Chapter 185: Turning Hu into Summer
Looking at Liu Bobo and Qi Gan Ali gradually moving away from their backs, Song Xuan's brows furrowed, and he couldn't understand why Wei Shuo still kept Liu Bobo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In Song Xuan's eyes, in fact, after seizing Shuofang, Liu Bobo should be eliminated, how can he allow the other party to come to find trouble every once in a while?
"The body karma wants to talk and stop, but what is difficult to say? Please also tell us bluntly, and listen to it. β
"Lord, Liu Bobo is unkind, and today he is making a big fuss in the Protectorate, why don't you take the opportunity to get rid of him?"
"I don't know about the physical industry, Shuo used to tolerate him because this person is still a talent, and he plans to cultivate it for his own use."
"And at that time, if you wanted to win Shuofang, you still needed to pull him as a cover, so you can't treat the other party lightly."
"And now I don't punish him severely, we need to use him and Qigan Ali as an example, so as to facilitate the implementation of Sinicization reform in Shuofang."
"For more than half a year, Bo Yuan has implemented the new policy with one hand and supported the new Heavenly Master Dao with the other, and finally succeeded in gaining a firm foothold in Shuofang."
"But there is still a long way to go before Shuofang can truly be turned into the foundation of Hexi."
"Now that the Qianghu rebellion has been suppressed, and the Northern Wei Dynasty has sent envoys to peace, the internal and external conditions have matured, and it is time to further implement the Sinicization reform."
"I see, no wonder the lord ordered Gan Ali to change his Han surname, it turned out to be to promote the reform of Sinicization."
Soon, this great reform, promoted by Wei Shuo and implemented by Cui Hao, was first fully implemented in Shuofang.
The first reform: wearing Hanfu.
In October 391, Wei Shuo ordered a reform of the clothing system in the name of the Dadu Protector.
It is stipulated that the subjects of Hexi (except for the soldiers of the Xiang army) shall all wear Hanfu with wide robes and large sleeves, and shall no longer wear Hufu with narrow sleeves.
Since entering the Central Plains, the Hu people have been using their own costumes, and under the rule of the Hu people, the ill-fated northern Han people also wear various Hu costumes, and sometimes even Hu costumes are the status of "national costumes".
The Sinicization reform implemented by Wei Shuo first started with clothing, which has its own reason.
In ancient times, clothing was also known as "clothing", and it was not simply a piece of clothing.
Those colorful fabrics have a lot of additional spiritual values attached to them, which are not only the external characteristics of a nation, but also the most direct embodiment of a nation's difference from other nations.
The Chinese have always called themselves "Huaxia".
The "Book of Shang" explains it: "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. β
Clothing is also a costume, that is, clothing.
And now the clothing reform implemented in Hexi is to make the Hulu costumes, which symbolize barbarism and backwardness, completely disappear, and let the Han costumes, which symbolize civilization and progress, regain their dominance.
In addition, allowing the Hu people to change to Hanfu can also reduce ethnic contradictions and enhance the Hu people's sense of identity with China.
The second reform: speaking Chinese.
There is a famous saying in the West that the best way to destroy a nation is to eliminate the language that bears it.
Language is the most essential characteristic of a nation, the blood of a nation, and the carrier of national cultural inheritance.
Therefore,Language reform is also the most important part of the Chinese reformγ
In this regard, Wei Shuo personally set the rules: starting with officials at all levels, gradually eliminate other Zhuhu languages, and change all to Chinese.
In order to play a deterrent effect, Wei Shuo also acted in a scene with his subordinates.
At that meeting, Wei Shuo proposed to eliminate Hu Yu in a short period of time and gave a specific plan.
"From today onwards, Hexi should cut off the Hu language, and all should be practiced in Zhengyin (that is, Chinese)."
"Those who are over the age of Chinese New Year's Eve are allowed to learn to speak Chinese slowly because their habits are difficult to change."
"Under thirty, all those who are in the imperial court should immediately change to Chinese; If there is a knowingly offense, he should be demoted and dismissed. β
"It's so gradual, and the weathering can be renewed!"
"Shuo doesn't want to count the generations later, and the Central Plains will be all sent to the left."
At this time, Zong Chang, who had already been instructed, immediately stood up and retorted: "There are many languages in the four directions of the world, who stipulates that it is Zhengyin?" Which language is convenient, which language is the correct sound! Why bother to change the old and start with the new. β
This remark angered Wei Shuo all of a sudden, and he immediately said to Zong Chang: "Mrs. Qing has disappointed Bendu Hu, and you should be allowed to punish Yu Shi with you." β
Hearing this, Zong Chang hurriedly took off his hat and crown to apologize and admit that he was wrong.
This is a play, how could Wei Shuo really kill Zong Chang?
As long as the goal of killing chickens and monkeys is achieved, it is enough, so he pardoned Zong Chang and ordered the introduction of the Chinese language.
The third reform: change the surname to Han.
The costumes have changed, the language has changed, and the next thing Wei Shuo has to do is to change the "name".
After changing to Hanfu, Wei Shuo practiced Wenshuo in the name of Dadu Hu, and asked all Hu people to change their original surnames to Han surnames.
Qi Gan Ali is a little older, and he has long seen the power of the Sinicization reform, while Liu Bobo is young, and he only thinks that changing his surname is a very interesting thing.
Originally, Wei Shuo thought that the surname Liu was very good, but Liu Bobo had to change his surname.
He also said: "My ancestors moved from the north to Youshuo, and changed their surname to Ji, because the language is different from the Central Plains, so the surname of my mother is Liu." β
"And the son takes his mother's surname, but it is not in line with Chinese etiquette."
"There is no rule in the clans of the ancients, some use the place of birth as the clan, and some use the title of the grandfather as the clan."
"I am going to change my surname to Helian according to righteousness, hoping to be the same as the will of God and enjoy endless auspiciousness for a long time."
Watching the famous Helian Bobo in history born under his nose, Wei Shuo had an indescribable feeling.
Perhaps Wei Shuo didn't expect that his move today would allow a large number of Hu surnames to completely integrate into the Chinese nation, and gradually integrate with the Han nationality, forming a huge aristocratic group: the Guanlong aristocratic group.
The Guanlong aristocracy rose in the northwest, among which the Hu and Han talents were mixed, not only to sit and talk, but most of them were civil and military all-rounders.
It is precisely by relying on this group of brilliant talents who "can write to calm the world, and martial arts can set the world" that Wei Shuo has established an unprecedented great empire.
The fourth reform: marriage.
The so-called intermarriage refers to the promotion of intermarriage between Hu and Han people.
Prior to this, there was a well-defined divide between the Han and Hu people.
The two groups looked at each other on both sides of the chasm, full of wariness and other complex emotions.
Wei Shuo's advocacy of intermarriage is actually to bridge this gap, and he wants to make the Han and Hu people change from mutual wariness to mutual harmony.
The blending of bloodlines can undoubtedly accelerate the progress of the sinicization of the Hu people, and the descendants of the Han people and the Hu people, of course, will appear in China as the image of the Han people.
Wei Shuo even took himself as an example, even he took Princess Diqin as his concubine, and other families and officials should not reject the Hu family.
To this end, he also actively matched his subordinates, and successively married the Hu and Hanhao families for the Fuqu Mengxun brothers, Cui Hao, Kou Zan and others.
The fifth reform: change of nationality.
The main content of this measure is that all Hu people living in Shuofang will be renamed Shuofang people when they register their household registration.
As a result, a large number of Hu people from all walks of life gathered from the south and north of the world, without exception, have become authentic Shuofang people, and this measure has completely cut off the possibility of Hu people seeking their roots and asking their ancestors.
Wei Shuo's Sinicization reform measures, like the wind blowing the grass, vigorous, unstoppable.
Although there were many Hu people who were disgruntled, they could only obediently obey because of the prestige of Hexi.
There is no doubt that this Sinicization reform promoted by Wei Shuo was quite successful.
It promoted ethnic integration in Hexi at the expense of the Hu people, and reduced ethnic differences and ethnic estrangement between Hu and Han.
The nomadic people in the north gradually converged with the Han nationality in terms of language, clothing, customs and habits, so that the Chinese civilization was enriched and developed again after the catastrophe.
In fact, the impact is two-way, and at the same time that the Hu people were sinicized, the Han people were also "Hu" to a certain extent.
Although this reform set off a huge wave in Shuofang, it benefited from the good external situation: the Northern Wei Dynasty was busy with the Northern Expedition, and the Later Qin wanted to destroy the Former Qin, so they had no time to pay attention to Hexi, and tens of thousands of Hexi troops were waiting for it, so the reform was finally carried out smoothly.
Hexi's Sinicization reform has an obvious characteristic, that is: fast.
This is also a last resort, and the current situation does not allow Wei Shuo to follow suit, and can only adopt a storm-like mode.
Fortunately, the party was not large, and even if there was any turmoil, it could be quickly suppressed, so the reform was generally smooth.
