Although Zhao Ping could rule directly, he still had to seek their opinions.
This is a procedure that must be walked through step by step. This is officialdom.
If they don't ask for advice, what else do these civil servants and military generals do?
Asking for opinions is a way to contact Zhao Ping and his subordinates, which can achieve the effect and purpose of mutual communication and mutual promotion.
Seeing Zhao Ping asking his subordinates, Fei Sifu wondered why he didn't express his opinion directly and put an end to it directly.
He felt like a prisoner on a trial bench, with tens of thousands of ants crawling around his heart, anxiously waiting for his fate to be judged.
Zhang Si is the chief secretary of Zhaojiazhuang, so he naturally has the right to speak first.
"Reporting to the little saint, I agree with the restoration of Israel. However, Israel is a country, and there are prefects and magistrates below. Therefore, I feel that it should be canonized to show the gift of the little saint to the vassal country." Zhang Si was the first to speak.
He heard the elegant sound of Xian Zhi. Since the little saint had no objection, he had naturally agreed in principle. It was just a matter of negotiating conditions.
He made a direct move. Not only was the Israeli court subject to the control of the little sage, but the local officialdom also had to reach out.
Other civil servants and military generals were also very happy. Although the little saint had not yet established a country, there were vassals jumping out to ask for help, which showed the endless potential of Zhaojiazhuang.
In fact, the canonization is also nominated by the king of the Kingdom of Israel, and then canonized by Zhaojiazhuang.
Although Zhaojiazhuang was owned by mistresses and little saints in the early days, now the civil servants and military officers related to Zhaojiazhuang regard it as their home.
The first emperor of the Han Empire, Han Gaozu, regarded the world as his home. This is the origin of the country.
Now Zhaojiazhuang's civil servants and generals are doing the opposite. They regard their family as their country.
In their hearts, Zhaojiazhuang is a relatively independent small country, and the mistress and the little saint are the mistress and monarch of this small country.
Since Zhaojiazhuang is a small country, the civil servants and military generals like them must also share power.
Although in name the subject country canonizes small saints, in fact the people who handle it are these civil servants.
What is canonization? It means that what the vassal country says does not count. The suzerain country must issue an order to have legal effect.
Canonization was a way for the central empire to exercise its ruling power over its vassal states.
However, the canonization in the Song Dynasty was generally the canonization of the king or head of a country, which was only a nominal control.
Now the canonization of Zhaojiazhuang is completely different from the canonization of the Song Dynasty. It is no longer a nominal vassal state, but a real vassal state.
Not only the king, queen, prince, and major court officials must be canonized, but also the prefects, prefects, prefectures, and even county magistrates of local yamen must be canonized.
Although the entire Kingdom of Israel is not completely controlled, it is still partially controlled by Zhaojiazhuang.
Don't underestimate this canonization, how Chiang Kai-shek controlled local warlords during the Republic of China.
Chiang Kai-shek used the nominal power of the central government to achieve his goals by continuously appointing (canonizing) local officials.
The effect of canonization is not so obvious in peacetime, but in times of war, it plays a key role.
Not to be outdone, Wang Wenxiu also wanted to strengthen his own sense of presence: "I reported it to the little saint, and my official seconded the proposal. I heard that Israel is a small country, only as big as Hanzhong Prefecture. I think the county magistrate should also be canonized by the little saint. .”
"Let me tell you, little saint, now that the crown prince has been enthroned, what about the prince, princess, prince, and princess?" Xi Xing thought for a while and came out to report. "The lower official suggested that the princes and princesses of the Kingdom of Israel should also be canonized, and in the future, the kings and princesses of Israel should also be canonized."
He thought further. There are no kings and princesses now, but now these princes will have kings and princesses when they grow up.
These people include not only the king's family, but also the king's nieces and nephews.
Don't ignore these people. If the king has no heir, find a successor from the king's nephew or even niece.
He discovered this loophole and fixed it promptly.
Zhang Hong, the chief registrar of the Sichuan Protecting Army, also came out of the civil service and reported: "I would like to inform you, the little saint, that the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Israel lack a chief registrar. This must be arranged for a chief registrar."
The general directs the war, and the chief is in charge of weapons, logistics, life, education, etc. The two complement each other.
The security group started with only a few hundred people. In only half a year, it quickly expanded to 100,000 troops, creating a miracle like snake swallowing elephants.
What's even more rare is that the security group not only often fights, but almost always wins.
Obviously, this is not only related to Zhaojiazhuang's weapons, but also the master book plays a key role.
Seeing this, Zhang Hong just suggested that he also wanted to indirectly control the military forces of the Kingdom of Israel through the chief book.
"The Kingdom of Israel is small and weak, and is surrounded by strong enemies. Zhaojiazhuang can send a troop of about 10,000 troops to station in the Kingdom of Israel to maintain its security and stability." Cao Ke thought for a while and suggested from the perspective of soldiers and horses. .
Zhao Ping nodded. It seemed that these civil and military officials particularly valued Zhaojiazhuang's first vassal state. Not only did they support the restoration of the country, but they also offered support.
According to this canonization and governance method, the Kingdom of Israel is not only not independent, but also in a semi-colonial status.
Fei Sifu stood at the back of the civil servants, not daring to raise his head, and just listened to their speeches one by one.
Fei Sifu felt relieved when he heard that the civil and military officials in Zhaojiazhuang approved of his return to the country.
However, he still felt a little unhappy. Zhaojiazhuang's hand must have been stretched too long.
The canonization of kings, queens, princes, and court officials is easy to understand, but I didn't expect that the following magistrates, magistrates, county magistrates, etc. would also be canonized.
From a civilian perspective, he thought it was okay to arrange the chief clerk. After all, he was not a military attache and did not understand the importance of soldiers and horses.
Hearing that Zhaojiazhuang was going to station troops in Israel, he was filled with joy and sorrow.
The country of Israel was small and weak. It turned out that Israel was destroyed by Byzantium.
Even if the country is restored, it will be more likely to have strong enemies. There are big countries such as barbarians, Dashi, and Byzantium around, so Zhaojiazhuang really needs the full support.
But it is easy to treat guests but difficult to send them off. Who knows whether these soldiers will interfere with the Israeli government.
Zhao Ping looked at him and found that Fei Sifu's expression kept changing, not knowing what he was thinking.
He said in a deep voice, "Master Fei, listen to the order."
When the fateful moment arrived, Fei Si bit his lip again.
"Your Majesty, I am all ears." Fei Sifu, whose heart almost jumped out of his chest, came out of the last position of the civil servant and said respectfully.
Zhao Ping nodded and said: "After discussion, Zhaojiazhuang agreed to help you restore the Kingdom of Israel. At the same time, you will be crowned king, and your wife Liu will be queen. First, a temporary palace will be built in Xi County as a temporary residence for the Zhuhu people who govern the world. .”
When Fei Sifu heard these words, it was as if fairy music was playing in his ears, and he felt that all the worries just now were swept away.
From now on, he is no longer the registrant of the West County, but the king of the Kingdom of Israel.
Don’t the Han people have a saying? I would rather be a chicken head than the end of the year.
With Zhao Ping's words, he suddenly felt like he was going to heaven.
Zhao Ping continued: "The kings, princesses, court ministers, prefects, prefectures, and county magistrates of the Kingdom of Israel must be canonized by Zhaojiazhuang to be effective; the Kingdom of Israel has set aside a land of 10,000 acres near the sea for Zhaojiazhuang's garrison to be safe in the Kingdom of Israel. use."
The reason why it is near the sea is that Zhao Ping not only wants to seize the ports of the Kingdom of Israel, but also plans to establish a navy when the time comes.
Zhao Ping has already calculated that this location will be Tel Aviv in later generations, which is the outlet of Jerusalem.
Defending Tel Aviv will secure the fate of Jerusalem.
Zhao Ping took out the map, pointed at this location and said, "Zhaojiazhuang plans to build a base here and name it Xixian. Is that okay?"
All the civil servants and military generals couldn't help but be astonished. They didn't know why Sage Zhao still had a map of Israel, considering that it was thousands of miles away.
But when I think about it, the little saint is a disciple of the gods. He knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.
The Kingdom of Israel is a small country, and it is easy for the little saint to have such a map.
Fei Sifu looked at the map, feeling surprised and bitter.
I was surprised that the little saint turned out to be a disciple of the gods and could have a map of the Kingdom of Israel.
The bitter thing is that although I was mentally prepared, my face kept changing when I heard Zhao Ping's announcement on the spot.
He now understands in his heart that canonization is a form, and the symbol is greater than the substantive meaning.
After all, the Kingdom of Israel was far away from the Song Dynasty, thousands of miles apart, and Zhaojiazhuang was unable to govern it.
But it's different with the garrison. The garrison must have a copy of these canonization documents.
With the garrison, canonization has real substantive meaning, and garrison is the real guarantee for canonization.
Not only could he not offend the garrison, but he also had to worship them like the Supreme Emperor.
"Master Fei, don't worry. The garrison is used to protect the Kingdom of Israel. It will not disturb the people or interfere with politics. This Zhaojiazhuang has special legal restrictions." Zhao Ping saw Fei Sifu's pale face and said with a smile.
The reason why Zhao Ping agreed to station troops in Israel was firstly to maintain the security of the Kingdom of Israel, secondly the goal was the Mediterranean Sea, and thirdly it was more long-term.
This became the later Suez Canal. It controlled the Suez Canal, and also controlled Europe and Arabia.
Zhao Ping admired Yang Guang very much. He was definitely not the foolish king Li Shimin of the former Tang Dynasty said.
Zhao Ping commented that his contribution in history far surpassed that of Li Shimin, the so-called emperor through the ages.
First, he ended the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties and completed the unification of the country before ascending the throne.
Secondly, the construction of the 800-mile Grand Canal will completely open up the barriers between the north and the south. It is equivalent to the world's first high-speed railway that is close to a thousand miles. It will closely connect the commerce and people between the north and the south. From then on, there will no longer be a barrier between the north and the south.
Thirdly, he initiated the imperial examination, selected civilian talents, broke the officialdom monopoly of the five surnames and seven sects, gave the disciples from poor families a chance to succeed, and maintained the stability of the court to the greatest extent.
Fourth, his literary talent was good, and his poetry was at the peak of the Sui Dynasty, far surpassing that of Li Shimin.
He made these contributions that future generations have been using or enjoying.
It can be said that his contribution is no less than that of Qin Shihuang, and he is truly the emperor of the ages.
Zhao Ping also has his own talents and strategies. He disdains the expansion of the Grand Canal by his predecessors and builds on their predecessors' foundation.
Yang Guang opened the north-south passage to benefit the people in the north and south.
He, Zhao Ping, will go to a higher level and open up the Eurasian Silk Road channel to truly benefit future generations.
The Kingdom of Israel is in the hands of the future Suez Canal in Eurasia.
Guarding the Mediterranean and opening the Suez Canal are Zhao Ping's real purpose of garrisoning troops in the Kingdom of Israel.
However, this is just a dream and is still very far away.
The immediate task is to drive out the barbarians and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Zhao Ping's subordinates didn't know what he was thinking, and Fei Sifu certainly didn't know either.
He felt a little relieved when he heard that the troops stationed in Zhaojiazhuang could not interfere with internal affairs and would not disturb the people, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
But what Zhao Ping said later made him extremely grateful.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. This is not only reflected in the officialdom, between landlords and tenants, but also between countries.
First, Zhao Ping announced in the name of Zhaojiazhuang that he would help the Kingdom of Israel train 10,000 soldiers and horses and provide 10,000 equipment.
Of course, these are all eliminated from the battlefield, but most of them are better than the barbarians.
Second, Zhaojiazhuang provided 30,000 pick-up cards free of charge as a start-up capital for the Israeli state; in the future, it provided 10,000 pick-up cards free of charge and 20,000 pick-up cards free of charge every year, with no interest.
Third, Zhaojiazhuang is willing to help improve agricultural irrigation technology and increase crop yields.
Fourth, Zhaojiazhuang and the Kingdom of Israel jointly set up workshops for fairy charcoal, fairy stoves, nectar and jade liquid, fairy noodles, fairy cakes, flower fairy pollen, etc. Zhaojiazhuang made 70% of the production and the Kingdom of Israel accounted for 30%.
Fifth, Zhaojiazhuang helped the Kingdom of Israel build a hundred schools for free and sent hundreds of teachers to promote education.
Sixth, Zhaojiazhuang provides the Kingdom of Israel with the qualifications for one hundred foreign students every year, free of charge and providing room and board, so that they can receive higher education in the Central Empire.
Seventh, Zhaojiazhuang is willing to exchange officials with the Kingdom of Israel, but the Central Empire will automatically be promoted to one or two levels when it becomes a vassal state.
In other words, Zhaojiazhuang sent out county magistrates, who were at least the level of judge in the Kingdom of Israel.
In fact, this article was prepared for exiled officials, because the Song Dynasty had a custom of not killing scholar-officials.
Except for those officials who were treasonous or committed serious crimes, Zhao Ping did not kill civilian officials easily.
After all, the civilization of the Song Dynasty is the most brilliant pearl in the history of world civilization. This is related to the great development of officialdom in the Song Dynasty.
However, if I don’t kill you, I will exile you to the Kingdom of Israel in the far west, thousands of miles away. Let’s see what fun you can have?
Hearing this, Feisi couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
He was in tears and truly moved.
What is this? This is the parent-like mind of the Central Empire. This is the country that regards the Kingdom of Israel as its own country.
Zhao Ping finally announced that since Fei Sifu admitted that he was born a Han and died a Han ghost, he and his descendants would forever be the chief registrar of Xi County.
Hearing Zhao Ping's final announcement, Fei Sifu shed tears and kowtowed in thanks. The little saint completely fulfilled his wish to become a Han.
Fei Sifu was extremely grateful, but the civil servants present were distracted.
On the contrary, they think that the king of the Kingdom of Israel is nothing more than the chief registrar of the Western County.
But they didn’t understand how the little sage helped the Kingdom of Israel improve its crop irrigation technology.
You know, Zhao Ping has always lived in warm and humid Sichuan, but the Kingdom of Israel is extremely dry.
Zhao Ping's irrigation technology is the famous karez technology, which consists of vertical shafts, underground channels, surface channels and reservoirs.
Zhao Ping’s plan is to divert water from the 500-mile-wide Galli Lake on the Galli Plateau to the Gobi Desert through karez to expand the planting area.
Naturally, Israel has not yet been restored as a nation, and this is still within the plan.
Zhao Ping did what he said, and on the spot he crowned Fei Sifu as the first king after the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel, and his wife Liu Rushu as the queen. At the same time, he pulled out 30,000 delivery cards as the start-up capital of the Kingdom of Israel.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Ping's canonization is not very solemn.
He is neither emperor nor prime minister.
The name of his canonization was not Song Dynasty, just Zhaojiazhuang.
What is Zhaojiazhuang? It's just a non-governmental organization.
However, although Zhaojiazhuang is only a non-governmental organization, it has a security group and a Sichuan-protecting army under it.
It is precisely because of these troops that the arrogant Hu people have suffered continuously recently.
Although Zhao Ping conferred the title of king and queen of the Kingdom of Israel and promised to allocate 30,000 delivery cards, there was one key thing that he failed to bring.
This thing is the official seal of Zhaojiazhuang, which is currently kept by my mother.
Fortunately, Zhao Ping still has a private seal and an official financial seal.
Zhang Si immediately completed the drafting of the canonization document, and Zhao Ping stamped his private seal on it.
There was also 30,000 yuan withdrawn from the delivery card, and Zhao Ping stamped his personal seal and official financial seal.
These must be stamped with the official seal of Zhaojiazhuang to truly complete the process.
Some people worry that the mistress will not agree to the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel. This is not a problem at all.
When the mother learned that her son actually had a country, she was so happy that it was too late to stop the country.
The next day, heavy fog filled the air, and the visual distance was no more than ten feet away.
In the north of Han River, 30,000 Hu troops were fully equipped and gathered here neatly.
Thanks to the strict military discipline of the Hu people, there was almost no sound.
Before them were 40,000 sheepskin boats.
The Captain of the Thirty Thousand Soldiers was none other than Hadeleki, the old rival of the security group.
Zhuge Liang knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.
Zhang Liang followed Zhuge Liang's example everywhere and learned nine out of ten of his abilities.
He has been observing the sky for the past few days and found that the moon is hairy and there is a high possibility of heavy fog in the near future.
In the past ten days, the world has been dominated by barbarians at night and by the security team during the day.
They had the ability to launch giant imitation thunderbolts from a long distance, causing many casualties to the security team.
The security group also has tiger crouching cannons that can shoot at a longer distance, but due to the darkness, they can only hurt Hu soldiers and cannot destroy the returning cannons.
During the day, the security group not only almost destroyed the Hu people's artillery, but also caused greater casualties to the Hu people.
Overall, the Hu people suffered even more.
The casualties of the Hu people were far higher than those of the security group. Countless weapons such as Huihui artillery, giant copycat thunders, and thunder were destroyed by the security group.
Even though their soldiers and horses are far superior to the security group, if this continues, the barbarians will be the first to be unable to bear it.
After Zhang Liang's careful consideration, Harderji suggested that instead of spending a lot of energy on a sneak attack on Dingjun Mountain at night, it would be better to take advantage of the heavy fog to directly attack Xi County during the day.
But this plan was not decided by Hadleji, the commander of 30,000 men. The marshal arranged for them to attack Dingjun Mountain.
Hadleji submitted this plan to Wu Liang Hetai, who thought about it until midnight.
He finally decided to arrange for other Hu people to exchange positions with Hadeleji.
Hadleki had been fighting with the security group for nearly a month and knew everything about the security group.
Hadleki looked at the dense fog with no human beings a foot away in front of him, and nodded.
He waved his hand: "Let me attack. West County is yours."
"Can we massacre the city?" A barbarian captain bowed and asked softly.
After fighting for ten days, the Hu people suffered 100,000 casualties and were already full of rage.
Hadeleji thought for a while, "Okay, I'll be in the way if you have something to do."
The captain was overjoyed and boarded a sheepskin boat himself.
The sheepskin boat made very little noise and rowed slowly towards the west county south of the Han River.
These sheepskin boats are not dozens or hundreds, but thousands or even tens of thousands.
