Han Shizu

Chapter 843 Shu Ding, Triumph
In the spring of Tokyo, thousands of flowers are blooming, peonies and peonies are in full bloom, and the fragrance of spring flowers faintly permeates the whole city.In the past two months, the focus of the work of the Emperor Han and the imperial court was still on the peace and order in the three provinces of Sichuan and Shu.

A large number of administrative and supervisory officials were transferred from the central and local governments to Sichuan, and the political system was widely distributed.The emigration of Shu people continued, and until March, 21580 households of Shu scholars and poor people had moved into Hunan.The tyrants and captives in Shu who participated in the rebellion also migrated to the Northwest with the troops transferred from the north to implement the decree of immigrating to the frontier, mainly infiltrating the Longxi area.

According to the plan of the Zhengshitang, 200,000 Shu people will be relocated to the north, mainly the rebels and captives in the chaos, supplemented by some poor farmers, and the original Shu soldiers.When the plan is completed, among other things, the hidden dangers of the Han court's rule over Sichuan and Shu will be greatly reduced.

The people who migrated to the north are all subject to semi-militarized organizational management, equalizing the fields, building forts and reuniting, not setting up villages, with a hundred households as regiments, subordinate to various military envoys everywhere, and managed by three elders and chiefs, basically by Pingshu Served as a low-level military officer.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be a "reversal" of history. Such an arrangement is tantamount to giving the military envoys certain administrative powers in disguise.However, the situation in the border areas is complicated. If you want to strengthen your control over the weak areas, you have to adapt to the situation and circumstances.

After being the emperor for so many years, Liu Chengyou has a deeper understanding of many ruling systems. As far as the Tang Dynasty's criticized Fanzhen Jiedu system was concerned, the original intention was definitely good when it was established, to facilitate the management of border areas. The containment of border troubles and the smoothness of military and political orders are just a lack of checks and balances and supervision, and they gradually get out of control, leading to endless disasters.

Liu Chengyou's ambition and desire for his homeland in the northwest can already be described clearly, but if he wants to open up westward, regain his homeland, and consolidate the frontiers, he has to loosen his shackles on the military administration of the western frontier counties.

Making Bianzhou like the hinterland states and counties will also cause problems. The Song Dynasty in another time and space is always alert to Liu Chengyou.In order to reduce or suppress hidden dangers, all he can do is to spend more time on supervision, finance and taxation.

In fact, as long as the imperial court has sufficient authority and strong strength, everything is not a problem.However, as long as the emperor is stupid and the government is in chaos, there will be no disasters of feudal towns or frontier troops, and there will be other chaos.

Therefore, Liu Chengyou is not afraid of driving "backward".

Time is the best sedative. After half a year of ups and downs, the court's rule over the Shu region can be said to be basically stable.In February, a group of old officials from the Shu Kingdom, represented by Quan Shixiong, Wang Zhongfu, and Ju Zhongzheng, came to the capital. Liu Chengyou personally met them. He returned to Sichuan and Shu, and served as a Daozhou official.Governing Shu still needs the help of talents in Shu.

Including Li Tinggui, the coach of the Shu army who was captured in Xixian when the Han army invaded Hanzhong, was also remembered by Liu Chengyou.When this gentleman was defeated in the past, he held his sword hanging in the air, and finally failed to commit suicide, which became a laughing stock for a while.However, it is not incomprehensible to be the only one to die in hardships since ancient times.

As the coach who led the army of the Shu Kingdom to fight against the Han Dynasty for a long time, he was not humiliated after being escorted to Tokyo.Liu Chengyou had known this person before, but he was actually not mediocre, and his official voice was not bad either. Compared with the luxurious bureaucrats in Chengdu, he could be regarded as a clear stream.

It seems that Han Jixun, a surrendered general, lost consecutive battles in Shu and made many achievements in Han. Therefore, one cannot judge a person's talents one-sidedly.The same is true for Li Tinggui. In all his performance in defending against the Han army in the north, except for some remote commanding by Wang Zhaoyuan, there are not many omissions in his decision-making against the enemy.However, in many cases, the correctness is only relatively correct, the general trend, no matter how hard you struggle, you will be defeated in the end.

When he was received by Liu Chengyou back then, Li Tinggui's attitude was quite submissive, but when Liu Chengyou asked him if he would like to work for the big man, he remained silent.Later, he replied that Meng's father and son were kind to him. He led the army to lose their teachers and lost their land.

For his answer, Liu Chengyou chuckled, but he didn't make things difficult for him, and rewarded him with some money and silk, let him live in Tokyo, and was not allowed to leave the area of ​​Kaifeng.When the Han army destroyed Shu last year, Meng Chang surrendered and his family came back. Liu Chengyou received Li Tinggui again. Now, without saying anything, this person took the initiative to express his willingness to serve the great Han. Liu Chengyou said that he knew Yuzhou Prefecture .

The other person is Wang Zhaoyuan. For this "famous" young Zhuge from Shu, Liu Chengyou was very interested in meeting him after he was taken to Tokyo, and re-enacted the battle of the Han army's Ping Shu with him.

This Wang Zhaoyuan can be regarded as a wonderful person, he is really not convinced, he has always felt that he was not guilty of war, and he can let go in front of Liu Chengyou, and he talks about his military strategy, and he is also eloquent.

After getting in touch with him, I discovered that this Wang Zhaoyuan is an extraordinary person, he speaks eloquently about national strategy, military tactics, and methods of using troops, and his theoretical knowledge is very deep and solid.However, the problem is that it is too much taken for granted. Many things are done without paying attention to the details, and just rely on subjective imagination.All in all, there is a serious disconnect between theory and practice, and it is too much rhetoric.

Combining Wang Zhaoyuan's command performance in Lizhou, and listening to his description from his perspective, it can be found that many of his judgments and decisions have his reasons, and they are quite convincing. His will is diverted, so that what he does and what he does wrong.

Fighting planes are changing rapidly. For General Yu, the judgment of the battlefield situation and the ability to capture fighters are much more important than the tactics recorded in books.Famous generals are all experienced. Wang Zhaoyuan has neither the prestige of governing the army nor combat experience.

However, in all fairness, Wang Zhaoyuan can also be regarded as a talented person. In the current era, how many people in this world can talk about the military strategy and justify themselves, even if it is out of reality, it is very rare.

Liu Chengyou was full of enthusiasm, and had the urge to turn waste into treasure, so he simply left him in the Chongzheng Palace to serve as a military counselor.Listen to his high-spirited talk, talk about military affairs on paper, and talk about governing the country, he will also, and occasionally can collide with some sparks of thought.
In the past few months, Wang Zhaoyuan has contributed three articles to Liu Chengyou, "Pingnan Policy", "Ping Liao Policy", and "Northwest Strategic Articles".

Taking his "Ping Liao Policy" as an example, Wang Zhaoyuan suggested to develop cavalry, strengthen the mobility of the Han army, prepare more bows and crossbows, practice square formations frequently, improve the ability of the Han army to resist cavalry, and send envoys to liaise and divide the tribes outside the Great Wall. , United Korea and a series of ideas.

However, Liu Chengyou only asked about how to divide, and when it was time to contact those tribes and other specific implementation issues, Wang Zhaoyuan hesitated.There are also Khitan's military and political system, deployment of troops, distribution of tribes, strength of strength, and conflicting relationships. Wang Zhaoyuan is also completely unaware of these situations.

Of course, the cold water did not dampen Wang Zhaoyuan's enthusiasm. He began to collect information, study and understand the specific situation of Liao Kingdom, and asked to send an envoy to Liao Kingdom. For this, Liu Chengyou expressed his encouragement and opened the door of convenience, maybe In the future, can Dahan have one more expert on Liao affairs?

In the middle of the spring season, the Han army, which had fought, defended, and quelled chaos in Shu for nearly eight months, finally returned triumphantly, and the squadron returned to the court. Under the leadership of the coach Xiang Xun, they returned to Tokyo.The troops that entered Beijing, except for the imperial army, were all meritorious soldiers from Pingshu, and there were more than [-] soldiers including the Southwest Army from Guanzhong.Among them, most of them have never been to the capital.

Liu Chengyou issued an edict to hold a city entry ceremony for the returning victorious teacher. Prime Minister Fan Zhi led the crowd to welcome him to show his respect.

With the return of Pingshu generals and the army, an issue has also been put on the agenda, that is, rewards and punishments for the merits and demerits of Pingshu soldiers.
