The struggle between the Central Plains Dynasty, with the Han nationality as the main body, and the northern nomads lasted for more than 2,000 years, and there were few times when the Han really had the upper hand. During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty was strong and prosperous, and it took only more than 30 years to destroy the Eastern and Western Turks. Many of them would become generals of the Tang army and indeed serve the Tang Dynasty's conquests, such as Qibiali (Tiele people) during the Taizong period, Li Guangbi (Khitan people) and Geshuhan (Turks) during the Xuanzong period.

And Tang Taizong, who was famous for his martial arts, was elected as the Heavenly Khan by many northern nomads who submitted to him, and this qiē gave him a feeling of returning to the heart of the world. Therefore, Tang Taizong was full of self-confidence and flaunted that he was different from the emperors of the past. He claimed that he treated Huaxia and Di Yi equally, without prejudice.

Of course, Tang Taizong's view was correct, but this correct view was based on and backed by the Tang Dynasty's dominant and powerful position in the national struggle. In the same way, there is also a reason why other Central Plains dynasties in a passive defensive position hold the "great defense of Huayi", which is a logical weak mentality.

And "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different" is a summary of the experience of Han scholars in the long history. Of course, this includes distrust, fear, and vigilance against the northern nomads, and it is also the instinctive reaction of the Han people to frequent foreign invasions by barbarian peoples and suffer many catastrophes.

At the same time, however, through the Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the pattern of a unified multi-ethnic state has been formed.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yongxing admires the domineering spirit of "those who offend me and strengthen the man, even if they are far away, they will be punished", and he also regards the "strong man" as the Han Dynasty (country), not anything else.

"China, China. The prince was taught. It belongs to China. Dress dignified, customs filial piety, living etiquette, so it is called China. ”

Zhu Yongxing believes that it is necessary to maintain and respect the historical traditions and national pride of the Chinese nation with the Han nationality as the main body, but the narrow national outlook is the main reason that hinders the country's strength and prosperity and makes it easy to form a separatist tendency. At this point, it's not just the Han Chinese. The same is true for other peoples.

Rather than distinguishing by blood and ethnicity, you will be judged by cultural identity whether you are a member of the big family of the Chinese nation. While ethnic equality should be promoted, it is also necessary to recognize the leading role played by the Han Chinese in Chinese history. Moreover, the recognition of this fact is not contrary to the principle of the equality of peoples.

Because, historically, it is not national privileges that play a leading role, but advanced methods of production. The advanced nationalities have played a large role in history, while the backward tribes or nationalities have played a small role. In Chinese history, the Han nation has always been in an advanced position. The Han nationality plays a leading role in economic development and cultural and artistic innovation, as well as in the struggle against foreign enemies. This is a historical fact.

Of course. From the Chinese nationality to the Chinese nation, there is indeed the problem of discrimination between ethnic groups. However, from ancient times to the present, which advanced nation has not discriminated against backward nations? This discrimination is, of course, wrong, but it is also understandable. Economic and cultural advancement inevitably creates a sense of superiority. The Han people were a civilized nation thousands of years ago, governing the world with three outlines and five constants, courtesy, righteousness and shame, and proclamation of authority with a system of rules and regulations. Culture, science and technology, many surrounding ethnic groups are very fond of the Han civilization. Some ethnic groups took the initiative to integrate into the Han nationality, and more ethnic groups learned from the Han nationality.

Moreover, this sense of superiority of the Han people did not create a fundamental barrier from other ethnic groups, on the contrary, the ancient Chinese's view of the world is a concept that seems very open today, and everyone agrees with those who truly enter the summer. And the homicidal people in their own tribe are also derogatory.

Backed by strong military and economic strength, we frankly agree that the Tibetans, Miao, Mongolians, Hui and other ethnic groups belong to the Chinese nation, bravely accept people of other ethnic groups who are willing to accept advanced ideas and bathe in Chinese civilization, constantly enhance cohesion and sense of belonging, and jointly create a brilliant and great country. This is the ethnic policy that Zhu Yongxing is promoting.

The recruitment of fanqi is just one of the many measures of national integration that have been implemented for a long time, and it is also an external manifestation of the further strengthening of confidence in the country's strength.

Although the state is not yet able to resolutely implement the "reform of the land and return to the stream", some moderate policies have been quietly implemented, such as the heirs of the local officials must study in academies, such as the establishment of schools in the local government, prefectures, and counties, such as the implementation of preferential policies in the surrounding areas to attract the local people.

And when the local official has no heir, there is no successor, or the clan fights, he will send a rogue official to take over; The local officials fought against each other, and after they were pacified, they sent the officials to take over; If a local official commits a crime, he or she will be dismissed from his post and replaced by a rogue official; When a local citizen applies to the government to "change the land and return to the stream", the imperial court also dismisses the hereditary local officials and changes them to liuguan with the so-called intention of serving the people. In short, the Ming Dynasty immediately seized the opportunity to change the flow of the ......

"The illegal toast is captured by strategy, and the soldiers are secondary; Make it automatically surrender to the top, and order the land to be secondary; It is necessary to prepare for the use of troops, but not to use them exclusively. Deter each other by force, and strive to solve the problem by political means. "The court has rules and regulations for the disposal of various toasts. At the same time, the imperial court also constantly adjusted the unreasonable administrative divisions on the borders of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces, so as to unify the powers of affairs and make the local officials act in a controlled manner. Moreover, this is also one of the main reasons why Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan has always supported troops to sit in Yungui.

And the example of changing the land and returning to the stream, Na Song, as an ethnic minority, jumped into the cabinet center; Long Jizhao and Long Jizuo, the Tuguan of Thani Province in Yunnan Province, handed over the hereditary territory and the Tusi Seal Letter, returned to the central government, and were rewarded and promoted. One was the governor of Guangnan, the other was transferred to the prefect of Baoding, and the youngest brother Long Jixiang still led the post of the commander of Annan and ran the territory that was robbed in Nanzhang.

Whether it is Na Song's clear shape shì, or the Long family's addition of glory to the dragon in the harem, in the absence of turmoil, the change of land and return to the stream was not officially proposed, nor was it drastic, it seemed to go with the flow, but it was also quite effective. In particular, the Tusi of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces were originally close to the interior and had limited power, and once they were caught, they could only helplessly hand over their power to India and obey the government's resettlement.

And the government is not harsh on these active Tusi, keeping property, rewarding them as appropriate, or giving them secular positions or incumbent military positions, so that although they have no real power, they can still live a prosperous life. As for whether it will be defeated or prosperous in the future, it depends on the efforts of the individual.

In the areas where the land was changed and returned to the river, the government re-cultivated the land, abolished the original tax collection system of the Tusi, and levied taxes per acre of land, just like the mainland, and the amount was less than that in the mainland within five years. This not only greatly reduced the exploitation of the original natives, but also did not give the disgruntled Tusi the opportunity and reason to incite the people to rebel.

Changes are changing everywhere, some are vigorous and resolute, and some are imperceptible, but in the tide of reform set off by Zhu Yongxing, the people in the whole country have more or less felt this.

Perhaps the common people are just calculating how much population they can increase at home, how many fields they will cultivate, how much grain they can harvest this year, and how many meals they can eat meat; But those who have a heart are gradually realizing that the traditional era is gradually moving away, and the current emperor is walking a different path from history.

Officials' governance, imperial examinations, whistle-blowing supervision, separation of administration and justice, and openness of local government affairs...... These are for officials and officials, and the atmosphere of specialization is getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer an all-powerful official; The Seven Sages and Confucianism, although Confucianism is not explicitly depreciated, but the status of the sole respect is becoming more and more loose, which is the love and hatred of the scholars, the emperor's love and hatred, I am afraid that it is a direct factor that directly affects their ranks.

Merchants have a more relaxed environment, from the sea to the land, the trade routes have been greatly expanded, and their social status has also been greatly improved, as long as you abide by the law and pay taxes according to the regulations, you do not have to worry about the government's troubles, and there is a way to complain; The factory owners have preferential tax policies, and while the strong demand of the market continues to expand the scale of production, the "Labor Regulations" issued by the government have made it regulated and restricted.

Peace and stability, light and light labor, opportunity development, fairness and transparency...... Mixed with a series of intensively promulgated laws and regulations, it constituted the main theme of the early Zhaowu period.

However, in the period of peace and recovery after the end of the usual large-scale wars, the punishment of the state was more severe, and exile was the most common method.

Corrupt officials, unscrupulous profiteers, corrupt officials, thieves and bandits, and even unscrupulous ruffians and hooligans were all sentenced to exile. The place of exile was from the two provinces of the Mee River, and now concentrated in Borneo. It is a way of overseas emigration, and it is also a means of clearing up the social order at home. A deeper consideration is the "legalization of civilian firearms" that will be implemented in various provinces to minimize the negative effect of this policy on social order.

Change, everywhere is changing, and everyone is adapting, whether it's active or passive.

Take Li Dingguo, the king of the Jin Dynasty in the northwest, for example, he is a prince, and he is a hereditary replacement, and his status is so noble, but he also has to find his place in the constantly adjusted political and military structure of the imperial court, and keep up with the new ideas of the imperial court.

The highest military decision-making body will be the Military Council, which will be composed of seven people, including the chief and vice chief of the army, the chief and deputy chief of the navy, the chief of the general staff, the deputy chief of the general staff, and the emperor himself. If Li Dingguo enters the center, the army chief will be nine out of ten; If he remains in the northwest, he will play the role of a pillar of optimus.

Although he still had correspondence with the emperor and Zhu Yongxing's tone was cordial and respectful, Li Dingguo no longer dared to insist on his own ideas on this major matter. In other words, he just stated how to arrange it and listened to the will of the imperial court.

Looking at the location of the city's separate recruitment of Fanqi and Hu people from afar, there are a lot of people around, but it seems that there are few people who have signed up. Li Dingguo shook his head gently, his family members were all outside the Saiwai, and the tribal leaders were very strict with the herdsmen's personal restraints, although the emperor's idea was good, it was not easy to receive results. Forget it, the cavalry can't be recruited, and it's okay to recruit some people who take care of the horses!
