Chapter 465: Xiliang has another king

There are still many things to do in the days waiting for Lord Situ's arrival.

The top priority is naturally to step up the work of public security in Gaoping City and the repair and renovation of the Liangwang Mansion. In less than a month, if they want to build a new palace, the migrant workers do not have this ability, Zhao Xing does not have this ability, and the people of the world do not have this ability. Therefore, the Liangwang Mansion is destined to be smaller than the Jin Wangfu of the Jin Kingdom in terms of scale and magnanimity from the beginning. Although the Jin Palace, compared with the mansion of Zhao Xing in Crouching Tiger City, has fallen behind, if it is compared with the General's Mansion where Ye Xiong and Zhang Ji lived in the past, it can already be regarded as magnificent.

Since we have completely controlled Didao, the largest city in Longxi County, why not set up the Liangwang Mansion on Dong Zhuo's mansion? This has to be considered from a geopolitical perspective.

Longxi County is located in the southwest corner of Liangzhou, in the northwest of it is Jincheng County, which has always been a high-incidence area for Qiang people to rebel against the Qiang; in its southwest corner is Wudu County, adjacent to Youfufeng in the Sili area and Hanzhong County, Guanghan County and Guanghan vassal state in the northwest of Yizhou; and directly west of it is the area where Baimaqiang and Cunzhongqiang live in a concentrated manner. In terms of the current geographical location, Longxi County is located in the area west of Lanzhou and Tianshui in Gansu Province, next to Qinghai and Tibet, and the so-called Baimaqiang and Cunzhongqiang are the later Tibetan ancestors.

Dong Zhuo can set up his nest in such a dangerous place, the reason is that his family is located in the area of Longxian County, and he has dealt with the Qiang people in this neighborhood since he was a child, and has subdued the hearts of the nearby Qiang people. At the most glorious time of that year, more than 50,000 of the 100,000 cavalry under the command of General Zhenxi came from the Qiang people of Longxi, Jincheng and Wudu counties. Dong Zhuo set up the old nest in Di Dao, which could occupy the geographical advantage and the convenience of people, but Zhao Xing, who came to the top later, did not have such convenience, so he could not set up the Liangwang Mansion here.

Liangzhou has ten counties, two subordinate states, and ninety-eight counties, so why did Zhao Xing choose the location of Liangwangfu in Gaoping City, Anding County, which is located in the middle of Liangzhou? (Gaoping City is near Guyuan, Ningxia in later generations) because this place is almost the same distance from Gaonu in Shangjun of the Jin Kingdom, Chang'an in the Sili region, Guzang in Wuwei County, and Didao in Longxi County. Zhao Xing set up the Liangwang Mansion in Gaoping, which could not only get timely and powerful support from the Jin State, but also quickly gather troops to reach Guzang, Chang'an and Didao and other areas, which was a military important place from a high position.

Regarding the establishment of the Liangwang Mansion in Gaoping City, Zhao Xing did not consult with anyone, nor did he report to the imperial court. He just made a few gestures on the map with his finger when Tai Shici asked for instructions, and then completely settled the matter. His seemingly inadvertent finger poke and poke directly determined the future fate of Liangguo, and it was also destined that Gao Ping was originally known as the "first city" of Liangzhou, and from now on, it really lived up to its name.

Liu Yu, who came to Liangzhou with Zhao Xing, and his former officials, although they had not yet formally taken office, had already begun to exercise some powers, and with the assistance of Huang Xuanshi, who had already been stationed here, and the second batch of 10,000 troops of the vanguard army, they began large-scale urban renovation, population management, and the restoration of agriculture, animal husbandry, and commerce.

Gaoping City, which was originally dilapidated because of the war, was immediately regained its vitality because of the 20,000 Jin troops with strong spending power and a large number of well-informed Jin merchants.

Although he knew that the father-in-law would not believe his nonsense, Zhao Xing still smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away before Wang Yun was about to arrive in Gaoping. The last time he bargained with Wang Yun in Jinyang City, Zhao Xing had fully understood the truth that his own people were the best at "slaughtering" his own people, so this time he said that he didn't plan to meet Wang Yun in Liangzhou. All the things that he bargained with the imperial court, he threw them all to Liu Yu and Tian Feng, the two old foxes.

Zhao Xing took the blue wolf army led by Guo Jia and Tai Shici to the Jincheng area, which is more than 200 miles away from Gaoping, where to drill the troops, and prepare to have a "red and blue" military exercise with the Ma family army led by Ma Chao.

In fact, Zhao Xing also had an ulterior purpose, that is, he was investigating the situation of the Qiang people around Jincheng on the spot, and prepared in advance for the next large-scale Pingqiang plan. In Bingzhou, after his deliberate support and suppression, only the three nomadic tribes of Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng and the Southern Xiongnu remain. In the next step, after he returned to the Jin Kingdom, he would negotiate with Yu Fuluo, Hu Chuquan and Ulan and other leaders representing the Southern Xiongnu to completely abolish the title of Southern Xiongnu. The new title Zhao Xing has already thought of, and in the future, the Southern Xiongnu and the Liaodong Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes belonging to their accounts will be collectively referred to as the "Yaoxing" clan.

"Yaoxing" clan,This title alone is a hundred times better than the Xiongnu,Of course,The key is that there is a deep sinicization mark in this title。 The word "Yao" represents the "Yao" emperor among the five emperors in ancient times, and the word "Xing" represents the meaning of prosperity, and it also implies that Zhao Xing's name is in it. Based on the current relationship between the Southern Xiongnu tribes and the Jin State, Zhao Xing believed that they would be happy to use the new name.

The ancients' emphasis on titles stems from the belief that "if the name is not right, the word is not good". Once Zhao Xing agreed to the use of the new title "Yaoxing" by the Southern Xiongnu tribes, it meant that the Southern Xiongnu would gain the same political status as the Huang Xuan and Yan Sheng tribes in the future, symbolizing that they had fully integrated into the Jin family.

For the Qiang people in the Xiliang area, Zhao Xing already has a preliminary solution. In addition to the usual means of suppression and appeasement, Zhao Xing also prepared to implement a policy of large-scale immigration, moving a group of Qiang people who were active in the western part of Liangzhou to Mobei, and then a group of Xianbei people from Mobei to the Longxi area. The advantage of this is that it can create a general environment in which various ethnic groups live together and limit the possibility of ethnic minorities joining forces to rebel against each other. The difficulty is that it takes a long time and requires a consistent and stable resettlement policy and a variety of financially expensive welfare benefits.

Just when Zhao Xing was worried about how to properly dispose of the Xiliangqiang people, Wang Yun finally led a large-scale delegation to Gaoping City. Last time, Wang Yunxing went north to Jinyang alone, and as a result, he brought back a lot of benefits. Because of the relationship with Zhao Xing, Wang Yun himself also received a large number of gifts from the Jin Kingdom, and the family behind him also lived a more nourishing life in the Jin Kingdom. Seeing that Wang Yun had gained so many benefits, many families in Luoyang City couldn't sit still, and sent their families to follow behind the envoy and arrived in Gaoping City together.

After meeting with his old friend Liu Yu, Wang Yun heard that Zhao Xing had gone to Jincheng to train the army, so he had to stroke the long beard on his chin with a wry smile, and said with some emotion: "My filial son-in-law, I'm afraid that he won't dare to see me, so he found a reason to hide!"

Tian Feng, who was with Wang Yun, was also an official in Luoyang City back then, and Wang Yun was also an old acquaintance, after hearing Wang Yun's words, he explained with a smile: "Lord Situ laughed, Lord Lieutenant is indeed busy with official business, and now he is going to Jincheng, but he wants to find out the details of the Qiang people who are accustomed to rebellion in the local area, and he wants to completely eliminate the Qiang people who threaten the root of the Han Dynasty." ”

Wang Yun nodded, and said calmly: "Whether it is the Liang Kingdom in the next step, or the Han Dynasty, if you can eradicate the stubborn disease of the Qiang people, it will also be a great achievement. In this matter, I support Zhao Guochang. ”

The few short words between the three of them still revealed a lot of meaning. Liu Yu said that Zhao Xing was not in Gaoping City, which meant telling Wang Yun that he would be in charge of the negotiations this time; Tian Feng called Zhao Xing a lieutenant, but did not mention the somewhat taboo title of Zhao Taifu in front of Wang Yun, indicating that the Jin State was unwilling to have much trouble with Wang Yun; and Wang Yun said that he supported Zhao Guochang in quelling the rebellious Qiang people, which could be regarded as showing that he did not want to come to Liangzhou to find fault with others this time.

After getting used to seeing the various factions in the court fighting each other, fighting openly and secretly, and deceitful to me, Wang Yun, who had passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, gradually had the heart of retreat. At the beginning of the year, Liu Yu and Wang Yun had a conversation on Jiguan, although it did not make Wang Yun change much at that time, but Wang Yun often remembered it afterwards, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Even Liu Yu, a relative of the Han family, can see through what the so-called orthodoxy of the Han family is, and Wang Yun is not stupid, so he naturally understands that the so-called orthodoxy is just a fig leaf used by the family to maintain their own interests.

Since he doesn't have the intention of being an emperor, and since Zhao Xing has the ability to govern the world well, why should he, Wang Yun, do his own desperate efforts to block it?

Because Wang Yun's attitude has changed, the process of coming to Liangzhou to canonize Liu Qian this time is relatively simple and easy, and many of the negotiation arguments that Liu Yu and Tian Feng originally carefully prepared did not come in handy, so Wang Yun decided to canonize the matter three times and divided it by two.

Since Wang Yun was so knowledgeable, in order to prevent Zhao Xing's father-in-law from being attacked when he returned to the imperial court, Liu Yu took the initiative to put forward some suggestions to compensate the imperial court. The most important of these are three aspects:

The first is to ensure that the war horses produced in Liangzhou in the future will be given priority to the three armies of the imperial court (the Northern Army, the Southern Army, and the Imperial Forest Army), and the price will be much more favorable;

Second, the Liang Kingdom will try its best to open up the originally blocked "Silk Road" in the future, so as to ensure that the merchants of the Western Regions can safely pass through the jurisdiction of the Liang Kingdom and arrive smoothly in Luoyang, Kyoto, and sell the exquisite items produced by all countries to Luoyang, and at the same time take away a large number of surplus goods in Luoyang City;

Third, Liangguo will retain a very limited number of troops, which will only be used to ensure internal security and stability, and will not pose a threat to the central army of the imperial court stationed in the Gyeonggi area.

In fact, if you carefully analyze the preferential conditions proposed by the above three Liangguo, each of them is a bait with toxins.

Needless to say, the first article was to pave the way for the Jin State and the Liang State to dump war horses into the imperial court in the future; the second article was a foreshadowing for the future sale of the goods produced by the Liang State to the states of the Han Dynasty under the guise of trade with the Western Regions; the third article was even more nonsense, and the limited number of troops retained in the territory of the Liang State was of gross use, and wouldn't it be a good thing for you to station a large number of troops in the territory of the Jin State? Aren't the so-called Liang Kingdom and the Jin State both Zhao Xing's territory?

The proposal of this third article made Zhao Xing laugh privately for a long time. Because he remembered that in his previous life, when his homeland negotiated with a certain superpower, the representatives of the two nuclear power clubs solemnly promised each other with a solemn face: "We will not aim nuclear weapons at each other first!"

Nima, that thing shouldn't take more than half a minute if it's set up, what's the difference between this kind of promise and no promise?
