Chapter 458: Jianye’s life, I won’t care

Zhang Ying thought for a while and then said hesitantly: "But I am afraid that I will not be able to adapt to the life in Jianye. After all, there are very few Yizhou people there, let alone the people from my tribe, there are even fewer

,

When we get to Jianye, I don’t know any etiquette. Wouldn’t that make my husband’s friends and colleagues laugh at me?” Zhang Ying stayed with Gu Yu for the past two months, and she also spoke the language of Zhongyuan better.

alright,

Gu Yu's strong arms hugged Zhang Ying tightly and said with a smile: "Ying'er don't have to worry about this. Although there are very few people from Yizhou in Jianye, there are still a lot of Shanyue people like you. Besides, I'm here to accompany you."

With you, you will not be alone,

As for those etiquettes, you don’t need to learn them. Although my father studied under Cai Yong, he has already left. Now we don’t have many friends from before our family fell into decline. I don’t really care about these things. Even if someone says something, I don’t care.

I won’t care.”

Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce once brutally killed Shan Yue.

Shanyue, on the other hand, guerrillas in the mountains and haunts the jungle, stuck in the throat of Soochow like a bone, especially Danyang Shanyue, right next to the bedside of Soochow's regime, under the nose.

If they echoed Cao Wei in the north, that would be a serious worry for Soochow! During the reign of Sun Quan, Shanyue was still "disobedient", and its scope was mainly in Danyang, Wujun, and Kuaiji.

They go up and down, between mountains and seas. As long as the government does not control them, they can be non-violent and have no ambition to seize power.

Therefore, during the Battle of Chibi, Soochow was in a tight situation and had no time to take care of them. Instead, they settled down and did not come to respond to Cao Wei. Instead, Sun Quan's Northern Expedition was blocked, so he turned back and turned against them to deal with them.

Their threat to Soochow is not that they want to seize power, but that they do not agree with the Soochow regime and are unwilling to be Soochow subjects.

So, couldn't Soochow allow them to govern themselves and coexist peacefully with them? This question is completely redundant to ask of dynasty China. No regime would do this, because the arrogance of royal power cannot be offended in the slightest.

But this did not prevent Sun Quan from adjusting his policy, from encirclement and suppression to appeasement and recruitment. Sun Quan used Zhuge Ke's strategy to cross the Danyang Mountains without encircling them, cutting off their water and food sources, forcing them to come down from the mountains, and then collect them and include them in their household registration.

Household registration was established to expand military and tax sources and enhance the national power of Soochow. There were only one county in Danyang, and more than 100,000 households were recruited from Shanyue. Soochow received 40,000 soldiers.

Haiyue can also be said to be Waiyue. When referring to "Shanyue", it is called "Haiyue". If you look at it from the perspective of the dynasty, you will regard them as bandits and pirates. Of course, here

There is a kind of geopolitical discrimination.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he used the national power and talent of the Han Dynasty to solve these two geopolitical problems. Not only did he drive the Huns from the North Hu into the desert, but he also drove South Vietnam into the sea, leaving behind the historical problems of mountain crossing and sea crossing.

Come down.

By the Three Kingdoms period, the historical problems of "Northern Hu" had been solved by Cao Cao, but only temporarily. The problems left by "South Vietnam" - Shanyue and Haiyue, had to be solved by Sun Quan. They were resources, but

It's also a burden.

Soochow, which arose in the ancient Yue Kingdom, can be said to be the product of the union of the Huaisi Group and the Jiangdong clan. Its political culture should belong to the Han Dynasty, but its geopolitics is inseparable from the Yue Kingdom, so it can be regarded as a Han-Vietnamese country.

.

The ancestor of the Sun family is Sun Wu, who came from Qi to Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period and wrote "Sun Tzu's Art of War". His descendants have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for generations.

Sun Jian was "a native of Fuchun, Wu County, and a descendant of Sun Wu." As expected, he had the bloodline of a military strategist.

When he was seventeen years old, he and his father once took a boat to Qiantang. As the boat was sailing in the river, they encountered pirates who robbed people and property. On the shore, they were dividing the loot. Everyone in the boat wanted to stop, and the passing ships refused to move forward. At that time, Sun Jian said to his father

"This thief can be attacked"!

Then he went ashore with his sword, pointed east and west, and gave orders. The thieves looked at him, thinking that officers and soldiers were coming to arrest him, threw down his belongings, and fled in a hurry.

Sun Jian chased after him, killed one of the thieves, and returned. His father was surprised. He had never expected that the Sun family, who had been officials for several generations, would have such a son of a military strategist.

At the same time, Xuchang, a native of Kuaiji, revolted in Juzhang, calling his father the King of Yue and Emperor Yangming. It is said that tens of thousands of people followed him in nearby counties.

Sun Jian recruited more than a thousand men and wiped out the "Emperor Yangming" in one fell swoop. This was probably the last cry of the Yue people's restoration movement. After that, the mountains and seas rose up, and he no longer claimed to be the king of Yue, nor did he take any measures to restore the country.

way of movement.

But does the Soochow regime that emerged here still reflect the glory of the ancient Yue Kingdom?

To answer this question, we have to look at it from two aspects. On the one hand, in terms of its political identity, it certainly does not regard itself as the continuation and change of the ancient Yue regime, and it naturally considers itself a part of the Han Dynasty;

On the other hand, after all, the country was founded on the old land of Ancient Yue, and the land and people of Ancient Yue determined the fundamentals of the regime. From this point of view, the emerging Soochow regime can also be considered as the revival and reappearance of the Ancient Yue Kingdom.

Although its military and political power came from the Huaisi Group from north to south, its social foundation was rooted in the local area, based on the Jiangdong clan. The Sun family was not only of Jiangdong lineage, but also the leader of Huaisi, so it could become the hub of its political power.

In fact, there is not that big difference between Han and Yue.

The cultural commonalities between the Han and Yue people should outweigh their differences. Geopolitical conflicts will exaggerate the differences and escalate them to a clash of civilizations in order to serve political purposes.

Strictly speaking, the Han Dynasty is not a race, but a civilization and a cultural community. The original name of "Han" was originally a place name, which was shortened to Hanzhong. Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty as the king of Hanzhong, so it was also the name of a dynasty.

A general term for a nation,

Han is neither the source of civilization nor the mother of civilization. Tai Shigong's "The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" traces its origins and finds a common ancestor - the two emperors of Yan and Huang. This blood lineage forms the Han nationality community. All Han people are descendants of Yan and Huang.

Tracing the origins to this point, we can see that Han and Yue are one. Needless to say, during the Yanhuang period, Wu and Yue had Liangzhu ritual jade culture traveling northward from southeast to northwest, which is consistent with the legends about Yao, Shun, and Yu. From the beginning of history, Yue people have been regarded as the sons of Xia Yu

Shaokang's descendants, in "Yue Jue Shu", Yue King Gou Jian had this in mind, and he followed the barbarians but not the Zhou Dynasty, which was based on Yue Yu.

This source is very far away, but to put it more closely, Yue destroyed Wu, Chu merged with Yue, Qin destroyed Chu, but Chu held a grudge and swore, "Although Chu has three households, Chu will definitely destroy Qin"!

At that time, the more Chu followed, the more they identified with Chu. Therefore, Chu punished Qin and all the Yue followed him. Xiang Yu, a Chu man, set up an army east of the Yangtze River and led 8,000 Wu and Yue children in the Northern Expedition. Liu Bang was located in Pei County, which was also the old place of Wu and Yue, and later returned to Chu.

, although the Han Dynasty is based on the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is still the Chu people. Therefore, the Chu people and the Han people are essentially one body, and the Chu people already include Wu and Yue.

As a result, we have seen such a political integration process. First, Wu and Yue were integrated, and then Chu and Yue were integrated. These two processes were premised on cultural identity and were relatively smooth.
