Chapter 262: Cleaning up the Qiang people
Although there were many people in Chang'an City who praised Emperor Ji Han, most of them belonged to those street gangsters, and when Cao Zhen's army returned to Chang'an, after the long knife cut off the heads of dozens of people, those noisy voices immediately disappeared.
Therefore, relatively speaking, although the departure of Cao Pi, the emperor of Cao Wei, from Chang'an had already shaken Chang'an and caused confusion, by the time Cao Zhen led the army back to Chang'an, no one dared to talk more.
For most people, it is possible to make a fortune by betting in advance, but it is not worth it to be cut to the head by Cao Zhen's big knife.
Therefore, the direction of public opinion in Chang'an has changed:
"Shu occupies Longxi? hehe, I'm afraid that I will be expelled soon. ”
"General Cao Zhenwei is shocking Yongliang, just a clown jumping off the beam, what is it?"
"When the general frees his hand, it is expected that Adou Xiao'er, Zhuge Villager can only return to Shuzhong obediently. ”
For the people of Chang'an, although the Great Wei Emperor Cao Pi has retreated, Cao Zhen still has 100,000 troops, which is a steel knife hanging above their heads, so that they dare not talk nonsense easily, besides, ordinary people care about their food, clothing, housing and transportation, relatives and friends, and national affairs are extremely far away from them, not to mention the Longxi area thousands of miles away?
Therefore, even some scholars from big families could only keep silent in the face of Cao Zhen, the governor of Yongliang.
But for some, the loss of Longxi is too terrifying. This is the upper reaches of Weishui, you can come to Chang'an City by boat for one day, Shu is not a sound, a blockbuster, the battle of Hanzhong ended for six or seven years, they suddenly walked out of the mountains and mountains in the south, occupied the upper reaches of Guanzhong. What's even more terrifying is that Cao Pi, the emperor of Cao Wei, was so frightened that he left Chang'an and returned to Kwantung.
Then the power that Shu shows behind it is simply terrifying and terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, destroyed the 50,000 imperial forest army led by Zhang He in a battle, and scared Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, committed suicide and martyrdom.
Therefore, although Chang'an City shows that the wind and waves are calm, there is a storm underneath.
At this time, in the area of Longxi, with Xu Miao, You Chu, and Guo Huai killed in battle, the situation in the entire northwest region was very good, and all the people had completely surrendered to Ji Han's soldiers.
As for Liangzhou, it is currently a remote area, and Ji Han's current power can be occupied, but it cannot be an effective government, so after Feng Zhou discussed with Zhuge Liang, he directly worshiped Ma Chao as the pastor of Liangzhou, so that he could effectively rule Liangzhou. 、
Of course, the team that governs Liangzhou must be officials loyal to Ji Han.
The officials and troops of the five counties of Longxi were quickly arranged in place, and Zhuge Liang suggested to Feng Zhou: "Your Majesty, now that Guanzhong is shaking, Cao Pi hurriedly fled back to Luoyang, and there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in Cao Zhen in the entire Guanzhong, and he is unable to move westward, so it is better for us to go straight to the ship and come to Chang'an." ”
According to common sense, Feng Zhou never rejected Zhuge Liang's proposal, but only checked and filled in the gaps for him at a critical time, but this time, Feng Zhou rejected him.
"Prime Minister, I now feel that our army has insufficient cavalry, and even if we capture Guanzhong, we may not be able to hold it for a long time, so we must form a large-scale cavalry army, and if we want a huge cavalry army, we must completely conquer the Qiang people who are herding horses. ”
"Then Your Majesty means to completely subdue those Qiang tribes and let them be a steady stream of horse herding for Your Majesty?" Zhuge Liang already knew in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the west side of the map.
It was the gathering place of the Qianghu.
"The prime minister knows what he means when he hears the string song, presumably these Qianghu leaders are already on the way, right?" Feng Zhou asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, at this time, the minister has already informed the hussar generals that they will arrive in Shangqi City within five days at the earliest. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Feng Zhou nodded and said, "With them, I can form a cavalry army and settle the Central Plains, like probing for things and ears." However, these people rebelled from time to time, causing great trouble to the Han people in our Central Plains, and I hope to completely conquer them, what is the prime minister's good plan?"
Zhuge Liang sighed: "The Saiwai Hu clan does not live up to the king, only by giving both grace and power, Huairou and the army, and implementing it for a long time, is the best policy, Your Majesty This kind of thing cannot be done once and for all, only slowly encroached." ”
Feng Zhou nodded and did not speak.
In the feudal era, if there was really a way to solve the problem of nomads once and for all, it would have been implemented a long time ago. After all, there have been many wise people in all dynasties, and there are many people who have seen through the reality of the nomads, so there is no need to delay until now.
There are dozens of these Qiang leaders, large and small, from various tribes and even different ethnic groups.
You must know that there are many types of Qiang people, such as Tangchang Qiang, Deng Zhiqiang, Baima Qiang, etc., they are distributed in the west of Yizhou, south of Liangzhou, and even today's Wudu, Yinping, Guanghan, and Yizhou Nanzhong also have Qiang people, but in general, Qinghai in later generations spread around.
As for the current Qiang leaders, they are mainly from the vicinity of Jincheng County in Liangzhou, that is, the area around Qinghai Lake.
The water and grass around Qinghai Lake are abundant, and the Qiang people live by the water and live by nomadism, and the Qiang people in this area have the largest number and the strongest strength.
Since the Qiang people are widely distributed and spread all over the border of Yiliang and Yizhou, the treatment of the Qiang people is related to the stability of Yongliang and Yizhou, so it must be properly handled.
In history, one of them is the Qiang people, this group of people occupied the Yongliang area, established the Later Qin, the Tibetan Plateau established in later generations, and the Western Xia established by the Dangxiang clan on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in fact, they were all bred by the Qiang people.
Feng Zhou once thought of using military coercion, and he personally led tens of thousands of cavalry troops, spending a year walking all over the territory of the Qiang people, slaughtering their young and strong, kidnapping their women and children, and scattering them into the Han people.
But Zhuge Liang poured a basin of cold water on him, telling him that the nomads could not be killed by killing, because the nomads lived in pursuit of water and grass, and killed all the Qiang people living there, and in another year or two, new nomadic tribes would come here and multiply.
The so-called drive away will come back, and after killing all the tribes, other tribes will migrate here, and the court will only get more and more tired by using troops again and again.
The most typical example is the Xiongnu in the north, after Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Dou Xian and other generations of famous generals went forward one after another, and finally drove away most of the Xiongnu, but because the Han people could not occupy the grassland for a long time, so it was occupied by the Xianbei people, once the Central Plains was weak, they would take advantage of the situation to enter the Central Plains, establish a dynasty, and slaughter the Han people.
If you want to completely subdue them, you must integrate generation after generation, generation after generation of blows, just like it took Great Qin hundreds of years to establish Guanzhong into a fertile land, and the Zhou and Hu people who lived there all merged into Han people.
Combined with history, perhaps this method is used to slowly make the Qiang people become Han people over time, so that the goal of long-term peace and stability can be achieved.
A few days later, he went to the Yamen.
That is, the temporary Jihan Palace.
"I'll see Your Majesty!"
A group of Qiang leaders saluted to the sealed boat.
According to common sense, Feng Zhou should say: "No courtesy".
But after staring at it for a long time, Feng Zhou didn't say a word.
These Qiang leaders were all terrified, their heartbeats intensified, and some even saw sweat on their foreheads.
The prestige of the Han Emperor is really loud.
On the way they came, they heard that the current emperor not only governs the country and governs the world unparalleled, but also commands the army to win every battle, and his personal martial arts are even more beyond the sky.
In recent years, Zhang He, the great Wei general of the mighty Qianghu, was killed by him with one shot, and Cao Zhen, the great general of the Wei state in the west, directly did not dare to fight with him, and now even the emperor of the Great Wei fled back to the Kwantung because he was afraid of him.
Even the original lost dog, General Shenweitian, and Xiliang Jinma Chao were all impressed by Emperor Ji Han, and destroyed tens of thousands of Xu Miao's army in a war and reconquered Liangzhou. These Qiang leaders were naturally in deep awe of Emperor Ji Han.
