Book friend Sloth Prince's discussion on the establishment of the Xia Kingdom
One Country, Two Systems
Mischievous gibberish........
Sooner or later, Great Xia will be unified, and sooner or later after reunification, it will be expanded.
After the unification, the traditional inland territory of the Han people was directly led by the Son of Heaven, Liaodong, Saibei, Western Regions, Southern Xinjiang, and overseas were the princely domains of Zhenfu and Colonization.
The area of the princes' territory is limited by the title (the title is obtained by military merit), and the division is mainly based on the topography of the shape and victory, which is convenient for defense. Each prince formed a large military government, and a corps was formed within the military government. The Clan Leader will be held by the Legion Leader in turn.
The territories under the jurisdiction of the major military governments are not staggered, and each has its own strategy and colonization direction.
---------------------------------------
The Son of Heaven set up the Central Military Academy in the imperial capital, and the major military governments set up branch schools. The branch is under the direct management of the Central Military Academy and has no jurisdiction relationship with the princes. The descendants of all princes must enter the branch school to study, and those who do not enter will be deemed to have given up the right to inherit the title.
The Son of Heaven set up a knighthood court in the imperial capital, and branch courts were set up in various places. The branch is under the direct control of the court of knighthood and has no jurisdiction relationship with the princes.
After the descendants of the princes pass the graduation examination of the branch schools of the military academies in various places, the branch schools shall report to the local title branches to determine the legal inheritance of the title.
The final successor is chosen by the princes among the above descendants, and the selected ones need to go to the Central Military Academy of the Imperial Capital to continue their studies for three years before returning. Other descendants went to serve in various military government regiments, and after obtaining military merits, they were re-knighted, and the territory was divided by the new territory, and the old territory could not be divided.
In this way, in order for their many descendants to have land to be sealed, the princes of various places can only always maintain an offensive and expansion posture against foreign races; Each descendant can also pursue something, and will not be comfortable and corrupt. At the same time, the old lords of the princes were not divided, which avoided the decline in the power of the princes caused by policies such as the "Tui En Order". In addition, since the territories of the princes will not increase their strength and are limited, they can only always maintain the unity of the military government and work together to attack the strategy.
-------------
Half of the taxes in the princes' territories went to the princes, and half to the Son of Heaven. to the Son of Heaven is to be collected by the Son of Heaven by the Levy established by the Son of Heaven. Civil affairs are agreed upon by the princes in the military government.
-------------
In order to maintain the local military strength of the Han people, as well as to have a certain influence on the presence of local military governments. The Son of Heaven's pro-army will take turns to go to the Quartet Military Government to help the military government work together to attack. The military is consulted by the chief general of the Son of Heaven's pro-army and the chief general of each military government. The food and wages were shared by the Son of Heaven and the princes of various places. The property obtained from the conquest and plundering was divided between the army and the legion, and most of it went to the Son of Heaven. But the conquest of the land went to the legionary princes.
Some of the most strategically important megacities (e.g., Constantine in Eastern Rome) were not suitable for a single prince or legion. Or it will greatly affect the balance of power between the princes and the legions. It can be used as a free city for the legion, or as a garrison for the Son of Heaven's pro-army rotation training expedition.
---------------------------------------
The Han people's desire for land is unimaginable to many barbarians, but the habit of relocating to the land is even more unimaginable to them.
The so-called tuntian, government soldiers, guards, etc., can still maintain the combat strength of the soldiers in a short period of time, but after a long time, they will inevitably fall into a strange circle such as war mutiny into auxiliary soldiers, auxiliary soldiers into peasant merchants, and so on.
In the vast new frontier outside the direct command of the Son of Heaven, the Han people were originally a minority. It would be sad if these limited numbers of Han Chinese all ended up as peasant merchants. At the same time, the decline in the combat power of a small number of Han people will inevitably lead to the rise of resistance of the ruled alien races in various places.
Therefore, the final composition of each military government was composed of the princes' territories within the legion, and the manor ranches of the Han soldiers. All the Han people in the military government are warriors, and they usually practice martial arts, and they have become Western knights. The work in the farms of each manor was done by the alien slaves who were dominant.
Implement the naturalization policy for foreign races, change the hairstyle, wear Hanfu, and those who speak Chinese well get rid of slavery status and become naturalized people. They were promoted to become Han Chinese-like servants of the generations, with a status much higher than that of foreign slaves, assisting their masters and mothers in handling the daily affairs of the farms and ranches. After several generations, after complete assimilation, the naturalized person can be promoted to the status of Han Chinese, and can enter the military academy branch to study, enter the army to serve, and be knighted and fief after obtaining military merits.
In addition, the children of naturalized families who have not obtained Han status for the time being, but are deeply trusted by the master, can act as a personal soldier when the master sends troops, and can also lead the conscripted alien cannon fodder corps. Those who have won military merits can offset them with military merits and obtain Han status in advance.
The alien cannon fodder corps conscripted in wartime were mainly low-status among the aliens. Kill the higher with the lower and destroy the values and status of the alien race. Those who kill can be selected as Han soldiers, or enter Han farms and ranches as stewards in the hope of being further promoted.
A large number of prisoners of war in the war, some of whom had to be handed over to the Son of Heaven, formed labor regiments, served hard labor for generations in the Han Chinese mainland, engaged in dangerous high-risk industries such as mining, road construction, city building, and bridge building, and died in the work. In addition to the above-mentioned high-risk work, some of them formed labor service regiments in the hands of the military government itself, and they also had to carry out large-scale reclamation of the newly expanded land, and after the successful reclamation of the ripe land, it was sold to the Han people at a low price or owned by the new lord of the land for free. The remaining prisoners of war were sold back to the Han mainland by merchants to serve as Han servants.
Through a long period of "combing", it is hoped that the new territories will be completely cleaned up into a "new Han land" composed of Han nobles, loyal naturalized people, and tame foreign slaves and commoners.

3. Do not support unlimited expansionMany people have this idea and think that expansion is good. In fact, it is not, throughout history, there is no nation that has expanded infinitely without extinction, but it is a steady and steady China that has survived to the end.

Posted by: zhoufeiyuDate: 2011-11-1415:47Non or non.
It is not necessarily "there is no nation that will not perish, and there is no nation that will not perish"
First of all, the statement "infinite" --- itself is incorrect, and it seems that there are no peoples who have conquered the entire earth in history. If we mean "massive", then what about the British Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Russian Empire? Even if it eventually loses its status as a global hegemon, it can't be said to be "destroyed", right?
The problem of extinction due to expansion is mainly that the land area is too large, and the transmission of information from the upper level is too slow to effectively control; The other is that there is no good "division" and "severing" of the ties of national identity of the indigenous peoples of the conquered lands. Or the conqueror is too low in civilization and is assimilated by the conquered higher civilization.
The expansion of the Mongol Empire, from east to west and from south to north, took a year. In desperation, it was divided into four khanates. However, the level of their own civilization is too low, and they envy the way of life of the conquered people of higher civilizations, so they are imperceptibly assimilated (the four khanates, which have been assimilated by different civilizations, also tend to split); In addition, the comfortable and corrupt life has also led to a rapid decline in combat effectiveness.
Expansion must effectively destroy the local high civilization and destroy the original social class identity model. In establishing one's own dominance, one should also take care to win over the original "lowly" or "undetermined" among the conquered, and to assimilate the other side in reverse. It is necessary to avoid the consumption of its own soldiers by the "affairs of daily life" (production is carried out by the slaves of the vanquished) and always maintain their own combat effectiveness.
In addition, the "dividends" of conquest should be popularized to all soldiers of their own nationality to increase cohesion and a sense of identity. Unable to lead rich and rich, and soldiers shed their blood and sacrifice for nothing (even lower than the vanquished who took refuge in themselves)
-----------------------------------------
Expansion is not about endlessly expanding territory.
In the case of China, the natural geography and landform limit the inherent security territory of the "Han Dynasty". The expansion on this basis is to increase the strategic buffer and security defense scope for the "Han mainland". At the same time, the material resources of the conquered colonies were used to reduce the living pressure of the native people and ensure the rapid development of the productive forces. (Resolutely not to "unify" the mainland and the colonies!! The cost of rule after unification is too high, and it is impossible to highly squeeze the other side to promote itself. )
In addition, in the process of expansion, it spreads its own civilization and assimilates and transforms the minds of local natives. Even if the Han people leave the local area due to other reasons in the future, those local aborigines have completely lost their national soul, and they will unconsciously have a sense of identity and closeness to the Han people. (You don't see the hysterical piety of Muslims who are not Arabyans.) )
Of course, if the local area can be thoroughly "sorted out", then the "purified" "new Han land" will naturally become a solid and inseparable inherent territory of the Han people. (You don't see Canada, Australia, North and South America) (Well, not necessarily a government, but certainly a people.) )

Send a message 5, write as you want.......................... The problems within an empire are none other than military power, financial power, civil affairs, and balance.
In order for the military to have a firm grip, personnel issues are very important. Therefore, I suggested in the post the establishment of a "directly managed" "military academy" system, as well as a "knighthood court". This is mainly to solve the problem of succession of leaders of a certain military bloc. On this issue, the Central Son of Heaven must have the right to speak, but not the right to decide. It not only gives the military leaders the opportunity to choose their own heirs, but also does not completely let them go. In this way, "militarization" can be avoided.
In addition, it is to solve the problem of "promotion" of the successor of non-leaders in the army. It is necessary to give them the opportunity to move upward, and we must not allow interest groups to be "solidified." At the same time, however, avoid "small clique" talk. Therefore, the original fief is not reduced, and another fief is awarded for military merit.
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, there must be a battle. But soldiers are also human beings, so they must not be allowed to farm and graze in peacetime, abandon their wives in wartime, and go to the front line to shed blood and work hard out of their own pockets. Therefore, let's abandon the policies of tuntian, government soldiers, and guards, and firmly "knight" and "aristocratic"! (Let the slaves do the farming.) )
---------
Financial power, more in favor of the "two tax system", hehe, that is, "national tax" and "local tax". It is impossible not to give local sweetness benefits, and strong and weak branches can only be the way to die; But the Son of Heaven can't be without money, otherwise the embarrassing situation of the Ming emperors is not far ahead.
---------
Civil affairs, more appreciative of the Han Dynasty system, to give power to the localities. However, we must not lose the ability of the central authorities to intervene. (The "bureaucratic system" is not advisable, but it is also unrealistic to rely entirely on local autonomy.) )
The imperial examination is divided into more subjects and more refined, so that students have a variety of choices. The division of the government is also more refined, "according to the profession".
In fact, I personally feel that there are basically no civil affairs problems in ancient societies. Small problems are solved locally, and big problems are rarely solved on a daily basis. Only natural disasters or something need central intervention. (This may be why the civil servants invite the name to talk, but they really have nothing to do...) )
-------------------------------
Balance.
The stable life at the end of the troubled times will inevitably lead to the rise of civilian power, and the limited "social wealth resources" will inevitably lead to the oppression and exclusion of the military class by civilian power. And "promoting literature and suppressing martial arts" is to know that the final result of "using literature to control martial arts" will inevitably be "death and national annihilation".
Therefore, the power of the literati will definitely rise. But it is necessary to control them and prevent the literati clique from becoming overgrown. However, they can't help but give them opportunities (that's why there is the above "refinement of government division"), because "poor literature and rich martial arts", most of the literati are from poor backgrounds, and it is a certain need to make a fortune. The consequences of not giving the poor the opportunity to advance are unimaginable.
Well, this also requires the "nationalization", "institutionalization" and "scale" of the "military schools". Hehe, give the poor a chance to "abandon literature and follow martial arts"! This is also to divert some future "rotten Confucian literati"!
At the same time, "expansion" is also aimed at increasing "general social wealth". Both the literati and the military have a lot of new interests to divide, and presumably the sharp contradictions between the two will also be alleviated.

Send a message 6, well, land......... At the end of the dynasties, there seem to be very few people who actually died to foreign enemies.
Most of the reasons for this were the "land annexation" that led to the hopelessness of the poor, the unprecedented intensity of social contradictions, and the outbreak of riots in the country. When the riots were put down, because the central army was not strong in combat power, it could only be left to the localities on their own, which led to the "warlordization" and "secession" of the localities. In addition, foreign enemies of different races took advantage of the situation, a large number of defeated troops, ant people with no hope of survival, and literati who lost power as their forerunners, and were willing to be traitors.
Among the various reasons, the most fundamental is the "land issue".
It is recommended to formulate a strict "land acre limit" (there is an upper limit but no lower limit) for the "Han locality". so that the rich and noble cannot arbitrarily expand and annex land. Limit the maximum amount of land owned by the wealthy to a small range (which can be tied to a title, but not too much land for the highest title).
In this way, the rich and noble have money, but they cannot buy land on a large scale, but can only force them to convert capital into investment in industry and commerce. At the same time, the rich and noble can be allowed to "dock fortification" and "dock walling" in their limited land. Spend their time fighting for fortune and wealth on buildings, not land. In addition, the small dock fort with limited land area is simply unable to resist the central government, nor is it able to support the survival needs of the super-large-scale family, avoiding the "gate valve" and "local tyrantization". (And the small dock forts scattered throughout the Han mainland will play a vital role in the possible "chaos" in the future.) )
The limitation of land size, as well as the limitation of the succession of titles, will force the non-heirs of the rich and noble to leave the Han mainland, open their eyes to the world, and transfer the hope of pursuing future status and wealth to the distant and vast "conquered colonies".
-------
The Han people pay attention to relocation, and the poor will not be willing to leave their homeland and go to a foreign land to start working alone again. Well, how can they be attracted to the colony? Large-scale government-forced relocation is clearly not advisable.
If, the poor, go to the colony, it is not from the poor to settle the fields. Instead, the legion set aside a large amount of land for its ownership and established small manor ranches. At the same time, free of charge, or a loan was given in advance to pay a certain amount of slaves to farm. and to train them militarily, or to carry out military protection in the early days of the estate. Then, the temptation to leap from a poor person to a "master" must be irresistible to the Han poor.
The "military" Han peasants will greatly support the existence of the legion while getting rid of the complicated land for cultivation and grazing. The land that countless "small landlords" and "little masters" Han people can effectively control will certainly far exceed that of countless "small peasants". This also effectively makes up for the problem of "scarcity of Han people in foreign colonies".
In addition, the wives and concubines that a "master" can support are far more than a "small peasant". Marrying more foreign wives and concubines and having more mixed-race children will also effectively compensate for the sparse population problem and quickly assimilate the population of the colony.
