Chapter 358: The Turks (4000)
In the fifteenth year of Taichang, that is, in 546 AD, there was no Gao Huan in the original time and space to knock the jade city, and the most eye-catching thing in the northern court was that Gao Cheng transferred Chen Yuankang, the assassin of Yongzhou, Wang Sizheng of Qinzhou, and Pan Le, the assassin of Bingzhou.
Chen Yuankang was changed to the history of the state assassin, Wang Sizheng was the history of the Yongzhou assassin, and Pan Le was the history of the Qinzhou assassin, so as to prevent Wang Sizheng and Pan Le from sitting in Qin and the two states.
Because Chen Yuankang was in Jinyang, Gao Cheng also immediately replaced Gao Long's post as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry with Xinshu and Xinshu, and Xue Xiuyi, the history of Jinzhou, was reversed with Huazhou Assassin Shi and went out of Huayin, that is, Yubi City a few years ago.
There are no natural disasters in the north, and the people have not been subjected to rampant expropriation, and the overall tranquility is relatively peaceful, with the first year of Taichang giving birth to adulthood, successively distributed to the fields, the productivity of the Kanto region has been restored to a certain extent, and it is expected that by next year, the peak of the baby boom in the second year of Taichang will be born into adulthood, and the productivity of the Kanto region will be fully restored.
After five years of development, the Guanlong area is also a thriving scene.
Compared with the tranquility and tranquility of the Yuan and Wei dynasties, the south is obviously much more lively, and there are all kinds of news.
First of all, in the Southern Liang side, a terrifying event broke out in the Jiankang court, Shangshu Zuo Cheng He Chen bluntly said that Xiao Yan had four evil policies, one of which was a large number of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people were unbearable; second, to allow officials to be corrupt and extravagant; Third, the fortunate ministers used power and were good at power; Fourth, the temple wonders were built in Guangzhou, and the people were injured and the money was lost.
"Guanzi Ming Law Solution" cloud: "The reason why the master controls his subordinates is also powerful. ’
Xiao Yan was founded for forty-four years, and his power was extremely heavy, and the ministers were not unaware of the depth of the shortcomings and sharp contradictions in Jiangnan today, but they did not dare to say it clearly, Xiao Yan has been immersed in the illusion that there is no civil strife in Jiangnan for many years.
Although he was attacked by Yuwentai and took Yizhou, he was called a minister, and he could get by on his face, and then Chen Baxian put down the rebellions in Jiao, De, Ai and other states, and there was Luozhou (Huazhou) assassin Shi Feng Rong's daughter-in-law, Gao Liang (Gaozhou, Guangdong) Taishou Feng Bao's wife, and Lingnan slang leader Xian Ying recovered Hainan, these good news also seem to confirm Xiao Yan's views.
If it weren't for Gao Cheng's great training in the north, I am afraid that Xiao Bodhisattva would have to sacrifice himself to become a monk in Tongtai Temple this year.
However, on April 14 of this year, the floating map of Tongtai Temple caught fire, the pagoda was destroyed, and Xiao Yan ordered to rebuild the twelve-layer floating map, which is also the direct reason why Shangshu Zuo Cheng He Chen resolutely went up.
After Xiao Yan received the recital, it was foreseeable that he would not be in a good mood, after all, someone woke him up from his dream, but he did not punish He Chen for this, but treated him more seriously.
Xiao Bodhisattva will be deceived by illusions because he lives in the deep palace and does not know the true situation of the people, but he is not old and confused.
When Hou Jing besieged Taicheng, he pretended to ask for peace talks to delay time, and the crown prince Xiao Gang wanted to obey his invitation, but Xiao Yan once said, 'You do it yourself, don't make future generations laugh.' That is, you have to do it, just don't let future generations laugh at it, he saw through Hou Jing's true purpose at a glance, and only had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he let Xiao Gang contact Hou Jing.
In fact, Xiao Yan's faults are not limited to the above four points, and there is another one He Chen did not dare to mention, that is, indulging the clan.
Xiao Shi, who plunged the Lingnan region into six years of turmoil, is now in a critical position in Wei Weiqing, which is the best example.
Of course, the biggest evil government is not these articles, but the chaos of the currency market, the wanton circulation of private money, resulting in the boiling of prices, so Xiao Yan issued an edict at the beginning of the year that the whole country can use Zumo money, limited to 100 days, if there are still people who do not use Zumo money after 100 days, they will be fined for three years of hard labor, men are punished to the frontier, and women are mortgaged for labor and redeemed by their families.
After the promulgation of the edict, the scholars hoarded Zumo money, and the amount of Zumo money that could be circulated in the market decreased, and if they did not use Zumo money, they would be fined three years of forced labor, so in Nanliang, only 35 Wen Zumo money could be used as 100 Wen.
And the wealthy people of the scholar clan who hoarded Juqi before took advantage of this to make a windfall, and it was not the bottom public who finally bore the bitter fruit.
In fact, even if Xiao Yan learns from Gao Cheng to melt all the Buddha statues, he has to meet the coins needed by the market, and the result is not much better.
The northern scholars were frightened by the king of Xiaogao, and they categorically did not dare to hoard the general's five baht money, so as to plunder the people's wealth, after all, no matter how much you earn through this method, the last raid of the house, the profits and ancestral property were all returned to the treasury.
But the southern scholar clan is different, he is Xiao Bodhisattva, and he always has a bodhisattva heart for the clan and the scholar clan.
Forcing the people to use Zumo money, and not curbing the hoarding of coins by the scholars, the thirty-five Wen can be used as a hundred Wen, allowing the Shi clan to wantonly plunder the wealth of the people by legal means, what kind of scene is the folk of Nanliang now, you can imagine.
Of course, maybe Xiao Yan didn't know about the hoarding of the nobles at all, even if it was a direct minister like He Chen, he didn't dare to mention half a sentence.
In Shudi, although the governance has been on the right track, Su Xuan, the talent of Wang Zuozhi, whom Yuwentai relied on the most in government affairs, died of illness in Chengdu due to overwork.
Rushing into Shu, there is already such a situation, Su Sui's suggestions in governance can be said to be a great contribution, and it can be said that Yuwentai has done his best to die.
As a foreign third-party force, if you want to meet the interests of your subordinates, you can't unite with the southern Han people, who only account for a minority of the population, but account for the majority of interests, to suppress the bureaucrats who occupy the majority of the population and only account for a minority of interests.
In terms of the interests of the bureaucrats, how can they meet the needs of Wuchuan Xianbei and the Han people in the north, and for the current Shu land, it is far more important to stabilize the bureaucrats than to stabilize the Han people in the south, they are the main ethnic group in Shu during this period, as for governance, there are not also the Han people in the north who went south with Yuwentai.
The cake is so big in the short term, foreign forces will inevitably encroach on the interests of the aborigines, Yuwentai does not have the option of easing the contradictions between the Han and the bureaucrats like Xiao Ji, if he appeases the Han and the bureaucrats to protect their interests from the Han people in the north and the Xianbei in Wuchuan, maybe the heroes of Wuchuan and the Han people in the north will have to elect a new leader.
This is also the reason why Gao Cheng will first move 300,000 Henan households to Guanlong before moving Hu Nan, and leave the acres of houses they left behind to Hu Bingzhou.
As for the Han people in the north and the Han people in the south, although they are of the same race, they are not all the way, before the Yongjia Nandu of the Western Jin Dynasty, the northerners scolded the southerners as 'raccoon dogs', and the southerners also contemptuously called the northerners 'fathers'.
In the rebellion of the eight kings in the west, Lu Xun's grandson and Lu Kang's son Lu Ji was appointed as the governor of Hebei. ’
It can generally reflect the mutual discrimination between the Han people in the north and south during the Wei and Jin dynasties, not to mention that more than 160 years after the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, such as Yang Kan, Yang Yaren and others are a minority after all, otherwise Yang Kan would not let his subordinates return home and cross the river and descend to Liang alone.
Yu Wentai is not just governing in Shu, he is not a conservative character, Gao Cheng trained sailors in Luoyang, so that Yu Wentai was convinced that his southern conscription will give priority to Jiangnan.
After all, he attacked and occupied Shu, it was a good thing to get the emptiness and unpreparedness of Shuzhong, and if Gao Cheng wanted to go south from Longshan, it would be difficult to do anything under his own reliance on the difficulties and dangers of Shu Road and strict defense.
He firmly believed that Gao Cheng must have formulated a strategy to destroy the Southern Liang first, and then seek Shu land.
In the past six years, Yuwentai has never fallen into his will, and has never slackened off in training his soldiers, in order to take advantage of Gao Cheng's southern expedition, he himself from Hanzhong to the north, and recover the old land, which is also the reason why he desperately won over the Shu bureaucrats, he never thought of closing his door in Shu and being a small separatist regime.
If the bureaucrats who occupy the majority of the population are not chaotic, there will not be much turmoil in Shudi.
On the contrary, if you win over the Han people of the minority faction and suppress the bureaucrats, once you go on a northern expedition, the rear will inevitably be full of smoke.
At the same time, the situation in Mobei has also changed, and in order to thank Gao Cheng for the news, Anapu gave a group of women from the former Gaoche country to the south, but he was powerless to change the confluence between the rest of Gaoche and the Turks.
If he can completely exterminate the remnants of Gaoche, he will never let the remaining 60,000 households survive for so many years, and the Turks are no longer only a small tribe of hundreds of families, but forged iron for the Rouran people, after nearly a hundred years of absorbing the surrounding Ele tribes, it has already accumulated good strength, otherwise it will not be able to recruit Gaoche Ele.
It was also in this year that after annexing more than 60,000 households in Gaoche, the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen secretly sent an envoy south and arrived in Luoyang in the middle of winter in November.
Ashina Tumen heard that the king of Qi was greedy, so he searched for a beautiful woman among the tribes in advance, and the envoy presented the king of Qi.
Gao Cheng secretly received the Turkic envoy in the courtyard of the outfield of the Qi Palace's private meeting with Yuan Jiyan, and the Great Wei Qi King was naturally disrespectful to the kindness of Ashina Tumen, and he didn't know how to refuse the kindness of others when he was young.
It's just that the Turkic women can't enter the palace of the Qi Dynasty, so as not to be bumped into by the worm princess or the bald princess, so Gao Cheng sent his henchmen to send them to the Yaoguang Temple for placement, anyway, this nun temple that used to support concubines in the Northern Wei Dynasty has long become a club for the desolate and promiscuous club of King Xiaogao, and over the years, he has stuffed a lot of people inside.
After laughing at the Turkic woman, Gao Cheng accepted some of the other gifts from Ashina Tumen, and treated the Turkic envoy more kindly.
The Turkic envoy saw that the atmosphere was hot, and also expressed his intentions, according to him, the Rouran people in Mobei perversely, enslaving all ethnic groups, and the steppe tribes had many resentments and misery.
If the king of Qi can send troops to the north to attack Rouran, the Turks are willing to respect the king of Qi as the lord of the grassland, raise troops to respond, and resist the tyranny of Rouran.
If Gao Cheng hadn't been familiar with the history of the rise of the Turks, maybe he would have really believed the nonsense of the Turkic envoy.
But if you don't believe it, the information revealed in it is enough to show that Ashina Tumen has made up his mind to rebel against Rouran and compete with it in the future.
King Xiao Gao was deeply sympathetic to the fact that the people of all ethnic groups in Mobei were enslaved by the Rouran people, and at the same time, Gao Cheng also said that Rouran Khan Anapu was the Yue Weng he was determined to love with his life.
The Turkic envoy then said that the tribal leader Ashina Tumen had a daughter, who vowed to marry a hero since she was a child, and the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Qi spread to the grassland, and was deeply admired by his daughter.
Knowing that there would be an envoy going south to visit the King of Qi, he asked his father to marry to Luoyang, Ashina Tumen had always doted on this girl, so he asked the envoy to come to inquire about the King of Qi's intentions, and at the same time offered His Royal Highness the King of Qi the highest respect of the Turkic tribes.
I only hope that the king of Qi can be able to maintain neutrality without interference when the grassland tribes resist tyranny.
In fact, this is the real purpose of the Turkic envoys going south, the so-called persuasion of the Northern Expedition is just a try, if the king of Qi is really a head without roots, he thinks that he has the help of the Turks, so he competes with Rouran for Mobei, isn't it a big bargain for nothing.
Gao Cheng had to scratch his head when he heard this, why everyone wanted to be his father-in-law.
Not to mention how Ashina Tumen sent an envoy to the south, how could he let his daughter know, Gao Cheng didn't believe the so-called statement that his daughter asked to marry Luoyang.
But if this matter is refused, it is to make a clear position between Rouran and the Turks, in case when they go south, the Turks will make some trouble for themselves in the northwest, and the whole work will also be troublesome.
But if he agreed to come down and welcome the daughter of Ashina Tumen into the door, how could he hide the eyes of Princess Worm and Bald Jia, if he really wanted to do this, the previous Turkic beauty would not need to be sent to Yaoguang Temple to avoid people's eyes.
After a little thought, Gao Cheng was embarrassed:
"I am overjoyed to be able to win the hearts of the noble daughters, but I take the worm princess as my wife, and if I accept the Turkic nobles to enter again, I am afraid that the uncle will be angry."
This is to secretly poke and poke to the Turkic envoy to express that I am also willing to marry the daughter of Ashina Tumen and marry you, but not openly.
To be able to take on the important task of envoy, the Turkic envoy is naturally not a stupid person, he immediately understood the meaning of Gao Cheng's words, for the Turks, the title of the daughter of Ashina Tumen is not important, and the current Turks are not the overlords of the steppe in later generations, and it is still Rouran who controls Mobei.
They hoped to get a guarantee from Gao Cheng that he would not interfere in the war in Mobei, and they didn't want to turn against Rouran too early, after all, it would take time to digest the rest of Gao Che's army.
The envoy immediately proposed to make a family affair first, and then send the woman south after a few years.
Gao Cheng naturally agreed happily, even if the Turks beat gongs and drums in the future to send their daughters to marry, there is no need to worry about Rouran's reaction, after all, the situation will really reverse at that time, in the original time and space, the Eastern Wei and Western Wei vied with each other to curry favor with Rouran, preventing Rouran from being co-opted by the other party and causing trouble for himself.
And this time and space has become Ashina Tumen and Anapu competing to show favor to Gao Cheng, in case this good son-in-law is biased.
Gao Cheng made a private oath with the Turkic envoys, declaring that the affairs of the steppe would be resolved by the steppe tribes themselves.
The Turkic envoy also told Gao Cheng that as long as His Royal Highness the King of Qi watched from the wall, the Turks would attack Rouran and be willing to share the Rouran tribe with him.
As for whether the Turks will keep this promise on that day, Gao Cheng has no hope at all.
4000 first, and two more chapters in the evening.
Thanks to the book friend Wuxian in the distance, Deng Binyi, the words are insincere, and the reward is boring to guess.
