Liu Che turned around and sat down, and instructed Wang Dao again: "Go and invite Canghaijun here, don't alarm Zhenban and Ma Han Erban......"

The power of the Hao people, at present, is the most trusted force of the Han family in the northeast.

Now, according to Liu Che's order, the official office of the governor of northeastern Liaoning has crossed the Beishui and penetrated deep into the control of the people, and established a new immigrant city in the local area.

The city was named 'Xinhua' by Liu Che, and what it meant was already clear.

Xinhua City, probably located in the later Sino-Russian border area, probably near the Tumen River, belonged to a new world for China in this era.

The establishment of Xinhua City and the eastward relocation of the northern Governor's Office allowed the Han Dynasty to nominally expand its territory by hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

Liu Che plans to build another new city on the Haoren border, hundreds of miles northeast of Xinhua City, after the beginning of spring this year, called Huaihua.

These two cities were the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty's strategy towards the Far East.

Whether it is Xinhua or Huaihua, the construction and subsequent expansion of the city are inseparable from the support and cooperation of the Hao people who have lived here for generations.

More importantly, Liu Che found that an interesting phenomenon was gradually emerging in the Han vassal states of the Far East and Korea.

That is, the remnants of the nobles, tribes, and other large and small tribal kingdoms of the Hao people and the Mahan, Mahan, and Wei Joseon regimes formed a Mongol tribal ecology similar to that of the Manchu dynasty.

The Hao people are like Chahar, and the rest of the tribes such as Zhenban and Mahan are like other Mongolian tribes.

This makes Liu Che sometimes unable to hold back his temperament and wants to play the Dongyi Eight Banners system.

Just after thinking about it. Liu Che gave up on this idea.

It's not that the Dongyi Eight Banners system is not feasible.

In fact, the Eight Banners system can be regarded as a black technology in this era.

Control zhì is good. It can directly raise all these large and small tribes into dogs.

But......

The various tribes of Dongyi, in the end, are theoretical. It is a member of the Chinese cultural circle.

The ancestors of tribal kingdoms such as the Hao people and Mahan were even ethnic minorities who migrated from China to the Far East and Korea.

It can be said to have a deep blood connection with the Chinese nation.

At the very least, at this time, whether it is cultural or blood relationship, it can be regarded as very close.

Similarly, there are the kingdoms of Mitsukoshi and the kingdoms of Southwest Yi.

For these kingdoms and tribes, Liu Che regarded them as quasi-nationals.

In the future, it is necessary to assimilate all Chinese.

However, the Eight Banners system is a system that emphasizes ethnic distinctions and strengthens national cognition.

No matter how successful the Manchu Eight Banners system was.

But. The Mongolian Eight Banners are always the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners are always the Han Eight Banners, and the Manchurian Eight Banners are always the Eight Banners.

In the area of core interests in and around the country, play the Eight Flags system?

Liu Che didn't have the brains to go to the Sectarian Committee, and deliberately reminded these tribes and nationalities that they were not Han people, but Hao people, Yue people, Zhenfan people, Mahan people, Yelang people, Dian people, and so on.

However, there is an opportunity in the future, the Western Regions and India can be used as a pilot for the Eight Banners system.

About a quarter of an hour later. Canghai Jun Nangong Xin came to Liu Che.

"The letter of the minister to see His Majesty, may His Majesty live a thousand years!" Nangong Xin knelt down in a proper manner, bowed three times and bowed nine times with courtiers.

His title of King of the Sea. Both nominally and in reality, it is now a Hanchen.

At the time when he was first named the king of the sea. Nangong Xin was still very confident that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would probably treat him like Sanyue in the south.

i.e. as long as suzerainty. And not the executive power.

But how did he know that the current Han family. The three tsukoshi have already sharpened their knives, how can they have their brains drawn to support a new separatist force in the northeast?

Neither tradition nor interests will allow such a thing to happen.

He had just accepted the title on the front foot, and when he returned to the tribe on the back foot, he found that the northern lieutenant of Liaodong, with more than 2,000 county soldiers, swaggered across the water and began to build a city on the edge of the 'sea of fish'.

In just two months, a brand-new city has been standing on the edge of the 'sea of fish'.

The city is simple, though still relatively small.

But like a magnet, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire Hao people.

The Han people put salt, iron, tea, wine, and cloth in the city's commodity catalog.

Salt is a necessity for the life of the Hao people, iron is a precious metal that all tribes desire and hope for, and as for tea and wine, it is even more crazy.

Especially for wine, the nobles, tribal chieftains, and samurai could not resist the magical liquid that warmed their bodies after drinking it in their stomachs.

As for the cloth, for most of the people who still use fish skins and animal skins as warm clothing, it is simply a blessing from heaven.

Even he, the co-leader of the Hao people, could not control it at all, and his leaders, samurai, and clan chiefs went to the city called 'Xinhua' to trade.

Although it is not obvious now, Nangong Xin knows very well that with the establishment and continuous growth of Xinhua City, the city will continue to transform the Hao people into Han people.

For example, now, several tribes have begun to join Xinhua City, and under the guidance of Han officials, they have abandoned the hard life of fishing and hunting, and instead settled around Xinhua City, and Han officials have instructed them to build new sturdy houses and reclaim land in preparation for this year's sowing.

Nangong Xin sent people to Xinhua City to question, but was told that this was the will of the Son of Heaven.

Peng Wu, the governor of the northern part of Liaodong County, his old friend in the past, even publicly declared: Fishing and hunting are hard, and the people are difficult, and the Holy Son of Heaven empathizes, so he ordered his ministers to come to the wilderness to educate the subjects, so that the people have a place to live, people can eat, orphans and widows can be recuperated, and injuries and illnesses can be treated.

All of a sudden, the big and small heads of the tribes of the Hao people were all moved.

Even Nangong Xin is empathetic.

The life of the people is indeed very difficult.

Unlike China and the Xiongnu.

If the people want to survive, they mainly rely on the fish caught in the sea and the water.

If there is not enough catch in a given year. The death of starvation and disease is often in the thousands.

Even the leaders and nobles of the Hao tribe are not spared.

Nangong Xin remembered. His grandfather was the co-owner of the dignified people. It was because of the lack of fish caught in a certain year, so I could only eat the fish dried last year, and I actually contracted the disease and died.

Even in the years of abundant catches, the number of tribesmen who drowned, froze to death, and were killed by wild beasts every year for fishing was as numerous as stars.

The establishment of Xinhua City and the arrival of officials of the Han Dynasty pointed out a new path to the various tribes of the Hao people. A new world.

No more risking your life to fish, no more worrying about the belly of your offspring waiting to be fed, no more huddling in the crypts, caves and fires on freezing days, no more worrying about whether you will survive until the next morning.

The officials sent by the Son of Heaven brought a new path to the Hao people, and put this road in front of all the Hao people in front of the people.

A house made of stone bricks. Compared to the cave dwellings of the past, both comfort and safety are far surpassing.

The house is large, spacious and bright.

There is a stove in the house. There is also a fireplace for heating, as long as you put some firewood in, the whole house will be warm all night. Just like in summer, you don't have to worry about waking up the next morning to find your wife, children, father, and mother frozen into ice.

More critically. Several of the Han Dynasty's great sages who are said to be ink scholars came to 'Xinhua'. In response to the local environment and the extreme cold of winter, a bedding called 'Fire Collapse' was designed.

Sleeping on the fire, even if the air outside is freezing, the family on the collapse will not feel any discomfort, and they sleep extremely sweetly all night.

The Han agricultural officials instructed the Hao tribe to reclaim wasteland, dig wells for water, and establish sanitary places.

Now, the few tribes that have been attached to Xinhua City, and everyone in the clan is living a happy life that can only be found in dreams in the past.

Officials of the Han Dynasty said that in the spring of the next year, after the seeds were planted, as long as they were one year old, those tribes would always be afraid of starvation and cold, and people over forty years old would no longer have to go to the mountains and forests to wait for death.

Children, grandchildren, and nephews will have enough energy and enough food to provide for them and live in peace in their old age.

In the face of this change and hope, Nangong Xin was both confused and excited.

He was confused and didn't know where he would fit in in the future.

Co-master?

It may still be now, but in a few years, I am afraid that all the tribes of the Hao people who have tasted the benefits will only obey the orders of the Han people from Xinhua City.

Although, as the patriarch who brought the 'kindness' and 'kindness' of the Han pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, he and his family will definitely be grateful to the clan leaders.

However, as in the past, the status of being the only one and the same among the people of Hao is gone forever.

The Han people used salt, iron, tea, cloth and wine to completely suppress all the tribes, and made them loyal and surrender with a future that everyone wanted.

Therefore, Nangong Xin doesn't know where the future of himself and his family is?

Before he came to Chang'an, the Liaodong County Commander of the Han Dynasty had already issued an order to all tribes of the Hao people, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, requiring each tribe to report the number of households and population on a family basis, and also ordered men over 18 years old and under 25 years old in each tribe to conduct military training.

From Xinhua City, hundreds of soldiers were dispatched to the settlements of various tribes to guide the training of the Hao people.

The northern governors even began to appoint Li Zheng and Pavilion Chiefs in some tribes close to Xinhua City, and after the beginning of spring, the Governor and You Jia also began to appoint.

Although, these positions were still held by the head of the clan and the noble samurai of the upper ranks.

But Nangong Xin always felt that something was weird.

But I can't say why.

As for the excitement?

As the leader and leader of the clan, he certainly had reason to be excited about the fact that the clan was getting better day by day and the future would be better.

It's just that these two feelings make Nangong Xin uneasy.

Sometimes I even have nightmares.

With such a mood, Nangong Xin came to Chang'an, he hoped to ask the Son of Heaven in Chang'an for advice - it can't be said that he is stupid, but Nangong Xin has never seen and encountered such a scene, just like the Chinese people after the Opium War in later generations, in the face of the strong ships and cannons of the Western powers, as well as completely different traditional styles of acting, the people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty still don't know what to do, confused, and even at a loss.

For the Hao people, the current situation is indeed the biggest change and challenge they have encountered since their ancestors migrated from China to Northeast China during the Yin Shang period. (To be continued......)
