"The East is called Yi, and its countries have Lulou, Buyeo, Dongwofu, Beiwofu, Hui, Sanhan, Wa and so on."
Fan Mingyou is worthy of being the general of Du Liao who has been in Youzhou for a long time, and he is easy to come to the northeastern countries of the Han Dynasty.Ren Hong had actually paid attention to the Northeast when he was in the canon country before, and even pushed the imperial court to send envoys to visit Wajima in the name of drawing a map.So he knew that Lu Lou was Zhou Shi Su Shen, the ancestor of the Jurchens, living in Heilongjiang, the outer northeast, no monarch, still in the barbaric fishing tribe era, between the mountains and forests, real estate grains, linen, pig raising is a good hand, eating its meat, clothing its skin.In winter, Lu Lou would mix lard with mud and coat his body to protect himself from the wind and cold, anyway, the Han envoy who went there said so when he returned.However, the Woolou people, who lived near the sea, were also terrible pirates, and they often sailed south to attack the Wofu people on the east coast of North Korea in later generations, so the Wofu people ran into the mountains whenever the sea thawed.Compared with the barbaric Rulou, their southern neighbor, the Buyeo, was more aware and had established a state.Because it occupies the core of the Northeast Plain, it is the most open, the soil is suitable for grains, agriculture is the industry, and there are towns made of logs.Under the king, there were even official positions, with six animals as famous officials, such as the minister of state called Ma Jia, that is, the horse official, and the general called Niu Jia.And the dog officer.In a few decades, on the edge of Xuansu County, which was not well controlled by the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo from Buyeo will also emerge, and if the Han Dynasty retreats in the northeast, others will gain an inch.And in the south of Lelang County, Sanhan, was treated differently by the Han Dynasty, although the southern part of the peninsula is mountainous, in the eyes of the Han people, the Sanhan people are relatively bright.They are not only good at farming, but also have a handsome man, the Mahan people know how to raise silkworms, and the Chenhan people are called "Qin Han" by the envoys, claiming that their ancestors fled from the Central Plains at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the language and the Central Plains can be communicated, and there is a little etiquette.The total number of the three Han countries is 78, and according to the Han envoys, there are "more than 100 countries" in the Wadao countries on the east side of the sea, and 30 of them have established ties with the Han Dynasty, the largest of which is called the "Yamatai Kingdom"."
What more than 100 countries, more than 100 villages, right?"
This is vicious, but what Fu Jiezi said, as the former protector of the Western Regions, he is a hardcore westward faction.In the past four years, there have been many awkward quarrels with Pham Minh Woo in China and North Korea, and the three Han and Japanese people who were pulled by the Han envoy to "come to the dynasty from a hundred countries" in the first year are indeed hillbillies who have never seen the world, and some of the "country" has a population of only more than 100, and the imperial court is embarrassed to mention it again.Fan Mingyou immediately retorted: "The Marquis of Yiyang is too ignorant, just talking about the states of the land of Sanhan, there are more than 10,000 large households, and thousands of small ones, each of which is between the mountains and seas, and the land is more than 4,000 miles, and there are millions of people in total. ”"On the other hand, in the Western Regions, in my opinion, it is known as the protection of the fifty countries, but in fact, most of them are just small villages, right?
I heard that a country of Yi Nai, with a household of one hundred and twenty-five and a mouth of six hundred and seventy, is not as good as a Li Lu of the Han Dynasty, which can also be called a country?
It's ridiculous!
”Fu Jiezi said with a smile: "General Duliao is lonely and unheard, Wusunkou is 500,000, Yue's and Kangju are more than 100,000, Daxiakou is more than 1 million, and there are millions of people in peace and body poison. ”If you want to talk about this, Fu Jiezi has taken a big advantage, who made the concept of "Western Regions" so big?
As long as it's western, you can put it in it.Fan Mingyou only wanted to ridicule him, but unfortunately, over the years, the feet of the Han envoys were about to break, but "Dongyi" came and went to find just a few states and nationalities, and the rest were all seas, unlike the Western Regions, there seemed to be countless states on the horizon, and they could never be explored.Fu Jiezi also talked about the rare products of the Western Regions: "In the Western Regions, there are Cheshi grapes, Khotanese jade, Loulan's cotton, Wusun Dawan's horses, and Yue's Xuanlin. ”Fan Mingyou really couldn't find a stone arrow that was too good to fight for a while?
I really couldn't take it, so I held back for a while before saying: "Dongyi has a mink!"
”Who doesn't know that there are minks in the Northeast?
Mink fur is indeed a good thing, and the nobles of this year often use it to show off their wealth.But Chang'an to Liaodong Xiangping 5,000 miles, from Dongyi is even farther, there are still a lot of mountains and forests in various places, animals and beasts often haunt, if you want to hunt fur nearby, there is no need to be like the modern Russians to go far and far, chasing mink and otters across the whole of Siberia.Fan Mingyou stiffened his face: "Nonsense, five thousand miles away from Chang'an, the Western Regions."
From Luoyang, Xiangping is only 3,000 miles away from the Central Plains, and it is closer if you walk from Jizhou.And there are many snow-capped mountains and deserts in the Western Regions, while there are many fertile black soil in the East, which is suitable for five grains. ”Fu Jiezi shook his head: "However, Dongyi is bitter cold, and people can't live in winter." ”Fan Mingyou thought that he had caught the flaw, and laughed: "The Western Regions are not cold?
Yiyang Hou, don't deceive me that I haven't heard the poem written by Xi'an Hou with you, doesn't it say that Hu Tian is snowing in August?
And the snow in the North Garden will not melt until April of the following year!
”Oops, Ren Hong is a little embarrassed, and the pit he dug in the early years is buried in his teammates.But Ren Hong underestimated Fan Mingyou too much before, and he was able to be favored by Huo Guang as a son-in-law, and he still had his outstanding "strength".Because he stayed in Youzhou all the year round, most of the generals under his command were Youji people, seeing that Fu Jiezi and Ren Hong, the Western Regions were mixed up by war, Fan Mingyou was also red-eyed, and he only felt that if the imperial court could open up the East like the Western Regions, destroy a country today, and collect a state tomorrow, the good days of Youzhou officials and marquis were coming.It's just that he doesn't read as much as Fu Jiezi, and the overall situation is not as good, and if he continues to argue, Fan Mingyou will fall behind.There is no need for Ren Hong to go out of the horse, Fu Jiezi began to talk about the trade on the Silk Road, and countless silks were sold to Hu merchants in Yumen Pass every year, in exchange for famous horses, beautiful jade and even gold, and the Western Regions became a good place for gold-scarce Han to earn foreign exchange.And those backward states in Dongyi, the village chiefs of small utensils, except for those brought back by the tribute, can afford to buy a silk horse from the Han Dynasty?
In front of the facts, Fan Mingyou was speechless, so he could only ask for his life: "General, when Emperor Xiaowu was in power, Peng Wu wore filthy North Korea and placed Canghai County, which is no less than Zhang Qian's passage to the Northwest Kingdom.The subordinates thought that the benefits of Dongyi were no less than those of the Western Regions, and there was a lot to be done!
”Ren Hong also knows that this is a battle for routes, whether it is to go west or east, both sides are enough to beat the dog's brain.But obviously the westward expansion has the advantage, before the cotton industry did not rise, the Central Plains people in the Northeast can not stay, people are born to yearn for warmth and sunshine, the cold of the Northeast winter, the difficulty of the development of the deep mountains and old forests, want to colonize it has to take a generation or even ten generations of life to pile up.If you can gain a firm foothold, the long-term benefits will naturally exist, but in the short term, or even within a hundred years, you will definitely lose all your money.Even if you want the imperial court to suddenly change its direction, regardless of difficulties and interests, it is almost impossible to move eastward on a large scale.This is determined by the foundation of the Han Dynasty, since the capital was set in Chang'an, the successive generations of the Son of Heaven have adhered to the Guanzhong standard, the Guanxi is not divided into land, not the marquis, and the people who moved to the east of the Guandong are in Wuling to consolidate the foundation.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also tirelessly expanded the scope of "Guanxi", including Sanhe, Taiyuan, and Shangdang.The Hexi and Western Regions are also regarded as part of the great depth of Kansai.On the contrary, after the fall of Wei's Joseon, the eastern border became an area gradually abandoned by the Han Dynasty, and the territory continued to shrink.In the past, there were only two counties left in the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and Zhenfan and Lintun were merged into Lelang and Xuansu, and it was difficult to keep the existing borders, so how could they open up again?
Dongyi is different from the Western Regions, the Western Regions is the territory of the Han and Xiongnu competition, strategic places, no matter how much it costs, it has to be taken.Dongyi is a chicken rib, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it Even a pity, it is also an idea that only a few people such as Ren Hong will give birth to, the left arm of the Huns has long been broken when Wuhuan Xianbei counterattacked, Fan Mingyou's proposal is purely out of factional self-interest, and it is not beneficial to state affairs.Therefore, Huo Guang's attitude was very obvious, and he only did not say it explicitly, but at this moment, Ren Hong, who had just entered China and North Korea, suddenly jumped back and supported Fan Mingyou!"
Hexi in the Western Regions is naturally beneficial to the Han Dynasty, but General Duliao's strategy to open up the East should not be abandoned!"
Fan Mingyou looked at Ren Hong in surprise, Fu Jiezi was also stunned, even Huo Guang raised his eyes, I don't know why Ren Hong suddenly wanted to help Fan Mingyou speak, it can be seen from the swallow drink that day that Fan Mingyou's jealousy of him is beyond words.Because of Ren Hong's generosity?
How can it be!
Ren Hong began to take the initiative to pick up the missing pieces for Fan Mingyou: "There are two points that General Liao has not mentioned, one is that it is extremely far from the Central Plains to Liaodong and Lelang, but from Qidihuang, Chui, and Zhifu to the north, if you follow the sea breeze, it can be reached in two or three days. ”As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qi people began to beg for a living at sea, relying on the benefits of fish and salt to develop the Shandong Peninsula into the most densely populated area of the Han Dynasty, and the navigation industry is also relatively developed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Wei's Korea, and sent the general Yang Servant of the building boat to cross the sea to attack North Korea, although this road was a failure, lost the face of the Han, but it shows that crossing the Bohai Sea has been very common.At present, the population pressure in Qidi is increasing, the displacement is breeding, and last year's earthquake has made it impossible for many people to resettle, and the climate in southern Liaoning and Lelang on the other side is not as cold as in the northeast, so why not make up for the deficiency?
At least we can consolidate the northeast, and we must not let the borders retreat again."
Second, before the Marquis of Bowang hollowed out the Western Regions, the Han also thought that the northwest was a wasted land, and now the Han envoy has only visited the southwest corner of the island, and has not been able to get a glimpse of the whole picture, how can he know that there are no more big countries in the east?"
Ren Hong knew that there was indeed no Ming country in the East, only the Pacific Ocean, but others didn't know.Saying the answer will make people die, feel little interested, continue to make the map shrouded in mystery, make everything hazy, and even more arouse people's desire to explore, anyway, Ren Hong's previous life is playing games and opening the map is this mentality.The development of Hexi in the Western Regions could only rely on the strength of Guanzhong Sanfu, because it was too far away, and Kanto rarely participated in this matter.Instead of letting the people of Yan Qi give up the near and far, it is better to let them set their eyes on the east that is close at hand.From then on, Kansai to the west, Kanto to the east, the big man is a double-headed wrong!
The dragon has three heads.Ren Hong almost forgot about this stubble, the Son of Heaven sealed the emperor's eldest son to Yuzhang, in addition to the east and west, there is also a head towards the vast hot south, this is a dragon that devours the world, it is also a thousand-year-long exploration, after he has done so much, how long can the country of Han be Zuo?
So on the basis of Fan Minh You, Ren Hong proposed a more advanced and bold plan."
General, when filial piety is set up in Canghai, Zhenfan, Lintun and gradually abandoned, it can be known that Kaidongyi should not be in a hurry, you might as well follow the Western Regions, since you can set up the Western Regions Protectorate, then why not set up an Anton Protectorate in the valley of Canghai County south of Lelang, choose the good one as the protector, and govern and restrain the Dongyi States?"
As for this, let the general think about it himself, because if Ren Hong continues to talk about it and recommends Fan Mingyou as the first "Anton Duhu", Huo Guang is afraid that he will suspect that Ren Hong wants to take away his most capable son-in-law, and he wants to be unfavorable to the Huo family.Ren Hong said, but Fan Mingyou was stunned, I don't know why Ren Hong suddenly helped him today, he only scratched his face and didn't know how to respond.However, after Huo Guang thought about it, he turned to Fan Mingyou and Fu Jiezi and collapsed Ren Hongyitong: "Take a look." ”"This is what things should look like, just talk about things, no matter who you are, you are equivalent to a Chinese and Korean official, you should endure each other for the country, don't attack each other at every turn!""
The subordinate is guilty."
Fu Jiezi and Fan Mingyou could only apologize to the general, but Fan Mingyou still felt that Ren Hong was harboring a conspiracy.And Fu Jiezi also thought that Ren Hong might have some ideas.Huo Guang said to Bingji, who was recorded on the side: "General Anxi's proposal should be written down and handed over to the second government for discussion, in fact, whether it was Bowang Hou Tong's conquest of the Western Regions to conquer the Great Wan and the subdued countries, or Xun Yuyang's servant to conquer North Korea and collect Wuhuan, it was all done by the Han who wanted to break the left and right arms of the Xiongnu.It's a pity that for example, for the mountain, it has not been completed. ”"But today is different!"
Huo Guang looked at Ren Hong: "Now the Marquis of Yiyang and the Marquis of Xi'an run the Northern Court of the Western Regions, serve the Fifty Kingdoms, collect the call, help Wusun, and the right arm of the Xiongnu has been broken. ”"And General Duliao surrendered to Wuhuan, and repeatedly came out of the clouds, shocking Dongyi, and the left arm of the Huns was also broken."
Huo Guang pulled out his saber and pointed directly at the map of the world behind him, and the tip of the sword was aimed at Shan Yuting, the Hun who was in the north of the Han Dynasty!"
It happened that the Xiongnu encountered a natural disaster, the countries deviated, and thirteen people died and fifteen animals died, and they were greatly weakened.The ancients said, Tianyu did not take the blame, this rare opportunity in a hundred years, the Han Dynasty should join forces with the power of the country, hit its heart, and complete its work in one battle!
”Sure enough, the general still remembered the destruction of the Huns, did he realize that his life was short, and he began to be a little anxious?
Ren Hong just wanted to sigh.After all, before that moment comes, who can guess the date of his death?"
Next year is the last year of the beginning, and the generals and Jiuqing have 2,000 stones, and they will hurry up to prepare for heavy grain and training and other things."
Huo Guang slashed his sword on the case, wanting to declare his determination, and Ren Hong and the others in the hall stood up one after another!"
I've made up my mind!""
In the year after tomorrow, raise 200,000 soldiers to attack Hu, and the Huns will be destroyed!"
