Chapter 530 Xuanyuan releases military power under the stage
The north wind is howling and snowflakes are flying.
Beiyanzhou.
Bank of Sangqian River, forty miles southeast of Yongxing County.
"The snowflakes in Yanshan Mountain are as big as a mat, and they blow off the Xuanyuan Terrace!"
"Is this Xuanyuan Terrace?"
Who would have thought that the inconspicuous high platform on Qiaoshan Mountain is actually Xuanyuan Platform, which is only over one meter high and only about two meters long and wide.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Western Classic of the Great Wilderness. In the great wilderness, there is Lingshan Mountain, and in the west there is the Queen Mother's Mountain, Huoshan Mountain, Haishan Mountain, Qiongshan Mountain, there is the Xuanyuan Tower, and there is the Xuanyuan Tower. Shooters dare not shoot to the west for fear of Xuanyuan.
tower."
"The poor mountain is the bridge mountain in front of you."
Wu Huaiyu looked in front of him and felt a little emotional. No wonder the poet of the Southern Dynasty once said, after thousands of years of loneliness, who will be afraid of Xuanyuan Terrace.
Qiaoshan is named after the natural arched stone bridge formed by its peak.
The Yellow Emperor died and was buried in Qiao Mountain.
The former Huangdi Temple has disappeared, and this large square stone is said to be the chessboard where the Yellow Emperor and the immortal Guangchengzi played chess. It later became an altar for future generations to worship the Yellow Emperor, so it was called Xuanyuan Terrace.
On Yuzi Mountain in Pinggu, Tanzhou, there is also a large tomb, which is said to be the Mausoleum of Emperor Xuanyuan, also commonly known as Xuanyuan Terrace. It is adjacent to the ancient city of Pinggu in the Western Han Dynasty to the west. It still exists despite the vicissitudes of life. The main hall has the seats of the three emperors Xuanyuan, Fuxi and Shennong.
, every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people from all over the world gather to offer incense and pay homage to the Xuanyuan Temple Fair.
In comparison, the Qiaoshan Xuanyuan Terrace in Zhuolu is relatively unknown.
Li Tudiji, on the other hand, led his children and grandchildren to offer sacrifices to the three animals on the stone platform respectfully, and kowtowed seriously.
Li Tu Diji worshiped at the two Xuanyuan Terraces every year.
Although Xuanyuan is not the ancestor of their Mohe, he now regards himself as Huaxia, so of course he has to worship this ancestor.
Li Tu Diji didn't care where the Yellow Emperor's bones were buried.
"I used to go hunting in Beiyanzhou, but I didn't dare to shoot to the west. I was in awe of Xuanyuan's platform."
The old man looked serious, and in front of Huaiyu, he taught his children and grandchildren a good lesson, telling them who Huangdi Xuanyuan was and how to be in awe.
Emperor Yuan of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties said that after thousands of years of loneliness, who would be afraid of Xuanyuan Terrace?
But Tu Diji, the leader of Neifu Mohe, said that they did not dare to shoot to the west because there was Xuanyuan Terrace to the west.
Even the frontier residents who lived here before, Fan Hu, respected this stone platform with just one sentence and came to worship it every year.
"Duan joins the army."
"My subordinate is here."
"You can make arrangements to build a tomb here as a mausoleum, build a temple to offer sacrifices, and build a Xuanyuan Hall to offer sacrifices to me, the Emperor of China."
The required materials were provided by merchants, and the labor was directly used by the captive Sogdian Hu.
Xuanyuan is the emperor of humans, the god of heaven, and the ancestor of China.
In fact, there are various opinions about the location of Qiaoshan and Xuanyuan Terrace in various parts of the world, but the Qiaoshan and Emperor's Mausoleum officially certified by the Tang Dynasty are actually in Fangzhou, Guanzhong, listed in the national sacrificial ceremony, and worshiped at four seasons.
However, for Wu Huaiyu, it would not be a bad thing to verify the local legend of Xuanyuan Terrace in the newly established Yongxing County of Beiyan Prefecture.
Xuanyuan Terrace was built here. In this frontier frontier, where Hu and Han people lived together, it made sense to invite the ancestors out and even use Sogdian Hu captives to build it.
It doesn’t actually cost much anyway.
"When the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum is repaired, some big families will be moved here to guard the mausoleum."
This is modeled on the mausoleum system of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the world's powerful people were moved to the vicinity of the emperor's mausoleum to form a mausoleum city for the rich and powerful to live in. When there was nothing to do, they could prepare for the enemy.
This is a weak technique.
The Lingyi system not only strengthened the central system of Guanzhong, but also strengthened military defense. Most importantly, it weakened the local powerful forces in Guandong and even inhibited land annexation.
Wu Huaiyu built the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Beiyan Prefecture, and would definitely build the Xuanyuan Terrace in Pinggu, Tan Prefecture later. At that time, he would move some powerful people from the interior of You Prefecture to these two prefectures, using the name of guarding the mausoleum.
Suppressing the powerful forces in the interior of Youzhou can also enrich the frontiers.
Anyway, it's easy to achieve.
Since Li Shimin came to the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan, the imperial court has been actively merging prefectures and counties and merging governors. However, after Wu Huaiyu came to Youzhou, many new counties were established.
Just like Beiyan Prefecture, there was only one Huairong County before, but Wu Huaiyu established Chicheng County and Fengning County after taking over the villages behind Fushan.
After returning from patrolling outside the Great Wall, he established four new counties: Guangning, Huai'an, Wende, and Yongxing in the area where Sogdian Hu was based.
This was not over yet. After Wu Huaiyu destroyed the Sogdian Hu Sanqian family, the other border residents and households in Beiyan Prefecture who were not attached to the state also took the initiative to request to be registered as households and pay taxes and serve. Huaiyu then used these border residents and others
, Longmen County and Chongli County were newly established,
and Guichuan County.
Now, in the name of building Xuanyuan Terrace to guard the mausoleum, the original area should be moved to the Zhuoshui area of Yongxing and a new Fanshan County should be established.
As a result, Beiyan Prefecture originally only governed Huairong County, but now it includes Huairong, Guichuan, Fanshan, Yongxing, Chicheng, Fengning, Longmen, Chongli, Guangning, Huai'an, and Wende
Eleven counties.
The number of counties suddenly increased from one to eleven. Wu Huaiyu was certainly not acting randomly.
With so many counties established, it is natural that the area is so large. Secondly, we must prepare for the subsequent large-scale immigration and military garrison.
As the backbone of Youfu and a strategic transportation location, Beiyan Prefecture naturally needs to strengthen and accelerate its development. The Qingyi Army, the Guangbian Army, and the Guangning Army are directly stationed here.
The Tongjun Mansion has five new ones.
We also need to organize martial arts regiment training, Fanhu Chengbang, etc.
There were many soldiers and horses, and the need for food and grass was also large. It was impossible to rely solely on the salt method to transport food to the border areas. Wu Huaiyu still hoped to use the vast land and sparse population in the border areas to establish farming.
The first is the military camp.
Youzhou Dudufu will be divided into three farming areas, Youji Tuntian District. The land here is fertile, with crisscrossing rivers, convenient irrigation, and excellent agricultural conditions. Thousands of hectares of rice fields can be cultivated by diverting water from Lugou. It is preliminary estimated that Youji Tuntian District,
But the army can build hundreds of villages, and each village has 5,000 acres, which is 500,000 acres of land.
The second Tuntian District is Pingying Tuntian District, Pingzhou Yingzhou, which is to the west of Youzhou and even reaches Liaohe River in the east. It is more and more spacious and sparsely populated, but there are more fields, plus the newly acquired land from Xi people.
The waterfall river basin and the large area of land north of Lulongsai can be cultivated for many military camps.
This district can cultivate more fields than Youjitun District, but its agricultural conditions are inferior. It can cultivate more than 100 villages and 5,000 to 6,000 hectares of land.
The third farming area is naturally behind the mountain. Beiyanzhou and Tanzhou can all be called the land in the north of the mountain. It has an important strategic location and is shouldered by Youzhou.
There are many basins in Beiyanzhou, and rivers such as Yuyanshui and Sanggan River pass through it. There is currently no population. If farming is opened, it will not reduce the number of hundreds of villages. The conditions in Huailai Miyun in Tanzhou are not bad, and it can be cultivated for 30 years.
Tuen.
As long as there are enough people, if these three military garrison areas alone are developed, they can reach 300 garrison areas and more than one million acres of land, which is quite astonishing.
In addition to military settlements, civilian settlements can also be established, and immigrants can be stationed to divide the fields and grant land to enrich the frontiers.
Ten new counties were established in Yanzhou to the north. The total number of registered households is now less than 20,000. Including the more than 3,000 households in Huairong, the number is less than 20,000. This also includes many Fanhu households.
Naturalized,
In these counties, 10,000 households in each county are enough.
The needs of the population are great.
Compared with Youzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, the Hebei Plain in Jizhou has gradually recovered. Especially the old powerful families still occupy a large amount of land. Coupled with the land annexation by the new rich, ordinary people still only occupy a few miles.
There is even no land left to cultivate.
Wu Huaiyu still hopes to pry some tenants from these powerful families and move them to the frontier fortress to allocate farmland and enrich the frontier.
These newly formed government soldiers, who were trained in regiments, were given priority in allotment of fields, and even their families and children were given priority in allotment of fields, up to the limit of one hundred acres.
These frontier troops stationed at the frontier fortress were stationed and farmed at the same time. In addition to providing military supplies and reserves, part of the grain earned from the farm was also distributed to the soldiers stationed in the field, which was equivalent to a dividend reward and encouraged everyone's motivation.
It was windy and snowy.
Wu Huaiyu, Tu Diji, Fuyu and Lu Chengye were enjoying the snow and drinking wine under Xuanyuan Terrace.
"Guo Xing Gong, the sons of Sumo Mohe in Yanzhou are all very brave and tough. The governor wants to select more government soldiers and cavalry to strengthen the border defense, and select some of the governor's yamen soldiers. Guo Xing Gong
Are you willing?"
Li Tu Diji had been attached to the Central Plains for more than thirty years, and he was no longer a barbarian who didn't understand anything.
He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, and had been with Wu Huaiyu for a while. He immediately understood what Wu Huaiyu meant, but he stood up without hesitation, picked up the wine glass and drank first as a token of respect, "That's because the governor is looking down on these brats.
It is their great fortune to be able to be selected as government soldiers, or even become governor's yamen soldiers, and I would like to thank the governor on their behalf first."
Wu Huaiyu's main point is to select the Mohe children as government soldiers and martial cavalry, and let them go to Beijing to serve as guards, or guard the border, or become Wu Huaiyu's tooth soldiers. This means that these elite young Mohe children will be separated from Li Tu.
Diji, even left Yanzhou.
But he did not refuse, not even a trace of hesitation.
After more than thirty years of study, Tudiji understood that the only way to truly live a good life is to fully integrate and become a Han Chinese.
It is actually not a good thing that Hu Feng has always been preserved, and even the people have been living in settlements.
This old patriarch, who took the initiative to make his beloved youngest son worship Wu Huaiyu as his adoptive father, and sent his bravest eldest son and his family to Chang'an, saw things very clearly.
Even if all the thousands of Sumo Mohe people are dispersed, so what. Even if Yanzhou is canceled and merged into Youzhou, so what.
Yu Yanshui's three thousand Sogdian Hu Ke had just perished, and even he led his Mohe disciples to contribute a lot.
"Fuyu Governor?"
"Me too!" Fuyu chose to follow Tu Diji's footsteps without hesitation.
At first, they supported the Mohe Usugu Tribe of Yu, and followed the eight tribes of Su Mo to move westward to the Sui Dynasty. After decades, he felt that this was the right path to choose, and now there is nothing to hesitate about.
Breaking it into parts and placing them dispersedly is undoubtedly a good way to avoid losing too much.
Wu Huaiyu was very satisfied with the cheerfulness of the two Mohe leaders and stood up to toast them each with a glass of wine.
Li Tu Diji responded respectfully, and even bluntly said, "We moved westward to the inner region and settled in western Liaoning. Later, there was the Sui Dynasty and turmoil. The imperial court was so kind that it still allocated land to resettle the immigrants in prefectures and counties." He bluntly said that he was already old.
He said, "I have become accustomed to staying in Youzhou. Now that the disciples have the opportunity to select government soldiers and practice in regiments, I am very grateful. I can't go back to Liaoxi, and I don't want to go back. I think there is no need to keep Yan anymore."
The name of the state, Shenzhou, is requested by the governor to write to His Majesty to abolish the Qiao and establish Yanzhou and directly place it under the jurisdiction of Youzhou."
"The same goes for us Shenzhou." Fuyu followed.
Based on the consideration of some special circumstances, the imperial court set up governor's prefectures and prefectures in the territory of some surrendered Fanhu, and they were still ruled by their chiefs. This kind of belongs to Jisi prefecture, that is, it belongs to it in name, but in fact it basically does not.
It is managed directly and does not register households or pay taxes.
There is also a method called Neifuqiao to set up prefectures, such as Yanzhou. Originally, the Mohe people like Tudiji attached themselves to the Central Plains and settled in western Liaoning. Liaoxi County was established under Yan County. They had territory, but they only managed their own tribes.
, in fact, basically no taxes were paid, and only a small amount of land tribute was paid.
But later, Diji and others moved inland, and Yanzhou was established in Youzhou to manage the tribal population of the original Yan County and Liaoxi County.
This tradition continues since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. For example, if a certain state is captured by an enemy country, the state will be established in the rear to resettle and manage the soldiers and civilians of the original state.
During the Wude period in the early Tang Dynasty, Yanzhou fell into enemy hands, so the imperial court established the Yanzhou Yamen in Lingzhou City.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the establishment of prefectures and counties for overseas Chinese was originally a means to treat the refugees and appease the overseas Chinese. It was regarded as a temporary policy.
When Yanzhou of Tudiji was sent to govern Youzhou City, it had no real land. But later, in order to win over and appease them, the imperial court specially allocated a piece of land to the northwest of Youzhou City and established Yanzhou for them, which was equivalent to an upgrade.
It became Zhengzhou, but in reality it was only one county, and the people in charge were basically the Mohe tribe.
Tu Diji is now requesting that Yanzhou be abolished and not even used for overseas Chinese settlement. This is a very positive expression of loyalty.
Wu Huaiyu was very happy about this.
In fact, he also hates the establishment of prefectures and counties for overseas Chinese, or the establishment of autonomous prefectures and counties for Fanhu, creating a state within a state, which is harmful and useless.
Even if it is a temporary expediency, it will definitely be canceled if there is a chance.
Now is not the opportunity.
So Wu Huaiyu asked Lu Chengye to immediately write a petition for Tu Diji and Fuyu, requesting that Yanzhou be abolished and Shenzhou be merged into Youzhou.
After writing, Wu Huaiyu also signed his name, which was regarded as a joint letter.
Tudiji is now given the surname of Duke of the State of Yi, while Fuyu is only the Marquis of Fuyu.
This guy also knew that he did not have the prestige and strength of Tu Diji, and could not get the emperor to directly grant him a national surname, so he came up with Wu Huaiyu's idea. Taking advantage of Huaiyu's happiness, the old man also pulled out his favorite younger son and asked him to
He worshiped Huaiyu as his adoptive father.
Fuyu's youngest son, Hutouhunao, was his twenty-third son. Fuyu was very fertile and gave birth to twenty-three sons and a bunch of daughters. Several died of illness and died in battle at an early age, and now there are still eighteen
Son, this little twenty-three is about the same age as Li Jinxing.
"Artai meets his adoptive father."
"Hahaha, okay, I will accept you as my adopted son."
"Please ask the governor to give him a name."
"I'll give you the word "si Gong". I think of filial piety in the first place, and of respect in the position. I hope you can remember it."
Fu Yu patted his son's head, which had just been braided and had newly grown hair like a peach, "You will be called Wu Sigong from now on, why don't you thank Xianggong Wu quickly?"
"My son, Wu Si, would like to thank his adoptive father for the name." This boy responded quickly.
Wu Huaiyu originally only wanted to give him a name, but did not let him change his surname.
Before he could say anything, Fu Yu also thanked him and said that he would also take the surname Wu from now on.
"Wu Fuyu thanked the governor for bestowing his surname."
Wu Huaiyu looked at the two hairy heads of the old and the young, and couldn't help but smile. That's all, since the two men insisted on clinging to each other, it didn't matter.
The old man immediately added that from now on, all members of the Wusugu tribe in Fuyu will change their surname to Wu.
Good guy, there are thousands more Mohewu families all of a sudden.
