When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 43: The foundation built by traveling around.

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin touched his chin and said, "Although it is a good thing to take advantage of the other party's internal chaos, not all advantages are easy to take advantage of. You must be prepared."

The Song Dynasty was arrogant and arrogant during the miracle, so it was inevitable that they would be hit on the head by this surprise that fell from the sky.
-
In the Song Dynasty, there was peace and prosperity for three years.

Jiao Guangyi's resentful eyes stared at the name Li Jiqian: This was the man who had made him lose face.

He failed to fully recover the Dingnan Five Continents, and even established an independent country in the future.

And judging from what Shenwei said, his Song Dynasty will suffer several big losses from Xixia in the future!

Looking at the constantly changing scenes in the miracle, he secretly made up his mind. When the miracle was over, he would bring Li Jiqian to the capital and have a good communication with him!
[In the seventh year of the Taiping and the rejuvenation of the country, Li Jiqian continued to attack the Hexi states where Song troops were stationed, and conducted many small-group operations, but most of them failed to achieve anything. 】

[It was not until the first year of Yongxi that he led his troops to attack Inner Mongolia and captured Wan Ji, the governor at the time, and ushered in the first victory against the Song Dynasty in many years. 】

[However, he could not be happy for long. After learning about it, the Song Dynasty immediately sent out cavalry, running around day and night to raid Li Jiqian's station.In the end, only he and his younger brother Li Ji escaped from the conflict, and the rest of his family members were captured. 】

[Li Jiqian lost thousands of people and countless cattle and sheep. However, although Li Jiqian suffered repeated defeats, his supporters did not decrease. On the contrary, more and more people supported him. 】

[The Song Dynasty obviously underestimated Li Jiqian in this regard. Why did Li Jiqian continue to grow stronger despite losing many battles?On the one hand, it is driven by interests. The ethnic minorities in the border areas have long been dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty. Li Jiqian is not the only one who wants to benefit from the Song Dynasty. 】

[There are also many ethnic minorities who have married into Li Jiqian's tribe to stabilize the unity of all parties. On the other hand, Li Jiqian is using the name of the Li family. 】

[In the land of Hexi, many common people and wealthy families often feel grateful and give back to the Li family. 】
-
Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin silently watched the miraculous Li Jiqian defeated repeatedly, but became more and more courageous. More and more people surrounded his men. In a trance, he seemed to see his past self.

The Li family has been running the land in Hexi for a hundred years, and he really didn't expect it in terms of people's hearts.

I fought my way out of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Which force in the Central Plains doesn't come and occupy my territory today, and I will attack your city tomorrow?

How many people can care about people's hearts in troubled times?

Most of us are not too kind to the people, but now it seems that long-term management of people's hearts is also a good road.
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin laughed: "Look, even though most people don't know the Four Books and Five Classics, they still remember whoever treats them well."

At this time, he was even more determined to put the people first: "I hope that all armies will join hands with me so that the people of the Tang Dynasty will remember the grace of the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation!"

All the ministers below knelt down and worshiped: "I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty!"

[Li Jiqian then continued to travel east and west, and finally occupied a state. However, facing the strong strength of the Song Dynasty, he chose to send an envoy to the Liao Dynasty to express his intention to surrender. 】

[Although Liao Shengzong at this time believed that Li Jiqian wanted to use his name to intimidate the Song Dynasty, he also believed that this was an opportunity to draw Hexi to his side, and finally agreed to his request. 】

[The marriage with Li Jiqian in the end was unable to form an effective counterattack against the Liao Dynasty. Now it was a small family rebellion, and they lost a state. This made the Song Dynasty even more annoyed, so he did something to see It seems to have had quite a counterproductive effect. 】【In the fifth year of Chunhua, the Song Dynasty implemented a blockade on the entry of green and white salt to surrounding areas. Most of the border ethnic minorities made a living from animal husbandry, and their main food relied on the exchange of locally produced green and white salt with border residents. 】

[Zhao Guangyi's prohibition policy hit their hearts. Many ethnic minorities began to fall into food crises. At the same time, it also affected countless people who followed Li Jiqian, because most of them were nomadic people. 】

[After the Song Dynasty implemented the salt ban policy, it was difficult for them to obtain food, so they rushed to serve Li Jiqian in panic, hoping that the Song Dynasty would take back the order.In the end, he successfully strengthened Li Jiqian's power. 】

[And the Song Dynasty did not live up to their expectations. When the border guards could not help but harass them, the Song Dynasty revoked the ban. 】
-
Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin's calm heart was finally broken by his younger brother again:
Did you throw away your brain after becoming emperor?

If you can't defeat Liao, you don't have enough strength and military talent. So before imposing an economic blockade, can't you think about who will have the greatest impact?

Zhao Kuangyin feels so tired. Either you insist on maintaining the ban, and they will naturally choose to give up on Li Jiqian because Li Jiqian cannot get results.

Either you don't issue the ban, which will help Li Jiqian establish his prestige and enhance his strength!
Zhao Kuangyin, who became more and more angry as he talked, started to pick up the things on the table again and threw them at Zhao Guangyi.
-
In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

Zhao Guangyi, who became the emperor, was a little worried. It was okay if he couldn't defeat the Liao Dynasty, but Xixia had only been founded a few years ago!
No, the People’s Republic of China wasn’t even founded at that time!
I actually can’t deal with it!

In the end, I still lost a bit!
Although it was just the revocation of a government decree, I still felt that my face had been damaged.

[Li Jiqian kept jumping back and forth between pretending to surrender to the Liao Dynasty and attacking the Song Dynasty. Finally, Zhao Guangyi couldn't bear it anymore. He ordered Li Jilong, Ding Han, Fan Yanzhao, Wang Chao, and Zhang Shouen to advance in five directions to attack Li Jiqian. 】

[But the old problem of the Song Dynasty happened again. They still had no enemies and fought on their own. In the end, they failed to achieve any results. 】

[In the following three years, Zhao Guangyi died and Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne. He accepted Li Jiqian's peace terms and named him the military envoy of the Dingnan Army. The five Dingnan prefectures were once again placed under Li Jiqian's name. 】
-
Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin was not surprised at all by Li Jiqian's repeated horizontal jumps. What surprised him was that the five-way army deployed by Zhao Guangyi did not listen to him. This time, he did not do any remote micro-management!

Even though civil servants control military affairs, the military attachés still don't unite with each other!
He really didn't know what to say.

[When Li Jiqian was in power, Xixia had not yet been established. The founding of Xixia was in the hands of his grandson Li Yuanhao. Of course, the foundation laid by Li Jiqian's traveling around throughout his life was also an important reason for the founding of Xixia. 】

[Let’s take a look at another place that Taizong Zhao Guangyi will never forget—Jiaozhi. 】

[Previously during the period of Ming Taizu Zhu Di, it provided many talents and conveniences for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[While Zhao Kuangyin had been in an independent position and Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, his luck was really good. At this time, the ruler of Jiaozhi was the Ding Dynasty, and there happened to be internal chaos. 】

[The imperial power was also unstable. The only heir, Ding Rui, ascended the throne when he was only six years old, and the real power was taken by General Li Heng. 】

[Zhao Guangyi was also overjoyed when he learned about it. He thought this was another good opportunity given by God and prepared to mobilize more than [-] people to send troops to Jiaozhi. 】

[After learning the news, Jiaozhi responded quickly. The Queen Mother sent someone to give Li Heng a dragon robe and let him ascend the throne as emperor. 】
