Chapter 1087: Great Ethnic Integration
The Han ministers loudly praised the agreed Fanbang, but they were secretly proud in their hearts, saying that the emperor only needed to take out some money to be able to subdue these foreign Fanbangs, which was really a wonderful national policy!
However, people do not perish for themselves, and for the lords of these states, their own family cannot control the whole clan for a long time. After joining the Datang nationality www.biquge.info such an opportunity is to be seized, whether it is for yourself or for future generations. Therefore, the policy of Emperor Wude Li Yi is still a win-win situation.
As for the fact that the armed forces and clansmen they possessed would be controlled by the imperial court because of this, they didn't consider it at all, because these alien races under Li Yi's rule over the years had basically lost control of the armed forces. There was no way, Li Yi's army was too strong, and under the pressure of the Northern Frontier Army, they didn't dare to go beyond it at all.
The Qiang and Di tribes in the northwest are also scattered tribal alliances, so they soon agreed to join the Tang nationality.
Although the Qiang people have a large population, there are too many tribes inside, and the most powerful tribe has a population of no more than 100,000 people. The Di tribe is even weaker, with a total population of only a few hundred thousand, and the largest tribe is in the early tens of thousands. They all live on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the environment is harsh, and without the help of the Tang Dynasty, life would be hard. Now that I can enjoy the rich life of Datang, it is naturally the best.
Soon, Li Xi, the king of Jiankun, also agreed, because he originally regarded himself as a Han person, although the right was indeed a good thing, which made him a little difficult to give up, but he would rather give up the throne in Jiankun than to be recognized by Emperor Wude Li Yi and become a Han man.
However, the last remaining Xiao Siwen and Zhai Yu have not made a decision for a long time.
Because of Li Yi's support over the years, the two of them have long abolished the tribal alliance system in the clan, and their status will not be easily shaken like the leaders of the small clan. Therefore, the benefits they got were not as big as those of the small clan, and in the name of needing to go back to negotiate, they politely declined for the time being.
Li Yi was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, after all, one of these two was his father-in-law and the other was his brother-in-law.
Of course, the matter decided by Li Yi cannot be suspended just because Xianbei and Ding Ling'er clan do not join. Li Yi put Xianbei and Ding Ling aside to discuss with other ethnic groups the specific matter of joining the Tang nationality.
So, during the Spring Festival of the third year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wude Li Yi had the busiest Spring Festival. The entire imperial court also had the busiest Spring Festival, and there was no annual leave for a day.
………………
In February of the third year of Wude (208 AD), the Northwestern, Liaodong and Grassland tribes began to fully join the Tang nationality. Emperor Wude Li Yi issued edicts one after another, and the Danshu iron scroll canonized the clan kings who joined the system as the clan masters, and the tribal leaders as the clan records. Hereditary replacement, always the nobility of the nation, manage folk affairs.
The difference between ethnicity and folk customs means that these clan leaders and tribal leaders have lost a lot of things. Yet they got what they wanted, hereditary succession, always the patriarch and nobility of their own people, with a high status, just like the kings of later generations under constitutional monarchies.
The Central Plains is prosperous, and the fundamental reason why foreign nations in later generations came to the Central Plains is to occupy the world of flowers and enjoy life. So when you can come to live in the Central Plains without paying any price, after the people of all nationalities learned the news, they joined the Datang nationality one after another, and most of them were willing to live in the mainland.
After years of war, the population of the Central Plains region has been greatly reduced, and there is a lot of land, and many people can be resettled by cultivating thousands of acres in each village.
Li Yi immediately ordered the household department to do a good job in the resettlement work, and the small villages were divided into more than a dozen and the large villages were divided into dozens, and some tribes had solid family backgrounds, and as long as they could afford to buy a house in the city, they could move into the city to live.
In this way, Li Yi extended the model of large mixed settlements and small settlements that he originally implemented in eastern Liaodong, northwest China, and the desert to the entire 11 million square kilometers of Datang.
Although over the years, Li Yi has conquered many foreign races and a large population, a total of 10 million, but compared with the more than 30 million Han people, they are still at an absolute disadvantage in population. For example, in the Central Plains, the proportion of the population of these border tribes is generally only 12/12. Even in eastern Liao, northwest China, and the desert, in the areas where Li Yi pursued policies, Han Chinese accounted for at least 60% of the population.
Of course, Li Yi did not completely fool these aliens, but actually let them enjoy the treatment of the Han people, which made them really regard themselves as Tang people and have a strong sense of belonging.
At that time, the thinking of the Han people also began to change under the continuous propaganda of the imperial court, not only talking about the nation, but the height of national consciousness was gradually replaced by the height of national consciousness. Just as I was a Chinese in later generations, I also began to say: "I am a Tang person!" ”
For many years in later generations, the world called China the Tang people, and the Tang people also claimed to be the Tang people, which was due to the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty, which was established by Li Yi four hundred years in advance, was about to complete such a transformation.
The country is the beginning of the prosperous era, and Li Yi's nationality law has successfully brought a new sense of national consciousness to the people. At present, the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the territory of China in later generations have been truly and substantially expanded.
Li Yi even carved out a street near the Jicheng Palace, built hundreds of wealthy mansions, and housed clan leaders from all over the world, becoming a national street.
After these clan lords tried to live in the prosperous Jicheng and enjoy the luxurious life they had never enjoyed, they had already looked at the clansmen and did not plan to return to the bitter cold land. What Liu Bei Dongwu forgot about Jingzhou, and Liu Chanle didn't think about it, it couldn't be compared.
And the young descendants of the clan lord who arrived, one by one, waved their tickets and turned into the sons of gentlemen, and immediately became corrupt and degenerate in the prosperity.
Li Yi is very willing to see this, and often instructs: "The nation should be united, and these people's consumption can be discounted." ”
If an ordinary monarch would never be able to implement such a policy, Li Yi's absolute prestige brought by years of conquest and his unrivalled credibility played an important role. The nations trusted him to bring a good life to themselves, so they were willing to move to the interior thousands of miles away.
However, there are still some problems.
………………
At the end of February, in the imperial study room of the Jicheng Imperial Palace, Li Yi summoned the ministers of military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department to inquire about the follow-up progress of the nationality law.
Xu Maogong admired Li Yi's nationality law system very much, but at the moment he was full of worry and said: "Your Majesty, there are still many people of all ethnic groups who are nostalgic for their homeland and are unwilling to migrate to the mainland to settle down!" ”
Xun Yu said: "These people still have a considerable scale in the local area, and they are still hidden dangers...... In addition, Xianbei and Ding Ling have not joined the system and should not be underestimated. ”
Li Yi pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Isn't there still a military service system?" The nationalities will become the source of troops for the Tang army, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be replenished. Now that they have joined the Datang nationality, we can send troops to maintain local stability. ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers of military aircraft were very impressed, and the emperor could solve the things that he couldn't figure out.
The nationality law of the Tang Dynasty has already achieved initial results, and the border has not been plagued by foreign nationalities, but has become a barrier in the interior of the Central Plains.
Xun Yu, who has the highest political ability among the ministers of military aircraft, quickly thought of another question and said to Li Yi: "Your Majesty, Xianbei and Ding Ling obviously believe that they have a certain strength, so they did not join my Tang nationality. They are wandering around, if there is no certain distinction, I am afraid that these clan masters who have joined the Tang nationality will have remorse. ”
Zhuge Liang's political ability is also outstanding, and he immediately said: "That's it, these clan masters are temporarily intoxicated, and if they perceive that they are the same outside the system, I am afraid that they will leave the system and return to their hometowns." ”
Kou Zhun also suggested: "What the two military advisors said is very true. The patriarch of this generation is very authoritative in the clan, and I am afraid that there will be many variables at that time. ”
Liu Bowen twisted his beard and said: "But don't worry too much, when this generation of clan masters dies and the next generation inherits, this prestige will be gone, and even if they return to their hometown, they will have no appeal." ”
Xun You also expressed his opinion, saying: "Han men should be encouraged to marry with other ethnic groups, and secretly Han women should not be encouraged to marry other ethnic groups." These ethnic groups do not have much of a demographic advantage, and within three generations, their numbers will plummet. ”
Since the beginning of the patrilineal clan commune, the family has been dominated by men, so the descendants of Han men are Han Chinese.
"That's a good idea." Li Yi smiled slightly, and said in his heart that Xun Yu is worthy of being the first strategic assistant with a hundred stunts, and his mind is turning fast, so he said, "Although it is said that all ethnic groups are equal, we still need our clan to lead, and the minority obeys the majority." ”
Several ministers of military aircraft nodded in agreement.
At this time, Li Yi saw that Jia Xu didn't speak, and asked with a smile: "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”
The emperor summoned the Military Aircraft Department, which was the core small court council, Jia Xu didn't care about it, he pondered something in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the families of the heads of all ethnic groups should not be underestimated. In order for these families to have the ability to match their status, they also need to send people to 'teach them earnestly'. ”
Li Yixin said that he is worthy of being a poisoner Jia Xu, this strategy is really poisonous enough, what is the difference between this and the desperate plan? However, Li Yi liked this strategy very much.
So, Li Yi secretly ordered the Shadow to send elite spies to infiltrate the clan leader's family, and earnestly induce their descendants to become a qualified son of a gentleman, that is, a son of a ruined family. Thinking that after these losers inherit the position of the clan leader, they will be able to defeat and be defeated, and the Tang family will have no worries from then on.
The rest of the ministers of military aircraft also quickly figured out the taste, and said in their hearts that it was really an old fox, always pondering these vicious strategies.
