Chapter 23: Yizhou County Strategy (2)
After Mo Feng finished speaking, a group of people stared at each other, and they didn't know what to say. The words were shocking and endless, and for a while, they didn't react.
What Mo Feng said is actually a very common concept in later generations, fifty-six nationalities are one flower, and the nationalities are integrated! It's just that in the hearts of Zhao Wutang and others, they haven't formed this concept yet.
"Feng'er, this is the ......" Originally, Zhao Wutang wanted to say "the emperor's technique of controlling the people", but he changed his words in an instant, "This is the great plan of the country, in the long run, it can completely put an end to the barbarian rebellion and let the barbarians be used by me." ”
Mo Feng nodded, in fact, there was still one thing he didn't say: intermarriage. Through intermarriage, the estrangement between the two ethnic groups was completely resolved, and the barbarians were integrated into the Celestial Star Empire and completely became a part of the Celestial Star Empire.
In his original world, that's what the Han people did. Five chaotic China, the Han people crossed to the south, the Han people in the north did not survive, and the Xianbei people gradually became the masters of the north. But later, the Xianbei people integrated into the Han nationality and disappeared into the long river of history. The Han nationality has a long history and a long history.
Racial assimilation is better than genocide. It's just that Mo Feng also understands that now is not the time to talk about this. If we want to realize this great and arduous historical task, it will require the efforts of several generations or dozens of generations, and this is not an overnight thing. Moreover, there is a hard condition for this, that is, it needs the strong support and promotion of the ruler.
In the Guanying Empire, from the emperor to the hundred officials, no one has such courage and thought, they just want to survive in Yizhou now, hoping that the Celestial Star Empire will not perish in their hands.
Looking at Zhang Jian, who was still surprised, Mo Feng touched him slightly and said, "Captain Zhang, what do you think?" ”
Hearing Mo Feng call himself, Zhang Jian also came back to his senses: "Okay! Good! General Mo's idea was very good, which not only strengthened the military strength of Zhuti County, but also allowed the people of Zhuti County to live a better life. From not offending each other to communicating with each other, this is simply the gospel of the people of my Juti County!
I should come down first in this matter, and Lu Taishou will definitely agree. However, Captain Lao Mo recorded what he just said, and I, Zhang Jian, am a rough person, and I can't remember those for a while. ”
"That's easy to say!" Mo Feng smiled, and then said to Zhao Wutang: "Mo Feng please go and negotiate with the barbarians, so that our army can pass smoothly." ”
Zhao Wutang nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, Feng'er will go hard!" Zhang Duwei, I also bother you to go with Feng'er, if there is no consent from you, then Feng'er's words are not enough to convince the barbarians. Also, bring the two guides with you, they have dealt with these barbarians after all, and with them, you can talk better."
"No, the last general will obey!" Then, he looked at Mo Feng, "General Mo, then let's go!" ”
"Captain Zhang, wait a minute, take off your armor first. This time, we don't need to bring any weapons, we don't need any protection, all we need is sincerity. ”
Zhang Jian said "um": "If that's the case, then according to what General Mo said." ”
So Mo Feng and Zhang Jian came to the barbarian camp wearing only their battle robes.
It's just that when the barbarians in the stockade saw Mo Feng, Zhang Jian, Badu, and Wushu, who had been walking in the mountains for a few days, appear in front of them with a somewhat disgraced face, they thought that they were defeated soldiers from somewhere.
Since ancient times, it has been a long-standing law that defeated soldiers have bullied the people. Therefore, the moment they saw them, the barbarians took out their homemade spears and spears one after another, and surrounded the four of them.
Seeing the barbarians surrounding them, Badu and Wushu hurriedly explained: "Brothers, brothers, we are Badu and Ushu, who often hunt in this mountain, and sometimes live here with you!" Don't the brothers remember our brothers! ”
At this time, an old man with a cane came out of the stockade, and when he saw him coming, Badu and Wushu shouted: "Old patriarch, old patriarch, it's us, Badu and Ushu!" We brought friends to see you coming. ”
"Friends? Are you two dizzy when I am a bone fighter, are these two stragglers of the Celestial Star Empire friends, I see, they are friends and enemies! The old patriarch Ah Gu came up and scolded Badu and Wushu.
Mo Feng couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, it seems that these barbarians regarded me and Zhang Jian as the defeated soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire, and they knew this earlier, so they didn't take off their armor.
"Respected old patriarch, under Mofeng, the general of the righteous army. The person next to me is Zhang Jian, the governor of Zhuti County, and we are from Zhuti County. It is not the stragglers in your mouth, but I came to Guizhai this time in the hope of borrowing from Guizhai so that my army can pass. You see, we have removed all our armor and swords, which is enough to show our sincerity. ”
"Ridiculous, do the officers and soldiers have a situation like you? Besides, what do the officers and soldiers need to borrow from us? Do you think I'm so easy to fool? Ah Gu was angry, and in a fit of rage, he slammed his crutches on the ground several times.
At this time, a young man ran in and shouted, "The official army is coming, the official army is coming!" Hearing this, the barbarians panicked, and brought the young man to Aguta: "Tell me slowly, what is the situation? ”
"Old patriarch Qiqi, the officials and soldiers are here, there are many, many, and they are about to arrive at our village!"
Hearing this, Ah Guda believed that Mo Feng was not lying, and the official army was really here.
"What the hell are you doing here?" There was some timidity in Ah Guta's tone.
Mo Feng still had a smile on his face, not at all shaken by the panic of these barbarians: "Old patriarch, every word of my Mo Feng is true, and there is not a single falsehood. ”
"What if there are no lies, we haven't rebelled like Meng Bao and them, I'm not afraid of you."
"I know, old patriarch, you don't have the heart to rebel, and I also said that I just borrowed from Guizhai to go to Yizhou County!"
"Aha, I know, you didn't have any good intentions, it turned out that you were going to fight Meng Bao, then I can't borrow it, I can't let you kill our kindred!"
For this stubborn old man, Mo Feng is really helpless, and it seems that he can only make a big move.
"Old patriarch, we came to Guizhai this time, firstly, to borrow the way, and secondly, to show you a clear way."
"Ming Lu, what Ming Road? Aren't you officials hurting us enough? You don't treat us as human beings, and you levy all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on us poor villages, you are trying to force us to death! ”
"Old patriarch, those who hurt you should be the officials of Yizhou County, and they should be killed by the barbarian king Meng Bao at this moment. And we, the Guiyi Army, have just come from Hanzhong. This person next to me is Zhang Duwei of Zhuti County, and I think you also know that Lu Taishou of Zhuti County has never violated you under his rule! ”
"Of course, we all know Taishou Lu's character, and we admire him very much."
"That's easy......" Mo Feng laughed happily, and then told Ah Guda about the suggestions he had made to Zhao Wutang and them.
"This, this ......" After listening to Mo Feng's words, Ah Guda was already speechless in surprise.
"Old patriarch, what this general said is true, he didn't lie to you. Just now when they were discussing how to get through our stockade, my brother was there. Badu walked over and said respectfully to Aguta.
Zhang Jian also walked up: "Old patriarch, I am Zhang Jian, the governor of Zhuti County. Let's put it this way, in Zhuti County, except for Lu Taishou, I am the biggest, and I can guarantee that everything General Mo said is true. On behalf of the officials at all levels in Juti County, I would like to welcome the old patriarch and all the villagers, and when this war is over, you will be the people under the jurisdiction of my Juti County.
As long as you abide by the law and don't do those things that violate the law, you will be taken care of by my Juti County. And, after the end of this war, I will also ask the Empire for your credit. ”
Listening to Mo Feng and Zhang Jian's tempting matters, and looking at their smiling faces, Ah Guda's heart was finally moved.
Let the lads go to the soldiers to eat food and wear the armor of the spirit; You can trade with the rich merchants of Juti County, and help them build roads in the mountains; The most important thing is that their babies can go to school just like those babies of the Celestial Star Empire.
Not only Ah Guta, but also the hearts of the barbarians were touched. These are things that they didn't dare to think of in the past. Now, as long as they make way for the army, everything is at their fingertips.
Ah Guda thought about it for a while, and finally smiled: "Fellow villagers, our distinguished guests are here, quickly welcome them into the village, and then go to a few young offspring to welcome those military masters who are still outside." ”
Then Ah Guda smiled at Mo Feng and Zhang Jian and said, "Two generals, if you don't think that the village is simple, please go to the village to talk in detail." The brothers of the generals have their own descendants to greet them. ”
Mo Feng and Zhang Jian glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes, and the matter was done!
"Okay, please"!
They followed the old patriarch into the stockade, and the two sides discussed about a stick of incense, and finally implemented the policies that Mo Feng gave to the barbarians, and Mo Feng also helped both Zhu Tijun and Ah Guda to draft a contract similar to the later generations, indicating the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Zhang Jian and Ah Gu looked at it, and they had no objections, so they pressed their handprints on the "contract".
At Mo Feng's suggestion, Zhang Jian did not wait for the end of the war to implement these things, but immediately called his personal guards and asked him to send their share of the "contract" to Taishou Lu Mao.
After replenishing some dry food in the stockade of Aguta and asking a young barbarian as a "witness", more than 6,000 soldiers set out for the stockade in front of them.
After walking for five days in a row, he passed through two barbarian villages, under the same conditions and with the same treatment, Zhang Jian, on behalf of Zhuti County, reached an agreement with the two villages. From then on, the barbarians in the three stockades, from Juti County to Yiju County, deep in the mountains, became the subjects of Juti County.
After replenishing some dry food from the last village, the soldiers walked for two more days in the deep mountains and old forests, and finally, they came to the territory of Yizhou County.
