In the face of Chen Xu's eager inquiry, Jia Xu said: "My lord, the reason why it is difficult to calm down the Qiang troubles is because they are scattered all over the country, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to exterminate them one by one. ”

However, for more than 100 years, the Qiang people have rebelled, making the people of Liangzhou live in dire straits. The killing and looting made the Han people in the territory full of hatred for the Qiang people. ”

"If the lord can make good use of the hatred of the people, and there is no need to use a single soldier, the Qiang people in the territory will definitely be ambushed all over the field."

Wen Zhao hurriedly said: "I want to hear about it!" ”

Jia Xu paused slightly, and suddenly asked: "Does the lord know why the Qin army was so powerful during the Warring States Period, and it was able to rise from a wild land, but it swept the world?" ”

Wen Zhao was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "The Qin people have been fighting against Xirong for hundreds of years, which makes the Qin army extremely strong in combat and not afraid of life and death. ”

Jia Xu nodded and shook his head again.

"Although the Qin people are fierce, but before Shang Ying changed the law, they could only shrink into the Qin land, struggling to survive. It was the emergence of the 'military merit award' system that made the Qin people fearless of death in order to get the title reward. ”

"Military merit knighthood?"

Jia Xu bowed his head slightly and said, "Not bad." ”

He didn't wait for Wen Zhao to answer, and continued: "Liangzhou has been war-torn for a long time, and the people are extremely strong, plus they are extremely hostile to the Qiang people; As long as the Lord knows the righteousness and moves it to benefit, then the nearly one million Han people in Liangzhou are all sharp blades in the hands of the Lord? ”

When Jia Xu said this, Wen Zhao's heart moved, and he said, "Please also ask the military advisor to inform me in detail." ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "The lord can issue the 'Qiang Killing Order' in the name of the Son of Heaven." and issued a decree: Anyone who has to kill the head of the Qiang people, regardless of status, regardless of wealth, wealth, poverty, and poverty, can be knighted. ”

Jia Xu wanted to start the system of awarding military merits to the Qin State and encourage the common people to hunt and kill the Qiang people.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin Law formulated by Shang Ying stipulated: Anyone who can behead the enemy can obtain the first level of knighthood, and the corresponding field house and concubine, can also be an official.

The lowest rank of the twentieth rank is the 'duke', and although the duke is also a knighthood, the people with this rank are still required to serve, and their status is only slightly superior to that of the unknighted commoners.

Rao is like this, there are still many ordinary people with lowly status who are willing to go crazy for this title.

What's more, the more heads of the enemy you kill, the higher the title you get. If you can behead five enemies, you can also enlist five subordinate ministers.

The military merit knighthood system formulated by Jia Xu has changed slightly compared with the policy of the Qin State. The military merits of the Qin State were conferred, and the soldiers had to personally kill the enemy's head before they could be exchanged for the title.

However, Jia Xu believes that as long as someone can get the head of the Qiang people, they can be knighted for merit.

Jia Xu explained it like this: Nowadays, there are countless Han people of all sizes in Liangzhou, and there are even many local heroes and powerful people, and they also have strong armed forces.

When the 'Qiang Killing Order' was promulgated, there were certainly some rogues and heroes who wanted to get the title and would try their best to hunt down the Qiang. Even a large number of people will hunt the Qiang people for the title.

However, not everyone is interested in a knighthood, and some may just be greedy for money.

The government only recognizes the method of the Qiang people's heads, but it can allow some wealthy Liangzhou wealthy families to use their money to buy the heads of the Qiang people. In this way, more people will be mobilized to hunt down the Qiang.

Hearing this, Wen Zhao frowned and said: "Although Wen He's plan is wonderful, but the government only recognizes the heads of the Qiang people, will it cause the Han people to hunt each other in order to compete for the heads?" ”

Chen Xu's worries are not groundless, if the Qiang head can be exchanged for titles and money, some people who have worked hard to hunt down to the Qiang head are likely to be robbed by others.

In this way, the Han people killed each other for the Qiang people's heads, but it was not something that Chen Xu wanted to see.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "The lord can then issue a ban, and the Qiang heads can be bought and sold, exchanged, but they can't snatch each other. If this prohibition is violated, not only will you not be able to exchange the Qiang head for a reward in the government, but you will be wanted by the government. ”

Although the Qiang people are scattered, they are also gathered together according to the tribe, and they are not a weak force. Even if the people wanted to hunt the Qiang, they could only call friends and gather the children of the clan to hunt together.

The gathered people, their strength is even greater than that of the small Qiang tribe. Even if some people have bad intentions and want to snatch the Qiang heads in the hands of the rest of the Han people, they must also weigh the gains and losses.

What's more, if the matter is revealed, not only will the Qiang head in his hand be useless, but he will even be wanted by the government. Comparatively speaking, it will be easier to hunt those small Qiang tribes.

Thinking about this, Wen Zhao suddenly realized. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the situation when the Wuhu was chaotic.

After the Western Jin Dynasty passed through the Eight Kings, the national strength was extremely weakened. The five nomadic tribes of the Huns, Xianbei, Xia, Qiang, and Di led their troops to occupy the Central Plains.

The Hu people established a state in the Central Plains and wantonly slaughtered the Han people, resulting in the desolation of the north, the migration of clothes to the south, the Hu Di everywhere, and the children of the Han family were almost slaughtered.

At the moment when the Han people were about to lose their country and extinct the species, Ran Min was born and issued the 'Hu Killing Order' that shocked the world.

The appearance of the 'Kill Hu Order' completely aroused the hatred of the Hu people buried in the hearts of the Han people. For a time, the smoke of gunfire rose again in the northern land, and all those with high noses and beards were slaughtered.

The Han people and the Hu people are even more 'no moon and no war', and corpses are everywhere. Millions of Di, Qiang, Hu, and barbarians in Qingzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, Jingzhou and other places were powerless in the face of the bloody revenge of the Han people, so they had to move away from the Central Plains and return to their homeland.

On the way back to their hometowns, there is a good chance that the Hu people who died of hunger, disease, killed each other, and attacked and died.

Under the direct or indirect influence of the 'Hu Killing Order', millions of Hu civilians such as the Xiongnu, Xiongnu, Qiang, and Di were wiped out, and nearly a million Hu soldiers were killed. The most slaughtered Qiang people either migrated or were slaughtered, and basically became extinct in the Central Plains.

For a time, the Hu people in the Central Plains almost disappeared.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Ran family followed Chen Wu's 'beggar army' to fight against the Hu people. Later, due to being outnumbered, he was defeated by Shi Le, a subordinate of Liu Yuan, and temporarily surrendered.

After Ran Zhan died, he left behind his son Ran Min. The tiger father has no dogs, Ran Min was bold and brave when he was young, inherited all the advantages of his father, and made the tyrant Shi Hu very fond of him, and raised Ran Min as his own grandson.

Ran Min is eight feet long, brave and 'good at strategy', a peerless general, and an unborn military wizard.

When he grew up, he made many miraculous achievements, and participated in the suppression of the rebellions of the Dingling, Wuhuan, Fuyu and other tribes in the north many times, and his prestige grew. Because of his victory in a hundred battles, his bravery, and his penchant for killing Hu people, Ran Min's name made the Hu generals change color when they heard it.

After Shi Hu's death, Hou Zhao, which was established by the Qian clan, finally could not tolerate Ran Min. It made Ran Min determined to help the Han people do their best to eliminate the Hu people, so as to fulfill Chen Wu's last wish.

As a result, Ran Min promulgated the famous 'Hu Killing Order'.

Chen Xu didn't know the details of Ran Min's 'killing order'. However, Jia Xu's strategy to him is strikingly similar to the 'Hu Killing Order' in later generations.

In Liangzhou now, although there are many Qiang people, there are still many Han people.

Compared with Ran Min's time, only four million Han people were slaughtered in the entire Central Plains, and now the Han people still occupy an absolute numerical advantage.

Chen Xu believes that the emergence of the 'Qiang Killing Order' will be a catastrophe for the Qiang people.

Subsequently, Wen Zhao accepted Jia Xu's strategy and issued the 'Qiang Killing Order' in the name of the Son of Heaven, and the world was shocked.

The content of the Qiang killing order is as follows: Since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the Qiang people have been greedy, cunning and ruthless, and have repeatedly surrendered and rebelled. The Qiang people killed my people, took away my ancestral temple, destroyed my fields, and fornicated my wives and daughters. Today, by the edict of the Son of Heaven, an edict was issued to ask for it.

Those who offend my Han people will die, and those who insult my Han people will die. Inside and outside, regardless of men, women, old and young, those who rebel against the court are beheaded; Those who insult the Han people are beheaded; Those who occupy my land are beheaded; Those who dare to call weapons will be beheaded.

Under the whole world, all my people should take it as their responsibility to kill all the Qiang people in the world and end the war in Liangzhou. All my compatriots have the obligation to slaughter the Qiang captives and recover Liangzhou.

May the people of the world work with the officers and soldiers with one heart and one mind to slaughter the Qiang captives and restore their homeland. Anyone who obtains the head of a Qiang person, regardless of origin, regardless of whether he is high or low, can obtain the title of the imperial court.

Chen Xu is not talented, he is the general of the dynasty, and he is specially announced to the world by the edict of the Son of Heaven and the wishes of all the people.

Sure enough, due to the appearance of the 'Qiang Killing Order', Liangzhou shook, the Qiang people shook, and the world shook. Different from the anger of the Qiang people, the people of Liangzhou were all overjoyed when they saw this edict.

A large number of Han people in Liangzhou, whether for the title or because of their hatred of the Qiang people, gathered together to find the rebellious Qiang people as targets.

As Jia Xu expected, not only the people of Liangzhou, but also many bandits and rogues were also moved by the 'knighthood regardless of their background' and became ready to move.

However, although the edict was written like this, these bandits and rogues entrenched in Liangzhou still had some doubts in their hearts, and the vast majority of them were on the sidelines.

Unlike these bandits and rogues, the Haoqiang, the big clans, and the Si Li right Fufeng in Liangzhou are all crazy.

Especially those powerful families, although they can call the wind and rain in the local area, their official positions and titles have always been their hard injuries.

Now that they finally have a chance to get a knighthood, how can they not seize the opportunity? Although this title cannot be hereditary, it is enough for many powerful families to go crazy.

The appearance of the edict caused all the counties inhabited by the Qiang people to be filled with gunsmoke. For a time, whether it was in the deserted wilderness or in the city, the headless corpses of the Qiang people could be seen.

Even, as the hurricane blew bigger and bigger, many small Qiang tribes, regardless of men, women, and children, were slaughtered.
