Chapter 12: Know Your Opponent

It's already March, and the vast grasslands are beginning to become lush and green, and the goshawks are soaring in the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The cattle and sheep on the hillside are leisurely eating grass, and the shepherd is riding a horse and walking slowly. The cultivated land in the vicinity has been planted and has not yet sprouted, but it looks a little desolate, but under this desolation, there is hope for an autumn harvest.

Xu Ping, Chong Shiheng and Li Zhang rode forward slowly, and Tan Hu scattered around with people and horses, always vigilant.

Looking at the outline slowly revealing in front of him, Li Zhang said to Xu Ping in confusion: "Jieshuai, the Naqin Academy is a matter of Qinzhou, why did you call me?" Isn't it afraid that the subordinate tribes will come to rob the proton and ask the Shuai Mansion to send troops to protect it? ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Qingshui County is all Han people, and there is no decline, people are placed here, afraid that someone will come to rob them." You are not called here to protect this place, but there is something more important to do. ”

After speaking, Xu Ping turned his head to Chong Shiheng and said: "We have arrived in Qinzhou, we have just arrived, the geography is not clear, and the people are not familiar, so we must not act rashly." So in the past few months, everything has been the same, except for the Nazhi Academy, don't change the law of Cao Taiwei when he was there, so as not to cause the surrounding people's hearts to fluctuate, but it is not beautiful. The most important thing now is two things, one is to farm the land, have food in hand, and do not panic, and the other is to find out the surrounding situation as soon as possible. Since the first year of the Ming Dao, there was a mess in Miaochuan, and Wen Qiqi was killed, and the family moved to Qingtang, and the tribute was no longer paid, and the relationship with the imperial court was severed. Now west of Guwei, the merchants are not connected, there is no sound, and the court does not know what it is. If the situation is unknown, we can't do anything in Qinzhou. And to find out the situation, there are two fastest ways, the first is naturally to use these protons. Although some Fanluo used clansmen to pretend to be family members to fool the court, most of these people in the proton mouth were important people in the nearby Fanluoli, and they knew the geography and people. As long as they can sincerely obey the court, it is better than sending countless spies. Therefore, in this matter, Li Zhang must participate, and the focus is on collecting information. ”

Chong Shiheng arched his hand and said: "The lower officials will follow the instructions of the scriptures, and they will not fail in their mission!" ”

After speaking, he said to Li Zhang: "But there is a need in the ya, just tell me, Qinzhou will do its best to help." ”

Li Zhang is a person belonging to the Shuai Mansion, and the local affairs of Qinzhou have nothing to do with him, and he needs the help of Chong Shiheng.

Xu Ping said again: "There is another way, you have to use that Qi Song mage. From then on, to the west, to the Western Regions, most of the areas where Buddhism was practiced, and only monks were allowed to walk freely. Now in Qinzhou City, a temple was built for Master Qi Song, preaching Buddhism, and letting the surrounding people know that there was such a monk. I will play the imperial court, and give Master Qisong purple clothes and Dharma name, which is higher than the surrounding monks. When he has a reputation, he will naturally be invited to the Fandi Monastery to give a lecture on Buddhism, and then send a capable man to become a monk and follow Master Qisong. When I arrived at the Tibetan land, I found out what the situation was in the surrounding areas. Only when we know the situation can we decide what to do in the future. ”

We must not fight uncertain battles, even if it is a political struggle, we must know ourselves and our opponents, and we must not act blindly. After arriving in Qinzhou, Xu Ping was very cautious, and the big moves were basically placed in Fengxiang Mansion, where Qinzhou only planned land and reserved materials, and even the Sansi shop had not yet opened. The land for the camp and field work is also occupied and determined idle land, or the land is bought from the hands of the Han people in Qingshui, Longcheng, and Chengji counties, and then people are recruited into the camp and field work. The iron mine in Qingshui County is also on the land of the Han people.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was a major rebellion in Tibet, and shortly after the imperial court made him the general of Ningyuan and the training envoy of the Aizhou regiment, he clashed with Wen Qiqi, the leader of the Yaran tribe in Miaochuan, and fled to Qingtang after killing Wen Qiqi. Since then, the situation of the Qiang tribe west of Guwei has been unclear, and with the infiltration of party forces, the situation is very complicated.

In addition to the Babes, the biggest forces in Tibet are the Zongge tribe and the Yaran tribe, each with hundreds of thousands. When he first came to this area, he did not have any power, and he was the first to rely on Li Lizun, who was the first to rely on the clan, and then clashed with Li Lizun, and went to the Yaran tribe in Miaochuan to take refuge in Wen Qiqi. The two largest tribes, in order to develop their power with the help of the identity of the Miao of the Zangpu Seed, competed to control him. In the end, there was an accident, and he was killed and fled to Qingtang. When he arrived in the Qingtang Dynasty, Dang Xiang just broke through Hexi Tubo, and a large number of Hexi Tibetan people joined him, and his power took the opportunity to develop.

Like Li Lizun, Wen Qiqi's name has religious connotations, but this religion is not Buddhism, but the original Bon religion of the Tibetan people. In other words, the two largest tribes in Tibet not only have a feud, but also have religious conflicts. And he has made enemies with the two largest tribes, and now life is not easy.

The information in Xu Ping's hands was only until he killed Wen Qiqi and fled to Qingtang, and he didn't know anything else. Because of his status after Zampu, he has a special influence in Hehuang Tubo, and it is best to use his strength. But now that I don't know anything about the surrounding situation, I don't dare to act rashly, and if I accidentally let the crowd attack, things will be tricky.

First of all, start with the Naqin Academy, because the situation of these protons is already the worst, Xu Ping's actions are a show of grace and will not cause chaos. These people have a complicated relationship with their own clan, and being able to get their help is conducive to figuring out the situation around them as soon as possible.

After listening to Xu Ping's words, Li Zhang finally understood the purpose of his current move. Since arriving in Qinzhou, except for the garrison of the forbidden army brought by the arrangement, Xu Ping has basically ignored the affairs of the Shuai Mansion, which makes everyone a little confused. Bringing a large army to come, of course, is to first demonstrate to the surrounding areas, and then everything will be easy to discuss. But he didn't know that in Xu Ping's heart, any military action must have political significance, even if it is a drill and inspection, it must have a clear political purpose. At present, the surrounding situation is unclear, and even the political goal has not yet been decided, so of course there is no way to talk about military action, and everything is mainly focused on improving itself.

When he got closer, he found that the protons in the Nazhi courtyard were building houses by themselves under the management of Qinzhou officials. The northwest is relatively dry, thick and rainless, and the loess layer is deep, which is suitable for building walls. Although coal is produced around, it is not easy to transport, and the coal itself is worthless, but the price of transportation to the vicinity of Qinzhou has gone up, and the burning of bricks and tiles is somewhat unaffordable. These protons are also idle, so they are divided into two groups, one group goes out to cultivate the fields, and the other group builds houses in the station, and they take turns every day. Now that the weather is getting warmer, they have no problem living in makeshift huts, as long as they live in a built house before the summer and autumn rainy seasons arrive.

The three of them rode horses and watched on the nearby hill for a while, and Xu Ping said to Li Zhang: "From tomorrow, you go to the military camp guarding here, and you don't need any identity, just treat it as a representative of the Shuaifu to watch here." Talk to these protons more on weekdays.,A few important identities in it let the general judge give you the list.,Intentionally wrap up.。 Get acquainted with them, and learn about the surrounding love from their mouths. Remember, if anything can only be heard from one person's mouth, it must be doubted, not taken as a certainty. Only after several aspects have been confirmed can it be regarded as an opportune matter of the marshal's mansion. In addition, while the Shuai Mansion is nothing to do now, you choose some people, regardless of whether they belong to the Shuai Mansion or the place, and follow you. In a few days, when the various divisions and yamen of the Shuaifu are newly built, there will be a separate division and you will be in charge. All the surrounding geography and people, the people who have fallen heads, how many accounts, how many people, and how many horses they have, must be investigated and understood one by one. Whenever there is a war, what I am most afraid of is that I am at a loss, I go out to fight like a fly without a head, I don't know how to win if I win by luck, what is the use of winning, and I am even more confused if I lose. You must be cautious! We are in Qinfeng Road, we must not make such a ridiculous mistake! ”

Li Zhang promised, knowing that Xu Ping was going to really start to include him in the military and political system of Qinzhou.
