Chapter 1175: Turning the Clan into a County
For those nomads outside the Saiwai, Ma Chao did some research before crossing. From the beginning of the birth of China to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it seems that the Chinese feudal dynasty has not resolved the contradiction between the two races.
The reason for this is that in the long feudal historical career, they were nomadic and farming, and there was no other possibility except for the essential relationship between wolves and sheep. No matter how many relatives or the Han people rise and expel in the middle, the nomads on the grassland are always like weeds, and the wildfires are inexhaustible. And every time they rise, it is an indelible disaster for the agrarian nation.
Especially before the Xiongnu had just treacherously attacked Chang'an, and 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry rushed into the inner city of Chang'an, burning, killing and looting. Such an ungrateful behavior did give Ma Chao, who adheres to the concept of 'one nation in the world', a slap in the face.
But Ma Chao knows that such a problem is just a small rebound under the big policy and a small regression in the relationship between the two ethnic groups. Why did later generations no longer distinguish between nomadism and farming? That's because after the rise of the commodity economy, the so-called innate definition of nomadism and farming has been swallowed up!
Therefore, in order to completely solve the border troubles in the north, Ma Chao still has to follow his philosophy. However, looking at the excited scene in front of him and the panicked and frightened appearance of the Huns, Ma Chao felt that maybe his solution could be closer or more shameless.
"People," Ma Chao slowly flicked the elephant dragon that was still a little lame, and slowly walked to the front of the Hun army that was already at a loss in his eyes, waved the big gun in his hand, and roared loudly: "Do you still believe me?!" ”
In Chang'an City, the people's personality cult of Ma Chao has reached an incomparable level. His prestige and prestige have long overshadowed the so-called gods and loyalty, and the kind and simple people have the most simple gratitude and feedback psychology for the real people who can provide them with food and clothing. They are willing to put Ma Chao on the altar and take all his words and deeds as a guideline.
As a result, although his words could not cover the entire Chang'an Suzaku Street, with the thunderous transmission of the people, everyone present understood Ma Chao's prayer. After all the people looked at each other for a short time, they couldn't suppress the true emotions in their hearts, and responded loudly: "Believe! ”
"Believe!"
"Believe!!"
The sound of the earth-shaking response roared like waves, and the whole street seemed to become a wave of oaths in an instant. And Ma Chao just pressed his hand calmly, and all the voices gradually calmed down again, and everyone looked at Ma Chao again, looking forward to his next explanation.
Seeing such a scene, Hu Yannu and Jin Buya in front of the Xiongnu really knew how popular Ma Chao was under his rule; And all the Ma Jiajun also knew how their commander was expected by everyone; Especially those defeated generals and Wenchen strategists of the Yuan family and the Cao family, they understand more deeply what kind of prince Ma Chao is with the will of the people and the prestige of the people?
In this place, even the most rooted concept of loyalty and patriotism may not be as good as Ma Chao's looking back and smiling, right? Guo Tu twisted his beard in shock and thought, and under the inadvertent force, a beard was also twisted by the sacred: "Winning the hearts of the people is like this, how can Chang'an be broken by the Huns?" Cao Cao worked hard to plan, but he couldn't have imagined that this Chang'an City had already engraved the mark of the Ma family on his soul, right? ’
In fact, seeing that he is now so virtuous, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel secretly happy and complacent. Even, even the cheeky elephant dragon war horse under his crotch raised his head a little again, and sneezed twice at the night light white that the horse under the ugly brother's crotch had ridden before.
And after this trace of pride quickly flooded his body, Ma Chao quickly conceived the language in his mind, and then pointed at the Xiongnu army formation with a big gun, and said loudly: "Everyone, we have never understood the Xiongnu nation!" What we see is only the blood that has never cooled in the veins of the desert wolf, the blood that yearns for freedom and longs to kill. They are not Qiang brothers who already live in our north and are half animal husbandry and half farming, and for many of them, it is a humiliation to put down the scimitar and pick up the hoe! ”
"So, they've been heading south since they appeared!"
"So, they rushed into our fields and killed our countrymen!"
"So, we have a grudge with them that has been washed away with blood for hundreds of years!"
Speaking of this, all the people of Chang'an recalled the crimes committed by the Huns against them and their ancestors in Ma Chao's impassioned and low-pitched tone, however, in front of their incomparably trusted god of war, they did not have the urge to tear those Huns to pieces at this time, but just whimpered in a low voice, secretly gritted their teeth and cried bitterly like children who had been wronged......
And after all the Huns understood Ma Chao's words, the vigilance in their eyes turned into deep fear and forbearance anger. They thought that Ma Chao had let them enter Chang'an in order to become a headless corpse in full view of everyone to repay the sins of them and their ancestors!
Therefore, even though there were well-equipped and eyeing Ma Jiajun besieging them, they clenched the scimitar in their hands very tightly - they no longer needed words, and they had agreed in each other's hearts that as long as there was more than half a minute of wind and grass, they would bloody Chang'an City!
However, when the atmosphere was weird and tense to the extreme, Ma Chao suddenly put down the spear in his hand again, and he spoke quietly again: "But, have we thought about it, why did they have to climb over the war horse and rush into our rain of arrows when they are only fourteen or fifteen years old?" Why are frail children abandoned to wolves at birth? Why did they sit around with the dung of their livestock when the snow covered the mountains, and let the old people and children freeze to death in pieces among the white snow devils?! ”
"Because, because the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different!" An old pedant dressed as a scribe jumped out and shouted out the words.
"!!" Ma Chao immediately didn't wait for all the people to hear his reply, and kicked this fool away with a single kick: "Because they have never had enough food, they can only use the most cruel means to win the continuation of the race, and use the most shameless and bloody methods to ensure their survival and reproduction!" Without food and clothing, how can we talk about loyalty, righteousness, honesty and trustworthiness, and how can we talk about the heart of the race?! ”
Ma Chao's remarks basically followed the most common and effective incitement process of pyramid schemes: to promote and suppress first, first give these psychologically superior Han people some tolerance, and then use their tolerance to transfer the common sympathy of human nature to the suffering of the Huns. In this way, the two races invisibly have a kind of resonance in their hearts.
And that kind of resonance is very simple: in life, who is fucking easy to live, and who doesn't have a time to cry and die? Since it's not easy for everyone, what can those fights and kills be worth?
Of course, this kind of words can only penetrate into the hearts of those Han people who have not directly suffered from the poison of the Xiongnu. For those who have a broken enmity with the Huns, Ma Chao's words can only prevent them from having no reason to attack the Huns for the time being. But what is clever is that Ma Chao did not say the details of how the Xiongnu killed the Han people from beginning to end, and they could only hold these grudges in their hearts, and chose to remain silent in front of Ma Chao, a strong man who has the absolute right to speak.
And Ma Chao, all he needs is these temporary silences. Right now, what he needs...... It's a childcare.
However, this childcare, Ma Chaonaturally has already been arranged. At this moment, when the people of both races fell into silence and were confused and pondering, a voice appeared in the crowd: "General Tian, what do you want to do?" We listen to you, we believe in you! ”
As soon as this voice came out, everyone seemed to suddenly wake up. After not understanding the high-level flickering of Ma Chao's two families playing fifty boards each, they desperately wanted an answer and a solution.
"That's right! General Tian, what do you say to do?! ”
"General Tian, we will listen to you, only you can completely subdue these Huns...... Eh, the Huns! ”
The foreshadowing was finally done, Ma Chao knew that the bombshell was about to explode, he seemed to feel the deafening sound in advance, touched his ears unnaturally, and said awe-inspiringly: "I want, from now on, in history, there will be no Huns, only a new county newly founded by the Ma family!" The people of this county do not need to farm, but they enjoy all the benefits under the rule of the Ma family. Their reward, in addition to the cattle, sheep and horses, is to become the sharpest knife of the Ma family, kill our enemies, take everything they have, and enrich the life we need! ”
The Ma family wants to annex the Xiongnu as a county?
Such an answer caused silence in the streets, and no one could see any emotion other than the shock in each other's eyes. And Ma Chao looked at this strange reaction, and really began to worry about how to end next. But in just the next moment, everyone's eyes erupted with incomparable pride and fanaticism.
Then, Ma Chao smiled and waved, and the shouts of the landslide and tsunami suddenly broke out. The order on the whole street can no longer be maintained......
