Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1907 The Han family’s own pit, either vulgar or elegant

Dahan Hussar General's Mansion.

"This is... Cochin? 』Liu Bei looked at the map hanging in the hall, and said with some uncertainty.

After the hustle and bustle of the stage play, it naturally entered the stage of substantive benefit distribution, and the benefit area that Fei Qian prepared for Liu Bei was in Jiaozhi.

Liu Bei frowned a little.Because the cochin that Fei Qian took out was indeed beyond Liu Bei's expectations.Liu Bei's original idea was that it might be Jingzhou, because Jingzhou is the gateway to the Central Plains, so Feiqian might need a gatekeeper, or Youbei, which is not bad, after all, Liu Bei's hometown is in Zhuojun, and the distance is not far away.

But Liu Bei never expected that it was actually cochin.

In the opinion of many people in the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi was not a good place. It rebelled from time to time and surrendered at other times. It was a virtue like Xiqiang.Since the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains were in turmoil, Zhao Tuo was guarding the south of the Lingnan, and Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and other places belonged to the Nanyue Kingdom, which was once out of the control of the Central Plains Dynasty. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Nanyue and established counties in this area. The Ministry supervised and began the substantive management of the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, but there were often rebellions after that, even during the period of Emperor Hanling, there was a rebellion.

It was Jia Cong who went to suppress the rebellion.After Jia Cong calmed down Jiaozhi, it was Shi Xie.

Why is Liu Bei aware of this matter, because the year when Jia Cong went to suppress the rebellion happened to be the first year of Zhongping...

A troubled year.

"There are nine counties here, Yulin, Hepu, Nanhai, Cangwu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhuya, Dan'er..." Fei Qian ignored Liu Bei's expression, pointed to the map and said, "Let's call them It is also the nine counties of Lingnan.Among them, the three counties are Sheng, Jiaozhi County is the head, there are ten counties, Leilou, Anding, Gouxi, Moling, Quzhang, Beidai, Jixu, Xiyu, Longbian, Zhuyuan... Jiuzhen County is next, There are counties seven, Xupu, Jufeng, Dupang, Yufa, Xianhuan, Wuqie, Wubian... Rinan County is the third, and counties five are Zhuwu, Bijing, Lu Rong, Xijuan, Xianglin... 』

"These three counties are all big counties, and you can set up a county guard to rule them, with a rank of two thousand stones.There is a Cheng, and there is a long history, who is in charge of soldiers and horses, and the ranks are all six hundred stones.It can be set up as a captain, which is also six hundred stones..." Fei Qian looked at Liu Bei and said, the meaning is very clear, these official positions are all radish pits, it depends on Liu Bei's attitude.

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Bei Wen Dan'er, Zhuya has been abandoned for a long time..."

This is indeed true, because the pioneering spirit of the Eastern Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Western Han Dynasty, so the courts were much more careless about the management of officials in the south of the Lingnan. It was eventually abandoned and no longer established county management.

Fei Qian smiled slightly and said, "How about Biyin Mountain?" 』

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment and remained silent.

Feiqian's earliest position was Shangjun, and Shangjun was also abandoned step by step during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and finally even the county government disappeared.With his own strength, Fei Qianneng subdued Shangjun little by little, even conquered Yinshan, and brought Shangjun Yinshan and other places back into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Could it be said that the two counties of Dan'er and Zhuya couldn't do the same?
"The ridge is surrounded by dense forests and bamboos, and the water is rushing up and down to hit the rocks. There are many vipers and beasts on the way. If it is hot in summer, mosquitoes, insects, miasma, and disorder will follow. Less than half of them..." Fei Qian said with a sigh.

Liu Bei couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Fei Qian, which obviously meant "you know it too".

"...However, the ancestors worked so hard and spilled blood on the southern border, and the future generations are unworthy of their descendants, and they lightly gave up..." Fei Qian turned around, "Xuande thinks, which is the fault?" 』

Liu Bei couldn't help but coughed twice, unable to answer for a while.

"Qian thinks that there are three reasons for the chaos in Lingnan..." Fei Qian didn't mean to chase after him fiercely. Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't answer, he explained it from a different angle. , Failure to find out its root causes the south of the Five Ridges to be turbulent and ups and downs.I don't know if Xuande is willing to hear the details? 』

Liu Bei arched his hands and said, "I also ask my lord to give advice." 』

Fei Qian nodded, looking at the map of Jiaozhi, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

To be honest, sometimes border chaos is a common problem of feudal dynasties, and it is self-inflicted...

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the three prefectures of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan in the sixth year of Yuanding, the Jiaozhi area became an inseparable and organic part of the multi-ethnic unified country of the Han Empire.

The above sentence is a standard term in textbooks, but Fei Qian feels that, in fact, starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi in Lingnan has planted the factor of rebellion.

The first confounding factor.

Real border defense.

The original intention of guarding the frontier was good, but what, Huaxia has too many good policies from the upper levels, and then they were distorted by the middle level who were unwilling to take any responsibility, and then they were bullied and crippled by the low-level executors. of……

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to further strengthen the rule over the southern border, he set up the Jiaozhi Governor's Department in the south of the Lingnan to provide unified political and military supervision. However, due to cultural differences, the government orders of the court did not go smoothly. It was popularized in Lingnan, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty emigrated to China with sinners living among them, learning books a little and knowing the language.Make post exchanges, watch and see rituals."

At the same time, in order to consolidate and strengthen the control of the southern frontier, the Han Dynasty also migrated a large number of inland residents to the Jiaozhou area to garrison and garrison, and cooperated with the local county soldiers to carry out armed deterrence.

"Targets have the benefits of living expenses inside, and there are defenses outside." Therefore, along with the strategy of Lingnan, the Han Dynasty also actively immigrated to "garrison" to consolidate the existing achievements, and also achieved certain results. During the several rebellions in Lingnan, these villagers guarding the real border also cooperated with the governor of Jiaozhou to quell several South Vietnamese rebellions.

Is it good?
It does look good.

But in practice?

The vast majority of these real border guards did not come here voluntarily, but were forced to migrate. During the migration process, how many family properties were deprived, family members died on the way, and then finally survived to the ground, and Facing double exploitation again, on the one hand, you have to pay labor to farm the fields, and most of the food you produce does not belong to you, and then you have to obey the deployment of military service, and take away from time to time to counter the rebellion...

"Who can inherit such an act?"And how not to resent? Fei Qian sighed, "The guarding people are also Han Chinese. It's fine if the Lingnan officials don't take care of them. They also pay more taxes and taxes, forcing them to be poor and have no livelihood. How can there be no change?"However, this creates new harm...」

The second factor that led to the border rebellion was the dispersion of soldiers.

In order to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty in the frontier, or because of cultural conflicts, or because of power struggles, or because of corrupt officials, or because of cruel exploitation, local rebellions occurred from time to time. At that time, even using the strength of the county soldiers guarding the border was of no avail. With nothing to do, they could only bite the bullet and report to the central court.

However, when the central court is still stable and has some spare power, most of them will punish these border officials while sending soldiers to carry out conquests.Another group of diaspora immigrants from the mainland imported from the border area...

Ma Yan under Fei Qian's command is a descendant of Du Liao General Ma Yuan.

Back then, when Ma Yuan commanded his soldiers to assess the so-called "Second March" Rebellion.As far as combat is concerned, there are actually not many high-intensity battles. "Aiding generals with more than [-] large ships and more than [-] soldiers, attacking the nine true thieves and conquering the remaining party capitals, etc., from nothing to the wind, More than [-] men were captured, Qiao Nan Xiping.” From this, it can be seen that Ma Yuan’s suppression of the rebellion did not meet much resistance, and naturally not many soldiers were lost in the battle. The number is huge, "Military officials died of miasma and plague during the [-]th Five-Year Plan".

And among these soldiers, some died of illness, and naturally a large part of them were unable to travel together because of illness when they returned to the army, and in the end they could only stay in the place and disperse everywhere.

"In the past, Ma Wenyuan accumulated stones as a pond, reaching Xiangpu, and built a gold mark as the border of Hannan..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Afterwards, more than ten families of soldiers from the northern bank were not allowed to return, and they lived in the south of Shouleng'an. The surname is Ma. Since the marriage, there have been more than two hundred households named Maliu. They speak and eat the same as Huaxia...』

"Soldiers who fight to defend the country, are sick and cannot return, but there is no reward, and there is no arrangement. Letting it go is like throwing away a broom!" Fei Qian patted it on the table, "A hot-blooded man, loyal and responsible, has ended up like this!"If things go on like this, who is willing to move to the Quartet? !Even a heroic northern man like Xuande frowned frequently at the frontier! 』

Liu Bei got sweaty on the spot, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This... Bei, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed..."

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "This is human nature, Xuande doesn't have to blame himself."Therefore, the chaos in the frontier is caused by the great Han himself, not the barbarians of South Vietnam!Drive the people without caressing, and make the dead without showing mercy!In this way, it is like the accumulation of dry firewood, and if there is a little firework, it will become a prairie fire! 』

Why do border wars sometimes become more and more difficult to fight? At first it seemed that only 20,000 people were needed to suppress the rebellion. Later, 100,000 people and 200,000 people were needed. Like the Xiqiang rebellion, it was fought for 40 years, and more than a million soldiers were used!
Where did those rebels come from?

Are they all native barbarians?
The Han immigrants did not settle down well, and because the Han people were more obedient, the barbarians were not very obedient, so they desperately exploited the obedient Han people, but for the barbarians who rose up to make troubles from time to time, they collected some symbolic taxes and even paid some benefits. , so as not to make too much trouble when I was in office, it would be difficult to get promoted...

As a result, the obedient Han people suffer even more?

Those who abide by the laws of the Han family are even more unlucky?

Then something really happened, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and the soldiers scattered on the border had difficulties, and they pushed two, five, six, regardless of this, and didn't know that, and even put on their official authority to coax them out .

What will happen when there are resentful people and resentful soldiers who know how to fight and have been on the battlefield?
As a result, this is not the end, there are even worse things.

The Han Dynasty also disliked that the frontiers were not chaotic enough, so they dug a third hole for themselves...

political exile.

Relocation to the wilderness and distribution to the frontiers is not the first in the Han Dynasty, but it is also a common method used by the feudal dynasties to punish the so-called "felony officials".

"Hanshu" records: "Yuan Shou five years, moved the world treacherous officials and people to the border. 』

Note the word "cunning" here.

In the subsequent Han Dynasty, such incidents often occurred.

In addition to relocating the "sinners" who violated the law from the lower classes of society to Bianjun, bureaucratic nobles and their wives, sons, and family members who were exiled to the area on a large scale or were demoted because of the failure of the political struggle or because of corruption and breaking the law, went to the court. The Tang also often ordered the "sinners" to be "thrown to the four descendants", that is, marginal areas like Xiqiangjiaozhi.

Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the dictatorship of foreign relatives and the rotation of eunuchs and foreign relatives, the government became increasingly corrupt. In order to compete for power, various political groups fought against each other, resulting in more children of the gentry. Power struggles lead to collective exile.

Are these "sinners" exiled to the frontier really guilty?
So how many of these "sinners" would accept the reform through labor arranged by the Han Dynasty with a devout heart and loyalty without complaint or regret, and strive to be a human being again, er, an official?
Obviously, this is unlikely.So, in the border, there are resentful people, angry soldiers, and criminal officials who have hatred for the Han Dynasty, and then what will happen?
A fool can guess it!
But the problem is that the top and bottom of the Han Dynasty don't seem to take it seriously!It's like throwing "garbage" at the door of the house and throwing it out of the window, and the "garbage" will disappear out of thin air without any follow-up matters or problems!
Of course, there is another kind of people in Cochin, that is, those who avoid disasters during wars.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and now, in the face of war, many residents of the Central Plains either actively or passively moved southward, and some of them naturally entered the Jiaozhi area. However, after the Central Plains were restored, many of these people also moved back, so the main The factors that caused the border unrest of the Han Dynasty were still the first three categories.

And it's all done by the big man himself...

From the perspective of the country, what is a policy, some laws, mainly used for?

To put it simply, it is used to maintain the rule and order, and it is also used to let the people know that it will be beneficial to obey the law. It's a loss, so what happens?
"That's why Xuande is the governor of Jiaozhou, so it's a big decision to straighten out these three! Fei Qian said slowly, "Punish rebels and reward obedience, choose the best and get promoted, why worry about injustice?" 』

Liu Bei also couldn't help sighing: "Listen to the lord's words, and you will know what happened, and you will also know why..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly, and then said: "Everywhere in Jiaozhou, the vulgarization of Jiaotu, the popularity of Xianglin, fire farming, the method is the same as that of China, fire in July, ripening in October, ripening in December, ripening in April, The so-called double-ripening rice.It also sprouts from the grass beetle, planted in the valley and the moon, and sooner or later, the edge of the plant is always beautiful without the moon, and it is always a rich soil...』

"Hepuhai also produces jewels, which are crystal clear and priceless, while Nichinan produces cloth, which is cool in summer clothes, free from oil and sweat, and soft and ripe, like makeup cocoon silk, which can protect against winter..." Feiqian pointed to the Jiaozhi map and said, "There is another thing that is easy to plant, a few inches in circumference, and more than ten feet long. It is quite like bamboo. It is sweet to eat when chopped, and it is like sweet soup when squeezed... There is also barley, which can lighten the body. Saving desires to overcome miasma, General Du Liao once drove his car into Chang'an... If you approach the tidal flats and surround them with water to boil, salty brine will be produced, and if you choose carefully, you can get snow salt, which is better than Sichuan and Sichuan well salt...』

"In addition, there is a seaport, which can be connected to the Great Qin Dynasty. There are many artifacts such as rhinoceros, teeth, mao, pearls, jade, gold, silver, horns, emeralds, and mountains, which can be used for taxation and trade for the benefit of China..."

Speaking of difficulties, of course we also have to talk about benefits.

Fei Qian talked eloquently, saying that the land of Jiaozhi is like a cornucopia. If Liu Bei doesn't go, it will be a great regret in the future.

Is Cochin really that good?

And it really is.Cochin is rich in products and has a seaport. Whether it is agriculture or commerce, it is a promising place.

Fei Qian has no place to lie about this.

Liu Bei took a long breath.

"In the land of Jiaozhi and Nine Truths, there are 52 Xiaoshui, paralleling 560 miles, and there are 180 Xiaoshuis paralleling [-] miles in Nichinan..." Fei Qian continued, "Although the miasma in summer is fierce, but if you divert water Down, you can avoid the evil also.From Rinan, the boat sails down, and there is Duyuan Kingdom, and after another four months, there is Yilumi Kingdom, and after more than [-] days of sailing, there is Jianli Kingdom, and after waiting for more than ten days to walk on the shore, you can reach Fugandulu Kingdom. .It takes more than two months to travel by boat from Fugandulu Kingdom, and there is Huangzhi Kingdom, whose folk customs are slightly similar to those of Zhuya...』

"All the countries in Linlin like to store gold and silver. The people are lazy and greedy. If they can sit and lie down, they will never stand up soon..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "The land is abundant, and there are always its people. Spread it randomly, let it go Long, there is still a lot of money to be gained...』

Liu Bei swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

These are not exaggerations. Even the aborigines in Southeast Asia who have evolved in later generations, there are still many people who are like this, let alone in the Han Dynasty?

Obviously, Fei Qian said that these countries that Liu Bei can't even remember after listening to them, the people are stupid, the money is rich, so go quickly.

Liu Bei kept struggling in his heart, and finally asked: "Dare to ask my lord, if this is the case, why don't you take it yourself?" 』

Fei Qian sighed slightly, and said: "Someone has the heart but is not strong enough... If so-and-so does not expand the Yinshan Mountain, Xuande thinks that if the court is full, who would like to go to Mobei?"If someone hadn't cleaned up Longxi, who would want to return to the Western Regions?All the princes in the world are fighting for power and profit, and who are the ones who open up territories? 』

Anyway, Cao Cao hasn't beaten Wuhuan violently yet, so what Fei Qian said right now is quite brazen.

Of course, it is also true.

Liu Bei nodded. No one can compare with Fei Qian in this regard. Even Gongsun Zan, who fought against the barbarians in Youzhou before, was more than able to defend the territory and not enough to develop.

Fei Qian beckoned, Huang Xu understood, turned around and brought out a lacquer plate from behind the screen, with the three big seals placed on it upright.

The big cake needs to be painted, and the actual benefits must also be given, and Fei Qian is also confident. With Liu Bei's personality, it is difficult to refuse...

As soon as the golden seal came out, Liu Bei couldn't help but be attracted to it, just like when a man sees a beautiful woman, he can't help but look twice more, it's almost a human instinct.

"Jiaozhou Inspector...General Anzhong, General Anyi..." Liu Bei recognized the seal characters on the gold seal almost instantly, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart, not for himself, but for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well For the rest of his staff.

If he agrees to be the governor of Jiaozhou, then the other two general positions will undoubtedly belong to his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei...

Are money and authority commonplace?
Yes.

But how many people in the world fight to death for money and power?
There is a saying that is true, the reason why you can travel lightly is because others carry the weight.

Carrying thorns on your back, come to do this performance, isn't it vulgar?
vulgar.

Everyone knows the vulgarity, but how many people are willing to put down their faces to do it?

Liu Bei also wanted elegance.

When Liu Bei was a teenager, he was able to be arrogant, pointing at this and saying that it was vulgar, that was vulgar, and he didn't even see anything in his eyes, it was all secular!
The world is all ordinary things done by ordinary people!

That's because Liu Bei didn't have any burden at that time, and his burden was on others.Guan Yu cut blood for him, Zhang Fei scattered all his wealth for him, Mi Zhu raised his sisters for him, and Sun Qian took care of the logistics for him...

Liu Bei only needs to smile gently, move his lips, draw a big cake, and gain the reputation of benevolence.

But in the end, can these nobility, these innocence, bring survival protection to himself, his family, his brothers, and his subordinates?Can you exchange for real food, drink, and use, instead of shouting every day that tomorrow will be better, that there will be buns tomorrow, and then rubbing your belly at night and falling asleep in the midst of hunger?

It's so vulgar to humiliate and endure humiliation...

So I whipped the governor, and then nothing happened, one day, one month, one year.

Then five years, ten years, 15 years!
Except for one of his left generals, who can be regarded as the "common position" personally conferred by the Emperor Han, he has nothing to do with his sleeves.In this time and space, Guan Yu didn't have the ambiguous past with Cao Cao that I had to talk about, so Guan Yu didn't have Hanshouting Hou or anything, let alone Zhang Fei, who was stunned.

As for the second general and the third general, they are just a title in Liu Bei's own army. In fact, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not generals at all. Strictly speaking, they are just white bodies.

Can Liu Bei now say that these official seals that Fei Qian presented are very vulgar and foul-smelling, and then he is very elegant and innocent and categorically rejects them?
Territory, position, army, authority.

Is it a vulgar way to bow your head to accept it, or is it an elegant expression that these are all vulgar things, and I don’t want them all?Do you silently bear the responsibility of your brother's subordinates on yourself, even if you are covered in mud, you walk over with a smile, or you still stand innocently on a high place, standing on the body of your brother's subordinates, without any vulgar things, and continue to tell about yourself dream, and let the brothers and subordinates persevere and persevere?
Confucius said, there is no confusion at forty.

And now, Liu Bei is forty, and he will not be confused at the end...

　I wish all book lovers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!
　　This chapter is also given to all book friends who are forty or about to be forty...

　　The middle-aged tacky and greasy brother and the nagging sister who can't be sick, tired, retreat, or fall back, would rather be covered in mud and bow their heads to face the dirty and vulgar things, just so that their family and children can look up at the sky cleanly...

　　I wish you good health and a happy holiday!
