Chapter 174
Xu Ping leaned on the bamboo chair, looking at the sunset in the distance, with a relaxed and relaxed expression. The officials who attended the banquet were already blushing, and they were very happy to be willing to advise me. It was reasonable for officials to drink wine at the gathering. Without wine to cheer up, everyone couldn't let go, and they sat upright and were sanitary. Such a gathering was boring.
Xu Ping himself is not good at drinking, and he will not use the intention of drinking to say things he doesn't say or do things he doesn't do. For him, wine is an occasional pastime and occasionally used to cheer him up. In this case, he does not persuade others to drink, and others will not force him to drink after toasting. Xu Ping's image has a long history, and now he is in a high position and has no one to feel uncomfortable. Anyway, Tan Hu, Sang Yi, Gao Daquan and others have been following him for many years. They will accompany others to drink, and Xu Ping just sits on the side.
The Protectorate was established, the Central Military System of the DPRK began to reform, and everything that Xu Ping expected began to go on track. For the rest of his days, he only had to take his troops to win battles. He was carrying the burden on his back. The most difficult thing was the beginning of the steps, and he would not be so tired when he got on the right track. Xu Ping has finally put down the burden in his heart and felt the relaxation in his heart.
Birds of birds of a feather flock together. Most of the officials gathered around Xu Ping are familiar with officials and can manage practical things well. Those who only have a clever mouth and are useless in their work have avoided Xu Ping far away. Now Xu Ping is no longer the little magistrate when he arrived in Yongzhou, nor is he a newbie who has no foundation when he first returned to the court. He has a high position and a high title, holding heavy power, and leaving a bad impression on him, maybe ending his political life. Xu Ping is now higher than some magistrates in the court.
The bright moon rose, and Liu Huan, who was inspecting the foreign troops in Longxi, rushed over and drank a few glasses of wine with everyone. He couldn't get into the officials who were already drinking, so he sat next to Xu Ping and talked about some gossip.
After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Huan said, "I went to Longxi County. My second son, Xiao Silu, came there to visit me, and seemed very unsatisfied."
Xu Ping asked with a smile: "Why is he not proud? There are no powerful foreign troops west of Miaochuan now. He should be the time to be proud. No one is against him. Shouldn't it be the time to recruit people to expand their territory?"
Liu Huan shook his head: "The Protector is right, not right. Now there are no powerful foreign tribes west of Miaochuan, but they are all defeated by us. What does it have to do with him? All the small foreign tribes are willing to submit to the court now. Who would deal with the son of the sages who have no territory or manpower? The sages himself have no reason now. What makes the sages most troublesome is that he relies on the Kangu Fan tribes. After the court occupied Lanzhou and Huizhou, the Kangu tribes began to move back from the sages, and many people even entered the camp and field affairs. Seeing other foreign tribes decline, not only would they not get any benefits, but he himself was also getting worse day by day."
Xu Ping just smiled and looked at the moon in the sky. After a while, he said: "Last year, we defeated the Yuzang tribe. Now the biggest forces in the two states of Lanhui are the Kangu tribes. But since the Hexi Liugu tribes were broken up by Hao thieves using tricks, the Kangu tribes were also divided into pieces and could not be merged. What's more, the Kangu tribes with the largest number of people were originally the Kangu tribes. We are in Lanhui, and the two states of Hui have all registered households and people, changing customs. These Kangu tribes can become Han people, who will get together with the Kangu tribes?
Becoming a tribe of the late dynasty is a last resort. If you can return to the court, you will not become a foreigner again. Yuzhong is originally the main unit of Kangu, but Huizhou is mainly Zulichuan, and Zulichuan is also called Kangu River. You can imagine what kind of territory it was originally. After we occupied it, we moved all the Qiang and Fan tribes who drove away the Kangu people back then. Of course, the Kuangu people in Kangu would have to come back. Compared with the court, Yusila was a down-and-out Buddhist son, so how could his son be supported by the Kuangu people!"
Liu Huan nodded, and did not speak anymore, calmed down for a moment. He knew Xu Ping's thoughts. After arriving in Qinzhou, Xu Ping changed his previous practices and no longer pacified the foreign tribes, but instead merged the tents into villages, organized households and the people, changed customs and changed the customs to Han. This was of course more difficult than just letting the foreign tribes verbally surrender, but once it succeeded, it would be safe for hundreds of years of peace in this area.
The policy implementation did cause a lot of chaos in the early stages of policy implementation, but with the two big victories, the integration of the forces of Qinzhou counties and the increase in military strength, this policy has become more and more smooth. Now there are no large foreign troops east of the Yellow River, and Xu Ping did not advance the policy of enrolling households and civilians from Longxi County to the west, just to concentrate his efforts to deal with Dangxiang.
Once the Dangxiang is pacified, the Song army will soon cross the Yellow River and go west to take the Hehuang land. This trend can be seen even by Yusilu, let alone a rootless and blind felt. However, it is useless to see that. The main force that Yusilu relies on, the Liugu tribe of Hexi who moved from Liangzhou has begun to contact Qinzhou. If necessary, it is possible to leave Yusilu and directly surrender to the court. When the title of official position was given to Yusilu, they were named Siduo together. The Song army was in Hehuang, and the attractiveness of the court was far greater than that of Yusilu. The current situation in Hehuang is as good as that of Yusilu.
Previously, Yuan Hao used a trick to break the Hexi Six Valley Alliance. The Fan Qiang tribes in the Six Valleys in the West surrendered to Ye Sila, allowing him to persevere under the pressure of Miaochuan and Zongge and defeat Yuan Hao's attack. The Yushu tribes in the Six Valleys in the East moved south to Didao, saved the blind feathers, and disrupted the original structure. The old Dafan tribes had been destroyed by the Yushu tribes that moved south. Xu Ping destroyed the Yushu tribes, the largest enemy of the Yushu tribes. These Yushu people quickly surrendered to the Qinzhou General's Mansion, but Xu Ping no longer allowed them to exist in the form of tribes and became various villages.
Liu Huan was a entourage recruiting the foreign troops in Longyou. He was used to recruiting the foreign troops and pacifying the various foreign troops, but the current situation made him unable to recruit the foreign troops at all. There was a lot of conflict. Whether it was real or fake, or close to Qinzhou, the two foreign troops learned to tie their hair and go to the right lapel, and began to learn Chinese and Chinese customs, waiting for Xu Ping to go to the county and county, and all registered households and people. The counties near Qinzhou were obviously richer than other places. The huge amount of money and grain invested by the Qinzhou General Administration in this area was enough for the local residents to become rich. What's more, Xu Ping also used various means to develop local agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce, build roads and bridges, and helped them sell local products to the Central Plains. Now in the Qinzhou area, registering households and people means living a good life, and the foreign troops mean poverty, lack of food and clothing, and how the local people choose very clearly.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Huan sighed: "Maybe the word "recruitment in my professional title should be gone, and it is straightforward to make it simple and clear."
Xu Ping said: "If you are interested, it's okay. I'll just give a memorial to the court. In fact, why bother to invite you? The court originally established your official position, and originally wanted to use the power of the various foreign troops to restrain the Hao thieves and serve as the barriers of the court, so he brought the word "answer". However, when fighting with the Hao thieves, we have always relied on the forces of our dynasty and never used the power of the thieves. If we don't ask for them, why should we invite you? Under the rule of the court, the Han laws are not followed by the land of the thieves.
When you go to register households, everything will be up to them. If you let them, of course, don’t want to get benefits from the court. This is natural! You don’t want to be under the jurisdiction of the court, and you also want to get benefits from the court. Why! Now in Longyou, the five armies have been established, with sufficient money and food, and there is no need to ask for peace and stability, whether someone wants to cause trouble, or suppress or pacify the Protectorate, and there is no need to ask for any Fanhu Qiang chief, why bother to recruit you!"
Liu Huan shook his head, thought about it and suddenly laughed. He had soldiers and food in his hand, but he was indeed different. Now Xu Ping has five armies and a hundred thousand people. If Yuan Hao had not taken the head-on battle with the advantage of Tiandu Mountains and territories, he would not even take Dangxiang seriously. The rest of the little Fanluo is even more worth mentioning. Now only Fanluo comes to ask for the Protectorate, and the Protectorate has no desire for them at all.
