Chapter 283: Eldest Sun Wuji, Please
γγγγγγγγγγ
In the view of the eldest grandson Wuji, the bane of the "Five Hu Chaohua" was actually planted as early as the time when "Zhaojun came out of the plug".
Because the emperor of the Han Dynasty was simply "rewarded for nothing" to the Xiongnu. At that time, the Xiongnu were only nominally vassals, and they were not even considered to be surrendered. He also rebelled against the Han Dynasty many times and became self-reliant, with a lot of criminal records, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty even rewarded him with a big reward. This undermines the principle of reward and punishment. And the reward is easy to obtain. Those Huns don't know how to cherish it, and they won't have much gratitude.
On the contrary, the population of the Wuhu skyrocketed during those years, thanks to the countless money and grain that the Han Dynasty had received and was allowed to move inwards south of the Great Wall, where living conditions were better. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they could still suppress them by force and did not dare to make trouble, but when the Western Jin Dynasty was greatly injured because of the "Eight Kings Rebellion", the population of the Hu people in the north was almost the same as that of the Han people.
Moreover, because the Hu people could previously obtain a considerable amount of "money and grain subsidies" from the Han and Jin emperors, they could feed a large number of off-duty people, which provided countless potential sources of soldiers for their tribal leaders.
On the other hand, Han Chinese people suffer from heavier taxes. Because the large amount of money, grain, and clothing that these emperors rewarded to the Hu people were actually the fruits of the labor of the Han people. They had to go out early and return late all day long, farming and toiling to feed their families. The Han people were originally a martial people, but they have always been engaged in agricultural production, and no matter how strong the folk customs are, they will gradually fade.
Because the Han people did not have the time or the financial resources to practice martial arts. The strength of the Han and Hu ethnic groups has changed radically. The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" was a flashpoint, which not only caused the army of the Han court to suffer heavy losses due to the civil war. It also made the Wuhu people discover that the Western Jin Dynasty regime, which they had always feared, had long been a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre. At this time, I'm afraid that the fool will think of taking advantage of the fire to rob.
However, the "Five Hu Chaohua" cannot be blamed entirely on Hu Renen's revenge, and the Han people are also at fault. Because during the two years of the Hu people's internal migration. Wuhu people have always been discriminated against by Han Chinese. This is true not only of officials, but also of the surnames underneath. But in private, it's still in person, and you always have to show a look and language that looks down on others. In this way, it is self-evident that the Hu people hate the Han people.
It's like a rich man who sponsors a poor family's children and humiliates him in public all day long, saying that he is poor. Do you think the child will thank you or hate you?
Since these Hu people are cheeky enough to accept the "food that comes to them" given by the Han court every year, their incorruptibility and shame can be seen. In addition, the money, food, and clothing that were rewarded were easy to come by, and most of them were handed over by them, so most of them regarded them as favors from their own families, and naturally they would not be grateful to the Han people. On the contrary, the image of the Han people looking down on themselves is deep.
In this case, at the first opportunity, they will inevitably take revenge on the Han Chinese. In the view of the eldest grandson Wuji, a strong country should be feared, but not hated, and this trick is also completely applicable in ethnic relations.
Regarding what the eldest grandson Wuji said, Yuming also thought so. He knows very well that whether it is the previous Han and Jin dynasties, or the later Sui and Tang emperors, they are all reversed. Otherwise, why did it lead to the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline? You must know that Tang Xuanzong's kindness to An Lushan, who is a Hu person, is simply incomparable, but An Lushan is still ungrateful and wants to seek to usurp the throne.
At this time, Yu Ming couldn't help but think of the national policy of the United States before he crossed over. The U.S. approach is to dilute national identity and treat all ethnic groups equally. This is the fairest and least likely to cause conflicts.
You must know that the United States is a country of immigrants, and its ethnic groups are the most complex and numerous in the world, but there are few collective riots in the United States based on ethnic units, which is not unrelated to their national equality policy. Although there have been black riots in the United States, they were all caused by the unjust behavior of the police officers who enforced the law, which led to riots, and they were not ethnic riots at all.
The U.S. Congress and state legislatures, including governments at all levels, would never dare to enact such a rule of national discrimination. We will never dare to blatantly write that the student examination of a certain nationality should be a few points more than that of other nationalities, how much additional subsidies can people of a certain nationality receive than people of other nationalities in addition to their own labor, and how much proportion of people of a certain nationality must be recruited by enterprises. This is accompanied by a policy of serious ethnic discrimination.
In this way, the people who have received preferential treatment will be equivalent to receiving rewards for their merits, and they will not be grateful if they come easily, and at the same time, it will arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the nationalities that have not received preferential treatment. As a result, people of both nationalities always think that they are different from each other, that they cannot assimilate, and that it is difficult to achieve synergy. If there are outsiders to sow discord, it is easy for rebellion** to occur.
In fact, in later generations, all countries that pursued a policy of ethnic differences, such as the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, were dissolved. While the reasons for the disintegration were not entirely due to ethnic policies, it was understandably one of the key factors. Imagine how the various peoples of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union could have been divided if they had assimilated as one nation over the course of a few decades. At best, it's just a coup d'Γ©tat.
"Well said! Brother Wuji, I'll hand over the two counties of Silla and Ji to you! From now on, you are the warden of these two counties. Ben Shuai gives you permission in these two counties, allowing you to cut first and then play cheaply! Yu Ming got up and said.
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard that Yuming actually allowed him to cut first and then play cheaply, he shook his head again and again. It's not that he doesn't think he has the ability, but he doesn't think he should open his mouth. Because if you open it once, you may have a second time.
He is Yuming's uncle, but he is very loyal to him, but what if there is someone with a heavy fist and ambition? So, he cautiously reminded: "Marshal, although I have had the experience of Honglu Temple, but it is the first time for me to be a local official, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public if I am given such a lot of power at once!" After all, the county guards of the other four counties can only handle local administrative affairs! β
Yu Ming listened, but said proudly: "What are you afraid of? Ben Shuai has always been suspicious of employing people, and suspicious people don't need to! As long as you can pacify these two counties on the Korean Peninsula in a short time! It has completely become a stable territory for my Liaodong camp. Who dares to question that you have too much power? β
At this time, he patted the eldest grandson Wuji's shoulder and said, "Wuji! In the future, it depends on our group of people how far the Liaodong Army can go! We are going to make some achievements to show those emperors and officials of the Sui Dynasty! How did we completely incorporate Goryeo, Silla, and Jeguo, which had not been pacified on the Korean Peninsula for several years, into the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty within ten years! β
The eldest grandson Wuji was greatly moved, and he said with a straight face: "The subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the marshal, and they will be completely settled in Jihe Silla County within five years!" β
At this time, he had realized the difference between his and Yuming's identities. Usually, you can call it casually in private, but on such a formal occasion, it is more appropriate to call your brother-in-law a marshal.
When Yu Ming heard this, he was shocked, thinking that he had already felt very harsh in the ten years he had said. But I didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to cut another half of the time by himself.
"Okay! However, Marshal, there is still a condition for his subordinates, and I hope they can be met together! The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Yuming at this time, and the lion opened his mouth.
"Good fellows! Mowgli, you are a condition as soon as you come! But no problem, just say it! Yu Ming said with a slight surprise.
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "The first condition is to invite my former staff to accompany me to Silla and Ji to participate in the management of local affairs, and also ask Mrs. Red Sleeves to send a group of agents who are proficient in intelligence to go with me, so as to find out the movements of the people!" β
At this time, he added: "Going with my staff is not nepotism, but a lot of policy methods, I have communicated with my team in detail, with them as assistants, and the implementation will not be out of shape at that time!" β
Yu Ming said: "Okay! I've got you covered! Say the next request! β
"The second requirement is that the marshal gives his subordinates full trust, because some of the policies of his subordinates may not be in line with the practice of the imperial court, and there may be some extraordinary measures. The subordinates are worried that someone will be dissatisfied, and denounce the subordinates in front of the marshal! Eldest Sun Wuji said cautiously.
"No problem! As long as it doesn't mean that you defected to the enemy! I'll give you permission to do it cheaply! Yu Ming laughed.
After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji was overjoyed. Then he said: "The first request is that there should not be several voices in Silla and Je counties at the same time, and I hope that the marshal can give his subordinates the highest decision-making power." When it comes to the internal affairs of the two counties, if there is a disagreement between the subordinates and other officials at the same level in the state, the opinions of the subordinates can prevail! β
Yu Ming hesitated for a while, but still agreed: "Okay!" Although the commanders of these two counties now have the same level of assassination history as you, I will tell them that when it comes to matters only within the two counties, your opinion prevails. Of course, in the event of a foreign invasion, it is better to let them deal with military decisions! β
"Good! The subordinates will do their best to complete the tasks assigned by the marshal! In five years, the prosperous and stable Silla and Je counties will be handed over to the marshal! Eldest Sun Wuji patted his chest and reassured.
"Hmmm! Mowgli, go and prepare! Yu Ming said.
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed and bowed before going down. At this time, Cheng Yanjin asked excitedly: "Marshal, now that we have fallen out with the imperial court, should we immediately start a rebellion?" β
