Chapter 470: The Great Wall Alliance (Part II)
"Ranch north of Yinshan?" Wei Shuo glanced at the Zhuhu leaders present with some amusement, and everyone who was swept by his gaze couldn't help but shudder, with a sense of nowhere to hide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The grassland north of Yinshan Mountain is naturally owned by the leaders."
Sigh! As soon as Wei Shuo's words fell, all the leaders breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. In this way, even if there is no grassland south of Yinshan, there is still hope for the rise of Mo Nan Zhuhu. However, Wei Shuo's next words completely caused the leader of Zhuhu to fall from the sky to the mortal world at once.
"Although the pasture is owned by the chiefs, it must be grazed according to the designated area of Liaodong, and no tribe may annex the pastures of other tribes without authorization.
"What! This ......"
Wei Shuo ignored the already stupid leader of the Monan Zhuhu and continued: "In addition, in order to strengthen the rule of Monan, Liaodong will implement the alliance flag system in Monan. ”
With the collapse of Xianbei rule on the grasslands, Liaodong was faced with the urgent task of quickly filling this void and replacing it with its own system and order, and reorganizing the forces of the Monan Zhuhu.
Wei Shuo thought about it and found that only the alliance flag system could effectively control the steppe peoples, and the alliance flag system was a successful example of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's control of Mongolia. Through the alliance flag system, Liaodong was able to establish a new order in the southern grasslands north of Yinshan Mountain, and firmly control the development of the Hu people in various tribes, so that it would not produce a new political core to compete with Liaodong.
In addition to the alliance flag system, coupled with policies such as military conquest, political disintegration, economic entrapment and cultural assimilation, perhaps a hundred years later, Monan will be truly incorporated into the rule of Liaodong.
"On the basis of the 1,000-household tribes, all tribes of similar size will be divided into one banner, and tribes with far more than 1,000 households will be divided into several banners. The chief of each flag is the general manager, and the prime minister is in charge of the affairs of one flag. ”
"After the flags are set up, the flags are combined into an alliance. Each league shall have a league leader and a deputy league leader, and the league leader and the deputy league leader shall be selected from the general manager of each banner, and submitted to the Liaodong Pastoral Government for approval, and the letter shall be issued to the seal after the appointment of the league leader, and the term of office shall be lifelong, but shall not be hereditary. ”
"It should be noted that the league is not an administrative body, and the main task of the league commander is to perform the duties of Biding, training troops, checking Qian Valley, and hearing major criminal cases, but he has no right to send troops, cannot directly interfere in the internal affairs of each banner, and has no right to issue orders to each banner, but only supervises the commanders of each banner in the alliance, and has the responsibility to report the illegal or rebellious acts of the commanders at any time."
"In addition, in order to supervise the affairs of the leagues and flags, every once in a while, generally three or five years, Liaodong has the right to convene all leagues to hold alliances at the foot of the Great Wall, mostly in the summer and autumn of that year."
"When the alliance is united, the nobles and warriors of the banner are led by the leaders of each alliance and the flag commander to participate with weapons and horses, and they must not be delayed, otherwise they will be severely punished."
The leaders of the Hu presents completely understood Wei Shuo's true intentions, and Da Sima seemed to be generous in handing over the grassland north of Yinshan to Hu Lu, but he wanted to promote the alliance flag system.
And this flag system obviously protects the interests of small and medium-sized tribes and restricts the development and growth of ambitious tribes. For ambitious leaders, this is simply a shackle on the head, which must be removed no matter what.
"Da Sima, since we have already been attached, why doesn't Liaodong directly hand over the grassland to us to deal with, but instead spend a lot of time to promote the alliance flag system?"
Wei Shuo said with a smile: "Although you have been attached, but most of them were rebels before, and it is already an extrajudicial grace for Liaodong to not kill all of them, how can you give grassland again?" You will either come according to the rules of Liaodong, or choose to continue to be the enemy of Liaodong. ”
Listening to Wei Shuo's words full of murderous intent, even if the few tribal leaders present were dissatisfied, they could only retreat, not to mention that most of the tribal leaders who were not strong raised their hands to welcome this.
"I know that some people are dissatisfied with the implementation of the flag system, and in order to compensate you, I will show you a way to make a fortune. As we all know, there are many textile workshops in Liaodong, which consume a lot of wool every year, and Liaodong alone will never be able to meet the demand. ”
"In the future, when you return to the grassland, you can vigorously develop the breeding industry, and then sell the wool to the merchants of Liaodong, which alone is enough to make you rich."
Everyone couldn't help but move when they heard this, they are no strangers to the textile industry in Liaodong, in the past, there were many Liaodong businessmen who went north to the grassland to buy wool every year, but they didn't expect that today it has become an important means for Liaodong to win over the Hu people from all departments.
"In addition, Liaodong merchants will also build a meat canning workshop at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and the cattle and sheep in your tribe can be rushed to the south of Yinshan to sell."
"It can be said that in the future, there is no need to wait for the south to plunder, just raise more cattle, sheep and livestock, which is enough to ensure that the tribes live a good life."
At this time, all the Hulu leaders thought about it, and now the situation is pressing, Liaodong has learned the lessons of the past, and obviously will no longer hand over the pasture to Hulu at will. Anyone who dares to disobey the rules of Liaodong will definitely not end well. After thinking about it, although all the tribal leaders were unwilling, they finally had to pretend to be grateful and accept it.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of spinning technology, the textile industry in Liaodong has developed rapidly. Maritime trade is a huge vortex, and no matter how much gauze is produced in the workshop, it will be swallowed up. This led to a shortage of wool, and there were originally signs of enclosure sheep breeding in Liaodong, but Wei Shuo was prevented.
However, if the problem of sheep shortage is not solved one day, Liaodong will pay a huge price for it sooner or later in the future. Fortunately, the Monan grassland was recovered today, allowing Wei Shuo to find a new wool supply area. In this way, Liaodong not only solved the problem of sheep shortage, but also fetted the southern Zhuhu with economy, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"There is one last thing I need to ask your leaders, the teachings are very widely spread in Liaodong, and there will be Taoist chiefs to preach in the north in the future, I hope you can help when the time comes."
Hearing this request, many of the leaders present finally breathed a sigh of relief, they had been a little allergic to Wei Shuo before, for fear that he would bring up some difficult news again. Unexpectedly, just to help explain the mission, most of them nodded their heads and said that they would definitely assist the Taoist chief in completing the missionary task.
Wei Shuo looked at the unaware crowd in front of him and sneered secretly, missionary should be the least suspicious of Hu Lu, and the slowest to take effect, but it is an essential policy.
To sum up, Wei Shuo implemented a total of four policies in the Monan grassland, one of which was to implement military deterrence through city building; second, to implement economic co-optation through trade; Third, political fetters are implemented through the flag system; Fourth, ideological assimilation is carried out through the promotion and exposition of teaching.
As long as the four policies are persistently implemented, Wei Shuo believes that in 100 years, there will be no more Hulu in the entire grassland.
After discussing the various systems with the leaders of the Monan Zhuhu, it was finally agreed that the first meeting would be held at the foot of the Great Wall in three days, and the treaties reached would be made public. In addition, when the alliance is met, Wei Shuo will also canonize the leaders.
Three days later, in the morning, colorful flags were displayed around Huimengtai, and the leaders of Zhuhu who were waiting for Wei Shuo to appear, all of them looked forward to the direction of the Chinese army's big tent.
With the rising sun, Wei Shuo's Chinese army tent finally moved, first with various colored flags, and then a team of armored and majestic cavalry appeared in front of everyone. Seeing that the guards were approaching, the Hu people naturally did not dare to slack off, and knelt on the ground to greet Wei Shuo.
"Ministers greet Da Sima."
With the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, Wei Shuo looked solemn and walked slowly under Chen An's escort. Behind him were two teams of guards, wearing armor and ringed swords, guarding the surroundings tightly.
Coming to the front of the Huimeng platform, Wei Shuo, accompanied by Lu Chang, walked straight to the high platform and put the written canonization document on the table where the incense case had been arranged.
Wei Shuo first took the incense and worshiped the Great Heavenly Venerable before opening the document and reading it aloud. According to the on-site tribal statistics, Wei Shuo divided the Zhuhu tribes north of Yinshan into eighteen leagues and eighty-six banners. Originally, every leader who read his name had to come to the stage to receive the seal letter issued by Liaodong, but because the relevant seal letter was still in production, it could only be reissued in the future.
After the alliance, Wei Shuo held a grand military parade with thousands of cavalry and some infantry participants, mainly to declare military power to Zhuhu. (To be continued.) )
