he spoke, he looked at the ministers present and smiled: "Among all relatives and friends, some people are willing to recruit a thousand Ding Zhuang to conquer Hexi, and they can also conquer a thousand households! When I have gathered sixty thousand households, I can conquer Hexi in the west!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Fei found something wrong, "Why does it take a year to collect sixty thousand households? Prepare and train... It's almost time to send troops within two years. By then, will the Western thieves have already captured Anxi?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "It is to ask them to conquer Anxi... They conquer Anxi, and I will regain Hexi. They will conquer Hezhong and I will regain Anxi again. Wouldn't it be great?"

Zhao Kai now has a feudal method, so he can do feudalism well, and maybe he can go all the way to Europe!

It seems good if we cannot colonize the whole world and change it to a feudal world. I don’t know if we can turn the beautiful national commander into the governor of the New World?
