Chapter 2527 Sixteen State of China
Chapter 2524: Sixteen State of China
Yongzhou, Chang''an.
"Report to Your Majesty, after Ji Chang defeated Yang Su for a while, he immediately started negotiations with the Sui State and took the initiative to surrender to the Sui State on the condition of retaining military power.
Yang Guang was afraid of the combat power of the Zhou army and wanted to occupy Qiang land at the lowest price, so he accepted Ji Chang''s surrender and appointed Ji Chang as the governor of Yizhou County. "Tian Yanhui reported.
“Yizhou County?”
After hearing this place name, Ying Hao was stunned. Obviously, he didn''t know which county this Yizhou was.
"When did the Sui State have more Yizhou County?"
Ying Hao asked in a little puzzled manner. After all, the Sui Dynasty belongs to the five counties of Liangzhou and the seven counties of Qiang, but none of them do not have this Yizhou county. So where did this county come from?
"Yizhou County was in the Western Regions. When the Sui State expeditioned the West last time, Yang Su Lian destroyed the nine countries in the Western Regions. Based on these nine countries, Yang Guang established Tianshan County, Yizhou County and Gaochang County, a total of three counties."
Ying Hao suddenly said, "So that''s it. It seems that Yang Guang has done a pretty good job in the Western Regions."
Among the Central Plains, the Sui Kingdom was indeed not ranked, but it was naturally extremely easy to bully the backward Western Regions.
Even if the 36 countries in the Western Regions joined forces and dispatched several times the troops that were the Sui State, they were still no match for the Sui State, and even destroyed the Nine Kingdoms.
If it weren''t for the help of Ji Xiaolan and Wang Ben, the first Western Expedition of the Sui Kingdom might have destroyed nearly half of the Western Regions.
The 25 countries in the Western Regions that are currently remaining have been completely scared by the Sui Kingdom and have to unite to fight against the Sui army.
There are also seven countries who voluntarily become vassal states of the Qin Dynasty and take the initiative to pay tribute to the Qin Dynasty.
And this is mainly due to the Sui State. If the Sui army had not forced these seven countries into a hurry, how could they have turned against the Qin Dynasty?
In response, the Qin Dynasty almost paid no price. It only sent more than a hundred people including Ji Xiaolan and Wang Ben to unite the countries of the Western Regions, but by chance, it obtained seven vassal states.
After clarifying the new territory of the Sui Kingdom in the Western Regions, Ying Hao pointed to the map and smiled: "It seems that Yang Guang doesn''t trust Ji Chang either.
The Sui State had five counties in Liangzhou and seven counties in Qiang territory. None of them were granted a total of twelve counties, but only Ji Chang was granted the title of the governor of Yizhou County.
Yang Guang''s move was just to transfer Ji Chang away from the Qiang territory so as to completely take over the seven counties of the Qiang territory. ”
Gongsun Xuanyuan let Ji Chang retreat to Qiang land in order to make both Zhou and Sui fallen into defeat, but this purpose was only achieved part of it.
Ji Chang defeated Yang Su in one game, killed 10,000 Sui troops, and lost 9,000 to himself, but immediately took the victory and surrendered to the Sui Kingdom.
Now the Sui Kingdom has no restrictions in Guanxi, so it will naturally compete with the Qin Dynasty for the hegemony of Liangzhou.
"Your Majesty, the Sui Kingdom has completely occupied the Qiang territory and established it as Haizhou, with seven counties under its jurisdiction, namely: Xining County, Haidong County, Haibei County, Hainan County, Huangnan County, Guoluo County, and Yushu County;" Tian Yan said.
The seven counties in the Qiang area before were now Haizhou, which is the boundary of Qinghai Province in later generations.
More than four-fifths of Qinghai are plateaus, with an overall terrain high in the west and low in the east, and a low in the north and south. The western altitude is high and steep, tilting to the east, and descending in a ladder shape.
Qinghai is mountainous in the eastern part, and the western part is a plateau and basin. It has three topographical landforms: the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the inland arid basin and the Loess Plateau. It has a continental climate on the plateau, and spans five major water systems: the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Lancang River, the Heihe River and the Datong River.
As for why Yang Guang named the name "Haizhou"? In fact, it is because of Qinghai Lake.
Just from the fact that all three of the seven counties in Haizhou have the word "hai", we can see that Haizhou is suitable for survival, and nearly a hundred of them are around Qinghai Lake.
This shows that Qinghai Lake has an influence in the local area and is not called this name at present.
The locals call Qinghai Lake Xihai Lake, so Yang Guang took the name "Haizhou".
The local residents of Haizhou are not only Qiang people, but also other races such as Di and Ba. However, the Qiang people are the most powerful and have the largest number.
The Qiang, Di, Ba and other tribes are also the root cause of cholera Guanxi.
In order to pacify the Qiang tribe, the Han Dynasty had to do its best, but basically every time they returned to victory, all the Qiang tribes would surrender and rebel again, and the Han Dynasty had to work hard to expedition.
Over time, most of the Han Dynasty''s national strength was consumed in suppressing the rebellion in the northwest, but it became useless. This also formed a vicious cycle, and the national strength naturally became weaker and weaker, and eventually collapsed completely.
The Han Dynasty destroyed the country, and the foreign races in the northwest made an absolute contribution.
Before Dong Zhuo''s rise, the foreign race in the northwest was a problem that the Han could not solve. Until after Dong Zhuo''s rise, several major battles were fought, and the Qiang land could hardly raise its head, which forced the Qiang land to bow to the emperor.
After Dong Zhuo died, the Qiang people thought they could live a good life for a few days, but they didn''t expect that Li Shimin and Yang Guang had more ruthless methods than Dong Zhuo, so they directly occupied the Qiang territory and prepared to let the Qiang people die.
It is naturally not that easy to assimilate a race.
In addition to leaving troops to the Qiang area and setting up seven new counties, the Sui and Tang dynasties also moved Han people into the Qiang area and implemented a Chinese rule over the Qiang area.
At the beginning, the Qiang people in the Qiang area did not agree with the rule of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Almost every month the Qiang people revolted to oppose the rule of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
But the garrisons of the Sui and Tang dynasties were not decorations, and all the Qiang people who dared to revolt were slaughtered by the army of the two countries.
All those who oppose them are killed, and the rest will naturally become obedient people.
Over the years, the Qiang and Han people in Xizhou lived in mixed places and intermarried with each other, but they had initially completed national integration. They basically did not dare to rebel and agreed with the rule of the Han people.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and the Sui Dynasty completely occupied the Qiang territory, and the prefecture was established and the Qiang territory was changed to Haizhou, so that this territory completely belonged to the Han people.
From this point of view, although the separatist rule of the Sui and Tang dynasties was the root of turmoil, it was definitely a great achievement for the Han people to open up borders and allow the Han people to gain another state.
You should know that after the troubled times began, the major princes were constantly fighting, and only the five kingdoms of Qin, Wu, Chu, Sui and Tang dynasties were opening up. Although the Qin Dynasty took back Hetao from the Huns and established three new counties, there were only three counties after all. Although the regional level was state level, the regional scope was not yet state level.
As for Yingzhou, although the Qin Dynasty occupied the most elite area, it did not occupy it all.
The chassis occupied by the four countries of Wei, Song, Wu and Ming in Japan is larger than that of Qin.
So, when the Qin Dynasty completely occupied Japan and initially assimilated the Japanese, this can be considered as opening up a state.
Although the Wu State developed the Yizhou Island, Yizhou was too small after all, even if it was developed, it could not be considered a state.
As for the State of Chu, although he had the opportunity to expand his territory, he only plundered supplies after sending troops to Annan, but did not manage them and left after fighting.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were also like Chu. Although they occupied a lot of land in Japan, they only knew how to claim and did not manage them at all, so they naturally could not be considered as expanding territory.
So far, the power to expand territory and govern the territory has been truly carried out, and the power to expand territory is only Sui State.
Of course, this great achievement was accomplished by the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the fruit of victory was eaten by the Sui Kingdom.
[Dingdong, Yang Guang established ‘Haizhou’ to achieve the achievement ‘Tuanyizhou’, with rewards: five-dimensional permanent +1, charm +9, and the population growth rate of the region doubles within one year;
Yang Guang: Commander 98 (+8), force 77 (-8), intelligence 93 (+3), politics 98 (+8), charm 87 (-8)
Current Yang Guang Wuwei: Commander 99 (+9), Force 78 (-7), Intelligence 94 (+4), Politics 99 (+9), Charm 97 (+2)]
After receiving the system prompt, Ying Hao felt aroused and said, "Sure enough, there are also achievements in expanding territory."
"Tao Jia, how are you dealing with the two newly established counties in Hetao?" Ying Hao asked.
Just when everyone thought that Ying Hao was going to further discuss the matters of the Sui State, he did not expect that Ying Hao suddenly shifted the topic to Hetao.
Jia Xu was stunned, but he still reported truthfully: "Report to Your Majesty, the governor of Hetao Wen Tianxiang has already selected the city construction address in the east and west areas of Hetao, and has built three new counties and twenty-four counties in the past two years, namely: Wuzhong County, Guyuan County and Zhongwei County."
The plan to increase counties and counties in Hetao has already begun to be prepared in Daqin.
After all, Hetao only has three counties, but it has a population of more than three million, with an average population of more than one million per county.
Hetao, which is clearly located in the north, should be vast and sparsely populated, but now the population density is almost larger than that of the Central Plains.
A large population is shrinking into the three counties. If this continues, it will not be conducive to the development of other land in Hetao, nor will it be conducive to the increase in population.
Therefore, only by adding new counties and building new cities can the Hetao Plain be further developed.
The matter of adding Hetao County was prepared long before the Qin Dynasty''s cultivation and restoration. After two years of major construction and population migration, Hetao added three new counties and twenty-four places.
Among them: Wuzhong County has eight counties, with its capital in Wuzhong City;
Guyuan County has a total of seven counties, with a capital of Guyuan City;
Zhongwei County has a total of seven counties, with a capital of Zhongwei City.
At present, the construction of the new city has long been completed, and only the population migration has not been completed.
Although Wen Tianxiang has moved nearly 100,000 people to the newly established three counties, he still cannot effectively develop the land. At least 200,000 people will be relocated.
After adding three new counties, although the total population and land area of ??Hetao have not changed, the population growth rate and land development rate have greatly increased, and the total grain production is nearly half higher than before.
This is the benefit of adding counties and refining administrative regions.
Ying Hao glanced at the ministers below and saw everyone''s confusion. He said, "Yang Guang set up ''Haizhou'' in Qiang land to add a new state to our China. This is really a feat.
I do not want the Sui State to be beautiful, so I decided to set Hetao as ‘Hezhou’ with the six counties under Hetao.
In addition, Shuofang County of Bingzhou and Beidi County of Liangzhou will also be under the jurisdiction of Hezhou in the future;”
Most of the areas of Shuofang County belong to the Hetao Plain and are under the jurisdiction of Hezhou, which is completely reasonable.
As for the Beidi County, except for the southern part that belongs to Gansu, most of the northern part also belongs to the Hetao Plain.
Therefore, Ying Hao''s transfer of Shuofang County and Beidi County to Hezhou is fully in line with the administrative plan.
Seeing that all the ministers were confused, Ying Hao had no intention of stopping at all and continued to say to himself: "In the future, Hezhou will be under the jurisdiction of the eight counties: Ningxia, Yinchuan, Yinshan, Wuzhong, Guyuan, Zhongwei, Shuofang and Beidi;
The governor of Hezhou will continue to be the former governor of Hetao Wen Tianxiang;
The Hezhou Grand Governor also continued to be the former Hetao Grand Governor Huo Bing. ”
When the ministers heard this, they realized that His Majesty the Emperor had planned it for a long time. This was not just a discussion with them, but just notifying them.
But who made Ying Hao the founding emperor?
As the founding emperor, Ying Hao has no prestige and no one dares to object to any decision he makes as long as it is not particularly outrageous.
[Dingdong, Ying Hao set up ‘Hezhou’ to achieve the achievement ‘Tuanyizhou’, with rewards: five-dimensional permanent +1, charm +9, the population growth rate of the region doubles within one year;
Current Qin Hao: Commander 101, Force 107, Intelligence 100, Politics 102, Charm 108;
Since the host''s five-dimensional amplification range is full, it is impossible to increase attributes by rewarded attribute points, so the reward attribute points will be changed to free attribute points;
The current host has: 1 random attribute point, 1 command attribute point, 2 force attribute point, 2 intelligence attribute point, 2 political attribute point, 2 charm attribute point, 11 charm attribute point;]
After receiving the system prompt, Ying Hao was stunned. He never expected that the system reward would come so quickly.
“If we add the newly established three states of He, Hai and Ying, China already has sixteen states.
This is not the end. After the seven countries in the Central Plains are wiped out and completely unified, it will be time to attack Manqin, Yuan Meng, and Wang Mang.
The territory of these three companies can still be established in four states. By then, China will have twenty states, and its territory will be far beyond that of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. I and my beloved ministers will achieve unprecedented achievements. ”
Ying Hao imagined the future with excitement, while the ministers cheered in unison: "Your Majesty, and the Great Qin Dynasty,"
