MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2767 four places

  Chapter 2767 Divide into four places

   Fei Qian walked forward.

  Xu Chu followed Fei Qian, shook his fist at Fei Zhen with a smile, and then raised his eyebrows in the direction of the school field of the Hussar House.

   Fei Zhen shook her head and smiled wryly, then lowered her head obediently, walked forward a few steps quickly, followed Fei Qian, and went to the meeting hall.

  Fei Zhen is more competitive than ordinary children.

   This is naturally Fei Qian's intentional guidance, but the competitive spirit also needs certain constraints, and this constraint is "ritual".

  Etiquette comes from knowledge of books and reason, worldly sophistication.

  『Go to Meiling Village again? ’ Fei Qian asked as he walked.

   Fei Zhen nodded, "Uh, I'm going. 』

  『Break in again? ’ Fei Qian asked.

"No. Fei Zhen lowered her head, "It is said that she wants to study hard and not see outsiders. 』

  『So if you are not convinced, and the preparation fails, you want to use force? ’ Fei Qian said indifferently.

   Fei Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This..."

  『This is also a way. ’ Fei Qian still said indifferently, ‘But this is what a reckless man did, are you a reckless man? 』

"what? ” Fei Zhen raised her head, and said loudly, “Of course not! 』

"Ok. ’ Fei Qian nodded.

   Afterwards, Fei Qian didn't say anything more.

  Fei Zhen followed behind, with her head down, thoughtful.

  Turn across the corridor, the meeting hall is conveniently in front of you.

  Xun You, Pang Tong, and Jia Xu had already stood outside the hall, and greeted each other with arms folded.

  Fei Qian and the three met the ceremony, and then walked back and forth into the hall, where the guests and the host were seated.

  『Today’s discussion,』 Fei Qian sat down and looked around, 『Western Regions. 』

  The three of them were a little silent at first.

  The border issue is an unavoidable problem for almost all empires.

  It seems that all feudal dynasties are following the cycle of pioneering, expanding, and then busy suppressing chaos, stagnating, and finally falling into a cycle of shrinking and collapsing. Of course, with the advancement of science and technology, the development of the times, and the development of roads, the scope that an empire can control will become larger and larger, but this scope is not due to any better method adopted by the empire, or the What strategies have been improved, but only because of the passive improvement brought about by the development of productivity and technological progress.

   An extreme situation can be assumed, that is, if technology will never change and productivity will not develop, does it mean that the empire will never be able to get out of this vicious circle?

   Whether there is a desire to expand, in fact, has a very direct relationship with the emperor.

  If an emperor himself is mediocre, then no matter how big the empire is, it will still stagnate.

  Among the kings of the past dynasties, before the present, the one who had ambitions and put them into practice was actually not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Qin Shihuang. Because in fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the desert and opened up the Western Regions, not because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had ambitions for external expansion, but more to fight against the Xiongnu, just like the place names of Longxi, Zhangye, etc., to reach out and wave The two fists are convenient for beating the Huns. Expedition to the Yelang Kingdom, maybe there is also the idea of ​​expanding the territory, but I believe it is more because I heard that the Yelang Kingdom is very rich, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was short of money at that time.

  After the Han Dynasty, it was Yang Guang who was not short of money, but also very ambitious, and then killed himself. He dug canals and conquered Goguryeo three times, which finally caused domestic complaints and was finally replaced by Li Tang. However, the purpose of Yang Guang's expedition was not so simple...

   It was the Yuan Dynasty that got things done without money, but didn't get things done. Regardless of the calculation methods of the Golden Horde, at least at the time of the Yuan Dynasty, its economic conditions and production levels were undoubtedly more backward than those in the Central Plains, and its production system and political model were also rougher. It happened that such a more backward and relatively barbaric regime was able to win the Song Dynasty, which had a higher level of productivity and technology at that time, which shows that in fact, economy and productivity are not the most important reasons for restricting the pace of an empire's expansion.

   Therefore, in fact, for Huaxia, the most important factor in failing to embark on the foreign conquest route is still "people".

  『The interests of the Western Regions, since Xiaowu, the great Han has been at odds, especially after Xiaoguangwu...』

   Fei Qian said something at the beginning, then stopped suddenly, and then couldn't help but glanced up. Because when Fei Qian spoke just now, a strange feeling seemed to arise in his heart, as if all the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty since Guangwu had suddenly come to his side, listening or staring angrily, Fei Qian couldn't help feeling a little bit Hairy feeling.

  『Cough cough...』 Fei Qian coughed twice, and stopped talking about what happened to the emperor after Guangwu. What do you guys think? But please be blunt. 』

  The Western Regions issue, or the frontier issue.

  In fact, not only the Han Dynasty, but all dynasties will face this problem.

   Jia Xu laughed twice, "If it's easy, it's extremely easy. Just send some officials to seize Lu Fengxian's military power and take him to Beijing." 』

  Pang Tongtong hesitantly said, "Why should Wenhe try?" My lord has summoned you and me here to find a long-term solution. If it is only to solve the immediate danger, even mediocre people know this method, so why bother to repeat it. 』

  Xun You nodded and said: "The changes in the Western Regions are both in the Western Regions and outside the Western Regions. Observing the gains and losses of a place is the first in the world. Lu Fengxian boasted that there is no king above, and he despises the law, which is what he deserves. However, through the ages, is there only Lu Fengxian alone? What about Chunqiu and Zheng Bo? Is it not widely known? The result is not regrettable and sigh? But this is the case! 』

   Jia Xu laughed, "Since this is the case, there is no need to talk about mundane strategies... Hehe, let's talk about it today, there are so many sections of Zheng Boke! 』

  Chunqiu, some people can see power, desire, indulgence in it, some people see military government affairs, but some people just want to sleep after seeing it.

  The method of dealing with the Western Regions in the Eastern Han Dynasty was basically the same as that of other subsequent feudal dynasties.

   Is it really just a change, and it’s over?

   Obviously, not.

   So in the final analysis, why do people change, even from top to bottom, inside and out, and why are there still people who come and go one after another?

  In fact, it is very simple. The person has changed, but the authority has not.

  The people have changed, but the system has not.

  It doesn’t solve the problem fundamentally, it just treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and weeds grow again.

Some people take it for granted that as long as there are political commissars in the army, they can be arranged like a big bear, but in fact, big bear has used his own experience and many examples to prove that political commissars are not omnipotent, and political commissars can be corrupt and rebellious. …

  『Frontier matters need to be cautious. If you are too rigid, the general will not be able to achieve it, and military affairs will not be smooth. Xun You said, "If you let it go, you will be the genus of Yi Sheng Lu Fengxian. If you lose your bridle a little, it will be disaster." Therefore, the more remote a certain opinion is, the more it needs to be directly supervised. Although the general has the right to temporarily dispose of it, he still needs to report it afterwards. If this can be done carefully, great disasters will be avoided. 』

  Xun You's suggestion is to restrict the authority of the generals outside the country, at least after they have acted, they must report for review.

   will be outside, and military orders will not be accepted.

   This is an old saying.

This sentence was originally because the information transmission was not smooth, so the generals on the front line must have a relatively high degree of freedom, and the information on the front line is constantly changing. It is decided by the civil servants in the rear, or the clever plan made by the monarch, and it cannot be opened before a certain time. This way, the restraint on the generals is strong, but the consequences are even more terrible.

  For the Western Regions, or issues similar to the Western Regions, it is natural to need restraint and control, but the blind pursuit of restraint and control over generals will inevitably restrain China's progress.

   Therefore, Xun You's suggestion is to give the generals a certain degree of freedom, but the generals must report after exercising their authority, so as to limit the disorderly expansion of some generals and the confusion of the law.

  Pang Tong nodded and said: "Gongda's words are not bad, but in the Western Regions, there are also Zhiyin Supervisors, and there are many things that are underreported, underreported and concealed." In my opinion, it's better to split it up. If you have too much authority, you will be dizzy if you are in a hurry. The Western Region is huge, and can be divided into four regions, east, west, north, south, and colonies stationed separately, with one capital guarding the four colonies...』

  Pang Tong felt that the reporting and review system was not enough. For the generals and schools abroad, these generals and schools had too much authority and needed to split the authority.

  This is also the strategy of the Han Dynasty to deal with local tyrants. It is the experience of cutting down the vassals, and Feiqian is also doing the same now, such as the newly-built governing agencies, the local inspection system, and so on.

Pang Tong believes that the Zhiyin prison has been set up in the Western Regions, but it has not played its due role. Many times, the officials in the Zhiyin prison have little power and belong to the marginal areas, so they are more or less dawdling. Appearing, coupled with the fact that the officials who had the courage to report were killed, they were timid and fearful, and closed their eyes as if nothing happened. Therefore, asking local personnel to take the initiative to report will not have much effect at certain times. It is better to directly divide the authority. It's like Zhuge Liang divided Nanzhong into three counties in Nanzhong. In this way, Nanzhong naturally reduced the risk that a single tycoon could control the place, and strengthened the stability of Nanzhong.

  Pang Tong thinks that the methods Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang adopted in Nanzhong can be considered seriously...

  Jia Xu was at the side, but he had some different opinions. He stroked his beard and said slowly: "What Lingjun said is indeed reasonable. If there is no foreign enemy wolf, this strategy is really not bad. However... If the power is divided, the army must be divided. The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated. If there are too many, it will be expensive, and if there are few, it will be exhausted. Chaos also. If a certain policy is used directly to control chaos, why should we guard against it? Just like the old house does not go, where to build a new house? 』

  Longxi contractor Jia Xu obviously benefited a lot from the Longyou series of incidents and gained a lot of experience. For Jia Xu, it is not in his character to touch the outside and make up for the inside. He prefers to overthrow directly, completely destroy the original production and ownership relations, and then rebuild a better building system in the ruins.

  In a simple sentence, it is eighty for the big hammer and forty for the small hammer!

   As for the dust and gravel during the reconstruction and decoration process, Jia Xu said that it is not a problem.

  Jia Xu also talked about his intelligence collection on Guishuang and Anxi over the past period of time, and then he also said that he could use the chaos in the Western Regions to lure Anxi Guishuang into the game, and then deal him a heavy blow in the Western Regions...

Jia Xu was elated, but Xun You, who was on the side, kept rubbing his forehead. Thanks to Xun You's patience, he waited until Jia Xu had finished speaking, and then said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, If you really want to fight Guishuang, where will the people and property you need come from? 』

  Let’s not talk about whether it can be demolished or not. At least the workers must be paid first. Otherwise, if there are no workers, how can you demolish Guishuang’s home?

  Jia Xu laughed, "It's from the Western Regions!" The states of the Western Regions have been accumulated for several generations, and they talk about supporting a great war. Even if there are two more, it is no problem! 』

Jia Xu took out a book from his sleeve, which indicated the size of each state in the Western Regions, and Jia Xu's estimate of its treasury. Looking at the thick and colorful handwriting on the book, and the number of related marks, you can know It may not be a day or two for Jia Xu to covet the wealth accumulated by the states of the Western Regions...

  『The Western Regions are now like Yelang in the past. This is the policy left by Wen You. Jia Xu continued, "Hu people in the Western Regions have different hearts, and those whose hearts are toward the great man are not two or three out of ten." In the past, Liulu Feng was prior to the Western Regions, that is, if it is available, it will be used, and if it is not available, it will be cleared. Now that Lu Fengxian is arrogant and self-willed, it is time to clean up the Western Regions. 』

   What Jia Xu said seemed to be an understatement, but the taste of iron and blood contained in it was faintly diffused in the meeting hall.

Jia Xu and Li Ru basically have the same attitude towards the Hu people. Only the Hu people who surrendered and obeyed can be driven with their lives. Just put to death...

   Killing 10,000, or 100,000 or 200,000, for Li Ru and Jia Xu, they would not frown.

"Brother Wen You sent people to investigate many times when he was still alive..." Jia Xu paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued, "The power of Guishuang is no less than that of a big man. There is a battle! Instead of rushing to deal with it at that time, it would be better to draw his soldiers and work hard to compete in the Western Regions! 』

  『Not to mention Guishuang, after the rest, especially Daqin! Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "Thus, the affairs of the Western Regions should be considered inside and outside." It depends on the war, except troubles. 』

  Under Fei Qian's signal, the information about Guishuang brought back by Jia Xu was also distributed to Xun You and Pang Tong for mutual viewing.

  Among these materials, some are relevant information collected through contact with the Anxihu people in Guishuang, and some are sent to the Anxihu people, and some are described after returning, and the two aspects are compared with each other. No matter what kind of information it is, it proves that in the west of the Han Dynasty, there is also a powerful empire, not even inferior to the Huns back then...

Fei Qian did not deliberately exaggerate these contents, nor did he modify some of the descriptions. On the one hand, Fei Qian actually did not fully grasp the information about Guishuang, Anxi and other countries in this era. What's wrong? On the other hand, Fei Qian must also encourage this kind of behavior of actively collecting information from neighboring countries, and it cannot be like braided dynasty, saying that the surrounding countries of the Celestial Dynasty are all barbarians.

   How long did Guishuang, Anxi and other countries last, and when did they decline? Fei Qian was actually not very impressed with these time points.

But one thing seems to be certain, that is, these countries established in Central Asia, I don’t know whether it is limited by the level of productivity, or some other reason, making it difficult for these countries to cross the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions and invade the Central Plains .

   On the contrary, the tribes in the desert snow area next to the Central Plains have had a relatively deep influence on the Chinese regime in the Central Plains, and have always been the external enemies of the Chinese feudal dynasty.

   Rome, known as the Great Qin, was actually in chaos at this point in time.

It seems that it is because they are almost at the same latitude, so whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Daqin Dynasty, or the Anxi Guishuang, in fact, it is because of climate change that the nomadic peoples in the north have invaded the south, and the internal Zhuanghe The harvest was reduced due to climate changes, which caused a series of major problems in people's livelihood and governance, causing the entire empire to fall apart.

However, the centipede is dead but not stiff. It took 20 or 30 years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty to empty out the national power of the Central Plains, which led to chaos. Therefore, Fei Qian said that in the future, these countries are completely impossible. If he hits the Central Plains, he really can't hit this guarantee.

  For the feudal dynasty of China, once they lost the motivation to go outward, they would roll themselves inward to death. After all, as an agricultural nation in the Central Plains, it is very necessary to remain vigilant and curious about the outside world.

  The Chinese people who can only plow the fields but can't hold weapons have suffered too much.

  This must be changed.

   Therefore, Fei Qian did not tell Jia Xu and others that the enemy could not cross the Western Regions and hit the Central Plains, but quietly watched the three of them look at the relevant information.

  Among the strategies of the three, Xun You is the most moderate, Jia Xu is the most violent, and Pang Tong is the middle of the two, but can strategies only be carried out according to these three levels?

   Fei Qian felt that Xun You, Jia Xu and Pang Tong seemed to be missing something.

   And this missed issue is what Fei Qian wants to focus on.

  『By the way, Zhener,』 Fei Qian turned his head and said to Fei Zhen who was listening in the back, "Go and get the "Theory of the Four Places" you wrote a while ago, and ask the three uncles to give you some pointers..."

   Fei Zhen froze for a moment, "Huh? 』

"Ah for what? It’s the one you wrote before about the border land, the raw land, the familiar land, and the Han land…” Fei Qian waved his hand, “It’s in my study…”

  Fei Zhen suddenly got up, and Xinxin got up and left.

   Xun You and the other three glanced at each other, and couldn't help thinking...
