Chapter 314: Hu Wuren, Han Daochang
Chapter 314 Hu Wuren, Han Daochang
"As for those tribes that have not been hindered by their armies, they shall also recruit the men of their tribes as soldiers, and go with the great army...... After all, in addition to the Eastern Turks, isn't there also a Western Turk waiting for me to go on a conquest? ”
"What Your Majesty said is very true."
In this regard, the courtiers naturally had no objections.
Even if some people think this is a bit too brutal, they know that it is the most effective way to deal with the aliens.
"In addition, in addition to the conquest, for the grassland, those nobles who take the initiative to take refuge must be vigorously wooed," Su Zimo said quietly: "You can reward them and collect them for your own use." ”
These words caused the ministers to nod again.
After all, Confucian culture is now the mainstream, and in addition to the Turks, there are still alien forces such as Tiele and Tuhun Valley, which cannot be ignored.
If it is a wanton conquest and brutal slaughter, it will inevitably put these aliens in danger.
And here, naturally, it is necessary to win over a group of people.
Thinking of this, Su Zimo also remembered the Eight Banners strategy adopted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty when they entered the customs in history.
The strategy of the Eight Banners was originally an organizational form within the Manchurians, with the flag as a symbol as a guide in order to facilitate the unified command of large-scale hunting or operations.
After entering the customs, in order to facilitate the rule, this law was promoted, and the "Mongolian Eight Banners" and "Han Eight Banners" appeared.
After entering the customs, the reorganization and expansion of the Eight Banners system provided the Manchu Qing Dynasty with sufficient troop resources, established the Eight Banners Army distributed throughout the country, and enabled this army to have strong combat effectiveness for a considerable period of time.
In addition, it played a huge role in the battles of conquering the "three feudatories", attacking Tsarist Russia in the north, and recovering the city of Yaksa.
In the current situation, it is indeed possible to copy the Manchu Eight Banners system and form the Eight Banners among the Turks.
"I thought that when these Hu nobles came to vote, they could be crowned as the masters of the Eight Banners, and ordered these people to gather all the departments and organize them into an army, and each family sent one soldier, or several soldiers.
Ten soldiers for a fire, five fires for a team, five teams plus pro-soldiers, every three hundred people for a cow, set up a leader, every five cattle for a Jiala, set up a Jiala, set up a Jiala, three Jiala a flag, the flag owner is also called the capital! ”
Speaking of this, it was a pause, and after the courtiers below digested this information, they said quietly: "Of course, after the establishment of the Eight Banners, the internal hierarchy is strict, and the lower level faces the upper level, and they must call themselves slaves, and the banner master, although he is the master of the whole banner, but for me, he must also call himself a slave!" ”
"This is an iron rule, but it cannot be lost!"
Through this heavy differentiation, the formation of classes is to imperceptibly enslave these Hu people.
"Your Majesty, although this law is good, if these banner owners rebel, it will inevitably cause a big disaster, in case it ......"
Obviously, there are naturally far-sighted people among the ministers, and they have also noticed the risks behind the Eight Banners system, after all, the Hu people are wild and untamable, although the total number of the Eight Banners is only tens of thousands, but if it is expanded into an army, the consequences are also quite serious.
"You don't have to worry about this."
In this regard, Su Zimo shook his head and said quietly: "This Eight Banners is not limited, but a ten-year term, and after the end of the term, he will be awarded an official title according to his merits, and he will be given a mansion in the capital and given the status of a Han person." ”
Hearing this, the ministers were also relieved.
If it is a ten-year term, then even if the flag owner wants to win people's hearts, it is difficult to succeed, and once the ten-year period passes, he loses the identity of the flag owner.
"I don't know how this merit is judged?"
"Naturally, it is decided by military merit and prisoners."
Speaking of this, Su Zimo couldn't help but smile, his expression was a little indescribably cold, and said: "This Hu people have eight banners, kill one person, you can be promoted, kill ten people, you can get rid of the identity of Hu people."
As for if you kill twenty or thirty people...... Even a hundred people are warriors, so they naturally have to be awarded official titles! ”
"As for the captives, they are counted among the adult males, and as for the women and children of the appropriate age, they are only half the number of the adult males. And these men were used as slaves, and women and children were also sent into slavery. ”
It can be said that this is a road to rise by stepping on the flesh and blood of one's own people, and if you want to be free, if you want to gain glory and wealth, you must constantly stain the blood of your own clan.
When he got rid of the identity of the Hu people in the future, he was already stained with the blood of his compatriots, how could he turn back?
And the owner of the Eight Banners, if he wants to obtain high-ranking officials, glory and wealth after the end of his term of office, he must constantly kill and capture his compatriots...... Otherwise, at the end of the term, they will be reduced to civilians at best.
At that time, how could those Hu people who had been exploited, oppressed, and brutalized let go of these banner owners?
There is only one way.
That is, kill, keep killing, and the more you kill, the safer these banner owners will be!
Even, when necessary, Su Zimo will not hesitate to reward and vigorously promote the "heroic deeds" of these banner people, then their only choice is to go one way to the black, even if they know that it is a thief ship, they have to jump on it.
As for those captured Hu people, they naturally acted as conscripts, contributing to the great cause of the empire and contributing their last drop of blood.
In this way, no matter how arduous the project is, as long as there is a steady stream of Hu people to fill it, then the people under Su Zimo's rule will not have a trace of complaints, but will benefit from these projects and sing praises one after another!
Roosevelt once said, "A dead Indian is a good Indian!" ”
But here, Su Zimo wanted to say: "Only a dead Hu person is a good Hu person!" ”
As for the courtiers below, they don't know what to say at the moment......
Speaking from the heart, this series of measures is not only conducive to the pacification of the Turks, but even after 20 years, in addition to those Hu people who have entered the banner, there can be Hu people left behind.
Moreover, this move brought a large number of labor to the empire and spared the suffering of the people of Li from servitude.
But from a moral point of view, many people feel that they can't get over that hurdle in their hearts.
This move is really inhumane.
As if seeing what everyone was thinking, Su Zimo couldn't help but smile lightly, and said quietly: "Do you Aiqing think that these measures of mine are too brutal and violate human morality?" ”
"Ministers...... Can't. ”
Don't dare, that is to say, these people are afraid that they already have this idea in their hearts.
In this regard, Su Zimo smiled, did not break it, but shook his head and said: "You don't need to panic, I also know that I am hurting my virtue by doing this, but for the sake of the people, I have to ......."
"Even if I have to enter the eighteenth layer of hell in the future and sink forever, for the sake of my Han family, I will not regret even if I die!"
"Your Majesty!"
Speaking of this, the ministers also had to be moved, and they bowed their heads one after another.
"The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty, although they will not regret their death!"
There are naturally not a few monarchs who have devoted themselves to the country, but there are indeed very few who can do this.
As for them, they all felt an inexplicable shame at this moment, so that their hearts were surging, and the inexplicable unbearability before had already been thrown out of the clouds!
Seeing this scene, Su Zimo also nodded.
After more than ten years of subtle transformation, although these courtiers may not be able to do their best and die, at least in terms of loyalty, they have reached the standard.
As for selfishness?
Even if it is those famous ministers who are widely circulated in later generations, how many people can do it without the slightest selfishness?
As long as you can be loyal to your duties and serve the country and the people, even if it is a loss of personal morality, it is within the limit of tolerance, so why bother with those trivial things.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.
If you emphasize honesty and dedication to public service, and do not take a stitch and a thread, it is indeed difficult for some strong people.
Of course, this is also Su Zimo's own opinion, and the monitoring of the intelligence agency "Luo Net" is also indispensable, otherwise it will cause unnecessary chaos if it is left unchecked.
"Your Majesty, the minister has one more question."
Suddenly, Wei Zheng, who had been silent, suddenly got up and said.
Over the years, Wei Zheng has gradually emerged in the court, and has been constantly reused by Su Zimo, first serving as a civilian in the cabinet, after two years of training, and then sent to the state capital as a party chief.
During his term of office, he can be regarded as diligent and loving the people, and he will take care of his rule in an orderly manner.
Now, Wei Zheng, who is only a few years old, has already served as the secretary of the ministry, which can be regarded as a favored and honored.
"Aiqing, please speak."
But seeing Wei Zheng nodded slightly, he said, "Your Majesty's strategy is indeed effective, but it's just ...... If one day, the Hu people are killed, what should these children of the Eight Banners do? ”
In this regard, Su Zimo was also stunned.
At the beginning, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty did play a significant role, but later, the Eight Banners system gradually declined, but it became a burden on the Manchus.
And Wei Zheng was able to notice this when the Eight Banners were not yet established, which shows that his title of a famous minister through the ages is indeed extraordinary.
"I have my own plans for this."
In the curious eyes of the ministers, Su Zimo smiled lightly and said faintly: "When the Hu people are killed and wounded, these Eight Banners disciples can also go to other battlefields to open up territory for my Great Sui and conquer the rest of the clans."
At that time, not only the Eight Banners of the Hu people, but also the rest of the ethnic groups can also use this as a benchmark to erect a benchmark and expand the territory of our Great Sui.
When more than half of these Eight Banners disciples are killed or wounded, and it is difficult to form an organization, they can be disbanded. At that time, I will also reward them for meritorious deeds and give them official titles and Han status. ”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Hearing this, even Wei Zheng had nothing to say, and when things came to this point, the strategy of the Eight Banners had already been finalized.
All that's left is to carry it out smoothly.
"In this way, the external troubles will be removed, and the strength of Buddhism will be greatly reduced after the loss of the four holy monks and Ning Daoqi, but it cannot be wiped out, but it is necessary to cultivate the power of Buddhism that belongs to itself, so as not to take advantage of the rise of Taoism."
As an emperor, the most important thing is the trade-off.
Suppression or support is not a long-term strategy, but it is necessary to maintain the balance of forces of all parties internally.
"In the end, there is only one goal left to find the Temple of the God of War......"
This volume, by tomorrow, will almost be over...... Basically, the content of Datang, including all forces, is more or less mentioned, and of course, there is also a part of my self-esteem......
Sometimes it's written and written.,Can't extricate yourself.,It's really a very distressing thing.,On the one hand, in order to eat.,To think about how to cater to the preferences of the readers.,On the other hand,You have to pass your own level.。
Although I tell myself every time that I want to write a thoroughly cool article next time, I sometimes find it difficult to do this.
Maybe...... This is also the reason why some people can become great gods, and the author is just a small street in the end.
PS: Testimonials are not counted in the word count, the last time I opened a single testimonial, I found that there were 3 people who subscribed...... In the future, let's give a speech at the end of the chapter,
Good night, readers!
