The idea of the wingman
After Li Zhi's words were finished, the others stopped talking.
But they still had a disapproving look on their faces.
Obviously, I still don't agree with Li Zhi's approach.
It's not to blame them, after all, the bureaucrats haven't stopped much over the years.
In three days, the two heads will jump out and make trouble.
In their minds, instead of pulling energy back and forth like this, it is better to simply do it once.
Kill some of these wingmen so that they know how powerful the court is.
However, Li Zhi, who comes from modern society, knows that these ethnic minorities are all cultural treasures of the Chinese nation.
Only by integrating their culture into the mainstream culture can the ultimate Chinese culture be formed.
If Chinese culture lacks the characteristics of eclecticism and inclusiveness, will it still be the most powerful culture of mankind?
So Li Zhi continued to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, the population of my Tang Dynasty is already scarce, and now these bureaucrats are rare laborers even if they are not civilized. ”
Duan Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, it is not very clear whether these wingmen have been subjected to Wang Huachen, but judging from their capricious character, it is definitely not easy to discipline. ”
Li Zhi said: "These wingmen have lived in the mountains for a long time and have been in the company of wild beasts all day long, and they are naturally and primitive. ”
Su Lie said: "The last general thinks that even if His Highness wants to assimilate them, he should first use thunder to let them know that the imperial court is powerful before talking about anything else." ”
Li Zhi saw that he couldn't persuade everyone, so he had no choice but to speak: "This matter can be discussed later, and let's talk about it first, if Tan Dian and the others have no objection, how to beat it?" ”
Duan Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "It is the nature of the Great Chieftain of the Wing Clan to seek the expansion of power.
The minister thought that it would be sufficient to strike it properly to withdraw it from the newly occupied states.
However, the power of the Chen clan was originally given by the imperial court, and now it is absolutely unforgivable that it has lost the land received by the imperial court. ”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Lord Duan coincides with what this king thinks, and this Chen clan is no longer worthy of guarding one side for the imperial court..."
While Li Zhi and the others were discussing the strategy against the bureaucrats here, Tan Dian was also discussing the matter of launching a rebellion with more than a dozen bureaucratic cave masters and Chen Longshu, the patriarch of the Chen clan.
Li Zhi led the prisoners of war to develop Lingnan, and the matter naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of these people.
Therefore, they have been secretly paying attention to Li Zhi as early as when he first came to Lingnan.
It can be said that Li Zhi has done everything here, and these people already know everything about it.
Especially when these people saw that Li Zhi led the people to reclaim a large amount of farmland, these people all realized that this would pose a great threat to their rule.
The productivity of the wingmen is backward, and the land that can be developed is very limited.
Even if it was reluctantly developed, the agricultural technology of the Yiyi people could not produce much food.
Naturally, there is no shortage of food to leave enough food to cope with the next year's cultivation.
In such a situation, they could buy them by providing them with some food or tools for hunting.
Make them feel grateful to themselves.
In order to ensure their long-term rule, they never passed on advanced production techniques to these people.
In order to make these people dependent on themselves and more vulnerable to their exploitation.
Whenever the policies of the imperial court were unfavorable to the rule of Tan Dian and others, they would begin to deceive people.
instigated these men to rebel with them.
This is the real reason why it is always difficult for the wingmen to be disciplined.
Now, Li Zhi has come to Lingnan with a large number of people, and is engaged in development under the noses of these bureaucrats.
It won't be long before those men will be able to see advanced agricultural technology.
And once the wingmen learn these techniques, their usefulness is suddenly reduced.
At that time, it will be difficult for these people to support their subordinates to work for them at will.
Therefore, in order to maintain their rule, they must rebel before this happens.
Tan Dian spoke first: "Everyone, now that the other party has come to the territory that belongs to us, if we don't make a decision, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”
Chen Longshu opened his mouth and said: "My Chen family is naturally on the side of the big chief, as long as the big chief's side takes action, we will naturally respond immediately." ”
One of the cave masters spoke: "Now we have no way out, everything is arranged by the chieftain. ”
Tan Diandao: "Ben Shuai is not very self-conscious, as long as the court promises us not to continue to cultivate within our forces, we can be safe."
If the imperial court refuses to agree, then Ben Shuai can't and can only take you to drive all these people out of Lingnan. ”
A cave master spoke: "This cave master thinks that he should also make an agreement with the other party to prohibit the people of the two sides from interacting privately. ”
Everyone nodded after hearing this proposal.
For them, the biggest concern is that the people under their command will gain advanced productivity.
Once these people's lives are better, they will have no incentive to rebel against the imperial court again.
Tan Diandao: "Now we still need to send a representative to negotiate with the king of Najin, I don't know which one is willing to take on this big responsibility?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, but none of them opened their mouths to speak.
For these rabble, it's okay to make a fuss behind Tan Dian and pick up some cheap.
But let them risk their lives to go to Li Zhi's territory alone, but no one has the courage to do so.
Tan Dian glanced at everyone and then spoke: "Everyone, at the moment, we haven't torn our faces with each other, and I think that the King of Jin will not take the initiative to act unreasonably." ”
Chen Longshu opened his mouth and said: "The chief knows Chen's identity, and Chen must not come forward in this matter. ”
Tan Dian said with a smile: "This point is clear to Tan, and he will not open his mouth to embarrass the Chen family master." ”
After saying this, he looked at the other cave masters and said, "Since you cave masters are so embarrassed, then Ben Shuai will personally go to meet the king of Jin for a while." ”
After hearing this, the cave masters hurriedly opened their mouths and sent their own sycophants.
Some people wish that the temple will be victorious and successful.
Some people say that the prestige of the temple is infinite, and this will definitely make Li Zhi fearful and agree to everyone's requests.
They don't have much culture themselves, so they don't have a high level of sycophancy.
But for Tan Dian, this is actually enough.
He threw out the question of who to negotiate with, and these people did not have the courage to take on this responsibility.
At this point, he himself can only show his importance in the team.
Just as these people control their subordinates, Tan Dian naturally needs to consolidate his position by solving problems that these people can't solve.
Just when Tan Dian was full of confidence and ready to set off to negotiate with Li Zhi.
The two ten-man squads of the Dragoons had quietly infiltrated several of the wingmen's territory.
Dressed in different bureaucratic costumes, they traveled among the tribes in fluent language, searching for useful information.
During this period, the hardships of the bureaucrats also brought great shock to these people.
