Chapter 359: Guanzhong Development Strategy

Each embroidery is said to be a sect. Zhong wanted to be the first to speak! , leading the public. Now that General Hua has captured Xiao Pass, the four stoppers in Guanzhong are all in the hands of the lord, and he thinks that he should go all out to show his strength in Guanzhong at this time. Since the beginning, after Wu Zhongxing, Guanzhong was no longer valued by the shogunate, and then Qiang disasters broke out, and the court almost gave up on Guanzhong. The lord wants to compete with the princes of the Central Plains, and it is urgent to revive Guanzhong, so as to the current situation in Guanzhong. To rebuild it into the granary of the world, it will take ten years at the earliest. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu frowned, and asked his original doubts: "Yuan Chang, there have been ancestors in Guanzhong who have cultivated here since three generations. The special Zhou Dynasty and the strong Qin Dynasty swept the world based on Guanzhong, and the first Han Dynasty also took Guanzhong as the base mouth from the Zhou Dynasty to the first Han Dynasty, and the ancestors switched nearly a thousand years. Although the land in Guanzhong is fertile, but after thousands of years of use, I am afraid that the land power has been lost, and the reason why Guangwu established the capital Luoyang, relying on Guandong and no longer taking Guanzhong as the foundation. I'm afraid that I also know something about the problem of soil power in Guanzhong. Now Yuan Chang has to be switched on and off again. I am afraid that after ten or a hundred years, Guanzhong will be completely unusable, but it will be a disaster for future generations

Zhang Xiu talked about such an in-depth issue, and none of the military attachΓ©s such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Ma Teng could interject. Zhong Chai also frowned after hearing this, and said, "What the lord said is reasonable, I really didn't think of this question before. Now that I think about it, Guangwu will abandon Guanzhong, but I am afraid that there will be a reason why Guanzhong's strength will be restored and will not harm future generations

After a pause, Zhong Feng continued: "Despite this, only Hanzhong and Nanyang produce a lot of grain in the lord's rule now, and the soil in Hedong and Henan is also used for a long time, the loss of land is serious, and the grain production is not high, so it can only be used by the local people and has a slight surplus. If you don't use Guanzhong, the lord is simply unable to compete with the Kwantung princes, so he doesn't think about it. At this time, it is necessary to revive Guanzhong first. When the lord occupies Yizhou or Jingzhou, he will find a way to restore the power of Guanzhong

As soon as Zhang Xiu heard it, he knew that what Zhong Chai said was actually similar to Zhang Xiu's common idea of polluting first and treating later, but the facts have proved that this practice costs a lot of money. Modern times are fine, with the help of technology, but in ancient times it was unlikely. If Guanzhong is opened and revived, if the power of Guanzhong is restored in the future, it will first be opposed to the people of Guanzhong. People cultivate well and live and work in peace and contentment. Suddenly said that he wanted to recover the cultivated land, so it was difficult to guarantee that it would not cause chaos in Guanzhong, and Zhang Xiu took Guanzhong as the foundation, Guanzhong was fundamentally chaotic, and the world was also chaotic, so Zhong Chai's method was easy to say, but it was not feasible to do.

However, what Zhong Xuan said is also reasonable, if he does not switch it, then Zhang Xiu has no ability to compete with the princes of the Central Plains, even if he can win Yizhou. However, the mountain roads in Yizhou are difficult to travel, and the difficulty of transporting grain is well known to the world. The loss of grain and grass along the way from Yizhou is only enough for the army to fight for a few months, and it is very expensive to do so, and it is impossible to continue for a long time.

Therefore, the reopening of Guanzhong is imperative. Zhang Xiu said what he was thinking. Zhong Chai was silent after hearing this. Both of them bowed their heads and pondered, and then Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, and Zhuge Jin also fell into contemplation. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the others glanced at each other a few times, but they didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing their thinking.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu raised his head, sighed and said: "The only way to plan for today is to open and recover at the same time." When the four of them heard it, they were thoughtful.

Zhang Xiu continued: "The best way to restore the soil is not to abandon it and let it recover on its own. Instead, plant trees and restore the woods. Therefore, the embroidery is thought. A large number of trees were planted on both sides of the Weishui and Jing rivers and along the Yellow River, as well as in the northern part of Zuofenghu near the border between Bingzhou and Liangzhou and in the western part of Youfufeng near Liangzhou, so that they could not be cultivated by the people. As a result, half of the land in Guanzhong is forested, and the remaining half is used for farming. Since trees are planted along the Weishui and Jing rivers, ditches must be opened to bring them to the land behind the trees for irrigation. In this way, water can be introduced into the woods, which is a lot of manpower, but it is indispensable for all eternity. ”

Zhong Chai heard this, frowned and asked, "Lord, in such a scene, isn't there only half of the land left in Guanzhong that can be cultivated?" This is only enough for a short period of time. And in the future, if it competes with the Kwantung princes, it will definitely be protracted. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, now Liangzhou is undecided, and the Kwantung princes have not yet decided on the winner." Fighting the Kwantung princes is not a short-term thing. As long as we can take Yiju before the Kwantung princes decide the winner. ”

Zhong Chai heard it and said: "The road in Yizhou is difficult, and there is a lot of loss in transporting grain, even if you take Yizhou, it will not be enough for the lord." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Competing with the princes of Kwantung is the only way to go east from Chang'an and Luoyang." From Yizhou down the river. Trap Jingzhou first, as long as Jing and Yi Erzhou are in hand, it may not be impossible to seize the world. ”

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng immediately understood what Zhang Xiu was thinking, and they wanted to say it when they saw Zhong Xuan. Jia Xuwang was about to hold him down to explain, but Zhuge Jin over there said first: "The lord is not ready to take the road of King Wu and Emperor Qin? .

Zhang Xiu nodded and replied: "Yes, whether it is King Wu or Qin Huang, both the north and south are advancing at the same time, the north road will attack Hebei and the Central Plains, and the south road will attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and the last two armies will join forces in Qingzhou to unify the world." However, now Guanzhong is tired, and Guanzhong can't support it in the north and south. In this case, if the north road is mainly defensive, there are tiger prisons, the danger of remembering water, and the danger of Taihang and counting, so many dangers must be passed. The defense on the north should be unharmed. Since it is mainly based on the south road, the next step should be to take Yizhou first, as long as the beneficial state is in hand, and Nanyang can cooperate with Jingzhou to attack. As long as Jing and Yi are in hand, it can be both east and north. ”

This time, the generals also listened very carefully. After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, everyone understood what Zhang Xiu thought.

According to this strategy, Henan and Hedong in the north will be mainly defensive, and Guanzhong will be used to support the defense in the north. The entire offensive strategy was mainly to attack the southern route, with Jingzhou as the core of the offensive and Yizhou as support. However, now that these two places are not in Zhang Xiu's hands, the capture of these two states is the next offensive strategy.

According to this strategy, the position of Guanzhong is still extremely important, but only half of the Guanzhong should be enough in the case of the main defense, so that Zhang Xiu's intention to restore the strength of Guanzhong is complete, and it does not affect Zhang Xiu's plan to seize the world, and the trade-off should be the best choice at this time.

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said meaningfully: "Although I, Zhang Xiu, am the lord of Guanzhong now, Guanzhong is not my Zhang Xiu's Guanzhong, how is Guanzhong related to the fate of the Han people." Guanzhong is thriving. The Hu people of Sichuan Zhifang and the Han people are attacking, but if Guanzhong is deserted. Then Piaoci can only be a defensive posture against the Hu people, and it can be seen that the Han has suffered many disasters since then. For the sake of my Han descendants. It is urgent to restore the strength of Guanzhong. ”

Zhong Chai listened. nodded and said, "What the lord thinks, he doesn't understand." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Before, Han Sheng sent a letter saying that he had captured more than 8,000 soldiers of Cheng Yin's department, and Wen Yuan and Xingba also captured more than 10,000 soldiers of Ji Ling's department in the first battle of Nanyang. There are more than 20,000 people here, and they are just going to Guanzhong to dig ditches and plant trees, and Ziyu is in charge of this matter

Zhuge listened to it, and said, "No! ”

Zhang Xiu waved his hand and asked Zhuge Jin to return to his seat. And he said, "In addition to this, there is another big thing. Now that Guanzhong has been decided, Wancheng is the front line, but it is no longer suitable as the residence of the general of the fat cavalry. I thought that the general's mansion would be opened in Chang'an, I don't know what you think? .

Zhang Xiu raised this matter, but no one was surprised, and now Zhang Xiu has turned against Liu Biao. The south and east are all enemies, although Cao Cao in the northeast is called an ally, but there will be faith among the princes in the troubled times, more than half of Nanyang is surrounded on all sides, and it is indeed no longer suitable as the residence of the general of the fat cavalry.

Moreover, now Chang'an, the capital of the first Han Dynasty, and Luoyang, the capital of the Later Han Dynasty, are in the hands of Zhang Xiu, and Chang'an and Luoyang are more suitable than Wancheng in terms of heritage and geographical location. Therefore, no one was surprised by the relocation of the house, and the question was whether it was moved to the newly built Luoyang or the old capital Chang'an, and everyone had speculation. However, I can hear Zhang Xiu's strategy. Everyone knows that it will not be Luoyang, because now Zhang Xiu's direction of attack is not east. And moving to Chang'an is also a gesture, implying that the princes of Guandong Eryuan and Cao Cao have no intention of Zhang Xiu.

In addition to expressing these meanings, Zhang Xiu moved the palace of the general of the sudden cavalry to Chang'an, and also wanted to strengthen his control over Liangzhou, as well as deal with the problems between Han and Qiang. Zhang Xiu clearly knew that the reason why Soochow was repeatedly unable to conquer the north in history was inseparable from the contradictions between the mountains and Yues in Jiangdong. And why Shu Han can repeatedly go north without worries has a lot to do with Zhuge Liang's southern expedition to pacify Nanzhong Meng, and Shu Han's northern expedition, the convinced Nanzhong barbarians also made a lot of efforts, so dealing with the problem of the Qiang people is also a key point that Zhang Xiu needs to deal with.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "In that case, when talking about the problems between Han and Qiang, what is Shoucheng's opinion?" ”

Ma Teng replied: "The lord also said to Teng before, in fact, the contradictions between Han and Qiang are not irreconcilable. The Qiang people had a long contact with the Han people. The culture of the Han people has been around for a long time. In addition, the Qiang people are now and not all nomadic, many Qiang people in Liangzhou have organized village farming, and there are also many Qiang people in Guanzhong. Therefore, it should be as the lord said before and Teng. In the treatment of the Qiang people, those who do not accept it will be attacked by soldiers to deter their courage, and those who obey will wait for them equally. ”

Zhang Xiu obviously used Ma Teng's mouth to express his thoughts, and after everyone listened, Zhong Mei said in a loud voice: "What General Ma said is very true. Guess that there are four methods, which can level the contradiction between Han and Qiang. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this and asked anxiously: "Yuan Chang and tell me carefully." ”

Zhong Chai smiled: "Treat the Qiang people equally. If the Han and Qiang people have a dispute, they should handle it impartially and not favoritly, so that both the Han and Qiang will obey it. The Qiang people have admired the Han people's artifacts for a long time, and the lord can set up markets in the major cities of Liangzhou, so that the Qiang and Han people can buy and sell equally in this market, and the market will set up officials. Disputes arising from the sale and purchase shall be handled in a fair manner. Third, the Mongolian school was opened in Liangzhou. Let the Han and Qiang people can study in Mengxue, if the grades are excellent, they can go to the Nanyang School Palace to study, regardless of the Han and Qiang have this opportunity, and if the Qiang people have a middle school examination, they can also be officials. The Qiang people's farming methods are backward, and they often don't have enough to eat, so the lord can let people teach the Qiang people's farming methods, and the Qiang people's land tax is exempted. With these three methods, coupled with the use of troops to defeat those who are not satisfied, over time, Liangzhou can be determined. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu high-fived and praised: "Wonderful! ”

Ma Yue said even more excitedly: "With Mr. Yuanchang's four methods, the life of the Qiang people should be greatly improved." ”

Ma Teng said: "The lord treats the Qiang people well. If the Qiang people rebel again, I, Ma Teng, will be the first to come out and lead the troops to fight. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said: "Yuan Chang is very good at this law, and he chooses some officials who are diligent and love the people, and are fair to Liangzhou, they are the focus of the contradiction between the Han and Qiang, and Yuan Chang must remember to be cautious."

Zhong Xuan heard this, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I don't understand."

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "When Li urged the thieves to usurp the government, he changed the part of Liangzhou and the part of Sili to Yongzhou, and he was going to show the imperial court, abolish Yongzhou and restore the old system. Si Li immediately governed Henan, Hedong, Hanoi, Hongnong, Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengling, and Right Fufeng, and the rest of the land was returned to the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. In addition, he will be the captain of the Sili School again, handling the political affairs of Sizhou and governing Chang'an

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "After Yuan Chang left, Nanyang was too guarded in the air, and he was outstanding when he abandoned Jing Zhaoyin before, and he would have played the positive side as Nanyang Taishou. Bohou is not right, just dealing with the affairs of Han Qiang, and he will be used as a table to play him as the assassin of Liangzhou. In addition, De Rong has made remarkable achievements in Hanzhong for several years, and the construction of Luoyang has not yet been completed. Ziyu is both civil and military. Yuan Shao's army was ready to move in Bingzhou, and he would have played Ziyu as the Taishou of Hedong. Yuan Chang is the lieutenant of the school, and his official duties are heavy, so he will drop Yanpu in Hanzhong to Chang'an to help Yuan Chang

Everyone heard what Zhang Xiu said, and they were strange for a while. Everyone knows that Zhang Xiu's statement about the court is ostensibly making a fuss, but in fact, when he said this, everyone's official positions were decided. But this time the official seal made everyone feel strange, Li Ru in Hanzhong, Li Yan in Nanyang, Zhang Ji in Henan, Zhuge Jin in Hedong, Meng Da in Hanoi and Han Hao in Hongnong have not changed, while Zhong Mei and Du Ji, who have followed Zhang Xiu for a long time and have outstanding abilities, are dealing with the political affairs of Sanfu and Liangzhou.

The highest officials in all these places are civil officials. is also the only one who is both civil and military, and his martial arts are not bad, but because Zhang Xiu has fewer officials. Therefore, Li Yan was assigned to the side of the civil officials. Hearing what Zhang Xiu said, the military attache frowned at the same time. They didn't frown for the sake of their official position, but felt that in troubled times, they should put military first, and many princes from all over the country were too guarded by the generals. Now Zhang Xiu is all civil officials as local governors. I feel inappropriate...... If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to Spoon Han. More chapters, support for authors.
