Chapter 447: Differential Treatment
At the end of September, Tian Xin was ahead of Jingzhou to obtain news of the rebellion in Nanzhong.
has been delegated to Xia Houlan, and there is also the support of Shi Xie, Shi Hui's father and son, and Xia Hou Lan is allowed to decide the time to enter the war.
Xiahoulan's march route was the road of General Fubo's horse aid to quell the rebellion, mainly in the Red River Valley...... This road is known as the bird path, and as the name suggests, it is a road that can only be passed by birds, so you can imagine how difficult this road is.
The whole journey of 1,400 miles can reach the Yizhou Plain, and Xiahoulan is equipped with 3,000 Hunan troops as the main battle force; The remaining Han servant army recruited by Sergeant Xie was only responsible for logistics and transshipment.
With the savings of Jiaozhou, it is almost a limit to supply 3,000 soldiers for an expedition to Nanzhong.
Compared with the Nanzhong battlefield, what is more worthy of attention is the establishment of a new shipping system according to the tributary water system of the Guangdong River.
The Yuejiang River is the Pearl River, which can be roughly divided into three main tributary water systems: the Beijiang River, the Dongjiang River and the Xijiang River.
The new fiefdom was built around the water system, which was the fiefdom of the feudal lord and also a trading post.
Advanced productivity can naturally lead the line with points, and then radiate the overall situation.
The feudal monarch with advanced productive forces will naturally find ways to strengthen himself and absorb and disintegrate the local people.
And the style of the stronghold built around the Pearl River water system...... There is a kind of building that resembles a nuclear bomb silos, which is very suitable for feudal lords to build.
In order to let the future feudal monarchs and scholars learn this advanced construction technique, Tian Xin led more than 3,000 people to build the first round earth building together.
The fundamental skill of tulou construction is to build soil with slabs, which is regarded as the housekeeping technique of the Han army.
The combat effectiveness of the army can be seen in the aspect of civil engineering.
The first tulou designed by Tian Xin adopts the pattern of outer circle and inner square, and the outer round tulou is inhabited, just like a military barracks, but the round tulou planned by Tian Xin is three stories high.
In the middle is the square earth building, which is the place of deliberation and the place where the spiritual seat is enshrined.
It is completely a military fortress, and at most it takes into account the sacrificial needs of the residents.
Of course, as you can see, the cross-section of the tulou is a copper coin with an outer circle and a square inside.
Deng Ai, who is relatively skilled in building tulou, got started quickly, guessing that the inspiration for the construction of this tulou came from Zhang Liao; Zhang Liao was inspired by the beacons of the border army.
Only after the construction of various strongholds in the Pearl River system can Tian Xin leave with confidence.
Before leaving, there are still many things to do, such as suppressing bandits, and bandits, and bandits......
Some people can't figure it out, they are obviously so strong, they can control the tigers and war elephants, how can there be scattered local people who come out to attack the Han army of civil engineering operations? or take a boat to rob a ship that transports supplies.
I can vaguely figure out this problem: the local people are superstitious, but no matter how superstitious they are, there are always people who like to work hard, and there are also people who are bold.
There is no such thing as law in the concept of life of many indigenous people, and some indigenous tribes even have the concept of egalitarianism...... That is, I do not, and you have, and I take yours, which is due; If you don't give it, we will fight, and you should kill me.
What a simple concept of life, what a lovely person.
In the four hundred years since the Qin and Han dynasties developed Lingnan, the Turen tribe had a nervous sensitivity.
Between the indigenous tribes, the ownership of a prey may lead to a bloody conflict involving tens of thousands of people; However, it cannot tolerate the government's distribution of even a little bit of forced labor beyond the standard.
What was forced in the past, what is forced now; You can reduce the conscription, but you must not add a single strand of it.
If you increase, it means that you don't give me a way to live, then you have done a game, and you will live and die.
The natives are also people, is it really so unreasonable?
No, between the natives and the government, there was a class similar to compradors and translators, who could be called chiefs.
The infighting of the indigenous tribes and the flow of blood are group behaviors that strengthen the leadership, influence, and status of the chiefs...... It must be actively promoted.
The execution of the official government's conscription will undoubtedly increase the influence of the government on the local people, and the influence of the government is high, and it is the chieftain's influence that is compressed and deprived.
Chiefs who have no influence, not to mention that life is difficult, just without that kind of joy can make many chiefs worse than dead.
So it's not that the natives have a problem, it's that the natives have a problem.
Just like the Han family, there are also heroes among the local people, and they all have the same way of survival.
If you refuse to accept the transformation, you will have to die.
In addition to building the earthen towers, Tian Xin led the Hunan army to various places to recruit and suppress the rebellious natives, and found out the chiefs behind them...... Uproot.
If mere morality can influence the natives...... Then there is no need to do anything to respect the king.
Morality without the support of force cannot escape its demise.
The size of the Hunan army that followed him was 300 fewer and 500 more, all of which were rotated in batches to increase their self-confidence and experience in battle.
On the night of October 14 in the third year of Zhang Wu, Tian Xin and his officials camped on the banks of the Dongjiang River for the night.
At night, Artemisia grass was burned around the camp to repel insects, and Tian Xin explained to more than 70 military officials around him: "Specific things should be analyzed in detail, not generalized, and treated differently, which is nothing more than killing the big and letting go of the small, killing the alienated and establishing relatives with us, or punishing the stubborn and recalcitrant and supporting those who admire culture." ”
"For example, the chief of the frog tribe who was punished today has nothing to do with him, and it is really a private violation of the ban by the local people. But after all, he has the crime of lax discipline, and there is a cannibalistic custom in this department, and this duke has no intention of repenting, but is proud of it, and I have a clear conscience when I kill him. ”
"In the future, the kings will either be in charge of the township or the city, or the village and the fall, and in everything you do, you must not turn your back on the word conscience."
There is no need for these officials to take any notes on the spot, as long as they listen carefully and understand the general meaning of Tian Xin.
Deng Ai had already been promoted to the rank of captain because of his outstanding performance in repairing the tulou, and he listened carefully and did not take notes.
The scribe Li Heng, who took notes in detail with the rank of lieutenant colonel, always liked to record all kinds of observations; There is also Pang Hong, the main bookkeeper of Tian Xin.
It is not Pang Hong's record, but Pang Hong is responsible for sorting out various notes, summarizing them and handing them over to Tian Xin, who re-gathers them into cases and re-examines the language to elaborate.
When the tulou strongholds of the tributaries of the Pearl River are built, and the smelting and forging workshops are built, it will be time to publish this "Records of Experiences in the South".
A pamphlet was distributed everywhere to teach the feudal lords and officials everywhere to pay attention to the key points of their work and to distinguish who the real enemy was.
To accelerate civilization and enlightenment, we cannot rely only on tools.
It is necessary to help the backward tribes to eradicate the tumors parasitic on them, so as to liberate their enthusiasm.
Otherwise, take the tools and accumulate wealth for the chieftain...... So what are you trying to do in the south? Warmth to the chiefs? Sending wealth? Sending the technology?
Only by defeating and eliminating the original chiefs, shamans, priests, or witch doctors can a wave of productivity explode.
After the outbreak, it docked with the mainstream of the Central Plains, and the feudal monarchs set up by themselves redeveloped into alternative chiefs and Tusi...... It is also worthy of the times, and how to deal with them is a matter for future generations.
In short, it is much more convenient to deal with the toast than with the tribal chief.
After a brief explanation and a few questions, the camp fell silent tonight.
Two fat tigers and a pair of war elephants on the periphery of the camp are responsible for guarding and patrolling the night, and in the face of lurking beasts, the night raiding troops are more likely to be exposed.
Tian Xin couldn't sleep, and was thinking about Sun Quan and Cao Pi's reaction after Liu Bei fell ill.
After the decisive battle of Eagle Mountain, Cao Pi should have lost the heart to take the initiative to attack, not because he didn't want to, but because his strength didn't allow it.
Otherwise, he would have attacked Liu Feng's abdomen and back a long time ago, and would not have waited for the situation to happen honestly as he is now.
In general, Cao Pi still has a little bit of humanity, human nature, he knows how to bully the soft and fear the hard, he knows how to compromise, and he knows what to do and what not to do when he should not.
But what about Sun Quan? After successive fiascos, he was mentally devastated; Now there is a sudden rare victory, this guy is not crazy, he is already very powerful.
Maybe it's crazy, but no one dares to admit it.
Only those who have lost a war know how much suffering they have to endure during and after war.
But if you have a little compassion, you will be tormented by the mental pressure of defeat.
He always won battles, and he almost couldn't control himself several times, let alone Sun Quan who was on a roller coaster.
