Section 524: Protecting the Sima of the Other Ministry
Liu Che called Nangong Xin to meet alone, of course, not just to arrange for Nangong Xin's son to enroll in Taixue.
After gathering his thoughts for a while, Liu Che said to Nangong Xin: "I am meeting Aiqing alone today because I have something to explain to Aiqing..."
"I respectfully listen to the holy will..." Nangong Xin quickly knelt down, prostrated on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
"I will change the Northern Commandant into the Protective Commandant, and the Protective Commandant will form the Protective Army..." Liu Che said slowly.
Nangong Xin lowered his head deeply and did not dare to speak, but his heart was filled with shock.
It has been nearly half a year since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and he also led his army to follow the Han army in military operations in Korea.
Naturally, Nangong Xin also had a preliminary understanding of the military establishment of the Han Dynasty.
The Han army was composed on the basis of Jun-Bu-Qu-Tun-Team-Shi-Wu, and was organized in multiples of 25.
In the most basic situation, a Han army's combat unit "army" has two divisions, ten tunes, twenty tuns, and one hundred teams, 200 to 400 troops, with a total combat strength of 2,000 people.
But this is the most basic situation.
In today's Han Dynasty, with the advancement of combat technology and the development of the art of war.
Both the government and the opposition found that according to the Qin Empire's organization method, the combat effectiveness and deterrence of the army were insufficient.
Therefore, the establishment of each field army is basically over-provisioned.
For example, during the Wu-Chu Rebellion a year ago, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu led thirty-six generals to put down the rebellion.
A general is responsible for at least one army, named so-and-so army.
The number of these generals ranges from more than 10,000 to as few as four to five thousand.
Now, even if the Huyi Army is organized in the most basic way, it still has a field strength of two thousand people!
These are field soldiers, not the Liaodong County soldiers currently in Xinhua City.
The field army of the Han Dynasty...
They were elites who could fight with the Huns, face the Huns cavalry several times their size, and still be able to fight steadily and take cover alternately!
Such an army is placed in Xinhua City...
Nangong Xin just wanted to ask: Are you here to protect me? Or are you putting a knife on my neck?
You know, the entire Yiren tribe only has a population of 250,000 including the old, weak, sick, women and children.
Nangong Xin's attempt to sell iron can bring in at most 20,000 people.
Not to mention the need to pull out 20,000 people, the entire Yiren tribe will be severely damaged. Even if they are pulled out, the only ones who can really fight and charge are only four or five thousand, and among the four or five thousand people,
There are probably only more than 3,000 people with actual combat experience.
The emperor now places an elite force of at least two thousand people, fully armed and familiar with military skills, in Xinhua City.
Nangong Xin has no doubt that such an elite armed force can wipe out his personal guards and direct descendants in a field battle with just one charge. The remaining chickens and dogs will naturally be scattered.
This guarding army is trying to be the supreme emperor!
But what can he do?
Now that we have surrendered and accepted the rule of the Han Dynasty, it is natural for the Han army to station here.
Nangong Xin kowtowed silently, almost as if his heart was bleeding: "Your Majesty Fu Wei, I will obey the decree!"
Liu Che looked at Nangong Xin. He could see the melancholy and doubt on this guy's face without even looking carefully.
He chuckled in his heart.
The Huyi Army's entry into Xinhua City is unstoppable.
Not to mention the salmon gold mine requires a strong armed force to protect and develop it.
Even the immigration plan for Liaodong County and North Korea that started this year also requires a strong enough and quick-response field army to cover and protect in the northeast.
You must know that immigrants are sensitive and suspicious people, and are seriously insecure.
Without stationing heavy troops at the Hao people to isolate the savages from the primitive tribes, it would be difficult for the immigrants to settle down and cultivate the land.
Once people's hearts become unstable and danger arises, many immigrants may choose to flee and return to the Central Plains.
In that case, wouldn't Liu Che's work be in vain?
Therefore, it is not Nangong Xin's turn to object to this matter.
Being able to tell Nangong Xin about this matter is already regarded as the Han Dynasty regime, which values him very much.
Of course, necessary face-saving work still needs to be done.
With a smile on his face, Liu Che helped Nangong Xin up again, held his hand, and said happily: "You can put the overall situation first. I am indeed right about you. You are a truly loyal minister!"
In Nangong's confidence, it was like ten thousand grass and mud horses roaring past.
If possible, he really doesn't want to put the overall situation first, let alone be a loyal minister. He just wants to be a local emperor, king and hegemon among the people, and come to Chang'an to show off his cuteness when he has time, and have a cool time.
It’s just that my arms can’t twist my thighs!
What's more, now that Xinhua City has been built, the leaders within the Yao people no longer necessarily regard him as the only leader.
Many people know that above them, there is a more powerful, rich, domineering and invincible master, the Emperor of Han.
In such a situation, even if Nangong Xin wanted to overturn the table and escape with his clan members, it would be impossible.
The nobles below are not stupid.
How could he follow a master like him who has no future or prospects and run away to a foreign land covered in ice and snow?
With no choice, Nangong Xin could only show a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Your Majesty, I am just doing my duty as a minister..."
Liu Che completely ignored Nangong Xin's expression, held his hand, praised him greatly, and said: "I really saw you right..." After a pause, Liu Che said again: "This guard Yi army is to protect you.
The Han Yi family was established with Qing's clan. I read the history books and found that Qing and other ancestors were tribes that migrated from the land of Qilu in China to the bitter cold land in the east at the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties... Therefore, I think,
, you have no choice but to participate in this protective army!"
Liu Che talked a lot, and Nangong Xin was a little dizzy after listening to it. Before he could react, he cleared his throat and said sternly: "Master Canghai, please accept the title!"
Nangong Xin didn't know what tricks the emperor wanted to play, but he still knelt down and kowtowed three times: "I accept the letter, and my emperor will live forever!"
Liu Che took out the Emperor's Sword from his waist, held it with both hands, put the tip of the sword to the ground, made a pose, and then ordered: "I appoint you as the hereditary Sima of the Protector's Department, and give you the seal and ribbon of the Sima of the Protector's Department.
Two thousand stones will be given to the Sima Official Office of another department, and Canghai Lord's residence will be built by the Shaofu at the location designated by the minister. The Sima Official Office of the other department will be built with the appearance of a county captain, and Canghai Lord's residence will be built as a Marquis of Bilie!"
When Nangong Xin heard this, he suddenly felt that he was not happy, depressed, or worried anymore.
Regardless of what the hereditary guardian Sima does.
Just helping him build official offices and residences in his own territory, such as Chang'an City, is enough for him to enjoy for a few days.
You know, since coming to Chang'an, Nangong Xin has felt more and more that the house he lives in is almost like a crypt where slaves live. He dreams of a house that is as powerful and domineering, comfortable and beautiful as Anyi.
.
Liu Che looked at Nangong Xin and nodded with satisfaction.
If you hit a stick, you will definitely get a sweet date.
Otherwise, who would be willing to sacrifice their life for you?
Besides, this Sima of the Huyi Department is a big trap!
In the military establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Sima of the other departments meant the logistics and auxiliary troops.
Nangong Xin became the Sima of this hereditary Hu Hao branch, which meant that he had to bear the responsibility for the logistics, support and supplies of the Hu Hao army on the Hao people's territory.
To put it simply, the Yi people had to bear the military expenses of the Han army's garrison.
At the very least, you have to bear half of it.
However, this is normal.
In later generations, the American Empire did not spend even half a penny on military expenditures on its garrisons in Neon, Bangzi and Germany, and even made a lot of money!
Of course, Liu Che would not let Nangong Xin suffer from this loss. To be precise, he would not let the Nangong family suffer.
Although I say it with my mouth, I think in my heart that I am talking about ethnic integration.
But Liu Che knew very well that ethnic integration is not something you can do if you want to. Farming ethnic groups with the same culture and race are better off, but hunting and nomadic ethnic groups want to integrate, but it is extremely difficult.
An issue of identity and belonging requires more than ten to twenty years, or even one generation of cultivation.
Since stupid methods won't work, we can only use simple and crude methods.
This method is to create status disparities and income conflicts.
Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.
Even in later generations, when nationalism was prevalent, there were still a large group of people who worked hard, spent time and money, and desperately wanted to immigrate to Omi.
Why?
Isn’t it because Omi is rich, rich and has a high income? It is said that the income from washing dishes is comparable to that of white-collar workers in China?
In the same way, as long as you let people know that if you are a person, you will have no money, you will be exploited, and you will have a low status. If you are a Han, you will be proud, rich, and protected.
As long as they are not stupid, there will soon be people crying and begging for naturalization. (To be continued.)
