Although the Daiguo was destroyed, the grassland power did not completely disappear.

In the huge grassland, there are still many Xianbei tribes, the Rouran people are quietly growing, and there are still Qigu people in the northwest.

Just as the Han Dynasty exterminated the Xiongnu State, new forces rose in the grasslands.

At the court meeting, Li Yueren hung up the map of Mobei, "From today onwards, we will set up the Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate, build the coast of the Beihai Sea and Yanran Mountain, and each station 5,000 Xuanjia cavalry, which will be rotated every five years, and Xie Xuan will be appointed as the protector of the Hanhai Prefecture." ”

It is impossible to completely control the grassland, but it is still possible to occupy the fertile land of the grassland.

Yanran Mountain has been the location of the grassland royal court since ancient times.

The North Sea is abundant enough to feed the army.

5,000 elite cavalry, which can basically beat the surrounding tribes.

In the future, the Xuanjia army can recruit a large number of soldiers of Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang descent to give full play to their hard-cold tolerance characteristics, and reward them with pastures, and naturally some people are willing to stay.

In the past, it was bitterly cold in the north, and it was difficult to leave people.

But now that the city is built and there are cotton clothes and quilts, it is not a big problem.

After so many years of research, Taixue has developed a complete set of methods to keep out the cold, such as kang, greenhouse, fireplace, fire wall, briquette, etc., which have been popularized and applied in eastern Liaodong.

Li Yue also planned to build an official road from Daizhou to Yanran Mountain, and build a dock fort along the water source, which could not maintain the rule of the face, but at least maintained a linear rule.

Through this line, the livestock of Mobei and various resources of Beihai were imported into the Central Plains.

Materials from the Central Plains can also be delivered.

Hearing that only 10,000 soldiers were stationed, the ministers did not object much.

With such a large pasture, the annual income is very considerable, and there is no need to guard against the southward raiding of the grassland tribes along the Yinshan Mountain, which virtually reduces a large amount of defense budget.

"The minister thinks that Mobei is vast, and a capital protectorate is not enough to govern, so when there is another superintendent in the west of Jinshan, once there is something in Mobei, the east and west roads can send troops at the same time." Huan Chong arched his hand.

Li Yue was stunned, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or an inevitability, the Tang Dynasty in history was also set up like this.

In Yanran Mountain, the Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate was set up, and in Tingzhou, that is, Luntai, the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate was set up.

Luntai was also an important town during the Han Dynasty.

The establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate can assist the Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate to clamp Mobei, and secondly, it can reduce the pressure on the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Qin State, so that they do not have to worry about the threat from the northeastern grasslands, and can develop westward with peace of mind.

Huan Chong's strategic vision is not bad.

The Turkic Empire and the Dzungar Khanate, which were at the height of their prosperity in history, all rose from the Jinshan Mountains.

"What do you think?" Li Yue asked Xiang Qunchen.

At the DPRK meeting, as long as someone makes a proposal, there will definitely be someone who opposes it.

Just like the pros and cons of a copper coin, any country will have left and right wings, as well as conservative forces and enterprising forces.

"Mobei and Jinshan are both bitter and cold places, and the imperial court has already run Liaodong, so why waste money and grain to garrison troops in a barbaric land thousands of miles away?"

"There is vitality in the country, and the national strength must not be wasted, the former Emperor Guangwu ruled the world, and the Western Regions sought to return, and the Guangwu was unstoppable, so it is reasonable."

"Your Majesty marched south the year before last, and attacked in the north this year, the soldiers have the pain of rushing, and the people have the worry of hunger and cold.

There are still many opponents.

In his words, he complained about Li Yue's reckless military force for so many years.

Li Yueneng listened to the opposing voices, and said calmly: "Those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain." Emperor Guangwu did not seek to desert the northern and western regions, causing the Xianbei and Qiang people to sit big, threatening the Middle Earth, and Beihai, Yanran, and Jinshan are not barbaric places, fertile fields for thousands of miles, herds of cattle and sheep, melons and fruits everywhere, the beams are not taken, and others take them, and then Rouran will rise, and more than 100,000 horses will go south at every turn, how much grain and soldiers' lives will the imperial court pay? Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous, you must not forget how the former Jin Dynasty perished. ”

The history of mankind is a history of war, most of the time is at war, peace and stability are in the minority, and behind every peaceful and prosperous era, crises are accumulating.

Even if these sites are not wanted, they cannot be given to others.

"There are some things that I must do, the border of Daliang is not only Middle Earth, but also grasslands and sea frontiers!" Li Yue was extremely resolute.

Regardless of the grassland now, in less than twenty years, new tribes will rise again, and then it will only cost more manpower and material resources.

After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the horse was released to Nanshan, and the swords and soldiers were put into the warehouse, and they died in more than ten years.

In Li Yue's view, peacetime is more dangerous for a country than wartime.

In times of war, the enemy is on the opposite side, and the whole body is united in hatred of the enemy.

In peacetime, the vigilance is relaxed, the mind is lax, the system begins to rot, and various crises gradually accumulate, and finally it is difficult to return.

Therefore, in the future, a certain country will always look for enemies all over the world and make an opponent for itself.

The emperor spoke, and the others shut up.

After thinking about it again and again, with Xue Qiang as the protector of the North Court, he recruited 7,000 Qiang soldiers to defend it in Guanzhong.

The year has come to an end again, with a few snowstorms and a new year coming.

Wang Meng suggested that Li Yue change the yuan and seal Mount Tai.

Li Yue really didn't have much interest in these red tapes, since he took the name of "Hongxing", Daliang was full of martial virtues, and the surrounding forces were basically defeated.

Although the Liang's armed forces have entered their peak, the national strength has not reached its heyday, and the meaning of Hongxing has not been completed.

"In the future, you don't have to change the era name, once you are a son of heaven, you can use an era name."

Every time the era name changes, there will be great changes, and there are many inconveniences in government affairs, government decrees, and calendars.

Now that Emperor Hongxing has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Li Yue is too lazy to change it.

"This is very good, there are many inconveniences in the change of the year name, but Your Majesty will restore China, seek peace in the north of the desert, recover the Western Regions, pursue Emperor Xiaowu, and seal Mount Tai can boost people's hearts." Wang Meng persuaded.

"Seal a Zen, a few months before and after, spend countless manpower, money and food, enough to fight a big war, such as today, although the treasury is empty, why bother with this false name? Whether it is good or not, the people have their own word of mouth. ”

Instead of sending tens of thousands of people to Mount Tai to seal Zen, Li Yue would rather stay in the harem.

Wang Meng smiled and said, "This is the meaning of the princes of the court. ”

"Don't go, the meaning of the king of heaven, I won't go." Li Yue waved his hand, anyway, it was a private occasion, and he didn't have to take into account the etiquette of the monarch and ministers.

Wang Meng smiled bitterly, "The princes are also one mind. ”

Li Yue said: "I want to build two capital protectorates, they push three and four to block, seal Zen Mount Tai and waste the people and money, one by one is so active, it is like putting the cart before the horse." ”

To rule by inaction and to rest with the people is to engage in less formalistic things.

"Your Majesty always worships the ancestral temple and comforts the ancestral gods...... "Wang Meng retreated and begged for the second.

To be honest, Li Yuezhen is not very familiar with the ancestors of the old Li family, so he came over halfway, "I have been unwell these days, so let the prince worship the ancestors on his behalf." ”

As soon as Li Yue goes, he will definitely make a big show and make it extravagant.

After thinking about it, forget it, let Li Jian mean it.
