Chapter 55 Fur
In the southern suburbs of Dianchong City, on a mound called "Wen Gonglei", Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang was walking his birds. In the golden bird cage was a white parrot. This parrot was produced in Linyi. It is snow-white all over and has a unique appearance, which is very different from the Central Plains parrot.
The parrots in Linyi Kingdom are "special products". When they presented square objects to the Central Plains courts, most of them had Linyi parrots. The parrot in Yuwen Wen's hand was very smart and had learned the saying "peace in the world".
As the capital of Linyi, Dian Chong naturally has many good things. Yuwen Wen would not forget to leave the big head to the superiors, so as not to take the opportunity to cause trouble in the future. Since we have to welcome the superiors, there will be auspiciousness.
The Zhou Dynasty was about to unify the Central Plains. The Linyi white parrot, who would say "peace in the world", was a perfect auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious auspicious a
After counting on his fingers, the Zhou army should have taken over Jiankang, the Chen State destroyed the Central Plains and unification, and the hundreds of years of confrontation between the north and the south will end this year. Can the troubled times end here? Yuwen Wen dare not be optimistic.
Prime Minister Yuchi, whose reputation reached its peak, was probably not far from receiving Jiuxie. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, receiving Jiuxie was a prelude to the change of dynasties, so there was not much time left for Yuwen Wen.
He handed the bird cage to the bird keeper, stroked his cloak, looked at Dianchong City to the north, and then looked at the scenery around his place.
Wen Gonglei, this place name has a strong cultural atmosphere in the Central Plains, and of course it has a certain origin. About two hundred years ago, Wen Fangzhi, the governor of Jiaozhou of Jin State (Eastern Jin Dynasty), led his troops to attack Linyi State and attacked the city of Dianchong.
At that time, Dianchong City was not as large as it was later. Linyi's army occupied the city and the Jin army was at the end of its strength. The King of Linyi sent people to seek peace. The commander Wen Fangzhi went down to the side and accepted the surrender letter submitted by Linyi's envoy in the Jin army camp outside the south suburbs of the city, and then retreated.
Of course, this is a temporary measure for both sides, and the mound where the Jin army camped was called "Wen Gongluo". More than two hundred years later, another "Wen" stood here, sighing that time flew away, and the Central Plains court still could not pacify the Linyi Kingdom.
The Jin army, which was at the city more than two hundred years ago, withdrew, and the Song army, which had captured Dian Chong more than one hundred years ago, withdrew. Now the Zhou army, which had captured Dian Chong, had to retreat, and let the Linyi army "restore" the capital and still occupy the southern part of the country.
Are the soldiers not brave enough to fight? No.
Is it the coach who fears the enemy like a tiger? Not really.
It is because the price to pay to maintain the rule of the old land of the southern part of the country is too high and cannot bear it over time. In other words, the cost of rule is too high and the Central Plains court cannot afford it.
The problem of Linyi State is actually the key to politics rather than military. Whether or not the government can maintain the jurisdiction of the Central Plains court on this land depends on whether Jiaozhou in the north can provide sufficient support.
This requires the situation in Jiaozhou to be stable and have abundant manpower and material resources, which in turn leads to another question: Is Guangzhou stable or not? This involves how strong the Central Plains court has developed the Guangzhou area.
In the original history, even in the Song Dynasty, Lingnan was a place that made people feel terrified. The name of a smoky land was not a nonsense. It was precisely because Lingnan was the first choice for exile.
Lingnan during the Song Dynasty was still a smoky place. You can imagine what kind of "negative assets" Lingnan was for the Central Plains court at this time, let alone the farther and hot Jiaozhou.
In order to maintain the rule of the dynasty, the Central Plains court made far more efforts than gains. When the dynasty is on the uphill road, it is fashionable to maintain human resources and financial resources. When the dynasty is on the downhill road, how can there be the mind and ability to maintain the rule of the dynasty?
Guangzhou Panyu is far away from Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, the traditional political center of the Central Plains. It takes nearly two months to travel by land. Jiaozhou Prefecture Zhilongbing is nearly two thousand miles away from Panyu, not to mention Dianchong, which is also close to two thousand miles away from Longbing.
From the perspective of traditional dynasties, it is too expensive to maintain the rule of the original land of Rinan County.
There was chaos in the south of the sun, and the Jiaozhou soldiers attacked. If they win a battle, they would have to consume a lot of manpower and material resources. If they were defeated, they would have to suffer even more miserable conditions. The situation in Jiaozhou would become unstable, and then they would have to be dispatched from Guangzhou to quell the chaos.
The same problem is still the case. If the Guangzhou soldiers win, they will have to consume a lot of manpower and material resources. If they lose, the situation near Guangzhou will be unstable. What should we do now?
The dispatch of troops from the Central Plains would cost even more and would even cause mutiny. So over time, Rinan County was lost. Even if the troops were sent to recover, it would still fall into a vicious cycle.
Not to mention that once the situation in the Central Plains is unstable, even the Ridge is in danger.
Regarding the relationship between the former place of Rinan and Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, Yuwen Wen felt that it is more appropriate to describe it as "the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached?". Rinan County is the "deep southern boundary" of the Central Plains dynasty, and a bunch of bright and beautiful fluff, while Jiaozhou is the epidermis under the fluff.
The villi needs to be attached to the epidermis to be firm, and the villi and the epidermis also need the "dermis" of Guangzhou to provide nutrition. If the dermis dies, the epidermis that lose nutrients gradually shrinks, and the villi on it will naturally become sparse and even fall off cleanly.
The Rinan County was successfully eroded by the Linyi Kingdom. Its era background was that the world was in chaos in the Central Plains, with north-south confrontation. The Southern Dynasty faced a huge military threat from the Northern Dynasty. Almost all resources were invested in the northern defense line, and there was no place in the mood to control the extreme south.
Therefore, we must fundamentally solve the Linyi Kingdom and restore the old land in the south of the Sun. The Central Plains must first be stable, and then operate the Lingbiao Guangzhou area well, and then operate the Jiaozhou well based on it.
Guangzhou has the Pearl River Delta called the Pearl River Delta called the later generations, and Jiaozhou has the Red River Delta called the later generations. As long as these two places are well managed, they will be large granaries with large farmland. As long as they can have suitable arable land, more and more Han people will settle down.
The more Han people there are in a region, the stronger the cohesion of their hearts towards the Central Plains. As long as they are guided properly, they are allowed to organize armies to build camps to protect themselves. Once foreign enemies invade, they can effectively defend themselves and cooperate with the official army to repel the invading enemies.
This is the best way to recover and defend Rinan County, but it takes decades, even hundreds of years.
Therefore, Yuwen Wen did not expect to strike while the iron was hot and destroy Linyi. This behavior was meaningless and would only increase the casualties of the soldiers and could not substantially change the current situation of the old land in the south of the sun.
Where will the skin be attached if there is no hair? The Central Plains are likely to change the sky. When a storm comes, what he has to do is to become a winner. Otherwise, no matter how ambitious he is, if he cannot establish himself in the Central Plains, his other ambitions will be mirages and waters.
After the cessation of the dictionary, Linyi Kingdom was severely damaged and could not invade north for several years or even more than ten years, because its strength could not support its ambitions, and Jiaozhou could obtain a buffer period for a long time, which was enough.
When the dust in the Central Plains is settled, if he still has the ability, he will find a way to solve this problem.
Yuwen Wen was full of thoughts and was a little lost for a moment. The follower looked at the sky and whispered: "King, the time is here."
"Um?"
Looking at Dian Chongcheng, Yuwen Wen sighed: "Since that's the case, then send a signal."
Riding on his horse, he advanced east along the dirt road, and a loud horn sounded behind him. After a while, a fire broke out in Dianchong City, gradually connecting it into a circle, turning the city into a huge torch.
