As a result, due to the perennial soy sauce, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184 to the present, Sichuan and Shu have only sent out troops twice in the real sense, once to defeat Yuan Shu and once to defeat the Nanbarians. As a result, they mapped out the map and started a fight with Kuishang.
This also led to the fact that Yizhou's combat effectiveness was a bit neglected in terms of soldiers. It was only a few years ago that it fought a big battle. Moreover, before the war with Guishang, all the soldiers basically fought all the way from Chengdu.
I came here and went through a lot of wars.
Otherwise, this battle would be a bit difficult to say, but I have to admit that the group of Nanman warriors who surrendered helped a lot. Zhang Su was thinking about whether to give the opponent and everyone in the opponent's tribe a reward.
Anyway, for Zhang Su, this is completely out of generosity. But having said that, the land and climate here are indeed much better than those in the Southern Barbarians. It is relatively more suitable for farming. Although it is also a bit hot and humid, it is a plain after all.
"Huh, I've basically finished drawing the ancient map and the comparison map." At this time, Qin Mi, who had been silent before, said.
Everyone turned to look at the map in Qin Mi's hand, slightly curious.
"This map, this is our Yizhou, right?" Wang Lei said with some uncertainty. The map was a little distorted, "Zi Chi, when did you not even know how to draw a map?"
"It looks like it should be Yizhou, but there are some deviations from the map in my memory. Hmm, there seems to be a problem here." Huang Quan looked at Qin Mi with the same confusion.
"There is something wrong here. After Ailao State presented the map, here and here were not merged. Why is this here?" Meng Da pointed at the map and said.
Others also looked at Qin Mi's map and began to criticize it based on the impressions in their own minds. In short, Qin Mi's map seemed to have some minor problems, but fortunately it was not a big problem.
But to be honest, although Qin Mi is average in terms of intelligence and strategy, in terms of human geography, he is equivalent to a walking dictionary and should not make mistakes.
"Are you finished?" Qin Mi looked at everyone with an unhappy face and asked.
"It's over." Seeing that Qin Mi was not happy, the others nodded and said.
"Is there any big problem?" Qin Mi looked at everyone and asked.
"No, but there are constant mistakes." Everyone replied almost in unison.
"With your talent and knowledge, how many of those small detail errors can each of you find?" Qin Mi continued to ask.
"Six." Zhang Song frowned in confusion and said, and everyone else also answered this question, either three or five, or six or seven, it's not a lot.
"I made this map by comparing it with current maps and historical records when I was on the march. There are more than two hundred places in it that I can't explain clearly. But if you look up the classics, you can even find the ones I drew.
Approximate records on the map." Qin Mi said with a proud smile on his face.
"According to this map, as well as the mountains and seas, the sea and the south, our border can be pushed to where we are now, well, there is still a surplus." Qin Mi said with a smile. With the existence of this map and classics, they are justified.
according to,
Wang Lei, Cheng Ji and others were directly frightened by Qin Mi's words. Does this mean that if you really check the classics on this map, you won't be able to find any loopholes at all?
"Just as you guessed, it is indeed the case." Qin Mi said with a smile, "If you really check it, you won't be able to find it out at all, and the more you read the classics, the more you will feel that this map is real.
"
"So, is it because of the migration of ancient place names and the lack of records?" Zhang Su asked with a frown. He had already guessed what method Qin Mi used, but this
This method requires a large number of classics to support it.
Just like the so-called "Six Classics Annotations", ancient history may have many different records of the same thing due to different people's records, conceptual biases, different focuses, or even direct clerical errors.
Qin Mi's approach is to choose the record that is most beneficial to them. As for the so-called so-called solitary evidence, how can it be solitary evidence? History is like a wheel. There will always be people who will be blamed for political struggles, Spring and Autumn writing techniques, Qubi, etc.
Means to write down what you think is true.
As for whether future generations will be deceived by this record, or use this historical record to deceive others, it depends on the individual's ability. After all, the person who said "After I die, I will not care about the flood" has also been in history.
Not uncommon.
"No, no, no, it's not because of the ancient place names, migration, or the vagueness of historical records, but it's just the fact." Qin Mi said with a hearty smile.
"Just tell me what the situation is." Zhang Song said helplessly.
"It's like this. Based on the ancient books I consulted, as well as cross-references with local classics, and based on the principles of bold guessing and careful verification, I finally determined that the residence of the Queen Mother of the West written in the biography of Emperor Mu is here." Qin Mi
Said without restraint.
Meng Da, Fei Guan and others immediately twitched their mouths when they heard this. To be honest, Emperor Mu's book was written earlier than the Classic of Mountains and Seas. This was more than a thousand years ago, but after all, there is history to be found.
"Tell me about it, how it was verified." Zhang Song looked at Qin Mi speechlessly and said, this kind of trick can be used, okay, it doesn't matter.
"It is said that the emperor drove eight horses and traveled 35,000 miles west to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. He met the Queen Mother of the West and received ten carriages of beautiful jade as a gift. Calculating the distance and the place where jade is produced, don't you think it happens to be the place we passed by before?
"Qin Mi said with a smile.
"That's just an imaginary number, and we all know that there is jade in the Yongchang border (northern Myanmar), but the road is rough and difficult to transport back. If you like it, I will get you ten carts, and it will be yours if you transport it back." Zhang Su waved his hand.
, signaling Qin Mi to stop playing with such nonsense.
"No, no, no, no matter it's this or this, there is a song about the Queen Mother of the West in the Book of Mountains and Seas, 'Crossing the land of the West, love lives in the wild. Tigers and leopards are in groups, living with magpies. Good luck never changes,
I am the daughter of the emperor, and I am the son of the people of the world. I am playing the sheng and drums, and my heart is flying. The son of the people of the world, I am the only hope of heaven." Qin Mi laughed and repeated it.
Immediately, Zhang Su, Zhang Song and others' mouths twitched. If they really wanted to explain that the southwest was much more suitable than the northwest, this would really be a trick.
"Okay, stop making trouble. This is part of the Western Mountain Classic. You are just slapping others in the face. Don't go too far." Huang Quan turned his head and said. After all, he and Qin Mi had consulted the classics before.
After comparing the map for a while, you won’t understand anything.
"Tch, in short, you can rest assured that I have almost completed the history book. Even if it can't be justified by then, isn't there still this?" Qin Mi didn't feel the slightest embarrassment after being exposed by Huang Quan, but looked proud.
He waved his fist twice.
"Do you still need this kind of method to deal with these small countries?" Zhang Su curled his lips, "Zi Chi sometimes thinks too much and it is not good. Let me teach you how to rule this place. Although we have not managed this place for many years.
, but we are the owners here.”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Su turned around and waved to his personal guard captain, who then rode over.
"Take a group of people to Manipur and ask them to move to a place. We will requisition them." Zhang Su said to his guard captain.
The captain of the personal guard cupped his fists and saluted, and then rushed towards the east with his men. What Kushan could do, the Han Empire could also do.
"Actually, it's that simple. The purpose of your map is not to show it to those small countries. In fact, the biggest meaning is to fool the people in the country and make the people in the country think that we are righteous. However, we Han Dynasty need justice?" Zhang Su curled his lips.
said.
"If you want to be righteous, kill the envoys of another country in the capital of another country, chop off the head of the national advisor of another country in front of other country's ministers, and then throw it on the king's head, kidnap the king of a country, and summon
The ministers of that country, then kill the king, establish a new king, etc. These are not considered justice at all." Zhang Song turned his head and agreed.
When Wang Lei and others heard Zhang Song's words, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. These are things that the Han Empire had done before. What kind of diplomacy? I am so overbearing, come and bite me!
This kind of thing has been done before. In the eyes of other countries, the Han Empire cannot be said to be just from any point of view. But what's wrong with injustice? There is justice between countries, another hero, my devil, and country after country.
When do you rely on justice to speak?
"That's the fact. Justice is not as important to us as fists. Although sometimes we do need some justice, but when it comes to how we handle the internal affairs of our country, who dares to say that we are unjust." Cheng Ji shrugged and agreed.
.
"Is it an internal matter?" Li Hui asked, well, from a certain perspective, the vassal state is indeed an internal matter. Didn't you see that the Ailao Kingdom was soon annexed?
Qin Mi sighed and looked at his map, "I spent so much effort in vain. Unfortunately, it was all in vain in the end."
"No, no, no, you are trying to save face. It only makes sense if face is combined with fists." Yan Yan, who had been silent and listened to the arguments of several people with a smile, said, "Face is still very useful, although it cannot be used as food.
But it can be used to show others.”
"That's all it means. However, this place is sparsely populated. If you want to move here, it's safe to go through Yongchang County. However, the road is not close and the road is rugged. Even mountain residents may not be willing to come.
." Wu Yi turned his head and asked the civil servants.
"Well, that's true." Zhang Su couldn't help but sigh after thinking about it. There are many poor places in Yizhou, but if you want to move them here, it's just a short distance away. I'm afraid not many people will be willing.
"This is indeed a very big problem." Zhang Song also frowned.
It was obvious that although this group of civil servants had previously thought about moving people here if they won the war, they had not thought carefully about how to move. And governing the world was obviously much more important than conquering the world.
"How about building a road? Build a straight road from Chengdu to Yongchang, and then build a straight road from Yongchang to here. In this case, it will be a lot more convenient to send troops. After all, if you really want to talk about distance, you can walk on the straight road in a few days.
Well, we stayed up for more than a month." Wang Lei thought for a while and said, "What about this proposal?"
"No money." Zhang Song spread his hands, "It's not cheap to build such a long road."
"Ziqiao, this is not a problem." Zhang Su said with a sneer, "If we copy one country after another, the money will probably still make us rich. Even if the money is not enough, we can still recruit the civilians on the spot. If we don't have enough money, it does not mean that we are here.
These guys don’t have enough money.”
"In this case, Gongju, your calculations are good. Please take someone to calculate all the materials, manpower and other aspects. Then give me the data. I will spread the money to these countries. I have not paid tribute in so many years. This
Make up for it in one breath." Zhang Song said to Fei Shi with a cold light in his eyes. As for the small countries that are dissatisfied, just kill them directly.
"Okay, I will come up with a plan and calculated data as soon as possible, but will there be any problems if we act like this?" Fei Shi said hesitantly.
This group of people had been uniting together to deceive the Southern Barbarians in Yizhou, but after all, there was a reason for it. At least there was a reason for Liu Zhang to violently scold his mother and criticize him every day, and their purpose was the same.
The methods are also good.
But now, withholding tribute from small countries, and not from one or two small countries, is not something that can be said to be a thing of the past in this era of imperial power.
"We are just fighting against those rebels who do not respect the emperor's orders. As for the seizures, I remember that it has always been 30% of the soldiers, 30% of us, and 30% of the superiors. But when we came out this time, we made it very clear that all the seizures will be used for fighting.
So don't worry." Zhang Song made a scary smile on his ugly face.
Fei Shi looked at all the civil and military ministers in front of him, including Wang Lei, who had been extremely loyal before, and found that everyone was taking it for granted. He instantly understood that he must keep the same pace as this group of people.
Because the combined power of this group of people is enough to take charge of anything in Yizhou, and any Yizhou person who dares to confront this group will probably be dead.
"..." Fei Shi hesitated for a while, but finally sighed and put the matter aside, "That's it." After getting on the pirate ship, it was hard to get off.
After the battle outside Yizhou, the character of Zhang Song and others was obviously different. Even among them, Zhang Su, Wang Lei and others who were loyal to Liu Zhang had a very clear concept of the country and the princes.
Liu Zhang was just a prince, not a country.
Therefore, even Zhang Su and others would not have any objections to the current situation of making profits for the Han Empire without touching Liu Zhang's interests. The princes and the country may not be long before this group of people will
