(Thank you Kunlun for your big reward!) ）

"Your Highness, the recruitment of recruits has been carried out almost now, but there is one thing that Your Highness needs to decide." Sima Ya said to Sima Shu with some seriousness.

"Oh? What's the matter? It's so serious. Sima Shu looked at his subordinates who wanted to stop talking, could it be that something big had happened?

"Your Highness is like this, among the recruits recruited in the past few days, there are not only us Huaxia, but also many broken Hu people who have come to apply, did Your Highness say that we want to recruit them?"

"Hu Ren!?"

It was only at this time that Sima Shu realized a very serious problem, that is, the problem of population. In China's feudal society, all the periods marked as "end" were the years of disaster when the common people suffered a lot. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, this was the case at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the end of the Song Dynasty, the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The sudden fall of a big tree is nothing more than the sudden destruction of an external force, or the gradual decay of the inside. And the fall of a great dynasty is usually caused by internal factors that play a role in urging death, and this is how it came to an end in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

First, natural disasters are frequent, and the people are struggling to make a living; second, officials are corrupt and corrupt in government and government; third, traitors hold power, tigers and wolves are in charge; Fourth, evil deeds are rampant and dark. Then, the yellow scarves were all over the field, the red land was thousands of miles, the princes swarmed, and the troubled times were fighting; Then, the Three Kingdoms were established, the conquest continued, and the mountains and rivers were divided for nearly a hundred years.

Where there is division, there will be war, and where there is war, there will be death.

According to the "Outline of National History": "At the time of the death of Shu, the household, 280,000, the mouth, 940,000. There were 102,000 soldiers with armor inside, accounting for one of the nine in total. At the time of Wu's death, households, 530,000, mouth, 2,300,000. There were 230,000 internal soldiers, accounting for one of the whole tens, and 32,000 officials, **5,000. Wei, Pingshu Shi, Hu, 663,423, Kou, 4,432,881. The total of the three kingdoms is about 1,473,423 households, 7,672,881 mouths. ”

"As far as the whole history (referring to the whole history of China) is concerned, the hukou is no less than the time. Roughly the number of the two counties of Nanyang and Runan in the Han Dynasty. The late season of the Three Kingdoms is like this, and its chaos can be imagined. ”

This is the demographic profile of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In a poem entitled "Walking in Artemisia", Cao Cao described the tragic scene in the Central Plains at that time: "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. ”

In 263 AD, Shu died, in 264 AD, Wei died, and in 265 AD, Sima Yan called the emperor Jin, the Central Plains was unified, and the common people finally got rid of the shadow of war. In 280 AD, that is, the first year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty, Wu died, and the whole country was unified. At this time, the total population of the country was 16,000,000, which was almost the same as the current population of Shanghai and Beijing.

In 156 AD, in the second year of Emperor Huan's eternal life of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the total population of the country had reached 50,000,000.

After fighting this century-long war, only one-third of the population remains, and the price paid by the Chinese people for division is too heavy. What is even more serious is that the population ratio between the Hu and Han sides has risen to 1:2, and there are at least 5 million Hu people in the north who are eyeing the Central Plains Huahua world.

In this case, if the Han people want to recover quickly, they must adopt some special measures, anyway, China has experienced many ethnic integrations in history, but each time it started with the passive situation of the Han people, and this time Sima Shu intends to take the initiative.

"Recruit, why don't you recruit, those Hu people are born cavalry, anyway, we captured so many horses last time, it is precisely to establish a cavalry unit."

"Yes...... But what should be done? "Sima Ya was a little worried, in the past, the Jin Dynasty used to let the Hu people lead an army alone, but in this way, it is easy for the Hu people to become bigger, didn't Liu Bao and Liu Yuan's father and son rise like this?

"It's very simple, let those who are willing to be soldiers wear Han clothes, speak Chinese, learn Chinese language, and give Han names, and become Han people from now on! I want to make it so that after the Jin Dynasty, there is no difference between Hu and Han, and the whole world is full of my Chinese people! Sima Shu knew that if he wanted to assimilate a nation, he had to start in all directions.

"For those Hu people who are willing to be soldiers, you don't need any psychological burden, just treat them according to the requirements just now. Hu people are also human beings, and there are also poor and rich among them, so if you are willing to accept the transformation, you can just do things according to the rules and accept each other, and those who are not willing to accept the transformation of the Hu people will directly drive away the matter! In addition, the Lone Association asked Master Jiang Tong to formulate some rules, and if you encounter any problems with the Hu people in the future, you will do so. ”

Solving the problem of Hu people in recruitment, Sima Shu did not feel any relief, but immediately asked Zu Ti, Jiang Tong and others to gather together to discuss how to solve the problem of ethnic integration.

"First of all, let's talk about what is ethnic integration, which refers to the phenomenon that two or more ethnic groups in history eventually become a nation due to their proximity and mutual influence. Why are we going for national integration? Master Jiang Tong, you have investigated the population of the Hu and Han dynasties in our dynasty, and you should know that the total population of our dynasty will not exceed 20 million at present, while the population of the Hu people has risen to more than 8 million. ”

"With so many Hu people, it is impossible for us to let the other party develop freely, otherwise it will eventually bring great disasters to us Han people in the future. But for so many Hu people, we can't blindly shout and kill, for those Hu people who are willing to accept transformation and become a Han Chinese, we must accept each other with an open mind. ”

"And those who die unrepentantly and would rather be Hu ghosts than accept the Sinicization of the Hu people, hum! If you don't say anything, you can only accept our merciless blows, let them fall into the abyss and never turn over. ”

"The small population of the Han nationality is the objective reason why we need to carry out ethnic integration, if we can completely convert millions of Hu people into Han people, then the population lost since the end of the Han Dynasty can be quickly replenished. Only when the population is larger, can the country's tax revenue increase, will more people join the army, can we launch a larger-scale war of conquest, and in the future we will not only conquer the desert, but also conquer the West and conquer the whole world. ”

In addition, everyone said that the Sima family's country was the family's country, but Lone didn't believe that as long as Lone could master the population and strength beyond the family, those so-called families didn't have to worry about it at all. Before I came, Lone told you that the biggest goal of this military dispatch is to master Guanzhong as the foundation. ”

"But do you know how many Hu people there are in Guanzhong? Accounting for half of the total population of the entire Guanzhong, we can't kill them all, we must use the means of ethnic integration to turn them all into Han Chinese, since the family is unwilling to provide population for Lone, then Lone will find a way to get some of the population himself. Although Lone knows that the process is long and requires a long period of unremitting effort. But we must do it steadfastly, and from now on. ”

"Your Highness, I ...... Wouldn't we be even more likely to incur the opposition of the world's families? Zu Ti asked a little uneasily.

Sima Shu also knew that it was not easy for the Han people to take the initiative to integrate with other ethnic groups, especially when the Han dynasty had the upper hand, and those scholars often held high the distinction of Huayi and prevented any ethnic integration from happening.

This is also why the integration of the Han people in history was completed during the low tide of the Central Plains Dynasty, because it was completed under the butcher's knife of the Hu people. But now Sima Shu intends to change this situation, and he wants to make ethnic integration complete under the leadership of the Han people, so the main resistance he faces may be those scholars and families who cling to the distinction of Huayi.

"Even if they oppose us, we have to do it, of course, we don't have to fuse any kind of Hu people, and those who can be fused by us have the same physical characteristics as us."

"What are the physiological characteristics of Your Highness?" Some of the people didn't understand the new terms in Sima Shu's mouth.

"Huh!? This, this physiological characteristic refers to the Hu people who look the same as our Han people, and these Hu people have the same yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair as us, and they are the main objects of our ethnic integration in the future. And for those who have white skin and blue eyes, they will be completely excluded by us. ”

"We only have butcher's knives for them, and we must use butcher's knives to kill and subdue them, and submit them to the feet of our Han people for generations, and they will be the inferior people in our empire in the future, and the objects of our dictatorship and rule."

After listening to Sima Shu's words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and almost at the same time stood up and hugged their fists and said calmly: "The prince's words are like Hong Zhong Da Lu, and the ministers must be engraved in their hearts!" ”

Seeing the expressions of the generals, Sima Shu knew that his "political and ideological work" today was quite effective. Unite all the forces that can be united, and this is what Mao Taizu taught us. Moreover, the Qiang people and the Di people are all part of the Chinese nation, which is similar to the Han people: yellow-skinned and black-headed people are not the same kind of people as those dark-eyed, brown or white-skinned and blue-eyed "Hu people". Those who should be united must be united, and those who should be killed must be killed.

The Chinese nation is about to enter the darkest and most tragic troubled times, which are completely different from the "so-called prosperous era and harmonious society". Not to mention individuals and families, but the entire Chinese nation is struggling on the verge of extinction. Therefore, the means that should be used must be used, and those who can be won over must be co-opted.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"From the perspective of ethnic relations in China and in the world, there are two situations or ways in which one nation merges with another. One is the use of political coercion to merge one nation into another; One is to integrate one nation with another through natural processes through economic and cultural effects. ”

"In order to solve the problem of ethnic integration more appropriately, Gu intends to start from two aspects, on the one hand, through political means to force the Guanzhong Qiang and Di people to speed up the integration of the Han people, on the other hand, we must also eliminate the negative impact of political means through the role of economy and culture, so that those Hu people can be willingly integrated into the Han nation."

"Today, we will talk about this, and then Mr. Jiang is responsible for sorting out what we just said, and then you can just follow it. The most important of these is the training of new soldiers, and the sergeants should worry more about this, and perhaps in a few days the king of Liang will command a large army to suppress the rebels, although it is unlikely that we will send troops, but we should not take it lightly. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers will do their best!"
