Chapter 88 The Western Regions Sings Qin Feng
Chapter 88: Singing Qin Feng from thousands of miles of the Western Regions
"In the Western Regions, there are many tribes and a large number of factions. It is not difficult to defeat them. The difficult thing is governance!" Chen Ying looked at Ma Mengming and said with a smile: "Ma joined the army and served as the governor of Gaochang for more than ten years. I believe he has a lot of experience in governing the Western Regions, right?"
Ma Mengming thought for a while and said, "There are no more than two ways to govern the place, and the customs will be governed!"
Chen Ying was surprised. He naturally knew that he was in accordance with the customs and practices, and he understood them literally, respecting local customs and habits, and governing locals with locals.
Many people actually advocate governing according to customs, but in fact, this policy failed.
Once the central government loses its binding force, the local government will definitely disintegrate and the country will also split into countless small countries, which may be one place, one country or one city, one country.
The most famous one is the Soviet Union or Russia. In fact, it is a highly autonomous country. However, due to conflicts of interest, the autonomous government and the central government will definitely be in opposition. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. The boss wants to make more money and the workers want to work less. Once the contradiction is irreconcilable, a civil war is inevitable.
China has a great unification of ideas and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From the establishment of counties and counties by Emperor Qin Shihuang to the re-ethic order of Emperor Wu of Han, weakening the princes and kings, it is actually to avoid local autonomy.
Local autonomy has a very big disadvantage. Local governments have strong strength and do not have the center at all. People are not satisfied with their hearts and snakes swallow elephants, and they also want to establish a new central government. In the Chinese environment, this tradition has been endless for thousands of years.
In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, this political system was adopted that governed according to customs. In areas where ethnic minorities gathered a large number of ethnic minorities, resident states were established, which refers to the states placed by the ancient imperial court in remote ethnic minority areas. Due to the special circumstances, because of the customs, it is different from ordinary prefectures and counties. It is equivalent to the current autonomous regions. It is worth noting that the ancient resident land was not all young people, and the chieftains of Yang surname and Duan surname of Damengwen were all Han people. However, the Kokang area is no longer owned by China.
Of course, earlier, it was traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.
When he heard the saying of following the customs and governing the world, Chen Ying immediately shook his head and said, "This method is not advisable. The 100,000 troops of the Western Turks can use the general trend of defeating the 200,000 troops of the Western Turks to defeat the 200,000 troops, to defeat all races and dare not rebel. Once this elite force is transferred back to the pass, the Western Regions will be in chaos!"
Ma Mengming said: "If this is the case, then we can only rule from the right way. When Zhou Gong sent his son to Lu, he used the ritual and music culture of the orthodox dynasty of the Western Zhou Dynasty to teach the residents of Lu one by one, and forced them to transform them into Zhou people. Therefore, it took three years to be considered successful!"
"Okay, then let's take the right path!" Chen Ying pointed to the map and said, "You first change all the places in the Western Regions into prefectures and counties, report to the Chang'an court, and at the same time promulgate the Tang Dynasty laws and regulations to each prefectures and counties..."
When Luo Shixin heard this, he curled his lips and said, "Major Protector, this is probably a bit of a matter of course. Those barbarians may not abide by the laws of our Tang Dynasty!"
"They will abide by it!" Chen Ying said.
Ma Mengming shook his head and said, "Major Protector, they will definitely not abide by it!"
Chen Ying glared at Luo Shixin and pointed at him and said, "Is the guy in your hand a meal? If you don't abide by the law, kill him, kill him, and kill him if he should be kept, and kill him if he should be killed!"
Ma Mengming then realized that Chen Ying looked kind on the surface, and it turned out that he was also a cruel and ruthless person.
Chen Ying said again: "Now we must speed up!"
"Start up?" Ma Mengming looked puzzled: "How to speed up!"
"Change starts with speaking!" Chen Ying said: "From now on, all the soldiers of the army will learn from Tang Yan, Zhaowu Ninth Division and other divisions first. No matter what method I take, I must learn Tang Yan and the cities in the Western Regions within a month. For all the past business trips, they must trade with Tang Yan, otherwise a double language tax will be imposed!"
Ma Mengming felt that Chen Ying was hustling, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs.
Chen Ying said: "How much was the tax revenue in various parts of the Western Regions before?"
Ma Mengming said: "In the past, all regions basically used the tax on cow leg, and paid one leg for one cow head, four cows paid one cow, and four sheep paid one sheep."
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Okay, the taxes of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty are also implemented according to this. However, if you can speak Tang Yan, you don't need to be too proficient. You can speak Tang Yan in daily speaking, and you are half exempted from taxes. You can speak Tang Yan and write. You can be appointed as an official. Even if you are a tribal leader, you cannot be an official if you don't speak Tang Yan!"
Ma Mengming vaguely understood Chen Ying's intention, as if he was to use one hand knife and the other hand candied dates.
In fact, Ma Mengming didn't know how much Chen Ying complained about the compulsory learning of English in later generations.
Why should a Chinese learn foreign language?
Now Chen Ying has this opportunity. He decided to let tens of millions of people on the land from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and learn from tens of millions of miles of land bit the jam and learn from Tang Yan.
Haha. Haha, although I was very painful to learn, I wanted to saw my neck in pain, but I still had to hang my head and sting my head and pierce my thighs to learn that scene. It must be spectacular and tight! When I think of this, Chen Ying felt so happy!
Of course, Chen Ying also used the method of learning Tang Yan's tax reduction.
Although one-quarter of the tax revenue is high, they are already used to it. In this way, Chen Ying can first gain the favor of the Han people in the Western Regions or descendants of Han people in the Western Regions and their mixed-race children. After all, they can speak Tang Yan, and even if they can't speak, it will be very easy to learn. In this way, they have experienced the benefits of being a Tang people.
Gaochecheng was the first to implement Chen Ying's action to learn Tang Yan.
"eat……"
"shit……"
"You are so stupid!" A soldier from the Modao Army pointed to the butt of a soldier from the Ninth Division of Zhaowu and shouted: "What you pulled out is shit!"
"Pull it out...eat!"
The Modao Army soldiers beside them couldn't stand their smiles.
"I can't tell whether it's shit or eating, it's all a fucking fool!"
"eat……"
"shit!"
A hook and sickle cavalryman pointed at the hook and sickle in his hand and said, "Hook and sickle spear!"
A servant soldier from the Ninth Division of Zhaowu opened his eyes widened: "Dog Wall!"
"Dog Wall!" The hook and sickle lancesman was about to go wild: "I'll fuck your mother!"
"Left!"
The most troublesome thing is Cao Dan of the Cao tribe. He would say Tang Yan. Although his accent was a bit strange, his son Cao Yaqian just couldn't learn it.
Cao Dan pointed at a big watermelon and shouted: "Big watermelon!"
Cao Yaxi said: "Big chicken, put it!"
"Big watermelon!"
"Big...big chicken, let's do it!"
Cao Dan couldn't help it anymore and slapped it in the face.
Throughout the winter, learning Tang Yan is still full of enthusiasm.
However, Chen Ying likes this feeling very much.
There were roars of thunder everywhere and thunder everywhere. Seeing this scene, Chen Ying felt very relieved.
At this moment, Luo Shixin threw the iron spear at the door with a dejected look, sat heavily on the bed, and said to Chen Ying with annoyance: "Major Protector, please spare me. These people are too stupid to teach them at all!"
"Be patient!" Chen Ying looked at Luo Shixin and smiled: "If you have one-on-one teaching, you can master a language very quickly, especially in the environment where you need to speak and listen frequently, you may be able to master the daily language in a few days. We not only need to teach them Tang Yan, but also teach them to sing and write, but also care about their lives, be friends with them and be brothers, and make them trust us. First of all, we must trust them first. Cao Dan, you will choose a soldier from the Ninth Division of Zhaowu to join my personal guard later."
Cao Dan left happily.
Luo Shixin and Ma Mengming both exclaimed: "Major Protector, this is not allowed. If you are not my race, your heart will be different! This is not allowed."
"Yes," Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly: "The people of the Western Regions are actually a group of pure people. They worship the strong. The Protector of the Great Master has the power to defeat 200,000 Western Turks. They will willingly surrender to me. Besides, wasn't Ashinasmo the same? Don't worry, you have to believe me, I have the confidence to conquer him. If I don't even have the ability to conquer a personal soldier?"
Chen Ying naturally doesn't have to worry. His personal guards are usually in groups of three people and stand in a guard post. The meaning of mutual monitoring is very strong. Even if you want to murder Chen Ying, you don't have that chance.
"Major Protector is buying horse bones for a thousand gold coins!" Ma Mengming thought in his heart: "This is really a good intention!"
Most of the people in the Western Regions did not have any concept of "national integrity". When the Huns were strong, they were all Huns. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they called themselves Han people. When the Xianbei people were strong, they also called themselves Xianbei people. When the Turks were strong, they called themselves Turks.
Now the Tang Dynasty has become the master of the Western Regions. These people in the Western Regions found that although learning Tang Yan was painful, once they learned Tang Yan, they could pay half the tax. In the past, four sheep had to pay one sheep tax. Now that they have learned Tang Yan, they can pay half the tax. This kind of thing is actually more convincing than swords.
Later, people from the Western Regions gradually discovered that the Han people began to hang peach talismans in front of the door, which was the body of the Spring Festival couplet. The Han people took peach wood every day on the first day of the first lunar month and cut it into a style of six inches long and three inches wide. The name of the door god who wards off evil spirits and exorcises ghosts was painted on it, "Shentu Yulei", which hangs all year round.
When people from the Western Regions asked, they found out that the government would send a dowry of face to the family with peach talismans.
As a result, almost all urban and rural families in the Western Regions hung peach talismans.
In the time and space before Chen Ying traveled through time, because the country prefers the young people in all aspects, many people change their nation and change their ancestors when they see profitability. At the beginning, they just seek immediate benefits, and they have no consciousness of being a young people in their hearts. However, after two or three generations, after a long time of falsehood becomes true, the concept of nationality will naturally be formed.
In contrast to the ridiculous "turning Han into Hu" in later generations, at this time, the people of the Western Regions, especially those who rely on the West, took the initiative to "turning Hu into Han" to reduce taxes.
Of course, this kind of turning Hu into Han was also fake at the beginning, but because most people look yellow-skinned and dark-haired, many of them are mixed-blooded Hu and Han, and it is not rare for them to speak Chinese, so it is extremely easy to "pretend" Tang Min, that is, they hang a peach talisman at the door and change the style of their clothes.
In just one winter, Chen used taxation to attract, and the entire Western Regions, including the Yili River Valley area west of Gaochang, became Tang Dynasty, everyone taught Tang Dynasty, everyone wore Hanfu, performed Han rituals, and fought for Tang Dynasty people.
Because the Tang people can pay less taxes!
Of course, although Chen Ying asked these people from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions to pay less taxes, he didn't care at all. Because if he had a army of 100,000 in his hands, if he was still short of money, it would be a joke.
In fact, there are also many tribes who are obsessed with it, so they become history.
In April of the fourth year of Wude, the spring grass began to grow wildly.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty's Western Army, which had been in the winter, finally began to leave Gaoche and headed west.
The 100,000 troops were slowly advancing, and soldiers from all ethnic groups sang: "Why are you saying that you have no clothes and are with me? Wang Yu raised his troops and repaired my spear and spear. He shared his hatred with me..."
Although the voice was a bit weird, Chen Ying was very satisfied. It was already very rare to be able to reach this point in half a year. Ma Mengming was extremely impressed by Chen Ying at this moment. He did not expect that Chen Ying would use such a method to assimilate the Western Regions without bloodshed.
Now Gaochang City has been renamed Tingzhou City.
In the area east of Tingzhou City, everyone wears Hanfu and speaks Tang Yan. If you don’t consider the strange accent, this place is no different from the Central Plains.
