He said that the whole of Hunan was left to Guo Wei to manage, but Zhang Hao really didn't interfere.
Zhang Gao did not care about appeasing the people of Tanzhou, allocating food, isolating dysentery patients, restoring public security in the city, or even reorganizing Tanzhou's grassroots government.
I, Zhang Shengren, am currently busy recruiting the few talents from Ma Chu.
Among the eighteen scholars of Ma Chutiance Mansion during the period from Ma Yin to Ma Xifan, the six who could be called talented were Tuoba Heng, Li Honggao, Li Hongjie, He Zhongju, Liao Kuangtu, and Xu Zhongya.
Among them, brothers Li Honggao and Li Hongjie had been killed by Ma Xi'e. He Zhongju and Liao Kuangtu had already taken refuge with Zhang Yan. The only ones who had not yet surrendered were Tuoba Heng and Xu Zhongya.
Among the first two, He Zhongju was very talented and a very qualified local chief executive, capable of serving as a governor of a province. Liao Kuangtu was both civil and military and could be a border commander.
Among the remaining two, Zhang Yan summoned Xu Zhongya and had an in-depth talk with him, and then he realized that this person's ability was very similar to that of the brothers Li Honggao and Li Hongjie who were killed by Ma Xi'e.
In terms of government affairs, he can only be ordinary, and he is not very knowledgeable in military matters. However, he is very capable in drafting articles, drafting edicts, formulating rituals and music systems, etc. He is a very qualified Hanlin bachelor and knows how to make imperial edicts.
As for Tuoba Heng, he is a very capable person. This conclusion was made before Zhang Yan met him.
Because no matter whether it was Nanping ministers like Sun Guangxian or Ma Chu ministers like Liao Kuangtu, Zhang Shaodi, and He Zhongju, they all thought so.
Even when he led his army south, Feng Dao told Zhang Gao face to face that Ma Chu's Tuoba Heng was a talented person among Wang Zuo.
Because Tuoba Heng had accompanied Ma Xifan to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to pay homage to Emperor Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty, Feng Dao therefore got to know Tuoba Heng.
Tuoba Heng's original surname was Yuan, but he changed his surname to Tuoba to avoid Ma Yin's father Ma Yuanfeng's taboo.
Uh! Something seems wrong. It should be said that his surname is Tuoba.
Anyway, after going round and round, this descendant of Tuoba Xianbei changed his surname back to Tuoba, which has a special meaning in the late Tang Dynasty.
This person followed Ma Yin as an aide before he entered Hunan. After Ma Yin founded the country, he became the de facto prime minister and was called Pu She.
During the Ma Xifan period, Ma Chu was removed from the state system, and Tuoba Heng's servant became a promotion official, but he was still the top leader in the Chu state's government affairs and became the first of the eighteen bachelors.
After Ma Yin's death, Tuoba Heng continued to assist brothers Ma Xisheng and Ma Xifan.
However, in the later period of Ma Xifan's reign, he was extravagant and overturned the national policy of light corvee and small taxes designed by Tuoba Heng to restore the economy. He also vowed never to see him because of Tuoba Heng's constant advice.
But Ma Xifan did not deprive Tuoba Heng of all his power, because he still knew who Ma Chu was relying on for support.
So when Ma Xifan was critically ill, he immediately summoned Tuoba Heng and entrusted the entire Ma Chu and Ma Xiguang to Tuoba Heng.
It's just that Ma Xifan chose the timing too late, or he didn't expect that he would die of illness so soon. As a result, Ma Chu's most critical moment of decision had arrived before Tuoba Heng, who had been entrusted with the task, had time to take control of the power.
Although Ma Xifan decreed that his brother Ma Xiguang should succeed to the throne, Tuoba Heng, Zhang Shaodi, Yuan Yougong and others still suggested Ma Xihe immediately to avoid civil strife in Ma Chu.
It was just that Li Honggao, who had taken over the power, could not be defeated, and finally caused this disaster.
This is not because Tuoba Heng has no talent, it is precisely because he has talent, but neither Ma Xisheng nor Ma Xifan is a promising person. Instead, they find Tuoba Heng who puts forward correct opinions annoying, which leads to Tuoba Heng not being able to use his talent.
Zhang Gao asked Tuoba Heng about his strategy to pacify Ma Chu, and Tuoba Heng answered fluently. He and Zhang Gao had the same intention, and proposed that he hope to continue the policies of the Ma and Yin Dynasties, take away the power of local Ya soldiers, and use civil servants to govern.
.
Looking at the whole world, although this is an era of warriors, the places where warriors committed the most serious disasters are actually only Zhongyuan, Qian Yue, Wang Min and other places.
Meng Shu, Southern Tang, and Ma Chu had a basis for governing the world with civil servants, because the army of these three kingdoms was not very arrogant, and the civil servants held considerable power from the central to the local level.
Of course, this also led to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the armies of these three countries was far inferior to that of the Central Plains court with its arrogant warriors.
Seeing that Tuoba Heng was talented, Zhang Gao revealed to him the native official system he had designed.
It's just that unlike Zhang Shengren who thought Tuoba Heng would fully agree with it, Tuoba Heng did praise the native official system, but he didn't have any expectations that it could be implemented now.
Facing Zhang Yan's complacency, Tuoba Heng sat on a brocade stool and said to Zhang Yan among the ruins of the Nine Dragons Palace that still leaked from time to time.
"Your Majesty's system of native officials should have been based on the later Han Dynasty's strategy of appeasing the southwestern barbarians, but it was too soft-hearted and lost the power of force to rely on, like a duckweed without roots.
Thinking back on these hundreds of years, the person who was most successful in stabilizing the barbarians and managing the place in Nanzhong was King Zhuge Wuning.
During the Ji Han period, he personally led a large army to pacify Nanzhong, appointed local nobles as officials, and enabled Ji Han to obtain all the soldiers and property of Nanzhong. He stabilized the Shu Kingdom that was in turmoil after the defeat of Emperor Zhaolie at Xiaoting. His contribution was extremely great."
Zhang Hao laughed, and then looked at Tuoba Heng with some confusion, "Since you know that Zhuge Kongming used this method to pacify Nanzhong, he used gentle means to subdue the barbarian Meng Huo and others, and then appointed the local barbarians as officials.
, Nanzhong has no longer rebelled, doesn’t it prove that the local official system is effective?”
"Who said this to Your Majesty? This is a crime of deceiving heaven and should be executed!"
As soon as Zhang Gao finished speaking, Tuoba Heng on the brocade bench suddenly became furious. He stood up with a hiss and shouted loudly and fiercely.
But immediately, Tuoba Heng realized that he had lost his composure.
This was not Ma Chu, nor was he facing Ma Yin, the King of Wu Mu who trusted him, but the Emperor of Central Plains whom he had just met for the first time.
So after shouting, Tuoba Heng immediately fell to the ground in fear.
"I have no status, and I am disrespectful in front of the emperor. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yan was stunned by Tuoba Heng's roar, and he understood why Ma Xifan didn't use Tuoba Heng anymore.
Although this man is talented and learned, he is too arrogant, has a bad temper, doesn't speak well, and has no sense of humility. A king who doesn't have the ability to bear such a title will not be able to bear his subordinates.
Of course, who is I, Saint Zhang? He is a famous king throughout the ages! Of course he can bear it.
And what Zhang Hao is even more curious about is that he shouldn't have said anything wrong just now? Why did Tuoba Heng have such a big reaction?
Zhuge Liang captured and manipulated Meng Huo seven times, and finally subdued him. Nanzhong never rebelled again. In later generations, ethnic minorities in Yunnan still worshiped Prime Minister Zhuge. Isn't this right?
"Get up, get up! I never punish people with words. Tell me, why did you say beheading people just now?"
Since he was curious, he naturally wanted to ask for the answer. Zhang Hao quickly called Tuoba Heng, who was lying on the ground, to get up.
Tuoba Heng sat down on the brocade stool again. Perhaps because he knew how dangerous his recklessness was, he seemed more reserved now, but it also seemed more like the king and his ministers were playing the right game.
"The common people just lost their composure because what Your Majesty just said was false. I suddenly felt that someone was deliberately deceiving Your Majesty."
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with what I said just now, but no one must have deceived Zhang Yan. If someone insisted, it would be Luo Guanzhong and the director of CCTV's Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Of course, Luo Guanzhong would still be hundreds of years away from appearing at this time, and CCTV was nowhere to be seen. Zhang Yan could not blame these people, nor could he blame them.
So Zhang Yan thought for a moment in his mind and said to Tuoba Heng: "I read what was said in the Huayang Guozhi. Is there something wrong?"
When Tuoba Heng heard this, his eyebrows rose directly, and he looked like he was about to spray again, but he immediately held it back, and then coughed awkwardly, and then said to Zhang Hao.
"Chang Cu was a great talent in Sichuan. However, he wrote history in his later years, not because of his original intention, but because he had great achievements in persuading Li Shi, the leader of the Han Dynasty, to surrender to the Jin Dynasty. However, he was discriminated against and discriminated against by the aristocratic families who traveled south to the Jin Dynasty. He was excluded and had no hope of career before he came back to make history.
He was resentful that he was not rewarded for his great achievements, so he wrote the Shu Zhi, Nan Zhong Zhi, Li Shu, etc. in Huayang Guo Zhi, although the original ones were deleted to make up for the shortcomings in the history of Southwest China.
However, many of the records contained praise for the regime and talents in Sichuan. Your Majesty can regard this book as a history book. From the perspective of scenery, it would be absurd to believe them all as true without thinking."
Okay! Tuoba Heng still said it, but to Zhang Yan, it was almost pointing at his nose and saying that he didn't think much about reading and made a difference.
Zhang Shengren took a deep breath and suppressed a little bit of unhappiness in his heart.
As expected, this holy king who humbly accepts advice is not so easy to be like.
Those who commit the crime of stabbing someone in front of others will be sentenced to more than five years in prison.
Anyone who writes a letter to remonstrate against a widower shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights.
Those who can slander and ridicule the city and the court, and those who hear it will be punished by administrative detention for not more than fifteen days, can make people feel most comfortable in front of them.
Well, Zhang Shengren tried his best to put on a slightly surprised smile.
"I come from the northwest, and I didn't read much when I was a child. Therefore, I could only recite the books quickly when I read them. I really lacked the ability to discern. Please tell me, what is wrong in the Huayang National Chronicle?"
Zhang Yan's appearance made Tuoba Heng embarrassed, and he was also extremely moved. He didn't expect that the emperor loved reading so much, was so generous, and respected scholars. He was immediately moved.
"Your Majesty is truly a real master! I am a latecomer in learning, and I dare not say that there are any mistakes in Chang Cuchang's magnificent masterpiece.
But His Majesty just said that King Zhuge Wuning used benevolent government to control Nanzhong, and Nanzhong will never rebel again, which is indeed a deviation."
"Come on!" Zhang Gao waved his hand. As long as it corrected his mistakes, Zhang Shengren would definitely welcome it.
And he was a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't say anything about it. Otherwise, he didn't know how he would have been sprayed.
Tuoba Heng cupped his hands, cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, when King Zhuge Wuning settled in Nanzhong in the past, he actually did not implement any benevolent policies. Instead, he used thunderous methods.
He divided his troops into three groups and forced to kill Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and other bandit leaders. Whenever a rebel general turned against the people, he immediately exterminated them. He never tolerated them and showed no mercy at all.
After the chaos was generally subsided, he set up Pingyi Gaojiang Governor's Mansion in Nanzhong to guard it, opened up Nanzhong's mineral deposits, collected property from various counties, and conquered Nanzhong's brave men to build a flying army to capture everything in Nanzhong.
Han's income increases by at least 30% every year.
As a result, the various places in the south and central region were suffering unspeakably. As soon as King Zhuge Wuning returned to the north, chaos broke out again.
That’s why I said, Your Majesty is wrong to think that Ji Han is Huairou Nanzhong, and Nanzhong will never rebel again.”
"So." Zhang Gao touched his chin, "What Zhuge Kongming did was not a benevolent government. The various ethnic groups in Nanzhong are still resisting. How did the Shu Han ensure that Nanzhong was firmly controlled?"
In fact, now that Zhang is sitting in his current position, benevolent government has become something that can be changed at any time as needed.
So what he was most interested in was how to get inspiration from Zhuge Liang's actions to pacify Nanzhong.
Tuoba Heng, who was sitting on the brocade stool, once again raised his hands and said: "Ji Han's decision to set up Nanzhong was nothing more than six strategies.
First, use thunderous means to attack the rebels, kill their backbone, and capture their followers without mercy. Even if they rebel, they will not be able to start a prairie fire.
Second, treat the various ethnic groups in Nanzhong differently, attack the disobedient barbarians, and use the large Han people in Nanzhong.
For example, Meng Huo was not a barbarian. In fact, the Meng family belonged to a large Han clan in southern China. Ji Han reused them and assigned the captured tribesmen to these Han clans to control them respectively.
Third, recruit all the brave men from all ethnic groups in the south and use them as high-ranking officials and generous salaries for your own use, just like being a flying army.
Fourth, recruit talented and learned people from the Han people to serve in the central government.
Fifth, set up prefectures and counties in Nanzhong to promote culture and education, spread the path of saints, and make people's hearts toward China.
Sixth, widen the Chi Road to allow traffic in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, strengthen connections, and facilitate quelling chaos at any time.
If these six strategies were used, Ji Han was limited by the Northern Expedition and could only act arbitrarily. It would still make the barbarians in the south and central areas unable to resist, and Ji Han could only use his anointing.
Your Majesty is obeying the will of the people today. If you use these six strategies and add the local official system, you will be the great sage of Nanzhong for the world after Shuhan."
right!
Zhang Gao stood up suddenly. At first, he thought that capturing Meng Huo seven times and conquering Meng Huo seven times was a bit simple.
Come to think of it, all the tribes in Nanzhong are in charge of themselves, so why should they find a father for themselves? You've come to the door, and you're going after someone's heart and hair!
He must have been subdued and squeezed first, so that he didn't dare to resist, and then he came to show mercy at the end.
From this, Zhang Yan also discovered another phenomenon, that is, the big toast in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing in later generations.
For example, the founder of the Xie family chieftain of the Zangzhou barbarians is Xie Siam, the ancestor of the Xie family in Guizhou today.
Although he was called a chieftain, he was actually from Dancheng County, Hebei Province. He was sent to Guizhou by Wang Mang to manage the local area, and was finally named a chieftain officer by the central court.
Peng Shichou, the chieftain of Peng family in Yongshun, is from Jizhou, Jiangxi.
Tian Xianzong, the ancestor of the Tian family chieftain in Sizhou, was from Lantian, Shaanxi, and went there during the reign of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Duan, the ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou, was from Taiyuan, Shanxi.
Ma Dinghu, the ancestor of the Shizhu Ma family chieftain of Qin Liangyu's husband's family, entered Shu during the Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty. He claimed to be a descendant of Ma Yuan and a native of Fufeng, Shaanxi.
For example, there are many, many famous chieftain clans, basically all have a Han ancestor.
Although some are clingy, it is undeniable that this is the general trend of people's hearts and the influence of culture.
Why in later generations, compatriots of all ethnic groups in Southwest China got along harmoniously with the Han people as if they were one family. This subtle influence and this policy of gradual penetration are indispensable.
At this time, this policy may seem a little cruel, but it contributed indispensably to the formation of a unified Chinese nation, and future generations will also benefit from it.
However, thinking of this, Zhang Hao suddenly clapped his hands, looking extremely frustrated.
"What a pity! Hateful! We already have a strategy, but I can't use it now!"
Tuoba Heng's eyes lit up and he praised again, "Your Majesty is the true Holy Lord! What I fear the most is that Your Majesty will use this local official's strategy at this moment, because it is not yet time.
The Peng family and other barbarians to the west of Hunan have not yet been conquered, so using local officials to reward them would be counterproductive.
If ten years later, the world is settled, and the system of native officials is used to control it, Nanzhong can be returned to the country! Even if the navy is used to control the territory, it can be recovered."
Tonghaijiedushi was the Dali Kingdom, and the Duan family of Dali started from being named Tonghaijiedushi by the Later Jin Dynasty.
"Then what should we do with Peng Shichou and others now?" Zhang Hao finally asked.
Tuoba Heng looked at Zhang Yan and said loudly: "Your Majesty can follow the old rules of Ma Xifan and be kind and generous. When the world is settled, he can return to the country and understand the general situation, and he can be a local official forever. If he knows the time, he will
It’s just a good opportunity to calm things down.”
"Okay!" Zhang Hao also shouted. He was originally planning to wait for Peng Shichou and then let Guo Wei go to appease the barbarians everywhere, but now it seems that Tuoba Heng's suggestion is more appropriate.
He wants to return to the Central Plains immediately to unify the world as soon as possible, then come to the northern grasslands to pacify the barbarians in the south.
