"It's still raining?" In the Long Live Hall, it was quiet. Liu Chengyou silently flipped through the memorials submitted by various ministries and departments, and suddenly raised his head and asked.
The emperor said something, and the palace servants who were waiting were nervous. One of the chamberlains immediately went to check, and then quickly came back to whisper to Yantuo, who then reported to Emperor Liu from Yantuo: "In the official house, the cold rain has not stopped, but it is already a small amount." Got it!"
Emperor Liu nodded, no wonder he could hardly hear the sound of rain. It happened that Shi Xizai, a scholar of Chongzheng Palace, came to see him and announce it. In the past two years, Shi Xizai went a step further and took charge of the affairs of Chongzheng Palace, becoming a real hidden minister.
"Ning Ji is here, take a seat!" Emperor Liu thought highly of Shi Xizai.
There are all kinds of officials in the court, including mediocre people and humble gentlemen, and Shi Xizai is one of the few gentlemen who can reach high officials.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As usual, observing the etiquette and saying thanks, Shi Xizai took his seat.
His body was still stained with rain and dew, and shrouded in obvious water vapor. When Emperor Liu saw it, he immediately ordered Yantuo to serve him a bowl of hot soup. Looking at Shi Xizai, Liu Chengyou said: "It has been raining for several days. It still hasn’t stopped. The Bian River has risen. I don’t know what the condition of the river is. I hope there won’t be another disaster like the embankment bursting..."
"Your Majesty is worried that the Central Committee has already issued a notice to all counties and counties along the river to strictly patrol and be on guard!" Shi Xizai said.
"The imperial court should send some special envoys and censors to go down and take a walk!" Emperor Liu ordered.
"yes!"
"What's important for you to come here?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Shi Xizai presented the seal and said: "In response to Xiazhou's report, the Dangxiang tribes sent envoys one after another to express their allegiance. Wang You held a banquet in Xiazhou, invited the leaders of the tribes to discuss, and swore an alliance with them on behalf of the imperial court. All tribes expressed that, I am willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty and be loyal to the imperial court forever. At this point, Xia Sui is at peace."
"This is good news!" Emperor Liu's reaction to this was rather dull and said: "It's just an oath. If we keep our word, how strong can we be to restrain the barbarians? The Han Dynasty is strong, and they will bow to us. Can I still expect them to be loyal forever?"
Seeing Emperor Liu's cold words, Shi Xizai didn't know how to respond to these words for a while, so he could only echo: "What your Majesty said is true. The Yi and Di are afraid of power and have no morals. Now the parties are afraid of the strength of the Han and are forced to do so." The military power is so great that people are vying to show their support, which is not gullible."
Liu Chengyou smiled, opened the memorial, and asked: "How do these party members react to the implementation of the Han system and the payment of taxes and tributes?"
"Yes to all!"
"Are you so happy to agree?" Liu Chengyou said playfully.
"It is said that during the oath of alliance, Dushuai Yang sent a thousand soldiers to maintain order!" Shi Xizai responded.
After years of understanding and familiarity, the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty had long understood that the problem of Xia Sui was easily solved by the Dingjun army, but the difficult part was the governance of hundreds of thousands of party members.
Unlike the scattered Dangxiang tribes scattered in the Helong area, Xiazhou Dangxiang has been settled there for a long time and has a high degree of cohesion. After nearly a hundred years of management by the Tuoba Li family, it has the foundation to form an independent political power.
It's just that the tiger of the Han Dynasty was on the side, interrupting the process of independence and even killing this possibility. You must know that in official history, even if it was Zhao and Song, the founding of Xixia took more than half a century and the Song Dynasty. Only after a fierce battle did it come true.
Now, for Xia Sui, who had initially recovered, and the party members who survived among them, the first thing Emperor Liu wanted to eliminate was the possibility of their independence, thus weakening the foundation of the Dingnan Army's operation for nearly a hundred years.
Previously, under the instruction of Liu Chengyou, after comprehensive consideration and repeated discussions by the political officials, a set of measures and management strategies for Xia Sui's aftermath were finally proposed.
Basically, the adjustments were made within the framework suggested by Uncle Li Ye, which was in line with the emperor's wishes after all, and was also the court's ultimate goal of taking over Xiazhou. However, it was not as urgent as Li Ye wanted, and it was done in one step.
However, even if the methods are relatively mild, there is a basic bottom line, that is, party members must truly be integrated into the larger ruling system, obey the management of the government, and pay taxes to the court.
With this premise, there is more room for negotiation on other matters. Dangxiang people can retain their own customs and customs, and there is no need to forcefully promote the change of clothing. However, the implementation of the Han legal system is also imperative. of.
In order to appease the party members, the court also granted certain preferential treatment, such as not charging any taxes for three years. Party members in various ministries were still allowed to exist in the form of tribes, especially under the management of the original leader. The court selected those who were obedient to the court and awarded them official positions. The imperial court would not directly deprive the people of the green and white salt they depended on, but would send salt supervisors to "guide" it and at the same time strengthen trade and economic ties between the Dangxiang people and the Han people.
Generally speaking, for the Dangxiang people, the appeasement policy adopted by the court gradually assimilated them on the basis of stabilizing the situation. The meaning of appeasement in later generations has become weakness, surrender, and being despised by others. However, its original intention is not to give in blindly. Compromise is just a policy that takes the overall situation into consideration.
Wei Renpu, a prime minister, is naturally experienced in planning for the country. When the overall situation is determined, it is understandable that he does not want to adopt urgent policies and extreme measures to avoid extraneous problems.
Emperor Liu also understood and agreed with their ideas. Of course, the most important thing was that the ministers understood the emperor's goal of annexing and digesting the party members and worked hard in that direction.
With this understanding, it is not difficult to reach a consensus with Emperor Liu.
In comparison, the Tuoba Li family was not so polite. Within three generations, all of them, regardless of their direct descendants, would move out without any room for negotiation.
After discussion, it was decided to move all the Li clan members from Li Guangrui down to Hebei. In terms of centralized resettlement or dispersed resettlement, the final choice was centralized, no other, convenient management, and the destination of the migration was Xiangzhou.
Yinzhou and Suizhou, not unexpectedly, soon surrendered one after another. After all, Li Guangrui, who had always been tough and had the strongest strength, surrendered. Where could they have any other choice? .
After the four states of Xia Sui were restored, the imperial court's orders for the aftermath also came one after another. Without any delay, Yang Ye and Wang You implemented them in accordance with the imperial policies and guidelines, combined with the specific local conditions.
The matter of relocating the clan naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction within the Tuoba Li family. The emphasis on homeland and family is not unique to the Han people. The Dangxiang people are also reluctant to leave their homeland.
Especially the Li family, they have long been "new party members" who have broken away from the traditional nomadic production method. At the same time, the great migration of the Li family is not a simple matter, and there are many complaints. In addition, Tuoba was originally a party member.
Most of them, and the direct line of the Li family has been flourishing since Li Sigong. The family alone is a large number of people. It is understandable how difficult it is to move these people out.
Of course, one is a sword and the other is flesh and blood. Under the power of the Han Dynasty, no matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction there was within the Li family, they were not allowed to have more choices in the era when the Han army was rampant.
Yang Ye had received the emperor's instruction and Shunchang Ni perished, but his sword had not been sharpened yet.
On the other hand, it is the matter of handling the army that was originally scheduled to be in trouble. In this regard, we need to be much more cautious. There is no matter that can cause more serious damage than problems with the army.
The total number of troops in the four states of Xia Sui was tens of thousands, and all of them were of Han nationality. Among them, some of the strongest backbones in the army were selected to serve as troops and defend on the spot, while others were transferred to the Tokyo Forbidden Army for in-depth assimilation.
.
There were more than 6,000 people left, and all of them moved out. This time they were not moved inward, but sent to Shanyang for garrison. When Song Qi was in office in Shanyang, he asked Emperor Liu for people from time to time. This time
Give him a big gift.
The six thousand soldiers in trouble were not just six thousand soldiers, but including their entire families, they had a population of six thousand households. For a border area, this was enough to fill several counties.
In this way, after dividing the Dingnan Army, no matter what other people think, he feels a lot more comfortable.
Of course, Emperor Liu himself knew that things would never be easy, and the Dangxiang people would not really be so obedient and submissive. Without the possibility of direct rebellion, the Han Dynasty still had to go through a lot of rule in Xia Sui.
test.
It depends on the abilities of Wang You and Yang Ye. Obviously, the biggest test of Yang Ye's pacification of Xia Sui is not his ability to unite the army in combat, but his ability to coordinate relationships and handle common affairs. So far, he has done a great job
Not bad, Yang Ye is a handsome man who has an overall view.
