Chapter 489 General Staff

Shanbao does have other tasks.

However, it was just after striving to convince Shanshan and Shaanxi Marquis to go to Jiangnan to find the Zhou court.

His travel mission this time was very heavy, and it was actually a preliminary attempt by the Jurchens to establish a surround of Qi.

Xu Shiyang's Jurchen encirclement put a lot of pressure on the princes of the Wanyan family, and they naturally thought of following the example and surrounding Qi.

The first step in this action was to convince Jamukha that Shanbao had done well.

Next was to convince Shanshan and Shaanxi Shihou, who felt that Shanbao was sure.

The reason is: The Shanxi Marquis of Shanxi and Shaanxi defected to the Mongolians for more than 20 years ago was not a real country. The grassland Tartars would not rule the country at all, so in fact, the agency rule system was implemented over the generation of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

To put it more clearly, Shanshan Shihou is a tax-bearer among the Mengwu people!

For the Mengwu people, as long as Shihou could give the Khan on the grassland 1.3 million pounds of money every year, the Mengwu people would not care about how they ruled Shanxi and Shaanxi.

In other words, the 13-family marquis of the Thirteen Family have been the local emperor for twenty years!

Shanbao had no doubt that this group of people could no longer adapt to the days when there was a strong regime in charge, which was the basis for persuading the Shihou family to rebel against Qi.

As for the Great Zhou in the south, Shanbao was a little unsure.

After being separated by Qi State, the connection between the Jin and the Zhou State was completely cut off. The princes did not know the character of the new emperor, but felt that this guy supported the pro-war faction and would probably not participate in the anti-Qi State encirclement.

However, if Emperor Longdao can consider issues based on his own interests, then there will be a chance to protect this trip:

The Jurchens were no longer able to destroy the Great Zhou, but Qi State had this ability, and a civil war between Zhou and Qi would sooner or later occur between the Han people.

Shanbao only hopes that Emperor Longdao, the Han people, can see this.

As for the terms of peace talks that Dajin had opened for Dazhou, when Shanbao came, the three princes Bo Jilie once gave him the following:

The main purpose is to comprehensively revise the previous Jin Zhou peace treaties. The Great Zhou no longer submits to the Great Jin, and the Great Zhou emperor no longer treats the Great Jin emperor with his sons and nephews.

On the contrary, the Jin emperor could submit to the Great Zhou, and sent tribute envoys to the Great Zhou every year to pay tribute to the Great Zhou emperor:

There are 10 pairs of white sables, 10 pairs of black sables, two pieces of bear skin, one piece of tiger skin, and hundreds of jin of ginseng.

Moreover, the Jin Kingdom supported the Great Zhou's action to regain Jiangbei's hometown, and the two countries used Shanhaiguan as the boundary.

In exchange, the Great Zhou should support the Jin Dynasty's actions to recover southern Liao and Liaodong, and denounce the atrocities of the local government of the Qi King in Liaodong.

At the same time, he was given back 300,000 stones of gold grain and 200,000 stagnant of gold every year.

Merchants from both countries communicate with each other.

In general, it is to give enough face and make enough money.

Although the Jin gave Zhou a little, he was called a tribute.

Although Zhou gave a lot of gold, it was given to him.

The Jin Kingdom was even willing to help Emperor Longdao create a prosperous scene for all nations to come to worship. If Emperor Longdao was as vain as his ancestors, he would have liked it.

If an agreement can be reached, the biggest gap in the anti-Qi encirclement network can be blocked. The Dazhou, which occupies the name of Dayi, should be able to restrain a large part of the Qi army in the southern part of Qi Province.

In addition, 500,000 yuan of grain each year is of great significance to the resumption of production of Dajin.

Finally..., haha, if Qi State was really attacked by Jin, Meng, and surrounding areas, then according to the border division, Jamukha and Dazhou would definitely compete for control of Hebei Province and even Qi Province.

As for Dajin, you can just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight with the money and grain "given" by the Zhou people.

Is there any chance? There is always a chance.

Right?

...

At this time, Xu Shiyang didn't know that the Jurchens were trying to establish an anti-encirclement net against themselves.

He just continued to prepare for the upcoming winter offensive step by step.

While continuously transporting troops and supplies to southern Liaoning, the General Staff hopes that Xu Shiyang can carry out a preliminary task of deceiving the enemy.

The idea of ​​the General Staff is:

In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Shiyang, the commander of the entire army, may be the backbone of the Qi army, and he should be wherever he is.

But in fact, Xu Shiyang is not very effective.

After proposing a strategic plan and completing the general framework of the plan, the staff members suddenly found that the current Commander-in-Chief Xu Shiyang stayed in the staff department and made no sense in formulating the details of the implementation of the specific plan, and it was even a bit hindered...

Therefore, someone tentatively proposed that the commander go to Hebei Province to inspect with great fanfare, so as to make it known to everyone in the world, so as not to expose the true strategic intentions and attack time of the Qi army.

To put it simply, this task is to tell Xu Shiyang:

Don’t be in this way, can you play on your own?

Xu Shiyang agreed happily in this regard.

Perhaps other commanders of this era will feel that the General Staff gave him such tasks as disrespect for himself, and may even have the possibility of snatching up the shift and seizing power.

But Xu Shiyang, a time traveler, has a completely different perspective on the problem.

Xu Shiyang was even very pleased that the General Staff dared to give orders to him - this institution that had been formed with great effort finally grew into a strong military core that existed for victory, rather than simply being his own voice-over!

This means that in the future, China no longer needs its so-called "the world's number one general". The work that professional professional officers can complete is far beyond the limits that all famous generals can do!

Even if there is a flash of arrow hit Xu Shiyang in the head immediately, Qi Jun will not collapse, because the real brain of Qi Jun has now become the General Staff.

This is a gratifying change from the commander's decision-making model to the officers' regiment's decision-making model, and Xu Shiyang will of course be happy.

Therefore, he was not disgusted with the fact that the General Staff regarded himself as the commander-in-chief as a prop to deceive the enemy. Instead, he happily ran to Shuntian Prefecture according to the General Staff's requirements.

After arriving at Shuntian Prefecture, Xu Shiyang immediately summoned local officials and announced in public that he had begun to select a site for the new Qi Palace.

Some young officials were very puzzled. The Schönbrunn Palace in Spring City has not been completed yet, so why has the construction of a new palace started?

Xu Shiyang's explanation is:

As a capital city, Quancheng is a temporary measure from a historical, cultural, political and military perspective.

With the rapid development of Qi's economic strength, it is out of place for King Qi to continue to command the national operation in Quancheng. Therefore, this time he came to Shuntian Prefecture to build this place as the core of the government of Qi in the next stage.

Since it is the seat of the government and the capital in fact, it is natural to build a royal palace first so that the King of Qi can take over.

The reason why the new capital was chosen in Shuntian Prefecture was because it was a geographical intersection.

For example, it connects Liaodong to the north, Mengwu to the north, it is very close to Shanxi and Shaanxi to the west, and to the south, it is the core territory of Qi, Hebei Province and Qi Province. It can also go directly to the sea from Tianjin to the east, and the geographical location is very favorable.
