Chapter 379: The Land of Bitter Cold, the Man of Bitter Cold

Liu Zhang nodded, this is like rattling a bell to give meat to a dog at the same time, when the bell and meat always appear at the same time, as soon as the dog hears the sound of the bell, it will feel that there is meat to eat, if you don't ring the bell one day to give meat, maybe the dog is still suspicious.

Wang Xu said: "This is the first step in the soft attack on the Western Qiang, so that the Qiang people form a noble group like the Shi clan, in fact, this has been realized in the Xiongnu, and now the Xiongnu leaders who have moved inward, the Xiongnu leaders who have not been authorized by the Han court, will inevitably incur the dissatisfaction of the clansmen."

The second step of the soft attack is to corrupt the aristocratic group formed by Xiqiang, causing the opposition between their upper and lower classes, and achieving two goals, first, the lower class is dissatisfied with the upper class, and second, the upper class is afraid of the lower class to overthrow them day and night, regardless of all morals and unscrupulous means, to protect their vested interests.

We have sent someone to inform Mr. Fa Zheng that the other Qiang leaders will be given titles, and the lord will be asked to implement the three graces of Xiqiang.

First, reward those who divide the beauties with money, and the beauties can directly choose the beautiful ones from the women left by the first Lingqiang, and the money should not be spared when possible.

It can be seen from the Lord's reward to Wuxi that the Lordship also knew the benefits of rewarding them with money, including the ornate costumes that matched the title. And it has formed a convention to reward each seal. ”

Xiao Furong pouted dissatisfiedly when she heard Wang Xu mention Wuxi, or Liu Zhang's calculation of Wuxi.

"Second." Wang Xu continued: "We must pay attention to the import of luxury things, such as some good-looking house decorations, clothing decorations, exquisite white porcelain from the middle of Shu, gorgeous Shu brocade, in short, what can be used to show off, to distinguish it from the lower class, try to import it to the Qiang people." When necessary, we can also give it directly, and I don't believe that these Qiang people can throw it away. ”

"Third, please ask the lord to give the Qiang people the privilege of dividing the title, the privilege is the drug of the powerful, once you fall into it, you can't extricate yourself. The lord can issue a decree allowing their children to directly enter the Han land to test the officials, and they can give priority to them, and they can recommend talents to the Han land.

There is also salt and iron, these are all things that the Qiang people must not have, not only can we limit the output, only the Qiang people can buy it, and the ordinary people of the Qiang people cannot obtain it. And give them the right to distribute these necessary goods.

The Qiang people like to sell wild meat, animal skins, and herbs, and the Qiang people sell them in bulk, so we can all use low prices. Only those Qiang people who are divided, that is, our friends, who have sold them, we will buy them at a fair price.

So. Even if the Qiang people want to save travel expenses, they must first sell the wild meat and animal skins and herbs in their hands to the Qiang people who have been given titles, and then bring them to us.

So. Don't these Qiang people with titles have the privilege of getting ahead, distributing wealth, and holding wealth? As long as they are human, they can't resist this temptation. ”

Liu Zhang looked at Wang Xu in surprise, this Wang Xu was really poisonous, killing four birds with one stone, making the Sichuan army sit in the position of a friendly person who gave favors, co-opted the people in power among the Qiang people, and used privilege to bring these people into control, corrupting the upper echelons of the Qiang people.

It is conceivable that if this continues, those upper-class Qiang people will be intoxicated with their status, and the lower-class Qiang people will be exploited so badly that they will simply kill people without blood.

This Wang Xu is simply a virtue with his classmate Jia Poison, and I really doubt who their master is, who can teach such a group of poisonous people who are more poisonous than a three-inch black tiger.

Wang Xu's face did not change, and continued: "The most important thing is that these Qiang children who have been given titles must have the right to inherit the title, as long as the title has been matched with the power, their children inherit the title, which is the inheritance of power.

Let this group of people with titles form a hereditary interest group, solidify the power structure of the Qiang people, make it more difficult for the status of the lower-class Qiang people to rise, fundamentally destroy the current Qiang people's system of selecting people by force, and take this solidified aristocracy for their own use.

It is conceivable that when we divide these people and are given various privileges and materials by us, unless there are a few people with strong blood, most of them will be corrupted, and there will be fewer and fewer people with strong blood until all the nobles have fallen.

They will cherish and take advantage of their privileges, and the use of privileges will cause jealousy and resentment among the lower strata, and the lower strata will covet their interests and rebel.

They cherish their privileges, so they want to suppress the rebellion, so that the Qiang people form a class antagonism, and we can effectively control it. ”

On the side, Xiao Furong was dissatisfied with Wang Xu's naked use of human nature and making a simple nation so unbearable, so she couldn't help but interject: "If those Qiang people succeed in their rebellion and overthrow these nobles, won't the husband be busy in vain?" ”

Wang Xu smiled: "Madame said yes, but I think those new Qiang people, they won't want these privileges, right?" I dare to assert that unless there is a man of great talent among the Qiang, the nobles, no matter how they change, will ask for our recognition, and obtain the privileges which we have bestowed upon them, and which they have slowly grown.

No one can escape this spell of privilege, if there is really a far-sighted Qiang people, then there is no way, except to fight, there is no other way, as long as a system is formed, whoever violates this system and does not accept our division is not our friend, and the lord should kill those eloquent Hu people in the bud. ”

"Friends." Liu Zhang laughed and nodded, from ancient times to the present, the change of dynasty, which generation has escaped the curse of privilege, as long as the class ideology is formed, the people who climb to the top will not be willing to give up privileges, enlightened, cover up privileges, save but not use, harsh, privileges are explicit.

Wang Xu said: "If these two points are achieved, then the third point will be easy, as long as the aristocracy and aristocratic corruption are formed, we can take advantage of the class antagonism of the Qiang people, and the dependence of the upper class on us, and ask those upper interest groups to betray the interests of the lower class Qiang people."

For example, the Qiang soldiers are recruited, such as contributing or selling horses, and even migrating the population, and now Cao Cao is constantly moving the Hu people to the Han land, and the lord is doing more thoroughly in Wuxi, and the barbarian area, oh, Madame, forgives the sin, and the Wuxi territory has also become farmland, and we in the Qiang land, we also need to move the Qiang people inward to supplement the Jingyi population.

I believe that with the confrontation of the Qiang people, whether it is conscription or population migration, the pressure is much smaller, and the Xiqiang will be used by me, and the strategy of soft attack will be successful with the Qiang. ”

"Mr. is really a master, before I came to Xiqiang, I have been worried about Xiqiang, originally wanted to form an alliance with Tsing Yi Qiang to jointly control Xiqiang, Tsing Yi Qiang offended Xiliang, can only cooperate with us...... But now compared with Mr.'s strategy, it's really embarrassing. ”

Liu Zhang immediately frowned and said: "It's just that this soft attack strategy is a long-term strategy, the longer the time, the greater the effect, the general policy has been decided, there are still many details, if it is not handled well, it will not achieve the expected effect."

Especially in the early days, this requires a cadre, and if this cadre can endure hardships, who is competent? ”

Wang Xu said: "My lord, it is really a wise move for you to choose the cavalry of the Sichuan Army to stay in the territory of Xianlingqiang, as long as we develop this place well, it can play three major roles, first, deter the Qiang people of various departments, collect intelligence from various departments, and pay attention to the movements of various departments."

Second, get horses and cavalry.

Third, it will become a base for the implementation of a soft offensive strategy.

But the lord must ensure that this place is always used by the lord, the West Qiang is remote, often dealing with the Qiang people, and breaking away from the Han area, it is likely to cause the soldiers or generals left here to get out of the shackles.

The suggestion below is that the upper echelons of the Sichuan army here, both the lords of various departments, including Hu Che'er, should be replaced regularly, and the lower generals cannot be changed, otherwise many generals are unwilling to leave, which will lead to turmoil in the army, but the lower generals must change their garrisons regularly, and only retain a few personal soldiers to lead different soldiers and horses. ”

"Frequent changes of generals, will this lead to a lack of training in cavalry?" As a descendant, Liu Zhang had to worry about this.

Wang Xu sighed: "The lord is really far-sighted, ordinary princes can't see this, but I didn't expect the lord to see it at a glance, that's right, this will indeed lead to a weakening of combat power." ”

"I have a palliative solution." Wang Xu said: "The people sent to the grassland by the lord now are basically trustworthy generals, and with the grace of the lord, they will never betray."

And the most important thing is that now we have not yet established a foothold in Xiqiang, and at this time of difficulty, the generals will not have the heart to break away from the lord, they simply do not have that ability.

Therefore, his subordinates suggested that this group of generals could serve as generals for a long time until the lord conquered Xiliang, and this batch of trained grassland riders followed the expedition, and if they conquered Xiliang, they would implement a regular general system.

Even if the cavalry trained later is not high, at that time, the lord has conquered Xiliang, do you still need a small Xianlingqiang grassland to train cavalry? At that time, the purpose of the existence of the Sichuan army here was not to train cavalry, but to lay a nail in Xiqiang to deter Xiqiang and corrupt the source of Xiqiang. ”

Liu Zhang nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. has been talking about it for so long, and he hasn't said who can be in charge of Xiqiang's affairs in general." ”

Wang Xu said with a smile: "I am not talented, so I recommend myself." ”

"Sir?" Liu Zhang was surprised.

"The lord thinks Wang Xu is not up to the task?"

"No, no, no." Liu Zhang waved his hand and said: "Mr. first let me be wary of the Xiqiang Sichuan Army getting out of control, and then recommend myself as handsome, which can be described as a high wind and bright festival, but Mr.'s body is ......."

Liu Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Xu has always looked sickly, coughing constantly, as if a gust of wind can blow down, can such a person live in a bitter cold place like Xiqiang with three winters a year?

"Thank you, Lord." Wang Xu smiled and said: "How long can my body last, I have a good heart, not to mention that now there is Fazheng by the lord's side, and Huang Yueying in Jingzhou, during the period of internal affairs, how can I Wang Xu serve, there is only Xiqiang left for my subordinates to display their ambitions."

In recent years, with the decline of the Han Court, the Hu people are becoming more and more powerful, Wang Xu feels that these Hu people are likely to become the hidden worries of the Han Court in the future, and he also hopes to do something for the Han Court in his lifetime, Xiqiang is exactly where Wang Xu is willing to stay. ”

"Born in the bitter cold, living in the bitter cold, life is also bitter cold, Mr. Hard." Liu Zhang stood up and bowed sincerely to Wang Xu. (To be continued.) )
