Chapter 782 Western Province(1/2)
Updated: 2013-07-09
The war that lasted for more than half a month finally ended. Outside Keduo City, nearly 50,000 soldiers from Shule Kingdom and some coalition soldiers, and finally the entire army was all over. What Zhao army announced and promoted to the outside world was Shule.
The king of the country and his powerful people and soldiers were all killed in battle outside Keduo City.
In fact, these nearly 50,000 people did not have any survivors. In the last day, they just gathered the battlefield and cleared the corpses, and were busy for three days. Because many corpses were frozen in the snow by ice and snow.
, it was difficult to resettle. In the end, more than 16,000 Zhao soldiers took three days to collect more than 20,000 corpses that had fought day by day, poured them with tinder oil, and burned them.
Zhao Jie and other soldiers who had been in Keduo City for nearly a month also returned successfully with the Zhao army. This time, they could keep the King Shule and 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers from Shule, and these people from Keduo City
, it is an indelible contribution.
After the news of the war at Keduo City reached the southern countries, it immediately shocked the whole country. Some powerful people who had other ideas were also quick to extinguish their thoughts and covered themselves tightly.
I was very afraid that the Zhao army would turn around and would also bring a great purge on the powerful and noble families in the various countries.[
The kings of the countries who had surrendered to the Zhao army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment, and at the same time, they were also sweating profusely. They were also members of the Southern Union in the past. If they hadn't turned around quickly, they would be like King Shule at this moment.
The consequences are to be counted. Although they have lost power and are extremely unhappy in their hearts who have been placed in the rear base of the Zhao army during this period, at this moment, they only have a trace of luck in their hearts.
Zhao Xun was overjoyed after hearing the war. After the Southern Alliance resolved the eastern half, time was approaching the cold winter. Winter combat was not a good time. Although he did not go to the front line, Zhao Xun was also extremely worried. See you now.
If the war is over and the victory is great, how can you be unhappy?
Therefore, after the war was reported, Zhao Xun personally rushed to the capital of King Shule. He came together, and there were officials at all levels who were preparing to take over the local government. Here, Zhao Xun was not prepared to rule slowly, but directly took over the jurisdiction.
, make changes to the national system and system.
In the heavy snow, Zhao Xun entered the Shule King's capital. There was no great damage caused by the war. Although this king was not as good as the big city in the Central Plains, it was not small.
The snow near the city gate had been arranged by the soldiers left by the Zhao army to clean up the young and strong in the city to facilitate the passage of the team. However, the heavy snow quickly covered part of the road. Therefore, under the arrangement of the Zhao army soldiers,
Some young and strong people who are specialized in this matter have to be responsible for regularly cleaning up snow.
Zhao Xun originally did not want to do this, but Wei Zilin and others suggested that in this western part, the prestige of the Great Zhao king should be established and that they should know the majesty of the king. Therefore, on the passage of dozens of miles inside and outside the city gate
, people can be sent to clean up. The kings in the city are gone, and the powerful are gone. But some slaves, those who have no status, are now given new civilian status by the Zhao army, which also makes the capital
The people did not resist the Zhao army.
In addition, many people from other settlements outside the city have begun to gather in the kings and kings. Because Zhao Jun promised their new identities and new tax systems, they needed to apply for new household registration. In addition, some real estate of the powerful and wealthy in the city have been in power.
The Zhao army would allocate and sell it to the people, so there were still a lot of people coming to the royal capital.
In addition to some officials who took over the royal capital and surrounding areas, there were also tens of thousands of Han people. Almost all of these people moved from the Central Plains. In addition to some of the problems with their family life,
In addition to the people of Zhao who wanted to obtain more land and tax exemption policies in this Western Regions, they fled from the southern princes and were organized by the government and came with the baggage team and caravan.
here.
The people of the royal capital were arranged ten miles to welcome by the soldiers left by the Zhao army, spread all over the sides of the avenue. Because of the cold weather, Zhao Xun did not allow them to stay on both sides of the road, but allowed them to go back to the city with the army. Zhao Xun's approach,
It has received the support of many people. However, what the people here really support is the tax exemption policy and the policy of exempting slave identities.
Zhao Xun's team also entered the city under the crowded crowd. When the people waiting in the city saw the banner of the team and the people following behind the team, they all knew that this must be the king of Zhao.
I don't know if it was the soldiers of Zhao army that could arrange it, or the Han people living here started, but who started, but in a moment, they shouted the cry of King Zhao. In an instant, the calls came one after another, and the sounds rang through the sky, shaking the snow on the city walls.
They were all shocked and fell down. Many people around actually didn't see where Zhao Xun's team was, but they heard others shouting, so they also shouted. In the end, the entire Shule king was yelling.
stand up.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the people here are starting to listen to those who support you, and the momentum is so great." Han Meng, the chief general of the personal guard, said with a smile.
"The people's power is very strong and can destroy the world. Now they like me, of course they are so happy. You are also very happy, but one day they don't like me, it will be troublesome. Now, because we give it to you
They are good, so they welcome us so much. If they make them dissatisfied, now, I am afraid that what we are greeted will not be long live shouts, but continuous attacks." Zhao Xun shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Wei Zilin smiled and said, "What the king said is very reasonable! However, now it seems that our officials are doing well here. As long as the first step is done well and a good start, then the next question is,
It is much easier. As for the people here, as long as they are completely integrated into the Han people, we need to worry too much."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "It is not possible to complete the Chineseization of them in a short while. However, it is not difficult for us. All the last elite soldiers of the 50,000 Shule Kingdom were buried.
Kedu City, the largest country in the west, Shule Kingdom, will no longer exist. The rest is to continue to migrate the Han people and to reshape these people."
When he entered the city, Zhao Xun found that the situation here was much better than expected, because there was internal help from attacking the King Shule capital, so there was no large-scale destruction within the capital.
The powerful and royal family in the city, except for the death of King Shule outside Keduo City, were all completely killed in the "Ruan" army" after the city was broken.
In mid-February, shortly after the heavy snow stopped, Li Chenfeng and others led the great victory army to return to the Shule King's Capital, and Zhao Xun personally welcomed him at the city gate. The army returned to the royal capital with the great victory momentum, allowing the people of the Western Regions from all over the world to
Don't be trembling.
In the battle of Kedu City, Zhao Jie's troops, who were above Kedu City, suffered a total of nearly 5,000 soldiers. Of course, compared with the more than 50,000 deaths of the Shule Kingdom of Zhao's army ten times, the Zhao army could do it completely.
Said to be a complete victory.
Li Chenfeng was waiting for millions of silver and precious things measured by various laws. These were carried by the kings and powerful people of Shule and the surrounding countries, preparing to flee west. But in the end, they still fell in love with them.
The Zhao army's hands. For the Zhao army, these powerful people fleeing to the west are beneficial to the Zhao army. After all, the Zhao army did not have to deliberately attack the powerful people, and took advantage of the chaos to obtain the money in the war, so as not to let the people everywhere
The people of the Western Regions were dissatisfied with the Zhao army.[
After hearing the detailed war report, Li Chenfeng was granted the title of Marquis of Pingxi and Zhao Jie was also granted the title of Earl. This was also the two generals who directly awarded the title of third-class titles with military merits in this battle. The other generals were from the Western Regions.
After counting the military merits, they will be enthroned separately.
Next, the rectification and reconstruction work of the southern part of the Western Regions was also fully launched. Because the Zhao army launched the most fierce attack in the Southern Union, killing a large number of soldiers from the alliance countries, and more powerful and kings from the countries
He was killed by the Zhao army in the name of the enemy, so here, the Zhao army's rectification work began very directly and quickly. Of course, no one dared to object. In the land of various countries, those who were originally the masters of the country were either captured
, or they were killed. Now, the people everywhere are slaves and inferior people of the past. When they faced the Zhao army's tax exemption policy, they naturally would not fight against the Zhao army desperately.
Therefore, Zhao Xunhe simply designated the southern land as Xizhou and became another new state under the rule of Zhao. He also arranged the prefectures and counties in the ten prefectures and counties in Xizhou to immediately start a rectification of the prefectures and counties.
The matter. Wei Zilin was also responsible for the full power of Xizhou.
Nowadays, there is a blank space everywhere, and there is too much work to be rebuilt. Wei Zilin was previously responsible for Shangzhou affairs and had a deep understanding and experience of local restructuring. He is the ideal candidate to coordinate the overall situation.
In addition, with Zhao Xun's support, he did not have much worries. Regarding how he was troubled, King Zhao was here, and tens of thousands of Zhao army were also in the Western Regions. Even if there was any accident in this Xizhou, use Zhao Xun
In other words, if there is an accident, then our army will clean up again and completely turn this land of Xizhou into a land of Han people.
After discussing, Zhao Xun and others, in addition to the division of various prefectures and counties, the dispatch of local officials, and the migration of Han people, they also had to build a road in this Western Region. The land of this Western Region will be turned into a cold.
The states are connected. This will not only facilitate the mobilization of the army, but also greatly facilitate the passage of food, grass and materials, so that business will flourish. In addition, Kedu City has also been changed to Xijie City and rebuilt.
It becomes the boundary between Xizhou and the extreme western countries, and it also facilitates the past of the caravans. Of course, it is also the external boundary of Xizhou.
Wei Zilin suggested that a road with a "y" shape in Shangzhou in Xizhou is to build a road with a "y" shape. This road with a "y" shape starts from Liangzhou, extends to Shangzhou and Xizhou respectively, and reaches Suye City in the north and the south.
The Xijie City is the main road and the main road. Secondly, various places build roads connected to each other according to the regional conditions. In this way, the connection between Shangzhou, Xizhou and the Central Plains can be further deepened.
According to Wei Zilin's suggestion, Zhao Xun decided that the main road with the shape of "y" will be started first and built into a cement road, so that the materials and troops can be transported without any change. At that time, this road will definitely become a businessman between the east and the west.
The main road is the main pass. In addition, building a road can not only solve the problems of local stability and trade routes, but also migrate a large number of refugees to this end. After all, this work requires a lot of manpower. In addition, many slaves are exempt from slave status
, plus the migrant Han people also need to survive. At least, in the short term, their source of living is still a problem. Even food cannot grow in one day.
After the war, Zhao Xun did not immediately return to the Central Plains, nor did the army immediately relocate, but continued to take charge of the Western Regions. After all, the newly reclaimed Xizhou land has many problems that need to be solved. There are no powerful ones.
With military strength on the side, some problems are not so easy to solve.
Because a large number of Han people moved here, the fields in Shangzhou and Xizhou were also reclaimed on a large scale. Compared with before, the people of the Western Regions were not good at farming, but since the Zhao army took over the place and the proportion of Han people increased,
The number of fields has also begun to increase on a large scale.
Also because many newly moved Han people and some people who had changed from slave status had no source of income in the short term, they were also recruited by the Zhao army to build new cities, roads and water conservancy projects. With those from Wusun State and Turkic State
The slaves captured by the tribes were different. They could obtain a certain amount of money and food to support themselves and their families when doing things.
You should know that the Zhao army almost ransacked the countries in the Southern Union. Whether the kings of the various countries surrendered or not, the money in their country and the money of some powerful families were plundered by the Zhao army. Now, the Zhao army has done it.
, it was just to return this money to the hands of these people in the name of Zhao Jun benevolence and righteousness.
Fortunately, the carriages passing by are not huge or bulky. There is no need to consider too much loading issues in building the road. However, in order to build these sieges faster, Zhao Xun also contributed a lot of assistance from the thunder.
, the power of digging mountains and carving stones and thundering the sky is much stronger than manual work.
The news that the Zhao army pacified the Western Regions and established another state was passed back to the Central Plains. Suddenly, the entire Central Plains was shocked inexplicably. Many people began to promote Zhao Xun's achievements, saying that Zhao Xun was the true dragon emperor. This was not just Zhao.
People under the country were excited and promoted, even those who were under the other princes began to promote what Zhao Xun did. Even many scholars under the princes began to compare Zhao Xun with these princes, so that
They truce to calm the people.
The princes in the southern Central Plains were both envious and jealous of Zhao Xun's achievements in the Western Regions, and were also very annoyed. They were envious and jealous of the Zhao army's ability to win consecutive battles and expand their territory. What was annoyed was that the officials and scholars under him began to deal with each other.
They became disinterested in their own hearts and virtues. Many great scholars used them to compare with Zhao Xun, which made them jealous and angry. However, they could not attack these famous great scholars casually.
Speaking of expanding territory, both the King of Qi and the King of Shu can do it. However, now, where do they have the energy to do these? If they have the energy to do these, they will not be afraid of Zhao Xun. The rear is unstable, so how can they have the energy to do it?
Bit expansion?
Zhao Xun naturally ignored the situation in the Central Plains. Of course, he also needed to pay attention to it deliberately. The more obvious his achievements in the Western Regions, the higher the gap between his princes and the southern princes in the future. At that time, the southern expedition will be.
The difficulty will become smaller and smaller. Now, Zhao Xun still focuses on Xizhou. Building a place does not mean that he can control a place. If he does not completely control this place, how can Zhao Xun be willing to do so?
As the weather warmed up, the farming in Xizhou and Shangzhou began to take place. Food is the most important thing for the people, and Zhao Xun naturally understood the importance of food to the people. Since ancient times, dynasties have changed, except for foreign enemies invading.
In addition, it is almost always because the people even have a problem with eating, and they will raise their flags to rebel.
With the migration of Han people, the farming of the two states in the Western Regions began to become mainstream. Some people from the Western Regions also followed the Han people and began to transform into farming. Of course, this is what Zhao Xun hopes to see. The countries in the Western Regions are not
