Chapter 23 Deployment of Nanzhong
"Your Majesty, the transfer of three thousand guards is very important, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the prime minister!" After stepping back from Xiang Pet, Huang Hao whispered.
"Naturally, I can't hide it from my father, but I don't plan to hide it from my father, today's CD, what is there that my father doesn't know, you and I have today's conversation, maybe it will appear on his bookcase tomorrow." Liu Chan said with a smile.
"Then the prime minister asked, what should Your Majesty do?"
"Just say it, anyway, it won't be long before he finds out the movements of these three thousand people. Besides, in addition to these 3,000 guards, the rest of the CD soldiers and horses are in his hands, and with him, my safety is worry-free, and I can sleep peacefully! Liu Chan said with a blank look.
Kong Ming is a loyal minister, this Liu Chan is currently convinced, and if he wants to rebel, Liu Chan has no way, it is better to let him first, after all, the first emperor Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei went, he Kong Ming has a very high prestige in the army, Liu Chan also needs him to calm the southern chaos, and the northern expedition to Wei.
Moreover, Lao Luo's romance deified Kong Ming's military talent too much, in fact, as far as the official history is concerned, Kong Ming is quite talented in governing the country, and even his ability to govern the country is stronger than that of the army.
In Liu Chan's view, there is basically no big deviation in the current situation of Shu, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you Cao Wei will attack, I will send troops to solve your Cao Wei, then it is not a piece of cake to clean up Yonghong.
As for the Yonghong rebellion, which began in 223 and did not send troops to quell the rebellion until 225, in addition to the fact that Shu Han's own background was consumed too much in the battle of Yiling, and the national strength was not enough, it was more because there was now one person in the south of Shu Han, and that was Lu Kai!
Yonghong rebellion, with Zhu Bao and Gao Ding, is afraid that there are no less than 100,000 people, even if the combat power is not as good as the Zheng army of Shu Han, but it can't stand up to many people, and now that Shu Han has been defeated, morale is low, and there are a lot of things to be dealt with, there is no way to manage Yonghong, Liu Chan will let him live happily for two years first, and when the regime is stable, the soldiers and horses are well prepared, and the elite soldiers are in place, and then it is not too late to clean him up!
And before that, we have to hurry up and let Deng Zhi envoy Wu and form an alliance with Wu, which will also help to quell the Yonghong rebellion.
Because Yonghong rebelled, he actually surrendered to Soochow! How much shame Shu Han has been given by Dongwu, not to mention anything else, the well-known Five Tiger Generals, three of them were folded in the hands of Dongwu. Descend to Wu? Isn't this a slap in the face of Shu Han?
Moreover, Sun Quan, who was wise in his early years and suspicious in his later years, actually agreed to give Yonghong Yongchang the position of Taishou, that Yongchang is the territory of Shu Han, and was actually assigned to the Yonghong rebels by Sun Quan, isn't this ignoring the face of Shu Han!
Fortunately, Lu Kai entered Yongchang early and has been holding on to it, which made Yonghong unable to enter Yongchang City.
Now, Liu Chan's only reliance that can be called a golden finger is his ability to "predict the unknown", what he needs to do is to put useful talents in the most appropriate position, avoid mistakes in policies and appointments, and accumulate the strength of Shu Han little by little, preparing for the Northern Expedition in a few years.
Wu Guo awarded Yonghong Yongchang Taishou, that's good, he Liu Chan awarded Lu Kai as Yongchang Taishou, the commander-in-chief of Yongchang military and government, so he wants to see what other waves this Yonghong can make.
You must know that in the history of the Yonghong Rebellion, Lu Kai at that time was just a five-official Peng in Yongchang County, but he could withstand the pace of the Yonghong Rebellion, although it was a closed resistance, but this was enough, because what Shu Han currently lacked was nothing more than time, people, and food.
Closed-border resistance was nothing more than the best way to control the Yonghong Rebellion at the lowest cost, which was definitely a good strategy at that time.
"Spread my will, promote Lu Kai Yongchang to the post of Taishou, take a holiday, lead Yongchang military and political affairs, and deal with urgent matters by yourself, and report to me afterwards!" Liu Chan raised his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, this Lu Kai is a five-official in Yongchang County, without merit and no merit, and suddenly in a high position, I am afraid that it will disobey the hundred officials!" After thinking about it, Huang Hao quickly said.
"Don't ask, just do it!" Liu Chan said sharply.
For the current His Majesty, Huang Hao is a little unpredictable, first reused Zhang Yi, from a county official directly to Taishou, and now this Lu Kai is faster, directly from the five senses to Taishou, I am afraid that this summoning has arrived, this Lu Kai himself is a little unbelievable.
Five senses, a position in charge of the sacrifice, there is no fixed matter, to put it bluntly, it is just a clerk, and now the commission is too shou, it is simply a promotion from a clerk to a mayor, who can accept it?
"Oh, that's right, the former Yongchang Taishou Wang and his wife were moved to Yizhou Taishou to assist Lu Kai to resist the Yonghong rebels, if Yongchang is lost, they don't have to come back! In addition, he urged Zhang Yi to rush to Yueshan and resist the Gaoding Yi soldiers; ordered the governor of Xu, Li Hui, to be stationed in Pingyi to resist the Yizhou rebels; Ma Zhong, the subordinate governor, led his troops to the northeast of Pingyi, took care of each other with Li Hui, paid close attention to the movements of Zhu Bao's rebels, and must not let them move north! ”
Li Hui, Ma Zhong, Zhang Yi, Lu Kai, Wang Yan, this is a hard barrier in the south of Shu Han, in history, the Nanzhong region has been managed by these people for decades, although Liu Chan has only seen Zhang Yi at present, but Liu Chan firmly believes that these people are people, just imagine, how can the officials who can be loved by the local residents of Nanzhong will be bad?
Moreover, among these five people, three of them have successively served as the governor of the capital of Yu, and have made great contributions to the stability of Shu Han Nanzhong, and what Liu Chan did today is only to let them reach their position one step earlier.
Listening to Liu Chan's boastful talk, Huang Hao was really dumbfounded this time, my God, is this still the previous majesty? Although Huang Hao himself doesn't understand military affairs, judging from the calmness that Liu Chan showed in his military deployment just now, it seems that he really has the momentum of a hegemon!
"Your Majesty, this summoning ......"
"Just tell me to go down, if there is a problem, go directly to the prime minister!" Liu Chan immediately said lightly.
Now that the northern, eastern, and southern parts of Shu Han have been adjusted, Liu Chan must be able to make Shu Han's losses less, after all, Shu can no longer afford it.
You know, during the Three Kingdoms period, the most lacking is people, the Han Dynasty because of the initial household registration management system, in 157 AD, when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty reigned, the national population reached more than 56 million according to statistics, and after the Yellow Turban Uprising and the Three Kingdoms Melee, until the Three Kingdoms situation was established after the Battle of Chibi, the population of the Central Plains was less than 1.5 million.
From more than 56 million to less than 1.5 million, you can imagine how many disasters the people suffered at that time. No wonder Liu Chan's Chinese leader in his previous life once sighed: "The atomic bomb is not as good as Liu Guanzhang's big sword and spear!" ”
And now in 223 years, after the Hanzhong War and the Yiling War, the population of the Central Plains is less than one million! This also indirectly led to the chaos of Wuhu a hundred years later! Although the direct cause of this was the immigration policy of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Liu Chan believed that if you want to talk about the reason, the fundamental reason for the chaos of Wuhu is the lack of population.
At that time, there were five or six million Hu people who invaded the Central Plains, how could the Jin Dynasty resist after the rebellion of the Eight Kings.
If it weren't for Ran Min, a hero forgotten by history, who led the Han Jedi to fight back, how could he expel the Hu people and save the fate of the Han people from being wiped out.
At this time, the population of Shu Han is the least in the Three Kingdoms, and the small population represents a small source of soldiers, and in ancient times, population was an important indicator of national strength! And this is where Liu Chan worries.
