    Zhao Xun's actions were faster than Ha Gang's expectations. He ordered Li Chenfeng on the spot to mobilize the army to station in the Bujia tribe to train the 30,000 standing army.

    In this regard, Ha Gang no longer had any other thoughts in his mind.  Now, he is more worried about whether he will be eliminated by Zhao Jun, just like the heir to the Landu tribe in the past.  One of them who did not submit to the Zhao army was killed by the Zhao army.

    Although there are no less than 60,000 to 70,000 warriors in the Bujia tribe, they are all capable of conquering and fighting.  However, only a standing army of thirty thousand is the most powerful.  According to Zhao Jun's request, each of the nine major tribes has a standing army of 30,000 people, who will ignore other people's affairs and just focus on fighting.  In addition, only these 30,000 standing troops can be equipped with the armor and weapons traded by Zhao Jun.

    Of course, you can also say that you won¡¯t use it for them and will use it for others.  However, next, your tribe will face a military attack from the Zhao army.  Even if they don't use force, it will cut off the tribe's trade, and even be abandoned by the Zhao army, which will not please both sides.

    After someone took Ha Gang down to rest, everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel happy, and several people smiled.

    "Congratulations, lord, we have won another one! However, Ha Gang will stay here for a while, and we must wait until our people control the 30,000 standing army." Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile.

    Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first make peace at home! Uncle Li, when we send people this time, we will not only eliminate Ha Gang's cronies among the 30,000 standing army, but also the leaders and generals of the remaining tens of thousands of warriors.  We must remove them all and select those who are responsible for our people and the rest of the warriors. As for the standing army, our people must control it.¡±

    Li Chenfeng nodded and said: "Lord, don't worry, I will definitely tell them to take care of this. Although the thirty thousand people in each department are not many, they are all armies that do not require us to bear all kinds of materials, money and food. We will definitely include them  However, in order to completely recruit these 30,000 standing troops, do we need to give some preferential treatment to the families of these 30,000 standing troops?¡±

    Zhao Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, no matter how preferential treatment is, we don't need to pay too much. In the end, all we have to use are the supplies of the Bujia tribe to train the soldiers under our control. So, for Bujia tribe,  The 30,000 standing troops of the Jia tribe will have the same identity, status and family members as the Landu tribe."

    Zhang Yuanjing touched her palms and smiled and said: "My lord, if this happens, the leaders of the other seven tribes will have a big headache. I would like to see what will happen to the standing armies of the other tribes when they learn about the treatment of the standing soldiers of the Bujia tribe.  How about it? It¡¯s good to spend your own money to organize the armor and equipment for the standing army. Now, you have to pay extra for them. After the victory, you are eligible to distribute 40% of the spoils to yourself. After the sacrifice, their families will receive pensions.  . More importantly, once they become a standing army, they and their families have civilian status, and except for paying additional taxes, everything else is theirs."

    "When the treatment of the soldiers of the Landu tribe was improved, it already caused some changes among the standing soldiers of the major tribes. However, at that time, the Landu tribe was already under our control. Therefore, the leaders of the major tribes still have excuses. But now  , they will be in trouble"

    Wei Zilin, who was responsible for coordinating the immigration of refugees and responsible for the logistics of the northern front army, said slightly worriedly: "Although the leader of the Bujia tribe has been surrendered this time, will the other tribal leaders be dissatisfied with it? Normally, that's fine, but this time  At this timethis is the time when the armies are facing each other. What if these tribes"

    Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the remaining seven tribes are determined not to make any move. Mr. Wei has been responsible for logistics and refugee matters for a long time, and may not be familiar with some of our current actions in the nine tribes."

    "Since last year, we have been trading with these nine tribes. Now, all the daily needs of these nine tribes are taken care of by our Da Zhao merchants. In addition, because of trade, the leaders of these tribes have made profits.  There are not a few people. The furs, tendons and other materials they used to accumulate can now be sold to our Zhao merchants in exchange for many Central Plains items. And the nobles and ordinary people of these tribes have long been accustomed to using our Central Plains items on a daily basis.  Object life.¡±

    "If we suddenly cut off trade with these seven tribes now, then the leaders of these seven tribes will definitely not be able to hold their positions. The tribesmen will not agree. It will be difficult for them to adapt to their current life without it.  of."

    Wei Zilin nodded and suddenly realized: "I understand, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. What a good strategy, what a good strategy. You can indirectly control these tribes using commercial methods, okay! Now!  , we can act more confidently.¡±

    Zhang Yuanjing said: "Business methods can indeed play a key role in some aspects. However, after all, this is a restraint and cannot be used as a final resort. ToIt is these tribal leaders who are trying to kill each other, and these methods are useless.  "

    Wei Zilin smiled and said: "However, the leaders of these tribes do not have the courage to die and break the net. Besides, we did not let them die, and they did not need to risk their lives. Even if the fish died and the net was broken, in the end, the fish died, but the net  But it can¡¯t be broken.¡±

    Zhao Xun tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice: "Since the leaders of each tribe have arrived, it is time to rectify them."

    "Yuan Jing, let the remaining twenty-eight tribal leaders come tomorrow to discuss the rectification of each department. This time, I need to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of these more than thirty tribes."

    After a pause, Zhao Xun sighed coldly: "There were more than a hundred tribes at the beginning, but in the end there were only thirty-five. If they don't understand, let them become like the more than seventy tribes, let them immediately  Dissipate. As for the remaining seven tribes, it¡¯s time for them to know the situation of the Bujia tribe. I don¡¯t think they have any other ideas.¡±

    "Wei Zilin, you coordinate the overall logistics affairs. You have a heavy burden on you to deal with these thirty-five tribes this time." Zhizhi looked at Wei Zilin and said in a deep voice.

    Wei Zilin said in a loud voice: "If we can deal with these grassland barbarians as soon as possible, it will be worthwhile no matter how busy I am. I wonder what my lord's arrangements are for these tribes?"

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Of course we cannot use force directly against these tribes, nor can we just break them up and relocate them. What we need to do is to digest these tribes step by step without affecting the overall stability.  ¡±

    "From each tribe, select young and strong men who are good at riding, uniformly organize them, strictly train them, and place them on the border between western Xiazhou and Liangzhou. As for the people of each tribe, we will deal with them according to the arrangements of the Landu tribe. Grant them.  All tribesmen protect their private property as civilians. From now on, they do not need to pay anything to the tribal nobles and leaders except paying certain taxes to the tax officials arranged by me."

    "I will ask the leaders of each tribe to stay in the Landu tribe and accompany me. You will send people directly to each tribe to announce our decree in order to gain the support of the thirty-five tribesmen."

    Wei Zilin said in confusion: "For these thirty-five ministries, why don't we directly express our intentions to the leaders of each ministry tomorrow? If my subordinates want to come, they will not dare to refuse tomorrow."

    Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Yes, they dare not refuse, but I will not let them violate it. I will make it clear to them tomorrow as usual and force them to obey the order. Then, let them write down the order, and our people will go directly to the various ministries to deliver the order.  . In this way, we can not only gain the support of ordinary tribesmen, but also make these tribal leaders the targets of various nobles. Don't forget, if we act like this this time, it will not only be the tribe leaders who will suffer, but also the tribe leaders.  There are these nobles.¡±

    Zhao Xun arranged for Ha Gang, the leader of the Bujia tribe, and the leaders of the other tribes to be together. This showed that he intended to let the tribes know the previous situation. At the same time, it was also to warn the tribes that since they were attached to the Zhao army, they should behave accordingly.  Zhao Jun can make you survive, but he can also make you die and let others take your place.

    On the second day, the leaders of twenty-eight small and medium-sized tribes met with great trepidation, King Zhao, the leader of the Zhao army.  Compared with the first time the ministries met a few days ago, they were even more fearful now.  The seven tribal leaders had been drinking and chatting with them a few days ago, but now, their heads were hanging on the flagpole outside, becoming a symbol of warning to others.  The dignified leader of a large tribe and the guardian envoy personally appointed by King Zhao was deprived of the real power of the tribe in the blink of an eye.

    Zhao Xun was also unambiguous and directly stated his requirements to more than 20 people.  The twenty-eight people dare not say anything. They don't want to be one of the heads hanging on the flagpole.  Besides, these thirty-five tribes can be preserved because these tribal leaders do not have strong desire for control and ambition, and the tribes are not very powerful.  Faced with King Zhao's request, they did not dare to refuse.

    So, more than 20 leaders wrote down warrants and sent out their cronies to assist Zhao Jun in returning to their tribe.  In other words, from now on, their control over the tribe has reached its lowest point.

    However, Zhao Xun promised these tribal leaders and encouraged them to do business with Zhao merchants in the future.  They are even encouraged to join the caravan to make their wealth richer.

    Although they lost their tribal power, these tribal leaders were very dissatisfied.  However, since they were moved to these places by Zhao Jun, they knew that this was inevitable.  It's just that it's a little hard to accept when things happen.  However, now they have no choice. After all, life is more important than rights.  Besides, losing rights and getting money can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

    "Okay, okay! All thirty-five tribes will surrender. In this way, this summer?. The northern part of Bingzhou is completely stable.  As long as control is strengthened in the future, immigration can be carried out.  "Wei Zilin was happy.

    "Yes, the thirty-five tribes can at least recruit more than 100,000 cavalry. Even if only the elite are needed, at least 50,000 can be mobilized. All the grassland tribes are good cavalry experts.  ." From a military perspective, Li Chenfeng said that for generals, the strength and quantity of troops are the most important.

    Zhao Xun said slowly: "One hundred thousand? That's too much. We can't afford to support so many troops. The consumption of cavalry cannot be compared with that of infantry. This time, only 50,000 elites are needed. Arrange them in Xiazhou  In the southwest, where it meets Liangzhou, they need to be trained strictly. I, Sergeant Zhao, have strict military discipline. This is the minimum requirement. "

    Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a while and said: "My lord will recruit 50,000 cavalry and arrange them at the handover point of Liangzhou. Is it possible to attack Liangzhou?"

    Zhao Xun said with a smile: "It doesn't mean that we are going to take action against Liangzhou. Nowadays, the land of Liangzhou is not peaceful. The countries in the Western Regions are increasingly unsure of whether to advance or retreat. If the Governor of Liangzhou cannot suppress Liangzhou, then we can only take action.  ¡±

    After a pause, Zhao Xun's face became a little heavy, and he continued: "In addition, Situ Lei also acted very quickly. The Qi army is now being pressed hard by various princes. If we can't provide some help, I'm afraid this  The Qi army is in danger. Of course, the most important thing is that Situ Lei will take the biggest advantage. This is somewhat different from what we expected. Situ Lei's actions are too fast, and Murong Cheng's reaction is too slow.  "

    "I thought that Situ Lei would take action after the formal war between our eastern princes. Who would have thought that this cunning old thief would take action as soon as he sensed there was a problem. More importantly, he had already been prepared for action.  Murong Cheng did not withdraw from Yangzhou in time as we expected. Instead, he held a stalemate with Li Chi in Xuzhou for a period of time, allowing the various princes to move without hindrance.  The command of the King of Qi is even more divided and vulnerable."

    "Now, Situ Lei's strength has grown too fast, and so have the other princes. But our foreign enemies have not decreased at all. The countries in the Western Regions used to be just a group of small ants that surrendered to the Great Yan Empire. Now  , actually want to overturn the world. The Central Plains is weak, and foreign enemies want to take a bite. "

    "Wei Chen, please pay attention to the war situation in the south at all times. But if there is any situation, report it immediately."

    Wei Chen nodded and immediately said: "My lord, news came from Youzhou. King Murong Cheng of Qi sent an envoy again to ask about the time for our army to send troops."

    After thinking about it, Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Reply to the letter and say that the Turkic army from the north is attacking. Our army does not dare to move lightly until the Turkic army is dealt with. After all, compared to Situ Lei, the Turkic army is more dangerous. In addition,  Tell them that my presence in Bingzhou and Xiazhou has put a lot of pressure on Situ Lei. Although he did not directly send troops, it is equivalent to secretly helping him, which is enough to relieve him a lot of pressure. "

    Subsequently, Zhao Xun did not go to war with the Turkic army opposite, but continued to rectify his own internal affairs.  As Zhao Xun said, to fight against the outside world, we must first make peace with the inside.  Now the Turkic army is afraid of the Zhao army. The long border line is full of troops, and it can pull the Turkic tribes attached to the Zhao army to send troops from any direction at any time.  Therefore, they did not dare to move lightly.

    As for Zhao Xun, he has no intention of directly starting a war with the opponent.  Judging from the current situation, the longer it is delayed, the better it will be for our side.  After all, among the troops participating in the war, Zhao Jun's army was not large and was still distributed in Xiazhou and Bingzhou.  The money and food that need to be paid are not much. You can even buy livestock directly from the major tribes for food by paying only for some military equipment, salt, tea and other daily necessities.  Not only did it reduce logistical pressure, it also provided more meat for the soldiers.  Not to mention, a large part of Zhao Jun's logistics was handed over to the caravans.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Xun naturally began to rectify the various tribes on his side without hesitation.  I have to say that Zhao Xun's killing of seven tribal leaders was quite shocking.  Coupled with the surrender of the Bujia tribe leader, the other tribes did not dare to have any ideas.

    For each tribe, Zhao Xun¡¯s various actions have harmed their interests.  However, Zhao Jun also relaxed the restrictions on business and trade, which also allowed them to make a lot of money. For this reason, they also calmed down their resentment a little even though they were unable to resist.

    The reason why trade restrictions were relaxed was to allow nobles and leaders of various tribes to enter the southern Zhao land to trade and form caravans.  It was because they handed over the tribe's military and taxation rights, and also provided many soldiers and fine war horses to the Zhao army.

    When Zhao Xun arrived at Xiazhou, in addition to the Turks who were worried, there were two other people who were also worried.  One was Situ Fei, the governor of Liangzhou, who was dozens of people nearby, and the other was Situ Lei, the King of Yong who was stationed in Yizhou.

    Needless to say, Situ Fei, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and XiazhouAll connected.  Zhao Jun can cross the border and fight at any time.  With his current ability, he simply cannot resist.  And the land of Liangzhou is also extremely unstable now.  The countries in the Western Regions to the west also began to harass the border areas frequently.  And internally, the Qiang and Hu tribes became increasingly arrogant and domineering.  In this regard, Situ Fei was also helpless.  After all, at this time, Yong's army was all focused on Qi, and Situ Lei had no time to care about the western part of Liangzhou and its interior.  In other words, even if Liangzhou is lost, as long as it can benefit from the south, it will be more worthwhile.

    Although Situ Fei was unwilling to do so, after all, it was Situ Lei who was in charge of the Yong Army.  Therefore, after receiving the order from Situ Lei to mobilize troops, he still gritted his teeth and mobilized a lot of Liangzhou's troops.

    And Situ Lei, who is in Yizhou, is even more worried about the situation in the north.  Of course, Situ Lei was not worried about Liangzhou.  But Yongzhou, the land of Chang'an in the west of Yongzhou.

    You must know that the center of gravity of Yong's army is now in the south, but the center of power is in Luoyang, Yongzhou.  One south and one east, the important connection point in the middle is the old capital of Chang'an.

    If Chang'an is captured by the Zhao army, then the Yong army will be divided into two, and they will not be able to deal with each other in the end.  Immediately afterwards, the entire Yongzhou will be lost, and the Great Yan Kingdom will be captured.

    Although no one paid much attention to this emperor or the capital.  However, once it was lost from the hands of Yong Jun.  Then, Situ Lei understood that Yong's army would be unable to reverse the inevitable defeat.

    Therefore, while Situ Lei slowed down his actions in Qidu, he urgently sent people to pay attention to Zhao Jun's situation and collect Zhao Xun's current movements.  Be prepared to turn back for rescue at any time, and of course, strictly order Chang'an and other places to prepare for defense.
