Chapter 672 Southern Emperor

"Zi'an, you, the magistrate of Guizhou, are doing well," Zhang Dun joked.

He came to the south as the governor of Jiaozhi Road to appease the governor of Jiaozhi Road, but Jiaozhi is not a state of Jiaozhou, which is too big.

Wang Ju was basically divided according to the organization and division of Annan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty: Jiaozhi County, Luzhou Yushan County, Fengzhou Chenghua County, Aizhou Jiuzhen County, Huanzhou Rinan County, Changzhou Wenyang County, Fuluzhou Tanglin County, Tangquan County, Zhizhou Xincheng County, Wu'e County, Wu'e County, Yanzhou Longchi County, and Wu'anzhou Wuqu County. There are nearly 60 counties in twelve prefectures.

However, some Wang Ju banned it. The officials of the Song Dynasty were not officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they were very precious (referring to high salaries and could not afford them). Moreover, after their own inducement, even if more than 100,000 households were moved over, the population became very scarce.

So Wang Ju merged Wu'anzhou and Luzhou into Luzhou and Fuluzhou. Everything in Yanzhou was two, merged with Aizhou and Huanzhou, and Changzhou merged with Jiaozhou Prefecture. Then he transferred Guangyuanzhou from Yongzhou to Guangyuanzhou, and assigned Tangzhou, and Menzhou Sumaozhou to Luzhou. The three prefectures obtained from Chameng established one state and three counties, named Nanzhou, meaning that the Song Dynasty was the southernmost place. Moreover, Wang Ju also intentionally explained the meaning of the name of this state to Hama.

As a result, Jiaozhi Road became one prefecture, one prefecture, thirty-two counties, and more than a dozen banned states in the northwest corner. Most of them were changed back to the old names of the Tang Dynasty, and the new names taken by Jiaozhi were abolished.

The court also agreed to this division.

In other words, no matter how much you save, the court has to appoint at least 200 officials to manage the land.

However, everything was invented and there were many affairs. The officials were appointed by the court, but the specific plans for the future of Jiaozhi Road, resettlement of immigration and other military and political affairs must be led by Zhang Dun. Therefore, after the court discussed, Zhang Dun asked Zhang Dun to come to Guangnan first.

Zhang Dun refers to Wang Ju, who was the governor of Guizhou, stayed in Yongzhou to handle official duties.

"What if I don't stay in Yongzhou? Guizhou is too far from Jiaozhi." Wang Ju said, even if Zhang Dun came, Wang Ju still stayed in Yongzhou unless he didn't want to deal with Dali.

The two of them had a conversation.

Wang Ju began to talk about the serious matter: "Brother Zihou, immigration is still in the future, but many people from Jiaozhi returned to their homes one after another, and there may be many disputes in the future."

"What are the great ideas of Zi'an?"

"Two ways to deal with it are: one is to gather them together. However, I think it is inappropriate. Once they are gathered, if someone is interested in inciting them, Jiaozhi will be difficult to stabilize. Therefore, there is only the second way. Continue to evacuate and maintain the proportion of Jiaozhi people in each village in the future. Then warn subordinate officials to treat them equally. However, if Jiaozhi people are unruly, they must be severely punished. Use both kindness and power, with grace as the main and power as the auxiliary. After several years, the country will be safe."

It's easy to say, but difficult to do.

Therefore, Wang Ju strongly recommended Zhang Dun to come. Other officials were not strong enough, or did not know the military, and there would be trouble in the future.

Of course, there is another way, that is, before, try to kill as much as possible... But Wang Jushi could not take action, and he mainly expelled. Although many people died, many people escaped. Later, some people swept along with the refugees and were sent to the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty and could not think of it. However, many people escaped to Ailao, Niu Hu and other places. These people did not come back together, and they were in chaos. But some of them came back. Think about how many households there were in Jiaozhi.

Wang Ju estimated that at least 300,000 to 400,000 people have fled one after another. Although they were trembling, they fled when they saw the officers and soldiers coming, but they came back and even if they fled, they were hiding nearby. Could it be that they would be caught and killed? The big guys in the court have a big fuss?

This is Zhang Dun’s first problem. Let them come out and not hide anymore. They also want to be good people and not gather to rebel in the future.

Zhang Dun pondered.

"In fact, there is another strategy. You can write memorials and deliver them to the capital with special feet. This situation can be reported and the court can mobilize the officials below to migrate more people, which can further dilute them."

"Zi'an, do you really want to migrate all the fifth-class Israeli households in the Song Dynasty?"

"I really want to do anything, but that might be possible?" Wang Ju shook his head and said, Wang Gui counted it. Now the Song Dynasty is close to 16 million households. Wang Ju must know this statistics, because Wang Ju also sent officials to count the number of households in Guangdong and Guangxi. However, I don't know how many households there were in the entire Song Dynasty, but I can guess it. Because of the dense population, it can be said that the entire Song Dynasty's households below the fifth grade can be close to 40%. If Wang Ju moves, he can move 6 million households?

It can only be said that after his efforts, compared with another time and space in the same time, the land pressure in some areas may be more alleviated, and the extremely poor people will be less.

But this time, because of the need for benevolence, more than one million people were scattered to the southeastern states. Be kind... If the Jin people were not allowed to go south after the great changes in the king, at the current rate of population growth, there would be 30 million households in a hundred years. The Song Dynasty might have a serious crisis.

In fact, in history, Fang La Uprising at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty was not only caused by the birth gift of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, but the land was very tight at that time, with 22 million households, so how could the land not be tight? What’s so bad is that there was still the small glacier at that time (small smaller than the late Ming Dynasty), and even heavy snow fell in Lingnan...

This is the real internal reason.

However, Wang Ju did not study this history in his previous life, so it is difficult to draw conclusions.

That is, the possible rise of the Jin people, the small glacier, and the huge population. If Wang Ju cannot successfully find miscellaneous grains from the real shore of the ocean and promote them on a large scale, at the Song Dynasty's population growth rate, even if Jiaozhi and Guangnan were developed, there would be 60 to 70% of the country's destruction within a hundred years. It is not the external destruction, but many people in the country cannot eat enough and forced to revolt.

Therefore, Wang Ju tried his best to migrate the people, but the court had many ideas... Wang Ju didn't want to say anything anymore.

Wang Ju said the second thing again. He took out the map of Jiaozhi Road and said, "Brother Zihou, please see, it turns out that Jiaozhi Road has become slender from Jiaozhou to the south, but Jiaozhi snatched some territory from Niu Hu and Ailao people to the west. Therefore, this section in Jiaozhou is better, but when it comes to Aizhou, it begins to become slender again."

Zhang Dun looked at the map and said that Aizhou was Qinghua Prefecture on Qinghua Road in Jiaozhi. He asked Wang Ju to change back to Aizhou. How narrow is this place, less than two hundred miles, which is usually a Ding Zhuang. If you move forward lightly, you can walk from east to west in two days.

In its west, there are Ailao people. With Changshan as the boundary, they mostly live in mountainous areas. If the barbarians in the mountainous areas have stabilized Jiaozhi Road in the future, then these barbarians will go down the mountain to plunder again. However, they are so narrow and cannot defend well.

"Brother Zihou, so I let General Hebin stay and there are still 10,000 officers and soldiers. Let him cooperate with you in the future. If possible, start from Aizhou and go south. Try to make the barbarians in this section of the mountain convince and naturalize them, just like you did in Meishan Barbarians, and then use the Changshan Mountains as the boundary. One is to prevent the barbarians from going down the mountain to plunder, and the other is to prevent the future real La invasion."

"The country Zhenla is not small."

"Brother Zihou, don't worry, although Zhenla is big, there are mostly backward areas inside," Wang Ju talked about the situation of Zhenla again.

"No wonder you recommended me to Jiaozhi."

"Brother Zihou, if you do well, it will be enough to make your name come to history and shine through the ages." Wang Ju comforted. But apart from Zhang Dun, it is really difficult to find a suitable candidate. It is necessary to do it. Otherwise, in the future, the people from the inland will settle down one after another. They will be miserable people. Once they adapt to the climate here, with this fertile land with sufficient water, Wang Ju estimated that some people can work hard and even make the crops ripen and ripen three times a year. Then this area can quickly become better. However, the people are docile inland people. You can imagine the consequences.

Don't really think that Ailao people are good people...

Therefore, only by continuing to explore westward and using Changshan as the city wall can we protect the safety of the rear.

Zhang Dun smiled bitterly and said, "If this is the case, how can ten thousand soldiers be enough?"

"It's not enough. But by next year, more soldiers will be drawn out... and I have prepared a lot of supplies in Jiaozhou City (Shenglong City) for your dispatch, and I will also send some managers to assist you. They have placed many immigrants overseas before and are quite experienced."

"What does next year mean?"

Wang Ju said: "Please wait."

He went to the study and took out a stack of files and said, "Brother Zihou, please take a look."

After Zhang Dun left the Sansi, he has been at the bottom for the past few years. He is not sure what Wang Ju did in the south. Although he occasionally had letters, Wang Ju would not say in the letter that I became interested in Dali. So after reading it, he said, "This is the third country, the fourth country."

He was also frightened.

"Does Brother Zihou think it's inappropriate?"

"This is Dali, far larger than Jiaozhi."

"Yes, I thought about it, but there are many benefits. Once you get Dali, it is still feasible to manage it in my way. Then the vast majority of Shengman in the southern part of Bashu and Kuixia areas will be sandwiched between them and lose their greatest reliance. At least you dare not harm the Han area as unscrupulously as before."

This reason is insufficient.

So Wang Ju changed his statement: "Brother Zihou, where is my northwest?"

"Western Xia Tubo."

The Huangzhou area is the real core of Tubo, so Tubo cannot be considered a country destroyed now. Even the saying that Wang Ju said that half of Tubo was destroyed cannot be established.

"If there was a cavalry in the north destroyed the Western Xia Tubo and divided the troops into two groups, one was to use troops to Bashu, and the other was to divide the troops from west Shu to move south, pointing to Dali, what would happen?"

If that were the case, the north and south would most likely be lost, and the Song Dynasty would be in danger. Because it controlled Bashu, it would undoubtedly control the upper source of the river and threaten the security of Jiangnan. If the Jiangnan was lost, the Song Dynasty would still exist without the southeast granary?

However, Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Not to mention that Xixia and Tubo are difficult to annihilate. Even if it is annihilated, most of the west of Shu are snow-capped mountains and large grasslands, and there are not even decent roads. How can we enter Dali from west Shu?"

"Brother Zihou, there are all kinds, just like before, can you guess that I would invite the king and ministers of Chameng to the capital?"

"What a powerful country? What a powerful army?" Zhang Dun said. The meaning of words is that you can destroy Chameng, but you can destroy Western Xia and Tubo, and you can also bring an army from western Shu to Dali? Besides, did the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi Road in the Song Dynasty grow up by eating vegetarian food?

"Brother Zihou, there is no eternal country. No matter which dynasty or generation, there will be a time of rise and decline. If the Central Plains decline and the North rises, this will be possible."

But Zhang Dun didn't believe it, but Wang Juzhen only used the power in his hand to destroy Dali, so he was still very welcome. So he said, "Zi'an, you must think twice before you act."

The military achievements are very good now, no matter what means they use, they are truly destroying the two countries. If the desires are unfulfilled and the conquest of Dali is unsuccessful, it is not a spoil, but an immediate entry into hell. At that time, it will be just a literati and a wise man, and Wang Ju's career will come to an end.

"I'm still thinking about it." Wang Ju said. However, he did not continue the topic of Dali, but instead introduced Jiaozhi's situation in detail.

The next day, Zhang Dun left Yongzhou and went to Jiaozhou City. It was very fast, and the northwest wind was about to come. The officials went south one after another, and the people were about to arrive soon. The resettlement of only tens of thousands of households gave him a headache. Although Wang Juhui sent some helpers to help him, he had to further understand the situation in Jiaozhi.

"Official, I'm a little worried." Qiongniang said after Wang Ju sent Zhang Dun away.

"Worry about Dali?"

"I'm a little worried." said Qiong Niang.

Maybe he could destroy Dali, but Wang Ju only asked the court for eight thousand soldiers and horses, and the rest was the power in Wang Ju's hands, but this power would have to be divided into ten thousand soldiers and horses to station in Jiaozhi, so victory or defeat was a bit difficult to say.

Wang Julai recalled with great attention and tried hard.

It seems that Kublai Khan led a 100,000 army to set off in September of a certain year. But he did not go south immediately and had to make a lot of preparations. He also made a lot of preparations. He even believed that he was more sufficient than Kublai Khan. There was no other way, he was not far away from Sichuan.

This time cannot be counted.

Therefore, in September of "another one", Kublai Khan divided his troops southward, traveling two or three thousand miles from west Sichuan, and arrived at the bank of the Jinsha River in November. Of course, this journey was extremely difficult, and only 20,000 cavalrymen were left in the end. Then he sent people to surrender, but the Duan family did not surrender. So the Mongolian cavalry continued to go south and occupied the capital of Dali in December. It took only three or four months until the war was decided to win. Because of the heavy losses, Kublai Khan's goal of attacking Sichuan between the north and the south was unable to achieve the goal of Kublai Khan's north and south attack. However, it also forced the Song Dynasty to increase heavy troops to Sichuan, resulting in the emptiness of the middle line. In fact, it was a different method and achieved the strategic intention of destroying the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty later recaptured Yunnan and the Qing Dynasty wiped out Wu Sangui, so there was no need to learn from it, because that was not the Dali Kingdom.

But that was the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty. How far is the army in their hands?

In fact, the combat effectiveness of this force in Wang Ju's hands is still very optimistic.

In addition to the original local soldiers recruited, the Ziqi Man and some barbarian areas around the Yizhou of Hengshan Mountain forced the barbarians to hand over more than 20,000 children. Although the wars caused a large number of casualties, various accidental casualties, including a small number of soldiers who died of malaria and died of death, they now have more than 110,000 troops in their hands. Even if they handed over 10,000 troops for Zhang Dun to dispatch, there were still 100,000 troops available.

I deliberately trained more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 "special forces" from it, just picking out some elites and training them to fight under various special terrains such as mountains and forests. In addition, more than 20,000 "multiple soldiers", that is, the Song army sandwiched among the refugees, can fight land or water. Furthermore, more than 10,000 medical warriors, while training them to fight, they can master some easy medical knowledge, and they can be regarded as soldiers on the battlefield and as temporary doctors after the war. And 80% of the soldiers have been tested in actual combat... in the end they have used extravagant troops, just like in the battle to destroy Champa, who used more than 70,000 soldiers, but took out nearly 5 million as rewards and pensions.

Although this is expensive, it can stimulate the morale of the soldiers.

The terrain and climate are also suitable. Perhaps the local soldiers in Guangnan are not very adaptable to it, but in Dali, there is absolutely no problem.

Besides, Kumamoto, who is very familiar with the southwest, brought Miao Shu and Liu Changzuo, two tiger generals, to cooperate on the side of Bashu.

Is it OK?

It will not be difficult to actually destroy Dali. Although Dali is vast, don’t think too much about their combat effectiveness. The main reason is that time cannot be delayed for too long. Once it is delayed for a long time, the financial and material resources cannot keep up. In addition, it seems that Dali is not very helpful to the Song Dynasty, and it may become a burden, so the court will issue an edict to stop the army.

At that time... all previous efforts were wasted!

It can be said that it is a real extravagance, because from then on, Dali will inevitably have a feud with the Song Dynasty, and the huge gains will not be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Wang Ju was indeed a little hesitant.

But at this moment, Dali sent an envoy to come.

Wang Ju wrote to Dali, you must hand over the children of the Li Dynasty's royal family and some important officials.

Many people in Jiaozhi fled to Dali, but Dali said it was innocent, so he sent an envoy.

However, Wang Ju looked at the name posted by Bai and was extremely surprised because the person who came was a martial arts master who was on par with Hong Qi...

He chuckled: "Nether Nan." (To be continued)
