After the hunt with Yulin and Woyang palace tribes ended, each tribe disbanded and returned to their respective pastures.

"Commander, the construction of Hongyuan Palace in Liugu, Liangzhou has been completed, and various ministries have been reorganized, with a total of three thousand households..."

"Well, I've seen it." Shao Shude stopped Yang Yao and said: "The guards are pro-army and were born in a bitter cold land. The soldiers and people are tenacious and resistant to war. I can rely on you with confidence."

"Commander, Hongyuan Palace is far away in Liangzhou." Yang Yao thought for a while and said, "Even Yulin Palace and Woyang Palace are also far away in Yinshan Mountain."

"I know what you mean." Shao Shude shook his head and said with a smile: "If I want to rule the world in the future, I will seize the Xixi Ranch and move it there."

Yang Yao pretended not to have heard about "Dingding the World", thought about it for a moment, felt a little sad, and said: "Does the commander know the old things in the six towns?"

Shao Shude pondered, he knew what Yang Yao meant.

The Six Towns Uprising in the Northern Wei Dynasty was truly a major event with far-reaching influence, and even shaped the political pattern of China for hundreds of years, that is, the political opposition between the two major groups of Hebei and Guanlong.

At the end of the previous dynasty, why was Dou Jiande able to mobilize so many troops? Why was Liu Heitai able to continue to fight against Li Tang? There are profound reasons for this.

In short, from the beginning of the Six Towns Uprising, to the coexistence of the Eastern and Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Northern Qi, to the end of the Sui Dynasty when Dou Jiande raised troops to fight against the Guanlong military group, to the Anshi Rebellion of this dynasty and the stubborn separatist forces in the towns of Hebei, there is one consistent

The core is that people from Hebei fight against people from northwest China.

China's economic center of gravity has long since moved from Guanzhong to Hebei.

With its dense population, rich products and prosperous economy, Hebei is undoubtedly the first important town.

Compared with Hebei, Huainan and Jiangnan are not on the same level in terms of population, money and food.

With the level of prosperity in Hebei, it is certainly more than enough to support the capital, but what about the political factors?

Yang Yao was from Linzhou, a standard Guanlong athlete. He lived in the Longxing land of Yuwen Black Otter, and instinctively disliked Hebei.

On the other hand, do Hebei people like you?

Shao Shude did not expect Yang Yao to be so smart. He guessed his idea of ​​making Youzhou the capital from just a few words. He did not dare to directly dissuade him. Instead, he started from the Hebei people's views on the Guanlong people and talked about it in a roundabout way.

"I want to be the emperor of the Central Plains, and I also want to be the Great Khan of the grassland." Shao Shude said bluntly: "In the whole world, only Youzhou is the most suitable. It is close to the grassland, and the emperor can patrol north and west at any time. The old land of Pinglu Army is lost.

It would be a pity to give it to the Khitan. If they were to conquer the country, they would have to recruit talented people from the Central Plains to immigrate to the border."

"The commander-in-chief wants to move the palace subordinates to the old place of Xixi, right? It's also so that he can go on patrol at any time, right?" Yang Yao said.

"You know the current atmosphere." Shao Shude said, not knowing how to continue.

Yang Yao is not a time traveler and does not know the existence of the Five Dynasties.

Is the existence of these five dynasties, Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou, really an accident?

If Zhao Kuangyin had been born decades earlier and had succeeded in usurping power, could he have released his military power over a glass of wine? Dreaming!

The warriors haven't killed enough! They haven't killed enough that they are afraid of themselves! They haven't killed enough that all strata of the country are shouting at them to kill them!

Any policy must take into account the social climate at that time.

The social atmosphere at this time was to kill, kill, kill. I care about you, the king of heaven, and the one with strong soldiers and horses is the emperor. If you make me unhappy, I will rebel and kill him to turn the world upside down.

Starting from the Northern Dynasties, there were many rebellions and usurpers.

This was not an era when Neo-Confucianism flourished and imperial power was stable in later generations.

The prime minister of the country salutes, and the emperor salutes in return. The two parties sit and talk, and are served tea.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the prime minister no longer had a seat, and the flattering title "Sir" began to appear.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the status of ministers was even lower, and they even had to kneel down to worship the emperor. The title "Sir" began to become widespread, and they were already inferior in terms of personality.

These are two social atmospheres and two social forms.

Shao Shude had been ups and downs in the late Tang Dynasty for so many years. He could be sure that if he failed to unify the world, a situation similar to the Five Dynasties where you sing and I come on would be unavoidable.

Everyone is a careerist, everyone wants to usurp the throne and rebel, everyone is, well, a traitor.

It has to go through the cruel Five Generations before the social atmosphere can be reversed.

Even the hero who kills everyone must be grateful that power can be transferred smoothly. If the hero does not live long, it will be dangerous.

Even if he lives a long life, if he wants to reduce the vassal status and take back power, his old subordinates who once loyally followed him to conquer the world will turn away.

Zhao Kuangyin actually completed the final blow on the basis of his predecessors' overcoming obstacles.

Zhu Quanzhong cut down the vassal vassal and forced the old generals to rebel, and the Second Emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty died.

Li Cunxu cut down the vassal vassal, abandoned his moral integrity, and established a religious sect that was full of elbows and armpits.

If Shao Shude wants to reduce the vassal status in the future, will he get the support of everyone? Will there be careerists who will take the opportunity to cause chaos?

He didn't dare to think that he was better than everyone else.

He needs a force independent from the existing system to act as a check and balance. Even if he becomes corrupted and degenerates in the future, if he can survive the most difficult period, he will have already made a lot of money.

If it can still bring benefits to future generations, that would be an unexpected surprise. If not, it doesn't matter. The transfer of power in the first two or three generations is the most difficult, just get over it.

By setting the capital in Youzhou, he can inspect the grasslands nearby and maintain relationships with private tribes. Hebei's rich wealth will also support the capital, and maritime transportation is convenient, which is conducive to pioneering and enterprising, if he wants to regain the old land of Andong.

But what Yang Yao said is also true.

"I didn't realize that there was such a big rift between Guanlong Jian'er and the scholars in Hebei. Are there many people who hold this view?" Shao Shude asked.

"Commander, the key is not how the people of Guanlong view the people of Hebei, but how the people of Hebei view the people of Guanlong." Yang Yao replied.

What a slick guy! He avoided answering. But Shao Shude knew it well, and the regional prejudice was indeed not small.

Compared to Guanlong people, Hebei people probably feel closer to Khitan people, Xi people, and Goguryeo people.

Compared to Hebei people, Guanlong people probably feel closer to Dangxiang people and Uighurs.

After all, since the Northern Dynasties, the entire north has been based on regional confrontation, not national confrontation.

Why is it so difficult to do something? Do we have to kill all the people in the three towns of Hebei who have the ability to resist?

"Let me take care of the bodyguards!" Shao Shude was a little angry and said: "The two thousand people from Henan Prefecture will be transferred back next year and disbanded, and a new group of people will come over."

Yang Yao lowered his head in response.

Shao Shude felt powerless. Some things are really difficult when your base is against you.

Li Cunxu enlisted the people from Houliang to fight against the old people from Hedong, and finally killed himself.

Is the reincarnation of five generations really destiny?

…

The fourth day of September in the third year of Dashun, Chang'an.

Xie Tong's life has been very sad recently because he is almost out of money.

The official who entered the memorial hall belonged to Li Zhen. He was a vicious villain who deliberately wanted to see himself embarrassed and refused to help him at all.

In a few days, if there is still no money, Xie Tong plans to go to Jinzouyuan for food and lodging. At that time, there will be trouble. Let's see if the guy dares to stop him.

"Oh! There's no point in saying harsh words." Xie Tong finally decided to go to Weiqiao Town and stay at the home of a businessman from the same town.

"Before Shangzhou closed the road, news came that Wang Shenchao, the governor of Quanzhou, had surrounded Fuzhou with a large number of troops. Dong Chang of Yuezhou sent 5,000 troops to help Fan Hui of Fuzhou. Qian Liu of Hangzhou was out of favor and helped with money and food. Quanzhou's army was strong

Defeated. However, they did not retreat and continued to fight, making life difficult for the people of Fuzhou." A fellow countryman sighed.

Xie Tong also sighed: "Dong Chang, Fan Hui, Qian Liu and their ilk are trying to kill the people, and they succeed one after another. I really have no eyesight."

In fact, in the eyes of the court officials, Dong Chang's image was quite good.

This guy served as the military governor of Wei Shengjun, leading eight states including Yue, Qu, Taiwan, and Ming Dynasty. Even Qian Liu was originally with him. Because of his contribution to defeating Liu Hanhong, he got the post of governor of Hangzhou. This year, the imperial court awarded Qian Liu

Wu Sheng held the post of envoy of the military capital regiment and owned the land of Hangzhou and Suzhou.

After Sun Ru's defeat, Qian Liu also gained some benefits and collected some of the defeated Cai soldiers and organized them into Wuyongdu.

This man was extremely ambitious and extravagant, so he imposed excessive taxes and levies on his people. He "harvested his people to do extravagant and arrogant things, including chickens, fish eggs, and grebes, and he would take them as soon as he arrived."

Even a chicken, a fish, and an egg had to be snatched away to satisfy his extravagant and lustful life. Many people had their homes broken and died. He built a lot of construction projects in his hometown, built mansions, and decorated them extremely extravagantly. He also paid great attention to ostentation.

, the entourage, and the bodyguards were all extremely majestic and capable, even more impressive than Shao Shude and Zhu Quanzhong.

When dealing with disobedient subordinates, he often cuts off his heart and liver. His cruelty and extravagance make him worthy of being a warrior in troubled times.

If it weren't for his father's wisdom and persuasion from time to time, he would probably be on the road of no return.

Dong Chang also often plundered people's belongings.

However, he did not forget the imperial court. He used a considerable portion of the looted goods and sent five hundred sergeants to Chang'an each time, with constant tributes. The imperial court liked him so much that he was promoted to the title of Prince of Yun'an.

.

Going to Yuezhou to announce the decree was also a good job.

After Dong Chang received the edict, he would count the number of words on it and reward him with a piece of silk for each word. The angel would come home with a full load every time.

However, Dong Chang has been a little dissatisfied recently. He often told his officials that he was very disappointed that the imperial court was not willing to grant him the title of King of Yue because he was so diligent in offering sacrifices.

Damn it! It’s true that the ignorant are fearless.

Today, even Shao Shude, Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong did not dare to ask for Wang Jue, but Dong Chang was very courageous.

But there may be some changes recently.

There are rumors that the imperial court may give Dong Chang the title of King of Yue. It is said that he was under some pressure and it is not known who gave it to him.
To be continued...
