Fifty thousand rebel family members, boys no taller than a cart wheel, and women, totaled almost fifty thousand people. The imperial court was bleeding heavily, and almost all of them were settled in Gyeonggi Province, and the main ones were in Bianliang.
Some people may think that this is very risky, and even the cabinet has said so. Zhao Xi decided on this matter and requested that all of them be resettled in Gyeonggi Province.
No one understands the assimilation power of the Central Plains culture better than Zhao Xi. Even if ethnic groups come to the Central Plains, they are still Central Plains people in the end, let alone women and children?
The Khitan people treat the death of their loved ones completely differently than those in the Central Plains. For them, survival is their first need.
Moreover, it is not right that the Bei Liao rebels are just like babies. It should be said that the family members of the Bei Liao rebels are just like babies, and they are only for the auxiliary cavalry such as Tubo, Dangxiang, and Uighurs.
Only by killing enemies and making meritorious deeds can you achieve a happy life.
When Xixia was annihilated, there were no rebels in Xixia. After regaining the entire Xixia, the surrender of the original Xixia troops was purely a surrender. After being incorporated into the governance of the country, although life has changed, there is still a contrast.
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
"Fanqi is a bit scrambling. Even the so-called nobles of Xixia are looking for help from court officials, hoping that their nephews will also have the opportunity to become fanqi..."
"After the recovery of Xixia, the imperial court gave rewards and no hereditary claims. In other words, after this generation passed away, they were just civilians. As for the scientific examination, who believed that the Xixia people could pass the imperial examination? A failed scholar
You can be a master in Xixia, how can the Xixia people be civilized?"
"For the long-term plan, the Xixia people also know that the dynasty will eventually regain Yanyun, and fighting for rewards on the battlefield is the only way for these people to continue to enjoy the treatment of the nobility."
"What Yelu Yixin's rebels did actually played a positive role in recruiting the imperial cavalry...the officials had far-reaching concerns!"
It feels really good to be in the cabinet of the Song Dynasty and talk about the fate of those people who were originally worried about so casually. The feeling of joy in the hearts of the cabinet is really indescribable.
We all have experienced the whole process, so we all have this kind of perception...it's really different.
"The Imperial Cavalry is mainly composed of civilians, and the noble Cavalry... the court has really not considered. Recruiting the original Xixia nobles may cause certain troubles for the management of the Imperial Cavalry.
"
"The imperial cavalry is based on ability, regardless of origin, and the title is determined by ability. If Xixia nobles are recruited, there is likely to be a chaotic situation on the issue of superiority and inferiority."
Han Zhen was a little worried. After all, whether it was Xixia or the imperial dynasty, the boundaries between nobles and commoners were still very clear.
This is a boundary that any dynasty should maintain.
"This is the Great Song Dynasty Hall! Could it be that the promotion system of the Great Song Dynasty military generals will be changed because of the so-called down-and-out nobles of Xixia?"
What Zhang Dun said is correct or not. Military generals in the dynasty are also hereditary. The Gao family, the Cao family, the Shi family, including the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and even Di Qing's son are all hereditary military commanders.
Even in the new army, it is not entirely based on ability. However, hereditary generals will hold some non-combat sequence or auxiliary team positions due to ability issues.
As for the cavalry, they fully implemented the principle of putting only those with ability first. After all, when the dynasty chooses warriors for the cavalry, they will first choose among the foreign civilians.
These people had relatively no hatred for the Song Dynasty and were easily civilized.
Slaves, craftsmen, and even herdsmen are certainly not comparable to cavalry in terms of treatment.
Starting from the new army, the country has attached great importance to the treatment of soldiers in terms of armaments... The current court is not short of money.
"The original principle set by the officials was to use Dangxiang, Tubo and other common people as the source of cavalry. But now the reasons for the old and young in Xixia are also very good."
"Look at these excerpts... The imperial court should treat everyone equally, which is the foundation and manifestation of the king's way..."
These are all memorials submitted to the imperial court by those who participate in the discussion of state affairs and are prepared to be submitted to the imperial court for discussion this year.
There is no way to avoid the cabinet.
"The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten! For the sake of some petty profit, you forget your own position!"
"The bill was mentioned at the court meeting. It is difficult to determine whether it will be passed...~"
After several years, the surrendered Xixia nobles seemed to be very familiar with the system of the dynasty and knew how to borrow the system.
Not to mention those in the northwest who were involved in political affairs who were originally connected with the party members, even the current officials in Bianliang are not sure of their position.
Even Jinghu, Dali Road in the southwest, will express its views on this issue as a plan for local peace and stability.
"Compatibility between states and dynasties has become a general trend, and this cannot be hindered by the cabinet. Now it is the northwest, southwest and Jinghu. When Yanyun is recovered in the future and the territory is further expanded, the court will also face such problems."
"The tribal nobles of Northern Liao, not only the Khitans, but also Xi, Shiwei, and the original Bohai Kingdom, will all have demands. Perhaps, the imperial court should issue a regulation on this kind of situation."
Such a charter is not something that the cabinet can decide on.
The cabinet's work is authorized by the official, as stipulated in the three-level decision-making system. The cabinet's authority is limited to handling daily government affairs within the scope of official authorization. In special times, the official needs to authorize again.
Moreover, all memorials and matters decided by the cabinet need to be submitted to the officials for approval.
The issue of how to resettle foreigners was formulated by the officials in the early stage. Now if the cabinet wants to get regulations for the future, it naturally needs to make it clear to the officials.
"If you have a household registration in the Song Dynasty and pay taxes for the Song Dynasty, you are a person from the Song Dynasty. Since you are determined to open up territory for the Song Dynasty, the court should not refuse. As for the issue of meritorious titles... I mentioned the idea of military merit titles some time ago.
, the cabinet can try to improve it."
"It is well known that the territory of Bei Liao is vast, but the north of Yinshan Mountain in Yanshan is still suitable for grazing. The cabinet can try to classify the jurisdiction of Bei Liao into farmland and pastoral areas, set certain standards, and reward those who have made contributions.
.”
"As for the cavalry, cavalry is always not enough when the state is fighting against the Liao Dynasty. The shortcomings of chariots fighting on the plains must be supplemented by cavalry. In this way, we can avoid the cavalry's evasive fighting style after the state goes north."
"For the dynasty, recovering Yanyun and even further expanding the territory of the Song Dynasty will be the focus of the court in the future. I think the court can make some concessions on money, food, and the names of those nominal lords and nobles...
····”
After so many years of exposure, Zhao Xi felt that the cabinet should understand what he meant. To put it bluntly, don't take those false names too seriously... war requires cannon fodder.
Nowadays, in the Song Dynasty, those so-called aristocratic titles are really not as valuable as a village chief participating in politics. How are the titles of some remote leaders different from the rewards of Ji Dizhou in the early years?
