936. The aggressor's means
Looking at the Goguryeo slaves who were struggling to help the Tang army clean up the streets and were still building the city walls, and there were some so-called overseers beside those slaves, Jing Wen smiled in his heart. Because he knew that his plan had succeeded, because he had succeeded in dividing these Goguryeo people into two classes. And these Goguryeo people who belonged to the free people, although they were born the same as those slaves, they were ordinary people in Goguryeo, but Jingwen deliberately artificially assigned them a higher status.
In fact, this is also a special situation in the anti-Japanese period in later generations, and those invaders in later generations came to China, all of them adopted the means of using China to contain China. Deliberately let some people enjoy a higher status, and some of these people who enjoy a higher status voluntarily become traitors, and some are "been" as traitors. Even if you don't take the initiative to be a traitor, once the aggressor gives you a higher status than ordinary people, then you are already a traitor in the eyes of those people who are from the same background as you. Although he didn't want to take the initiative, he was deliberately too high-statused, and he was hated by people who had the same status as him. In this way, they can't get rid of it even if they want to, because they have been isolated by those who have been deliberately degraded from their status.
This division becomes two classes, and then the "class contradictions" within them will naturally erupt. Whether it is because of the general interests of the nation or because the other party has robbed itself of its own interests, it will cause contradictions. In this way, even those who did not take the initiative to become traitors were forced to get involved in this senseless class contradiction, and finally could not extricate themselves. And those who invade can spare their energies to manage these people, while those who are deliberately divided into two classes start an internal struggle between their own compatriots, ignoring the existence of the invaders. So this situation is very tragic.
The Goguryeo slaves who had been deprived of their property looked differently at those who could continue to enjoy the freedmen and who were also able to acquire land from them. Apparently they were considered traitors. However, those who are still free people Goguryeo are absolutely aggrieved in their hearts, and they take the initiative to explain, but they can't explain it. Because they have no way to explain it, no matter how they explain it, those who have been reduced to slavery do not believe their words. And those who still belong to the free people also want to cry, because they have been deliberately raised by Jingwen to some status, so they have been hostile to those slaves. And they want to explain, but they can't explain it. They also knew that if the Goguryeo army fought back, they might not be able to live in peace with these Goguryeo people who had been reduced to slaves. After all, they had formed two classes out of thin air before, even if one day the Goguryeo people fought back again. Then those Goguryeo people will also liberate those who have been degraded to slavery, and in turn suppress these who have been raised by the Tang army. But they don't want to be elevated, but will the rest of Goguryeo listen to it then? Will those who have been degraded as slaves listen?
Now these Goguryeo freedmen have no choice but to be forced to cooperate with the Tang Army, so that their property and life can be guaranteed. After all, if the Goguryeo people come back, I'm afraid they will counterattack them, so they really can't explain it. Even if you want to explain, people have to listen and believe it!
"Jieshuai, your method is really ......" Lin Fei didn't know what to say.
"It's too lacking in virtue, isn't it?" Jingwen asked.
"Hmm!" Lin Fei was a little embarrassed. Apparently think so, too.
And Jingwen immediately said: "This method can actually be used by many foreign people." In the future, I will expand the territory of Datang, and this method can also be used for the local people. Use some people to deliberately improve their status. In this way, even if they do not deliberately want to take refuge in us, they are already traitors in the eyes of their people. This kind of thing can't be explained clearly. So they were really forced to work with us. Because if they Goguryeo fight back, then I'm afraid they will also be counterattacked. ”
Jingwen really admired the Japanese army that invaded China back then, and they actually came up with this method. Back then, Jingwen saw those so-called people who were forced to be traitors on TV. One by one, they said how helpless they were. Jingwen really sprayed them when he was a child, but now that he has grown up, he has really begun to use this method, so that he can truly understand the mentality of those who are forced to be traitors. Although they did not take the initiative to be traitors, once the invaders deliberately raised their status, they became two classes out of thin air. People with the same status as himself back then would have isolated him, and he was also a traitor in the eyes of a large group of people. There is no way to clean up this kind of thing, after all, everyone thinks so, and you can't tell it all over your mouth.
Jingwen didn't want to wash the ground for the traitors back then, but in fact, he had such a means to deliberately divide several classes into several classes within the ruling class out of thin air. Although they are all governed, they are provoked by the higher classes, and then they themselves are caught in internal contradictions, unable to concentrate their forces against the higher classes. This is also a method of the Japanese army, which makes you irresistible, because this is also taking advantage of the complexity of the human heart, hatred, jealousy, and all kinds of negative thoughts. Once someone is elevated, the negative thoughts of jealousy and hatred in that person's heart will also explode against those people. At that time, those who are forced to improve their status will not be able to integrate into the same status as them again.
As for what dies, it's too difficult. Not everyone can choose to commit suicide or fight the enemy, and it is impossible to force everyone to choose to die or fight the enemy. After all, there are too few such people, so this gives the aggressor the means to deliberately artificially divide the hierarchy within the ruled class, so that they are caught in their own internal contradictions and unable to resist the aggressor.
"The human heart is so complicated!" Jingwen sighed and shook his head, obviously very helpless about this situation.
However, Jingwen didn't care about any means, the methods used by the Japanese back then, and now Jingwen has also used them again on the Goguryeo people, so that the Goguryeo people will be caught in their own internal struggle from now on, and they will not be able to concentrate on resisting the Tang Dynasty.
