In fact, Li Shushi still has some other thoughts about Liangzhou...
In his opinion, Liangzhou is still a bit too big, especially since there is only an extremely narrow terrain like the Hexi Corridor on the road from the central and southern parts of Liangzhou to the northwest. It is this terrain that divides Liangzhou into
There are two large areas in the north and south, making it extremely inconvenient to transfer information between the north and south of Liangzhou.
Therefore, Li Shushi has always planned to split Liangzhou again. The general plan is to use the western part of Zhangye County as the dividing line, cancel the Zhangye Juyan vassal state and Zhangye vassal state, and establish a new county with Zhangye Juyan vassal state as the core, which may be another
In the history of the plane, Xihai County was later established during the Jian'an period, and then the new county, Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties, Yiwu City and the surrounding areas located in the eastern part of the Western Regions formed a new state, and the remaining part was Liang.
State new scope.
This new state can not only serve as a frontline barrier against attacks from the Western Regions, but can also become the fastest backup base for the Western Regions Protectorate, with a clearer hub attribute.
Of course, the above is just Li Shushi's personal idea. When northern Liangzhou is unable to support the size of a state in terms of population and production capacity, this idea can only stay in his mind. And in Li Shushi's opinion
, Ban Fu's integration of the Western Regions is far from complete. With the old general's respect for his ancestors, he probably hopes to complete that great cause independently.
Yongzhou, speaking of it, is still an ancient regional term. It was the name of the part of land in the northwest when Dayu divided the world into Kyushu. The scope probably included Shuozhou and Xinliangzhou. Unfortunately, as the stars change and things change,
The original ancient noun has now disappeared in the long river of history. Although it can be salvaged from the long river of time within a certain period of time, it will not take long before it returns to the long river. As time goes by, it slowly
Slowly rise and fall.
And now, Li Shushi has fished it out again, but this time the land represented by Yongzhou is no longer the far northwest, but includes Sanfu, the remaining Hanyang, Longxi and Wudu of the original Liangzhou.
The county, together with the Yinping County that had been regarded as a treasure by the Bingzhou Army, was the Guanghan vassal state that now belonged to Yizhou, a piece of land located due west of the Han Dynasty.
The reason why the Guanghan vassal state that originally belonged to Yizhou was placed in the newly established Yongzhou was thanks to Dong Zhuo's Yu Ze.
It is said that Dong Zhuo served as the northern captain of Shu County in Yizhou for several years.
The terrain of this Shu County can be said to be extremely interesting. The southeastern area is the western part of the Sichuan Basin. The famous Jinguan City is located on the bank of the Tuojiang River that flows through here. It can be said that the southern part of Shu County is a place with fertile land and rich flowers, regardless of whether
It doesn’t matter what kind of beautiful words you use to describe this place, and the world-famous Shu brocade is a hard currency that will never depreciate.
However, in the central and northern areas of Shu County, they rushed all the way up into the Western Sichuan Plateau. Among them, the northernmost Jiandi Road in Shu County is at the western foot of the Minshan Mountains. In other words, it goes upstream along the Minjiang River and passes through the Ming Dynasty.
Di Road, it won't take long to reach the Songpan Grassland, which is more than 500 miles long and 300 miles wide. The total area is about 15,200 square kilometers and the altitude is more than 3,500 meters.
What? You ask me why I want to introduce this Songpan Grassland in such detail?
Well, although it seems a bit off topic, some people may have realized it, because this river is run through by Heihe River (also known as Moqu River) and Baihe River (also known as Gequ River) from south to north.
Songpan Grassland is the grassland that was traversed during the famous "Crossing Snow Mountains and Grasslands" during the Long March, which is known as one of the miracles in human military history.
Although there are luxuriant water and grass here, because this grassland happens to be in a low-lying area, and the two confluences that run through the grassland are winding (hence the emphasis on the word "qu" in the name), this place is not so much grassland as it is grassland.
It is more accurate to say that it is a plateau wetland or a mud swamp.
Walking through here can be said to have caused the Red Army to suffer so much that the great Comrade Chairman said in his future poems that he would rather climb snow-capped mountains than dare to recall the painful life of living on the grass.
Okay, this is really going too far, bring it back, bring it back.
The terrain in the central and northern part of Shu County is generally the same, with nothing but high mountains.
Such terrain was naturally extremely difficult for the Han people who occupied the fertile land in the Sichuan Basin. Except for those who fled or were born hunters, not many people were willing to live in such a difficult place.
Therefore, the Qiang and Di people who were driven out of their original homes by the Han became the rulers of such places.
Even the Han people cannot ignore this influence. Didn't you see that many county-level units in the western part of the Han Dynasty have the word "Di" in them? For example, Shu County has Jian Di Road, Guanghan State has Dian Di Road, and Longxi has Di Road.
Everyone yearns for a better life, and no one is willing to lose that beautiful life. Therefore, the Han people have never relaxed their supervision and strangulation of the Di tribes adjacent to Jinguan City.
It is said that the Qiang and Di are inseparable. Even the best ethnologists cannot understand the intricate relationship between the two major tribal groups. But what is certain is that in the face of strangulation by the Han, the Di people will not forget it.
When it comes to calling friends, the Qiang tribe from the north is naturally indispensable—the distance between them is not that far anyway.
The commander-in-chief of the northern part of Shu County, where Dong Zhuo served, had to face such a group of enemies.
Historically, Dong Zhuo's troops were famous for having more Hu people than Han people. On the one hand, it was because Dong fought too fiercely and killed people too cruelly. The population of Longxi and even Liangzhou was relatively limited. After all, anyone with a little ability could learn from Zhang.
Huan tries to find a way to move his family to the mainland. Even ordinary people can use the transformation to
If you escape from the frontier as a refugee, as long as you don't get caught by the local officials, you will be fine if you join any powerful family and become a tenant. So it is estimated that it will not be easy to recruit enough soldiers from the Han people.
On the contrary, Hu soldiers are much easier to obtain.
The place where the Hu people live is inherently more desolate and difficult than that of the Han people, so they are more resilient in character. It is also easier to adapt to the arduous military career and cruel wars. In addition, although they fought with Dong Zhuo, they suffered great losses in the battle.
, but if he could survive, he would get a lot of rewards. Dong Zhuo often mentioned the court's treatment of him.
All rewards are given to his own men. Even if he cannot get a reward from the court, he will often pay out of his own pocket so that his soldiers can gain something after a hard battle. Comparing this harvest with the risks and gains that nomads need to bear, it is no wonder that
The entire Eastern Han Dynasty pursued a strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians, which has been tried and tested repeatedly.
This style of behavior coupled with Dong Zhuo's bravery and kindness made Dong Zhuo's reputation among the Qiang and Hus rise steadily. Even though Dong Zhuo's promotion path in the middle and early stages was almost stepping on the blood of the Qiang and Hus step by step, but
But it did not damage his huge reputation in the western frontier.
Not to mention that in addition to the recruited soldiers, another source of reinforcements from the foreign soldiers under Dong Zhuo were the captives who surrendered after defeat. Some of these prisoners came from wars between foreign tribes. Some were captured in battles with Dong Zhuo.
It can be said that the nomads have always been a huge and troublesome threat to the farming peoples, because the national characteristics determine that the nomads are on the offensive side most of the time. Their excellent mobility allows the farming peoples to defeat them with various advantages, but if they want to
It is extremely difficult to annihilate them all. Even if the enemy is finally surrounded and annihilated, how to deal with the surrendered prisoners is still a big problem. Especially the Qiang people located in the northwest of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They have developed their skills in this cat and mouse game.
Cunning character.
They were well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Han border troops, so if the situation went bad, they could easily surrender, hand over some of their loot, and then be stable for a while before rebelling again. Such repeated rebellions gave the Eastern Han government a huge headache.
You can choose to kill all the prisoners. But facing the complex Qiang and Di tribes, it is difficult to ensure that your entrapment and killing behavior this time will lead to the formation of new mortal enemies, small and strong mortal enemies that will not stop fighting and will be reborn with the spring breeze.
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Yezhu, gave birth to such a foolish Qiang tribe because of his rough treatment of the Qiang people. Their descendants have tormented the Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years. They are really a model of Xiaoqiang who has suffered repeated defeats and endless battles.
.
Unless you can kill tens of thousands of Qiang people at once like Duan Jiu and Duan Butcher, completely erasing the Dong Qiang from the map.
However, this kind of deterrence also collapsed under the chaotic officialdom in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. Faced with the oppression of foreign Han officials and the instigation of uneasy tribal leaders, the originally unruly Qiang people became even more fearless.
die.
Therefore, among those who handled the Qiang and Hu issues better, Dong Zhuo must definitely be considered one.
Specifically, when Dong Zhuo served as the northern captain, the battle with the Di people was naturally inevitable. Later, the Qiang people in the north were also involved. After omitting the battle plot of five chapters and 30,000 words, Dong Zhuo gained a brilliant victory.
victory then
Achieved the epic achievement of "powerful Shu" and harvested a large number of prisoners and volunteers. A large part of these people became the "Eight Species of Western Qiang", which was later known as the most powerful alien corps under Dong Zhuo's command.
"One of the members.
As for those Qiang and Di people who did not join Dong Zhuo's army, they always had a mixture of admiration and fear for Dong Zhuo.
This is not only the case in the northern area of Shu County, but also the Qiang and Di tribes in Guanghan and Wudu.
Originally, the best inheritors of this political legacy were Dong Zhuo's descendants or subordinates. Unfortunately, Wang Yun and Lu Zhi's plan was very decisive. Except for the Dong family's little lolita and Li Ru's couple who escaped early, Dong Zhuo's
It can be said that the family was wiped out in one fell swoop.
As for Dong Zhuo's subordinates, the just-concluded Battle of Guanzhong can be said to be their final farewell.
In this way, Li Shushi will have the opportunity to inherit this legacy.
Although a certain son-in-law of Dong Zhuo is currently hiding in an unknown corner enjoying his leisure time, his ambition is not dead yet, and Li Shushi will not let him just take money but not work, and he will step in to help Wu Ze.
and Li Gan, even if they can only remain anonymous, it should still be able to have a good effect, and it can also allow the two young people to suffer less losses when facing the Yizhou soldiers.
In addition, in addition to his military contributions, Li Ru actually had another mission, which was to go to Wudu County to help Li Gan reopen the copper official and mine copper materials. In order to suppress the hyperinflation in the Guanzhong area that had started since Dong Zhuo came to power, Li Shushi
Obviously there was a need to unify the currency value, which naturally required a large amount of copper material to mint new copper coins.
It is said that the copper content of the "small coins" left by Dong Zhuo is so sad that it makes people cry, and there is absolutely no value in recasting them.
Although Li Gan did not have the right to mint coins privately, with his excellent business acumen and so many years of experience in Shuozhou, Wudu could use its own advantages to become a strategic fulcrum for the Bingzhou Army to peek into Yizhou's east and west rivers.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Shu County is close to the core areas of Yizhou's rule, Chengdu, Luoxian, and Jinzhu, any small move can cause a strong backlash from Yizhou, and Li Shushi would like to push it all the way.
Although there is not much cultivated land in the 100,000-strong mountain, and it cannot support too many people, the mountains are full of treasures. The various gold, silver, copper and other monetary metals alone are enough to make Li Shushi wake up in the middle of the night with his mouth watering and laughter.
Over there, don't laugh, don't laugh. Do you know that there is a saying that "if you don't have a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are"? What a nonsense!
As for the governor of Yongzhou, Li Shushi originally planned to recommend Guo Yao, who has worked hard for many years and has a good son. Unfortunately, anyone with a discerning eye knows the status of Yongzhou, even if he ignores other areas of Yongzhou.
With all kinds of benefits, just a third assistant is enough to make many people grab their heads.
As soon as he thought that even old men like Huangfu Song and Sima Fang, who had retired to the second line, were still showing off and promoting themselves to him overtly and covertly, Li Shushi suddenly felt inexplicably excited.
You ignored me back then. Now I have made it impossible for you to reach your heights!
This is probably the mood.
However, judging from the fact that the governors of Yongzhou and Liangzhou are so popular, more and more people have begun to be optimistic about the future of the Bingzhou army. At least they believe that Bingzhou will occupy these places for a long time. Otherwise, the Eastern Han scholars
They can close the door of their home and lie down at home. This will not only enhance their reputation, but also have a good reputation of "not following thieves and bandits".
But just because of the worry that Li Shushi can occupy this place for a long time, once he stays away from officialdom for a long time, the family's influence will be reduced, and the family's property will be gradually embezzled by those families that support the Bingzhou Army. Even if they wait for a new master, the family will have already
From the original noble family to an ordinary poor family, the glory of the ancestors can only be talked about.
As a result, the hot and hot position of governor finally went to Zhu Jun, an old general who was famous for his military exploits most of the time. He could also be said to be the last batch of commendable outstanding generals in the late Han Dynasty.
The reason why Zhu Jun was appointed was that he was also very interested in this position. Even though the governor of the state under Li Shushi could only manage civil affairs and local security, it was just right for Zhu Jun, who had planned to gradually stay away from the battlefield, and Zhu Jun had also done so. The governor of Hanoi and the young governor of Henan Yinhe also had some experience. In addition, Zhu Jun also served as a servant and had some experience in managing animal husbandry, which could help Li Shushi re-implement the horse administration in Yongzhou and open a horse farm.
Although the main person in charge of this matter is Miss Luo He, the "agricultural expert" Li Shushi relies on most.
Secondly, it was because of Zhu Jun's personal reputation in the world. Although this old general from Kuaiji and Shangyu was not from a noble family, he had stepped up as a capable official step by step and would not be completely rejected by the circle of scholars. .And as a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, even if he could not compare with Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song in terms of ability, he still made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
Especially during the period when Dong Zhuo was in power, Huangfu Song hid in Bingzhou and enjoyed his leisure, while Lu Zhi endured the humiliation and fulfilled the last wish of the late emperor Liu Hong in Shuozhou. Only Zhu Jun repeatedly spoke out and remonstrated in court, leaving Dong Zhuo helpless. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Zhu Jun reorganized his troops on the ruins of Luoyang City and led his troops to fight guerrillas with the troops left behind by Dong Zhuo's army. Even though he had to move to the Zhongmu area because of the supernatural events that occurred in Luoyang City, this behavior still aroused the awe of the world. .
In fact, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, who was also from Yangzhou, once funded Zhu Jun's 3,000 troops and a lot of military supplies, and used this as a demonstration to other princes to also buy some soldiers, horses and food. After the coalition forces were disbanded, they pieced together A large army.
Although this army was quickly defeated by Dong Zhuo's army led by Li Jue, it seemed that Zhu Jun was possessed by Wellington's soul. It didn't seem right. Wellington should have been possessed by Zhu Jun's soul, which didn't seem right either. , then let Xiaoqiang possess Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun was able to start a prosperous business in Henan not long after he gathered the defeated troops.
There was even a time when Tao Qian proposed that Zhu Jun should be the leader of the alliance and lead the princes to rescue the emperor who was trapped in Chang'an. However, by that time the princes had lost their hearts and the matter was finally settled. However, no one said that Zhu Jun did not become the leader of the alliance. qualifications.
Even the former leader Yuan Shao and the extremely arrogant Yuan Shu acquiesced to this statement after some consideration.
Perhaps the two of them felt that the Allied Forces would not appear anyway, so they were happy to go along with the situation, but this also reflected from one aspect the extent of Zhu Jun's status and popularity among the scholars at this time.
In the history of another dimension, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he needed to reward his ministers. However, the name of the famous scholar Xu Jing was not included in the list of rewards. Because although this guy was very famous, he was a Shu commander in the Chengdu offensive and defensive battle. Xu Jing, the prefect, tried to secretly jump from the city wall to join Liu Bei's army during the war - this was nothing, but he failed and was caught by Liu Zhang. If Liu Zhang had not already thought of surrendering at that time, maybe Xu Jing It has been used by Liu Zhang to kill chickens and show them to monkeys.
Therefore, Liu Bei despised this guy who had no reputation but no willpower, no ability, and no ability. Naturally, he would not give him any official position, let alone the issue of rewards.
But at this time, Fa Zheng, the mastermind around Liu Bei, spoke up. He advised Liu Bei: There are people in the world who have false reputations but no real ones, and Xu Jing is one of them. However, now that my lord has created a great cause, no one in the world can talk about it.
, the false name of Jing spreads all over the world. If he is not polite, people in the world will regard him as the lord and a humble virtuous person. It is better to show more respect to dazzle people far and near, just like the king of Yan in the past treated Guo Wei.
Translated, this passage means: There is a kind of person in this world who has a false reputation but does not do real things. Xu Jing is the best example. But my lord, you have just started your business, and the world is so big that you cannot go from house to house sweeping the streets and visiting people.
Xu Jing's false reputation is really known to all the world. If you can't respect him, no one in the world will.
They would say that Xu Jing is incompetent, but they would only say that you, Liu Bei, are neglecting talented people. What is most important these days is talent, so my lord, you should show great respect for him. Even if you are acting, you should act so that people from far and near will be admired by you.
His acting skills were deceived, just like how King Yan Zhao treated Guo Wei when he proposed the idea of selling a daughter's body.
As a result, Xu Jing was immediately promoted to Taifu by Liu Bei. Although this was a false position, it was theoretically half a level higher than Sangong.
I don’t know if Liu Chan’s various behavior styles are the result of Xu Taifu.
In addition, Zhuge Liang also gave similar advice to Fazheng regarding the Xu Jing matter. However, considering Fazheng's status in Liu Bei's mind and Zhuge Liang's status at the time, it is obvious that Fazheng's words were the fundamental reason why Xu Jing was put on the spot.
.
By the way, since Xu Jing was enshrined in Xishu, it seems that the whole world has been fooled. For example, in Wang Lang's letter to Xu Jing, he said that after Cao Pi became emperor, every time he talked about Xu Jing at banquets, he called him
As a "leader", it also greatly changed the view of the Wei scholar class represented by Hua Xin on the Shu regime.
Zhu Jun's current reputation is no worse than Xu Jing's, and his ability is even better than Xu Jing's. He can subdue the big and small but well-established powerful families in the Sanfu area. He can also provide an experienced general for the Yongzhou war.
Experience and judgment.
