Chapter 43 It is also a sin not to report what you know
The sinicization of barbarians, this is not a simple matter. Although many barbarians admire the Han people and the culture of the Han people, there are also many barbarians who look down on the Han people, just like seeing others stronger and better than themselves, so they have a psychology in their hearts that they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
Of course, although the proportion of such people is quite large, they are not as many as the other kind of people who feel that they should maintain the inheritance of their ancestors. At this time, there were no measures to protect the national culture of later generations, and not many people were able to understand or adhere to their own national spirit.
But I have to say that it is unimaginable difficulty to make these people abandon their ancient inheritance and all sinicization.
Liu Xie's attitude is also relatively tough, who called the barbarians too much trouble this time! Yes, when discussing with those leaders, Liu Xie directly ordered them to be sinicized, and if they are not sinicized, then they are not Han people, that is, they want to play China! Then I'm sorry, let's fight!
Seeing Liu Xie's strong attitude, some of those barbarians wilted directly, while some wanted to resist Liu Xie angrily. Although they did not say it directly, it can be seen from their silence that they do not accept Liu Xie's tough attitude towards them.
When Brother Zhu saw this situation, he couldn't help but negotiate with Liu in private.
Brother Zhu didn't go to Yongchang Buwei, he just told Lu Kai and Wei Yan about the plan and let them implement it themselves.
Lu Kai and Wei Yan are not ordinary people, a city government is extremely deep, bold and careful, and able to forbear; The other is equally bold and careful, and has a very strong execution ability. Although the cooperation between these two is not a match made in heaven, it definitely reassures Liu Xie.
Lu Kai's ability is not mentioned for the time being, in this regard, Wei Yan has enough ability. In addition, he sent Liu Bi with 3,000 county soldiers, and Lu Meng and Guan Ping with 500 divine guards to help. In this way, if they can't handle the bad things, then they are really incompetent.
As for Liu Xie's side, no one would dare to jump out and brush his tiger whiskers at this time, and there were a lot of defenders in Dianchi before, and it was nothing to lose three or four thousand soldiers and horses. No one would think that the Liu Association would no longer be terrible because of the lack of some soldiers and horses.
And Lu Kai and Wei Yan launched an operation because they had these soldiers and horses as their backing. First, Lu Kai asked the patriarchs of those clans to come out of ...... In fact, even if Lu Kai didn't ask them, they couldn't wait to get Liu Xie's conditions from Lu Kai.
Lu Kai told them with a happy face that although His Majesty was unwilling to forgive them, as long as they handed over the eighty fields in their hands, this incident would be regarded as if it had never happened. This condition made them very painful, so painful that they wanted to bite Liu Xie to death.
However, it was precisely because of this condition that made them feel that Liu Xie was really willing to negotiate with them. But this is a far cry from what they wanted before. Originally, they wanted to get benefits from Liu Xie, but now that the situation has turned around, how can they be happy?
As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Lao's body again, which made Yan Lao feel quite stressed. In the end, the only way to prevaricate is that you need to think about it, after all, the Jingzhou envoy still needs to look at the situation. Of course, he will urge those people to be sure to give everyone a satisfactory answer tomorrow.
When Elder Yan said this, everyone could only believe him. But no one knows that Yan Lao himself is thinking about Liu Xie's condition and whether he will agree.
In fact, Elder Yan also knew that he didn't need to think about it, because he didn't want to die, so he had to agree to this condition.
But as it turned out, they were all late. That same night, a group of men in black infiltrated their house and implemented a 'kill-all' policy. So in just one short night, those families disappeared into the long river of history and disappeared.
And Lü Kai united two of them, cooperated with Liu Bi, Lü Meng and Guan Ping, controlled the barbarian soldiers and county soldiers, and then released Fei Shi and Wu Yi.
Everything is being performed according to the script they arranged in advance, and the key to it is Wei Yan's level. But Wei Yan did not disappoint them, and led his Red Dragon Guard, which was less than three hundred, to stage a bloody slaughter, which made the blood of several major families in Buwei City flow into a river overnight.
These Red Dragon Guards, who were hidden in the darkness, disappeared in front of everyone as if they had evaporated in front of people after the mission was over.
……
Let's not mention it here for the time being, but in other words, Brother Zhu privately suggested to Liu Xie that the barbarians should be sinicized, but in fact, they don't need to be so fast, they can take their time. If you blindly take a tough attitude, those barbarians will not accept it even if they take it orally. Moreover, this is not conducive to future management.
People have a strange mentality, as long as there is oppression, there will be a backlash, although this oppression is actually good, and the backlash is unreasonable, but sometimes it always rebounds for the sake of rebound. If you want to change this situation, you can only go with the flow, anyway, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, is it?
Seeing that Brother Zhu persuaded himself like this, Liu Xie smiled, "If you don't have a tough attitude at this time, how can you ask for benefits when you turn around?" Although the barbarians are hard, they also have a lot of coolies! Herbs, animal skins and bones can all be exchanged for money! Don't really think that these leaders are really all bitter haha. Look at the jewelry on them! One by one, they are either wearing gold or silver, which is more dazzling than my imperial robe! ”
Hearing Liu Xie's words, Brother Zhu was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Only then did he realize that he had set his sights on the sinicization of the barbarians.
After a pause, Liu Xie looked at Brother Zhu and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, do you dare to negotiate with them on behalf of me?" I, the lord of this country, talking to these barbarian leaders about this matter is really self-surrendering! They are my courtiers, so what right do they have to bargain with me? ”
Brother Zhu nodded, feeling that what Liu Xie said was right. Since those people have surrendered, they are Liu Xie's courtiers, and as a courtier, it is indeed a bit rude to bargain with the master like this. But at this time, Liu Xie couldn't really start a full-scale war with the barbarians, and there were still 10,000 or 20,000 barbarians on the Xiliang battlefield!
"Wechen will do his best and go all out!"
Liu Xie looked at Brother Zhu and said with a smile: "I believe in your three-inch incorruptible tongue!" Those Confucian students in Taixue can't tell you, let alone these barbarians! ”
Hearing Liu Xie's praise, Brother Zhu grinned a little shyly, and Liu Xie couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it, he was really still a child!
Smiled and patted him on the shoulder, Liu Xie walked to the window and said, "The sinicization of the barbarians is a matter of time, but as you said, there is no need to be in a hurry about this matter, just talk about it as you think in your heart!" First of all, the sinicization of those who are willing to sinicize.,If you don't want to.,You can also use various policies to slowly corrode them.。 The culture of our Han nationality is inclusive of all things, and sinicization does not mean the extinction of their own heritage...... This is 'tolerance is greatness'. ”
Hearing Liu Xie's words, Brother Zhu couldn't help but be in awe of Liu Xie, and now he finally understands why Liu Xie wants to 'take Confucianism as the leader, a hundred schools of thought as a supplement, and regain the glory of a hundred schools'. This is the way of governing the world that many great Confucians in Taixue are studying today, and it is the view put forward by Liu Xie.
In the beginning, there were many people with strong Confucian ideology who were strongly resistant to this view. Because for more than 400 years, the Han Dynasty has always respected Confucianism and ruled the world with filial piety. But now Liu Xie is faintly moving closer to the signs of 'ruling the world by law', which makes many people feel a little uneasy.
However, although many people felt uneasy, they also had to be dismantled by Liu Xie's boldness. In particular, Liu Xie did not reject Confucianism, but took Confucianism as the leader, and slowly attracted the directors of other schools, Legalists, and Mohists...... Wait a minute.
In fact, as long as anyone with a little vision knows, the other families are not without their strengths. It's just that the issues considered are different depending on where they are located. Now influenced by Liu Xie's big mind and boldness, many people are willing to try.
And today's Confucianism, and the Confucianism that follows, is still very different. Today's Confucianism still retains a very strong blood surname, which is very different from the Confucian culture that seems to have been emasculated in later generations. Especially Confucianism after the Ming and Qing dynasties.
And the sinicization of barbarians is just the first step taken by Liu Xie on this road. Although he did not have the huge ambition to spread Han culture to the world, at least in the place where the red dragon banner of his Han Dynasty was planted, the glory of Han culture must be sown.
As for whether the kind of fractured situation in the future will continue after doing so, it is not something he needs to worry about. His hands are not that long, and his life is not so long, how can he get so far! As the saying goes—when I die, it doesn't matter how much it floods!
……
"Your Majesty, the patriarchs of the Haoqiang Wang clan in all counties of Yizhou County are here!"
Not long after Brother Zhu retreated with a wave of excitement, Dong He came in person. Although he is still busy now, he still has many things to do, such as the land and wealth left by those families in Dianchi City; For example, those tenant farmers enter the household, and those who are willing to sinicize the barbarians also need to be naturalized...... Wait a minute.
However, no matter how urgent these things are, they can't be anxious about the strong affairs of the rest of the counties in Yizhou County.
When he sent Shenwu Wei to arrest people before, because those heroes were not in Dianchi City Immortals, by the time they went, most of them had already fled. Only catch some people who are not very eye-opening. Although these people are not very eye-opening, they were frightened by the bloody scene on the shore of Dianchi Lake, and directly agreed to donate the land they have always regarded as the root of their life, and they gave it all except for the ancestral house.
Since these families are so 'sincere', Liu Xie is unwilling to create any more murders. But the other Haoqiang who did not participate, but acted as a bystander, Liu Xie still did not intend to let go - if you don't look at it, there is also the crime of 'knowing and not reporting'!
So, those Haoqiang families were called by him. (To be continued.) )
