Chapter 5440 An Tianming, a common man at the bottom
He Lanmin smiled and nodded: "It sounds really good. If it were anyone else, I think it would be an empty promise, but from what you Liu Yu said, I know you will definitely do what you say, Liu
General, from now on, the fate of our Helan tribe will be entrusted to you, and this attack on Shixing, my eldest brother who accompanied the army, and the tribe's three thousand cavalry can be our last battle."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Among the Xianbei cavalry who returned after the destruction of Nanyan, the tiger-spotted cavalry from the Murong tribe and other servant tribes, I have sent them back and did not participate in this Lingnan pursuit.
The Helan cavalry, which was relatively late in Jiankang, has been following the army since the Battle of Leichi. You should understand what I mean."
He Lanmin said calmly: "Yes, I know this is because Liu Yu wants to win some opportunities for us Helan tribe members to make meritorious deeds. Before today, I thought you wanted to retain our Helan tribe and collectively become your Han people."
A military household, or a professional soldier.
But after talking to you, I learned that if you want to split up our Helan tribe and let these tribesmen be divided into various counties and counties, then you are going to give them enough opportunities to make contributions, so that
Can they get rewards, even knighthoods?"
Liu Yu nodded and said: "That's right. This time I let them mix with the cavalry troops of the Jingzhou and Jiangzhou regiments, with a scale of five thousand people, to act together, just to enhance the understanding between the soldiers.
And feelings, after all, the friendship forged on the battlefield will last a lifetime. Many people in the Helan tribe don't speak Chinese very well, or in other words,
There is a strong Qingzhou accent in his speech. In the south, Han officials and people in many places may not be able to understand him very well. Therefore, even if I go to various places to establish households and integrate people, I hope that they can become comrades-in-arms with them.
The Han cavalry were accompanied by two or three Helan clan members, and one or two Han soldiers were assigned to one place, so that they could take care of each other."
"Furthermore, officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service can receive rewards and land according to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, and be given appropriate titles according to the size of their merits. This allows them to become local grassroots officials when they go to the local area.
At least, it is available locally
Local officers who are responsible for future military training, at least for their generation, can always remain in the establishment of state-paid civil servants and are not ordinary people. Only with such status can they avoid being bullied by powerful local landlords.
"
He Lanmin smiled and said: "I heard that after the success of Jianyi last time, you also thought the same way. You gave those heroes who built Yi a lot of rewards and titles, and asked them to work as grassroots officials in Wudi.
, such as the village chief, Li Zheng, or local military officials such as Qiu Kui, but in the end your reform failed, and the vast majority of Beifu brothers
, they were squeezed out by powerful landlords in the local area and couldn't get a foothold at all. In the end, they had to sell their land in exchange for some shops owned by wealthy families in the city, and then went to the city to become small traders. There were even some who were miserable and were heavily in debt.
Or if you get into a lawsuit, you won't be able to work as a merchant in the end, and you can only become a tenant of a noble family, a banker, or even a servant who cares for the home."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is a big lesson for me. I originally wanted to rely on the old brothers Jianyi to become a grassroots official, so as to control the grassroots power that has always been controlled by the high-ranking families, but I
It's still wrong. These high-ranking families control the grassroots.
The control power is stronger than I imagined. Maybe I also made a mistake, thinking that people everywhere would unite around my old brothers like Jingkou to fight against the noble families and fight for their own rights.
should have the power.”
He Lanmin said calmly: "It is true that because you have stayed in Jingkou for too long, you think that everyone in the world is just like you, with the consciousness of safeguarding their own interests, having their own dreams, and being willing to fight for them all their lives. In fact, most people in the world are like you."
Most people have long been accustomed to being submissive, accustomed to being ruled and oppressed by others, and they don't even dare to imagine what they would be like after leaving their masters.
How can we survive? Because there are too many slaves in our tribe, as well as lower-level tribesmen. They really think that they will starve to death without the tribe leader, and this kind of consciousness and emotion is contagious. Once it becomes common among everyone
If you accept this idea, you will submit to a supreme leader, then regard his words as God's will, and then obey the officials at all levels assigned by him."
At this point, He Lanmin sighed: "This is what you Central Plains people call the divine right of kings. In our grassland tribes, through the words of various priests, the tribe leader is the son of heaven, or the descendant of the queen of gods.
Putting on a layer of legality, because everyone has always trusted these leaders, it can be passed down from generation to generation. Unless the entire tribe's priests and the old camp of the tribe are destroyed, otherwise such a tribe can continue to be passed down and split.
Many closely related tribes emerged, covering the grasslands."
He Lanmin looked at Liu Yu and said seriously: "I said before that many tribesmen were actually slaves to tribesmen from defeated enemy tribes. They will believe that the reason why the original tribe was defeated is because our Helan tribe has
God's protection, this leader has destiny
, so they will willingly become members of the Helan tribe, hoping that one day, through their own efforts, they can change their fate of becoming slaves and become equal members of the tribe like everyone else. It is not even impossible for them to become nobles of the tribe in the future.
After you achieve success, you can separate your family and go out to another place.
As for the establishment of tribes, there have been many such deeds in the history of our Helan tribe, which also gave these people hope, so they will not think about resisting all day long to fight for their so-called rights, but will now
In some cases, strive to make meritorious service and contribute to the tribe, so as to
And turn yourself into a master. Liu Yu, you just haven't understood this. You think that you Han tenants, or our Hu people's tribal slaves, the lower class people, are worse than death, and they need you, the great savior, to lead them.
Resistance, that’s why there are these failures.”
Liu Yu said loudly: "Mrs. Helan, I insist that we cannot really regard this kind of people oppressing others and enslaving others as the right thing just because of the temporary ignorance of the people and tribesmen, or because they do not understand the nature of the world.
, generation after generation
It is said that even Chen Sheng and Wu Guang knew that kings, generals, and ministers would rather have the guts. Even Sun En and Lu Xun could incite hundreds of thousands or millions of tenant farmers to rebel. You are so sure that everyone will be content to be slaves.
