Chapter 90 Prestige
"A total of more than 4,500 Qiang people were moved back from this journey to the west. In the city, there were 7,300 Qiang people, 2,100 Han people, 770 Han people, 360 Di people, and 210 Hu people.
, a total of more than 1,700 people." Zhou Yu reported to Yang Zheng after completing the statistics.
"Civil camps are set up, and all ethnic groups live together. According to the military establishment, five households are organized into a corps, and there are chief and deputy corps commanders. Ten households are organized into one shi, and there are chief and deputy chiefs. The chief and deputy chiefs are all held by remnants, and the deputy positions are held by all ethnic groups.
He who obeys shall be in charge.”
During Shang Yang's reform, Shiwu was both the military establishment and the household registration establishment.
If one person breaks the law, if the other families don't expose it, they will be punished!
"With all races mixed together, it may be difficult to accomplish anything in a short time." Zhou Yu hesitated.
"How much time do you need?" Zhang's specialty is in the military, and Zhou Yu is the best candidate because of his delicate mind.
"Three months."
"One month." Yang Zheng raised a finger, "Six hundred troops are left to you to cut through the mess quickly."
"I obey the order!" With Yang Zheng's support, Zhou Yu felt more confident.
"From now on, you will be the private capital, managing the civil affairs in the city. After some time, I will ask for a leader for you."
Du Tong is an official of Yang Zheng, and Qu Chang is an official of the imperial court.
This is a solution that Yang Zheng came up with after several days of hard thinking.
In a previous life, I saw the Battle of Feishui. Fu Jian raised an army to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He recruited more than 30,000 men from wealthy families who were under the age of 20, and ordered all the young men to lead them.
In addition to Zhou Yu's private capital, there is also Zhang Te's Xihe capital.
But now, this official position is only known to Yang Zheng, Zhang Te, and Zhou Yu, and cannot be publicized, otherwise it will attract criticism.
Zhou Yu said gratefully: "General, I will never forget my kindness in promoting him."
Yang Zheng encouraged him again.
We have people, but if we want to fully transform them into strength, we still have to go a long way.
The Qiang people who were moved back were not completely convinced.
They are wild and untamable. After eating and gaining strength, they turn around and want to run away.
However, Yang Zheng had already taken precautions. Han troops and Ji troops patrolled continuously, and no one escaped.
One hundred and thirty-seven Qiang people were tied to wooden stakes on Pohanzheng Street.
This time Yang Zheng showed no mercy. The leader was beheaded, and the followers were given thirty whips.
More than a dozen heads rolled down on the street, and the Qiang people began to become awed.
"This is the first time. Only the first offender will be killed. From now on, anyone who violates my laws will take my sword! If one person makes a mistake, if his colleagues don't expose it, they will all be punished!" Yang Zheng shouted sternly.
After nearly a year in Longxi, the habits of the Qiang people have become clear to me.
The Qiang people are used to being disorganized and extremely united internally, so ordinary methods are useless.
Not only the Qiang people, but also the Han people have thorns on their heads.
We can only use forceful means to deter them and establish prestige.
Prestige, prestige, prestige first and then credibility.
The bloody heads on the ground and the screams of the whipped men made the Qiang people present look fearful.
Regardless of whether it is voluntary or forced, as long as you hold Yang Zheng's bowl, you will be subject to Yang Zheng's control.
In special times, only special means can be used.
Of course, this is only the first step.
In view of the generally low cultural level of people in this era, Yang Zheng erected wooden pillars in various lanes in the city with the words: Those who disobey the law will be killed!
The word "Zhan" is also painted in red, full of murderous intent.
In order to enhance the effect, Yang Zheng ordered the patrolling soldiers to read it loudly.
Since then, the Qiang and Hu tribes have become more obedient.
Zhou Yu's implementation of the Shiwu system also encountered much less resistance.
Most Qiang people are satisfied with just two meals of porridge a day.
Besides, Yang Zheng's decree treats everyone equally, regardless of Han, Qiang, Di and Hu. There is no discrimination, so everyone has become accustomed to it.
Gradually, as long as the Qiang people obey the laws, there will be many benefits.
There are no weapons, no hunger or cold.
I can sleep in the house until dawn.
Have they ever had such a life in Qiang land?
The huge existential crisis overwhelmed them.
For Yang Zheng, the Shiwu system is just the beginning.
After establishing authority, the next step is establishing trust.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government had been torn between foreign relatives and eunuchs, focusing on internal fighting. The country was in decline, dark and decadent, and the border officials appointed were incompetent and greedy.
The generals are cowardly and weak, and the state and county officials take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble for their own benefit. They search and steal, which is worse than encountering prisoners.
The Qiang people do not trust Han officials.
Of course Yang Zheng can spend some time, like Dong Zhuo, to build good relationships with them, cultivate feelings, and enhance trust.
But firstly, the time cost is too high and the effect is mediocre. Secondly, Yang Zheng does not just want to use the Qiang people, but actually transforms them and integrates them into his subordinates.
Furthermore, Jiang Fane's departure was also a small blow to Yang Zheng.
After spending so much time getting married, they parted ways without even caring about them.
Yang Zheng wants to establish a military and political group. It doesn't matter if it is smaller, but the internal cohesion must be strong.
Instead of loosening up the grass-roots team and collapsing at the first touch.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Yang Zheng issued a decree: Anyone who transports stones from the West City to the East City will be rewarded with five pounds of mutton.
Imitate the Qin Dynasty's migration of trees and establish trust.
The expedition to Hexi brought back not only more than 4,500 Qiang people, but also tens of thousands of livestock. Plus the cattle and sheep slaughtered in the city's pastoral camps, they could live a good year.
When the decree was issued, the Qiang people were doubtful.
After all, Yang Zheng's decree often resulted in beheading, which gave rise to fear.
From prestige to trust, it takes a process.
The Han people were the first to react, picked up the stone and ran towards Dongcheng.
The Mi people and the Di people also moved with them.
Yang Zheng fulfilled the decree and gave each household five kilograms of meat.
When the Qiang people saw that the meat was really divided, they became more enthusiastic and started moving rocks.
But there are not many stones left.
Nearly half of the Qiang people did not receive meat.
Proper hunger marketing can help motivate them.
On the last day of the old year, Yang Zheng once again issued a decree that those who cleared the city of snow and ice could receive three pounds of meat.
The weather is cold, some livestock have froze to death, and there is enough meat. This time, it is not a household unit, but a person unit.
The enthusiasm of the residents in the city was instantly aroused, and all men, women, and children took action.
The city was cleared of ice and snow.
All workers received wooden plaques from their respective team leaders, on which were engraved the names of the registered households, two hundred and thirty-seven, four hundred and seventy-four, whether they were male or female, Ding or Ru, clearly and clearly.
Bai Bai, you can get the meat by relying on the wooden sign.
The only thing that Yang Zheng can't stand is that some of the names are really eye-catching.
Di people and Ji people have been Chineseized for a long time, and their names are still quite good.
Zan Heishi and Gong Qianniu can barely make do.
But Yang Zheng really couldn't accept names like Moth to Flame, Milo, and Shaocao.
Since some Qiang people have trouble speaking Chinese, the matter of changing their names can only be discussed later.
After moving rocks and clearing snow, Yang Zheng's authority was completely established.
Generally speaking, it is not difficult to transform with a jujube in one hand and a big stick in the other.
In my previous life in the army, how many rebellious young men were still not submissive after a few months?
Yang Zheng did not have the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and the Qiang people could not remember so many regulations.
Those who disobey the law will be killed!
