Chapter 125: The Confidence, It Was Made

Li Qianshun thoroughly experienced the feeling of feeling cold but unable to lift his heart.

Shu Qu Zejiu is one of the ten iron kite captains in Xixia. Although he is ranked lowest, he is the most loyal one. It is precisely because of this that Li Qianshun can rest assured that Concubine Cao Xian, Li Renxiao and Li Renyou can rest assured. Entrusted to Shu Qu Zejiu.

Li Qianshun's plan is very good - the Western Gang is very small, but the Song Dynasty is very big. As long as Qu Zejiu is allowed to take Concubine Cao Xian and Li Renxiao, Li Renyou will take advantage of the current war to remain anonymous all the way, and they can change their appearance after escaping to the Song Dynasty. , continue to live as ordinary people of the Song Dynasty.

But now...

Everything came to nothing, and Li Qianshun was completely desperate. He looked at Zhao Huan with pleading eyes: "Let them go, I'll let you deal with them! Ling Chi, car cracks, artillery fire, I will die how you want to see me die!"

Zhao Huan ignored Li Qianshun, but waved his hand and ordered He Ji to take Li Qianshun and others down.

When it comes to watching a drama, a drama like Xixia Monarch and his subjects, a dog bites a dog with a hair in his mouth, is enough to watch. Zhao Huan can't just watch the car crash and what Li Qianshun looks like, right?

After all, there are so many things to do in the city.

For example, the treasury and internal funds of Xixia were to be confiscated, the homes of Xia officials and the "village gentry" were to be confiscated, the laborers had to be captured and sold to Qin Hui for fun, and by the way, certain people had to be cleaned up. Fan.

"I have pity on the sages and gentry of the Song Dynasty. They wholeheartedly defected to Xixia, but their families were confiscated and exterminated by Li Qianshun. It's really...my heart is almost broken!"

He said this, but the expression on Zhao Huan's face was a smile, and the next words were even more frightening: "dig up all the ancestral graves of these people, and build a Zhange Pavilion in their hometown, and record it Its matter."

Zhao Huan always kills people and kills people.

Of course, these "virtuous gentry from the Song Dynasty" who came to Xixia from the Song Dynasty to join Li Qianshun could not all be slaughtered by Li Qianshun, but now, they must die at the hands of Li Qianshun, so that their fate will be the same as Those people of the Song Dynasty who chose to rebel formed a sharp contrast——

You can kill officials and rebel, and you can even shout the slogan "The sky is dead" openly. It doesn't matter if you can overturn the table of the Song Dynasty. Even if you fail, it is just the result of Lingchi and your whole family being executed. If you survive, you will be implicated. The nine tribes were exiled.

However, as long as you dare to take the nine ethnic groups, young and old, and their entire family property to a foreign country, and then turn around and work for a foreign country, you must be mentally prepared that all the nine ethnic groups will be completely wiped out and will be infamy for thousands of years.

Otherwise, there will always be some people with cerebral palsy who think that the imperial court is not what they want, so they might as well defect to foreign countries and turn around to create trouble for the imperial court. They will not only work hard to attack their own country, but also kill their own people to show their loyalty.

After all, even in later generations, there are still endless such bad guys - the male is Yu Qiangsheng, and the female is Gao Xingxin. The former betrayed Jin Wuluo, and the latter cracked the Beidou communication code. They are simply a typical example of hating the country.

In addition to dealing with these bad things, Zhao Huan also took stock of the gains and losses of this personal expedition to Xixia, and then summed it up in three words:

Get rich!

Since ancient times, war has been a very expensive thing——

Food and grass cost money, weapons also cost money, soldiers need military pay, casualties need pensions, and people's land, houses, etc. that were expropriated or harmed due to war need to be compensated. It's true that money is spent like water.

Of course, it's not about how much money was copied from Xixia's treasury and internal funds——

Compared with the Song Dynasty, Xixia was really poor. If the treasury and internal funds of Xixia were added together, they might not be comparable to Bianjing.

But the rural sages and gentry in Xixia are rich, as are those who defected from the Song Dynasty to Xixia, constantly provided food and intelligence support to Xixia, and helped Li Qianshun deal with the Song Dynasty for the sake of family interests.

Just by confiscating the homes of these people and exterminating their clans, the money would be enough to support the cost of this personal expedition.

The important thing is that there are people in Xixia.

Money is dead, people are alive.

The Xixia people were sold to Qin Huiwan as laborers, and each could be sold for five guan.

And Qin Huiwan is not a kind-hearted person - if a laborer cannot squeeze out the value of a hundred guan, Qin Huiwan will never spend 5 guan to buy a laborer.

More importantly, after destroying the country in one battle, Zhao Huan could now free up his hands to slowly deal with the problems of the Song Dynasty——

Basically any time traveler knows the problems that exist in the Song Dynasty, and many time travelers will immediately start to change it after time travel. There are people who play in such genres as vulgar development and technology, and court battles of wits and tricks. .

Only Zhao Huan chose to do the opposite.

In fact, even if Wanyan Zongwang did not lead the troops to besiege Bianjing, Zhao Huan would still choose to find ways to provoke a war, and then slowly solve the problems of the Song Dynasty.

Because the problem of the Song Dynasty was not external, but internal.

The problems of the Song Dynasty were not limited to Wen Tian and Wu Xi, but also the historical factors left over from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

This is also the reason why the officials of the Song Dynasty were thinking about reform when they first came to the throne, but after a period of reform, they would let it go.

Without him, because without the prestige that can suppress the entire army, the emperor is just an emperor in name only and can be replaced at any time.

That's why Zhao Huan chose to strengthen his prestige in the military through war, and to strengthen his prestige among the people through "never adding tax edicts".

Even the great grandfather back then was the same.

"Your People's Liberation Army won't follow me? I will go to Jinggang Mountain to find the Red Army!"

"I don't believe that the People's Liberation Army will follow you, Huang Yongsheng! What kind of chief of staff? When a war breaks out, I will be the chief of staff. If the People's Liberation Army follows you, Huang Yongsheng, I will go to Jinggangshan to find the Red Army!"

Only with military power in hand, Zhao Huan could boldly carry out reforms and slowly solve the problems that existed in the Song Dynasty.

Just like now.

Through one war after another, Zhao Huan's prestige in the army has slowly reached its peak. No matter how chaotic the people are, as long as the army is not in chaos, Zhao Huan can point at the officials and gentry and say: I am not targeting anyone. But I’m saying that everyone here is rubbish!

To take a step back, even if the entire Song Dynasty was completely in chaos, places like Fengshengzhou, Taiyuan, Zhending, Baoding, Hejian, Bianjing, and Chenliu would not be in chaos. This is Zhao Huan's basic plan. Even if the army It is unreliable, and Zhao Huan can also rally his troops in these places.
