"Let's talk about the affairs of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate...... Liu Che waved his hand and said to Yizong: "I have already seen the general's recital, and the general said in the recital that he wants to turn Longyou County, Beidi County, Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County into a state, and use Shangjun, Taiyuan County and Changshan County into a state......"

"I want to hear it, why does the general think so?"

The Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is now a military unit with the highest specifications in the preparation of the Han Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Once the shelves of the Anbei Protectorate were erected, it would immediately form an unprecedentedly powerful war apparatus throughout northern China.

It will include the governors of Longyou, Beidi, Taiyuan, Shangjun, Yunzhong, and other counties with a large number of qualified soldiers and strong combat power.

Under his command, he also controlled several field troops, including the Juzhu Army, the Flying Fox Army, and the Lou Fu Army.

Its total strength may exceed 300,000, of which at least 100,000 are cavalry.

If a general mobilization is carried out, judging from the perfect mobilization mechanism and strong grassroots troops in this area, 500,000 bayonets can be pulled out with their eyes closed.

It can sweep through almost all the forces on the earth right now.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Imperial Protectorate from interfering in local affairs with excessive power, it destroys law and order with the barrel of a gun, and even rides on order and law to act as a blessing.

Liu Che then ordered Yizong to establish two or more prefectures in the local area while preparing for the capital protectorate.

The prefecture was in charge of the civil administration, while the prefecture was concentrating on the military.

Thus turning the Imperial Protectorate Yamen into a purely military institution, a product similar to that of the later Great Military Region.

The prefecture has only a military say, while the prefecture only has an administrative say.

This is also the reason why the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate has delayed until now and is still unable to carry out effective operations.

After all, the situation in the Northland counties is complicated, and various forces are intertwined.

Many counties even have deep grievances.

If two rivals are brought under a state-level administrative unit, then there will be a good show.

The two must be born to hate each other, and the state assassin history is afraid that it will be overwhelmed.

In addition, the construction of the state department is also closely related to the economy, people's livelihood and other issues.

From the perspective of long-term consideration, if the state wants the state to play its greatest role and integrate resources, then it is best for a state to be similar in terms of products, climate, culture, and geography.

In this way, the state ministry yamen can make overall arrangements and make relevant development preparations.

Otherwise, if wheat is the main staple food in one land, and in another land, the conditions for growing corn can only be obtained.

The two places are shoehorned together, how can the state ministry yamen arrange relevant work?

Therefore, the responsibility of Yizong is very heavy, and the work pressure is also very high.

He had to go all over the county, to the county to see, to investigate, to study, and he had to care about the definition of himself and others by the people of each county.

Hearing Liu Che's question, Yizong immediately entered the state of work.

He sat upright and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks so......"

He took stock of what he had seen and heard in the northern counties over the past year or so, as well as his own thoughts.

"The counties of Longyou and Beidi, since the first emperor, have been famous for animal husbandry and heroes, and the local people are fierce, and the dialects are almost the same, and the habits are also the same......"

This is a fact, Longyou, Beidi, and Yunzhong, since the Han Dynasty, have always been the key regions that determine China's fate and strength.

The Longyou military group, up to the Tang Dynasty, was one of the most powerful interest groups in China.

The nobles of Longyou are the key to the success or failure of the political struggle in the court.

Those who win the right side of Longlong win the world.

"And Shangjun, Taiyuan, Changshan, the place is mountainous, the people are mainly farming, although there are heroes, but most of them are landlords, and the peace is long, there is no military ......"

"And husband, the big river out of the nine plains and from the north into Longyou, take the Qingtong Gorge and into the north, His Majesty once said: the river should be governed on it, the minister thinks, from the nine plains, Shuofang and down to Longyou, the north, the place where the river is governed, can not but be heavy, so it is a state......"

Hearing this, Liu Che nodded with satisfaction, deeply grateful.

Yizong has matured and has begun to see things from the perspective of a national leader.

The problem of the great river is now beginning to emerge.

In the past few years, Liu Che has sent people to the mouth of the river and various places downstream to investigate.

The results are not encouraging.

The water quality of large rivers has been declining year after year, and the sediment content has increased in some places.

If it continues like this, this mother river will be stormed away.

Liu Che is very clear about this.

In the previous life of Emperor Wu, the river broke several times, and even the outlet to the sea changed again and again.

First of all, in the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the river broke Dunqiu (now north of Puyang, Henan) and poured into the sea from the southeast of Dunqiu.

Then, in the third year of Yuanguang, the river broke the gourd, this time the yellow flood area spread to several counties, and flooded for 20 years, until the Yuanfeng period was able to return to the old way.

What is even more terrible is that the breach has just been blocked, and the next year, the river bursts again.

This time, the raging river broke through the embankment of Guantao, and this time, the Tunshi River was born.

In the Sui Dynasty, the Tunshi River became part of the Yongji Canal.

And all this, in fact, has been foreshadowed now.

According to the reports of the officials and envoys sent by Liu Che, the river runs from Sujin to the north, a hundred and ten miles away.

He also said: On the bank of the golden embankment, the more sediment, the more risk of bursting the embankment.

In the sixth year of Yuande, Liu Che sent a huge research group composed of surveying and mapping officers of the army, court eunuchs, and imperial historians to investigate the mouth of the great river.

The conclusions reached are shocking.

Over the past two decades, the Great River has swung more than thirty miles northward, forming a delta downstream of it.

The siltation area stretches for more than 100 miles.

This is indicative of the fact that the sediment content of the great rivers is increasing wildly.

If measures are not taken, then this mother river will become the Yellow River and become a hanging river.

Once such a disaster occurs, then the precious legacy left to the world in the pre-Qin era, the great Golden Causeway, will become an eternal memory.

Moreover, changes in the ecology of large rivers will definitely trigger a chain reaction.

As soon as the big river overflows, there may be problems with the Huai River.

Liu Che knows that he is at a critical historical juncture.

Since the fifth year of King Zhou Ding, the river broke down, destroyed the Yu River, and seized it into the sea, the river flooded for hundreds of years, until the middle of the Warring States period, Qi, Zhao and Wei acted together to build a golden embankment to stabilize this violent river.

Hundreds of years of ecological deterioration and soil erosion have left the embankment crumbling.

Once the golden embankment collapses, the river will rage again.

In later generations, the sediment of the Yellow River can bury more than one Bianliang.

And the price to be paid in the future is even more unimaginable.

Not to mention, every time the river bursts, the number of people displaced is hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

As a result, thousands of people died.

Governing the big river and pacifying this mother river can be said to be the most important and priority thing for the Han family at present.

And, now is the last chance.

If you don't do it now, you won't have a chance in the future.

If Liu Che remembers correctly, since Emperor Wu, the name of the river has become the Yellow River.

Seven buckets of sand in one stone of water.

The key to controlling the river lies in its upper reaches, especially in the Hetao area and the sections of Longyou and Beidi, as long as the stability of the water and soil in the upper reaches can be ensured and the sediment content of the river water can be controlled.

Then, the big river is still the big river.

Even if you are occasionally naughty, it won't cause too many problems.

"Then use this number of counties as the Liangzhou Thorn History Department...... Liu Che clapped his hands and said: "The general has any recommended candidates for the Liangzhou Thorn History?" ”

The state ministry system was set as early as the sixth year of Yuande.

The highest governor of the state is the assassin Shi, who is the middle 2,000 stones, enjoys the direct performance of the king, inspects the counties and counties under his jurisdiction, and has the power to impeach lawlessness and rectify improper verification.

And the assassin also has the power to directly deal with the civil affairs in the jurisdiction.

When the road is uneven, you can draw a knife to help.

However, compared with the provincial governors and provincial party secretaries of later generations, the state assassin history is still somewhat inferior.

For example, the assassin himself and the state ministry yamen themselves could not directly interfere in local administration, but could only participate in local problems or when problems were discovered.

This is to save some face for the county commanders, and it is also to prevent too much turmoil.

After all, rashly placing a superior on the head of a feudal official like the county guard can easily lead to the lack of authority of the county guard and the expansion of local tyrants.

Yi Zong, naturally, knew the sensitivity of this matter, so he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter is very important, and Your Majesty should convene a court meeting to ......make a referendum."

When Liu Che heard this, he nodded indispensably.

Such an important position as the history of the state assassin should naturally be discussed in the court meeting.

However, in fact, if there is a suitable candidate, Liu Che will actually adopt it.

Because, at least for now, the vision of righteousness is invincible.

Over the years, the officials he recommended were all above the level, and there were even several very outstanding talents.

However, since Yizong was unwilling to get involved in this matter, Liu Che didn't say much.

"Then the other state, let's take the name of merging states......" Liu Che thought about it and said.

In this way, history changed once again completely.

The Shuofang Thorn History Department disappeared, and Liangzhou and Bingzhou moved a block to the west.

Rather than being a straightforward institution, the Department of Assassination became an administrative unit that corresponded to geography, customs, and circumstances.

It's more scientific and more reasonable.

Putting this matter aside, Liu Che said to Yizhong: "I heard that the general and other colleagues have been discussing a battle plan recently? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case...... Yi Zong immediately explained his entire plan and explained it again.

"The minister was inspired by General Zhi's ideas......"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Forgetting the war will be dangerous, and, Ju Yanze, the quicksand of the ancients, the place where the emperor preached, the first king's dojo, An can be entrusted to the hands of Yidi?"

"Hmm......" Liu Che smiled after hearing this.

Today's Imperial generals have fully awakened to a divine talent called '...... since ancient times'.

Moreover, it is flexible and proficient in use.

I'm afraid that the Huns are here in person, and I'm afraid they will be speechless, impressed by the other party's reasoning.

There is no way, there is no diplomacy for weak countries.

In the face of the powerful, the weak have no other way than to knock out their teeth and swallow their blood.

But......

"How can a general control the scale of the war?" Liu Che asked with a smile: "Ju Yanze, the lifeblood of the Western Huns, just like the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao fought for the party, once the Wang Shi marched into Ju Yanze, the Western Huns will fight to the death!" ”

"At that time, the scale of the war may not be controllable......"

"The Western Xiongnu may even reconcile with the Northern Xiongnu......"

"How will the general deal with that time?"

These questions fell down one by one, and Yizong was a little dumbfounded.

But he could not give up on this offer, nor could he give up on it.

Because, if he wants to maintain the situation of the Yi clan's foreign relatives group, he must bring benefits and benefits to the people below.

Otherwise, when the people below look at it, the big guy is unreliable, and they will naturally scatter birds and beasts.

And he couldn't give up the group of Yi's relatives that had been formed with great difficulty today.

It's not for himself, it's for his nephew.

In this life, Yizong has no regrets.

His only wish is to do everything to escort the eldest son of the emperor.

He took a deep breath and bowed righteously: "Your Majesty Shengming, if the king Shi goes out to live in Yanze, the Western Huns will definitely fight to the death!" ”

This is a question that requires little thought.

The small regime of the Western Huns, in order to survive, has almost retreated to the extreme.

Lianhe Lishan's life gate was also handed over to the Han family as a pledge.

And the strategic place that can maintain his last existence is Ju Yanze.

If Juyanze is lost, the Western Huns can be destroyed overnight.

But......

"However, the Western Huns are just clowns jumping off the beam, if they dare to come to the nest, they will definitely be destroyed!" Yi Zong said: "With Heli Mountain, Wang Shi is already invincible!" ”

"Moreover, as long as Wang Shi grasps the degree well, but Ju Yanze always allows him to hold some important places to ensure his safety, and the minister thinks that the Western Xiongnu will not dare to make peace with the Northern Xiongnu......"

This is also true.

The current master of the Western Xiongnu and his nobles really dare to reconcile with the relatives of the Northern Xiongnu?

Liu Che didn't believe it.

They don't have the guts.

Because, and it is difficult to carve and his people, what they do is betrayal, and it is a naked betrayal!

The most important point is that they are now holding the sign of Yu Dan in their hands.

Yu Shan was the only son of the military minister and the legitimate heir of the Xiongnu Empire.

If the two reconcile, who will make the single Yu?

Moreover, and it is difficult to carve or anyone else, they dare not kill Yu Shan and make peace again, it is no different from looking for death!

Do you think the Huns will accept a group of traitors who betrayed themselves first, stabbed them, and then killed their masters?

You know, now the Northern Xiongnu are carrying out a vigorous sinicization movement.

The concept of loyalty and filial piety has also begun to gradually take root in the hearts of the people.

Yes, even if it is difficult to surrender to the Han Dynasty, it is better than defecting to the Northern Xiongnu.

"That being the case, it's not that I can't ......agree," Liu Che said, "However, the general has to help me do one thing first......

When Yi Zong heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Please give instructions to Your Majesty...... The minister will swear to die and do ......"
