Chapter 141: Backyard Worries

Mr. is Mr., and he doesn't forget to teach when he solves doubts. Zhao Yu rushed to find Ying Jie Yan to ask for advice, and the old man was not in a hurry to give him advice, but started from the history of Qiongzhou's return to the Song Dynasty. Of course, the old man will also be lazy, he asked Deng Guang to recommend the lecture, and he added on the side, who made him young and read more! But this is also Zhao Yu's six-year-old body, and the thought of the year of his life, otherwise he would not fall asleep and go crazy.

If you think about listening to two Tang monks talk about it from hundreds of years ago to the present, this is not telling stories and commenting on books, but telling boring history. In addition, they are extremely responsible, lest His Highness not understand, and they are worried that there will be omissions, so they will inevitably be verbose. This made Zhao Hao have to suspect that the two masters were taking revenge on him, who let him take a few days of classes seriously from the three masters entering the mansion, but he can't be blamed entirely, who made him the busiest in the mansion! However, it is also beneficial to listen to it, at least it gives Zhao Yu a general understanding of the evolution of the Great Song Dynasty's policy towards Qiong......

Hainan Island in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuanfeng began to build Zhuya, Dan'er two counties, it is into the Chinese territory, the Three Kingdoms Hainan Island under the jurisdiction of Wu, to the Liang Dynasty and rebuilt Yazhou on Hainan Island. After the Sui Dynasty unified China, Yazhou was renamed Zhuya County, and a new Linzhen County was established in the southwest of Hainan Island. During the Tang Dynasty, in order to strengthen the control, Hainan Island was divided into five prefectures and 22 counties, and the prefecture and county system has spread all over the coast around the island, and the area under its jurisdiction has been expanded.

In February of the fourth year of Song Taizu's Kaibao, the Song Dynasty general Pan Mei conquered Guangzhou, the Southern Han Dynasty perished, and Hainan Island began to be ruled by the Song Dynasty, with thirteen counties in four prefectures, including Qiongzhou, Danzhou, Zhenzhou and Wan'an. Danzhou is located in the west of the island, Zhenzhou is located in the south of the island, and Wan'an is located in the east of the island, but in the important place in the north of the island, the old political center Yazhou and the new political center Qiongzhou coexist for a long time, in order to unify the administration of the north shore of the island. However, during the Song Dynasty, the administrative structure of Hainan Island changed very frequently.

Kaibao made major adjustments in five years, that is, the so-called 'merging the cliff into Qiong' and 'changing the revitalization into the cliff' - abolishing Yazhou, and changing the three counties of Shecheng, Chengmai and Wenchang to Qiongzhou, ending the situation of the two states on the north and south coasts of Hainan; However, the name "Yazhou", which has been used for hundreds of years, has not been abandoned, but Zhenzhou in the south of the island has been renamed Yazhou, and since then. One cliff and one Qiong, separated from the north and south, 'Qiongya' has become the name of Hainan Island in the future. However, it was clear that the four prefectures of Dan, Zhen, Ya and Wan'an belonged to Qiongzhou, and at the same time, the government of Qiongzhou was moved from Qiongshan County to the current capital city.

In the third year of Taizong Zhidao, the country was designated as 15 roads, and Guangnan Road was divided into Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, and Hainan Island was subordinated to Guangnan West Road after that. In the same year, the highest administrative and supervisory body of the whole island was also set up, the Qiongguan and Transshipment Division, which was concurrently served by the governor of Qiongzhou and commanded the prefectures and counties of the whole island, and the Qiongzhou administrative office was also moved to the current capital city. Qiongzhou is the leader. Governing Danzhou, Yazhou, and Wan'an Prefecture

At the beginning of the sixth year of Shenzong Xining, the construction reform of 'abolishing the state for the army' was carried out, that is, the other three prefectures of Hainan except Qiongzhou were all changed to the army, that is, the abolition of Danzhou for the Changhua Army, Yazhou for the Zhuya Army (later renamed the Jiyang Army), and Wan'an Prefecture for the Wan'an Army. 'Army' is the local administrative division of the Song Dynasty, and there are two kinds, one is the same as the state and the government, and belongs to the road; One is at the same level as the county and belongs to the prefecture and state. The three armies of Hainan are clearly the latter. The transformation of the three states into an army undoubtedly clarifies the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels. It can be said to be in the same vein as the early Song Dynasty's "merging into Qiong".

The most earth-shattering move was in the first year of Daguan, Huizong decreed the establishment of 'Zhenzhou' in the hinterland of Limu Mountain in central Hainan, and set up the Governor's Office, and later promoted Zhenzhou to the Jing Navy, and moved the Qiongguan pacification Division to Zhenzhou, and pacified the governor of Zhenzhou with Qiongguan and Qiongguan. It made Zhenju the political and military center of the whole island. However, the Zhenzhou and the Governor's Mansion were abolished in less than four years, and the dominant position of Qiongzhou was restored, and Qiongzhou was promoted to the Jing Navy.

In the sixth year of Gaozong Shaoxing, the three armies of Changhua, Wan'an, and Jiyang were simply abolished as Yilun County, Wanning County, and Ningyuan County, and the two-level management system of Qiongzhou County was implemented. However, due to Hainan's backward transportation conditions and the uneven development of various regions at that time, this management system was difficult to sustain, so only seven years later, the establishment of various armies was resumed again. It can be seen that although the administrative structure of Hainan Island changed very frequently during this period, one of the points that ran through it was to establish and strengthen the status of Qiongzhou as the administrative center, that is, to respect Qiongzhou alone......

"Oh, I see!" Zhao Yu suddenly said when he heard this.

"What has Your Highness realized?" Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and asked.

"Listening to the two gentlemen say this, I think the battle with the Tartars will inevitably be in Qiongzhou." Zhao Yu said that what he was thinking about just now was that he had planned the future of Haikou in Guangzhou, but he also knew that it would be a picture cake for a long time, but the old man did not object, but the reason for supporting it was that defending Hainan must defend Qiongzhou. And the reason is not only that it is the closest to the mainland, but also because Qiongzhou is the head of all states, and capturing it is equivalent to taking the capital of a country, thus forcing all places to submit.

"Your Highness is really smart and can compare with this and the other." Ying Jieyan smiled very gratefully.

"Then doesn't His Highness have an answer to what he thinks." Deng Guangjian also smiled, and Zhao Yu found that he looked good when he smiled, and he was a middle-aged handsome guy.

"What Mr. means is that the current focus of the Shuaifu's business is still on Qiongzhou, where it is gathering heavy troops to prepare for war." Zhao Yu said.

"Yes, if the enemy attacks Qiongzhou, it will come from the sea, and Qiongzhou is off the coast, and it is the capital, so the enemy will try his best to take it in a battle." Ying Jieyan said.

"What Mr. said is good, but I am still worried about internal unrest, and I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos during the war, so that the enemy will be attacked on the back." Zhao Yu knew that the concentration of troops in one place would inevitably lead to weakness in other regions.

"It is not impossible for His Highness to be worried, and the island's various liks are rebellious and impermanent. After the southern invasion of Mongolia, after the Hokkien people crossed the sea and settled in Qiongzhou, they reclaimed the land, established villages, and gradually expanded to the mountains, competing with the slang people for land, and the contradictions became increasingly fierce. In the hinterland of the mountains, there are still people who do not obey Wang Hua, and they often go down the mountain to rob the villages and passers-by, so that the post roads are deserted, and the land routes are different, which is indeed a hidden worry. Ying Jieyan said with a solemn face, "I have taken the slang people in Qiongzhou as the most appeasement, and the familiar slang who have been attached to it as the local officials, and I have been ordered to guard the choke point, calm the place, convey the decree, and collect taxes. However, since the first dynasty, officials were afraid of the sinister nature of Qiongzhou, and most of them did not go to their posts, so that the local area was gradually erosive, the armament was not competitive, the local officials sat large, and the government decrees were not passed. ”

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said. Lao Li'er said that the family is uneasy and will recruit foreign thieves. Stabilizing the place is just as important as defending against the enemy, and only by having no worries can you face the enemy with peace of mind...... (To be continued.) )
