In late September, as the emperor signed the three words "system and can" after Huo Guang and the ministers of the Chinese Dynasty asked the Shangshu of the Western Regions to protect the palace, the subject country located in Gaojie became very busy.The establishment of a new county-level administrative district is by no means simple, and it is necessary to determine its level, the personnel under its jurisdiction, and which central unit it will be connected with.After all, it was Su Wu and Ren Hong who initiated this matter, and the subject country was familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions, so it became their task to outline everything in this institution.This is also where Ren Hong is puzzled, when Shang Shutai's final decision was sent back for the worst confirmation, he couldn't help but talk to Su Wu about his doubts."
Duke Su, I proposed that the Western Regions Protector be set at 2,000 stones, which is at the same level as the county guard, but the Chinese Dynasty rejected my suggestion and set the capital protection at 2,000 stones, which is the same level as the captain of the Wuhuan Protector and the captain of the subject country, so why is it not my subordinate country that is responsible for managing the affairs of the Western Regions Protectorate, but the lieutenant of the Northern Army?"
This makes Ren Hong feel that he has worked hard for a long time, but he is making a wedding dress for others."
After all, Daoyuan has just entered the officialdom, and he still can't see through the many concerns here."
Su Wu smiled and asked Ren Hong to sit down, and slowly told him the reason for this."
The Western Regions are separated from the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, the road is far away, there are many inconveniences in comings and goings, and the military situation in the Western Regions is complicated, the political situation is changing rapidly, and if you are not careful, the countries will have a repetition.Therefore, the imperial court suggested from us that the Western Regions Protectorate should be set up to govern the north and south, and the military and political power should be delegated to the Metropolitan Protector, and even have the right to mobilize the manpower, money and food of the Western Regions to resist the Xiongnu and crusade against the unsubordinate. ”"That's powerful enough, isn't it?"
Ren Hong bowed his head, but Su Wu pressed his hand down: "It is precisely because he holds great power and is far away from Jingzhao that it is good that the Western Regions are all dedicated to the country, if he has a different heart, follow the example of the Qin general Zhao Tuo, and support the army to stand on his own, what should he do?"
”"What Su Gong said is very true."
Ren Hong agrees with this very much, splitting the country is such a death, and it is absolutely impossible to do it.Now that he came back to his senses, he responded: "It is precisely because the power of the Western Regions is so powerful that he deliberately suppressed Zhilu, only for two thousand stones, and the deputy lieutenant for two thousand stones, so that they can supervise each other." ”"And the Western Regions Protectorate is directly under the jurisdiction of the Northern Army, with one Cheng and two Sima, Hou, and Qianren, all of whom are not allowed to be removed by the Duhu privately, but appointed by the lieutenant of the Northern Army.While obeying the orders of the capital, they must also report to the Northern Army on a daily basis, which is a strategy to prevent micro problems?
”Su Wu bowed: "The children can be taught, in addition, the daily jurisdiction of the soldiers and recruits in the Western Regions, as well as the reserve of armor and equipment, are managed by the Dunhuang Taishou Mansion In this way, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protection and the Northern Army and the Dunhuang Taishou are not subordinate to each other, but they check and balance each other.Once there is a difference in the Western Regions, Dunhuang can cut off the Jade Gate and Yangguan, and immediately report to the imperial court, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”It is no wonder that from the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty to the present, there are only rebellious princes and kings, but there are no rebellious counties.But that's okay, Ren Hong can guess who the first Western Regions Protector is, since the imperial court has a plan to supervise each other with the capital protector and the deputy captain, then he shouldn't be kicked back to eat sand, and he can plan for the future in Jingzhao first.Although the Western Regions Protectorate is not directly affiliated with the subject state in military and political terms, when the states under its jurisdiction come to pay tribute, they still have to be received by the subject state."
Relying on the prestige of destroying the turtles and retreating from the right virtuous king, the two countries of the Western Regions sent envoys to express their submission to the Han Dynasty, adding up to more than thirty.The Huns still have in their hands, and there are only a few Che Shi, Wei Xu, and Yan Qi. ”Su Wu handed over this matter to him, and Ren Hong summed up the details with Zuo Cao Zhao Zhonggen and Xiao Yanzhong, who were in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions: "After the official establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate next year, the imperial court will make more than 30 seals and ribbons according to the old practice of Shanshan Kingdom and give them to the kings and marquis."
After the prince personally came to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, the seals of his subordinates, city chiefs, generals, and ministers should also be issued by the Han Dynasty. ”He said with a smile: "From next year, the Barbarian Mansion will be overcrowded, and the subject country will also be very busy, and Duke Su will no longer have to worry about the power of the subject country being too little, and being cut or even swallowed up by Da Honglu." ”And in this way, the "since ancient times" of the Western Regions will also be determined.However, the Western Regions are all protected, only in charge of the Western Regions in the narrow sense, the southern frontier of later generations, the north is limited to the Tianshan Mountains, and the west is limited to the Green Mountains.It also controls the area north of the Tianshan Mountains in the hands of the Xiongnu, and after taking it down in the future, it can be a separate "Beiting Protectorate".Ren Hong's thoughts have been flying for many years, well, after killing the Xiongnu and letting the results of the Han-Hun Hundred Years War be divided, you can build an Anbei Protectorate in Mobei.In a few decades, maybe there will be a river capital to protect the house, the Yue's capital to protect the house, the body poison capital to protect the house, and even the Persian capital to protect the house!
Thinking of this, Ren Hong had another idea: "In the past, the Western Regions were extraterritorial, but in the future, they will become the land under the rule of the Han Dynasty and handed over to the cities and kingdoms of Weiyang Palace.Zhong, you immediately take your subordinates and draw a map of the Western Regions before winter, and mark the distance of the roads, the main mountains and rivers in the territory, and the neighboring countries. ”Zhong suddenly made a bitter face: "Ren Jun, I have seen a lot of county maps, but no one has ever drawn them in the Western Regions!"
”Ren Hong said with a straight face: "Lu Jiuyu has traveled all over the North and South Roads of the Western Regions, let him assist you, and when the map is drawn, I will make the final revisions." ”Just kidding, Ren Hong traveled to Xinjiang many times in his previous life, and he was still confident in drawing a tourist map with a small error.He turned around, glared at the gloating Zhang Kuang and Lu Jia, and said, "Don't laugh at you, do you really think that you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Western Regions, and you can be idle?"
The tribal maps of the Southwest Yi, Dongyi, and Xiqiang states that they contacted each other were drawn out and handed over before the winter. ”Before winter, it's not ten days away!
At this time, the officials of the subject country jumped up and went busy."
What are you going to do?"
Su Wu walked over, worthy of being an energetic young man, the new "right-hand man" he found really couldn't be idle for a day.Ren Hong said with a smile: "I heard that in the past, the Marquis of Bowang was there, Dawan, Dayue, Daxia, Kangju, and it is rumored that there are five or six big countries next to it, and the first emperor said that its terrain is owned, but unfortunately there is no map to circulate, so far the messenger of the Western Regions can only rely on the guide word to find the way, which is very inconvenient. ”"And the same is true of Southwest Yi, Zhuqiang, and Dongyi, and the land discovered by envoys such as Bowanghou and Tang Meng, if they cannot be implemented on the map, I am afraid that future generations will soon forget it.""
So I want to summarize it and make a big map that encompasses all the known lands of the Han family!"
Ren Hong bowed to Su Wu for a long time: "Su Gong has been in the Xiongnu for many years, and when he knows the geography of the Xiongnu, can he draw a map of the Xiongnu map and the approximate location of Ding Ling, Jiankun and other departments and give it to the boy?"
”In the past 50 years, it is the era of geographical discovery that belongs to the Han Dynasty, with the footsteps of the Han envoys, the south, the west, the north, and the east, all of which have been discovered one after another in the legendary places of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Legend of Mu Tianzi.The horizons of the Han people have been broadened several times, and Zou Yan's view of the world of "Great Kyushu" has also been recognized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sang Hongyang and others.But this knowledge is still only known by a few high-ranking people, and in the consciousness of most people, it is 2,500 miles out of Jingzhao, which is a land of deserted clothes and food.So Ren Hong wants to do something to preserve and consolidate those achievements and carry them forward.In addition to that, he has another purpose.When he asked the right question in Shangshutai a few days ago, Ren Hong understood that even the bigwigs of the Chinese and Korean assemblies felt that the Western Regions was a useless place, not to mention all living beings.Although Ren Hong was able to use the Silk Road to obtain gold to persuade the Dasi farmland to prolong his life, this alone was not enough to make people realize the importance of the Western Regions.And if he wants to make the Silk Road within three or five years, immediately obtain huge profits that will attract the attention of the Han people, he can't do it."
Therefore, the Xiongnu are still there, and the DPRK and China will actively agree to open up the Western Regions, if the Xiongnu have been destroyed in ten years, and the Han will have no enemies?
I'm afraid that the revocation of the protectorate of the Western Regions and the transfer of Hanque back to Dunhuang will be noisy again. ”The Xiongnu was the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty hated this enemy, but it was the external forces and threats it constantly exerted from the north that allowed the Tianhan to complete the unification and forge a body of steel.Historically, after finally solving this great problem, both Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty died slowly without a strong enemy, and finally blew themselves up, inseparable from Mencius's words: "Born in sorrow, die in peace!"
”Ren Hong shook his head, and there was a plan faintly in his heart.A few days later, just as Ren Hong was still pondering how to change the map of the counties and counties in the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate will be officially established in the spring of next year, and the news that the first Metropolitan Protector was elected as Fu Jiezi, Marquis of Yiyang, has also spread from the Yang Palace to the subject country."
It's done!"
The officials of the canonical state who single-handedly contributed to this matter cheered, but the biggest hero, Ren Hong, had a calm face, but he laughed proudly in his heart."
Old man, old man, the Western Regions are protected, this is my revenge on you.""
The taste of March and March in the Western Regions, you can taste it!"
Perhaps because he was happy in his heart, Ren Hong worked overtime today, and it was already dark, and when he walked out of the office building, almost all the officials were gone, but the hall of Su Wu, a subordinate country, was still lit.Ren Hong walked in to take a look, but saw that Su Wu was not wearing a crown, showing pale hair, still lying on the desk to write and draw.Take a closer look, but it is the Xiongnu, Ding Ling, and Jiankun Yutu that he promised to give Ren Hong, and the Baikal Lake where Su Wu shepherded sheep was the Ding Lingbu who belonged to the Xiongnu, and Li Ling, who had a close relationship with him, is now in the Xiongnu as the king of Jiankun.Ren Hong couldn't help but feel ashamed, Su Wu was very diligent and self-disciplined, and the office hours were full, and only when the matter at hand was finished, he would do this extra work, so he said: "It's cold, why don't Su Gong go home and drink hot soup and paint again?"
”"It's almost over, let's go back when we're done."
Su Wu raised his eyes, which were a little heavy in his eyes, and his words were very peaceful, but when Ren Hong heard it, he felt extremely sad and sad."
There is no difference between returning early and returning late, anyway, at the old man's house, there is no one waiting" PS: I haven't eaten yet, and the third chapter is before 0 o'clock.
