Chapter 357: Slightly moved
Zhao Hanzhang didn't expect them to have this understanding, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, in reality, what they said was right.
But the reality does not mean that it is right, and Liu Yuan, the founding emperor of Han Zhao, was obviously aware of this, so he hoped that the Xiongnu and Han people could be close to each other.
Although Liu Yuan is a Xiongnu, he has accepted Han culture since he was a child, and he was hostage in Luoyang when he was young, and his Han cultural literacy is not inferior to that of a Jin person, so he admires Han rule very much.
Zhao Hanzhang believes that he named the country Han, not only because he considered himself a descendant of the Han family and inherited the rule of Shu Han justifiably (although it was an excuse), but also because of the education he received since childhood.
Now that he has just founded the country, he admires the rule of Hu with Han.
Don't look at him launching a war to attack Luoyang for two consecutive years, but in fact, he has been restraining the army under his rule, hoping that they will not offend the people, and once they win the hearts of the people, they will achieve the goal of "calling the Han to cherish the people's hope".
He wanted to put himself in the same position as the Jin State to replace the old with the new, and if one dynasty wanted to replace another, then he must break through its capital and destroy its fallen country.
Liu Yuan never wanted to establish a Xiongnu Khanate, he wanted to replace the Jin State and unify the entire Kyushu.
At present, the contradiction between the Xiongnu and the ordinary Han people is actually not irreconcilable, Liu Yuan's rule over the Han people at the beginning was also moderate, but the people under his command were disobedient one after another, the characteristics of the nomads, after grabbing territory, they plundered property, and they were more accustomed to managing the people as slaves.
Even Han generals like Wang Mi were ruthless in killing Han people, let alone looting property and population.
In a few years, they killed more people, and the contradictions between the Han and the Xiongnu could no longer be reconciled.
Dividing people into ranks, the Huns are the first class, above all ethnic groups, and the Han seem to be the lowest, but in fact, the most oppressed and despised are the Qianhu.
Otherwise, the Xionghu would not have established his own regime in order to oppose the Xiongnu.
Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought, now that the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms have such a trend, it seems that even if he became emperor a year earlier, Liu Yuan still failed to control the situation.
She curled the corners of her mouth, Qianhu has always been a slave of the Xiongnu, the Han people are miserable, and their treatment is actually worse than that of the Han people.
The Xiongnu people looked down on the Han people, but they would learn the culture of the Han people, and they knew in their hearts that the good of the Han culture was an attitude of inferiority and despisy for the Han people;
As for the caravan, it is pride and contempt from the bottom of my heart.
However, is the Xionghu worse than the Xiongnu?
There is no nation worse than any other nation, they all have their own national characteristics in their blood, will the Qianhu always bow their heads and admit slaughter?
It's just that the time has not yet come.
Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and pondered, his heart turned a thousand times, and he quickly made up his mind and asked: "Li's Wubao has already raised grain and grass for you, why do you want to kill them all?" ”
Cheng Dadao: "I can't wait to do what I am told. ”
He said: "The general asked us to raise grain and grass, and we raised grain and grass, and he asked us to capture the people, break the dock fort, and plunder the property, and we could only obey." ”
Zhao Hanzhang didn't know how much he believed, and asked, "Where is the looted property?" ”
Cheng Da pointed to the middle tent, which was the tent that the master general ran out of just now, and the things in it had already been scraped by Zhao Hanzhang, she retracted her gaze, "Is there nothing?" ”
Cheng Da shook his head, "The people here are very poor, and there is still some money in Li's Dock Fort, but it is not much, and everything that can be robbed has been robbed." ”
Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Is there still a population at home?" ”
Cheng Da was taken aback and asked Zhao Hanzhang, "Do you Han people still want to go to our country to arrest our relatives?" This is a war, and it shouldn't affect the family. ”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed deeply and said: "In this war, you and I are just soldiers who were innocently involved, although you killed me Hanmin, I am willing to give you a chance to live." ”
Cheng Da was not moved, and responded indifferently.
He and his companions have experienced a lot of such things, he surrendered, he was a prisoner, if Zhao Hanzhang thought they were burdensome, it was normal to kill them;
If you think they are usable, they are just slaves of the Xiongnu to slaves of the Han people.
He and his companions changed masters several times, and when this general lost, they followed the new general, and the new general looked down on them, or killed them, or drove them to the front line as a meat shield, and the people around him died one after another, which was a normal thing.
They never had a choice.
So Zhao Hanzhang means not to kill them, but to leave them as slaves?
Cheng Da, who was already numb and thought that one more day would be a day, hesitantly thanked him, "Thank you, General." ”
But I still have doubts in my heart, I don't understand what this has to do with his family?
However, he still replied: "There are also mothers and younger brothers, who have not been home for many years, and I don't know if they are dead." ”
So if you have the ability, go to Han and arrest people, so that he can know if they are still alive.
Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Do you know how to farm?" ”
Cheng Da blinked, even more puzzled, Wei You beside him had already taken the first step and said, "Yes!" I can grow wheat and beans! ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled at them and said: "Then you can stay with me as a soldier, when the time comes, I will divide a few pieces of land with you, and cultivate it when you are not fighting, and when you have money in the future, you can also bring your family over." ”
Cheng Da and the five looked at Zhao Hanzhang in a daze, came back to their senses and hurriedly asked, "Divide our land?" Are we plowing for the generals, or are we ......"
"Just like the soldiers under my rule, you are soldiers, you don't have to pay taxes, and everything that comes out of the fields belongs to your private property."
"Can we have private property?"
Slaves belong to their masters physically and mentally, and even if they have possessions now, they can become dispossessed when they are in need.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Of course, if you have it, it is me, and I can't take your property unreasonably." ”
The five of them were silent, not knowing whether to believe Zhao Hanzhang or not.
But what's the difference between believing it and not believing it? Anyway, they're all captives now.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and their hearts were slightly warm, and when Zhao Hanzhang asked again, they cooperated more, for example, "Qiao Xi is brutal, the reason why he suddenly let us plunder the Han people is because I heard that Wang Mi took advantage of the collection of grain and grass to loot a lot of property, and his eyes were red, so he also asked us to loot the Han people and hand over all the looted property to him." ”
He also said, "Qiao Xi couldn't attack Guancheng for a long time, and he was afraid that the emperor would blame him, so he was planning to dig the Dongfeng Canal and flood Guancheng with water." ”
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded slightly, leaned forward slightly, and looked at them seriously, "Are you going to dig it?" ”
"It's not easy to dig," Wei You said: "We were ordered to dig a little hole, and now it's almost winter, and the river is scarce, and it is difficult to flood the entire Guancheng if it is dug up, but the fertile fields under it should be washed away." ”
------Off topic------
I forgot what I was going to say to you, but I always felt like I had something I wanted to say to you last night, but I didn't write it down at the time, and I forgot it one night.
Alas, I can only see when I remember it in the future
See you tomorrow
