Chapter 323: Gradual Sinicization
In that period of history, after years of hard work, the unification of the four counties of Wuhuan, the momentum was great, when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan competed, Bun Dun had sent troops to assist Yuan Shao, defeated Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao therefore falsely passed the imperial court edict, and gave the title and seal of the three kings of Nanlou, Su Fuyan, Wuyan and others. Pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info later Lou class grew up, difficult Lou, Su Fuyan led his subordinates to establish Lou Ban as a single Yu, so he abdicated as king, still in power. After Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Shang was defeated by Cao Cao, and turned to seek help from Bunton, when the officials and people of Youzhou and Jizhou fled to Wuhuan with more than 100,000 households, Yuan Shang tried to recapture Hebei with these troops and manpower, and Bunton also wanted to be with Cao Cao for a long time.
But now the Bun Dun has just ascended to the throne, the status is not stable, Shanggu, Liaodong, and the right Beiping, the three Wuhuan are Yang Feng Yin against him, and the Xianbei people are eyeing Wuhuan and want to annex the Wuhuan, when the Bun Dun heard that there was a messenger from the Han Dynasty to come, he hurriedly walked out of the Wuhuan royal court, and greeted the ten miles of land, which was in stark contrast to the arrogance of Xianbei Shan Yu Kuitou.
Tian Chou saw the diligence of the Emperor in his eyes, and he understood that although the current Wuhuan and the Han court did not work closely with the Han Dynasty as before, the Han Dynasty still existed, and it still had a great deterrent effect on the Wuhuan, especially since Jin Liang took power, the central army was invincible, presumably this Ton was also a person with a heart, if he had the support of the general, he would definitely be able to sit on the throne of Wuhuan Shan Yu.
With the intention of seeking the support of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, coupled with Yan Rou's help, Tian Chou successfully persuaded Badun that he was willing to dispatch 20,000 elite cavalry from Wuhuan in Liaoxi to block the contact between Xianbei in the west and Xianbei in the central and eastern Xianbei, and take the opportunity to attack some tribes in the Xianbei in the west.
Yan Rou ran from it, in order to protect the title of Wuhuan lieutenant, Tian Chou also inherited Yan Rou on behalf of Jin Liang, and after the end of the war, after Yan Rou met with the general, the general will definitely recommend Yan Rou as the general of Wuhuan Zhonglang, and it is even possible to seal Yan Rou and lead the Xianbei lieutenant general, which is the same as the general of the Hun Zhonglang, which is one level higher than the original title of captain.
Although Yan Rou is unscrupulous, deep down in his heart he still longs for the recognition of the Han court, as long as the court recognizes him, he will not be like Li Ling who has the reputation of a traitor for the rest of his life and cannot kneel down to worship the ancestral tomb.
Tian Chou left the Wuhuan royal court and learned from the agents of the Ministry of Military Intelligence that Jin Liang's army had arrived in Wuyuan County a month earlier, and had successfully joined forces with the generals of Duliao and Liyi, Zhu Ling, the general of the Huns, and the Southern Huns Shan Yu Huchuquan.
In the past month, Jin Liang took the 40,000 cavalry of the Huns in the south of Huchuquan as the front, with the Liyi Department as the left flank and the Zhu Ling Department as the right flank, and began to sweep from Jiuyuan County of Wuyuan County to the Hetao area, from east to west.
At the same time, Zhao Yun led 20,000 horses to join forces with Wuwei Taishou Ma Teng in Fuping, Beidi County, Ma Teng himself did not go out, but sent his eldest son Ma Chao, the general Pang De, and the eldest daughter Ma Yunlu to lead 20,000 cavalry, under the unified command of Zhao Yun, to advance eastward.
Xu Huang led 20,000 horses to join forces with Liangzhou Mu Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song held his own identity and did not go to battle in person, but sent his son Huang Fu Li to lead 30,000 horses to participate in the battle, and under the unified command of Xu Huang, advanced north.
The three-way army, on the same day, launched an undeclared war and began a fatal blow to a large number of Xiongnu, Xianbei and Qianghu tribes entrenched in the Hetao area.
These tribes have lived in this place for decades or even hundreds of years, they live in the water and grass, grazing cattle and sheep, except for the Xianbei Lao Shan Yu Tanshi Huai in the lifetime of these tribes to give in for a short time, the rest of the time, they are not subject to the rule of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, and do not obey the governance of the Han court, their own forces, living in the Hetao area, as if becoming the master of this world, but they do not know that the place they occupy should have been the Han Dynasty's thousands of hectares of fertile land, and now it is time to take it back.
Jin Liang rode his horse on the Hetao grassland, looking at the green grassland and the blue sky, he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and after a short period of intoxication, Jin Liang came to his senses in an instant. This fertile land was called the Eilechuan during the Northern Dynasty when the Hu people were rampant, and there was a famous song that sang for thousands of years, "Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields." The sky is blue, and the weeds are low to see cattle and sheep. This ballad is very beautiful, singing about the good life of the nomads, and as for the blood and tears of the farming Han people, it is always ignored by the garbage historians who believe in the success of the king and the defeat.
A few miles away, outside a tribe's tent, many Hun men on horseback and with long bows on their backs brandished whips and drove cattle and sheep. Now the autumn is high and cool, it is the season of the herd to get fat, the horses and cattle and the fat sheep grow meat, it always looks so pleasant, these men look at their cattle and sheep are all fat and strong, their hearts are very happy, they all smiled and said: "It seems that there is no need to venture to the south to grab grain this winter, these cattle and sheep alone are enough to survive the winter." ”
Since ancient times, the nomads on the grassland continue to harass the Han people, in addition to some careerists for the picturesque rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, more to find food, the nomads are born by water and grass, in case of a major drought, the water is exhausted, the grass is drought, in case of a blizzard and cold weather, cattle and sheep will die in large areas, and the livelihood is difficult to maintain, the nomads are forced to have no choice but to go south to plunder, of course, it evolved later, to be a robber to do the habit of doing cool, I don't want to be a good herdsman who is kind, enthusiastic, and able to sing the auspicious three treasures.
Jin Liang came here this time to let these nomadic people remember that their original identity was herdsmen, not robbers.
Perhaps it was the actions of Jin Liang's three-way army a few days ago that alarmed the leader of this tribe, and he ran out of the big tent in a panic, blew the horn of the summoning and said: "All adult men, take your bows, bring your arrows, put on your armor, put on your helmets, say goodbye to your women and children, mount your horses, follow this king, and go to meet Jin Liang!" "On the steppe, every tribal leader seems to have the audacity to claim to be king.
"Jin Liang?! That god-killer?! Did he call? "At that time, Jin Liang was notorious in Bingzhou, there were thousands of foreign blood under the stone dragon sword, these Hun men had never heard of Jin Liang's name, hearing his name felt more terrible than hearing the arrival of death, and they all trembled.
The leader of the tribe saw that the men of his tribe were silent when he heard Jin Liang's name, and his soul was not possessed, and he couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard, have you all forgotten that you are the descendants of Maudun? Where is the glory of our Great Huns?! What kind of face do you have to meet our Kunlun God?! ”
Although this head was hoarse and exhausted, but those Hun men were still indifferent, they had heard in the past year that Xihe County, that Shan Yu Huchuquan had surrendered to Jin Liang, and now only these scattered tribes were left in the hinterland of Hetao, Jin Liang was busy crusading against Dong Zhuo, and he had no time to pay attention to them, so they could survive if Jin Liang fought with the strength of the country, and such a small tribe like them would only be sent to death, it would be better to be like Xihe County, The Xiongnu brothers in Wuyuan County either fought for Jin Liang, or grazed for Jin Liang, or simply switched to farming.
This leader named Han Jiang has long been accustomed to the numbness of the herdsmen of his own tribe, and he doesn't care about it, as long as they follow him and deal with those big tribes and alliances, they can't tolerate their cowardice in front of the two armies.
Han Jiang's tribe is not big, there are only more than five or six thousand people, and there are less than 1,000 young and strong men who can fight, and it is inconspicuous compared with the large tribes of some 40,000 or 50,000 herdsmen in the hinterland of Hetao, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, Han Jiang is afraid that Jin Liang will think about his small tribe, so he contacted several big Xiongnu tribes in the west a few days ago, these big tribes used to slaughter various tribes with the Xiongnu royal family, and were included in the nine major tribes of the Xiongnu, and now although they have declined under the engulfment of the Xianbei people, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. It is still available for him Han Jiang to attach.
Just when Han Jiang thought that there was no opposition in his tribe and was about to take these young men to those big tribal alliances, a clear voice came from outside the tent and said, "Han Jiangtou people." Since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing swept across Mobei, since our Huns were divided into north and south, since Dou Xianle Monument Yanran Mountain. Since Huchuquan returned to Jinliang, what glory do we have for the Great Huns, we are just caught between the Han Dynasty and Xianbei, and we are just surviving. I heard that Jin Liang was very friendly to the Hun brothers in Xihe County and Wuyuan County who surrendered to the Han Dynasty, as long as they surrendered sincerely, they would ensure that they had enough food and clothing, and their 'day' life was better than in the past. * Why don't we surrender! ”
Han Jiang was furious, and fixed his eyes on the young man who returned from outside the camp tent, named Han Broom, he left the tribe a few months ago for no reason, saying that he wanted to go to Xihe County to find some way to live, he was frightened because of the return of the kitchen spring to Jin Liang, and he did not stop it at all. Now that this guy is back, it turned out to be disturbing the hearts of the tribe, and it is very likely that this guy will surrender to Jin Liang in Xihe County.
Han Jiang picked up his saber in front of his horse and slashed at Han Broom, saying, "Han Broom." You dare to mess with our army's heart, and you should be killed! ”
Han Broom rode his horse and fled from the camp while shouting loudly: "Everyone listened, Jin Liang is here, only kill this leader, only kill the rebels, as long as everyone is honest, the Central Army will never embarrass everyone." ”
Except for the chieftain's henchmen, whose family was chasing after the young man with him, the other Hun men were all ignoring it and slowly packing up their things. The Xiongnu people have lived in areas close to the Han people for nearly a hundred years, and they no longer have the arduous and arduous 'spirit' spirit of a lifetime on horseback during the Maodun period, and they have the same psychology as the Han people, as long as they can live in peace, they are not willing to fight, let alone fight for the noble leaders who rode on their necks before.
Jin Liangduan sat on the red rabbit horse, holding a glass clairvoyant mirror and looking at the Xiongnu tribe not far away, the returning MID agent had escaped from his tribe, and the head man followed behind with more than 200 people, chasing and killing.
Han Jiang, the leader of this tribe, chased for a few miles, and saw the smoke and dust rolling in the distance, and a large group of cavalrymen were like tigers and horses, like dragons, and the banner was unfurling, and the momentum was extraordinary, Han Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed, could it be that the people and horses of the big tribes in the west were coming? !
In the blink of an eye, Han Jiang saw that the banner of the cavalry was not the flag of the Huns at all, but the banner of the Central Army of the Han Dynasty, with a flying tiger embroidered on the face, a fierce tiger with a pair of wings, and a very powerful demeanor, swallowing mountains and rivers.
Han Jiang couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not a good thing, this is the most 'elite' guard division of the Jinliang Central Army!" ”
Han Jiang hurriedly led his henchmen cavalry to flee back to the camp, Han Jiang thought that the Hun cavalry was the fastest in the grassland, but he didn't expect Jin Liang's Guards Flying Tiger Division to really rush over like a tiger with wings, and rushed over in an instant, while shooting with a powerful horse crossbow, he shouted in Xiongnu language, and the content of the shouts was the same as what the young man Han Broom said just now.
More than 200 people led by Han Jiang were shot and killed in an instant, and all those who surrendered on their knees were shot and killed, and the central army swept this tribe, dispatching 4,000 cavalry, which can be described as lions fighting rabbits.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Jiang turned his horse's head and no longer ran to the tribe, but fled straight to the west.
Han Broom rode his horse to Jin Liang Chitu Horse and pointed in the direction where Han Jiang had fled: "General, that is our tribe leader." ”
Jin Liang squinted his eyes and looked at the past, a fat Hun man was fleeing west under the protection of dozens of remnants of the Huns, and said, "Why didn't he flee back to your tribal station?" ”
Han Broom said with a smile: "General, there are only a thousand young and strong men in our tribe, and most of them are unwilling to die for him, so he has no choice but to go to the big tribes in the west." ”
Jin Liang pointed in the direction of Han Jiang's escape and turned his head and ordered: "Cao 'sex', you send a scout team to follow Han Jiang and see where he is fleeing, find out the information of the tribe there, and report to me quickly!" ”
Cao 'Xing' ordered to send a scout team to follow Han Jiang and go straight to the west.
This is an endless grassland, if the scout team is too close, it can't hide its whereabouts, it can only follow from a distance, more than two miles away from Han Jiang, Han Jiang looked back and saw that there was no trace of the scout, he thought that no one continued to track, and fled to the big tribe with confidence, but he didn't know his trace, and he couldn't escape the clairvoyant mirror in the scout captain's hand behind. After Jin Liang succeeded in making transparent glass a few months ago, he tried his best to make convex lenses and concave lenses to make clairvoyants, and now every brigade general and every scout captain has a clairvoyant mirror in his hand.
Not to mention the scout's pursuit of the head of this tribe, Han Jiang, Jin Liang led 4,000 cavalry to surround this small tribe, and under the persuasion of Han Broom, the ghost of the Huns, most of the people in this tribe bowed down and worshipped, only more than 100 relatives of the same clan of the head man refused to give in, but they were pointed at by thousands of crossbows of the central army, and they were forced to dismount and surrender, but they had missed the opportunity to become Sinicized Huns.
The 6,000 Huns who dealt with this tribe were divided into four types of humanity in the same way as the dozens of Xiongnu tribes that had been swept up before:
There are more than 200 'fine' strong men in the first class, who have good riding and archery skills, and admire the Han Dynasty, so Wang Hua was incorporated into the Central Army, and the Xiongnu Corps is now the name of the Xiongnu Corps, the name of the commander is the Southern Xiongnu, Shan Yu Huchuquan, the actual commander is the general Ju Yi of Duliao, and Zhu Ling, the general of the Huns.
In the second class, more than 1,000 people were unwilling to continue the herding life of chasing water and grass, and were willing to learn farming practices from the Han people, so they were incorporated into the Shuozhou Construction Corps, which was a state that Jin Liang planned to set up in the Hetao area in the future.
There are more than 3,000 herdsmen in the third class who continue to graze in the Hetao area, but they are temporarily restricted from using weapons, their horses, bows and arrows, weapons, and armor are all temporarily confiscated, and they are incorporated into the livestock pastures of the Shuozhou Construction Corps, and follow the scientific animal husbandry method formulated by Jin Liang according to the tragic lessons of the grasslands in later generations.
There are more than 2,000 Huns in the fourth class, who do not want to be sinicized or are no longer qualified to be sinicized, and will also be incorporated into the Shuozhou Construction Corps, but what awaits them is heavy labor in building cities.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, many counties and counties were set up in the Hetao area, and the world was in turmoil at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, most of these counties and counties were abandoned, and the Huns did not understand the technology of building cities, and were not used to living in the city, so they did not repair it, Jin Liang summoned farmers from Bingzhou and Jizhou to rebuild these abandoned cities, and they could summon the people from Bingzhou and Jizhou, which consumed time and food, and it was better to serve the local Huns on the spot.
Jin Liang put all the Xiongnu tribes who were wiped out and did not agree to speak Chinese, learn Han, wear Hanfu, follow Han customs, grow Han hair, marry Han people, and change Han surnames into the engineering team for building the city, and all of them were scattered to avoid their series of rebellions, only pay rations on the same day, not pay wages, and let them build bridges and pave roads after repairing a city. Mining and logging, if this kind of labor transformation still can't make them succumb, can't let them accept sinicization, then let them continue to build cities, anyway, the entire Hetao area has to set up forty or fifty counties within a radius of four or five thousand miles, and four or five hundred dock forts have to be built, and some of these Huns who are not satisfied with sinicization are busy.
Jin Liang did not have much good impression of the Xiongnu who had invaded the border of the Han Dynasty every year, especially the Huns who had invaded the state where Jin Liang lived, and killed Jin Liang's relatives and friends.
Jin Liang did not launch most of the policies this time as in Jizhou and Zhou, and most of the policies were used to encourage and induce, Jin Liang this time to the Xiongnu to implement the sinicization, most of the measures are forced 'sex', you have to do it, otherwise you will go to build a city, although it is not as tragic as the later Manchu Qing Tartars to keep their hair and not keep their heads, but Jin Liang's measures are more effective, because people may be inspired by blood for a while, refuse to accept something, even if they lose their 'sex' life, they will shout that they will be a good man again in 20 years, but if they are made to be the same for decades. The fatigue, the lack of status, and the lack of dignity over time will bring them to their knees.
Jin Liang's army advanced more than a hundred miles to the west, and the scout team that followed the head of the tribe came to report: "General Qiqi, that head man went to a place called Qingyanze, where the jungle is dense, and there are more than 100,000 Hun cavalry. (To be continued.) )
