The first thousand three hundred and sixty-sixth chapters of the third world
However, these matters are not urgent. The most urgent task now is to establish good rules.
Without rules, bad things happen easily!
And among all the rules, the most important ones are the military rules!
Who is commanded, who controls, who organizes and builds.
These are all top priorities.
If this rule is not established properly, disaster may occur a hundred years from now!
The vassal towns were separatist, and even the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were reenacted.
Therefore, Liu Che has been thinking about this matter these days.
First of all, in the world outside the Great Wall, to be honest, the further west you go, the weaker Chang'an's control becomes.
If they cross the Hexi Corridor and reach the Western Regions, Liu Che even doubts whether Chang'an's order is still effective.
After all, this is not about setting up the Western Region Protectorate.
But enfeoffment!
Massive enfeoffment!
The enfeoffed nobles and ministers will definitely organize armed forces and even armies for self-protection and development.
And the princes and kings will definitely join the regular army.
Let’s use the simplest analogy.
Today, the Liang State still has an army of nearly 50,000, and they are fully armed.
Although today's Liang army has completely lagged behind in terms of training and equipment.
But outside the Great Wall, it is also a powerful force.
In the Hexi, Hejian, and Munan areas, Chang'an can still restrict and control.
But if you go to the Western Regions...
Apart from other things, the order from Chang'an would take at least three to five months to reach.
It is simply impossible to effectively check, balance and control a super power like Liang Guo.
But if we don't find a way to control it, the power of the princes, kings and ministers will expand rapidly.
Rebellion is unlikely, but using Chang'an's orders as a piece of paper to wipe one's ass is possible in the future.
Therefore, how to design the system and organization of this armed force is particularly critical.
Fortunately, China's greatest advantage is that it has a long history.
Throughout their long history, the Chinese have experimented with almost all known human systems and organizations.
The ancient kings played "election" and "republic".
Later generations of emperors, generals and ministers even engaged in religious countries (the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom).
It can be said that there is nothing that the Chinese have not tried or seen.
Thinking of this, Liu Che looked at the ministers and said: "I am determined to set up a 'Zhechong Mansion' outside the Great Wall. The supreme commander of Zhechong Mansion will be Da Sima, and I will be in charge of it personally for the time being..."
Although there are some problems with this, it doesn't matter. The Chinese emperor himself is the master of everything.
"Every country must set up a Zhechong Prefecture, based on a hundred households, and set up a Zhechong team rate, Zhechong Sima, Zhechong Xiaowei, Zhechong Duwei, and Zhechong General. Each Zhechong Prefecture will be dispatched under the orders of the Grand Sima!"
This is to copy the imperial military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
But it is different from Fu Bing.
In the beginning, Fubing was a military system united by clan and blood ties. When it was first born, Fubing were professional soldiers and were completely out of work.
In the later period during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it gradually became a half-soldier and half-peasant existence.
Obviously, the current Han Dynasty does not need this kind of military machine that exists purely for war.
The armies of princes and princes do not need to be so luxurious.
In a big war, there will be field armies and they will not be needed.
The current value of the government soldiers in the Han Dynasty is as long as they protect the lives and property of the immigrants and provide various assistance to the field legions.
In other words, in Liu Che's plan, the status of government soldiers should be similar to that of county soldiers.
However, the ministers were a little confused.
Zhe Chong Mansion?
What is this for?
"Your Majesty, who will be the chief officer of Zhechong Mansion at all levels?" Prime Minister Zhou Yafu couldn't help but ask.
This issue is indeed critical.
The princes were very concerned about this matter.
After all, this armed force is the guarantee for their future stability and dominance.
You can't be a grandson within the Great Wall, but you have to continue to be a grandson outside the Great Wall, right?
"The Zhechong Mansion is like the story of the Reclamation Corps..." Liu Che explained with a smile: "The chief officials of Zhechong Mansion in various places are concurrently held by local feudal lords and princes, but their prime ministers will be ordered by Chang'an..."
It is certain that the princes and nobles will be given greater autonomy.
They can't. When they encounter problems, they have to ask Chang'an for instructions, right?
This is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, and completely useless!
For external expansion, Liu Che knew very well that this required Han aristocrats, ministers, scholar-bureaucrats, and even powerful landlords and merchants to give full play to their subjective initiative.
If you encounter anyone who is dissatisfied, just kill them.
Of course, necessary restrictions still exist.
Therefore, the chief minister of Zhechong Mansion had to be dispatched from Chang'an.
This can not only strengthen central power but also increase employment.
Of course, the main thing is to increase employment.
After all, it’s okay to be near the Great Wall, but if it’s thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Wall.
Then it is true that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and ordinary things are difficult to control.
As long as Chang'an didn't stir up trouble and cause trouble, even if Chang'an wanted to take care of it, he would be powerless.
The ministers also know this.
So, when they heard this, they all nodded.
Some people are even beginning to think about going to the Western Regions to show off their skills in the future!
"Regarding the structure and specific organization of the Zhechong Mansion, I have ordered the minister to prepare a draft..." Liu Che said with a smile: "If you are interested, after the dynasty is over, you can go to Lantai to get a draft and go back to read it carefully.
, if you have any questions, just raise them, I will discuss this case with the princes of the world at the court meeting next year, as a rule!"
This is normal. After all, this matter, such a major policy change, cannot be decided by the ministers and the emperor behind closed doors.
The tone must be set and convinced by the people of the world only through a conference such as the Grand Council, in which the world's scholar-bureaucrats, princes, nobles, local officials, and even princes and kings participate.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, who will be responsible?
"No!" After hearing this, the ministers bowed immediately.
"I and your ministers, let's talk about the enfeoffment of this deserted land..." Liu Che looked at the map with a smile on his face.
If, east of Congling, Liu Che's plan is to localize them in fifty to one hundred years in the future.
So, in Liu Che's eyes, the world west of Congling, at least for now, is a colony!
The colonies and the mainland are completely different.
If, east of Congling, Liu Che would still be affectionate, would be able to act both soft and hard, and would make various plans.
So, Liu Che's attitude to the west of Congling is that it belongs to whoever possesses it.
As long as I pay taxes to the court and give enough money, I don't care whether you are killing people, setting fires, or breaking bones and sucking marrow.
This is also Liu Che's most intuitive idea now.
This map represents his current understanding of the world.
Within the Great Wall is the core, the first world, the core of the world and the foundation of the country.
Beyond the Great Wall, to the east of Congling, is the Second World. It is the frontier that will defend China in the future. It is also an area that will be fully managed and assimilated in the next hundred years, and ultimately, the local area will be completely Chineseized.
And west of Congling is the third world.
The third world is the distant place defined by Liu Che. It is a place that the Han army cannot influence for the time being, and it is also an area that will be operated as a colony in the future.
You can refer to the attitudes of later European colonists towards their colonies.
Liu Che didn't care about them, whether they used the Chinese system, Chinese characters, or what they believed in.
As long as they kneel down, recognize the authority of the Emperor of China, pay tribute every year, and donate all their resources, wealth and manpower, that's it.
For this reason, Liu Che would not destroy mountains and temples, nor would he shake the local order and system.
Whether they believe in Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, or the Greek Aspirin gods.
It doesn't matter!
They are China's blood bags.
A place of exploitation and oppression.
Of course, it can also be divided.
Looking at the map, Liu Che said softly: "In the future, if there are princes and princes who are willing to pioneer here, they can get five times the food and land of the feudal state, and they can also be exempted from all tribute taxes!"
As soon as these words came out, countless people's hearts were filled with excitement.
This is what the princes and nobles really want.
Become an ancestor and start a new generation!
Just like those princes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, they truly controlled the destiny of a country and held great power.
The only difference is that there is an emperor above his head.
But, it doesn’t matter!
Now, the emperor's promise is equivalent to opening up the entire world west of Congling to them and giving all these places to them.
Let them use it.
There are even smart princes who have already made plans in their minds.
For example, Taohou meets Liu She.
Liu She's mind is now filled with all kinds of numbers.
He was already very good at mathematics, but in recent years, in order to keep up with the situation, his mathematics has naturally become better.
This notorious Liu family's flatterer has now activated all his brain cells and started calculating nervously.
When the Taohou Kingdom was first enfeoffed, there were only over a thousand households. In the past few decades, the number of emperors' seals and the favors he obtained through flattery added up to 2,000 households, making the number of households in his feudal state
It has reached 3,000 households.
But don't worry, this is just the beginning.
His son, Duke of Lu, whose name had been changed to Xiang, also had three thousand households.
Of course, the food of Duke Lu was not easy to move.
This is to give Xiang Yu blood food, and it is also the face of the emperor.
But it doesn't matter, the son will definitely have a son.
The legitimate son ascends the throne, and other concubines, according to the emperor's favor order, can receive part of the family property and even food.
Liu She is not stupid. He naturally knows that as long as he works a few times, he can naturally create at least five towns with more than 200 households.
These feudal lords are not as good as the princes, and they do not need to die before they can be divided into feudal lords.
They can now go out and make a living in the name of being a lord.
In this way, his family will have five more princes.
Moreover, he is a lord who can serve as a pioneer and backbone!
You have to know that the Duke of Lu, as the heir chosen by the emperor for Xiang Yu, is a descendant of another generation.
In the Wuchu area of Jiangdong, there are many stupid fans.
Especially those powerful landlords, literati, and knights who claim to be the relics of King Xiang and the confidants of Chu State, they are countless.
And his grandsons, as long as they raise the banner of Xiang Yu's descendants, quietly spread the word, and with the cooperation of the Duke of Lu, they can easily recruit thousands or even tens of thousands of Jiangdong heroes for their own use!
This is amazing!
What's more, Liu She had six sons in total.
The eldest son was given to Xiang Yu as a son, and there were five left.
His legitimate son Liu Zhe will inherit his family business in the future.
And the remaining four sons can definitely find a way to send them to the battlefield to be gilded in the future.
As long as you get military merit, you can contribute to the prosperity of your family.
If you are lucky and have a son who can become a marquis, the Taohou family will prosper!
In a whole period of ten thousand households, I want to conquer a land of thousands of miles, become king and dominate, and even in the future, go to the land of Daxia, found a country, build a country, and recreate the great Chu!
Thinking like this, Liu She felt like a cat had been scratched, and couldn't wait to go home to discuss it with his family.
Liu She was like this, and of course there were many smart people in other provinces.
Everyone started gearing up.
Now, everyone knows that as long as the Battle of Yanji is over and the Xiongnu Empire is defeated again, although it is unlikely that it will perish immediately, it is certain that it will fall into the situation of national subjugation.
Will the Xiongnu perish or not? When will they perish?
No one cares.
What everyone cares about is the land they gave up after the Huns were defeated.
The entire Munan, with three thousand miles of mountains, rivers and grasslands, plus the two thousand miles of canyons, mountains, rivers and oasis west of Hexi, will all become the talk of the Han Dynasty.
There are many suitable places to settle in these places.
At the very least, it is possible to cultivate millions of hectares of fertile farmland from Juyanze to the Qilian Mountains and create an 800-mile Qinchuan River.
But in these places, preparations and activities must be made earlier.
Otherwise, it will be robbed by others, and we will have to wait for the Han army to march into the Western Regions in the future to win the feudal state.
Of course, there are also people who are more clever. After quietly calculating their own strength in their hearts, they know that no matter what, they may not be able to get a good place to be a feudal state.
Instead of doing this, it's better to settle for the next best thing.
for example……
Find a land rich in water and grass and build your own animal husbandry kingdom!
In the past, no one would think like this.
But now, it's different.
The emperor's green storage cellars and settlement experiments in Zaoyang made settled livestock farming possible.
Just take a place with rich water and grass.
For example, if there is an excellent pasture like Nanchi where King Youxian of the Xiongnu was stationed, are you still worried that your family will not be able to take off?
There are even top princes with more than 5,000 households, who are also thinking about whether to take action on the ranch!
After all, raising horses and cattle is more profitable than plowing the land and digging for food in the soil!
A good horse can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars, and a BMW is even more priceless!
Moreover, the country and the nobles and lords will definitely need a large number of livestock.
It is even possible that in the future, the demand for horses and cattle will be unimaginable!
At this moment, suddenly, a servant hurried into the palace from outside and said: "Your Majesty, great victory! Great victory! The general Chariot and Cavalry has completely annihilated the Xiongnu Xuhuan Army and forced them to retreat. The Black Crow Army beheaded tens of thousands of people.
It’s useless to capture someone!”
After hearing this, the ministers could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts. Everyone took off their hats and bowed: "Long live my emperor!"
This time, they were sincerely convinced and had no objections to their king’s decision! (~^~)
