Xie Niancheng decided that the first step in his expansion was to conquer the Xikang region, but it was always bad to directly attack the territory controlled by the revolutionary army.

West. Chang and the surrounding areas are collectively known as the Great and Xiaoice Mountain area.

In this vast land of thousands of miles, especially in the lofty mountains and mountains with an altitude of up to 3,000 meters, there are no Han people, but millions of barbarians.

Even if it's the West. In the Chang area, the Han people are also a minority, and the barbarians are the majority.

The reason for this population distribution is also easy to understand, that is, these mountains are neither suitable for agriculture nor animal husbandry, and the high altitude makes it difficult to breathe, so the Han people naturally do not choose to live in such places.

Haruko sent the information on Da Xiaoice Mountain sorted out by the Secret Service and the Secret Bureau to Xie Niancheng:

The iceberg barbarian region is still in a hierarchical slave society. The class relations between the slave owners and the slaves and the producers of labor in general are expressed in a strict hierarchical form.

All members of society are divided into five grades according to the possession of the means of production and strict hierarchy and blood relations: "Zmo", "Nuohe", "Qunuo", "Aga", and "Xiaxi".

"Zimo", which means "right" in barbarian, is called "Tusi" in Chinese, and the dominance of "Zimo" in most regions has been replaced by the "Nuohe" hierarchy.

"Nuohe", which means "group", is the meaning of master, subject, and black, and is called "black barbarian" in Chinese, which is the de facto highest ruling rank of the iceberg barbarian society, accounting for about 7% of the local barbarian population, enjoying various political and economic privileges, and being the main occupier of the means of production, land, and "Ajia" and "Xiaxi". There is an unbridgeable gap with other hierarchies.

"Qunuo" means white, and the Han is called "white man". It is the highest rank among the ruled, between the black barbarians and the "Aga" and "Xiaxi", accounting for about 50% of the population, the person belongs to the black barbarian slave owners, lives in the master's jurisdiction, is not allowed to move at will, and has to serve a certain amount of unpaid labor for the master every year. They generally occupy part of the land and the means of production and subsistence. A small number of wealthy "Qunuo" also occupy part of "Aga" and "Xiaxi".

"Ajia" means "brothers and sisters inside and outside the door", and the Han is called "Anjia baby", accounting for about 33% of the total population. There is no freedom of movement, and most of the year the master is served without pay for the master, who can sell the "agha" as a whole or individually. The children of "Aga" can be drawn in whole or in part by their masters as "Xiaxi", and generally have a very small amount of land and other means of production and subsistence.

"Xiaxi" means "the siblings next to the master's pot village". Han called "Guozhuang baby". They are the lowest class of the governed, about 10% of the total population, they have nothing, no personal freedom, and can be bought and sold and tortured by their masters at will. After the master marries him and starts a family, he can become "Agha".

All members of the ruling hierarchy are called "gangsters" by the rulers. "Jiegang" has the meaning of being governed, and was called "baby" by the Han people in the past.

In the iceberg barbarian region, there is no unified political organization. With the exception of a small number of "Zimo" (Tusi) districts, the rule of the "Nuohe" family branch played the role of an organization of political power.

The family branch has the characteristics of a primitive clan organization. The barbarian word for it is "Chuxi" or "Chujia", and it is an organization based on paternal kinship, linked by a genealogy of father and son, each with a common ancestor and surname.

There are many branches of the iceberg, and there are about 100 "Nuohe" family branches, and each "Nuohe" family branch has a relatively stable area, and the family branches do not belong to each other. There is no permanent governing body, but each branch has a varying number of chiefs, called "Suyi" and "Degu", who are experienced, proficient in barbarian customary law, good at resolving disputes, and respected.

In order to maintain the "purity" of the blood of the ruling caste, intermarriage and extramarital sexual relations between the ruling class and the ruled class were strictly prohibited, and violators were not only expelled from the family, but even punished by death.

Customary law stipulates that each family branch must defend its own interests and may fight for its own interests, and this struggle between family branches, and sometimes even within family branches, is customarily called a war between slave owners for their interests. In the iceberg barbarian slave society, there were many family branches, many enemies, and frequent fights, resulting in heavy casualties and property losses.

If you want to build roads and railways, you must pass through these barbarian areas.

But how to transform these barbarians? Xie Niancheng didn't think of a good way for a while.

The development of the situation often pushes people's thinking, and without waiting for Xie Niancheng to find trouble with the barbarians, the trouble first found Xie Niancheng: something happened to the "road construction vanguard" in Sichuan.

After the road and railway embankments in the main areas of Sichuan were almost completed, the road construction team composed of "counter-revolutionaries in Sichuan Province" and "Shanghai Youth Gang counter-revolutionaries" began the construction of the highway and railway embankments from Ya'an to Xichang under the escort of the soldiers of the revolutionary army.

The revolutionary army's management of the road construction vanguard is still very humane, although the vanguard does the hardest and most tiring work, but the government still manages them well, and every once in a while will select the advanced according to their worksheets.

Those who are rated as advanced are free, and those who choose to return to their hometowns will be paid wages and travel expenses by the revolutionary army; Those who choose to stay in the road construction team will become managers.

Those who dare to make trouble or run away are to be shot directly.

Under such a combination of grace and power, these former hooligan ruffians have become experts in labor, which makes ordinary workers and peasants who are accustomed to living ashamed of themselves.

This time, the revolutionary army sent them to build roads in the barbarian area, and the people in the vanguard were also very active.

As a result, an advance team of more than 100 people was attacked by barbarians in the mountains, and only a few escaped, and according to those who escaped, a few of these more than 100 people were unfortunately killed on the spot, and most of them were captured by the barbarians.

The person who was captured must have been sold as a "baby".

This incident soon set off monstrous waves in Sichuan.

The public opinion in Sichuan under Xie Niancheng's control has always been to promote the concept of Greater China and dilute ethnic distinctions, but this time, the unfavorable voices against the barbarians are very great.

Some extreme emperors and Han elements even shouted the slogan: "Learn from the United States and kill all the barbarians."

The Emperor Han elements not only shouted slogans, but even organized a "volunteer army" of several thousand people from all over Sichuan to pay homage to Ya. Ann began to assemble and threatened to enter the Xiaoice Mountain to save his compatriots.

The occurrence of such a thing also gave the Sichuan Revolutionary Army an excuse to march into the Da Xiaoice Mountain area.

In the end, Xie Niancheng chose to lead the two armies of the Second and Third Armies and the Front Army Guard Regiment to the battle.

The heavy equipment of the First Army is really inconvenient to move in the large and Xiaoice mountain areas where roads have not yet been built.

Tens of thousands of troops arrived in Ya. After being stationed in the An area, Xie Niancheng found the local barbarians who lived together with the Han people and asked them to go into the mountains to spread the word.

There are two main aspects to the content.

The first is to demand that the barbarians of the iceberg give an explanation for the "road construction team incident", and Xie Niancheng's conditions are to unconditionally release all the captured personnel and demand a huge amount of gold and silver as compensation.

The second is to require the iceberg barbarians to register their household registration, which will henceforth be under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan provincial government.

In the eyes of the local Han people and barbarians looking at the stupid X, Xie Niancheng finished talking about the conditions.

"The new commander-in-chief of this Han is really still a child!"

The local Han people thought.

Are the iceberg barbarians so obedient? If you are really so obedient, why hasn't it been changed for thousands of years?

According to the practice of the past, if the Han people entered the mountains, if they were captured by the barbarians, they had to pay a ransom before they could be released. If you say a few words, you will want the barbarians to release them, and you will have to ask the barbarians to pay compensation, your brain is broken!

The idea of the barbarians is simpler.

For thousands of years, these barbarians have their own pride: you Han people are at the bottom of the mountain, but in the mountains, we are barbarians!

For thousands of years, how many times the Han army tried to conquer the Great and Xiaoice Mountains by force, perhaps both sides of the Han barbarians have lost their memory.

I can't remember it clearly, but the human skulls left in the village on the mountain for thousands of years have been recorded.

Those are the corpses of Han Chinese who tried to conquer the mountains! It is also the best record of the barbarian warriors' martial arts.

After these barbarians went up the mountain, they still let the words out.

The leaders of the mountain listened to it, and then they forgot it.

When did the eagles of the mountains fear the hunters who crossed the mountains?

What can you Han people do now if you have firearms? The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and your firearms may not be as useful as our hunting knives and crossbows!

Arrived at Ya. Ann, Xie Niancheng asked the troops to carry out adaptive mountain combat training, and he himself was still thinking, how to solve this problem?

Xie Niancheng will never be reluctant to give up bullets to those who oppose him. But if he is asked to give a genocide order, just as white Americans massacred North American Indians, and white British people massacred Australian natives, he can't do it.

Perhaps influenced by the thinking before the time travel, in his heart, all the people living in the land of China are the Chinese nation and their own people.

However, the "own people" in the mountains don't seem to think so.

What should I do?

Xie Niancheng kept writing and drawing on the blank paper in front of him.

To transform a nation, there are some ways in Xie Niancheng's memory:

First, genocide, such as the massacre of Indians and natives by whites.

Second, religious conversion, such as the Jacarandism that came from the borders of Europe, Asia and Africa in the west, forcibly developed tens of millions of Han people into the "Blue Flower Tribe" in China.

Third, forcibly relocation, such as if someone in a certain red empire does not obey the discipline, I will let you leave your homeland and go thousands of miles away.

Fourth, spiritual erasure, such as a certain pigtailed nation forcing all other ethnic groups to "keep their hair but not their heads".

Fifth, secularization and transformation, a certain rabbit group tries to use power to buy the top and use economic interests to buy the bottom, and the effect seems to be both good and bad.

What to do?

Xie Niancheng looked at the several plans on the paper and was a little hesitant. (To be continued......)
