Chapter 784 Manipur
After Wang Ju left, Zhang Qi pacified Tengchong Prefecture, but this pacification only refers to the east of Kaijiang River, that is, the Enmeikai River, and only below Gaoligong Mountain. The section to the west of Gaoligong Mountain was also not used for military use due to terrain and environment. Bumandian (north side of Ruili) also did not use military use for the south.
Even this area is not small, with a little high altitude, but not terrible. There are many rivers, green mountains and clear waters, and the local farmland is not good, but the animal husbandry industry is very good, so the war horses produced since ancient times are quite famous.
In fact, this area of control has passed the borders of the Celestial Empire in later generations, but Wang Ju can't remember it clearly, even if he remembers it, it doesn't matter.
Zhang Qi's thoughts are similar to Wang Ju. Except for the battle to snipe the Bagan Kingdom to expand north, the rest of the troops can be used only if they can control them. If they cannot control them, they will be appeased and restrained.
However, at that time, Zhang Shi received a huge amount of funding from Wang, and most of the troubles Wang Shi had been solved. Many areas even changed their territory and restored their territory, laying a good foundation for Zhang Shi.
Therefore, Zhang Zhi devoted some energy to this area to encourage the people to raise various horses, and migrated some people to grazing. At the same time, he invited some merchants to give them some preferential policies, allowing them to sell horses here with other livestock, or animal husbandry products, such as fur tendons and manes for sale. At the same time, some roads were built to facilitate the exchanges of the people.
In this way, the lives of the people in this area will immediately improve.
But the situation is similar to Pu'anzhou, or even worse, because the Jiang side is a nude tribe, and the people are wearing only leaves or animal leather skirts. When the weather is hot, they really don't wear any clothes.
That is, it is similar to primitive society.
But it cannot be regarded as a primitive society. After all, Dali is more civilized than when Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo for seven times.
Under the aura of Dali civilization, some of these tribes began to become civilized and had some contacts with the people on the Jiang side, including transactions, all of which were bartered.
After Zhang Qi defeated the Bagan people, 6 continued to lay off some troops. In fact, since Wang Ju took Dali, 6 continued to cut off and Dali won. It is impossible for the south to continue to raise so many local soldiers, so the finance department would not be able to bear it. In order to conquer these two routes, many soldiers were sacrificed. Guangnan West Road was time to rest and rest.
Therefore, under the 6th continuous reduction, there were only more than 40,000 local soldiers on Guangnan West Road, and there were still 20,000 local soldiers. They were garrisoned in Dali and Jiaozhi, and in addition, Jiaozhi and Dali also began to recruit their own local soldiers. At the same time, Zhang Yu trained 5,000 cavalry, half-herd and half-armored here based on the terrain of Tengchong Prefecture.
Miao Lu used troops to the southwest Yi, so he borrowed the five thousand cavalry from Zhong Shidao.
These five thousand cavalry played an important role in this battle, but at the same time, the troops in Tengchong Mansion were empty. What was fatal was that Wang Zhang and the other two changed their territory and returned to the current, which made some barbarian chiefs dissatisfied. Don’t ask about the barbarian chiefs, how to completely change their territory and return to the current with the terrain here? In fact, more than half of the areas are still banish areas.
These barbarian chiefs took this opportunity to collude dozens of large tribes of naked-shaped tribes, and invaded Tengchong Prefecture. Although Yao Xiong led his soldiers to arrive, many horses, livestock and the people were washed away.
However, the weather gradually became hot at this time, and it was not suitable to use troops in the hot south, so Zhong Yao and the others endured it.
Then the two of them discussed a plan together and deliberately threatened that the southwestern Yi was in chaos again and transferred the thousands of cavalry. Not only were the cavalry transferred, but some of the surrounding local infantry were also transferred.
These barbarian chiefs have any information channels, so they came again.
As a result, seven or eight thousand soldiers of the naked-shaped tribe fell into an ambush circle together, either being shot dead or captured.
Not only were these warriors from the naked figure, but also these barbarian chiefs also sent their soldiers to secretly participate, just in time, and they were killed together.
It was not considered a super-large battle. However, it lasted a little long, until Zhong Shixiong's memorial was sent to the capital, and the battle was not over yet. At least these barbarian chiefs had been publicly betrayed and had to sweep them one by one. Although they were not as powerful as Qidi, and they did not have the appeal of Qidi, the terrain was too complicated, and it was impossible to end it in a short time.
But a new question is here.
So what should we do with these prisoners of war?
Mr. Zhong dared not learn from Wang Ju, and sold them into mineral slaves together.
As for killing, they dare not kill, and release it will cause disaster again. Therefore, after everyone discusses, let them build roads.
Suddenly, a local aide said, "It's better to build a road to Sla Country." Zhong Shixiong was puzzled and asked where Sla Country was. The aide pointed to the place west of Mount Naga on the map.
Mr. Zhong asked again, isn’t that Tianzhu?
The staff officer also said that India is also divided into many countries.
With this statement, Zhong Shixiong could understand it.
Moreover, it doesn't look too far. It only takes about a thousand miles from Tengchong Prefecture City. If this business road is opened up so that Dali and Tianzhu can communicate, not to mention commerce, all aspects will have a positive impact, including religious culture, etc., and may be famous in history.
Not only that, Zhang Yue also set up many trades in Dali, such as Jiuxian City, Sanxian City, and Hetou City in the northwest, which were mainly traded with Tubo, Atou City and Mangpu City in the northwest, mainly traded with the southwest Yi, Moxie City, Mengyang City, and Mengling City in the south, mainly traded with Jingfeng Man and the Bagan people.
In fact, the ban area belonging to Dali has to go south. The three trades in the south are only on both sides of the later Tian Dynasty's border line, but further south, it cannot be managed and the terrain is even more complicated! And even now that the Song Dynasty's control efforts gradually began to decline, and 80% were ban areas. As for the city, it cannot be called a city. It was just a simple city wall to be built to garrison troops or protect the safety of the trade.
However, these eight interchange markets have a great effect. They not only bring a lot of taxes to the two routes of Yunnan every year, but also prosper the surrounding economy and expand the influence and radiation power of the Song Dynasty.
So in this environment, the proposal of this staff officer named Ding made Master Zhong ambitious, so he wrote a memorial, one was to ask the court for money. This battle would not only make Tengchong Prefecture more stable in the future, but also because most of the strong soldiers of the naked-shaped tribes west of Kaijiang were wiped out due to the war, and the court could open up to the west of Kaijiang. However, in this way, the finance of Yunnan West Road alone could not be paid. So the money was asked for
In addition, whether this huge road construction plan can be implemented, and Zhong Shixiong also drew a schematic diagram of this road in the future.
In fact, this Sla Kingdom is the Sla dynasty in the history of India. But it is not an independent dynasty, and it is sincerely convinced by the more powerful Polo dynasty.
When this Polo dynasty was the most powerful, it included the entire central and northern India, as well as Bangladesh and Pakistan, but the Green Cult came. How could the Buddhist countries beat the Green Cultists? In addition, the Luoshukudat people in the south began to be strong, so the three parties launched a three-country melee in Qunu City in the late Tang Dynasty. The Polo dynasty began to decline. Although it was a little revived at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the trend of revival was soon interrupted by the Julu dynasty in the south.
The fleet on the other side also has trade with the Jura Dynasty, and has a powerful navy. It also uses this navy to continuously spread its sphere of influence to the entire southern and eastern coastlines of India, but how they expand. It has nothing to do with the other side. We are here to do business, not to compete for territory with you.
It is precisely because they control the coastline, including those on the ship, that they have never heard of the Polo dynasty or the Sla dynasty.
Now the Polo dynasty of this Buddhist country is only a little bit left, and it has shrunk to the inner 6, and its control over the Sla dynasty has become very weak. It may be wiped out by the Green and Green in a few decades, leading to the complete decline of Buddhism in India and replaced by Brahmanism and Green religion.
Wang Ju had no idea about these inside stories.
But even if he knows, he will not revitalize the Buddhist country.
However, he looked at the road diagram and was a little stunned. Where did this lead? It seemed to be the Manipur, the East China, known as India. He still remembered that in his previous life, it seemed that this area was mostly yellow people, not dark brown people, so he spoke more Chinese and Tibetan languages and maintained various traditional Chinese customs. This shows that there are many descendants of Chinese people in the area. Has anyone migrated there since now?
Zhao Xu was quite moved.
Buddhism was about to fall into the late Indian state, but it was the largest religion in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, everyone was curious about Tianzhu, and not only Zhao Xu and Han Zhen were also moved.
Wang Ju looked at their expressions and said, "Your Majesty, you must issue an edict first to ask Zhong Shidao to stop any thoughts west of Kaijiang."
“Why?”
"Where is more backward and barbaric than the Southwest Barbarians? If you are restrained like before, it will be irrelevant. However, the management of semi-regulated (referring to the imperial court's appointment of officials, soldiers and servants to manage, but cannot have real right to order the villages and villages, and the right to order is still controlled by the barbarian chiefs). It has little effect. Instead, the imperial court will spend a lot of extra money every year. Only by changing the land to return to the current, once the land to return to the current, it has to continue to use troops. Not to mention the cost of using troops, only these areas
In itself, they are extremely backward and closed. If you want to manage, you must open it, including building roads, building schools, laying farm tools, and teaching them advanced planting methods. Therefore, when the seedlings are in the middle and the seedlings are developing southwestern barbarians, I allocated five million yuan to save it for the cost of people's livelihood in these areas. Therefore, Zhang Zhifu, after me, operated Yunnan Road, west of Kaijiang and most of the Jingfengman areas, there was no operation. The terrain was too complex and the people were too backward. If you want to operate, the cost was extremely high."
So Wang Ju took an extremely cruel approach to Jiaozhi.
But now, despite everyone's opposition, we go to so many natives to clean up this area.
Moreover, these areas are very closed, and even if they are cleaned, there is no intention of the people to migrate.
"If the imperial court had a wealthy finances after the Western Xia Dynasty were pacified, then it could still be managed in moderation. In fact, it was like that. It would be better to operate the southwest Yi country, China, if you have to use a lot of money to pile it up."
This country and China have made everyone feel uncomfortable.
However, there is one thing Wang Ju didn't say, just use a lot of money to pile up, and at most it can protect itself here in the future, so I can't expect this area to create much wealth for the court. Maybe a lot of money and silk will be piled up, barely opening up roads in various regions, with some water conservancy and some schools, and the country still needs to spend money to subsidize every year.
But to that point, at least the people in this area have indeed benefited.
Not to mention the country's enslavement, this principle is the same as the original Meishan Man and later North Korea. The more closed and backward the people are, the more difficult the people are.
"The country has great benefits, just like the two routes of Dali and Yunnan. After several years of governance, our dynasty will inevitably benefit. However, when I first developed, I also took a fancy to their foundation. When I went to Xixia, the court could not directly benefit even if it obtained Xixia. On the contrary, in the previous few years, I had to spend a lot of money to govern and stabilize the people. However, without the threat of Xixia, our dynasty would not be attacked on both sides in the north, so there was a correct reason to manage Xixia. However, I could not open the borders all the time, otherwise I would make the mistake of Emperor Minghuang of Tang."
Han Zhen said: "What Zi'an said is very true."
"So what about this road?" Zhao Xu asked.
"The local staff said it was only a thousand miles away. It seemed that it had not been far from Jingzhao Prefecture to Jingcheng. In fact, it could not be only a thousand miles away. Of course, it was not even further from Jingzhao Prefecture to Jingcheng. The main places were mountainous areas, with many steep rivers and mountains, with lush trees and green onions. His Majesty could hardly imagine, because there were no dense forests in the north at all. There were tall trees, shrubs, short grass and thorns, and many areas with real miasma."
"Real miasma?"
"It is because some areas have many ** objects, and the terrain and other factors cause poisonous gas in the air, and there are also many poisonous insects and giant mosquitoes, so the cost of building this road is unimaginable. Of course, if it can be repaired well, there will be many benefits. Not to mention anything else, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road is also rugged and difficult, with high mountain snow fields and many uninhabited areas. However, it is precisely because of this Ancient Road that feeds many people. Moreover, it can reach India directly."
After saying this, Zhao Xu was a little dizzy.
"Your Majesty, you can issue an edict. The court allocates 10,000 stones of gunpowder, one million pieces of silk, and 500,000 stags of copper coins and one million stags of silk to the governor to build the road. They should be built with this money and silk, but the tax on Yunnan Road must not be misappropriated. Otherwise, if the road is repaired, there will be a great riot on Yunnan Road. If it is insufficient, then reduce the project volume and reduce the width of the road."
Just open it up, don’t take it seriously, build a luxurious road.
This is also a more rational approach.
Zhao Xu was also correct.
Wang Ju walked away from Zhongshu, but sighed a little.
It seems that the soldiers from the south have indeed been fired, but they are used.
In addition to suppressing some rebellions, it is impossible for the court to continue to use large-scale troops in the south. That is not to use troops, but to ignore the importance of the troops.
But these soldiers cannot be transferred to the north, even if they are transferred to the north, they will most likely be able to eat dishes.
Moreover, after such trouble between Zhong Yao and the others, nearly ten million yuan has continued.
Not only these expenses, Yao Lin went to Hedong with the general manager of the Taiyuan Prefecture, but not in Taiyuan, but was responsible for the training and reclaiming of new recruits in Lanzhou and Shizhou. These border troops must be paid, equipped with equipment and armor, and money is used everywhere.
Therefore, this 10 million yuan expenditure made Wang Jituo feel a headache.
When he got home, Wang Ju called Han Yun: "You go to Shaanxi and find out the current production of Helan stone."
This family is not easy to take on, and you still have to be angry, so you can use the Xixia people to vent your anger. (To be continued.)
