Chapter 115: Two Phoenixes
Kongming was flying in the sky, Zhang Fei was turning on the ground.
Huang Yueying was exclaiming, Pang Tong was envious, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were smiling at each other.
Ma Liang thought it was natural, Jiang Wan was a little fascinated.
For several people, this news was a real surprise!
The Han Dynasty has been gone for 1,700 years, but the descendants of these survivors in Nanzhong still think they are the people of the Han Dynasty!
This group of Han people, who were later called Wa people, did not know that Gaozu did not hear about Han Wu, but only knew Zhuge Liang.
Kongming patted Zhang Fei's arm twice before he was put back on the ground. He was dizzy and could only say:
"Don't do it in the future."
Pang Tong couldn't help but say:
"What did Kongming do to win the hearts of these Nanyi Han people?"
From the history that has been sorted out now, Kongming set out and returned in December, destroyed the disobedient, settled Nanzhong, sorted out the ancient Shendu Road, and set up prefects in various places.
And the next year, a vigorous Northern Expedition would begin, until the last time he died of illness on the battlefield.
Then the agreement mentioned by the Wa Han people could only be made in the year of pacifying Nanzhong.
But what did Kong Ming do? This is also what others are curious about.
[The Prime Minister did not leave many words about the civil governance of Nanzhong, but it is passed down by word of mouth.
Even if you go to the local area now, the Wa people will tell you the story of their ancestors and Zhuge Liang.
Generation after generation of elders have passed down the original story: After the Prime Minister pacified Nanzhong, he did his best to face the ancestors of the Wa people.
Breeding good varieties, preserving seeds, farming techniques, house building methods, cattle driving methods, planting mulberry and raising silkworms, spinning and weaving.
This barren land of primitive tribes that practiced slash-and-burn farming was introduced to the fire of civilization by the Prime Minister, and it has been endless, which can be said to be the earliest poverty alleviation in Chinese history.
At the same time, the prime minister also knew how to adapt to local conditions. For example, Pu'er is a place with low sunlight and constant temperature, and it is rainy and loose soil, which is very suitable for the promotion and cultivation of tea.
The prime minister taught them how to grow tea, making Pu'er tea famous all over the world. Until today, Pu'er tea is still the pillar industry of the local area.
Therefore, the local people in Yunnan worship Zhuge Liang as the ancestor of tea. The prime minister also truly implemented his strategy of "pacifying the Yi and Yue in the south" in Longzhong.
Later, Luo Guanzhong summarized the prime minister's strategy of the south well in the novel: sincerely want to conquer their hearts, not to destroy their kind. 】
"Conquer their hearts but not destroy their kind." Liu Bei sighed.
"Emperor Wu's unfinished work of controlling 100,000 armored soldiers was accomplished by Zhuge Kongming!" Guan Yu's eyes were full of praise.
Although these are all about governance, in Guan Yu's view, this is the highest realm of the art of war: conquering the enemy without fighting.
"Just like the couplet that was used to attack the heart in the Wuhou Temple before." Guan Yu was really interested and recited on the spot:
"If you can attack the heart, the rebellion will disappear. It has been known since ancient times that soldiers are not belligerent."
"Kong Ming must be a master of military tactics!"
Guan Erye made his own conclusion.
"Clang!"
Zhang Fei turned his head and saw that Pang Tong accidentally knocked the teacup on the table to the ground.
Zhang Fei laughed and went to help Pang Tong pick up the teacup, then patted Pang Tong on the shoulder:
"Pang Military Advisor, you are as famous as the Prime Minister, try your best."
This is almost the meaning of asking Pang Tong to work hard, but it can only cause Pang Tong to roll his eyes:
You, a commander who was murdered by his own soldiers, are advising me to try my best?
Looking at the tea leaves in the teacup, Pang Tong remembered the title of the tea ancestor of the Wolong next to him, and suddenly he lost the desire to drink tea.
The skills of farming, building houses, and growing tea are not considered advanced, and Pang Tong is also a rough proficient in them.
But he never thought that one day these things could be used to "conquer their hearts and make them like their own" and to quell the rebellion in a place.
Pang Tong was in a state of confusion.
Ma Liang was copying carefully with his eyes shining.
The experience of the prime minister in the light curtain, could he also use it when he pacified the Wuxi barbarians later?
Moreover, now that he has the protection of the light curtain, there will definitely be no defeat in Yiling, and he, Ma Jichang, can do more things.
Since he has already had the experience of pacifying the Wuxi barbarians in Jingzhou, Ma Liang guessed that he would naturally have to go to Nanzhong when the time comes.
These are all countermeasures that can be used directly, which are really useful to him!
In this way, maybe thousands of years later, when this place praises the prime minister and builds a temple, the statue of Baimei can also be worshipped beside the prime minister?
Ma Liang was copying and laughing.
[It was because of the prime minister's strategies towards Nanzhong that King Ban Lao and King Ban Hong were so determined to resist the British 1,700 years later.
For them, the prime minister had already fulfilled the promise made thousands of years ago. Their lives were improved and they walked out of the wilderness.
Fighting against the British invaders was nothing more than abiding by the promise made by the ancestors and the prime minister.
But we all know that the British have always been toads pretending to be frogs - ugly flowers for fun.
In 1941, the Wa people woke up and found that they had become British Burmese!
British Burma and the Guo Party signed the "41-year line" and sold the two plots of land in Banlao and Banhong!
Since then, the Wa people have persisted in the struggle, and people from all over the country have continued to support the Wa people's struggle.
It was not until the 1960s after the founding of the People's Republic of China that we finally re-demarcated the border with Myanmar and let Banlao and Banhong return to China.
The "Banhong Anti-British Monument" now stands in Banhong, witnessing this epic history of struggle opened by the prime minister himself. 】
Everyone couldn’t comment, they just felt…
“It’s really not easy for the younger generations in later generations to be bullied to this extent.” Liu Bei shook his head.
Zhang Fei couldn't understand: "There is a legend about Kong Ming in this place, there are Han people, and they speak Chinese, how can they be sent to neighboring countries?"
"Were all the monarchs and ministers at that time traitors?"
Guan Yu was stroking his beard and looking at the thing called the monument in the light curtain that was higher than the surrounding houses, an idea came to his mind:
"Isn't this the case of laying a stone to mark the merits?"
The more Guan Yu thought about it, the more he understood:
"Isn't it the same as setting up a stone to record one's merits and setting up a monument to commemorate one's achievements?"
"In the future, when people grow up looking at this monument, they can remember this period of history and never forget the fight of their fathers. Good!"
Zhang Fei was puzzled: "Then does this monument remember King Ban Lao or King Ban Hong?"
"None of them." Guan Yu shook his head, pointed at the light screen and said, "Third brother, the return of this place to the Han Dynasty is due to King Banhong, but the greatest contribution is to the people of Banhong."
"This place has remembered Kong Ming's kindness from generation to generation, so it is... fighting for the identity of Han people!"
Guan Yu's eyes were bright, and he felt that this dynasty in later generations was quite generous:
"Erect a monument to praise your achievements, and those who praise your achievements will be the ears of the people here."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but the detailed picture of the monument that appeared on the light screen made them unable to believe it.
This stele has the inscription "Banhong Anti-British Site Stele" on it. It has a square base and a stele surface on one side, which is densely packed with people's names.
Ban Laowang's name was not specially marked, and it was buried in a large number of names of the same size.
There was silence in the hall, and I couldn't figure it out for a while.
In the silence, only Kong Ming kept smiling, and his smile grew even brighter when he saw the monument.
[In the Nanzhong area, there is the deterrence of force, the guarantee of the southerners to rule the south, the interests of my ancient body, the poisonous way, and the prime minister's poverty alleviation for the weak southern barbarians.
It can be said that the Prime Minister basically relied on 60 points of resources to achieve 95 points of results in Nanzhong. He really tried his best.
Money and food are in place, and Nanzhong is at peace, then the internal affairs need to be sorted out.
Generally speaking, the prime minister's credit for governing Shu will start from "Shu Ke", because the prime minister's policies for governing Shu all start from here.
After the implementation of "Shu Ke", tears fell from the eyes of Yizhou's wealthy people:
Our former lord Liu Zhang was so good. As long as he was not punished, we could do whatever we wanted if we had money and power!
As a result, these stinky beggars from Jingzhou came and actually wanted to protect the common people? There is no way to have a hot day!
According to historical records, when the Prime Minister governed Shu, he was strict but not cruel, with clear rewards and punishments, fair and equitable, and the people had no complaints.
This shows that the Prime Minister has half-heartedly understood one of the core functions of the law: protecting the interests of vulnerable groups. 】
Kong Ming tasted the refreshing new terms that Light Screen said.
In the pre-Qin period, the Legalists had strict laws on punishment, and there had been quarrels for hundreds of years over whether the laws should be tolerant or strict.
But now the light curtain has brought knowledge that belongs to future generations, and it can be said to be a wake-up call for the role of the law.
Does a wealthy family need laws? No, most of the time they hate the law.
They have private soldiers, slaves, and domestic servants, so they can run rampant in the countryside. How can ordinary people harm them?
The big families wield power, the big surnames hold the money, the strong rely on strength, and the common people rely only on the law.
Kong Ming had just finished sorting out the thoughts in his mind, and when he looked up, he saw Pang Tong's eager eyes:
"Kong Ming, it seems that the laws of Shu have not been revised yet?"
After receiving Kong Ming's confirmation, Pang Tong's eyes became even more eager:
"Then why not wait for the war to calm down and help my fellow practitioners practice the laws of Shu?"
"The story of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cultivating the Law is a good story."
Kong Ming chuckled and chose to refuse.
[The success of the Prime Minister's Law has been recognized, so I won't go into details. What is worth mentioning is the Amnesty Order.
When Liu Zhang and his son were in charge of Shu, they "pardoned them every year", which was a perfect negative example for the prime minister.
When the prime minister himself governed Shu, he only issued a pardon once when Liu Chan ascended the throne, and never again.
After the death of the prime minister, Ji Han's remaining nearly thirty years in Zuo were issued twelve amnesty orders.
The rule of law that the prime minister had so painstakingly maintained became a joke, which accelerated the demise of the Shu Han.
Later, in the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Erfeng, one emperor throughout the ages, often talked with his officials about governing the country.
At that time, Erfeng admired the Prime Minister's attitude towards the amnesty order, believing that the amnesty order could not help the country's stability, but was often the beginning of disaster.
But it's a pity that although Erfeng saw it clearly, he couldn't do it. During the Zhenguan period, he still issued several amnesty orders. Although it emphasized that corruption and violations of the law would not be pardoned, it still essentially harmed the interests of the people. 】
〖Li Shimin:? ? ? ?
Li Shimin: I have never had the nickname Li Erfeng! ! ! ! 〗
Everyone in the hall just thought the name of this eternal emperor was a bit strange, and then they saw the unusually conspicuous words on the light screen.
Ma Liang thought about it:
"Is this Li Shimin Li Erfeng?"
