Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 575 The guide of the direction

Some people say that the talented and generous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was aggressive and disregarded everything for the sake of fighting. He reigned for fifty-four years and fought for forty-four years. The people were in dire straits, and the economy almost collapsed. He even talked about some things about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. For example, the marriage at the beginning, and going to the golden house to hide the beauty, the scourge of voodoo, etc., but it is undeniable that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor to tidy up the minorities.

Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ethnic minorities enjoyed various preferential policies. Both nostrils could be turned upside down, and the government did not dare to move them for fear of causing trouble. Naturally, the soldiers had no confidence. Therefore, ethnic minorities looked down on those who only knew how to bury their heads in farming in the south. Farmer, so no matter when talking or eating, he likes to expose the knife that is tucked in his arms or pinned to his belt. He has a prairie accent that is full of mouth. , you can post any beautiful girl you like, and grab it with a shameless face...

It was under such circumstances that the Han Dynasty suddenly turned its face, and for the first time swept away from the Western Regions to the East China Sea, from the Northern Desert to the Southern Border, and since then established the suzerainty status of the Central Dynasty, not only in the Western Regions, but also in Liaodong Dongyi, which is the future of Korea, and Jiaozhou, which is the future of Vietnam, have established a clear dominant position.

Those ethnic minorities who were rampant before suddenly realized that it is terrible for the Han people who originally only knew how to cultivate the land to turn their faces, and they also hold grudges very much. The Northern Huns have already decayed. , even surrender...

   As the first Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to eat the crab of a minority, he is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

  An even more admirable move is the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

  The countries in the Western Regions are small, but there are many countries. From Chang'an to the Western Regions, due to geographical restrictions, the only passage is the Hexi Corridor, which is a narrow strip between the Mongolian Plateau and the Qilian Mountains.

   It is precisely because of this inconvenience that the Protector of the Western Regions is ad hoc. Duhu, in terms of job title, focuses more on military affairs than civil affairs, and it is the same in fact. Wusun and Kang live in various foreign countries, and you can hear the changes in movement and stillness. You can compile it safely and compile it; you can strike it and strike it.”

  Obviously, to put it simply, Duhu has garrison fields, soldiers, and jurisdiction over the countries in the Western Regions. If you can BB, you will be obedient, and if you are disobedient, then you can do it...

  So from this point of view, the existence of the Protectorate of the Western Regions is a declaration of the Han's jurisdiction over the land of the Western Regions. Although it has not completely annexed the countries of the Western Regions, it is basically the same in fact.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, from prosperity to decline, and even later dynasties, has become an important symbol to measure the strength of the Central Plains country. If the country is in trouble, it is easy to go wrong, but once the Central Plains regime Freeing up his hand, Xi Yu immediately gave up.

  However, the Protectorate of the Western Regions also has its disadvantages, that is, if it manages too much, it is easy to be tampered with by malicious people; In addition, the personnel dispatched to the Protectorate of the Western Regions may not all be as awesome as Zhang Qian and Ban Chao, so...

However, because Emperor Guangwu established his capital and focused on issues, his rule over the Western Regions was actually relatively weak. After Ban Chao, the Protectorate of the Western Regions followed the decline of the power of the Han Dynasty and the outbreak of the Western Qiang issue. .

   "This is the best of times, and it's also the worst of times..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Everything has just ended, and everything has just begun..."

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions, the predecessors gave us a good method, we will naturally use it, such as farming, garrison, canonization, these are all good, and naturally must be preserved..." Fei Qian was thinking, while Continue to say to Xu Shu, "...In addition, many previous problems need to be improved, such as trade money is touching, and..."

  Although Fei Qian didn't finish his sentence, Xu Shu knew it, so he nodded and said, "The strategy of protons is mostly in name only now, and if it is... it won't be very effective..."

   Fei Qian agrees.

  At the earliest time, when the prefect of the county of two thousand shi in the Han Dynasty was appointed, he needed to leave his family members in Kyoto, but then he gradually relaxed, and many times he did not implement it.

  If you don’t have this ambition, even if you don’t have protons, it’s not a big problem, but if you already have ambitions, let alone protons, even Lao Tzu can’t stop their crazy steps.

  Like Liu Bang...

  It’s like Er Yuan…

Therefore, the tenure system may be a relatively moderate method of reconciliation, but the emergence of this system must have a sufficiently stable administrative structure system, otherwise, once the leader is replaced, it is easy to cause a major purge of the human faction, and for the sake of his own political achievements, the predecessor's actions will be replaced. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, veto it all, and then adopt policies and measures that are contrary to the predecessor.

  Fei Qian looked into the distance and said: "This is a huge project, but once the model is fixed, it can almost be said to last forever, leaving a name in history..."

  Xu Shu was silent. Although he didn't speak, his eyes inevitably shone with brilliance. As a person of the Han Dynasty, he was more eager than Fei Qian to become a hero praised by thousands of people like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao.

  Especially Xu Shu who had some experience as a knight-errant before, the attraction to him is simply incomparable...

  Furthermore, Fei Qian's words are not an exaggeration at all.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions was established in the Han Dynasty, which became the basis for later generations, regardless of whether it was a strong suzerain state such as Tang and Ming, and it also became a continuation of a model for the subsequent dynasty to rule overseas. Basically, it only made some amendments in details. The general framework has not changed much.

  The Western Regions and the Beimo Plateau are actually very similar in terms of terrain and transportation. If they can be established successfully, what about going out?

  Jiaonan Duhu?

   Liaodong Governor?

Even…

  A brand new political system operation mode, if it can adapt and survive, it will be able to maintain its vitality for a certain period of time, and even have a far-reaching impact...

If a dynasty is regarded as a super enterprise, then the Western Regions and Beimo Plateau are the branch companies, but considering the problems of information transmission and traffic speed between the Han Dynasty and later generations, the differences and corresponding adjustments are just Fei Qian’s idea. Relying on talented people like Xu Shu, I slowly figured it out.

  Fei Qian turned his head to the side, looked at Xu Shu who was already in deep thought, smiled, and stopped talking.

  Anyway, there is still some time now, and now I just start thinking ahead of time, so as to save myself from being in a hurry when it needs to be carried out. Fei Qian has always believed that only when he has a plan in hand can he not panic. He can't be said to be proficient in these things in later generations, so how could it be possible for people in the Han Dynasty to understand and accept them in a short time, and then implement them in an instant?

  Especially in the era when knowledge is not fully popularized, from being able to understand, to knowing how to do, and then to doing well, it is not just a few words, and then everyone can understand and follow the implementation...

Before he knew it, even Fei Qian himself was not far behind. He has now broken away from the thinking mode of an ordinary gentry, and has begun to look like a patriarch of a family, standing on a high point, looking at the future, and seeking for the future from the layers of fog. pointing, pointing the way...

   After Xu Shu was tricked by Cao Cao...

   Cao Cao sternly said: "Why are you so cold and disinterested when you see me, but talking and laughing with your Mr. Liu? Why...why..."

   Speaking of this, Cao Cao's voice trembled, and he was very excited, but his face was still numb, and his muscles did not move a little.

Xu Shu said slowly: "Prime Minister Cao, I don't know. You are better than me, Liu Shijun, in every way, not only better than him, but also better than me. I am with you. I am ashamed and not worthy of you, so I can't do it for you. Come up with a plan, make a plan."
