The discussion of the book friend Sloth Prince about the establishment of the Xia Kingdom(1/2)
One country, two systems
Random thoughts......
Daxia will be unified sooner or later, and it will expand sooner or later after unification.
After unification, the traditional inland territories of the Han people were under the direct control of the emperor, while Liaodong, North of the Great Wall, the Western Regions, Southern Xinjiang, and overseas areas were the territories of the vassal states for control and colonization.
The area entrusted by the princes is limited by the title (the title is obtained by military merit), and the division is mainly based on the situation and situation to facilitate defense. Each princedom forms a large military mansion, and a legion is organized in the military mansion. The leader of the legion will take turns to be in charge of the one with the highest title.
The territories under the jurisdiction of each major military government are not overlapping, and each has its own strategy and colonization direction.
---------------------------------------
The emperor established the Central Military Academy in the imperial capital, and each major military government established branch branches. The branch schools were under the direct management of the Central Military Academy and had no jurisdictional relationship with the princes. The descendants of all princes must enroll in the branch schools. Those who do not join are deemed to have given up their right to inherit the title.
The emperor established a feudal court in the imperial capital and branch courts in various places. The branch courts were under the direct control of the feudal court and had no jurisdictional relationship with the princes.
After the descendants of princes pass the graduation examination of the military academies in various places, the branch schools will report to the local title branches to determine the legal title inheritance rights.
The final successor will be chosen by the princes from all over the country among the above-mentioned descendants. The selected ones will have to go to the Central Military Academy in the imperial capital to continue their studies for three years before returning. Other descendants will serve in the military legions in various places. After winning military merits, they will be re-ennobled and their territories will be newly expanded.
Divide, indivisible, old territory.
In this way, the princes in various places have land to claim for their many descendants, so they can only maintain an offensive and expansion posture against foreign races; each descendant can also pursue something, and will not be comfortable and corrupt. At the same time, the old territory of each prince is not divided, avoiding such a situation.
The decline in the strength of the princes caused by policies such as "Tianfeng Order". In addition, since the territory of each princes will not grow and their strength is limited, they can only maintain the unity of the military and government and work together to attack the enemy.
-------------
Half of the taxes in the princes' territories belong to the princes and the other half to the emperor. The taxes that belong to the emperor are collected by the tax collection office established by the emperor. Civil affairs are decided by the princes in the military government through consultation.
-------------
In order to maintain the local military strength of the Han people and have a certain influence on the military offices in various places, the emperor's own army will take turns to go to the four military offices to help the military offices jointly attack. The military will be controlled by the emperor's generals and the generals of each military office.
Shang, food and salary were shared by the emperor and the princes from various places. The property gained from conquest and plunder was divided between the emperor's personal army and the legion, and most of it went to the emperor. However, the conquered land belonged to the princes of the legion.
Some megacities with particularly important strategic positions (such as Constantine in Eastern Luo) are not suitable to be owned solely by a certain prince or a certain legion. Or they will greatly affect the balance of power between princes and legions. They can be used as legions.
It is a free city where the emperor's troops are stationed, or a place directly under the emperor's jurisdiction where the emperor's own troops are stationed for rotation training and expedition.
---------------------------------------
The Han people's desire for land is unimaginable to many barbarians, but their habit of settling down and relocating is even more unimaginable to them.
The so-called garrisons, government troops, garrison, etc. can keep the soldiers strong in a short period of time, but as time goes by, they will inevitably fall into a strange cycle of fighting soldiers turning into auxiliary soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers turning into farmers and merchants.
In the vast newly expanded lands outside the direct control of the emperor, the Han people were originally a minority. It would be really sad if these limited number of Han people eventually became farmers and merchants. At the same time, the decline in the combat power of a small number of Han people will inevitably lead to the rule of foreign races in various places.
The rise of resistance.
Therefore, the final composition of each military mansion is composed of the vassal territories within the legion and the manors and pastures of Han warriors. The Han people in all military mansions are warriors. They usually practice martial arts and become Western knights.
Work on the manor's ranch was done by slaves of the dominant alien race.
Implement a naturalization policy for foreigners, change their hairstyle, wear Hanfu, and those who speak Chinese well can get rid of their slave status and become naturalized people. They are promoted to become Han family servants for generations. Their status is much higher than that of foreign slaves, assisting their masters and mistresses.
Handle the daily affairs of the farm and pasture. After several generations, after complete assimilation, the naturalized people can be promoted to the status of Han Chinese, and they can enter the military academy branch to study, join the army to serve, and gain military merit and be granted titles and lands.
In addition, children of naturalized families who have not obtained Han status for the time being, but are deeply trusted by their masters, can serve as personal soldiers when the master sends out troops, and can also lead the conscripted foreign cannon fodder regiments. Those who have military merits can use military merits to offset them and obtain Han status in advance.
.
The foreign cannon fodder regiments recruited during wartime are mainly composed of the low-status members of the foreign race. The low-status ones are used to kill the high-ranking ones, destroying the foreign race's concept of national value and status. Those who kill well can be selected as Han people's soldiers, or enter the Han people's army.
Serve as a steward at the farm and ranch in order to be promoted further.
A large number of prisoners of war during the war, some were handed over to the emperor, formed into labor groups, and worked hard in the Han people for generations, engaged in dangerous and high-risk industries such as mining, road building, city building, and bridge building, and worked to death. Others were in the military
The government itself formed a labor force. In addition to the above-mentioned high-risk tasks, it also had to carry out large-scale reclamation of newly expanded land. After the reclamation was successful, the mature fields were sold to the Han people at a low price or owned by the new lord of the land for free. The rest
Prisoners of war were sold by merchants back to the Han people's homeland and served as Han people's servants.
After a long period of "combing", it is hoped that the newly expanded territories will be completely cleaned up into a "New Han Territory" composed mainly of Han nobles, loyal naturalized people, and docile foreign slaves and civilians. Date: 2011-11-1311:

Send message 3: We do not support unlimited expansion. Many people have this idea, thinking that expansion is good. In fact, this is not the case. Throughout history, no nation that has expanded infinitely has been destroyed. However, China, which fought steadily, survived to the end.

Send message 4, quoting the 3rd floor "Does not support unlimited expansion" Quoting the 3rd floor Many people have this idea, thinking that expansion is good. In fact, this is not the case. Looking at history, most nations that expand infinitely will not be destroyed, but they will be able to fight steadily.
China lived to the end.
Posted by: zhoufeiyu Date: 2011-11-1415:47 No, no, no.
It does not necessarily mean that "all nations that expand infinitely will not be destroyed."
First of all, "infinite"---this statement itself is wrong. There seems to be no nation that has conquered the entire earth in history. If it refers to "large scale", then what about the British Empire, the Spanish Empire, and the Russian Empire? Even if they were eventually lost
The status of global hegemon cannot be said to be "annihilated", right?
The main problem of expansion leading to destruction is that the land area is too large, and the communication of information from superiors to subordinates is too slow to effectively control; the other is that there is no good "differentiation" and "severing" of the national identity ties of the indigenous peoples in the conquered areas. Or
The conquerors' civilization level was too low and they were assimilated by the conquered advanced civilization.
The expansion of the Mongol Empire took one year from east to west and from south to north. In desperation, it was divided into four major khanates. However, its own civilization level was too low, and it envied the lifestyle of the conquered people with higher civilizations, so
They were assimilated subtly (the four great khanates that were assimilated by different civilizations also tended to split); in addition, the comfortable and corrupt life also led to a rapid decline in combat effectiveness.
To expand, we must effectively destroy the local higher civilization and destroy the original social class identity model. When establishing our dominance, we must also pay attention to win over the original "low-ranking" or "unsteady" among the conquered, and we must
Reversely assimilate the opponent. You must prevent your own soldiers from being consumed by "daily affairs" (production is carried out by slaves of the conquered), and always maintain your combat effectiveness.
Also, the "dividends" of conquest must be extended to all soldiers of the nation to increase cohesion and sense of identity. Leaders cannot enjoy wealth and honor, while soldiers shed blood and sacrifice without gaining anything (or even have a lower status than the conquered who surrendered to them)
----------------------------------------
Expansion does not mean endless expansion of territory.
As far as China is concerned, the natural geography and landforms limit the inherent security territory of the "Han mainland". The expansion on this basis is to increase the strategic buffer and security defense scope of the "Han mainland". At the same time, it uses the material resources of the conquered colonies.
, reduce the life pressure of the local people and ensure the rapid development of productivity. (We must not "unify" the local and colonial areas!!! The cost of governance after unification is too high, and we cannot highly squeeze the other party to promote ourselves.)
In addition, in the process of expansion, they spread their own civilization and assimilated and transformed the minds of the local indigenous people. Even if the Han people leave the area due to other reasons in the future, the local indigenous people have completely lost their national soul and will unconsciously treat the Han people
There is a sense of identity and intimacy. (Have you ever seen that Indian Asan still misses his master Great Britain? Have you ever seen the hysterical piety of non-Arabian Muslims?)
Of course, if the local area can be thoroughly "sorted out", then the "purified" "New Han Dynasty" will naturally become a solid and indivisible inherent territory of the Han people. (Don't you see Canada, Australia, North and South America) (Well, it is not necessarily a government
, but it is definitely a nation.)

Send message 5, write whatever you want......................The internal problems of an empire are nothing more than military power, financial power, civil affairs and balance.
To firmly control the military, personnel issues are very important. Therefore, I suggested in my post to establish a "directly managed" "military academy" system and a "noble academy". This mainly solves the problem of leadership succession of a certain military group.
Regarding this issue, the central emperor must have the right to speak, but not the right to decide. This gives the military leaders the opportunity to choose their own successors without completely letting them go. In this way, "warlordization" can be avoided.
In addition, it solves the "promotion" problem of non-leader successors in the army. They must be given opportunities to move up, and interest groups must not be "solidified". However, at the same time, "small groups" must be avoided. Therefore, the original fiefdom should not be reduced
, and he was granted a title based on his military merits and another land.
To maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, there must be fighting. But soldiers are also human beings. They cannot be allowed to farm and herd in peacetime, abandon their wives in wartime, and pay their own money to go to the front line to bleed and fight. Therefore, give up farming, government soldiers, and garrison posts.
Policy, let’s firmly “chivalry” and “aristocratize”! (Let slaves do farming and herding.)
----------
Regarding financial power, I am more in favor of the "two tax system", haha, that is, "national tax" and "local tax". We must give local sweeteners and benefits. Strengthening the weak can only lead to death; but the emperor cannot be without money, otherwise the Ming Dynasty emperor
Our embarrassing situation has a long way to go.
