Chapter 1556: The Great Unification of the Huns (1)
When Yang Ming saw the look on Juli Lake, he knew there was something going on.
In the past two years of his stay in the Xiongnu, Yang Ye had been carefully observing and scrutinizing the upper echelons of the Xiongnu.
At the beginning, when he came to the Xiongnu, there were only a few people in the entire Xiongnu hierarchy who advocated Sinicization and reform.
Mainly those nobles headed by Julihu. At that time, other Xiongnu nobles were hesitant, hesitant, or even resolutely opposed to the Sinicization reform.
But as time went by, there were more and more supporters of Sinicization in the Huns.
There is no other reason, just because after the reforms in Guli Lake and Hulushe, the Xiongnu's national strength increased, the number of livestock increased, and foreign wars were also won.
Especially the great victory in this Western Expedition allowed the reformists to completely overwhelm the conservatives.
Today's Xiongnu nobles, if they have not memorized a few Han classics, if they do not know Shang Jun, Confucius, and Sun Tzu, then they are low.
As for Han classics such as "Spring and Autumn" and "The Book of Songs", there are almost no people among senior officials who have not read them.
The few scholars who escaped from the Han Dynasty and came to the Huns also had the power to interpret many classics.
Yang Ye is one of them, and he is the most powerful person!
There is no way, he has served as the emperor's servant and received a formal elite education. Unless a doctorate with a thousand stones or more comes here, no one can shake his status.
"The Great Chanyu... The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period is first and foremost the great unification. The great unification has the same writing and the same track, the top and bottom are united in one mind, and the top and bottom are effective..." Yang Ye bowed his hands and bowed: "Now the countries in the Western Regions may have their own affairs. There may be those who listen to the tune but not the propaganda, there may be those who have their own systems and writings, there may even be those who have hidden agendas... If you just tolerate it and let it go, I think there will be disaster!"
"And if the Chanyu issues an order, all countries will be ordered to lord it over the Chanyu, the chariots will run on the same track, the writings will be written in the same language, the laws will be the same, and the countries will be under the same government. The ministers and nobles of all the countries will all be loyal to the Chanyu, and the people of all countries will regard the Chanyu as his leader. Lord, then the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions will all be the subjects of the Shanyu, and the land of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions will all be the land of the Shanyu..."
"In this way, not only will the Shanyu's strength be greatly increased, but also trust among the tribes will be established, just like the story of Lord Shang..."
When Yanggong said this, Guli Lake finally moved.
Shang Jun's reform is now the most deeply studied matter among the upper echelons of the Xiongnu.
The Huns did not miss any possible opportunity and devoted themselves to understanding and studying the great event that happened in China two or three hundred years ago.
The first thing about Shang Jun's reform was Yuan Mu Lixin, which both Gulihu and Hulushe believed deeply.
A country cannot stand without trust!
If you want to change the law and strengthen the country, you must first win the trust of the people!
Therefore, during this western expedition, Julihu made great determination, fought against all opinions, withstood countless pressures, and kept his promise.
Those who have made meritorious deeds in the Western Regions campaign will be rewarded according to the agreed system.
Those who have made great achievements may even be promoted directly to Qu Commander or even Gu Du Hou!
Even the soldiers, civilians and slaves of the Western Regions were treated in this way.
Strong generals must rise in the army, and good ministers must be removed from the tribe!
As a result, countless fierce generals emerged in the Western Expedition army, and there were even strong men who could tear enemies apart with their hands and super generals who charged into battle and could defeat a hundred enemies with one.
In the past Xiongnu Empire, such people almost never appeared.
When the Huns fight, they always gather like birds when they go along, and disperse like clouds when they lose.
What is persistence? Fighting to the death and not retreating? Very few people can do that.
Therefore, when Yang Ye said this, he simply touched the heart of Gouli Lake, which made him immediately overjoyed and paid homage to Yang Ye: "Sir, you are a true countryman! You have given me this good plan. Please accept this offer and pay homage."
…”
This is a technique Julihu learned from several pamphlets of family dialects obtained from the Han Dynasty.
In books such as "Secret Records of Weiyang" and "Secret Stories of Chu and Han", every meeting between the monarch and his ministers begins like this.
Of course, Juli Lake did not deceive Yang Ye. He was indeed sincere. He said sincerely: "Sir, please help me, the Huns, to do this great undertaking..."
When Yang Ming saw it, he quickly pretended to be moved and said, "Chanyu, please get up quickly..."
With tears in his eyes, he was a little hesitant, but also a little guilty. His expression was very good, and he struggled to say: "The Shanyu and Zuo Tushe are not mean to me, but..."
He lowered his head and sighed: "I have received the favor of the emperor, and I have sworn long ago that I will live up to the Han family. Although I have been framed by villains and am living in your country, the emperor of China has never shown mercy to me. I really dare not betray my master... Now...
Chanyu, Zuo Tushe has been suffering a lot for painting. If I draw more detailed plans for Shanyu, I fear that I will not be able to face my ancestors after death. I can only cover my face with my hair, and my soul will wander in the wilderness forever.
rest in peace……"
Hu Lushe and Gulihu looked at each other after hearing this.
What they valued most was this characteristic of Yang Ming.
Although he was framed and forced into exile, he never forgot his old grudges. Although he was in the Xiongnu and subjected to various temptations and draws, he could still stick to his true heart.
Once such talents are conquered, they will serve them wholeheartedly.
He will work hard and devote himself wholeheartedly to the revival of the Xiongnu.
Therefore, Hu Lushe suddenly sighed and said to Yang Ming: "Sir... I have something that I don't want to tell you, but I really can't bear to see you continue to be deceived by the hypocritical benevolence and righteousness of the Han Dynasty emperor, so I can't."
Did not say……"
He squeezed out a few tears and said to Yang Ming: "The spy sent by this king to the Han Dynasty received news not long ago... Mr.'s family, wife and children were executed by Han Dynasty officials in Hanzhong in September last year...
"
"Poor sir, the youngest son was only eight years old, but he was still killed by officials..."
"Ah..." Yang Ming heard this and could hardly stand, and his body started to sway: "Why? Why?"
The look on his face was even more horrifyingly distorted. Tears were streaming down his eyes. He clenched his fists, looked at Hu Lushe, and asked, "Why? I didn't betray Han, so why did Han betray me?"
Hu Lushe and Gulihu looked at each other, and the last doubts in their hearts were relieved.
Because such expressions, inner activities and language cannot be faked.
At least, Hu Lushe and Julihu believed that this could not be false!
But how did they know that Yang Ye had been preparing for today for more than a thousand days. As early as the fifth year of Yuande, during the Battle of Gaoque, he had already practiced it countless times in Weiyang Palace.
During the days since he came to the Huns, he would hypnotize himself every night just for this moment and to make the Huns completely believe in him.
As for...
His family, wife and children...
He is not from Hanzhong at all, he is from Yingchuan!
Therefore, what the Huns saw and inquired about was a smoke bomb that the emperor had told him a long time ago.
