Chapter 715 The army like a profiteer

This time, Ximen Qing couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he went over and gave Guan Qi a palm on the back of his head and returned the pony to the Xixia girl.

Ximen Qing explained to the girl with great sincerity: A lollipop cannot be exchanged for a horse, and it is not enough to be fooled by others. If you bully the little girl like this, it is really a Buddha who is also popular.

As a battlefield military police force, Liang Hongyu observed it while passing by with Xiao Songxiang and found that this Xixia girl had a bit of the "little confused" style of Jiangzhou.

So Hutou Yu ran over with the yellow dog and gave Xixia girl a big white rabbit milk candy.

This is unique, only Liang Hongyu has it.

So the little Xixia little confused gave Liang Hongyu the little foal he had just brought back.

Ximen Qing finally fainted, but this time he didn't dare to say that Liang Hongyumeng was no longer a person.

So in the end, Liang Hongyu got the little foal. Liang Hongyu didn't understand that this was a big advantage. She thought her big white rabbit milk candy was unique.

However, for some reason, Ximen Qing also began to feel a little conscientious. Although he did not dare to take responsibility for Liang Hongyu to take advantage of others, he found that the confused girl in Xixia had a cough formation, so he looked over and gave her a few cough pills.

The characteristic of the little Xixia confusion was that it would stuff it into its mouth whenever it got, so it took five cough pills in one breath.

Ximen Qing jumped up in anger, pinched the girl's mouth, reached in and took out the cough pills, and ordered: Only one pill is allowed, one pill at a time, twice a day.

Well, after eating one, the little girl felt it was bitter and not delicious at all, so she stopped eating too much and kept it for later...

The Song army entered Xixia without disturbing the people, but also benefiting the civilians of Xixia. Its reputation is spreading infinitely.

No one knows what the "People's Liberation Army" is, but this is Gao Fangping's propaganda caliber. This time, the dispatch of troops is not to invade Xixia, but to "liberate the hard-working people in Xixia". What the hell is saying is really true.

In short, Guan Qi, Ximen Qing, these guys don’t believe in this theory.

However, there are really a group of Xixia people who believe it. In fact, when it comes to building momentum, propaganda and other work, Gao Fangping is the most vulgar person in this era.

In addition to Han Shizhong being the best at doing this kind of work, the military police team led by Liang Hongyu is actually the most reputable. Then the political commissars of the Young Army are also very good at doing this kind of work. So yes, since entering the Xixia ruling region, Gao Fangping's troops have been different from the most hated Liu Yanqing's troops, and they have almost never encountered any resistance.

The Xixia border people saw that this was a caravan, not an army. Although they had terrifying military armor, they were different from before and almost did not bully the Xixia people unless they were attacked.

Not to mention this era, even if Jiang Bullock is as treacherous as the later generations, his ruling area is also tofu to block the knife when facing this arrangement.

Therefore, although the border residents of Xixia who live a hard life do not know what liberation is, they are increasingly repelling Gao Fangping's army. The so-called good reputation is accumulated bit by bit after entering the Xixia territory under Gao Fangping's strict order. This is Gao Fangping's intention to strictly enforce politics and discipline.

In fact, it cannot be said that Gao Fangping is too good, but the Western Xia regime is too bad, which makes these border residents less likely to belong.

The people of Xixia are different from the people of the Song Dynasty. They are a very direct group of people. Whoever is stronger will follow, and whoever is stronger will be just. Under this premise, as long as the rulers are not too crazy, they generally accept it, but overall, they have no belief or sense of belonging to the rulers.

Because they were not having a good time, the rule of Xixia was mostly far behind them than that of the Song Dynasty, and was basically similar to that of the feudal system in Europe. Everything they had belonged to the lords. Even if the sinicization was relatively serious, there was nothing fixed to them. If they were to move, they could take time to relocate and confiscate them, and all their horses, cattle and sheep were taken away at no cost and used to fight against the Song State. Those who were dissatisfied and resisted did not have to wait for the Song army to come, and they would be killed by their own people first.

This is why Xixia was able to fight against the Song Dynasty at extremely low costs. In fact, it is the essence of traditional farming and repeated losses in fighting nomads.

But this is a drug-taking model, which will lead to a lack of a sense of belonging to all their citizens. There is no sense of justice or injustice. War is just something they have to survive and must accept.

Along with the entire Song Dynasty, once nomads were sinicized to a certain extent, they would inevitably lead to serious decline in combat power until their country was destroyed. This is almost theorem. This is the case with the powerful Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom, and later the stronger Jin Kingdom.

The most essential thing is that nomadic tactics have always been based on cruel and inhumane rule and invaded at war costs that almost cost no cost. If the Song Dynasty wanted to equip a cavalry of 100,000 people, the price would be so high that it would not be enough to let the queen mother take out her underwear and sell it. However, nomadic can be done in minutes.

So the nomadic style is an advantage, but it is their fatal disadvantage: once they become Chinese, they have a sense of belonging, and they have to let them give up everything, and it is impossible to fight with their own lunch boxes. However, their skills are far behind when playing Hanwa's style of competing for productivity, so they can only weaken day by day until they finish the country.

Yes, the big gift is so weird. Under the leadership of the tyrant monarch and a group of corrupt officials, the powerful Liao and Jin Kingdoms were killed so much...

Damn it was a failure!

This is the most common complaint in the Song Dynasty army this time.

As soldiers, who would not want to fight the enemy's family, take some things from the Xixia people and touch their women.

Yes, everyone wants it, but unfortunately it won’t work this time. I thought that following the great hero Gao Fangping to march into Xixia would have too much fun, but I was even more grandson than in the territory of Song State. After endless battle meetings, I was brainwashed by the political commissars and became a team of saints.

The big-headed soldiers have the ability to kill people, but they have to pay for eating something from the Xixia people?

But speaking of this, the things here are so cheap. Perhaps the border residents of Xixia had never seen the copper coins of the big head soldiers, and perhaps they were used to being given things by the military officials without compensation, so after they accidentally obtained the copper coins, they all used them as treasures. So one copper coins could buy a lot of things.

This is an extremely huge business opportunity in any case. It is just that in the past, such business opportunities were destroyed by war and the tense political relations between the two countries.

In the past, the people of Xixia had no productivity, but relying on the Hexi Corridor, there were endless cattle and horses and endless resources. However, the Xixia's strong pressure policy was to not trade with the Song State. Even if there were a small amount of transactions, they were all official markets. The so-called official market was that the things of the Xixia people were confiscated by the Xixia government and sold to the red-topped merchants of the Song Dynasty depending on the situation.

Of course, some merchants in the Song State were brave enough to secretly smuggle materials into the border and trade with the Xixia people. However, given that long-distance transportation was still facing bandits, the loss was too great and the cost was too high. Because the Zong Shidao wanted to raise the over-organized Western Army, they almost legally drew two or more layers of caravans passing by the border.

In addition, the risk of entering Xixia's transactions is also very high, and faces the strangulation of the Xixia army. Therefore, all these difficulties will eventually be transformed into the cost of caravans. At the terminal, it is manifested that the price is too high and not many people in the Xixia border can afford it.

These are the reasons why the border trade between the two countries cannot be opened, and it is also the reason why the border people of the Western Xia think that the Song Dynasty is extremely expensive and they have to pay a big price if they want it. Therefore, there are jokes such as exchanging horses for sugar.

In fact, if you change it, you will change it. This may not be a loss for the Xixia people who know how to do arithmetic. After the change, it will at least become something that can be eaten. If you don’t change it, if you want to advance, those things will be handed over to the Xixia government unconditionally, and then they will become cavalry that is said to be invincible and active in the territory of the Song Dynasty. But even if you steal the things back, it will have nothing to do with these Xixia civilians.

On the contrary, because of the fight, the border residents would be retaliated by the Song army.

Yes, Zhong Shidao likes revenge and iron-blooded policies. This is why Gao Fangping didn't want him to come this time. He hated Xixia people. On the contrary, Tao Jiefu was much more vulgar than the old generation. He was always a literati. When Tao Rong was on the border, he was relatively kind to the border people, and there were many preferential policies to attract border people to settle their home in Song State.

To sum up, the success of this advance is actually a business victory. In short, everything in the world is a matter of money.

To put it bluntly, Gao Fangping is a reputation for advancing and is protecting Guan Qi and Ximen Qing at risk-free and low-cost business. Of course, this is impossible in normal times. The tolls of bandits in the northwest and Master Zhong can teach Guan Qi to be a human being.

Then Gao Fangping also used his reputation as "liberation" to protect the Xixia border people at a relatively cheap price to obtain the Song Dynasty supplies they needed.

Yes, the Xixia people generally got a lot of things, which was cheaper than usual. After all, the matter of using war horses to exchange sugar was only a minority, and it was also the early stage. As for later, Gao Fangping always adjusted the policies in time and would not allow Ximen Qing and the others to be too tricky, and their appearance should not be too ugly.

So after so long education, Guan Qi and Ximen Qing decided to turn back to the right and not exchange a bag of sugar for other people's horses. They generously exchanged three bags of sugar for it. It was so interesting, and the people of Xixia liked them very much.

Gao Fangping could only smile bitterly at the two sharks. That was really a matter of turning aside. Gao Fangping could no longer ask for anything, and he could not ask so much. After all, Gao Fangping was the chief marching manager, not a battlefield accountant.

Under such a favorable situation, Gao Fangping's troops took Pule City in mid-March without any resistance.

Faced with the arrival of tens of thousands of troops, and facing the invincible commander Gao Fangping, who defeated the 400,000 troops of the Western Xia god Cha Ge, the hundreds of Xixia defenders in Pule City ran away the day before yesterday.

With a good reputation since entering the war zone, Pulecheng was only a few of the Xixia nobles, and most of the Xixia people were still there, and they were heartless and should do whatever they should do. There were even many Xixia people who prepared things and were waiting to trade with the Song army.

Because they heard that the Song army would not kill people this time, and there were many good things to trade, so they planned to exchange for some to enjoy.
