The officials have discussed the reward, and the ministers need not say much, they will definitely comply with it.
Nowadays, the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers beside Jinming Pond is completely different.
This afternoon spring rain is also particularly fun, and the pattering of rain makes people feel particularly comfortable.
Halfway through his words, Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao jointly signed a letter to propose a plan to pacify the West!"
"Ping Xice?"
What is this when everyone hears it?
If Wang Shao had Pingrong Ce in front, what was Pingxi Ce?
The official thought for a moment, and there was a look of perseverance in his eyes. If the official just now was still a little hesitant, but now under the victory of Zhang Yue and Wang Shao, his words began to have the feeling of a hero.
confidence.
I can also take care of the affairs of the Han, Wu and Tang dynasties.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Wang Shaomiao's Pingrong policy had achieved some success. Will Pingxi policy go further now?
"Come to me!"
After a few quick words, Wen Yanbo signaled Wu Chong to speak.
Zhang Yue, Wang Shao said in Pingxi Ce.
First serve Mu Zheng, and then take Dong Zhi. The Tibetan people are always afraid of subjugating the big tribes, and Mu Zheng is the big tribe in the Tibetan tribe. If Dong Xiang refuses to accept it, he can make Mu Zheng the master of Tubo, and take advantage of this great victory to seize the states.
, and finally forced the Tibetan tribe to surrender.
Guan Jia shouted the word "good" from the bottom of his heart and continued to listen.
Feng Jing objected: "Your Majesty, Han Jiang, the envoy of Xuanfu, spent 7 million yuan to pacify Xixia this time. Although he killed a lot of Xia people, he did not gain an inch of land, which greatly damaged the vitality of this dynasty. If Zhang Yue is ordered again,
Wang Shao continues to drive, but I don’t know how much money and food will be spent?"
Wang Anshi said: "When Wang Shao opened the border with the ancient Wei Dynasty, he used market transactions and salt banknotes to supply military supplies and appease the Tibetan tribes. The money and food consumed per year was no more than 5,000 guan. Even if he continued to open the border, it would cost 10,000 guan per year."
So what?"
The official said: "Don't say 10,000 guan, I will give him 100,000 guan too!"
Feng Jing added: "But this dynasty is managing Western Xia, and if the Liao Kingdom raises troops to invade again, what should we do?"
Wang Anshi said: "In the past, I was sent as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. Although the Liao Kingdom was large and vast, it was full of disadvantages and restrained each other. What's more, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Hongji, was a mediocre leader. He was only happy all day long.
As long as we maintain peace with the Liao Kingdom, the Lord of the Liao Kingdom will not dare to invade the south."
The official nodded and motioned for Wu Chong to continue.
Then Zhang Yue and Wang Shao went to Shu to promote Sinicization with Weiyuan as the center, set up lectures, and asked each tribe to accept pledges, teach Chinese language and customs, and then award officials based on their loyalty and obedience.
For the surrendered Tibetan tribes, the imperial court must conduct an inventory of the population, the number of households, the location and resettlement, and analyze the strong ones into several tribes.
At the same time, the scale of the Municipal Yi Department was expanded, and a branch office and a quality library were established in Guwei.
After the ministers heard this, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao had just won a great victory, so they offered a plan to pingxi. It can be seen that they were never satisfied with the achievements in front of them.
After Wu Chong described the strategy of pacifying the West, he said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to make the ancient Weizhai a prefecture, and set up an economic strategy and pacification department in Huizhou, Lanzhou, and Linzhou (Lintao), and then select good ministers and famous generals to manage Western Tibet.
A plan that will last for a hundred years will be a hard-earned achievement!"
Wu Chong's words immediately raised the establishment of the Economic and Strategy Department to a certain height.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see who this is for.
The new establishment of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Road means independent financial and personnel rights, giving the generals more room to display their talents.
The official was very happy and agreed wholeheartedly, but said verbally: "What Wu Qing said is reasonable. This matter will be discussed in the Political Affairs Hall and reported to me!"
"There are also rewards for meritorious soldiers. We will also discuss them together. Please report them to me as soon as possible!"
…
The next day in the political hall, Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi and others discussed the rewards and the construction of roads.
It is an official's instinct to speculate.
The officials in front of the emperor emphasized the rewards for meritorious soldiers three times in a row, which need not be mentioned again.
As for the next priorities, they are the implementation of Wang Shao and Zhang Yueping's western strategy, and the establishment of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department.
This is also a very big issue, and it is difficult to reach a consensus in a hurry. However, the officials are very anxious and asked them to discuss it today.
After some discussion, the ruling officials reached a preliminary consensus and went to Chongzheng Hall to report to the officials.
The official was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. Although he was a little tired now, he was still in high spirits.
The first is to build roads. When we discussed this matter today, Wen Yanbo did not agree, and Feng Jing did not agree. It is difficult to add another establishment for no reason. Building roads at the same time does not mean that we need to open up borders on a large scale?
Such conservative disapproval would also arouse the vigilance of Xixia and Liao.
However, after Wu Chong's proposal of setting up a Taohe pacification department was met with opposition, he again proposed the establishment of a Qinfeng Road edge pacification department, but the Linfu road army became independent.
Junmasi on Linfu Road is located south of Hetao and has jurisdiction over the three prefectures of Linzhou, Fuzhou and Fengzhou, which are known as the three prefectures outside Hewai.
Although Linfu Road Junma Division is nominally under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road, it is actually a separate road.
The same was true of Wu Chong's plan. The soldiers and horses would not pass through Qinzhou to meet each other, so that local officials would not be controlled by Qinfeng Road. Therefore, it was finally named the Qinfeng Road Yanbian Appeasement Division.
Qin Feng Road is in the name, but in fact it has nothing to do with Qin Feng Road. Of course, it is not completely irrelevant. Money and food still need to be allocated by Qin Feng Road.
When the official heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it accordingly."
Wu Chong said again: "Since we want to use the ancient Wei and Weiyuan to route the northwest, it is inappropriate to use the name of the village again."
Feng Jingdao: "Wang Shao has repeatedly asked to set up a Tongyuan Army, so I'll just ask you to set up a Tongyuan Army."
The officials nodded and upgraded the ancient Wei Village to the Tongyuan Army. At the same time, the fourth Ningyuan Village in Qinzhou was cut off and placed under the rule of the Tongyuan Army, which also strengthened the strength of the Qinfeng Road Yanbian Appeasement Division.
The controversy that followed was whether to use Tongwei Fort or Tongyuan Army as the center for the northwest strategy.
Shen Xiang and Wang Shao have been operating in the ancient Weizhai for a long time, and it is the basic management here, which is of course stable. However, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao advocated moving the headquarters of the Yanbian Appliance Division on Qinfeng Road to the Weiyuan Fort that has not yet been built.
This is very risky.
But it is also very strategically determined. From Weiyuan Fort and past Mobang Mountain is Didao. Didao is the road that Di people travel. There is Tao River in the territory, which can lead to Hezhou, so it is also called Lintao.
From here, you can go deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people and Qingtang City, the headquarters of Dong Fei.
However, Didao still has Mu Zheng entrenched here, which is very dangerous.
However, the benefits are easy to see. Setting the All-Road Administrative Office at the forefront and the most dangerous place is a disguised form of "the emperor guarding the country's gates".
Therefore, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao suggested that Weiyuan Fort should be directly upgraded to a prefecture, skipping the village, city, and army, so as to pass through the western river, Tao, Min, Hui, and Lan prefectures.
Upon hearing this, the official made the decision: "That's it, let's call it Xinzhou. As for the name of the state, you don't want to come up with Minzhou or Taozhou. I think it can just be named Xizhou!"
Xizhou is the Xi with the reign name Xining!
This move seems quite meaningful.
At that time, all the officials said so, and no one could dampen his interest. The governors immediately decided to rename Lintao Xizhou and temporarily govern Weiyuan.
A new fort named Qingping Fort was built next to Weiyuan. It was at the horns of Weiyuan and served as the base camp for future strategies to advance into Hehuang.
