Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "Are you really willing to do this? Disband the Helan tribe and return the tribe to the Jin Dynasty and become common people and subjects?"
He Lanmin nodded and said seriously: "Yes, what you just said, I have been thinking about, the Helan tribe and the people of our tribe. To put it bluntly, only when they were nomadic on the grassland, there were such patriarchs and tribesmen.
The relationship between them, whether it is my eldest brother or my ancestors, the way they have led their tribesmen for thousands of years is based on the nomadic life on the grassland, and our tribesmen are also used to riding horses, hunting, herding cattle and sheep.
"
"Actually, even the two years we were in Nanyan were very difficult. We failed to assassinate Tuoba Si. More than 20,000 tribal warriors abandoned their wives and children, left their families and fled to Nanyan. Although the Murong family,
The black-robed Murong Chui was very kind to us and arranged a new arrangement for them.
Wife, we divided the territory, allocated food, grass and weapons, and also provided war horses. We, the Helan clan, were stationed on the northern border for Nanyan. They were kind enough to take us in. However, after two years, more than half of the clan members are still not used to this.
I lived a life in the Central Plains and finally left."
Liu Yu frowned: "So miserable? Where can they go back? Back to the Northern Wei Dynasty again? Aren't they afraid of Tuoba Si's revenge on them?"
He Lanmin shook his head: "Tuoba Si is not a mindless butcher. He has a purpose in killing or not killing people. Not everyone in the Helan tribe wants to oppose Tuoba Si. For most of the tribe,
Actually, I am not that loyal to my eldest brother. In fact, more than half of the clan members, especially the slaves and auxiliary servants in the tribe, are actually just prisoners of war captured by other tribes that we destroyed after many years of conquests."
Liu Yu nodded: "So, what you want to say is that as long as Tuoba Si pardons these middle- and lower-class soldiers and even offers them benefits, such as allowing them to reunite with their families and return to the grassland, then
Will these warriors leave the Helan tribe and return to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
He Lanmin nodded: "That's right, more than half of our tribe left like this, so that my eldest brother finally brought less than 10,000 horses to Nanyan to defend the city. After the city was broken, our Helan tribe arrived
There are less than 5,000 people in the Jin Dynasty. This is the current situation of our tribe. To put it harshly, it is not easy to maintain an independent tribe."
Liu Yu sighed: "Five thousand people, including family members, is actually the size of one or two counties. In our Jin Dynasty, it is not a small force, but I can't let you Helan tribe people only serve as soldiers forever.
He doesn't farm, and he controls all the cavalry resources of the Jin Dynasty. You have to know,
In the future, our entire military system will need to be reformed. Not to mention the Helan Department, even the military-producing areas of the Beifu Army such as Jingkou may no longer be retained, and various policies of no taxation and no levy will no longer be provided.
The purpose of sexual benefits is to make everyone in the country equal and everywhere equal."
He Lanmin's eyes widened in surprise: "Jingkou no longer provides policies? No more troops are produced from Jingkou?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, people from all places, up and down the Jin Dynasty, should enjoy the same treatment and rights. In the past, in order to resettle the refugees in the north, Jingkou was specially established as a prefecture and county for the resettlement of overseas Chinese. But now in the north
Gradually it became stable, and in the future we will definitely carry out a large number of northern expeditions to regain Vietnam.
Come to more and more places, such as conquering Nanyan, Qingzhou will return to the hands of the Jin Dynasty. In this way, the number of refugees in the north will only decrease, while the territory of the Jin Dynasty will increase. Even if I want to
If we continue to maintain places like Jingkou or Huaibei Shanzhai that specialize in producing soldiers, I am afraid there will be no successors."
He Lanmin laughed: "That's true. As far as I know, even in places like Jingkou, people have made great contributions to their families, won titles, and been assigned fields and money. After that, they want to go to big cities, especially those who build
Life in Kangcheng, old Jingkou people
More than half of the time has passed, even your brother Liu Yu Liu has moved his family to Jiankang. Oh, by the way, you have a reason. Now that you are a minister of the country, you naturally want to go to Beijing as an official.
Your family will naturally have to follow suit and join Jiankang."
Liu Yu sighed: "Yes, this is something I can't stop. I came to Beijing as an official to control the government. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to monitor the government when I was in Jingkou, and neither could Mu Zhi. After all, look at our Jingkou
When people become prosperous and come to power, there are too many people from noble families who are jealous and who are doing things secretly.
It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, we were greedy for enjoyment and wanted to live a better life, so we entered Jiankang. They also followed suit. In just ten years or so, most of the old residents in Jingkou have actually left.
, I don’t know most of the fellow villagers in Jingkou now, and there are even many Xianbei people.”
He Lanmin smiled and said: "Aren't those the Xianbei cavalry you brought back from Nanyan and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty? It's ironic, the place where the Huru were hated the most before, now actually has many barbarians living in it. This has also accelerated
After the relocation of Jingkou people, do you want to send troops from all over the world in the future, not just Jingkou?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Jingkou's advantages in the past lay in its martial customs and the determination of the whole county to eagerly go to the north and regain the lost territory. But now, these have disappeared with the departure of the older generation of Jingkou people.
to go, and to cut off the refugees in the north, and could no longer continue. Moreover, in the future,
If it is according to my idea, disciplined, entry-level recruit training such as combat skills, formations, and simple weapon use can be organized by veterans returning home from the army in the form of corvee during the slack time.
The local young men participated in military training, teaching the men to have basic military qualities."
He Lanmin smiled and said: "I've heard of this. It used to be like the Qin and Han Dynasties. In your Central Plains, it was called the official examination, right? It was a simple military training for the whole people."
Liu Yu continued: "Yes, these are the ancient official examinations, but we can organize military training for all the people by having veterans return to their hometowns and serve as local military instructors. Since these positions of veterans, including salaries, are determined by
The state comes to give them, so they are actually the people of the state, rather than
The local tyrants like before can use them to strengthen the state's control over the grassroots villages, so that the people, starting from the military training of Chengding's land transfer, know that it is the Jin state that gives them everything, and they must keep the existing
In order to live a healthy life, we must serve our country without hesitation, just like we are filial to our parents!" (End of this chapter)
