After Spring and Autumn

Meng Di also knew about Yiqu. They now occupy the entire Hetao area. He remembered a saying that the Yellow River is full of harm, but only rich.

Yiqu was able to rely on this place to compete with the Qin State, and even once defeated the Qin State. Such a vast place is in the hands of foreigners, which is a very important threat to the current Han State.

After Meng Di thought about it for a while, he made a decision, so he spoke.

"Tiao Boren went to Yingdu to guard, and asked Mr. Sun to come to Chang'an. Fan Li, you led the troops into Yiqu. You must complete your service in one battle, completely defeat Yiqu, and go all the way west. It is best to take the Hetao area. "

"Only in this way can we directly send merchants to the Western Regions to trade, increase the court's tax revenue, and also play a vital role in stabilizing the old land of Qin, so after you send troops, Fan Li."

"Don't be too anxious, you must be careful every step of the way. As long as you can win the Hetao area, it will be a great achievement. I will wait for the good news of your victory and return in Chang'an City."

He did this because he wanted to enter the Western Regions through the Hetao, and control this trade route in his own hands. The Central Plains has a long history of trading with the Western Regions. Later, during the Qin Shihuang period, the well-known businessman Wu Shiluo made his fortune by doing business with the Western Regions. Big fortune.

So this business path is very important, Fan Li nodded after listening, and Meng Di turned to Peng Ji and said.

"You were seriously wounded in Taolin Sai last time. I wonder if there is any obstacle now?"

As soon as Peng Ji heard this, he knew that Mengdi wanted him to go out with Fan Li, and his face immediately showed excitement. He knew very well in his heart that now that the Han army is strong and horses are strong, there is no need for him at all. These soldiers and horses inside.

The reason why Mengdi had this intention was obviously to give him a chance to make meritorious service, and at the same time to express his importance to their tribe, so he stood up without hesitation, patted his chest and said.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, my body has recovered to its original state, even if I encounter a tiger, I can kill it."

Seeing what he said, Mengdi laughed, and then asked.

"You are also from a tribe, so you should understand the thoughts of the people in these tribes, so I hope that after you send troops, you will focus more on how to recover these tribes."

"They can surrender, but they are not allowed to keep the army in their hands, but they can live with their clansmen. At that time, I will arrange a more suitable place for them, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing from now on."

Peng Ji froze for a moment when he heard this, and immediately explained.

"Your Majesty, these foreigners dismount their horses to serve as people and mount their horses to serve as an army. Let them live with their own people. I am afraid that their loyalty cannot be guaranteed. In my opinion, their soldiers should be rearranged and formed into another army."

"Then choose a general to lead, so as to ensure that they have no strength to cause chaos, otherwise, it may be difficult to control, and it may bury hidden dangers in the future."

Meng Di smiled and nodded. Peng Ji can think so, which shows that he is a discerning person, so he said.

"As long as they enter the country of Han, they must obey the laws and regulations of the country of Han. I can give them corresponding benefits. As long as they enter the land of the country of Han, they must conduct the same training as other places."

"In this way, these soldiers are under our control, even if they want to do something, they have no chance, and when the time comes, I will break them up and hold them down, so as not to let them all gather together of."

Such an arrangement fundamentally solves the problem of these tribes secretly expanding their own strength, and over time, these people will gradually integrate into the local area and become real Han people.

Peng Ji showed admiration on his face, nodded and agreed, and then Meng Di looked at Wen Zhong again.

"You did a good job building Chang'an City this time. You have built a magnificent city in a short period of time, so I am going to let you govern the land of Qin State. Qin State has always been relatively barren."

"So the local people are living in hardship. You have been in Guanzhong for such a long time. Do you have any experience about this? Or what is your opinion?"

Wen Zhong thought for a while, then raised his head, and said what was in his heart.

"Because the Qin State has been fighting for years, the local people are very brave. It's just because we destroyed the Qin State, so the local people still have some grudges against our Han State."

"However, after the construction of Chang'an City this time, the attitude of the people of the Qin Kingdom has improved when they see that we pay regularly. So my suggestion is to call the people of the Qin Kingdom and train a team of soldiers."

"And Qin is also a place for raising horses. Many local people are good at riding horses. If they are trained as cavalry, they will form very quickly. This time, we can let them follow the army to attack Yiqu together."

"There are two advantages to doing this. One is that Yiqu often harassed many people in Qin State and they have blood feuds with them. The other point is to let these people in Qin State see the strength of our Han State, so that they can completely convince."

"At that time, after these Qin people have made great achievements, as long as they are dealt with with a fair attitude, then the complaints of the Qin people will gradually dissipate, and after a long time, they will truly become the people of our Han country."

"The other thing is to build water conservancy to encourage agriculture and mulberry, just like in Huaicheng, and announce in Qin that they can enjoy the same treatment as the people of Han. As long as they do well, they can get various benefits."

"Two-pronged approach, at most two or three years, the old land of Qin State can be settled, and thus become the stable rear of our Han State."

Meng Di nodded as he listened. He agreed with Wen Zhong very much. It is easy to occupy a place, but it is not so simple to manage this place well. It requires a lot of patience and one step at a time.

If you act too hastily, it may be counterproductive. It can be seen from Wen Zhong's words that he has already made a comprehensive plan, so Meng Di showed a deep smile on his face, and said in a very appreciative tone .

"You are indeed a talented person. Since you already have an idea, then do it according to your own idea. If you encounter any difficulties or need help, just ask, and the court will definitely support you. of."
