King Raole was naturally the fourteenth prince Liu Xin. His jurisdiction included the northern part of Yanshan North Road and part of northeastern Anxi. Wugu (Hulunbuir) and Xingguo (Qiqihar) were its main towns. It was bordered by Mobei Khitan in the west and Mobei Khitan in the north.
Arriving at the Greater Hinggan Mountains, it is divided from the Andong Yuan Na River (Nen River) in the east.
Obviously, this was another nail for Emperor Liu to wedge himself into Mobei and control the northern grasslands. In a separate conversation with Liu Xin, Emperor Liu also made it very clear that the value of the existence of the Raole Kingdom lies in suppressing the Mobei Khitans and other people.
Department room Wei.
Since the elimination of the Han Dynasty forces headed by Erhan, the internal conflicts in the Mobei Khitan have been greatly alleviated and the cohesion has been greatly enhanced. Yelu Longxu received the imperial edict from Emperor Liu, and the relationship between the two countries gradually eased.
With the addition of border exchanges and trade exchanges, Mobei Khitan's life has become much easier in recent years.
In the west, it strongly blocked the rising Naiman Alliance from invading eastward, and even formed a counter-attack, with the momentum of driving the Naiman people back to Jinshan and regaining the Northwest Road area of Liaoyuan. In the east, it not only repulsed Xing'an
The invasion of Shiwei from various tribes in the Ling Dynasty, and through continuous wars, they conquered some Shiwei tribes and gained a lot of population and livestock.
Over the years, the Khitan has continuously strengthened the attributes of the grassland government and returned to the primitive state. At the same time, its status as the overlord of Mobei has also been re-established. While the Khitan people were having a better life, Emperor Liu may not be so happy in his heart. He habitually wanted to find something
thing.
Therefore, Rao Leguo showed up at the right time. When the results were announced, Liu Xin was quite surprised, while Liu Xu, the king of Anton, was not in a good mood. Emperor Liu cut the Yanshan North Road and enfeoffed it to Liu Xin. He had no objections.
, but at the same time cutting flesh from Anton's body, this is not something he can accept.
The territory that Emperor Liu drew from Anton was mainly in the Nahe Plain, which was one of the main grain-producing areas under Anton's rule. Although the Nahe River Basin was captured by the Han army during the Northern Expedition, it was subsequently consolidated.
Development and public security were all developed bit by bit after Liu Xu took office.
It took a full fifteen years to replace the local blood, and the influence of the Khitan and Shiwei people was basically eliminated. The Han people moved in, cultivated farmland, and researched and cultivated cold-resistant rice seeds. Only now have they achieved little results.
The area around the Nahe River also has the potential to become the granary of Andong.
When the harvest was about to come, Emperor Liu cut his flesh and gave it to the poor. From the perspective of brotherly relations, it seemed natural to show his role as the eldest brother and support his younger brother. After all, if it was just a Ugu region,
, for the new Rao Le Kingdom, it was too shabby. After all, it was close to Mobei Khitan and Shiwei in the Xing'an Mountains, and had always been unstable. It had not been a key governance area on Yanshan North Road before, with only a small number of garrison soldiers and sporadic officials.
Maintaining a rule that was so fragile that it was only in name.
However, in the face of real interests, brotherhood seems worthless. What's more, how can there be any close relationship between Liu Xu and Liu Xin? There is a generation gap between the two of them.
And when he thought about the results of his hard work for more than ten years, he had laid another important foundation for Anton and had to share it with others, one can imagine Liu Xu's dissatisfaction.
In recent years, most of the Han people who migrated to Andong were settled in the Songnen Plain, and the Nahe Plain was also a major receiving area, with more than 100,000 local Han people.
Xingguo was also built hard by Liu Xu. When it was in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, it was just a small settlement without even an earthen wall, let alone various supporting facilities.
Today, Xingguo City is already one of the top three cities under Anton's rule, with a permanent population of more than 3,000. Liu Xu's hard work has been poured into every brick and tile. In addition to its economic and population, it is still in the Blackwater area geographically.
If the upper reaches are placed under Raole Kingdom, doesn't it mean that even the interests of the Blackwater Basin must be shared with it?
If the old man feels that Wugu and the surrounding areas cannot be dealt with, why not be more generous, even if he gives Linhuang Mansion to Liu Xin, he has no objection, but he wants to talk to his Anton. After so many years of hard work, his hair has turned gray, and he is tired.
It was so difficult for Liu Xu to save such a small fortune just now after his body collapsed...
However, even if he was full of anger and unwillingness, Liu Xu would not dare to directly oppose him. Not everything could be bargained with Emperor Liu. As for Rao Leguo's feudalism, there is still a force in the court pushing it, and that is
The prince and his supporters.
No matter what Emperor Liu's original intention was to feudalize Rao Leguo, in their view, this was an opportunity to weaken Anton's strength and an opportunity to check and balance Anton. Some fears and prejudices are innate, or perhaps it is because "it is difficult to find a great talent"
The word "control" is too classic. Those around the prince have always been wary of Liu Xu and it has never subsided.
In the past, I was worried that Liu Xu would compete for the heir apparent. The identity of the emperor's eldest son was always marketable. Later, Liu Xu was unexpectedly "demoted" to Anton, which made people feel at ease a little. However, as Liu Xu's position in Anton
Business, reputation gradually improved, strength continued to increase, and he was increasingly praised and recognized by Emperor Liu. Some people were worried. After all, the eldest son of the emperor with a basic base, even if he was not in the capital, was still a big threat.
This time, the enfeoffment has been finalized, and I can feel relieved again, because this has basically completely cut off Liu Xu's thoughts and possibilities, but the suspicion and grudge for more than ten years are not so easy to let go, and suppression has become a habitual action.
, especially when complying with Emperor Liu's will, there will be more room for maneuver.
Therefore, in addition to the strong support of Emperor Liu, the patriarch of the family, the establishment of Rao Le Kingdom also had the secret promotion of Prince Liu Yang's group. When the two forces work together, there are not many things that cannot be done in this world.
Unlike Liu Xu, Liu Yang and Liu Xin have always had a good relationship. Liu Xin, who has lost favor with his mother, also takes good care of him. He can be described as an elder brother like a father, and Liu Xin has always respected Liu Yang.
In this way, facing the sea to the east, Rao Le to the west, and Liaodong to the south, even if Anton dared to plot evil in the future, it would be difficult to cause any big waves. This was the careful preparation of the prince's loyal ministers.
Emperor Liu's original intention of setting up feudal states like Anton and Raole was to consolidate the border areas, suppress the local fishing and hunting people, and at the same time reduce the burden on the central court through decentralization and contraction. However, from the beginning, the route he envisioned was
Already starting to shift...
And Liu Xu obviously felt unusual pressure. With his temperament, he naturally would not complain to Emperor Liu or anything, but chose to accept it silently. The only requirement was that Anton, who lived on the land of Raole Land,
The people under the rule hope to move away, but this was directly rejected by Emperor Liu, and everyone asked you to move away. So what is the use of Liu Xin holding the empty city and wasteland.
However, Emperor Liu was very kind to Liu Xu after all. He compensated Liu Xu with one million yuan and 50,000 people. The money was easy to say. In addition to the population overflow from the mainland and the coordination of Daozhou's immigration indicators, the people were directly punished.
He was transferred from the camp, and this had some appeasing effect.
However, for Liu Xu, the result of this enfeoffment was obviously not ideal. In terms of actual benefits, it was not as good as the system of the Anton Governor's Mansion. Of course, as a feudal king, the rights he enjoyed were also different.
, in the future, we can basically get rid of most of the restrictions from the court, even if it is only in name...
