Chapter 511 The barbarians fear majesty but not virtuous
Chapter 511 Barbarians fear power and are not moral
The attack on Liangzhou and the power to govern Liangzhou were once again handed over to Liu Cheng by Dong Zhuo.
This was already determined when the plan was made.
Dong Zhuo was born in Liangzhou and rose to prominence in Liangzhou. As a Liangzhou native, he knew better than the average person how serious and intractable the problems in Liangzhou were.
We also know how much blood Liangzhou let the big man shed before.
He could see this situation, but he couldn't think of a way to completely solve it.
This is really not easy.
If it was easy, I don’t know if I have been putting it off until now...
Let him do it himself. He doesn't have the energy or ability.
Fortunately, he has a good grandson-in-law.
He is always very resourceful and has accomplished many things.
By handing Liangzhou into his hands, he might be able to solve it perfectly...
Not to mention that it can keep Liangzhou from chaos for fifty or thirty years.
Even if there is no chaos for ten years, Dong Zhuo is already very happy...
In the court, there was basically no opinion on these matters.
However, some people took the opportunity to quietly advise Dong Zhuo.
Remind Dong Zhuo not to delegate power too much.
Although Uncle Liu Huang is capable and is Dong Zhuo's grandson-in-law, he is still a member of the Han clan and needs to be carefully guarded.
To avoid bad things happening in the future.
Under such circumstances, you still need brothers to fight tigers, so it is best to promote more of your own people.
People who make such suggestions obviously do not know what Dong Zhuo is going through these days and what thoughts are going on in his heart.
I wanted to make suggestions and make some achievements, but I just happened to get stuck in the horse's hooves.
Dong Zhuo didn't bother to investigate whether these people really wanted to say this, or whether they said it after being prompted by others.
Immediately demote the person who said this...
For a while, many people were silent about it.
Some people think Dong Zhuo did the right thing.
But there are also people who are sneering, thinking that Dong Zhuo, who is not prepared to listen to others' advice, will regret it the day he suffers a loss...
These things are so disturbing that they have little to do with the officials who left Guanzhong and went to Liangzhou.
Most of them are very happy.
There are too many talents here in Guanzhong, and many positions are already filled.
They normally stay here in Guanzhong, and it is not easy for them to get promoted.
But now when I go to the newly conquered Liangzhou, the positions will be directly promoted to the next level!
If you do well in Liangzhou from now on, you will be easily promoted.
Although Liangzhou is a little remote, it's a little messy.
But that was all before.
Now, Uncle Liu Huang personally leads the troops to attack Liangzhou and takes charge of the overall situation in Liangzhou, then everything will become different.
They believed that Uncle Liu Huang had this ability.
Can lead everyone to build a different Liangzhou.
Just like when the emperor's uncle brought about earth-shaking changes in Guanzhong in a short period of time!
In this process, they can do practical things, obtain political achievements, and be promoted more quickly...
Here in Liangzhou, Jincheng County, Longxi County, and Hanyang County are basically available.
The soldiers and horses gathered together and prepared to go to Wuwei County.
During this process, the overall process was smooth and no effective resistance was encountered.
After all, the most capable people in Liangzhou are basically under the command of Han Sui and Ma Teng.
This group of people are now dying and suffering.
Some of those who were lucky enough to escape are now frightened.
In addition, Liu Cheng was very strict in restraining his troops.
The burning, killing and looting did not happen at all, and a large number of propaganda talents were sent with the army to promote their policies.
They came on behalf of the Han Dynasty, so there was little resistance.
Very smoothly, I took the land of these three counties into my hands and achieved basic control.
As for Wudu County, they had already captured it before there was any friction with Liangzhou Han Sui and others.
Wudu County is located in the northwest of Hanzhong, bordering Hanzhong County on a large area, and faces Guanzhong in the northeast.
Naturally, I would not let such a place go.
In addition to these four counties, Liangzhou still has Beidi County, Anding County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County at this time.
It is only a matter of time that these six counties are taken down.
Especially Wuwei County.
There are many large armies stationed in Cangcheng and Jincheng County at this time, sharpening their swords.
However, Liu Cheng did not rush to start the war.
He didn't come here to fight.
The most fundamental thing is to solve the Liangzhou problem.
It's not difficult for him to just fight like this.
His mind had already changed after entering Guanzhong.
The main goal is no longer to obtain military merit.
Military merit only needs to reach a certain level. What he needs to pursue is to manage the place under his command well.
Once you conquer a land, you will conquer it.
Farming competition is going on simultaneously.
Play slowly and steadily.
Camp every step of the way.
Only in this way can we move steadily.
It's unlikely that the time will come when he really ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, and his subordinates will have a lot of unresolved problems.
The best time to solve some things is actually at the beginning of the war to fight for the world. If you don't solve it at this time and just try to solve it quickly, it will not be easy to solve it later.
That's because, by that time, the situation had changed again and the pursuits were different.
In troubled times, most people's greatest desire is to live.
For many other things, the tolerance is relatively high.
Moreover, there is no need to worry about them messing up.
Anyway, it's already chaotic enough at this time.
How messy can it be?
As long as he can do these things well, Liu Cheng is convinced that he can definitely surpass many forces in this era!
"Ke De, these barbarians are afraid of power but not moral. You don't need to be too gentle in your treatment of them.
Don't be too polite to these people.
Hit them directly, kill them all properly, and then execute the eleven-day killing order, and these guys will become honest!"
Here in Jincheng, Niu Fu, who came to Jincheng, said this to Liu Cheng.
It is true that he came from Liangzhou, but he was able to be ruthless towards the Qiang people.
After all, these people are not Han Chinese, so there will be no psychological pressure if they are killed.
The Han people are human beings, and these people are barbarians.
Barbarians are not human beings.
This is the inner view of many people in this era.
Liu Cheng naturally knew this, and that was why he had a headache.
The problem of the Qiang people has not been solved for a long time.
In addition to the reason Jia Xu told Liu Cheng before, Liu Cheng also figured out a more profound reason.
The reason is discrimination.
There are many Qiang people and Huns who really want to become Han people.
This wish existed a long time ago.
After all, compared to them, the civilization level of the Han Dynasty can far exceed theirs.
Not only does it have a vast territory, but its combat power is also very powerful, and it can often beat them to the point where they kneel on the ground and call them daddy.
Even now, when the mountains and rivers are shattered and the power of the Han Dynasty is greatly reduced, the more famous separatist forces among the Han Dynasty can suppress each other alone.
Perform a beating.
It's just that the scholars and officials from aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty were very arrogant.
Even if these people kneel on the ground and call them daddy, they still don't want them to become real Han people.
In their view, barbarians are barbarians, and joining them is an insult to them.
This kind of thing may sound a bit outrageous, but in fact, it is very real.
Moreover, everyone takes it for granted.
Otherwise, people like Jia Xu would not mention this matter at all when writing letters and making suggestions to themselves.
In Liu Cheng's view, this is also a point that needs to be resolved.
China, an extremely powerful place, in his view means assimilation.
Things like poems, books, etiquette, etc. are exported to the outside world and exert a subtle influence on the people around them.
Then, turn them into Chinese people.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to expand step by step and eventually reach the vast territory it is now.
This kind of thing has been going on since the beginning.
As a result, some of the proud Han scholar-bureaucrats are now reversing the course of history.
Although Liu Cheng could understand their feelings, there was something wrong with doing so.
Not only scholar-bureaucrats and other scholars, but also many people also have this sentiment.
For example, Niu Fu, who was standing next to him, killed Qiang people without mercy at all.
"Uncle, you can't do this. Fighting all the way through is indeed a pleasure, but it can't fundamentally solve the problem.
When it comes to killing, Duan Xi’s previous killing was very ruthless, but did he really resolve the matter?
Not really.
If it's really solved, we don't need to think about these issues anymore now.
Killing is definitely necessary.
This is a necessary method, but it cannot kill indiscriminately or in large numbers.
Indiscriminate killing and mass killing will not solve the problem.
At least it can't solve the problem from the root.
He has already walked the road for us, and we cannot make the same mistake again."
Niu Fu has a weird temper. If someone else said this at this time, it might make him lose his temper.
But when these words came out of Liu Cheng's mouth, he nodded accordingly.
Although he likes Liu Cheng to call him uncle when everything is fine, he is very convinced of his niece-in-law in his heart.
"Ked, what you said makes sense, but I always feel that it's not as satisfying as fighting all the way through.
These Qiang people are just like those leeks.
After killing one crop, another crop will soon grow up, and you can’t finish killing it, which is a headache..."
As he said this to Liu Cheng, he couldn't help but touch his head.
Then I decided not to participate in this matter.
This thing is too uncomfortable and not enjoyable at all.
Here in Jincheng, there are Orchids from further west. Although they are Hu people, they are full of exotic customs.
Very different from the women from the Central Plains.
Niu Fu felt that it would be better for him to take some time out from his busy schedule to have a quiet chat with them, ask about the customs of the west, and do some cultural integration.
Just now Kede also said that we should have more exchanges with foreign races, not have too many prejudices, promote integration, and assimilate foreign races.
What I am doing now can be regarded as actively responding to Kede's call, personally responding to Kede's policies, and supporting Kede.
This guy Niu Fu is definitely a talent.
Some things that are not on the table can become so refreshing and refined with him, so that they are in line with various policies...
Having made up his mind, Niu Fu suddenly became impatient.
He immediately said goodbye to Liu Cheng and left from here.
Go and implement your own plan...
Holding Hu Ji in his arms, Niu Fu felt that his previous idea was really stupid. He shouldn't have stayed there longer and wasted more time.
This is the place where you should come most.
After personally experiencing the benefits of fusion, he agreed even more with Liu Cheng's previous proposal.
As expected of his niece and son-in-law, he is someone he likes.
What I came up with is great!
Liu Cheng didn't know what this guy was doing, let alone what he was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely get angry and then give him a big old pervert...
"Wen Ruo thinks, how can we do this safely?"
After Niu Fu left, Liu Cheng looked at Xun Yu and asked like this.
Xun Yu had already arrived from Aotou Pass yesterday.
Xun Yu said: "I think what you said before, uncle, is very right. When dealing with the Qiang people, you can't just kill them. This will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In time, there will be troubles of this kind and that."
Killing is a necessary means, but it cannot be the only means.
These people need to be forcibly dispersed.
Let the Qiang and Han people live together.
If necessary, Han people can be moved to Liangzhou from other places, so that the size of the Han people in Liangzhou will greatly exceed that of the Qiang people.
Let Liangzhou be dominated by Han people.
At the same time, the scattered and mixed Qiang people can be combined with the Han people to form villages, allowing them to live and work together.
Perhaps, the customs of the Qiang people can be changed.
Let them wear Chinese clothes, speak Chinese, and learn Han etiquette...
If this continues for a long time, they will no longer have any conflicts..."
Liu Chengdao: "This is indeed very good, but it is still somewhat inadequate and cannot be solved from the root."
Xun Yu watched Liu Cheng stop talking and waited for Liu Cheng to express his thoughts.
Liu Chengdao: "Let them change their surnames to Chinese, celebrate Han festivals, speak Chinese, and learn Chinese characters. Anyone who is willing to change their surnames and speak Chinese can become a true Han."
After becoming Han people, they can have the same rights as Han people, and they will not be treated differently.
Let them completely become Han people."
After Liu Cheng spoke, Xun Yu looked up at Liu Cheng, seeming hesitant to speak.
After a moment, he said: "Uncle Huang's method is good, but I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people..."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "It's okay, no matter how buzzing they are, it won't change the overall situation.
These people are forgetful, and it won't take long for them to forget about it.
People like them just have a mouth and only have one mouth.
Ignore the opinions of such people.
If you ignore it, you will only make yourself more troubled.
Make things a mess.
Then, they will talk non-stop there, criticizing you in various ways, saying why you made things like this, without mentioning their own faults at all...
These people can be called trolls."
When Xun Yu heard what Liu Cheng said, he thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement, feeling that the emperor's uncle was right.
There are indeed many people who, no matter what you do, will tell you how to do things, acting like they know everything, and they will teach you how to do things.
In fact, they don't understand anything.
Thinking about these people will only make things worse.
Liu Cheng smiled and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, we might as well open our minds a little more broadly..."
