"China’s history has always been plagued by problems, such as ghosts, Dongyi, Xiongnu, Xianbei, etc., which used to be a threat to the enemies of the Central Plains dynasty! Better than the Han Dynasty, it can drive the Huns away and force them to move westward, but then it is the mobei forces such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, Donghu, etc. But how can we completely eliminate the border problems? "

"Fox Xia is the best strategy."
Ran Min nodded slightly "to continue".
"The second advantage is that it can prevent Xianbei people from sitting in the desert north, and the tribes are generally fragmented like me. It is not terrible, but if it becomes a grassland empire, it will be terrible. In the past, Modu Khan built the Xiongnu Empire, but it was actually a tribal alliance, but it was such a tribal alliance that forced the Han Dynasty to kiss and show kindness and besieged Emperor Gaozu in Baideng Mountain to suppress the Han Dynasty for 70 years!"
"The great emperor can imagine that an autocratic empire is much stronger than a tribal alliance. The Mu people live together with Han people all the year round and are familiar with the Chinese academics, etiquette, tactics, bureaucracy and so on. They can build a powerful grassland empire according to Wei Guomao!"
"When the time comes, I really can’t imagine that wei ren can stop Xianbei fighters? How long can you resist against a Great Wall? Perhaps in your lifetime, Xianbei people will enter the Central Plains by law, but does the successor of the Great Wei Dynasty have this ability? Can Great Wei Guoli always be so strong?
Ran Min motioned for Hou Luo to go on to say that in fact, his heart has been persuaded.
Hou Luole said that these problems are exactly what Ran Min is worried about.
"The third largest emperor can enter the grassland by virtue of Wei’s iron ride!"
Chapter 621 Governance
It’s not my wish that Hou Luogu entered the grassland. "Ran Min insincerely said," In the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains was strong and the grassland was weak, but the Central Plains dynasties in previous dynasties still protected their homeland and intended to expand their territory to the north. Do you know that? "
"The great emperor’s position is poor." Hou Luole laughed. "As far as I know, the Central Plains dynasties in the past dynasties were not without enterprising ambitions to expand the land in the northern part of the desert, nor were they incompetent without this strength. Instead, Yinshan and the northern part of the Great Wall were a wasteland that was not suitable for the growth of crops. People were so unruly that the former Central Plains dynasties such as Qin, Han, Wei and Jin unified the desert."
"I’m glad you know."
Ran Min sighed and said, "It’s not that Da Wei has no ability to acquire these territories, but that he has no ability to govern this vast land. If he wants to govern Fox Xia well, he doesn’t know how much it will cost the empire. Even if I want to be an extension monarch, I am afraid that my subjects will not agree!"
Smell speech Hou Luo Gu Le sink a way: "I believe that if you pay, you will get something. Although the desert north is barren and it is difficult to produce rice and millet grains, it is difficult for wei ren to adapt to it and live there, but you should know that the conference semifinals in Mobei do not get rid of the terminal problems! China has been suffering from hardships since the beginning of history. The Great Wall of Wan Li is to stop the barbarians from moving south, but is it really necessary to be passively beaten like this? "
"What you said is really reasonable, but now the situation is similar to that when Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty unified the country. In the past, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was a strong soldier in the Han Dynasty, Ma Zhuang South Xiongnu also invited him to attack the resurgent North Xiongnu together, but Liu Xiu refused because of the fact that" the country is good and the country is in constant disaster, and the people are terrified and don’t protect themselves. "
Ran Min said faintly, "How much stronger do you think Da Wei can be now than the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time?"
Hou Luo Gu Le sighed, "The great emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the great Wei Dynasty are not the same, and the people in the grassland are eager to end this chaotic situation, but how to end it?" I think one way is to have a unified empire and a high master in the grassland! "
"Xianbei people can’t?"
Looking at Ran Min’s mocking expression, Hou Luole lowered his head and said, "Don’t be joking, the great emperor. Xianbei people like me, such as Gao Che people, Fu Yu people and Koguryo people, all belong to the conference semifinals, and people from all tribes are hostile to each other. Everyone wants to be a grassland overlord, but no one has the strength! As powerful as Xiongnu modu chanyu, as powerful as Xianbei Tanshihuai, Mobei area was unified and became a relatively strong tribal alliance, but the original system collapsed with their death! "
"We prairie people believe in the strong, superstitious force, and whoever is strong will take orders from him. Now that Wei is so strong, why not take the opportunity to enter the grassland?"
Ran Min narrowing her eyes, saying, "Hou Luo Gu Le I am still the same sentence. Although I am an emperor, I can’t be arbitrary. It is not in the actual interests of the empire to send troops to attack Mobei now! I can’t fight alone, and it’s still the people who suffer in the end. "
Throughout the ages, other countries like to expand their territory. Ancient China was not keen on expanding its territory?
The first is cultural reasons. China has always respected Confucianism since the Han Dynasty, and Confucianism has always been the mainstream thought in ancient China.
The core of Confucianism is "benevolence", and Confucius has always advocated that the monarch should "govern the country with benevolence". Only when there are rulers and benevolent people can the whole society follow suit, can the whole society develop harmoniously. Confucianism has always emphasized that "one polarity" means that the imperial center can ensure the emperor’s dominance. If the territory is continuously expanded, it will be difficult to ensure the unified management and it will be chaotic.
Secondly, Confucianism emphasizes "inclusiveness". If no one competes with him for the throne and threatens his position, he is very considerate to treat others and treat some small countries. If they don’t have the rebellious mind to pay tribute and see them on time, then the ruler will not send troops to conquer easily.
Another reason is economic reasons. Ancient China has always been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy. People can return to their own two acres of land at sunset and live a rich life for a generation. Then there is no need to conquer others, especially some remote areas.
Those remote areas are often barren areas, where agricultural products can’t be grown, and economic development is not good. After these areas are included in their own maps, they should also help these poor areas develop their economies and help them become self-reliant. These are very labor-intensive and costly, and rulers of past dynasties generally don’t casually expand their territories.
When I was in Beihai (Lake Baikal), I often heard that others were praising the Great Emperor. The Great Emperor will be a great monarch and a savior sent by the immortal. But I didn’t expect the great emperor to be a mere figurehead! I am really disappointed! "
"Huh?"
Ran Min couldn’t help picking his eyebrows when he saw that this fellow Hou Luo Gu Le was so rude. "Hou Luo Gu Le, are you afraid that I will kill you if you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
"If you want to kill me, Hou Luo will never frown! But it won’t be long before the great emperor is so stupid and afraid of the great Wei Guozuo! "
"Bold!"
Before Ran Min said anything, the interpreter flew into a rage.
Ran Min said with the wave, "You are very courageous and courageous! You’re the first person to dare to talk to me like this since I took this position. I won’t tell you the truth that I do have the King’s Landing Grassland. Don’t wait for me when I’m in Chennai. Do I have to occupy every inch of land? "
"The great emperor’s concern is not such as the problem of governing Mobei. Is this difficult? The great emperor can follow the example of the western regions’ capital protection government and establish a capital protection government in Mobei. Isn’t it good to directly include Mobei in the Great Wei Map? "
To be honest, Hou Luo’s words have been said in Ran Min’s heart. He has long wanted to annex the Mobei Land Department and then establish a capital office. Even in Liaodong and Bohai, a capital office of the Great Wei Empire can be established.
In name only, these places are all imperial territories.
But Ran Min finally did not agree to Hou Luo’s request to let him go back and rest
Then Ran Min called a small court to call Cui Hao, Wang Meng, Qin Mu and Xun Ji into the palace to discuss this matter.
Chapter 622 Don’t need supplies
It’s said that Hou Luo Gu Le asked Wei to send troops to attack the high-powered vehicles together, and that Xianbei Shang ordered Cui Haodang to object immediately.
"Never!" Cui Hao has a tunnel: "Hou Luo’s request is absolutely evil. My great Wei has just destroyed Jin and unified the country’s national strength. At this time, we must not make a fuss to conquer Mobei."
Wang Meng also said, "Lord Bi Cui is right. Ma Pingchuan is good at cavalry galloping on horseback. Xianbei people come and go like the wind, and it is difficult to find a decisive battle. If you want to win this war, the empire must invest huge manpower, force and financial resources because of the loss of the state treasury. What tangible benefits may be gained? The area around Mobei is barren, wheat and rice are difficult to grow there, and there are many Hu people in Mobei. It is very difficult for them to govern Mobei!"
Ran Min is very clear about what Cui Hao and Wang Meng said, but the conclusions drawn from different perspectives are also very different
After Cui Hao and Wang Meng, Xun Ji added, "I can promise Gao Che people to ask the Northern Expedition Xianbei not to expand its territory, but to strike at Yan’s spirit and make it weakened."
"What do you think?" Ran Min light way.
"After the extinction, the Mu family took the opportunity to enter Mobei, which merged many Mobei conference semifinals tribes by wooing and striking. However, in three years, the strength of Yan State has greatly increased. It is conceivable that in a few years, we will be afraid that there will be a strong evil neighbor in the north! I don’t know if you think that today’s Great Wei is more filial to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? "
"The reign of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was not only a long-term battle between Huns, but also broke Fujian and Vietnam, South Vietnam, Wei’s Korea and Dawan, chiseled the western regions and the Silk Road, and opened southwest China. At that time, the prosperous empire of the Han Dynasty was far from it."
Ran Min wanted to think, but still very unwilling to answer the question of Xun Ji.
The Liu Che era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be described as a time when the whole pre-Huaxia was strong. Note that this strength is not only economic strength, but also military strength, but also very strong in all fields!
Zheng Liu Che set up China and North Korea in the central government, consolidated the emperor, set up the secretariat of thirteen prefectures in the local government, strengthened the supervision of princes and local senior officials, and created a procuratorial system to select talents. At the same time, he also adopted the suggestion of Zhu Fuyan to issue a decree of mercy to solve the kingdom’s power and nationalize salt, iron and coins.
Liu Che, Emperor of the Cultural Han Dynasty, adopted Dong Zhongshu’s suggestion to oust a hundred schools of Confucianism and put an end to the situation of "learning from different Taoists and commenting on different schools of thought" since the pre-Qin period.
The military empire of the Han Dynasty spread its national prestige far and wide to the east, and North Korea swallowed hundreds of troops in the south and conquered the Xiongnu in the north, laying a foundation for the Han Dynasty and creating a prosperous situation of the Han Dynasty.
Socio-economic The Silk Road opened by the Han Dynasty had a far-reaching impact on the wheel platform, plowing the fields and other pioneering works, setting up the title of the messenger captain, promulgating the taichu calendar and promoting Imperial College.
Diplomatic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to open the Silk Road, which promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West. This is the first time in the history of China that a large number of silk weaving and metal tools from the Central Plains transported cast iron to the west, and the well drainage method is also of great historical significance to the Western Regions.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made great achievements in various fields, which was caused by the militaristic tactics in the late reign and left a negative impact!
Xun Ji asked again, "Which do you think is stronger or weaker than the Xiongnu when Liaodong and Mobei were integrated to adopt the imperial system?"
"This …" This Ran Min is hard to say.
Xun Ji, on the other hand, said, "The Yan State adopting the imperial system is definitely much stronger than the Xiongnu tribal alliance. The conference semifinals in Mobei are all born knights who dare to fight and warriors who are physically strong and fearless of death. Plus, they were born in such a harsh environment, and it is difficult for a country to be afraid of the empire by itself."
"What Master Xun said is not biased."
Cui Hao shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Xianbei is no better than Xiongnu Mujun, and it is not so easy to control the conference semifinals in the desert."
"But sooner or later, if the empire does nothing, Mobei will be Xianbei people one day! I believe that Master Cui can’t deny this? "
Cui Hao was silent.
Xun Ji went on to say, "I recognized the attack on Mobei to plow and sweep the cave, but I couldn’t directly attack Mobei’s vast territory overnight, and a vast empire law in the desert north effectively governed it;" The cost of the merger of Mobei and Mobei is too great to pay off; The three just can’t be cheap. "
"What Xun Ji said suits me very well."
