Chapter 643 Those who don't want us to live must die
As for the attached tribes, with the current strong and civilized status of the Han Empire, they don't need to worry too much if they want to completely assimilate them.

But the Han Empire definitely couldn't do nothing, what should be done still had to be done, otherwise they would be able to maintain the state of the Southern Huns for a long time if they let their freedom go.

And Liu Bei wants to speed up this process.

So he spends money to promote the assimilation policy, which super doubles the assimilation process in terms of living customs and culture.

In addition, politics must also be accelerated.

The Southern Huns had to implement the establishment of the Liangzhou New Deal from the time they joined the household registration of the Han Empire, based on the establishment of collective farms, and fully implemented the management of the Liangzhou New Deal.

Jiangyi County was managed and taught by officials and teachers sent by the imperial court, in order to master the knowledge that an ordinary Han citizen should master in the shortest possible time, so as to better become a Han citizen.

They need to further master the perfect agricultural knowledge, and further complete the organization and training to become professional farmers. They must restore Jiangyi County as a large grain-producing county as soon as possible, and the farming season must not be missed.

Then Liu Bei was still ready.

It takes a long time to tame a beast. For a guy who has seen blood, the best way to tame it is to pull out the minions.

So Liu Bei announced that more than [-] adult men and elite soldiers of the former Southern Xiongnu leadership headed by Yu Fuluo would all be incorporated into the Han army sequence. The respective assessment standards are compiled into each army.

This strategy was proposed by Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu believed that although the Southern Huns surrendered now, the fighting power of their tribe would still exist for a long period of time. This was a hidden danger in terms of security.

To eliminate this hidden danger, the best way is to recruit troops.

"Recruiting the most elite fighters of their clan, together with the original leaders, big and small, into the army and managing them, for the remaining Southern Huns, it is equivalent to pulling out their minions."

Cheng Yu made such a suggestion.

Liu Bei agreed with this strategy and adopted it.

Liu Bei promised that Yu Fuluo's status would still be at the level of General Zhonglang, and his subordinates would not be lower than the ranks of school lieutenant, military commander, etc. according to their original status, and would enjoy the normal benefits of Han army officers. He was a Hun and was treated harshly.

As for the others, it depends on their actual abilities.

Because there are too many outstanding talents in the Han army, if Yu Fuluo and others don't work hard enough, it's only natural that they won't succeed.

The problem of the Southern Huns has been completely resolved so far.

It only takes some time, and within three to five years, everything will be settled, and the Southern Xiongnu, an ethnic group with a relatively far-reaching influence in Chinese history, will be completely integrated into the entire Han ethnic group.

Because of this achievement, Liu Bei was once again awarded by the imperial court and praised by many scholars in Luoyang City. They believed that Liu Bei easily solved the problem of the Southern Huns that had plagued the imperial court for nearly 100 years, and made the Southern Huns no longer exist. This credit is really too great.

So once again there were voices from the ruling and opposition parties to give Liu Bei a higher level of rewards, which made the Empress Dowager Dong very distressed and didn't know how to reward Liu Bei.

Liu Bei didn't pay attention to this matter. The problem of the Southern Huns was easy to solve, but the problem of the Bingzhou bandits was not easy to solve, so at that time his energy was focused on the matter of the Bingzhou bandits.

But in fact, compared with the problem of the Southern Huns, the problem of the bandits in Bingzhou was not more difficult to solve.

Although Zhang Yan's control over his subordinates is not very strong, and the mountain people's trust in the court is basically negative, but the person who handles this matter is Zhang Yan, not someone appointed by Liu Bei.

Therefore, Zhang Yan did not follow Liu Bei's way of thinking in Liangzhou, but used his own method - a simple and rude shortcut.

The first thing is to deal with the subordinates who have soldiers in their hands.

The die-hards who are unwilling to cooperate have been cleaned up before, and now those who remain are more gentle and have seen the strength of the Han army, so they will be more rational in consideration, knowing Liu Bei's requirements, and understanding Liu Bei's conditions, everyone summed up together.

Eighteen of the 21 chiefs, big and small, agreed, and the remaining three were full of worries. They suspected that the imperial court was trying to get rid of them step by step, so they had to take measures.

Such as resistance.

So Zhang Yan nodded, threw the cup as a sign, and killed the three people.

"Those who don't want us to live must die."

It is not the first time for Zhang Yan's ruthless decisiveness. The 18 people present felt a little inexplicable sense of sight, but they didn't say anything. Afterwards, they began to rectify their respective teams according to Zhang Yan's arrangement, and began to urge The mountain people went down the mountain to accept the reorganization of the Bingzhou government.

In all fairness, if the mountain people are to go down the mountain on their own, it is really unnecessary. As far as they think of the court, not treating the court as an enemy is considered an extrajudicial favor. It is also normal to treat the court as an enemy of life and death. things.

So letting them return to their household registration is tantamount to letting them fall into the trap.

But the problem is that Zhang Yan and the others are going to be officials, so they can only let the mountain people vote for it, to show that they and the court wear a pair of pants, and the mountain people will definitely go down the mountain obediently in despair, if they don’t go down the mountain Some of them were also forced to go down the mountain.

So when things got to this point, there was nothing to talk about. The mountain people were driven down the mountain in piles and piles. Zhang Yan and others took the initiative to become the bad guys.

The mountain people who were driven down the mountain were first resettled in Taiyuan County and Yanmen County. All of them followed the Liangzhou New Deal method, with the collective farm as the grassroots unit, and started a large-scale grouping operation.

Because of the shortage of manpower, Man Chong even discussed with Guan Yu, and urgently recruited more than 1000 soldiers to join the Bingzhou Governor's Office as temporary clerks to assist the Bingzhou Governor's Office in handling civil affairs.

At the same time, the imperial army also started a large-scale destructive action against the powerful armed Han people in Bingzhou, but anyone who did not accept the slave restriction order would be labeled as rebellious, that is, exterminate.

Guan Yu and Qianzhao are very happy, because they have made military exploits again.

The rebels in all counties and counties were dispatched by them to wipe out one by one, and attacked at multiple points. The army was led by captains and military marquises, and attacked from multiple directions. It didn't take much effort to deal with those powerful tribes.

From the first ten days of June to the first ten days of July, within one month, Guan Yu and Qianzhao destroyed a total of 15 families and obtained more than [-] male and female slaves, most of whom were young and strong men and women.

The actions of the imperial army in Bingzhou and Sili areas not only dealt a heavy blow to the centrifugal forces in the two areas, but after the news spread, it also had a deterrent effect on some people in other areas.

The appearance of a military strongman is the first time in the entire history of the empire. The powerful forces in the Sili area and Bingzhou area have not had time to adapt to this, while the powerful forces in other areas have had time to adapt, but this process is too scary. .

In particular, Liu Bei has been so ruthless in these two areas. People in other areas have every reason to suspect that this is just the beginning. Liu Bei will send troops to their areas at any time to carry out the same action. If they do not agree to implement the slave restriction will be completely eradicated.

And Liu Bei's force is so strong that they can't fight against it.

Wherever the news of the slavery ban spread, the powerful forces in that place became gloomy. People with some ideas started to move, and people who lacked flexibility and prudence even began to think about whether to sell their property and flee to places further south to avoid Liu Bei's power. .

It is an unshakable fact that Liu Bei's power has moved from Kansai to Kanto.

Liangzhou is his base camp, the place where he started, and after the implementation of the slave restriction order in Sili area and Bingzhou, all the forces that oppose him will be eradicated by him, so what will be his next step?
Yizhou?Youzhou?Or Jizhou?Or Yuzhou?
These places have Liu Bei's tentacles of power, and Liu Bei's cronies are serving as officials. His power and military power are constantly expanding, gradually expanding to a point where everyone feels extremely uncomfortable and fearful.

Is the rule of the military strongman such a terrible thing?

Is it such a terrifying thing that force is not as good as human beings?
