Zhang Li and Gao Yao Kang walked on the official road leading to Lingzhou City, and behind him was a large group of Tianshi and Lingzhou military attachés.The back of the iron ride is a huge team, which is really powerful.

On both sides of the official road are golden rice fields, and farmers in Lingzhou are hand-cut in the field wearing buckets.Watch their supreme lord Gao Yaokang pass with the iron rider.These dark farmers, all the atmosphere dare not take a mouthful.Wherever they pass, both men and women bow down to the official road!

Such a scene in the countryside of the Great Zhou Republic, and in the countryside of the nation of the thirteen states, is inconceivable!

Although the Great Zhou Republic has a large number of feudal remnants, there are setbacks in some aspects compared to the Northern Song Dynasty.But the lord of the Great Week was not the feudal lord.

They have only the right to use the estate—at the price of military service, and no feudal power to the tyrants and maids below.

Moreover, the fiss and maids of the Great Zhou Republic have an unimpeded upward road, although they will not become the "county public security chief" in one step, but there are still many opportunities to become citizens, or enter the big city to become a rich common people, or go to sea to risk a rich fortune.

In addition, the Zhou IRA is now an army in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons.In this era, the status of knights began to decline, the role of infantry began to rise, and excellent professional officers became the real core of the army.

Therefore, the military strength of the Grand Zhou Republic is actually based on the professional officers (most of the knighthood) from the military academy as the core, with infantry and artillery as the main force.

Under these circumstances, the knights of the Great Zhou Republic could not become feudal lords, but only the small aristocratic farmers.

As for the nation of the thirteen states, although there are monarchs and nobles, there will never be such a handsome feudal order, and people are liberalized by the bourgeoisie!

But here in Lingzhou, after more than 20 years of evolution, a feudal knight (samurai) class has emerged!

It is not surprising that Lingzhou is the place where Xixia is, and there is no concept of equality.

The foreign Gao regime also had to fight against the imperial court and the inner Xia Xia remnant.The only thing that can be relied upon is to follow the warriors who have settled in Lingzhou and the knights of the Western Army and the Hedong Army.

Therefore, in the Gaojun era, the status and privileges of the Lingzhou knights far exceeded the boundary river knights (later the Zhou National Knights).After Gao Yaokang ascended to power, in order to appease the frightened Lingzhou Knights Group, he had to give them more privileges and land!

At the same time, the Lingzhou provincial army class because of the defeat of the high army, the vitality of the injury (compared with the knights, the wealth and scale of the family are relatively small, the risk tolerance is also poor), gradually dying.

Therefore, when it was announced and six years ago, Lingzhou, like the cool country, established a feudal rule with knights as the backbone.

About 1,000 knights were subservisted to the Gauteng regime, occupied two-thirds of the land in Lingzhou, and directly ruled the people in the estate at the expense of the high government's military service.Through these 1,000 knight families, the Gauteng regime can concentrate more than 3,000 armored cavalry and the same number of auxiliary soldiers at any time.

The remaining one-third of the land is occupied by the Gauts family, and the proceeds are used for the day-to-day expenses of maintaining the Gao regime.

Under such a system, the working people of Lingzhou needless to say, but of course, they become like serfs.

Of course, the serfs could not look at their master Gao Yaokang in a big way!

"Heavenly son," Gao Yao Kang, who had long been accustomed to being high, did not look at the serfs who saluted him, but spoke to the rule of mind, "now the official residence is Chang'an, and I, as a subject, should naturally go to see."By the way, look at the situation in Chang'an, if the retro party's set can be implemented in the gate, then we can't make it.If the greatness of Guan Long is not convinced by the retro law, the trouble will rise, huh?”

“Oh” means, of course, it’s not a good thing.

After completing the transition to feudalization, the Lingzhou Gao regime, like the Xiliangtian Catholic regime, had a strong expansion.

As for whether to follow the West Song to find opportunities for external expansion, or to target the Western Song, we must look at the situation of the Western Song retro.

The reason nodded, "I will let Fengming Mountain go with you, and bring 3,000 Xiji horses with me, and go in the name of Gong Ma."

"All right!It’s not too late, I’ll get up and go!”Gao Yaokang smiled, “And see how he looks at the retroage?”

...

Just when Zhang Li and Gao Yao Kang agreed on the strategy for Song.Zhao Huan, the great Song official who has settled down in Chang'anfu City, is carrying his hand, was built in the last five generations of Tang Dynasty, and is now walking on the very dilapidated wall.

A middle-age official in a red robe followed behind him, gushing about what he was talking about.

“... His Majesty, as far as all knows, the present retro party members are divided into martial arts schools and literary schools.The Wuxue faction, all of whom are military attachés from the Wuxue Palace, advocate the rapid retroage and the forced distribution of Guanzhong land.The literary school is headed by the original retro six gentlemen, all of whom are literary ministers.They are in favor of reviving and not being forced to take over the land.The two groups of people began to quarrel on the way out of Kaifeng Province on the way to the west, and quarreled all the way to this place.Now it's even more confrontational, I don't know if it will be fought?"

To Zhao Huan reported the new trend towards the retro struggle, it is too Zai Cai.Together with Geng Nanzhong, he became the most trusted courtier of Zhao Huan.

That's right, Zhao Huan now believes both of them!At most, there is also a Duchenne that excavates the Yellow River Dam.

Du Chong is now the official Bai Jingxi, Hedong two roads to promote the ambassador, Tokyo left behind, sentenced Henan Province.It is the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Western Song army, against Wu Haogu's eldest son Wu Yiyong.

And Cai Zou and Geng Nanzhong each mastered the two provinces.

As for the retro gentleman and the retro soldier... it's too vicious!How could Zhao Huan be so small and not afraid?

These two groups had previously engaged in a coup d'état, killed and killed, incited the people to attack Xuandemen, and also mobilized the troops to Chen Feng Wanshengmen without authorization... It was simply the re-emerging of the Tang Dynasty's bunkers, and Zhao Huan believed that they were not brainless.

But Zhao Huan did not dare to move them now!

What a pity!

The great Song official's house, which should have been from the middle, has now become a light pole without a gun and a knife.

Of course, there is no gun, no knife more than Zhao Huan.Even the retro gentlemen who instigated the opening of the retro revolution accidentally lost the gun and knife.

The new army officers who ran to Chang'an Province now hold the unity party, forming a "military school" under the retro party, and the "literary school" with the retro gentleman as the core.

The reason for the opposition between the two factions is, on the surface, the progress of the retro change.

The martial arts school is radical, and it is best to divide the land in Guanzhong Plain.

The literary faction is conservative and advocates the prudent promotion of the junta system... As for how to advance, it needs to be long-term.

Of course, the differences in the progress of retro changes are only one of the reasons for the confrontation between the two factions.

"Sire," sighed Tai Zai Cai, "he has also heard that the martial arts school in the retro party also advocates the military-to-military army..."

“The military officer?”Zhao Huan said, “Isn’t the military attaché in charge now?”

“Shhh, they mean to give the military attachés in charge of the military and the Privy Council...”

“What?”Zhao Huan took a cold breath and looked back at Cai Zou, “The news is reliable?”

"It should be reliable," Cai Zou sighed, "the Wu school believes that the main reason for the defeat of Hebei and Hedong, in addition to too few troops, is that the military attaché can not fully assume the army."It is not possible to do this by force.”

Zhao Huan's tone was submissive: "Is it more impossible to be from the middle of the palace?"

“Did your majesty hear that too?”Cai smiled bitterly and nodded, "There is indeed this saying ... Wu School believes that the palace should not be directed by the middle, the plot of intervention."The military shall be entrusted with full authority to the Privy Council and the Military Department, and the Prime Minister in the palace shall only have to decide on the war and the general.”

“The opposite!The opposite!How dare they...” Zhao Huan also fainted.Of course, people are opposite, not against being the emperor now or Zhao Yi, where is his part?

“Son, angry, angry!”Cai said, "The literary people are against it ... so it has not yet been discussed in the court."

“Are they a bunch of nerds against being useful?”Zhao Huan even shook his head and said trembling, “Now the military power is in the hands of others!”

He was in a hurry now, not only in a hurry, but a little regret.There should be no support for the retro party at all, nor should the father be driven from the throne.

What now?

The two factions of the retro party are divided, and the martial arts school clearly wants to seize military power.If the military power is completely in the hands of the martial arts school, the life and death of the great Song official family will not be decided by a group of cultural Wufu?

"Sad," Cai Shuo was also helpless, and had to comfort Zhao Huan, "the literary school is still facing, it should be able to hold up for a while."

The key now is to see when Zhao Ding and Zongying can ship gold and silver.With money, the army can temporarily calm down.There is also a way to buy land.”

The gold and silver transport troops led by Zhao Ding and Zongying are now gone, and no one knows where they are!

Now the split of the retro party is also related to this matter.

“But what if they never have any news?”Zhao Huan asked.

“Then...”

She shook her head, not knowing what to say.If it were not for the division of the fields in Guanzhong, the army that surrounded the Western Song Dynasty would now be mercenaries.

Mercenaries are paid for!

By closing this territory, how much money can be found?Don't hurry to separate the ground, the new army will be a mutiny again at any time!At that time, will this be the slaughter of Cai Yu, and will it also be slaughtered?

Thinking about it, Cai Zhaozhai is a trembling.

This officer is so hard...
