Chapter 157: Training

However, after the expansion of various departments was completed, Lin Nan implemented a new method of military training -- the devil's style of military training.

That is, when recruiting soldiers, according to their own size to recruit soldiers, if you really can't recruit so many soldiers, you should also recruit as many as possible, after recruiting soldiers, you will increase the intensity of training, eliminate the redundant soldiers, in order to improve the personal quality of soldiers, improve the combat ability of individual soldiers, and train real elite soldiers, so the eliminated soldiers say that this training method is like the devil.

At the same time as the selection and training of soldiers, Lin Nan also made substantial progress in the transformation of prisoners.

When these 60,000 Xiongnu captives were escorted back to Jinyang, Lin Nan was almost annoyed to death by the officials and people up and down Jinyang.

How to deal with the prisoners became the most difficult problem to solve after the war.

The Senate, the Government Council, the Military Council, and the courts all quarreled about it. Most of the official documents that come and go every day in the Assassin's Mansion are related to prisoners, which makes Wang Cang want to vomit when he hears the word prisoner. And although the Supervision Yuan has nothing to do with this matter, Tian Feng is not idle, the left one is built yƬ, and the right one is built yƬ, and he endlessly submits it to the Assassin Mansion, and Lin Nan is disgusted when he sees the word "Jian yƬ".

In desperation, Lin Nan had no choice but to convene a meeting of all officials in the Assassin Mansion.

In addition to the four counties in the border area, the five counties of Jinyang all sent representatives, so in the meeting hall of the Assassin's Mansion, it was crowded with hundreds of people.

As soon as he saw so many people, Lin Nan felt that the council hall should be expanded.

Again, the meeting was still noisy.

Some people advocate killing to strengthen Han Tianwei, some people advocate slavery, selling them into slavery to make up for the financial burden, and of course, occasionally a few mentally ill people advocate release.

As soon as he heard that someone advocated the release of the captives, Lin Nan was immediately furious, and immediately slapped the table and glared at these officials, I really don't know what these psychopaths think. For these tens of thousands of prisoners, how many casualties and how much blood were shed for the state army.

As soon as he saw Lin Nan angry, the officials of the state were silent. They all waited quietly for Lin Nan to speak.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Nan got up from behind the case, glanced at the people in the hall, and said slowly, solemnly: "These prisoners. You can't kill, you can't let go, you can't be a slave, you have to reform! ā€

As soon as I heard the word "transformation", officials of all sizes in the state began to talk about it again, and I don't know why.

And as soon as Lin Nan waved his hand, everyone fell silent again.

"The public platform, and the laws of the state, have any regulations on how to deal with prisoners?" Lin Nan turned his head and said to Chen Gong.

"No, I didn't." Chen Gong replied helplessly.

It is precisely because the law does not stipulate how to dispose of the captives. That's when the question becomes a difficult one.

"It is precisely because the law does not stipulate what to do with the captives that I advocate the reform of the captives." Facing everyone, Lin Nan said loudly.

"The so-called transformation is to let the Xiongnu people change their surnames to Han, speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and become the people of our Han Dynasty in a few years." As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, there was a buzz of discussion in the hall again.

Lin Nan waved his hand and shouted, "What's wrong, please speak up!" Don't talk to each other. Talk about it privately. ā€

As soon as Lin Nan said this, the officials of the state were silent again, and the hall suddenly became surprisingly quiet.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he got up and said, "My lord." The method of transformation is unheard of and unseen, so please explain it in detail. ā€

Lin Nan knew that the words of frustration were the words of everyone. Even if you don't understand what the transformation is all about, then the rest of the people probably won't understand.

So, Lin Nan sighed and said: "The so-called transformation is to turn the Huns into Han people, let them be reborn, let them become Han people from the inside out, from the ideological consciousness to the way of life, that is, let them be reborn once and be people again." ā€

Then, Lin Nan said: "Perhaps, you think this is impossible, but, think about it, if you are those Hun captives, I mean if." In the face of these feudal diehards, Lin Nan had no choice but to emphasize the "if" again.

"Now, I give you two choices, one is to die, and the other is to be Han, which one will you choose?"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, and the hall was silent again.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Lin Nan said to Cui Yan, "What does Ji Qi think?" ā€

Seeing that Lin Nan called his head, Cui Yan got up helplessly and said in a slurred voice: "Yan thinks that there should be more people who choose to be Han." ā€

"Hmm." After listening to Cui Yan's words, Lin Nan nodded with satisfaction.

"Ants are still stealing life, let alone people? Therefore, at least half of the Xiongnu captives will choose to be Han Chinese, and by that time, we will have tens of thousands of more people! Why not? And what we lack most now, isn't it people? I have told you more than once: everything in the world is people-oriented. Now, God has given us tens of thousands of people, if we don't accept it, won't it hurt heaven? Therefore, killing all the captives is destroying the heavens! Lin Nan said excitedly.

Lin Nan said while constantly gesturing, which made the officials of the state feel that they were not listening to the lord's instructions, but listening to the lord's speech.

Immediately, Lin Nan said: "And, if we kill all these captives, will the defeated Huns surrender again in the future?" Will their parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters not avenge them anymore? In this way, the hatred will accumulate more and more, and our future war with the Huns will become more difficult. Speaking of this, Lin Nan's tone was a little deep.

"Countering violence with killing is not a wise move." Suddenly, Lin Nan raised his voice again and said loudly.

"And wouldn't it be a pity if they were all slaves? Does the state need so many slaves? In addition, the law of the state stipulates that no more than 100 persons shall be allowed in each household, and a register shall be made. This is what the law prescribes, it is supreme, and I cannot transgress it. Therefore, there are only about two dozen people in my family. And why do you want so many slaves and so many family members? Do you want to rebel? ā€

Hearing Lin Nan's questioning, the officials of the prefecture hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "I don't dare to wait." ā€

Seeing that the effect of intimidation had been achieved, Lin Nan said: "I know you don't have this idea, get up, and remember in the future: don't do this gift at will." ā€

After Lin Nan finished speaking, everyone trembled again.

After everyone was seated, Lin Nan said in a deep voice: "Our war with the Huns is actually hatred and killing between two peoples.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, such a conquest. This kind of vendetta has never stopped. How much blood did we shed? How much blood did the Huns shed again? Don't you want to put an end to such wars?

I don't know if you want to, but I do. So, treat the Huns. I advocate a two-point policy: one is extermination, and the other is conquest.

I believe that if you want to put an end to the hatred and war between two peoples, you have to let one perish, like that. The hatred will be gone, and the war will cease. And if one side does not have the strength to destroy the other, then it is necessary to completely conquer the other side, use its own force and civilization to conquer and integrate the other nation, and let him assimilate into himself, so that the hatred will no longer exist, and the war will stop.

And with our current strength, we can't let the Huns exterminate the race, so. We have to conquer the Huns, assimilate and integrate the Huns, so that they too will become Han Chinese, and become the people of the Han Dynasty.

The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. If we can't even conquer and accommodate a small Huns, then how can our Han nation survive, and what face does it have between heaven and earth?

And only when we assimilate and accommodate the Huns will our nation develop and grow in the fusion of the two peoples, and will it become stronger. King Zhao Wuling's Hufu riding and archery is very good. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to accommodate the Hu people, if he accommodates the Hu people, let the Hu people also become the people of the Zhao State. That Zhao State will be the most powerful vassal state during the Warring States Period, and the last person to rule the world may not be King Yingzheng of Qin.

Therefore, if we want to develop and grow, we must find ways to make ourselves stronger and bigger. Instead of finding ways to make our opponents weak.

Perhaps, with our constant conquest and constant strikes, the Huns will become weaker and will flee away. But, what's the use of that? What's the point? Have we strengthened? Has our nation become stronger?

No.

Suffice it to say that our enemies have become weak. We are only a little stronger than our enemies. But our enemies still exist, and the hatred has not been resolved, but deepened. Someday, they will come back for revenge. And in the infinite conquest, we have wasted our own strength, making ourselves vulnerable and empty in the infinite conquest.

All we get is a little bit of the vanity of the winners. But this little vanity has cost us dearly, making us haggard ourselves. Our enemy, on the other hand, is hiding in a corner, gathering strength, waiting for a counterattack.

I think that the lesson of Emperor Xiaowu does not need me to say it again.

In the next words, there is no disloyalty to the imperial court or disrespect to the ancestors, and I just feel that our previous policies are inappropriate.

Therefore, in dealing with the Huns, I advocate conquest, integration, and assimilation. And to treat these Xiongnu captives, we want to transform them into Han Chinese, into our own people.

And, what is the difference between us and the Huns? It's just that the habits are different.

If we Han people grew up in the grassland, wouldn't we have bowed and rode into the Central Plains? If the Xiongnu had grown up in the Chinese Plain, wouldn't they have ploughed in the spring and harvested in the autumn and recited poetry and books?

All things in heaven and earth are originally equal, and under the sunshine, the people of all ethnic groups are actually the same, no one is more noble than others, and no one can enjoy a little more sunshine. Although the Huns did not have their own writing, they were all living beings under the sun, just like us, and they were all fighting for survival between heaven and earth.

Again, what makes them different from us is their way of life.

The grassland was originally a bitter cold land, and food was scarce, and if they did not plunder in the Central Plains, they would not be able to survive. Therefore, in order to survive, they must plunder the Central Plains, and if I live on the grassland, I will also raid the Central Plains.

People are not born with it, and many of people's habits and lifestyles are completely acquired, so if it were not for the necessity of survival, I think, they would not be willing to fight with us for years and kill endlessly.

And the reason why we call them barbarians is nothing more than because they have not been well educated, if they are like us, they have read poetry and books since childhood, and taught etiquette, then they will still keep fighting and killing on the grassland?

That's why I'm going to reform them and educate them.

Of course, if they want to survive, in addition to looting, they can also have it included.

And if we want them to be attached, we have to conquer them, make them completely subjugated, make them truly submit to us, let them become one with us, and become our people.

In this way, the grassland is the grassland of Bingzhou, and it is the grassland of Dahan!

This is also my dream all along.

Therefore, for these Xiongnu captives, our only way out is to reform, to transform them into Han people, at least in terms of living habits.

This is the foolish opinion of the south, I don't know what you think? ā€

A beautiful analogy and a wonderful speech ended in such an inquiry.

But after finishing the matter, Lin Nan took a closer look, and everyone in the hall was stunned like fools, without the slightest reaction.

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to sit behind the case again and look at them leisurely.

And after a while, everyone still didn't react, I don't know if they fell asleep or were fooled.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan had no choice but to get up and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you agree or don't agree?" Give me an explanation. What do you mean by being silent? ā€

After Lin Nan finished speaking, after a while, someone finally sighed.

As soon as he heard someone's voice, Lin Nan quickly stretched his neck and took a closer look.

I saw Xun Yu get up slowly, and said tremblingly: "The words of the lord are like Huang Zhong Dalu, deafening and deaf, transforming the method of conquest, which is an unprecedented achievement. Until today, Yu knows that the lord is amazingly talented, and the lord is talented, and Yu worships it. After Xun Yu finished speaking, he bowed to the ground.

As soon as Xun Yu took the lead in bowing, the officials of Jinyang bowed to the ground one after another, shouting in a daze: "The lord is talented, I will wait to obey." ā€

Seeing that everyone was so pious, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a little helpless: if you agree, you agree, you don't have to be so roundabout.

However, Lin Nan still very humbly helped Xun Yu up and said, "If Wen can't be like this, Nan can't stand it." (To be continued.) )
