Chapter 9, Pei Gai's poison
In fact, Lu He hadn't read anything, and when he first arrived in Huaiyin, he was still completely illiterate, and he was forced to read and write after he was in the army. The words in his mouth sounded very organized, mixed with idioms, but they were all based on the cats and tigers, and they were all the daily teachings of Pei Cai.
Pei Gai wanted to unify his thinking and boost morale in the army, knowing that it was not enough to incite racial hatred. You must know that many of the displaced people he collected had never even seen the Hu people or other foreign tribes, and they were forced out of their hometowns by officers and soldiers, thieves, and armies attached to Hu (such as Wang Mi, Cao Wei and others). Therefore, his hatred of Hu is probably not as strong as his hatred of the government......
Therefore, Pei Gai's preaching of "Jin and Hu are not mutually exclusive" is much more complex and profound than racial hatred. He said to the generals: "My China is blessed with fertile land and a suitable climate, but there is no harsh government in the officials, the people are safe, everyone can live, and they can have food and clothing." The Hu people are remote and follow the water and grass to graze, and their lives are hard, so every time the Hu people hate not to be born in China, they ......"
This is indeed true, according to historical records, many heroes of foreign nationalities, after coming into contact with Chinese civilization, are deeply remorseful, hating themselves for not being Chinese - including Liu Yuan and Shi Le, all have this kind of thought. The result is that when you are outside of China, you will want to plunder the rich land of China, and when you really enter the hinterland of China and gain a foothold, you will start to sinicize.
It's just that the road of sinicization is not so easy to walk.,For ordinary people,From Han to Hu,There's no difference.,Only a good government should be-including farming government and nomadic government-is the well-being that you can look forward to.。 For foreign magnates, Conghu can drive the people to enjoy glory in peace, and Conghan may not be able to get any benefits. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Chinese class has become more and more fixed, and outsiders can't squeeze in at all.
Liu Yuan is like this, he is proficient in Confucian culture, if he is a Jin person and is in a family, it is not rare for a high-ranking official to be a lord, but because he is Hu Shuai, he was called by several vassal kings of the Sima family, like a lackey, in a fit of anger, he simply pulled the flag and rebelled. Liu Yuan didn't have much ambition at the beginning, and he was all forced out by the Sima family...... In addition, the Sima family also has a good opportunity in the world, isn't it?
Later, why was Emperor Wei Xiaowen able to implement the policy of sinicization? Because he is already the lord of the Central Plains, no matter whether he uses Hu Zheng or Han Zheng, his identity as emperor will not change, and the Chinese scholars look down on me? Just cut it. The Xianbei nobles under him are different, they would rather be the mouth of the chicken than the queen of the cow, no matter how hard you work, can the surname Yuan squeeze into the queue of the family's gate valve?
Therefore, the sinicization of foreign nationalities is a bumpy and long process, and there are many repetitions in it - for example, the six northern towns that have been marginalized because of the sinicization policy have set off a great rebellion. The Gao family, who had risen from the ranks of the rebels, was influenced by this and became the vanguard of the anti-Sinicization movement. But it's also interesting.,The Yuwen family, who was also born in six towns.,Maybe you have to set a banner to fight against the Gao family.,Where the Gao family opposes it, I have to insist.,It's actually quite completely sinicized......
The tide of history, mighty, does not change due to personal will, and eventually civilization will still defeat barbarism, and the Xianbei Han Gao's fell in front of the Sinicized Xianbei Yuwen's family......
Pulling back and saying that such a big truth, Pei should only selectively indoctrinate his subordinates, he said: "There is no distinction between Hu and China, only virtuous and unscrupulous." Hu enters China, if he can speak Chinese words, write Chinese characters, and use Chinese customs and Chinese politics, he can be regarded as a Chinese - for example, Jin Riyan of the former Han Dynasty...... Well, let's talk about Kim Il-pan later. However, Hu Zhi's commander drove his people to kill like dogs and horses, which is not like China's government, there are laws and regulations, and those who violate them will be severely punished. If he is a Chinese, he must be bound by the law, and he is reluctant to change his mind - or he wants to give birth to China, but in fact, he cannot really be self-disciplined as a Chinese.
"Therefore, when they enter China, they know how to plunder and trample on the acres of land, and only hope that the fertile soil of the Central Plains will turn into a grassland desert, and the Chinese people will be their servants, is it tolerable but unbearable? Therefore, 'Jin and Hu do not stand together', not only the Xiongnu and Qian, but also Di, Qiang, and Xianbei. He is outside the land, and he is willing to submit, and does not plunder, but he does not care; If you enter China and do not obey the government of China, you will be killed!
"Man is different from dogs and horses, because he has spirituality; China is different from Hu in order to use China's politics. People are higher than dogs and horses, and China is also higher than Hu, and those who follow Hu are equivalent to unwilling to be people, and willing to be dogs and horses. If you want to be in the herd of dogs and horses, as its leader, you can offer sacrifices, and be proud of the head of the temple, isn't it ridiculous?! ”
Everyone bowed their heads, and only Zhen followed this barbarian to sing the opposite tune again: "Du Du Yunjin is a human being, and Hu is a dog and a horse, so what about my Nanban, is it also a dog and a horse?" If you are a dog or a horse, can you let people kill them? ”
Pei Gai glared at him and scolded: "If you are willing to be a dog and a horse, you will naturally kill people!" Dogs and horses can't be people, Hu can be China, can't barbarians be for China? You are under my command now, why should I treat you with dogs and horses?! ”
Zhen Sui snorted and said: "That's what I said about China, from Chinese customs, and I still wrote ...... I only know a few words......" and then raised his eyebrows: "According to the Governor's intentions, am I Chinese now?" ”
Pei Gai nodded: "In the future, if we wait for the troops to enter the Central Plains, if we meet Hu Cai, we can attack it, and if we refuse to surrender, we can kill it." If he defects and surrenders and wishes to return to China, he must disperse his people, so that they can be transformed into Chinese. "National integration is possible and should be, but one must be barbaric to civilization, and nomadic to agriculture - even if no matter who is taller than the other, after all, my ass is sitting on the side of the agrarian people! The second is not to break the old, primitive clan form, nomads can not farm with peace of mind after entering the Central Plains, and cannot become the government's household Qi people, then it cannot be regarded as real submission, sinicization, and sooner or later there will be a big mess.
When Cao Cao moved the five Xiongnu into the Central Plains, he was not ruthless enough to break the organizational form of the nomads - or it was not long enough to break it - otherwise, Liu Yuan would have the ability to climb the heights, and all the followers were Chinese, or the Sinicized Hu people, and he would definitely not establish a loose Hu and Han regime with China as the surface and the Xiongnu as the inside. If Liu Yuan really established a pure Chinese regime, then why not use the Han Dynasty to Jin?
Of course, his descendants have to be more violent and shameless than the other......
It is precisely because the nomadic organization has not been broken that the foreigners who have been sinicized will slide back to the old road by the way, not only Liu Yuan, but also Shi Le, there is nothing good in the heirs - it's a pity, I couldn't kill Shi Hu at the beginning, Ji Zhan is really a complete waste!
Pei Gai is not only good at telling big truths, but also able to instill these big truths in plain language to the generals in simple terms - it may not be possible to change a pure scholar of the times - so the Xuzhou army up and down was all brainwashed by him. You must know that the Chinese people are still generally afraid of and respect authority, Pei Gai is not only a commander, but also from a high-ranking family, and most of the soldiers and generals who do not learn naturally think that what the governor said must be the truth. Unlike Bian Yan and other scholars, after coming to listen to it a few times, he just smiled - it is estimated that even if he thinks that what Pei Gai said is a little reasonable, he will not easily change his inherent worldview.
To paraphrase the words of later generations, most of the generals in Xuzhou are not only Pei Gai's subordinates, but his "iron fans", they are willing to fight for the governor, are willing to die for the governor, and even believe that the governor can not only lead them from victory to victory, expel Hu Lu, pacify the world, but also build an official government that is a hundred times better than before. Of course, in the era when there was no megaphone, it was impossible for Pei to convene a meeting of 10,000 people to give a keynote speech, and he mainly brainwashed the chief and deputy governors of each battalion, Sima and others, and then ordered them to convey it; At the same time, when inspecting the battalions and teams every three or five hours, he even went to the military cantonments and civilian cantonments, gathered military officials and elders in the fields, and strengthened indoctrination again.
Naturally, the depth of "Pei Gai's poison" among military generals is also different, like Zhen Sui, it is estimated that he is only a slight patient, while Lu He is a serious patient, and his head is full of Governor's teachings, so he almost compiled a red treasure book and held it high. Almost all of what he said in the face of the enemy general today was Pei Gai's original words, and he had already memorized them very well.
Liu Guang on the other side also has a brain disease, but he is a patient with "Chinese disease", and Pei Gai said that "I hate not being born in China", and he also has a share. In fact, further up, Liu Dan is the same, among the Xiongnu nobles who first followed Liu Yuan to raise troops, many of them hope to have the opportunity to change their faces, even if they change blood, they will become Chinese...... Being Chinese or not is no different. They won't let me be a Chinese, won't it be over if I knock China down?
That's why Liu Guang said: "When I enter China, I will be Chinese, so why should you be conceited to be a Chinese?" "Think of him Liu Guang, don't look at the rough birth, in fact, reading poetry and books at an early age, he is also a cultural person, if in the peaceful and prosperous times, there is an opportunity to show filial piety and honesty - of course, as a foreigner, and not a nobleman in the headquarters, he has become a county and county official to the sky - but after the establishment of the Hu Han Kingdom, he became Liu Dan's tribe, and the upward channel will be more open in the future, so what difference does it make if you are Chinese or not, or if others are not Chinese?
It's just that because of this, Liu Guang still can't help but sincerely admire the "high theory" of the enemy general, so he started a little lighter, and just wanted to shoot Lu He off the horse, so that he could be tied up to show his merit to Liu Dan, and at the same time asked Liu Dan for pardon and appointment of this general. As a result, he couldn't cut through Lu He's breastplate with a knife, and it felt very hard, and he couldn't help but be shocked - he was wearing iron armor, and sure enough, as the adult said, this must be the elite of the Xuzhou army!
Lu He was slashed through the breastplate, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on half of his body, and his heart was so dangerous-if it weren't for the fish scale iron armor given by the governor, my life would be at risk today! The two horses staggered each other, and a personal soldier had already handed over a spear, and Lu He had a spear in his hand, but he couldn't help but hesitate: The enemy general is too brave, I am not his opponent, but what should I do?
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a gong behind me.
——————————
Liu Yi and Liu Dan climbed the high oars and watched the battle, and Xiong Yizhi on the other side was not stupid, he ordered his subordinates to cut down a tree, plant it in the formation, take off his armor, and climb up.
He was originally a small landowner in Nanjun, but after the Hu Kang Rebellion, his hometown was ruined, and he was forced to go into exile in Xuzhou - among the first batch of refugees recruited by Pei Cai in Jiangbei, there was this person - although he was not good at arching horses, but because he could endure hardships and train hard, he had to stand out, and he was promoted to the right deputy governor of the "Wulin Battalion", and he was still above Lu He.
Xiong Yizhi has three strengths, one is to recognize words - Gao Le and Lu He's literacy is mainly taught by him - the second is to know water, the third is to be agile in all four bodies, can run long distances, and is also good at climbing, so he is gradually appreciated by Gao Le, and Lu He also respects him as "Brother".
Now Xiong Yizhi has shown his unique skills, light and agile, and jumped up to the top of the tree in three or two. With this ascension, the battlefield situation was unobstructed, and his eyesight was good, and he could almost see the dress of Liu Yi and Liu Dan clearly. You must know that Hu Han's crown clothes are basically from the Jin Dynasty, and old Huns like Liu Dan may still be used to Hu clothes, Liu Yi, as the emperor's younger brother, must be dressed in glory - and he is in a high turret, in order to maintain balance, he has no armor. Xiong Yizhi looked at it, I seem to be a big man by the other side!
Looking at the battle array, Lu He and his troops had already broken into the Hun formation, almost invincible. You must know that the Xiongnu headquarters soldiers are also strong and weak, the real sharp soldiers, how can Liu Cang send them to make contributions to Liu Yi? It's enough to look at the barely smooth surface. Therefore, these Hu soldiers were not the opponents of the Jin army at all, and they were about to collapse.
Xiong Yizhi was feeling rejoicing, and suddenly saw hundreds of horsemen galloping out from the flanks, like a boulder, blocking the torrent of the Jin army. After observing the time of half the incense, Xiong Yizhi knew that it was difficult to win, so he ordered Mingjin - it's time to retreat, don't wait for a while and not come back.
Originally, Lu He went here to frustrate the enemy's sharp edge, and if he wanted to defeat the Hu army in one fell swoop, it was completely impossible, and it was not easy to do - especially when those elite Hu rode up. Although the enemy position is chaotic now, it is difficult to further expand the results of the battle, so why not retreat?
When Lu He heard the sound of the gong, he immediately abandoned Liu Guang, rushed towards the oblique stab, and rode off his horse with a spear. Liu Guang urged the horse to chase after him, but because the formation was chaotic, the enemy and me were mixed, and it was difficult to get close. Lu He took this opportunity to restrain his soldiers and slowly retreat - three rounds of arrows were also released on the road to stop the pursuers. Later, Xiong Yizhi also came down from the tree, and before he could put on his armor, he ordered three teams of soldiers to go forward to meet the return of friendly troops.
Because Liu Guang had few soldiers, his own soldiers were already in chaos, and it was difficult to respond, so he did not dare to chase after him. After forcing Lu He back, he went down to the high oar to report to Liu Dan. Liu Dan asked him: "What is the enemy's situation?" Liu Guang replied honestly: "There is no comparable elite in the world, if there are twice as many of them, I am afraid that our army will definitely be defeated!" ”
