Chapter 615 Thousands of threads
The matter of Yizhou being transferred to Jiangdong's rule has been confirmed, but the matter of funding Jiangdong to build Yizhou has not been decided.
After coming out of the palace, Zhuge Ke and Gu Tan sighed. Today, there were more debates on how to allocate Xizhou, governing it, and whether Wusun, who had fled north, would continue to pursue it. As for Yizhou, it obviously did not receive enough attention.
It’s not surprising to think about it. After all, although the Eastern Wu now pays tribute to the Han Dynasty, it actually does not pay tribute, and has absolute autonomy and is not dominated by the Han Dynasty in any way. In the Western Regions, it is the main body of the Han Dynasty, especially the 300,000 people in Dayuan, which is really a bit jealous!
"Brother Yuan Xun, should you visit Prime Minister Zhuge today?" Gu Tan looked at Zhuge Ke and asked with a smile.
Zhuge Liang was a person below one person in the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Ke's younger brother Zhuge Qiao is now Zhuge Liang's stepson. With this connection, maybe you can ask Zhuge Liang for help.
"It's time to visit." Zhuge Ke nodded. Even if there was no such thing, according to etiquette, he should have visited Zhuge Liang when he came to Chang'an. He had not visited him before to avoid suspicion. Now that he has seen the emperor, he should have visited his uncle.
"By the way, where is Dayuan? Have Yuan Xun been there?" Gu Tan said curiously. Their understanding of Dayuan was more from historical books. He knew that there were many good horses, but the specificity was unknown. It was thousands of miles away from Middle-earth, and no one thought of capturing Dayuan.
If you really occupy it, how to manage it?
Even if you set out from Chang'an to Dayuan, it will probably take several months to get there, right?
"I haven't been there." Zhuge Ke said with a wry smile. After the Central Plains scholars finished their studies, the city chose to study abroad to increase their experiences. However, just after walking in the Central Plains, there were not many people abroad, at least Zhuge Ke had never been there.
"I'll pick some gifts." Gu Tan nodded and didn't say anything. The development of the Han Dynasty over the years was too strong. Who would have thought that the Western Regions would be taken down by the other party so quietly, and the territory of thousands of miles... cannot be compared.
"I found some clues in the court today, and it may be useful in the future." Zhuge Ke suddenly smiled when he remembered the problems in the court.
"Oh?" Gu Tan looked at Zhuge Ke.
"It's not convenient to speak here." Zhuge Ke looked around and shook his head and said, "Go to visit my uncle first."
Gu Tan: "..."
...
The matter of the Eastern Wu requesting assistance was finally left unresolved. Although the Han Dynasty is now strong, there are many places to use money. Liu Yi is preparing to establish several city passes in Dayuan to prevent the Kushan, that is, the Yuezhi in the past and Kangju in the north. The Kushan, Kangju and Wusun are similar to those of the Huns and Xianbei, and they are all without a fixed place. Now that they have taken over Dayuan, the Han Dynasty's control has reached its limit. Even if the rail car is running day and night, it will take more than half a month to reach Guishan City without considering the weather changes. No matter how far it is, it will be impossible to control it.
Although Yuezhi can walk through the mountain roads in Shuzhong, so the distance will be closer, even laying wooden tracks is much more difficult than laying wooden tracks in Xiliang and the Western Regions, and Liu Yi cannot consider these for the time being.
When Liu Yi received the reply, it was already late autumn, and the Dayuan County Governor sent by the imperial court were also here.
"General Luther?" Liu Yi looked at Luther who was sending the letter a little outside, and smiled: "I don't want the court to send you here."
When Luther came to seek shelter with eight hundred soldiers, he fought a battle with the Han army's defenders at that time. However, it was beneficial to the city. In addition, the guards were Wei Chang, who had rich combat experience. After getting used to European-style tactics, he could always find a way to deal with them.
Going west to the Western Regions, especially Dayuan, the tactics are closer to European tactics. Liu Yi was studying strategies to break the enemy at that time, and Luther was almost treated as the vanguard of Dayuan and was taken over by Liu Yi.
"General Luther was born in the Qin Dynasty. He should know more about the matter here than we know. He appointed General Luther as the cavalry commander and stationed in Dayuan." The new Dayuan prefect, who came here, was also an acquaintance. It was Zhang Yuan, the former Wuwei prefect. Zhang Yuan, was appointed as the Marquis of Guannei in recent years because of his achievements. In recent years, Zhang Yuan was appointed as the Marquis of Guannei and went to the court to listen to him. This time, the prefect of Dayuan needs to be familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions and have sufficient experience to govern. Zhang Yuan just met this requirement, so he was sent to serve as the prefect of Dayuan, and accompanied him with a group of students who had just advanced to the school in the academy.
This is what Liu Yi asked for.
He just graduated and was full of passion, and was the most enterprising time. For Guo Jia, who has his own culture like Dayuan, the experience of the Central Plains cannot be copied. It is better to use those experienced young people who are not experienced but creative enough to use them.
Dayuan's capture is not only as simple as adding a county to the Han Dynasty and having a population of hundreds of thousands. It is also a window and portal for the Han Dynasty to exchange with countries in the entire Eurasian continent. Liu Yi hopes that the Han Dynasty can absorb more ideas.
"Mr. Sikong, what do I need to do now?" Luther smiled.
"It's right in Chinese." Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted Luther on the shoulder, signaling the two of them to sit down and say, "Have you ever asked me to go back to the court?"
Liu Yi told Liu Chan that the day when the Western Regions were pacified was the time when he returned to the court, so he asked this question.
"No." Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty said that Sikong is most familiar with this place and knows how to manage it. It will not be too late for Sikong to leave after the matter is over here."
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll stay for a little longer, and you two will follow me." Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Although Dayuan has captured, the situation is not optimistic. If he wants to call him back to the court at this time, all his efforts may be wasted.
Liu Yi brought the two of them to a wide hall, where there was a huge sand table with a baton hooked up with equipment.
"Incredible!" Luther looked at the sand table with some surprise. The entire terrain of Dayuan, including the towns below Dayuan, were all here.
"Although Dayuan has been abandoned, he can't speak. There are three problems at present. One is that he can't speak and communicate. This problem must be solved as soon as possible. Second, the people do not follow him. The people of Dayuan are quite repulsive to our Han Dynasty. Third, they are surrounded by other places, with Kangju in the north and Kushan in the west. These two are powerful countries in the Western Regions, with hundreds of thousands of warriors. However, I only brought 10,000 Western troops to attack Dayuan, and about 40,000 local troops. I have begun to dig the foundations in this area and prepare to build several city walls to defend the invading enemies, but it will take at least half a year. Therefore, in terms of diplomacy, we need to deal with these two countries, so that we have enough time to govern Dayuan."
Zhang Yuan nodded. Although he had thought about the difficulty of this trip, he had never thought it would be so difficult. He frowned and said, "Sikong, this person from Dayuan looks very different from my great man. It may not be easy to merge with him."
"Unity, communication, the easiest thing to do, let them work together, I have sent a letter to His Majesty to mobilize a group of people to fill Dayuan, and at the same time, the population of Dayuan will be sent to various places." Speaking of this, Liu Yi rubbed his temples. Although this method is good, it is not easy. First of all, you have to talk about these Dayuan residents. Given the degree of rejection of the Han people in Dayuan today, it is not easy.
"General Luther is also from the Western Regions. Can you communicate with them?" Zhang Yuan suddenly looked at Luther and asked.
"I'm afraid this won't work." Luther smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There are many countries such as Kangju, Anxi, and Kushan in the Western Regions. The language of the Qin Dynasty cannot be used, and I can't understand what they say."
"There are many people in Dayuan who know Chinese. I have asked them to gather some people who are willing to get close to the Han Dynasty to learn Chinese, but this speed is too slow and people's hearts are unstable, so it is not easy to do anything." Liu Yi sighed.
Zhang Yuan nodded. This was indeed a problem. He looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sikong, at this time, he should use thunder to arrest those who gathered people to cause trouble and spread unfavorable remarks. There is no need to kill them. Many mines in Xizhou are short of staff. They can be sent to these places, and they can be given food, but they are not rewarded. This is considered to be a merit and a merit. In addition, a prison like the Luoyang Heavenly Prison is still built?"
Luoyang Tianzhu is now basically equivalent to an official prison. Officials basically send them there when they commit crimes. If a prison with similar abilities is built here, it may not be impossible.
"Try it." Liu Yi nodded. Although the attributes can be controlled in the general direction, it is not certain what attributes are available, and he dare not guarantee them.
However, more buildings such as goodwill and unity and ethnic integration can be built.
"Of course, there is good news," Liu Yi smiled and said, "This Dayuan country is mainly farming, and it grows rice and wheat. Its lifestyle is similar to that of our great man. You can start from this aspect."
"This official can preside over the presidency, but please send some people who can communicate for me to give it to me." Zhang Yuan nodded and smiled.
"This is not difficult." Liu Yi nodded. There were many Dayuan vendors who had traded with the Dahan at the time. These people were also the first group of people to express their loyalty to Liu Yi. Of course, Liu Yi dared not use it indiscriminately now, but it is good to use it as a translator.
"General Luther!" Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Luther.
"Mr. Sikong, please give me instructions." Luther performed a Great Qin etiquette.
"Now there are 10,000 Xizhou troops and 40,000 surrendered troops. I will give you 5,000 Xizhou troops and 5,000 Dayuan troops. You are responsible for integrating and reorganizing them, and being responsible for the defense and public security of various places. I am going to take other people to the mountain pass to build the city wall. If there is any major event, come and report to me immediately." Liu Yi handed a command arrow to Luther and said: "Huang Rongjiu is in the army. In the next time, he will serve as your deputy general, that is, the deputy general. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask him."
"As for the order!" Luther bowed and took the command arrow handed over by Liu Yi with a solemn expression.
"I'll leave it to both of you next." Liu Yi looked at them and said with a smile.
