Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 236: Appease Liangzhou

"Please don't worry if you ride on the left side of the car, a certain will definitely protect the land of Liangzhou for the court." Liu Ye said firmly.

Huangfu Song was silent slightly, and then nodded: "Fine, since you insisted on this, I would have let these Qiangs go."

Liu Ye was overjoyed, holding his fist and saying, "Thank you Zuo Chaqi."

After Liu Ye released more than 20,000 prisoners of Qiang and Hu Bing, it really had a positive effect in Liangzhou. Many Qiang people thought that their father and brother would not be able to return, but Liu Ye released them back.

The effect is also very obvious. Tens of thousands of Qiang people are grateful to Liu Ye, and they persuade the soldiers who had been troubled by Han Sui to stand by themselves.

"Mother, the child is back."

"God bless, my child, don't mess around at will, you know?"

"Mother, the child dare not."

Dialogues of this kind were staged in many Qiang families, and after discussing with Fu Xie, Liu Ye launched the "Internal Relocation Order" while the iron was hot.

Qiang people who migrate inland to work as farmers, 20 acres of uncultivated wasteland can be passed down from generation to generation, and they are private land. Taxes are reduced by half within three years. Those who settle in prefectures and counties are treated the same as Han people for more than three years.

It is not uncommon for foreigners to invade the Han Dynasty, but in fact not all ethnic groups are predators. Among the Qiang people are peace-loving people. Hearing the order issued by Liu Ye, many Qiang people even moved their families to Liangzhou. Among the counties, Liangzhou's population, which was declining by the war, began to increase slowly.

However, a new problem soon broke out in Liangzhou, that is, many Han officials were harsh and even aggressive towards Qiang people, causing many Qiang people to complain, and this problem is difficult to solve.

"From a certain point of view, it would be better to rule Qiang with Qiang." Liu Ye said slowly.

Fu Xie frowned: "Using Qiang to rule Qiang?"

"Yes." Liu Ye nodded, "Dividing the Qiang people into settlements and governing them, the grassroots officials and the collection of grain are all the responsibility of the Qiang people, but in order to prevent the Qiang people from losing their tails, the Qiang people can live in one village at most, and try to go to Liangzhou as much as possible. Migrate from the Mainland."

In fact, this is the embryonic form of ethnic regional autonomy in later generations. It’s just that Liu Ye did not directly demarcate the autonomous regions, but imitated the ethnic autonomous prefectures and autonomous villages. Otherwise, there are too many Qiang people living together and a new rebellion erupts. That's not good.

Fu Xie immediately drafted a decree according to Liu Ye's instructions, and ordered the Qiang people who had migrated from the interior to the counties. The main difference between the Qiang people and the Han people lies in the way of production. Therefore, the nomads must go south to plunder the Central Plains dynasty whenever the climate is cold.

Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the Northern Expedition eliminated the nomads, why not just fundamentally transform the nomads and turn the Qiang and Huns into members of the Han nation?

But even so, Liu Ye did not relax his armaments. After a battle with Han Sui Liangzhou, his corporals lost more than tens of thousands of people, but it also turned these newly recruited soldiers into a viable combat force.

In the following months, the tens of thousands of army’s food and grass were supplied by Meiyang Daying. Therefore, Liangzhou’s food and grass reserves can be regarded as abundant. The total number of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou is more than 37,000. The total population of Liangzhou is so far. In his early half of a million, Liu Ye thought that his military power was basically enough. In fact, Liu Ye even wanted to disarm some of the soldiers and return them to the fields. In his opinion, with the productivity of the Han Dynasty, a military-civilian ratio of 20 to one is more appropriate.

The Shuhan was destroyed, and the State of Wei thoroughly investigated its population. It was found that the Shuhan had a population of 940,000 people and raised one hundred and two thousand soldiers and horses, which had exceeded ten to one. The reason why Zhuge Liang returned from the Northern Expeditions was actually Because of the constraints of grain and grass, he was helpless to retreat, and even rushed to Hanzhong to organize grain production.

If there are more troops, the consumption of grain and grass will naturally increase. If you want to reduce food consumption, you have to reduce the number of troops, but reducing the number of troops will not be able to win the Northern Expedition. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition will naturally be difficult to succeed. Even if he did his best, he couldn't make up for the scourge of military violence.

Of course, Liu Ye, who feels deeply concerned about this, must be sympathetic to the people's strength and write to the court as the governor.

"Lecturer Liu Ye told me: Liangzhou has been war-torn for a long time, and a certain soldier in his head fought for thousands of miles. After dozens of battles, his subordinates were exhausted, and the people complained endlessly... Your Majesty is especially requested to reduce or exempt taxes to stabilize the hearts of Liangzhou's people..."

After seeing Liu Ye's performance, the Emperor of Han Ling was very happy, and immediately decreed that Liangzhou's tax would be reduced or exempted for one year, and the tax would be reduced by half within three years. However, in Liangzhou, Lingdi can be so generous, because the total population of Liangzhou is only a few hundred thousand. If Liu Ye is replaced with Yanzhou, Yuzhou or Jizhou, it is estimated that the Han Lingdi will be distressed if he is exempted from taxes for half a year. After all, Runan County alone has a population of two million, which is more than four Liangzhou.

These Qiangs were at best a group of accomplices, so Liu Ye let the captives go, but the handling of Han Sui's family was very clear.

On the seventh day of October, Liu Ye ordered the arrest of 76 members of Han Sui’s family, all of which were killed.

In Han Sui's family, there are inevitably several-year-old children, as well as elderly men and women who are over half a hundred years old. They claim that the crime is not as good as their family members. However, all dynasties and dynasties have hardly tolerated major crimes of rebellion, so Liu Ye was unable to change this result.

However, because of the tax exemption power he won, the counties of Liangzhou entered a period of prosperous development for a while, and Liu Ye did his duty as an official, persuading farmers to build academies.

And since the Liangzhou counter-insurgency battle was won, there was no need for the Han army stationed in Meiyang Camp. Therefore, the Emperor Ling ordered the chariot general Zhang Wen to step down as a general and return to the court.

Luoyang.

"Suigao, let's talk about it." Lingdi sat on the Hu bed leisurely. This Huren's stuff is quite comfortable to sit on, much easier than sitting on his knees.

He Jin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, rely on your Majesty's Tianzong Shenwu, and the emperors of the past dynasties have blessed you. Our Han army first pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion and settled in Liangzhou. This is a great victory and we should celebrate.

Lingdi frowned: "How should we celebrate?"

He Jin arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty can read the three armies in Luoyang, patrol on horseback, and show the world his majesty. Presumably later historians will record his majesty."

Both the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties were founded by Wu. The emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Chu and Han dynasties, fought for hegemony and defeated Xiang Yu to establish the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu used Hebei as a foundation to conquer the capital of Luoyang.

"Okay, let the general handle this matter. By the way, let Liu Ye and Huangfusong be called back."
