Chapter 1221 Military State IV
Zhang Yuan's body was not cold, and his two sons, six grandsons, and a baby who was still in cradle were ordered to be eliminated by his other son.
After killing two brothers and six nephews, Zhang Yuan's other sons were later banned in the Qin Wangchuancheng Grand Academy. After "studying the theory of Tianli for life." Zhang Zhuo temporarily eliminated his competitors, then changed his name to Zhangli, and renamed the Hexi Grand Education and Cultivation Group to Tianli, calling himself "Tianlizi".
Then he began to reform the Tianli Buddhism drastically, changing the names of teachers and teachers at all levels to "Chili Mater", "Chili Mater", "Chili Mater", and "Chili Mater".
At the same time, Zhangli also reformed the administrative system within the jurisdiction of Hexi. The jurisdiction was divided into four levels: "Tianlixue Road", "Tianlixue Academy", "Tianlixue City" and "Tianlixue Academy", and was divided into four levels, including administrative divisions such as roads, prefectures (prefectures), counties, villages (towns, cities).
Five university roads including Hexi Xuelu, Anxi Xuelu, Xizhou Xuelu, Xifan Xuelu, and Grassland Xuelu were established, responsible for managing the ruling areas or colleges of the Tianli Church in Hexi, Anxi, Xizhou, Tubo, and grassland.
By the way, the Tianli Cult is not the only ruling force in Anxi, Xizhou, Tubo and grassland areas. The territory that is truly completely under the rule of the Tianli Cult is only Hexi.
In Anxi, the territory of the Tianli Sect was very fragmented, mixed with the territory of Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun. However, the two Zhao brothers have now pulled the main force to the Kingdom of Tianzhu and established a new ruling center in Lahore.
Compared with the wealthy northwest of Tianzhu, Anxi, where deserts are everywhere, is like a waste of money. Therefore, they did not want to compete with the Tianli Sect, but gradually retreated.
Therefore, what really threatened the rule of the Tianli Cult in Anxi was not Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun's army, but the feudal lord who believed in the Tianfang Cult.
Although the Tianli Church regime implemented freedom of religious belief, it did not prohibit the spread of Buddhism, Taoism, Tianfang Buddhism, shamanism, Confucianism, and doctoral organizations in their territory.
But conflicts between sects are always inevitable...
In Xizhou, the Xizhou Uighurs who believe in Buddhism and Manichaeism are being squeezed by the two Tianli regimes in the east and west of Hexi Tianli regimes in the east, and the doctoral group of Yelu Dashi of Saiye was in the west.
These two Tianli Cult regimes formed an alliance during the time when Zhang Yuan ruled Hexi, and reached an agreement to divide the Xizhou with Tianshan as the boundary and equally divided the Xizhou to the south of Tianshan, including the prosperous Yizhou (Hami) and Gaochang, all belong to the Tianli Cult regime in Hexi. The grasslands north of Tianshan (Zungeer Grassland) and the Yili River Valley were all divided into the Suiye regime.
In the grassland area (referring to the southern Mobei, the northern Mobei grassland), the Hexi Tianli Church regime established Wuyuan Academy and Yinshan Academy in the Bei'an Grassland of Hetao, and continued to send Tianli masters and Tianli scholars to preach to the northern Mobei and the southern Mobei tribes to win over the grassland tribes.
In the Tubo region, as early as the early days of the establishment of the Hexi regime, Zhang Yuan conquered the grass-too Tatars and yellow-headed Uighurs in the Qaidam Basin in the later Qaidam Basin, turning them into believers of the law of nature, and using them to expand westward and invade the territory of Anxi and Xizhou.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan also sent scholars from the Tianli Sect to Qingtang City, trying to win over Zhao Baozhong, who believed in Buddhism.
The forces of Tianli Cult in Hexi have developed very rapidly in recent years and have established a very large force.
However, with a large territory, it is inevitable that it will be rough to manage. The Zhou Kingdom ruled by Wu Haogu is only more than 200,000 square kilometers, and it has convenient transportation, rich land, and developed industry and commerce. To put it a little exaggerated, the entire country is under the nose of the head of Wuhan University.
The regime that Zhang Yuan founded was distributed in more than 2 million square kilometers of mountain, grassland, desert and farming land. The land was barren, inconvenient transportation, and extremely underdeveloped industry and commerce. Moreover, the population was small, and there was only about three million people on more than 2 million square kilometers of land. On average, even two people could not get together for one square kilometer.
In such a territory with few people and wide land, poor resources and inconvenient transportation, it is unimaginable to establish a rule of division of military officials like the Central Plains!
Administrative costs alone are enough to make the Hexi regime go bankrupt ten times.
Therefore, it was very natural that the Hexi regime adopted a ruling method similar to the unity of politics and feudal lordship.
Only in this way can the Tianlizi of Liangzhou command the orders of all directions and place more than two million people under the rule of the Tianli religion developed from Confucianism.
While claiming to be Tianlizi and establishing a unified political regime in Anxi, Xizhou, Tubo and grassland areas, Zhang Li also took a step further on the basis of the "Knight Manor System" founded by his father Zhang Yuan and established a feudal system in the feudal system of the tribe. This is also the main reason why Zhang Li can be supported by the generals of the Hexi army, including Yu Tongdao and Liu Long.
The biggest difference between the so-called "partial feudal system" and the "knight manor system" is that the former enfeoffs land and the latter enfeoffs population!
By Western standards, this is the evil serfdom!
The establishment of this system is naturally inseparable from the situation where there are few people and many land in the Hexi ruling region.
For more than 15,000 knights in Hexi, land is not a scarce resource. No one farms and grazes, and even if they are placed in the form of bully landlords, they have to beg for food.
If the Zhou State is a bit like Prussia, with the Junker class who personally manages the land as its military basis and the industrial and commercial cities as its economic basis. Then Hexi is like Tsarist Russia, and the serf-mansion manor is the foundation of the entire country. The Orthodox Church, which is firmly controlled by the state, is the bond to maintain the unity of the empire. The Cossack tribe warriors who converted to the Orthodox Church are the sharp blades of the empire's expansion...
More than 15,000 tribal manors have become the military and economic foundation of the Tianli Church regime. In addition to military service, tribal manors must also pay tribute to maintain the operation of the regime. In order to ensure that these manors have the ability to provide military strength and wealth for a long time, Zhangli also stipulated the eldest son inheritance system while carrying out tribal reforms.
All manors are not allowed to be divided!
The sons who have no inheritance rights must enter the Tianli Academy (which is actually a local administrative agency) under the jurisdiction of Tianli Academy (which is a real academy and also has a divisional manor) to learn Confucianism and martial arts, become officials or soldiers of the Tianli Church regime, and use their merits to win their own manor.
Needless to say, the motivation for expansion is also full!
However, there are some problems within this regime... Zhang Li's bloody means also violate the "kiss and respect" of Confucianism, and they are inevitably criticized.
In order to consolidate one's position and resolve internal doubts, Zhang Li must hold high the banner of heaven and start a war!
...
Su Shi quickly walked into the newly completed Yi Laozhai, which was his father Su Che's residence on the bank of the Luoyang River in Quanzhou after his retirement.
Unlike another time and space where he lived in seclusion in Yingchuan, Su Che in this time and space was honored to retire when he was judged by Quanzhou Prefecture. Because he was old and weak, Zhao Ji issued a kind order and gave him a title on the banks of the Luoyang River. This is the "Li Laozhai". Su Che called himself "Li Lao Lao" and lived in seclusion in Quanzhou. He was taken care of by Su Shi, the second son who served as the Quanzhou Maritime Constitution and the governor of Taiwan.
Because he succeeded in his later years and was in a happy mood, his life span was longer than in history. In history, Su Che passed away in the winter of Zhenghe in the second year of Zhenghe. Now, it is already the autumn of Zhenghe, and the old man is still alive.
Although Su Shi is familiar with Taiwan now, he does not work in the Lugang office, but in the Maritime Office in Quanzhou.
The Taiwan Prefecture under his jurisdiction is also a relatively special existence. It is a state composed of a bunch of banished counties. In fact, it is not a county. It is just a castle stronghold built on the beach of Taiwan that is suitable for building ports.
In addition to Lugang County and Penghu County, they are all property of Quanzhou maritime merchants. Su Shi's "counties" exchanged more than one million yuan from the maritime merchants in Quanzhou, and used this money to buy dozens of galloping boats from the Zhou Dynasty Navy. They established a warship fleet of the Penghu Patrol Department under the jurisdiction of Taiwan. They did not have the size of dozens of warships, and were only equipped with twelve good-in-class galloping boats. The remaining warships were resold to Han maritime merchants on the coast of Fujian. These warships built by Tianjin shipyards were of particular material use and first-class quality. Some of them were equipped with fierce oil cabinets, which were very powerful in combat. For Fujian maritime merchants, they were definitely popular!
Oh, why do maritime merchants want such a good warship?
Of course, it was to go to the west of the Strait of Malacca and trade south.
The autonomous Nanyang Protectorate has expanded greatly in recent years because it can receive support from the Doctorate Order and the Ji Navy. It not only robbed territory on Java Island, but also robbed many territory on the Malay Peninsula (the Nanyang Protectorate named Nanyang Prefecture for it). It also controlled a series of archipelagos east of the Strait of Malacca.
He is like the overlord of Nanyang!
As the territory is larger, the tentacles of trade naturally grow. Not only does it control the trade in the Strait of Malacca, but it also relies on the colonies on Java to control the trade in the Spice Islands.
He even deepened his tentacles into the Indian Ocean! He began to compete with the Tianfang Sect and the Hindu sea merchants.
The Tianfang Sect and Hindu sea merchants who had lost their trade line became pirates and began to rob the ships of the Han sea merchants.
Therefore, warships equipped with fierce oil cabinets and burst rockets became a must for maritime merchants.
The world is really hard for Su Shi to understand! The maritime merchants are expanding on the sea, the Tianli Cult is expanding in the northwest, and the Great Zhou Republic is expanding in Northeast Asia, sea and land. What surprised him the most was that the Song Dynasty court, which had already been sluggish, was actually a traitor, and wanted to attack the southern overlord of Jiaozhi Kingdom!
He also wants to investigate whether the Jiaozhi State has no official position or not! Can Jiaozhi State let you investigate? Don’t lose your life.
So Su Shi, who received the order, did not go out, but mobilized troops everywhere and organized an armed investigation team. Now the investigation team has been formed, and today he is here to say goodbye to his father.
