Chapter 367: You Think You Think You Think

When the Inner Dynasty walked directly here, Li Shimin directly took out this plan that was almost considered again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info said those relevant things at that time, especially once the whole country is dependent on these Hu people, then I am afraid that the consequence will inevitably let the Hu army take the opportunity to steal military power, and then threaten the Tang Dynasty in turn.

And at this point, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Shi Bufan is right, right!" ”

Fang Xuanling was really afraid, their Shandong Shi clan was most advertised as having pure Chinese blood, and they even thought that the Li Tang royal family had Hu blood. However, it was only of Hu blood. The Shandong Shi clan doesn't want to have another Yongjia Rebellion. Compared with the chaos again, they would rather accept Li Shimin's rule.

So in this matter, Fang Xuanling and Shi Bufan temporarily stood together and opposed this Hu man joining the army together. However, the Guanlong Group was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad word, let the Hu people join my Tang army, that is to encourage the Hu people to integrate into my Tang Dynasty. Even I think that in order to integrate into my Datang, the Hu people will inevitably make them work harder to kill the enemy for my Datang and get my Datang's recognition. For example, isn't that the case for our eldest grandson's family? The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Shi Bufan couldn't be trusted, so the eldest grandson Wuji jumped up directly like a cat with a tail. Although their eldest grandson's family has long been completely sinicized, the surname "eldest grandson" is based on the ancestors of the Hu people, and Shi Bufan said this to make him very uncomfortable.

Even Dugu Daxue, who was on duty next to her, looked at her husband and looked a little dissatisfied, because her ancestor Dugu Xin was also a Hu person, and the surname Dugu came from the Hu people.

And Chen Kang, the imperial historian who "must be opposed at every time", hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Bufan's words are very wrong!" How can Hu people not be trusted? The Hu people are willing to fight for my Datang, which is actually the prosperity of my Datang civilization, which makes the Hu people admire, so they take the initiative to be willing to integrate in, so they are willing to fight for my Datang. ”

"Countless Hu people back then, aren't they still integrated into our Huaxia now? For example, the eldest grandson's family, this is our descendant of the Tang Dynasty! Even including your extraordinary wife Dugu Shanggong, isn't the ancestor also Dugu Xin? So, how do you explain that? Chen Kang asked.

Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the Hu people have integrated into my Huaxia?" ”

"I thought it was because of the prosperity of my Chinese civilization and the prosperity of culture, and this is the case!" Chen Kang replied.

"What do you think? Haha, if those Hu people don't put down the barbecue, come and eat rice. If those Hu people did not let go of the water and grass to live, but changed the name to fixed settlement. If it weren't for the Hu people who changed from looting to receiving a steady harvest, do you think they would have blended in? Lifestyle is the foundation, if you don't even change your lifestyle, you can only end up in a mess and won't fit in. Even if you barely learn our Chinese language, barely learn our Chinese language, even if you memorize the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, so what? If you don't change your lifestyle, it's useless. Do you think that if we Han people go to nomadism, then there will be no more border troubles? Shi Bufan asked.

Of course, Chen Kang nodded and said: "I thought it was like this, anyone who learns my Chinese civilization will inevitably ......."

"Do you think Qin Shi Huang is stupider than you? Do you think Emperor Wu of Han is stupider than you? Or do you think you're far smarter than those two emperors? Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

"The two emperors are both emperors of great talent, I dare not compare!" Chen Kang hurriedly said, these two are emperors, does he dare to compare?

"Could it be that neither Qin Shi Huang nor Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could think of letting the Han people go to nomadism?" Shi Bufan asked.

Chen Kang shirked and said: "I don't know, there is no record in the history books. ”

"That's right, because this act is so stupid, it doesn't even need to be mentioned, so there is no record." Shi Bufan said.

This kind of practice of letting the Han people go to nomadism is simply stupid. To determine whether a group is the same nation, first of all, it is not based on its culture, but on its way of life. The Han people's way of life is completely dependent on farming, and if they leave the most basic thing of farming, then even if the culture is the same, they are not the same people.

Don't think that the same language and writing must be a nation, and the saying that the economic base determines the superstructure will not be wrong anywhere. If even the most basic economic foundations are different, or even polar, it is impossible to come together. The American Civil War is a lesson from the past, and the economic basis between the two has become irreconcilable, even in the opposite direction, so it is inevitable that a civil war will be violently adjusted.

So even if you let the Han people go to nomadism, you will end up causing a battle between two Chinese-speaking peoples, and you will not solve the conflict because of this. The grasslands live on water and grass, and grain is not enough, and it must be obtained from the farming peoples in the south. Don't think that the grassland horses and sheep herding in the TV series are very romantic, but romance can't be eaten. If he really wanted to let any Han Chinese go to nomadism, would he go back? Will he choose to give up the steady harvest every year and live the kind of life that will be wiped out if he is not careful?

The invasion of the northern nomads was not because they were born with a penchant for raiding, but because they were envious of the stable harvest in the Central Plains. Although the people of the Central Plains are in danger of natural disasters, their income is far more stable and peaceful than that of nomadism. Every nation yearns for comfort, yearns for a stable life, and there will be no nation that naturally likes to plunder.

Even if the Han people are "exiled" to the grassland, they will also repeat the old path of those nomads, and wage war against the farming Han people in order to "return home" and live a comfortable and stable life.

The way of life in different places is the foundation, and culture is not the most basic.

"If we let those Hu people join our Tang Army in formation, then they will still follow their way of life. They continue to hunt for a living, and continue to have common living habits, will they be sinicized? ”

"The assimilation of a people is, first of all, assimilation in terms of way of life, not just learning a language. If you let these Hu people join the Tang army in large numbers, then in the end they still retain their own living habits, and they can never be called Han people, even if they can write Chinese characters more smoothly than we do. ”

If the way of life is different, even if it is the same language and writing, it will also knock people's brains out of dogs' brains.

"So, Chen Kang, your practice of letting the Han people go to nomadism is really stupid and naΓ―ve! Do you really think that Emperor Qin and Han Wu can't think of it? No, they understand how stupid the idea is, and they don't even think about it this way. If the 'Han people' who have given up even farming, are they still Han people? Shi Bufan snorted coldly.

But Chen Kang still reluctantly continued: "Your Majesty, I thought that the Hu people were willing to join my Tang army, that is a good thing!" As long as I, Datang, can let all the Hu people in the world join our army, then this is to show my Datang's attitude of embracing all rivers, so that I can integrate into the Hu people's joining, so that the Hu people can admire my Datang, this is the glory of my Datang! I think that since they are all willing to join our Datang army, we can actually rest assured. Since they joined on their own initiative, there could be no betrayal. As long as we take the initiative to join, then what do we have to be afraid of? On the contrary, we trust them, and I think it will inevitably impress them and make them more sincere to work for my Datang. ”

"Oh, what do you think? Chen Kang, if a rich man recruits a group of nurses, and it turns out that most of them are foreigners who don't know where they come from, and they all speak languages mixed with accents from various countries, and even look at your mansion with great envy, do you say that this rich man sleeps very well every night? Or do you have to sleep with one eye open? Shi Bufan asked.

"This is different...... Chen Kang hurriedly quibbled.

"It's the same, you just have to think about how that rich man feels, and you will know how the people of my Datang feel like." Shi Bufan said.

Those who are glorious to Datang for recruiting a large number of Hu people Ahri to help them fight wars, and even touting Datang in this regard, are simply a powder in the eyes of experts. As long as in the future generations, ask the leaders of any country at will, and ask them whether they are willing to open all their armies to foreigners, or even willing to exchange their country's armies for foreigners, who would dare?

If the vast majority of your country's army is foreigners, what do you make the people of that country think? Let those who rule what they think in their hearts, I'm afraid they will sleep with one eye open. The army is the most important weapon of the country, if it is all in the hands of foreigners, do you let the people of this country sleep soundly at night?

Those who say that it is glorious for the Hu people to join the army is completely brainless.

In fact, the real situation is that after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the standing army of the Tang Dynasty has long been useless, the government soldiers have long been decayed, and the interests of the government soldiers have been seriously violated. When the war appeared, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi realized that the government soldiers had long been decayed. Later, he gradually began to transition to the conscription system, and then found that the cost of recruiting Hu people was lower, and at the beginning the Hu people did admire the civilization of the Tang Dynasty, and they worked harder to get the recognition of inquiry, which is also a fact. On the contrary, the natives are already looked down upon for serving in the army, and the collapse of the government military system has hit the status of the military in the eyes of ordinary people, so in this case, it is more dependent on recruiting Hu people.

In the end, the proportion of Hu people in the army is getting higher and higher, and even the Hu people are self-contained troops, and even more excessively, the Hu people are still generals. In the late Tang Dynasty, more and more Hu people began to serve as high-ranking officers, which led to the later Anshi Rebellion.

Therefore, China's martial spirit began to be seriously lost as early as the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Although it looks good to expand the territory, as long as you look at the Hu generals who have begun to walk on the stage of history, and the generals are sent to the soldiers, you can imagine how high the proportion of Hu people in the Tang Army is.

In this case, can the people of Datang rest assured? Do the rulers of the Tang Dynasty really feel proud? Just think about it, when your country's army is mainly made up of foreigners, will you really feel at ease?

Some people who have not really understood common sense have touted that the Tang Dynasty is inclusive, and even the Hu army accounts for a large proportion. This not only did not really tout the Tang Dynasty, but to a large extent exposed the fact that the Han people in the middle and late Tang Dynasty had long been unbearable and began to lose their martial spirit.

As long as there is the slightest possibility, as long as the people of their own nation can still fight, then they will never use foreigners to fight for themselves. The sentence that the heart of the non-my race must be different has lingered in the head of China for countless years, as long as there is a little way, as long as the Han people have enough people to use it, will they use the Hu people? The leader of any country will know that once the rejection of his country occupies the vast majority of the non-subject nation, it is a sharp sword hanging over his head, which is very dangerous.

touting the high proportion of Hu people in the Tang Dynasty army largely exposed the results of the Han people in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you must not let the Hu people join the army, once you join the army, it is easy to become dependent. At that time, the proportion of Hu people is getting higher and higher, and even the generals of the Hu people have mastered the military power of my Tang Dynasty, and the consequences are also huge. The army is the most important weapon of the country, and it must not be controlled by foreigners! ”

"No matter how expensive it is, no matter how expensive it is for us to train ourselves, we can't just save money on the army. I'm afraid to save, and it's not like that. Saving military spending is not something that can be saved by recruiting Hu people. Even, even if we disarm ourselves, we can't just let the Hu people join because of cost savings. ”

"Even if the Hu people really admire us, we are the same, and we can't let the Hu people join the army directly. This is a principle, not something that can be changed. ”

Chen Kang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I thought it was ......"

"Well, needless to say. According to what Shi Bufan said, recover this order to allow the Khitans to join our Tang army. Moreover, in the future, I will be forbidden to recruit Hu people into the army. Shi Bufan is not bad, although it is economical to recruit Hu people, but the hearts of non-my race will be different. The military is an important weapon of the country, and it is absolutely impossible to save costs casually. Li Shimin said.

"The emperor is wise!" Fang Xuanling said first.

The Shandong Shi clan doesn't want to come to Wuhu again, and the Shandong Shi clan can't afford it. Therefore, this time the Hu people were expelled from the army, which is not only in line with the interests of the Shandong Shi clan, but also very in line with it.

The army is stable only when the Juche nation is formed, otherwise the Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty will be a lesson from the past. The hearts of those who are not of our race will be different, and this is true of all nations. Once a large number of other nationalities are armed, it will be a time bomb!
