Chapter 565: The Discussion of Governing Shu

p

In the first year of Long An, the battle of Shu went very smoothly.

The good news came to Chang'an one after another, which made Hexi rejoice.

In early November, there was another good news, saying that Huan Zhen followed the example of the famous general Deng Ai and successfully smuggled into the Yinping Trail.

Later, Huan Zhen frightened back the defenders of Jiangyou Pass, ambushed Chen Mingzi halfway, and defrauded Fucheng, which completely sounded the death knell of Xishu.

When the news came that he had fled south and Chengdu had surrendered without a fight, there was jubilation in Hexi.

After taking Shuzhong, Hexi eventually became a strong Qin, and completely gained the upper hand in the struggle for hegemony in the world.

It can be said that as long as Hexi does not make serious strategic mistakes, it is almost certain that it will dominate the world in the future.

This makes Hexi more attractive to talents from all over the world, and it is also more conducive to Hexi to appease some wavering and neutral forces.

In Chang'an, in the partial hall of Weiyang Palace, King Yong was discussing with cabinet members about the governance of Shu.

"The world is not chaotic, Shu is in chaos first, and the world has been governed by Shu."

Originally, this was a sentence in the "Shu Police Record" written by Ouyang Zhigong at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but now it was said by Wei Shuo in advance.

I don't know why, as soon as he received the good news from Shudi, such a sentence popped out of his mouth inexplicably.

Cui Hao, Song Xuan, Liu Muzhi, Wang Zhenxi, etc. were all bright-eyed, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to govern Shu.

Let's not talk about how the history of Shu will evolve in the future, just in terms of history since the Han Dynasty, there are indeed many examples to prove this sentence.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes competed, and Gongsun Shu claimed to be the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty and the leader of Yizhou, and seized the land of Shu.

At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Yan invited himself to be the pastor of Yizhou in order to avoid the chaos of the world.

Later, on the grounds that rice thieves were blocking traffic, he took the initiative to cut off contact with the central government and was semi-independent.

Even Liu Yan privately worked as a public car for more than 1,000 people to be the emperor, becoming the earliest group of separatist forces in the Three Kingdoms era.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, although there was the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" first.

However, the first to cut off the alleged emperor in the territory of the Jin Dynasty was the Cheng Han regime that stood on its own in Shu.

Wei Shuo sat at the top, his eyes swept over the nine cabinet members one by one, and asked everyone for advice on how to govern Shu.

"Now that the chaos in Shu has been calmed, the next step should be to govern Shu first, how to govern specifically? Please feel free to share your opinions. ”

Song Miao smashed his mouth and sighed: "Hmm~ this...... Governing Shu has always been a major problem for those in power! ”

"It's really hard to explain the reason, but the minister thinks that it has something to do with the mixed merger and complex contradictions of the Han Yi in Shuzhong."

"In addition, inconvenient transportation is an important reason why Shu is unstable and difficult to govern."

"Perhaps it is in view of this that it is difficult for the dynasties to directly manage Shudi, and they can only entrust important officials."

"But once the person entrusted is not human, not only can it not complete the important task of governing Shu, but it will also stimulate contradictions and cause turmoil."

"Even when it is serious, it will let the traitors take advantage of the situation and fight the whole country with a corner."

"From Gongsun Shu to Liu Yan, all of them were entrusted by the imperial court, which eventually led to the division of Shu."

"I think that back then, Zhong Hui led the army to destroy Shu, and he also saw that the mountains and rivers of Shu were dangerous, and he was ambitious and wanted to divide one side."

"Fortunately, Wei Qian handled it properly, otherwise the Jin family is afraid that it will not be so easy to unify the world."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that the governance of Shu must start from two aspects: one is to improve the transportation of Shu to strengthen its contact with the outside world."

"Second, carefully select officials, divide powers, checks and balances, and do not give Xiaoxiao a chance to take advantage of it."

In fact, the ancients recognized the importance of transportation very early on.

The ancient government also knew that only by maintaining convenient transportation could it ensure the accessibility of government decrees and maintain local rule.

Only then will Qin Shi Huang vigorously renovate the Chi Road, and the government of the past dynasties will increase the construction and management of official roads and post roads.

For Shudi, which has always been closed, the quality of traffic is particularly important.

"The sports industry is reasonable, and Lone also thinks that improving traffic conditions is an important part of the governance of Shu."

"We can't rely on a few broken plank roads to communicate with Shudi, and we must increase the construction of roads and bridges in Shuzhong."

"So be it! After going down, let the transfer department formulate a long-term transportation development plan around Shudi. ”

"After it is done, it will be reported to the cabinet for discussion."

"No!"

"My lord, in addition to strengthening road traffic construction and carefully selecting officials, the minister feels that Hanzhong should also be placed under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou."

"Huh? Let's hear it first. ”

"As we all know, Hanzhong is the barrier of Shu, sandwiched between Guanzhong and Shu."

"If Hanzhong is under the jurisdiction of Shu, if someone follows the example of Gongsun Shu and Liu Yan, they only need to close the Qinshu Ancient Road, then the imperial court will inevitably be unable to react."

"On the contrary, if Hanzhong is assigned to Yongzhou...... Hey! ”

"As long as someone dares to divide Shudi, the army can move south from Hanzhong in time to quell the rebellion."

"In this way, I will no longer worry about someone separating Shu to make chaos, and I am afraid that the world will be chaotic before Shu is chaotic."

"Lord, it's very good for the left servant to shoot this proposal, and the minister seconded it."

As soon as Song Xuan's words came out, he immediately shocked Wei Shuo and aroused great interest among others.

If Song Xuan was a modern person, he would not have been surprised if he said this.

Because this is exactly the way modern administration is divided, it is almost universally known common sense.

But Song Miao is a genuine ancient, and he can think of this, which has to make Wei Shuo feel admired.

Whether it is in terms of geography, climate, or cultural customs, Hanzhong is closer to Shu and should be assigned to Yizhou.

However, the road to Shu is difficult!

If Hanzhong is included in Yizhou, once the Yizhou authorities will be estranged from the imperial court in the future, with the intention of secession or confrontation.

He only needs to block the Shu Road, and he can block the imperial army from the outside world.

Since the Qin State made Bashu a county, Shu has repeatedly established a secession regime, and wandered outside the Central Plains Dynasty, and even lasted for decades.

If it weren't for Hexi's quick response this time, once Xishu became the climate, it would never be possible to quell the rebellion as smoothly as it was now.

In fact, the Central Plains dynasties of previous dynasties had already realized this and had taken similar measures, such as setting up Liangzhou in Fenyi Prefecture.

However, it was not appropriate to divide Liangzhou into Liangzhou, because there was a Daba Mountain to stop it, so that Hanzhong County had almost no communication with other counties.

In this way, Liangzhou is equivalent to only governing Hanzhong, and does not play its due role in checks and balances.

On the contrary, it is better to assign Hanzhong to Yongzhou and set Shu as a big state in Yizhou, as Song Miao said.

When the division of Xinyi Prefecture and Yongzhou Prefecture was properly discussed, Wei Shuo proposed to move Shu to the north.

Moving the local government to the capital was a means for the ancient government to strengthen its rule.

Yizhou is too closed and has too little communication with the outside world, which is easy to form separatist forces.

Wei Shuo proposed to move to the north of Shuzhonghaoqiang, in addition to preventing people from making trouble, but also to facilitate the governance of Shu.

After all, there are powerful places in the country, and it is inconvenient for the government to implement any policies.

"Just in what name should I move? You can't be forcibly evicted, right? ”

"Eviction? What if it causes unrest? ”

"But if you don't have to be strong, how can those heroes be obedient?"

Just when everyone was talking endlessly, they saw Wei Daofu hurriedly entering from outside, and shouted: "King, Shuzhong is urgent!" ”

This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone frowned slightly, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in their hearts.

Sure enough, I saw that King Yong opened the emergency report and glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Humph! It seems that our worries are not unreasonable, Shu has just been pacified, and there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the wind. ”

"What happened to my lord?"

"A few days ago, the Marquis of Shuzhong rebelled according to Fucheng, but he was pacified by Maide."

"In order to completely stabilize Shudi, Maide has begun to purge Haoqiang and Huluqu Shuai in Shuzhong."

"Lord, isn't this just the opportunity to move to the north of Shuzhong?"

"That's right! That's what Lone thinks, too. ”

"Sports, you immediately act in Shuzhong in the name of the cabinet, and let Maide move Shuzhong Haoqiang to Chang'an."

"No! The ministers obeyed. ”

"At present, the new Chang'an is about to be completed, plus several satellite cities such as Xianyang, Bacheng, and Chang'an Old City, which urgently need to be filled with population."

"Moving the heroes of Shu can not only stabilize the situation in Shu, but also prosper Chang'an, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

In the next period of time, the Hexi army from all over the country took turns to move the hundreds of powerful families in Shuzhong and the commander of Huluqu to Chang'an.

After they left, Wang Maide immediately sent people to confiscate their troops and land.

At the same time, officials at all levels such as Dong Fang, the county guard and Feng Ba, the county governor of Yizhou, arrived in Shu and began to implement the Juntian system.

Since then, Sichuan and Shu have gradually stabilized, and finally become one of the stable rear areas of Hexi.
