Chapter 274: The Proper Use of the Great Wall

Wang Hongyu had already compiled a set of words for the apocalypse through Wei Zhongxian, and made Cai Fu surrender from the top level.

It's working well now~

With the care of the apocalypse and the support of Lao Wei, it is really twice the result with half the effort.

Wang Hongyu discussed the matter of Guizhou's reinforcements, and discussed with Cai Fuyi the future development and deterrence of the southwest.

Development is certainly a good thing, but without force as a deterrent, there will still be "zero yuan purchase" behavior that does not want to pay the cost.

Trading costs less, and stealing and robbing costs less than trading......

If the profit is 20% higher than the trade, there will be theft and robbery everywhere; If it is 50% higher, it will be desperate to loot in broad daylight...... 100% higher tramples on all morals and laws......

If it is higher than 300%, it is likely that it will not hesitate to directly cause chaos and war in order to compete for interests.

Therefore, it is necessary to have force, to have the strength to make the cost of plundering extremely heavy.

After thinking about it, no one is better at this matter than Cai Fuyi: "Mr. Yuanlu, how is the result of the Great Wall of Miaojiang?"

Speaking of this, Cai Fuyi is a real expert: "The completion of the Great Wall of Miaojiang by this official actually takes time and costs much lower than what the outside world says, because this Great Wall is not used for war, and its solidity is not special, but it is enough to take care of future generations for hundreds of years."

The Great Wall of Miaojiang is in the western part of Hunan Province, and this section of the side wall, also known as the "Great Wall of the South", is still preserved in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, and has become a famous tourist attraction.

Its fame is not great, its function is always misjudged, and its role is ignored.

Cai Fuyi, as one of the founders, spoke openly and honestly about its role at this time:

"The purpose of this wall is to limit the scope of seedlings and seedlings, standardize the trade locations of raw seedlings and mature seedlings, isolate small-scale armed fights and looting, and turn raw into mature and barbarians into men to the greatest extent."

The Great Wall was not meant to be used to fight, but to limit and regulate the other side.

The Miao did not have the strength to attack Huguang on a large scale, but small-scale raids would always destroy the lives of Han Chinese and naturalized mature Miao in neighboring areas.

Over time, the area near the seedlings was harassed, and the people could not settle down in stability, so the seedlings naturally maintained their own kingdom.

This is definitely not going to work, so it is necessary to stop small-scale looting, so that the seedlings have to trade under the wall, and the trade and exchanges are under the supervision of soldiers and horses.

After a long time, Sheng Miao is willing to have close contacts with the Han people, and is willing to be loyal to the government, which is ripe Miao.

When the mountains were opened up and the mature seedlings were willing to learn the Han people's life, clothing, farming, commerce, language and culture, their habits gradually became the same.

This is the role of the Great Wall of Miaojiang.

Since Cai Fuyi completed the most important part of Wanli in the 45th year of Wanli, there was no large-scale looting in the southwest of Huguang, and even in the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Miao people did not become chaotic.

It accelerated the Miao people's contact with the Han people and accelerated the local integration into the Ming Dynasty, which had a significant role in promoting Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo to resist the Qing Dynasty with the rise of Guizhou in the late Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Cai Fu saw that Wang Hongyu was concerned about the Great Wall of Miaojiang, he asked, "Does the Marquis of Dingyuan want to use a similar method for Sichuan-Guizhou Tusi?"

Guess half right, but the pattern is small~

"You don't need to deal with Chuanqian Tusi, because this time I will directly solve them. It was intended to be used further afield in Yunnan and Guangxi, as well as further afield in Annam and Wusizang. ”

These two places are Vietnam and the Tibetan Plateau, both of which were theoretically under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Listening to Wang Hongyu say these two places, Cai Fuyi was quite surprised by his mind, but he also felt that it was reasonable.

It's all the place of Daming~

"All you need to do is control the roads and key towns, then build border walls against hostile Tu people, regulate their trade, and limit their attacks, and with this strong southwest army as a backing, you will be able to gain a firm foothold and gradually increase your control."

Cai Fuyi knows very well what to do, in fact, if it weren't for the long road of Yungui and Guizhou, Annan would not have been able to break away from the Ming Dynasty and stand on his own.

Wang Hongyu continued to talk eloquently: "As long as Yunnan is stable, there is nothing to be afraid of at all, and Annan and Wu Sizang will inevitably return to their hearts,"

"Yunnan...... That's right, no matter how noisy the luxury family and Anjia are, they are also surrounded by Yunnan and Huguang, and it is impossible to be like Nurhachi, there is no threat in the rear. ”

This is the objective condition gap between Yu Chongming, An Bangyan and Nurhachi.

After Nurhachi's rebellion, only one side faced the Ming Dynasty, the Korean and Haixi sides on the flanks were weak, and the savages and Saurons in the rear were all the targets of his conquest and capture, rather than being surrounded.

The luxury family and the settlement family are surrounded, this is the status of Yunnan.

Wang Hongyu sighed: "I really want to thank Taizu and Chengzu, there are no two emperors who take Yungui, arrange the Mu family, repair the post station, and end the situation of the independent kingdom in the southwest since Nanzhao and Dali, we may not be able to start today~"

Cai Fuyi also sighed that even if the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty couldn't do it, the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty invested huge costs to make this situation in the southwest.

"Yunnan, Guichuan, and the clouds are at the forefront, not only because they are farthest, nor is it by any means that Yunnan is more prosperous than Sichuan, but that it plays a role in supporting the frontier and defending the interior at the far end, and its strategic position is in the front."

Cai Fuyi was happy to hear it, and it was the first time he had heard such an interpretation of Yun Guichuan.

But don't say it, that's really the truth.

He also came to be interested, and said metaphorically: "The Mu family of Yunnan, the governor of Yunnan and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, together with our army of Huguang and Sichuan and Guizhou, are like cutting boards and kitchen knives~."

Ambitious people such as luxury families and settled families are surrounded by many people, but they are just fish and meat on the chopping block. ”

"Hahaha~"

Both of them laughed, this kind of talk and interpretation is much happier than studying the fame of the imperial examination~

"Annan didn't stand up before, from a strategic point of view, because Annan stood out alone, and Yunnan and Guangxi had a weak foundation and could not support it."

Wang Hongyu suddenly grasped the key crux of the loss of Annan, and also pointed out how to solve it:

Cai Fuyi naturally could keep up with the train of thought and understand, and after thinking for a while, he stroked his long beard and analyzed:

"This time, the southwest will reorganize the pattern, Guizhou will greatly change the land and return to the stream, Yunnan and Guangxi will lay a solid foundation, and support the restoration of the Jiaozhi political envoy and the stationing of Wusizang with sufficient back-up support."

The two reached a high degree of consensus on this point.

Wang Hongyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "So Mr. Yuanlu, we are actually going to engage in the three-three-three system."

"Three-three-three?"

"That is, the southwest has three points of government, three points of Tusi, and three points of Tuntian. In this way, a united front was reached, with Tuntian as the rigid and the government as the soft, uniting the Tusi who were willing to cooperate and achieving cooperation with each other. ”

Wang Hongyu's planning is neither humble nor arrogant.

If the government and small peasant economy are carried out in one fell swoop, then it will not only offend the Tusi, but also be weak and unable to take action against Annan and Wusizang.

If you engage in the construction of military tuns, other types of tuntians or guards, although there is some control and combat effectiveness, the native guests and Han Miao in the southwest are all offended...... You don't have to do that at all.
