"Your Majesty, I think it is possible to improve the system of prefectures and counties in China and move them to the Xiongnu..." A slightly fat middle-aged man said: "In my humble opinion, this may be a solution that can be solved once and for all...
"
Liu Che turned his head and looked at this person.
This person's surname is Gongsun, and his given name is Gui.
Yes, you read that right, he was the mastermind of Liu Wu, the former king of Liang, and the mastermind of the assassination of Yuan Ang in history.
But now, history has changed beyond recognition.
Liang Wang Liu Wu no longer had any thoughts of coveting the throne, but instead focused on arranging the way out for his precious sons.
In this way, Gongsun Gui and his good friend Yang Sheng will be useless as heroes.
Among them, Yang Sheng returned to his hometown to teach, but Gongsun Gui did not give up and asked Liang Wang Liu Wu for a recommendation. Then he came to Lantai and started from the lowest level of Shangshu Lang.
Now, he has climbed to the position of Shangshu's right servant, and has even been included in the list of ministers.
In other words, if Liu Che becomes the heir apparent now, he can enter the prince's palace and start a journey to the palace, starting from the sacrifice of others.
However, that is impossible.
Within twenty years, Liu Che would not consider establishing a heir apparent.
On the other hand, Gongsun Gui, although he was an official fan, was very ambitious.
But correspondingly, his abilities, skills and vision are all good.
After all, this is the powerful man who once defeated Mei Cheng and Zhuang Ji!
"County?" Liu Che looked at Gongsun Gui with a smile on his face: "Please tell me what you think..."
Gongsun Gui said: "Reporting to your majesty, I read the forbidden files and found that the Huns were a society with towns as units and clans as communities. Therefore, I feel that we can start from this aspect to organize the tribes that will surrender in the future.
, all the people are compiled into the same household, and the tribes are replaced by the Chinese system according to the surname and blood lineage. For example, the Loufang tribe can be called Loufan County; the Baiyang tribe can be called Baiyang County..."
Liu Che smiled with satisfaction as he listened.
Isn't this the original version of the Eight Banners system of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in later generations?
The Manchu Qing regime, relying on the Eight Banners system, the reduction policy, and the wooing of upper-class Mongolian princes, completely domesticated the grassland peoples for the first time.
However, Liu Che did not intend to learn this system.
The reason is very simple. The Eight Banners system only restrained the Mongolian minions, but it did not assimilate them. Considering the urine of the Manchus, this is normal. After all, the Manchu emperor himself did not want the Eight Banners to assimilate with the Xia, and deliberately
He emphasized many ancestral systems and tried every means to avoid assimilation by the Han people.
But Liu Che is different.
Whether inside or outside the Great Wall, this is the territory of Zhu Xia and is sacred and indivisible.
Playing colonial tricks on your own country is not smart, it is stupid.
How did China develop from a small tribe of hundreds of people on the high loess slopes to today, dominating East Asia and becoming the only beacon of civilization in the known world?
It relies on strong assimilation ability and unparalleled farming technology.
The ancestors led the ancestors, fought against obstacles, fought against the sky, the earth, and people, and finally left the current huge territory and infinite population to future generations.
Thinking of this, Liu Che raised his hand and said: "Although your proposal is good, you have forgotten an important principle..."
"I am not binding the Huns..." Liu Che stood up and said.
If it is a fetter, then naturally, while giving the puppet Shanyu a certain degree of autonomy, he can be enslaved and exploited economically and politically.
For example, Liu Che could even ask the Xiongnu on the grassland to pay regular tribute of huge amounts of livestock in the future.
As long as the Han army remains strong and invincible, this kind of business without capital can continue.
Just like the later American emperor, he strengthened the Middle East and forced the countries in the Middle East to endorse his petrodollar policy.
Anyone who dares to settle oil trade without US dollars is waiting to be torn apart by him!
But such an approach has hidden dangers after all.
Once that powerful empire declines, it is likely to be counterattacked.
Not to mention that since ancient times, the favorite thing of the people who lead the bow is backlash.
In the six years since Liu Che took the throne, not a day goes by without him thinking about how to treat the grassland, how to rule and control it?
He has thought about almost all possible options and choices.
Liu Che even deduced the option of using iron and blood to cleanse the entire grassland, and then exile the criminals and prisoners of the Han family.
Liu Che even designed a massacre plan called "The sword must go too far, and the man must go too far."
However, let's not say that although the current large-scale extermination plan is highly executable, it is simply impossible.
Even if it’s done, so what?
As long as Liu Che cannot solve the survival problems and challenges faced by the grassland people themselves, then the threat to the grassland will not be eliminated.
What if cruel and terrifying methods were used to cleanse the entire grassland, and even replace the grassland peoples.
However, peace can only be maintained for 30 to 50 years at most. After 30 to 50 years, the threat will definitely return.
Even if the Han Dynasty enters a more advanced stage of civilization in the future and embarks on the road of roaring steam, this grassland will be entangled there forever like scabies. It will even become a source of trouble and pain for future generations.
Therefore, regarding the grasslands, the Xiongnu, and the people who lead the bow, Liu Che must think about the problem from a different angle.
Since as long as the living environment of the grassland does not change and the environment faced by the people who lead the bow does not change, the grassland people will always look at the Great Wall with covetous eyes.
Then, the only way to improve the living difficulties faced by nomadic people is to improve them.
Lou Fan and Zhong Yongjun are Liu Che’s two experiments.
The former is to experiment with the development path of the people under the settlement model.
The latter experimented with the changes of the people who recognized the culture but still maintained the nomadic tradition.
The purpose of both experiments is the same, to verify whether nomadic people can coexist with agricultural civilization.
If successful, then the grassland problem can be easily solved.
There is no need for bloodbath and massacre, nor is there any need for slavery and brainwashing.
Just relying on the promise of "I am the Chanyu of heaven, and I will grant you and others an eternal escape from the sea of suffering", there will be countless tribes and herdsmen crying for their mothers to embrace the thick thighs of the Han Dynasty.
Maybe even the four major clans of Shan Yuting would come over and kneel down to lick him.
As for the Huns, or the people who draw bows, are they willing to become part of the Xia? Or, conversely, will China accept these people who draw bows, barbarians with left skirts and left skirts as their compatriots?
This is nothing to worry about.
because……
Liu Che looked at Gongsun Gui and the ministers, and slowly said: "I, as ordered by Heaven, protect the people of Xia!"
Liu Che drew out his Emperor's Sword and said: "Who are the Xia people? The Xuanyuan family, the Shennong family, the Fuxi family, the Shaohao family..."
In ancient times, in the wilderness.
Several tribes that thrived on the land of China met at the Yellow River.
From then on, they blended with each other and gave birth to the Xia.
Zhu in Zhu Xia is originally a plural number.
The totems of Zhu Xia are also the fusion of the totems of various clans.
The dragon and phoenix tortoise have since become the sacred beasts of all Xia.
The most important thing is that culture...
Hongshan Culture, Yiluo Culture, Dawenkou Culture, and Yangshao Culture intersected with each other over a long period of time, and China was finally born.
In later generations, there was enough archaeological evidence to prove that these ancestors distributed throughout China had communicated and blended.
Therefore, China's ancestors not only cut down mountains and destroyed temples, but also destroyed countless ancient peoples and their civilizations in the process of conquest. They were also like sponges, absorbing the essence of the culture and civilization of these ancient ancestors.
, inhaled into one's own body.
Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.
From ancient times to the present, and into the future, the civilizations of the Xia Dynasty have been actively or passively absorbing beneficial nutrients from the outside world, other nations and civilizations, nourishing and nourishing themselves, and strengthening themselves.
Therefore, in Liu Che's eyes, it is best to assimilate the Huns or the nomads on the grasslands.
Let them become new members of the Zhuxia nation.
This is not something that has never happened before.
Even in ancient times, the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty taught and educated the ancestors of the nomads.
During the period of prosperity of Yin Shang and Zong Zhou, the ancestors of the nomadic people were canonized and even fettered by Yin Shang and Zong Zhou.
The ancient Guzhu Kingdom even controlled the grasslands for hundreds of years as an agent of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
And Liu Che is now preparing to take the Yi Gong Min, a small friend who passed by Zhu Xia in ancient times, for his own use.
Moreover, the conditions are ripe.
Lou's annoying experiment has entered its second stage.
As long as this stage can be overcome, it can be proved that farming and nomadic life can complement each other.
Moreover, the settled herdsmen have changed from dangerous uncontrollable factors to completely controllable subjects.
These people will also pay taxes and serve the Han Empire.
Therefore, Liu Che would never play Eight Banners or colonize on the grassland.
That will only make you happy for a while, but it will create long-term hidden dangers.
Of course, these things are just a beautiful fantasy.
In the future, there are still difficult practices waiting for the Han monarchs and the Xia people.
But as long as we can assimilate the people on the grassland, even half, even one-third, or one-fourth, it will be enough!
Because the remaining die-hards are neither willing to admit that they are Chinese nor willing to kneel down and die, so we can only send the army to kill them all!
But, generally speaking, this is impossible.
When attacking a farming country, it may happen that the regular army is defeated, only to be revolted by a group of peasants, causing them to suffer an embarrassing situation.
However, on the grassland, as long as the main force of the Huns cavalry is defeated, other tribes and even the Huns themselves will kneel down and wait for their fate.
Of course, Gongsun Gui's suggestions are not completely useless.
Liu Che sat down and said: "I plan to call the Hejian and New Qinzhong Liangzhou after the Battle of Gaoque..."
The grassland is really vast.
China's county-level administrative units are simply not adequate in the vast and sparsely populated grasslands.
Therefore, the resurrection of the state system is certain. Moreover, Liu Che has already been making preparations for the establishment of the state system.
Once Liangzhou is established, it will definitely need a large number of officials.
Moreover, it cannot be a novice. It is also difficult for newbies to get out in the local area.
so……
"If you are willing, you can write a report and give it to the minister, and I will arrange a position for you as appropriate..." Liu Che said seriously: "If you have any suggestions or ideas for the Xiongnu, you can also give them to me.
I will write a report and I will delegate the experimental tasks as appropriate..."
I want to subdue the people who lead the bow and turn the barbarians into summer.
Naturally, it cannot be done with just one or two experimental groups.
In Liu Che's opinion, the more such experimental groups there should be, the better.
Not afraid of making mistakes, not afraid of failure, just afraid that no one will be willing to practice.
Anyway, didn't Zhi say in the report that tens of thousands of prisoners were captured this time, and the number of prisoners on the Chariot General's side was still twice as many as his?
There are so many samples, enough for the elites of the Han family to conduct dozens of experiments in the Riverlands.
After hearing this, Gongsun Gui immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go to Liangzhou as an order for a county and a Xiongnu tribe to conduct my experiments..."
Gongsun Gui is a smart man, so he naturally knows that this is a golden opportunity!
I think back when Xinhua City was first established, it was just a small, low, bitter and cold place.
The current governor of Anton, Bo Shi, was first sent there, and his position was only Xinhualing and concurrently serving as the guardian of the school, with a rank higher than a thousand stones.
But what now?
Showing someone's title can scare people to death.
Governor of the Andong Protectorate of the Great Han Dynasty, general of the Protector Army, and governor of Huaihua County!
Any one of them has a territory of two thousand stones, and the three combined into one, it is far beyond the ordinary territory. As long as he resigns and returns to the capital, he will at least be the ninth minister, and he will most likely even take over the position of general.
It only took Bo Shi just over four years to complete all this, which is extremely fast!
What's more important is that the whole world feels that this disciple of Zhihou is worthy of his title.
Gongsun Gui was certainly an extremely ambitious person.
He resolutely asked King Liang to recommend him to the court because he wanted to move to a bigger stage, but King Liang could no longer provide him with such a stage.
You know, the price he paid for his request was very high.
His good friend Yang Sheng went home to teach, and the King of Liang gave him a full 10 million yuan as a reward.
It was enough for Yang Sheng to open a large-scale academy in his hometown.
But Gongsun Gui didn't want to spend the rest of his life in obscurity.
He chose to come to Lantai, started from the grassroots level, and climbed to the position of Shangshu Youpushe. To some extent, the authority of his position was no less than that of Jiuqing.
But he knew that he had reached the top.
Lantai, as long as Ji An does not want to move, no one can take Ji An's position.
With a loyal minister, a loyal confidant, and a reputation for loyalty, who can compete with him?
In Lantai, except for Shangshu Ling, other official positions have no direct decision-making power.
Therefore, Gongsun Gui himself wants to change the map.
And Liangzhou, which is about to be established, is undoubtedly the second Xinhua of the Han family, the second Anton.
Gongsun Gui believed that as long as he worked hard, he would one day be able to come back in glory.
There are many Lantai ministers who have the same idea as him.
Lantai Shangshu is the bureaucrat in the Han family who has the most information and access to information.
Naturally, they can easily judge based on the existing information that in the future, the new shortcut for promotion will be in Liangzhou.
As long as they make achievements, not to mention copying Bo Shi's miracles, they can at least complete the most important transformation in their career.
