Chapter 1430 Support Wanyan Department?
"A little wisdom is not enough!" Zhao Pu said modestly.

"It's great wisdom to be able to share my worries!" Emperor Liu said with a chuckle, and Brick looked at the complete map of the Han Dynasty hanging in the palace all the year round, and his eyes fell directly on the northeast corner.

"Go, find out the detailed atlas of Northeast China, I want to see it!" Emperor Liu ordered to Yantuo.

"Yes!"

Yan Tuo left at his command, and there were many books, pictures, and memorials in the Chuigong Hall, which can be regarded as a small database, which can be consulted by Emperor Liu at any time.Yan Tuo was very efficient, and quickly found out, and respectfully helped Emperor Liu spread out on the imperial case.

Of course, the so-called detailed map of Northeast China is still relatively rough, not because of the level of cartography, but because of the lack of a lot of information. Due to the limitations of practical factors, it is impossible to have on-the-spot investigation and measurement like the core territory of the Han Dynasty.

A lot of geographical information was sorted out through historical materials and atlases seized by the Han army from Liaoyang, and a general situation was just outlined. Even so, the Northeast geographical map owned by the imperial court is the most advanced and complete at present.

Emperor Liu lowered his head to study the detailed map of the Northeast's geographical situation. It marked the forces in the vast area north and east of Huanglong Mansion relatively clearly. !"

The turmoil in the Northeast region, as the follow-up of the Han-Liao War, has been turmoiled for almost a year. Even now, although it has not subsided and looks like a mess, there is actually a thread to follow.

Outside of the Huanglong Mansion, the tribes were numerous and complex, and they could basically be divided into four categories: the Shiwei tribes, the Jurchen tribes, the traitors of the Liao Kingdom, and those uncivilized barbaric tribes.

These large and small tribal forces, after a year of mutual attack and annexation, have basically formed their respective spheres of influence.

The Jurchens have the widest distribution range. Strictly speaking, the Wanyan tribe is not a particularly powerful tribe, but its cohesion is relatively strong.The most important thing is to see the opportunity quickly. The northeastern tribes who defected to the imperial court earlier were also rewarded by Emperor Liu. Compared with other forces, they had an upper hand.

As for the Wanyan Department, although it has also developed and expanded in this major reshuffle of Northeast forces, its strength has actually declined a lot due to the disastrous defeat of Huanglong Mansion last year and the subsequent attack by the Liao Army. .

In addition, the northwest direction of its headquarters is the activity area of ​​the Tulubushiwei tribe, and there are also conflicts between the two tribes. Therefore, the current situation of the Wanyan tribe is not too good.The Jurchen Wanyan Tribe, which occupies a part of the Huntong River Basin, is actually surrounded by powerful enemies. In addition to Shiwei, the surrounding Dalugu and other tribes also had conflicts in the follow-up competition for territory and population.

Even so, this time Ma Renyu sent troops north to attack Huanglong Mansion, Wanyan Bahai also selected [-] strong men from the tribe, went south to assist in the battle, and cooperated with the attack.Completely behaved like a loyal subject of a big man and obedient to the people. If it were another emperor, he might be moved to tears by this Wanyan Nuzhen.

Facing Emperor Liu's question, Zhao Pu smiled, and habitually praised him first: "Your Majesty is wise, and his eyes are like torches. I will see through this cunning immediately!"

Then he calmly said: "Your Majesty, I also have some understanding of the current distribution of tribal forces in the Northeast. Hundreds of miles to the north of the Wanyan tribe, it was the territory of the original Khitan Tieli tribe. It is based on it. The imperial court bestowed Wanyan with the Jiangbei region and asked him to take it himself, which can fulfill His Majesty's promise, and if the Wanyan tribe goes north, the imperial court can also use this to slightly curb the expansion of the Shiwei tribe!"

"That's a good idea!" Emperor Liu nodded, but he didn't show too much excitement, but said with a little doubt: "It's just that such intentions are too obvious. Judging from Wanyan Bahai's previous cunning, he may not Can't see, he can follow Zhao Qing's idea and compete with Shi Wei? After all, right now, Shi Wei is strong, Wanyan is weak, and the enemy is strong with the weak, how would he be so unwise?"

Facing Emperor Liu's slight questioning, Zhao Pu was not surprised, and said plainly, "Your Majesty, because of Wanyan Bahai's cunning, he has ambitions and intentions to expand, otherwise he would not have done it before. He would actively seek refuge in the imperial court and raise troops to rebel against the Liao Dynasty. This time, he took the initiative to ask for the land of Huanglong Mansion, which is enough to prove his ambition.

The imperial court bestowed the land of Tieli, even though this person is calm and sensible and not tempted, but with this feeling in front of him, he must be thinking about it, after all, it is a fief granted by the imperial court.

Perhaps due to limited strength, if he can hold back for a while, how can he hold it in for a lifetime?Outside of Huanglong Mansion, although it is very bitter and cold, for these tribes who have hunted here for generations, it is a place of wealth and wealth, how can they not be tempted?

The land of Iron Li is like a dog bone thrown by the court, which will inevitably attract the clans of Shi Wei and Jurchen to fight!If two dogs compete for food, the court will be safe!Even if they don't fight, the imperial court can push from the side! "

"Zhao Qing is trying to conspire!" Emperor Liu said with emotion.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Pu continued: "Compared to Shiwei, the Wanyan tribe may be weaker, but because of this, Wanyan Bahai is more dependent on the imperial court, and only with the imperial court behind them can they be in the Huntong River Basin." Stand, develop, grow!"

"You mean, you want the imperial court to support the Wanyan Department to balance the situation in the Northeast?" Hearing Zhao Pu's eloquent talk, Emperor Liu couldn't help but frown, as if he had some doubts.

Zhao Pu also noticed it, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of my ministers, among the tribes in the Northeast, the Wanyan tribe is the most suitable force to support and be used by the court.

Outside of Huanglong Mansion, the territory is too large, the terrain is poor, and the tribal situation is complicated. It is almost impossible for the imperial court to completely rule them.

However, if you want to keep it safe for a long time, you should take certain balancing measures among the northeastern tribes. Since Shiwei is big, you should suppress it.In order to avoid the burden of the court, it is also feasible to cultivate some tribes that are close to and loyal to the court! "

After Zhao Pu spoke, he lowered his hands, looking at his nose and heart, not nervous at all, waiting for Emperor Liu's decision.The others didn't say anything, but Emperor Liu subconsciously stroked his beard, thought carefully for a long time, and finally asked: "What if the Wanyan tribe gets bigger by this? Compared with other tribes, this kind of power that accepts the support of the court is even stronger. A developmental breakthrough is possible.

When he keeps his own law and order, he may be an obedient minister of the court, but if he suddenly has a different heart, his ambitions increase, and he turns his back on the court, how much will the court pay to destroy the enemies it has supported? "

Regarding this question, before Zhao Pu could say anything, Shi Shouxin opened his mouth, calmly and forcefully said: "If Shi Wei is big, then Shi Wei will be suppressed. If the Wanyan Department is big, the imperial court will naturally be able to attack the same. If you dare to turn your back on the imperial court, then we will You have to pay the price of the Yi tribe! The imperial court can support a Wanyan tribe, and naturally it can also support other tribes!"

As he said that, Shi Shouxin gave Emperor Liu a look of surprise, as if he was wondering, with Emperor Liu's wisdom, how could he not even think of this.

Emperor Liu's tense face finally relaxed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled a little. His doubts almost came from an instinct. He was both a Jurchen and a perfect face, so how could he not hesitate in his heart.

However, if you think about it carefully, what about Wanyan Jurchen, now is the era of the big man.If the big man is strong, everything will be safe, but if the big man has a problem with himself, even if there is no Wanyan Jurchen, there will be other forces and other enemies.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Liu showed a determined expression, and looked at Zhao Pu: "Let's arrange this matter according to Zhao Qing's wishes! Ma Renyu can allocate part of the money, food and military equipment from Liaodong to Wanyan Bahai as a gift. A thank you from me.

As for the others, let's see the situation and talk about it later.Although the Northeast needs a balanced situation, it can't involve too much energy from the imperial court!In addition, let him Wanyan Bahai come to Beijing, isn't he loyal to the court?Zhao Qing also said that Yan Bu is available, so let me meet him first and see if he dares to come! "

"Yes!"

Obviously, Emperor Liu still had doubts about supporting the Wanyan Department.
