Chapter 374: Fighting the Landlords First?

A camp military controversy is underway in the Imperial City of Shuntian Prefecture, Beijing.

In addition to Xiang Ke, the general manager of the camp, Wu Lin, the army, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, the deputy commander of the North and South Army, Huang Wuji and He Ji, there were also the new Beijing Jilu Yingtian envoy Liu Ziyu, Beijing Jilu Pacifier Liu Yan, Hebei Road Yingtian envoy Ma Kuo, Hebei Road Pacifier He Yu, Datong Road Pacifier Zhang Xiaochun, Datong Road Pacifier Zhang Jun, Beizhenfu Envoy Wang Xiaode (the Luoyang Town Pacifier is now renamed Nanzhenfu Envoy), Hanlin Bachelor's College's Order Chen Dong, and some Hanlin Bachelor's Bachelor's Order who are responsible for recording and drafting.

Although Zhao Kai seemed to have obtained Li Zicheng's script, his ruling group is much more sophisticated and cruel than a group of bandits who have risen for a few years. Moreover, his Mansion Group is also more feudal, and has formed a system that relies on military merits and is rooted in the land.

Therefore, Zhao Kai Group, who entered Beijing City, did not care much about floating wealth, but instead focused on the land that could generate long-term profits and was also conducive to taking root.

To seize land, of course, the first thing to do is to establish a local government and suppress the traitors who dare to resist the heavenly soldiers.

Therefore, these days, Zhao Kai's main energy has been focused on establishing local governments on Beijing Ji Road, Datong Road and Hebei Road.

This is a very troublesome and meticulous job, not just a big shot and then appoint some surrendered traitors to become officials.

A large number of capable and reliable local officials must be sent, and the troops must be sent, and the governors of the Northern Town Fushi Department must also go with them.

When you arrive at a place, you must kill one by one random person. You have to recruit one faction, suppress one faction, and kill one faction. Only in this way can you effectively establish a local regime that is loyal to Zhao Kai, the official family.

With local governments, we can further investigate the land and open a military government. With military government, we can recruit a group of local utility soldiers in Hebei (referring to the newly obtained Hebei territory), Beijing Capital, Datong and other three routes, which is equivalent to opening up the upward channel for heroes in Hebei, Beijing Capital, Datong and other places.

Of course, these things are easy to say, but they are also very troublesome to do. Hebei Road seems to be a little easier, after all, there are many returning groups!

But it is difficult to fix Beijing Ji Road and Datong Road. Beijing Ji Road caused the Song Dynasty to harm it twice. It is hard to say how people feel. In addition, many powerful children from Beijing followed the Jin people to the outside world.

Similarly, the people on Zhao Kai's side would not trust Xuanhe, the powerful man on the Jin Road in Beijing, during the Northern Expedition, and they helped Yelu Dashi beat the Song army. Later, during the Xuanhe crisis, they turned against the Jin army and became the vanguard of the Jin army's invasion in the south.

The territory under Datong Road is roughly the southern part of Xijing Road in Liao Kingdom, where Hu and Han live in a mixed area, and there are many Khitans. These are not honest people, but armed nomadic tribes.

Neither the Khitans who had defected to the Jin Kingdom or the Khitans who had always insisted on resisting the Jin Dynasty, they would be willing to give up their territory in Datong Road!

In addition, Zhao Kai Group also likes land too much. This is a group of rural warriors who guard the land and collect rent!

This characteristic also determines that the contradiction between Zhao Kai and the local wealthy families in Beijing and Datong is irreconcilable.

Therefore, if you want to completely swallow Beijing Ji Road and Datong Road, a security war is inevitable!

In Zhao Kai's original plan, in order to prevent the traitors and powerful men from Beijing Ji Road colluding with the Jin Kingdom to cause rebellion, the Northern Expedition Army will immediately launch an eastern expedition after establishing local governments in various counties of Beijing Ji Road, seize Pingzhou and Luanzhou, and seize Yuguan and Yanshan entrances in Ping, Ji and Shun Prefectures, establish passes and fortresses, and block traffic. Then close the door and fight against the traitors and landlords in Beijing Ji Road!

However, when Zhao Gou made such a fuss on Jingdong Road, Zhao Kai first refuted foreign countries and then closed the door, and then fought against Landlords.

Because even if he can close the Yuguan and Yanshan entrances, he will not be able to separate Jingdong Road and Hebei Road!

There is no geographical dividing line in these two places, only administrative dividing line!

Moreover, Zhao Gou represents the traditional Zhao Song line of "governing the world with scholars and officials". In a sense, what Zhao Gou represents is the true Song Dynasty that scholars all over the world yearn for!

Not to mention that Zhao Kai, the leader of the "country warrior", cannot compare with this point, nor can Zhao Huan, the "pirate leader" in Jinling Mansion.

When Zhao Huan started to engage in "destroyed martial arts", the scholars and doctors in the southeast were still very happy and thought they could control everything. However, after following the "destroyed martial arts" path for several years, they realized that something was wrong because it is a chaotic world! Mastering everything means taking on the responsibility of defending the country, otherwise the thieves would come to rob money and women, and Zhao Kai would come to fight the local tyrants to share the land!

Therefore, the Jinling court had to select a group of more capable "literati" to be officials. After these people went up, they were even more domineering than the original martial artists, and soon suppressed the traditional civil servants. The literary Jinshi depreciated rapidly, and the martial Jinshi appreciated rapidly. By the time of the imperial examination competition in the eighth year of Jingkang, the number of admissions to literary Jinshi began to drop significantly because some of the martial Jinshi who entered the official position in the second year of Jingkang began to be transferred to local officials, and snatched away 170 to 80 prefectures and county officials in one go, making the future of the literary Jinshi increasingly slim.

Moreover, in order to establish a new army and a navy, these Jinling Wu Jinshi had to make money, so the tax revenue of the Jinling court became heavier and heavier, and it became increasingly difficult for those "unofficial and ruthless officials" to evade taxes.

Therefore, after Zhao Gou, who was under the banner of "governing the world with scholars and officials", emerged, not only did scholars and officials in Hebei yearn for Lin'an, but even scholars and officials in the southeast might also wave the flag and shout for Zhao Gou!

Therefore, Zhao Gou is really annoying!

"Official family, you give me three troops. I promise to capture Kang Wanggou for you within three months!"

The person who was about to search for mountains, inspect and capture Zhao Gou was of course Yue Fei!

"The official family, six of the twelve armies belonging to the camp have been dismantled and stationed in various places. There are only six armies available around Beijing at any time. If three are divided to fight the Jin thieves from Jingdong Yuguan, if there are large-scale arrivals, there will be only three armies in the camp that are about 60,000 people available."

The chief officer of the camp immediately raised a different opinion, "I think it is better to concentrate our troops to attack the enemy in Yuguan and Yuguan first. Once the enemy in Jingdong is defeated, the enemy in Jingdong will be vulnerable!"

Han Shizhong shook his head, "There are as many as 200,000 enemies in Yuguan, and they are already in danger, with defenses and defenses, and they are sufficient soldiers and food, so they are afraid that it will be difficult to attack and eliminate them in the short term. Our army is not as numerous as the Jin thieves, and the soldiers and food are not as good as the Jin thieves, and there is no geographical advantage to rely on. Only the benefits of firearms beat the enemy. However, the thieves defended the dangers and were enough to offset the power of our arms and firearms. If the battle lasts for a long time, we are afraid that our army will be defeated because of exhaustion of soldiers and food.

In addition, the Bohai Sea waterway is now in the thief but not in me. If Yuguan is in a confrontation, the Jin thieves sent an elite force to go to Beiqinghe (Jingdong Road) and joined forces with Zhao Gou to attack Hebei Road. Can our army be unbeaten?"

Han Shizhong is right!

The Jin thieves had naval forces. Although they could not compare to the Southern Song Dynasty, they were much better than the inland countries and Northern Song Dynasty!

Zhao Kai was reminded by Han Shizhong and found that his naval construction was a bit lagging behind.

The Datong Road Pacifier Zhang Jun frowned and said, "It's not just about fighting the Jin thief, it's not just about fighting the Kang thief, so who should we fight?"

Yes! Who will fight next?

Zhao Kai's eyes swept around the hall and asked everyone for advice.

"Official family," Liu Ziyu, the envoy of Yingtian on the Jin Road in Beijing, took the conversation and said to Zhao Kai, "Hebei, Jingji and Datong three routes are uneasy, so the Northern Expedition Army will be difficult to carry out. I believe that the resolute internal affairs must be settled first, but the Yingtian Military Palace will be established first, and then a group of northern powers will be recruited.

In addition, the second phase of the mansion and military service gathering is almost completed. In another month or two, twenty generals will come north. By then, Hebei and Datong will have enough troops to defend."

Zhao Kai nodded, it seemed that he was in favor of fighting the landlord first. If the landlords in Beijing were able to temporarily control the land in Hebei and Beijing, they would temporarily put the land in Hebei and Beijing under the control of the military government!

If you control the land, you will control the population, and you will be able to seize military rations from Hebei and Beijing and recruit civilians.

Although the landlords were robbed by the Jin thieves in Beijing and the landlords probably had no spare food, the situation in Hebei was different, and the landlords still had food.

Zhao Kai looked at Ma Kuo, Yingtian, Hebei Road.

Ma Kuo understood Zhao Kai's thoughts and immediately said: "Give me a month to build at least 40 Yingtian Military Palaces in Hebei!"

The so-called Yingtian Military Mansion is the yamen that manages the military and the stadium. Theoretically, a military mansion will have at most 4,000 military soldiers, and the stadium under its jurisdiction can reach 1 million mu.

However, the real foundation of these military residences is not the military residence, but the military positions and fields that have fields and soldiers! Therefore, military residences usually enclose land first, then recruit troops (useful), and finally divide the land.

What Ma Kuo meant to build 40 camp and field military mansions was to enclose 40 million acres of land on the newly recovered Hebei territory!

Some of these 40 million acres may be wasteland, and some may be "ownless" (the land of the runaway Jurchen Meng'an Mouke), but most of them must have masters, either landlords with contracts, or landlords with actual control.

If Zhao Kai's military administration wants to take down ownership and control of the land, there will definitely be a conflict.

But this must be done!

If you don’t do it, where can you go to the 240,000 troops who followed Zhao Kai’s Northern Expedition to grant land?

Moreover, there are 1 million tenants on the 40 million acres of land. Whoever takes the land will control these tenants.

This is a huge human resource!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai finally made up his mind and nodded, "Okay, I have decided, so let the Jin thieves go for three more months! Within three months, Hebei will build 40 new military offices and 20 new military offices on the Jin Road on Beijing. As for Datong Road, it will not move for the time being!"
Chapter completed!
