Chapter 604: A Few Vibrations (II)
Xihe is only a microcosm of Xining's five or six years, but it is not only Xihe.
Also exciting is the South.
To the west of Jiangling Prefecture and Tanzhou was the barbarian region, where the Song Dynasty had a weak control force. Especially in the Meishan area to the west of Tanzhou, where the famous Meishanman lives. Because the mountains are large and the forests are lush and they can't be controlled, the early Song Dynasty forced them to have no choice, so they drew a line to prohibit the surrounding Han people from having any dealings with them, including commercial trade, so there is a term called Ban Meishan.
It's so important that it can't be stopped.
Where is it forbidden to go? With this ban, Meishanman's life is more bitter, and the more bitter it is, the more fierce it is. The Song Dynasty forbade it, and they took the initiative to attack, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.
This time, the surrounding people were forced to suffer, and they could not even maintain a normal life.
So the imperial court had to send troops to suppress, the most famous is Pan Mei from Sun Pan Shu led a large army to exterminate, and as a result, 90 villages were exterminated, which seemed to be a large number, but in fact it was 90 small villages. The rest of the people withdrew to the mountains. Unable to suppress it, the officers and soldiers came and withdrew to the mountains. The officers and soldiers are gone, and they come out, again for evil.
This is the Meishan area.
Further ahead is the north and south of the river, and further northwest is the Kuixia barbarian.
Don't say that the Song Dynasty oppressed, in order to maintain peace, the Song Dynasty didn't send a large number of brain platinum Wahaha that year, but almost knelt down and begged them to do good deeds, don't go too far, let you be the emperor of the soil.
If you don't accept control, the Song Dynasty really doesn't matter. The Song Dynasty did not care about the control of commerce and taxation. Guan Jian They kidnapped and plundered the Han people as slaves, what to eat the heart and liver, ** power and so on.
This is the age of peace. Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law eats human flesh. were all killed by Zhao Kuangyi. And these barbarians.
Could it be that the hearts and livers of the Han people are particularly delicious?
Therefore, when it comes to the barbarians in these regions, no matter which Song Dynasty monarch will have a lot of bitter tears. After all, it is a relatively enlightened dynasty, and it is undoubtedly a shame for the king to have these situations in the territory.
However, considering the peculiarity of this area, everyone has to pretend not to see it.
However, in July of the fifth year of Xining, a more tempting express was sent from the south, and some local people reported that there was civil strife between Meishanman and Nanbeijiangman. Moreover, these chieftains did not treat the people as human beings, and many barbarians yearned for the benevolence of the Song Dynasty and asked for attachment.
This fast performance quickly arrived in front of Wang Anshi.
Of course, Wang Anshi doesn't expect to collect any money from this area, if Guan Jian can govern this area, as long as they don't endanger the Han people around hài and let the Han people live and work in peace and contentment, then the entire Xiangshui basin can be developed like Jiangdongwei.
At this time, he did not know that Changsha had become the four major rice markets of the Ming Dynasty, that is, one of the four most important grain bases in the country. However, I vaguely feel that if this area is stabilized, it will bring great benefits to Jinghu South Road.
But Wang Anshi was thinking about military expenses.
But it's okay. Wang Ju's matter had just been resolved, and Wang Ju himself went to Quanzhou. Otherwise, Wen Yanbo will be embarrassed, and Wang Anshi will also be embarrassed. The matter of Wang Ju's resignation was resolved, and Hehuang was officially put on the agenda.
Later, in view of Wang Ju's fate and Wang Ju's previous hints in the letter, after Wang Shao took the Wusheng Army, that is, Xizhou, he did not say the words that owed Bian, I did not use a penny of the imperial court, and all the grain and grass for this war were obtained by me from clearing the wasteland and doing business.
But in history, he has been operating in Qinzhou for several years, and he only supported the victory of Taohe. Subsequently, the use of troops in Hezhou, as well as the post-war reward and pension, was still money from the state treasury. But in general, with his words, it shows that Wang Shao's cost of using troops is really low.
Wang Anshi didn't know at this time, he used Wang Ju's cost of using soldiers, and put it on the cost of Wang Shao's soldiers, so how much would it cost to recover Xihe in the future? And then use troops to Nanbeijiang and Meishan, how much does it cost?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Anshi still decided not to let go of this opportunity. After all, this opportunity is rare, and if you miss it, the next time you use troops, I don't know how much money you will have to use. Unless you pretend not to see it as before, but these areas have become a super big sore in the south of the Song Dynasty, and if you don't uncover it, something big will happen sooner or later.
It was Wang Anshi who asked Zhang Dian to go to Jingnan.
Zhang Dian came to Jingnan and first sent two envoys to appease, but these two envoys went to the ground of the barbarians, not to appease, but to appease the local women, and the barbarians were also people, and in a fit of rage, they cut off the heads of the two envoys. This hacking was a big deal, and there was no way to surrender, so they gathered not to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but to enter the city to kill officials and rebel.
Zhang Dian was furious when he heard the news, regardless of whether the officials were fucked up or not, but killing the envoy didn't count, and he also went into the city to kill the officials and rebelled, and if he didn't clean it up, the whole area would be in chaos, and maybe there would be a second Li Jiqian Nong Zhigao.
Therefore, he quickly rolled south with a large army
When the news reached the capital, Zhao Ji was a little dumbfounded, I asked you to lead the troops to go, it was a shock, not a real fight, history has proved many times that it doesn't work, as long as the Song army withdraws, the local barbarians will immediately turn into Bengali to retaliate.
Wang Anshi had no choice but to say that Zhang Dian was still credible, but he must be stable and refrain from acting rashly.
But they all underestimated Zhangdun, and Zhangdun's offensive became more fierce.
Cai Ye, the deputy envoy of the transfer, was worried, and wrote to the imperial court, but he couldn't fight, so please transfer Zhang Dian away immediately, and the minister will take over, and the minister will deal with it slowly. Let's make peace and reunification.
If there had really been peaceful reunification, it would have been peaceful reunification for so many years.
However, Zhao Ji was really worried that the old man was useless as before, so he agreed with Cai Ye's opinion. However, Wang Anshi resolutely disagreed.
But Zhang Dian continued to use troops regardless of what the court was moving on. This time, the imperial court came to the real place, and the combat effectiveness was amazing, and it was forced by the Song army, and the largest Su clan in the local area came to surrender. This is a very good signal, Zhang Dian broke the previous record of the Song Dynasty to govern Meishan, not to withdraw the army back, but to officially open Meishan.
The so-called opening, first, to set up a county to build a city, and the government to formally manage it. The second is the household registration, the 14,800 households of the Meishan barbarians and 260,000 mu of mountain fields are all registered in the household register. Third, taxes must be levied, but in consideration of the new annex, in order to show preferential treatment, only one tax is levied on the two taxes a year, which is half of that of the people in the mainland. Fourth, garrisons.
After doing this, Zhang Dian thought that it was not enough, so he opened a local school. Teach the barbarian Han family poems, books, scriptures, and etiquette. Previously, the Song Dynasty blockaded the area. No business is allowed. Craftsmen and copper and iron were not allowed to flow into the area. Now that the blockade has been lifted, and Zhang Dian has taken the initiative to mediate the national contradictions for them, the barbarians have fought for a way to get their place.
Therefore, some brick families lamented, "Later, Meishanman found out that it was not good for them, that is, the official invasion of the cave, and they were suspicious, and over time." Most of the Meishan barbarians assimilated with the Han people who migrated over, and a small part moved out of Meishan because of various changes. ”
Stupid brick house!
Isn't sinicization bad?
Look at the small Japanese country, why are they united, are they really a single race? It is precisely because of the good integration of ethnic groups that in the end, countless foreign races, all island races, were integrated, and there was only one Yamato ethnic group in the whole country, except for a very small number of Ainu (also known as Ezo) people. That's why the country is so united. Isn't it good for the Wa Kingdom to do this?
The brick family may be elite and well-known, but it also illustrates the role of Zhangdun.
It was Zhang Dian who opened Meishan this time. It laid a solid foundation for the stability of the surrounding area of Changsha, and eventually became one of the four major rice markets.
Mei Shanman, this old and difficult problem of headache was completely solved at once.
This is a good thing, what else can Zhao Ji say.
Meishan solved, and Zhang Dian set his sights on the Nanbei River. Nanjiang Manxiang Yongyu and Shu Guangyin couldn't stand it, and took the lead in surrendering to Zhang Dian. But some people were not convinced, Tian Yuan jumped out and took the lead in resisting, and as a result, Zhang Dian sent a large army to exterminate one, two, three. However, the Beijiang side was more complicated, and Zhang Dian stopped first to digest Meishan and Nanjiang.
This is the good news brought by Jinghu Road.
Then transfer to the Bashu Luzhou area.
It is rumored that Zhao Kuangyin used a jade axe, not the axe of the weapon, but a kind of paperweight, to draw to the Dadu River on the map, saying, I don't want to go west from here.
Wang Ju was also very skeptical of this statement, because the actual situation at that time was that Wang Quanbin and his subordinates committed atrocities, causing a fierce resistance of the people of Bashu, and it only took more than 60 days to destroy the Shu State, but it took nearly a year to suppress this rebellion.
Moreover, there are also Southern Tang, Southern Han and Hedong, so it is not cost-effective to operate strategically from south to west.
But Zhao Kuangyin is really not very interested in the southwest, why, it is difficult to govern, and the production is limited, and it is not easy to transport out the production, even if it can be governed, the imperial court can not make a profit, and after governance, it is necessary to garrison the army, and to pay the salaries of officials, which is equivalent to exploiting the interests of the people of the Central Plains in disguise, and using it in these backward areas.
Maybe the idea is good, you don't want these areas, the barbarians in these areas will take the initiative to come to the door......
Therefore, the barbarians around Bashu, especially in the area south of the Jinsha River of the Yangtze River, kept invading, burning, killing and looting. The Song Dynasty was also forced to keep putting Jiangnan under its management......
There are two chiefs in Luzhou, one is called Yan Zi, who has the same name as the Yan Ying in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other is called Axe Wang. The two integrated all the six surnames outside the Yanzhou Mountains and the twenty-four surnames of Naxi.
This local official doesn't matter, anyway, in the south of the Yangtze River, south of the Yangtze River in Bashu, the Song Dynasty is not very interested.
But after these two people integrated these tribes, they suddenly became interested in the rich Han region of Jiangbei and prepared to invade the interior.
The news was sent to the capital, and the capital transferred Kumamoto to quell the rebellion.
After Kumamoto took office, he immediately found the direction of the attack, leaving the two chiefs behind first, but first catching the inner ghosts, these Yi people dared to take risks, and it was the Diao people from twelve nearby villages who were ready to act as guides for them.
Kumamoto found a reason, gathered these people, and then killed all one, two, and three.
In fact, whether it is Zhang Dian or Wang Ju, or Kumamoto, the methods of the three people are somewhat different, but they have one thing in common, that is, they dare to kill.
In the Song Dynasty, daring to use the butcher's knife against these rebellious barbarians was actually a great progress.
More than a hundred heads hung from wooden poles, more than anything else, and the rest scrambled to swear allegiance to Kumamoto. Of course, killing is auxiliary, and care is still the master. So the assassins inspected these official positions and rewarded them one by one, anyway, they were all high-ranking officials who didn't spend money on the court, so seal it.
But with this rank official, it's different, you can be regarded as a rank official of the Song Dynasty, that is, the people of the Song Dynasty.
However, some people who were not convinced came out, a big chief named Ke Yin was not convinced, and Kumamoto gathered the nineteen strong armed forces surnamed Yanzhou, as well as the strong crossbow army transferred from Guangnan West Road, led by the generals Wang Xuan and Jia Changyan, to crusade against Ke Yin.
The two armies fought at Huangge, but Ke Yin was defeated and fled to the mountains and forests. However, this time the Song army is different from before, you climb the mountain and he climbs the mountain, you drill into the deep forest and he also drills into the deep forest, and he grabs and catches, Ke Yin was caught and almost went crazy, so he had to come out and surrender obediently, and sacrificed all the people, land, treasures and horses under his name.
In fact, Kumamoto is completely killing chickens and monkeys by doing this.
Ke Yin almost went crazy, and the Kumamoto army slowly pressed towards the two chiefs, and seeing the Song army's all-out battle, the two barbarians were completely desperate. sent his son to Kumamoto to be a petty official, but he was actually a hostage. I surrendered.
After that, the Yiren people of Shujing, Changning, Wuman, and Luo's ghost lords all vied with each other to attach themselves, presided over by Fan Bailu, and vowed to be Han official slaves forever. The affidavit was carved into a stone tablet and erected in Wuning.
Why change the law, change the law is for the sake of the country's prosperity and strength.
After several years of reform, the deficit became less and less, and the inner treasury began to be full. Zhao Ji also deliberately divided the Gyeongbok Hall into thirty-two warehouses, and wrote a four-word poem: Five seasons lost pictures, and the fox is blazing. Yizu Zhaobang, thinking of punishment Ai. The inner government was set up to recruit soldiers. Great-grandson Shouzhi, dare to forget Que Zhi?
It means that in the fifth dynasty, the country lost its land, making the alien race very rampant, and Taizu founded the country in the difficult situation, revived his prestige, and severely punished the invaders. Therefore, the inner library was established to recruit strong men. Now that it's my great-grandson, how can I forget to mention my ancestors?
Then take each word as a library number.
The No. 32 warehouse was completed, and Zhao Ji was still unsatisfied, and added another sentence: Every pious night, vainly obey the legacy. Gu Yu is not martial, and he will become a Rongjie. Every night I slept reverently and fearfully, relieving the legacy of my ancestors. With my talent for martial arts, when will I be able to reach my goal?
Then place this little poem in the most prominent place in the warehouse.
There are also large tracts of fertile land brought about by the Farmland Water Conservancy Law.
The people don't care, at least the country's finances are gradually becoming richer, and the country is also strong.
From Western Xia to Tubo, and then to Forbidden Plum Mountain, Luzhou Man, three wars, three beautiful victories......
Therefore, the history books say that the Song Dynasty has been revitalized several times, and it seems that it is really going to be revitalized, but ...... A great drought befell if it were cursed. (To be continued......)
