Chapter 105: The Battle of Culture and Faith

"Your Majesty, this is what the minister got from his trip to the north, please take a look at it!"

Just when Liu Wei was about to find a step by himself, Jia Xu presented a sheet with both hands and found a step for Liu Bian.

"Bring it in." Liu Wei said.

At this time, looking at this old boy again, it is finally a little more pleasing to the eye.

If this old boy is completely uninteresting and puts him, the emperor, here, then he will have to consider whether the so-called ingenuity is true or false. A smart person who can't be a human being is not a really smart person.

Zhao Ye took the watch and handed it to Liu Wei with a humble attitude.

"The boundary monument has moved a full three hundred miles north?" As soon as Liu Wei saw the beginning, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Exactly." Jia Xu said: "The minister bought a large number of iron pots from the capital, and went to the grassland to sell them as a caravan, and most of the people were still very happy to exchange a hundred sheep for a pot, but some tribesmen were more temperamental, not only did they not agree, but also wanted to forcibly snatch the pot in the hands of the minister, so the minister had to secretly let people inform General Gai Xun, and then destroy them all." ”

"After exterminating three or four tribes, the business behind it was very smooth, and when the minister promised to graze on my Han grassland, some people were even willing to buy a pot in the hands of the minister at the cost of a thousand cattle and sheep."

Unconsciously, the minister walked a little farther, and after burying the boundary monument for three hundred miles north, he hurriedly turned back. The minister is worried that if he goes any further, it will be more difficult for my Han army to manage. ”

Liu Wei was silent, this forced calculation made him pretend.

Buy a pot on the grassland, I'm afraid it's not a pot, but a fist.

"Three hundred miles to the north, it should be bordering the Northern Huns, right?" Liu Wei recalled the map and asked.

Jia Xu bowed his head slightly, "Back to Your Majesty, it's almost, there are about two three hundred miles left, and we will reach the territory of the Northern Xiongnu." ”

Liu Wei continued to look at the watch, "Niu Yang, you have done a very good job, more than double what I expected, but what's going on with this war horse?" Ordinary tribes shouldn't have five or six thousand war horses, right? ”

"General Chan and General Gaixun attacked a slightly larger tribe." Jia Xu followed the emperor's words and said very implicitly, "These tribes scattered on the northern grasslands, in fact, it is difficult for the ministers to accurately distinguish which of them are Xianbei, which are Xiongnu, and which are Qianghu. ”

But he knew that they were like a flock of sheep driven by them, and among them was a sheep and a shepherd. The shepherd's job will be easier only if the head of the sheep is obedient, or if the head of the sheep that does not obey the command is slaughtered and the head is replaced. ”

And the head sheep that the minister met was very disobedient to discipline. Not only did he want to snatch the pot from the hands of the ministers, but he also had to dedicate the heads of the ministers to their lords. Faced with such an unruly head sheep, the minister could only exterminate their tribe from the roots, and pass on the leader's head to the other lambs. ”

Although what Jia Xu said was crepe, it seemed to be quite light and light.

But whether it was Liu Wei or the others here, they all heard that this was a big battle.

In a war where five or six thousand horses can be captured, the number of beheadings will never be lower than that.

This relatively large tribe in Jia Xu's mouth is very likely to be one of the backbone tribes of the Kebineng forces.

"In such a big battle, Kebineng will definitely not be completely inactive, and it is not a good thing for the court to start a war on several sides!" Chen Lin said.

Jia Xu chuckled and said: "Kebi can think of it and is not willing to start a war on several sides at this time, the Budugen who wandered in Bingzhou was pressing step by step, and General Gaixun slowly walked north with the boundary monument on his back, and the brawl between the two people became a group fight of three people. ”

"After becoming three people, the minister thinks that the north may be more stable."

"The imperial court's troops in the north are the elite of the left and right Yulin Army, and these soldiers and horses have just been spoiled by the imperial court, and they have fought two battles on the grassland, and the hardness has risen."

"On the grassland, fights between tribes for no reason seem to be commonplace, and General Gai Xun is a very virtuous and respected person, after he came forward, the tribes in my Han territory can always sit down with harmony and discuss."

"Perhaps because of General Gai Xun's personal charm, they are very willing to contribute the warriors of the tribe to the Han court. Therefore, within the northern boundary monument, the real available soldiers of our Han Dynasty are nearly 30,000, which is already a force that no one can underestimate. ”

Jia Xu's words made Liu Wei finally know his nickname of "poisoner" and how he came to be.

If this matter was really as simple as he said, the north would not have been a big problem for the Central Plains Imperial Court.

Behind these simple words, there is a conspiracy of strings.

"Is it really just because of General Gaixun's high morality?" Chen Lin asked.

Listening to Jia Xu's words, he always had a sense of fantasy and listening to a story.

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Xia Guan has used a little trick that can't be put on the table. In fact, a wild and untamable nation will always respect the strong, and this alone is actually enough. ”

"Those little tricks of mine are nothing compared to General Gaixun's high morality."

Liu Wei glanced at Chen Lin, who was still about to break the casserole and ask to the end, and said: "Jia Xu opened up the territory for the imperial court and won such a huge credit, a reward of thousands of gold, a good horse, and a hundred silk horses. For the time being, there is no need to return to the Northland. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jia Xu shouted prostrately.

Liu Wei's sentence, like a full stop, brought this matter to an end.

He didn't care what kind of means Jia Xu used in the north, he only cared about the result.

If a person is not ruthless, his position is unstable.

Not to mention in such troubled times.

On the continuous border in the north, there has been no peace in the past 400 years.

First the Huns, then Xianbei, has always made the people miserable.

Chen Lin and the others saw that the emperor didn't care about what was happening on the grassland in the north, and they all fell silent.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are courageous, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to open a Xuan order in the northern land to educate the nomadic children." Jia Xu spoke again.

Before Liu Wei's mind turned around, Chen Lin took the first step and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" How can I teach the children of a different race? Even if they are submissive and obedient on the surface, they are still alien in their bones. ”

"In the future, as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely betray the court and return to their own people."

Liu Wei looked at the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, who had rarely spoken on the matter of Jia Xu, "You two, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Xun Yu got up and said: "Your Majesty, the broom cherishes itself and is not a great country's bearing, I think these nomadic children should all be protons of various tribes, right?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "The minister thinks that in my Han territory, all school-age children should receive education, just like the Hongdu Gate outside the Hongdu Gate, no matter what you learn, you should always be good at learning." They are not protons, but children who have reached the age of learning my Han culture, regardless of whether they are of high blood or low blood, they are all treated equally. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color.

This is to teach the children of the tour guide to learn, which is clearly to capture the children of various nomadic tribes as hostages.

"Jia Wenhe, what you did is hurtful!" Xun You shouted.

Jia Xu said indifferently: "Xiaguan thinks this is a good thing. ”

"Your Majesty, this wind cannot rise, please think twice!" Xun You bowed down deeply and said in a loud voice.

Liu Wei is indeed thinking about this matter at the moment.

He didn't like the politics of Huairou in the first place, and when the national strength could support it, hard energy and fists were the real confidence.

"What do you think will happen if you let these children of different races learn the culture of my Central Plains Dynasty?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You's face was a little blue, Jia Xu's methods were too dark, and the emperor seemed to have moved.

"Your Majesty, this move is tantamount to raising Gu." "We don't take the initiative to teach, they all learn on the sly," he said. If we teach in the open, they will become our fierce enemies when they are finished. ”

"It must be rare to become an important minister of my Han Dynasty like Jin Riyan and be loyal."

Liu Wei said: "In my opinion, such a result can only be taught inadequately. ”

"Have you ever heard of a word called cultural invasion?"

All the ministers were at a loss, even Jia Xu, who proposed this plan, was also thoughtful.

Liu Wei got up and moved his legs, which were a little sore, and the kneeling posture was really not suitable for him.

After pacing a few steps, Liu Wei said: "Breaking off their beliefs, destroying their foundations, replacing their simple and rough culture with our culture, and making it truly become the people of our Han Dynasty, this is a cultural invasion." ”

"The boundary monument is buried there, not just there, we need to bury the boundary monument in the hearts of those children. Everyone has their own ideals and pursuits in life, and so do those children, and we can help them achieve them. ”

"Even if it's the worst, we can help them become better shepherds."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, the hall was instantly quiet and terrifying.

He was terrified when he thought about it.

Jia Xu looked at this young emperor with a stunned face, and there was still a little childishness on his face.

Is this really what a teenager can say?

How can it be more yin than him?!

"Cultural invasion, destroy their beliefs, and cut off their ......foundations," Jia Xu muttered, shaking his head, "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to say, but if you want to do it, it is as difficult as reaching the sky." ”

How to extinguish the faith of a race is almost impossible.

When Liu Wei heard this, he smiled contemptuously, "Are the culture and beliefs of the Xianbei people very complicated? Reverence for heaven and fire, reverence for the strong? ”

"Trampling on their culture and beliefs, giving them a better one, and when they themselves start to dislike themselves, they basically succeed. No matter what their lives were like, we want to make them feel that they once lived in darkness and dirt, and we are their light and hope! ”

"The history of Xianbei people can't write the thickness of this table, and all of them are different, such a messy and simple history, what kind of culture and beliefs do you think can be bred?"

The ministers stared at the small ones again, shocked and confused.

The Emperor's words were so vicious that they were simply horrified.

Compared with the emperor, Jia Xu is simply synonymous with kindness, and he is too subtle.

"Your Majesty, do this...... Does it seem that the court is too violent? There is a hurt day. Xun You said hesitantly in his heart, he couldn't bear to make a fuss about a group of teenagers and dig the foundation of the Xianbei people.

Liu Wei's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, this is war!" ”

"The northern border of our Han Dynasty has lasted for 400 years, but it has always been unstable, and now we still have to repair the Great Wall to ward off foreign enemies."

"In the past four hundred years, how many of my people have died under the iron hooves of nomads? Wars are frequent, but what is the result? What it was like 400 years ago, and what it is still today. The Huns are gone, Xianbei is coming, is there any difference? ”

"The war of real swords and guns is a war on the surface, and the war of cultural beliefs is an invisible war!"

Jia Xu was the first to be convinced.

He himself is an unscrupulous person, and not only did he not have the slightest resistance to the emperor's words.

It's all admiration.

It was the first time he had admired the rumored tyrannical emperor.

He thought that he had come up with such a way to clamp down on the newly surrendered nomadic tribe, and it was already very good.

didn't expect the emperor to let him see the gap as soon as he opened his mouth.

The battle of culture and faith, this is also a new word for him.

"Your Majesty, please order the compilation of books to teach the guide to shepherd the children." Xun You said suddenly.

Liu Wei smiled, "I thought you would persuade me to be kind." ”

"Your Majesty, this is indeed war." Xun Youyi said solemnly, "What's more, the court didn't slaughter them, but gave them a better choice, and the minister thought it was a good thing." ”
