"Zi'an, you're doing a good job as the governor of Guizhou," Zhang Dian joked.

He came to the south as the Jiaozhi Road Pacification Envoy Zhijiaozhou, but Jiaozhi is not a state in Jiaozhou, it is too big.

Wang Ju is still basically divided according to the arrangement of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty: Jiaozhi County of Jiaozhou, Yushan County of Luzhou, Chenghua County of Fengzhou, Jiuzhen County of Aizhou, Rinan County of Fuzhou, Wenyang County of Changzhou, Tanglin County of Fulu Prefecture, Tangquan County of Tangzhou, Xincheng County of Zhizhou, Wu'e County of Wu'e Prefecture, Longchi County of Yanzhou, Wuqu County of Wu'an Prefecture, a total of nearly 60 counties in 12 states.

But some Wang Ju banned it, the officials of the Song Dynasty were not the officials of the Tang Dynasty, they were very expensive (referring to high salaries, they couldn't afford to support), and after their own urging, even if more than 100,000 families moved over, the population became very scarce.

Therefore, Wang Ju merged Wu'an Prefecture and Luzhou into Luzhou, Fulu Prefecture and Yanzhou were all two, merged into Aizhou and Luzhou, Changzhou merged into Jiaozhou Prefecture, and then allocated Guangyuan Prefecture from Yongzhou Guangyuan Prefecture to Tangzhou, and Menzhou Sumao Prefecture was assigned to Luzhou. The three states obtained from the city of Zhancheng set up a state and three counties, named Nanzhou, which means that the Song Dynasty was the southernmost place here, and Wang Ju also deliberately explained the meaning of the name of this state to Hama.

As a result, Jiaozhi Road became one prefecture and 32 counties in eight prefectures, as well as more than a dozen prefectures in the northwest corner, and changed back to the old names of the Tang Dynasty, and banned the new names taken by Jiaozhi.

The imperial court also agreed to this division.

In other words, no matter how much money is saved, the imperial court will have to appoint at least more than 200 officials to manage this land.

However, everything was created and there were many affairs, and the officials were appointed by the imperial court. It can be specific to the future planning of Jiaozhi Road. resettlement of immigrants and other military and political affairs. It's all up to Zhangdun to take the lead. Therefore, after the imperial court discussed, they let Zhang Dian come to Guangnan first.

Zhang Dian refers to Wang Ju, who is the governor of Guizhou, but stayed in Yongzhou to handle official business.

"What if you don't stay in Yongzhou? Guizhou is too far from Jiaozhi. Wang Ju said, even if Zhang Dian came, Wang Ju would still stay in Yongzhou, unless he didn't want to deal with Dali.

The two talked for a while.

Wang Ju began to get down to business: "Brother Zihou, immigration is still coming, but many Jiaozhi people have returned to their homes one after another. There may be many disputes later. ”

"What does Zi'an think?"

"There are two ways to deal with it, one is to assemble them, but I think it is inappropriate, once they are assembled, if someone instigates them, it will be difficult for Jiaozhi to settle down. Therefore, there is only a second way, continue to evacuate, keep the proportion of the people in each village in the future less than a quarter, and then warn the subordinate officials that they must be treated equally, but if the people of Jiaozhi are unruly. It must also be severely punished. Enwei is used together, and grace is the mainstay. Supplemented by prestige, it merged after a few years, and the territory was self-sufficient. ”

Easier said than done.

Therefore, Wang Ju tried his best to recommend Zhang Dian to come over, and the other officials were not strong enough to come, or they didn't know how to fight, and they still had a mess after the handover.

Of course, there is another way, that is, to kill as much as possible before...... But then Wang Ju really can't do it, to expel the main, although many people died, but there are still many people escaped, and then some people swept with the displaced people, and the result was sent to the Song Dynasty Central Plains to come back, but there are still many people who fled to the mourning prison, the cow roar and other places, these people did not come back together, so it was chaotic, but it was back partially, think about how many households there were in Jiaozhi.

Wang Ju estimated that at least 300,000 or 400,000 people had fled back one after another, and although they were trembling and fled when they saw the officers and soldiers coming, they came back and fled to hide nearby. Do you want to catch and kill them one by one? The bigwigs in the court are still noisy?

This is the first problem of Zhangdun, let them come out, don't hide anymore, but also let them be good citizens, and don't gather to revolt and rebel in the future.

Zhangdun pondered.

"In fact, there is another strategy, you can write a piece of music and send it to the capital with a special foot, feedback this situation, and let the imperial court mobilize as many officials below as possible to move the people over, so that it can be further diluted."

"Zi'an, do you really want to move all the fifth-class households of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"I really want to, but is that possible?" Wang Ju shook his head and said, Wang Ju has counted it, and now the Song Dynasty is close to 16 million households, and Wang Ju must know about this statistics, because Wang Ju also sent officials to count the number of households in Liangguang, but I don't know how many households there are in the entire Song Dynasty, but I can guess roughly. Because of the dense population, it can be said that the entire Song Dynasty can be close to forty percent of the households below the fifth grade, and by Wang Juqian, he can move away six million households?

It can only be said that through his efforts, compared with another time and space at the same time, the land pressure in some areas may be alleviated, and the people in extreme poverty will be less.

But this time, because of the need for benevolence, more than a million people were scattered to the southeastern states, benevolence...... If after Wang Ju's change, the Jin people are not allowed to go south, and at the current rate of population growth, it will be 30 million households in a hundred years. Maybe the Song Dynasty will have a serious crisis.

In actual history, the Fangla uprising at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty was not only the burden of the people caused by the birth of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, but also the land was very tight at that time, 22 million households, can the land not be tight? What's worse is that at that time, there was still the Ya Xiaoice River (a little smaller than the scale at the end of the Ming Dynasty), and even Lingnan had heavy snowfall......

That's the real inner reason.

However, in his previous life, Wang Ju did not study this history, so it is difficult to draw conclusions.

That is, the possible rise of the Jin people, the Xiaoice River, and the super large population, if Wang Ju cannot successfully find miscellaneous grains from the real other side of the ocean, and promote it on a large scale, with the population growth rate of the Song Dynasty, even if it opens up Jiaozhi and develops Guangnan, there is a danger of extinction within a hundred years. It was not the external destruction of the country, but the fact that many people at home could not eat enough, forcing them to revolt.

Therefore, Wang Ju desperately moved the people, but the court had many ideas...... Wang Ju didn't want to say anything.

Wang Ju said the second thing, he took out the map of Jiaozhi Road and said: "Brother Zihou, please see, it turns out that Jiaozhi Road has become slender from Jiaozhou to the south, but Jiaozhi has successively grabbed some territory from the Cow Roar and the Ailao people to the west, so it is a little better in this section of Jiaozhou." However, it came to this section of Eyre. It's starting to be slender again. ”

Chapters looked at the map. Aizhou is the Qinghua State of Jiaozhi Qinghua Road, so that Wang Ju changed back to Aizhou. How narrow is it here, less than two hundred miles, that is, an ordinary Ding Zhuang, if you advance lightly, you can walk from east to west in two days.

In the western part of it, the Ailao people live in the mountainous areas with the Changshan Mountains as the boundary. I understand this. The barbarians in the mountains, if the Song Dynasty stabilized the Jiaozhi Road in the future, then these barbarians would have to go down the mountain to plunder again. But it's so narrow that it can't be well defended.

"Brother Zihou, so I let General He Bin stay, and there are 10,000 officers and soldiers, let him cooperate with you in the future, if possible, starting from Aizhou and going south. Try to convert the barbarians of this mountain range to the same way you did in Meishanman. Then take the Chang Son mountain range as the boundary. One is to prevent barbarians from going down the mountain to plunder, and the other is to prevent the invasion of Zhenla in the future. ”

"Zhenla, this country is not small."

"Brother Zihou, don't worry, although Zhenla is big, it is mostly backward areas inside," Wang Ju talked about the situation of Zhenla.

"No wonder you recommended me for Cochin."

"Brother Zihou, if you do it well, it will be enough to make you famous in the annals of history and illuminate the ages." Wang Ju comforted. But except for Zhangdun, it is really difficult to find suitable candidates. And it must be done, otherwise the people from the inland will settle down one after another, they are all bitter people, once they adapt to the climate here, with this fertile land with plenty of water, Wang Ju estimates that some people can work hard, and even let the crops grow three times a year. Then this area can quickly become better, but the people are docile inland people. Think about the consequences.

Don't really think that mourners are good people......

Therefore, only by continuing to open up to the west and using Changshan as the city wall can we protect the safety of the rear.

Zhang Dian smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, where is the 10,000 soldiers enough? ”

"It's not enough, but more soldiers can be drawn up next year...... Moreover, I have prepared a large amount of supplies in Jiaozhou City (Thang Long City) for you to dispatch, and I will also send some stewards to assist you, who have resettled many immigrants overseas in the past and are quite experienced. ”

"What does next year mean?"

Wang Ju said, "Please wait. ”

He went to the study and took out a stack of files and said, "Brother Zihou, please take a look." ”

After Zhang Dian left the Third Division, he has been below for the past few years, and he doesn't know what Wang Ju has done in the south, although there are occasional correspondence exchanges, Wang Ju will not say in the letter that I have become interested in Dali. Therefore, after looking at it, he said, "This is the third country and the fourth country." ”

He was also frightened.

"Brother Zihou, don't you think it's inappropriate?"

"This is Dali, far wider than Jiaozhi."

"Yes, I've thought about it too, but there are a lot of benefits, once I get Dali, it's still feasible to govern it in my way. Then the vast barbarians in the southern part of Bashu and the Kuixia region will be sandwiched in the middle, and they will lose their greatest reliance, and at least they will not dare to scourge the Han areas as unscrupulously as before. ”

This reason is not sufficient.

So Wang Ju changed his words: "Brother Zihou, where am I facing the northwest?" ”

"Western Xia Tubo."

The Huangzhou region is the real core of Tibet, so now Tibet cannot be regarded as being destroyed, and even Wang Ju's statement that half of Tibet has been destroyed cannot be established.

"If there is an iron cavalry in the north to destroy the Western Xia Tubo and divide the troops into two ways, one is to use troops in Bashu, and the other is to divide troops from the west of Shu to the south, and the sword is pointed at Dali, what will happen?"

If that's the case, the north and south will attack, Bashu will most likely be lost, and the Song Dynasty will be in danger, because the control of Bashu will undoubtedly control the upper source of the river, threatening the safety of Jiangnan.

However, Zhang Dian shook his head and said: "This is impossible, not to mention that Western Xia and Tubo are not easy to annihilate, even if they are annihilated, there are mostly snow-capped mountains in Shuxi, and there are big grasslands, and there are no decent roads, how to enter Dali from Shuxi?" ”

"Brother Zihou, there is anything possible, just like before, can you guess that I will invite the king and ministers of the Champa Kingdom to the capital?"

"How powerful is that? How powerful an army? Zhang Dian said. As an aside, you can destroy the city, but you can destroy the Western Xia Tubo, and bring a large army from Shuxi into Dali? Besides, the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi Road in the Song Dynasty grew up vegetarian?

"Brother Zihou, there is no eternal country, no matter what the generation, there will be times of rise and decline. If the Central Plains declines, the North prospers. It will be possible. ”

But Zhang was not convinced. However, Wang Juzhen only used the power in his hand to destroy Dali. He was still very welcoming, so he said, "Zi'an, think twice before acting." ”

The current war exploits are very good, no matter what means are used, they have really destroyed the two countries. If the desire is difficult to fill and the conquest of Dali fails, it is not a snake to add to it, but to enter hell immediately. At that time, it was only the verbal and written criticism of the scholars, and Wang Ju's career came to an end.

"I'm still thinking about it." Wang Ju said. However, he did not continue the topic of Dali, but carefully introduced the situation of Jiaozhi like Zhang Dian.

The next day Zhang Dian left Yongzhou and went to Jiaozhou City, the time was very fast, immediately the northwest wind together, the officials went south, and soon the people were coming, only the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of households gave him a headache, although Wang Juhui sent some helpers to help him. Therefore, he had to find out more about the situation of the cochin.

"Official, the concubine is a little worried." Qiong Niang said after waiting for Wang Ju to send Zhang Dian back.

"Worried about Dali?"

"I'm a little worried." Qiongniang said.

Maybe you can destroy Dali. But Wang Ju only asked the court for 8,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest was the power in Wang Ju's hands, but this force also had to be divided into 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Jiaozhi, so victory or defeat is really a bit difficult to say.

Wang Julai looked up and tried to recall.

It seems that Kublai Khan led an army of 100,000 troops to set off in September of a certain year, but he did not immediately go south, and he had to make a lot of preparations, and he also made a lot of preparations, and even believed that he was more prepared than Kublai Khan. Without him, he does not have a Sichuan remote separation.

This time cannot be counted.

Therefore, in September of "another certain year", Kublai Khan divided his troops into three routes to the south, walked two or three thousand miles from western Sichuan, and arrived at the Jinsha River in November, of course, this line was extremely difficult, and it seemed that only 20,000 men remained of the 100,000 cavalry in the end. Then he sent people to surrender, but the Duan clan did not surrender, so the Mongol cavalry continued to move south, occupying the capital of Dali in December. It took only three or four months to really march to the time when the war was decided. Because of the heavy losses, Kublai Khan's goal of attacking Sichuan in the north and south could not be achieved. But it also forced the Song Dynasty to increase heavy troops to Sichuan, resulting in the emptiness of the middle route. In fact, it was a different way to achieve the strategic intention of destroying the Southern Song Dynasty.

Later, the Ming Dynasty recovered Yunnan, and the Qing Dynasty exterminated Wu Sangui, so there was no need to learn from it, because it was not Dali.

But that is the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, how far is this army in his hands from them?

In fact, the combat effectiveness of this force in Wang Ju's hands is still very optimistic.

In addition to the original recruited native soldiers, there are also some barbarian areas around Hengshan and Yizhou, and forced the tribes to hand over more than 20,000 children one after another, although the successive wars have produced a large number of casualties, as well as various accidental casualties, including a small number of soldiers infected with malaria and died, now there are more than 110,000 troops in their hands, even if 10,000 troops are handed over to Zhang Dian for dispatch, there are still 100,000 troops available.

He deliberately trained more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 "special forces" from them, that is, he singled out some elites and trained them to fight in various special terrains such as mountains and forests, and more than 20,000 "various soldiers", that is, the Song army sandwiched among the displaced people, which could fight on land and water. In addition, there are more than 10,000 medical soldiers, who train them to fight while training them to master some simple medical knowledge, so that they can be used as soldiers on the battlefield and as temporary doctors after the war. And eighty percent of the soldiers have been tested in actual combat...... In the end, there is the extravagant use of soldiers, just like the battle to destroy the city, he used more than 70,000 soldiers, but took out nearly 5 million as rewards and pensions.

Although this is very expensive, it can boost the morale of the soldiers.

The terrain and climate are also suitable, maybe to the tropical rainforest, the native soldiers of Quang Nam are still a little unadaptable, but in Dali, there is absolutely no problem.

Moreover, there are Kumamoto, who is very familiar with the southwest, with Miao Zhi and Liu Changzuo, two tiger generals, who should cooperate on the Bashu side.

Okay?

There will be no difficulty in actually destroying Dali, although Dali is vast, don't think about their combat effectiveness too high, the main thing is time, you can't drag it out too long, once it drags on for a long time, financial and material resources can't keep up, plus it seems that Dali on the surface will not help much to the Song Dynasty, maybe it will become a drag, then the court will issue an edict to dismiss the army.

Then...... Naught!

It can be said that it is really a snake to add to it, because from then on, Dali will inevitably have a bad relationship with the Song Dynasty, and the great gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, Wang Ju was indeed a little hesitant.

But at this moment, Dali sent an envoy to come.

Wang Ju wrote to Dali that you must hand over the children of the Li Dynasty and some important ministers.

Indeed, many Jiaozhi people fled to Dali, but Dali said that he was very innocent, so he sent a messenger.

However, Wang Ju looked at the name on the sticker and was very surprised, because the person who came was a martial arts master who was on a fair footing with Hong Qi......

He chuckled: "Nandi." (To be continued......)
