Chapter 18 The Zhang Family, "Thin People".

To a large extent, Zhang Jiashi is more like the existence of a "Taishanghuang" than the leader of a foreign relative's forces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But for Ying Xun, the young Qin III, the existence of Zhang Jiashi was indispensable.

This can be seen from the fact that the high-level core of the Qin Empire with Chen Ping as the leader repeatedly implicitly advised Zhang Jiashi not to rashly recruit in person.

In fact, Zhang Jiashi himself was well aware of Chen Ping's advice, not only in their position and their own career considerations, but also in their loyalty to the Qin Empire.

If Zhang Jiashi had an accident in the war against the Xiongnu, then even if the Qin Empire achieved a favorable situation in the whole war, this news alone would be enough to cancel out almost any war advantage.

As the so-called involvement of the whole body, although Zhang Jiashi's identity and status are nominally under Yingxun, the third emperor of Qin, and the edict of the first emperor is just to let Zhang Jiashi temporarily act as the national government until Yingxun's personal government.

But even for people, including the confidants and cronies of the original First Emperor such as Gonggong Xi, they all know that although Zhang Jiashi is the regent of the Qin Empire, once Zhang Jiashi has an accident, even if they are the confidants of the First Emperor, the top of the Liaodong military system under the original Zhang Jiashi and the family that has an in-law relationship with Zhang Jiashi can guarantee to a large extent that they are still loyal to Yingxun, and other forces, they only know that under the pressure of losing Zhang Jiashi's prestige, whether these people will be loyal to the Qin Empire or the young emperor, I am afraid only God knows。

This is a situation that many people do not want to see.

There may be some people who want to see Zhang Jiashi's early death, but there is no doubt that these people are suspicious of the Qin Empire or Zhang Jiashi's family.

......

And if he wants to solve this problem, Zhang Jiashi didn't think of a corresponding solution, but since this method was eliminated by the Qin Empire, it was also deeply feared by Zhang Jiashi.

And this method is the sub-sealing system.

The county system of the Qin Empire basically and completely replaced the feudal system, and after the First Emperor swept through the Six Kingdoms, even those who were as high as Wang Jian Li Si did not become a feudal monarch, but evolved into the existence of a large landlord class.

The amount of land owned by Li Si may not be as good as that of Wang Qian, but it is not far behind.

In this environment, even if Zhang Jiashi wants to restore the sub-feudal system, I am afraid that he must first deal with the previous "historical problems".

Not to mention that the sub-feudal system will become an important factor in civil strife, Zhang Jiashi's family itself has not established the basis of the sub-feudal system.

Because Zhang Jiashi himself does not have a "relative" in this world, he is a traverser, if there is an existence in this world that claims to be his "relative", Zhang Jiashi does not know how to solve this problem.

Perhaps in this case, killing the impostors is the best way to do so. It's just that for the sake of reputation, Zhang Jiashi will not take the initiative to make such an arrangement.

After all, it is difficult for a monarch who does not recognize his relatives to get the support of more people. It can even be said that maybe even people like Wang Li's family will be estranged from Zhang Jiashi, if such a situation occurs, Zhang Jiashi can be said to have more gains than losses.

Under such a premise, Zhang Jiashi's lineage, that is, in the category of "relatives", Zhang Jiashi can be said to be alone, even if he wants to engage in the sub-sealing system, there is no suitable candidate.

At least like uncles, brothers, brothers, etc., this is impossible to "rely on" at all.

......

The historical system of subdivision can almost be said to be the embodiment of the equal sharing of the interests of a family member.

And the basis for the emergence of this system is that this family has a certain number of personnel.

As far as some of the records of King Wu of Zhou are concerned, the prosperity of Ding Xing, a person in the line of King Wen of Zhou, can be said to be an important factor in the success of King Wu of Zhou's feudal system:

King Ji of Zhou Wu divided the children and meritorious heroes of the clan surnamed Ji as the princes of the countries, and they were of the fifth rank: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, and those who were not as good as the fifth class were vassals. There are a total of 71 countries, of which the descendants of the surname Ji have the most feudal states, with 53, which is the origin of the "feudal" of the Chinese feudal princes with the same surname.

Among the princes of the nations are the most famous:

Ji Guo --- surname Ji, Marquis. He is a descendant of Di Yao. The fiefdom is now Shuntianfu in Beijing.

Nearly half of the above vassal states can be said to be the princes of King Wen of Zhou or surnamed Ji. And such a division can form a situation in which the factions of the clan country overwhelm the princes with foreign surnames at the beginning.

Similar to this, there is also the way in which the founding emperors of the country were divided.

......

Liu Bang's division was also similar to that of King Wu of Zhou.

Among the princes divided by Liu Bang, there are eight foreign surnames (not all of them appear at the same time): Zhang Ao is the king of Zhao, Yingbu is the king of Huainan, Zang Tu is the king of Yan, Han Xinfeng is the king of Chu, Peng Yue is the king of Liang, the descendants of King Han Xiang are named the king of Han, Yingbu's father-in-law Wu Rui is the king of Changsha, and one is Lu Juan, who is also the king of Yan.

The prince of Zong is nine (these nine did not appear at the same time): the eldest son Liu Fei (King of Fengqi), the third son Liu Ruyi (King of Zhao), the fourth son Liu Heng (King of Fengdai, and later succeeded to the throne of Emperor Wen), the fifth son Liu Hui (King of Fengliang), the sixth son Liu You (King of Huaiyang), the seventh son Liu Chang (King of Huainan), the eighth son Liu Jian (King of Fengyan).

It can be said that in this respect, the number may be roughly equal, but in more aspects, after the situation in the Han Empire gradually stabilized, the foreign surname king was gradually purged by Liu Bang, and in the later period of Liu Bang's reign, a situation has been formed in which the clan surname king overwhelmed the foreign surname king.

The situation in the Jin Dynasty was relatively more extreme:

"Jin Shu Geographical Chronicles" records: Emperor Wen of Jin was the king of Jin, and ordered Pei Xiu and others to establish a five-class system, but Anping County Gongfu Yi ten thousand households, the system is like the Wei kings. In the rest of the counties, there are 1,800 households in Gongyi, 75 li, 1,600 households in the Great Country, 70 li, 1,400 households in the sub-country, 65 li, 1,200 households in the sub-country, 60 li, 1,200 in the Boyi, 65 li, 1,000 households in the sub-country, 55 li, 800 in the Daguoziyi, 50 li, 600 in the sub-country, 45 li, 400 in the Nanyi, 400 li.

In the first year of Emperor Wu's Taishi, the kings of the feudal kingdom took the county as the country. 20,000 households are a large country, with 5,000 soldiers from the upper, lower, middle, and lower armies; 10,000 households are sub-country, with 3,000 soldiers from the upper and lower armies; and 5,000 households are small countries, with 1,500 soldiers. Wang Buzhi's country, the official is in Beijing. In the system of rebalancing the fifth class, more than 10,000 households in the Gonghou Yi are large countries, more than 5,000 households are sub-countries, and less than 5,000 households are small countries.

"Jin Shu Zhi Guanzhi" records: In the third year of Xianning, the Wei general Yang Jue and the Zhongshu supervisor Xun Xun were looking forward to the king of Qi, fearing that Emperor Hui would have difficulties in the future. Now Wu Kou is not killed, Fang Yue is in charge, and the kings are handsome, and they are all governors of the country. And the generals with different surnames live on the side, and it is advisable to participate in relatives, and all the princes are in Kyoto, not the righteousness of the city, and the solidity of eternity. The emperor did not observe it at the beginning, so he issued an edict to discuss its system

There is a division, from the princes to the households, all lieutenants lead the troops. Its plains, Runan, Langxi, Fufeng, and Qi are large countries, Liang, Zhao, Le'an, Yan, Anping, and Yiyang are sub-countries, and the rest are small countries, all of which are close to the county and are full of thousands of households. It is also a county system, such as a small king, and a lieutenant to lead the army. If the prince of the county is less than 5,000 kings, he will put an army of 1,100 people, and the lieutenant will lead it. At that time, Wei Tezeng Lu Duchy Huyi, chased into the late Sikong Boling Duke Shen as the county prince, Juping Marquis Yanghu as the Nancheng County Marquis.

Nangong Wang Cheng and Wang Wanjia were named county kings in Taishizhong, with 1,000 households, and the county king was corrected to increase the number of 3,000 households. The system is like a county marquis, and there is also an army. Since then, non-princes are not allowed to be kings, and the branches of the kings are all close relatives of the royal family, and they are also entitled. The branch of the king of the first great country is the prince, the branch of the king is the marquis, and the branch of the successor king is the uncle. 5,000 households in a small country have been reached, and the branch of the first feudal king is the son, and the branch of the first feudal king and the branch of the first feudal prince are all male, otherwise they are not allowed to be sealed. If the system of the public is less than 5,000 households, and if the system of the Hou is less than 5,000 households, there are also 1,000 people in an army, and the lieutenant leads it.

The grandson of the first seal of the great country called off the army, the great-grandson called off the army, and the descendants of the first seal of the second country also called off the army, and the rest were all based on the first army. There are 2,000 people in the middle army of the big country, 1,500 people in the upper and lower armies, 2,000 in the upper army and 1,000 in the lower army of the sub-country. For those who have not yet become a country, there are 100 people in the big country, 80 people in the sub-country, 60 people in the small country, and the county marquis and county duke are also like the small country system.

Under this premise, Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty divided the number of clan princes to twenty-seven:

Uncle Sima Fu was the king of Anping, his uncle Sima Gan was the king of Pingyuan, Sima Liang was the king of Fufeng, Sima was the king of Dongguan, Sima Jun was the king of Ruyin, Sima Tong was the king of Liang, Sima Lun was the evil king of Lang, the elder brother Sima You was the king of Qi, Sima Jian was the king of Le'an, Sima Ji was the king of Yan; his uncle Sima Wang was the king of Yiyang, his uncle Sima Fu was the king of Bohai, Sima Huang was the king of Xiapi, Sima Zhen was the king of Taiyuan, Sima Qi was the king of Gaoyang, Sima Heng was the king of Changshan, Sima Wen was the king of Pei, Sima Tai was the king of Longxi, Sima Quan was the king of Pengcheng, Sima Sui was the king of Fanyang, Sima Sui was the king of Jinan, Sima Xun was the king of Qian, Sima Kui was the king of Zhongshan, Sima Ling was the king of Beihai, and Sima Bin was the king of Chen, cousin Sima Hong is the king of Hejian, and cousin Sima Mao is the king of Dongping.

And these twenty-seven kings haven't even counted Sima Yan's sons:

King Sima Liang of Biling (born of Empress Wuyuan), Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui (born of Empress Wuyuan), Sima Khan of Qin Xian (born of Empress Wuyuan), Sima Jing of Chengyang Huaiwang (Aesthetic Life), Sima Xian of Chengyang (Xu Cai's Life), Sima Wei of Chuyin (Aesthetic Life), Sima Yi of Donghai Chong (Kuicai Life), Sima Yu of Shiping Ai (Zhao Cai's Life), Sima Yun of Huainan Zhongzhuang (Mrs. Li's Life), Sima Gai of Xindu Huai (Zhuang Bao Linsheng), Sima Yao of Qinghe Kang (Chen Meisheng), Sima Yi of Changsha (Aesthetic Life), Sima Mo of Ruyin Wai (Zhu Jisheng), Sima Ying of Chengdu (Cheng Cai's Life), Sima Yan of Wuxiao (Mrs. Li) Sima Hui, the king of Bohai (mourning the birth of the queen), Sima Chi of the Huai Emperor of the Jin Dynasty (Wang Cai's life), and Sima Yan (Zhao Meisheng).

It can be said that if Zhang Jiashi can have the clan power of Sima Yan at the moment, Zhang Jiashi may also be inclined to try the feudal system.

But at such a time now, Zhang Jiashi can't see that all the young sons who actually have no ability to govern are sent out, right?
