Shu Chen

Chapter 504

Abandoned several times, and having seen the majesty of the Han Dynasty being trampled on for decades, it is inevitable that the survivors of the Han family and the Qianghu tribe in Beidi County will no longer have respect for the great Han.

Zheng Pu also knew this well.

Therefore, when Wang Hua was entrusted to negotiate with them, he also anticipated many compensation policies in advance.

Instead, three options are provided for them to choose.

One, the whole family or clan migrated to the now desolate Anding County.

As long as they are willing to be incorporated into the household registration by the big Han, the government of Anding County will draw acres of pastures for them, build a house, and provide them with grain and farm tools, etc., and they will not be taxed or corvee for three years.

If you want to join the army, you should first give money to settle down your family and then join the army.

Secondly, it is to become a vassal of the great Han.

Regardless of the Qiang Hu or the survivors of the Han family, the big Han will give them the treatment of the custodial policy according to the story of the previous dynasty; and within three years, there is no need to bear the vassal obligations of tribute and conscripts.And the imperial court will send officials to their habitats to teach the young man in their family, pass on etiquette, and resolve conflicts between their tribes or towns.

If there are those who are recruited for the country, they will not hesitate to reward them with official positions and financial resources.

Finally, there is the way of cooperation.

Before the big man entered Chang'an and Dingding Pass, they didn't need to support the big man.

It should be the responsibility of the big Han to make up for the previous abandonment of the territory, leaving them without shelter to fend for themselves, so they are not allowed to entrust their wealth and lives to the Han army before the Wei army is defeated.

But you must not communicate with Ni Wei secretly!
Don't be a merchant who sells strategic materials such as war horse leather horn tendon and against Wei in private!
Naturally, the daily necessities they need, the big man will open a military market to solve them for them.

And if they are willing to join the army, the big man will invite them to fight by hiring them.

It is an independent camp, and all supplies and food and fodder are provided by the big Han; and the resources are given before the war, and the rewards or pensions for meritorious service after the war are the same as those of the soldiers of the Han army.

Of the above three, no matter which one they choose, the big man's garrison in Anding County will provide them with shelter.

For example, the invasion from the Wei army, or the raids from the nomadic tribes in the Hetao Plain.

As long as their tribes or settlements are attacked and they send people to ask for help, even if the battle between the big man and Wei Wei is urgent, the big man will send troops to protect them and seek justice for them.

Anyone who commits a crime against a strong man is bound to die!

The words of Chen Tang in the former Han Dynasty are now the promise given to them by the big man.

Zheng Pu felt that such an arrangement was full of sincerity.

However, some people just want to swallow elephants like snakes!
Wang Hua traveled around Beidi County for nearly a month, and discussed with them countless times, but the result he brought back was that they got worse.

They chose the third.

But on the basis of Zheng Pu's proposal, there are two more things to add.

One is to let the great Han send more than a hundred craftsmen to teach them skills, such as building barriers, making farm tools, iron smelting, salt refining, weaving, and medical skills; .

In order to make up for their backwardness and ignorance due to difficulty in communicating with the Central Plains over the years.

They don't think this request is too much.

Because this is what the big man owes them.

In the past, when the Han court took the sons of Liangjia from the six prefectures as the troops and horses, every time the great Han opened up territories or fought against the Xiongnu and Xianbei, behind it was the silent contribution of the ancestors who buried their bones in other places, promoting the majesty of the Han Dynasty with blood and sincerity.

However, the big man abandoned them like trash!

And not just once!
Nowadays, it is reasonable for them, the descendants, to seek justice for their fathers and ancestors.

They don't care whether the big Han who rose from Bashu is still the same old Han, but as long as Zheng Pu let them return as Han people again, and wants them to continue the sincerity of serving the country of the good families of the six counties, then they will make up for the debt first.

This is the basis of mutual trust between the two parties.

Otherwise, they who have been abandoned several times, can't believe that the big man won't treat them like nothing and abandon them again in the future.

The other is to clarify the relationship between the two parties in the future.

For example, if the big Han regained Guanzhong, they would naturally support the Han Dynasty, but in the form of a vassal.

Yes, it's not about resetting counties, sending prefects or county magistrates to control them, registering them as households, collecting taxes and serving corvee.

Now they have already figured out their own way of survival, and they don't want to be broken and induce new turmoil.

Therefore, they also felt that there was no need for the big man to restore Beidi County.

And after the conditions were raised, facing Wang Hua's categorical refusal, they were earnest.

Claiming that the world is now divided into three parts, the big man should spend his limited money, food and supplies on the crusade against Wei Wei, and there is no need to reset Beidi County to invest too much for them.

In other words, they were vaguely threatening.

It is to remind them that the battle between Han and Wei has not yet been decided. They have multiple choices. If the big man does not agree to their additional conditions, they do not mind seeking the asylum of Wei.

Anyway, the throne of Wei State was abdicated by Emperor Xian himself.

Whether forced or voluntary, for them, entering the Wei country is also a return to China's clothes, and it is not a loss of the glory defended by their fathers and ancestors in the past.

At the beginning of summer, standing next to the waterfall, you can feel the coolness.But Wang Hua, who had finished telling the story, was filled with righteous indignation, and he pleaded with Zheng Pu, "General, I secretly think that they have been out of etiquette for too long, and they are already domineering! Our army must not tolerate it. Raise an army to challenge them, and wish to be a pawn in front of the horse! After spending these days trekking to and from various ministries in the northern land, I have already found out their habitats and pastures!"

However, Zheng Pu was noncommittal about his request.

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, he smiled wryly, "Bo Yuan doesn't need to get angry. As the saying goes, punishments can't be added to innocence, and evil can't defeat a righteous man. Although he is domineering, it doesn't mean that he has committed the crime of being a big man. It is not appropriate for the army to ask for it. Well, since they have a lot to ask for, and I can't have it all, let him go. Boyuan has had a lot of hard work in recent days. After returning to Linjing, he will rest for three to five days, and then Let’s act together with Zhang Boqi to take charge of the integration of the Qianghu tribe in Yuezhicheng.”

Uh!
let him go?
Hearing this, Wang Hua was slightly taken aback.

They are provocative and intimidating, but our army doesn't pursue them?
When was the general so magnanimous.
cough!
After a while, Wang Hua came back to his senses, and asked anxiously, "The general's intention is that our army ignore it and let them do as they please?"

"Ah."

Zheng Pu nodded lightly, "Their hearts are not enough, so just let him go and ignore it. But after Boyuan returned to Linjing, he told Xu Zizhong and Zhang Zichan for me to send more scouts to patrol Mudwater Valley."

"promise!"

Although he was puzzled, Wang Hua didn't dare to say any more when he saw Zheng Pu's sickly look, and took his orders to leave.

However, seven or eight days later, he hurried over again.
