Chapter 517: Return to Shuzhong and return everything

Since Fuquan finished the strategy of Tuntian immigration in the court, in addition to receiving those relatives and friends who came to celebrate with his uncle Fuwan in Beijing, he also dealt with other trivial matters.

Five days later, news came from the palace that Emperor Liu Hong finally decided to agree to Fuquan Tuntian's strategy of immigration.

Liu Hong ordered to expand the territory by 3,000 li outside the three prefectures of You, Merge and Liang, imitate the example of the long history of the Western Regions, set up the long history of the north, and merge it under the jurisdiction of the Prefecture Thorn History Department. At the same time, in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a surrendered city for the governor of Saibei, so that the northern emperor Fu Song served as the governor of Saibei.

At the same time, Liu Hong also ordered all states and counties in the world to call on the people who are willing to go out of the Saitun field to provide their own funds and go to reclaim the land with the "inheritance" of the state and county where they are located. After arriving in Saiwai, they borrowed cattle, horses, seeds, women, farm tools and other things from the imperial court, and then produced them every year with acres of cattle and horses, and the local officials measured the prices, so that they bought and sold them to pay the taxes prescribed by the imperial court, and after paying the taxes for ten years, the land they planted was privately owned.

At the same time, he also ordered the soldiers and horses of the two states that are still on the grassland, and each moved half of the soldiers and horses, led by the Western Regions Changshi Huangfu Song, to guard the grassland, to shake the border, and at the same time restrain those who do not obey the king, and move all inward to fill the three border states with a relatively small population of You, Bing and Liang, which have a relatively small population of the Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Song was moved to the north before being too guarded, but Liu Hong's squire, it can be said that because of the relationship between his uncle Huangfu Gui, he was extremely valued by Liu Hong. It is precisely because of this that in the northern border county of Beidi, which is often invaded by the Xianbei, Qiang and other Hu people, Liu Hong specially chose Huangfu Song as the Taishou of the Beidi, hoping to use his talents to continue to guard the border for the Han Dynasty.

This time, the northern part of the long history was initially established, and the status of the northern land that was originally to defend the outside of the fortress was greatly reduced, and it stands to reason that as long as capable officials are dispatched to deter the Qiang people in the territory, the northern land can be stabilized. Therefore, Liu Hong, who didn't want to be overkill, asked Huangfu Song, a cronie with good military talents, to use it as an experimental specimen for the long history of Saibei and explore Tuntian for the Han Dynasty.

In this will, there are actually two points in Fuquan, which Fuquan is very dissatisfied with, because this is really a big discount compared to the strategy he originally proposed.

The first point is that from the very beginning, this will was destined to make many cowardly homesick people retreat. Since the call is for the landless people, don't expect how many people in those broken houses will have the courage to go outside, first of all, I am afraid that no one will be able to collect their own travel expenses.

Of course, Fuquan is beyond reproach for this, not long after the end of the Fang Jin War, I am afraid that the money bag of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Hong's West Mansion has long been in deficit, and it is already the biggest concession for Liu Hong, the greedy emperor, to be able to resist not selling those livestock women as property slaves and maids to the world.

It is estimated that if Liu Hong hadn't seen that the grassland was empty now, as long as he could immigrate, he would have been able to expand the temptation of at least thousands of miles for the Han Dynasty in an instant, otherwise, he would definitely not have given this order.

However, although in this way, there will be fewer people who can be ruthless to go outside, but on the other hand, it is not a bad thing. After all, those who are willing to go to the pretense of loan sharking, or use various other means to gather money and get out of the Saitun field, must be people with big hearts and great perseverance, which can greatly avoid the probability of those people who know the poverty outside the Sai Tuntian, so that there is a probability that the people will run away after half of the work.

Fu Quan believed that as long as he could see that he had endured hardship for ten years, he would be able to get rid of his poor people, and he would never care that he had no money to borrow usury, or sell his property everywhere. Can't help but remind him of the coming of the future generations to the east, after all, there are always some people who are not satisfied with the status quo of life, they will not mind these difficulties, if they can't even overcome this difficulty, they don't have to participate in Tuntian at all, anyway, now there are many Han people, there will always be people who go to the outside of the Saiwai.

As for the second point, it is to forcibly migrate the Hu people outside the Saiwai into the three sides of the secluded, merged, and cool, after all, these three states and the grassland are adjacent to each other, and there are many Hu people attached to their territory.

I am even afraid that there will be many barbarians, in order to escape the sanctions of the Han Dynasty, they abandoned their tribes, and directly joined the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Qiang and other tribes in the three borders to seek refuge.

Knowing this, Fu Quan would rather brave the criticism of everyone in the world and kill all the aliens outside the Saiwai who did not obey the king, using his old method to be higher than the wheel. Even if you can't kill them, you have to drive those Hu people to other places to fend for themselves, and you can't change the direction like this to make those barbarian Hu people refuse to assimilate, after all, this is the way to disaster.

Thinking about it, the reason why Liu Hong did this, in addition to seeing that he was now attached to the Hu and his respectful attitude towards the Han family, the remaining reason was the same as the decree to let the landless people prepare their own funds, and the West Mansion was probably empty for a long time, and there was no money to send those Hu people to the southern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty to assimilate.

It's a pity that neither the emperor Liu Hong nor the hundred officials and ministers of the Han Dynasty understand how terrible it is to raise those Hu people in the border and let them continue to live according to their previous cultural customs.

After another two days, under the service of Murong Shuisu, Fu Quan changed into a white suit and went to the mansion of the late Taiwei Duan Cheng, where to go because today is the day for the Duan clan to pay tribute to Duan Cheng.

As for Murong Shuisu, now she is Fuquan's concubine, since Fuquan saved his father Murong Ba's life, this woman can be said to be obedient to him, and the openness of the grassland woman also allows him to unlock a lot of postures, which makes Fuquan infatuated.

Of course, Murong Ba's way to Fuquan was also arranged, and after Liu Hong's decree, Fuquan wrote a letter to Zhao Bao, so that his old boss would take Murong Ba as a typical example of naturalized Hu people, and believed that Murong Ba was the seniority of the Xianbei nobles during the Tanshihuai period, which could well appease those Xianbei Hu people who were bent on naturalization.

Fu Quan believes that Zhao Bao, as the assassin of Bingzhou, is now in charge of the long history of Saibei, and he will definitely see the value of Murong Ba, and he mentioned the matter of himself and Murong Shuisu in the letter, I believe that Zhao Bao will understand. As for Murong Ba, Fu Quan thought that now Xianbei is dead, and the other party is a grassland person, no matter how loyal he is, he should understand the current situation, he should respect the strong Han Dynasty, and the Han Emperor should be the mainstay, they will never be ambiguous, and the speed of recognizing the father of the Han Dynasty will definitely not be bad.

Although Fu Wan and Liu Hua didn't like that Fu Quan had found such a wife as a concubine outside the Saiwai, they thought that he should have been married a long time ago, but he had never been married, but he did not accuse.

However, Liu Hua later privately warned Fu Quan that he should accept more girls at will, but he was not allowed to meet other girls of the noble family, which made Fu Quan puzzled, and intuitively, he felt that his aunt was afraid that he wanted to use his marriage to do something unexpected, but he never guessed.

As the main general of Duan Cheng's last battle before his death, or he took the initiative to ask for Fu Quan's benefactor to let Fu Quan escape, Fu Quan and Duan Cheng can be said to be both teachers and friends, so when they go to Duan Mansion to hang Duan Cheng, Fu Quan must and must go, otherwise he will definitely be accused and scolded to death by the world.

Duan Cheng, in this era, in the eyes of people, the famous generals of the Han Dynasty who are complicated and difficult to understand are actually Fu Quan himself, if you put aside the factors of Duan Cheng's later defection to the Fu family and the Song family's relatives, he is also a little emotionally complicated.

In terms of merit, Duan Cheng's military exploits were the pride of the late Han Dynasty at that time, and it was difficult for anyone in the Three Kingdoms in later generations to compare with him, even Wei Wu and Cao Cao were difficult to compare, and it was too prominent to compare with Duan Cheng's military exploits during his lifetime.

But if you talk about character, it is indeed debatable, after all, Duan Cheng is an out-and-out opportunist in politics, just like the wall-riding faction, whoever can give him fame and fortune will take refuge in whomever he wants. This point, in fact, is beyond reproach, after all, any qualified politician will choose to do this, but the most critical and undesirable thing for him is to choose to take refuge in the eunuchs, and to take refuge in the most evil eunuchs in the eyes of the Great Han people.

Not surprisingly, after making an appointment with the generals under his command, the scene in front of Duan's Mansion was a little bleak, even with the merits of this expedition to Xianbei, Emperor Liu Hong gave a lot of wills to comfort Duan Cheng, and even gave Duan Cheng's descendants official positions, but it still couldn't change the attitude of the foreign courtiers towards Duan Cheng.

Even though Fuquan was mentally prepared when he came, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. This is a famous general who has fought for the Han Kingdom all his life, he just wants more fame and fortune, but unlike many scholars, he chose their political enemies as a reliance, but after his death, even though the emperor flaunted his honor, but still did not get a Taiwei After his death, the scene of the protégé running and welcoming the old man in front of the door is really sad, and he deserves better treatment.

Not to mention anything else, with Duan Cheng's merits, he should be the pride of the people of Liangzhou, but when Fuquan entered the mansion, he didn't see many scholars from Liangzhou coming to mourn.

Only those Liangzhou generals who came to Luoyang with Fuquan had a look of envy and fascination on their faces, and they mourned for Duan Cheng in Duan's mansion. And among these generals, some people like Pang De and Yang Aruo, who have just been promoted to the rank of Liangzhou Xiaomin, but they have never even seen Duan Cheng before their deaths, Fu Quan saw it, but somehow, he thought of the poem "Every righteous person slaughters dogs, and most of them are scholars", although some of them are not in the situation, but some of the ideas in it are somewhat similar.

The people of Duan Mansion went straight into the mourning hall and found that Zhang Chang was also there, Fu Quan did not speak to him immediately, just nodded slightly, and then under the guidance of the servants of Duan Mansion, he faced Duan Cheng's coffin and shook it deeply.

In fact, there was no body in Duan Cheng's coffin, after all, when Duan Cheng died, but the Xianbei people who lit the fire and attacked the village died together, and when Fuquan buried him, he didn't even find a complete piece of clothing, how could there be a body? In this coffin, there is a golden jade robe given to Duan Cheng by Emperor Liu Hong, as well as the long sword used by Duan Cheng that Duan Xuan found in the battlefield at that time, which is actually equivalent to a mound of clothes.

Speaking of which, if Liu Hong hadn't given Duan Cheng a piece of gold and jade clothes, one each of the Zi Palace, the bedchamber, and the yellow intestine, and fifteen coffins hidden outside the fir wood, to show the Han Dynasty's posthumous reward for this famous general, I am afraid that in Luoyang City, Duan Cheng, the old captain, the Marquis of Xinfeng County, I am afraid that the death will not even have a fig leaf, after all, Duan Cheng, a person who values fame and fortune, will not be buried frugally like Huangfu Gui, and if he is thrifty, he will definitely laugh at those who have enemies with him.

After all, in the Han Dynasty, the golden jade clothes were the funeral clothes worn by emperors and high-ranking nobles after their deaths, and their appearance was the same as the shape of the human body. The jade clothes are a symbol of the wearer's status level, the jade clothes of the emperor and some of the close ministers are knotted with gold threads, called "golden jade clothes", this is the highest funeral clothes in the Han Dynasty, people in the Han Dynasty are very superstitious that jade can keep the bones immortal, and the jade is a noble ritual and a symbol of status, and the yellow intestine inscription is an important part of the emperor's mausoleum with the jade clothes, Zi Palace, the bedchamber, and the outer coffin.

After mourning quietly, Fuquan was a little bit more, and then he went out of the mourning hall and chatted with Zhang Chang to pass the time, Zhang Chang is Zhang Huan's second son, although Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng have a lot of entanglements, and there are also grudges, but after all, the deceased is the greatest, not to mention that Duan Cheng is the elder of Zhang Changliangzhou, Duan Cheng also let Zhang Huan go back then, so Zhang Chang also had to come.

After that, after the funeral, Fuquan sent Zhang Huan to Beibi Mountain, where the princes and nobles of Luoyang City would be buried, and then returned.

In the next few days, Fu Quan also began to prepare for leaving Luoyang by himself, and the things were very simple, but they were very cumbersome. For example, introducing Ma Teng to meet Ma Riyan, the current head of the Ma clan of Youfu Feng Maoling, or getting to know the Xiliang Junjie who were fledgling on the battlefield of Xianbei and so on...... After that, Fuquan said goodbye to Liu Hua and went to Shuzhong.

December is already winter, it can really be described as a cold wind like a knife, the knife is piercing, it is undoubtedly a very painful thing to rush outside in such weather, but after all, as a county guard, even after the war, the victory is not long, Fuquan still has to take his subordinates to Ba County.
