Chapter 74: Changes in Merging States ([-])
In the first month of the lunar month, after the end of the Mu period, all the officials went to court.
The imperial edict was issued, and all requests from the King of Hejian, General Zhenbei, and the Governor of Beida were accepted.
Not only that, he moved Liu Han to be the governor of Bingzhou and the general of the northern expedition, and promoted all military and political affairs of Bingzhou.
Zhang Yi, the former governor of Bingzhou, was transferred to the governor of Yuzhou, and his troops moved to Yuzhou together. (In the original history, Zhang Yi died in battle, and the governor of Yuzhou was someone else. The author must have made changes here. Readers who are familiar with history should not hesitate.) Not surprisingly, someone must have stood up to oppose it.
Mainly, it's too much power.
Far higher than the power of governors in other states.
Although the governor controls the military and political power of a state, military mobilization has always been an extremely strict and sensitive matter from ancient times to the present. A general who leads an army does not have exclusive authority except in times of war, but the king of Hejian does, because the imperial edict states that the transfer of troops to the state has been transferred to the state. Your Majesty wants to completely hand over Bingzhou to the King of Hejian for all important military and political affairs.
A country within a country!
However, Liu Hong didn't listen. His idea was very simple.
As the central government's control over local governments became weaker and weaker, this time Emperor Liu Hong was very straightforward and directly delegated power to local governments, leaving the provinces to Liu Han's main reason is Liu Han's identity. It is impossible for him to rebel!
Therefore, although Liu Han's power was expanded, it also strengthened the central government's control over the local areas. Of course, the nobles were not willing to do so.
But as the emperor's power grew stronger and King Hejian's military power was in his hands, the two of them were inside and one outside. If the nobles wanted to open up the situation, they had to rebel against the Han.
Liu Hong bet that they wouldn't dare!
(Here we will talk about the military system of the Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty was mainly a conscription system. Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, reformed the military system and changed it from conscription to recruitment. To put it simply, the prevalence of the recruitment system increased the financial burden on the country and caused a group of farmers to be separated from the army for a long time. Land affected agricultural production. The recruits had a serious personal dependence on the generals and gradually evolved into private troops, causing the expansion of local power and becoming one of the important reasons for warlord separatism.
The local armies in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were not formed according to the system, but were established spontaneously under the influence of objective situations. Therefore, they had the following characteristics: (1) The organization was chaotic and there was no unified command. The governor and the county guard had their own troops, and they interacted with each other. They do not belong to each other; (2) the sources of troops and supplies are all raised by the local government, so the number of troops varies depending on local conditions, and the central government is unable to take care of them; (3) the troops under the control of the governor and county governor have gradually become individual teams, and the central government is unable to control. ) # Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, Jinyang.
The New Year always goes by very quickly, and everyone is back to their busy schedule again.
As the imperial edict was conveyed, Liu Han changed his administrative office from Yin Pavilion to Jinyang.
"My nephew congratulates my uncle on his move to the left as governor of Yuzhou."
"Then my uncle must also congratulate his nephew on his promotion to the governor of Bingzhou."
"Hahahahaha!"
The two smiled at each other.
Then the handover began, "Han'er, you have been in Bingzhou for a year, and most of the things in the state are clear. Before leaving, I will tell you one more time.
There are nine counties and 98 counties in Bingzhou. You already know the five counties of Beiyanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang. Let me talk about the remaining four counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Shangjun and Xihe.
Shangdang County (the eldest son of the governor) has jurisdiction over 13 counties, 26222 households, and population: 127403;
Taiyuan County (administered in Jinyang) has jurisdiction over 16 counties, 30902 households, and population: 200124;
Shangjun (governing area) has jurisdiction over 10 counties, 5169 households, and population: 28599;
Xihe County (governed by Lishi) has jurisdiction over 13 counties, 5698 households, and population: 20838.
Here are maps, official lists, and population rosters. "
At this moment, Zhang Yi was like an elder admonishing his juniors. No matter how big or small the issue was, he explained it to Liu Han one by one, "The five counties in the north of Bing are border counties, and the nobles in Bingzhou are few and powerful, but it is different in the south. Last year, you have offended many nobles in Bingzhou." , be careful." "Don't worry, nephew."
Liu Han followed Zhang Yi and listened to his teachings.
"The four southern counties, Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Shangjun are all doing well, but the situation in Xihe County is more complicated, as there are still Southern Huns stationed there."
Liu Han knew this.
The Southern Xiongnu is an unfamiliar wolf.
The war between the Xiongnu and the Han people can be traced back to the pre-Qin period.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Li Mu, the famous general of the Zhao State, dispatched 1300 chariots, 13000 cavalry, 5 infantry, and 10 archers to fight against the Xiongnu, defeating more than [-] Xiongnu horsemen. From then on, the Xiongnu did not dare to invade the south for more than ten years.
During the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor ordered Meng Tian to lead 30 Qin troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, capture Hetao, and station troops in the county. Then he built a city fort along the Yellow River from Yuzhong to Yinshan Mountain, connecting the old Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, and Yan for more than 5000 miles, and meandering to the north according to Yangshan Mountain. , and built the Qinzhi Road from Jiuyuan in the north to Yunyang in the south, forming a long defense line in the north and driving the Xiongnu out of the Hetao area.
After that, there were three major battles: the Battle of Henan, the Battle of Hexi, and the Battle of Mobei. Emperor Wu successfully defeated the Xiongnu.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was famine among the Xiongnu people and animals, and most of them ruling class was once again divided due to the struggle for 48 AD, the eight tribes of the Xiongnu jointly established Rizhu Wangbi, the grandson of Huhanxie Chanyu, as the Chanyu, and fought against the Punu Chanyu. The Xiongnu once again split into two , more than 4 people went south to join the Han Dynasty and professed themselves as Southern Xiongnu. They were settled in the Hetao area of the Han who stayed in Mobei were called Northern Xiongnu.
This is the origin of the Xiongnu in the north and south.
In recent years, the Southern Xiongnu have not been very peaceful and the imperial court has found it difficult to control them. The Southern Xiongnu rebelled many times and joined forces with Xianbei to raid border fortresses and kill officials. During this period, several Southern Shanyus were killed by their subordinates.
Today's Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu is Qiangqu Chanyu. He was originally King Youxian of the Southern Xiongnu. In the autumn and July of the second year of Guanghe (179), the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zhang Xiu captured and beheaded the original Chanyu Huwei (Huyan) without permission. He even made Qiangqu the chanyu, which made the Xiongnu feel at ease.
At this time, Liu Han suddenly thought of the little girl with a tragic fate. If marrying Wei Zhongdao, a short-lived ghost, was the beginning of a tragic fate, she was kidnapped by the Huns cavalry and sent to the Southern Huns. She was remarried to the Huns Zuoxian Wang and gave birth to two sons. , the darkest moment in her life.
"Why do I always think of that little girl? I actually dreamed of her on New Year's Eve. I was so scared that I got up.
However, as the saying goes, 'Those who are not from our race must have different hearts', the Southern Xiongnu must either change their habits of nomadic people and become true Han people; or let them disappear.
By the way, remember the name of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu Bao? It seems that he was the ancestor of the former Zhao Dynasty. He was a Hu man with the surname Liu, and his descendants turned out to be the emperors of Han Dynasty?This can't be kept anymore! "
Liu Han had made up his mind, his eyes showed murderous intent, and the surrounding air also changed subtly, which made Zhang Yi, who was still explaining Xihe County to him, also realized that something was wrong.
"Looking at it like this, the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou doesn't have any favorable impressions of foreigners. If the Southern Huns don't live with their tail between their legs in the future, there's no telling if this little King of Hell will really be able to do such a thing."
He also knew a little about Liu Han's affairs in Bingbei. He built a Jingguan with a capacity of 5000 people and stood outside the Great Wall. He surrendered 3 people and killed another [-] for him.
The Xianbei people and the Southern Huns privately called him "Little King of Hell".
