Chapter 189: Carrots and Sticks
He Qiu's regulations are also relatively strict, almost copying the seventeen prohibitions in the army, but there are not so many beheading regulations.
In order to forcibly transform those who are stubborn!
Those who are at the bottom of the original Mongolian ladder, they don't care about face, Mongolian traditions, etc., they can eat enough and make money, as long as they can.
Therefore, he acted according to He Qiu's orders very regularly, let them take a bath, let them cut their hair and cut their nails, and did it, including learning the poetry and songs of the Han people.
Like those small Mongolian nobles who stir up trouble, then use these seventeen prohibitions to intimidate, and then kill chickens and monkeys when necessary, with carrots in one hand and a big stick in the other, He Qiu will take it to death.
At this time, Zhu Di and Lan Yu, who had been watching from the sidelines, somewhat understood that He Qiu was forcibly transforming the living habits of the Mongols and forcing them to move closer to the Han people.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols forced the Han people in the Central Plains to do things according to Mongolian customs, which is also the same thing.
In the evening, He Qiu did not let them stop, and gathered all these Mongols in the school grounds, and several large bonfires were lit on the side, and He Qiu sent people to preach the sins of the Mongols.
After counting the deep suffering they brought to the people of the north by detaining and invading, going to Daming to burn and loot, He Qiu didn't care whether they understood it or not, whether they were rebellious or not.
After the transformation of these nearly 200,000 Mongolians, there will always be a few strong seeds, but He Qiu doesn't care, as long as most people are instilled with such a concept, it will be much easier to transform in the future.
To put it bluntly, it is to instill a set of Mongol theory of original sin, believe it or not is their own business, but if they believe it, it is possible to consciously transform themselves, and they can also drive the transformation of the people around them.
No matter how you look at it, it is a sure deal, and He Qiu is certainly willing to do it.
After accompanying He Qiu for a few days, Zhu Di and the others also had doubts.
"Is this going to work for you? Can they really become Han Chinese? ”
He Qiu glanced at them and said.
"Of course it can't be, it is not excluded that some people will be assimilated faster, but most Mongolians want to really transform into Han Chinese, I am afraid it depends on their next generation."
"What I'm doing now is just to make them realize that the Han people's way of life is more advanced than theirs, and their culture is also more advanced than theirs."
"If I put it in the previous time when the army did not win, I said this, it was just to arouse the greed in their hearts, but now, they have been defeated again and again, and the army is on the side, they can only study hard and move closer to the standards of the Han people."
Huang Zicheng said with a little joy, touching a few strands of beard on his chin.
"If Yidi enters China, then China will be. This method is very good, and it is deeply in line with the meaning of the sages. ”
Fang Xiaoru was on the side, still not convinced, and said with a cold face.
"I think your plan, isn't it also going to spend a lot of money to buy people's hearts? What's better than my plan? ”
He Qiu said with contempt in his heart, he was really a dead duck with a hard mouth, but he didn't bother to fight with Fang Xiaoru for anything, so he directly led them to the construction site and let Fang Xiaoru see it for himself.
The construction site several miles outside the barracks has always been very lively, with people coming and going, including these Mongolians who have surrendered, and the Ming people who want to come to work and subsidize their families.
Now that the land has been harvested, many people are idle, and they have time to work.
When Fang Xiaoru arrived at the construction site, his first reaction was that he was immoral.
Because there are still many healthy women working here on the construction site, and some of them are doing the same hard work as the men, carrying a basket of gravel on their backs and walking to the place where the cement is.
But soon, his attention was not on such a trivial matter, Fang Xiaoru stared at the people on the construction site, his eyes were almost sour, but he was stunned and didn't find out which were the surrendered Mongols.
The Mongols working here have basically integrated with the Han Chinese, and if you don't distinguish them carefully, you really can't see it.
When an ethnic group speaks Chinese with Han Chinese and has the same living habits, it is really difficult to tell whether they are members of the original ethnic group or not.
If it is very easy to do in modern times, everyone will recognize nationality and ID card, but in ancient times, it was not so easy.
In the end, He Qiu pointed out to Fang Xiaoru, "This is a Mongolian, and this is still a squad leader......
Fang Xiaoru looked at the squad leader He Qiu said, and he also had some impressions, it was the little Mongolian nobleman who wanted to make trouble at the beginning.
But now, working here honestly, when he saw this little nobleman overjoyed to go to the camp to receive the money, Fang Xiaoru was finally convinced.
This thing is indeed better than his, Fang Xiaoru was a little gloomy in his heart.
He Qiuzhi didn't think about it so much, but talked about something else with Zhu Di and others with great interest.
For example, when the captives came back, He Qiu arranged them on the construction site to clean up, help wash clothes, and do some light chores.
Only those young and strong people will let them do manual work, but He Qiu didn't use them to death, this is a model project that He Qiu plans to do, but he can't exhaust them to death so easily.
He Qiu also pointed out that they would be in their own people in the future, and they would make a big announcement and bring people over to work together.
He Qiu also told Zhu Di and them, don't look at the current group of people who are honest, in fact, when they first came to the construction site, there were many people who wanted to make trouble.
The most important thing is that the original group of small aristocrats, they often eat some beef and mutton, but on this construction site, they are full of tubes, few beef and mutton are eaten, and they really can't help it every day.
But after the leader was killed by He Qiu, the atmosphere quickly changed, after all, He Qiu was not used to them, and under such power, they also knew what to do.
The law of the jungle has prevailed in the steppe for thousands of years, and this group of Mongolians is not used to it, and it is normal to bow their heads.
Lan Yu smiled and complained.
"Liangxianghou, what do you call transformation, it's just that you have pulled a group of people to do labor, and this group of Mongolians is only forced by the situation now, and they are under the roof, so they have to bow their heads."
He Qiu smiled.
"Yongchanghou is a person who understands, but when they bow their heads for a long time, and they have been living in Han Land, it is not so easy to raise their heads again."
He Qiu said smugly.
"According to the report of the person I arranged here, during this time, the efficiency of this group of Mongolians has been improved, and they are doing more and more work, which is a good phenomenon."
Zhu Di also nodded, it is indeed a good phenomenon, at least it shows that these Mongols no longer reject the Han people and know how to obey orders.
Zhu Di considered it from a military point of view, and also felt that this group of Mongols would probably be a good source of soldiers, many young and strong, with good physique and a certain degree of discipline.
With a little training, these people will become an elite army, but Zhu Di didn't dare to say this, it was too taboo, if there were only him and He Qiu on the side, it didn't matter, but there were Lan Yu and others, then they could only be buried in their hearts.
