Unparalleled Concubine

At any time, the nomads in the north are the greatest enemy and threat of the Central Plains Dynasty.

None of the firearms that Li Xin has produced can fundamentally restrain the Xianbei people. Among them, the deadliest thing is mobility. Those prairie cavalry are very different from the infantry in the Central Plains. Go ahead, with the mobility of the northern frontier army, it is impossible to catch up.

Besides, the firearm with the longest range is the newly released firecracker. However, this thing basically does not have any advantage in the face of nomadic bows and arrows. The long reloading time even makes the firecracker basically There is no practical significance.

The Ming Dynasty in Li Xin's world had far better firearms than the current Southwest Army. However, not only did Daming have no advantage in the face of cold weapons, but in the end, the country was even subjugated by the fishing and hunting people who mostly used cold weapons.

Therefore, even Li Xin, who has the power of the imperial court, has never given up his vigilance against the Xianbei people. This time, the news from northern Xinjiang greatly inspired him.

Even if the results of the battle in the north stop here, Mu Ying failed to stop the Xianbei king's tent from moving north, and the Xianbei people have already suffered a lot, even to the point of lingering, and it will take at least two or thirty years to recover. Jin frontier will not have any worries.

Li Xin is only in his 30s now, so living for 30 to 30 years is definitely not a problem. As long as he doesn't have any problems and doesn't have a big change in temperament, Xianbei people after [-] to [-] years will never have any chance.

With this good news in his hand, Li Xin couldn't hide his excitement even in his city, and immediately said in a deep voice to the people in the Hou's mansion beside him: "Go and invite Prime Minister Zhao over, I have something important to discuss with him!"

Li Shuo was originally sitting opposite Li Xin, but immediately got up when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "My brother wants to discuss political affairs with Zhao Xiang, so it is inconvenient for me to mix in here. I have been away from home for more than a month, and I am going home to have a look. look."

Li Xin also stood up, nodded to Li Shuo and said, "You have worked hard during this period, go back and rest for a few days, and then there is..."

After a pause, Li Xin said: "The boy in your family is over seven years old this year. If you don't plan to let him study for scientific examinations, you can send him to the Shenji Academy I run."

"Of course, the child belongs to you. You don't want him to learn, and I won't force you to. It's up to you and your husband to decide."

Li Xin's own son Li Ping, because of his special status and inconvenient status, can only be named in the Shenji Academy, and it is not convenient to go to study in person, but Li Shuo's son has no such worries. Let him go to the Shenji Academy to study, and he can bring a A large number of "second-generation officials" or "second-generation generals" entered the Shenji School.

These people will be the backbone of the imperial court in the future. With them entering the school, the seeds sown by Li Xin will germinate quickly.

Of course, when it will bloom and bear fruit is God's will, and it is not up to Li Xin to decide.

In addition, the proportion of these rich and powerful children entering the Shenji Academy must be strictly controlled. The future positioning of these people is to expand the influence of the Shenji Academy, and the real ability to make this seed blossom and bear fruit depends on a large number of people. Children from poor families.

Li Shuo immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Elder brother is his uncle, so naturally he can arrange his studies. When I go back to rest for a few days, I will personally send him to my elder brother's Shenji Academy to study."

Li Dadu nodded.

"Don't worry, my school will not humiliate this child."

Li Shuo saluted Li Xin respectfully, then stood up and said goodbye.

About half an hour after he left, Zhao Jia, who was still wearing an official uniform, hurried from the Shangshutai to the Jing'an Hou Mansion. After meeting Li Xin, he cupped his hands and said to Li Xin: "The governor is so anxious to call the officer down. Come on, I don't know if it is..."

Li Xin pulled him to sit down in his study, then took out the letter sent by Beijiang from his sleeve, and smiled: "Northern Xinjiang's good news, let's pass it to Prime Minister Zhao first."

After Zhao Jia opened the letter and glanced up and down, a smile appeared on his face immediately. He looked up at Li Xin and swallowed uncontrollably.

"Great governor... the Xianbei tribe has suffered heavy losses, and there is no need to worry about the future in northern Xinjiang!"

He looked up at Li Xin with eager eyes, and what he thought in his heart was self-evident.

What he meant was that there was no longer any hindrance.

Li Xin smiled wryly and said: "Brother You'an has always been calm, why is he so anxious when he mentioned this matter? I invited you here not to discuss whether there is any obstacle, but to discuss with you the matter of the Anbei Protectorate."

When the dynasty of the Central Plains is away from the prosperity, a Protectorate will be set up in a relatively remote place.

The establishment of the Protectorate's Mansion means that the place is under the administration of the imperial court in name, but in fact there will still be many foreigners, and there is no way to drive them away. However, the imperial court will station troops in the Protectorate's Mansion to resist foreign invaders and deter the local people. The "Zhufan".

In this agricultural era, the "frontier" areas outside the Central Plains dynasty were generally barren land. The establishment of the Protectorate was not for the land, but to prevent the local "fans" from rebelling.

This stuff is usually a waste of money.

Now, the Xianbei tribe has been seriously injured, and even if the Xianbei king's account is not stopped by Muying, it is impossible to compete with the court again, and the establishment of the Anbei Protectorate has become a matter of course.

Although most of the Protectorate's Mansion doesn't make money, Li Xin has a way to make money for the Protectorate's Mansion.

Only then did Zhao Jia come to his senses, and he bowed his head a little embarrassedly and said, "This matter involves my own body, I'm out of proportion."

He took a few deep breaths, calmed down quickly, and asked, "What the governor means is, who will be the guardian of the Anbei Protectorate Mansion?"

"Of course it's Chen Guogong Ye Mao."

Li Xin said without hesitation: "He has made great contributions, and he has stayed in northern Xinjiang for so long, so he should be the guardian of the Anbei Governor's Mansion."

"There is no need to discuss the position of this guardian. I asked Brother You'an to come here because I wanted Brother You'an to select some officials from the imperial court and send them to the north as the head of the Anbei Protectorate. In addition, after the establishment of the Anbei Protectorate In the past, these border towns in Jizhou and Yunzhou no longer need to worry about being harassed by barbarians, and there are many missing officials in these places, and the court needs to make up for them as soon as possible, so that the local people can live again."

Zhao Jia nodded and said: "For this matter, I will go back to Shangshutai to discuss the specific candidate with my colleagues later, but the post of the Protector of the Anbei Protectorate..."

The minister's right servant paused for a moment before continuing.

"Chen Guogong is upright, loyal and brave. He is the first protector of the Anbei Protectorate, and the subordinate officials naturally have no objection."

Zhao Jia lowered his head slightly and continued.

"However, Ye Guogong can be the first, but the Ye family cannot inherit the position of the guardian, otherwise there may be troubles in the future."

He frowned and said: "Although I am also from the Ye family, I can't speak for the Ye family at this time. Although the area of ​​the Anbei Protectorate Mansion is not demarcated, it must be a very large place. This position cannot be handed over to the Ye family forever. Otherwise, there will be troubles in the future!"

"In my opinion, starting from the second Protector General after Ye Guogong, according to the rules in the pass, it is better to serve every six years."

Li Xin nodded, and said silently: "Brother You'an is right, the position of the guardian is indeed not hereditary."

"Regarding the matter of the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion, Shangshutai will give a charter as soon as possible and send it to me."

Zhao Jia cupped his hands respectfully.

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Chapter 1172 The Cunning People of Jin (Supplement)

Throughout the dynasties, the dynasties that were able to be imprisoned in the capital protection mansion were all very prosperous dynasties. Therefore, setting up the capital protection mansion is an extremely glorious event for the officials of the court and the people of the whole country. thing.

Therefore, the decision to establish the Anbei Protectorate was implemented as quickly as possible.

In just a few days, the procedures of each yamen have been completed, and the Ministry of Officials is already in the process of selecting officials to be sent to the Anbei Protectorate.

At the same time, the northern border of the Jin Dynasty,

The main force of the Helan tribe was lured by the Xianbei king's tent to the position designated by the Zhenbei Army, and then the two hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion brought to the north by Ye Mao detonated the gunpowder already buried there, blowing up the formation of the Helan tribe, Afterwards, Ye Mao personally led the troops into the battle, and with the cooperation of the Xianbei king's tent, it took only two days to wipe out the main force of the Helan tribe.

The main force of the Helan tribe was wiped out, and their tribes were naturally unable to escape the disaster. The other Xianbei tribes took the opportunity to occupy the horse farms and pastures of the Helan tribe, not to mention the people from the Wangzhang and Zhenbei Army rushed directly to the big tent of the Helan tribe , Captured the high-ranking members of the Helan tribe and Yu Wentao, the head of the Helan tribe.

Ye Mao handed over the senior officials of the Helan tribe to Yu Wenhu and others to deal with, and he brought the patriarch Yu Wentao back to Jizhou City, and planned to send them to the capital to hand over to Li Xin to vent his anger.

The Helan tribe, the most powerful among the Yuwen tribes, was knocked down from the sky into the dust in just two or three days.

It is worth mentioning here that the reason why the Zhenbei Army was able to "destroy" the main force of the Helan tribe so smoothly this time, and then found their big tent, was not because of how powerful the Zhenbei Army was, but more important reasons Yes, the Xianbei king's tent sent an "internal traitor" who was very familiar with the terrain and the Helan tribe to lead the way. Otherwise, even if the Zhenbei Army destroyed the main force of the Helan tribe, they might not be able to find the real big tent of the Helan tribe.

Even if you find it, you may not be able to catch up.
