"Lord, good news comes from Liangzhou. Yanju Prefecture's troops have successfully taken over Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture and joined Wei Zilin. Now, we have successfully connected the eight western Liangzhou prefectures to Xiazhou.
, which allows our army to transport the military supplies and daily needs from Xiazhou to western Liangzhou smoothly from Xiazhou." The Zhao Wangfu, the government affairs envoy Pei Yi reported with a smile on his face.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It is not a problem to take down Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture in Yanju Prefecture. After all, in Liangzhou, the western prefectures and counties have been abandoned by the Liangzhou Army, and it is extremely barren.
It is not valued by the Liangzhou army. Only Yanju Prefecture has become the important place for the Liangzhou army to block us. After Yanju Prefecture, the prefectures and counties in the west are already in their pockets.”
Pei Yi said: "Lord, Mr. Wei Zilin and Wei asked us for help, hoping to move as many people as possible to the west to fill the shortcomings of the Han people in the prefectures and counties in the west. My subordinates believe that this matter should be taken early and that our Han people should be moved earlier.
There, it can not only consolidate its rule, but also lay a solid foundation for our army to attack the Western Regions."
"Population...Population..." Zhao Xun also frowned secretly in response to this. The Zhao army expanded continuously in recent years, especially in the territory of the Dayan Kingdom, which has expanded outwardly into the three states and migrated many Han people.
In addition, the people in various places have made the people in various places more uniform, and few people have become landless refugees. And when the people have land and homes, how can they easily leave their homes? Zhao Xun doesn't want to use the forced means.
.
Furthermore, the prefectures and counties in the western Liangzhou are located in the northwest and are relatively barren. The people are not far away from their hometowns to build new homes in the bitter and cold places. Therefore, Zhao Xun is also a bit difficult to do this.
Seeing Zhao Xun pondering, Pei Yi suggested: "Lord, why don't we carry out a southern expedition first and attack the southern princes, especially the Yong army, we will surely gain a lot of landless people from the Yong army's rule.
There is no new policy under the military rule, and there are many people without land. Can we take advantage of this?”
Lu Ziliang on the side shook his head and said, "No, our army suddenly headed south at this moment, which will surely shock the princes in the south. Originally, our army already occupied half of the country. If we attacked the south again, it would definitely shock all the princes.
Aren’t they afraid that our army would have the intention of going south to attack the world? Once the princes who were fighting in the internal battle stopped fighting, then our original plan to use them to restrain each other and attack the border would be miscalculated."
"Let's not talk about anything else, even though the old and sick Situ Lei is not a good person. Once he stops attacking Murong Cheng and joins with the other princes, it will be difficult for us to go south. The minister's intention is still as follows
The original plan was to destroy Situ Lei first and reduce the pressure on the Yong army, forcing these princes to separate and completely dismember the Yong army. If the strongest Yong army is divided, then the obstacles for our southward journey will be gone.
half."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Now is indeed not a good time to rush the army south. This Situ Lei is not an ordinary person. Just as he is too eager to force him, he will definitely join forces with Murong Cheng and others to join forces with the princes in the south to fight against our army."
Pei Yi frowned and said, "Situ Lei is willing to join forces with Murong Cheng, but Murong Cheng may not necessarily join forces with Situ Lei. The Qi army, the largest prince in the world, has now been divided by the Tang army, Yanzhou army and Yong army.
How could Murong Cheng swallow this? Besides, the little emperor in Situ Lei's hands was also a major obstacle to Murong Cheng's rise. He was unwilling to put up a mountain on his head. Once he joined forces with Situ Lei, he would definitely
If you want to recognize the identity of the little emperor in Situ Lei's hands, then Murong Cheng will really lose hope of becoming the throne."
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "What if Situ Lei is willing to abolish the little emperor and let him disappear, or, in other words, hand over the little emperor to Murong Cheng? In this way, will Murong Cheng agree to Situ Lei's alliance request? Even,
Situ Lei is willing to give up or return some of the interests seized by the Qi army?"
Pei Yi was stunned and said, "It is very likely that this is the case. However, Situ Lei worked hard to set a legitimate banner for himself, and he worked hard to dig a large piece of meat from Murong Cheng's hands.
Situ Lei was willing to give up? In order to defeat Murong Cheng, Situ Lei had fought with him for decades. Now there has been a great change, how could Situ Lei be willing to do so?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "If it were on weekdays, Situ Lei would certainly not be willing to do so. If Situ Lei was still young and strong, he would not be willing to do so. However, if my family went south in large numbers, he knew very well with Situ Lei's current situation.
If he dies, his sons will not be able to lead the Yong army to block our army. In this case, everything can be abandoned. After all, if he does not abandon it, the Yong army will likely disappear. And the Taositu
My family will die."
Pei Yi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that we can only wait until Situ Lei dies. Fortunately, Situ Lei has begun to gather the rights of the states and is ready to pave the way for the new Yong Wang. This means that Situ
It’s been a long time since the thunder has not been around. Otherwise, our plan will definitely come true.”
Zhao Xun smiled, "You are right. Now we have already gained all the advantages in facing the Yong army. We are just waiting for a while. For this time, I can still wait.
Besides, I hope that Situ Lei can hold on for a while, so that we can pacify Liangzhou and set up the Western Regions, and at the same time, let the southern princes fight to the death and then we will take action again. "
"By the way, if you want to relocate the people, how many people need to be relocated? In this regard, can the Government Affairs Department have a big question data?"
Pei Yi said: "Report to the Lord, if we want to completely stabilize the western prefectures, it will take at least one million, and it can even be said that the more the better. After all, we will continue to expand westward in the future. The Western Regions countries will be cut off.
Not only did we talk about our business path, but we also began to bewitch foreign tribes and local tyrants in Liangzhou. We must use thunder to conquer them. We will not easily surrender if we don’t let them know the power of our Great Zhao.”
"Millions of people are indeed not a small number!" Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although the Zhao army ruled tens of millions of people, it was not easy to move more than one million people to the western part of Liangzhou.
Yes, this is more troublesome than dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops. After all, the army is in a reasonable and orderly manner and has strict rules. However, moving the people is not only responsible for their needs, but also responsible for their settlement and their ability to stay in the house.
A new home can survive.
Situ Liang smiled and said, "Lord, although this million people seem to be a large number, we do not have to move away at one time. We can do it slowly and accumulate a small amount."
Zhao Xun paused and said with a smile: "I am confused and was shocked by this data for a moment. Situ Liang was right. The population of more than one million is indeed large, but we do not want to move away at one time.
Just do it slowly, and sooner or later, more than one million people will be moved to Liangzhou."
Lu Ziliang also said seriously: "Now the princes in the south are fighting, and the people are displaced, and there are many people under the rule of our Zhao army in the north. Although it is not suitable for the people in the eastern part to move to Liangzhou, it is still very effective for the people in the Yong army to move to Liangzhou.
If we can occupy all Liangzhou, that is the most convenient thing for us to move Liangzhou. Now, we need to detour Bingzhou to Xiazhou from the rule of the Yong army, and finally we will reach the western part of Liangzhou."
Situ Liang said: "It would be better to do this. The eastern part of Liangzhou, Lingzhou Prefecture near the eastern part, has been taken down by our Zhao army. The north and northwest are also the territory of our family. We surrounded each other, without foreign aid,
Liangzhou must not be defended for a long time. It should not be very difficult to take down Liangzhou. In addition, we can also let the troops stationed in the southern part of Bingzhou coerce Chang'an and Luoyang, and force the Yong army in Yongzhou and the Chang'an land.
The Yong army is not allowed to aid Liangzhou. It lays the foundation for us to take down Liangzhou as soon as possible."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Okay, just do as it is said. Let the troops stationed in Bingzhou move, and it is the only way to train soldiers. Then, someone will be sent to be responsible for the relocation of refugees and will escape from the Yong army.
All refugees will be moved to the western part of Liangzhou. The Government Affairs Department will send people to this matter specifically. Otherwise, they must be responsible for this matter and remember not to make any mistakes. The king will send people from the Supervision Department and the Eagle Eye Department to jointly inspect, and dare anyone be there.
This matter will be sloppy and severely punished."
Lu Ziliang suddenly said: "Lord, since we are mainly refugees who fled to survive under the rule of the Yong army, why not send us to teach our Zhao army the benefits in Yongzhou and Yizhou, so that the people here can move northward. This will not only speed up the
Our plan to migrate the Han people can also weaken the power of the Yong army and cause trouble for Situ Lei."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Yes, this idea is good. Send people to promote it. We will give more benefits to the Han people who moved to western Liangzhou. In addition, the prefectures and counties in western Liangzhou are exempted from tax for two years.
The migrant Han people will be exempted from tax for three years to encourage Han people to move to Liangzhou."
Pei Yi thought for a while and said, "Lord, my ministers have some suggestions. However, this suggestion will not be effective soon, but it will have considerable results for the future."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Oh? But it doesn't matter. This matter is related to the safety of my entire western part of Zhao. It will never be finished in a short while. This requires continuous influence."
Pei Yi said in a deep voice: "The migration of the population is just an increase in the Han people from the outside. Why don't we increase the number of Han people from the inside? The western part of Liangzhou is poor for people, but from the previous dynasty to the present, it has always been the land of my Han people.
Both the dynasty and the dynasty have migrated the population many times due to border problems, filling the proportion of Han people and Hu Yi. In the western prefectures of Liangzhou, although we, Han people, cannot gain an absolute advantage, there are still half of them."
Zhao Xun gradually understood what Pei Yi meant and immediately said happily: "What is your suggestion?"
Pei Yi said: "Let these Han people increase their population by themselves!"
On the other hand, Lu Ziliang suddenly realized: "My subordinates understand what Lord Pei means. Lord Pei means to encourage childbirth and even reduce the childbirth of Huyi foreign tribes."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "That's right, this is what the subordinates mean. Since we need to increase the proportion of Han people, since we want to maintain our Han people's stable rule in the western part of Liangzhou, the Han people occupy an absolute dominance, that is essential. How can we do so?
What about getting the ratio to the desired goal? Either increase your own side or decrease your enemy."
"It's okay to add. The easiest thing is to migrate people from other regions, but this is not something that can be done simply. If it was in a prosperous era, it would not be a problem to migrate millions of people to Liangzhou, and we are completely different.
It can bear the consumption of the migration of millions of people. But it is still in a war-torn period. Any accident may lead to the migration, temporarily suspending, or forcing abort."
"When it comes to reducing the proportion of the enemy, the cheapest thing is to use force to solve the other party. But massacre can only bring about tyranny, and will cause great success to us rule the western part of Liangzhou, and even attack the countries in the Western Regions in the future, and carry out trade with the countries in the Western Regions.
Therefore, we need to adopt another gentle but extraordinary way.”
"We can completely encourage Han people to marry more wives and concubines, have more children, and even we can reduce taxes and even provide raising money and food for households that raise certain children. For foreigners living in western prefectures, we must
Following our Zhao army's laws, we must restrict them from marrying wives and taking concubines. Of course, the number cannot be restricted explicitly, but their taxes can be increased based on the population. Of course, the most important thing is the descendants, and certain restrictions must be imposed
.”
"In addition, we must immediately expand the academies within the western prefectures and counties to teach the Han culture at home and abroad. As for their descendants, they must also accept it. Otherwise, the prefectures and counties in the western prefectures and counties will not use them, either governments or shops.
When the new generation grows up, not to mention that Han people have more newborns than foreigners, even the new generation of foreigners will be able to tame Han people."
Situ Liang couldn't help but exclaim: "Good idea, we are all fascinated by the most superficial problems. Lord Pei's move is great. Encouraging childbirth and sage education is also a very powerful method."
Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, these are all very good methods. I'll send an order to Wei Zilin immediately and do what I said. No matter what, we have to do a two-pronged approach."
…………
Since Li Chenfeng led his troops to join Wei Zilin, the five northwest prefectures have become extremely stable. At this moment, not to mention a small Tulun tribe, even if the Gaochang Kingdom and other Western countries came, Wei Zilin and others were not afraid.
.Immediately, Wei Zilin waved his butcher knife again and carried out a bloody suppression of the powerful people who occupied a large number of fields and wealth in the western regions and horse thieves who fled.
When Wei Zilin first took over the three northwest prefectures, although some local tyrants were cleared, they were all tyrants living in the city. Those tyrants who lived outside the city and established tyrants and those foreign tribes who did not comply with the jurisdiction of the local government.
Wei Zilin did not take action directly. First, Wei Zilin needed to take over the local area as soon as possible, hoping that the local area would give orders as soon as possible. Second, Xue Qinglan didn't have much force at the beginning.
But now, more than 50,000 town troops have gathered in the eight western prefectures of Liangzhou, 30,000 local government soldiers, county soldiers, and township inspection departments. At this moment, it is time to deal with local tyrants.
So, with the joint efforts of the town army, local government soldiers and county soldiers, one town after another, Wei Zilin's methods were solved. This time, Wei Zilin's methods were more ruthless than before. These local tyrants and foreign gathering places were ignored.
The existence of the Liangzhou military government in the past. Not only did they not contribute to the government, but they were cancers living in the prefectures and counties in the western Liangzhou.
The army is approaching, who dares to resist? Even the Tulun tribe, which has tens of thousands of troops, was destroyed overnight, let alone them? These powerful men and foreign tribes gathered on the ground, but they all became corpses.
In Wei Zilin's words, since it cannot be used by me, then go to hell with the original Liangzhou army. In the end, the Zhao army used the army's upright oppression to force these powerful men to surrender. At the same time, they began to send Shadow Department and Hawkeye
The good men of the Si and the powerful men in the Zhao army scouts launched assassination of these powerful clans. After all, Wei Zilin did not want the private servants of these powerful clans to die all the tenants due to the war. No matter what,
It can also add labor to the Zhao army's command of the western prefectures. In addition, those powerful families will encounter inexplicable things, either the whole family is poisoned or the whole family dies suddenly.
Following closely behind, local governments successfully accepted private soldiers, tenants and property from those powerful families, and transported the population and property to local governments to dispose of them. Most of these properties will be used on the people.
Afterwards, Wei Zilin received the order from Zhao Xun and began to post instructions in various government offices. Of course, on the surface, naturally, they would not directly divide the Han people and Hu Yi clearly. But Wei Zilin borrowed it to increase the population of the western prefectures and prosper.
Therefore, childbirth is encouraged. Although it is not clearly pointed out, it is secretly directed at the Han people. However, Hu Yi did not care too much about marrying a wife and taking concubines.
What Hu Yi cares about is that the government posted a notice clearly stating that the localities in Liangzhou use the Chinese language as the official language. Anyone who knows Chinese will have priority to recruit soldiers, allocate land, and reward the top of the mountain.
The merchants from Zhao who went to the western region also said that in the future, those who know Chinese were given priority to recruiting helpers and servants.
In this way, the Qiang and Hu people, the Hu people in the Western Regions, the Turks, Tuguhu people, and Dangxiang people who lived in the prefectures and counties in the western part of Liangzhou all began to busy learning Chinese. These foreigners living in Liangzhou were all mixed,
But they all have the same meaning. They are not very powerful among their respective ethnic groups, otherwise they would not have lived in the Han area.
Subsequently, a large number of academies of various levels were established in the western prefectures and counties of Liangzhou. In this way, many scholars who defected to the Zhao army in recent years were settled. Under the rule of the Zhao army, the academy was also a kind of similar to those of the assistant officials.
People in the government offices were also treated very well. And the saints began to be educated in the western prefectures.
