If the soldiers are paid enough, they will naturally be able to do nothing wrong. After all, after the war, if you reward your merits, you will definitely get more than if you rob. In troubled times, a small family can still have something.
How many things are there? Do you dare to rob a wealthy family? The owner of the house is sitting across from you drinking tea.
And when the people of the occupied areas saw that these soldiers had such strict military discipline and even took the initiative to do good deeds, how could they not develop a favorable impression of the court and such soldiers?
When the time comes to pay taxes and the like, everyone will naturally be more active, and at the same time, there will be money that can be paid without being robbed.
If enough taxes are paid, the court will naturally have more money as payment.
This is a virtuous cycle.
The military chief secretary will be responsible for explaining this truth clearly. This is the importance of having someone in the military to grasp the idea clearly.
If things go on like this, the common people will no longer regard the army as a ferocious god, but as their own protectors and their own soldiers. Naturally, they will be more willing to send their sons into the army to shine on their families.
The basket is filled with a pot of slurry to welcome the king's master.
Of course, apart from daily training, the Han army does not often appear in the inland capitals of the Han Dynasty. If you want to see the mighty army marching, you can only go to the border areas, but now the border areas
The vast majority of the people in the area... seemed to be the prey of the Han, rather than the people of the Han.
The Qiang people should be considered a very lucky group of people. For hundreds of years, the entire Qiang tribe has been divided. After the establishment of the Later Qin Dynasty, the Nan'an Qiang who have been entrenched in Guanzhong have been completely integrated into the Han people, while the Dengzhi Qiang and the Qiang who have been entrenched in the upper reaches of the Bashu River have
The Dangchang Qiang who were entrenched in Longnan also gradually realized Hanization as the Northern Dynasties expanded their influence. This is why Xiao Mohe had to cross Wudu County for a long time before discovering a large number of villages inhabited by Qiang people, because from Wudu County to the southeast and
In the Northeast, the Qiang people who originally lived in these places have basically become Han or Ba people, and the three have long been indistinguishable from each other.
For example, many of the soldiers in the army who later came from Jincheng to support us have Qiang blood.
The so-called Qiang people in the Han Dynasty now refer to the Qiang people who originally lived in the west and were represented by tribes such as Dangxiang and Dongnu. In history, the Dangxiang people also established a hegemon in the northwest such as Xixia.
However, the current party is still very weak, or in other words, the Qiang people who have retreated to the Huangshui River Basin and are living there are not very powerful. They are all scattered small tribes, otherwise they would not be bullied by Tuyuhun.
Most of the Qiang people have actually integrated with the Han people. In addition, the Qiang people did not object to trade with the Han people before. This allowed the Han court to judge that the Qiang people had indeed quickly accepted Han culture and integrated into the Han system.
among the possibilities.
Therefore, for the Qiang people, the Han Dynasty adopted education and naturalization rather than outright conquest. Only for those indigenous people who had almost no contact with the outside world before and remained in primitive society in terms of ideology, culture, language, etc., could they
Unfortunately, they will become the cheap labor force that the big man needs most now.
The Qiang people will only become the people of the Han Dynasty.
Perhaps this was destined by God, or perhaps it was just Li Xingchen's selfish motives. After all, the Qiang people in later generations have successfully become part of the Chinese nation, while the natives of Nanyang do not have any good descendants.
As a later generation, it is impossible for Li Xingchen's thoughts not to be influenced by later generations.
After entering the land of the Qiang people, Xiao Maha did not deliberately shape the opposition between the two sides.
In fact, after the Qiang people fought a battle with the Han in Taoshui, anyone with a little bit of brains would know that resisting the Han was just a mantis trying to defeat the enemy.
What's more important is that the results of the Battle of Zhangye came out. Even those hardliners clamored
The guys who said "Qiang people should fight to the end and not become slaves of the Han people" also remained silent at this time. They usually yelled twice, just to win people's hearts and fight for power. They really made them jump out and hold muskets.
Against the Han army, if you don't pee your pants, it's considered good.
Therefore, the Qiang people were very well-behaved, and the Han army did not do anything out of the ordinary. The two sides got along very harmoniously. Immediately afterwards, the chief clerks accompanying the army began to use their abilities as civil servants to put forward some reasonable suggestions for the development of Qiang villages.
It is suggested that the doctors accompanying the army provide free consultations to the Qiang people in the villages, and the merchants accompanying the army bring out all kinds of goods - these guys push carts and follow the army all the way, not just for now
.
At the same time, the Han army also organized a party and invited the Qiang people to join them.
The people in the mountains are good at singing and dancing. If they were surprised by what the doctors and merchants of the Han army did before, then the kind attitude of the Han army directly touched their minds.
Soon from Taoshui to Huangshui, the Qiang tribes who had been panicked, fearful or unconvinced all surrendered to the Han with peace of mind. There were even several village chiefs clamoring to sworn sworn sworn relatives with a few young generals in the Han army.
The relationship between the two parties may not be a perfect match, but the Qiang people have realized the benefits of following a big man, so sooner or later they will become a family.
This is also why the several Qiang leaders standing in front of Xiao Mohe have smiles on their faces.
They already understand the Han's plan. It is very likely that a big city will rise on this river beach.
The fine land that is also difficult to find in the river valleys around the city will become a place for Qiang people to cultivate.
For the Qiang people, this is a real benefit.
Especially when the Han Dynasty conquers Tuyuhun, this will be the only way to reach Liangzhou or Hanzhong directly from Tuyuhun to the east. The road from Tuyuhun to Zhangye and Wuwei needs to pass through the Qilian Mountains. Forget about the army, caravans
It is difficult to pass through, so if the Tuyuhun area wants to completely establish contact with the Han Dynasty, it must pass through the Huangshui River Valley.
At that time, the Qiang people, who are local leaders, can make money just by collecting tolls.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Therefore, the Qiang people accompanying the army explored the water and soil one by one and learned from the Han craftsmen. They were full of enthusiasm and high morale.
Xiao Mohe gave them a few instructions and hurried up the hillside with his guards.
His eyes looked westward for a long time.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the general had been thinking about Fuqi City and wanted to take a share of the battle to attack Fuqi City.
Xiao Mohe actually doesn't need such credit. His current status is transcendent. This time he led the army to go on an expedition. In fact, it was more like Li Xingchen was afraid that he would squat at home before he was old and was suffocated.
If there is a shortage of a general, he is invited to come out.
People are here to make achievements, but Xiao Maha is here to exercise his muscles and bones.
