Chapter 106: Taibo Zhongyong (Ask for Collection)
Three months later, Liu Zhang summoned everyone to discuss the matter and announced the relocation of the ...... Most of the former Yizhou officials were opposed, and most of their roots and family businesses were in Fuxian, and once they moved, their power would be greatly weakened (historically, Song Taizu's plan to move the capital to Luoyang and Chang'an again was because the relocation of the capital affected the interests of officials in the court, and was eventually opposed by courtiers including his brother Song Taizong, and it was not surprising that Liu Zhang's relocation was resisted by Yizhou officials).
Xun Yu and other foreign forces expressed their full support, the reason is the same as Liu Zhang, Fuxian County is limited by geography, development difficulties, if you want to develop Dayi Prefecture, you must move to a broader area conducive to development, of course, this is also more or less related to their interests in Fuxian County. However, there are also differences among those who agree with the relocation of the capital, and the main disagreement is due to whether the location of the Xinzhi Office is better in Chengdu or Nanzheng, and the side that proposes to move to Chengdu believes that Chengdu is flat and in the center of Yizhou, and the news is very convenient to disseminate, and it is easy to control the entire Yizhou; The side that moved to Nanzheng believed that the great enemy of Yizhou in the future was Dong Zhuo, and if the main officials of Yizhou stayed in Chengdu, they would be thousands of miles away from the front line, and there would be steep mountains and rivers to block it, and it would be inconvenient to exchange information, which would not be conducive to commanding the war against Dong Zhuo and the war that would dominate the world thereafter. Liu Zhang believed that if Nanzheng was relocated, the prefecture would be isolated from Yizhou, and that Nanzheng was too close to the front line and could be attacked by Dong Zhuo at any time, which was not conducive to the steady development of Yizhou. Liu Zhang behaved like his decisive side, announced the relocation of Chengdu, and strongly stated that those who did not want to go to Chengdu resigned from their positions and stayed in Fuxian County for retirement. As soon as the order came out, no one was willing to resign and hold on to Fuxian if he didn't let go, weaken it, if he stayed in Fuxian, it would not be weakened, but completely lost power, and with the character of this young lord, as long as he continued to quarrel and rebel, I am afraid that he would not have to resign, but be dismissed from his post and even convicted.
Yizhou once again fell into chaos, and the vigorous relocation operation lasted for more than four months, and finally came to an end, and Liu Zhang moved into the newly built state pastoral mansion.
When Yizhou returned to calm, another piece of news sparked a wave, Liu Fan and Liu Yi were appointed as Nanzhong Taishou and Du Wei respectively, this appointment is undoubtedly Liu Zhang's desire to sit firmly in the position of state pastor and belittle his brother in the eyes of the outside world. In fact, the real situation is not the case, Liu Zhang has a deep affection for the three brothers, he once proposed to let the three of them take important positions, Liu Mao refused on the grounds of poor health (Zhang Zhongjing has been invited to Yizhou by Xu Chu, after his diagnosis and treatment, Liu Mao's body is still not optimistic, after all, Zhang Zhongjing is not a god, and he has no ability to live dead flesh and bones), Liu Fan and Liu Yi had a deep talk with Liu Zhang. The two knew that Liu Zhang had the heart of hegemony, if they wanted to magnify the Liu family and revitalize the Han Dynasty, the two of them felt that their talents were insufficient, and Liu Zhang needed to take on the heavy responsibility, in order to lose this goal, Liu Zhang must not have people around him who might affect his status, so they proposed to avoid Nanzhong together and operate the rear for it (at a previous meeting, Liu Zhang proposed that the outside must first be settled inside, and the barbarians in Nanzhong, Qiqi and other places gathered, and the barbarians were fierce, unruly and difficult to train, and the sense of belonging to the Han family was not strong. And Liu Zhang, the Taishou of Qiqi County, has appointed the newly invested Zhuge Jin as the Taishou, but Nanzhong County Taishou couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while), Liu Zhang was deeply moved, but he didn't want the two brothers to suffer in Nanzhong, after all, Nanzhong is now full of obstacles and poisonous insects. However, the two of them had made up their minds, Liu Zhang had to agree to their request, considering the hidden danger of the barbarians in Nanzhong, for the sake of their safety, Liu Zhang deliberately transferred 10,000 people from the Dongzhou army, led by Yan Yan, and went to Nanzhong with them. Before leaving, Liu Zhang clearly ordered Yan Yan that the task of his troops was not to fight the rebellion of the local barbarians, but to ensure the safety of Liu Fan and Liu Li at all times, and if either of the two was harmed, Yan Yan would have no need to return to Chengdu!
When Liu Fan and Liu Wei left, Liu Zhang and Liu Mao led Yizhou Wenwu to see off the two, and they sent them out for thirty miles and still had no intention of turning back. Liu Fan and Liu Li persuaded each other again and again, and Liu Zhang took into account Liu Mao's physical reasons, so he stopped the endless send-off.
Xun Yu looked at Liu Fan and Liu Li, who were drifting away, and sighed: "The eldest son, the second son, is really Taibo, Zhongyong is resurrected!" ”
Of course, Liu Zhang knows the story of Taibo and Zhongyong, Taibo, the first monarch of Wu State, the eldest son of Gu Gong, the leader of the Qishan Zhou tribe at the end of the Shang Dynasty; Zhong Yong, the second son of Gu Gong's father. Gu Gong's father wanted to pass on the throne of Ji Li, and then Ji Li passed on to Ji Li's son Chang (the famous King Wen of Zhou), Tai Bo and Zhong Yong voluntarily left to Jingman to Gou Wu in order to let the third brother Ji Li take over the throne smoothly, and finally achieved King Wen of Zhou and the 800-year-old society of the Zhou family.
Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest brother and second brother are comparable to Taibo and Zhongyong, but I am not as good as Ji Li......"
Xun Yu hurriedly said: "The lord does not have to be humble, the lord is proficient in everything and the wisdom is by no means under the Ji calendar, and the Ji calendar has taken the throne and created the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, and my Han will also be revitalized in the hands ......of the son."
"I hope I won't disappoint you!" Liu Zhang sighed and looked into the distance, until Liu Fan and Liu Mao disappeared between heaven and earth, and then returned to Chengdu with interest.
After Liu Zhang returned to Chengdu, he went to visit his mother with his third brother. The death of his father made Liu very sad, and his body became weaker and weaker, but fortunately, Liu Zhang left Zhang Zhongjing behind, and there was a medical saint to dispense medicine, and Liu's body was not in danger. But today the two sons went to the poor mountains and bad waters in Nanzhong, and they don't know when they will be able to meet, which makes the elderly Liu doubly sad. Seeing this, Liu Zhang and the third brother Liu Mao talked with their mother all day long, which made their mother's mood slightly better.
The next day, Liu Zhang summoned a group of confidants to discuss the issue, and the topic was still the barbarian issue that he was most concerned about.
Barbarian is a big concept, distributed in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places in later generations, mainly divided into Baiyue, Baipu, Bashu three major systems, southwest China ethnic minorities mostly evolved from the southern barbarians. The environment in which the barbarians live is not yet the order of later generations, and they forget to return to the water towns and Dianchi Waterfalls in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time their hometown is almost still in a primitive society, the environment is sinister, the property is scarce, and life is very difficult. In order to cope with the sinister environment, they must unite together, and in order to survive, they ask for all resources, from hostile tribes, from those who claim to be noble Han people, so their relationship with people outside the tribe and family is very tense, which also causes the barbarians to be more xenophobic. In order to suppress and control the barbarians, they often built a blockade between themselves and the barbarians to prevent iron, salt, and grain from entering the barbarians' territory.
The barbarians often struggled on the line of life and death, in order to survive, when the central dynasty was strong and stable, they often called the ministers and paid tribute, in exchange for the opening of border trade, and it was easy to obtain the necessities of survival (the trade was often very unfair, in order to show the nobility of the Han people, the Han people often raised the price of the goods they sold several times, and the purchase of barbarian products was very cheap); When the Central Dynasty fell into turmoil, they often armed plundered the Han Chinese, and the contradictions between the two sides lasted for thousands of years, and if there were no accidents, the end would last for nearly two thousand years, until the founding of New China did not truly resolve the national contradictions.
Liu Zhang has already learned that there are about 1.5 million barbarians in Yizhou, because many barbarians live in villages deep in the mountains and old forests, and their villages are often forbidden for Han people to enter, so it is impossible to get a detailed number. You must know that the total population of Yizhou is only more than 7.2 million (the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not affect Yizhou, but many refugees poured into Yizhou during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the population of Yizhou at this time was more than 100,000 before the Yellow Turban Rebellion). If Liu Zhang's focus on foreign warfare was accompanied by a sudden rebellion of the barbarians, the foundation of Yizhou would face great danger, and Liu Zhang absolutely did not want to see such a situation happen.
