It was very similar to Wang Anshi's later idea. The Qingli War brought more thoughts to Zheng Lang. Without a strong wealth accumulation, the country would not have enough economic development to launch a major battle and conquer the Western Xia. Just the Western Xia, if the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were recovered, the economy would be more needed.

History has learned from the perspective of Han and Chu. The most powerful person was Xiao He. His management in the rear allowed Liu Bang to be defeated in all battles on the front line, and the Han regime would not collapse. In the end, Han Xin's power was powered by Han Xin, but after several years of battle, Chu's vitality was wiped out. This is the truth that cannot be seen.

When the Three Kingdoms confronted each other, they were all working hard to manage their respective rears.

Unless the Tang Dynasty was thunderous and unifying the world, but there were so many elite soldiers and generals in that dynasty? Maybe Di Qing could be tortured to death in that era.

The surrounding environment of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to an enlarged version of the Three Kingdoms. Khitan, Western Xia and Song, as for Dali, Tubo, Jiaozhi, Goryeo, Uighurs, they were considered second-rate countries, as well as Chameng, etc., which could be ignored. The confrontation between the Three Kingdoms was the mainstream of this era. It was impossible to destroy the other party one by one in military affairs. Therefore, the main thing was to compete for one's strengths and economy.

Zheng Lang has an advantage over Wang Anshi in this regard.

Have golden fingers.

The time is longer. In fact, since he went to Taipingzhou, he has been changing bit by bit. If nothing unexpected happens, his political life will be close to seventy years old and fifty years of operation. However, Wang Anshi only has more than ten years. The same work can be completed by one person in five years, and a person in one person in one year. Can the former be compared with the latter?

Going south is an important move, and the top priority is not Guangdong and Guangxi, but Jinghu Road!

Guangdong and Guangxi are good, but they are too far from the capital. Unlike Jinghu Road, there are Xiang River, the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, and even grain can be transported to the capital.

How important is Jinghu Road? Only Hunan.

Now Jinghu South Road is not Hunan. The northern and western regions of Hunan belong to Jinghu North Road, and there is also a ban Meishan Mountain in the middle that is embarrassing. However, many areas of Hubei belong to Jinghu West Road, and Hunan development only revolves around Dongting Lake and belong to Jinghu North Road. It has nothing to do with Jinghu South Road, and it has about 200,000 hectares of arable land.

In history, the brutality of Yuan Meng is unaware of the data. By the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was a controversial figure and the most representative emperor. He hated corrupt officials, attached importance to agriculture, restored the development of arable land in Dongting Lake, and once again brought the arable land area in Hunan to more than 300,000 hectares in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The change is because of a woman, Huang Daopo.

The benefits of cotton are far better than rice fields, which means that it is difficult to manage, but for the densely populated Taihu Basin, there is no labor problem. So the original Suhu Lake is ripe, and Changhu Lake is ripe (Changshu Huzhou), and the grain output of the Taihu Lake Basin, which is sufficient in the world, has declined. The Ming Dynasty had to turn its attention to Hunan and Guangdong. The previous proverb became ripe, and the world is sufficient in the world. Two lakes and Guangdong. Some people say that the arable land area in Hunan once reached more than one million hectares. This statement is probably too exaggerated, but Jiangnan transferred grain supply to the capital, Jiangxi, the two lakes and Guangdong provinces reached 85%, and Taihu Lake and Jiangdongwei accounted for only 15%. Therefore, the latter in Changsha took the lead and became the first of the four rice markets.

However, the Ming Dynasty's control ability was too weak, the tax system was backward and unreasonable, and the real people were rich and poor. There was no grain storage and no money to transport it in time. The small ice river led to a severe drought in the northwest, and the major landlords were selfish, so the peasant uprising and the country was gone. The landlords themselves became slaves to the destruction of the country.

Hunan was abandoned again. Although the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to it, Hunan's grain production once again occupied an important position, but it did not return to its heyday in the late Ming Dynasty for a long time.

If you want to develop Hunan, Jinghu South Road is the main development zone. Because of the force of Meishan Manchus, the entire Jinghu South Road is backward in agriculture.

But unlike the barbarians of Guangdong and Guangxi, in the eighth year of Kaibao, the Meishan barbarians once attacked Shaozhou and Tanzhou. At that time, the Song Dynasty had not ruled the world and was unable to separate. After Emperor Taizong of Song pacified the Southern Tang Dynasty, he sent troops to Meishan and killed thousands of people, which aroused the anger of the Meishan barbarians. As soon as the Song army retreated, the left-arm leader of the Meishan barbarians helped Hanyang to lead the barbarians, and invaded again. Emperor Taizong of Song ordered Zhai Shousu to dispatch Tanzhou troops to suppress and kill 20,000 people. The Meishan barbarians finally realized the power of the Song army, so the Song army came and fled to the deep mountains and old forests. As soon as the Song army left, they came out of the mountain to harass him.

In a rage, Zhao Kuangyi classified Meishan as a forbidden area, and the people outside the mountain were not allowed to have any contact with the people inside the mountain, whether it was commerce, agriculture, or otherwise.

It has been closed for more than half a century, and it has become more backward and barbaric.

A few years ago, Zhao Zhen changed his strategy and sent Liu Yuanyu, the governor of Tanzhou, to enter Meishan, communicated with the barbarians, promoted the imperial edicts of the court, and pacified and won over. A magistrate of a great prefecture went deep into danger and tried his best to win over only four hundred people in the cave.

According to some ministers, the Meishan barbarians have no control.

Looking at the barbarians in Guangdong and Guangxi, it seems to be more headache, but in fact it is not. Jiaozhi ignores it, mainly destroys it, and does not want to operate it and destroy it, and withdraws it. The chaos is the Jiaozhi people themselves. The two areas in Taimodao and the western part of Yongzhou have thickness and depth, which can be used as a buffer zone with Dali, and they can operate it if they are not convinced and let it go, and have little impact on the core area. Then there are all Wuling areas, all of which are born barbarians, but the thickness is thin and after the road is open, they can see changes. Under the guidance of the barbarians, they will change their original living habits. There are also many barbarians in other areas, all lacking thickness. Most areas are also barbarians, but most of them are familiar barbarians. In a sense, they are not very different from the Han households. As long as the policies are appropriate and they do not discriminate against them, Guangdong and Guangxi can develop smoothly.

But what about Meishan Man.

The Meishan Dongman is located thousands of miles away, connecting to Tanzhou in the east, Shaozhou in the south, Chen in the west, Ding in the north, including Lizhou, Tanzhou and Dingzhou in the north, including Lizhou in the north, and half of the Chenzhou in the area, covering an area of ​​50,000 square kilometers. It must have a length, thickness and thickness, and the terrain with high mountains and lush forests, and rugged roads. For more than half a century of closure, it is backward and barbaric. To be honest, it is as difficult as conquering Jiaozhi in the Meishan Barbarians. It is not as difficult as conquering Jiaozhi, but conquering, which is in line with the difficulty of conquering Jiaozhi!

Zheng Lang discussed with Zhang Kang and Zhang Ke, and even went to Jingnan Prefecture (Jiangling Prefecture) to ask Li Suzhi about the situation of Meishan Barbarians.

In fact, before Zheng Lang arrived in Lingnan, Li Suzhi was already operating Jinghu South Road, including opening several wide avenues with Jiangnan West Road, allowing Wuling Shengman to naturalize. Li Suzhi implemented some policy of pursuing Meishan Man and dispatched some experienced farmers to the west of Xiangshui River. He taught the local barbarians to farm and changed the original method of slash-and-burn farming.

In the past three years, Li Suzhi has laid a solid foundation for Zheng Lang.

However, Li Suzhi still has no good idea for the Meishan Man.

The method was thought of by Zhang Ji. Zheng Lang's original plan was to pacify first and then govern, and not to pacify Meishan barbarians, and the people did not dare to migrate to the Xiang River Basin.

Zhang Ji takes into account both peace and discipline.

He was a Han man who grew up in the prefectures and was not opposed to the barbarians and the foreigners. He stayed on Jinghu South Road for a long time, so he had this idea.

He did not agree with forced expeditions and suppression, because the area was too large. He had few troops in his hands. If he wanted to use tough means to make Meishanman completely surrender, Zhang Ji estimated that there would be at least 150,000 troops to barely achieve it. It was not worth it that the court would agree.

He believed that when dealing with Meishan barbarians, one must take the attacking heart as one's subordinates and the attacking city as one's subordinates.

Continue to use Zheng Lang's strategy in Lingnan to launch a thunderous attack on a few stubborn elements, which shocked the other tribes. Most tribes were still mainly influenced and attracted, and could no longer implement closed strategies and policies like before.

It is difficult to influence it, and the thickness is so deep. He came up with a solution. It is stupid, but it may work very well.

Cut the Meishan Man.

Use road cutting, first build three longitudinal roads and three longitudinal roads, so that Meishanman can cut into sixteen irregular areas, each small area is only a few thousand square kilometers, but it is not enough. One more ten roads will be built in each small area. There are twenty-five crossovers, build forts and villages, and station 200 to 500 soldiers. In the future, it can also be regarded as future trading locations.

Because of these forts, the thickness will not exceed fifty miles and the width will not exceed thirty or forty miles. The soldiers can quickly reach the place where something happened, and even each fortress can cooperate with at least four other places, and can reach six or seven fortresses. It can form more than one thousand soldiers in two days, which is enough to deal with any large barbarian division. If a large barbarian division causes trouble, it can close the fort and defend itself, and wait for more troops to arrive continuously. However, the total force is less than ten thousand soldiers, and if the governance is properly done in the future, local barbarian troops can be replaced to decompose the pressure of the imperial court.

The process of building roads and camps is a flat process. While building roads and camps, the terrain gradually becomes thinner due to road cutting. The Song army went deeper and could communicate with these barbarians and appease them. Otherwise, the Meishan barbarians would not be able to communicate. If they were not convinced, they would use cutting into small areas to reduce the difficulty of suppression.

In addition, based on the original Li Suzhi's governance, the local people further built some small water conservancy projects, mainly placed in the west of the Xiang River, so that these people can watch and continue Zheng Lang's methods in Guangdong and Guangxi. Of course, the number of labor and military forces is very demanding, but there is no rush. Start with four large areas and sixteen small areas only adjacent to the west of Tanzhou. The other twelve large areas are more difficult and can be placed next year. Let Tanzhou first form a strong guarantee area, and next year it can be moved and developed. There are labor and some militias, and even the local barbarians see the benefits and cooperate with the Song army to extend to the depths of Meishan barbarians.

In this way, there is probably a battle, but the scale of the battle will not be too large and the financial pressure will not be great.

The only disadvantage is that it takes a little longer.

Zhang Ke's strategy was adopted by Zheng Lang. In history, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, this strategy was often used to capture Meishan Man. He turned the mind into Han, comforted and gathered it, opened up the original closed situation, and then used the army to shock it. He finally solved the Meishan Man problem. There were still some troubles, but it was not much trouble. Therefore, Zhang Dun happily wrote "Song of the Meishan Mountain" and "Brother Out of Meishan" (see the work related).

Zhang Ke only provides one policy, and there are many more specific things.

After some discussion, Zheng Lang inspected various places in Jinghu South Road. Different water conservancy areas in different regions, Jinghu South Road is different from Guangdong and Guangxi, and is also different from Jiangdong Wei. One is dam fields, similar to dams, but the people of the two lakes do not call it dams, but call it dams. The second is dam fields, because there are many hilly areas and developed water systems, and more river valley basin terrain is formed, which lays the foundation for the construction of dams that can be planted one by one. The third is dam fields, an inevitable product of mountainous terrain. The fourth is pond fields.

This pond is not the Qiantang River, and the ponds are all very large in scale. Most of the ponds on Jinghu South Road are similar to real ponds. The difference from the weir is that the weir is more expensive and has better results. It can be irrigated and drained, but the pond is not good. It is just used for water storage and irrigation, and lacks a drainage system. Because the water system of Jinghu South Road is developed, hilly terrain accounts for the main body. It mostly forms fragmented farming areas. This terrain is too expensive to build weirs, and it can achieve obvious results. The larger ones can irrigate thousands of acres. The smaller ones can irrigate dozens of acres, and even a few acres are all. The cost is not high. It is best to dig a pond and have ditches connected. No, it can be stored by water and rainwater on rainy days. The cost is very low. When the pond is dug out, it becomes arable land around it. These ponds can also raise some fish and shrimps to subsidize the people's lives.

Tangtian will become the mainstream arable land type in the mountainous area of ​​Jinghu South Road.

As well as some dams and terraces, of course, tumble trucks and keel trucks are indispensable.

In short, the cost is not as high as that of Guangdong and Guangxi, and it can be very fragmented.

At the same time, people were sent to the mountain to negotiate with the various divisions of Meishan Manchus. There were masters and secondary ones. The master was the four major regions and divisions that were about to arrive. There were no immigration and did not ask the court for financial support. They just allocated a large amount of gunpowder and some weapons to intercept the fiscal and taxation of Jinghu South Road. Thanks to Li Suzhi, after Li Suzhi's governance, the fiscal revenue of Jinghu South Road increased a lot, which allowed Zheng Lang to have nearly three million yuan in expenditures. It may not be enough, and when it is not enough, I will ask the court for it. Whether it is enough depends on the size of the war.

As autumn arrived, Zheng Lang brought 30,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 civilians to the edge of Meishan Barbarians, and began to build roads in four areas to the east from the southern part of Dingzhou to the western part of Tanzhou, and central part of Shaozhou.

The quarantine has been too long. No matter how Zheng Lang expresses it, a series of battles have occurred one after another.

At this time, all kinds of bad news from Zhao Niannu came out.

Zheng Lang was furious.

In fact, he also understood the truth, and he himself said that as an emperor, he had the greatest power in the world and as the lord of the world. He could not say that ministers lived happily, and he had to live a happy life. He had to set an example and work hard and simple. But the indescribable friendship between him and Zhao Zhen made him lose his composure.

But the important thing is important. The court spent a lot of money on Guangdong and Guangxi, not only nearly 70 million yuan in development costs, but also a large amount of military pension and rewards wasted by Pingmeng Zhigao. It also spent a lot of money on Liangjing Road. So many roads came out, and all the money was made.

Li Suzhi carried out some small-scale developments, and they also made money.

More than 10 million yuan spent in the past and after, but if you spend more this year, it will be nearly 20 million yuan. It is not a small number. It is as important as a Liuta River, how much can the court spend?

Hold your anger down and continue doing serious things.

He was very rational and did not bring his anger to government affairs. He continued to warmly receive the barbarian leaders of various ministries, talked with them, and advised them. It was forgot that you had a grudge with the court in the past. Now the court gave you a chance, why continue to resist to the end? See what life are you living now?

He even invited some larger tribes and some appealing tribe leaders to Lingnan and let them go to Lingnan to watch. Did I tell any lies? Even if some tribes provoked, Zheng Lang repeatedly persuaded him. Even if the speed of road construction was delayed, he would still be caressed again and again. If it was really impossible, he took force measures. He also told these tribe leaders that he was not afraid of you. No matter how powerful you are, there were still Jiaozhi. There were only 20,000 regular soldiers used by Guangdong and Guangxi, and if the big Jiaozhi defeated the court. Now there are more soldiers on the south road of Jinghu than the regular imperial guards in Guangdong and Guangxi. Can the court be afraid of you small tribes? Even if the entire Meishan Man joins hands, I can defeat you calmly.

They are all the people of the Song Dynasty, so why should we meet each other?

But if he was dissatisfied, he would forcefully fight and beat him hard. This was also the way Zhang Dun did in history. He went to Jinghu South Road and did not believe in evil. If the Song Dynasty was a big one, he could not deal with the Khitan, but he could not create a country, China.

So the troops were divided into three groups and attacked decisively. Many ministers were worried that it was easy to attack Meishan Man, and they had tried it before, but they were a piece of super candy. When the army came, they were defeated, retreated, gave up, and avoided. They rushed into the deep mountains one by one, and then the army retreated and came out again, and they could retaliate wildly. Why did Zhang Dun succeed in the end? At least basically the word "success". It was precisely because one hit and two strokes, hitting was hard hit, and caressing was heartfelt, turning barbarians into Han, treating them sincerely, respecting and not exclusion, focusing on governance, and supplementing them. They used various strategies to resolve the situation to win the hearts of ordinary barbarians. Some ambitious leaders were forced to flee to the south and had no place to take root, so they had to flee south.

The troubles of Meishan barbarians were resolved.

There are many ways and the roads are one. Zhang Ji, Zheng Lang and Zhang Dun's methods are similar, but their situations are different and the specific details are different.

Bang bang, repeated persuasions failed. Zhong Yan and Zhang Ji each led two armies, transformed from migrant workers into soldiers, and suddenly attacked. All the two tribes were destroyed, which could not be considered as extermination of the clan. Instead, they destroyed their leader's family, distributed all the property and land in the clan equally, and asked them to choose an elder to manage it themselves.

Hearing this news, some tribes finally stopped to resist, and the two ends of the head rat came out of the mountain to see Zheng Lang for negotiations, and continued to drill into the depths of Meishan rebelliously.

October is coming, and most of the good news is coming.

At least the end of the first month next year, the first barrier will be built.

But Zheng Lang was worried about Zhongzhong, Zhao Niannu and Liang Huaiji were still missing. The sky was cold soon, and there might be a layer of thick frost in the north. Where did these two people escape? Could it be that they really destroy the corpse?

But there was another thing joining in the fun.

Xiaxi, Chenzhou, has changed.
