In Tokyo in spring, thousands of flowers are blooming, peonies and peonies are in full bloom, and the fragrance of spring flowers faintly permeates the whole city. In the past two months, the focus of the work of the Han emperor and the imperial court was still on the security of the three roads in Sichuan and Sichuan.
A large number of administrative and supervisory officials were transferred from the central and local governments to Shu to spread the political system. The emigration of Shu people continued. By March, 21,580 Shu scholars and poor households had moved into Hunan. They participated
The rebellious Shu local magnates and captives also moved to the northwest region along with the troops transferred from the north. In order to implement the decree of immigrating to the border areas, they mainly penetrated into the Longxi region.
According to the plan of the Zhengshitang, 200,000 Shu people will be moved northward, mainly captives of rebels who caused the rebellion, supplemented by some poor farmers, and former Shu soldiers. When the plan is completed, nothing else, the Han court will
The hidden dangers of Sichuan and Shu's rule will be greatly reduced.
The people who migrated to the north were all subject to semi-military organizational management, with equal land reclamation and fortification and reunion. There were no villages, and groups of hundreds of households were subordinated to military envoys everywhere. They were managed by three senior officials, and were basically managed by Pingshu.
Serve as a meritorious junior officer.
If you think about it carefully, this seems to be a "reversal" of history. Such an arrangement is equivalent to giving the military envoys a certain administrative power in disguise. However, the situation in the border areas is complicated, and if you want to strengthen control over those weak areas, you have to
Adapt to local conditions and circumstances.
After being the emperor for so many years, Liu Chengyou has a deeper understanding of many ruling systems. As for the much-criticized vassal and town festival system in the Tang Dynasty, when it was established, the original intention was definitely good, to facilitate the management of border areas.
The control of border troubles and the clear communication of military and political orders only lacked checks and balances and supervision, and gradually lost control, leading to endless disasters.
Liu Chengyou's ambitions and desires for his homeland in the northwest can be described as obvious. If he wanted to expand westward, regain his homeland, and consolidate the border areas, he had to loosen his grip on the military and political affairs of the western border prefectures and counties.
If the border states are treated like hinterland states and counties, problems will also arise. The Song Dynasty in another time and space is always alert to Liu Chengyou. In order to reduce or suppress the hidden dangers, all he can do is spend more on supervision and finance and taxation.
Thoughtful.
In fact, as long as the imperial court has sufficient authority and strong strength, nothing will be a problem. However, as long as the emperor is fatuous, the government is in chaos, and there will be no disasters from feudal towns or border troops, there will also be other chaos.
Therefore, Liu Chengyou is not afraid of "reversing the wheel".
Time is the best tranquilizer. After half a year of twists and turns, the imperial court's rule over the Shu region can be said to be basically stable. In February, a group of Shu officials represented by Quan Shixiong, Wang Zhongfu, and Ju Zhongzheng
When the old officials came to the capital, Liu Chengyou personally met them. These were all people with a certain reputation and political talents. They were praised by Liu Chengyou and were quickly sent back to Sichuan and Shu. They were appointed as Daozhou officials. To govern Shu, we still need the help of talents from Shu.
.
Including Li Tinggui, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army who was captured in Xi County when the Han army advanced into Hanzhong, was also remembered by Liu Chengyou. When this king was defeated, he held his sword in a dangling position and was unable to make up his mind to kill himself.
A laughing stock. But since ancient times, death has been the only option, so that’s not incomprehensible.
As the commander-in-chief who led the Shu army in the Northern War against the Han Dynasty for a long time, he was not humiliated after being taken to Tokyo. Liu Chengyou knew this person well, but he was not mediocre in fact, and his official reputation was not bad. Compared with the luxurious people in Chengdu, The noble bureaucracy can be regarded as a breath of fresh air.
Like the surrendered general Han Jixun, he lost consecutive battles in Shu and made many military exploits in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, one cannot judge a person's talents one-sidedly. The same is true for Li Tinggui. Overall, his performance in resisting the Han army in the north, except for some of Wang Zhaoyuan's Apart from the remote control command, there were not too many omissions in the decisions he made against the enemy. However, many times, correctness was only relatively correct. The general trend was that no matter how hard he struggled, he failed in the end.
When he was received by Liu Chengyou, Li Tinggui's attitude was quite respectful, but when Liu Chengyou asked him if he was willing to serve the Han Dynasty, he remained silent. Later he replied that the Meng family was kind to him because he led the army to lose troops and lost territory. If you can't die, you are already ashamed and have no place. How dare you accept the salary of a big man again?
Liu Chengyou laughed at his answer, but did not embarrass him. He rewarded him with some money and silk, and allowed him to live in Tokyo without leaving Kaifeng. Last year, the Han army destroyed Shu, Meng Chang surrendered, and his entire family returned. Liu Chengyou He also met with Li Tinggui. Without saying much, the man took the initiative and expressed his willingness to serve the Han Dynasty. Liu Chengyou immediately used him to know Yuzhou Prefecture.
The other person was Wang Zhaoyuan. For this "famous" Shu Zhuge, Liu Chengyou was very interested in meeting him after he was escorted to Tokyo, and re-enacted with him the Han army's battle to defeat Shu.
This Wang Zhaoyuan was also a wonderful man, but he was a little unconvinced. He always felt that he was not guilty of war, but he was able to let it go in front of Liu Chengyou, and talked endlessly about his military strategies.
Upon contact, I discovered that Wang Zhaoyuan was an extraordinary person. He spoke clearly and logically about national strategy, military tactics, and the use of troops, and his theoretical knowledge was very profound and solid. However, the problem was that he took things too much for granted and did not pay attention to details. The situation is just based on subjective imagination and speaking out. Generally speaking, there is a serious disconnect between theory and practice, and it is too rhetorical.
Combining Wang Zhaoyuan's command performance in Lizhou and listening to his description from his perspective, we can find that many of his judgments and decisions have his reasons and are quite convincing. However, the changes in the battlefield situation are not based on his His will is diverted, so that whatever he does is wrong.
Fighter planes change rapidly. For a general, his judgment of the battlefield situation and his ability to capture fighter planes are much more important than the military tactics recorded in books. Famous generals are all trained through experience. Wang Zhaoyuan has neither the prestige of running an army nor the ability to fight. Experience and self-confidence in everything are no match for the experienced Han generals.
However, to be fair, Wang Zhaoyuan can be regarded as a talented person. In the current era, it is very rare for many people in the world to be able to talk about military and national strategies and justify them. Even if they are divorced from reality, it is very rare.
Liu Chengyou was in high spirits, and had the urge to turn waste into treasure, so he simply stayed in Chongzheng Palace as counselor of military affairs. Listening to his eloquent talk, talking about military affairs on paper, and running the country with his mouth, he could also, and occasionally come up with some ideas. spark......
In just these few months, Wang Zhaoyuan has submitted three articles to Liu Chengyou: "Pingnan Policy", "Pingliao Policy", and "Northwestern Strategy Articles", all of which are based on the world and have an overview of the overall situation. There are many merits in them.
Taking his "Ping Liao Policy" as an example, Wang Zhaoyuan suggested developing cavalry, strengthening the mobility of the Han army, preparing more bows and crossbows, diligently practicing square formations, improving the Han army's ability to fight cavalry, and sending envoys to liaise and divide the tribes outside the wall. , combined with a series of ideas such as Korea.
However, when Liu Chengyou only asked about specific implementation issues such as how to divide the divisions and which tribes should be contacted, Wang Zhaoyuan was speechless. As for the Khitan military and political system, troop deployment, tribal distribution, strength, and contradictory relationships, Wang Zhaoyuan also Don't know anything.
Of course, a basin of cold water did not dampen Wang Zhaoyuan's enthusiasm. He began to collect information, research, and understand the specific situation of the Liao Kingdom, and requested an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. In this regard, Liu Chengyou expressed encouragement and opened the door to convenience. , will the Han Dynasty have one more expert on Liao affairs in the future?
...
In the middle of spring, the Han army, which had been fighting, guarding, and quelling the chaos in Shu for nearly eight months, finally returned in triumph and returned to the court. Under the leadership of its commander Xiang Xun, it returned to Tokyo. The troops that entered Beijing, except for the Forbidden Army, They were all meritorious soldiers from Pingshu, and there were more than 20,000 people in total, including the Southwest Army from Guanzhong. Most of them had never entered the capital.
Liu Chengyou issued an edict and held an entry ceremony for the returning victorious troops. Prime Minister Fan Zhi led the crowd to welcome him to show his attention. The people of Tokyo rushed to see him, and there was a crowd of spectators.
With the return of the Pingshu generals and their troops, an issue was also put on the agenda, and that was the reward and punishment of the Pingshu generals.
