Chapter 408?

Zhang Xiu and others were not wrong in guessing. Yang Fu asked Ma Teng not to surrender immediately, but to station in Xishui City, not only to avoid the edge but also to be calm.

Yang Fu also knew that Zhang Xiu and others could guess his intentions. Both sides were smart people, and they were all clear.

So this is a very tacit surrender.

Yang Fu would also try his best to win the generous treatment he should have for Ma Teng. But Yang Fu did not expect that Zhang Xiu would not play according to the routine and would have to appoint him as the governor of Liangzhou.

This is something he dared not think about.

He was already grateful to be a native of Tianshui Jicheng, but he was appointed as the chief secretary by Ma Teng. He tried his best to plan for Ma Teng, and even did not betray Ma Teng when Ma Teng was about to die.

But now Zhang Xiu wants him to be the governor of Liangzhou, which is illogical.

His current identity is worse than a white body (no official position), but a person who is a [thief]. He is already very satisfied to be able to return to Tianshui Jicheng safely.

In short, this matter is incredible. But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Fu also felt that it was quite reasonable.

Who is Zhang Xiu? Respecting wise men is famous all over the world.

Therefore, he is known for his courage to use unfamous poor scholars. When Cai Mao entered the city that day, he also said that Zhang Xiu often bothered him.

[I have captured all the treacherous heroes and I will not be able to get Yang Fuxie]. It can be seen that Zhang Xiu values ​​him.

To be honest, Yang Fu was very moved. He was a person who was very easy to move, otherwise he would not have been confused for Ma Teng.

But he was also a wise man. After breathing a sigh of relief, he suppressed his emotions in his heart. He raised his head and said sincerely to Zhang Xiu: "Thank you, Mr. Ming Gu Chong, but I am a thief and dare not be the governor of Liangzhou. Besides, I came to see Mr. Ming this time for Ma Gong's business."

Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "What are you following the thief? Everyone is the master. I don't care what you did before, sir, I only value sir, your talents and virtues."

After a pause, Zhang Xiu's preference for Yang Fu was unconcealed and said, "Sir, don't say much. For the sake of Mr. Ma Tenglai, he will become General Jianwu and be granted the title of Marquis. He has a high position and a generous salary. He is a great man in the world."

Zhang Xiu's attitude was a bit exaggerated, but it was also sincere. If it weren't for Yang Fu's sake, Zhang Xiu would not have killed Ma Teng, but would not have given such good treatment.

This is also because Ma Teng is quite loyal.

Yang Fu was already a little dizzy under Zhang Xiu’s three liang of yellow soup. How much does he value him and how much he gives him face.

He had to sigh in his heart: "The wise and noble people are really the great Sima Zhang."

In short, Zhang Xiu used the [Axe Method] and was really a three-pronged approach. There were only a few moves coming and going, but it worked very well.

This matter was decided in this way. Zhang Xiu, with the chief clerk Cai Mao as his envoy, went to Xishui City to work in the army and declared his intention. He asked Ma Teng to lead his son Ma Chao to meet with his son Ma Dai.

In the Jincheng, he gave Yang Fu a mansion, and the rest of the land, gold and silver, wealth, slaves, etc., to provide one-stop service, and massaged Yang Fu's whole body.

He also appointed Yang Fu as the governor of Liangzhou, with his capital in Jincheng. He handed over the Liangzhou Governor, which was originally built by the great counselors of the shogunate, to Yang Fu's command.

Under these three tricks, Yang Fu was already dizzy and couldn't find Bei, so he could only work for Zhang Xiu.

Who can bear it

Zhang Xiu knows how to [wind].

............

That morning.

Zhang Xiu summoned a group of civil and military officials in the study.

They are the generals of the Western Expedition, Liang, the military affairs of the Qin two prefectures, Yang Fu, the governor of Liangzhou, Yan Xing, the commander of Fubo, Li Li, the captain of the Qiang, Qu Yi, the general of Weibei, and Jiang Jie, the general of Wumeng.

Just now, Zhang Xiu had announced that these people would stay in Liangzhou and Qinzhou as senior officials. Except for the Qinzhou Governor Min Chun, who did not come, all of them were present.

In terms of military affairs, Pang De led 20,000 troops to take charge of Jincheng and coordinate the overall situation.

General Jiang Jie led 10,000 troops to camp in Jicheng, General Qu Yi led 10,000 troops to camp in Jincheng, Li Li, the captain of the Qiang Protector, led 20,000 troops to camp in Qiang, and Yan Xing, the Western Regions Protector, led 20,000 troops to camp in Wuwei.

A total of 80,000 horse and infantry soldiers were stationed in Qinzhou and Liangzhou.

There is nothing we can do about this. Even if Liangzhou and Qinzhou were pacified, they were not the inner confidant, but the border prefectures.

The power of the Qiang people here is still strong, without huge military force suppression, and the Qiang people may rebel again.

The court also needed to communicate with the Western Regions and guard against the Xianbei people in the north. Although 80,000 people were stationed, Zhang Xiu still felt that there were fewer ones.

Fortunately, he stationed heavily in Chang'an. Once there is a change in Liangzhou and Qinzhou, he can send troops to rescue him.

This is the case with the military arrangements. Zhang Xiu was also extremely relieved to the generals. Yang Fu, Li Li, and Zhang Xiu were also relieved to the public, but he had to give some advice.

Zhang Xiu sat in the main seat with a big horse with a golden sword, looked up and said to Yang Fu: "Sir. After decades of war in Liangzhou, the people's customs have become extremely fierce, and the men are extremely warlike. How to resettle Ma Teng and Han Sui's defeated soldiers has become the top priority. Among them, those who still have families must be dismissed, and local counties must provide support. Those who do not have families need to concentrate on farming and then arrange for women to marry them. Once they live a peaceful life, they will no longer want to lick blood on the edge of the knife. But on the contrary, they may gather in rebellion again."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu paused and said, "Before this, I promised to exempt Liangzhou from taxes for one year. But don't worry, Guanzhong will send you to support you in finance and food."

"No." Yang Fu was moved and bowed to agree.

From this we can see who are the ones who quell the troubled times, and who are the ones who started the war.

Zhang Xiu knew that in order to be stable, people's livelihood needed to develop.

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

Ma Teng and Han Sui only know how to fight for military force.

Under Zhang Xiu's many arrangements, Yang Fu is very confident in the development of Liangzhou.

"Give me twenty years to give the court a rich and powerful Liangzhou." Yang Fu's eyebrows were filled with spirit.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, Yang Fu finally found his place in the troubled times, shining for the court and Zhang Xiu.

After giving Yang Fu, Zhang Xiu turned to Li Li, the captain of the Qiang Huqiu, and said, "Sir. As for the matter in the Qiang City, everything is difficult at the beginning. My only hope is that you will become the last Qiang City Huqiu City. After you, there will be no more tribes in the Qiang City, but will implement the county system and be incorporated into Liangzhou. Everyone who can Qiang City can speak fluent Luoyang Mandarin and become a Han citizen."

Zhang Xiu was in great Chinese in his heart, but he was not opposed to the Qiang people.

China is also called Zhuxia.

It was only after the integration of many ethnic groups that the splendid Chinese culture was found. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was known as the eight hundred princes.

Many of the princes were foreign tribes.

In ancient Yizhou, there were two countries, including the Pashu people and the Pas.

Zhang Xiu believed this way: Anyone who can speak Chinese, agrees with Han culture, and knows loyalty, filial piety and etiquette is Han people.

Those who speak other languages ​​are all barbarians.

Of course, those who invaded the Han people were [those who offend me and strong Han will be punished even if they are far away].

In short, Zhang Xiu wanted to make the name of the place [Qiangzhong] an ancient place name. Later, he would use the county system and incorporate it into Liangzhou.

"promise."

Li Li was a lieutenant of the Qiang Guarding School a long time ago. He had always known Zhang Xiu's political propositions and had made sufficient preparations for this. Now he is about to set out for the Qiangzhong area, and he is also full of energy.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu had a lot of talks with Li Li and Yang Fu again.

To change customs, of course, it would be necessary for many people to help. He issued an order to the court, asking the prime ministers to recruit Han people to guard the border, go to Qiang to reclaim wasteland and live in the land, and promote ethnic integration.

All Han people who are willing to go to the Qiang will be exempted for three years and there will be other preferential treatments.

The court was asked to recruit scholars in the Recruitment Hall and the Imperial Academy. Anyone who was willing to serve in the Qiang Middle School or who was teaching would be promoted for five years.

Anyone who is willing to relocate to Qiangzhong will be given preferential treatment in terms of salary.

In short, go to the countryside.

Zhang Xiu will be given generous treatment to anyone who is willing to sacrifice his life and shed his blood for Zhang Xiu's political propositions.

Zhang Xiu also believed that as long as he was given twenty years, in just twenty years, he could digest the Qiang people and make the Qiang people permanent territory.

Of course, in twenty years, it was impossible for Zhang Xiu to see only the Qiang people, as well as the Western Regions, the Wuhuan people in Youzhou, the Xiongnu people, the Southern Barbarians in Yizhou, the Wuxi barbarians in Jingzhou, and the Shanyue people in Yangzhou.

In short, as long as he is allowed to unify the world, he can make the Han people extremely powerful, and even develop Jiaozhi and voyage to the West.

It is not impossible to promote the maritime industry and open up the world.

As long as he unifies the world and lives for a long time.

Of course, this is all off-topic. In short, Zhang Xiu's future may be in Liangzhou for ten years and twenty years, and the officials have talked a lot of words.

The ambitions revealed in the words made the officials present excited and ready to do something.

At the end of the conversation, although Zhang Xiu had a great time talking, he felt dry mouth and red face. He couldn't help but raise his head and asked his personal soldiers to go down to prepare honey mung bean soup to quench his thirst. At this moment, a personal soldiers came in to report: "Mr. Ming Gong, General Cai, General Ma, and Ma Chao, and Ma Dai entered the city from the North City Gate and would soon arrive at the mansion."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "It's just right here, let's meet Ma Gong together."

Zhang Xiu has always been extremely polite to talents. He always goes out to greet him, but this time it is for nothing. Zhang Xiu gives preferential treatment to Ma Teng, but he does not intend to give him military power.

Just like Yu Yao who betrayed Han Sui, Zhang Xiu did not trust these people very much. He just needed to use the position of general and marquis to be promoted.

In other words, Ma Teng is actually not a talent. However, the two young men he brought are one and a half talent.

Not long after, a sound of footsteps sounded. Zhang Xiu raised his head and looked at the door, and saw Ma Teng walking in humbly, following him with Ma Chao and a handsome boy, probably Ma Dai.
