1090th(1/2)
Liu Yu, who was far away in Luoyang, did not know about the turmoil in the Hezhong area.
Now he is preparing to further increase control over the Western Regions, including the rivers.
One of the important means is to continue to send down officials who have been demoted, many criminals, and many candidate officials who have replaced the position.
These people are all frustrated people among the high-ranking clans. After being promoted to an official by Liu Yu, they all thought about climbing up.
Now that Liu Yu sent them all to the barbaric land of the Western Regions Protectorate, these people were not disappointed, but they were all showing their desire to work harder.
Because Liu Yu told them that his attitude towards the Western Regions Protectorate was to show the attitude of Jiang Taigong enfeoffing Qi State back then.
The mission of these officials is to educate these savage barbarians in the Western Regions Protectorate, so that they can all belong to the Han education, just like Jiang Qi's state of destroying the Western Regions and Laiyi.
After hearing Liu Yu's explanation, Wang Ze became even more worried.
"Your Majesty, the Western Regions Protectorate is too far away after all, and the road is inconvenient. Are you not afraid of any traitor among them?"
Wang Ze’s worries are also normal.
The territory of the Western Regions Protectorate is mostly in the desert forests, and is obstructed by snow-capped mountains and grasslands. If the dynasties in the Central Plains want to actually control them, they naturally have to spend some effort.
If you are not careful, you may be raising a tiger.
However, Liu Yu had already thought of this problem.
Liu Yu pulled Wang Ze's little hand and asked her to sit next to him.
"I've thought about this question a long time ago."
"That's why I asked Yuwen to replace the Zhang family in Hexi and become the leader of the Western Regions Protectorate."
Wang Ze still didn't understand Liu Yu's meaning.
"What did your Majesty say?"
"The Zhang family in Hexi has no authority, and it is just a waste to stay there. The great clans of the Western Regions Protectorate are all ready to move, and other tribe members have the intention to replace them."
"Now our Han army is in charge behind the scenes, Yuwen, a woman, can also suppress them and obey them."
"But without the support of the Han army, Yuwen would be torn apart by the group of the Western Region Protectorate tribes and tribes, so she dared not have any strange thoughts."
"And even if Yuwen wants to have any thoughts, the officials I sent will never be with her."
Liu Yu is very confident about this.
Although many of the scholars in the Central Plains are arrogant, extravagant and very poor, they still have enough pride in their hearts. There is no reason for rebelling with a woman from a foreign country.
Is the family reputation still worth it?
Do you want your own face?
The most important thing is that your own life may not be taken.
"I'm afraid that there will be any problems in the future." Wang Ze said again.
Liu Yu naturally understood what she meant.
"When Yuwen stabilizes the situation of the Western Regions Protectorate, I will recall her, and the officials who are left behind will replace the original Western Regions Protectorate tribe."
"If Yuwen has children in the future, he will be given the title of Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions Protectorate, and will show his face every few years. The real people in power will be officials sent by me."
"In this case, it won't take long to completely replace the reputation of the entire Han court."
"Isn't it the best of both worlds to turn the current Protectorate of the Western Regions into the vanguard of the future to defend the Han Dynasty and to conquer the more barbaric Yuanyi in the north, such as Sushen and Yilou."
Liu Yu said proudly.
In fact, Liu Yu's method of dealing with the Western Regions Protectorate was more detailed and complex, and it was not so simple.
First, the prestige of the Western Regions Protectorate tribe was slowly eliminated, and then the powerful tribes of the Western Regions Protectorate tribe were divided little by little.
Through repeated battles, the strong people among the Western Region Protectorate’s tribes were either exhausted or promoted or moved away from the former land of the Western Region Protectorate’s tribe.
This method is the historical method of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Western Regions Protectorate. It was extremely tolerant of the defeated Western Regions Protectorate, but it achieved better results than massacre.
After Wang Ze understood, he felt relieved his worries.
The main task of the national middle school today is to recuperate and strengthen national strength through continuous battles is impossible. If the Western Regions Protectorate can be turned into a hawk and dog in the Xianbei and Western Regions, it would be great.
"I just don't know if it's worth it to spend so much effort to run a place farther than Liaodong." Wang Ze said softly.
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Of course it's very worth it, or very necessary."
“It’s very necessary?”
"Yes, that's what you have to do."
"But, your Majesty has already said that the Western Regions Protectorate has few soldiers and weak strength, and even Murong Xianbei cannot defeat it?"
"What I said is correct, but it is only aimed at the current situation. If we want to discuss the future, once the Western Regions Protectorate is left to it, it is very likely to grow again."
Liu Yu believed in this.
Not to mention the disaster in history that the Western Regions Protectorate was in trouble, even after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate repeatedly brought trouble to the frontiers of the Han Dynasty. Even if he was taught a lesson in turn, he would make a comeback after a little rest.
Although the degree of disaster in the Western Regions Protectorate's Office is far from comparable to the Hu Qiang Rebellion, its development trend is getting stronger and stronger.
"What about the Huns' tribes farther away? I heard that their savages have no more properties except some animal skins and horses, and they don't even have much copper and iron. Is it worth pursuing and educating?"
Although Wang Ze had never seen a barbarian farther away than the Western Regions Protectorate, she had seen a lot of records in books.
These distant barbarians with various names have been said to have begun to pay tribute to the Central Plains dynasty during the Zhou Dynasty.
However, the things they paid tribute were all very backward things, such as huge moose, ferocious falcons, or red and green gems.
In short, they are all strange things that are not of great value.
"Haha, I want to conquer these far-farers, but it's not just for some tribute."
"Is it for the sake of virtue and enlightenment?" Wang Ze joked.
"Of course, there is a little bit of this, but it's not the main thing."
Liu Yu continued to explain patiently.
"Although the thousands of miles of dense forests there are bitter and cold places, they have the best and most fertile black soil."
"Black soil?"
Every spring when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, the emperor always uses five-colored earth as a necessity for sacrifice.
Among them is this black soil.
Wang Ze always knew that there was black land, but he didn't know that it was a wild land that was going north in the Western Regions Protectorate.
"Yes, it's the fertile black soil. As long as you reclaim wasteland and sow seeds, you will be waiting for a good harvest in a year, and you won't work like the Central Plains."
Liu Yu's words are actually a bit bragging.
Although the land in the ancient Northeast region was fertile, if you want to open up land and cultivate, two major problems must be overcome.
However, there are also large areas of black soil in the western region of Hezhong!
The first is a completely wild land, which must be managed in advance before it can be turned into high-yield land.
The second land is vast and sparsely populated, but the land has much better development environment...
Liu Yu's bragging was simply to describe the area of the Western Region River as a peach blossom land.
With the most fertile and richest land, only some backward barbarians who use fish skin and animal bones are simply an excellent place to make achievements.
After hearing this, Wang Ze was immediately moved.
After seeing Wang Ze, Liu Yu was also secretly happy.
His purpose was to make Wang Ze regard these places as excellent territory.
Because Wang Ze has become the biggest backer of the Taiyuan Wang family in the Central Plains.
Wang Chang, Wang Zan and other prefectures and counties are all without the Queen Wang Ze.
With the awareness of adding glory to the family, many Taiyuan Wang children recommended themselves to Wang Chang, Wang Zan and others, hoping to seek official positions.
There were so many people that they were all sent to Wang Ze in the end.
The king was very embarrassed about the uncles and brothers of these clans. He neither dared to value them heavily, nor could he refuse them.
Now after Liu Yu said this, Wang Ze immediately had a new idea.
Since Liu Yu wants to make great efforts to govern the Western Regions Protectorate in the future, he naturally needs more people.
According to Liu Yu's opinion, if you do it well, it would be easy to break the ground and enfeoff the territory. Although it was enfeoffed in the local wilderness, it could be considered a high-ranking official.
Wang Ze immediately had a solution.
Keep those clan children who are knowledgeable, famous and ambitious in Yecheng to develop slowly.
And those clans who had no strengths and only knew how to seek official positions every day were sent to the Western Regions Protectorate to educate the barbarians.
