Chapter 890: This Family......
Kuaitong's so-called inclusion of Wusun in the "civilization system" refers to making Wusun a vassal state of the empire, so that Wusun can fully accept the culture of the empire, and use boiled frogs in warm water and some necessary means to make Wusun an integral part of the empire.
If Lu Zhe is not mistaken, the successive dynasties in the Chinese civilization have always been doing things about cultural export, and in many stages, almost half of the writing used in Asia is Chinese characters, and the nobles of various countries can basically speak Chinese. But if his memory wasn't wrong, even that wouldn't be of any use? In the latter countries that use Chinese characters and can speak Chinese, the stick is a white-eyed wolf that cannot be raised, the monkey side is not much better, and the Japanese side has carried out the most thorough counterattack.
According to many people, the export of culture from the Han civilization is basically a failed attempt, but it does not seem to be useless? The Han civilization has been repeatedly wiped out, all relying on the inheritance of advanced culture to ensure the continuation of the ethnic group, but also using culture to "integrate" the regime that should be a foreign race, the most famous is the comprehensive sinicization of Xianbei into the big family of China.
"Historically, the export of culture by the Chinese civilization to the outside world is basically to cultivate enemies for itself, so that those barbarians who drink blood have the possibility of evolution, and then use the knowledge learned from Huaxia to fight against Huaxia!" Lu Yi maintained a posture of sitting upright, listening to some suggestions from imperial officials in his ears, but it did not prevent him from complaining in his heart: "The plan of annexation by force has been proven to be effective and fast, so continue to use violent means to expand, it's okay to play any soft invasion, but don't cultivate an enemy for yourself." ”
Kuaitong's hypothesis continues, and in his introduction, Wusun's desperate need for assistance is the perfect opportunity for the empire to insert influence into the Western Regions. If the empire can influence Wusun culturally, and carry out some infiltration because of military assistance, then it will be able to intervene in the Western Regions in a relatively mild way in the early stage, laying a solid foundation for the future occupation of the entire Western Regions.
Lü Yi sounded like a modern puppet state control method. The more I listened, the more strange I felt. If he remembers correctly, there has been no shortage of vassal countries in Huaxia since ancient times, but in some dynasties, Huaxia does not have the majesty and iron blood that a suzerainty should have, and treats the vassal countries as if they are serving their father.
What is the result? When the suzerainty is in trouble, the subject country does not see the subject country play any role, and when the subject country is in trouble, the suzerainty is in a dilemma that it should not have fallen into, not only when the national strength is weak, it has to be stretched, but also many times it is so busy like a dog that it cannot get the slightest gratitude.
The premise of using some means to control Wusun is that Wusun can survive this wave of blows, and whether Wusun can survive the situation depends on how fast the empire moves. How big the strength of the troops and materials invested, Lu Yi is fortunate that the thinking of the center of the empire is clear, not like some people in the past dynasties who only think about support, and carry out that kind of investment that is stupid no matter how you look at it, and does not care about the follow-up benefits.
"In 1592, the Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Wajima invaded the country of Sticks after unifying Wajima, and Mingshenzong asked the general army of Liaodong to lead the army to help the country, and the cost of military posture was not counted, because the general army of Liaodong entered the country of Sticks and made the troops in the north empty, and the north of Liaodong was in chaos." Lu Yi glanced at Jing Ju, who was still making up a long discussion. Out of the corner of his eye, he found that his brother Lu Qi was listening carefully, and he couldn't help but pout.
In Lu Yi's memory, Jing Ju seems to be a puppet who was pushed to the king of Chu at the end of Qin, and he seems to have died in the future. He couldn't figure out why his father in this historical version would let Jing Ju be a pawn in the Hongru Pavilion. That is, the so-called high position of foreign minister.
“…… Later, it was fought and talked about, but in 1596, the Japanese invaded the country again, and the Ming had to send troops to help the country again when there was a erosion north of Liaodong. It must have something to do with the two consecutive Japanese invasions of the country of sticks. Lu Yi thought about it a little bit: "There have been two times before that the Ming Dynasty had to fight two unnecessary wars for the Bangzi Country, and then the Japanese invaded the Bangzi Country again during the Wanli period, and the Bangzi called the invasion of the Japanese people 'Renchen Wowo'. Our side is one of the three major expeditions of Wanli? ”
There are too many things that Lu Yi can't figure out, and now the person with the most brilliant military achievements in the empire is Sima Xin. And Sima Xin was a two-faced villain in the original history, and the destruction of the Lishan Legion, the last force of the Qin Empire, seemed to be inseparable from Sima Xin, and the reason why Zhang Han surrendered was because of Sima Xin's demagoguery? Such a two-faced person has reached the peak in this historical version, and he really can't figure it out.
In order to find out what was going on, Lu Yi spent a lot of effort to investigate, and he was a little dumbfounded after a check, Sima Xin's appearance was in the Battle of Changsha, and that battle seemed to be a outnumbered attack not only wiped out hundreds of thousands of Baiyue people, but also completed the task of continuing to go south to recover the lost territory?
"That's right, after all, history has changed, and anyone's historical trajectory will have different opportunities with the change of history." Lu Yi's gaze turned to Sima Xin, who had just returned to Nanling: "At that time, it was also my father who needed an example to come to the Qin State to release some intentions, and he really had some skills. ”
Sima Xin seemed to notice Lu Yi's gaze, he turned his head to look at Lu Yi and smiled.
Lu Yi looked away and looked down at Sima Xin's position, Ji Bu, Gongwei, Meng Tian, Xu Zhi, Luo Shao and other familiar and unfamiliar people sat on their knees on the left side of the hall one by one.
Many of these people are unknown people, and many of them should have died early because of some things, but now they are the lieutenant generals and commanders of at least one legion, so that Lu Yi has to admit that the change of history is not only in the establishment of the empire, some people have enough opportunities and can always find their own position, and there are enough brilliant military exploits to leave a name in history.
Lu Yi's eyes kept moving, and when he swept to Xungui's side, he found Liu Bang without accident, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "I really don't understand?" Daddy must be a traverser, otherwise history should not change under the leadership of Daddy, but he knows that Liu Bang will be the founder of an empire, why didn't Daddy kill Liu Bang! ”
From seeing some follow-up thoughts from Liu Bang, Lu Yi remembered many people who should have shined on the stage of history, some of those people were dead, and many of them were still in obscurity.
"Xiang Yu's family was simply killed, is that Dad thinks that the Chu Overlord who likes to bury people alive and set fires everywhere will only cause destruction?" One thing must be admitted. Lu Yi was completely stunned when he learned that the Xiang family was simply killed, and he was even more depressed and surprised when he knew that Liu Bang was not only alive and well, but also a third-class baron of the empire.
Lu Yi's gaze kept stopping at Liu Bang: "The founding heroes of the Han Empire in Pei County are still alive, but now those people are not in high positions. Since these people can shine in the past history, can I win them over and use them for my own use? ”
After being watched for a long time, Liu Bang also noticed the gaze from Lu Yi. He noticed that Wang Ziyi was slightly stunned when he looked at him, then smiled and raised his hand and bowed.
"Daddy thinks about things in a peculiar way, and it's understandable that he doesn't want to kill on a large scale to reduce his own population, after all, in such an era where everything depends on manpower. Without the population, nothing can be built. Lu Yi turned his head to look at the imperial throne, and in the dim light over there, he could only see a figure sitting on his knees: "The collective production of the cooperative commune is a good move for the tuntian soldiers in the army, and it is understandable to encourage childbirth in recent years, but what does it mean to set the Thai side as the feudal domain of Wei?" Now Thailand seems to be a big grain producer, and its gold reserves are quite abundant, how can it get Wei Zhi's fiefdom there? ”
Lu Yi continued to think, Lu Qi beside him seemed to be listening seriously, but in fact, some memories were going on in his mind.
What Lu Qi knows is...... At least in his historical version of the textbook, it is written that the empire has done its best to help Wusun through this crisis, and the empire has also eliminated many Hu people in this operation to help Wusun because of the correct choice.
After this incident, Wusun became a puppet state of the Empire. If Lü Qi is not mistaken, Wusun was also "digested" by the empire within about twenty years, and after that, Wusun ceased to exist as a form of state and became part of the empire. Subsequent historical phases. Although there was a slight repetition on Wusun's side, it did not make any waves, those who intended to make Wusun independent disappeared in a bloody purge, and the subsequent bloody purges and population dispersion and migration made Wusun include the entire Western Regions. Permanently become an inalienable territory of the Empire.
"My father abdicated, and the throne was inherited by my younger brother. Before his father's abdication, the empire eliminated the disobedient Hu people in the northern grasslands, and only Mao Dun took a part of the Huns and some Hu people such as Ding Ling, Hujie, and Hun Yu, who fled in the conquest of the imperial army, to the west. In the end, they were handed over to the King of Qin to continue the conquest. Before Brother Yi ascended the throne, the empire also occupied quite a few islands in the sea......" Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but look at Lu Yi beside him, just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze: "After that, it should be Brother Yi who returns the empire's attention to the mainland and begins a new round of land expansion against Central Asia." ”
That's right, in the historical records of the world that Lu Qi traveled through, there is no such person as Lu Qi in "history", but "historical figures" such as Lu Zhe and Lu Yi exist. As far as he knows, Lü Zhe's reign was forty years, completing the rapid expansion from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the early stage, and Lü Zhe abdicated at the age of sixty-nine, after which Lü Yi became the second emperor.
In the world before Lü Qi traveled, Lü Yi ascended the throne and became the emperor, at that time, not only the kings of Qin and Wei had feudal kingdoms outside, but also many princes among Lü Zhe's heirs went out to establish feudal states, and there were also nobles from the empire who went out to establish feudal states. If it is said that the empire was created and strengthened in the hands of Lu Zhe, then in the hands of Lu Zhe, it is expanding at an unprecedented speed......
A bronze bell woke Lu Qi up from his memories, and Lu Yi came back to his senses with him.
"Then that's how it goes." Lu Zhe, who was talking, had already finished standing, beckoned to the four little guys under the steps, and motioned to follow.
The ministers on the left and right sides of the main hall had fully stood, and they maintained a posture of bending down and saluting to face the throne, until Lu Zhe and his children disappeared from sight.
"The king asked the princes to participate in the court meeting, ......?"
"I don't know."
"Hehe, that's fine."
"Tonight, the king will hold a family banquet, and the three kings will attend together, I don't know if they will talk about the matter of the title."
"Hmm. It will inevitably be said that the strategy of King Wei to go to the South Asian subcontinent has been formulated, and the materials in advance have begun to be transported to the Lingnan side. ”
While talking, they lined up to walk towards the gate out of the hall, and the civil officials talked about the topic of civil officials, and the military generals of course talked about military matters.
All of them left the council hall, and the officials gathered a few small circles according to their friendships to chat and chat, and inevitably studied where to go together.
The fact that the empire had contacts with the countries of Central Asia, and that commercial contacts were about to begin was open, and the empire's commerce had developed rapidly in recent years, and the officials had some industries in their homes, and they would inevitably discuss the formation of caravans to Central Asia, and then negotiate what goods to carry.
Lu Zhe, who was walking from the apse, was asking his children something about why he wanted to stop the envoys from Central Asia.
"Well, my younger brothers and sisters want to take a look to see if those envoys are rumored to be different from ordinary people." Lu Yi was the first to answer.
What does it mean to be different from ordinary people, isn't it that those Central Asian envoys look different from the people of the empire, Lu Yi and Lu Qi will not have any curiosity about this, after all, they have seen too much "before", but those other younger brothers and sisters have not seen it.
Lu Zhe, who stopped, looked at Lu Yi who answered with inquiring eyes: "Have you ever asked about the route those envoys took to come to the empire?" ”
Lu Yi nodded: "The child asked." ”
"Did the envoys say?" Lu Zhe took another step: "I have explored the Hongru Pavilion over there, and those envoys have left and right him to give a positive answer, do you know what it means?" ”
"I know, it seems that they don't want to lose the opportunity of the trading route, but in fact they are afraid of the empire," Lu Yi said and involuntarily raised his head: "The alliance of Parthia and Bactria was defeated by Wusun and ran back in disgrace. They must have inquired about some things when they came to the east, such as the Wusun who defeated them was suppressed by the Xiongnu, Ding Ling and other steppe tribes, but the Xiongnu were repeatedly defeated in the face of us, and those envoys in Central Asia must have feared the force of the empire. ”
One question and one answer, the father and the son gradually drifted apart...... (To be continued......)
