While Pei Yuan and Yin Zhengqi were cooperating with each other to rectify military discipline, Feng Daoze found Mu Zhaoyi and Li Hao, the civil servant representatives of Meng Shu.
Li Hao originally served as Yin Zhengqi's staff officer, but after returning to Chengdu, Li Hao was mercilessly ridiculed by the whole Shu. As expected, the 'allusion' of the world cultivator's surrender was placed on Li Hao.
In addition, Yin Zhengqi was busy rectifying military discipline and had no time to pay attention to the mood of Li Hao and other civil servants. As a result, these civil servants in Shu who originally wanted to come out to serve the new dynasty finally withdrew.
Now Feng Dao, as the leader of the world's literary world, is naturally the best person to do these things. Among scribes, reputation is still very important.
Feng Dao first took the initiative to come to see Li Hao and his mother Zhaoyi, and made a full gesture. Then he held a banquet in Xuanhua Palace, the royal palace of Meng Shu, and invited celebrities from Shu to attend.
While drunk, Feng Dao took out Zhang Gao's imperial edict and announced that he would select ten scribes from Shuzhong. Participated in Pei Yuan's suggestion, led by Feng Dao and Sun Guangxian, to compile the national history of the Tang, Zhuliang, Later Tang, and Pseudo-Shijin dynasties, as well as the local chronicles of the three kingdoms of Nanping, Machu, and Meng Shu plus Hexi Longyou and Anbeiting. Waiting for something.
Of course, the most important thing is that this Wenhua event is also preparing to start a big discussion in Luoyang, the capital of China.
Discuss Confucianism, Law, Mohism and Taoism, as well as religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Manichaeism, Da Qin Dharma, and Dashi Dharma.
Feng Dao also announced at the banquet that the imperial court would build Jixia Academy in the Jinshan Palace of Beimang Mountain in Luoyang, following the example of Duke Huan of Qi, and invite talented people from all over the world to Jixia Academy to communicate and speak freely.
At the same time, speculative literary conferences will be held in Chengdu, Zizhou, Bazhou, Fuzhou and Kuizhou in central Sichuan.
A total of talented scholars from Shu were recommended to study in the Central Plains, and all their food and lodging expenses would be borne by the imperial court.
Compared with the Central Plains, in Shuzhong, because Meng Chang has been implementing the same policy of suppressing the power of Jiedushi like Zhang Shi, the status of literati in Shuzhong is actually equivalent to that of warriors, or even slightly higher.
It's just that Meng Chang's method of suppressing warriors is very different from Zhang Yan's.
Zhang Xuan was achieved by constantly changing the political structure, large-scale marriages with warriors, and granting titles, military ranks, and land.
But Meng Chang actually followed the path of Li Cunxu, directly replacing the Jiedushi envoys with his cronies and directly killing the Jiedushi envoys who refused to obey.
And most of them deceive people into the palace and kill them, which is quite a bit like Kang Mazi's godly friend.
This is actually the main reason why the Shu army's combat power collapsed in this time and space and decades later in history.
Lord Meng doesn't take the soldiers seriously, so why should the soldiers die for Lord Meng?
At that time, Zhang Yan laughed out loud after receiving the information about the situation in Shu from Yin Zhengqi and Ma Zhaoyuan in Chang'an.
He, Zhang Shengren, holds so many 'weapons' to suppress warriors, but he still operates them carefully. From time to time, he will also enhance the power of some warriors, playing a wave-like decline.
Meng Chang's Shu Kingdom was already weak in martial arts, and yet he dared to imitate his predecessor Li Cunxu, which was simply asking for his own death.
However, thanks to Meng Chang's magical operations, the Shu Kingdom, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had a population of four million, was defeated within ninety days.
During the banquet, the higher-status Meng Shu scribes were immediately ecstatic when they heard the news that Zhang Yan was going to imitate Duke Huan of Qi in building Jixia Academy.
They were afraid that Zhang Zhou would not pay attention to culture and education, and they would be in trouble. Now that the saints in Luoyang also wanted to promote culture and education, they were completely relieved.
At the end of the banquet, Feng Dao raised his wine glass and invited the scribes in Shu to drink, "When a certain family left Chang'an, the sage once said that he was willing to prosper the great dynasty with the talents of Shu.
Feng also wanted to tell you that since the decline of the great dynasty, especially since the former Shu king established a separate regime, although Shuzhong and the Central Plains have become two countries.
But you should know that separatism has been unjust since ancient times, and the integrity of Jin Ou is the right path that we, the scholars, pursue.
I only hope that you will put aside your prejudices and foolish loyalty to the separatist masters, make suggestions and suggestions for the unification of the world, and serve the Holy Zhou Dynasty. "
After all, scribes are more accepting of the idea of great unification than simple warriors, because this is what Confucianism pursues.
After hearing what Feng Dao said, most of the scribes in Shu who were still somewhat estranged from the Zhou Kingdom were able to quickly let go of their prejudices.
There were voices of praise and determination in the field, all saying that they had long been interested in the imperial court and were willing to make suggestions for the imperial court.
There were also some shameless people who recommended themselves on the spot and asked Mr. Feng for support.
Pei Yuan sneered when he heard it from behind. The Jinyi guards on the side arrested the school captain Huang Yang'er Huang Fei and handed a stack of lists to Pei Yuan.
Here are the first batch of selected people, including a list of wealthy families near Chengdu who had encouraged the Shu army to surrender, or even roped in the Zhou army to cause trouble.
The wealth in Shu is mainly due to the territory occupied by the high-ranking officials and powerful families in Shu, in addition to the royal family of the Meng family, the honorable ministers of Shu, and their relatives.
According to the order given to Pei Yuan by Zhang Yan when he set out, at least one-third of these people must be purged, otherwise Shuzhong will never be stable.
Those who are wise will only clean their property. Those who are not wise will lose their lives.
After a rough look at the list, and there were no major problems, Pei Yuan asked Huang Fei to continue investigating, while he met with Sichuan veterans Zhao Tingyin, Shi Kai and others to comfort him.
Regarding Zhao Tingyin, Shi Kai and others' wish to return to their hometowns in Daibei and Hedong to visit relatives, they expressed that they would definitely write to the emperor. The fate of the troops who surrendered to Shu also informed Zhang Gao's decision.
In the third year of Zhang Zhou and Shaoming, on June 11, 948 AD, after the imperial envoys Pei Yuan and Feng Dao arrived in Shu, the situation in Shu finally stabilized.
After careful consideration, Zhang Yan added the administrative unit of Dao to the current four-level system of provinces, capitals, prefectures and counties.
Mainly for the complex situation in Shu.
Shu is vast, and if Yin Zhengqi is left to guard it alone, he will not be able to control it.
If the middle of Shu is split into two provinces, it will be even more detrimental to the stability and governance of the people in Shu. Therefore, adding a road will make it easier to divide and govern.
Zhang Xian decided to leave Yin Zhengqi to guard the middle of Shu, and canceled the establishment of the Shuxingying Yamen and the Shuxingying Yamen, and established Jiannan Sichuan Province instead.
Taking Yin Zhengqi as the false ax, he was the military governor of all prefectures and counties in Jiannan Sichuan, the Pingzhang of Jiannan Sichuan Province, and the defense envoy of Jiannan Sichuan Province.
The false ax represents the power of life and death that Yin Yaozi has over ordinary civil and military officials.
The commander-in-chief of Jiannan Sichuan's military prefectures and counties represented the pro-army and forbidden troops who entered these prefectures and counties, and Yin Yaozi could mobilize them.
The position of defense envoy of Jiannan Sichuan Province also gave Yin Yaozi the command of the province's garrison army and civilian volunteers and Long March athletes.
It can be described as monopolizing power.
In addition, Zhang Zhang also specially appointed Shen Wenbing, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to Shu as the chief envoy of Jiannan Sichuan Province to assist Yin Zhengqi in handling Sichuan government affairs.
At the same time, four roads were established under the Sichuan Province of Jiannan.
Among them, Jiannan Xichuan Road consists of Qiongzhou (Qionglai) Meizhou (Meishan) Yazhou (Ya'an) Mianzhou (Mianyang) Zizhou (Santai), and the Appeasement Department is based in Yazhou.
Jiannan Dongchuan Road consists of Langzhou (Langzhong), Rongzhou (Yibin), Rongzhou (Rongxian), Guozhou (Nanchong), Luzhou, etc., and is based in Rongzhou.
Hanzhong Road, in addition to the original Hanzhong, also included Lizhou (Guangyuan) and other places, with Xingyuan Mansion as the headquarters of the Appeasement Department.
The remaining places, including the entire later city of Chongqing and the two cities of Bazhong and Dazhou in Sichuan, formed the Ningjiang Road, and the pacification department was stationed in Kuizhou, where the former Meng Shu Ningjiang Army Jiedushi was stationed.
This will not only allow the pacification envoys of the Si Dao pacification department to share the administrative pressure of Yin Zhengqi, so that the new dynasty's orders can reach the grassroots more deeply, but also suppress the four parties.
After dividing the roads, Zhang Gao changed Yazhou to Ya'an Prefecture, and appointed Cui Huxin, who was born in Liangzhou, as the pacifier of Jiannan Xichuan Road, the Yin of Ya'an Prefecture, and the military supervisor of Ya'an Prefecture.
He was ordered to use the resources of most of the Chengdu Plain to appease the surrounding barbarians and indigenous people, preside over the work of the Six Methods Sect entering western and northern Sichuan, and warn the old Tibetan nobles and various road masters on the plateau about their counterattack against the Six Methods Sect.
Restore the old name of Nanxi in Rongzhou (Yibin) and call it Nanxi Prefecture.
Guo Rong was appointed as the pacifier of Dongchuan Road in Jiannan, Yin of Nanxi Prefecture, and military supervisor of Nanxi Prefecture. He also ordered Guo Rong to continue to expand the scale of the salt mine in Rongzhou, north of Nanxi Prefecture.
In fact, in Gongjing County, Rongzhou at this time, there were large salt wells such as Fu Shijing and Dagong Well left over from the Han Dynasty, but Zhang Yan knew that there were still many that had not been developed.
Because this place is located in Yibin in later generations. After the Yuan Dynasty, the salt industry in Yibin could supply the four provinces of Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Guizhou, and it also developed a salt dish in Sichuan cuisine, which is by no means the scale it is now.
Zhang Yan believed that as long as Guo Rong developed the salt mine in Zigong, the place would prosper immediately.
At the same time, salt, a strategic resource, can be used to deter and control Dali to a certain extent in the south. You must know that Dali at this time is very short of salt.
Moreover, Zhang Yan was also planning to throw Pei Yuan's eldest son Pei Quanli, his two sons Zhang Xiancun and Zhang Xianyu, and the little black bear Zhang Liechao into Nanxi Mansion.
Let them exercise well. I, Zhang Shengren, will not wave my jade ax. Western Sichuan, Northern Sichuan and Yunnan are no longer wanted.
At the same time, the pacification department of Ningjiang Road was stationed in the remote Kuizhou, precisely in response to Guo Wei's request.
At present, Guo Queer has basically settled the dissatisfied forces in all parts of Hunan Province and is ready to start operating the land in western Hunan.
Zhang Yan established Ningjiang Road in Kuizhou specifically to use the resources of this large area to operate the areas of northern Guizhou and western Hunan to the south.
Moreover, Zhang Gao also assigned Guo Wei a good helper. He appointed Zhe De as the pacifier of Ningjiang Road, the prefect of Kuizhou, and the military supervisor of Kuizhou Prefecture.
But there is a problem here, that is, Zhe Deyi was originally a Pingzhang in Shuofang Province, but when he arrived in Jiannan and Sichuan, he was just a pacifier.
It certainly doesn't make sense that a person who already had military exploits would be demoted even if he was not promoted.
Therefore, Zhang Gao could only adopt the method of high-ranking and low-ranking, adding Zhe Deku as his servant, and at the same time, he placed the imperial army that Zhe Deku brought with him in Yong'an Town.
He also promised that after the various ethnic groups in northern Guizhou and western Hunan were pacified, suitable candidates would be selected from the Zhe family to serve as comfort envoys in northern Guizhou, which were actually chieftains.
As for Hanzhong Road, Zhang Yan simply let Er Zhujing, who had made great achievements, stay in his post.
He also changed Xingyuan Prefecture to Hanzhong Prefecture, and ordered Er Zhujing to be the pacifier of Hanzhong Road, the Yin of Hanzhong Prefecture, and the military supervisor of Hanzhong Prefecture.
Let Hanzhong Road encompass Jianzhou, where Jianmen Pass is located, and Lizhou, where Yang'an Pass is located, in order to avoid military chaos or separatism from happening again in Shu.
As long as Jianmenguan and Hanzhong are under the control of the imperial court, no matter how much chaos occurs in Shuzhong, it will be useless.
. . . . .
Although it was already June, the cold wind in northwest Sichuan was still howling and sweeping around, blowing the snow slag from the mountains into the valley, mixing it with the wet dust on the ground, and rolling it everywhere.
As soon as Pei Yuang opened his mouth, the cold earthy smell immediately poured into his mouth, causing Saint Zhang's confidant to cough heart-breakingly.
"My lord, Songzhou City is not far away. Dozens of powerful chiefs and leaders from Qingtang, Xiqiang, Heiyi, and Baiyi from the three prefectures of Songzhou, Wei, and Fu are already waiting for you in the city. Come."
The person who spoke was Zhe Buzhi, the eldest son of Zhebu Jiashi, the governor of Tianshui Prefecture and the military supervisor. Since the Tubo clan from Song, Wei and Fu Prefectures wanted to take refuge, Zhebuzhi had stood up to the Liangzhou Monk of the Six Fazong of Hexi. He took the traditional title of monk and official and began to contact the leaders of the three states.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the melodious sound of horns in the mountains.
Not long after, Lin Wei Jingqi, who was escorting Pei Yuan on the right, had just set up a defensive formation when he saw a large force suddenly appearing in the valley in the distance with various colored flags.
It turned out that dozens of leaders and chiefs from the three states came out of Songzhou City to greet them.
The welcoming team was very large, at least hundreds of people.
As soon as they approached, Pei Yuan looked at Li Cunhui and asked him to take off his guard.
Because all the troops who came were wearing Tubo-style wide robes with long sleeves, and many of them were even covered with strips of brocade. Even the guards did not wear armor, but were wrapped with one or two colorful silk and satin cloths. strip.
Of course, he didn't have any other thoughts, and he was indeed here to greet him.
Li Cunhui waved his hand, and the drummer of Lin Wei on the right immediately blew the welcoming horn, and then played the sound of drum music symbolizing the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty.
Upon hearing the horn, the elite cavalry from all capitals put on the red, purple, gold, and silver-white ceremonial robes and cloaks, and held the swords, guns, axes and axes used for the ceremonial guard. They looked very majestic.
The two sides first informed each other by messengers, and after confirming their identities, dozens of powerful chiefs and leaders, escorted by their nephews or personal followers, came to the court angel.
Pei Yuan gently pinched the horse's belly and was the first to step out of the queue, followed by Zhang Gao and Zhang Cheng.
Both of them have round shields hidden on their bodies. If something goes wrong, they can immediately escort Pei Yuan back.
At the same time, the thirty Xianshandu sharpshooters behind him all have divine arm bows in their hands, ready to take the lead at any time.
However, there was no surprise at all. Dozens of Tubo, Xiqiang, Black Yi, and Bai Yi chiefs came one after another with the help of translators from several Han merchants who lived in Songzhou and other three states.
However, they were just paying tribute, not paying respects.
Pei Yuan felt a little regretful about this, so he narrowed his slender eyes slightly, and gestured to Li Cunhui with his hand behind his back.
Li Cunhui understood immediately and immediately ordered the flag soldiers around him to wave the red triangular flag three times. This was the signal for the pear blossom gun to be fired.
'boom! boom! boom! 'Dozens of thunderous noises, accompanied by golden flames, scared the heads of all the powerful chiefs and leaders in front of Pei Yuan out of their wits on this cold windy morning.
They are not timid people, but they have never seen a gunpowder gun, eh! Or something called fireworks.
Coupled with the spread of the Six Methods Sect, many people actually believe that a divine Buddha did appear in Han Dynasty, so they have no doubt that this is the superb magic of that divine Buddha in Han Dynasty.
For a time, hundreds of people fell to the ground one after another, and some devout people even kowtowed, sang and recited the scriptures of the Six Dharma Sect.
】
Pei Yuan felt so happy that if the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he would have wanted to laugh three times.
At the same time, Pei Yuan felt sorry for Feng Dao. Feng Dao had a splitting headache and red cheeks before he arrived in Songzhou. He fell ill immediately and had to return to Yazhou.
Even during the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo and Xiqiang people in Songzhou and other places had never been as submissive as they are now.
As a Confucian scribe who has a strong desire to expand territory, it is indeed a pity that he cannot come and enjoy it.
With a bit of regret and a sense of accomplishment, Pei Yuan took the lead and walked forward among the prosperous chiefs and leaders of the three states. Behind him, there were a large number of eminent monks wearing the robes of the Six Methods Sect.
Amidst the sound of Buddha's trumpets, several Han translators shouted excitedly at the top of their lungs.
"The Great Tubo Songzhou Luo Zhi led the powerful chiefs of various tribes to welcome the court angel, Liu Dharma Zong Rinpoche, to Songzhou City!"
