Chapter 2829: There was sudden chaos in the Xihai camp, and there was order in the general hall.
In the yamen of Huqi Mansion in Chang'an.
The discussion gradually deepened into some substantive issues.
These problems were once either not discovered or deliberately ignored for three to four hundred years, but now they are put on the table and presented to everyone...
Confront him and deal with him.
Even if the optimal solution cannot be obtained temporarily, it can become a reference and experience for the next step or for the next generation to solve problems.
Pang Tong first said: "In my opinion, affairs should be managed by states and prefectures. There are also so-called states in the Western Regions. We should not grant canonization lightly to avoid changing seals and creating old things, which is a pity. Only those who have surrendered can be conferred."
, should be like the methods of the Southern Xiongnu, the way of education, and the seals and ribbons of the Han Dynasty must not be used as a bargaining chip for good relations."
In fact, China has never had a relatively complete or long-term foreign affairs reserve for foreign countries. From talents to institutions, it is like using whomever it catches...
And there is little coherence in diplomacy.
During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty made an agreement with the Xiongnu. The south of the Great Wall belonged to the Han Dynasty, and the north of the Great Wall belonged to the Huns. Neither side was allowed to accept surrender from the other side.
This was considered a very formal foreign affairs covenant, and it was a formal covenant between two relatively powerful regimes at the time. However, this covenant did not play its role, and then the Xiongnu threw this covenant aside. Only when the Han Dynasty knew it
Send someone to arrest him, and if you don't know, just leave it alone.
For example, Wang Jugu, the queen of chariots, and Tangdou, the king of Hu Lai, defected to the Huns because they resented the captain of the Han Dynasty's military guard. Zhonglang general Han Long and others went to the Huns as envoys. They strongly condemned the Xiongnu Nangzhi Yasi Shanyu and forced them to use hard and soft methods.
Chanyu handed over Ju Gu and Tang Dou for execution.
Then there were the so-called "Four Articles of Creation", that is, "Those who surrendered to the Huns from the Chinese, those who surrendered to the Huns from Wusun, those from the Western Regions who wore Chinese seals and ribbons to surrender to the Huns, and those who surrendered to the Huns from Wuhuan were not allowed to accept it."
However, such regulations were not written down and were not recognized by the surrounding states. With the demise of the Xiongnu, they gradually became ineffective.
Xun You nodded and said: "In any mediocre government, if there are internal troubles, there will be external troubles! The key to governance is to seek truth and rightness, not to seek swords. Today, four hundred years ago and after the Governor of the Western Regions, current affairs have changed, and new laws and regulations should be adopted.
It’s all about being thorough.”
Pang Tong and Xun You both told the same story, which was also a loophole in the Western Regions in the past. There was no separation of powers and responsibilities, and the country was unclear, and the resulting problem of "creating four articles".
"The construction is really a waste of time!"
"How can you replenish it over and over again, especially if you don't know how to be a warning?!"
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall...
……(*?Д?*)……
In the camp outside Xihai City, suddenly fireworks rose and people and horses were in chaos.
This camp, which was originally used to protect Xihai City and guard against military affairs in the Western Region, suddenly became chaotic.
This camp is quite strong. It was originally erected according to the standards of semi-permanent fortifications when Li Ru was still there. In addition to the core area of the central tent, there are also quite a few functional blocks in the surrounding areas.
It is like a small military city, and it is the corner of Xihai City.
But on this day, a riot broke out within the camp.
In the camp, someone suddenly went on a killing spree!
The soldiers who were attacked shouted loudly and rushed out of the tents or shacks in chaos. Some of the commanders at the bottom were not aware of what was going on, but they still managed to control the situation, asking the soldiers to close the gates of the camp and go up to the camp.
Walls, armor, weapons, and preparations for defense! These corps commanders subconsciously looked in the direction of the Chinese army's tent, but they discovered that at the first moment, no messengers rushed out to deliver the order...
…
Although the appearance of these soldiers in the Xihai camp has become less orderly, after all, they are mostly veteran soldiers who have experienced many battles. Now that chaos has suddenly broken out, and they have not been effectively commanded for the time being, these soldiers do not know
What happened, could only be restrained by instinct. I don't know whether I should go to the Chinese army's tent and wait for orders, or form a defensive formation and wait and see what happens.
Inside the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Liao held his sword and looked at General Ma Pian, "Interesting... It seems you are not as useless as Supervisor Zhang said..."
Although Zhang An was able to track and record most of the officials in Xihai City, after all, there was a difference between civil and military affairs. His understanding of the military camps outside the city was not as profound as those of the civilian officials in the city, and he only stayed at the superficial impression. Of course, this
When Zhang An gave Zhang Liao information before, he also provided relevant supplementary explanations.
"What other methods are there?" Zhang Liao stared at General Ma Pian and said, "You might as well use them all... Let me guess, there should be some people lying in wait outside the camp, waiting to see chaos in the camp.
Are you taking advantage of the chaos?"
Ma Pianjiang moved quietly outside and shouted loudly, "General Zhang, it's useless even if you kill me! Now in Sihai City, you can't have the final say just by carrying a scepter!"
As he finished speaking, he heard the faint sound of horse hoofbeats outside the military camp.
Immediately, there were more shouts and shouts rising in the distance, like a subtle wave surging, and then gradually getting bigger, until it developed into a huge wave that extinguished Zhang Liao in the camp!
Zhang Liao stood up slowly, "Finally something interesting... I was wondering before, how could you, a bunch of beasts who only attribute mistakes to others, surrender and plead guilty?"
Ma Pianjiang smiled ferociously, "You think bringing some guards will be useful? I have people too! Come on! Come on! Kill him! Kill him!"
……(〃′ Pan`)=-……
Fei Qian looked at Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who did not dare to express their opinions easily, and shouted, "Shenlu Yuanzheng."
"I'm here." Guo Tu responded quickly and respectfully.
"What laws can be applied to the state affairs of the Western Region countries now?" Fei Qian asked.
Guo Tu's eyes widened and he searched hard in his mind, but couldn't find it.
Indeed there is not...
The Han Dynasty has not had it for three to four hundred years.
It's interesting, but what's even more interesting is not only the Han Dynasty, but the subsequent feudal dynasties still only focused on the domestic people and formulated a set of laws every day, as well as the foreign people...
For example, in Edinburgh, it is true Edin, but it is not Edinson who loves Edinson, but the foreigner.
First of all, Fei Qian felt that the most important thing in establishing the Western Region Protector was to control the military and diplomatic power in the Western Region.
In terms of military power, although it cannot be said that the Han Dynasty does not pay attention to it, there is no better method. He only knows how to make peace, provoke, alienate and other means. If someone discovers it, it will be easily ineffective. Why can't it be like this? How about a selection of civilized countries in the Western Regions, like in later generations?
If it is promoted well, it is impossible to say that all the countries in the Western Regions will steal children's desks!
In addition, a large piece of diplomatic power is also missing.
"The title granted to the rulers of the Western Regions is nothing more than a restraint," Fei Qian said again, "It is no different from the law of the Huns' child servants in the past... In the Shenlu Court, is there any relevant law that can be explained? 』
Guo Tu swallowed his saliva and said, "My lord, my lord... let's organize people to discuss this law..."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Military, foreign relations, government affairs, and wealth, these four things are the key to enlightenment. First, weaken the military, control the soldiers, draw the heroes to your own use, weaken the people, and then weaken them. Army, contain its soldiers, and it will take a long time."
"Fanjiao. A country that has been entrusted with the title cannot be handed over to a foreign country without authorization. It should be governed by the same laws as the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty." Fei Qian called out Guo Tu, "Gongzhi, this should be classified as a law and its scope should be determined."
"Only, I have remembered it," Guo Tu replied repeatedly.
Wealth and internal affairs are internal affairs within a state, and intervening from the beginning is likely to cause dissatisfaction. However, if military operations and diplomatic alliances are delegated to dependencies or vassals, these guys can play all kinds of tricks in a matter of minutes. , the so-called canonization has become a joke.
Pang Tong said: "It can be said that Li Ershi's old rule is that all countries that canonize are not allowed to pay tribute to each other, and tribute envoys must be escorted by Han people..."
Fei Qian nodded, "In addition, newly entrusted states will establish new embassies to communicate with each other and coordinate foreign affairs. The number of people will depend on the size of the state. For other affairs, the Fanyuan will be temporarily established under the Shenluyuan. , to be determined later.』
Guo Tu quickly agreed again.
Fei Qian turned to look at Feng Ji, "The Examination Department has just been established, and the affairs are complicated, but you can't get bogged down in trivial matters and delay your duties. The Protector of the Western Regions is like a prefecture, with laws and regulations, and each can perform his or her duties before he can know something. Find someone to avoid the disadvantages of being too busy and not being dedicated to the task.』
Fengji also nodded repeatedly to show that he remembered.
In the legal system of the Han Dynasty, all aspects of the Duhufu government lacked clear definitions, and they have never been improved. In the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty, the powers of officials at all levels were divided into scopes, and they were very clear. For example, in local administration, the prefect is in charge of the military affairs of a county and has the right to review the active local troops in the capital examination. The county captain is in charge of the county soldiers and is responsible for daily military operations to exterminate local bandits, etc. As for the governor's history department, it is responsible for supervising impeachment, etc. wait.
However, among the Protectors of the Western Regions and the Wuji Colonels, it was not clear how to legally exercise their powers in accordance with the provisions of the laws. Everything was very confusing. This was because the Han Dynasty had always been blank in the rules and regulations in this regard in the Western Regions.
Because the legal system of the Han Dynasty lacks detailed regulations on the positioning, functions and powers of the Protectorate, and it fails to clarify its relations with foreign countries, so when people from the Protectorate or envoys of the Han Dynasty go to other countries to establish diplomatic relations,
Often one can only rely on the personal ability of the messenger to speak.
Of course it is good to have strong envoys, but who can guarantee that all envoys in the past three to four hundred years will be as powerful as Ban Dingyuan?
The law is a guaranteed minimum limit.
At that time, Hu Hanxie sued for peace from the Han Dynasty in a semi-submissive manner. The two sides stipulated the so-called national boundary of "from the south of the Great Wall to the emperor, and to the north of the Great Wall to the Chan Yu", which was equivalent to the Huns claiming to give up the war between Han and Hungary.
The Han Dynasty also had the rights to the captured Hexi Corridor, the Hetao area and the southern foothills of the Yinshan Mountains. The Han Dynasty also returned the Outer Great Wall area to the Huns as appropriate and withdrew their garrison. The boundaries between the two sides were legally demarcated.
This is generally a good thing, but the big man did not let this good thing take effect.
The Han Dynasty did not realize that the rule in the Western Regions would extend to such a far-reaching situation. After all, it was just a casual move at the beginning. As a result, the Western Regions were under the independent rule of the Duhufu for a long time. There was no basis for it internally and no external support.
The lack of widespread recognition also made the Central Court uneasy about the Western Regions and suspicious of its rulers.
There is no good means of control externally, so it is laissez-faire.
He granted great powers to the Great Protector of the Western Regions, but he was also afraid that his guardian would be too heavy-handed to defeat the enemy.
In three or four hundred years, even a stone can be heated. As a result, even now, the entire Western Region has not been able to be effectively developed. All the problems are still repeated, and they are constantly lost between selfish desires and fear.
"As for the past events in the Western Regions, we should choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."
"There is no way in the world, only those who follow it can find their way!"
"Now the way to the Western Region is convenient for you and me..."
……(*`ェ′*)……
"Kill!"
The sound of clashing weapons and the shouts of soldiers sounded chaotically outside the Chinese army tent.
Figures swayed outside the tent, weapons collided from time to time, screams fell to the ground, and the sound of blood splattering could be heard.
But no one rushed in...
Something seems to be wrong with the situation.
Ma Pianjiang's hands were trembling and his face was a little pale.
Aren't Zhang Liao's guards just the ones at the door? Why haven't the manpower he arranged been able to kill those guards and rush in?
Listening to the noise outside the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Liao calmly looked at General Ma Pian and the other three people in front of him.
"What are you waiting for?" Zhang Liao said with a smile.
"..." The horse rolled his eyes randomly.
"What other options do you have? You might as well use them," Zhang Liao slowly approached the horse, "If not..."
Ma Qianqian's mouth trembled a little. He pointed at Zhang Liao and shouted to the other three people, "You still don't do it?! Do it!"
Ma Zian changed his original plan, but now there seems to be some deviation!
After the initial deception failed, the only remaining option was to take action. However, the axemen and crossbowmen who were supposed to appear at the first moment when Ma Piianjiang sent the signal disappeared at this moment...
Although Zhang Liao has guards, what can he do?
Even if Zhang Liao is extremely brave, what can he do?
Using the axemen and crossbowmen together, not only can they kill Zhang Liao's guards, but they can also take Zhang Liao's life!
This is why General Ma Pian felt that he had a chance to win and dared to fall out with Zhang Liao. As long as he could block Zhang Liao's first few blows, Zhang Liao would be killed on the spot by the incoming swordsmen and crossbowmen!
But……
Why didn't you come?
How could you not come?!
Ma Pianjiang watched Zhang Liao slowly pull out the sword, and the bright blade flashed with cold light. Just when he was about to prepare for the final fight with Zhang Liao, suddenly a cold light flashed at the corner of his eye, and then he felt a cold light under his ribs.
Cool!
Immediately, Ma Qianjiang felt as if all the strength in his body was released with a sneer, his legs and feet became weak, and then Ma Qianjiang felt a sharp pain coming from his side ribs, which made him howl out in pain!
Ma turned around and saw Jin Xi, who had been lowering his head, twisting the dagger in his hand viciously!
"Ah! Ahhh!" Ma Xianjiang used up his last strength and tried to push Jinxi away, but he couldn't push it away at all!
Jin Xi himself was a veteran on the battlefield, and he knew the vital points of the human body very well. With one blow, he was ready to kill him on the spot. How could General Ma Pian still have the strength to fight back?
Jin Xi gritted his teeth and used force on his hands, "Damn you thief, go to hell!"
Zhang Liao slowly took back the half-drawn sword, tapped his fingers on the handle a few times, frowned and looked at General Ma Pian, and then looked at Jin Xi.
"Pfft..." Jin Xi pushed Ma Xianjiang to the ground, and then quickly knelt down again and kowtowed, "General Zhang! I was forced by this thief! Everything is like this.
What a bitch did! I am loyal to Hussar and I will never change my mind!"
The other two military academies also bowed down together and echoed, saying that they were all coerced by General Ma, and then had no choice but to cooperate with General Ma. Now they are willing to bring order to the chaos, and are also willing to serve as witnesses to identify those generals.
Cronies, as well as those who have contact with General Ma Pian inside and outside Xihai City...
Outside the Chinese army's tent, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps, and there seemed to be many people.
Jin Xi was stunned for a moment, his expression became stiffer, and his words of begging for mercy were also stopped.
The light and shadow outside the big tent shook for a moment. Menghua opened the door curtain. His whole body was filled with the strong smell of blood. He walked in without looking at Jinxi and the others, nor at the body of General Ma Pian on the ground.
The heads he was carrying were thrown to the ground, and he saluted Zhang Liao with his hands raised, "Fortunately, you did not disgrace your life!"
The heads were rolling and bouncing on the ground...
"It turns out it's you..." Jin Xi suddenly trembled, then saw Meng Hua, and suddenly realized, he turned to Zhang Liao hurriedly, with Qiqing on his face, "General! Back then, I also worked with the general for a period of time!"
The general thinks that I have many years..."
"That's enough!" Zhang Liao waved his hand.
"Ah?" There was still noisy outside the tent. Jin Xi didn't hear what Zhang Liao said clearly. He just saw Zhang Liao waving his hands and thought that Zhang Liao had pardoned him. He couldn't help but feel a little happy, "Thank you, thank you so much, general..."
Zhang Liao was also stunned for a moment, then he understood and couldn't help laughing.
The three people in Jinxi were so embarrassed that they didn't know whether they should laugh along or continue to pretend to be pitiful.
"Let me tell you..." Zhang Liao held the handle of the knife, "The impression I left on you back then...is it so easy to deceive?"
Jin Xi's expression changed, but before he could make any move, he was faced with a bright sword light!
……(〃＞ dishes＜)∫→……
In the lobby of the General's Mansion.
"Gongda." Fei Qian ordered, "Use the benefits of the Western Region as the topic and let the students of the academy discuss it for fifteen days. The outstanding ones will be selected and rewarded. During the imperial examination, the best ones can be selected."
Xun You agreed.
"Now that we know its shortcomings, we should change it." Fei Qian said slowly, "Today's discussion can be recorded by the scholar, and reported to the county from his residence. If you have a good idea, you can state it on the table."
Pang Tong also nodded.
"The discussion of public principles and relevant laws is the top priority of the Legal Council." Fei Qian looked at Guo Tu and said.
Guo Tu's beard trembled, "I accept your order!"
"Yuan Tu," Fei Qian said to Feng Ji again, "the Kao Gong Division has the responsibility of judging the good and the bad of officials. There is something going on in the Western Regions this time, and many officials have committed illegal acts. This is the battle for the Kao Gong Division to rectify its name. If Yuan Tu needs people, please report them."
"You must remember not to be partial to others, not to bend the law, not to omit anything, and not to make unnecessary additions. If it can be practiced in the Western Regions, it can be practiced throughout the world. This can be called a great achievement."
I bowed gratefully, "I will definitely live up to my lord's trust!"
Fei Qian nodded, "This matter in the Western Regions has a lot to do with it, so we must not be careless. If it is established as a law now, it can be said that the success will be in the future. You should work hard!"
The four of them looked at each other, then stood up together, bowed their hands, and said, "I accept your order!"
