Chapter 524: Multiple Choice Questions (I)
The car arrived in Shangyang Province.
Shangyang Mansion is the Shangjing of the Liao State.
Of course, Zhao Heng will definitely not keep this Beijing character, there is only one place in the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom is Beijing, that is, Youzhou, but Youzhou has become Beijing and Jingdecheng. This is still Youzhou, which is a gathering place for Han people, otherwise this Beijing character will also be removed.
Chukyo was changed to Chuhei, and Tokyo was changed to Toyofu.
There are also many state names that have been changed, because there are many state capitals that are too similar to the Central Plains, such as Yinzhou, Suzhou, Tongzhou and so on. Jingzhou was changed to Zunhua again, Pingzhou was changed to Lulong, Runzhou became Qinhuangdao, Xizhou became Suizhong, Songshan Prefecture was changed to Chifeng, Xingzhong Mansion was changed to Chaoyang, Chengzhou was changed to Chengchang, Yizhou became Yixian, Bei'an Xinghua became Chengde, and Yuzhou was changed to Lingyuan......
Up to Mantou Mountain, Yong'an Mountain, that is, the area around Shangjing in Linhuang Prefecture below, all the way to Changchun Prefecture on the east side of Mantou Mountain, and to the north side of the Tongtong River to the south, west to Dashuibo, Chifeng, Songshan and the upper reaches of the Liuhe River to Tanshan, connecting the ancient Confucian Prefecture The protruding part of the ancient Great Wall, more than seventy percent of the state and county names have been changed, and these names have been changed inexplicably.
The reason is only clear to Song Jiu.
However, everyone can also understand that the first one is to erase the mark of the Liao State and facilitate the rule, for example, the Liao character is gone, and it is changed to Juhe.
Secondly, the names of the prefectures and counties of the Liao State overlapped with those of the Song Dynasty, and the prefectures were too dense, and some of them had less than a thousand households and became states. It doesn't matter if the prefectures and counties are dense, the main thing is to send the governors to manage them in the future, which will undoubtedly increase the official expenses of the Song Dynasty, so many prefectures are also merged into counties.
This has to be revised.
That one had this meticulous mind to change so many names, so Song Jiu followed the memories of later generations. Replace it with the name of the Hereafter. Actually, there are some wrong, such as the current Chifeng. There is still a long way to go from Chifeng in later generations.
But most of them left him right.
It is not a big problem to be right or wrong.
The main thing is the reorganization of states and counties.
This will make the mark of the Liao State diluted, if it is used by Liao officials. It will give them a headache, but in the future, most of them will be officials of the Song Dynasty, anyway, it will be a new place, and it will be the same for them, so it took Song Jiu an hour to complete the "feat" on the map.
Everyone looked at the new name on the map, and they were a little ridiculous, but in the end, they still acquiesced to Song Jiu's approach.
Such as Chifeng, what is it called if it is not called Chifeng. Don't forget, there is also a Songzhou on the west side of Qinzhou. However, there is a lot of yang. Shangyang, Dongyang, Heyang, Chaoyang, Luyang. The sun is shining.
But to the west and north, basically don't ask.
Some names were slightly moved, but the names of the original Liao garrisons were moved.
There are many reasons for this, within the confines of this circle, including the current Shangyang. The Linhuangfu area of the Liao State began to be settled and cultivated, and the situation on the Jurchen side was the worst, and there was no way to govern the depths of Liaodong in history, including the Ming Dynasty.
However, because decades ago, Song Jiu brought many scribes and soldiers to guide. Under the pressure of the Liao State, Wu Xuanming took the initiative to cooperate, but the situation was better than many times in history. It may be close to the early stage of the Shandong people's invasion of the eastern part of the country in the nineteenth century.
Later, Xiao Yanyan brutally suppressed Jurchen independence, but still continued to retain the advanced measures promoted by Song Jiu. settled. For Liao, it is also conducive to governance.
And there are several large rivers, and there are still many problems with navigability. Including the Yalu River, the mixed river, most of the main areas are still very backward, there is no government to seriously sort out the river, just like the Yalu River navigation is very dangerous, there are many reefs in the river, if there is no local people to lead, the boat can capsize at any time. However, after a little combing, the three major rivers of the Liao River, the Yalu River and the Mingtong River can be navigated to many areas, radiating seventy percent of the area in eastern Liaoning.
Although there is a long ice period, most areas have more than half a year of navigation time when spring arrives.
The imperial court did not count on the tax revenue here for the time being, but if it was opened, it would be able to prosper the commerce here, strengthen the contacts and ties with the Central Plains, and complement each other.
It is not expected that the tax here can protect the officers and soldiers and other expenses, but as in the northwest, the troops can be trained here, and some wars may occur one after another, so not only do you not expect taxes in the early stage, but the imperial court also has to transport some materials here.
There's no way around it.
In addition to the dense population in southern Liaoning and some coastal areas, from the current Tieling, the former Yinzhou to the north, because the Liao State forcibly moved the majority of the population of the Bohai State to the south of Liaoning or Zhongjing, many areas are still empty, and there must be a long-term stage of rest and recuperation.
Of course, if the governance is good, the imperial court can collect taxes, just like Song Jiu did in Lingnan, of course, the northerners are stronger, the population is more sparse, the foundation is worse, and the imperial court will be slower than Guangnan if it wants to get benefits.
But now the imperial court is not in a hurry, if there is no war, or the cost of the Song-Liao war is saved, it will be very amazing.
For example, in the first battle of Lanyuan, tens of millions of dollars were spent.
What kind of astonishing effect will it be to save this cost and use it to govern the north?
Moreover, the finances of the Song Dynasty are still very healthy, and it may be difficult in the next three or four years, but the difficulty is in these three or four years. And the academy began to experiment with placing a steam engine on the ship and using the propeller to propel the ship forward.
It may take a few years for this technique to mature.
It doesn't make the ship faster, but it means that once it is successful, it will not need to sail with the help of the monsoon, if it is far away, it may not be able to keep up with the skills, but Liaodong is not too far, even if it is a detour to the mouth of the Tongjiang River, there is a coastline all the way, there is a supply, I believe that the Koreans will be obedient, and it will also bring them benefits, then there is no need for the monsoon, and the back and forth navigation.
But this is the only way to invest all this money and manpower in order to manage the situation well.
To the north is not good, the weather is colder, the population is more sparse, to the west is also not good, the desert area, sparsely populated does not count, there is no river flow, there is a river flow can not let the boat sail to where. In this era, ships were still the least freighty means of transport, and without boats, they were pushed deep into the desert by carts. Don't even think about it!
This is still typical of realism.
Zhao Heng arrived at Shangyang Mansion.
Many tribal chiefs come to worship.
How powerful the Liao State was at the beginning, under the leadership of Xiao Yanyan. Almost wiped out Goryeo, and even captured the Goryeo city. Wu Xuanming made such a big fuss at the beginning. Later, he was also destroyed and fled to the Song Dynasty and died of depression. Hindu rebelled several times and was also suppressed.
However, the army of the Song Dynasty came, and the Liao State was about to be destroyed in two months.
It is wrong to think this way, in fact, the destruction of the Liao State should have started with the general attack on the Song Dynasty in September last year, if it were not for all the elite troops lost in the Song Dynasty together, Xiao Yanyan, Han Derang and others were also lost in the Song Dynasty, then the result would be different.
It was in May that the Song Dynasty began to attack again, if Yelu Longqing did not concentrate his army. If the Song Dynasty fought to the death in the south of Jinzhou, then there would be a lot of trouble in this Song Dynasty attack, and it might take at least a few months, or even years, to recover the Liao State. In fact, once it dragged on, the Song Dynasty was tired of war and trapped in financial resources, and it was impossible to do it in the end.
However, on the surface, it did take only about fifty days for the Song Dynasty to take Shangjing and Zhongjing together.
And in several general battles, the Song army killed and wounded countless Liao troops.
In the north. It has always respected the strong, and of course it also subverted the concept of most officials in the Song Dynasty.
So the "ten thousand tribes" came to the court, since the northern tribes pursued the concept of respecting the strong, so Zhao Heng drove to Shangyang Mansion.
Receive the chiefs of all clans in Shangyang Mansion. But it won't stay too long, and it will be difficult to supply it when it arrives in Shangyang Mansion. If the entourage is small, the ministers are not at ease. Bring more, there will undoubtedly be a lot of difficulties.
Probably because it was happy. may be a temptation, Zhao Heng has a long list of official positions in Song Jiuyi. For example, Taishi Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi Tongping Zhangshi Jiazhaowenguan University Shiquan Youzhou Road pacified Jingluo Yingtian ambassador and soldiers and horses were deployed, Shangzhu Guo gave purple fish bags to eat Yi XX households to seal YY households, and then married Youzhou County Wang Chong Lu Long Zhenwu Jie Du envoy.
Can you get these two positions?
It should be said that it can.
If you look for it, you can find a lot of faults in Song Jiu, but in terms of merit, after leveling the Liao State, Song Jiu's merits are enough for him to be ranked among the top ten prime ministers in the history of this time and space.
Even Fang Du is slightly inferior, slightly similar in terms of civil governance, they do better in official governance, but they do slightly worse economically, but they are far inferior in martial arts. Of course, there are people who can compare with it, such as Xiao He, or Zhao Pu, Li Si, no matter what, people are the merit of Kuang to protect the country.
or Guan Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, Xie An, Guo Ziyi, the credit of these people should be even greater, but they did not unify the world, or did not eliminate the feudal towns, so the credit is slightly inferior.
But how many people have held so many high-ranking positions?
Moreover, where the Zhenwu Jiedu envoy is, it is the Shuofang area of the original Tang Dynasty, and at the same time leads the state armies of Sui, Yin, Lin, Sheng, etc., the two surrendered cities in the east and middle, and the north of Zhenwu Town.
The Lulong Festival envoy refers to Youzhou.
Although it is a false position, it can be matched with Song Jiu's karma, and it has an incomparably strong symbolic meaning, and if it is paired with the king of Youzhou County, the symbolic meaning is even thicker.
The ministers in the imperial city hall of the Liao Kingdom in Shangjing gasped.
Song Jiu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to level the Northeast, and it is even more difficult to govern the Northeast, so the minister asked to stay in the Northeast for a year or two, lay the foundation, and the minister will be the minister." If Your Majesty doesn't like it, the minister will give it to you. ”
Zhao Heng "woke up": "I made a mistake, I made a mistake." ”
Maybe it was a mistake, Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, there is no need to suspect people, there is no doubt about employing people, there is no shortage of civil servants who can govern in the court, and there may be not many generals who can take charge alone, at least in the past few years, there are many areas to have famous generals stationed, and only when Liaodong is stable can you redo the transfer of generals." The first is the Yunzhong Road, which must be deployed with Li Jilong as the soldiers and horses, the civil ministers govern the government affairs, Li Jilong is in charge of military affairs, and the imperial court is moderate, so that there will be no riots in the clouds and will be quickly pacified. Secondly, Cao Wei must return to Qinzhou to supervise Qinwei Road, and Ma Zhijie will go to Bashu to take charge of Bashu military affairs......
There is another intention that Song Jiu didn't say, Cao Wei went to Qinwei, and the intention of running the Tubo and Hexi corridors, it depends on the national situation.
Ma Zhijie went to Sichuan, if the country situation is good, then he can come to Dali.
For what is the chaos and chaos of the barbarian tribes in southern Sichuan, it is precisely because of Dali that they are both sides down. And if you get Dali, you can form a two-sided attack on Jiaozhi.
And Ma Zhijie is only fifty years old, and Cao Wei is only in his thirties, if there is no accident between the two. It can be used for a long time.
As for who will come after them? Can Song Jiu make it clear?
Zhilu Dao, Di Qing. But it is unclear whether Di Qing will exist after a few decades.
Of course. The current situation is relatively good, after many major battles in the past six months, many generals have further grown, although they cannot be said to be famous commanders, but there is no problem in supervising the operation of several thousand troops.
And the generals are widely used, there are veterans in their sixties, and there are also young generals in their twenties. For example, Wang Chao, everyone, including Song Jiu, was optimistic about Lu before, but this time his performance was very bad, and he was not as good as his son Wang Deyong.
For example, Wei Neng, some people say that it is not good, but this time the performance is very good.
It's also a valuable asset.
But there is no need for Song Jiu to say, everyone knows that during this time, they have been discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each general almost every day, so that they can be used, including Zhao Heng's ears, they can hear calluses.
The main reason is Zhao Heng's abnormal appointment. Let Song Jiu worry, it will also make Li Jilong worried, as the coach, he also worshiped the envoy this time. After sealing a few knots on his body, if he thought that Zhao Heng was not at ease with them, Li Jilong would stay in Yunzhou. If you don't dare to make a difference, you lose your meaning.
Zhao Heng nodded silently.
Don't say anything else. Just say that in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were destroyed and destroyed by Li Shimin. But after the extermination, another Turk rose up, and it was not until the Uighurs cooperated that the Turkic harm was weakened, but the Uighurs came again. And how powerful was the original Tubo in the Tang Dynasty? As soon as Princess Wencheng got married, Tubo went north to Tuguhu.
Unless you attack like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
However, Xiqiang has always plagued the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu did not completely lose the threat, but the danger was left until the Western Jin Dynasty.
It can only be said that the number one strong enemy of the Song Dynasty was destroyed, and it cannot be said that the border troubles are gone.
Song Jiu sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, I retreated bravely, no wonder those heroes in the past did not end well, and when there was nothing to reward, they were either killed or rebelled!" ”
But in general, fortunately, he is wearing the title of Wenchen, and Zhao Heng's suspicion is not as good as Zhao Kuangyi's, of course, as an emperor, if he is replaced by himself, he has no suspicion at all, it is impossible.
Song Jiu said the second question: "Now that Yanyun has withdrawn, the number one strong enemy has been annihilated, and the country does not need so many forbidden soldiers, so far, the number is just moderate." ”
Speaking of this, he sighed, and Zhao Heng also sighed.
Although the Liao State was destroyed, the Song Dynasty paid a heavy price, first of all, the economy, the surplus over the years was squandered, and it had to spend money, although it got a considerable wealth from the Liao State, and even deliberately executed a group of tough nobles, confiscated their family wealth, it can only be said that these money will be used to cope with the current expenses, and there may be sporadic rebellions and wars in Liaodong in the future, and there will be too much money to build.
Dozens of battles were fought, and many soldiers were killed, and the number of casualties reached more than 100,000. Those who were seriously wounded were to be discharged from the army, and those who died were to be compensated by their families, and the entire army was reduced by a quarter of its troops.
However, this time, there are only more than 400,000 forbidden soldiers left, so the country will save a lot of military spending a year.
There are also some other measures, such as the transfer of the township soldier system to the north, and in the future, the township soldiers in Hedong, Hebei Province will be successively transferred to the people, so that the two roads can quickly recover and develop, and some township soldiers will be set up on Youzhou Road and Yunzhong Road.
This problem is not big, it turned out that the Liao State had selected many soldiers here, and now it is just turning regular soldiers into village soldiers. As for the northern desert, Song Jiu also made it very clear that he would not support agents.
It's like the Tang Dynasty supporting one against the other, it's not worth it.
Instead, it continues to divide and fend for itself.
The policy of the imperial court was only to encourage them to trade, learn the official dialect and script of the Song Dynasty, promote some measures of settlement and pastoral care, and do not interfere with the rest, so as to reduce unnecessary expenses and disputes. Or send scouts to keep an eye out for one to prevent one from becoming dominant.
Zhao Heng also agreed.
However, just as Zhao Heng was about to leave Shangyang Mansion, Li Shenyou found Song Jiu privately.
Wang Qinruo entered the palace to make a small report.
To tell the truth, Wang Qinruo also has merit, he has merit in guarding the Daimyo's Mansion, and then he also made a lot of contributions when planning and governing Yanyun. It is difficult to level the world, and it is even more difficult to govern the world, and his merit lies in the governance of words.
But at the beginning of the Liao army to the south, he was afraid to persuade Zhao Heng to flee to the south, an ugly cover of a hundred jun, so it attracted the ridicule of many people, but also covered up his achievements, so he was often unhappy in his heart, yesterday quietly met, and Zhao Heng talked about the merits of everyone, he said: "Your Majesty knows how to gamble?" The blogger loses all the money, so he does everything he can, which is called a desperate bet. His Majesty, Song Jiukou Zhun was desperate, the actual situation was critical, once the Liao army broke through the defense line under the city of Lanzhou, several soldiers and horses did not have time to rescue, and His Majesty was in danger. With the life of His Majesty, he will win the merits of thousands of years. ”
