Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 360 Turkic (4000)

In the 15th year of Taichang, that is, in 546 A.D., without Gao Huan in the original time and space, the most eye-catching people in the northern court were Chen Yuankang, the governor of Yongzhou, Wang Sizheng, the governor of Qinzhou, and Pan Lesan, the governor of Bingzhou. intermodulation.

Changed Chen Yuankang as governor of Bingzhou, Wang Sizheng as governor of Yongzhou, and Pan Le as governor of Qinzhou to prevent Wang Sizheng and Pan Le from sitting in Qin and Bingzhou.

Since Chen Yuankang was in Jinyang, Gao Cheng immediately appointed Fenzhou Inspector Xin Shu and Yi Xin Shu to replace Gao Longzhi as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Yubi City.

There are no natural disasters in the north, and the people are not subject to excessive expropriation, and the overall peace is relatively peaceful. With the birth of adults in the first year of Taichang, they are gradually distributed to the fields, and the productivity of the Kanto has been restored to a certain extent. It is expected that next year, the baby boom peak will be born Adults, Kanto productivity can be fully restored.

After five years of development, the Guanlong area is also a thriving scene.

Compared with the peace 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, on the Nanliang side, a shocking event broke out in the Jiankang court. Shangshu Zuocheng He Chenshangshu bluntly stated that Xiao Yan had four evil policies. Fortunately, the ministers rely on their power to exercise power and are good at domineering; fourthly, they build temples and wonders, which is a waste of money and people.

"Guanzi Mingfa Jie" says: "The reason why the ruler controls his subordinates is because of his power." '

Xiao Yan has been in power for 44 years since the founding of the country, and the officials are not ignorant of the deep evils and sharp contradictions in Jiangnan, but they dare not speak out. Xiao Yan has been immersed in the illusion that there is no civil strife in Jiangnan for many years.

Although Yizhou was captured by Yu Wentai, he accepted the Biao as a minister, and he could live with his face. He also had Chen Baxian put down the rebellion in Dingjiao, Germany, Ai and other states, and Luozhou (Huazhou) Governor Feng Rong's daughter-in-law, Gao Liang (Gaozhou, Guangdong) Prefect Feng Bao's wife, Lingnan slang leader Xian Ying regained Hainan. These good news seem to confirm Xiao Yan's views.

If Gao Cheng hadn't been training sailors in the north, I'm afraid Bodhisattva Xiao would sacrifice his life to become a monk at Tongtai Temple this year.

However, on April [-]th of this year, the pagoda in Tongtai Temple caught fire and the pagoda was destroyed. Xiao Yan ordered the reconstruction of the twelve-storey pagoda.

After Xiao Yan received the memorial, he could predict 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 with more trust.

Bodhisattva Xiao will be deceived by illusions because he lives in a deep palace and does not know the real 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 the time. Prince Xiao Gang wanted to follow him, but Xiao Yan once said, "Do it for yourself, don't make future generations laugh." 'That is to say, do what you want, just don't let the posterity laugh, he saw through Hou Jing's real purpose at a glance, and he let Xiao Gang contact Hou Jing only with a glimmer of hope in his heart.

In fact, Xiao Yan's faults are not limited to the above four, there is another one that He Chen did not dare to mention, that is, indulgence of the clan.

Xiao Zi, who caused the Lingnan area to fall into turmoil for six years, is still in the important position of Wei Weiqing, which is the best example.

Of course, the biggest evil policy is not these few, but the chaos in the money market, the wanton circulation of private coins, causing prices to boil, so Xiao Yan issued an order at the beginning of the year to use Zumo money nationwide, within a hundred days. If someone does not use enough money, he will be fined for three years of hard labor. The man will be sent to the frontier, and the woman will be mortgaged for labor and will be redeemed by her family.

After the promulgation of the edict, the gentry hoarded Zumoqian, and the amount of Zumoqian that could be circulated in the market decreased accordingly. If they did not use Zumoqian, they would be fined for three years of corvee. Therefore, in Nanliang, only 35 Wen of Zumoqian , it can be used as a hundred words.

And the gentry tyrants who had been hoarding before made a fortune even more, and the people at the bottom who ultimately bear the bitter fruit are not the people at the bottom.

In fact, even if Xiao Yan followed Gao Cheng's example and melted all the Buddha statues, he still had to meet the coins needed by the market, and the result was not much better.

The northern gentry were frightened by King Gao, and they dared not hoard the general’s five baht money to plunder the people’s wealth. After all, no matter how much you earn through this method, in the last house raid, all the profits and ancestral property will be returned treasury.

But the southern gentry is different. He is Bodhisattva Xiao, and he always has a bodhisattva heart for the clan and the gentry.

Forcing the folks to use Zumo money, without stopping the hoarding of coins by the gentry, 35 coins can be used as a hundred coins, and the gentry tyrants are allowed to plunder the wealth of the people wantonly by legal means. It is conceivable what the folks in Nanliang are like today.

Of course, maybe Xiao Yan didn't know about the hoarding of nobles and tycoons at all, and even a direct minister like He Chen didn't dare to mention a word.

As for Shu, although the governance has been on the right track, Su Chuo, Wang Zuozhi, who Yuwentai relied on most in government affairs, died of illness in Chengdu due to overwork.

Entering Shu in a hurry, there is already such a situation. Su Chuo's various suggestions on governance can be said to have made great contributions, and it can be said that he has devoted himself to Yu Wentai's death.

As for the suppression of the original Han people in Shu, it is also a helpless move. As a third-party external force, if they want to satisfy their interests, they cannot 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 majority of the population. Liao people who only account for a minority of interests.

In terms of the interests occupied by the Liao people, how can they meet the needs of Wuchuan Xianbei and the Han people in the north? Moreover, for the current Shu, stabilizing the Liao people is far more important than stabilizing the southern Han people. They are the main body of the Shu region during this period. As for the nation, as for governance, there are no northern Han people who followed Yuwentai to the south.

The pie is so big in a short period of time, and foreign forces will inevitably encroach on the interests of the aborigines. Yu Wentai has no option to ease the conflict between the Han and Liao like Xiao Ji. If he uses measures to appease the Han and Liao to protect their interests Not to be harmed by the Han people in the North and the Xianbei in Wuchuan, maybe the heroes in Wuchuan and the Han people in the North will have to elect a new leader.

This is also the reason why Gao Cheng first moved 30 households from Henan to Guanlong before moving Bingzhou Hu to the south, and left their farmland and houses to Bingzhou Hu. is the highest priority.

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 the same people. Before Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty crossed the south, the northerners called the southerners "raccoon dogs", and the southerners also scornfully called the northerners "fufu".

During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Lu Xun's grandson and Lu Kang's son Lu Ji was appointed as the governor of Hebei. One of his subordinate governors, Meng Chao, a northerner, indulged his subordinates in plundering. Governor? '

It can generally reflect the mutual discrimination between the northern and southern Han people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, not to mention the fact that more than 160 years after the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, people such as Yang Kan and Yang Yaren are in the minority after all, otherwise Yang Kan would not let the tribe go home, alone Cross the river and lower the beam.

Yu Wentai was not just governing in Shu, he was not conservative. Gao Cheng organized a navy in Luoyang, which convinced Yu Wentai that his southern recruiting front would give priority to Jiangnan.

After all, he took advantage of the emptiness and unpreparedness in Shu by conquering the territory of Shu. If Gao Cheng wanted to go south from Longshan, it would be difficult for Gao Cheng to do anything if he relied on the difficult and dangerous roads of Shu and guarded against death.

He firmly believed that Gao Cheng must have formulated a strategy of destroying Nanliang first, and then seeking Shu.

In the past six years, Yu Wentai has never let his ambition down, never slackened in training his soldiers, in order to take advantage of Gao Cheng's southern expedition, he went from Hanzhong to the Northern Expedition, and regained the old land. However, we have to close our doors in Shu and act as a small separatist regime.

If the Liao people who occupy the majority of the population are not in chaos, there will be no great turmoil in Shu.

On the contrary, if you win over the minority Han people and suppress the Liao people, once you go to the Northern Expedition, there will inevitably be wars in the rear.

At the same time, the situation in Mobei has also changed. In order to thank Gao Cheng for the news, Anayu donated a group of women from the original Gaoche country to go south, but he was unable to change the integration of the remaining Gaoche tribes with the Turks.

If he can completely wipe out the remnants of Gaoche, he will definitely not let the remaining [-] households live for so many years. In addition, the Turks are no longer a small tribe with only a few hundred households. The surrounding Chile tribe has already accumulated considerable strength, otherwise it would not be able to attract Gaoche Chile.

Also in this year, after the annexation of more than [-] households in Gaoche Chile, the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen secretly sent envoys to the south and arrived in Luoyang in the mid-winter of November.

Ashina Tumen heard that King Qi was greedy for sex, so they searched for beautiful women in the tribe in advance, and sent envoys to offer them to King Qi.

Gao Cheng secretly received the Turkic envoys in the other courtyard of the private meeting with Yuan Jiyan in the outfield of Prince Qi's mansion. The king of Wei Qi was naturally disrespectful to Ashina Tumen's kindness. He didn't know how to reject other people's kindness when he was young. .

It's just that Turkic women are not allowed to enter the Qi Palace, lest they be bumped into by Princess Zhuzhu or Tutujia, so Gao Cheng sent his confidantes to send her to Yaoguang Temple for resettlement. Anyway, this nunnery that used to support concubines in the Northern Wei Dynasty has long been a place for King Gao's licentiousness. Over the years, he has packed a lot of people into the clubhouse.

After accepting the Turkic woman with a smile, Gao Cheng accepted some other gifts from Ashina Tumen, and treated the Turkic envoy more cordially.

Seeing the heated atmosphere, the Turkic envoy also expressed his intention for coming. According to him, the Rouran people perverted and enslaved all ethnic groups in Mobei.

If the king of Qi can send troops to conquer Rouran in the north, the Turks are willing to respect the king of Qi as the lord of the grassland and respond with troops to resist the tyranny of Rouran. A fertile pasture was granted for the Turks to graze.

If Gao Cheng hadn't been familiar with the history of the rise of the Turks, he might have really believed the nonsense of the Turkic envoy.

But believe it or not, the information disclosed in it is enough to show that Ashina Tumen has made up his mind to rebel against Rouran in the future and compete with him for supremacy.

King Xiao Gao deeply sympathized with the fact that the people of all ethnic groups in Mobei were enslaved by the Rouran people. He was very touched by the generous gift presented by the door, but the love between himself and Princess Zhuzhu is priceless, and the matter of the Northern Expedition Rouran will not be mentioned again.

The Turkic envoy then mentioned that the tribal leader Ashina Tumen had a daughter who vowed to marry a hero since she was a child. The reputation of His Royal Highness King Qi spread to the grasslands, and she was deeply admired by her daughter.

Knowing that there will be an envoy going south to pay homage to the King of Qi, he asked his father to marry him to Luoyang. Ashina Tumen has always doted on this girl, so he sent the envoy to inquire about King Qi's wishes, and at the same time offered a gift from the Turkic tribe to His Highness King Qi. Highest respect.

I only hope that King Qi can not interfere and remain neutral 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 King Qi is really a brainless person who thinks that the Turks will help him, so he competes with Rouran for Mobei, it is not for nothing. Is it a big deal?

Hearing this, Gao Cheng had to scratch his head wondering why everyone wanted to be his father-in-law.

Not to mention how Ashina Tumen sent envoys to the south to let his daughter know, Gao Cheng didn't believe the so-called saying that his daughter asked Luoyang to marry him.

But if this matter is rejected, it will be a clear position between Rouran and Turkic. In case of going south, Turkic will make trouble for himself in the northwest direction, and the whole work will be troublesome.

But if you agree to welcome the daughter of Ashina's Tumen, how can you hide it from the eyes of Princess Zhuzhu and Tutujia? .

After thinking for a while, Gao Cheng wondered:
"I am very happy to be able to win the heart of a noble daughter, but I take Princess Zhuzhu as my first wife. If I accept a Turkic noble daughter again, my father-in-law will be angry."

This is to secretly express to the Turkic envoy that I am also willing to marry the daughter of Ashina Tumen and marry you, but I cannot say it publicly.

The Turkic envoy is not a fool if he can take on the important task of sending an envoy. He immediately understood what Gao Cheng said. The overlord of the grassland, Rouran is still in control of Mobei.

They hoped to get Gao Cheng's assurance that he would not interfere in the war in Mobei, and they did not want to turn against Rouran too early. After all, it would take time to digest the rest of Gaoche Chile's troops.

The envoy immediately proposed to make a marriage agreement first, and then send the daughter south after staying in Turkic for a few years.

Gao Cheng naturally readily agreed, even if the Turks sent their daughters to marry with drums and gongs in the future, there was no need to worry about Rouran's reaction. After all, the situation would really reverse at that time. , to prevent Rouran from being drawn in by the other party and causing trouble for herself.

But in this time and space, Ashina Tumen and Anaru compete to show their favor to Gao Cheng, in case this good son-in-law is partial to his side.

Gao Cheng made a private oath with the Turkic envoy, declaring that the matters on the grassland should be resolved by the grassland tribes themselves.

The Turkic envoy also expressed to Gao Cheng that he only needs His Royal Highness King Qi to watch from the sidelines, and the Turks attack and destroy Rouran, and they are willing to share the people of Rouran with him.

As for whether Turkic will keep his promise when that day comes, Gao Cheng has no hope at all.
