Chapter 185 The wolves drive away Di
The fourth year of Zhonghe, at the end of March.
The Tang court suddenly ordered Zhu Quanzhong to be the Prince of Pei, Han Zhi Julu, Yang Xingmi Runan, Liu Hanhong, Huainan, and Wang Jingwu to be the Chief of the Procuratorate, and to be the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.
The other surname was granted a title of king, and there were so many imperial edicts at once, and the court took action.
This move is really sinister and openly conspired. Since you, Zhu Quanzhong, is the Prince of Pei, your fief is in Pei County. Should you attack Xuzhou in the east and take the fief, or defend Henan, and win the king and dominate the king with your door.
For others, the same is true. For example, Yang Xingmi is the King of Runan. Where is Runan? It is in Caizhou. For Caizhou occupied by Qin Zongli, is it Yang Xingmi attacking or not attacking?
Just as the Kanto vassal states were on guard and ready to move, Li Changfu, the governor of Fengxiang, bravely sent troops to attack Hezhong on the grounds that King Chongrong of the Hezhong refused to offer sacrifices.
Zhu Mei, the governor of the Fuyan Jie, dispatched troops and generals, and the tiger looked at Fengxiang, which was suspected of taking advantage of the situation to rob.
Shuozhou, Zhu Li, Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, Wang Yueyao and others, traveled comfortably by the fields and canals, as if they were very leisurely.
Wang Yueyao took the lead and said, "This time the imperial court rewarded the Kanto vassal states, which is intriguing."
"Han Zhi and the others did not offer sacrifices, they should have completely angered an old guy in the court. This move was beautiful, and without any soldiers, Han Zhi, Zhu Quanzhong and others were all on guard. The Kanto vassal states were ready for a while, and they were in a panic." Guo Chongtao expressed his thoughtful words and said.
Guo Qizuo, who was sitting on the side of Zhu Li, was not moved by the topic of the two. He bowed straight to Zhu Li and said, "It's almost March, the general should have made up his mind. Should we go south to guide Hedong, or sweep the Beidi north to the north?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li frowned slightly and said, "Attacking other vassal states for no reason, do you still want me to rebel?"
He gave Guo Qizuo a angrily glance and continued: "It seems that he is in trouble on Gao Su's side. The remnants of Dangxiang, the Uighur cavalry, and the Khitan warriors suddenly gathered in Fengzhou, with unknown intentions."
"The three fertile soils in Hejian are Yunzhong, Fengzhou, and Yinchuan. Now Yunzhong County has been eaten by us. Yinchuan County is not under our jurisdiction. Fengzhou must be taken down, and even the entire area around Yinshan is taken down, which is not impossible." Zhu Li narrowed her eyes and said firmly. (Tang Dynasty: The front door belongs to Yunzhong County; the back door belongs to Fengzhou; the western door belongs to Yinchuan County.)
Zhu Li decided to attack Fengzhou in the north to summarize this fertile land. Later generations were hailed as "the south of the Yangtze River" and "the granary" treasure land could not fall into the hands of the Di people.
Every time they are nomadic people, who drive horses thousands of miles away and go south to knock on the gates. Are they not allowed to expedition to the north and expand their territory? Some people say it is difficult. In Zhu Li's eyes, all the difficulties are used to overcome.
When Guo Qizuo heard this, he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "The general wants to summarize the Fengzhou area under his jurisdiction. We must fully support this. If his subordinates are not guessing wrong, the general seems to be interested in expeditions outside the border. I wonder if his subordinates have guessed wrong?"
It’s good to have smart people around you. Learn from the following words and know the elegant meaning when you hear the string song. Zhu Li stared at Guo Qizuo and asked back, “I have this intention, what’s wrong?”
When he saw Zhu Li, he was indeed intentional. Guo Qizuo's expression changed suddenly and said earnestly: "The Liaoyuan is endless and the land is vast, but it is difficult for crops to grow on it. It is not done by wise people."
"Yes, General, the northern part of the Selangor area is very cold, crops are very difficult
Growing, even if it is built up, it is still a piece of grassland, which is in vain." Guo Chongtao hurriedly stepped forward and echoed Guo Qizuo.
Seeing the two great talents persuade Zhu Li together, Wang Yueyao was a little worried. After all, she had been in contact with the two gentlemen for a long time and was very aware of the abilities of these two people. The things they agreed unanimously would not be wrong, because he was afraid that Zhu Li would be stubborn.
She had experienced this guy's character. At the end of the New Year, Zhu Chun and Zheng unanimously asked Zhu Li to ask him and Wang Yueyao to give their marriage first, but this guy resisted the pressure from his parents, but he did not agree.
In this era, most of the 15- or 6-year-old men have become fathers, but Zhu Li is so lucky now that she is eighteen and still has no plans to get married, which makes her a big girl, still alone in her 29th year, how can she not be resentful?
Although Wang Yueyao looked very calm on the surface, she was already anxious and jumped around.
She knew that Zhu Li had a Yuchi Jin in her heart. If she could marry Zhu Li before Yuchi Jin, she would definitely be able to suppress that Yuchi Xiaoniang in the future. This is her little thought.
Zhu Li did not refuse to marry her, but she did not intend to get married now. She was worried about this beautiful lady.
"Did the two gentlemen oppose Zhu's northern expedition because there are no suitable crops on the vast land?" Zhu Li turned his head and looked at Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao and others, and said in confusion.
When Guo Qizuo heard this, he nodded, shook his head again, and said with a sigh: "The general is only half right. Liaoyuan is vast and has no barriers. Even if we take down this land and work hard to manage it, once the Di people come to plunder again, the people will inevitably suffer again. Di people are endless, and Liaoyuan is uneasy."
Zhu Li thought about it after hearing this and said, "The north is bitter and cold, but it is not impossible to become arable land."
Speaking of this, he thought of later generations. Among the many crops in later generations, there were many crops that could be planted in large areas in the Northland, and the yield was not low, such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc.
But now it was the late Tang Dynasty, and most of the crops on the Shanhai Jing were planted by ancestors in the Yellow River Basin. They were rarely suitable for large-scale planting in the north, which led to the vast northern land, but few people in the Chinese people hoped to put them in the territory.
However, although there are few crops suitable for planting in the northern region, it does not mean that there are no crops, such as radishes, cabbage, soybeans, millet, soybeans, etc. Thinking of this, he said: "We can grow radishes, cabbage, soybeans, etc. in this area. As far as Zhu knows, radishes alone include spring and summer radishes, summer and autumn radishes, autumn and winter radishes, and winter and spring radishes. The growth period of radishes is very short, and you can harvest them once every two to three months."
"The monograph "Er Ya" a thousand years ago, "Qi Min Yao Shu" written by Jia Sijie during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and "Bencao" written by Su Gong of this dynasty all talk about radish, from planting techniques to consumption and medicinal purposes."
"And the yield of radish is not low. Not only are the fruits buried underground able to be eaten, but the leaves on the ground can also be used to cook porridge, cook vegetables, etc. As long as the people in the north are more diligent, they can be planted here all year round, and then planted crops such as millet and sorghum. Who said that there are no suitable crops in the north and can be planted?"
When Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao and Wang Yueyao heard this, they looked at each other. Zhu Li knew so clearly and said it was very clear. It was obviously a matter of putting some effort into it, not nonsense. It can be seen that using this as a reason to prevent the other party from expeditioning the Northern Expedition was obviously not feasible.
“Even if there is a suitable one
Crops, but facing the ubiquitous Di people, the people cannot survive in this place?" Guo Chongtao was not giving up.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li glanced at him calmly, asked without answering, "What are the herdsmen on the grassland most afraid of?"
When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned. Wang Yueyao was full of worries and naturally didn't bother to use her brain. He looked directly at Erguo. Guo Qizuo was worthy of staying in the north for several years. The situation he understood was meticulous and extensive. After a moment of thinking, he said: "What the herders on the grassland fear most are plagues and natural disasters, especially animal epidemics; followed by fires and wolves."
"Yes," Zhu Li glanced at Guo Qizuo with approval and continued: "The grassland warriors are fast horses, longbows and scimitars. However, facing the agile, velocity, and group-based wolf packs, their reliances cannot play much role."
"You three know that wolves and dogs have very similar temperaments. We can feed dogs, so we can raise wolves naturally." Speaking of this, Zhu Li looked around the three of them and said proudly: "The herdsmen can raise cattle and horses, so we can raise ferocious wolves, and we specialize in cattle and sheep on the grassland as their targets of prey."
"If herders grazed in our generation, they would be attacked by wolves. We can even bring wolves to attack their tribes frequently. Over time, will they still dare to grazle in this generation?"
Zhu Li looked at the three of them confidently, and he didn't say anything. The braised wolf meat sauce came out, which was actually very delicious. Later generations of Yinxiju Dining Recipe said: "Replenish the five internal organs, resist wind and cold, warm the stomach and strengthen the aphrodisiac, fill the marrow." It can be seen that wolf meat is a good thing.
Raising a wolves was also his temporary idea, as long as the wolves must be controlled, this requires the operation of professionals.
"Beast wolf?" Guo Qizuo frowned.
Guo Chongtao and Wang Yueyao were also very novel. When they heard the wolf, Wang Yueyao even forgot about his thoughts. On his pretty face, he looked at Zhu Li with an incredible expression.
The man he chose was indeed extraordinary, and he really thought that people would never dare to think about.
"Yes, it's just animal wolves. When these wolves are raised, they will have a certain deterrence for the nomadic people. If we manage the captured land within a certain period of time and protect it with wolves, as long as we go through the difficult years and absorb enough population, we can build a city to live. When cities rise on the grasslands in the north, it will be easier to resist the Di people at that time."
When Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao and Wang Yueyao heard this, they all became silent. The second Guo thought carefully about the feasibility of Zhu Li's idea, while Wang Yueyao was a fan of the flower slut.
Outside the late Tang Dynasty, there were many races of Di people, and they were not subordinate to each other. The more famous ones were the Khitan, Xi people, Tuhun, Tatars, Shiwei, Baiwu, Yujue, Yu Niang, Nuzhi, Jinghe, Uighurs, Tubo, Gekun, etc.
Zhu Li was preparing to clear Yinshan, so he had to face the nomadic peoples such as Khitan, Tatar, and Shiwei. In the north of Yinshan, almost all of these three races lived there, and the animals and wolves caused harm. His purpose was to let these people move.
"Okay, if the general can be successful in surviving wolves, his subordinates support the general in the northern expedition of the grassland, and the alien race has been wandering outside the pass, which will sooner or later be a disaster for the people of the Central Plains."
