The Wuxi Protectorate must discuss with the leaders of each tribe and formulate autonomous laws while respecting tribal customs. ≮ Read the full text

Since then, Wuxi has completely become a tribe surrendered to the Sichuan Army. Except for the village chiefs and cave masters who have become pavilion chiefs and township chiefs and flag masters, and still hold a Han seal ribbon in their hands, which is a bit uncomfortable, the other barbarians are very happy, at least.
Two problems have been solved, the first is the food problem, and the second is the threat of the South Central Barbarians.
Huang Yueying's entire barbaric promotion system was enacted in Wuxi. All Wuxi warriors, regardless of whether they are village leaders or not, as long as they have military merit, can be promoted and receive rewards. Those who join the Sichuan army can obtain the rank of general and stay in the barbarian army.
, you can also obtain the Barbarian Lord.
After Liu Zhang discussed with Ye Tie and other leaders, Ye Tie personally went to the valley to persuade Bao Jin that Wuxi was the bravest tribe in Wuxi, but the tribe with the fewest members, and the three thousand barbarians were still in the hands of the Han.
.
Baojin didn't feel any pain in his heart, but the other barbarian tribes had agreed, and Wuxi couldn't support it any longer. He could only hope that after forming an alliance, he could get the three thousand tribes back.
The Sichuan army withdrew, and after the barbarians accepted the reward, they went to their respective divisions. They watched the barbarian army retreat to the mountain and said to Liu Zhang, "What if these barbarians regret it?"
Xiao Furong glared at Hu Che'er fiercely, then shut up, and slapped Hu Che'er in the face: "Aren't you a barbarian?" Xiao Furong glared at Hu Che'er fiercely, but couldn't say a word.
Liu Zhang said: "Wuxi has always valued trust and will not regret it. Moreover, Wuxi's fundamental problem, food, has not yet been solved."
Liu Zhang turned to look at Xiao Furong and said, "Rong'er, it's all thanks to you this time."
Xiao Furong shook her head vigorously: "As long as you don't fight, everything I do will be fine." Only at this moment, Xiao Furong felt at ease.
Liu Zhang nodded and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, you have been working hard recently. We have three things to do urgently. The first is to establish the Wuxi Protectorate. There is no need to rush the other details. There are two main things.
One thing is to establish the frontier army in Samoko, which is a guarantee to maintain order, and then encourage those barbarians who are willing to go down the mountain and those who join the army, and try to get them to go down the mountain.
Those who don't want to go down the mountain are also sent to guide farming and bring more seeds up. How many days have you
I will try my best to handle these things with Fuling’s civil and military forces.”
"Yes." Fazheng agreed, although he was flat.
I don't take care of government affairs very much, but at critical moments, Fa Zheng can still distinguish the important and the important.
"Why must those barbarians enter farming and have border troops with Samoko? Aren't they already able to control the Five Streams?" Deng Zhi asked puzzledly. In fact, he cultivated or stationed his own army in the conquered areas to deter the barbarians.
, is also a common practice among Han immigrants.
Fazheng smiled softly, turned to Xiao Furong and said: "Furu, in front of you, we will not hide the treaty with Wuxi this time. As long as we do not impose harsh policies on Wuxi, Wuxi will basically be subordinate to the Sichuan Army.
.
The border troops of Samoko are rotated every two years, and the generals of Wuxi are replaced every four years. Moreover, the food and wages are all in our hands, so they are basically unable to rebel. Although the banners of other autonomous townships are still led by those who entered,
But they all need a seal issued by us.
And we provide an opportunity for barbarians to be promoted to generals of Han Dynasty, which is much more binding than the previous Dongzhai.
As for General Deng’s question about why we need to cultivate land, the farming people are all settled and have their own immovable properties, so it is much easier to rule. This is the reason why farming is encouraged. We have used some means in the policy towards Wuxi and asked Husband to
Don’t mind if you come in.”
Xiao Furong shook her head and said: "Didn't I just say it before? The premise is that Wuxi is not harshly controlled, which can be regarded as a benefit to Wuxi. Wuxi people hunt all year round and don't have enough to eat. If they can enter farming, like Han people,
At least we have enough food and clothing, and less of our clan members are killed by wild beasts.
My husband said that the first year of supplies will be tax-free for the next two to four years, which is already very good. Under my husband's governance, our Wuxi du1i may not be better than being subordinate to the Sichuan Army."
Fa Zheng smiled. From the beginning, he just felt that Xiao Furong could not become Liu Zhang's wife because of her status, but it was nothing in itself. But now, Fa Zheng is aware that Xiao Furong is becoming more and more like a big woman.
, although he is still not as good as Huang Yue in this aspect, he can already be a good husband to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang said: "Methods have been used, but these are only restricting Wuxi from the system. The most important thing is to allow Wuxi people to enter and understand the benefits of this system.
First, solve the food problem of the barbarians. The barbarians who go down to cultivate the fields will be provided with food on a monthly basis. The barbarians in the mountains will be appropriately rationed by the Wuxi Protectorate.
Let them know that if they follow our Sichuan Army, they will be able to make great achievements in the future and accomplish great things that they did not dare to think of before.
In addition, the terrain of Wuxi is more dangerous than other places. I am afraid that it will be difficult to carry out farming. The people are strong and have the least contact with the Han immigrants. It is difficult to get a response if we let them go down the mountain. We have to choose a place to start and set an example. I think this is the choice.
In this place, I will personally guide them in farming."
Fazheng listened well at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he was shocked: "My lord, we can just leave the matter of instructing the barbarians to reclaim land to the Wuxi Protectorate. Why should my lord take care of this kind of thing?"
The Wuxi Mountains are very dangerous, and they are full of uncivilized barbarians, so there are many dangers."
"Huh!" Liu Zhang let out a long breath and watched the Wuxi barbarians retreating and gradually disappearing into the jungle. He said to Fa Zheng: "The biggest obstacle for the barbarians to join me and the Han people to join us is actually the fear that the Han people will discriminate against them.
None of these people, who have fought for survival every day, don't want to live a good life, but they have always been ostracized by the Han. They have a sense of distrust towards the Han since they were young, so there is a deep gap between them.
If I can go to Wuxi in person this time, I believe that this gap will be eliminated. Otherwise, Wuxi people will be wary of the Han invasion, and all policies will be just a formality."
Liu Zhang came from a later generation, so he had no prejudice against the barbarians existing on Chinese territory. He was indeed trying with a co-prosperity mentality. He hoped that the Wuxi barbarians could completely integrate with the Han people. Even if they could not completely integrate, at least let them get used to what Liu Zhang had given them.
The white spoon system gives them a sense of belonging to the Sichuan Army.
This is the long-term solution.
Otherwise, oppression and systems alone cannot last long.
...... The Wuxi barbarians returned to the mountains and did not break the promise. Except for Wuxi, which lost a large number of young men, other tribes raised 10,000 yuan, and were led by Shamoke to establish the Wuxi Protectorate Military Office to garrison Wuxi and Wuxi.
Chenxi border.
The rest of the barbarians disarmed and returned to the mountains, and the Wenfu of Wuxi Protectorate was established. They led the civil servants and recruited Han people and farm tools into the mountains to go to the barbarian lands with many entrances.
Civilian propaganda encouraged the barbarians to move to the mountains. Under the temptation of food distribution, many barbarian families who were hungry left their homeland in tears, dragging their families and their families down to the mountains with Han officials.
For the rest who do not want to leave their homeland, farmers will guide them in cultivating their fields. It is not yet the season for raising seedlings, so they will first guide them in planting some seasonal vegetables and diverting water to irrigate their fields.
The five streams all rely on water sources. As long as some canals are dug nearby, there will be ready-made fertile farmland. The Han Dynasty first taught these barbarians to plow the fields, plow the fields, then burn a large number of trees, and sprinkle wood ash and dung into the fields to protect the fields.
When the time comes for seedlings to be raised, there will naturally be good fields.
Two months later, when the season for raising seedlings arrived, the cone shape of the Wuxi Protectorate was also established. The military mansion was mature and the Wenfu was able to complete basic work. Although there were constant frictions during the contact with the barbarians, the military mansion was still intact.
With the support of the government and the cooperation of the barbarian leaders, nothing major happened.
During this relatively stable period, which was also the most critical period, Liu Zhang led his soldiers into the Wuxi jungle and arrived at Baojin's Wuxi tribe.
Wu Xi didn't even expect that Liu Zhang, the majestic uncle and the Han general Shu Hou, would penetrate deep into the mountains. They were all shocked. Bao Jin didn't expect at all. If you want to know the Wuxi tribe, Wuxi is the least.
Convinced and most hostile, Liu Zhang chose this place. When Bao Jin heard the news, he almost couldn't believe it.
Liu Zhang's move made Wuxiru see Liu Zhang's sincerity. It is not that the Han Dynasty had never conquered these places before, but after they conquered it, they just levied grain and brought in troops. Apart from the deterrence of force, no other measures were taken at all, let alone high officials.
Enter the mountains yourself.
Therefore, once the Han Dynasty declined or its military power was no longer strong, the barbarians immediately rebelled.
The Youxi tribe, which already had a good impression of Liu Zhang, and the barbarian soldiers who had fought with the Sichuan army increased their trust.
Other barbarians who were still wary of the arrival of the Han invaders have seen that the Han invaders have been relatively polite in the past two months. Although some barbarians who stubbornly resisted have been arrested, they have not behaved like conquerors and superiors.
When the attitude appeared, he slowly began to accept it.
.........Wuxi, a tributary of the now-defunct Yuan River, is located in Hunan. It was adjacent to Wuling during the Three Kingdoms period, so Wuxi was invaded by barbarians and was the first to invade Wuling.
In the Wuxi area, there are about 30,000 entrances. They are distributed in the vast Wuxi territory. There are hundreds of large and small caves. Three or four ethnic groups basically live in groups and rarely live alone.
Liu Zhang and his soldiers finally arrived at Wuxi after a difficult journey. It was just like the previous expedition to Wuling. However, this time the Wuxi River along the way was no longer bound by iron smelting, but was wary and afraid of the incoming Sichuan army.
.
Especially when they arrived in the Wuxi area, the barbarians retreated one after another. The sparse villages closed their doors tightly, and stood on the wooden buildings with javelins, bones, bows and arrows, and watched the Sichuan troops warily.
However, the Han army entered with more than 3,000 troops, all lightly armored with short guns, carrying crossbows and swords, and fully equipped. These villages did not dare to invade. Under the guidance of the guide, they quickly arrived safely ten miles away from the main village of Wuxi.
Outside, at this moment a barbarian came running from a small road.
"Crow, Ya Da Ha, Horobdu."
Manru was gesticulating in agreement, and the guide said to Liu Zhang: "General, this is the Yi people you often call Kunming. He said that in front of him is the place where Wuxi Tu Village gathers. Everyone is very disgusted with the Han people. Please
We're waiting here."
"Waiting? What are you waiting for?" Hao Sheng said with bulging eyes. When he came here, he felt that the mountains were more friendly, as if he had gone home. He just wanted to enter the hinterland of Wuxi as soon as possible, but he couldn't bear to wait.
Liu Zhang scolded him and said: "Just wait when I tell you to wait, there is so much nonsense."
Liu Zhang ordered them to rest where they were.
......... At Wuxi Dazhai, Huahai'er said to Baojin: "Lord, Liu Zhang is really here, what should I do? It's really hateful for the Han to seize my clan. Do you want to bring him in for an ambush? Although the Han army is powerful,
The mountains here are dangerous, but we all died young."
"Nonsense." Bao Jin scolded: "Let's not talk about what Liu Zhang brought this time. At least a thousand people are from Wuxi and Nanzhong barbarians, as well as some Qiang people. It may not be difficult to get these people in mountain warfare.
As soon as we start a war, we will become enemies of the Han invaders, and Samoko's army will be able to kill them in three days.
What's more, we, Wu Xi, are dishonest people? Since I agreed to Liu Zhang's conditions, as long as Liu Zhang abides by the agreement and does not bully our people, I will not go back on my words. I, Wu Xi, would rather die than betray my faith.
Speaking of which, Liu Zhang is really a good man. He dared to enter Wuxi. At least this makes me admire him, so I went to greet him."
Baojin led the leader of Wuxi out of the village, and a man slid down a hillside and turned several somersaults to reach Baojin.
"It's not good, my lord. We found some traces of Han invaders and sneaked up the mountain through some trails. We don't know the number of them, but they are definitely indispensable."
Hua Boyer's expression twisted, and he immediately said angrily: "Lord, this must be Liu Zhang's plan. He secretly sent people into the mountains to destroy us. We should take action immediately to kill Liu Zhang to eliminate future troubles."
"Lord, if the Han invaders are deceitful, strike first to gain the upper hand."
"That's it, let me kill Liu Zhang and take his head off."
All the Wuxi barbarians were jumping into the palace with a ferocious aura, and they were all brave and fearless of death.
"Han invasion?" Bao Jin pondered for a moment, then hummed softly, "It's a good time."
"Then let's go and arrange it immediately." Hua Hai'er said as he was about to take him away. Bao Jin grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive. This Han influx is coming. If it's Liu Zhang's intrusion and wants to wipe out us, that's fine.
"
Bao Jin smiled disdainfully and said: "If Liu Zhang dares to attack us, it will be a betrayal of his trust. The whole Wuxi will not sit idly by and ignore it. When the time comes, I want Liu Zhang to steal the chicken but not the rice, and I, Wuxi, will be able to get rid of it openly."
Control of the Han Invasion.”
Bao Jin said, and said to Hua Hai'er in a cold voice: "Go ahead and pretend not to notice the approaching Han invaders, and you are not allowed to do anything wrong to Liu Zhang. Anyone who violates this will be punished by fire."
Mountains of swords and seas of fire were the highest punishment in Wuxi. Huahai'er frowned and declared "yes".
"Liu Zhang, if you dare to have evil intentions, I will crush your bones and spread your ashes." Bao Jin said in a deep voice.
.........Liu Zhang and the Sichuan army only waited at the spot for half an hour before Baojin came in with all the barbarians to greet him. They all had smiles on their faces and were very enthusiastic.
Baojin stepped forward and paid homage to Liu Zhang: "The leader of the Wuxi Banner conferred Baojin to pay homage to the general. I am late to welcome you. Please forgive me for being late."
Hu Che'er saw the smile on Bao Jin's face and whispered in Liu Zhang's ear: "Master, this guy must have a conspiracy."
Liu Zhang nodded. He also felt that it was unusual for Bao Jin to be so charming and smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, but he did not make a sound.
Liu Zhang didn't quite believe that Baojin would be detrimental to him. He specially brought a thousand barbarian troops with him this time. If Baojin was detrimental to him, there would be no problem in holding on for two or three days. Samoko would definitely lead his army to kill Wu.
The Wuxi tribe has betrayed its trust, and the other Wuxi tribes cannot cross it. The Wuxi tribe will definitely eliminate all doubts.
"Flag Master, you're welcome." Liu Zhang said, Baojin took the lead to open the way, followed by the leader of Manru. The group entered the hinterland of Wuxi along the rugged mountain road. Along the way, under Baojin's order, Manzhai opened its gate to welcome Liu Zhang, but
These Yi and Miao people looked numbly at the Han army without a welcoming smile.
As soon as Liu Zhang entered Wuxi, he felt as if he had entered Jiuzhaigou. Moreover, there were no tourists in Jiuzhaigou. It was full of green water and green mountains, Yi and Miao cottages, and clusters of bamboo and wooden buildings.
There were sheep grazing, and a Yi girl picking wild vegetables in the mountains stood up from the green grass and stopped to look back at the Yi man wearing a headscarf.
A clear river rushes through the ravine between the two mountains and merges into the Wuxi River at the foot of the mountain. Mountain paths and unexplored primitive scenery. Compared with the dangerous mountains and rivers before, this place is like a hidden place.
A fairyland in the middle of dangerous mountains and rivers.
"It's very beautiful here." Liu Zhang sighed.
Everyone likes to praise their hometown, and Baojin is no exception. Just as he was about to reply, the person behind him said in a very powerful way: "It's so beautiful, not half as beautiful as my hometown."
Bao Jin's words were choked in his throat.
A large village is in sight in the distance. That large village is obviously larger than the other scattered villages. It is obviously Baojin's village. As we get to the village gate, the road becomes wider. On the road ahead, two rows of Wuxi warriors stand neatly.
Just when Liu Zhang was about to step in, two rows of warriors suddenly raised their weapons, raised their swords and guns simultaneously, and shouted loudly. The soldiers were startled, and they immediately held their guns with both hands and made a posture to meet the enemy.
Liu Zhang looked at the barbarians in front of him who were brandishing swords and guns, and knocking on each other from time to time, making metal sounds. He knew that these ethnic minorities had some strange rules. No matter how bad Wuxi was, there was no way that two rows of people would be disadvantageous to him.
Liu Zhang raised his hand, and Wang Xu hesitated and said loudly: "The Wuxi warriors are our friends, put away your weapons." All the soldiers put away their short guns and looked at these Wuxi warriors with vigilance.
Baojin led Liu Zhang into the middle of the two rows of warriors, still admiring Liu Zhang's courage. These two rows of warriors were used by the Yi people to scare the Han people.
Many times in history, the southwestern Yi people were conquered and Han officials entered the Yi territory. They were frightened by the formation, fearing that warriors on both sides would swarm them.
Not only did Liu Zhang dare to lead his own soldiers deep into Wuxi, he was also considered a hero without changing his face when facing this warrior. Bao Jin thought to himself, no wonder Liu Zhang was able to conquer such a large area and repeatedly defeated his opponents. It was not without reason, but...
If you want to harm me, Wu Xi, you have made the wrong idea.
When Liu Zhang arrived at Manzhai, a barbarian came over with a wild duck and stood in front of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang looked at Baojin in confusion. Baojin smiled and said: "The general of the Han Dynasty has come to Wuxi to make my village full of glory."
, how could we not entertain the general well?
It’s just that we in Wuxi have a rule. All warriors eat must be prey killed by themselves, and they cannot use swords. This is called hunting animals. We believe that this can ensure that the warriors will not lose their courage. Haha, of course." Bao Jin
He smiled and said: "The general has a distinguished status, so he can also directly order the food to be served."≮≯
