Chapter 943: Seven Years of First Peace

Subsequently, Huang Zhong escorted thousands of barbarian prisoners into the territory of Dianchi, and the barbarians announced that they had completely surrendered to the Ming Marquis Mansion, which could be regarded as the end of the campaign of 100,000 herdsmen to conquer the four counties of Nanzhong.

However, the success of the conquest does not mean that Nanzhong will be peaceful, and if you want to completely conquer the four counties of Nanzhong, the Minghou Mansion needs to take a long time to transition.

Moreover, the barbarians' surrender to the Minghou Mansion was only a formal surrender, and now the situation is forced, and the barbarians are helpless, but it does not mean that the barbarians have no resistance at all.

Although the two battles before and after Weixian and Chaiyu, the barbarian army lost, and the loss was a bit miserable, killing countless people before and after, more than 10,000 were captured, and more than 50,000 main forces were gathered, and more than half of them were lost.

But the strength of the barbarians has not been lost too much, the key is that the major tribes of the barbarians have always been nested in the 100,000 mountains, which has preserved a lot of vitality for them.

If they want to occupy the place of the Han people, they have no more than enough power.

If they want to have 100,000 mountains as a base, and then continue to make trouble outside, shoot a shot, and change places, they still have the ability and opportunity to do it.

Therefore, in the next few days, how to govern Nanzhong in the Ming Marquis Mansion is the most critical issue, especially in dealing with the relationship between the barbarians and the Han people, toughness and softness are indispensable.

The Nanzhong Governor's Office, in the next few years, Mujing does not plan to remove it, but also to supplement its establishment.

This institution, as the Ming Marquis Mansion's balance of the four counties in Nanzhong, is the best weapon that Mu Jing intends to use to pacify the southern part of Yizhou, after this war, whether it is him, Xi Zhicai, Liu Jin, it is impossible to continue to stay in Nanzhong.

Nanzhong is very important, but Yizhou's biggest foreign enemy is in the Central Plains after all, not in the barbarian land that looks at the sky at the bottom of this well.

Yizhou is not the Yizhou of Liu Yan's era, nor is it the Yizhou of Liu Bei in history, but the Yizhou ruled by the Ming Marquis's Mansion, which is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and it is impossible for them to nest in the southwest here.

But Nanzhong is also a big problem, uneasy to soothe well, let the barbarians make trouble, let the local Yizhou people make trouble again and again, which is equivalent to Yizhou's backyard is on fire.

Who will govern Nanzhong, it is indeed a big problem, Mu Jing, Xi Zhicai, Liu Jin, they discussed for a long time, but they did not find a suitable candidate, this person, first of all, must have the ability, and then have the means, and the most important thing is to be able to control a degree.

At present, in the Minghou Mansion, Mu Jing really can't find a few such people.

In the final analysis, the Minghou Mansion is too young and weak, and it is not as good as the accumulation of those powerful forces, and there are many talents in the army, but there is a lack of talents in governing the place.

In a blink of an eye, the end of the sixth year of Chuping came as scheduled.

At the end of the year before last, I spent time in Jingzhou, and last year I was able to live a stable life for a while, and the family lived a happy life, but this year I came here in southern Xinjiang, and Mu Jing felt that he was a hard worker.

In this kind of day, he especially misses the two wives in the family, if he can, who doesn't want to make a kang head with warm nephrite and come to this place to eat the northwest wind, but as the lord, he can only lead by example.

However, there is one thing that is worthy of affirmation and gratification, this year's Minghou Mansion, the record is still strong, the first battle suppressed Xiqiang, the first war drew Nanzhong, two battles before and after, played the prestige of Yizhou, and also completely established the absolute authority of the Minghou Mansion to rule Yizhou.

After this battle, at least the distrust and suspicion of the Minghou Mansion within Yizhou have almost disappeared.

Pang Xi, Zhang Ren, Gao Ding, Deng Xian, Leng Bao, these Xichuan generals, not to mention completely returning to their hearts, at least they also have a certain recognition of the pastoral army, because of this battle, the pastoral army played a prestige that Yizhou did not have in the past.

If it was said before, Zhang Ren might still be a little unwilling, but now, Zhang Ren at least doesn't think that he still has the ability to subvert the rule of the Ming Marquis Mansion.

His last thoughts were annihilated in the battle in which the herdsmen conquered the barbarians.

At the end of the sixth year of the first peace, Mu Jing was in Dianchi Lake, in order to relieve the mood of the soldiers to miss their hometown, he held a lot of activities in the army, as much as possible to relax the mood of the soldiers on the expedition.

At this point in the war, although the conquest has ended, the troops cannot be withdrawn immediately.

At least after the New Year, after Nanzhong has been completely stabilized, it will be possible to withdraw the troops and return to Jiangzhou City.

100,000 soldiers, celebrating the New Year in this unfamiliar place, are somewhat depressed.

In this backward era, not to mention the soldiers who raised the army and fought wars, even if they were palace nobles and family lords, there were actually not many entertainment items.

But Mujing has it.

He first held a Keju competition in the army, Keju is a relatively old entertainment in ancient and modern history, and it is also a relatively open competitive entertainment, and it is also a favorite competition for soldiers.

This kind of competition can be regarded as a kind of military exercise and confrontation to decide the winner or loser, and it can also pour out excess hormones and squander the excess sweat of the soldiers.

A group of people who have just come down from the battlefield to kill the blank, a bad handling, and even a lot of thugs, people who have experienced life and death, are always not afraid of life and death, and they don't have much time to think about these things when they are fighting, and once they relax, they will inevitably have some superfluous thoughts.

Only by leaving them with no time to think about this can they settle down.

Mu Jing thought of a lot of ways to relieve the pressure of these soldiers, not only athletic activities, but also arranged for political instructors to carry out a psychological counseling activity called emotional stress reduction in the army.

Then there are a variety of ball games to allow them to use their excess energy.

Mu Jing can bring those entertainment projects that can be moved to this era in later generations.

And he also personally organized a literary troupe.

Drama.

This is an entertainment project that has not yet been established, and it is also a relatively new, innovative and eye-catching project.

Mu Jing himself served as the screenwriter, and his interpretation in the army was based on some particularly heroic stories, and this is also a way of publicity, such as Huang Zhong's war with the spear god, the three armies took Hanzhong, crossed the river to take Xiangyang, and one by one small stories were interpreted on the stage.

This added a lot of spiritual entertainment to the soldiers.

Dianchi City had most of the city in ruins before, and now many places are still in ruins, and it takes time and accumulation to build a city, but if you want to destroy it, it's only a few days.

It will take time to rebuild Dianchi Lake if it wants to regain its former prosperity and become the economic and political center of Nanzhong, but the entertainment projects of the herdsmen and soldiers have made the atmosphere of the city lively.

Even if they have just experienced the impact of war, they have recovered very quickly, and the people of this era are most characterized by getting by, hatred, they can't remember too much, but can remember the people who bring them happiness.

In this atmosphere, time quietly entered the seventh year of the first peace.

In the seventh year of Chuping, this is the seventh year of Emperor Chuping's ascension to the throne under the support of Dong Zhuo, and the world has completely entered an era of melee among princes.

The most powerful is Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo holds the elite of Xiliang, sits in Guanzhong, Lianghe, and half of Yuyan, and most of the territory of the north and west is controlled by him, and he is as martial as a cloud.

Li Rujia gradually became famous and became the world's top strategist.

Lu Bu is even more invincible, becoming the top military general in the world, and there are countless Xiliang warriors, supporting the entire system of the Xiliang Army.

Under Dong Zhuo, the strength of the major princes is almost the same.

If you want to say that it is strong, it can only be regarded as the Minghou Mansion in Xichuan, after the Minghou Mansion unified Yizhou, it sits on the southwest land, and there are natural dangers as barriers in the east and north, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is a kind of strength in itself.

In addition, the two battles of last year, the results gradually appeared on the desks of the major princes under the report of spies from all sides, and these two battles are enough to show the strength of the Ming Marquis Mansion now.

The shepherd's bravery, not a lie, from the breakthrough pass, invincible, invincible, played an unexpected might.

This also made the Ming Marquis Mansion the second largest prince in the world.

Under Dong Zhuo's pastoral scene, Yuan Shao occupied Qingzhou, Jizhou, Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, and half of the land of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sun Jian unified Jiangdong, and his strength was also strong, and Liu Bei was strong in Youzhou.

Then there is Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu used to be the first prince in the world, but after the defeat of Yuzhou, and then was seized the foundation of Nanyang, now only with Runan, it is just a dead support, it is regarded as the prince of the sunset.

Jingzhou Liu Biao, lost Xiangyang, the prestige greatly reduced, although now is also working hard to excite Yizhou, with Jiangxia Changsha as the center, Jingzhou's economic strength into Jingzhou's military strength, but Jingzhou, which is full of holes, is always a little lacking in the national strength.

In terms of Jiaozhou, since the end of the Battle of Jingzhou, Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie and Jiaozhou Mu Zhang Jin began to fight for Jiaozhou, and the current Zhang Jin has a slight upper hand, but Shixie's foundation is deep.

The Shi family is the first family in Jiaozhou, suppressing Jiaozhi for generations, in Jiaozhou, the people's will is very strong, the prestige is very heavy, compared to the outsider Zhang Jin, more Jiaozhou people are more willing to surrender to Shixie.

However, Zhang Jin is not an ordinary person, he fought in Jingzhou, pressed the formation for the herdsmen, and attacked Changsha, although he was not Changsha, but he also got a lot of advantages and played a prestige.

The situation in which the two tigers are competing has become a reality.

…………………………

The disputes of the princes of the world allowed Mu Jing to concentrate on dealing with the internal combing of Yizhou, and within two days of the Chinese New Year, he had begun to devote himself wholeheartedly to the governance of the four counties in Nanzhong.

"Yongchang Taishou, what do you think?"

Mu Jing held a small meeting in the newly built official office of the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion, and there were not many people who participated in the meeting, and they were all important people in Nanzhong.

"I think of someone!"

The fifth Yue said.

"Say!"

"Xu Min!"

"Yonghong's most powerful long history?" Mu Jing squinted his eyes and looked at the fifth Yue, the fifth Yue felt very low-key before, but after entering the formation of the Minghou Mansion, he was very active, and he dared to say that he could do it, and he could be regarded as a talent.

"It's him!"

Fifth Yue said: "Yonghong can sit firmly in Yizhou, he is indispensable, and he is especially good at dealing with barbarians, Yongchang twice and the barbarians have a bad relationship, it is he who saved the situation, and only then did Yonghong can form an alliance with the barbarians!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "If the lord wants to govern Yongchang, it is naturally indispensable to check and balance the barbarians, and it is more necessary for someone to be able to deal with the relationship between the Han and the barbarians. ”

"The fifth Taishou's analysis is correct, it's just ......" Xi Zhi squinted his eyes and asked: "One thing, if you can't guarantee it, everything is empty talk!" ”

"Faithful!"

Liu Jin added: "There is no guarantee that Xu Min will be loyal to our Minghou Mansion, so putting him in the position of Yongchang will easily allow him to unite with the barbarians, and then we will be passive!" ”

The fifth Yue thought for a while and said, "Although I can't guarantee Xu Min's loyalty, I ...... This person can still be used, I know him, and I understand him, if Yonghong is still alive, I don't recommend using him, but Yonghong is dead, he can use it, he may not be absolutely trusted, but he has the courage to dare not resist the lord alone! ”

"Lord, this person has to be used with caution!" Liu Jin still disagreed.

"Xu Min!"

Mu Jing called out the name, and his thoughts became a little silent, between using and not using, in the final analysis, it was just a decision, but this decision was related to the future development of Yongchang County.

"Use him!"

Mu Jing pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Lord!" Liu Jin still disagreed, and just as he wanted to express his opinion, he was rudely interrupted by Mu Jing.

"Do you have any other candidates?" Mu Jing asked.

Liu Jin fell silent all of a sudden.

He didn't.

Because the accumulation of talents in the Minghou Mansion is mostly based on the talents of a county, and there is a great lack of talents for the herdsmen and a county, and the north of Yizhou cannot be taken care of, let alone the south of Yizhou.

"I don't just use him, I have to use a person to balance him!" Mu Jing said: "Meng Shu will return to Jiangzhou with me, the most proud think tank around him, I will leave him, so that I can use Meng Shu well, and I can also let him rest assured of the tribe, I am ready to give him the position of Yongchang Changshi, on the one hand, I can appease the barbarians, on the other hand, I can also let the barbarians start to relocate, not to lure them out of the 100,000 mountains, I don't worry!" ”

"Meng You?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes moved: "Lord, you are playing with fire!" ”

This is a dangerous figure.

In the heart of Xi Zhicai, Meng You's danger is even higher than Meng Yu.

"It's a bit of a game of fire, and those who play with fire are easy to self-immolate, but ......" Mu Jing shrugged: "Now that the situation has come to this point, I want to take every step of the way, it's a little difficult, I can only take a risk, in the end, Nanzhong can withstand the toss, and the Minghou Mansion can't stand the toss!" ”

"Hey!"

Xi Zhicai and Liu Jin both sighed.

Mu Jing was not wrong at all.

The Minghou Mansion can't withstand too much tossing, but Nanzhong, just toss casually, and the pastoral army can suppress the situation.

"The position of the Yue Net, I plan to give it to Bai Man!"

Another bomb dropped on Mu Jing.

"Lord, aren't you afraid that the barbarians will become a hidden danger?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "I have always governed these foreign races, the attitude of the imperial court is the problem, if you don't have the heart to integrate them, then don't talk about how to govern them, first of all, you must see the interests, in order to make them trust, this is the key, I let them be officials, I let them take power, is to tell them, I am willing to treat them with the attitude of the Han people, people want to be stable and happy, there are good days, I don't believe that how many people in the barbarian tribe are willing to sacrifice a family one after another in order to oppose me!" ”

"Maybe you have a point, but I still feel that the danger is too great!"

Xi Zhicai reserved his opinion.

"What about the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion!"

"I've got someone to choose!" Mu Jing squinted, and his eyes flashed with an unknown light: "It's just this person, you still need to wait for the wind, when the wind comes, he will come!" (To be continued)
