The afternoon sun shines on the floor through the glass window, and the floor reflects the brightness of the hall. Yu Wen Wen stood alone in front of the desk, looking at a map on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

No one convinced each other in his debate with Linghu Xi just now. This is the inevitable result, because their views are very clear and there are sufficient reasons to prove that their views are not wrong.

Linghu Xi’s view of Nanzhong represents the view of the imperial center in this era on Nanzhong, that is, “It’s a pity to eat if you eat it, but it’s a pity to throw it away.”

The importance of Southern Central is not to mention this era, even during the Qin and Han dynasties, the superiors noticed it because this was the land passage from Shu to Jiaozhi (Jiaozhou). For emperors who were interested in expanding their territory, this road must be opened.

The road that spans the south, middle and north actually existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was the path that countless local tribes took when they traveled between north and south. According to legend, in the early days of the Warring States Period, Shu Kingdom sent troops to Nanzhong, followed the Yeyu River to enter Jiaozhou, conquering cities and plundering land.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains were in chaos and the famous Central Plains scholar Xu Jing and Liu Ba who avoided disaster to Jiaozhou set off from Jiaozhou to head north, and took land to Yizhou through Nanzhong. Xu Jing arrived at his destination safely, but Liu Ba was intercepted by officials from Yizhou County and detained for several years.

At that time, Yizhou County was the area around Kunming today.

When Shu Han was destroyed and Jin State was about to attack Eastern Wu, they asked Shu State to surrender generals, the governor of the Southern Central, Huo Yi, to lead the surrendered troops and the army of the Southern Central Daxian to head south and go to Ye Yushui to attack Jiaozhou controlled by Eastern Wu.

The Jiaozhou garrison of the Eastern Wu could not resist it. Emperor Wu urgently dispatched a group of troops stationed in Jingzhou to Hepu through Yulin, and then rushed to Jiaozhi to rescue. Although he defeated the Jin army, he waited for the bad news of the demise of the Wu Kingdom.

Huo Yi's Jin army was a partial army, and he marched into Jiaozhou to mobilize the Wu army in Jingzhou. The main force of the Jin army attacking Jiangdong set off from Shu on a boat, went down the river along the way, passed through Jingzhou, where the troops were empty, broke through the river defense along the way, and went straight outside Shitou City.

This is a successful military use of Yizhou to Jiaozhou Road, which indirectly proves the smoothness of this road and also proves the importance of controlling Nanzhong to stabilizing the situation in Jiaozhou.

Therefore, the court officials had no objection to controlling Nanzhong, and agreed with the establishment of the Nanning Prefecture General Administration, but had differences of opinions on how to control Nanzhong.

They believed that in order to maintain the unobstructed road from Yizhou to Jiaozhou, Zhuti, Wei, Kunming and Butou on the north bank of Yeyushui must be controlled. In order to suppress the Cuan family, Tongle must be controlled. As for the Dongchuan copper mine, it is necessary to station troops to ensure financial resources.

In addition, there is no need to set up economic states in various parts of the South Central China (the imperial court actually controlled the states, including official appointments, household registration management, and rent collection and mediocre adjustments), and set up ban states to make a wish to be appointed as officials.

The Nanning Prefecture General Administration then slowly operated to educate the barbarians, and then supported some barbarians as thugs to suppress the ambitious surnames and Yishen. In this way, the court could control Nanzhong while avoiding too many troops and spending a lot of money and food.

What Yuwen Wen wants is to truly control Nanzhong. Of course, the restricted states must be set up, but the economic and regulatory states must not only garrison troops, but also move the people to settle down, cultivate land on a large scale, and open up land for decades, which directly changes Nanzhong and becomes the dominant Han people.

To truly Chineseize Nanzhong, this is "Shen Nanzhong".

And all signs show that the people and soldiers are not very happy to do so.

Linghu Xi said that the garrison soldiers in the South Central had complaints about "Shi Nanzhong", and the people in Shu were very afraid of "Shi Nanzhong". This is the truth, because Yu Wen Wen learned about the situation through other channels, that's it.

Therefore, the other party used this as a basis to advise him to change his mind. It was not unreasonable. It could be said that he was "pleading for the people" and advised him to "stop his horse".

Yuwen Wen was moved to have such an official who dared to tell the truth, but what he wanted to say was...

You don't understand!

You don’t understand that decades later, among the edicts from Ye Yuze (Erhai Lake), the southernmost edict was the weakest, and thus became the witness of the Central Plains court, becoming a running errand, holding the master’s chicken feather arrow, and pretending to be a tiger’s power.

In the vessel Ye Yuze, hundreds of insects killed each other. This small tribe relied on the "blessing" of the Central Plains court to expand its strength and annex other tribes.

By unifying the imperial edicts, the wings gradually grew, and the Cuan family was defeated and destroyed, and they occupied Nanzhong, becoming a Gu.

At this time, the master found something wrong, so he mobilized a large army to raise an army to question the crime, traveled thousands of miles, and attacked the banks of Yeyu Ze. In the end, the decisive battle was wiped out by the entire army.

The former trot became the master of Nanzhong, strong and hungry, so he sharpened his knife and turned to the pigs and sheep.

He plundered Shu in the north, besieged Chengdu, and returned with a large plunder; he invaded Jiaozhou in the south, captured cities and land, and returned with a full load.

This is the history of the past. The Gu was called Nanzhao. He started his career in Ye Yuze and became a fortune in the early Tang Dynasty. It is only more than thirty years away from now!

You don't understand!

Yuwen Wen really wanted to say this, but he couldn't say it out loud because he couldn't start.

The four words "You don't understand" are the shouts in his heart, and in a trance, he seemed to hear another person's voice.

I opened the Grand Canal for future generations, and my contribution will last forever!

I have attacked Goguryeo three times in order to eliminate hidden dangers and protect the Central Plains from the dangers of Liaodong!

I left Luoyang and hibernated in Jiangdu to make a comeback!

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, facing the bitter advice of his ministers and the soldiers who miss their family, the turmoil in his heart should be summarized as these four words: You don’t understand!

However, the achievements that last for thousands of years have caused the disaster to the present. Yang Guang, who did not care about the people's strength, has put the country in a place of irreparable consequences.

In the end, he forced his family to stay away from Guanzhong to wait for the opportunity in Jiangdu. The consequence was a mutiny. He watched his son be murdered in front of him and hanged himself.

This is the end of doing things that are unwilling to do whatever you want without regard for reality. Yuwen Wen has always taken it as a warning.

So if he ignores advice and insists on "Sinan Central" alone, will it cause trouble?

Will the large-scale migration of people to settle down in Nanzhong cause tragedy in human life because the people are not accommodating, die of illness and starvation?

Will the troops in Shu Palace garrison the Nanzhong force a mutiny and even the situation in Nanzhong deteriorate and cause disaster to the Shu area?

It is possible, and the chance is not low. What Linghu Xi saw and heard in Nanzhong, Shu, and the people's sentiments collected by Yuwen Wen himself all illustrate the voices of a large number of Shu people and ordinary soldiers: We don't want to go to Nanzhong!

This is human nature, Yuwen Wen understands, but who can understand his mood?

He wanted to prevent the separatist forces in Nanzhong from growing stronger in his lifetime, so he did not want to play the "agent war" in Nanzhong, because history has proved that the consequence of doing so was to raise the Nanzhao Gu.

Then the most effective way is to "train" Nanzhong in person.

What about Cuan, Liuzhao, and the great surnames in Nanzhong, all of them kneel down to conquer me!

This was Yuwen Wen's decision, but he did not want to repeat Yang Guang's mistakes, because he did not care about the people's strength and the country was overturned.

What should we do if we can’t have both fish and bear’s paws?

Yuwen Wen made a compromise between ideals and reality, not forcing the people to move, and just let the soldiers from Shu to go to the Nanzhong to regularly garrison, ensure the treatment of the garrison soldiers, ensure that their families reduce rent and transfer, ensure that they can communicate with their families, and then they can go home as soon as time comes, without delay.

All have achieved this. If anyone still doesn't know how to do a mutiny, then he will be killed.

The military existence that guarantees absolute advantage in Nanzhong is next to the popular routine.

Concentrating efforts to develop Dongchuan copper mines gave the imperial court the best source of wealth in the world. They were inseparable from it. They also used salt profit, sugar profit and copper profit to promote China and France, and motivated merchants to recruit people to farm in Nanzhong.

Then, relying on "vibrant religious organizations" (Xuanwu Temple, Bailian Temple), we carry out "faith transformation" in Nanzhong, and relying on "vibrant social organizations" (slave hunting team), we use force to train those tribes that are ungrateful in Nanzhong.

Use trade routes to gather popularity, let the cities along the way prosper, and let the people gradually know the actual situation in Nanzhong.

After 20 years of warming up, 20 years of heating up, and a total of 40 years, Yuwen Wen felt that if he had not yet collapsed, the time would have come.

If you collapse halfway through, your son will continue to do it, if it doesn't work well...
