In the Chongzheng Hall, a huge map of the Imperial Han Dynasty hangs high on the side of the hall. After the registers and atlases of the southern states were transported to Beijing, Kaifeng had a secretary to sort them into categories and quickly digest them. A map of the entire territory under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty was also shipped.
The painting was created by Xue Juzheng, who selected thirty professionals of various types and took three months to complete it.
The map in the Chongzheng Hall is the most detailed one. Mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, states, cities, counties, and cities are all marked on it. Although it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to visit every inch of land, he can at least pass the map. This is the most detailed map.
Intuitive way to understand the territory of the Han Dynasty, and fully appreciate the country he has built.
Of course, this is not just a picture, but also a complete set of introductions about the geography, customs, folk conditions, etc. of various states and counties. It can be said to be a national journal. If it were not to organize this information, it would not require so many people.
It took so long.
At this time, Emperor Liu once again admired the territory of the Han Dynasty. To say that it was vast, it was inevitable that it would reach Yinshan Mountain in the north, start from the East China Sea in the east, reach Qiongzhou in the south, and cross the quicksand in the west. The only pity is that there is one end missing in the east and one in the west.
One tail, and some corners added. If you want to achieve perfection, it will take time.
However, looking across Dahan's Daozhou, Emperor Liu couldn't help but reveal a bit of relief in his eyes. Today's Dahan has been re-divided into twenty-three roads, namely Gyeonggi Province and Gyeongsin Province.
, Jiangnan Road, Jiangxi Road, Liangzhe Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road.
Compared with before, there have been considerable adjustments. Huaibei Road was abolished, part of it was merged into Huaidong, and part was merged into Gyeonggi Province. The newly established Henan Road included most of the original Huaibei Road and part of Hebei East Road. Hebei 1
The previous east-west separation was changed to include Juma River and Baigou as boundaries, Yanshan Road to the north, Hebei Road to the south, Yuanhuai, Wei, Chanzhou and Gyeonggi Road.
Jinan Road was changed to Jingxi Road, and An and Fuzhou were placed under Hubei Road. Originally, Jinghu Road was divided into Hubei and Hunan roads, bounded by the Dongting line. Hubei Road was governed by Jiangling Prefecture, and the east side was divided into two.
Ezhou is included, and the south includes Yuezhou, Langzhou and other prefectures and counties that originally belonged to Hunan.
Lingnan is divided into east and west roads, the old land of Fujian is Fujian Road, the old land of the Southern Tang Dynasty is Jiangnan, Jiangxi Liangdao, Chi, and the east of Shezhou are Jiangnan Road and the west is Jiangxi Road. The territory under Wuyue's jurisdiction is Liangzhe Road, but
Fuzhou was naturally assigned to Fujian, and Suzhou was also assigned to Jiangnan Province.
The changes in Huaixi and Huaidong are not big, but there are adjustments in individual states and counties. As for Shanyang, Hedong, Shannan, Jiannan, and Sichuan, they basically follow the previous distribution, and there are no major changes.
The Longyou Road starts from Fengxiang in the east, Dalan and Shan areas in the west, and basically includes all the results of Wang Jing's land development, which belongs to the stable period of expansion. The Guannai Road covers a large area of land to the west of Shaanzhou, including Dingnan
The Xia Sui states where the army is located and the areas where Dangxiang is distributed are temporarily included in the Guannei Road.
The Hexi Road is centered on Liangzhou and Lingzhou, and the actual area under its control is not large, but in Emperor Liu's mind, it includes the Gansu and Suzhou states that are still in the hands of the Uighurs, as well as those pastures, deserts, and oases.
This should be the territory of the Han Dynasty.
However, Emperor Liu's eyes fell on the Guannai Road at this time. Emperor Liu felt that it was a bit too big. The straight-line distance from Chang'an to the northernmost junction with Shanyang Road was eight or nine hundred miles. In terms of Taoism, , it is simply impossible to achieve effective management and governance.
Of course, this was only a temporary measure. To the north of Yanzhou, the prefectures and counties controlled by the Dingjun Army and the areas where the Party members were active were like the Uighurs in Gansu, which made Emperor Liu feel more and more dazzled.
Although Liu Chengyou's main focus in the future will be on domestic adjustments and sorting out, his aggressive goals and plans for the northwest region will not change. The experience from later generations told Emperor Liu that if the northwest is uneven, the world will be uneasy.
Even in these years, the life of the Dingnan Army has become increasingly difficult. On the one hand, there is external pressure from the court, and on the other hand, the internal struggle has become more intense. Although Li Kerui still firmly controls Xiazhou and Youzhou, Suizhou and Yinzhou It is completely out of its control.
It would be good to say that the Dingnan Army at this time, even if all added up, could mobilize an army of 10,000 people. Moreover, it is in a state of division. In addition, there are Han border troops on the side and Lu Duoxun on the east. Running westward, constantly dividing and bribing the Dangxiang tribes, it can be said that the current power of the disaster-defeating army is vulnerable to a single blow.
With the second peace negotiation between Han and Liao, Li Guangrui became completely honest and did not dare to make any changes openly. Interestingly, in the first two years, Li Guangrui continued to go to the court, hoping to return Li Yiyin, but As my butt gradually became more stable, I stopped mentioning it. I only brought a greeting and a gift to Li Yiyin during the New Year and festivals when I paid tribute to Tokyo.
As for Xia Guogong Li Yiyin, he has been staying in Kaifeng for four years. The court did not treat him badly. All his food and clothing were provided according to specifications, but his freedom was greatly restricted. Later, he was simply imprisoned. Ming There are soldiers on the surface, spies behind the scenes, and spies behind the scenes.
In such a restrained and depressing life, the old Li Yiyin's spirit and body were getting weaker day by day. As a result, it was even more difficult to travel back to the northwest. Last time, when he learned that Li Yiyin was ill, he sent an imperial eunuch to express his concern. The doctor went to diagnose and treat him.
Not long ago, Li Yiyin went to court and said that he was already ill and that he was not going to die soon. He hoped to be buried in his hometown. Emperor Liu agreed and promised that he would be buried in his hometown, well, after his death.
Even though the imperial doctor reported to Emperor Liu several times that Li Yiyin was indeed ill and would not live long, Emperor Liu's suspicion prevented him from neglecting it at all. With the current situation, the Difficult Army is just a piece of meat on the chopping board and can be used at any time. Take it, don't want any surprises to happen.
Li Yiyin wanted to impress himself by returning the burial to his homeland. The kind Emperor Liu would not be so ruthless. When he died, he would notify Li Guangrui to help the coffin...
Although the Dingnan Army is not a concern, the Dangxiang people have to pay attention to it. Perhaps they are unwilling to admit it in their hearts, but the reality is that the Xia Sui area is already the territory of the Dangxiang people. They have been nomadic, hunting, and cultivating there for too long. So long that blood and soil are connected.
Just like Lu Duoxun's previous advice to him, the Dangxiang people and the Dangxiang people should be treated separately. According to Emperor Liu's thoughts, naturally he would not allow the Dangxiang people to live freely in the land of the Han Dynasty as before. Household registration and taxation must be carried out. At the same time, Emperor Liu also had a number in his mind. After all, the Dangxiang people were not barbarians from the southwest. If they went too far, it would definitely cause a radical change. How to operate it needed to be carefully considered.
Perhaps, Lu Duoxun should be called back to discuss the matter? Emperor Liu thought this way. After several journeys to the west and serving in the northwest for many years, Lu Duoxun had grown into the official of the Han Dynasty who had the most say in northwest affairs.
"Your Majesty!" The cautious steps behind him stopped, and Emperor Liu heard Lu Yin's call.
Emperor Liu did not look back, but pointed to the map of the Han Dynasty and asked him enthusiastically: "Lu Qing, don't you think the map of the Han Dynasty is not perfect enough?"
