Cui Lin, who was sitting in the external camp, heard a vague shouting in the distance.
"Is this going to go to war?"
He thought to himself, so he got up and left the tent.
After learning about his purpose, Zhao Yun did not deliberately humiliate him or did anything to lower the majesty of the gentry. He still gave him a small tent, but Cui Lin had to do the cleaning and cleaning the tent himself.
Where did Cui Lin do such a thing?
How could a guy who even had a meal and felt that 650 yuan was not enough to know how to clean up his tent and take care of his life in an instant?
However, around Cui Lin, there are other wounded soldiers, either sharpening knives, sewing armor, or cutting wood to make arrows. Even if the wound fails to heal, they are all involved in labor, which makes Cui Lin a person with good hands and feet, no injuries or pain, very embarrassed.
Fortunately, people will never teach you life, but you will be able to teach it once.
To be able to sleep well and make a living, Cui Lin found that he suddenly knew a lot of things, and it was something he had never done before and had never thought about doing.
Cui Lin walked in the direction where the sound came, and the wounded soldiers who were recuperating around his tent had no intention of stopping him. He walked in the direction where the sound came, and walked more than a thousand steps before he reached the edge of the earthen plateau and saw Zhao Yun's army under the slope.
He hated Zhao Yun a little.
But hatred is worthless in the war.
Which war will not trigger thousands of hatred value? Add Cui Lin to a small amount, and no one will be missing. And the key is that Cui Lin saw Zhao Yun's strength...
This is the case with Zhao Yun’s branch, so what about the cavalry?
Or will the Cavalry rest assured that Zhao Yun has so many soldiers?
These thoughts were circling in Cui Lin's mind, and there was no final answer. This was also the reason why Cui Lin still stayed in Youzhou after contacting Zhao Yun. He thought that he only needed to communicate and contact Zhao Yun. What he waited for was rewards and sharing benefits. The result was that his choice was to live in this shit-like tent, working every day for food, and he would hurt himself if he was not careful...
Cui Lin already had many small wounds on his hands, which were not fatal, but they still hurt.
This kind of life obviously made Cui Lin very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Cui Lin, who claims to be a noble family, cannot have any recognition of Zhao Yun. Now that he is committed to it, it is just a helpless choice due to the situation.
『Kill Cao Cao and welcome the real Khan on the grassland...』
Cui Lin was stunned.
When I walked here, I could already hear the Hu people in front of me shouting something.
Cui Lin was not surprised by "killing Cao Cao" or something. After all, there were many people who said such words on the outside and secretly, and there were not many Hu people.
But what is the "real khan on the grassland"?
Cui Lin looked at the Hu people below the hillside in front and suddenly felt that the world had become unfamiliar.
Are those Hu people still the Hu people he knows?
He saw those Hu people shouting "The real sweat on the grassland", and his heart couldn't help but jump up. Could it be...
Cui Lin raised her head and looked at the location of Zhao Yun.
If Zhao Yun had any thoughts, it would be too...
Very good!
Who wants to see the ironclad under the command of the cavalry?
"Is this... want to be independent?" Cui Lin murmured.
But as Cui Lin continued to walk forward for a short period of time, when he reached the edge of the slope, he suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes because he saw that a three-color battle flag was very dazzling among the Hu people...
Cui Lin saw those Hu people surrounding the tricolor battle flag, holding up their arms and shouting, not like they were going to rebel, but they were somewhat similar to some kind of sacrifice?
Sacrifice?!
Cui Lin couldn't help but tremble.
He raised his head and stared at the three-color battle flag.
For some reason, Cui Lin seemed to see that on the battle flag, not only was there only color, but also blood and heads were hanging on it. There was the head of the Cao general who died in battle, and Cui Lin himself also seemed to have...
The wind blew, and the three-color battle flags were flying in the air.
It seemed that a head turned around and shook at him. Cui Lin looked blankly and found that this head was actually his patriarch, Cui Yan's head!
Looking closely, there was naturally nothing on the flag, but he still felt scared.
The Hu soldiers not far away were still shouting, "Warriors on the grassland! Don't listen to the lies of the immortal world anymore! Returning to the true prairie Khan is our most glorious future!"
"The real Khan of the Grassland, the real person of God from the Five Directions!"
"Great General of the Cavalry!"
"The land where the sun shines forever is our future home!"
Cui Lin stared at the beards who were still wearing fur robes, but felt confused.
He couldn't recognize them anymore.
People are still those people, but people seem to be no longer those people.
In Cui Lin's eyes, these Hu soldiers became so blurry and so unreal.
It's like a nightmare.
...
...
Zhao Yun obviously knew the changes that happened to these Hu people.
Zhao Yun was not sure whether this change was good or bad, so he generally turned a blind eye to the news that the guards reported about the "prayer" of Hu people's private gatherings and "ignoring them..."
The guards received the order and responded.
These guards are all loyal to Zhao Yun, so as long as Zhao Yun still shows a loyal attitude towards Fei Qian, the guards will be equally loyal to the cavalry.
This recursive chain of loyalty seems to be very fragile, but this is also the case in most feudal dynasties.
However, after hearing the news that Hu people had private gatherings and worshiping the three-color flag of the cavalry many times, Zhao Yun also realized the characteristics of these Hu people...
If Zhao Yun knew what Erha was, then most of them would use this animal to match these Hu people, like a wolf, but not a real wolf, like a dog, but often he would break up his house and throw his owner away and run away by himself. When he had meat, he would really get it, but he would be beaten and scream, but he couldn't remember it very much...
『Is it too idle?』
Zhao Yun couldn't help but mutter.
During this period of time, the Han soldiers in Youzhou were able to understand the importance of spring farming to farmers. Therefore, even if Zhao Yun did not give special orders, these soldiers would still give some help to the people of Youzhou to the best of their ability, but the Hu people were different.
Although the Hu people also have the concept of "spring", they do not have the idea of "planting". They just carry cattle and sheep to chase water and grass. So when Zhao Yun did not clearly order what the Hu soldiers should do, these Hu soldiers will naturally be idle.
Before becoming the Northern Region Protector, Zhao Yun felt that these Hu people were Hu people, and he had some relatively stereotyped impressions of these people. However, as he grew in the Northern Region Desert, he began to understand these Hu people a little more than before. At least he would not simply think that these Hu people are just two words, "barbarians."
The ancient Central Plains dynasty's cognition and handling of surrounding nations was actually quite complicated, but it also had cognitive limitations, and this limitation was the foundation laid by Confucian culture starting from the Han Dynasty.
Although some norms and divisions were made for the "people of the Five Directions" in "Book of Rites: Royal System", this thing is not simply arrogance, but as the theoretical cornerstone of the rule of a dynasty. Confucianism continued and carried forward the Book of Rites, which was indeed a merit, and also provided a standard of political governance for the subsequent unification of the Chinese dynasty. However, Confucianism was indeed backward in treating the "barbarians" and even seriously misleading. For example, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a great Confucianism proposed the governance logic of "China stayed in the inner world to control barbarians, and barbarians stayed outside to serve China". Although it was indeed of great help and inspiring to the political environment at that time, it also affected the subsequent failure of the trip to Southeast Asia...
Before Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions, the court's understanding of the land outside the territory was based on the legend of "Shan Hai Jing". Even after the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, the central government's grasp of border information still relied on military and town reports, forming an information funnel effect. Some gentry children and intellectuals who had mastered the mouthpiece were embarrassed to say that they did not understand at all, but at some point they intentionally or unintentionally created some foreign cognitions, and they spread them and were embarrassed to correct them. As a result, they were wrong in the future.
In fact, the Han Dynasty had already been at the forefront of the world in terms of external governance. By setting up Jiuquan and Dunhuang County, establishing a beacon system, building a composite corridor of military and commerciality. Zhang Qian's delegation carried the "Scepter" to symbolize the extension of the central imperial power of China. At the same time, for the geographical surveying and mapping of the Western Regions, as the saying goes, "it is the emperor who speaks of its terrain", it sets a precedent for systematic frontier investigations.
In the Tang Dynasty, six prefectures and seven prefectures were also established in the former Turkic areas, and the policy of "complete their tribes and following their local customs". The Honglu Temple was established in Chang'an, systematically collecting foreign affairs, and compiling the "Mark of the Western Regions".
In the Song Dynasty, although it was cowardly, it also opened trade to the East and South China Sea. Otherwise, what is it called "Traveling Song"?
At least in the Ming Dynasty, there was a voyage to the West, but if you were braided, you only knew how to stare at Mongolia and implement the "Mongolian Laws". You could not keep the Eight Banners at its peak, so you forced Mongolia to the same level as the Eight Banners. After nearly three hundred years of founding, you obviously had a system with a serf estate owner growing on a horse's back and raising horses and enclosing land. As a result, the war horses were still short-smashed three hundred years ago, and the bow and arrow were still bent forward and stretched out your neck three hundred years ago...
Zhao Yun is different from those sour scholars who have been solidified by thinking. He did not say to those Hu people that they must be belittled to "barbarians" in order to show his awesomeness. Therefore, the issues Zhao Yun was considering were more practical. He was going to give a stamp to the cavalry and integrate his thoughts in the desert of the Northern Region into the stamp.
Zhao Yun felt that even if the Hu people were huhu, they still had emotions and flesh. As long as they were guided and regulated properly, these Hu people could become a very beneficial supplement, instead of simply asking these Hu people to send some white fur and white livestock to pay tribute. In the end, these ethnic groups in the foreign land thought that white was the precious, festive and auspicious color, and then formed the custom of wearing white when encountering happy events...
In fact, this is just a utensil that was formulated by China. It allows these foreigners to pay tribute to white tuitions, which represents another form of transformation of surrendering the white flag...
When Zhao Yun started writing, he started with the regular border inspection system he established in the northern desert, saying that this method can gradually compile dynamic border maps and also help integrate the Chinese market and promote it step by step.
Zhao Yun suggested that from a single trading system to a hierarchical trading structure, from a simple border yard that only trades daily items, and then further develops into a regional central town settlement market for trading large goods. When the opportunity comes, a special market belonging to China can be opened in the Hu people's royal court to sell luxury goods and purchase strategies.
In such a market trading system, not only can strategic material trade be linked to political loyalty, but it can also invisibly promote strategic channels similar to Qin straight road, set up institutionalized stations, and directly transform them into military operations when necessary.
Of course, Zhao Yun also noted that relying solely on force cannot completely solve the problem.
It’s useless to beat Erha up, it’s not useful, it can’t remember it, and it’s still going to tear down the house next time.
So we must go further to educate, and this education...
Zhao Yun pinched the pen, frowned and thought, obviously hesitating.
Because the Southern Xiongnu education was relatively successful, many people directly used the Southern Xiongnu education model, which did have certain effects, but Zhao Yun felt that it seemed to be a little insufficient.
But if these shortcomings are mentioned, will the cavalry think that he is looking for trouble?
Zhao Yun thought about it and decided to make a statement.
Of course, this was not Zhao Yun's impulse, but his thought was his responsibility.
Since the founding of the country, the Han Dynasty has been entangled with these Hu people and was bullied by these Hu people for a time. Later, although Emperor Wu of Han rose and began to beat the Huns, the ups and downs were uncertain during the period. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xianbei has risen again. Although the cavalry army is circulating in the northern desert, the Hu people are trembling, but the lessons of the past are not far away. Will there be no new alliances in these Hu people in the desert?
Prepare for the future and be the responsibility of the minister.
In addition, as the Northern Region Protector, if you dare not even say that this matter directly related to the Hu people, then what is the significance of this "Northern Region"? And the most important point is that the Hu people are weak at the moment, and there may be some new forces in the grassland and desert, but a large-scale group has not yet been formed. It is undoubtedly possible to implement the strategy of governing the Hu people in this strategic window period to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"The subordinates of the army reported that the Northern Region has been newly established, and the soldiers have been given their lives and the people have returned to their hearts. This is indeed the time when the virtues of the Hu people are transformed into Hu. However, I saw that the Hu people in the Northern Region had no fixed place and people have no fixed place. The things they accumulated were nothing but cattle and sheep. Under natural disasters, they would disappear in a short time. This is the root of the plunder of Hu people. Emperor Gaozu entered the pass and made three rules and the people attached it. Now he said that he was brave enough to ask the Lord to make a decision and organize the people to safeguard Hu people. First, he should reward Hu's merits, accept them into the Han Dynasty, and be proud of their Han Dynasty. Second, the Hu people lack money to use it, and there are many habits to buy grains for goods. However, things cannot be preserved for a long time, and they are slightly damaged, and things are not worth it. If people are scarce, how can there be no chaos? Third, the Hu people have many false gods and inferior spirits, and worship them as trustworthy. Now the Han Dynasty should replace them. If the Han Dynasty does not take them, it will inevitably covet fakes and inferiors."
"I think that, first, the bronze medal of merit can be awarded, and the merits can be engraved, and those who hold the licence can be determined after the war. The Hu people do not know Chinese characters, do not know the pen and ink, and the meritorious officials in the army record. The Hu people are afraid of being confused and not as determined as real things. Second, they can give the land around the quid site to allow the Hu people to settle and grazle. It is difficult for the Hu people to understand the truth and understand loyalty and righteousness. However, they can maintain the safety of the quid site and get their own benefits and must be effective. Third, they can cast new coins and scattered in the quid site..."
Zhao Yun wrote all his thoughts and gains in the table.
He didn't know that his stamp had actually touched the edge of a grand strategy.
After all, the essence of this integration of the Hu people's strategy is to upgrade the traditional "detaining and tribute" system to a "symbiotic governance" system. After the Three Kingdoms in history, the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty also proved that it is feasible to carry out in-depth integration under the premise of maintaining cultural subjectivity...
At present, the Han Dynasty had not yet fully formed the ideological shackles of the so-called "distinguish between China and the barbarians", so there was still an opportunity to establish a flexible governance structure based on mutual interests and pull the so-called high-ranking great scholars to the ground. Of course, this transformation not only requires institutional innovation, but also involves deep-seated changes in the world outlook. It is no less difficult than replacing the traditional feudal system of the Qin and Han dynasties. However, in the historical experience of the Silk Road, we can see some of the emergence of this possibility.
Zhao Yun finished writing the stamp and copied it again. Then he included the newly copied stamp into the bamboo tube, added a fire lacquer seal, and sent it to the cavalry.
Seeing the person sending the seal away, Zhao Yun seemed to have put down some of his worries and began to focus on the current military situation. He thought for a while in the hall, and felt that if the Hu soldiers who were left in Youzhou were allowed to continue to stay around Jixian, they would have nothing to do. If they asked them to help farm in spring, these Hu people didn't understand, they would probably have helped...
Therefore, Zhao Yun felt that the suggestions that Wei Yan had put forward before were indeed a try now. However, unlike Wei Yan's suggestion, Zhao Yun would not take the people with him personally, but wanted his military academy to take these small portions of the Hu cavalry to the south to cooperate with Wei Yan's battle.
『Come!』 Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, 『Beat the drum and gather the generals!』
Anyway, these Hu people are not useful in Youzhou, and they have no energy to consume every day, so something will inevitably happen. It is better to let these Hu people go south, but they also need to be well managed and controlled, otherwise they will really let go, or they will start to fight back on their masters after being released. This is inappropriate.
Zhao Yun wanted to choose among these military academies before deciding who to send to fight.
Of course, when Zhao Yun made these decisions, he did not expect that the Emperor Liu Association issued an edict to him again...
