Chapter 524 Multiple Choice Questions (1)
The car arrived in Shangyang Prefecture.
Shangyang Prefecture is Shangjing of Liao Kingdom.
Of course, Zhao Heng would definitely not retain the character Jing. There is only one place in the five capitals of Liao Kingdom, which is Youzhou. However, Youzhou became Beijing and Jingde City. This is still Youzhou, which is the gathering place of Han people, otherwise the character Jing will be removed.
Zhongjing was changed to Zhongping Prefecture, and Tokyo was changed to Dongyang Prefecture.
There are many state names that have been changed, because many prefectures are too similar to the Central Plains, such as Yinzhou, Suzhou, Tongzhou, etc. Jingzhou was re-changed into Zunhua, Pingzhou was re-changed into Lulong, Runzhou became Qinhuangdao, Xizhou became Suizhong, Songshan Prefecture was re-changed into Chifeng, the former Xingzhong Prefecture was re-changed into Chaoyang, Chengzhou was re-changed into Chengchang, Yizhou became Yixian, Bei'an Prefecture was re-changed into Chengde, Yuzhou was re-changed into Lingyuan...
From Mantou Mountain, Yong'an Mountain, that is, the area around Linhuang Prefecture Shangjing below, to Changchun Prefecture east of Mantou Mountain, to the north side of the Huntong River, to the south, to Dashuipo, Chifeng, Songshan and the upper reaches of Liuhe River to Tanshan, and to the prominent part of the ancient Ruzhou Great Wall, more than 70% of the prefectures and counties have been changed, and these names are changed inexplicably.
As for the reason, Song Jiu is the only one who knows it.
However, everyone can understand that the first one is to erase the mark of the Liao Kingdom to facilitate rule. For example, the word Liao is gone and changed to Juhe.
Secondly, the names of the prefectures and counties in the Liao Kingdom overlap with the Song Dynasty, and the prefectures were too dense, and some were less than a thousand households and became prefectures. It doesn’t matter if the prefectures and counties were dense. The main thing is that the prefectures and prefectures were sent to manage them in the future, which would undoubtedly increase the expenses of officials in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, many prefectures also became counties.
This must be changed again.
The one who had this meticulous thought of changing so many names, so Song Jiu changed it to the names of later generations according to the memories of later generations. In fact, some were wrong, such as Chifeng now, which is still far away from Chifeng later generations.
But most of them made him right.
There is no big problem with being right or wrong.
The main thing is the reorganization of prefectures and counties.
This will make the mark of Liao Kingdom fade. If the officials of Liao Kingdom are used, they will have a headache, but in the future, they will mostly be officials of the Song Dynasty, but they will be new places, and it will be the same for them. So Song Jiu spent an hour to complete the "feat" on the map.
Everyone looked at the new name on the map and was a little ridiculous, but in the end they agreed with Song Jiu's approach.
For example, if Chifeng is not called Chifeng, what else is it called? Don’t forget that there is Songzhou on the west side of Qinzhou. However, many yangs appear, Shangyang, Dongyang, Heyang, Chaoyang, and Luyang. The sun shines everywhere.
But from west to north, I basically don’t ask.
Some names were slightly moved, but what was moved was the names of the original Liao garrisons.
There are many reasons. In this circle, including the current Linhuang Prefecture area of Shangyang and Liao Kingdom, people began to settle and farm. The situation in the Jurchens was the worst. In history, there was no way to govern the depths of Liaodong, including the Ming Dynasty.
However, because Song Jiu brought many civil servants and soldiers to guide him decades ago, under the pressure of the Liao Kingdom, Wu Xuanming took the initiative to cooperate, but the situation was better than in many times in history. It may be close to the early days when Shandong people broke into Guandong in the 19th century.
Later, Xiao Yanyan brutally suppressed the independence of the Jurchens, but she continued to retain the advanced measures promoted by Song Jiu. She settled. It was also conducive to governance for the Liao Kingdom.
There are also several large rivers, and there are still many problems in navigation. Including the Yalu River and the Huntong River, most major areas are still very backward. Without the government to carefully sort out the river channels, just like the Yalu River is very dangerous to navigate. There are many reefs in the river channels. Without the local people, the boats can capsize and perish at any time. However, after a little review, the three major rivers of the Liao River, Yalu River and the Huntong River can navigate to many areas, radiating to 70% of the Liaodong area.
Although there is a long period of ice, when spring comes, most areas have more than half a year of navigation.
The imperial court does not expect taxes here for the time being, but if it is opened to navigation, it can prosper the business here, strengthen exchanges and connections with the Central Plains, and complement each other.
We do not expect the tax here to protect the officers and soldiers and other expenses. However, like the northwest, we can train troops here, and some wars may occur one after another. Therefore, in the early stage, not only do we expect taxes, but the court also transported some materials here.
This is also impossible.
People must first be kept in their hearts, so we must implement the low-tax policy first. In addition to the dense population of southern Liaoning and some coastal areas, from the current Tieling and Yinzhou in the past, it was north. Because the Liao Kingdom forced most of the population of Bohai Kingdom to southern Liaoning or Zhongjing, many areas were still empty places, and they must have a long period of rest, rest and development.
Of course, if the governance is done well, the court can collect taxes. Just as Song Jiu did in Lingnan, of course, the northerners are stronger, with less populations and worse foundations. If the court wants to get benefits, it will be slower than Guangnan.
But the court is not in a hurry now. If there is no war or the cost of the Song and Liao war is saved, it would be very amazing.
For example, in the battle of Chanyuan, tens of millions of dollars were spent.
What kind of amazing effect will be achieved by saving this cost and using it to govern the north?
Moreover, the Song Dynasty's finances are still very healthy now. It may be difficult for the next three or four years, but the difficulty lies in these three or four years. And the academy began to try to put the steam engine on the ship and use propellers to push the ship forward.
This technology may take several years to mature.
It does not make the ships faster, but it means that once it succeeds, it does not need to sail with the help of the monsoon. If it is far away, the technology may not be able to keep up, but Liaodong is not too far. Even if it is a detour, the estuary of the Huantong River, with coastlines and supplies along the way. I believe that the Koreans will be obedient, and will also bring them benefits, so there is no need for the monsoon and it will be navigated back and forth.
But this is the situation that can be managed well and invested in this money and manpower.
It’s not possible to go north, the weather is colder and the population is less popular, and it’s not possible to go west. In the desert area, the sparse population is not counted. Without rivers, there is no access to rivers and even if there is access to ships, you can’t let the ship sail. In this era, ships are still the means of transportation with the least freight. If there is no ship, push them to the depths of the desert with a car. Don’t think about it!
This is still a typical realistic style.
Zhao Heng arrived in Shangyang Prefecture.
Many tribal chiefs came to worship.
How powerful was the Liao Kingdom at the time? Under Xiao Yanyan, he almost destroyed the country of Goryeo and even captured the capital of the Goryeo people. Wu Xuanming was so fled to such a big deal. In the end, he was destroyed and died in depressed Song Dynasty. Zhubu rebelled many times and was suppressed.
However, the Song Dynasty army came and the Liao Kingdom was about to perish in two months.
This is wrong. In fact, the destruction of the Liao Kingdom should have started from the general attack on the Song Dynasty in September last year. If all the elite troops were not abandoned together in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yanyan, Han Derang and others were also abandoned in the Song Dynasty, the result would be different.
In May, the Song Dynasty began to attack again. If Yelu Longqing did not concentrate his troops and fought the Song Dynasty to the death in southern Jinzhou, then there would be many troubles in the Song Dynasty's attack this time, and it would take at least several months or even years to recover the Liao Kingdom. In fact, once it was delayed, the Song Dynasty was exhausted from the war and was trapped in financial resources, and it would eventually be left alone.
However, on the surface, the Song Dynasty did take only about fifty days to take down the capital and the capital together.
In addition, in several major battles, the Song army killed and injured countless Liao troops.
In the north, the strong are always respected, and of course it also subverted the concept of most officials in the Song Dynasty.
So the "all races" came to the court. Since the northern races adhered to the concept of the strong as respect, Zhao Heng took the lead and went to Shangyang Prefecture.
I met the chiefs of all tribes in Shangyang Prefecture. But I won’t stay for too long, and it will be difficult to provide supplies when I arrive at Shangyang Prefecture. If the accompanying troops are carried less, the ministers are worried. If they are brought too much, there will undoubtedly be many difficulties.
Maybe because of happiness, maybe it was a test, Zhao Heng had a long list of official positions in Song Jiuyi. For example, the Grand Tutor Kaifu Yi and the Three Sessions and Pingzhangshi were appointed as the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan Quan Youzhou Road Pacification and Field Ambassador and the military and horse management deployment. The State of Shangzhu gave the Purple Fish Bag to the Farmer XX House, and the House of YY House, and later formed the Prince of Youzhou as the governor of Lu Long Zhenwu.
Can you get these two positions?
It should be said that it can.
If you look for it, you can find a lot of problems in Song Jiu. However, in terms of achievements, after pacifying the Liao Kingdom, Song Jiu's achievements were enough to make him one of the top ten prime ministers in the history of this time and space.
Even Fang Du was slightly inferior to him, and his civil administration seemed to be a little better in the civil administration, but he did a little worse in economics, but his martial arts were far inferior. Of course, some people could compare with him, such as Xiao He, Zhao Pu and Li Si, no matter what, they were the contribution of protecting the country.
Or Guan Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, Xie An, and Guo Ziyi, the contributions of these people should be even greater, but they did not unify the world or destroyed the vassal states, which made the contributions slightly inferior.
But how many people have so many important positions in high-ranking officials?
Moreover, where was the Zhenwu Jiedushi? It was the Shuofang area of the original Tang Dynasty. It also led the Sui, Yin, Lin, Sheng and other states, the two surrendered cities in the East and Middle East, and the northern prefectures in Zhenwu Town.
The Lulong Jiedushi refers to Youzhou.
Although it is a virtual position, it can be combined with Song Jiu's career and has extremely strong symbolic significance. If combined with Youzhou County Prince, the symbolic significance will be even stronger.
The ministers in the main hall of the Liao Dynasty Imperial City of Shangjing were breathing heavily.
Song Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to pacify the Northeast, and it is even more difficult to govern the Northeast. That's why I asked for help and stay in the Northeast for a year or two, laying the foundation, and I will retire. If Your Majesty is not happy, I will retire."
Zhao Heng "wakes up": "I made a mistake, I made a mistake."
Maybe it was a mistake. Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, you don't need to doubt people. There are many civil officials in the court who can govern. There may not be many generals who can be the ones. At least in recent years, many areas must have famous generals garrisons. When Liaodong is stable, they can be re-organized. First, Li Jilong must be deployed as the military commander. Civil officials must be in charge of government affairs. Li Jilong is in charge of military affairs. The court is in charge of military affairs. In this way, there will be changes in the clouds and no riots and quickly pacified. At the same time, in order to prevent the northern nomadic peoples, with Li Jilong there, they can form a good cooperation with Youzhou Road. Secondly, Cao Wei must return to Qinzhou to supervise Qinwei Road, Ma Zhijie goes to Bashu and manage Bashu's military affairs. Ding Wei's strategy has relieved the court's worries, and is ultimately a symptom-treatment strategy..."
There is another intention that Song Jiu didn’t say. Cao Wei went to Qinwei and also wanted to run the Tubo and Hexi Corridors, which depends on the national situation.
When Ma Zhijie goes to Sichuan, if the country is in good condition, he can face Dali.
Why are the barbarians in southern Sichuan chaotic and mediocre? It is precisely because Dali makes them fall on both sides. Moreover, if Dali gets Dali, they can form a cross-strike force on Jiaozhi.
Moreover, Ma Zhijie is only fifty years old and Cao Wei is only in his thirties. If the two are not surprised, they will last a long time.
As for their candidates afterwards, can Song Jiu make it clear?
I know, Di Qing. But it’s hard to tell whether Di Qing exists in decades.
Of course, the situation is relatively good now. After many major battles over the past six months, many generals have further grown. Although they cannot be said to be famous generals, there is no problem in supervising thousands of troops to fight.
And he is widely used, including veterans in his sixties and young players in his twentysomething. After several battles, it can be seen which one is better or worse. For example, Wang Chao and Song Jiu were optimistic about it before, but this time he performed very poorly, not as good as his son Wang Deyong.
For example, some people say it is not good, but this time it performed very well.
This is also a valuable asset.
But without saying Song Jiu, everyone knows that during this period, they have been talking about the strengths and weaknesses of each general almost every day to use them, and Zhao Heng’s ears have been called out.
The main reason is that Zhao Heng's abnormal appointment made Song Jiu worry and Li Jilong worried. As the head coach, he also became the prime minister this time and was granted several military governors. If he thought Zhao Heng was worried about them, even if Li Jilong stayed in Yunzhou and did not dare to do anything, it would lose its meaning.
Zhao Heng nodded silently.
I won’t talk about anything else. I will only talk about the Tang Dynasty, when the Turks were destroyed by Li Shimin. But after the destruction, another Turks rose. It was not until the Uighurs cooperated that the harm of the Turks was weakened, but the Uighurs came again. How powerful was the Tubo in the Tang Dynasty? As soon as Princess Wencheng married, Tubo went north to Tuyuhun.
Unless you attack with utmost care like Emperor Wu of Han.
However, the Western Qiang has always troubled the Han Dynasty, and the Huns did not completely lose the threat, but the harm was suddenly left until the Western Jin Dynasty.
It can only be said that the number one strong enemy of the Song Dynasty was destroyed, but it cannot be said that the border troubles were gone.
Song Jiu sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, I retreated bravely. No wonder those heroes in the past did not have a good ending. When there was no reward, they were either killed or rebelled against each other!"
But in general, fortunately, he was holding the title of civil servant, and Zhao Heng was not as suspicious as Zhao Kuangyi. Of course, as an emperor, it would be impossible for him to be suspicious at all.
Song Jiu said the second question: "Now that Yan Yun has taken back, the number one strong enemy has been annihilated, the country does not need so many imprisonments, so the number is just moderate."
Speaking of this, he sighed, and Zhao Heng also sighed.
Although the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Song Dynasty paid a heavy price, first of all, the economy, and the surplus over the years had to be squandered. Although he had obtained a considerable amount of wealth from the Liao Kingdom, he even deliberately enforced a group of tough nobles and seized their property and wealth. It can only be said that this money will cover the current expenses. In the future, there may be sporadic rebellions and wars in Liaodong, and it will be necessary to build them. It will cost too much money.
After dozens of battles, many soldiers died, and the number of casualties reached more than 100,000. Those seriously injured were about to be discharged from the army, and those who died had to pay their families. The entire army lost one-quarter of their troops.
However, in this way, there are only more than 400,000 banished soldiers left, so the country will save a lot of military spending in a year.
There are other measures, such as the shift of the rural soldiers system to the north. In the future, the rural soldiers in Hedong, Hebei will be gradually transformed into the people, so that the two routes will be quickly restored and developed, and some rural soldiers will be set up on Youzhou Road and Yunzhong Road.
This is not a big problem. It turned out that the Liao Kingdom had selected many soldiers here, but now it is just turning regular soldiers into rural soldiers. As for the northern desert, Song Jiu also made it very clear that he did not support his agents.
Just like the Tang Dynasty's support of one against another, it's not worth it.
Instead, continue to differentiate and let it die.
The court's policies only encouraged them to engage in business, learn the Song Dynasty's official language and writing, promote some settlement and pastoral measures, and do not interfere with the rest, so as to reduce unnecessary expenses, troubles and disputes. Or send scouts to pay attention to prevent a certain part of the world from dominating.
Zhao Heng also promised.
However, just as Zhao Heng was about to leave Shangyang Mansion, Li Shenyou found Song Jiu privately.
Wang Qinruo entered the palace to report.
To be honest, Wang Qinruo also made contributions, guarding Daming Mansion, and then made many contributions when planning and governing Yanyun. It is difficult to pacify the world, and even more difficult to govern the world. His achievements lie in the word "governing".
But when the Liao army first went south, he was afraid of entering and persuaded Zhao Heng to escape to the south. His ugly face was a big shot, which attracted many people to laugh at him and also blocked his contributions. So he was often unhappy. Yesterday, he met with Zhao Heng quietly and told Zhao Heng about his contributions, he said, "Do you know gambling? The person who lost money and wanted to get rid of it, so he gave it all, which was called a ruling betting. Your Majesty, Song Jiukou Zhun's ruling betting, but the situation was critical at that time. Once the Liao army broke through the defense line under the city of Chanzhou, several troops would not have time to rescue him, and Your Majesty was in danger. Use Your Majesty's life to gain achievements for thousands of years."
