2552. Chapter 2552 The secret of the prince and queen 12
Historically, the disadvantage of population is the fundamental reason why ethnic minorities cannot truly enter the Central Plains.
After the chaos in the Jin Dynasty, the population in the north dropped sharply, but even so, according to the number of household registrations, the population of Han nationality was about 10 million.
Judging from the household registration management information submitted by the Ministry of Revenue, the distribution of other ethnic minorities is as follows:
There were 800,000 Qiang, Di and Xiongnu in Shaanxi, while the local Han population had only 800,000 fled due to war;
Shanxi is the world of the Xiongnu Jie tribes and Xianbei tribes, with as many as 800,000, and there are only 1 million Han people remaining in the local area;
There should be 800,000 Xianbei people in Hebei, 150,000 people, and the local Han population is only 1.5 million;
As for the Henan-Shandong area, the Han people were mainly Han people, with an absolute population advantage, while the Xianbei people who moved here mainly relied on the 50 stones of rented rice delivered by each Han family to survive;
The eastern part of Gansu is the Xianbei, Qiang, and Di people. The Han people account for about two-fifths;
Ningxia and Inner Mongolia are basically Xianbei people, with more than 1.2 million people;
The Xianbei and Han people in western Liaoning accounted for half, 200,000 to 300,000 each;
There were about 1 million Han people in Liaodong and 500,000 Han people in Korea;
...
Even if all the Xianbei people were added together, it would only be three to five million. Moreover, especially in Qingzhou, even some Xianbei people were sinicized.
At this time, after dozens or hundreds of years of development, the Xianbei people had reached a very prosperous level. However, they had to fight against the 10 million Han people with three or four million; this did not add to the Han people in the south.
If the Xianbei people are good at fighting, can they reach the point of unifying the world?
However, the nobles would never consider these situations. What they thought was that the Xianbei cavalry was invincible, and the Han people had to be slaves. If they were not slaves, they would just kill them.
However, when facing Han people who are more than N times more people than them, how can they kill them all?
If we cannot kill them all, then there is only that result: one is to assimilate others! Instead, it is to assimilate others. However, how can the northern country without any cultural foundation be assimilated to assimilate the civilized Central Plains with a population of 10 to 20 million?
