Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2619 Nanzhong, what exactly is it?

  Parents who wholeheartedly want their children to become dragons and daughters to become dragons and phoenixes are often not dragons and phoenixes. Similarly, children who only dislike their parents and hope that their children will become dragons and daughters will not become dragons and phoenixes.

  Zhuge Liang carried the expectations of his elders, and finally became a model of a "dragon".

  Chuan Shu.

  Nanzhong.

  Actually, the word Nanzhong was hooked up with Zhuge Liang in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and became a special CP. It seems that Zhuge Liang’s Ping Nanzhong is a beautiful landscape.

  Place names with the suffix of "Zhong" generally refer to a certain area, such as Hanzhong, Yunzhong, and Qianzhong, and they are still sandwiched by something. Fang calls it a certain middle, and Nanzhong is no exception.

   During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court sent Tang Meng, Sima Xiangru and others to manage the Southwest Yi area, and successively established four counties in Nanzhong, Qianwei County, Yuejuan County, Yizhou County, and Zangke County.

  In the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Ming, Zheng Chun served as the capital of the western Yizhou vassal state, "Independence is clean and honest, and he does not commit any crimes." Yi and Han sang songs, recommended countless, from the three divisions, down to Qingshi, all admired." Later, Ailao Wang Liumao and the 77 town kings under his jurisdiction finally unanimously decided to "return the whole country to the Han", and the Eastern Han Dynasty set up a Yongchang County was established, so it became the five counties of Nanzhong. Yuexi County, Qianwei State, Cang County, Yizhou County, and Yongchang County.

It is worth noting that Qianwei County was no longer among the five counties in Nanzhong, but became a vassal state of Qianwei. It can be said that during the Western Han Dynasty, Qianwei County was used as a base to migrate people southward, spread culture, and develop the economy. After the influence gradually expanded to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, After the gradual establishment of Zang Cang County and Yizhou County, the large base of Zeqianwei County completed its historical mission. The county government was moved from Yibin to Peng County in the north, and Zhaotong was known as "the key to southern Yunnan and the throat of Western Shu". Qianwei was established here as a vassal state. Controlling the Yungui Portal is undoubtedly an improvement.

Later in history, Liu Bei established the Shu Han in Sichuan and Shu, and naturally launched a further strategy for Nanzhong, implementing a more complete system of prefectures and counties, expanding the direct management area, and increasing the tax collection area. Therefore, Nanzhong rebelled, and finally It led to Zhuge Liang's conquest of Nanzhong.

  As for the so-called "seven captures of Meng Huo", that is the meritorious service of Mr. Luo.

  Historically, Zhuge Liang marched south at that time, but he didn't have much free time to do some seven captures and seven moves.

At that time, not long after Liu Bei died, Jingzhou fell completely, the grand strategy of the Shu Kingdom suffered setbacks, Cao Cao faced huge pressure in the north, Sun Quan fought three times in the east, rebellion in the south, and the Qiang rebelled in the west of Sichuan and Shu. Under such circumstances, Nanzheng is actually a process in which a scholar has to put down the pen in his hand and pick up the knife. It is really not as poetic and leisurely as Mr. Luo's writing.

   It was also after Zhuge Nanzheng that the conflict between Zhuge and Li Yan gradually intensified. It is difficult to know what happened in history, but after much deliberation, I am afraid that the word authority cannot be separated.

  Zhuge Liang is now in Nanzhong. Of course, this time he is not leading an expedition, but calling various big clans in Nanzhong to discuss.

  The main purpose is to dismantle Jianning and Nanzhong by the way. Of course, the topic on the scene is certainly not this, nor can it be so direct. .

  Jianning is also the name of the county and county only in the later period, but it might as well use it now, it is not bad in general, otherwise it is just saying Nanzhong, the scope is too wide.

  The reason for splitting Jianning is because of the Yong family.

  Yong Kai died.

  The Yong family from Shifanghou in the Western Han Dynasty perished.

  Li Hui died.

  The Li family in Yuyuan County also suffered heavy losses, and there was hardly much left.

  Gao Ding is also dead.

  Of course, Gaoding is a barbarian, and there are many barbarian tribes in the Shiwan Dashan.

   Therefore, in the area of ​​Jianning, the original order on the ground was completely broken, and of course the rest needed to be reorganized and the territory cut off. After such news, all the big surnames in Nanzhong rushed here one after another.

  The Lu family from Buwei County is here.

  The Lu family in Nanzhong can be traced back to the time of Lu Buwei. At the beginning, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei failed in the political struggle and committed suicide. Yingzheng dispatched Lu Buwei's people to Sichuan and Shu. Later, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Lu family continued to develop in Sichuan and Shu, and even the entire county was named "Buwei", which shows the strength of the Lu family.

  Buwei Lu family is mainly distributed in Buwei County, Yitang County, Bisu County, Yeyu County and other places.

  Then, during the Jianning incident, the Cuan family who had benefited also sent people here. If it is said that in Sichuan and Shu, there are barbarian Sinicization, of course, some Han people are barbarianization, the typical one is the Cuan family. The earliest ancestor of the Cuan family is said to be the Ban family. Later, the Ban family was entrusted with the food town of Cuandi because of their meritorious service, so they took "Cuan" as their surname, that is, "The fief is in Cuan, because of the clan Yan".

It's a pity that Cuan's, I don't know why, he didn't continue to go to Ban's road, but went to the direction of barbarians, basically he doesn't wear Hanfu much, and he likes to use some dyes on his face on weekdays Smearing on the body means that this is a new fashion, and those old men don't understand...

  Afterwards, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Cuan family competed, merged, and split among themselves. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was divided into Dong Cuan and Xi Cuan, and finally even directly degenerated into Wuman and Baiman.

  As for the Meng family who had a good relationship with the Cuan family, there were naturally people who came. Yes, even in history, uh, it can’t be counted in history, it can only refer to the Meng family who captured Meng Huo seven times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And it happened to be Meng Huo who came. It's just that the difference from the Romance is that Meng Huo is just an errand runner at the moment, and has nothing to do with the head of the seventy-two caves or the head of the eighty-one village.

  In addition, Jiao Shi Jiao Huang also came.

   There are also the Zhu family of the Zhu family, the Zheng family of Zheng Ang, the Lei family of Lei Dong, the Lu family of Lu Cheng, and the Xing family of Xing Lan.

  In addition, some people, such as Qiu Shi, Di Shi, etc., also came.

  These surnames basically include most of the surnames in Nanzhong. The big families are also big gentry and big landlords.

   These people with big surnames are more or less related to each other. Even if there is no marriage relationship at all, they still have three points of face, so when they gather in one place, don't mention how lively it is.

   But in the government office, Zhuge Liang was alone, standing in front of the map and examining it carefully.

   This time, on the surface, Jianning’s interests were to be divided, but in fact, the whole area of ​​Nanzhong was to be disrupted and redistributed.

  The development of Nanzhong in the Han Dynasty and marching into the southwest actually stemmed from a beautiful misunderstanding.

Back then, Zhang Qian shoveled through the Western Regions and came to Daxia, where he saw Shu cloth that was only found in Shu, and Qiongzhu and bamboo sticks that were only found in Qiong, so he asked the people of Daxia where these came from. ? The people of Daxia said: "From Shendu, which is thousands of miles away from Daxia, you can do business with merchants in Shu." 』

Because the Han Dynasty hadn't investigated the fog of war around, Zhang Qian thought that this was a new way to bypass the front of the Huns and break through the rear of the Huns, so he reported the matter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and suggested that he should start from the direction of "poisoning the body" Open up the road, and then you can bypass the Western Regions that were not fully controlled at that time, and raid the rear of the Huns...

  Of course, this strategy is ridiculous in the eyes of later generations, but the problem is that Emperor Wu of the Han did not have a world map in his hands, so Emperor Wu of the Han thought he could give it a try, and soon began to open up the southwest region.

   Later, a series of Southwest Wars occurred.

Surrender, rebellion, rebellion, and then rebellion again, rebellion again, the rebellion in the southwest direction is always small, and generally cannot directly affect the central court, but it has not been completely stable, so that the court has to move southwest from time to time The direction of blood transfusion again and again.

  『The barbarian...educated...』

   Zhuge Liang frowned and whispered softly.

  When he was in Chengdu, he followed Xu Shu, and he deeply realized that the governance of Sichuan and Sichuan is not easy.

  The most important point of contradiction is the barbarians, and the strategy formulated by Fei Qian and Xu Shu is to "use business to teach and educate people".

  Nanzhong area is an important transit point. This was true not only in the Han Dynasty, but even for a long period of time in later generations. A large number of Sichuan products, especially raw silk and Shu brocade, travel westward through Yongchang to Bhamo, Myitkyina and other places, to the snowy area, and then to Shendu Patna, and then exported to Europe via Daxia. The Ancient Tea Horse Road.

  In addition, it can also go from Yongchang to Jiaozhi, reach Nichinan, go directly to the Indian Ocean, and go as far as West Asia and Europe, becoming a part of the Maritime Silk Road.

  The role of this important transit node even lasted until World War II. Therefore, if you do business and become an official in Nanzhong, the rich are really rich. It is said that there is a saying that "one term as an official will make you rich for ten generations", which can be seen.

  But at the same time, poor people are really poor.

  The huge gap between the rich and the poor has led to various problems in the Southwest.

  Poverty and ignorance, good brothers who are always holding each other back. Just like the Nanzhong rebellion in history, in fact, those barbarians flocked here because they believed Yong Kai's nonsense at that time. Yong Kai asked people to fabricate a lie, saying that "the official wants to get three hundred black dogs, with black heads, three heads of mite brains, and three thousand pieces of wooden structures that are three feet long. Can you get them?" 』

Rumors say that the government wanted 300 black dogs from Nanzhong, even the hair on their chests must be black; The forest is dense, but most of the trees grow up to two feet high at most, and three feet would be considered a sacred tree. Where can I find three thousand trees? As a result, I made up such an unreliable joke, and successfully coaxed the barbarians to rebel. It can be seen that the attitude of the Han people among the barbarians was really not very good at that time. To be incited is to be too excited.

  Maybe some Yi people don’t believe these rumors, just for zero yuan purchase? Anyway, they are all so poor, so poor to death, why not give it a try?

  So, to be stable is to stabilize the "middle class". Of course Zhuge Liang didn't understand the term "middle class", but Zhuge Liang could understand it naturally when he replaced it with the words of another great god, "The people are the way. Those who have property have perseverance, those who have no property have no perseverance, and those who have no property have no perseverance." Perseverance, extravagance to ward off evil, do everything for yourself. 』

  『Zhuge is engaged, everyone is here...』 The soldiers under the hall came forward and reported.

Zhuge Liang looked back from the map, smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, and stepped out, bypassing the corridor, and then walked into the hall amidst the soldiers calling their names loudly, facing Everyone saluted and greeted in a hurry, and Tuantuan cupped their hands in return, and then stretched out a hand to signal for everyone to sit down.

  After a series of experiences, Zhuge Liang also lost some of his youthfulness and gradually matured. He smiled, his eyes were clear and pure like pearls, and everything in the world seemed to be reflected in his dark pupils.

"Since you are here, you must be the leaders of each family. With the approval, you can be the master of the family..." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and spoke in a leisurely manner, as if waving a **** in the field. Planting crops, or digging holes, it's hard to say, "If there is anyone among you who can't take care of it, you can go quickly, and someone who can take care of it will come..."

At first everyone looked at Zhuge Liang as young, and although on the surface they paid attention to Zhuge Liang's etiquette and thoughtfulness, they did not look down upon him a bit in their hearts. The so-called foolishness and inability to do things well, but when they suddenly heard what Zhuge Liang said, they suddenly became a little apprehensive. It's okay for those who can talk in the family, but those who look down on Zhuge Liang a little bit among those families naturally didn't send important personnel to come.

  『This...Zhuge is engaged in it,』 Meng Huo of the Meng family said with a smile, "I don't know what is important, can you reveal a little bit first, so we can tell the elders of the family..."

  Zhuge Liang slightly tilted his head, glanced at Meng Huo, "This is..."

  『My subordinate is the Meng family, the younger brother of the Pinglu Xiaowei family, and the governor under the tent. ’ said Meng Huo, clasping his hands. If in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Meng Huo was more famous than Meng Yan, but in the present, Meng Yan's status is greater than Meng Huo. Meng Yan was named a school captain because of the meritorious service accumulated in the Jianning incident last time, while Meng Huo Mao Didn't catch one, maybe one? Now I am doing odd jobs under Meng Yan, which sounds nicer and is called "supervisor under the account".

  Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled slightly: "So it was Brother Meng... However, Liang is a little strange. Could it be that in Liang's previous document, it was not indicated that this time is to discuss important matters in Nanzhong, and to determine the ten-year plan to gather?" Please correct me if there is anything unclear in Mo Feiliang's writing. 』

  Everyone exchanged glances.

Of course, it’s not that there was anything wrong with Zhuge Liang’s previous writing, but that the big clans in Nanzhong are used to being loose. If Xu Shu came in person, these people would of course pay attention to it. It’s just that Zhuge Liang came, and these Nanzhong surnames have no way to climb up in history. Looking at it from the shoulders of giants, it is natural to be slightly neglected.

Cuan Li was wearing a robe full of barbarians, with complicated patterns on the cuffs and neckline, together with the tattoos exposed on his face and hands, he created a slightly rough atmosphere, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" If there is any matter, just say it directly, if we can call the shots, we will call the shots, if we can't call the shots, we will find you someone who can call the shots! 』

  When everyone saw Cuan Li taking the lead, they responded one after another. All of a sudden, there was a lot of talk in the hall, and it was noisy and restless.

  Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, he just looked at it with a smile, his eyes were clear, as if he had seen some interesting scene, or he was watching a group of monkeys.

   After a while, everyone in the hall gradually fell silent.

   Zhuge Liang looked at these people with a calm expression, but he was thinking about Xu Shu's advice when he came from Chengdu.

  Xu Shu said that the population of Nanzhong is actually more than that of Chengdu. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoheng, a census was conducted. At that time, Nanzhong Yongchang was the second largest county in Han Dynasty...

   This really surprised Zhuge Liang, but after seeing the data Xu Shu presented, Zhuge Liang also remained silent for a long time.

  In the third year of Emperor Huan's Yongshou reign, Yongchang County was the second largest county in the country, with a population of 1.89 million, second only to Nanyang County's 2.43 million. However, Jianning, on the edge of Yongchang County, has a poor population of only 110,000.

  Although Yongchang County is larger than Jianning County, its population is not so much different. What is certain is that the figure of 110,000 is only the population of the Han people and does not include the local barbarians.

Of course, there are reasons to say that the population has been reduced due to the war, but in fact, whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion before, or Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, so that Fei sneaked into Sichuan later, the main battlefields were concentrated in the northern Sichuan area. , has little to do with South Africa. In the only battle of Jianning, several tribes of the Yong family and Gaoding were killed and injured, and the rest of the population could not be greatly reduced because of this.

  What Zhuge Liang didn’t know was that after Liu Bei entered Sichuan in history, the population of Sichuan and Shu was only a pitiful 940,000. Even when the Shu Han subjugated, the population reported by the powerful Yizhou was still only a pitiful 980,000...

Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei’s several Northern Expeditions in history, the annual taxes required for the war, the apportioned labor, and the tax increase were all apportioned to the "registered population" of less than one million, so in the late Shu Han Dynasty, I really don't want to fight anymore, I can't move anymore.

  The Yi people in the mountains and forests are almost free of tax.

   Servants who are dependent on the powerful are also exempt from paying taxes.

  Therefore, Zhuge Liang’s failure to solve this problem in history was a big mistake in his internal policy strategy. Of course, in that era, perhaps not only Zhuge Liang, but the whole world believed that such a tax policy was correct...

   Now, under the influence of Hussar General Fei Qian, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others began to feel that there were some problems with the original taxation strategy and population registration method of the Han Dynasty.

   If you are not a Han Chinese, if you become a Han Chinese, then there is a reason for letting them be free from generation to generation? It's been three or four hundred years since the big man, but these barbarians still can't love the big man. Whose fault is this?

Undoubtedly, in Sichuan and Shu, as well as in the areas around Sichuan and Shu, Han people occupy a minority, Yi people, Di people, Qiang people and other ethnic minorities occupy the majority. Conflicts between ethnic groups. A one-size-fits-all policy is a fine tradition in China. Rigid and inflexible executors will often ignite and detonate bigger mines after dealing with a small matter.

  Education is fundamental. It is to let these people actively be attracted by the Han culture of China, instead of fearing the Han culture and staying away from the Han civilization.

  The school in Chengdu is just the beginning.

  Zhuge Liang's eyes were piercing and his smile was kind, "Liang, under the order of the hussars, came here for the welfare of Nanzhong for a hundred years!" Nowadays, the people in Nanzhong are mostly trapped by insects, tigers and leopards, the mountains and forests are narrow, and the roads are not smooth! The living cannot grow up, the strong are trapped by the sick, and the old and weak cannot be supported! Huqi is kind, knows the suffering of the people in Nanzhong, and sleeps all night, tossing and turning, so he sent Liang to share the worries of the people in Nanzhong, and promote the strategy of subsidizing people's livelihood, which is the way to flourish local commerce and trade! 』

  Everyone listened at first, and there was nothing at first, but the more they listened, the more they stretched their necks and straightened their waists, like monkeys attracted by bananas or guava...
