Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 552 The correct way to open a vassal state

Zhao Huan's letter was sent to Jinkou, and after the ice in the Bohai Bay was completely thawed, the imperial edict would be sent to the country of Wa.

Emperor Chongde of the Wa Kingdom invited Pingsheng Qing to visit the Song Dynasty and obtained the canonized imperial edict.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.

The system of the vassal states of the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties is different from the definition of the vassal states of the Qing Dynasty.

The policy of the vassal state of the Qing Dynasty is based on [Da Zong Weihan, Huaide Weining] as the general program, and [Bu Enxin, Huaiyuanren] as the policy, and establishes a loose to the extreme political alliance with the vassal state.

The territory system of the Qing Dynasty, in general, is [the Ryukyu guards the southeast, Koryo guards the northeast, Mongolia guards the northwest, and Vietnam guards the southwest] and [the Son of Heaven guards the Siyi] territorial defense system.

But this was not the case in the Han and Tang Dynasties, fan and fence.

What is a vassal state, except for the Gyeonggi area, all the feudal states are vassal states, and the princes and clans that are enfeoffed are all vassal kings.

Belong to, belong to also.

Yan Shigu, a famous scholar during the Zhenguan period, explained the definition of a country when annotating Han Shu.

[Where it is said to belong to the country, it retains its country name and belongs to the Han Dynasty, so it is called belonging to the country. 】

Each vassal state must set up officials such as [duwei, cheng, hou, and qianren].

All the officials are Han people or the leaders of the Hu and Qiang tribes.

The rank of the captain of the subordinate country is more than two thousand stones, the same level as the guardian of the Western Regions, directly under the central government, and its power to govern the people and lead the army is like a county prefect.

The subordinate country is in charge of the national soldiers, what is the national soldiers?The soldiers of the state dynasty are called the state cavalry.The name is Rong Suo.

This is the real vassal state.

The no-government attitude of "the king does not rule the barbarians, the comers will not be rejected, and the departers will not be pursued" that emerged from the Qing Dynasty, the principle of treating vassal states, and non-interference in the internal affairs of vassal states, shows the grace and generosity of "Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo".

The principle of [Small Rewards, Thick Reciprocation], the practice of giving a large amount of rewards to the tributes, whose value far exceeds the items paid by the tributes, is also unique to the Qing Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, Fu Jiezi beheaded King Loulan, which was actually a legal operation.

This kind of military rule without ministers and the dispatch of civil officials to manage it is the vassal policy of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin Dynasty.

It was this way of thinking until the Ming Dynasty, such as Zheng He's voyages to the West to destroy the king of Ceylon.

King of Ceylon, Ariel Kunel.

He tried to plot the property on Zheng He's treasure ship, and Zheng He beat him all over the place looking for his teeth. Afterwards, he was killed again, and his blood flowed into a river.

Zheng He captured Su Ganla of Sumatra alive, and brought him back to the Ming Dynasty to be punished by Emperor Yongle, who canonized the new royal family.

This is the correct way to open a vassal state!

Before Zhao Huan studied the matter of the vassal state, he always thought that the vassal state was like the Qing Dynasty.

The kingdom of heaven rewards all neighbors.

Whether it was Dali's request for canonization or Wa country's request for canonization, he didn't think much about why these vassal states were so obsessed with their imperial edicts.

Why can a decree of my own be exchanged for silver worth 1000 million guan.

It was not until he carefully studied the governing methods of the vassal state that he realized that he was influenced by the inertial thinking of later generations and misunderstood the three words vassal state.

Wa Kingdom and Dali Kingdom are of course happy with this kind of canonization. If the country name is not removed, they can still get the canonization of Zhengshuo. One hundred willing!
The Song Dynasty did not have the ability to fight, and could not send out the vassal cavalry, so it was impossible to send the vassal captain. Could it be that the civil servants were expected to rule with their mouths?
When Zhao Kuangyin was canonized as the king of the Dali Kingdom, he was governed by the vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty. He sent Shu cavalry and Shu captains, appointed a large number of officials, and only then did the so-called jade ax demarcate the boundary.

But Zhao Huan does not have the ability to open up the vassal state in this way.

Because Song Chao had a lame leg.

Although Zhao Huan has used various methods such as pensions, equalization of land, conscription, and training of new troops to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, he still cannot open up the vassal state in the correct way.

Without Rong Suo, there would naturally be no cultural education.

When he was still in school, Zhao Huan always wondered why Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming established so many vassal states for the purpose of showing the style of a great country?

What kind of drama is it that the nations come to congratulate each year, and pay so much benefits, is it just for pretending?
After careful study, Zhao Huan realized that the word vassal is not simple.

There were 56 vassal states in the Han Dynasty alone, and these vassal states gradually became real counties with the passage of time.

There were 23 vassal states in the Sui Dynasty, and there were eleven vassal states in the Tang Dynasty. These vassal states were all conquered and lost their country names.

The Song Dynasty had only five nominal vassal states.

As soon as Zhao Huan finished thinking about the system of the vassal state, he issued an edict to the Wa state, ordering it to send a large amount of silver, which is a national law policy in line with etiquette!

At least before the Qing Dynasty, the way of ruling the vassal state was to use the Analects of Confucius with one hand and a big sword with the other, and beat anyone who refused to obey until he was obedient.

At the beginning, Confucius attended the alliance between Lu Dinggong and Qi Jinggong as the prime minister of Lu Dinggong.

Qi Jinggong originally wanted to attack Lu Dinggong, but when Confucius found out, he executed the Qi assassin on the spot. Qi Jinggong was afraid, so he stopped the action and returned the land that invaded Lu.

And Meng Ben from Qi is a fierce man among fierce men, famous for his strength, he can't avoid crocodiles in the water when he goes into the water, and he can't avoid tigers and wolves when he walks on the road.

I saw two bison fighting in the field, blocking Meng Ben's way.

Meng Ben separated the two fighting bison with his hands. One bison surrendered, and the other was a little bit unconvinced.

Meng Benqiang pulled the horns out of the bull's head and killed the bison.

The state of Qin recruited brave men from all over the world. When Meng Ben rushed to the river, he found that there was no place on the boat. The boatman hit Meng Ben's head with an oar and said, "Can you still use strength?"

In a fit of rage, Meng Ben overturned the whole boat, swam across the river, met King Wu of Qin, and followed King Wu of Qin to win a competition in Pengcheng.

Both were crushed to death by the tripod.

Such a fierce man, "Huainanzi" said: Confucius was wiser than Changhong, and he bravely obeyed Meng Ben.

So the habits of Confucius are also the habits of the Central Plains people after Qin Dynasty.

If you listen to me well, I will reason with you. If you don't listen to me well, I will beat you to listen to me.

After Zhao Huan studied the vassal state system, he realized that the way he opened it was wrong, but there was no good way.

Only by winning the Kingdom of Jin can we talk about the Rongsuo system of these vassal states.

Zhao Huan looked out the window, staring at the blue sky and white clouds with rapt eyes. He finally understood why Mr. Lu Xun said "there is no place in Wenyuan that will not be trampled".

These cubs!

It's not just the contents of the book that are destroyed!

Also through the misinterpretation of knowledge and allusions, through the high-handed rule of the literary prison, to complete the spiritual restraint of all the people of the Central Plains Dynasty!
This is a blasphemy against culture!

This broke the backbone of the Central Plains Dynasty!

And it's not that Song didn't want to do such things, but that his strength didn't allow it, and he realized that when he was canonized as a vassal state, the courtiers didn't have any objections. They were waiting, waiting for Song to be strong again!
It is not without practical significance to go far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Zhao Huan looked out the window, Zhu Lian pushed away the lychee in his hand, and said with a smile: "Guan, what are you thinking, so preoccupied?"

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that what I did was not good enough." Zhao Huan replied with a smile, stroking Zhu Lian's hair.

Zhu Lian doesn't like things like government affairs, what kind of backbone, what kind of culture, for her, she doesn't have the worried appearance of her husband, which makes people feel distressed.

She is still like this until now, it is entirely because when Zhao Huan was the prince, Zhu Lian was not even the prince concubine, but had always been the princess.

Zhao Ji made a mess, and after hastily giving way, Zhu Lian jumped from the princess to the queen's seat three times.

Zhu Lian brought the lychee to Zhao Huan's mouth, and said, "Come and eat a lychee, it was sent by Fan Ruwei from Fujian."

"The aroma is clear, the color is bright purple, the shell is thin and flat, the flesh is thick and translucent like peach blossom red, the core is like cloves, it condenses like water without peeling, and the refined food disappears like crimson snow. Come and taste it."

"He sent someone to send money to Zhao Ying, saying that he was asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give this lychee a high-quality grade for imperial use, so that Fujian Road can make more money."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "A lychee is still so elegant."

"Well, it tastes good. It's a good product for the emperor, tsk tsk, this Fan Ruwei knows how to do business. Just give him one. What's the name of this lychee?"

"It's called Chen Zi." Zhu Lian said with a smile.

Zhao Huan ate another one, and suddenly asked: "Liu Wan from the Kingdom of Jin arrived in Zhenzhou and then transferred to Datong Mansion. What do you think is the best rank for this Liu Wan?"

Zhu Lian said with a smile: "The concubine thinks I should give it to someone who is talented. If the Liu family is really attached, and they have meritorious service in planning the Jin Kingdom, then they can be promoted."

"Fifth class? You are very grand, and thought you were going to give her an eighth class." Zhao Huan nodded, Zhu Lian was grand enough to do things.

Zhu Lian pouted, and said, "Hmph, if it wasn't for planning important events in the Kingdom of Jin! Don't talk about waiting, she wants to enter the palace? Don't even think about it! She won't even be able to get through Li Gongzheng!"

"You know that Li Gongzheng is there, some old palace eunuchs are strict! If there is something wrong, you can call her back. She can enter the palace of the Song Dynasty as long as she wants? A guy."

There is no woman in the world who doesn't like taste.

When Zhu Lian mentioned this, he frowned and said: "Officials, why is my stomach not up to date? It's been two years and it hasn't bulged yet!"

"All the ladies of Jingguo have given birth to a baby, and there is also Wang Tin's girl, Lin Youyu, who has a baby!"

Zhao Huan thought for a while, Zhao Chen is ten years old this year, they have been an old couple for ten years, and in the end there is only one child.

Moreover, because of Bamen's entry into Beijing, the child was extremely embarrassed.

"Then hurry up and have another one!" Zhao Huan hugged Zhu Lian horizontally.

Zhu Lian panicked and said, "This is in the car! There are still people outside."

Zhao Huan said with a chuckle: "I close the window and plug the door, who can hear the movement inside? It turns out that it is nearly three inches thick of nanmu, plus two inches thick of refined steel. Do people listen carefully?"

Zhu Lian blushed and raised her face. She glanced at the position of the window. In addition to the layer of glass, there was also a layer of extremely thick steel plate.

"Eh... um (flat voice)..."

When Liu Wan walked to Datong Mansion, she was surprised!Is this still the Datong Mansion in my impression?When the war broke out, they fled in all directions, and the Datong Mansion fell, but she saw it.

In just two years, it seemed to have changed.

　Thanks to "another novice" for the reward. The reason for the late update today is that I was studying the differences between the Qing Dynasty and the Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming vassal states...I found that I almost wrote it crookedly...What the hell [The king does not rule Yi Di, come Don't reject those who go, don't chase those who go]...
