Chapter 660: Blood Eagle
Wei Zheng told Luo Cheng that during the months of his expedition, about 100,000 new people had been added to Andong Dao.
"Most of them took refuge in Kannai, many of them came by boat directly from the coast, and many of them were family members of the soldiers we brought with us. Some guys not only brought their parents, wives and children, but also their brothers, and some even brought in the whole family. ”
"This is a good thing, it shows that our soldiers have a sense of identity with Guanwai, and they think that there is more future and hope here, so they will recruit friends and let the whole big family come over, which is a good thing."
Luo Cheng was very happy to hear such news, if the Central Plains was stable, how many people would be willing to come to this wilderness? It is precisely because of the turmoil in the Central Plains that it is rare to be stable outside the pass, coupled with the land grant promoted by Luo Cheng here, so that countless people who have no land in the Central Plains and are worried about turmoil are willing to come.
"I also brought 100,000 Turkic prisoners of war back to be Tuntian slaves this time, and our population is probably almost 1.5 million, and we can finally gain a foothold in Liaodong."
Population is the foundation of everything, and without population, there can be nothing else. Especially in troubled times, population is actually the most valuable resource, not only as a farmer who farms the land, but also a craftsman who makes tools, or a soldier who fights a war.
"100,000 Turkic captives, you want to make them all tuntian slaves?"
"Of course, they are the defeated, or the defeated after the invasion, and the end will naturally only come to my Anton to be a Tuntian slave, otherwise, I will have to invite them to be the master?"
didn't directly listen to Yun Dingxing's all cut down under the Great Wall to make Jingguan, even if it was merciful to them.
"So many Turks are just afraid that it will be difficult to manage."
"What is there, all of them are disorganized, we now have a population of more than a million people, just these 100,000 Turks, are you afraid that you will not be able to manage it? On average, a dozen people will never have a problem staring at a Turk. ”
In Luo Cheng's view, the key to controlling these Turkic captives is not to let them gather together. Even if you are a slave in Tuntian, you have to be disrupted and separated.
On the other hand, you have to give them a little hope.
For example, stipulating that they must be tuntian slaves for ten years is equivalent to ten years of labor reform. But if you perform well, you can be rewarded. The most important reward is to give them a commutation of their sentence every year, and at the end of the year, if they perform well, they can be rewarded with a reduction of one month of tuntian's time, or two months and three months, so that those who perform very well may be exempted as long as they have completed six or seven years in tuntian.
They will also be given a piece of land and become a yeoman farmer, or a salaried pasture herder, or they will be given a piece of pasture so that they can graze.
In short, if you work hard, you have a future and hope.
Of course, if you don't do it well, there will definitely be punishments, such as whipping, sending to the mines, or even direct execution.
Wei Zheng said, "After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the implementation of the national field system together with the feudal system, at that time, the feudal princes, the princes' territory was Yicheng, and the great princes would have multiple cities, among which the princes were called the country, and the people who could be qualified to live in the country were generally the princes' scholars, soldiers, etc. In other cities, the people who lived were mainly the children of the small clans that the princes multiplied and spread. ”
"The people who live in the kingdom and the city are the people, and the people who live outside the city are savages, and they are all human beings, and the slaves are even lower in status and are not human beings."
Wei Zheng felt that the various policies implemented by Luo Cheng in Andong Province were actually somewhat similar to the set of feudal and national field systems implemented by Zhou Liguo after the establishment of the country.
Luo Cheng established many cities, military towns, fortresses, and tunzhuang on the basis of the government soldiers in Andong, and the government soldiers were qualified to grant land and land, own grange estate, and even own slaves.
These government soldiers, even if they are the feudal princes under the command of Luo Cheng, the envoy of Andong Daojiedu, and the relatives and clans recruited by these government soldiers can also divide the land and grant land after coming to Anton, but they do not have as many privileges as the government soldiers.
Then these people can be regarded as Chinese people.
"Is it a feudal system and a national system?" Luo Cheng smiled, "I think it's actually very good, when Zhou established the country, the place he could really control was actually only a very small piece, although he divided countless princes, but in fact, these princes went to the fiefdom, and there were countless barbarian enemies around, they built a city to collect cities, in fact, out of the city is the enemy, so each mining city is also a fortress stronghold for military expansion." They had to defend the fortress, and they had to find a way to defeat the surrounding enemies and expand outward, so that they could build a new city after city, divide their clans, and expand their power. ”
"Some of the princes who were divided into Zhou back then, such as Qi, Lu, Yan, Zhao, etc., expanded countless territories, but there were also many princes surnamed Ji in the Hanshui Valley, and finally died and the country was destroyed."
As for the national field system, the Chinese people are actually equivalent to the citizens of Rome and enjoy the right of citizenship, such as being able to be a soldier, but ordinary people are not qualified to be soldiers. Being a soldier means having political power, having a path to ascent, getting spoils of war through war, being rewarded, and being able to get official positions.
And the wildlings do not have these powers, not even the right to live in the city.
However, individually, the Chinese are not nobles, and their individuals do not have any privileges for savages, nor are they superior. But this class of Chinese savage slaves was also extremely advanced at that time.
Luo Cheng is just a military town marshal, he has no power to divide the feudals, but he is indeed implementing a lot of policies through some of his official powers, which makes Andong Dao and the Central Plains a little different.
And now, these differences are greatly attracting the people of the Central Plains in turmoil.
Then.
A white horse came over.
"Marshal, here's a letter from the Blood Eagle for you."
When Luo Cheng heard this, his brows furrowed, "Bring it." ”
Blood Eagle, Blood Eagle.
When the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army are recruited, they will tattoo a blood eagle on their arms. However, Luo Cheng's Blood Eagle Letter has nothing to do with this, Luo Cheng has two intelligence forces under him, one is Zhang Liang's secret guard, and the other is Wang Junkuo's shadow guard.
Among them, Zhang Liang's dark guard is codenamed Night Stalker, and Wang Junkuo's shadow guard is codenamed Blood Eagle.
The Blood Eagle letter is that the shadow guard has sent important information.
When he opened the letter, the more Luo Cheng looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.
This letter was a secret letter, but it had already been translated for him by Hakuba Yoshiko.
"Dashuai, what happened?" Wei Zheng asked.
Luo Cheng sighed.
"My teacher Zhang Shuai was defeated, Daihai Temple was defeated by Li Mi, 10,000 horses and horses were wiped out, even Runpu's father Jia Juncheng was also killed in battle, Zhang Shuai was seriously injured, but fortunately he was found and rescued by Wang Junkuo's people, and now he has been sent to Qi County. Wang Junkuo originally wanted to send him to Liaodong, but Zhang Shuai refused to come, saying that he would recruit soldiers and horses in Qi County to fight against the rebels. ”
"Even Zhang Shuai was defeated? It seems that Li Mi has really become a trend! Wei Zheng was surprised.
"Dashuai, we have to speed up, otherwise I'm afraid that before we get out, this Central Plains will be completely chaotic."
