Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1173 two questions

Outside Yangping Pass, the army meanders. This time when Fei sneaked into Hanzhong, there were only 4,500 soldiers. Later, more than 1,000 soldiers came from Guanzhong, and now Li Ru and Huang Cheng are left with 1,500 soldiers each. Apart from people, when leaving Yangping Pass, the number of troops led by Fei Qian not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

It's just that these increased numbers are not elite, or even full-time soldiers. Most of them are civil servants or laborers. These people are responsible for transporting a large amount of equipment and materials, and they are loaded on more than 200 trucks to drag the entire queue. It's very long.

   "Wenyou has something to say, why not just say it..."

   Fei Qian sat on the horseback, staggered, looked at the long queue going northwest, said to Li Ru, and then nodded to Huang Cheng.

  Huang Cheng understood, bowed his hands to Fei Qian, then pulled the reins, stopped, and staggered a certain distance from Fei Qian and Li Ru.

  Huang Cheng's appearance is simple and honest, but he is actually very smart. Fei Qian didn't need to say anything, and he showed a certain amount of space. Anyway, Huang Cheng is considered half of his own family, and he has explained everything that needs to be explained, so there is no need to talk too much about it. To open up a trade route to Hanzhong, half depends on manpower and half depends on God.

  After all, from Shangyong to Jingxiang, the most convenient way is to go by water, but the current shipping technology in the Han Dynasty is still in its infancy, so take your time...

As Hanzhong's administrative framework is gradually established and improved, it is not very meaningful for Fei Qian to stay in Hanzhong to guard. Therefore, he moved his division and withdrew to Guanzhong. After all, only Fei Qian left with his soldiers. These guys would be relieved, otherwise everyone would stare at Fei Qian's shining tricolor flag and dare not move.

  Although it is said that Feiqian released goodwill and Brazil County also responded, it is only the beginning after all. The trust and mutual cooperation between the two parties still need a certain amount of time to run in. Everything about Sichuan and Shu has just begun.

Just now in front of Yangping Pass, the rest of the officials staying in Hanzhong were there, and Li Ru had some things to say that were not easy to say, so Li Ru insisted on sending Fei Qian another way, and Fei Qian knew that Li Ru must have something to say .

"General..." Li Ru pondered for a while, and said slowly, "There are many people involved in the Guanzhong... If it succeeds, it will be the center of the hegemony. , according to someone's opinion, the disposal can be postponed..."

   After finishing speaking, Li Ru turned to look at Fei Qian, with expectations and worries in his eyes.

Fei Qian is the most thoughtful and courageous person Li Ru has ever met. He even has a lot of ideas. Li Ru never thought about it. Maybe when Jia Xu persuaded him to come out of the mountain again, he still had something in his heart. Nothing, but since communicating and exchanging with each other for a period of time, Li Ru really hopes that Fei Qian can go further, and see if what Fei Qian described can be realized in the future.

  The premise of these is naturally that Fei Qian must not only maintain the current foundation, but also continue to strengthen himself and accumulate strength...

   But Fei Qian is so young.

  Because I am young, I have dreams, but also because I am young, I am easily impulsive. Li Ru has seen too many young people gain a certain status and power and then quickly fall...

  Although there is one or another reason, but being young and not calm when encountering situations, leading to repeated mistakes in actions and ultimately irreversible, is also one of the most common factors.

  Although Fei Qian is still more stable than most of his peers, Li Ru is still a little worried, so I want to emphasize that he is worried that Fei Qian will be angered by these jumping clowns and do some impulsive things.

   After all, considering the overall situation, Guanzhong needs more stability.

"This..." Fei Qian thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Wenyou's meaning, I also understand... that's all, if Sichuan and Shu are uncertain, I will protect Guanzhong from chaos! Xu, hehe, be tolerant for a while It doesn't matter if the day…”

  The same rice raises hundreds of people, the bigger the land, the bigger the forest, and there are all kinds of birds.

  Yes, something happened to Zuo Fengyi, but it was not a big deal.

  Xu Shu's implementation of the Juetian system and new taxes and land taxes in Zuo Fengyi naturally touched the interests of some big local households, and among them, Zuo Fengyi and Xu's family were the most dissatisfied, criticized and stirred up restlessness...

  Because the time for this year's Autumn Fu has not yet arrived, these people from Zuo Fengyi are just talking about it, saying that they want to fight. As for any action, they have basically not yet. It’s as if the community properties in later generations are going to change the original free parking lot to a fee, and post the relevant charging standards and systems. These owners who are used to the free Guanzhong Zuo Fengyi will naturally gather to protest. But the problem is that the property of Feiqian has not officially collected money yet, so the intensity of the protest cannot be very high.

   So what is Feiqian going to do now?

  Gather a group of people and kill the entire family of Zuo Fengyi's owners in one go?

   Fei Qian understood what Li Ru meant. What Li Ru was worried about was not the owners of Zuo Fengyi, nor the life and death of these guys, but the overall layout.

In Feiqian’s current territory, there are Pingyang Yinshan Mountains in the north, Hanzhong in the south, and interlinkages in the middle. Only such an area can be regarded as a whole. If there is chaos in Guanzhong, Pingyang and Hanzhong will become two independent enclaves invisibly. , No matter from that angle, it will have a great negative impact on future development, and there will even be some chain reactions.

Originally, Zuo Fengyi was just a protruding part of Feiqian's territory, but now it has become a hinterland. Therefore, at this stage, Hanzhong can be chaotic, and only when it is chaotic can fish in troubled waters, but Guanzhong cannot be chaotic. It can only be Wen. After the political structure is stabilized , and then go back and deal with these jumping people.

   Seeing Fei Qian's mastery, Li Ru also breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and said: "The general is in Chang'an, there must be a big family offering singers and dancers..."

   "Wen You is worried that someone is obsessed with women?" Fei Qian said with a laugh.

   "No," Li Ru said solemnly, "If you don't break through this barrier, how can you become a hero? I just think that the general has no heirs, so I might as well choose the best and accept him, and spread the leaves..."

   "This..." Fei Qian didn't expect Li Ru to say this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a little embarrassment, "This matter...someone knows..."

Seeing this, Li Ru did not continue the topic, but took out a kit from the leather robe, presented it to Fei Qian, and said: "The general wants to secure the pass, so I have a second strategy, so I can put it in this bag... "

   Tips?

  When will Li Ru do this?

...

  Isn’t this the wooden signboard for immigration policy that Feiqian gave to Li Ru at the beginning?

  Why does Li Ru still keep it?

   "This thing was at the time..." Li Ru said with a mocking smile, "If it weren't for a certain person's personal experience, it would be hard to say that the general is a prophet with far-reaching plans..."

   "Aha, this..."

   "The journey of the army must not be delayed... I have another thing in my bag, and I will leave it to the general for entertainment on the road..." Li Ru got off his horse, stood respectfully on one side, and bowed deeply, "I respectfully send off General Zhengxi..."

   Huang Cheng on the side also dismounted, half kneeling on the ground.

   Fei Qian hurriedly got off his horse, helped the two of them up, and left without saying anything else.

   Returning to Hanzhong this time, Feiqian made a detour to Qishan and went back to Guanzhong on Longyou. On the one hand, the Tangluo Road is too difficult to climb, and Fei Qian really doesn’t want to climb it a second time, and the Baoxie Road is also under repair, not completely repaired, the same is true for the Meridian Road, and some supplies have to be brought back to Guanzhong Therefore, in comparison, although the Longyou line is relatively long, it is flat and convenient, and Feiqian is not in a hurry, so he naturally chose to take the easy route.

  Including Qishan, it is more or less a scenic spot. It is a rare opportunity to come here, so I have to go and see it, isn’t it?

Perhaps after climbing the Tangluo Road, Fei Qian now feels that the current road is simply flat, and with Xu Huang leading the soldiers, Fei Qian does not need to worry too much, so he pondered the tips given by Li Ru .

  The first wooden sign, Li Ru’s meaning can be summed up as one word “Min”.

  But it seems simple to say, but it is actually not simple.

  Just like Fei Qian left the subject of Hanzhong to Li Ru, Li Ru also left the subject of Guanzhong to Fei Qian...

  Li Ru still only calls himself a general...

   Both of them are still in the inspection period...

   Fei Qian couldn't help laughing at himself.

   Li Ru is like this, isn’t it the same for Fei Qian?

  Why Li Ru was assigned to Hanzhong? On the one hand, Li Ru is indeed suitable, and on the other hand, it is nothing more than transferring Li Ru, so that Fei Qian can have some time to reorganize and master the troops brought by Li Ru.

   It's just that Fei Qian really didn't expect that the wooden sign came back to him after going around and around.

  Fei Qian stroked the wooden sign, feeling a little sentimental in his heart.

  Li Ru's suggestion is really good.

  Catch the people first, which is the original function of this wooden sign, to stabilize the hearts of the people, calm the refugees, promote production, and stabilize the customs. The current situation is somewhat similar to when the capital was moved back then. There were refugees all over the country, but at that time there were mostly refugees in Heluo, but now there are mostly refugees in Guanzhong. Diving hands.

After all, transporting grain and grass from Hanzhong to Guanzhong is not a long-term solution. All grain is imported. This situation is extremely unstable whether it is in the Han Dynasty or later generations. important things.

but…

  Li Ru handed back the wooden plaque, does it mean something?

   Feiqian sat on the horseback and wobbled. He couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He put the wooden sign back in the kit, and took out another sign in the kit.

This sign is a bit heavy, most of it should be copper, but it is also mixed with some other metals, resulting in some of the whole wooden sign not only heavy, but also without any copper rust. In the middle of the sign, there is only a simple Single Xiaozhuan - "Qin".

   Apart from this, there is nothing special.

   "Qin?"

   Fei Qian murmured and repeated, a little confused.

Seeing the word "Qin", it is natural to think of the Qin Dynasty at the first time. This is a word with magic power. This is a magical dynasty, which can always inadvertently evoke the strongest feelings of Chinese people. Remembrance, Anger, admiration, awe will all come together, and then finally dissolve into a soft sigh.

  As the first centralized dynasty to adopt the county system, it has been imitated throughout the feudal society of China and has not been surpassed.

Although the later dynasties changed counties to prefectures, or what kind of road or road, but in fact they still changed the soup without changing the medicine, and there was no breakthrough progress, and the political structure of the feudal class was not too novel. The change. Such a vassal state in the west, which was still inconspicuous in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty, determined the direction of China's political structure that lasted for thousands of years, which has to make people sigh.

The system of prefectures and counties in the Qin Dynasty can be said to be a step ahead. Looking at the Han Dynasty now, and even later in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, as well as my Qing Dynasty, which was advocated by many brickmen called beasts in later generations, it still adopted the skeleton structure of counties and counties. At most, add some other plug-in systems outside.

   It was this one step ahead, which led to constant disputes in various places in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. The old aristocrats stirred up troubles, coupled with the anti-matter law of causality that a great father must have a bear child, the Qin Dynasty could not survive in the end...

The Qin people who have come all the way from the war are used to non-stop fighting, but they don't realize that it contains the seeds of destruction. Hundreds of years of uninterrupted wars have made the Qin people become masters of war. They are good at surviving in war, but I don't know how to maintain peace, and when unification really comes, I am at a loss and don't know how to face it.

  The rainy night in Daze Township opened the prelude to the demise of the Qin Dynasty. The rule of the Qin Dynasty was finally overthrown. With the establishment of Confucianism as the orthodox thought of the country, the intellectuals began to spare no effort to criticize the Qin Dynasty. The practice of smearing Qin has been passed down from generation to generation of Confucian dynasties, and Qin has also been deliberately portrayed as a negative model, so Qin's ancestors were dressed up as Xi Rong, a foreign race, and Qin Shihuang was fabricated as Lu Buwei's son born with ulterior motives...

But in any case, more than four hundred years have passed since the Qin Dynasty. Even the hardest city wall has collapsed. No matter how sharp the bronze sword is, it cannot withstand the ring-shou knife. The past is the past after all, and what is lost will not in regaining.

  It is impossible for the Qin Dynasty to be reestablished, and there is no meaning of reestablishing it, but if it is not the Qin of the Qin Dynasty, then the word "Qin" is the Qin of Qin Shi?

Now that Feiqian has taken Hanzhong, if he gets Sichuan and Shu again, he will basically have the same power as the Qin Dynasty in the Warring States period, with the richness of the land of Bashu and the richness of the land of Guanzhong, plus the defense of Tongguan. Valleys, and steep mountains and rivers, basically, it is somewhat similar to the Qin Dynasty sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight...

   But the question is, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the Qin Dynasty sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, can it be successful in the current Han Dynasty? Will these Shandong nobles obediently act according to the script, choose the strongest one first, and then turn around and face Fei Qian?

   Obviously impossible.

  Normally speaking, once Feiqian dominates, he will inevitably suffer joint attacks from the surrounding areas. Isn’t that the case in the Three Kingdoms?

Furthermore, let’s not say that Feiqian has not obtained Sichuan and Shu now, not to mention that Feiqian is going back to Guanzhong. Although the overall strategy is somewhat related to Sichuan and Shu, after all, the geographical location is one south and one north. The so-called Qin situation, There is not much involved in solving the problems in Guanzhong at the moment...

  So although it is interesting, it is not like Qin Shi's Qin.

  So, what does the word "Qin" left by Li Ru actually represent?
