Chapter 0203: Cultural Infiltration
Duan Xi didn't expect that his deliberate behavior would play an unexpected role, this kind of role happened to be the last thing Duan Xi wanted to see, after Lu Zhi left him, he played many times, but he didn't get the consent of the Son of Heaven, so in desperation, he had to look for Sun Jian, Dian Wei, these generals, hoping that they could help him.
Only a few generals agreed to him, and many more refused his request because of Duan Xi, but even so, when Sun Jian, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and a few other generals led the Han army to patrol the border of Ding Ling, it still caused a huge sensation, and this behavior made Ding Ling people feel threatened.
They sent an army to confront the Han army on the other side, but when the Han army did not take the lead in attacking, they did not dare to attack rashly, after all, the result of Xianbei was in front of them, and the Xianbei people had suppressed them for many years, and they were afraid of these Han troops who were even more brutal than the Xianbei people.
And Dong Zhuo in the east, completely ignoring the opposition of Youzhou officials, marched into the peninsula in large numbers again, and constantly captured a large number of natives, and the reputation was good, educating the common people, this Han who had not read the Confucian classics seriously for a day, actually raised the banner of Confucianism, used to block the mouths of these Youzhou officials, when Dong Zhuo captured batch after batch of aborigines, after entering Youzhou, the speed of the construction project of Chidao increased again.
Dong Zhuo is not a brainless person, he began to reuse those original natives, and used the surviving natives as officials to govern the new natives, these original natives, after becoming officials, treated their compatriots more brutally and fiercely than the Hun army under Dong Zhuo's account, and they added their own pain and oppression to these new natives.
In this regard, Dong Zhuo was very angry, and invited many Confucian students from the Zhiguliang School and the Zuochuan School to give lectures to them and inform them of the great truth, and Dong Zhuo also established a temple of Confucius in the aboriginal residence, so that these natives, these ignorant natives, regarded Confucius as a god in their concept, and thought of Confucian scholars as priests.
In order to obtain the protection of this more powerful god, they are also serious about learning the way of the gods, looking at their somewhat pious appearance, Dong Zhuo couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, however, the Confucian scholars were obviously very happy, and in the later period, Dong Zhuo simply handed over the project to those indigenous officials who mastered the Chinese characters and language, and the Huns were only responsible for patrolling.
Driven by the brutality of these indigenous officials, the project was gradually built from Liaodong to Liaoxi, and was quickly laid towards the destination, and there was a lot less abuse of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo also showed everyone that he did not oppress the natives, but was trying his best to educate them, as for the brutality, it was their own problem, and it had nothing to do with themselves.
Now, even some Confucian scholars began to praise Dong Zhuo, Chen praised him for such an educational work, the role of this gallop road is huge, the project is more vast than the previous gallop road in Luoyang, and it is difficult, because most of the area here is frozen soil, it is extremely difficult to start construction, and I don't know how these natives persevered, under the pressure of Dong Zhuo's gravity, hundreds of thousands of aborigines started the project from various county seats.
In September of the year of Jianning, this long gallop road, finally connected, became the lifeline of Youzhou Jizhou, before, Youzhou's grain transportation was extremely difficult, even if the army was mobilized, it was also very troublesome, but after the construction of the gallop road, the development speed of the entire northern region, I don't know how many times it will increase!
In the past, the pre-Qin was also in order to be able to develop the whole country, so a large number of gallops were established, but their gallops, the appointment of conscription, consumed the strength of the people of the country, the Han used another method to achieve the goal of tyrannical Qin, but did not get notoriety, at least, Dong Zhuo got a piece of Chen Zan, the Han should have such a mission, to educate the world!
When Dong Zhuo was highly praised, there were many scholars in the Han Dynasty, and they began to attack the grassland, the Qiang people, and the indigenous peninsula and other places, one person, one sword, one policy, they wanted to educate the world, such a trend suddenly appeared, Dong Zhuo was happy about this, and if he wanted to attack the surroundings in the future, there would be a reason, so he said that if a scholar was attacked again, he would be able to attack directly, and the scholars and celebrities would not only not insult themselves, but would praise it!
However, after the emergence of such a wave, the Son of Heaven is a little unhappy, the Han Dynasty is now in the period of change, and still needs a lot of talents to serve the country, these scholars think about how to carry forward Confucianism, educate the world, but do not think about serving the country, how is this good? The Son of Heaven was a little hesitant, whether to issue a ban, otherwise what would these scholars do?
When he was hesitating, he suddenly found that the role of these scholars was huge, and they could often become respected objects everywhere by virtue of their excellent charm, and the countries of the Western Regions received these scholars as if they were guests, and these scholars originally came with a sense of mission to promote Confucianism, and they were also very friendly to these people.
At this time, the strength of the Han Dynasty is unparalleled in the world, these small countries, for the Han culture, is also the longing, after someone is willing to teach them the Han culture, in many regions have risen a wave of learning the Han culture, especially in the Western Regions, the most significant impact, perhaps the reason for the long-term stationing of the Western Regions Protectorate, the curiosity of the strong Han, let them quickly into the arms of the Han cultural circle.
They began to use Chinese characters as the language of the state, and in the royal courts in various places, they also used the Chinese language, and even the Chinese characters and the Chinese language became the symbol of the aristocracy, only the nobles could take the names composed of Chinese characters, and among the people, only Liu and Confucius were not advisable, such benefits, the Son of Heaven did not perceive, but the officials on the border were aware of it.
With reverence, these personnel began to pour into the arms of the great man.
The powerful cultural circle of the Han Dynasty absorbed the surrounding areas, and for a time, countless countries sent envoys to Luoyang, they all had only one purpose, that is, to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, and some even hoped that the Han could send officials to accept them, they wanted to become a part of the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven only then noticed the role of the scholars, they were simply more brave than the millions of elites of the Han Dynasty.
It doesn't take much effort to conquer thousands of miles of territory.
It turns out that this Confucianism still has such a role?
