Chapter 7: The Grass (Seven)

How about "Hu and Han Dividing the Rule"? From the long-term perspective of the Great Liao Kingdom, "supering Tian Ce" is of course too much stronger.

As the saying goes, having hair and skin is not a wealth. After a blizzard or plague on the grassland, how many cattle, sheep and livestock suffer misfortune? And all the Khitans become landlords, and all the Han slaves who were plundered to Youzhou and the Great Frontier become farmers and tenants. How much tax and food will be contributed to the official warehouses of the Great Liao Kingdom every year? Since you can also farm in Youzhou and the Great Frontier, and you can also get a piece of land, why should those plundered Han people risk their lives to escape back to their hometown? After returning, most of them still have to make a living by farming, and they are worried all day long to prepare for wars and bandits, and their lives may not be as peaceful as those in the Liao Kingdom!

However, this is only from the perspective of the country. From the perspective of individuals and families, the result is completely opposite.

The cleverest thing about Hu and Han's division of governance was to ensure that the Khitans, especially the elders of the Khitan ministries, had a transcendent status. However, "Super Tian Ce" directly stroked the elders' tiger beards!

Indeed, most Khitans can benefit from "giving land to Ce", and suddenly become landlords who rent land to the outside world. The conflicts between the Hu and Han people at the bottom of the Great Liao Kingdom will be greatly alleviated by "giving land to Ce". But what is the difference between the Khitans who do not rely on armed forces to make a living by collecting land to rent? How could the Khitan nobles who could not even recognize a few words in the court continue to suppress Han officials like Han Yanhui, Han Kuangsi, and Ma Yinqing?

In the long run, a hundred years later, when most of the Khitans and Han people become smaller and smaller, what kind of clan will the Great Liao Kingdom be?

Han Dexin is worthy of being the best among the "De" generation, both civil and military, and has a careful mind. The more she thinks, the more she feels cold all over, and sweat beads are frozen on the temples, cheeks, chin, etc., but she has no strength to wipe them.

No wonder "Super Tian Ce" was proposed by Ma Yinqing and his uncle Han Kuangsi. However, Han Yanhui, known as the "No. wisest person in the North", remained silent. It turned out that people had seen the risks behind him. No wonder Ma Yanxu returned to the army and led the Youzhou army to fight regardless of the situation. It turned out that this person was planning to share the risks for his father Ma Yinqing as much as possible.

Once this battle is won completely, Ma Yanxu's behavior will be enough to prove the loyalty of the Ma family to the Great Liao Kingdom. The attack effect of the elders of the Khitan ministers will definitely be greatly reduced. Even if this battle is defeated, facing the eldest son's father who just "sacrificed his country", the hostility of the elders of the Khitan ministers will be somewhat reduced, so that Ma Yinqing himself and the entire Ma family will not allow Shang Yang and Chao Cuo to take the backs of Shang Cuo. (Note 1)

However, based on the current situation, the possibility of the second ending is far greater than the first one! Sitting stiffly on the back of the pack horse, Han Dexin's body was like an ice sculpture, straight and hard. In front of and behind her, the white-haired wind was whirling with whirlpools, rolling and undulating, like rows of stormy waves.

He didn't want to die. He was still young, and he had a beautiful wife and concubine, as well as a son and daughter who had just learned to walk! He didn't want to treat himself as a sacrifice in order to alleviate the suppression that the Han family in Jizhou had to face. Ma Yanxu was Ma Yinqing's eldest son, but he was not! Ma Yanxu came from the eldest son of the Ma family, but he was just one of Han Kuangsi's many nephews.

But he couldn't turn around and escape now. Especially after hearing Han Zhuo explain the relevant interests behind it, he couldn't show any hesitation.

A junior who refuses to sacrifice for the interests of the family will inevitably be abandoned by the entire family. Without the family behind it, he will also lose everything he has now.

"My grandfather thought that giving Tian Ce would lay the foundation for the century-old foundation of our Great Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop!" Han Zhuo's voice suddenly came from the white-haired wind, very clear, but there was no trace of human warmth. "This time I went out to practice, my grandfather once reminded that if I meet the children of the Han family in Jizhou, I must make friends with all my strength. Although you and I are not of the same clan, the bloodline between each other will not be too far apart!"

"A genius is willing to kiss you guys who are inhuman!" Han Dexin cursed in her stomach, but she had to show her flattered hands on her face. She arched her stiff hands and said loudly: "It is a blessing for me to be able to listen to Brother Shishi's teachings at the moment. Brother Shishi is here, I am polite!"

The wind dispersed the white smoke from his mouth, and floated around with the snow particles in the wind. Han Zhuo could not see his face clearly, but could vaguely feel the anger in his words. Therefore, he first bowed and returned a ceremony of peers, and then said loudly: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. You and I are the same age as each other, so I can see similar experiences. Moreover, my brother has several years of experience in the army than my brother. How dare I ask the word "teaching" in front of my brother. I just tell you what I want to be honest in order to discuss it with my brother. If my brother does not agree, I will refute it in person. My brother must listen carefully. The word "teaching" is never dared to be it!"

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi - everything is right!" Han Dexin opened her mouth, and the sound was blown intermittently by the wind. "Outside the battlefield, outside the battlefield, it is indeed unpredictable. As a junior, even if she cannot contribute to the family at this moment, at least, at least she cannot cause any trouble to the family!"

"I am worthy of being a descendant of Zuo Pushe. My goodness said this!" Han Zhuo laughed and stroking his palms in the white-haired wind. The hem and sleeves of the sable fur floated, not like he was in the world. "Brother I asked more, my goodness, I think this world's luck is in the frontier or in the Central Plains?"

"Of course it's on the block!" Yelu Chiquan suddenly interrupted, holding the snow particles on his head, like a bear who had just woken up from the cold. "How can Liu Han compare to my country's destiny in the Great Liao Dynasty?"

He didn't understand a single word of the conversation between his younger brother and Han Zhuo just now. But as a child of the Yelu clan, he firmly believed that the future of the Great Liao Kingdom was bright. What is Liu Han? Adding up Li Tang, Ma Chu, Meng Shu to the south was not enough to put the cavalry of the Great Liao Kingdom to the extreme. It was just that the Great Liao Kingdom had just changed a new emperor and had not yet made any effort to fight south. (Note 2)

"In just thirty years, the Central Plains have changed three courts. Each one is not the enemy of our Great Liao. In the past thirty years, our Great Liao, national strength has been thriving! If this continues, sooner or later, the nine provinces will be unified again. The beautiful mountains and rivers will be filled with my Great Liao flag." Knowing that the other party would not be aimless, Han Dexin thought very seriously for a moment before responding loudly.

"Good! Brother I am also convinced of this!" Han Zhuo agreed loudly, stretching out a jade-like right hand from the sleeve of Diao Qiu, pointing out the country in the white-haired wind, "My Great Liao government is well-organized, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! And when his uncle's teaching of the field ceremonies tore the barriers between Hu and Han in one fell swoop. With this good strategy, the difference between Hu and Han will become smaller and smaller. Within twenty years, the Great Liao will no longer be just the Great Liao of the Khitans. The world's fortune and integrity will also move northward. Brother, you and me, if you don't take this opportunity to make achievements, when will you wait?" (Note 3)

Note 1: Shang Yang and Chao Cuo, both of them were reformers, and they were both tragically killed because they touched the interests of the old forces.

Note 2: Liu Han, that is, the Later Han Dynasty. The people of Liao did not think that Liu Zhiyuan was qualified to inherit the national name of Emperor Gaozu of Han, so he called him Liu Han. The Southern Tang Dynasty was called Li Tang, the Southern Chu was called Ma Chu, and the Later Shu was called Meng Shu, which is the same as this.
