Chapter 54: The Transformation of the Huns
In the empty and quiet palace of the king, Ji Lou Yuan sat in front of the desk in his usual clothes, spread out a bamboo slip, and browsed the information from all over the place at a glance. There was a large stack of wooden slabs on the case, waiting for Ji Louyuan to read it. On these bamboo slips, the Chinese characters of Qing Yishui's official script are neatly written, and it is comfortable to see Ji Lou Yuan for a while.
Ji Lou Yuan has ordered that all official documents and letters presented by the Xiongnu with him are written in Chinese characters. Almost all the Xiongnu people knew that Da Dan was obsessed with and respected Han etiquette, wearing Han clothes, speaking Chinese, and performing Han etiquette. The so-called good at the top, but bad at the bottom, this truth is common to any dynasty, country, and race.
Many Xiongnu nobles subconsciously obeyed it, wanting to curry favor with Ji Louyuan, so Cai Yong's Zhuliao Sect House in addition to a group of Xiongnu children, there were also many rough Xiongnu nobles. Regarding the performance of these "smart people who know the times", Ji Louyuan didn't say anything, and he was really satisfied. After intentionally or unintentionally revealing the news that "these nobles have won my heart", more smart people joined the rolling tide of Xi Han Wen and Han etiquette.
A top-down "sinicization" reform was carried out in a unique way among the Xiongnu tribes, and the enthusiasm of some nobles surprised Ji Louyuan. A group of Huns dressed in Hu clothes, with folds on their shoulders and on their shoulders, said a strange "Zhihu Ye", which is a strange scene on the grassland.
Of course, not everyone has too much support for Ji Louyuan's actions, and there are always conservative diehards in every force. Especially for shamans, if the Huns learn the advanced culture of the Han people, it will cause great losses to their interests, or more ignorant Huns will allow them to maintain their high position.
Sensing Da Dan Yu's move to change customs towards the Xiongnu, a group of people united to stop and persecute Ji Lou Yuan to continue to move towards the abyss of "forgetting his ancestors". There were even nobles who gathered to kill Cai Yong and other Han scholars, but fortunately they were protected by the guards. Ji Lou Yuan is not a good person, and anyone who dares to challenge his majesty will be punished by him most ruthlessly.
A group of old and high-status shamans gathered outside the palace gate, wanting to "admonish them with death". The "empathetic" Da Shan Yu simply made people build a huge cage and trapped the crowd in it, so that the elders and wise men would not be able to stand the hunger and thirst of their bodies and destroy their loyal solar terms of "a piece of Dan heart".
It is a death admonition, and it is natural to die until death, and dozens of nobles and sacrifices who are quite prestigious in the Huns died of thirst and starvation outside the palace gate. After this incident, no one dared to disobey Ji Lou Yuan's thoughts and orders in the slightest, and the shaman with a high status would kill him if he said that he would kill him, even if he had a complaint in his heart, he did not dare to show it.
And the Xiongnu tribesmen were imperceptibly instilled with a concept: in the Xiongnu, the will of Da Shan Yu is above all else!
Offended shamanism, the jealousy in Ji Louyuan's heart suddenly increased by an order of magnitude, and the divine power and the royal power could never be overridden by the Chinese divine power. What's more, Ji Louyuan, a monarch with a strong desire to control, was suspicious of the monarch, where can shamanism still be good, and endless suppression followed.
Originally, Ji Lou Yuan wanted to do it once and for all, simply destroy the religion and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. However, I am afraid that for hundreds of years, the shaman has penetrated into the hearts of the Xiongnu people, and suddenly destroyed it, I am afraid that it will cause uncontrollable turmoil. Belief in this thing sometimes just doesn't make sense, and you have to slow down.
If it is not destroyed, then it is in your hands. Find a person from the shamanic congregation and force him to be the main officer. Use it to continue to fight the shaman's interior and eliminate the threat to Ji Lou Yuan. It didn't take long for the entire Xiongnu shaman to spread more and more slowly into a praise for Da Dan Yu, preaching the rationality and sacredness of Da Dan Yu's rule over the Xiongnu and the grassland.
After entering the summer, Ji Louyuan launched another action among the Xiongnu tribes and began to carry out an in-depth integration of all the Xiongnu tribes, so that the already unpeaceful Xiongnu fluctuated. Learning Xianbei, Ji Lou Yuan divided the Xiongnu into five parts, front and back, left and right, and each placed the tribe under the leadership of the lord.
Break the boundaries between the traditional Xiongnu clans, except for some large clans, and split and merge the rest of the tribes. With 100 households and people as the settlement, 100 commanders are placed; Gather thousands of households and people, and place a thousand commanders; Take five gatherings as a yi, and place a long leader in a yi; Take Wuyi as a part and put a big man to lead. The layers are stacked and the hierarchy is strict.
The positions of the chief of the city and above must be signed and appointed by Da Dan Yu in person, and he is directly subject to the control of Da Dan Yu and the royal court, and reports the situation of the tribe on time. Ji Louyuan's move will completely break the loose structure of the Xiongnu tribes, greatly enhance the centripetal force of the Xiongnu, and the most important thing is that Da Shan Yu and the royal court will directly participate in the rule of the people, which is what Ji Louyuan likes to see.
Ji Lou Yuan's actions made the Huns, who had not changed for hundreds of years, feel at a loss. Small tribes were merged, and large tribes were split. Those in power in large clans are dissatisfied with themselves, and they feel that their interests have been violated and their rights have been weakened. This is not the case with small tribes, who have always been in a dominant position when they are weak, but now they are given the opportunity to compete for a hundred and a thousand long. Da Dan Yu had already ordered that the people at the bottom could compete for positions based on their talents, and in the Xiongnu, the most valued talent was their own martial arts, and many ordinary warriors at the bottom stood out.
Only the Lan clan, Qiu Lin, Xu Bu, Wu clan and other big clans were preserved, but their strength was also seriously weakened. They were divided into the left part by Ji Lou Yuan, and except for the central part directly under Ji Lou Yuan, they were at the head of all the departments.
Several big clans were merged together, which naturally caused a fierce collision, and there was only one tribe adult, and the chief of the city below was enough for them to fight for their heads. Ji Lou Yuan let them compete freely, the tigers competed, and naturally restrained each other, and finally had to ask Ji Lou Yuan to arbitrate, and the result was "taking turns to sit in the village".
Ji Louyuan's move certainly violated the interests of the great nobles, but then it was the Da Dan Yu cronies and nobles led by Zheyu, Dangfu, Fugu Huaijing and others, as well as the civilian military nobles led by Wan Qijin and Wu Huali. They loyally maintained Ji Louyuan's rule over the Xiongnu and supported Ji Louyuan's pace of leading the Xiongnu forward. They knew that everything they did came from Da Shan Yu, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they could only follow without hesitation.
The new Xiongnu system was tried out, and everything was chaotic and chaotic, but the entire Xiongnu was still on the right track under the strict control of Ji Louyuan. Directly participating in the management of the Yiluo has increased the workload of Ji Louyuan, and there are no political talents under him. In order to control all things carefully, many Han people were recruited as assistants, headed by Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi is also a person who has been a Wuyuan Taishou, and he also has some management experience. It is said that this Wang Zhi, for the Han official, is greedy, and the common people are fishy, but under Ji Lou Yuan, he is conscientious and does a good job, and Ji Lou Yuan is satisfied with the reward and gives a lot of things, the house, the guard, the beauty, and the slave, so that he can live a really free life in the United States.
Ji Louyuan also knew that he was really in a hurry, but there was no turning back at the beginning. Fortunately, he mastered the most powerful violent force of the Xiongnu, the army. The most elite warrior tribes of the Xiongnu were basically absorbed by him into the central Xiongnu, and they were controlled by him, giving him the most solid confidence. There are also guards and pro-army, patrolling everywhere without gaps, maintaining the operation of the Huns, and suppressing the chaos and restlessness everywhere.
