239 Five-Element Flag
"What I mean is to set up five element flags, each flag is divided into two flags, such as Jiayimu and Bingdinghuo, and gather these Wuhuan people...... Xuande said in a deep voice.
If you don't slaughter all the Wuhuan people, and one person is a hundred, then you will score a three, six, nine, etc., who is the master and who is the slave? When the British Empire colonized Ah San, there were also many princes of the princely states who helped Ah San, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled, there were also imperial examination scholars and doctors to help, even when it was a fourth-class or something, there were not 80 million second-class officials.
And Liu Bei's meaning is to select the bravest warriors among the Wuhuan people who don't look like Han people and choose them as banner people. Anyone who can be selected as a flag person, and future generations will also be a flag person, and after meritorious service, they can be converted into Han status. As for the other Wuhuan people, they are naturally slaves, called flag slaves, and in addition to farming, flag slaves can also go out with their masters to serve as auxiliaries, so that the Wuhuan people are divided into two oppressed and oppressed ethnic groups, or classes.
Liu Bei first made it clear to the selection of the flag man and the Wuhuan captive, and then let them compete in order to decide who was the flag man and who was the flag slave. When more than 3,000 Wuhuan elite horsemen were selected, Liu Bei distributed some of the Wuhuan people to them as slaves, and the other part was naturally Liu Bei's slaves.
Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered more than 2,000 Wuhuan banner people to clean up the Zahu tribes known as the "hundred tribes" in eastern and western Liaoning.
Xuande divided the more than 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry into 60 teams, each team of 50 cavalry, all followed a team of Han cavalry to record the merits of this sortie against Zahu, and when the Wuhuan cavalry returned, Liu Bei appointed the team leader of these Wuhuan cavalry according to the merits, and each of them commanded 50 cavalry. And the cattle, sheep, horses, and miscellaneous slaves that they had plundered, were equally distributed according to the merit.
Not only this time, but Liu Bei also announced that in the future, all slaves, livestock and goods obtained from the conquest would be fairly distributed according to the merits of the banner people.
This won the military heart of the Wuhuan cavalry, and then, Liu Bei ordered that the original leaders and nobles of Wuhuan be beheaded in the name of betraying the Han family, and these Wuhuan people did not react.
You must know that in the past, the things that these cavalry stole had to be handed over to more than half of these nobles, and now they are all their own, and whoever has their brains in the water will go to those leaders and nobles. Don't look at the slave owners who oppress others now, they were also oppressed by these tribal leaders and nobles in the past.
In fact, this is not a new trick, this relatively fair way of distributing the spoils of war is actually the first step in the rise of the steppe hegemon.
"Sure enough...... What kind of struggle, just catch it! ”
Liu Beizhi was complacent, looking at the hundreds of human heads hanging on the tree, his heart was secretly refreshed.
Originally, these people were all original nobles, and they all had a certain amount of influence in the Wuhuan tribe, and it would be a scourge to keep them, and they were afraid of causing trouble if they were killed.
And Liu Bei only distributed the spoils fairly, and those Wuhuan nobles were abandoned by the warriors of their own clan.
In the final analysis, in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, they were all Wuhuan people, an ethnic group.
This is not wrong, but Liu Bei, as a traverser, knows that there is a way to divide the crowd not according to the ethnicity, but according to what to do.
In addition to Liu Bei's clever methods, Zuo Ci also contributed a lot, he didn't know whether it was magic or magic methods, it was too easy to use when fooling these Wuhuan people, and he fooled the Wuhuan people in a short period of time, and they all became loyal believers of Taiyi God, so it was naturally easier to abandon the original nobles.
Taoism in this era has a strong spirit of rebellion, so it uses the religion adapted by Liu Bei and Zuo Ci after discussion to remove the content that is easy to cause rebellion, and also adds a lot of loyal and patriotic content, preaching that Liu Bei is the descendant of God, which is obviously an imitation of a family known as the first line of the world.
In order to fool the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei worshiped the main god of the Yellow Turban Army, so it is also called Taiyi, and because Liu Bei called the religious leaders Heavenly Master, it is generally called the Heavenly Master Dao.
This Heavenly Master Dao, unlike other branches of Taoism, is just a classic, not a lot of content, and it is full of Confucian ethics and morals. In order to minimize the possibility of rebellion, Liu Bei pulled out all the cult rebellion routines he could think of and whipped the corpse.
If this religion is promoted, then in the future, if there is a Hong sect leader who shouts "so-and-so immortal is on my body", he will definitely be arrested by the common people and killed as a monster.
Seeing that the Heavenly Master Dao was so useful to the Wuhuan people, Liu Bei had already decided to send people to the territory of the Xianbei people to preach.
Not only that, but in the future, the monks of the whole country will be sent to the Mobei grassland, monks and nomads are a perfect match, Taoism or something, I always feel that some painting style is wrong.
These 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry, Liu Bei will take their whole gang into the customs, fight the world for Liu Bei, and recruit Xianbei and Hun cavalry in the future, all of which will be dealt with in this way.
Not only that, Liu Bei will also use them as his most trusted henchmen, and after fighting the world, all those who have not died must be placed in the first good place and major cities to protect Liu Bei and be city residents. It's equivalent to helping them complete urbanization in one go! Urbanization will encounter problems such as high housing prices and high prices, and finally the birth rate will decline.
Even if the birth rate does not decline, referring to those urban soldiers in the Song Dynasty, we also know that after a generation, the descendants of these people will become waste. Qi Shaobao said well in the Art of War, you can't recruit urban people, urban soldiers are too slippery, not as simple as mountain people, and you can't fool around!
It can be said that from now on, Wuhuan is already a historical term, how can Liu Bei not be complacent?
However, there is an even bigger surprise waiting for Liu Bei.
"What! Liaodong has been defeated! Liu Bei's surprise is not trivial.
This time he sent troops to Wuhuan, Liu Bei had no intention of attacking Liaodong at the beginning, and it was a huge success to be able to solve the Wuhuan people in one fell swoop. And since he took the land of Wuhuan, Liu Bei has been thinking about fighting Liaodong, and in history, Cao Cao did not fight Liaodong, but he suffered too much along the way. Otherwise, the territory of the Wuhuan people is not far from Liaodong, they have all arrived here, what is it to fight Liaodong.
But now, before Liu Bei made a move, Liaodong had already been beaten down, and Gongsun Du had also been awarded the head, but it really surprised Liu Bei, and after receiving the information, Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed after reading the ten lines: "It's really worthy of Guan Yunchang, and it's really a famous general......
As for the "famous general Wei Yu" or something, Liu Ye said that it was okay, but he still didn't say it, and he couldn't discourage the enthusiasm of others too much. Xuande sent someone to inform Li Min again, telling him that he had helped him avenge his hatred.
