Although the three events of moving south to surrender the governor's palace, establishing two additional counties, and recruiting southerners to join the court surprised everyone, what was announced next shocked everyone even more.
Under the signal from Zhuge Liang's eyes, Yang Yi took out a scroll and unfolded it: "Everyone, my country has experienced several major defeats before, and has lost many divisions and brigades, and its military strength is weak. The Prime Minister observes that the tribes in Nanzhong are brave and good at fighting, which is really rare. He died, so we decided to move more than 10,000 elite households of the Qingqiang tribe to settle in the middle of Shu, where they would train sergeants and strengthen the military strength of our Han Dynasty."
At this point Yang Yi paused, turned to look at Yang Qing and said: "This matter must be controlled by Lord Yang."
Most of the Qingqiang tribes are in Yuexun County, so Zhuge Liang has already been angry with Yang Qing about this matter, and he was not surprised when he heard it.
Moreover, he was the one who proposed this matter. The main force of the northward migration was the Guli tribe, which had surrendered to the imperial court early. Therefore, it was fitting that this matter fell on him, the governor of Yuexi.
"Prime Minister, don't worry, it's your duty to do so." Yang Qing nodded to Yang Yi, then stood up and bowed his hand to Zhuge Liang.
Others also knew that this was good governance after hearing this. All the tribes in the south have a fierce spirit. They endure hardships and are hardworking and are not afraid of death. Although their combat power is weak due to the lack of equipment and armor, once the imperial court arms them, they will definitely be able to defeat them. Create a strong army.
Moreover, relocating the Qingqiang's elite soldiers can strengthen the court's military strength and weaken the power of the barbarians in the south. This strategy of the prime minister can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Everyone then praised Zhuge Liang and expressed their support for this move.
"It's just that the Qingqiang tribe didn't participate much in this rebellion, and they were quite loyal and respectful to the imperial court. If we want to weaken the power of these rebellious barbarians, wouldn't it be better to relocate the tribes that rebelled, such as the Sou people?" Zhao Yun thought to himself, He did not express praise like others, but thought of some shortcomings of this strategy.
Although Zhao Yun was a military commander, he often had profound insights into political affairs. In the past, when the late emperor defeated Liu Zhang and entered Chengdu, many people advocated giving the houses in Chengdu and the mulberry fields outside the city to the generals.
But Zhao Yun retorted: "Huo Qubing once said that the Xiongnu were not destroyed and were useless. Now the Xiongnu are not the only traitors in the country, and it is not yet time to settle down. We must wait until the world is calmed down before sending everyone back to Sangzi. This is the way The most appropriate decision.
The people of Yizhou have just suffered from the disaster of war. Now they should return their fields and houses to them, first let them live and work in peace and contentment, and then let them submit to military service deployment, so as to win the hearts and minds of the people of Yizhou. "The late emperor also felt that it made sense, so he adopted Zhao Yun's suggestion.
Later, Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou. The late emperor was furious and decided to conquer Sun Wu. He also advised: "The national traitor is Cao Cao, not Sun Quan. After Cao Wei is destroyed, Soochow will naturally surrender. Although Cao Cao has died, his son Cao Pi usurped Stealing the throne, everyone in the world is angry about it.
Now we should take advantage of the people's anger to first attack Guanzhong and occupy the upper reaches of the Yellow River and Weishui River to attack the rebels. In this way, the righteous soldiers of Guandong will pack food and ride their horses to meet the king's army. Cao Wei should not be left alone, but should attack Soochow first. Moreover, once the war with Soochow begins, it will not be easy to stop, so attacking Wu is not the best strategy. "
But at that time, the late emperor insisted on marching eastward and did not listen to Zhao Yun's dissuasion. Later, Yiling was defeated. I wonder if the late emperor regretted that he should have listened to his advice.
Although what Zhao Yun said in these two incidents is not completely correct, we can get a glimpse of his extraordinary insights into government affairs. _o_m
Zhao Yun had doubts in his heart and was about to speak out, but Zhuge Liang's next words dispelled his worries.
Zhuge Liang coughed slightly, and everyone immediately fell silent. He smiled and said: "Since everyone thinks this strategy is very good, I am relieved. Of course, the relocation of barbarian soldiers is not only among the Qingqiang tribe, but also the court will follow. Other tribes select brave and capable warriors to join the imperial army."
Most of the Qingqiang tribes were relatively submissive to the imperial court, and they were close to the center of Shu. Therefore, Zhuge Liang decided to first select soldiers from them to set an example, and then slowly transfer brave and capable warriors from other tribes.
"The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister, and everything he has thought and considered is thorough and complete. It seems that someone is too worried." Zhao Yun felt relieved when he saw that Zhuge Liang had a backup plan.
"What do Zilong think of this method?" Zhuge Liang suddenly asked Zhao Yun. It turned out that just now his doubts were dispelled, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, allowing Zhuge Liang to see it.
Zhao Yun cupped his hands and replied: "Move elites from various ministries in Nanzhong to strengthen me. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 195 Relocation
Of course Yun agreed with the strength of the Han army. It's just that the Prime Minister doesn't know where to move these barbarian soldiers to settle down? "
Zhuge Liang said: "Originally I wanted to move them to Shu County, but Mingzhi persuaded me to move them to Hanzhong. I haven't finalized the location yet. Just when Zilong asked, you guys also said whether it is better to move them to Shu County or Hanzhong." Is it appropriate to move to Hanzhong?"
"I would like to hear Mingzhi's reasons for choosing Hanzhong first." Zhao Yun looked at Yang Qing across from him with a leisurely smile and said. Everyone was also curious and looked at Yang Qing.
Yang Qing felt helpless for a moment. When Zhuge Liang mentioned this matter to him yesterday, he just mentioned it casually. As for how determined he was in choosing Hanzhong, he didn't actually say it.
Of course Hanzhong is the most suitable place for him, but he has no objection to moving to Shu County. Such a large move of tens of thousands of people across counties is naturally a matter of Zhuge Liang's concern. He is responsible for mobilizing the Qingqiang tribes in Yuexun County. That’s it.
As for the proposal to move to Hanzhong, he could just talk to Zhuge Liang and a few others. At this time, Zhuge Liang said it in public, which posed a problem for him.
We must know that according to Zhuge Liang's plan, the food, accommodation and other daily necessities of tens of thousands of people during their migration were the responsibility of the governments along the way. Therefore, the shorter the journey, the fewer counties and counties will bear the expenses along the way.
Yang Qing's suggestion to move to Hanzhong has also increased the pressure on many counties and counties. If word of mouth spreads out about the large number of people here, I'm afraid he will offend a lot of people. Although he is not afraid of offending others, he is willing to suffer less resentment.
But everyone was waiting for a reply, but he had no choice but to reply: "There is no other way. It's just because Hanzhong is vast and sparsely populated. The imperial court will naturally grant them fields when the tribes move north. However, Hanzhong is sparsely populated and there are many ownerless lands. Therefore, There will be fewer disputes over the land grant. Besides, if Hanzhong gets these tens of thousands of people, it will be of great benefit to restoring the prosperity of Hanzhong."
Before and after the Hanzhong War, most of the original 100,000 households in Hanzhong were moved away by Cao Wei. Now, only the cities in Hanzhong are still barely populated, while the countryside outside the cities is extremely depressed.
So Yang Qing thought that since he wanted to relocate, he might as well move to Hanzhong to increase his household registration there. With the talent, he would have the power to farm and produce crops. Update without error@
Of course, there was another reason that he did not say. The purpose of moving these Qiang soldiers was to prepare for the future Northern Expedition. Hanzhong would be the bridgehead for the future Northern Expedition. Moving them here would also be conducive to the subsequent Northern Expedition.
Now that the Northern Expedition has not been officially announced by Zhuge Liang, he will naturally not make this reason clear in public.
"Of course, moving to Hanzhong will be farther than Shu County, and the cost will naturally increase. Therefore, both places have their own pros and cons, and the final decision must be made by the prime minister. It is just a simple and foolish opinion." Yang Qing kicked the ball back to Zhuge Liang.
"Slippery!" Zhuge Liang glanced at Yang Qing and laughed and cursed in his heart.
"What do you think of what Mingzhi said?"
Li Hui said: "Prime Minister, judging from the respective advantages and disadvantages of Shu County and Hanzhong, Hui Hui agrees with Mingzhi's proposal. If it can restore some vitality to Hanzhong, there is no harm in spending more money."
Li Hui was a high official in the border area. As soon as he agreed with Yang Qing, his weight became heavier.
In fact, there were mostly military people in the house, and they really didn't have many opinions on civil affairs. Seeing that Li Hui and Yang Qing, two officials with far-reaching political reputations, were willing to choose Hanzhong, they also tended to Hanzhong.
Seeing that most people agreed with Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang made up his mind and said with a smile: "Then we will move all the tribes to Hanzhong. Wei Gong and Yuan Jian will remember this and modify the original migration strategy."
"Yes." Yang Yi and Liao Hua responded in unison. .
