Chapter 300 Under the Eight Banners System

What about the Tang Dynasty? It chose to integrate into the policy. In fact, it was successful and failed.

An Lushan, who started the Anshi Rebellion, was a Hu, but Ge Shuhan, who followed the emperor to put down the rebellion, was also a Hu.

The north is flat and broad, while the south is full of mountains and rugged terrain. Vast barbarian settlements are scattered among the mountains like pearls, ranging from dozens of small ones to thousands of large ones.

Just like our ancestors, from Dongyi to Shanyue, and now to the barbarians, from north to south, from the plains to the mountains, the barbarians have become accustomed to freedom and wildness. The tough policies of the Tang Dynasty have made the barbarians in Lingnan

Officials rebelled erratically, and there were countless small-scale rebellions.

The Southern Han Dynasty was smart and implemented a peace policy of non-interference, so that it could recruit barbarians and drive them to stabilize the world. For decades, there was not much chaos. The later Northern Song Dynasty also implemented it as always.

The policies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty allowed the uncontrollable barbarians to become weapons and weapons in their hands, but it still could not help the barbarians in the southwest. It has always been difficult for them to return to their hometowns.

Therefore, if the barbarians are forcibly controlled, the peaceful side of Lingnan will disappear, and rebellion will become a reality.

To control barbarians with barbarians is the long-term strategy.

It is not feasible at this time to organize households and bring together the people.

Don't forget that these barbarians are the mature barbarians who have been sinicized since the Tang Dynasty. They are the result of hundreds of years. There are also a large number of raw barbarians living in the mountains. Not to mention recruiting, contact with these people is difficult.

The situation of the Han people, familiar with the barbarians, and living with the barbarians, from east to west.

After the birth of the barbarians, there was the Dali Kingdom and Tubo.

If you control the skill well, it will become an extremely sharp gun.

"Although the mature barbarians have been Chineseized for a long time, they still put profit first. If there is not enough money, even if I have great ability, I will not move!"

"Money? If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. In the face of the great country and the country, a little money is nothing. Since they are fond of money, then meet their needs and drive them for profit!"

Li Jia smiled nonchalantly, as long as you don't rob me of the world, what does a little money and land mean? It's just that loyalty is hard to maintain. If you come for profit today, you will go against it tomorrow. This is the most difficult thing.

"The raw barbarians live in the barren mountains and harsh ridges, and it is already difficult to survive. These mature barbarians have already learned to farm. However, the miasma in Guangdong and Guangxi makes people hard to find good farmland. Compared with the Han people, it is also difficult!"

Where did this group of mature barbarians come from? It was because it was difficult to survive in the mountains and the population grew, so they had no choice but to migrate out of the mountains to find some thin land, hunt and farm at the same time, and listen to the imperial court's recruitment from time to time to earn rewards and survive.

The reason why he is more greedy for money is because he is forced by life. A knife and a pair of shoes can make him fight for his life. How pitiful!

"Instead of forcing them to go down the mountain, let them go down on their own!" Li Jiaji thought in his heart, feeling so blessed that a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This..." Pan Chongche asked himself that he understood the Barbarians. They were naturally wary of the Han people, so how could they go down the mountain? For them, isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

"I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Earl Pan sighed: "It is extremely difficult to win the trust of the barbarians, let alone letting them move down the mountain, it is even harder to reach the sky!"

"Why is it so difficult? These mature barbarians know how to farm. There is so much fertile land at the bottom of the mountain, and the harvest is much greater than that of the thin fields on the mountain!" Li Jia said with a smile.

"But the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain all have owners!"

"Is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the guests of the land? Is it the king's ministers? Some fertile land is nothing to me. Since I can reward it to the imperial army, I can naturally reward it to these barbarians!"

"Your Majesty, this, this..." Pan Chongche was immediately startled and said quickly: "If this group of barbarians goes down the mountain, it will be a disaster for the Han people. They are greedy by nature. If they plunder prefectures and counties, the people will suffer.

The court is in trouble!"

"Robbery is only something that those who are down and out do. Do you think those who have a lot of wealth are robbing from the bottom of their bodies?"

"Those who have perseverance have perseverance!" Li Jia sighed and said, after all, he still has a discriminatory mentality towards the barbarians and does not treat them as human beings from the bottom of his heart.

People's hearts are inseparable. If the barbarians have a big mansion at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of acres of land, and a warehouse full of food, how can they rebel? How can they plunder prefectures and counties?

"Those who know the opponent best are often our own people!" Li Jia said solemnly: "Compared with the Central Plains and other countries, our Dingkou of the Tang Dynasty is also very small, and our natural army is also rare!"

"And how many barbarians are there? Hunan and the southwest are all barbarians, and nearly half of the land has no Han children! The same goes for Lingnan, which already has insufficient troops. Wouldn't it be a waste if Han troops were used to suppress them?"

"Only by killing barbarians with barbarians, fighting barbarians with barbarians, and gathering barbarians and using them can we conquer the world and revive the Tang Dynasty!"

"He took the head of the barbarians, made them rich, and gave them mansions, slaves, and fields. After a few years, thousands of barbarians descended from the mountains, and under their swords, hundreds of thousands of barbarian souls were killed!"

"When there is plenty of luxury and wine, no matter how powerful the barbarians are, they will decay, and the next generation will be Han Chinese."

In summary, what Li Jia did was a conspiracy to let the barbarians kill each other, thus killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people, conquering the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, and creating a group of wealthy barbarian classes without any effort from Han'er.

Yungui.

This kind of strategy was also used during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the Battle of Mobei, most of the 100,000 Han soldiers who were left without a royal court in Monan were Huns, who were naturally skilled in bows and horses. Most of the Mongols who went south and conquered the Southern Song Dynasty were Han people; the Manchus and Qing Dynasties

Most of those who went south to wipe out the Southern Ming Dynasty were Han Chinese.

Since ancient times, there have been many such "own people", and using "one's own people" is also the best policy.

Hearing such a grand plan, Pan Chongche was shocked. His thinking was completely subverted. The emperor actually wanted to turn the barbarians into rich men and destroy them. It was simply a whim and an unconstrained idea.

Moreover, it was too cruel and bloody, and the wealth piled up with human heads was heart-shaking. The world view immersed in Confucian culture made him instantly reject such a strategy, which was harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth.

Although he despises the barbarians, the plan to exterminate the clan with numerous heads of people is really too hard to accept.

"How many people are left in the barbarian army?" Li Jia asked regardless of Lord Pan's pale face.

"About six thousand!" Count Pan blurted out.

"Redivide them!" Li Jia ordered directly, and asked the clerk on the side to take notes:

"Six thousand people are divided into four banners, which are yellow, red, white and blue. Each has 1,500 people. Each has three assistant leaders, each commanding 500 people. Under the assistant leaders, there are 100 households and 100 troops.
