Chapter 690: Finale
In the tenth year of Guangxi, in the spring and March, the Han Emperor Liu Chong was in power, and the first thing he did when he came to power was to establish his marquis Fu Wannu and Yangdu Hou Fuquan sister Fu Shou, and then announced the next task of the empire.
Since six years ago, after Fude took half of the Western Regions and was recalled to the Central Plains by Fuquan, who was a hussar general at the time and was in charge of the court, the main attack task of the Western Regions fell on the remaining generals such as Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.
As for why the two were chosen, in addition to Wang Sheath and Duan Xuan, who took the initiative to ask for help, Fu Quan chose them in order to thank Wang Sheath for his hard work for many years and Duan Cheng's help to him.
Of course, Wang Sheath did not mention it, and used Duan Xuan to govern the Western Regions, in addition to the relationship between Duan Xuan, there was also the reason why Duan Xuan's ancestor, Duan Huizong, a famous minister during the former Han Yuan Emperor.
Duan Huizong served as the protector of the Western Regions twice, and sent Wusun four times to the Yuan Yan of the Han Dynasty for three years, and died in office at the age of seventy-five, which can be said to have been spent half of his life on the land of the Western Regions. During Duan Huizong's envoy to Wusun, when Wusun had many civil strife, he represented the Han court to quell the rebellion and establish a new monarch, which had a lot of prestige in the Western Regions, especially in Wusun.
Now, Fuquan sent Duan Xuan to join the Western Regions, and it is not without the intention of using the prestige of his ancestors to make some countries in the Western Regions submit, and Wusun, as a great power in the Western Regions, he also has the intention of letting Duan Xuan go to the Western Regions and disintegrate Wusun.
In the following three years, the Han army governed the Western Regions in a military management manner on the one hand, and on the other hand, it continued to send troops to the west. During this period, the Han Dynasty successively sent 20,000 troops to the Western Regions from all over the Central Plains, and also immigrated the families of the army, as well as the powerful people and criminals who were relocated for crimes, and at the same time used the wealth of the Silk Road in the Western Regions as a bait to call on the people of the Central Plains to immigrate to the Western Regions.
This move really made many people who did not know the truth of the Western Regions, and had heard that the legend made the former Han rich and rich in a short period of time, and the people who could compete with the Xiongnu for hegemony were fooled, and voluntarily signed up to immigrate to the Western Regions with the government.
Most of them are hard-working people who live in poverty, barely living in the Han Dynasty, the land of the Central Plains, with the prosperity of the Han Dynasty so far, can no longer accommodate so many people to survive, and life forces them to find a way out where it is possible to continue to survive.
Otherwise, once the population reaches the peak of this land, when the gap between the rich and the poor reaches a certain amount, as long as the people who are interested in it are slightly intensified, or even do not need to intensify, it may be just a small contradiction and friction between the government and the people, and there may be a chain effect, triggering a chaos that will plague the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty.
However, whether it is conquest or immigration, it is far from enough for the Han to effectively control the Western Regions and completely integrate the Western Regions into the Han Dynasty, after all, the Western Regions are vast, and the Han army does not have the help of those surrendered servant troops, and it may not even be enough to conquer the army to stay in the occupied cities in the Western Regions one by one, not to mention the more than 200,000 people who have immigrated from Fuquan by various means, which seems to be a lot, but once they are dispersed to the occupied areas, they will immediately become insignificant.
Therefore, relying on these long-term means alone will definitely not be able to stabilize the expansion situation of the Han Dynasty for a while, so Fu Quan feels that it is necessary to use extraordinary means to stabilize the current situation, and this extraordinary means is actually when the Han army went to the Western Regions when the Han army went to the Western Regions, Fu Quan secretly ordered Fu De to make previous preparations, that is, cultural brainwashing.
In this world, what is the most terrible thing is cultural commonality, of course, this is good, and if it is ugly, it is cultural brainwashing.
In later generations, the Celestial Empire vigorously advocated the great integration of nationalities, and it was not through this cultural commonality that many Han people forgot the pain inflicted on the Han people in the Central Plains by other races?
Qing court dramas are prevalent, touting the pseudo-Yuan and pseudo-Qing dynasties, which even their own monarchs only recognize them as the lord of Yidi, not the lord of the Central Plains, and the rhetoric of national integration is popular.
Now, Fuquan is using the same principle, he first ordered the Han army to carry out the destruction of the Western Regions culture, and then planned to send a group of Central Plains cultural people into the Western Regions as officials, in various places to promote the Central Plains education, must in the shortest possible time, so that all ethnic groups in the Western Regions can only communicate in Chinese, practice writing Chinese characters on weekdays, and wear clothes based on Han clothes, so that cultural identity is compulsory.
If someone dares to resist, then use the sword to force them to bow their heads, so that as long as they ensure the appearance of a few years, they can make the Western Regions stable in the shortest possible time, so that after one or two generations, the people of the Western Regions naturally only remember that they are Han people, not aliens from the Western Regions.
In fact, such a compulsory cultural identity, Fuquan in the past years to conquer the northern Xinjiang, the establishment of the Saibei Changshi Mansion, has been done, but the Han army at that time, did not carry out the Western Regions such a complete regional cultural extinction, the specific reason, naturally is the Hu people on the grassland, although there is a certain culture, writing, clothing, but compared with the prosperous culture of the Western Regions, it is still far behind, after all, the grassland Hu culture is insufficient, and there are many people who learn the culture of the Central Plains, and in the Western Regions, unless it is diplomacy with the Central Plains or smugglers of goods, will take the initiative to learn the Han culture, and the others, after being blocked in the Western Regions, will be willing to learn the Central Plains culture, but there are very few.
The reason for this is naturally that since the former Han Dynasty, the prosperous Silk Road has not only brought prosperity in trade, but also cultural progress. After all, the country has money and fights from time to time, so it naturally improves its cultural knowledge, which greatly increases the national consciousness of the countries in the Western Regions, which is extremely unfavorable to the Han Dynasty's rule over the Western Regions.
Therefore, when Fuquan ordered the Han army to attack the Western Regions, it was best to destroy the culture of the Western Regions, and it was best not to even see a single text or a costume with obvious foreign patterns, so as to destroy the cultural consciousness of the Western Regions to the greatest extent.
After that, Fuquan played a reward for the previous meritorious soldiers, and successively sealed several marquis states in the Western Regions, such as Dong Zhuo as the Marquis of Dingxi, the feudal state for the original Xiaowan country occupied by him, Cao Cao as the Marquis of Pingxi, the feudal state in the territory of the original and late kingdoms he occupied, and Wang Weidong, who performed well in pacifying the countries in the Western Regions, was named the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the fief was near Gaochang City in the Cheshi Kingdom.
The reason for doing this is also very simple, naturally it is to let these people move their family forces to the Western Regions, so as to help the Han Dynasty stabilize the foundation of rule to the greatest extent. Of course, not only that, Fu Quan is also ready to suggest to the imperial court in the future that the fiefs of the clan surnamed Liu and the domestic princes will all be transferred outside the territory little by little in the past, and a large number of fiefs can be given to them, so that they can use their own power to develop and build rapidly.
Even when Liu Xie was feudal and the country was sealed, Fu Quan was ready to suggest that the emperor let him be a model for the clan, and he would be outside the territory, believing that with the emperor's brother taking the lead, even if someone objected, it was not good to say much. Of course, they didn't pay either, although most of the extraterritorial fiefdoms were undeveloped land, which was not good for them in the early days, but once it was developed, the Han court gave them a lot of land, and in the long run, these people would make a steady profit.
The reason why these people are allowed to build outside the territory is also very simple, compared to the Han Dynasty court to spend manpower and material resources to build, there is no doubt that these noble princes who have accumulated a lot of wealth to build better, after all, the Han court has too many places to use money, how can they only care about this place, and those noble princes who hide countless wealth in their homes, their wealth is also hidden, it is better to take it out for the development of the country's regions, and contribute to the development of the country.
This transfer of the feudal state is only one side, on the other hand, Fuquan is to send local officials to the Western Regions, and strive for every place, there are capable officials who can educate the place on weekdays and can face mobile soldiers in case of trouble.
As for where these capable officials come from, it is also very simple, then they are examined, and at that time, in order to compete for the right to tax salt and iron, Fuquan proposed to take the officials, which obviously enriched the basic talents of the Han Dynasty at once.
Later, with the development of the Western Regions, there was a lack of a large number of grassroots officials, so Fuquan took this opportunity to compete for the appointment and dismissal of local officials who had been in the hands of the central court in the hands of the former Han Dynasty from the hands of the governors of various prefectures and counties. Even, Fu Quan also proposed that "the prime minister must start from the state and county, and the fierce general must be sent from the army", which is from "Han Feizi Xianxue", and is ready to constantly challenge the reform of the Han who decided everything by his background.
Those who participated in the examination of the poor people, after passing the basic assessment of the Han on literacy, arithmetic and the outline of the scriptures, they have the qualifications to be officials, of course, this kind of assessment, it is not too difficult, in Fu Quan's opinion, those who can seriously study local private schools for a few years can deal with it.
After that, after an interview with the Hussar General's Palace, they could be assigned to various places, so as to ensure the support of these people for Fuquan's government, and on the other hand, to improve the central court represented by Fuquan and the centralized rule of the localities.
The inclusion of the Western Regions in the territory of the Han Dynasty was fully opened, and in the past three years, with Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, the two murderous demon kings, leading the Han army all the way to the west, the Western Regions were finally all owned by the Han Dynasty.
Along the way, the Han army suppressed all those who encountered stubborn resistance, which made many of the original rebels submit, including Jingjue, Ronglu and other small countries to surrender. Later, Wusun, a large country in the Western Regions, was divided, and the Muhan people in its country secretly contacted Duan Xuan, and led the troops to surrender on the grounds that Muhan and Duan Huizong were grateful for their support for Wusun Sheji.
For these surrendered and dedicated, Fuquan is given preferential treatment, however, let them continue to stay in the Western Regions, it is obviously impossible, according to the meaning of Fuquan, the country descended to the king and the marquis, and the fief was divided into the Saibei Changshi Mansion to establish a feudal state, but all the national clans moved to Luoyang and Chang'an, preferential placement, during which they were forced to learn the etiquette of the Han family, and the Han officials were assessed correctly before they could go to the country.
As for how long this assessment is correct, it depends on Fuquan's intentions, anyway, Fuquan doesn't mind letting their generation die in the Central Plains, and their original nationals, after receiving the education of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions for three years, confirmed that they have no objection, and then they decide to stay, I believe that with these three years, these people in the Western Regions will successfully become the inheritors of Han culture.
The successful conquest of the Western Regions opened a period of upsurge of territory expansion for the Han Dynasty, especially the so-called Zhuxia map that Fuquan took out of nowhere one day, with seven continents, which made many generals who were promoted to the marquis boil because of the conquest of the Western Regions, and they all asked for help to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty.
The newly powerful emperor Liu Chong, who also wanted to establish meritorious deeds and consolidate his prestige, immediately agreed, and Fuquan also played at this time, thinking that the generals did not know water conservancy, and were willing to resign from the post of hussar general and be a general in the ocean.
The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, I don't know why Fuquan gave up power, Liu Chong repeatedly retained, did not change Fuquan's original intention, and agreed at the moment.
……
In the vast sea, on the big ship used by the Han Maritime Silk Road, Fu Quan looked at the sea in military uniform, full of emotions.
"This is the only way to do it...... Fu Quan thought: "What will happen to the world in the future, there will be descendants to comment on it......"
The reason why Fuquan chose to delegate power was also because Fuquan wanted to protect himself, or in other words, he didn't want the Han to fall into the internal and external struggle between his relatives and the suspicion of imperial power.
After all, he is just a relative, and the little emperor is already old, if he continues to be in charge of the government, although the emperor will be happy to expand the territory, but after all, he will bury the bane of eradicating Fuquan, a relative.
Although it is said that with the power of Fuquan, he is not afraid of imperial power, but this does not mean that he is not afraid, and the efforts of the Han family to conquer Siyi in his life are in vain.
If Fuquan and the emperor seize power, the world will be in chaos, and those forces that have been dormant will turn against the water, I am afraid that the Western Regions, the powerful clan he migrated, will be the first to destroy the results of his conquest.
Therefore, instead of this, it is better for him to let go as soon as possible, between the right and the Han people's conquest of the Quartet, he chooses the latter, after all, China is vast and rich, and history has proved that there can be no dynasty of ten thousand generations, even if he becomes the emperor, he will not know that he will be corrupted by the descendants of the future, it is better to let the Han conquer the world, in this way, even if the dynasty is destroyed, there will be no crisis of extinction.
Moreover, the little emperor Liu Chong, with his years of teaching, and the bunch of conquest and construction ideas that Fuquan seriously considered providing, believed that as long as he was not stupid and came completely according to his own plan, there was no need for him to participate.
……
In the twelfth year of Guangxi, the emperor changed the title of Yangdu Marquis Fuquan, as the Marquis of Ying, and the fief was the Yingzhou he found, and changed the title of his brother Liu Xie as the Marquis of Guixi, and the fief was the territory of Dawan in the Western Regions ruled by the Han Dynasty......
When the Han Dynasty conquered the Quartet, with the changes in the situation, it finally implemented the parallel ruling method of the feudal state and the capital protectorate, and within the Great Wall, it was the mainland composed of thirteen states.
Outside the Great Wall, it is ruled by the capital protectorate and the feudal state, the capital is dominated by civil officials and military generals, and the feudal country is dominated by the Liu clan relatives and heroes of the opposite sex.
(End of book)
Writing this, Izumi finally took a breath!
Many people in this book say that I can continue to write something, but I really can't hold on, and to be honest, I have collected the Western Regions, and the other conquests and expansions are just water.
A book, two million words is actually about the same, of course you can write more if you have good grades, if you don't have good grades, it's best to end up like this.
In general, Quanshi's attempt to do so was a failure, either because the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty were written badly, or because the subject matter was not pleasing to the readers.
To be honest, I just wanted to show the most real world, and even later fell into a link of dropping the book bag, and went through the common problem of many newcomers.
Ay...... The past is full of pain, and it is all tears when I talk about it...... Don't mention it!
Let's talk about the new book, it has been sent, and friends who have read the first few chapters should add it, the title of the book is "Uncle Good in the Late Ming Dynasty"!
I hope that friends who haven't added it will also add it, but for the sake of my two-million-word character guarantee, vote for your precious recommendation!
As for why I wrote about my relatives again, the reason is very simple, I am on the bar, and there are very few people who write about relatives in the Ming Dynasty, since this is the case, I have experience in this area, so naturally I finally decided on this subject!
Not much nonsense, I believe that you who have seen too much of the Ming Dynasty's official imperial examination and small soldiers farming for hegemony should also change your taste, and under the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty's relatives who do not interfere in politics, witness the story of a foreign relative rising to the Ming Dynasty and saving the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty!
Of course, as for some people's objections to whether the Ming Dynasty's relatives could rise, in fact, the Ming Dynasty has already given the answer.
When Yingzong was restored, Sun's relatives actually rose, but later they died by themselves, and there were few political talents, and they were killed after a few years without power.
