Chapter 158: The Future of the Xianbei Clan
With the arrival of the unitary hour, a burst of gongs rang throughout the mining area.
In the underground mine, they began to climb out one after another, and there were no clean Xianbei people who were covered in black and black.
The Xianbei people carried a basket almost half a man high, and the cinder black hand placed the basket full of coal mines in front of a Xianbei administrator dressed in a clean Hanfu.
Waiting until the Xianbei management personnel weighed the amount of ore in the basket, he nodded with satisfaction, "Today is good, let's go eat!" ”
This dark Xianbei man is called Amo, and he shows some flattery to the Xianbei management, so he obediently leaves to eat.
When I came to the place to eat, I found that today's food was very good, in addition to pickles, there was actually salted fish today.
This heavy smell is also just right for those of them who do manual work, and he doesn't say much, but buries his head in cooking.
There was only one corridor away from Amo, and on the other side was where their overseer ate.
The same is to eat, their food is much better than their own, there are meat and fish, vegetables and soup, and even everyone has the fragrance of chicken thighs in their rice bowls.
The Xianbei people who were cooking raised their heads and looked enviously at those Xianbei people who were obviously of the same clan not long ago.
But now they are wearing Hanfu, talking about sinicization, and gradually becoming the managers of this coal mine, and they don't know each other.
To be honest, at the beginning, they thought that as Liu Tai made the Xianbei people become the ruler, then these Xianbei people should lead themselves and others to riot, resist, and launch an uprising, so that they and others could regain their freedom and become a new tribe again.
But no.
Even the Xianbei people who work can clearly feel that for every less Han person to manage, and every more person to manage Xianbei, the living conditions of themselves and others have become worse.
At least when the Han people were in charge, they and others could bathe almost every day, and occasionally eat meat at meals.
Even if anyone was injured, the Han people would send medical camps to help the injured, and they would not have to work for a few days.
But as more and more Xianbei people became managers, everything changed.
Unless Xianbei people can speak Chinese, understand Han history, and especially write Chinese characters, they will be accepted by these people after the assessment and wear clean and decent Han clothes.
If you can't do it, you can only work honestly in the charcoal pit.
To be honest, many Xianbei people who are still working at the bottom do not understand, and their hearts are full of resentment.
Obviously, they are all people from the same tribe as yourself, why can you bully your own people like this when you change your clothes!
It's true that I can't learn to speak Chinese, but Chinese is so difficult to speak and difficult to learn, can I blame myself?
Why do you want to enjoy such treatment as you, you have to force the people to speak Chinese and even write Chinese characters!
At this time, a man dressed in rich silk clothes strode here.
At this moment, whether it was the Xianbei people at the bottom or those Xianbei people wearing Han army uniforms, they also clasped their fists on their left chests and saluted Duan Shujun in front of them.
Because it was him, little by little, he won a little bit for the Xianbei clan who were imprisoned under the ranks, but for the current Xianbei captives, they had the right to breathe.
At this time, Duan Shujun looked at the scene in front of him, but he frowned, and said in Chinese:
"From now on, don't give me the Xianbei etiquette, but the Han courtesy, we can survive the benevolence of the county prince!"
Hearing this, those Xianbei people wearing Hanfu came back to their senses one after another, just like Duan Shujun said.
But those Xianbei people who were covered in darkness, looking at Duan Shujun, felt that their leader was so strange.
At this moment, they looked at Duan Shujun in a daze, not knowing what kind of appearance they should use to deal with their leader.
Because of Duan Shujun's words, they couldn't understand it.
At this time, Duan Shujun ignored those who didn't understand, but came to those Xianbei people wearing Hanfu and said:
"How many people have passed the assessment of military history this month, I will take them all!"
"No, there are about 43 people this month!" The Xianbei man in Hanfu hurriedly replied.
"Is there only forty-three...... I can't even get together three hundred horsemen! Duan Shujun said to the Xianbei people with a little helplessness,
"Let me continue to strengthen the learning of Chinese and Chinese etiquette among the members of the tribe, especially the young and clever ones.
If we can't organize a Xianbei cavalry, that tribe is doomed to have no status in this Qingzhou.
I don't think you want to stay in the mines forever and be prisoners here! ”
"Subordinates must obey the orders of the Khan!" The people dressed in Hanfu spoke decisively, revealing a look of eagerness to go out.
Duan Shujun looked at his people helplessly, thinking that his tribe with more than 10,000 people had been captured, and it should not be difficult to select a cavalry team of 1,000 people to learn Chinese and Chinese etiquette from this, after all, it was only one out of ten, so what was the difficulty.
But in reality, it is so difficult to teach my tribesmen to learn Chinese and Chinese etiquette, and even know how to read Chinese history.
Liu Tai was very supportive, and prepared a sand table equipped with a pen stick for the Xianbei people, so that the tribesmen could practice writing repeatedly.
As for the paper, Duan Shujun didn't dare to think about it.
After all, paper is a specialty even in the Qingzhou area, but there are not many of them traded.
Because the paper is basically only used for military history, however, each person in military history can only go to the quartermaster office to receive five catties of paper.
After all, the supply of paper is still quite tight, and Chen Yuanda's Fa Cao needs to record all kinds of cases.
Therefore, the paper on Liu Tai's side is always insufficient, and it has not been able to develop into a special product for sale.
However, Duan Shujun also knew that such a thing as paper must be used by the elite of the Han people, and he must not have these Xianbei slaves, Liu Tai can prepare a sand table for the Xianbei people, and Duan Shujun is very satisfied.
But even if Liu Tai prepared a sand table and prepared a military history for the Xianbei people, after the first batch of middle and high Xianbei people around Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan passed one after another, the learning efficiency of the subsequent Xianbei people dropped sharply.
Duan Shujun understood that the middle and high elites of the Xianbei tribe were more or less admiring the culture of the Han people.
When they can solve their own life problems, they will more or less instinctively learn the civilization of the Han people.
For human beings, as long as the problem of food and clothing is solved, the pursuit of civilization is almost an instinct engraved in human genes.
This was as true in ancient times as it is in modern times.
It's as if many people know why they always compare China with the whole foreign country, and even with extraterrestrial civilizations.
In addition to their real admiration, the most important thing is that Yuan Lao has fed them all and let them have time to think nonsense, and it is time for the lighthouse to put spiritual food on them, showing the cutting-edge technology of remote feeding.
Now the Han Dynasty is also attracted to these Xianbei people, don't look at the current Jin court is weak, but the civilization glory nurtured by the Han Dynasty still irresistibly attracts these Xianbei people, making them eager to become civilized people from barbarians.
It's like after the Han Dynasty was destroyed, Liu Yuan directly raised the banner of the Han Dynasty, if the Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed, the remaining alien races who yearn for civilization are afraid that they will all hold high that they are the successors of Chinese civilization.
I can't wait to put all the civilizations of the Han Dynasty on the face of my own nation. Of course, Duan Shujun also thought about it.
But didn't it just be executed, and it was destroyed by Liu Tai.
If his plan to actively integrate into Huaxia fails, then even if he passively integrates into Huaxia, what is wrong with allowing Xianbei to continue to maintain a certain degree of army under the leadership of the Han Dynasty!
Not to mention, Liu Tai also encouraged Xianbei people to learn Han culture, Duan Shujun sometimes wondered, would other Han people give Xianbei people such a chance without Liu Tai?
So Duan Shujun didn't want to give up this opportunity.
And Duan Wenyuan was upset to see these things, but he really didn't want to care about them.
Although he is also a Xianbei person who can speak Chinese, understands Han etiquette, and yearns for the Han civilization, he feels that his brother Duan Shujun is a little too flattering to Liu Tai.
He can work hard to pass the military standards set by Liu Tai, but he really can't do it himself, and urge his people to do it.
Because every time Duan Wenyuan takes the initiative to do this kind of thing, he will more or less have a sense of betrayal of the nation.
And Duan Shujun more or less felt Duan Wenyuan's psychology, so he didn't force Duan Wenyuan to do it.
I just hope that Duan Wenyuan can put more energy into military affairs and give the Xianbei clan his reputation.
Duan Shujun also has a clear understanding that his military exploits are the heaviest bargaining chips under Liu Tai
As for this kind of dirty work, then leave it to yourself, you don't feel tired, and you are willing to do it.
Duan Shujun felt a little sacred at the moment, and asked about the list of those who had completed the assessment this week, and he was ready to take these clansmen away after eating, preparing to let them join Duan Wenyuan's army.
Just when Duan Shujun was really thinking about things, a familiar Xianbei language broke into his ears, and Mo knelt in front of Duan Shujun and said to Duan Shujun:
"Khan, you are our Khan, why do you speak in Chinese that we don't understand, why don't you speak the language of Xianbei, have you forgotten the glory of our Xianbei?!"
Duan Shujun didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, so he kicked this amo away with a hard kick first, and said:
"It's hard for the tribe to be hard, do you still want the tribe to not survive?!
The glory of Xianbei has always been there, you feel that you are gone, and sometimes find your own reasons.
Why did you change your mind in such a short period of time, and did you seriously learn Chinese and Chinese etiquette?
Or do you want your people to be captives and mine for the rest of your life? ”
"......" Facing Duan Shujun's questioning, Ah Mo was suddenly stunned, and his head was a little blank for a while.
Because Ah Mo didn't expect that if he said it from the bottom of his heart, he would be reprimanded by Duan Shujun.
The surrounding clansmen looked at Mo and sneered even more, and their eyes became even colder.
They felt that Ah Mo was simply crazy, and now such a good life was given by Liu Tai to himself and others, you must know that although he was a prisoner, Liu Tai's rules did not treat the Xianbei people badly.
Even if they were mining, it was very uncomfortable to work one by one, but Liu Tai didn't deduct them from the food.
The food they put in their mouths now is something they can't think of in their lives.
Not to mention, Liu Tai did not let them be captives for a lifetime, but provided a channel for ascension.
If you do a good job, you can be a jailer, you can manage those Xianbei people of the same clan, and if you continue to do a little better, you will be selected by Duan Wenyuan and join the army.
And although the number of these people is only 1,000 now, Liu Tai really gave the Han army the same treatment.
Eating equipment or something, not to mention the line, the most important thing is that as long as you get married and start a family, it is really for the acres.
Seeing one of his subordinates marry a prostitute he had bought with great difficulty, Liu Tai directly sent the ripe field down.
This made Duan Shujun firm up the idea of following Liu Tai, and now you guy suddenly jumped out and said something?
What kind of Xianbei glory, if this thing obstructs the great cause of sinicization of his Xianbei alien race, then Duan Shujun wants this person to die!
The current Xianbei doesn't need this kind of ignorant guy, the current Xianbei needs to be a smart person like himself!
In the final analysis, the historical background of the Xianbei ethnic group is still too weak.
Although there has been a unified Xianbei with Tanshi Huai, Kebi can develop, but Xianbei has never really stood up in front of the Han people, which makes the Xianbei people always bow their heads in the face of the Han people.
Especially in the face of the continuous erosion of Han culture, the kind of self-confidence of the Han people in the glory of the Han Dynasty has never really developed the Xianbei people.
Not to mention the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it completely wiped out the original heritage of the Xianbei people.
As far as the regime is concerned, this is of course a good thing, helping a regime to have a more secure grip on secular authority.
However, for a nation, when it discards its own history and culture and thus imitates other civilizations, it is doomed that the nation is destined to be eaten up by history, and can only become a sigh in the history books.
It can only be said that a nation should have the persistence of its own nation.
Even if this kind of insistence seems foolish, the matter itself is helping you resist the dimensionality reduction of higher civilizations.
But when you really open your heart and mind to study higher culture desperately, then in the same way, you yourself will inevitably be completely swallowed up by higher culture.
At this time, Duan Shujun glanced at Ah Mo, who was kicked away by himself, walked a few steps and stopped, and said coldly:
"I don't want to see him again, and I don't want to hear anyone say anything like that again!"
Hearing Duan Shujun's words, these Xianbei people, who had all benefited from sinicization, looked at Mo with a look full of ill will.
At this moment, Duan Shujun felt a little upset in his heart, but he left quickly.
Duan Shujun clenched his fists, and secretly said in his heart, "I'm not wrong, sinicization is the future of the Xianbei clan!" ”
About a week later, the mine reported a mine collapse, and a captive named Amo died in the cave.
This report was quickly sent to Chu Yu, and Chu Yu saw that only one Xianbei prisoner had died, so he read it casually.
Then dispatch the prisoner and his son-in-law to come over to dig the coal mine together, after all, the reserves of the coal mine are far from enough!
