sweeping the world

Chapter 351 Set Another Small Goal
After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Linzi will be chosen as the temporary capital.

It was Liu Yan who got one thing wrong before, since Linzi was not Guanggu City, Guanggu City was built when Cao Yi captured Qingzhou and served as the governor of Qingzhou in the sixth year of Jincheng Emperor Xianhe (311 AD).

Guanggu City is actually on the edge of Linzi, but as a city, Linzi has long been abandoned, leaving only some ancient city walls.

It was precisely because Linzi was completely deserted that Liu Yan simply made a mistake and simply abandoned the name of Guanggu City and changed it to Linzi.That's because when the new city was built, the area completely covered Guanggu City and Linzi, but Liu Yan didn't plan to build any city walls for the temporary capital.

There is only one example in history that served as a capital city without building a city wall, and that was Xianyang in the pre-Qin period.

When Qin Xiaogong built Xianyang, he did not build a city wall because he listened to Shang Jun Wei Yang's opinion.It is said that there is Hangu Pass as a barrier in the east, and there is not much threat in the west. In addition, the Qin army is strong and not afraid of the enemy. It can hit the city of Xianyang, and the city wall will restrict development when the capital will be expanded again and again.

Except for the Qin Dynasty that did not build a city wall, there was no such case in the past dynasties. That is because Xianyang, as a country without a city wall, had no danger to defend when Liu Bang's army crushed it. No one would dare to do that again.

Liu Yan’s not building a city wall was widely opposed. It’s not that no one used Liu Bang’s deeds of taking Xianyang lightly, but Liu Yan believed that Linzi was just a temporary capital. .

Building the city wall is actually nothing to Liu Yan who owns a "super farmer", but it is necessary and not necessary are two different things.

"We have been in a state of expansion in the west. First there is Xiamijian City, and then there is the frontier of Fan County. The north is also expanding. The front has reached Bohai County and marched towards Zhangwu County. At worst, there are Yellow River and Jishui. Two barriers. The south has expanded to the Yangtze River, Pengcheng will not be lost, and Linzi will not be at risk."

Having said so much, what Liu Yan wants to express is actually very simple. The Han Dynasty is an offensive country, and it should not be nested after the founding of the country. Wouldn't it become a state of separatism.

There are advantages and disadvantages of nation-building. Many leaders who originally had great ambitions were full of vigor before the nation-building, and even the collective was full of aggressiveness. But after the nation-building, the leaders lost their vigor due to one or another reason, and the collective was also in the nation-building I want to be safe afterwards.

Liu Yan needs to clearly express a point of view. Linzi is only a temporary capital, not a permanent capital. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it does not mean that we will stop. expansion.

In short, the "world" in Liu Yan's eyes is not only "China", but he must take one step at a time, and never allow his subordinates to set their goals too small.

Even if it is a temporary capital, it is still a capital. Seeing Liu Yan's determination not to build a city wall, the civil servants are worried on the one hand, and the generals feel the pressure like a mountain.

"The city wall is not built, but the palace city needs major repairs." Sang Yu said very seriously: "Your Majesty is not satisfied with pleasure, but aspires to greatness. It is our blessing, but the palace city is related to the king's atmosphere. The nations do not underestimate it, but your majesty wants to accept our opinions."

In fact, it's not that Liu Yan doesn't want to enjoy himself, but he feels that it's far from time to enjoy himself.He is only 28 years old this year. There are many people who are not married at the age of 28 in modern times. They are in the golden age of working hard... Well, there are actually many reasons for not getting married when they are around 30 years old. The biggest one is the economy. .In fact, he has a sense of urgency not to wait for me, do more things while he is still energetic, and wait for him to relax when he is older, and he will definitely relax.

Since it is about the king's appearance, Liu Yan has to think carefully.

There is a saying that people strive for a sigh of relief, and the Buddha receives a stick of incense. Sometimes the face really has to be ignored, especially when it is about a country's face project.

It is related to the image of the country. In many cases, even if it is a waste of people and money, there is no way to do it, especially if it has to be seen by other countries.

Spending huge sums of money and looking at the waste of money, but the role played is irreplaceable. The relationship between countries has never been as simple as economics. The king who lives in a magnificent palace looks down on the same status group who can only live in tents. Miyagi is a country and also represents the country's national power.

Of course, you have to have the strength and ability to do things that focus on the national face project, and it also depends on what kind of method is used to do it. In history, it is not uncommon for the country to make people miserable because of the national face project. There is no need to talk about the harm in the present and the benefit in the future. The suffering generation will not be able to bear it in the first place.

"Slaves need to be used to pave roads and build bridges, and it is not feasible to rely on expropriation and payment of corvee." Liu Yan needs to set a tone first, and then tentatively ask: "Can it be divided into several phases, such as the first phase of repairing the meeting hall and entertaining foreign countries?" For the guests, the rest can come slowly.”

Liu Yan only has one concubine now, so he really doesn't need a big palace.In fact, he didn't want any three thousand beauties, and it was almost the same if he had the Sangong Sixth Courtyard.

That point is that Liu Yan really doesn't understand the life of the emperor. The palace is not specially used to pretend to be women. The royal family must have servants. Those eunuchs, maids, palace guards and the like also need a place to live, so the palace is small. Just can't fit it.

Everyone only thought that Liu Yan had great ambitions and didn't want to enjoy himself. They were deeply happy but also felt a little bit depressed. If the king didn't overhaul the palace, it meant that the standard of their mansion was not too high.

"Building a city or repairing a palace is actually a good thing." Liu Yan looked at the surprised group of people and said with a smile: "Because there is a need, it must be purchased..."

Everyone was a little confused. There is nothing wrong with purchasing to build a city, but I have never heard that the king needs to purchase to build a palace!

Since ancient times, the king's palace should have been selflessly contributed by all, that is to say, you can take what you need. It's better to meet a group of fair and strict officials who are in charge of collecting, but if the officials are too fucked up, I don't know how many people will be harmed. .

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Yan was stunned for a moment before he said: "The country is newly established, and all industries are waiting to be flourished. Don't come out with violent extortion."

Seriously speaking, even if Liu Yan and others want to extort violently, it is impossible. The people under their governance are either rescued, or they abandon their families and flee to seek asylum.Such a crowd has nothing but flesh.

By the way, the Han Dynasty did not engage in free equalization of land. After all, the policy is based on the [-]th-rank system, and only after the title rises will they get much land and rewards.The land cultivated by the majority of the people under the rule belongs to the state, and their share after labor is [-]-[-]%, but no matter the seeds, cattle, etc. are all from the state, which means that people who do not have their own land are working for the state in disguise.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Equalization of land can win the gratitude and love of the people, and it can also make the people become property owners.However, free equalization of land is extremely unfair to those who are desperate to develop and other meritorious persons. After all, even if they don't do anything, they will be treated the same way. Who will work hard or make contributions.

There is a saying that "those who have property have perseverance". The country's property owners are the cornerstone of stability, but they must not engage in free acquisitions. Let alone whether they will raise countless lazy people. Only by paying can they be rewarded. It is the way of conservation. It cannot be that there is no gain without giving, and it cannot be that there is no gain after giving.

In fact, Liu Yan had thought about setting up the Fubing system, but unfortunately he couldn't remember exactly what the Fubing system was like, he only remembered some superficial information.

The king can't do things that he doesn't understand, especially when there are no capable officials who can clean up the follow-up, otherwise the disaster will be relatively minor in the present, and it should be too late for future generations to regret.

Liu Yan is quite familiar with a certain doctrine, but he must have had a brain twitch before he dared to apply a certain doctrine in the contemporary era.

After the establishment of the military merit system, it has shown that it is suitable for the Han Dynasty, and there have been successful examples in the pre-Qin period. As long as you don’t want to imitate the little pigs and sell the nobility to ruin it, it should be the most suitable system until the unification of the world.

You can see how easy the conscription of the Han army is. It has always been that conscription is only over-conscripted, and there has never been any difficulty in conscription.

The real situation is that there are not many knowledgeable people, and not many people are willing to bury their heads in the ground, but they are very willing to join the army and risk their lives to fight for a future for themselves and their families.

I am willing to join the army because military exploits are the most valuable. Not only can I get land and servants, but it is also easier to obtain titles than digging soil.That is a hierarchical title, not only related to social status, but if the title is enough, it can be passed on to the heirs.

As a man, life is never just for his own personal struggle, for his wife, heirs, parents, and his family. Let alone the casualty rate of the Han army has always been very low, even if it is high, there will be a large number of people willing to fight .

After the first battle with the Qiang army, it was impossible for Liu Yan to stay on the front line all the time. He left most of the army and only brought the imperial guards back to Changguang County.

Huangdao District in Changguang County is currently one of the most important political districts in the Han Dynasty, all because there is a Hall of Valor there.

In a war that lasted nearly three months, the Han army nearly wiped out the Qiang army. According to statistics, there were 41 prisoners alone, 12 women in urgent need of the Han, [-] old and weak, and the rest were all Young and strong.

Of the 21 young and strong captured, 11 belonged to the Qiang nationality, 12 were from the Jin people, and the remaining [-] were miscellaneous Hus.All the physically disabled among them will be cleaned up. After all, the Han Dynasty does not run welfare centers, and disabled people are useless.The sick captives had to see if they could be saved or what the price would be.

The confiscation of luggage was quite complicated and numerous. Cai You had to calculate the preliminary data for nearly a month, such as 17 horses, 46 cattle, and [-] sheep. Not so good stats.

The unprecedented victory did not come without a price. The number of non-Guard soldiers killed in the Han army reached [-] just one day before Liu Yan's class returned to Xiami, and [-] disabled soldiers. The injuries are countless.The death toll was set as a statistical cut-off date because there were constantly serious wounded numbers dying.

The number of Imperial Guards killed in this battle was a bit terrifying. The cavalry alone lost nearly [-] soldiers, and the remaining infantry combined should exceed [-].

The total number of dead soldiers of the Han army is temporarily fixed at 16. Although the Imperial Guards have borne nearly [-]% of the losses, the losses are really a bit large.

The number of heads captured by the Han army can be as many as 15, and the number of enemy soldiers who have not been counted should be about 41. Combined with the 60 captives, the number of Yao Yizhong's subordinates definitely approached [-] at one time. quantity.

Yao Yizhong bringing 60 people may seem like an exaggeration, but it is not.

The Hu people brought their families with them when they went to war. For example, a soldier who participated in the war was very likely to bring his father, mother, wife, and children. Then it would result in 10 soldiers, but the actual number of soldiers was only [-] to [-].But it must also be explained that the old men, women and children of the Hu people did not appear to be kind at all when they fought against the wind, and it was common for women and children to fight in battle.

The more than 15 heads captured by the Han army were not all young and strong men. The elderly, women, children, and young people accounted for about [-] of them. The Han soldiers were not the heads that were killed, they were all in the fighting field gain.

Liu Yan returned to Xiami, he will not stay here for long, he needs to transfer to District 1 of Huang 1 Island to personally preside over the memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers.

About the time Liu Yan arrived in Xiami, news about the final outcome of the battle between the Han army and the Qiang army spread throughout the world.

The first to get the news was the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting. After all, Yu Yi was on the side of the Han army. Except for the first battle in Luoyin, he did not witness it with his own eyes. The battle is followed and observed all the way.He wrote a long letter to his brother Yu Bing, and Yu Bing selectively picked out some to report to the court.

Even if Yu Bing only picks out some things that he thinks he can say, the shock to the south of the Yangtze River is far greater than imagined.

Ji Chang had asked to marry a princess from the Sima royal family before, but at that time the Sima family refused without even thinking about it. Knowing the result of Liu Yan's battle with Yao Yizhong, the Sima royal family began to consider whether to marry a real princess.

The family and the family were still hesitating whether to send their family members to serve Liu Yan, but in the end they didn't even have to hesitate. For a while, there were frequent boats and boats on the Yangtze River, all rushing to Jiangdu, the most important business place of the Han Dynasty on the Yangtze River.

Ji Chang, who was far away in Jizhou as a long-term adviser, knew that his side would win, but he was still excited when he heard the news.

"Finally, we have really gained a firm foothold." Ji Chang was talking about the profound impact of this war on foreign countries and on the country. He smiled and said to Lu Tai who was also excited: "Who are the people sent to the Cui family in Leling?" What message came back?"

Don't forget, when Liu Yan only had one county, Changguang, Ji Changke stared at the Cui family eagerly, hoping that the Cui family could marry a prostitute daughter to Liu Yan...
