Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 547

In 236 AD, the 14th year of Jianxing, October [-]th.

In Beidi County, spring is long and autumn is short, and the climate is slightly cool in October.When it was dark, orange fire lamps were scattered in the Dazhai of the Han army to disperse the night.

Inside the camp, the lights were brightly lit, and the big man emperor was wearing a blanket and handling affairs at his desk.The eldest prince, Liu Zhen, was sitting next to him, reading "Laws of the Country" with a serious expression on his face.

At this time, Liu Chan was replying to Zhuge Liang's letter, talking about the reason why he went north to Hexi and asked Guanzhong to deploy cavalry to assist him.

"Since the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Maodun started on the grassland. Emperor Shigao first ruled the world and attacked the Xiongnu in the north. He wanted to end the situation of the grassland, but he was surrounded by Baideng Mountain. At the time of Wenjing, the Xiongnu invaded northern Xinjiang. We The big man has no choice but to put peace first and rest in peace with Shuofang."

"Fortunately, Emperor Xiaowu was a master of martial arts, the champion (Huo Qubing) and Changping (Wei Qing) were outstanding. They expelled the Xiongnu from Mobei and opened up thousands of miles in the northwest, so the Xiongnu could hardly cause chaos. So the great Han raised his power and the world rested in peace. The world is safe."

……

"Ke Bi Neng is dead today, Xianbei has no master, and the tribes are scattered and attack each other. This is a major change in the grassland that has not been seen in a century. If the big man wants to calm down the northern affairs, this is a good time. If you want to rule the world, or In ten or ten years, this good opportunity will definitely be lost, and when the big man sees Tan Shi Huai suddenly die, Kebi can recover."

"When the world is at the beginning of peace, there is a tendency for the Xianbei to rise again in the north. The big Han will rise up to fight against it again, and the cost will be even greater. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It can reduce the disaster of the grassland in the future, so I have to do it when I go north. Potential."

Just as the letter said, the current grassland situation is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for the Central Plains Dynasty.After all, throughout Chinese history, when almost any central dynasty rose, there were established nomadic peoples on the grasslands, such as the Huns, Turks, Liao, Mongolia, and Junggar.

But only when the Three Kingdoms were at the same time, since Ke Bineng's death, Xianbei fell into a split that lasted for decades.In other words, this is an excellent opportunity for the great Han to solve the grassland problem. If the great Han loses this opportunity and waits until the world is calm to solve it, then the powerful Xianbei tribe will appear on the grassland again.

"And there is a poem that says: Under the whole world, is there any king's land; on the shore of the land, is there any king's subject. I am the son of the Han Dynasty, Han, Hu, Xiao, Qiang, Di and other dozens of people in the world, living in the land of Huaxia , should be my people. The old man who lives in Guanzhong should advise the civil and military, take Wang Mang as a lesson, and don't despise barbarians."

……

The composition of the people in the Han Dynasty is complex, and no state has pure Han people, but a mixture of Han and barbarians.There are Nanman, Jian, and Qiang ethnic minorities in Yizhou, Han and Qiang in Longyou, and Hu people in Liangzhou.Therefore, for a long time, Liu Chan has been concerned about the affairs of Han and barbarians.

It is not complicated to deal with the ethnic groups mainly engaged in farming, but it is difficult to deal with the nomadic ethnic groups such as Qiang and Hu.A few years ago, Liu Chan wanted to imitate Zhao Guo's Hufu riding and shooting, and establish a suitable integration system for the big man, but he couldn't find a suitable breakthrough.

Now going north to join the alliance with the Xianbei and the Xiongnu tribes was not on his whim, but after several years of reference and thinking, he achieved a little success.It is planned to use the Hexi tribes as experimental sites to try to govern the nomads.

And Liu Chan wrote to Zhuge Liang because he wanted to unify the thinking between the monarch and his ministers, and it also explained why he changed the system of the Han Dynasty governing the Hu.On the other hand, Liu Chan also hopes to use Zhuge Liang's mouth to warn the officials of the Han Dynasty not to discriminate against Hu people. The official level must treat Han and Hu equals, and use Wang Mang's incident as a counterexample.

Wang Mang's governance of the ethnic minorities basically hit all the thunder points, destroying the ethnic relations that came from the second generation of Qin and Western Han.After Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the barbarians were basically governed with a loose ethnic policy, but when Wang Mang, it was replaced by a large nationalism and a strong oppressive policy, which aroused the resistance of the surrounding ethnic minorities.

For example, change 'Xiongnu' to 'Gongnu', 'Goguryeo' to 'Xiaguli', and 'Shanyu' to 'good at'.He also threatened ethnic minorities with force, and conquered Goguryeo, Nanzhong, Huns, and Qiang, causing barbarians from all over the world to conquer Xinmang.Even after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no turning point, and the border was still unstable.

It can be said that a big man can be proud of Han culture, but he cannot become conceited.In particular, the rule of the Han Dynasty is now based on a population environment in which the Han people are at the core and the barbarians are at the left and right.

In other words, the Han Dynasty is a monarchy under the feudal system dominated by the Han people and based on the integration of Han and barbarians.

The brush danced on the silk, and stopped abruptly after a while.

Seeing that the content of the letter was correct, Liu Chan shouted: "Come here, send this letter to the Prime Minister of Guanzhong urgently."

"promise!"

Liu Chan packed the scarf and silk, put it in a bamboo tube and handed it to the attendant.After seeing the attendants leave, Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to build an improved governance system for the Hexi Xianbei and the Huns.

Liu Chan held a brush and wet the tip of the inkstone on the inkstone, and picked up the pen to write the new two-level local governance system of Taoism and vassal state.

Since the Qin Dynasty, due to the large number of Rong and Di living in Longyou and northern Shaanxi, a vassal state and Taoist system were established in order to stabilize the local barbarians.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the system of vassal state and Taoism has not been a subordinate relationship, that is, the two are separated. Tao is a county-level administrative unit, which belongs to the county, and is mostly built on the basis of the Qiang and Di tribes, such as Didao.

However, the administrative unit of the subordinate state has changed a lot. In the Western Han Dynasty, the capital of the subordinate state was slightly lower than the prefect, and was controlled by the prefect; while in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prefect led the county, parallel to the prefect, and gradually turned the subordinate state into a county, such as Wen Mountain County was originally a subordinate state of Shu County.

However, the vassal states in the northwest region are quite different from those in the southwest region. Since the vassal states in the northwest region were based on nomadic peoples, when they were established, they were based on 'government according to customs' and only had the post of captain.There is no administrative management such as townships, counties, and roads in China, and it has a unique political system.

The official positions of the vassal state include the ranks of thousands of people and hundreds of chiefs, and these ranks are often held by the leaders of the tribe, but they are under the jurisdiction of the captain.That is to say, the basic governance system of the subordinate country is not controlled by the government, but only under the jurisdiction of the leader, and the leader obeys the orders of the captain.

This is also the original version of the Jiji system that later dynasties borrowed from.However, Liu Chan wanted to reform the governance system of the subordinate state and the Dao, but wanted to set up the Dao under the subordinate state to form a two-level local governance system, one level less than the three-level governance system of the prefecture, county, and county in the prefecture. Attached to the Hu people for in-depth governance.

The core essence of the new version of the Dao and State two-level governance system lies in the principle of 'dividing all feudalism into power'.Widely set up roads, but few countries.There is a "thousand people riding" on the road, "Guduhou" on the country, and a "hundred people riding" under the road.

The country is only a regular alliance organization of Taoism, which is composed of several Taoisms. It only has the power to supervise Taoism. The Marquis of Gudu has no right to interfere with the government orders of Taoism. Commander' trial.According to the habit of the Xianbei Jichunyue Conference, it is stipulated that each way will meet in Jichun every year, and the situation of each way will be supervised by the Marquis of Gudu.

As far as the country is concerned, there is also a captaincy, which is only served by Han and Qiang people.In his spare time, he was in charge of the drills of the tents in each way and each place, and supervised whether there were rebels in various places.In wartime, he led the way and the soldiers to go out.In the spring of Jichun, the League will be held to check the military preparations of the people.
