38. Expand the territory and recuperate
Qiao Ning readily agreed to this, Gu Mo Zhiden smiled slightly, praised Qiao Ning, and presented all kinds of gifts brought from Tubo, as for the little prince, he had already lost his courage, and he didn't dare to say anything, and obediently acted as his inflatable doll.
Qiao Ning is now widely powerful, and he doesn't have any covetousness for Gu Mozhi, a martial arts master, whether he is ambushed or not, it doesn't help him much, but because Gu Mozhi is a national teacher after all, once he surrenders, he must have a corresponding status, which will interfere with his decision-making.
What's more, Gu Mozhi's family background is nothing more than Xiao Wuxianggong, the Flame Knife and the seventy-two unique arts of Shaolin Temple, these martial arts Qiao Ning also has in his hands, and they are more genuine, and they are not needed.
Therefore, after talking about state affairs, Qiao Ning treated Gu Mozhi as a state guest and was polite, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
On the contrary, it was Gu Mozhi who had been in the Huanglong Mansion for a long time, but all the generals under Qiao Ning had a little bit of a look and gave many gifts, such a public solution to Qiao Ning's trust in his subordinates, Qiao Ning just coldly blinked and didn't care about him anymore.
Qiao Ning's control over his subordinates is naturally extremely strong, and Gu Mozhi worked hard for more than a month, but found that he had found nothing, and finally had to leave in disgrace, take his little prince with him, and turn back to Tibet.
Soon after he returned, Tubo migrated the population to Qiaoning's Liaodong, and Qiao Ning did not refuse to come, and by the way, he promulgated his management methods for the sects, and for a time the large and small sects were also very happy.
Qiao Ning's method was very slow to produce results, but it was enough to disintegrate the wise and insightful people from the confinement of religion, or to turn religion into enlightenment, not only to seek the way of heaven, but also to value humanity.
And Qiao Ning also played a little trick, he selected hundreds of places in Liaodong, Tokyo Province, and turned them into missionary places, these places are not connected to each other, they are all alone, and any sect can be stationed at will, but if you want to get this missionary land, you can vigorously develop the economy, attach importance to agriculture, and encourage trade, otherwise you will not be able to pay religious taxes and will be deprived of the missionary land.
This is tantamount to taking advantage of the advantages of religious believers, who are easy to squeeze and work hard, to help themselves reclaim the land.
For others, more than 200,000 people, it is too difficult to transfer thousands of miles, but for Qiao Ning, it is simply easy, he only needs to send hundreds of caravans, every time he travels to Tibet, hundreds of people are wrapped, one is to use these people as coolies, free helpers, and can do some business, after all, these people are local aborigines, there are many conveniences, and the second is to take advantage of the situation to wrap the population in the Central Plains, through the Great Song Dynasty, transferred to Liaodong, and by the way, also sent a large number of materials overใ
With the control of Qiaojiazhai in Liaodong, the power is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are two things that have to be put on the agenda. One of the things is that although Liaodong has been fully mastered by Qiao Ning, there are still Chao and Xian Gu hanging, which makes Qiao Ning like a needle on his back, which is very unhappy, and one more thing is that he must establish the national name, and can no longer use the title of Qiaojiazhai.
After all, he also has hundreds of thousands of miles of land, two prefectures and fourteen states, and many officials, and he is no longer the king of the bandit mountain who divides one side.
Qiao Ning knew that the dynasty and the fresh were bitter and cold, and the army was unfavorable, so he deliberately cultivated a group of good hands who cultivated the Xuanming Divine Palm, and these people led the martial arts elites, divided into dozens of units, took a sea ship, landed from the other end, and did not take a decisive battle, that is, constantly plundered the population to Liaodong, and tried to destroy the local agriculture and mulberry farming.
These martial arts masters, coming and going like the wind, their whereabouts are mysterious, either lighting a house or burning farmland, just like thousands of vicious criminals, suddenly appear in a small projectile land, all kinds of damage to the DPRK and Xian, it is simply unimaginable.
Qiao Ning's policy was not implemented for long, the king of Chao and Xian sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty for help, and the Great Song Dynasty controlled this matter by force at this time, and simply ignored it, and finally the king of Chao and Xian had to ask Qiao Ning for help, Qiao Ning was also generous, opened the border between the two countries, and allowed the refugees who could not eat enough to enter the country, and after half a year, even the lord of the dynasty and Xian, as well as the ministers of the court, were starved and fled to Liaodong.
The next thing is naturally easy, Qiao Ning kept moving the Han people into the court, and by the way, he also naturalized the people of the court and Xian, and got hundreds of thousands of people and a country out of thin air.
After engulfing the dynasty and Xian, Qiao Ning chose a good day and an auspicious day, and named the country "Qiao", and the Qiao dynasty was established.
After the establishment of the Qiao Dynasty, the integration of various ethnic groups was intensified rapidly, and the various tribes and tribes in eastern Liaodong had long been unable to distinguish each other, and they were all proud of having Han surnames, even if they had not been naturalized, they had long thought that they were also Han people, and their surnames were also contained in the surnames of thousands of families.
After Qiao Ning integrated for several years, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and began a large-scale expedition to the Liao State, and within a few years, he successively annexed Zhongjing Road and Nanjing Road, and persecuted Xijing Road, forcing the Liao nobles to continue to migrate and retreat into Shangjing Road, and no longer dared to compete with the Qiao Dynasty.
After annexing large swaths of the Liao Kingdom, the Qiao dynasty finally bordered the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, which put pressure on both countries.
The Great Song Dynasty did not say anything, and all the Western troops guarding the Western Xia were withdrawn, and the Western Xia exhausted most of the national strength to form an army of more than 100,000 soldiers and Chen soldiers at the border.
Qiao Ning entered the mode of internal affairs every time he expanded his territory, and there was no exception at this time, and after attacking the Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road of the Liao State, he died down, took advantage of the situation to ask the Great Song Dynasty for a batch of goods and coins, and began to enter the mode of recuperation and hoarding national strength.
Although Liaodong is said to be a land of suffering, in fact, the land is fertile, and there is a lot of cultivated land that can be cultivated, and in many places seeds are sown, so you can have a good harvest without much care.
Although Qiao Ning didn't know much about history, and most of his memories were incomplete, he still had some impressions and knew what crops were suitable for Liaodong, so under his rule, the Qiao dynasty had bumper harvests year after year, and the harvested grain was enough to support the needs of the army for ten consecutive years.
It was only at this time that Qiao Ning began to think about reforming the military system and redividing the various armies of Qiaojiazhai into fifteen routes and dividing them into standing armies and auxiliary armies.
The standing army is all professional soldiers, proficient in various combat skills, skilled in bows and horses, and is a first-class elite soldier. The auxiliary garrison has its own garrison in peacetime, and it is not only necessary to train, but also to be responsible for tuntian, and only those who stand out in training can be selected into the standing army, and their remuneration will also be increased tenfold.
