Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Incorporating Dali into the rule of the Song Dynasty?"

As soon as Zeng Bu said this, all the Song generals were silent.

They are all soldiers. It's okay to let them lead troops and fight. If they are allowed to govern the place, it will be difficult for them. However, they conquered Dali personally and are the most familiar with the place. They also have the right to put forward opinions for thousands of miles away. The reference of all officials in the court.

Zhong Pu said confidently: "In the future, if you want to completely integrate Dali into the Song Dynasty, it is better to follow the Tubo policy and equally distribute the land and property of each tribe to the southwestern barbarians. This will be enough to make Dali return to the heart like Tubo."

Zeng Bu moved slightly. Now that Tubo has adopted the policy of liberating the serfs, most of the serfs have returned to the Song Dynasty. After the departure of the Western Route Army, Tubo is peaceful. Moreover, the food and grass for the West Route Army along the way are supplied by Tubo. This policy is a great contribution. .

"Dali is different from Tubo. The status of serfs in Tubo is extremely low and life is extremely difficult. The Song Dynasty liberated the serfs and gave them food and clothing, so they can be grateful to the Song Dynasty, not to mention the help of Tubo Buddhists, and finally let Tubo completely return to his heart. But this is not the case in Dali. Its climate is warm and humid, the forests are continuous, and the products are rich. Even ordinary people can survive in the forests. The life of the people of all ethnic groups in the southwest is not difficult. The Song Dynasty implemented the policy of liberating the serfs. I am afraid that it will be half the result with twice the effort. We cannot let the people of Dali return home." Zeng Bu finally rejected the proposal.

First of all, the situation in Dali is different from that of Tubo. Dali has a warm climate and complex terrain, and all tribes are hidden in caves in the forest. If the strategy of liberating the serfs is used, the tribes in the southwest will definitely resist, hide in the forest, and harass the Song army everywhere. , causing the originally peaceful Dali to stir up trouble again, was not conducive to the Song Dynasty's rule over Dali at all.

Not to mention that it was Fan Zheng's plan to liberate the serfs, so Zeng Bu was naturally unwilling to let Fan Zheng take credit again.

"What does Fan Taicheng think?" Zeng Bu asked Fan Zheng.

However, to Zeng Bu's surprise, Fan Zheng actually cooperated and said: "What the Privy Councilor said is true. Doctors pay attention to one person's treatment. Dali and Tubo have different forms. Naturally, we cannot use the same medical prescription and use Tubo methods to treat Dali." , although it can be successful, it will achieve half the result with twice the effort, which is the worst policy."

Seeing Fan Zheng being so cooperative and even saying that the strategy of liberating the serfs was a bad idea in Dali, Zeng Bu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zeng Bu then said proudly: "In my opinion, the entire population of Dali has suffered heavy losses due to the burning, killing and looting in the southwest. However, Dali has a suitable climate and is a good treasure land. It is not as good as the large number of Song Dynasty people who immigrated to Dali." land, and then let the imperial court send floating officials to govern various places in Dali. In this way, it can not only solve the problem of redundant officials in the court, but also completely integrate Dali into the rule of the Song Dynasty."

Zeng Bu also had a keen eye. The products in Dali were too rich. Even if the serfs were liberated in Dali, it would only benefit all ethnic groups in Dali. It would be better to give the benefits to the people of the Song Dynasty, as long as the Song people accounted for the majority in Dali. , the officials sent by the Song Dynasty will naturally turn their hearts to the Song Dynasty, and this land will definitely return its heart to the Song Dynasty.

A group of Song generals complimented him: "Your Majesty the Privy Council is wise, this is a good strategy."

Zeng Bu said quite proudly: "I got it by chance. How to implement it requires the approval of the imperial court. However, Fan Taicheng has always been known as an evil doctor. How about diagnosing my prescription?"

Zeng Bu felt proud, how could he not know that Fan Zheng used various parts of the southwest to commit a large number of killings in the southwest, creating a large blank area in order to lay the foundation for the future immigration of Song people. Now he is the first to propose this strategy , just in time to make a wedding dress for him.

Fan Zheng frowned when he heard this, and said calmly: "Privy Councilor Miao Zan, I immigrated to the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court sent floating officials to govern Dali. This can not only ensure that Dali returns to its heart, but also avoid another unrest in Dali. This is the best policy."

"The best idea!"

Zeng Bu couldn't help but feel proud when he heard Fan Zheng say it was the best policy.

He has always known that Fan Zheng likes to use the upper, middle and lower strategies when making prescriptions. Although all three strategies are feasible, the top strategy is the best choice.

Zeng Bu further pressed him and said, "Fan Taicheng must not be humble. Now General Zhong and I have proposed strategies for governing the country. Fan Taicheng is leading the Western Route Army. If he does not propose strategies for governing the country, it would be unjustifiable!"

Naturally, Zeng Bu would not let Fan Zheng go so easily. He thought that he had figured out Fan Zheng's evil plan and took it for himself in advance. Now he was leaving Fan Zheng in a hurry to come up with a strategy to report to the court. It will be eclipsed, and this time, he will finally win a round.

Fan Zheng took retreat as the way forward: "With the advice of the Privy Councilor, the subordinate officials will not do whatever they want."

Zeng Bu shook his head and said: "Everyone in the world doesn't know that Fan Taicheng's evil method is indestructible. This time he attacked Dali, he used the two miraculous tactics of the government. I admire him endlessly. If there is an evil method, he can defeat it once and for all. Although Dao Lai, I will send them all back to Kaifeng for the officials to make a decision."

Today, Zeng Bu is determined to get Fan Zheng to come forward again. He thinks he has found the best way to govern Dali. No matter where Fan Zheng comes from, he can only become his foil.

Fan Zheng frowned and said helplessly: "When Xiaguan came all the way east, he found that both the southwestern barbarians and the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan all live in the forest. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the southwest. The so-called land It is extremely difficult for the imperial court to dispatch officials to govern the country without three miles of flat land or three days of clear sky. From Fan's point of view, it is better to let the imperial court appoint the leaders of each tribe as chieftains based on the situation that there are many tribes in the southwest and each tribe is scattered. , taking charge of their tribesmen will definitely bring all the tribes in the southwest back home, stabilize Dali and even the entire southwest, and provide soldiers for the future attack on Bagan and the opening of the Western Ocean."

"Confer the title of chieftain to the chiefs of each tribe and make them hereditary for generations to come?"

As soon as Fan Zheng came up with this strategy, he immediately attracted the attention of many Song generals.

A chieftain is a native official, or in simpler terms, a native emperor.

You must know that whether it is Zhongpu's bad policy or Zeng Bu's best policy, they can solve Dali once and for all and make Dali completely return to his heart. Fan Zheng proposed to make the chiefs of each tribe a chieftain and let them be hereditary for generations. Doesn't it mean that the autonomy of each tribe in the southwest is preserved? It is like installing independent kingdoms in the Song Dynasty. Even if any one of them becomes big in the future, or when the court becomes weak, it will definitely betray the Song Dynasty.

When Zeng Bu heard Fan Zheng's method, he was immediately relieved instead of worried. He laughed in public and said, "Although Fan Taicheng's method is not well thought out, it is still a good way to stabilize the southwest. It should be the middle strategy!"

"Zhongce?"

Zhong Pu's mouth twitched when he heard this. This is not the best strategy, not even his worst strategy. If this method is implemented, it is destined to make the southwestern tribes unable to lose, and can only leave a lot of trouble for future generations. It is better to take this opportunity to get rid of it once and for all. , completely solve the shortcomings of Southwest China.

Zhong Pu didn't understand why the evil doctor Fan Zheng, who could come up with a strategy to liberate the Tibetan serfs, came up with such a flawed strategy. However, Zeng Bu, who could not hide the joy at the corner of his mouth as he glanced at it with his peripheral vision, suddenly fell into deep thought. .

"The official level crushes people to death. Even the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng may not be able to avoid it."

"Fan Taicheng is hiding his clumsiness! Maybe he knew that his method would be abandoned, so he said this on purpose!"

Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong looked at each other and then avoided them.

Now that the three armies are converging, Zeng Bu, the privy envoy, has the highest official position and holds great power. Even the evil doctor Fan Zheng has been robbed of good advice by Zeng Bu and can only swallow his anger. However, they are generals who have been suppressed by civil servants and can only remain silent.
