Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2069 Hu Han Planning, Northern Territory Protector

  Han Hussar General Mansion.

When the gentry in Shandong, and even most of the people in the Han Dynasty focused their attention on Jingzhou, thinking that Jingzhou would involve the whole world, in Chang'an, Guanzhong, Fei Qian led the gentry in Shanxi to look to the future, to a more wide world.

When Fei Qian convened the discussion, most of them thought that they wanted to discuss matters related to Jingzhou, but to everyone's surprise, Fei Qian didn't say anything about Jingzhou at all. Sima Yi personally re-measured and drawn the northern border map of the Han Dynasty.

  Although it looks a bit sketchy, and there are still some discrepancies with the location signs in Fei Qian's impression, it may be the only map of northern Xinjiang that is most suitable for military use and the most accurate.

  『Chirp, blah, blah…』

  Everyone couldn't help talking in low voices.

  Xun You stood up, opened the volumes of documents on the table one by one, and showed them to everyone while reporting to Fei Qian.

In order to cope with the arrival of the Little Ice River, and at the same time to stabilize the authority over the existing desert control, Fei Qian asked Xun You to formulate a series of plans for farming in the north, in areas suitable for farming but relatively sparsely populated, such as Shuofang, In Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other places, a certain amount of land was planned to be used to facilitate the subsequent farming and animal husbandry of Han and Hu people, as well as mutual markets within a certain range.

According to Xun You's calculations, if they operate normally, these farmlands can reach a preliminary balance of income and expenditure in about three years, and within the next five years, they can basically achieve the role of supplementing local construction and stabilizing border stability, and then In five to ten years, it will become a new economic growth point, providing food, grass and war horses for the Han Empire...

  The Han Empire.

   A whole new vocabulary.

  Every time they heard this word, everyone present could not help but straighten their backs even more.

  Empire, in a narrow sense, is used to describe a powerful country ruled by an emperor, and in a broad sense, it is used to describe a country with strong national power, not limited to a monarchy.

  Empire is not an inherent vocabulary of traditional China, but a new word born in the process of cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The Chinese people's habit of expressing their own national community is princes and dynasties, so at the beginning, these subordinates of Fei Qian were not used to it...

However, Fei Qian used the events of the Western Regions to show these Shanxi gentry that the Wusun Kingdom is now being fought by the governors of the Western Regions, and when there is a Guishuang Empire, these Shanxi gentry naturally accepted the "Empire" the concept of.

   Even Guisun, huh, Wusun’s miniature is called a kingdom, but I, a big man, should be an empire anyway.

   As for why not China?

hehe.

  Everyone looked to the left, looked to the right, they understood what they understood, if they didn’t understand, they went to the side to play in the mud...

  Back to the issue of the Hu people and farming in northern Xinjiang.

According to Hussar General Fei’s latent Hetao area, as for the enlightenment experience of the Southern Huns, as long as they are Huns who are willing to naturalize, there is no special need to reject them to a certain extent, because these years have proved that the Southern Huns no matter where they are Raising horses, grazing cattle and sheep, and recruiting for battle can all be useful supplements for the big man.

The biggest problem for the Hu people is that they are vacillating. They are easy to flatten and then rebel. Everyone becomes an enemy, or in the end they are all enemies.

In the Hetao area, whether it is farming or the enlightenment of the Southern Huns, they all reflect a thriving situation. The overall economic investment in the Hetao area is decreasing year by year, while the output is increasing year by year. The officials, after seeing Xun You's report, couldn't help but praise it.

   That is to say, for a long time to come, as long as Hussar General Fei potential policy does not change in the northern Hetao area, the Hetao area will become a new food and grass supply point...

According to Xun You's optimistic estimate, this growth point will reach its peak when the population reaches about one million, and then the output may begin to decline due to the overpopulation. Now, it is still halfway, which means that there is still more space...

  The key is that this model can be promoted!

  Anything that is forewarned will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned.

For the development of the entire northern territory, it is impossible to wait until the population of the Hetao area is overwhelmed before carrying out other area development. Since Hetao to Youzhou are basically within the jurisdiction of Feiqian, the northern area of ​​Dahan will be gradually reorganized. Resuming production and development has become the overall goal for the next ten years or so.

Fei Qian looked around for a week, and then said: "Xu Gonghe observes the sky at night, and calculates with the calendar of Qianxiang, there will still be snow disasters in the next five to ten years..." Actually, it should be twenty years, or even thirty years, but really If so, I'm afraid they are all desperate.

  『Snowstorm? ! The meaning of the lord is... just like the beginning of this year? Wei Duan couldn't help asking.

No wonder Wei Duan was nervous. After all, this time the Guanzhong gentry could be said to have lost their wives and lost their soldiers. On the one hand, the natural disaster itself caused Zhuang He to fail to harvest. I got stuck in the pigtails, and had to pout my **** and get beaten up again...

  The executor is Wei Duan. So now Wei Duan is more or less trapped in Zhu Bajie's situation of looking in the mirror, not being human inside and out. Hearing that the natural disaster similar to this year will come again, naturally his scalp tightens and his hands and feet feel numb.

   Fei Qian nodded slightly.

  Everyone couldn't help whispering and discussing.

  The Qianxiang calendar is still in the process of adjustment, but it does not prevent Fei Qian from taking out Xu Yue's flag first. Because of the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the overall weather is very abnormal. Even if the Qianxiang calendar is perfect, it is still powerless in the face of such abnormal changes. Forcibly promoting it will only lead to a decline in the prestige of the new calendar. It is better to wait. After the weather has stabilized for a period of time, it will be fully rolled out.

  In view of the lack of historical records and the frequent battles between the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, later generations can only find a few words in the description of the major battles about the weather conditions at the end of the Han Dynasty...

  The severe cold is encountered in Guanzhong, so it will be even more severe in the desert.

  Hu people encounter snow disasters, there are only two ways, one is to wait for death, and the other is to rob, and transfer their own disasters to others.

  The mild climate that has lasted for three to four hundred years has kept the desert from reaching a desperate situation. In history, when the Han defeated the Xiongnu and Xianbei, defeated Xianbei and still had Wuhuan, defeated Wuhuan and still had Rouran, how many people, how many livestock, and how many tribes gathered in the desert? Clearly, even the kings of the desert may not be able to understand.

  After the Three Kingdoms, the Five Husbands and Chinas after the Three Kingdoms, to a certain extent, are the mutual killings and disaster transfers of these Hu people. Sima's **** are one thing, but being able to attract so many barbarians into the arena at that time also shows that there are actually far more barbarians in the desert than Fei Qian had imagined before.

Sima Yi sat at the side, and suddenly felt Fei Qian's gaze. There was some coldness in his eyes, and he couldn't help shivering. When he carefully looked up, he didn't see anything unusual. He only heard that Fei Qian was slowing down. Slowly said:

  『From this year onwards, all Hu people who want to avoid the snow disaster and enter the northern Xinjiang will follow the half law. Sima Zhongda...』

  Sima Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "The minister is here." 』

  『Let’s introduce the situation in northern Xinjiang...』

  『The minister takes orders. 』Sima Hui stood up, walked to the middle, and took Xun You's place.

   "Half law", as the name suggests, is half of the law.

   It is difficult for barbarians to communicate, and it is difficult for barbarians to understand complex laws, so try to use a simple model as much as possible.

In view of the long-standing conflicts between the Hu people and the Han people, when the Hu people had to go south to seek refuge due to the snowstorm, the most important task was not to ensure that the Hu people were fed and clothed immediately, nor was it to help them in the short-term Instead of resuming production within a short time, we must first weaken the strength of these Hu people to ensure that the tribes of the Hu people are suppressed safely, quickly and thoroughly, and control the vast territory of the Han.

Thanks to the suggestion of a so-called Confucius and Mencius University in later generations, it proves that when dealing with foreigners, blindly talking about Confucius and Mencius' treatment will not work at all, and it will only let the barbarians make progress. , only an honest and obedient barbarian can be considered a good barbarian.

  So how can the barbarians be obedient?

   First of all, it is to weaken the power of the Hu people.

  All Hu people who entered the territory of the Han Dynasty to escape the snow disaster must turn in half of their population and livestock. Then, half of the number of people and livestock turned in will become the direct profit of Fei Qian, who will be transferred to mercenaries or labor labor under his command, and the rest will be added to the tuntian soldiers under the jurisdiction of the local tuntian school lieutenant. For farming and grazing, half of these turned-in people and livestock will be returned within five years, and the rest will be returned after ten years. Those who are willing to go back go back, and those who are willing to stay and continue to be mercenaries are fine.

   To put it simply, the Hu people want to use their population and livestock as a "deposit" in exchange for a piece of land that can be settled in the northern border of the Han Dynasty.

   Most of them are not willing to accept the payment. It seems easy to nod the deposit.

In most cases, these barbarians in the desert are more capable of surviving than the Han people. As long as the livestock don’t die, these barbarians can continue to live. Relief for them, it will fatten them up and starve us Han people, the result is self-evident. Therefore, in this mess in the desert, we must first suppress the Hu people by force to weaken their strength, and then use agriculture, commerce and animal husbandry to gradually begin to mix Han and Hu people, educate the Hu people, and finally Sinicize the Hu people to achieve the goal of using Hu people. Control Hu, the ultimate goal of permanently controlling the desert.

  『If…』 Du Ji frowned, 『The barbarians may speak harshly and refuse to obey, so what should we do? 』

  Sima Yi sneered, seemed to understand why Fei Qian had cold eyes just now, and said slowly: "Then hit the barbarian and have to follow!" 』

  『My lord Wei Wei, General Zilong is brave...』 Sima Yi arched his hands to Fei Qian, and then said proudly, 『The horses of Youbei, three thousand chased north, broke the royal court twice...』

  If it wasn't for the Hussar General and other big bosses present at the scene, Sima Yi couldn't help but want to poke his waist for a while, but he broke himself...

Of course, Sima Yi did have such a proud capital. The two winter battles against the Xianbei royal court not only proved that the hussars had the ability to fight in cold winter weather, but also completely broke the original pattern in the desert. As a result, the entire desert has completely fallen into chaos, and there is no longer a tribal group that can compete with the big man.

In addition, Fei Qian sent people to contact the tribes in the desert before. After the Xianbei power weakened, all the monsters and snakes appeared in the desert. At this time, under the merger and reorganization of the Hu people, there will inevitably be many Small tribes are overwhelmed and tend to go south.

Although the "half law" is quite harsh for the barbarians, it is better than being annexed by a large tribe, not to mention that it will be returned gradually after five years, so that the "deposit" seems relatively small Easy to accept.

   Feiqian nodded to Sima Yi, indicating that Sima Yi could end the topic.

   Then Pang Tong stood up, touched his fat chin, and then began to talk about the follow-up treatment after the Huren internal attachment...

  After the Hu people are attached, they will mainly be enlightened, so that the Hu people will change from Pan to belonging.

The vassals are easy to understand, but the standard of ownership is that they have fought for the great Han for many years, have made great achievements in battle, have made great contributions, clothed the Huaxia, talked about the Huaxia, and Wen Huaxia. Han people enjoy roughly the same standard of treatment as Han people.

  Since they are the people of the Han Dynasty and abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty, they are protected by the army of the Han Dynasty. Even if there is a disaster, the Hu people do not need to worry about their own survival. The Dahan Congress will help them, will ensure that they have enough food and clothing, will ensure their safety, enjoy lower taxes than the Pan family, and get the "best" transaction discount...

  The feudal vassals are generally in the transitional stage, so naturally there is no way to enjoy the so-called "best" treatment.

  Of course, the term "best price" is naturally created by Fei Qian.

   So far, the overall strategic framework for dealing with the barbarians in the desert has basically been determined.

First, by sheltering some Hu people who were squeezed and violated, and then through these Hu people, a group of relatively naturalized Hu people was established, and then through various means, the Hu people in the entire desert voluntarily or semi-voluntarily He became a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

  Then through enlightenment, export Chinese civilization, and then reorganize those who are willing to belong, and for those who continue to be unwilling to belong, they will cut down the feudal clan under the right opportunity...

   Perhaps a severe drought, or a heavy snowfall, may become an opportunity to cut down the domain. At the same time, within five years, Mobei will gradually establish a new institution, the "Northern Territory Protectorate", to control and maintain the rule of the entire Northern Territory of the Han Dynasty.

  『Northern Protectorate? 』Everyone could not help but look at each other.

  『It’s just like the old affairs of the Protectorate of the Western Regions...』 Fei Qian said indifferently, 『He is in charge of the military administration of the Northern Region and coordinates the rules of the various domains. For details on the location and position of the Protectorate, please refer to the Protectorate of the Western Regions...』

  Pang Tong added with a smile: "Since the Han has the Protector of the Western Regions, why can't he have the Protector of the Northern Regions?" What's more, the Hu people are fickle. If they want to surrender today, they will not surrender tomorrow if they can't say it. Could it be that only a few civil servants and a book of canonization can calm the desert? If the Northern Territory protector can be established, the great Han will never have a shortage of war horses! 』

  As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, everyone couldn't help talking.

Regarding the management of Mobei, the Great Han originally had General Duliao, or the previous positions of Feiqian, General Huxiong Zhonglang, and Captain Huwuhuan, etc., but it is obvious that the so-called Duhufu's powers, compared with these The generals and lieutenants are bigger.

The Duhu Mansion can even send troops to suppress and cull dissident vassal Hu tribes if they feel it is necessary. Military operations can only be launched after obtaining the approval of the Central Court of the Great Han Dynasty.

  Within the jurisdiction of the Duhufu, the Duhufu can flexibly handle any matter that involves the safety of the great man, which naturally restrains and deters the vassal Hu tribe to a certain extent.

The Protectorate of the Northern Territories will adopt the model of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The soldiers used will be recruited at a ratio of one to one, and at most one to three. , one-third came from the Han mainland, and two-thirds came from the local Han people.

Regardless of belonging or vassal status, the tribes are young and strong, and they must serve in the Han military service. This can properly control and weaken the strength of the tribes, so that the strength of the Hu tribes in the northern border of the Han Dynasty can be gradually balanced, so as to prevent a certain Hu tribe in the northern border from If the tribes are too large, there will be hidden dangers, even rebellion and other problems.

In order to avoid conflicts among the various tribes of the Hu people in the desert to the greatest extent possible, and reduce friction and struggle among them, Xun You proposed to use Hetao, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other places as benchmarks to divide the land of the desert. The general scope of the project can then be resettled according to the specific situation of the Hu tribe...

"There are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, so it is difficult to achieve a climate. Even if there are repetitions, they will stop in the Western Regions..." Xun You said slowly, "There were Xiongnu first in Mobei, and then Xianbei. dominant. Therefore, the Protector of the Northern Territory should set up six kingdoms and separate twelve kingdoms, each with a big king and a small king. First, he will be canonized by the Xijing Shangshutai of the Great Han Dynasty. If it is Anshun, it will be reported to the court after five years in exchange for a golden seal...』

Xun You also introduced some specific governance policies, such as matters concerning agriculture and animal husbandry, commodity trading, and daily restrictions, etc., as well as some such as the location and opening time of the mutual market, the selection of vassals and the ownership of the heads of various tribes of the Hu tribe. His children went to Pingyang Academy, and even Chang'an Qinglong Temple Academy for further study and so on.

  『When the Han is strong, the Hu will be weak; if the Han is weak, the Hu will be strong. Fei Qian concluded, "Loyalty and benevolence are the virtues of the Han family, how can they be lightly tolerated by Hu Man?" Under the iron and blood, there are rules, and the rules can only be educated, and only after enlightenment can one be attached, and the people who are attached, begin to talk about benevolence. Don't put the cart before the horse! 』
