Chapter 25: You Don't Understand

Shuaifu, Xu calmly listened to Chong Shiheng talk about the situation of various clans visiting protons in the past few days, and nodded occasionally. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After Chong Shiheng finished speaking, Xu Ping asked: "This is also the first time in Qinzhou, is there anything special?" ”

Chong Shiheng hesitated for a moment before he said: "I heard from some people under his subordinates that the court is now too generous to the protons in Qinzhou City, which makes many clan accounts feel uneasy. These protons were given names, and they were literate and literate, and they learned the etiquette of the Han family, and once the court let them back to the clan, the clan lord would not be able to take care of them. - Marshal, forgive the presumptuousness, in my opinion, the marshal is so worried about these protons, I am afraid that he really has the intention of putting them back to fight for power. This will indeed be of some benefit to the imperial court, but it is more likely to cause unease in the territory of Qinzhou, and don't cause trouble. Now that the party has betrayed, it has shaken the morale of the fallen army-"

Xu Ping looked at Chong Shiheng and suddenly smiled: "How do you know that I want these protons to go back and fight for power?" ”

If not, why bother with them? The Qiang have their own customs, and they are the ones who are. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "General judgment, it's not right for you to think like this." Our land and my people, we shepherd one side on behalf of the court, so we should educate the people under our rule and guide people to goodness. Even if it is a fall, it is also a common person under the rule of the imperial court, and it should not be outside the country. Let them follow the habits of their own clan, and the clan leader will govern things, but it is just an expedient measure that has no choice but to do so. Whenever possible, it is necessary to educate and change customs. I don't have that much power, I must do things that are beneficial, and I don't do things that are not beneficial. These protons, now let them read and write, train the army to discipline, and change their customs, just let them really be the people under the rule of the imperial court. Unless the account of the Qiang tribe is invited, the Shuai Mansion will not let them return to the clan, so let them be good people in Qinzhou. ”

Chong Shiheng couldn't help but be stunned, and after a long while, he said: "If the festival commander thinks like this, then why bother with so much effort?" Let these protons stay in the Naqin courtyard as before, in addition to spending some money and food, how much trouble will be saved! ”

Xu Ping said: "Don't be afraid of trouble as an official, just think about relaxation, it's better to go home and be a rich and noble officer!" We are the second governor of Qin, and there is an exhortation to the people in the ministry given by the imperial court, how can we not do it? Under the rule of Qinzhou, there are many people's hearts, and we can't do it for the time being, but these protons can do it. Think big, start small, and make a judgment, this matter has nothing to do with Fanluo, it is just that Qinzhou has changed to Xia since the proton. Meng Ziyun only heard of those who used Xia to change to raze, but did not hear of those who changed to raze. The land west of the river and the river has been Han land for thousands of years, and the summer has changed in Yi for more than 100 years, and it has not been heard of in ancient times. It is necessary to change raze into summer, because the virtue of the summer gentleman, the virtue of the vulgar villain, the virtue of the gentleman, the virtue of the villain, and the wind through the grass. In the end, whether we can do it in the summer or not, these protons will set an example first. ”

Chong Shiheng didn't know whether what Xu Ping said was true or false, and he didn't know what to say for a while. In his impression, Xu Ping is not a rotten Confucian who only reads the books of sages, the principles in the books are useful if they are useful, and if they are useless, they should not have seen it, how can they really use Confucian principles to govern the place this time.

But I didn't know that Xu Ping was going to change the raze to Xia in the west of the Hehuang River, not to say it, but to really do it. It can only be an expedient measure for the imperial court, otherwise it is not counted as throwing away all the land developed by the early Tang Dynasty in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and also taking a large number of Han lands from ancient times on the original frontier, which is an example. Hehuang and Hexi in the northwest, Youyan, Liaozhou, Yingzhou in the northeast, and even the northern part of Hedong, have been Han land since before the Qin and Han dynasties, and have been completely Hu by the end of the Tang Dynasty. Hundreds of miles southwest of Qinzhou is the place where Qin made his fortune, but at this time it was already the hinterland of Fanqiang.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the policy of the surrounding Yidi was to "put it outside the degree, and not to talk about it", and the land outside the country was not under the rule of the Son of Heaven, and Fanqiang was also not the people of the Son of Heaven, so it was okay to maintain a nominal orthodoxy. The rebellion of the party illustrates the dangers of such a policy, and as soon as conditions permit, these foreign places become a serious problem for the imperial court. In the past, the war between Zhao Jiqian, Zhao Deming and the Great Song Dynasty was only a border conflict, and they did not directly oppose the emperor like Yuan Hao, which was fundamentally different from this time.

Chong Shiheng was a good frontier general, but he didn't realize that the current war was different from the past. After decades of recuperation in the early Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty recovered from the war of the Five Dynasties, and the surrounding Yidi regimes also eased up, and they were about to start a new round of biting on the Central Plains. Without a political solution to the Northwest Qiang Party, the military defeat of Yuan Hao alone will not completely solve the problem, and another madman will emerge in a few decades.

Of course Xu Ping has the idea of using Qinzhou's proton to influence the surrounding Fanluo, but it is by no means to let the proton return to his own clan to seize power, what Xu Ping wants to completely abolish is the tribal system, how can he do it too much?

As long as the tribal system remains, there is theoretically the possibility of a prominent leader who will quickly integrate. Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden, which is the characteristic of the tribal system. After a long period of stability, coupled with favorable external conditions, a leader in the tribe will soon be decided to expand externally. The party item is from Zhao Jiqian, decades of internal integration, although he fought several battles with Song, but did not hurt his muscles and bones, to Yuan Hao accumulated strength. After unleashing the strength accumulated by the party over the past few decades, they will naturally be honest, but they will continue to make chaos in the future.

If you want to maintain peace and stability for a long time, it is the road that you have to take to change the summer with raze, and temporary compromise can only be exchanged for temporary tranquility, and the accumulated contradictions will one day erupt more violently.

Seeing that Chong Shiheng was a little confused, Xu Ping said to him: "General judgment, this time the Holy Lord asked me to go to Qinzhou, worship him in a high position, and give him great power, not let me temporarily appease the Qiang people and seek a moment of peace." Rather, it is the county and its land, which encloses the soil as Ding, so that this area will be placed under the rule of the imperial court from now on. To do this, we can only take the dignified road, and those careful tricks must be put away for the time being, not because they cannot be used, but because they should not be used as much as possible. Proton studied and studied in the work camp, waited for a year and a half, and those who really learned and succeeded, Qinzhou was able to use it. Either they went to work in the field, or they went to the army, and from then on they had nothing to do with their tribe. Of course, the family is still family, but they are no longer the people of the Lost Tribes. ”

Chong Shiheng always thought that Xu Ping wanted to coach the proton, and when the time was ripe, he would return to his own clan to seize power and help the imperial court control the surrounding areas, but he didn't expect Xu Ping to plan like this. He still doesn't understand, what's the use of doing this, spending so much energy on these protons, just for these two thousand mouths? Although Qinzhou is located in the northwest, there are tens of thousands of people under its rule, so why not send these two thousand?

Xu Ping's face softened, and he said to Chong Shiheng: "General judgment, your eyes can't just stare at those one or two thousand protons, but think more about the camp that manages them." In order to train these protons, let them read and write, and learn Chinese customs, we also arranged nearly 1,000 people in that camp, including officials, generals, and non-commissioned officers. In the process of compiling these protons, these people have also summed up the charter and learned the experience, and it will be much easier to do this kind of thing in the future. ”

Chong Shiheng was taken aback: "Isn't that camp set up temporarily, and the festival commander wants to use it forever?" ”
