Han Shizu

Chapter 1907 Rao Leguo

King Rao Le, of course, is the fourteenth prince Liu Xin. His jurisdiction includes the northern part of Yanshan North Road and the east, west and north of An’an. Arriving in Daxing'an Mountains, the east is divided from the Na River (Nen River) on the edge of Andong.

Obviously, this is another nail for Emperor Liu to wedge himself into Mobei and control the northern grasslands. In his private conversation with Liu Xin, Emperor Liu also made it very clear that the value of the existence of Rao Le Kingdom lies in suppressing Mobei Khitan and other states. Department of Wei.

Since the elimination of the Hanchen forces headed by Erhan, the internal contradictions of Mobei Khitan have been greatly eased, and the cohesion has also been greatly enhanced.Yelu Longxu got the imperial seal from Emperor Liu, and the relationship between the two countries gradually eased. With the opening of border markets and trade exchanges, life in Mobei Khitan has been much easier these years.

In the west, it strongly blocked the rising Naiman Alliance's eastward invasion, and even formed a tendency to push back the Naiman people back to Jinshan and recover the Northwest Road area of ​​Liaoyuan.In the east, not only repelled the invasion of the Shiwei tribes in Xing'an Mountains, but also conquered some Shiwei tribes through continuous wars, and gained a lot of people and livestock.

Over the years, while the Khitan has continuously strengthened the nature of the grassland regime and returned to the original, its status as the overlord of Mobei has also been re-established.As the Khitan people had a better life, Emperor Liu might not be so happy in his heart, he was habitually looking for something to do.

Therefore, Rao Leguo appeared at the right time. When the result was announced, Liu Xin was quite surprised, but Anton Wang Liu Xu was not in a good mood.Emperor Liu cut off Yanshan North Road and entrusted it to Liu Xin. He had no objection, but at the same time he also cut off the flesh from Anton, which was not acceptable to him.

The territory that Emperor Liu drew from Anton was mainly in the Nahe Plain, which was one of the main grain-producing areas under Anton's rule.Although the Na River Basin was captured by the Han army during the Northern Expedition, the subsequent consolidation, development, and security were all developed bit by bit after Liu Xu took office.

It took a full 15 years to change the blood of the local area, and the influence of the Khitan and Shiwei people was basically cleared up. They moved in to the Han people, cultivated land, and researched and cultivated cold-resistant rice seeds. The area around the river is also known as Andong's granary.

When the harvest was about to usher in, Emperor Liu cut the flesh to help the poor.Starting from the relationship between brothers, it seems to be a matter of course to show Dan Dang as the eldest brother and support the younger brother.After all, if it is just a Wugu region, it would be too shabby for the new Raole Kingdom. After all, it is close to Shiwei in Mobei Khitan and Xing'an Mountains. Only a small number of guards and sporadic officials maintain a weak rule that is only in name.

However, in the face of real interests, brotherhood is worthless.What's more, is there any close relationship between Liu Xu and Liu Xin?The age of the two has already formed a generation gap.

And when he thinks of the results of his painstaking efforts for more than ten years, he has laid another important foundation for Anton, and he has to share it with others, Liu Xu's dissatisfaction can be imagined.

In recent years, most of the Han people who migrated to Andong were arranged on the Songnen Plain, and the Nahe Plain was also a major receiving place, with more than [-] Han people there.

Xingguo was also built by Liu Xu's painstaking efforts. When it was in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, it was just a small settlement, without even roads and walls, let alone various supporting facilities.

Today, Xingguo City is already one of the top three cities under Anton's rule, with a permanent population of more than 3000. Every brick and tile is devoted to Liu Xu's painstaking efforts. In addition to economic population, it is still in the upper reaches of the black water. , being assigned to Rao Le Country, doesn't it mean that even the interests of the Black Water Basin must be shared with it?

If the old man feels that Wugu and the surrounding areas cannot do anything, why not be more generous, even if he has no objection to giving Linhuang Mansion to Liu Xin, he just wants to talk to his Anton.After so many years of painstaking efforts, his hair became white, his body was exhausted, and he saved up this little fortune just now, Liu Xu couldn't do it easily...

However, even if Liu Xu was full of resentment and unwillingness to directly object, he would not dare, because not everything can be bargained with Emperor Liu.As for the feudalism of Rao Le Kingdom, there is still a force in the court that is promoting it, and that is the prince and his supporters.

No matter what Emperor Liu's original intention of establishing the feudal Rao Le Kingdom was, in their view, this was an opportunity to weaken Anton's strength, and also an opportunity to check and balance Anton.Some fears and prejudices are innate, or maybe it is because the word "great talent is hard to control" is too classic, the people around the prince have always been wary of Liu Xu, and it has never faded.

In the past, he was worried that Liu Xu would compete for the heir apparent, and the identity of the eldest son of the emperor would have a market everywhere. Later, Liu Xu was unexpectedly "relegated" to Anton, which made people feel a little more at ease.However, with Liu Xu's management in Anton, his reputation has gradually increased, his strength has continued to increase, and he has been more and more praised and recognized by Emperor Liu. The threat is still not small.

This time, the conclusion of enfeoffment can be reassured, because this has basically completely cut off Liu Xu's thoughts and possibilities, but the suspicion and grudges of more than ten years are not so easy to let go, and suppression has become a habitual action , especially in the case of following Emperor Liu's will, there is more room for manipulation.

Therefore, in addition to the strong support of Emperor Liu, the head of the family, the establishment of Rao Le Kingdom was also secretly promoted by the prince Liu Yang's group. When the two forces work together, there is not much that cannot be done in this world.

Unlike Liu Xu, the relationship between Liu Yang and Liu Xin has always been good. Liu Xin, who has fallen out of favor with his mother, also takes good care of him. It can be described as an elder brother like a father, and Liu Xin has always respected Liu Yang. add.In this way, facing the sea in the east, Rao Le in the west, and Liaodong in the south, even if Anton dares to plot evil in the future, it will be difficult to cause any big waves. This is the thoughtful preparation of the prince's loyal ministers.

The original intention of Emperor Liu to set up feudal states like Anton and Raole was to consolidate the border areas, suppress the local fishing and hunting peoples, and at the same time reduce the burden on the central court through decentralization and contraction.However, from the very beginning, the route he envisioned has begun to deviate...

And Liu Xu obviously also felt the unusual pressure. With his temperament, he naturally would not complain to Emperor Liu, but chose to accept it silently.The only requirement is that the people under the rule of Anton who lived on Rao Le Kingdom’s land were assigned to move away, but this was directly rejected by Emperor Liu, who made you move away, so Liu Xin took the empty city and wasteland What is the use.

However, Emperor Liu was not mean to Liu Xu after all. He compensated 100 million yuan and a population of 5. In this way, it played a soothing effect just now.

However, for Liu Xu, the result of this enfeoffment is obviously not so ideal. In terms of real benefits, it is not as good as the system of the Anton Governor's Mansion.Of course, as a king, the power he enjoys is also different. In the future, he can basically get rid of most of the restrictions from the court, even if it is only in name...
