Chapter 5252 Han Chinese Management of State-owned Racecourses

Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly and said: "Can you realize this kind of fusion of Hu and Han now? I'm afraid not necessarily. The Hu barbarians in the north, especially the Northern Wei Dynasty, still cannot integrate Hu and Han. Even in Qingzhou, the Xianbei people still haven't learned it.

Farming and farming, I have a say in this."

Liu Yu said calmly: "When I talk about the integration of Hu and Han, I don't mean that the production methods should be integrated immediately. After all, the Hu people are mainly nomadic and the Han people make a living by farming. They have different lives. I want to force integration."

Being one body is not that easy."

"Besides, before the Yongjia Rebellion, didn't the Huns and Jiehu in the Central Plains know how to farm? Shile knew how to farm, but didn't he still do the opposite? Why did the various Huns who had lived in the Central Plains for a long time in the past two hundred years?

The ethnic Hu people are always unable to achieve integration, and they always rebel when given the opportunity, and want to be independent? This is not a problem of production methods, but more of an organizational form."

Liu Jingxuan's eyes lit up: "What you mean is that the reason why the Hu people rebelled was not because of their production methods, but because they retained their own tribes and only obeyed the orders of their own chiefs and leaders instead of the imperial court.

Official?"

Liu Yu nodded: "Exactly, this is what I realized after going to Chang'an once. In the past, we all thought that the Hulu were just soldiers by themselves. All the people in the tribe were warriors, and then they enslaved and ruled the Han people. Later,

After I visited Guanzhong and the grasslands, including Nanyan, I realized that although they nominally entered the Central Plains and accepted the rule of the government, this kind of rule was just a rule from the time of Cao Cao when they introduced the barbarians into the Guan.

In Jisu, their tribal form is still preserved. They still only listen to their leaders and do not know that their country is a court or a government. If the tribes are not broken up, the tribesmen will be organized into households and dispersed to Han villages in various places.

It is impossible for them to truly integrate into the Central Plains and into China."

Liu Jingxuan frowned: "But even in Nanyan, you didn't do this after you destroyed the country. Now you still let the Xianbei people turn into military households and live in centralized areas, and still retain the original tribal pattern.

, it’s just that some of our own officers have been stationed and supervised.”

Liu Yu said calmly: "This is just the beginning. If someone else's country is newly destroyed and the tribes are to be forcibly divided, it may cause a fierce backlash. As military households and soldiers, they will think that fighting for the country is their duty to the country.

, in exchange for the protection of the country, allotment of land, and then sending old farmers and village heads to teach their families and nephews to farm. After they have the ability to support themselves, they will be slowly split up and converted into private households depending on the situation.

"

"Like this battle of Jiankang, the thousands of Xianbei armored cavalry led by Suo Miao and Duan Hong performed outstandingly and achieved military exploits. In the future, we can let their meritorious soldiers be rewarded in the name of meritorious service.

Distribute them to other places, give them enough land, and even consider allowing them to enter big cities and do business to make a living. This is obviously attractive to the Xianbei people."

Liu Jingxuan's brows were still furrowed and he murmured: "But in this way, if the Xianbei people are military households and soldiers as their profession and fighting as their main occupation, they will give up their specialties and stop fighting in the future and become farmers.

Or if they are merchants, will that cause any loss to our cavalry?"

Liu Yu said with a smile: "The Xianbei people are not born with the ability to fight on horseback. Isn't it also because they used to be nomadic and grew up on horses and dealt with mounted archers since they were young, so they are good at cavalry fighting? But since

They can spend a lot of time training on horseback, but we Han people can't do it. In the future, in our Han army, there will be people who rely on fighting to gain wealth. So if we train our children and nephews to inherit their father's business, wouldn't we also be able to train them in horseback riding and archery from an early age?

Just like you, Ah Shou, haven't you been trained like this since you were a child? Your horse-riding skills were much better than mine when you entered the Beifu Army."

A trace of pride flashed across Liu Jingxuan's face, and he patted his chest: "Yes, in fact, I have always thought you were a wild boy. Although you are very skilled in foot combat, you can only fight on horseback, bend a bow and shoot from behind."

He is a true warrior who can gallop on the battlefield. However, your riding skills may have improved greatly due to the experience of Murong Lan and the grassland. After you came back from the grassland, your horseback fighting skills are no worse than mine.

"

Liu Yu laughed loudly and said: "I'm obviously better than you, so what do you mean I'm not worse than you?"

Liu Jingxuan's face turned slightly red: "That's right, but you have to ride a horse to fight or herd every day in the grassland. I don't have many opportunities to train on horseback every day after the war. The biggest problem is that there is not enough grassland.

There is no racecourse where horses can gallop all day long."

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, it is not easy to have a big horse farm south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. However, there are some horse farms developed by Nan Yan in Qingzhou. The reason why I can't immediately touch the Xianbei tribe of Nan Yan is also because of these

The Xianbei people like them have experience in the operation and maintenance of horse farms. However, now I have also sent many farmers and village heads to learn the operation and management of these horse farms. In the Lanxiang Official School, there is also a dedicated horse farm official position.

These are indispensable for us in the future. If we want to compete with the northern Hulu in the plains and grasslands, we can't do it without cavalry. However, this cavalry cannot be a patent of the Xianbei people."

Liu Jingxuan echoed: "Yes, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large racecourse was built in Shanglinyuan in Guanzhong. Later, there were a large number of racecourses affiliated to the imperial court throughout Longyou, Hexi and Monan Grassland, which also ensured that the Han army was always

There are hundreds of thousands of cavalry available. Our biggest advantage in pacifying the demon thieves, apart from the Beifu Army’s armored phalanx and chariots, is the impact brought by the armored cavalry. In the past, the Northern Expedition was defeated.

The success was also due to the lack of cavalry to deal with the opponent's cavalry regiment. Even in the battle to defeat Nanyan, we almost failed due to lack of cavalry."

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Yes, in the future, the imperial court will set up institutions and departments specifically to manage horses. Your army has always had the most cavalry and the most experience among all legions. Many of your subordinates can be transferred to this department in the future.

, specifically responsible for cavalry training."

Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips and said, "That's a story for later. Most of my subordinates are still Han people. Their use and maintenance of cavalry are still far behind those of the Xianbei people. Since you said you want the Hu and Han to merge, how can we break it down in the future?"

Their tribal model is managed by the government, so when I return, I can start to let some Xianbei people settle down together with my old brothers when they retire. This will help them further integrate, what do you think?" (End of this chapter)
