Section 667 Pacification of the Turks
For the Hu people, the sword is the best way to communicate with them, and if you hurt them, they will be obedient. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Tang army stationed in the three surrendered cities achieved the strategic goal, they beat the Turks solidly, and let the Turks know that the Tang people are not easy to mess with, and now Wei Xi comes out to pretend to be good people and surrender them!
In the past, the Tang people treated the Turks with only two ways out, one was the dead, and the other was the slaves.
Choosing one of the two, the Turks refused to accept any option.
The third way out: become a Tang person!
As long as you become a Tang person, become a household (into the household registration), you can get the due treatment of the Tang people, they can be divided into fields, pastures, have the right to education, can drink the good tea and wine of the Tang Dynasty, drink as much as you can, not like outside the plug, drink tea residues and wine tails!
Although they have to pay taxes and serve in the military for the Tang Dynasty, they are not the same cattle and horses in the tribe! The orderly life of the Tang Dynasty is actually a good thing for the vast number of tribes, and the number of Turks who died at the hands of their own clan was far greater than the number that died at the hands of the Tang people.
Hu people are ruthless to Tang people? Be more ruthless to your own people!
In contrast, the Tang people were far more gentle to their own tribes, slaves and servants than the Hu people were to their own people.
……
The third road given by Wei Xi was sent by Hei Zhi Changzhi to travel with flags and flags, and the words "Fufu" were written on the flags, marking a series of prominent identities such as the Tang Dynasty's horses, the general of the left guard, the secretary of the inspection school and the military department, the secretary of the inspection school engineering department, the general general, the general doctor, the county prince of Dengfeng, 1,800 households in the food town, and a series of prominent identities such as "Wei" in the pillar country.
The troops arrived on the steppe to appease the Turks, and those who were willing to come all became Tang people.
The opportunity is rare, there is no store in this village, and there is no boat in Suzhou!
News hit the grassland like a storm!
Three days later, the Turks came in an endless stream, one after another, one tribe after another.
They were emaciated and ragged, but there was infinite hope in their eyes!
Other Tang generals said that they wanted to appease them, but they were afraid that it was a trap, but when Wei Xi came, they believed it.
It is precisely because of his strength that he killed a lot of Turks, and he wants to deal with the Turks, kill them directly, and disdain to deceive them!
So the Turks believed!
There is a large lake thirty miles away from the middle of the city, there are streams crisscrossing the lake, swamps everywhere, shrubs are overgrown, and the water and grass are extremely abundant.
On the hill by the lake, Wei Xi set up his tiger skin gold chair, he sat on the chair, his big bow was erected behind his back, and the generals were lined up on the left and right.
In front of him there were five thousand infantry on the left and right in two majestic phalanxes, and in the rear of the Great Tent on the left and right there were ten thousand cavalry each.
They witnessed together the proud Turks of the past, the invincible Turks, kneeling in front of Wei Xi and kowtowing to him!
Once upon a time, the Turks controlled millions of strings, seriously threatening the Central Plains Dynasty, once the Turkic cavalry went south, causing the emperor to go to the ordinary gatekeeper, tossing and turning, and unable to sleep all night.
Today, no matter how coaxing the Turkic nobles were, they also put down their weapons in front of Wei Xi and bowed their heads to their ears.
Of course, the people who could see Wei Xi were all the upper echelons of the tribe, and they responded to Wei Xi's call and led their clansmen and livestock to join Wei Xi.
Wei Xi actually only wanted to put on a show, he asked the names of the people who came, the strength of the tribe (population and livestock), and the situation of the tribe's warriors.
It was a good opportunity to get a good idea of the strength of the Turks by having the tribal warriors put on a show of their martial arts and cavalry in real time, while the Wei Xi watched while the staff officers desperately recorded and archived in the future.
Wei Xi disposed of them, and the larger the clan, the more benefits he would receive.
The leader was awarded an official position, and the price was clearly marked, and the tribes of 50,000 people who came to vote were rewarded with the status of assassins, generals, and earls, and the tribes of 10,000 people who came to vote had the status of Changshi, Sima and other civil servants, Zhonglang generals/captains, and viscounts; And more than 3,000 people have county orders, and military positions can be school captains.
There are three classes of rewards, including tens of thousands of first class, five thousand of second class, and two thousand of third class.
They got a letter of appointment signed by Wei Xi,
It should be noted that the "people" here refer to men who can fight, women do not count, and in the cold weapon period, men belonged to strategic materials.
Rewarding them will be sent to the designated bathing areas by the Great Lake, where they will jump in and take a bath and change their minds!
Hu people don't pay attention to hygiene, this is not good, General Wei Xi said that hygiene is good for health, as a Tang people, you must take a bath often.
After taking a bath, they will change into Han clothes, have a physical examination, and treat those who are sick, free of charge.
Next, under the leadership of the government, they will go to the designated areas to settle, they will graze or plough the fields, they will get a batch of living materials, such as tea is not a problem, there are grain seeds, farm tools, iron tools, all kinds of clothes (cloth, silk), etc.
In North China now, there are large tracts of vacant land, and it is not a problem to arrange for them to live.
Different from the previous attachments, Wei Xi had two major measures, one is that the resettlement site is not left to fend for the Turks, but the local deputy must be Tang; The second is to open up "study classes", which are specifically divided into three types of classes.
The first is the advanced study class, that is, the tribal leaders and their children are convened to study and brainwash.
The second is the intermediate warrior class, that is, the warriors of the tribe are summoned to study.
The third is tribal literacy classes, which are conducted by the government in resettlement centers, where classes are held at night and boys, women, and children sit in classrooms to study.
The first two classes are intensive, while the latter is dispersed.
The content of learning includes literacy, learning simplified characters; The second is to study history.
"Hu Han's family"!
Where are the Xiongnu now?
Where can I see the Hu people who are chaotic?
Where did the majesty of the Turks who once dominated northern China go?
Goguryeo was defeated, Tubo was destroyed, and the Khitan was exterminated!
Hu Han fused with each other, and finally became a family!
Now there is the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, she treats foreigners generously and benevolently, cares about the suffering of the Hu people, does not want to raise a sword soldier, does not want to kill, so sent the heavenly army to appease the tribes to submit.
Become a family, no more strife!
In addition to history, let the Hu people learn law, and also teach life experience, so that they can follow the rules and live happily in the new environment.
……
Wei Xi's action to appease the Turks was strongly supported by Wu Zetian.
Without it, the face project, Wu Zetian wants to do big things this year, and wants everyone to see the gratifying scene of "Hu people return to their hearts, and all directions come to vote", she wants face, she wants political achievements, and puts gold on her face.
Again, the court has money!
Money is not omnipotent, no money is absolutely impossible, it is difficult for a good woman to have no rice to drink, just say a few words of encouragement, but the heavy real money, silver and copper money in your hand can buy the Turks.
There are two kinds of staff responsible for receiving the Turks, one is the officials transferred from the state and county officials, and the other is the students of the Taiping Princess's Mansion!
There are too many staff needed, and there are not enough officials in the formal establishment, so Wei Xi put the students of Princess Taiping's Mansion on top, they are white (no official position), but they are more enthusiastic about their work, and they have more professional knowledge.
When the work begins, they will be given a half-official position!
Dealing with Hu people is not something that ordinary people can do and can do if they want to.
Princess Taiping's house school, pay attention to practical results, and the students have strong work ability.
Although Wu Zetian was wary of Wei Xi in terms of personnel, she was constantly seeping sand in the army, and she did not let Wei Xi interfere in terms of civilian officials, but she couldn't prevent it, and Wei Xi's big seat was inevitable.
