Chapter 395(1/2)
"That's not a ban, it's exile!"
Xiao Yu was so angry that his beard was trembling. When he was the prince of Xiliang, he was also named king, but the Western Liang court did not enfeoff anyone to places like Qianzhong where barbarians were everywhere.
In that kind of place, slash and fire farming, even tribal revenge, and bloody revenge are popular. In short, it is a very barbaric and backward place. If you are enfeoffed to such places, let alone the governor, it would be meaningless to be granted a king.
The emperor couldn't help but shake his head.
I heard it very well at first, but I didn’t expect it to be enthroned on the territory of the barbarians. This is too insincere. That is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty at all. How could people accept you as their governor and governor?
To seal the imperial court, it is necessary for the court to show sincerity. If the seal is passed, and even if it can't stand, then what is the seal?
But since Qin Lang has spoken out, he is unwilling to shut up.
He felt that what he said was not wrong, and even from a historical perspective, this was a path he had already seen.
Think about the Bozhou chieftain Rebellion during the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. The Bozhou chieftain Yang Yinglong was not a barbarian. His ancestors passed by the Tang Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the ancestors of the Yang family were originally from Taiyuan, and later ordered to conquer the Nanzhao Kingdom in the south. After the war, they were enthroned by the court to guard the Bozhou area.
This guard has been for seven hundred years.
Bozhou is located in Guizhou Province in later generations. It was a remote and wild place during the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, due to the rise of the Nanzhao Kingdom at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao repeatedly fought with each other, and the Bozhou area became a barren land.
From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, until the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family was nailed to the remote land of Bozhou, guarding for generations. No matter how the Central Plains changed, the Yang family had been guarding Bozhou. As soon as the Northern Song Dynasty was founded, it was not peaceful at that time. For the distant Yang family in Bozhou, they simply issued an edict to enthrone them as the governors of the Bozhou Army and continue to let the Yang family guard.
Since then, the Song Dynasty has always recognized the Yang family's rule over Bozhou.
When the Yuan Dynasty invaded the Central Plains, Kublai Khan also appointed Yang Bangxian, the contemporary head of the Yang family, as the Bozhou appeasement envoy.
When the time came to the Ming Dynasty and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also adopted a policy of appeasement and detention against the local chiefs in the southwest, and conferred the Yang family as the Xuanweisi of Bozhou and continued to hand over the military command to the Yang family.
In the past seven hundred years from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Bozhou was run by the Yang family as a separatist kingdom.
Until the Wanli period, Yang Yinglong rebelled in Bozhou, and the imperial court launched a large army to conquer and finally destroyed the Yang family.
Although the Yang family eventually went to war with the Central Plains, from a historical perspective, the Yang family made contributions to the Chineseization of the Bozhou area.
Historically, the Yang family in Bozhou was actually the same as the Ning and Feng families in Lingnan. They were all from the Han people from the north and had many dynasties. Because they were in remote areas and had no time to take care of the Central Plains, they kept recruiting them to govern themselves.
And these people did not dare to have any ambitions towards the Central Plains. They have always been honest in becoming their own local emperors. The Central Plains court also maintained its rule over these banished places in fame.
This is actually very important.
It is precisely this step by step that the Han people in the Central Plains can gradually develop to the south of the Yangtze River, Lingnan, and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Step by step, these places are also included in the territory of the Central Plains dynasty.
Li Shimin wanted to be a founding of the governor in the Central Plains, but Qin Lang opposed it. History proved that this was actually a division. But if it was a seal on the border, it was actually a big deal.
Essentially, it is like Feng Ang, Ning Changzhen, Yang family, and the Mu family in the Ming Dynasty, which are also like this.
It has a great effect on stabilizing the border, and it can even expand the border and assimilate the local barbarians.
This kind of feudalization is better than just giving these places to the barbarians. If the barbarians are a little stronger, they may rebel, harass, or even be stronger, they may have to establish a country or something.
This is true for Nong Zhigao in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty, and the independent Jiaoguo in the Song Dynasty.
In contrast, the Han powerful Han chiefs were more centripetal to the Central Plains.
"Your Majesty, you can grant more power to the royal family and the heroes on the frontier. The first is to defend the border and guard the border, and the second is to protect the vassal court. Therefore, you can give more power appropriately. For example, if you are granted a marquis in the fiefdom, you can give him the right to establish a fiefdom of the township and the land unit, so that he can have the corresponding force."
"And it is allowed to collect one-third of the power of the fiefdom tax in the fiefdom every year, and one-third of the remaining will be paid to the local prefectures and counties, and one-third will be paid to the state treasury."
"According to the title of vassals and fiefs, a certain number of titles will be assigned to the fiefdom. Yongyetian will be given to the vassals."
"Granted to vassals in their fiefdoms, recommended, and enlisted powers to entrust their subordinates."
Regarding the number of troops in this country, Qin Lang suggested that the number of troops was divided according to the actual number of troops. If the number of troops was actually enfeoffed, the number of troops was more than a thousand households. If the number of troops was actually enfeoffed, the number of troops was 3,000. If the number of troops was actually enfeoffed, the number of troops was 500 to 1,000 was the number of troops was second, and the number of troops was 2,000. If the number of troops was actually enfeoffed, the number of troops was less than a thousand. If the number of troops was actually enfeoffed, the number of troops was less than a thousand. If the number of troops was actually enfeoffed, the number of troops was 500, the number of troops was small, with one army, and a thousand people.
If the meritorious officials actually enthroned the number of people with less than 500 households, they will enthrone Xiazhou, and if there are 500 to 100 households, they will enthrone Zhongzhou, and if there are more than 1,000 households, they will enthrone Shangzhou.
Although Qin Lang said that he gave the vassals the power to command the rural troops and the land united groups in the territory, and did not directly say that he gave other military power, this was still military power.
The township army united groups mean that they are not permanent troops, they can only be recruited if they have something to do, but they can be recruited after all.
In addition, each vassal can also have its own guards and family troops such as the inner court and the Martial Office. The number of this unit is based on the ninth-class title of the prince, duke, marquis, corps, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, ranks, and rank
Military power.
This is what can truly gain a foothold on the frontier.
With this, it is possible to be a local emperor in the border area for hundreds or even thousands of years, just like the Feng family and Ning family.
Compared with the power of the governor who was named as Li Shimin before, Qin Lang's plan is undoubtedly a bit off, but it is actually a real one.
There is military power, tax power, and civil governance rights.
The only disadvantage is that the place is a bit off. Many places may not have any Han people at all. After the past, they may be mostly barbarians.
But think about it, when the Feng family went south, they just passed by like this, and eventually survived.
Who can be granted a title is not a top hero, and who has no background?
After that, I built a castle and built a foothold, brought my own slave division, and then found a way to recruit some poor people in the Central Plains. Are you still afraid that I can't develop it?
Wei Zheng couldn't help but applaud.
"Your Majesty, I think this strategy of the Qin scholar is very wonderful and can be regarded as a good strategy for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty. Please accept it."
However, except for Wei Zheng applauding, few people were willing to agree.
The main reason is that this method of sealing off is that they all think it is an exile method.
No one wants to leave the prosperous land of the Central Plains, especially the center of political power, and run to the frontier to be a savage king.
Even if Qin Lang proposed to give his vassals a larger place, more power, or even military power, they were not interested.
What's the best thing to be a Savage King?
Li Shimin was also moved.
But when the ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Xiao Yu did not agree, they couldn't help but hesitate.
Just like Feng Ang, he was also the Northern Yan Royal Family, but what did he get after running to Lingnan for 200 years? He was really assimilated into a Southern Barbarian. What about the Feng family who stayed in the north to surrender Wei?
Now it has become the Feng family of Jingzhao.
The same ancestors will be completely different in just two hundred years.
One is still a clan in the Central Plains, and the other is already called a barbarian in the Central Plains.
Not to mention, compared with the five surnames and seven sects of the Central Plains, in the eyes of Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others, although they usually don’t like the five surnames and seven families, and even often have to step on them secretly, in fact, who doesn’t envy them, and who doesn’t want their family to become the five surnames and seven families?
Who would like to eventually become the Feng family and Ning family in Lingnan?
No one wants to.
Only in the Central Plains can one become a famous family, aristocratic family, and the mainstream.
If you go to the frontier, you will only become a barbarian, and maybe one day you will be captured and eaten by the barbarians.
Li Shimin hesitated for a while and finally sighed.
But when his eyes finally swept over Qin Lang's face, he found a stubborn light in his son-in-law's eyes.
"Qin Lang, you proposed this plan to enfeoff. Then I ask you, if I follow this plan to enfeoff you to southern Xinjiang, would you be willing?"
"Of course I do!"
Qin Lang agreed without hesitation, why didn't hesitate? Although the dynasty of flowing water is a strong family, the aristocratic family may not be much better than the chieftains on the frontiers.
"really?"
"Take it seriously!" Qin Lang said decisively.
Li Shimin was a little surprised and a little relieved. This is the minister who plans the country.
"Very good, get the map."
Li Shimin asked someone to get a huge sheepskin map with the map of the Tang Dynasty.
"I give you a privilege and allow you to choose your own fiefdom. You are here to refer to a place in the southern border of the Tang Dynasty. I will grant you this!"
"Sheirized!"
Qin Lang didn't expect that the emperor was not so impatient and threw the map in front of him.
Looking at this somewhat uneven map, it is still very different from the map of later generations in my mind, but basically the general direction is still correct.
East China Sea and South China Sea.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Annan Jiaozhi!
Qin Lang's eyes flashed one by one, but hesitated for a moment.
Which one should I choose?
The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is undoubtedly the lowest cost-effective. Nowadays, the transportation is extremely unchanged, and the barbarians are quite powerful. Although they had a brief rule in the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had given up for many years.
In comparison, the southeast area is better, but it is not easy to interfere in Guangdong and Guangxi. Feng's Xian family, Ning family, Chen family, Yang family, etc. have been in business for hundreds of years. They have also spent a lot of money to drive Li Liaoren to the mountains. Qin Lang wants to go over to grab the territory, which is not very convenient now.
I don’t want to go to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangdong, and Guangxi are not easy to interfere.
It seems that Annan is easier to start.
"Your Majesty, what about this place?"
