Wang Miao also agreed with Jiang Feng's point of view.

Jiang Feng started his family for too short, and he basically relied on the army to establish his own door. To make such a huge army return, he had to give this army enough benefits and thoughts to keep them with Jiang Feng. So what should the original owners of the interests do?

It is impossible for everyone to be included in the military aristocrats. Just the current situation of Daliang can make Jiang Feng understand that no matter how strong the army is, when your economic foundation begins to corrupt and degenerate, the army will inevitably become corrupt. Therefore, Jiang Feng can understand that Zhao Kuangyin's move to release military power in later generations cannot solve the problems of the military power faction and their own interests. Then it will either evolve into separatist vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty, or it will corrupt and collapse together like Daliang.

Zhao Kuangyin and his Northern Song Dynasty should have done a better job. Although the Northern Song Dynasty was beaten to pieces when facing the Khitan and Jurchens, there are many reasons. One of the reasons why Jiang Feng recognized himself as a top student in the history department is that when the southern farming nations transformed their technological advantages into military strength, they were not enough to suppress the maneuver advantage brought by the large-scale use of nomadic cavalry, you lost the geographical defense advantages of the Hebei Plain and Mongolian Plateau in the north, then the war would lose the initiative, and failure would be a high probability event.

The reason why the Han and Tang dynasties formed an overwhelming advantage over nomadic people was due to many factors, but it is undeniable that the overall strength was super strong, the northern geographical advantages were not lost, and the dynasty's enterprising spirit was still strong in the early stages. These aspects made the farming people have an advantage. However, when the advantage factors were lost one after another in the later stages of the dynasty, the maneuverability of the nomadic people would be transformed into active attacks, which would then become a strategic advantage.

In Jiang Feng's view, in order to maintain the advantageous position of the Central Plains dynasty over the northern nomadic Hu people, at present, he has not yet completely gained an advantage in overall strength and is even at a disadvantage in military strength. It is necessary to seize the advantage of geographical advantages. It is urgent to control the North China Plain. He knows that the historical trend is difficult to change by a small butterfly like himself. The Khitans expanded faster than expected, so he must control the Heshuo area before the Khitans head south, use Heshuo as a buffer, and ensure the safe development of his hinterland.

It is absurd to pin hope on a river and water trench, especially since the Shatuo people have entered the Central Plains. Even if Jiang Feng does not think that the Shatuo people have the ability to go against the will of heaven and change their destiny, this is also the first step for the Hu people to step into the Central Plains. With this first step of practice, perhaps the second step of the Khitans or Dangxiang people will be taken.

Therefore, Jiang Feng hopes to move the front forward and advance to Heshuo, so that Heshuo becomes the main battlefield for his confrontation with the Khitans, and uses Pinglu, Ziqing and Tianping as the base of advance, and build Xuzhou and Huaiyou into their own core guarantee areas, and use this progressive strategy to ensure the stability of his regime and not lose his vitality if he fails in a battle.

To "renovate" these local gentry, we must find more common interests.

In history, the Northern Song Dynasty found some solutions, such as developed industry and commerce, which attracted a large number of military generals and gentry forces in the Northern Song Dynasty to industry and commerce, but the more important thing was commerce.

Now Jiang Feng believes that he may be able to do more and better at this point. Xuzhou's iron smelting industry, Haizhou's salt smelting industry, Shouzhou's ceramic industry, Xuzhou and Shouzhou's tea industry have begun to appear, and these industries can be further subdivided and developed in the next step.

With the significant increase in steel production, the industrial chain it brings will continue to expand and many related industries will be derived.

Jiang Feng was still very confident at this point, which could not only divert the attention of these gentry on the land, but also digest the increasing population and labor force to a certain extent.

On this point, Jiang Feng and Chen Wei and Wang Miao, who have the most consistent views, have discussed it many times. Only by cultivating a large number of beneficiary classes can one consolidate one's own rule and at the same time attract new industries and new commodities to meet the needs of people of different classes. In a word, to apply Jiang Feng's popular words before this era, that is, innovation, or creating new needs. Of course, this will be a long-term process.

In order to ensure that this goal can be achieved, the first thing to do is to ensure the stability of its own regime is that Jiang Feng accepted Wang Miao's proposal to establish a solid frontier position in Heshuo. The war with the Khitans should be limited to Heshuo as much as possible, and should not affect Pinglu, nor should it spread to Wuning and Huaiyou.

To achieve this, financial support is still difficult with the current situation of the Xuzhou General Administration, so there is another strategy to seize Xuanzhou, Chuzhou or even Yangzhou, use the south to support the northern war, and use the south to support the war in the north.

Needless to say, the prosperity of Chu and Yang prefectures is that even in the inconspicuous Xuanzhou in Jiangnan, it has huge copper ore resources, copper smelting and money making industry, and a huge paper industry. In addition, it is the largest state among the two provinces in Jiangnan. It is also quite developed in agriculture. One state can afford to get the benefits of three or four states in Heshuo. It is no wonder that people are worried about it.

"Okay, Xiaolang, you can just know the strategy of the North and South. There is no conclusion yet, but the war between the North and the Central Plains is always difficult to avoid. We need to carefully summarize the experience of each war. It is the first time that the heavy cavalry is on the battlefield. It needs detailed situations. This will help us use troops in the North and the Central Plains in the future." Wang Miao took back his feelings, "You can connect with Dalang and see what the prince has to ask for the battle in Songcheng."

The staff system is increasingly established in the Xuzhou army. At the military level, a staff system must be established. One or two staff members are established in one army, and the town must set up a staff office. The staff member has as many as fifteen people, and it will be divided into several groups to provide staff for the training, command, intelligence collection and analysis, tactical planning, etc. of the town's army.

But from the current perspective, this system can only be said to be formal. The chief officers of each town and army have not truly accepted this system. Wang Miao also hopes to use this photo to summarize and promote it.

Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.

"Mother, the Tuyuhun people sent their Princess Mulan to the south." Yelu Deguang looked tired and knelt aside. He had just reached thirty-four and had been taking over the throne of the Great Khitan Khan for almost ten years. Although he had strong support from his mother, he was not quiet along the way.

"Hmph, the damn Tuyuhun slave, you should have taken her off the last time that slave came." The woman sitting cross-legged on the head was still dressed in Uighurs. Even in the Khitan Khan Court, she never shy away from her Uighur origin.

"Mother, that's not in accordance with etiquette. Didn't the Han people say that the two countries would fight to fight and not beheaded? What's more, it's a woman." Yelu Deguang shook his head, "The Shatuo people are very fierce, no wonder the Tuyuhun people can't sit still."

"Will the big beam collapse this time?" The woman was naturally Yelu Deguang's mother Shuluping. The Shulu family from the Uighurs has always been the most loyal ally of the Khitan Yelu tribe, and Shuluping also married his cousin Yelu Abaoji.

Shuluping has always disliked her eldest son Yelu Bei, and she prefers her youngest son Yelu Lihu. But she also knew that although her youngest son Yelu Lihu had excellent martial arts talent and was known as the first genius in the Great Khitan, she lacked enough talent in politics and being a general. She was only in her early twenties and could not take over the position of Khan before her two brothers. Therefore, Shuluping finally supported her second son Yelu Deguang to take over as Khan. Her only hope was that her second son would be able to pass on the throne in the future.

"It's hard to say. The detailed works we sent to the Central Plains all said that Daliang's situation was very bad, and the interior was already in chaos. The river from Bianliang to Xuzhou was full of ships filled with wealth and women, and they were busy fleeing to Xuzhou." Yelu Deguang took a breath, "In this case, no matter how many troops there were in Daliang, it would be impossible for him to defeat the Shatuo people. Zhu Xie Cunhou took up all the right time, place, and people."

"Everyone has gone to Xuzhou. Even if the Shatuo people captured Bianjing, what can they get?"

Shuluping was not very concerned about the situation in the Han area in the south. She was more concerned about the threats of the other eight Khitan tribes to the position of her son Khan, and even the dissatisfaction of her eldest son.

"Mother, I'm afraid that the Shatu people may not retreat to Hedong this time. Luoyang was occupied by them. Now if they take down Bianjing again, they will get most of the Shatu people in the Central Plains, and no one can cure these Shatu people." Yelu Deguang vented a little depressed: "Didn't the Han people always look down on the Shatu people? Didn't they always claim to be in the same spirit? Why do they sit and watch the Shatu people be so rampant?"

"Are you planning to let the Tuyuhun people attack the rear of the Shatu people?" Shuluping's attention finally turned to his son's question.

Although she didn't know much about the situation of the Han area in the south, she also knew that Chang'an, Bianjing and Luoyang were the three largest prosperous cities in the Central Plains, and it was also the pride of the Han people. Chang'an was the main court of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, but now it has declined, while Bianjing and Luoyang are the territory of the Han people who dominate the Central Plains, the strong vassal of Daliang. Now they are all occupied by the Shatuo people?

"Bai Chengfu will not listen to us. He has put all his thoughts on preventing us. He sent envoys to the south to win over the newly emerging Han forces in the south."
