Chapter 1135 Matters About Xia Sui

"Is it still raining?" Inside the Long Live Hall, Liu Chengyou silently flipped through the memorials presented by various ministries, and suddenly raised his head and asked.

In the words of the emperor, it was the palace attendants who were nervous. One of the servants immediately went to check, and then quickly came back and whispered Yantuo, and then Yantuo reported to Emperor Liu: "The official family, the cold rain has not stopped, but it is much smaller. Already!"

Emperor Liu nodded, no wonder the sound of rain could hardly be heard.It happened that Shi Xizai, a scholar of Chongzhengdian University, came to see him and announced it.In the past two years, Shi Xizai has gone one step further, taking charge of the affairs of the Chongzheng Hall, becoming a real hidden figure.

"Ningji is here, sit down!" Emperor Liu still held Shi Xizai very seriously.

There are all kinds of officials in the court, there is no shortage of mediocre villains, and there is no shortage of modest gentlemen, but Shi Xizai is one of the few gentlemen who can become high officials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As usual, Shi Xizai took his seat after paying his respects and adhering to etiquette.

His body was still stained with rain and dew, and shrouded in obvious water vapor. When Emperor Liu saw it, he immediately ordered Yan Tuo to serve him a bowl of hot soup.Looking at Shi Xizai, Liu Chengyou said: "This rain has been raining for several days, but it still hasn't stopped. The Bian River has risen. I don't know how the river is. I hope there won't be any more disasters like breaching the embankment."

"Your Majesty is worried that the Central Committee has already announced to all Taoists that Yanhe Prefecture and County will be strictly patrolled and guarded!" Shi Xizai said.

"The imperial court should send some special envoys to go down and walk around!" Emperor Liu ordered.

"Yes!"

"Qing is here, what is the important matter?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Shi Xizai presented the seal and said: "Xiazhou's report, the party's ministries have successively sent envoys to express their attachment, Wang You hosted a banquet in Xiazhou, invited the chiefs of the tribes to discuss business, and swore an alliance with them on behalf of the imperial court. All the ministries said, I am willing to submit to the great man forever and be loyal to the imperial court. So far, Xia Sui is safe."

"This is good news!" To this, Emperor Liu's reaction was flat, and he said, "It's just a matter of oaths. If we keep our promises, how strong can we restrain the barbarians? The big men are strong, and they certainly bow their heads and bow their heads. Can I still expect them to be loyal forever?"

Seeing that Emperor Liu's words were cold, Shi Xizai didn't know how to answer the words for a while, so he could only echo: "Your Majesty's words are true, the barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous. Military prestige, this is the only way to show off, not credible."

Liu Chengyou smiled, opened the memorial, and asked, "How do these party members react to the implementation of the Han system and the payment of taxes and tribute?"

"All agreed!"

"So happy to promise?" Liu Chengyou played with taste.

"It is said that when the oath was made, Marshal Yang sent a thousand soldiers to maintain order!" Shi Xizai responded.

After years of understanding and familiarity, the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty have long realized that Xia Sui's problem is difficult for the army to solve, and the difficult thing is the governance of hundreds of thousands of party members.

Unlike the scattered Dangxiang tribes scattered in the Helong area, the Dangxiang tribe in Xiazhou has been settled there for a long time and has a high cohesion. After nearly a hundred years of management by the Tuoba Li family, it is fully equipped to form an independent regime.

It's just that there is a big man, a tiger, by his side, interrupting the process of independence, and even killing this possibility.We must know that in the official history, even in the face of Zhao Song, the founding of Xixia was only realized after more than half a century of fierce battles with the Song Dynasty.

Now, for the initially recovered Xia Sui and the party members who survived it, the first thing Emperor Liu wants to eliminate is the possibility of its independence, weakening the foundation of the Dingnan Army's operation for nearly a hundred years.

Previously, under Liu Chengyou's instruction, after comprehensive consideration and repeated discussions among the officials of the Political Affairs Hall, they finally came up with a set of Xia Sui's aftermath methods and governance strategies.

Basically, the adjustment was made within the framework suggested by Uncle Li Ye. After all, it was in line with the emperor's wishes, and it was also the ultimate goal of the imperial court to govern Xiazhou.It's just that it's not as urgent as Li Ye's request, and it's done in one step.

However, even if the means are relatively soft, there is a basic bottom line, that is, party members must truly be included in the large ruling system, submit to the management of the government, and pay taxes to the court.

With this premise, there is more room for negotiation in other matters.Party members can retain their own customs and customs, and there is no need to forcibly promote the reform and change, but the implementation of the Han legal system is also imperative.

In order to appease the party members, the imperial court also gave certain preferential treatment, such as not collecting any taxes within three years.The party members of various ministries are still allowed to exist in the form of tribes, especially the management of the original leader, and the court selects those who obey the court to grant official positions.The Qingbai salt that the party members relied on was not directly deprived by the imperial court, but the salt supervisor would be sent to "guidance", and at the same time strengthen the trade and economic ties between the party members and the Han people.

Generally speaking, the appeasement policy adopted by the imperial court gradually assimilated the party members on the basis of stabilizing the situation.The meaning of appeasement in later generations has become weakness, surrender, and being despised by others. However, its original intention is by no means a blind concession and compromise, but a policy that takes the overall situation into consideration.

Wei Renpu, a prime minister, is a seasoned seeker of the country. It is understandable that he does not want to adopt urgent policies and drastic measures when the overall situation is settled, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Emperor Liu also understood, so he agreed with their ideas.Of course, the most important thing is that the ministers are well aware of the emperor's goal of annexing and digesting party members, and they are also working hard in that direction.

With this understanding, it is not difficult to reach a consensus with Emperor Liu.

In contrast, the Tuoba Li family was not so polite. Within three generations, regardless of the descendant's descendants, all moved out, and there was no room for negotiation.

After discussion, it was decided to move all members of the Li clan from Li Guangrui to Hebei.In terms of centralized resettlement or decentralized resettlement, the final choice was centralized, without others, and convenient management. The destination of migration was Xiangzhou.

Yinzhou and Suizhou, not unexpectedly, surrendered one after another soon.After all, Li Guangrui, who had always been tough and the most powerful, had surrendered. How could they have other choices? They were all honest.

After the recovery of the four prefectures of Xia and Sui, the court's aftermath orders came one after another without any delay. Yang Ye and Wang You followed the policy of the court and combined with the specific local conditions to implement it.

The matter of relocating the family naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction within the Tuoba Li family. It is not unique to the Han people to think about their homeland, and the party members are also reluctant to leave their homeland.

Especially the Li family, they have long been "new party members" who have broken away from the traditional nomadic production mode.At the same time, it was not a simple matter to carry out the great migration of the Li family. There were many complaints. In addition, Tuoba was originally the majority of the party, and the Li family's lineage started from Li Sigong, and it also flourished. One can imagine the difficulty of moving these people out.

Of course, one is a knife and another is a fish. Under the power of the big Han, no matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction there are within the Li family, in the era when the Han army is rampant, they cannot allow them to have more choices.

Yang Ye had received the emperor's instruction, and Shunchang was in rebellion. His saber hadn't been sharpened yet.

On the other hand, it is the handling of the originally scheduled troubled army. In this matter, we should be much more cautious. There is no matter that causes more serious damage than the army's problems.

There are tens of thousands of troops in the four prefectures of Xia and Sui, and all of them are Chinese nationals. Some of the strong backbones of the army are picked out to fill up the Fanbu and defend on the spot, and some are transferred to the Imperial Army in Tokyo for further assimilation. .

There are more than [-] people left, all of whom moved out, nominally transferred, this time they did not move in, but sent to Shanyang.Song Qi took office in Shanyang, and asked Emperor Liu for someone from time to time, and this time he gave him a big gift.

The [-] Soldiers of Difficulty in Difficulty are not simply [-] soldiers, but include their whole family, which is a full [-] households, which is enough to enrich several counties in the border areas.

In this way, after dismantling the Dingnan Army, no matter what other people think, he feels much more at ease.

Of course, Emperor Liu himself had a clue in his heart, things would never be easy, and the party members would not be so obedient and obedient.As long as the possibility of direct rebellion is ruled out, the rule of the Han Dynasty in Xia Sui still needs to go through a lot of tests.

It depends on the abilities of Wang You and Yang Ye.Obviously, the most important test of Yang Ye's pacification of Xia Sui is not his ability to lead the army to fight, but his ability to coordinate relationships and handle mundane affairs. So far, he has done a good job. Yang Ye is a man with a big picture Shuaicai.
