Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Su Wu left Rome and embarked on the road back to the Han Dynasty, it had been two years since he left Dunhuang.  At this moment, he didn't know that in the two years since he left, nine lords had appeared in the Dudu Mansion. And just when he was about to return, Bai Zheng's Western Region Allied Forces had already arrived in Dawan and were about to attack Dawan.  The capital of Wan Kingdom is Guishan City.

    Ctesiphon, a city that had been the capital of the Parthian Empire for less than ten years, had gathered together the dignitaries and senior officials of the entire empire in the huge palace.

    The imperial monarch, Mithridates II, the king of kings, and the kings of the eighteen subject countries, as well as Mithridates II's most trusted advisor, the imperial prime minister Europazzo, are discussing  An event that would determine the fate of the empire.

    "Dear King of Kings, our old enemy Sulla has led his legion back to Rome and used force to seize the supreme power of Rome. Now the war on the western front of the empire has stabilized, and within two or three years Sulla will  There will not be another Eastern Expedition, and in our east, the dynasty named Han also sent a young commander to start the Western Expedition. At present, the young commander's army has conquered the Kingdom of Dawan." There is the first wise man of Anxi.  Europazzo, known as the Prime Minister of the Empire, sat in his chair and told Mithridates II and eighteen other kings about the situation surrounding the Parthian Empire.

    Although Parthia is called the Empire, their supreme ruler is not called the Emperor.  The ruler of this empire, which is composed of kingdoms large and small, is only the most powerful kingdom monarch. In addition to accepting conscription from the King of Kings, other monarchs also usually implement a high degree of autonomy within their own kingdoms.  Each kingdom even had different religious and cultural beliefs, as well as independent currencies and laws.

    "Does the Prime Minister have any new plans?" King Cordone has a beard. His country is not the most powerful in Parthia, but his cavalry troops are the most powerful armies in the entire Parthia Empire.  .

    Europazzo did not answer King Cordone, but looked at Mithridates II.  Then the resting King of Kings slowly stood up with his hands on the armrests of the throne, looked at the more than ten kings in the palace and said: "The commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty named Anyang Hou Huoguang was no less powerful than Sulla.  We must march eastward before he captures Dayuan, and take over Dayuezhi and other countries first. It just so happens that Su La is unable to march eastward, so we must first get rid of this man named Anyang Hou Huoguang!"

    Mithridates II also thought that Huo Guang¡¯s full name was Huo Guang, Marquis of Anyang. It seemed that such a name was more in line with their understanding.  And this resting King of Kings actually turned his attention to the east and the rapidly rising governor of the Western Regions from the moment Sulla returned to Rome.

    The Parthian monarchs began to discuss in groups. Sulla of the Roman Republic had already asked them to transfer almost two-thirds of the empire's army to the western front. If Huoguang, the Marquis of Anyang of the Han Empire, continued to advance westward, it would indeed be  It would put tremendous pressure on R.I.P.  Sulla just now left the province of Asia Minor, and the war on the western front of the Parthian Empire was basically over. This was indeed the best time to march eastward.

    While the resting kings were discussing how to march eastward, Huo Guang, who was far away in Dunhuang, stepped out of the Governor's Mansion and headed to Juyanze, the northernmost tip of Hexi.

    It has been two years since Wuya, a former Hun royal woman, came to Juyanze.  In the past two years, not only Hexi and the Western Regions have been developing rapidly, the three major oases have all completed the transformation of fertile land, the nine major feudal lords have also completed the construction of their territories, and Ju Yanze under Wu Ya's command has also completely completed the construction of fertile land in the past two years.  Changed appearance.

    Huo Guang has decentralized Wu Ya to the extreme. Although Huo Guang has often come to Yanze to stay for a few days in the past two years, he has never asked about the government affairs here.  But now the title of Juyan Captain has been revoked. Whether it is an official title or a private title, the entire Juyan area is called the Juyan Department of the Western Regions Governor's Palace, or simply referred to as the Juyan Department.

    Wuya did not disappoint Huo Guang in the past two years. She not only integrated many scattered Xiongnu tribes on the grasslands north of Juyan, increasing the population of Juyan tribe to about 70,000, but also transformed Juyanze into  The cradle of civilization that was half pastoral and half farming, the tens of thousands of Xiongnu survivors also transformed from a nomadic people into a half pastoral and half farming nation in two years.  Various iron tools, water conservancy facilities and other things were gradually mastered by the Juyan tribe. A completely different development model appeared in Juyanze. It seemed that this place was becoming a branch of the Xiongnu, a brand new civilization that was different from the Han civilization and the Xiongnu civilization.  civilization.

    "I heard that your Juyan tribe has even changed their beliefs. Your people have begun to believe in the Moon God? And it is said that this Moon God is a woman who combines beauty and wisdom?" Huo Guang looked at the brocade,  Wu Ya, wearing a gorgeous crown, had a satisfied smile on her face.

    "All of this was taught well by the Governor, and they are not my people. They??This is the great governor of your people!  "Wu Ya smiled. The so-called Moon God was naturally made up by her, and the purpose was just to pave the way for becoming the queen one day. Of course, Huo Guang was more responsible for all this.

    "So what are your plans next?" Huo Guang knew that in the original history, the Xiongnu would actually be a threat to the Han for a long time in the future. He had also thought about plowing the court and sweeping the holes of the Xiongnu just like he did with the Qiang people.  Drive further north to the Siberian wilderness or even the Arctic.  However, the grassland is too vast and the Huns are highly mobile. This method may not be really effective. In the end, Huo Guang found a more challenging and interesting plan, which was to support a man who was inclined to the Han Dynasty.  Xiongnu rulers, in order to achieve the effect of ruling slaves with slaves.

    However, when Huo Guang got along with Wu Ya for several months, he came up with a bolder and more exciting idea, which was to support Wu Ya into an unprecedented Queen of the Huns. In Huo Guang's view, this seemed to be a crazier and more exciting idea.  Interesting thing.

    "I have ordered my soldiers to disguise themselves as the armies of King Youxian and Shanyu to create friction between the two parties. It seems to have a good effect now. Even without me provoking in the middle, the troops of Shanyu and King Youxian have already  The small-scale frictions continue." Wu Ya said happily, she liked the feeling of toying with her opponents in the applause, especially when her brother who was once aloof was among them.

    "Your method of winning in chaos is quite good. As the situation between the Huns and the Huns continues to deteriorate, more and more Huns will turn to you, right? By then, you Huns will be a tripartite!" Huo Guangqingqing  Wu Ya nodded, Wu Ya's strategy of sowing discord was still very effective.

    As the Huns have continued to decline for more than ten years, their living space has become smaller and smaller. However, King Youxian's army has not received much blow in recent years. Gradually, there is a gap between Shanyu's headquarters and King Youxian's army.  The situation is getting smaller and smaller, and the conflict between pastures is like the land issue in the Han Dynasty, which was enough to trigger a civil war.

    "I heard that the emperor wants to set up a ministry to monitor the world. Will he also set up a governor's department in Hexi? That would be extremely detrimental to you, the governor!" Wu Ya is also always paying attention to the situation of the Han Dynasty. For the world in the past few months  She was also very concerned about the controversial issue of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty setting up a provincial governor, and more of it was out of concern for Huo Guang. As for whether this concern was public or private, no one knew?

    "Haha, with the governor's office in Hexi, there is no need for a governor. Your Majesty is a sensible person and will not do such a futile thing!" Huo Guang said with a smile.  Huo Guang did have this kind of confidence now. Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed a governor to come to Hexi, it would be just a decoration. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a sensible person and would naturally not do such a thankless thing.

    In the spring of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also slowly came out of the grief of the death of Princess Wei Qing and Pingyang.  At this time, two full years have passed since the Yellow River floods. During these two years, the entire Han Empire was taking action to control the Yellow River floods.  Two years later, the governance has begun to bear fruit. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict and began to travel eastward along the river from Chang'an, then pass through the Jianghuai area, then take the nine southeastern counties, and finally go upstream along the river to Bashu.  Finally, we arrived at Longxi for our inspection trip.  As for whether to go to Hexi or not, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not make a clear statement.

    During this inspection, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had for the first time a complete and detailed appreciation of the scenery of the Han Dynasty under his rule. However, along the way, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not just look at the scenery. He also visited many large counties along the way.  Once again, the number of county-level administrative units in Dahan increased a lot.

    At first, everyone thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just added a few counties on a whim.  However, as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty split up more and more counties, everyone in the world knew that this was definitely not a temporary idea of ??Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  I don¡¯t know since when, a piece of news said to have come from a close official of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to spread throughout the world.

    It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that some counties in the Han Dynasty were too large, such as Shu County, Longxi, Beidi and other counties. One county had a population of four to five million, and some large counties could easily recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.  It was precisely because of this that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the move to split up large counties. After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came up with a method that was more conducive to centralized rule.

    That is to divide the world into thirteen major states. Each state has a governor. The governor is directly responsible to the emperor and is responsible for supervising the officials of the counties and counties under the state. However, the governor has no administrative and judicial power, and the administrative and judicial power still belongs to the individual.  County owned.

    When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the river crossing and looked across the river at the land west of the river, there were many indescribable expressions in his eyes.  The accompanying ministers were all three feet away from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. No one could guess what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thinking. Dozens of large boats were ready at the ferry, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still did not give the order to cross the river.

    "The order is bounded by the river, includingAnding County is established in Li, Yuezhidao, Jingyang, Anwu, Anding, Yinpan, Pengyang, Sanshui and other counties.  Go back to Chang'an" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established a brand new county called Anding on the bank of the Yellow River using most of the area that originally belonged to Beidi County, and then turned around and returned to Chang'an.

    When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty returned to Chang'an, the edict establishing the Sili Xiaowei and the thirteen prefecture governors was finally promulgated to the world.  In addition to setting up the Sili Xiaowei Department in the Sanfu area, all nine southeastern counties were transformed into the Jiaozhi Governor's Department, next to the Xiongnu's Shuofang Governor's Department, followed by Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou  , Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and finally Yongzhou, which was established next to the four counties of Hexi.

    In addition to the Sili Xiaowei Department, there are exactly thirteen departments and prefectures!

    In the end, as Huo Guang expected, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not establish any more provincial governor's offices in the four counties of Hexi. There was still only one governor's office of the Western Regions there.
