Chapter 146: The Road to Sinicization

Duan Piyan and Duan Xiu followed Wen Qiao away, which made both the Duan brothers and Wen Qiao very satisfied.

In Wen Qiao's opinion, Liu Tai let the Duan brothers leave with him, which showed some kindness, and with the addition of the Duan Xianbei, he could also balance Tuoba Xianbei.

And for Duan Piyan and Duan Xiu, this incident proves Liu Tai's sincerity, they believe that the two brothers they left behind should be safe, and Liu Tai really has no intention of killing himself and others.

And Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan watched their brother leave smoothly with Liu Kun's people, and finally let go of their thoughts.

Because of Liu Kun's reputation among the Xianbei clan, he is naturally better than Liu Tai, who directly slaughtered thousands of Xianbei cavalry.

However, this also made Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan completely put their minds at ease and began to work for Liu Tai in accordance with their promises.

And the first thing Liu Tai did when he worked was to say to them, "First of all, I need you to form a Xianbei army!" ”

"The general asked us to form a Xianbei army?!" When the two heard Liu Tai's words, they were a little incredulous.

"The number of people will not be too much, only a thousand people, I will not care who you choose, but these Xianbei soldiers must pass the test of the people I sent, they need to take Han surnames, speak Chinese, wear Han clothes, perform Han salutes, and most importantly, memorize the Book of Han!"

"Reciting the Book of Han?!" Hearing the previous words, the faces of these two people were already ugly, but at the end, even Duan Shujun couldn't help jumping up and said, "General, can we Xianbei people really achieve this?!" ”

"But all the soldiers in my army have to go, I just put the requirements of the generals in my army on you Xianbei soldiers, can't you do it!?" Liu Taidao.

However, when Liu Tai said this, he looked at the faces of several people and understood that these were definitely not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.

Liu Tai sighed and said: "Okay, then I will take a step back, and the matter of reciting the "Book of Han" can be put aside for a while, but your whole army must be familiar with the "Book of Han", because there is a lot of content here that needs to be assessed!" ”

"General Xie!" Seeing that Liu Tai was no longer deadlocked, Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan finally expressed their gratitude to Liu Tai.

"Next, you will choose warriors from your people, they are now captives, but if they become soldiers, they will enjoy the same treatment as soldiers, if they get married, even if they are not Han women, I will grant them military land, let them have the land to cultivate!" Liu Tai looked at the two of them.

"What the general said is true!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan couldn't help but marvel.

"As I said, what I want to do is to find a way for the Han people to live in harmony with other races.

Because you Xianbei people have been captured by me in large numbers, you have become experimenters on this path.

Therefore, I must hope that the Xianbei line can be smoothly integrated into China, because if this road is successful, it means that the Han people and the Hu people no longer only have life and death, but have a new choice! ”

Liu Tai came to Dao, looked at the two of them and said, "And to do this, I need your help!" ”

"We are willing to find this third way for the peace of the Hu and Han tribes!" Duan Shujun knelt down and bowed to Liu Taixing.

At this moment, Duan Wenyuan knelt on one knee and put his hand on his chest and heart, expressing his sincerity.

"Get up! I will send the military historian to teach them Hanshu and etiquette, and I hope you can be an example for your tribe! ”

Liu Tai waved his hand, and completely arranged this matter, and then left.

At this moment, Duan Shujun looked at Duan Wenyuan beside him, with more or less excitement in his eyes.

Duan Wenyuan looked at Duan Shujun with a little confusion, "The county prince seems to want to turn us Xianbei people into Han people!" ”

"What's wrong with all our people becoming Han Chinese!" Duan Shujun looked at Duan Wenyuan and said,

"You've eaten everything we've eaten these days, good things that these people don't usually eat.

But here the Han people actually eat the captives, and we do have meat to eat occasionally, but can we let everyone in the tribe have meat to eat?

We can't do it, but the county can do it! ”

When Duan Wenyuan heard Duan Shujun's words, his heart was more or less shaken.

Compared with the beautiful vision that Liu Tai said, at least the food that Liu Tai took out from his hands is real.

What kind of world is it now, it can be said that it is a completely chaotic time, there are wars everywhere, and these Xianbei people have been captured, not to mention that they can eat enough every day, even if they can drink a bowl of porridge every day, the clansmen will not rebel!

But now, feeling Liu Tai's preferential treatment of the captives, especially Liu Tai himself, he defeated the Xianbei cavalry in a dignified manner, but the Xianbei cavalry really did not have the will to resist Liu Tai.

Duan Wenyuan believed that if he told these soldiers at the bottom that he was going to kill Liu Tai, he was afraid that they would kill him first.

After all, they are prisoners, and they can still eat porridge and steamed buns steadily, why should they rebel on such a good day.

And Duan Shujun looked at Duan Wenyuan and said solemnly, "What do you think is the difference between Liu Jungong and Wang Jun?" ”

Duan Wenyuan looked at Duan Shujun's serious appearance and was stunned, and said seriously, "Wang Jun only wants to take advantage of the military strength of our Xianbei people.

He didn't even give us the good remuneration he said several times, but Liu Jungong's words ......"

"He wants us to be Han!" Duan Shujun said very seriously, "He wants to accept us Xianbei people as Han people!" ”

"We are Xianbei people...... Can you become a Han Chinese? Duan Wenyuan heard Duan Shujun's words and couldn't help but be at a loss!

Duan Shujun looked at Duan Wenyuan but said seriously, "Wenyuan, I must warn you, the vast majority of people in this world just use us Xianbei people as dogs, Wang Jun is like this, Xiongnu is like this, and even Liu Kun is the same.

Liu Jungong is the first, and maybe even the only, person who reaches out and helps us to be a human being!

So, at least until this path really doesn't work, I will never allow you Liu Jungong to have any bad thoughts.

Otherwise, brother, I will kill you with my own hands! ”

"Why does my brother look at me like this?" When Duan Wenyuan heard Duan Shujun's words, he couldn't help but be furious, "I'm that kind of person!" ”

But Duan Shujun didn't answer, just stared at Duan Wenyuan's eyes.

At this moment, Duan Wenyuan softened under Duan Shujun's gaze, and said helplessly: "I will definitely not go looking for trouble!" ”

Duan Wenyuan nodded and hammered Duan Wenyuan's chest with his fist, and said, "Let's go and help the clansmen study!" ”

Liu Tai's domestication of the Duan brothers is a conscious attempt, after all, Liu Tai comes from later generations and does not discriminate against Xianbei people.

As Liu Tai said, the entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is to find a way for Hu and Han to integrate.

It's just that it's really not easy to find this road, the Xiongnu Han State hit the street, the Zhao Han beat the street, and even the former Qin that almost unified the world all hit the street.

It wasn't until the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty that he barely got out of a way, and Emperor Xiaowen was a Xianbei person in the end.

And he is just taking out the path that was originally successful in history, and absorbing these ethnic minorities into the Chinese system, if this kind of absorption is just shouting what the two ethnic groups are equal, it is completely meaningless.

In terms of policy, you need to come up with a system that convinces all the two ethnic groups, otherwise the system you formulate will only benefit the Han people, which will inevitably cause alienation and alienation of different races, which will further intensify the contradictions between the two sides.

And so far, Liu Tai's biggest reference for the integration of these alien races is still Datang.

Among them, the most recognized system by Liu Tai is the government military system and the Juntian system, which cooperate with each other and give the same economic treatment to the foreign race and the Han nationality.

Let people of different races learn Chinese, practice Chinese etiquette, and integrate themselves into the Han people, so as to reduce the resistance to integration as little as possible.

I don't deny that there is definitely a lot of nationalism among the Han people, and even advocate this myself.

But thankfully, because all the ethnic minorities in the circle around the Han are deeply influenced by the Han culture, especially the upper class is influenced by the Han people, so guide the surrounding alien races to integrate into the Han people, at least they themselves are not opposed.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, when they encountered a military rebellion, the wealthy families ran faster than the other, but the ethnic minorities around the Jin court were more loyal than one another, especially the Xianbei tribe, which made the Jin courtiers even more ashamed.

To tell the truth, the Jin court divided the history of thorns one by one, and can have the loyalty of the Xianbei clan to the Western Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that this world will not be chaotic to such a point.

Liu Tai didn't put his mind on this side anymore, because he did everything he could, and the rest depended on how many Xianbei soldiers could climb out of the big pit of sinicization, and Liu Tai was very patient and could afford to wait.

And Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan began to take the initiative to help the soldiers study, and Liu Tai gave them a full thousand places, but when they really began to educate the Xianbei people, they only found out the difficulties.

Because learning is a painful thing in itself.

Don't talk about it, first of all, the level of Chinese, even if the Xianbei people are quite close to the Han people, but to educate these Xianbei people word by word, it is difficult for Xianbei people to know all the words, let alone memorize.

Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan are the high-level of the Xianbei tribe in the end, so they have been learning Chinese characters under their father's arrangement since they were young, in order to make their Xianbei tribe closer to civilization.

Now, they also expect the Xianbei warriors under their command to learn, but how can they learn quickly!

The only thing they were glad about was that the tempers of the military historians arranged by Liu Tai all wanted to be good.

Even if even they feel that the Xianbei soldiers under their command are a little hopeless, but these military historians still work hard to teach word by word, as if their eyes are full of sacredness, because for them, it is education!

Duan Wenyuan carefully selected a famous Xianbei warrior, all of them were fat and strong, fierce and vicious, let them kill, let them all be very good warriors, but let them learn, it would really kill them.

After discussing this, they soon chose to abandon teaching the warriors first, and instead began to look for the younger ones among the Xianbei people.

Compared with the soldiers, the young people are relatively simple to teach, and at the same time, Duan Shujun also planned his studies in an orderly manner.

First learn to wear Chinese clothes, then learn to practice Chinese etiquette, then learn to speak Chinese, then learn Chinese characters, and finally go to find the Chinese characters of your surname.

In any case, after Duan Shujun's orderly planning, the learning efficiency of the entire Xianbei ethnic group began to become high.

Even so, it is not easy to pass even the simplest test of military history.

At least in a short period of time, there is still a long way to go to select a thousand Xianbei soldiers who have successfully sinicized.

However, every time in the test, those who perform well do not need to go down to the mine to dig coal, but do some physical work on the ground, which brings direct benefits from learning Han culture, which makes the Xianbei people who go to study more active.

After all, after really digging coal, normal people would never want to dig down if they had the opportunity.

And Liu Tai first put aside the affairs of the Xianbei clan, and began to consult the information revealed by Liu Kun with the whole team, Liu Tai looked around at everyone, "You say, is the news that Liu Kun asked Wen Qiao to bring is true or false?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Cao Wei as the first person to stand, "Wang Jun failed in the battle of Nanpicheng, and now that both of us are recovering our military strength, it is very normal for Wang Jun to join forces with Shi Le and Gou Xi to make trouble for us."

After all, these three people have more or less grudges against us, but it's still a headache to face these three people in an instant! ”

"Uncle Cao, don't worry about this yet!" Liu Tai nodded on the table, and then said, "Zhang Changshi, I need you to go to Yuanyan and see if he can come forward and let us stop the salt in the county under Shile's jurisdiction to open and sell!" ”

"What do you mean?" When Zhang Song heard Liu Tai's words, he was slightly curious.

"Throw stones and ask for directions, aren't they short of salt, I opened this salt shop under their noses, I shouldn't object!" Liu Tai said calmly.

After hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone looked at each other a few times, and Chu Yu said:

"This is not a way to deal with it, but what about the other, that is, Gou Xi? What should we do?

After all, if he and Wang Jun attack us on both sides, we are afraid that it will not be comfortable for us to deal with! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "Although I think that if a war really breaks out, I will definitely be able to win him, but I still need to be cautious when I should be cautious, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Let Gou Chun take a holiday, let Gou Chun send Xuzhou to give it a try!" Chu Yu said calmly

"His identity is more or less a proton!" Zhang Song couldn't help but say worriedly.

When Liu Tai heard this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Yu,

Chu Yu smiled wryly: "Who of us still treats him as a proton, and isn't he doing well enough these days?"

Comparing whether to continue to be Gou Xi's shadow or to be his own Gou Chun, he needs to make a decision after all.

Moreover, Gou Chun inspected the field tax and service tax, which has recently caused the family to boil a little, and someone has begged me to come here! ”

"I know, let him take a vacation and go to his brother as an envoy, and let him go for a break!"

Liu Tai nodded, and sighed in his heart, where is there another cool official in this world who is as carefree as Gou Chun and dares to do things!

After calculating it, it seems that there are still three chapters owed
