Liu Hou was inspired by these deeds of Lao ~ Maozi, and he also felt that no matter what kind of land it was, no matter how useless it seemed now, whether it was a bitter cold land or a barren land, even if it was the North Pole, it didn't matter, just occupy it first.

If you don't dig up the ground, you don't know what lies beneath the ground. In the future, when technology develops, you may find that all the treasures buried in the ground are treasures.

This is not a joke or YY, but a fact. In the 70s of the last century, geologists in the former Soviet Union discovered a diamond mine rich in diamond resources under a crater with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers in eastern Siberia, which is 10 times larger than the total known diamond reserves in the world, and can be continuously developed for up to 3,000 years.

You say, there is such a place, can Liu Hou not be impressed? Can you not grab it back? Where is Eastern Siberia? Aren't we a little further north? This is one of the reasons why Liu Hou asked Su Li and Jiang Wei to clear the grassland.

After talking about the necessity, he introduced to Pang Tong the way to overcome the "curse" of Tibet, which was nothing more than to let them gradually increase their altitude, adapt to it for a period of time every time they reached a new altitude, and then set off to the next target when the soldiers were in good health.

If Tibet is a unified country with an incomparably strong army, this method will definitely not work, and people will not give you this time to adapt at all, and will definitely take advantage of your illness to kill you.

However, the current situation is not at all the shape of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of Tubo is a plate of scattered sand, the most powerful tribe is only a few thousand people, and there are even fewer soldiers, such a force is no different from a three-year-old child in front of the Han army, and beating them is simply bullying people.

This is also the main reason why Liu Hou insisted on taking action on this place of Tubo so early, the current Tubo is a plate of scattered sand, and it is easy to subdue, if you wait for the tribes here to gradually grow and even unify, it will take at least a hundred times more effort to subdue.

In order to increase the attack power and deterrence of this army, Liu Hou allocated two regiments of fire~ guns and 100,000 thunderbolts to them. One can imagine how frightened the tribes in Tibet, who were still in a semi-primitive and semi-slave society, would be when they saw these weapons that could emit earth-shattering thunder.

Therefore, even after the Han army entered Tibet, its physical fitness decreased significantly, and the war was still won

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Li, as long as they still have the body to light the fuse of the thunderbolt and throw it out at a distance of ten meters and eight meters.

In fact, the battle could not be fought at all, and the Han army often threw a few thunderbolts, and those Tubo people were so frightened that they trembled and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, because they thought that the Han army was a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and could send out a deadly thunderbolt.

In order to reduce the consumption of materials, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong only sent 100,000 troops to fight in Tibet, and the remaining 200,000 troops were stationed in various strongholds adjacent to the Western Regions. Later, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong discovered that in fact, sending 100,000 people was still too much, and maybe 50,000 people would be enough to subdue the entire Tibetan region.

Because there was no decent resistance when entering the Tibetan region, many battles were often handled by only a few hundred people. A large number of men and horses are still consumed in the garrison of various important locations.

After all, in order to control a vast territory, it is always necessary to garrison troops in some important places, otherwise it is easy for some ill-intentioned people to cause chaos in these places and endanger the front-line troops.

Stationed a little here, a little there, and soon 50,000 horses were scattered to all corners of the Tibetan Plateau like beans. The process of the Han army's march was a process of scattering troops, but the process was very slow, and it took two to three years for the Han army to occupy the whole of Tibet.

The main reason for this is that the soldiers have to adapt to the highland environment, so the process of marching has been artificially slowed down. After the Han army conquered the whole of Tibet, a large number of Qiang people and some people of unknown nationalities were gathered and placed in various construction pastures for grazing, or processing agricultural and animal husbandry products in various processing plants.

Most of these people were originally serfs, and their lives in the past were very miserable, but now they live under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and their lives are much better than before, at least they can eat a full meal, which makes them not only not resent the Han army that captured them, but is grateful to the Han army.

With a large number of serfs as a base, it was much easier for the Han to govern the land. As for those serf owners, of course, they are the objects of dictatorship, and those who are obedient are okay, and they can participate in labor in the construction corps like other serfs, and those who are disobedient are directly clicked off, and they can also save a ration.

After subduing Tubo, Liu Hou ordered Pang Tong to divide this place into pieces of administrative regions according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, such as the entire Tubo region, and set up a prefecture called Fanzhou, and Pang Tong served as the temporary governor.

Of course, due to the sparse area here, the counties here are much larger than those in the Central Plains, but the population is much smaller, and the economy and output are much worse. As for the officials at all levels, they were all sent by the imperial court, and the system of liuguan was implemented.

Liu Hou opened the "Han Longteng Academy", cultivated a large number of cultural people, these people always have to give them a way out, for some young people who have a certain amount of merit, but not enough to take on a great responsibility in the Central Plains, Liu Hou personally met with them, flickering, oh, no, encourage them to contribute to the country, dedication to the country, and then send them to Fanzhou to serve as officials at all levels.

These young people are all hot-blooded young people, they are full of enthusiasm to serve the country, and as soon as they are encouraged by the emperor, they are easy to get enthusiastic and go to the bitter cold place to serve the country with high morale. Of course, Liu Hou will not treat them badly, their term of office is generally five years, and they will be transferred back to the Central Plains after five years, and as long as they do not make mistakes, their official positions can generally be improved.

Therefore, they go to these difficult places to serve the country, which is actually equivalent to a gilded process. In contrast to their gilding, there is another kind of official that is equivalent to exile. The Hong army has advanced rapidly in recent years, capturing many officials from Wei and Wu, and of course, some of them have taken the initiative to take refuge.

These people will be screened and examined by the relevant departments, and if they usually do a lot of evil, they will be judged, and finally get the punishment they deserve.

If they have not done evil but have mediocre qualifications and no talents, they will be demoted to the people and will no longer be allowed to hold official positions. For those who have good character, have not done anything bad, and have talents, they are included in the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that these people can't take up important positions immediately, and they still need to go through a period of ideological transformation, and then be sent to a bitter cold place like Fanzhou, or some frontier places to serve as magistrates for a period of time, and if they can make achievements in the future, they can be transferred back to the rich land of the Central Plains.

Of course, some particularly talented people do not need to go through such a "exile" process, such as Sima Yi, although he also needs to receive some ideological education, but he can always follow the emperor and give advice to the emperor.

If there is such a cow man, if he doesn't make good use of his talent, it would be too violent to exile him to the edge of the sky, Liu Hou is not so stupid. In fact, in addition to Sima Yi, after the fall of the Wei State, many famous ministers of the Wei State were also included in Liu Hou's pocket, and one of the famous figures was Chen Qun.
