Han Shizu

Chapter 1670 Corrupt assimilation policy

Huangyangping is located in the hinterland of Yulin Road, under the rule of Xiazhou. It is about [-] miles away from the city of Xiazhou. It is on the edge of the desert. It is dominated by beach and beam land, supplemented by a large number of water pools around it. Therefore, it has become a large settlement of the Dangxiang tribe. land.

The Dangxiang tribe with Huang Yangping as the center is the Yelibu, which is the majority of the Dangxiang.Tracing back to the source of Dangxiang, there have been two large-scale internal migrations in the past few hundred years. First, the rise of Tubo, forced by the struggle between Tang and Tubo, moved to the Qinlong area, and then the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo entered Qinlong, and again Moved to the east and lived in Xia Suiling Qingyan for a long time. At the end of Tang Dynasty, with the rise of the Tuoba Li family, it completely became a powerful vassal town in the northwest.

During the change of party members, several large tribal alliances were formed, the "Dongshan tribe" located in the east of Longshan in Gyeongju, dominated by the Tuoba tribe, and the "Pingxia tribe" in the Juling, Yan, and Gyeongju areas , and there is the "Six Fubu" dominated by the Noribu.

Of course, with the rise of the great Han and the strong return of the Han army and Han people, the original world line was completely disrupted, and the process of the rise of the party members was also completely interrupted. The suppression and control was severe, and the lower-level tribesmen were scattered and relocated. In 20 years, no less than [-] party members were relocated to Shanyang, Yanshan, Andong and even their origins.

However, these actions are only palliative after all, not fundamental. The Dangxiang people in the Xiasui area still exist in the form of large and small tribes. Although the influence of the upper-level leaders and chiefs has been eliminated as much as possible, it still has a huge influence.

With the court's stricter ethnic policy, ethnic conflicts are also deepening, and party members' dissatisfaction with the court is also growing. By the 21st year of Kaibao, it has reached the point where it is hard to return.

The original intention of the imperial court or Emperor Liu was still good. They wanted to assimilate the party members, completely solve the party issue in the Northwest, and maintain the stability of the regime.The coerciveness and strictness of the policy may reflect Emperor Liu's distinctive personal style, but it is not tough and cannot be implemented at all.

However, problems with many policies are often at the implementation level, and the same is true for Yulin Road.To achieve the goal of national assimilation, it is best to eliminate culture and establish a new cultural identity. The center also issued an order to let the Yulin local government promote Chinese characters, Chinese words, Han clothing, and Han rituals among party members.

However, the idea is good, but some practical problems cannot be solved.To effectively implement the policies formulated by the imperial court requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but these are scarce in the local government. It's a drop in the bucket.

What's more, local officials are also afraid of difficulties, more lazy in politics, and not lacking in corruption, which also adds obstacles and difficulties to the implementation level.

However, at the moment when the authority of the imperial court is in full swing, they don't dare to openly violate the policies and guidelines from the capital. Therefore, if you do it, you can do it, and whether you can do it or not is another matter.

Under such circumstances, the local government also selectively promotes the implementation of the policies of the imperial court. On the one hand, they are simple and rude, and follow the rules;

For example, the government is working very hard to suppress its leaders and dignitaries, because it can dig out wealth from those party leaders and obtain benefits.For example, the disruption and emigration of its tribes is also well implemented. Those who disobey will be suppressed by sending troops. After the emigration is out of the country, it will be a matter for other places.

The party members who did not relocate were also dismantled and reorganized according to the requirements of the court, but only some unpopular personnel changes were carried out, and their living forms and living customs did not change much.

In the early stage, we had to do our best, and there was supervision, which had a certain degree of binding force. Later, except for the surrounding areas of important cities, the rest of the Guangzhou area was basically in a state of laissez-faire in terms of reform and innovation and changing customs.

As for the establishment of schools to teach Chinese characters and Chinese to Dangxiang children, it is only within the towns, like sending special personnel to teach in Dangxiang settlements, and there are also only a few sporadic spots, pretending to be inspected.

The subjective reason for such a situation is that the local bureaucrats are delaying in implementation, and the objective reason is that there is a lack of scholars in the localities. Even if there are, no one is willing to burn themselves in the party settlements and contribute knowledge.

Due to various reasons, by the 21st year of Kaibao, many ethnic assimilation policies formulated by the imperial court in the past had basically declared failure after less than ten years of implementation. Especially in the Yulin area, it was a mere formality. It's empty.

Of course, it was not without success. For example, the Xi people in Yanshan North Road, such as the Khitan people in the territory who had settled down, were domesticated very smoothly. This was also due to the successful northward invasion of the Central Plains culture during the Liao Dynasty.

The Yulin area naturally has its particularity, the particularity of the region, and the particularity of the nation.The decision-making layer is responsible for the current corrupt situation, and the executive layer is also responsible. Of course, the recalcitrance and xenophobia of the party members are also key factors.

And from the blunt performance of local bureaucrats in Yulin, some problems can also be reflected. In fact, they are not very accepting of the policies of the imperial court.

Probably because they feel that it is too troublesome. According to the thinking of many people, there are precedents to follow for these attached Hu tribes.

Offending those chiefs and leaders at the top, tossing the gangsters at the bottom, and the bureaucrats in the middle are still troublesome, which is really unpopular.And as the local authorities, what they want is stability, as long as there is no trouble in office, the imperial government's forced assimilation policy has really added a lot of trouble to them. They are here to be officials, not to sit on the stove .

The turmoil of the party members in Xiazhou made the bureaucrats of Yulin Road completely alert, because it was Liu Chengxi who was dismissed from office in that turmoil. He was a serious royal family member. foreign minister.

However, what the bureaucrats are vigilant about is that there should be no further disturbances, at least no turmoil with a rebellious nature. For this reason, some local officials even did not hesitate to cover up and even made some compromises with the party members.In their view, as long as you don't cause trouble for the government, and the government doesn't trouble you, everyone will live in peace.

Of course, not all officials are like this, and there are some who do their best to act positively, but no matter how they do it or the means, they are all rigid. Also in order to reduce troubles, they are easy to apply across the board, tough, powerful and even unreasonable.

There is something even more excessive, that is, some officials and generals took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to rectify the party clan, profited from it, enslaved and invaded the party clan people wantonly, and squeezed their wealth.

There are all kinds of chaos. When the Xiasui area returned to the imperial court for 20 years, the local situation was already very corrupt. The party members complained, the contradictions continued to intensify, and the uneasiness continued to spread. It was like a pile of dry firewood. A spark can ignite.

This is only a matter of party members and Hu people. The local bureaucrats and the powerful Han people who migrated to the border are also full of contradictions. In such an environment, people are confused and want to change.

The imperial court was not unaware of the local situation. Whether it was the local people of insight or the report of the Wu Desi, they all meant to warn.

However, after all, they are far away, whether it is the emperor Liu or the ministers of the political affairs hall, they are only some negative effects in the process of policy implementation.Thinking about the Qianyou era, the many policies formulated by the imperial court also caused a lot of disturbances, including major rebellions. How serious can the so-called instability of Yulin Road be?
It wasn't until last year that with the outbreak of the Black Khan mission case and the appearance of the Mingsha bandits, the court finally paid enough attention to the law and order chaos in the Northwest. It's just a full-scale blow, not a radical cure.

With the development of various investigations in the Northwest, the real side hidden under the curtain of Kaibao Shengshi has finally revealed the tip of the iceberg.

When Emperor Liu was involved in the internal affairs of the imperial court, and the courtiers were also attracted by the turbulent political situation, Li Jiqian took the lead in raising the flag of rebellion before he had time to implement a comprehensive rectification and governance policy in the northwest.

There is no doubt that Li Jiqian is the flame that ignited the chaos in the Northwest.Of course, the impact of this flame was not that great in the early stage, and even seemed fragile. After all, the power of the Han court was still strong. Even if they were full of complaints, few people dared to rebel like Li Jiqian and confront the court head-on.

But at the same time, the imminent movement is inevitable. Without the support of the party forces, how could thousands of party members follow Li Jiqian to raise troops.And when Li Jiqian was defeated and fled to the Gobi, the cover of the local tribe was also indispensable.

For example, the Ministry of Yeli, due to its geographical location, has become the key target of the Xiazhou government's investigation. Even without any evidence, it can be concluded that the Ministry of Yeli must have links with the rebellious Li Jiqian.

Therefore, in the past six months, the life of the Yelibu has become even more difficult. Xiazhou Zhizhou Shangguan is ordering the Yelibu to report to each other, and there will be rewards for reporting. At the same time, the garrison is also dispatched under the mobilization of the capital. Martial law investigation, and following the instructions from Tokyo, with the endorsement of the center, it will be even more unscrupulous
