Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 675

Chapter 88 Qin Feng Singing in Thousand Miles of the Western Regions
"In the Western Regions, there are many clans and factions. It's not difficult to take down, but the difficult thing is to govern!" Chen Ying looked at Ma Mengming and said with a smile: "Ma joined the army and served as the governor of Gaochang for more than ten years. He must have a lot of experience in governing the Western Regions." Bar?"

Ma Mengming thought for a while and said, "There are no more than two ways to govern a place, governing from the righteous, and governing from the commonplace!"

Chen Ying was greatly surprised.He naturally knows that governing according to the custom means respecting local customs and self-government in a literal sense.Govern the locals by the locals.

Many people actually advocate following the custom, but in fact, this policy has failed.

Once the central government loses its binding force, the locality will definitely disintegrate, and the country will also be divided into countless small countries, and it is possible that one country may be one country or one city may be one country.

The most famous is the Soviet Union, or Russia.In fact, it is a country with a high degree of autonomy. However, the self-government and the central government will definitely confront each other because of conflicts of interest. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.The boss wants to make more money, and the workers want to work less. Once the contradictions cannot be reconciled, civil war is inevitable.

China is a great unified thought, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.From Qin Shihuang's establishment of prefectures and counties to Han Wudi's decree of enforcing grace and weakening the princes and kings, in fact, it was to avoid local autonomy.

Local self-government has a very big disadvantage. The local power is strong, and the central government is not a bird at all.In the Chinese environment, this tradition has been going on for thousands of years.

In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, this kind of political system was also adopted.Jimi prefectures were set up in areas with a large concentration of ethnic minorities, which refers to the prefectures established by the ancient imperial court in remote ethnic minority areas.Due to the special situation, it is different from general states and counties because of its common belief.Equivalent to the current autonomous region.It is worth noting that not all the ancient Jumi lands were young people. The chieftains with the surname of Yang in Kokang and the chieftains with the surname of Dameng Wenduan were all Han Chinese.However, the Kokang area is no longer owned by China.

Of course, earlier, it dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

When Chen Ying heard the words "rule according to the common customs", Chen Ying immediately shook his head and said: "This method is definitely not advisable. The capital protects a 20 army and takes advantage of the general trend of defeating the [-] army of the Western Turks. If you dare to rebel, once this elite team is transferred back to the pass, the Western Regions will be in chaos!"

Ma Mengming said: "If that's the case, then the only way to rule is through righteousness. When the Duke of Zhou sent his son to the State of Lu, he used the ritual and music culture of the orthodox Dynasty of the Western Zhou Dynasty to teach the residents of the State of Lu one by one, and he insisted on transforming them. Zhou people, so it took three full years to be considered a success!"

"Okay, let's rule from the ground up!" Chen Ying pointed to the map and said, "You first change all the Western Regions into prefectures and counties, report to the Chang'an imperial court, and at the same time promulgate the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty to all prefectures and counties. ..."

When Luo Shixin heard this, he curled his lips and said, "General Protector, I'm afraid this is a bit taken for granted. I'm afraid those barbarians won't abide by the laws of our Great Tang!"

"They will obey!" Chen Ying said.

Ma Mengming shook his head and said, "General Protector, they will definitely not abide by it!"

Chen Ying stared and pointed at Luo Shidao: "The guy in your hand is for food? If you don't abide by the law, you will be killed if you should be killed, locked up if you should be locked up, and beheaded if you should be beheaded!"

It was only then that Ma Mengming discovered that Chen Ying, who looked kind on the surface, turned out to be a ruthless master.

Chen Ying said again: "We must speed up now!"

"Speed ​​up?" Ma Mengming looked puzzled: "How to speed up!"

"Change starts with speaking!" Chen Yingdao: "From now on, all the soldiers in the army should learn Tang Yan, Zhaowu Nine Departments and other departments first. No matter what method I take, I must learn Tang Yan within one month. , but all business travelers in the past must use Tang dialect for transactions, otherwise the language tax will be doubled!"

Ma Mengming felt that Chen Ying was messing around, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs.

Chen Yingdao: "How much were the taxes in the Western Regions before?"

Ma Mengming said: "In the past, the ox leg tax was basically used everywhere, that is, one ox head pays one leg tax, four oxen pay one ox, and four sheep pay one sheep."

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Okay, the taxation of the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty is also implemented according to this. However, if you can speak Tang dialect, you don't need to be too proficient. You can speak daily spoken language, half of the tax exemption, you can speak Tang dialect, and you can write. , can be appointed as an official, even the tribal leader, who can't speak Tang dialect, is not allowed to be an official!"

Ma Mengming vaguely understood Chen Ying's intention, as if he used a knife in one hand and candied dates in the other.

In fact, Ma Mengming did not know how much Chen Ying complained about the mandatory learning of English for later generations.

If you are a dignified Chinese, why do you need to learn a foreign language?
Now that Chen Ying has this opportunity, he decided to let tens of millions of people in tens of millions of lands from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean learn Tang Dialect by biting the cork.

Ha ha.Haha, although it was very painful to learn, and I wanted to saw my own neck in pain, I still had to learn that scene with my head hanging from the beam, it must be spectacular!Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt very happy!

Of course, Chen Ying also took advantage of the method of learning Tang Yan to reduce taxes.

A quarter tax is high, but they are used to it.In this way, Chen Ying can first gain the goodwill of the Han people in the Western Regions or the descendants of the Han people in the Western Regions and their mixed races. After all, they can speak Tang dialect.

Gaoche City, at this time, was the first to implement Chen Ying's action of learning Tang dialect.

"eat……"

"shit……"

"You're so fucking stupid!" A soldier of the Modao Army pointed at the ass of a soldier from the Ninth Ministry of Zhaowu and shouted, "What you pull out is shit!"

"Pull it out... eat!"

The soldiers of the Modao Army on the side couldn't stand up laughing.

"I can't tell shit from eating, you fucking idiots!"

"eat……"

"shit!"

A hooked gun cavalry pointed to the hooked gun in his hand and said, "Hooked gun!"

A servant soldier of Zhaowu Ninth Division stared wide-eyed: "Dog wall!"

"Dog wall!" The hooked and sickle cavalry was about to go berserk: "I'll fuck your mother!"

"left!"

The most distressing thing is Cao Dan from the Cao Department. He can speak Tang Yan, although his accent is a bit strange, but his son Cao Yaqian just can't learn it.

Cao Dan pointed at a big watermelon and shouted, "Big watermelon!"

Cao Yaqian said: "Big chicken, handle it!"

"big watermelon!"

"Big...big chicken, grab it!"

Cao Dan couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped him.

Throughout the winter, learning Tang Yan was still in full swing.

However, Chen Ying liked this feeling very much.

There were furious roars everywhere, and crackling and whipping sounds everywhere. Seeing this scene, Chen Ying felt very relieved.

At this moment, Luo Shixin threw the iron gun at the door dejectedly, sat down heavily on the bed, and said angrily to Chen Ying: "General Guard, please spare me, these people are too stupid, there is no Dharma teaching!"

"Be patient!" Chen Ying looked at Luo Shixin and said with a smile: "If there is one-on-one teaching, you can quickly master a language, especially in an environment that requires frequent speaking and listening. It may take a few days. We will be able to master the daily expressions of a language. We should not only teach them Tang dialect, but also teach them to sing and write, and we should also care about their lives, be friends and brothers with them, and let them To trust us, we must first trust them. Cao Dan, later on you will choose a soldier from the Ninth Division of Zhaowu to join my personal guard."

Cao Dan left happily.

Luo Shixin and Ma Mengming exclaimed at the same time: "Da Duhu, this is not allowed. If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different! This is not allowed!"

"Yes." Chen Ying said with a disapproving smile: "The people of the Western Regions are actually a group of pure people. They worship the strong. Our capital has the power to defeat 20 Western Turks. They will willingly submit to me. Besides, A Shi Wasn't Na Simo the same at the beginning? Don't worry, you have to trust me, I am confident that I can conquer him if I don't even have the ability to conquer a soldier?"

Naturally, Chen Ying didn't need to worry, his personal guards usually formed a group of three and stood a guard.The meaning of mutual surveillance is very strong.Even if he wanted to murder Chen Ying, he didn't have that chance.

"Da Duhu is buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars!" Ma Mengming thought secretly in his heart: "This is really well-intentioned!"

Most people in the Western Regions don't have the concept of "national integrity". When the Huns were strong, they were all Huns. When the Han was strong, they called themselves Han people.When the Xianbei people were strong, they were also called Xianbei people.When the Turks were powerful, they called themselves Turks.

Now Datang has become the master of the Western Regions.These people in the Western Regions found that although learning Tang dialect is painful, once they learn Tang dialect, they can pay half of the tax. In the past, four sheep had to pay the tax of one sheep. This kind of thing is actually more convincing than a sword.

Later, people in the Western Regions slowly discovered that the Han people began to hang peach charms in front of the door. The peach charms are the predecessor of the Spring Festival couplets. The door god's name "Shentu Yulei" hangs all year round.

People in the Western Regions only found out after asking, that the government will come to distribute a bucket of noodles to people with peach charms.

As a result, almost all urban families in the Western Regions hung peach charms.

In the time and space before Chen Ying traveled, because the state gave preferential treatment to the minority people in various aspects, many people changed their ethnicity and changed their ancestors one after another when they saw it was profitable. At first, it was just for the immediate benefit, and they did not have the consciousness of being a minority in their hearts. , but after two or three generations, the long holidays come true, and national concepts are formed naturally.

Contrary to the ridiculous "turning Han into Hu" in later generations, at this time, the people in the Western Regions, especially the people in the west, took the initiative to "turn Hu into Han" in order to reduce taxes.

Of course, this kind of transformation of Hu into Han was fake at the beginning, but because most of the people themselves have yellow skin and black hair, and many of them are of mixed Hu and Han, and it is not uncommon for them to speak Chinese, so It is extremely easy to "pretend" to be Tang Min, that is, to hang peach charms at the door and change the style of clothes.

In just one winter, Chen applied taxes to attract people, and the entire Western Regions, including the Ili Valley area west of Gaochang, became a place where everyone learned Tang dialect, wore Han costumes, practiced Han rituals, and competed to be like Tang people.

Because Tang people can pay less tax!
Of course, although Chen Ying asked these people from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions to pay less tax, he didn't care at all.Because, with a [-] army in hand, if there is still a shortage of money, it is simply a joke.

In fact, there are also many tribes who are obsessed with their obsession, so they have become history.

In April of the fourth year of Wude, the spring grass began to grow wildly.

At this time, the Great Tang Army, who had been fighting for a winter, finally left Gaoche and headed west.

The [-]-strong army marched slowly, and the soldiers of all ethnic groups sang loudly: "I have no clothes, and I share the same robes with my son. The king Yu Xingshi, repair my spear. I have the same hatred with my son..."

Although the voice was a bit weird, Chen Ying was very satisfied.It is very rare to be able to reach such a level in half a year.Ma Mengming admired Chen Ying so much at this moment, he never thought that Chen Ying would use such a method to assimilate the Western Regions without bloodshed.

Now it is Gaochang City, but it has been renamed Tingzhou City now.

In the area east of Tingzhou City, everyone wears Hanfu and speaks Tang dialect. If you don't consider the weird accent, this place is no different from the Central Plains.
