The Qiang and Hu tribes are nomadic, and they have many cattle, sheep, and horses. Even if they donate some of them, they will increase in number in a year or two.
As long as there are water plants, cows, horses and ewes, they can continue to multiply.
Therefore, when they said they were willing to sacrifice their cattle, sheep, and horses, within a short time, the number of war horses reached 50,000, and the number of cattle, sheep, and livestock reached hundreds of thousands.
Your Highness and all the generals are very excited.
In their view, even if these Qiang people were accepted as Han people, many miscellaneous things would have to be resolved, and they might still rebel.
At present, they are willing to exchange livestock for freedom, it is better to agree to expand their strength.
As long as they have horses, they can have a powerful cavalry army, and they can gallop across the Central Plains, compete for deer in the Central Plains, make contributions to the revival of the Han Dynasty, and achieve immortal feats.
But how could Fengzhou only care about this little livestock?
What he wants is a tribe that can continuously provide him with cattle, sheep and horses. What he wants is to bring chaos to the current aristocratic-herder class of the nomadic tribes and to re-cultivate new nomadic rulers.
And it is best if this group of rulers can completely push the original rulers into the garbage heap of history.
"I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. Although I want your livestock and want you to join the Han Dynasty, I know that nothing can be done overnight and must be implemented step by step, otherwise big troubles will occur." Feng Zhou laughed.
road.
When he said this, everyone was puzzled, and then he was overjoyed.
"Does the emperor want us to send troops to help him fight the war?"
"The emperor doesn't want our cattle, sheep and horses? But he wants our warriors?"
"If the soldiers are temporarily under the command of the emperor, it would be okay to help them conquer the world. When they come back in the future, they will all be brave and capable warriors, which will help us expand our strength!"
"It seems that this emperor is only thinking about making achievements and opening up new territories. He only has an army in his eyes and only fights."
"It would be great if the emperor only thinks about this and uses his hands to cultivate our grassland warriors."
Not only these Qiang leaders thought so, but also the civil servants and generals above the main hall thought so. Except for Zhuge Liang and others who were angry with him, everyone else showed puzzled expressions.
"Your Majesty, you have said this over and over again. What do you mean?"
"Does Your Majesty want them to become Chinese citizens, or do you just want their livestock?"
Only Zhuge Liang was at ease, sitting peacefully in his position as prime minister, with the expression on his face not changing at all.
Finally, a Qiang leader boldly asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder how to implement it step by step?"
"That's a good question!" Feng Zhou walked up to the Qiang leader, patted his shoulder gently, and asked, "What's your name?"
Feng Zhou slapped him like this, and the Qiang leader felt that the bones in his body were a few taels lighter. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the younger one is the chief of the Haiqu Qiang tribe. His name is Tadun."
"Tadun." Feng Zhou smiled slightly. This name was not very good. More than ten years ago, Cao Cao raided Karasuma in the north and killed a tribal leader named Tadun.
Unexpectedly, after many years, there was also a Qiang named Tadun.
Feng Zhou flashed this idea and said with a smile: "What I mean is very simple. Your tribe only needs to send one-third of the herdsmen into Liangzhou to practice farming. The Han officials will rule, and the remaining herdsmen will still live on the grassland.
, are under your command, but in order to Chineseize you, I ask you to draw one child under the age of twelve from each family of the remaining herdsmen, and one boy under the age of eighteen from every three families, to come to me, so that I can be a teacher to others.
, I love teaching and educating people the most, and I will definitely be able to educate the children of your tribe into the pillars of the Han Dynasty, what do you think?"
When Tadun heard this, he was surprised that only one-third of the herdsmen were handed over. As for the remaining herdsmen, children under the age of twelve were selected to undergo so-called "Chinese education" in front of the emperor.
Dun was even more overjoyed. This would help reduce the burden on their tribe, and when these children grow up, whether they return to the tribe or serve as officials in the court, they will be psychologically biased toward their tribe.
It was a bit painful to hand over one-third of the herdsmen, but it was better than being wiped out by the entire tribe. This was simply a great favor from the emperor. He immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Tadun will obey your Majesty's arrangements."
This is really another village where everything is bright and clear.
In a tribe, there are nobles and common people. The nobles have more cattle and sheep, while the common people have fewer cattle and sheep. However, they have no restraint in giving birth to children. Therefore, relatively speaking, the more children the common people and herders have, the harder their lives will be. If they are allowed to
Entrusting the child to the Han emperor to help support him was a dream come true, and they would not refuse.
Feng Zhou looked at the other Qiang leaders: "Chief Tadun has agreed, what are your opinions?"
A leader raised his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the cattle, sheep and horses we mentioned just now..."
Feng Zhou said calmly: "I heard that your rule is to respect strength. My general Hussar conquered Liangzhou and became your ruler. Of course he must hand over the cattle, sheep and horses that should be handed over. You just
Could it be that his contribution is fake?"
"Hiss..." The leader wanted to slap himself.
Why are you talking too much? If you don’t say anything, everyone might get confused. If you mention it like this, you have to add to the amount you just mentioned,
Handing over one-third of the herdsmen, as well as a certain amount of cattle, sheep and horses, in exchange for the emperor's acquiescence to his tribe, hey, this is better than going bankrupt after the failure of the Hexi battle with the Wei Dynasty.
So he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise, our tribe is willing to obey your Majesty's arrangements."
Feng Zhou nodded and said calmly: "Well, whether you are willing or unwilling, I will do it. But if you refuse, I will soon send my army westward to stop the war with killing."
After hearing the four words "kill to end war", a leader quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Chenghai tribe is willing to obey your Majesty's arrangements!"
"The Long Sword Tribe is also willing to obey His Majesty's arrangements!"
"The Naiyi tribe is also willing to obey His Majesty's arrangements!"
For a time, all the leaders agreed one after another. Although their rights were poorly exploited, they could not be beaten after all. At present, they only paid a certain price, but their rights have not shrunk. It seems that the emperor still recognizes their tribal rule. In this case,
Then don't be ignorant.
Besides, the current emperor not only has a mighty general like Ma Chao, but also a legendary wise man like Zhuge Liang. In addition, this emperor has extraordinary martial arts and magical powers. Maybe you can get benefits by following him.
Woolen cloth,
Seeing that the leaders agreed, Feng Zhou showed a satisfied smile on his face.
The forces of these Qiang leaders are distributed along the Yellow River and Qinghai Lake. The combined land they occupy is equivalent to three counties, and the combined population under their rule is as many as three to four hundred thousand.
Once the Fengzhou strategy is carried out, Liangzhou will immediately increase its population by more than 100,000, and more than hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses. They will be freed from the rule of tribal leaders. Han officials will have many ways to obtain those cattle, sheep and horses.
As for those children under the age of twelve and teenagers under the age of eighteen, once they come under Feng Zhou's command, Feng Zhou has many ways to transform them into a good man of the Han family who is educated, ideal, brave and good at fighting.
Selecting the most Chinese people and returning to their original tribes will immediately make them feel out of place. When the time comes, Feng Zhou will take the opportunity to sit in for them and let them gain the right to rule the tribe and fall under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, Fengzhou also has other means to carry out simultaneously, which greatly enhances their initiative in internal Chineseization.
He strived to spend decades to completely Chineseize these Qiang people.
This was something that neither the Jin, Tang, or Song Dynasties had completely accomplished. He wanted to completely conquer the Qiang and Hu a thousand years in advance.
In addition to having enough powerful force in his hands, there is also Zhuge Liang, who is unparalleled in governing the country through the ages, and his familiarity with the talents of the Three Kingdoms era.
I come! I see! I conquer!
Only by conquering the human heart can we gain eternal life!
