Time unconsciously came to February of the third year of Xiping. The cold and windy desert of the North is gradually waking up from the cold winter.

The nomadic tribes, who had suffered for half a year, began to select good seedlings in the livestock pens that were reserved for breeding horses, cattle, and sheep this year, while the rest of the horses, cattle and sheep were ready to be sold to officials sent by the government to purchase livestock in exchange for food, medicine, cloth, and some other items needed by the nomadic tribes.

Since the government sent people to buy livestock, it means that these nomadic tribes belong to the people of the Han and Jin kingdoms and are protected by the Dingyuan army and the Flying Tiger army. These scattered tribes also joined the Yansheng tribe at the latest a year ago, or joined the Yaoxing or Huangxuan tribes, otherwise they would have been captured as aliens by the Flying Tiger Army wandering in the north, and escorted to the coal mines in the north of the Jin State to become forced laborers, and endure at least five years of labor before they could return to their free and legal status.

Although such a national policy seems to be a bit overbearing and unreasonable, the people of the Jin State are also salute first and then soldiers, and they are not ruthless as soon as they come up. For example, after the Flying Tiger Army surrounded the scattered Xianbei people, Qiang people, Hu people, Wuhuan people, and Huns, they would ask these tribes to come up with relevant tokens to prove that they belonged to legitimate tribes.

If such a small tribe happens to have joined the three clans of Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng, and Yao Xing, who can enjoy the treatment of citizens of the Jin Kingdom, then they will be well taken care of by the Flying Tiger Army. The Flying Tigers patrol the north all year round and clear the remnants of the Xianbei forces, sometimes needing to supply grain, grass and horses, and when they encounter such a small tribe, it is their chance to make a fortune.

According to the order of the Supreme Command of the Protector Army, all nomadic tribes belonging to the Jin State must not be violated in any form, and when it is necessary to solicit materials and war horses, they must be compensated according to the standard of 30% higher than the market price.

Although Lu Bu, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, didn't care about compensating for this kind of thing that had nothing to do with the happy fight, he still couldn't stand his son-in-law Guan Ping, who was a military division, and compared himself with himself, so he had to let go of the compensation and let Guan Ping and Hu Feiya, the two young generals, implement it.

Guan Ping, who received strict and systematic training in the Crouching Tiger Junior Class and Jiangwutang, is very supportive of the ethnic integration strategy that Zhao Xing has always advocated, so he has always done a good job in implementing the compensation system. It is precisely because Guan Ping meticulously implemented the compensation system for the military requisition of civilian materials that for more than a year, although the Flying Tiger Army has been rampant in the north and made chickens and dogs restless, there has not been that tribe to complain to the Supreme Command of the Protector Army.

Even the Flying Tiger Army, which is lone outside, is still like this, which shows that Zhao Xing's orders have always been well implemented and implemented in all armies.

The nomads who joined the Jin Kingdom were protected and given preferential treatment, so those who did not join would naturally be strictly controlled or even encircled. Since Bu Dugen, the leader of the Xianbei people in western Liaoning, was ambushed and killed by Huang Xuanshi of the Dingyuan Army on the bank of the Lightning River, the Xianbei people have been killed by the Jin army after three leaders, perhaps this indicates that the Xianbei nation is completely on the road to extinction.

Not only the Xianbei people, but also the nomadic people of Liaodong, the major Qiang tribes in Liangzhou, and even all the foreign ethnic groups who like to rebel and rebel in the future of the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions will be unable to escape the fate of being annexed or expelled by the Jin State. In this matter, Zhao Xing made up his mind from the beginning, and no one could change it.

Some people may say that the predecessor of the newly established Yansheng tribe was not the more than 40,000 Xianbei people who went south with the plague back then? Isn't this still a change of soup but not a change of medicine, and it has not completely exterminated the Xianbei people, so will it not leave a disaster for the future?

People who like to say this have actually come full circle and returned to the starting point of national chauvinism of Han supremacy. Zhao Xing was not a murderer, although he used to use the skulls of Xianbei people to pile up landscapes, but this kind of behavior was only for intruders. Now that the guest and host have changed their positions, it has become that the Han people have gone to the prairie to bully the nomads, so they can no longer pile up the landscape at every turn.

Zhao Xing didn't want to learn from Genghis Khan, so he went all the way to kill all the way, only to kill more than a quarter of the world's population. He was afraid that one day in the future, when he was old, a large number of children who had been left behind in the two lives would not even dare to build a mausoleum for his own Lao Tzu. Zhao Xing, who came through the time, although he was still skeptical about some artificially created religions, he still had a very awe-inspiring attitude towards some rules in the underworld.

God has the virtue of a good life!

Since humans can stand out from the monkeys and become the top of the food chain in this plane, then humans have the ability to solve the problem of eating the race without killing their own kind to compete for food. For nomads who are just accustomed to living on the grasslands, if they have a choice, then they must be willing to find a more relaxed and comfortable way to survive, rather than risk being hunted down by the Han people into the desert and snatch food from the unusually large Han people at the top of the food chain.

And Zhao Xing's appearance is to show them a way to live without blood on horseback and on the edge of a knife. From the first time Zhao Xing named the Huang Xuan clan, he was already trying to do so.

The Han people call themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the ancestor they worship is Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Zhao Xing named Huang Xuan for a foreign nation, which has fully reflected his broad mind and long-term vision. Zhao Xing firmly believes that in the process of human beings gradually evolving from apes to humans, they have gone through the process of landing on all fours to landing on two feet, and everyone's tail has gradually faded because it has not been used for a long time.

Zhao Xing has personally touched it many times, and the tail vertebrae of Myolie Hu, the second lady from the Qianghu people, is the same as himself, and there is no extra section, so he stubbornly believes that all human beings are good and should not be artificially divided into three, six, nine and so on, so Zhao Xing continued to stubbornly named the Xianbei people who took refuge in the arms of the Han people "Yu Xian" Yansheng clan, the word "Yan" means Emperor Yan, and the word "Sheng" sends good wishes.

Then, Zhao Xing changed the name of the Southern Huns and became the "Yaoxing" clan. The word "Yao" means the first of the three emperors of Yao, Shun and Yu, and the word "Xing" is his own unique label.

Then go back to the topic that was a little divergent just now, and take a look at the actual changes that have taken place in the Yansheng clan, which has been given a new title by Zhao Xing.

The first is that their titles and castes have changed completely. If the title of a nation changes, it means that the original nation has died out of history. For example, from the Xiongnu to the Xianbei to the later Turks, Uighurs, Dangxiang, Jin and later Mongols, although these ethnic groups lived in the northern steppes in different historical eras, they were obviously not the same people.

It can be said that every change in the title of a nation has undergone a major evolution, and many unknown things must have happened within the ethnic group, which led to the decline of the nation. From this point of view alone, the change of ethnic titles is very important, especially the Yansheng people, which obviously has a Chinese label.

At the same time as changing the national title, according to Zhao Xing's requirements, the Xianbei people's messy hundreds of large and small surnames will also be slowly abolished, and in the future, if the newly-born babies of these tribes want to be naturalized in the Jin Kingdom, they must use the Han people's hundred family names as surnames. In order to take care of the feelings of the Yansheng people, Zhao Xing allowed them to continue to use the title of the original Xianbei people in the clan while using Chinese character surnames, but they would obviously not be treated well by the people of the Jin Kingdom.

The second is that their living habits and ways of living have changed. The Yansheng people imitated the semi-nomadic, semi-sedentary way of survival of the Huangxuan people, grazing and hunting on the vast grasslands during the season of warm weather and abundant water and grass, and when the water turned into ice in winter, they drove their cattle and sheep to hide in some settled towns that were beginning to take shape, to ensure that they and their livestock would not be killed by the severe cold.

Finally, the form and system of their ethnic governance have changed. The original Xianbei people were scattered and many small tribes were attached to the tents of several large tribes, and now these tribes can no longer attack each other, and they are all unified under the Jin State Government, and then the Yansheng Clan Elders Joint Conference is responsible for the daily management of affairs. In other words, the object of their allegiance is unified to the Jin Kingdom, not to a certain person or a certain force.

The Yansheng people, who have gradually become accustomed to this new way of life, in addition to increasing their sense of identity with the new ethnic group, have also gradually liked this peaceful and peaceful way of living. They now do not have to worry about the ill-intentioned Han traders deliberately lowering the prices of cattle, horses, and skins, and the government has made reasonable inquiries and prices for all animal husbandry productions; they do not have to worry about the Han people deliberately raising the prices of grain, salt, iron pots, medicinal herbs, cloth, and other necessities for life.

In short, the greatest wish of the Yansheng people now is to distribute the horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock in the clan to their own families, raise them fat and strong in the designated grazing area, and sell them to the government when winter comes, and exchange them for more banknotes issued by the Jin State Agricultural and Military Merchants and Gold Banks.

The Yansheng people only want to raise their cattle and horses to be fat and strong within the pastures demarcated by the government, this wish is very simple and simple, and it should be supported and affirmed by all those who are willing to live in friendship and peace. However, when the spring breeze was about to blow the grass green, a fierce cold wind blew from the direction of the North Sea (Lake Baikal), and the breath of death was unabashedly enveloped the steppe.

A heavy snow drifted away for many days, covering the earth so tightly that it seemed to completely cut off the vitality of all life under the snow.

White plague, a word that makes nomads tremble, even if human society continues to the 21st century, there are still reports of grassland peoples suffering from snow disasters from time to time. For such natural disasters, the people living in the northern grasslands have deep memories in their bones, or fear from the heart, so that they are about to lose even the courage to support and face them.

There was a lot of snow in the north, which brought a huge test to Zhao Xing's national integration policy that had just embarked on the right path. The Han people knew very well that after the White Plague, the red-eyed ethnic minorities in the north would cross the Great Wall and plunder fiercely. The reason is simple, the livestock they depend on for survival are frozen to death, and if the tribe wants to survive, it can only rob the food of the Han people.

This time, after the heavy snowfall, will the people of the Jin Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom, and Youzhou inevitably encounter another foreign invasion? And will the integrated Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng, and Yaoxing tribes still obey Zhao Xing's orders and honestly endure starvation and cold, and dare not start a war lightly?
