In the edict replying to Rinan County, Liu Bei specifically mentioned that the southern territory of Rinan County has a bronze pillar left by Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo.

Liu Bei suggested that the bronze pillar should be moved to the south, where the copper pillar is, where is the extreme realm of the Han Dynasty, and the infinite realm of the Han Xinjiang should not be limited to a certain place, it should be flexible.

In this way, I would be very pleased to think that General Fubo would have a spirit in the sky.

After getting Liu Bei's approval, Fa Zheng happily set up another county south of Xianglin County, respecting Liu Bei's suggestion, and named the county Wuji County, which means [Hanjiang Wuji Realm].

Subsequently, Fa Zheng went to Luoyang again, hoping to move the county seat of Rinan County to Xianglin County and further south to show the imperial court's support for pioneering and enterprising.

In early November, Liu Bei approved Fa Zheng's recital.

Permit.

No one expected that since Liu Bei's accession to the throne, the first action of the Han Dynasty to expand its territory was not initiated by the army by military means, but by a group of county soldiers and civilian armed forces launched by a group of county soldiers and civilian armed forces on the grounds of capturing prisoners of war and selling them as slaves.

Everyone didn't expect that the wild people and natives who were so annoying to death and worried that they were very worried would actually become fragrant and sweet in this situation.

The worries that constantly eroded the Han territory and threatened the southern frontiers of the Han Empire became an important resource that the large households with tens of thousands of acres of land that moved south to Jiaozhou desperately desired.

How many people have made a fortune by selling these resources.

Under such stimulation, more and more red-eyed people organized professional and sharp slave hunting teams to report to the government, and the government also supported the existence of such slave hunting teams, allowing them to establish, allowing them to work with certificates, and carrying out slave hunting operations under the supervision of the county national soldiers.

The government collects 30% of the income they receive, and the rest is divided according to the capitation, which is fair and clear under the supervision of the government, and no one owes anyone.

In this way, the government can get money, and at the request of the imperial court, the construction of collective farms can be carried out to improve the political achievements, and the slave hunters can also get money, increase their own assets and savings, and develop their own real estate.

A strange virtuous circle began to take shape.

And the only ones who are injured in this cycle are those fierce natives and savages.

Beginning in September of the second year of Zhenguan, the Han people in Nanhai County, Hepu County, Yulin County, Jiaozhi County, Cangwu County and other places organized their own slave hunting teams.

The natives and savages of each county began to face extremely severe survival tests, and their original survival logic was no longer applicable under the new survival situation.

The new rules of the Han Empire produced a new logic of survival, and in this logical environment, the survival position of the natives and savages was very awkward.

They are no longer the troublesome existence of no value but loss, but the means of production.

The more the natives in control, the more means of production, the more means of production, the more wealth produced, this simple one-way logical problem was quickly figured out, so the attitude of Jiaozhou people towards the natives changed drastically in a short period of time.

The actual governance of these natives is a new problem that their masters need to face, because although the imperial court does not care about the life and death of these natives, it cannot allow these natives to rebel and endanger everyone's safety.

However, this problem cannot really be said to be an intractable problem.

Because it is profitable, people's creativity is unlimited, and in a short period of time, people in various regions of Jiaozhou have a lot of ideas on how to manage the native people as slaves, and have a fierce exchange.

Everyone has their own ideas, and each village has its own tricks.

What ropes, what iron cables, what hunger, what three-year shelf life, what four-year shelf life, what division of men and women, and even internal differentiation, agent management, and so on all kinds of tricks were born in Jiaozhou during this period.

Under the brainstorming, the inspiration for the management of the natives can not even be regarded as a collision of sparks, that is called a volcanic eruption, even if it is a person without an official body, at this moment, he spontaneously stands in the perspective of a ruler, showing his endless creativity.

Fa Zheng personally participated in an internal opinion meeting on the management of the Turen, and after the adjournment, Fa Zheng couldn't help but sigh, he felt that his governance rules were already relatively strict, and he strictly abided by the "Han Law" and was meticulous in his efforts to officials and civilians.

But compared with this group of guys, he found that both himself and "Han Law" were a bit too ideal.

Therefore, Jiaozhou during this period can really be described as a time when similar people are shining.

Compared with the demand for native slaves from major families, dynamic social groups, and small families, the imperial court actually needs a lot of labor.

At the same time that Liu Bei allowed remote prefectures and counties to use native slaves to speed up the development process in the Dutian Decree, people in relatively developed areas also had many ideas.

Si Lizhou assassin Shi Cao Cao led more than a dozen officials to Liu Bei, thinking that this matter was very important.

Like what Liu Bei did during the Second Empire, since it was politically incorrect to use Han slaves as coolies at this stage, and the conscription of civil servants could not be used for nothing, and money was required, and things such as food and working hours had to be prepared and limited working hours were very expensive, so in order to reduce the expenses of the imperial court, the imperial court should also carry out large-scale and organized slave hunting operations.

Although it is said that the development of Jiaozhou is a national policy, it cannot be said that all the benefits are occupied by Jiaozhou, although our Central Plains is a land of ointment, but it cannot be said that it is necessary to give Jiaozhou unlimited profits, so that Jiaozhou can occupy the right time, place and people, right?

We're going to have to have some good, right?

Of the more than 1 million prisoners of war from the grasslands that Liu Bei captured and used at the beginning, about one-third of the school-age women were incorporated into the household registration in remote areas and became Han Chinese, and some men with special skills were incorporated into the household registration and also broke away from the slave status.

It means that only more than 500,000 but less than 600,000 grassland prisoners of war became official slaves of the Han Empire and were used by the Han Empire.

Over the years, 90 percent of the slave quota has been used up in the construction of Liangzhou, the construction of the state, and the construction of Youzhou, and only about 10 percent of the land left in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the cost of using people and spending logistics in the Central Plains is far higher than the cost of remote areas, which leads to great financial pressure on the local government in the Central Plains.

Especially at present, the Central Plains needs to reorganize collective farms on a large scale, standardize taxes, and the amount of money that needs to be spent is an astronomical amount, and many places have even begun to ask the imperial court for transfer payments.

In this context, isn't it a matter of course for the Central Plains to open up the use of native slaves, even if only to the government?

This will also reduce the financial pressure on the imperial court.

"Now the imperial court can capture a large number of native slaves and train them, and then invest them in the Central Plains, to meet the large-scale construction of collective farms and the large-scale needs of water conservancy projects, which should have a good effect, and more importantly, can save national funds.

You also said that money is now used all over the country, everywhere is a place where money is used, not only the treasury, but also the Shaofu is spending a lot of money, although the imperial court is financially rich, but it is not unlimited, you can save a little is a little, what do you think? ”

After Cao Cao's recital was handed over, Liu Bei summoned Cao Cao and discussed the matter with him in private.

But that's not all.

"The affairs of Jiaozhou have been known to other local officials, and local officials also have their own ideas, and they will also think that Jiaozhou can do something, why can't they do it? Even if there is no welfare in the land policy, the natives will not be arrested?

In all the states of the world, not only Jiaozhou has natives, but there are also natives in many other places who do not obey the control. Does it make sense? If the imperial court keeps suppressing it, the local states and counties will have a lot of opinions. ”

Cao Cao's words were very level, and Liu Bei paid attention to them, so Liu Bei convened the officials to discuss the matter, and soon reached a consensus.

Cao Cao's words were very level, and Liu Bei paid attention to them, so Liu Bei convened the officials to discuss the matter, and soon reached a consensus.

OK.

Jiaozhou can enjoy a lot of preferential policies, but the states of the Central Plains should not simply become a big grievance, and should also get some preferential policies.

Therefore, Liu Bei opened up the right to use the local officials and slaves in the Central Plains, and stipulated that the government could organize people to go to the land south of the Yangtze River to capture the natives and bring them back to the Central Plains as slaves.

However, the number of people who set off and the number of people brought back need to be reported to the imperial court for approval, and if there is a large number gap, they must also accept the allocation of the imperial court, and they must not be privately distributed and used, and the officials and slaves are not allowed to trade, and they are caught for their own use.

Therefore, starting from November of the second year of Zhenguan, the major states and counties in the Central Plains began to comply with the needs of the imperial court, and began to form their own slave hunting teams based on the county soldiers, and went south to Jiaozhou by boat, and carried out slave hunting operations in various parts of Jiaozhou, trying to catch more slaves and bring them back for use.

For this matter, the officials in Jiaozhou were not very happy, thinking that the Central Plains people had come to compete with them for slaves.

So one after another to the imperial court, please understand their difficulties, the place is bitter cold, barren, there is nothing that can be taken out, only slaves can be taken, and now these Central Plains lords still have to come to rob, is it too bullying?

After Liu Bei learned the thoughts of the counties in Jiaozhou, he couldn't cry or laugh, and replied to the counties in Jiaozhou one after another, reprimanding them.

You have taken such a big advantage from the imperial court, taken so many benefits, and all kinds of policies are tilted towards you like money, are you still not satisfied?

Liu Bei seriously criticized these officials from all over Jiaozhou, severely reprimanded them, and demanded that they not restrict the slave hunting teams of the Central Plains officials, and then also demanded that if they captured all the local natives, they should seek more natives from further south, and should have the courage to go to sea to capture the natives they need.

All in all, the natives in Jiaozhou are not the wealth of the local state and county, but the wealth of the entire Han Dynasty, and any behavior that seeks to engage in local protectionism will be severely punished here in the Luoyang court, and if they do not repent, the punishment will only be more serious.

After the county governments of Jiaozhou and the state capital of Jiaozhou were reprimanded by Liu Bei, similar protests disappeared.

Without support from the central government, they could only find their own way, and could not restrict their opponents, so they could only enhance their hunting ability, and mobilize all kinds of capable people in the county to organize stronger and more professional slave hunting teams to carry out slave hunting operations with all their might.

As a result, the "heroes" of various counties in Jiaozhou have appeared on the stage of their own history.

To say that the natives living in Jiaozhou are also unlucky.

Hundreds of years of good life have passed, and suddenly the situation has changed, and those Han people who were afraid to avoid them suddenly became enthusiastic about "pursuing" them.

That's the "pursuit" of the Eight Classics, the pursuit in the real sense, in all senses, it is quite passionate, but this enthusiasm sometimes seems too fanatical, so it will cause some physical damage to them.

At first, the Turen settlements were not impressed, thinking that it was just some phased small-scale actions of the Han people, but soon, some Turen settlements that had originally had dealings with the Han people learned the real situation, and learned that this wave of actions of the Han people did not seem to be a phased small-scale action, but a ......

Large-scale and sustained action.

The policy on the side of the Han people has changed, and they will be arrested and tamed, and then sold for money, sold to those who need it, and put into the land to carry out land reclamation operations, and work until death, without any hope of turning over.

This is not only the meaning of the Luoyang court, but also the meaning of the Han people.

The Han people reached a unified understanding from the court to the people as never before, recognizing the significance of these natives as property rather than negative assets, and as a result, the Han people in the entire Jiaozhou and even the Central Plains were agitated.

As a result, some of the more prescient and more civilized native leaders panicked, thought about it, and felt that only run was the only way, so they led their tribesmen to run to more remote and primitive places.

However, some local leaders disagreed, thinking that the Han people had been fighting with them for hundreds of years and were no opponents, and now they naturally couldn't do anything to them.

If the Han people came to attack on a large scale, they would unite to fight back against the Han people and fight to the death against the Han people.

But it turned out that they were still too young to understand how the actions of the court and the people of the Han Empire were different from the past, and they mistakenly applied the experience of the past to the present, completely unaware that this time the actions were a little similar to the behavior of the market.

This is market behavior!

So, at the same time that the natives reached a joint will, from the end of the second year of Zhenguan to the beginning of the third year of Zhenguan, two or three months, when Jiaozhou was a little cooler, the joint slave hunting teams from the counties of the Central Plains and the local slave hunting teams from the counties of Jiaozhou took action one after another.

Just as they were engaged in an arms race, the two sides rushed to launch a devastating battle against the local natives with extremely high enthusiasm, a strong will to fight, and a sense of never wanting to be the first to fall behind.

Circumstances could not stop them, and the plague could not dampen their desires.

With quite sophisticated weapons and equipment, as well as armor and crossbows that were allowed to be used by the government, they launched a strong attack on the natives with a strong desire to move forward under the organization and leadership of professional county soldiers, and a large number of slave hunters invaded the traditional natives, without any fear.

In response, the natives also organized a very large number of joint resistance teams to resist and fight back strongly against the Han slave hunters, and launched round after round of battles with them in the dense forest, resolutely defending their right to survival and living space.

They don't have good smelting ability and equipment ability, so they can only wear simple protective gear, hold a variety of polished weapons, and engage in fierce battles with the slave hunters, and courage is their most powerful weapon.

But it turns out that courage is not decisive at some point.

At first, the slave hunters in each county were somewhat unaccustomed to the local combat environment and combat methods, but after an adaptation period of about a month, they became accustomed to the local combat environment and combat methods, and they almost saw and understood the local people with inferior equipment and only a relatively loud voice.

This is just a bunch of wild men who are strong on the outside, and if they are conquered with weapons and frightened with blood, they will become cowardly, and they will not dare to put up even the most basic resistance.

At the beginning, the Turk Coalition Army dared to fight a strong battle with the slave hunter team, even if many people died in the battle, they dared to continue fighting, causing a certain amount of trouble and damage to the slave hunter team, but even at the beginning, even if the Native Coalition Army could achieve a certain victory, it was accompanied by a super high casualty ratio.

They had to pay more than five casualties in exchange for one person in the slave hunting team, and the contrast was quite stark.

With the passage of time, as the Han slave hunters gradually became accustomed and professionalized, the resistance of the Turen United Army became less and less strong, more and more weak, and more and more unable to continue to compete with the slave hunting teams.

In the face of the strong attack of the slave hunting team, from the first month of the third year of Zhenguan, the Turen United Army began to retreat step by step, and was unable to confront it head-on.

Their last large-scale joint rebellion took place on the first day of the first month of the third year of Zhenguan, when Liu Bei held a regular New Year's meeting in Luoyang to celebrate the New Year with officials.

On that day, the natives of Hepu County, Nanhai County, and Yulin County organized a team of more than 20,000 people to fight to the death against the Han slave hunting team.

The natives of Hepu County had the largest number, more than 10,000 people, and the natives of Nanhai County and Yulin County also organized more than 5,000 people each, and launched fierce battles with the slave hunters who entered each county, and took the initiative to attack the camp of the slave hunters.

As a result, more than 1,000 natives of Hepo County were burned to death by fierce oil cans, and the rest were all scattered, and more than 8,000 people were captured after the First World War, and they were basically annihilated.

The situation in Yulin County and Nanhai County was similar, their main forces were killed by the slave hunting team, and the whole army was wiped out.

The revolt of the natives is over.
