Chapter 882 Throw yourself
After driving away the guy who wanted to sell his wife, Qin Lang didn't take this matter to heart. He had already packed his luggage. Although there were a lot of things, he didn't need to bother anyway.
At night, without Princess Fan Lin, it always feels a little empty.
Sitting under the lamp, Qin Lang took out a pen and paper, poured water and rubbed the ink on the inkstone, and began to write some plans for the future planning of the Tonghai Dudu Mansion. He prepared a copy of these things for the emperor, and a copy Leave it to Cheng Chumo.
Qin Lang was very careful about the Tonghai Governor's Mansion. This is a hub that leverages the integration of the entire Yunnan, Guangxi, Jiaotong and Guangzhou. Especially for Yunnan, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau used to be an enclave.
To the south of the Chengdu Plain in central Sichuan, this continuous highland lacks a decent plain basin and is full of fragmentary lakes and small dams in river valleys, so it has always been difficult to form a relatively powerful force. One of the barbarians, each standing on the top of the mountain.
Especially on the Guizhou plateau in the east, the dams there are smaller, so it is more difficult to form a large force, far less than the Yunnan side. After all, some big ancient countries such as Dian Kingdom and Ailao have been here before.
In the past, the Central Plains had limited control over this area. The key lies in the lack of effective control along the route, especially the lack of some self-sufficient strategic points.
Based in Bashu, the Shu Han established its capital in Chengdu, opened up to the south, and established Nanzhong Seven Commanderies. However, the actual control of the seven counties in Nanzhong is very weak. The one that can really be controlled is Zhuti County. It is also a relatively large Bazi Basin. Therefore, when Liu Bei defeated Shu and Tuogu Baidi City, the seven counties in Nanzhong rebelled against five counties, Zhuti County did not, and one county, Ning County, did not rebel. It was the residence of the governor's mansion where the Shu Han came to surrender at that time. There were heavy troops stationed there and the control was strict.
The five counties who rebelled against Shu back then were basically the local southerners who were conferred by Liu Bei at the beginning, that is, the Han people who went south in the early years, and they were the eight major surnames such as Meng Licuan. The seven captures of Meng Huo happened at this time. Meng Huo was also one of the eight surnames, and the Cuan family also participated in the rebellion.
Later, Zhuge Liang led his army to the south, and it was not easy to calm down.
But in the end, the eight surnames were still conferred as prefects of the counties, etc., and let the southerners manage the southern and central barbarians. After all, it was the local Han chieftains who controlled the large and small dams, while the barbarians occupied the mountainous areas. A very strong local force was formed, and the Shu Han was unable to intervene, so there was such a compromise policy.
The situation today is a bit different than it was back then.
At that time, the Shu Han’s inability to control Nanzhong was due to a large part of the factor. At that time, the Shu Han only occupied a corner of the world and was a separatist force. Its size could not be compared with that of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that Jiaoguang was still controlled by Soochow at that time. hands.
When the Shu Han rebellion began, Huang Yuan raised his army first, planning to go down the river to join Soochow. Many rebellious powers in South China also secretly communicated with Jiaozhou in the southeast.
But now, Datang is at the height of the sky, stronger than ever, and none of the old opponents such as Northern Turks, Liaodong Goguryeo, Western Regions Xitu, and Qinghai Tuyuhun can stand still, which allows Datang to have enough energy to deal with this situation. Various forces on the plateau dam.
Especially when the Cuan family has not yet recovered its strength after experiencing the Three Expeditions of the Sui Dynasty, and is still fighting in the nest. This is a rare golden opportunity for Datang to control Yunnan and Guizhou.
The largest dams on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are of course the Dianchi Lake area and the Erhai Lake area, which have always been the core centers of Yunnan. The Cuan clan ruled Dianchi for hundreds of years by controlling the core of Dianchi Lake. It started from the Erhai Lake.
If the Tang Dynasty wanted to control the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, of course it had to control important places such as Kunming and Dali, but things had to be done step by step. These important places were naturally the core of the traditional Southern Barbarian forces. The Sui Dynasty had hoped to rely on war to achieve it in one step. Seizing these important places in Kunming and Dali, but in the end it was not ideal, and the resistance was too fierce.
Qin Lang still thinks that the onion should be peeled layer by layer, but the prerequisite is to cut the onion in half first.
This knife is to open up the traffic line from Rongzhou to Jiaozhou. From Rongzhou to Qujing to Kunming, this line has been in existence for a long time. It needs to be widened along the Wuchi Road, but it is not smooth from Kunming to Jiaozhou. Now it is necessary To be fully connected, post stations, military fortresses, and settlements for immigrants must be established along the line.
Regardless of Kunming and Qujing, the imperial court has already set up a governor's mansion there, entrusting princes and heroes to guard it.
The key now is Tonghai City, which is a connecting hub, and it must be strong and strong. Before Kunming is fully controlled, such a base camp will be established in Tonghai, south of Kunming, which will not only separate the East and West Cuan Clans, but also separate the south bank of the Red River. The rebellious barbarians were separated from the vacillating Cuan clan.
Similarly, this line is not only a military control line, but also a commercial trade line. A steady stream of goods will be transported to Jiaozhou Port, and then countless goods from Jiaozhou Port will be sent to the plateau along the road, and sent to a a dam.
Qin Lang thinks this is a more important point. Although the economy seems to be less important than the political and military, in fact the economy is the foundation of the political and military.
Tonghai Dudufu is at an important node in this relationship.
For this reason, Qin Lang's memorial to Li Shimin also stated that Tonghai should be assigned to Yunnan Road geographically, but at present, it should be assigned to Guangnan Road. Controlling Tonghai Road is tantamount to choking Yunnan Road life gate.
As long as you manage with your heart, although it is impossible to replace Kunming's central position in a decade or two, it can effectively restrain Yunnan.
In the strategy for Cheng Chumo, Qin Lang focused on the relationship with the Yunnan Cuan family and other Nanzhong surnames, that is, those powerful people who immigrated to Nanzhong for hundreds of years and were almost integrated with Nanban. These people were called Southerners when they were in the Shu Han Dynasty. In fact, they were separated from the Han people and treated differently.
These people are actually immigrants under the colonial expansion policy of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, the whole family migrated. After generations of hard work, with the crushing of culture, technology and other aspects, they gradually formed a powerful Han Chinese in the barbarian land. .
There are strong and powerful southerners in the south central area, and there are handsome and handsome heroes in Lingnan. Although they are all Han, their interests lie in the barbaric land. They are of the same origin and the same species as the Central Plains, but they also have different interests and needs. Therefore, these people can be wooed, but they cannot complete trust.
And those barbarians are even more non-ethnic.
But Qin Lang reminded Cheng Chumo, whether it is for barbarians or southern tyrants, you can’t just suppress them blindly. If you treat them all as enemies, then you will be enemies everywhere. You have to unite the majority and attack the small part. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to win over and divide, and break down one by one.
Especially for the barbarians, it is necessary to suppress the upper-level leaders and appease the lower-level barbarians, so that Datang can stand aloof and remain invincible.
It is necessary to continue immigrating from the Central Plains, but there are not so many Han people to move from the Central Plains now, so Qin Lang also proposed to move some Xianbei people from Tuyuhun, Qiang people from Dangxiang, and Turkic people from the grasslands from the northern frontier. , and even the Qidan and Xi people attached to the Tang Dynasty in the Youyan area moved some of these northern barbarians here. Although these people are also barbarians, they are not of the same system or group as the local barbarians, so Cheng Chumo can use these northern Hu people, come to help manage the southern barbarians.
In this way, the barbarians in Nanzhong can avoid a small number of Han people.
"Focus on the control of several lines of communication, the development of dams that occupy several large points, the development of reclamation agriculture, and the development of trade by making full use of the advantages of commercial routes, and strive to become self-sufficient as soon as possible. As for the barbarians in the mountainous areas, we must Push forward carefully, don't fight for a while..."
"Every fortress and village has to build a school. It is necessary to set up a special study class for the children of the barbarians and recruit them to study. It can not only influence them through Sinicization, but also be able to control the tribes as a proton. It can also strengthen exchanges between the two sides and trade. ·······"
As soon as I write it, I feel a little out of control.
By the time I finished writing, it was already midnight.
Zhang Chao came in with a cup of white fungus soup, and said wretchedly, "If I had known that Saburo had such an arrangement, I wouldn't have to spend so much time staying here."
"What arrangement?"
Zhang Chao chuckled, "Then Acha is waiting outside, Sanye is still pretending to me, I didn't expect, Sanlang, you still like married women, there is Anon in the front, and Acha in the back, this Princess Linyi just Let's go, I will make up another Ah Cha immediately, so I will not be idle."
After listening to these words, Qin Lang understood.
"Ah Cha is here?"
"Well, I was waiting outside. I changed into Han's clothes, and I almost didn't recognize him. Sanlang is really good. How did you get Cuan Guiwang to agree?"
Zhang Chao has been with Qin Lang for a long time, but he is a little used to it, no matter how big or small, when it was just the two of them, they talked without stopping.
"It's too shameful for this Cuan to return to the king. Isn't this ruining Lao Tzu's reputation?"
When Zhang Chao heard that it was King Cuangui who took the initiative to send his wife away, he was a little dubious, but after all, he had been with Qin Lang for so long, and he believed in Qin Lang's character, "I thought it was because Princess Linyi left, You lack a warm blanket, so you asked Cuan Guiwang to send it. I didn’t expect this guy to send it on his own initiative. It’s really eye-opening. But I usually see that Acha is very cold and arrogant, and he looks very capable. Why are you willing to come?"
