Chapter 226 Intermarriage
The childish eagle spreads its wings.
It's time to fly high.
Feng Tang is old and Li Guang is difficult to be granted.
This is a regret that happened in the Han Dynasty. Taking history as a mirror, Li Yuan did not want his subordinates to be unable to improve their abilities due to various reasons.
In terms of employment, he has always been bold and open-minded. In the past, Wang Shang, Luo Jia, Cao Xin were the same, and Li Zhongxiang was the same.
Li Zhongxiang is young and has outstanding personal shooting skills. Li Yuan is looking forward to his better performance on the battlefield, especially in the battlefield against foreign humiliation of the Huns. This may be the best reward for Li Yuan to the Li clan.
He sent Bai Guangji and Li Zhongxiang all the way across the Dahe Ferry. Li Yuan stood there for a long time until they could no longer be seen.
After this journey, there are so many difficulties. I wonder if they can survive.
I don't know if I can see it again after this. After all, the power of the Huns is now in its heyday, and Maodun is also a hero among people. If there is a mistake, Li Yuan will lose two generals one after another.
However, if Bai Guangji and Li Zhongxiang were not allowed to take an envoy, he would see the Huns' army quickly pacify the Western Regions, and if Maodun faced Qin early, it would disrupt Li Yuan's entire plan.
There is only eternal benefit between countries, no eternal enemies or friends.
Facing the common enemy of the Huns, Qin State needs allies, and the same is true for the Great Yuezhi, unless they are willing to bow their heads and admit defeat.
In the time and space of history, the Great Yuezhi gradually drifted away from us, and finally established a new kingdom - Kushan, in Central Asia and the Indian Peninsula.
On the road to fighting against the Huns, although the Great Yuezhi was not reliable, in terms of the current situation, it was the only choice. If the Great Yuezhi people still did not have the courage to regain their own place after lobbying, Li Yuan could only try to support the city-states in the Western Regions like the great Han in history.
"Havenly God, come back, I believe they will not disappoint people." The figure gradually disappeared. Luo Jia led the horse's reins and prayed softly. Although he was worried, Luo Jia's face was still full of confidence.
Like Li Yuan, Luo Jia, who was accompanying him to see him off, had his eyes wet. Just now, he secretly ordered people to stuff a bronze mail carefully made by craftsmen in Bai Guangji's luggage, hoping that it could help this brother who was fighting in danger in times of crisis.
Li Yuan turned over the horse and urged the horse to gallop eastward. Luo Jia understood that everyone had his own tasks. Bai and Li accepted the arduous task. They had embarked on the journey, and Li Yuan himself could not disappoint his subordinates.
——.
Safety of the Western Regions.
The smooth flow of the Silk Road.
For the current Qin State, it is just a future threat.
As the territory of Qin expanded, some hidden contradictions and problems gradually emerged. The difficulty of governing a large country with a vast territory and a small country is completely different.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are staged in different places, making people unable to defend against them. Just like the difficulty level of the game, it increases wildly with multiples.
After solving the problems in Hedong and Jiuyuan, Li Yuan's footprints stayed in Longxi.
The situation in Longxi County is different from Jiuyuan County, which is mainly border troops. The internal affairs here are more complicated. The main reason is that a large number of Qiang people, and the Yuezhi people were forced to move inward by the Huns, which made only one-quarter of the main ethnic groups living in Longxi County, and three-quarters of them were from all ethnic groups.
Among all ethnic groups, the Xiaoyuezhi people are the most common.
This tribe that was defeated in the battle between the Yuezhi and the Huns for the Hexi Corridor has now completely collapsed, with only one separate tribe after another.
In the past year, these little Yuezhi people were able to keep their composure and not cause trouble. However, in recent times, it is obvious that the conflicts between the Yuezhi people, the Qin people and the Qiang people have intensified.
If this tense ethnic relationship cannot be properly handled, Longxi will become a powder keg within Qin. Once an internal strife occurs, the portal to the west of Qin will automatically open without the Huns.
Dido.
Li Yuan convened important officials in Longxi to discuss matters and discuss how the Xiaoyuezhi people deal with matters.
"What the hell is going on? You both have some reasons. As for who is right, I will make a decision?" Li Yuan sat down and shouted at Luo Jia and Li Zheng with a stern face.
The problem in Longxi.
It seems to be a national conflict, but in fact, it is the result of different opinions among the officials in charge.
On how to deal with the Xiaoyuezhi people, Luo Jia, the county magistrate who represents the military, and Li Zheng, the county magistrate who represents local governance, have different opinions.
Luo Jia's proposal is very simple, and continue to forcefully suppress the aliens among the Xiao Yuezhi people. At the same time, increase the pace of further relocation of the Yuezhi people, thereby completely differentiating the unstable factors that affect Longxi's stability.
Li Zheng's opinions were slightly different. In his book, Li Zheng mentioned that blindly suppressing strongly may further intensify ethnic conflicts and push many Yuezhi people who just want to live a peaceful and stable life to the opposite of Qin. If the Yuezhi people do not cause trouble, they cannot simply kill them.
"Do you know what the Xiao Yuezhi people are asking?" Li Yuan frowned and asked Luo Jia and Li Zheng.
One is an old subordinate who has been with him for many years, and the other is his second brother. From a bloody perspective, Li Zheng is undoubtedly closer, but in terms of personal emotions, Li Yuan is more inclined to Luo Jia, who has shared the joys and sorrows. As a superior, impartiality is the most appropriate attitude.
"Shenhou, this Yuezhi people are hateful. Since November, our army's grain transport team has been constantly attacked. Judging from the robbers who were killed alone, it was the Yuezhi people who were doing it. How can these guys who have revenge for their grudges and revenge not killing them? " Luo Jia said angrily.
Under Li Yuan's questioning, Li Zheng's expression was a little nervous, but after a moment of pondering, he clarified his thoughts and said: "After the Shenhou, the Xiaoyue people moved in, the Yuezhi King was stranded in Xianyang for a long time and did not return, the Yuezhi tribe had no leader, and some tribe elders gradually lost their voice. Among them, a few brave and arrogant Yuezhi people began to have different ambitions, and under the guise of the obvious spirit of the tribe god, they recruited some people who did not know the truth to join. The ultimate goal of these people was to reintegrate the various Yuezhi tribes and form an independent force in Longxi to confront the central government."
Li Zheng, while analyzing, took out a volume of excerpts from behind, bowed and handed it to Li Yuan. At home, he was the eldest, Li Yuan was the youngest, and in the officialdom, the relationship between superiors and subordinates was determined. If Li Zheng had any mistakes or negligence in handling internal affairs, Li Yuan would not be merciless.
Li Zheng's book records in detail, almost including the population situation of the tribes resettled after Xiao Yuezhi moved in, as well as the current situation and difficulties they are facing.
From Li Zheng's bamboo slips, we can see that the younger generation of the Yuezhi people has gradually grown up. If there is no suitable channel to guide them, these Yuezhi people who are full of energy and fear that the world will remain unstable will become a factor of instability. At the beginning, the Xiao Yuezhi people moved in and were scattered and placed. Although possible instability was solved in a short period of time, as time goes by, if the Yuezhi people cannot be completely integrated into the Qin system, it will eventually be an internal problem.
"The Lord Shen, my subordinates have a suggestion. Since the Yuezhi people are causing trouble, why not just initiate an army composed of the Yuezhi people? As long as we have the right control, we can use the Yuezhi to control the Yuezhi and completely eliminate those disobedient and troublemakers." Li Zheng saw that Li Yuan did not speak for a long time, and coughed and advised him.
"This is a good idea for the Yuezhi people's army. Those Yuezhi people are tall, with blue eyes and yellow beards, and are good at throwing and manipulating large equipment. If they are commanded properly, they are also a surprise soldier."
Before Li Yuan could answer, Luo Jia's eyes lit up and he praised him loudly. The conflict between him and Li Zheng was just a reason for different political views, and there was no barrier between them. From Luo Jia's perspective, as long as the suggestions to enhance the strength of the Qin army in Longxi were all good ideas, no matter who proposed this method.
Form the Yuezhi Army.
Li Yuan measured gains and losses in his heart.
The existence of an alien army is undoubtedly good news for the Yuezhi people. After absorbing the advanced training experience of the Qin army, the combat effectiveness of the Yuezhi army is obvious.
However, if such a force is not properly controlled, it is very likely to become like the separatist rule of the late Tang vassal states and the consequences of the chaos of foreign races. The key is how to control it.
"What else do you have to think? County Magistrate Li might as well say it together." Li Yuan looked at Li Zheng with encouraging eyes. A civilian official could say this, which made Li Yuan look at him with some admiration.
This cheap second brother was very unlucky in history. He became a dead head with his father Li Si early on. Now he survived by chance, but he never thought that he had such insights.
"The rule of the Emperor Shenhou, the establishment of the Yuezhi Army is the first step. Next, the subordinates are preparing to promote the joint governance of the Qin people and the Yuezhi people in Longxi, so that the women of Yuezhi and the men of my Great Qin form a couple. I believe that in the next generation, they will be the males of my Great Qin." Li Zheng continued.
"Intermarriage is indeed a solution, but what if the Yuezhi man does not agree to the marriage of the woman in his clan?" Li Yuan smiled and interrupted and asked.
At this moment, he suddenly felt like a tutor was testing students on stage. It was obvious that Li Zheng had carefully considered the problem of Yuezhi, and believed that he would have clearer ideas on the details of how to intermarry.
"My women in the Qin Dynasty can also marry the Yuezhi people, but the way needs to be changed. It is the women in the Qin State who marry the Yuezhi men. Of course, in order to compensate the Yuezhi people, every time they marry a Yuezhi male, the Yuezhi family who has been born will enjoy a tax reduction and exemption. The subordinates believe that if this policy is implemented in the Yuezhi people, it can also be implemented to the Qiang people, Ba people, Zero people, and even the Huns--." Li Zheng said confidently.
