Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 228 222. Differentiation
"Humph, it's too late to say anything now. General, this man is a remnant of the Weng family, and he often assists the Weng family in inciting the Zhan people to cause chaos."

Weng Wenlou snorted coldly. At this moment, he truly experienced the taste of power. Cha Tuo, who had beaten him so hard that he dared not resist, could only kneel on the ground like a broken-backed dog and beg for his forgiveness. He no longer had the arrogance of the past.

The Han army naturally didn't bother to distinguish the components of Cha Tuo. Since Weng Wenlou said so, Bao Feng nodded, and two soldiers from the Shenwu Camp stepped forward and beheaded Cha Tuo with a single knife.

"Huh...huh..."

Weng Wenlou was breathing heavily, seemingly shocked, but his eyes were shining brightly.

"General, he, he, he and this man, all of them are guilty."

Weng Wenlou no longer hesitated and directly pointed out several servants who had bullied him. No matter how they cried and begged for mercy, Weng Wenlou remained unmoved. With an eager and crazy emotion, he watched the Han army kill them all with a knife.

"Thank you, General. The Weng family is now safe. I will definitely go to see the Grand Commander tomorrow."

Weng Wenlou hurriedly bowed to Bao Feng and Bao Yi, who nodded and didn't bother to say anything more. Bao Yi then took some of the soldiers back, while Bao Feng, following Feng Xi's order, had more than a hundred soldiers guard the Weng family to avoid any accidents.

When Bao Yi returned to the governor's mansion, he naturally went to report to Feng Xi.

"Grand Commander, as you ordered, Weng... Weng Wenlou has been sent back, and many people from the Weng family have been killed. But Grand Commander... I feel that..."

Bao Yi was not a talkative person, but he was not a fool either. How could he not see Weng Wenlou's trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone? He wondered why the Grand Commander would promote such a person?

"Bao Yi, you and Governor Li have the same idea."

Feng Xi was still sitting in the meeting room, eating the kebabs that he had barely touched. Even though it was cold, it tasted much better than most of the food now.

Hearing this, Bao Yi glanced at Li Hui who was standing beside him. Li Hui was also sitting there angrily. It was obvious that he had argued with Feng Xi before Bao Yi came back.

"Since both of you are puzzled by this, let's talk about it. Lord Li, what do you think is the main reason for the rebellion in Jiaozhou?"

Feng Xi ate the skewers as if he was chatting about some trivial matters.

"Naturally, the Cham people were instigated to resist the policies of our Han people."

Li Hui didn't understand, but still answered truthfully.

"This is just an appearance. The actual reason is that the Cham people do not identify with our Han Dynasty. For example, why did no one instigate the Wuling barbarians? Because the leader Shamoke was in Jiangling waiting for orders, and the Wuling barbarians have longed for the Han Dynasty, and now some areas in Jingzhou have begun to integrate in an orderly manner.

The Cham people have a very low level of identification with the Han Chinese. They are always thinking about usurping the throne and wish they could establish their own country. How can we accept this?"

After Feng Xi's words, Li Hui became thoughtful. The Cham people have never recognized themselves as part of the Chinese civilization, and at this moment it really seems like they were forced to occupy.

"Then, Grand Commander, what does this have to do with what happened in the Weng family today?"

Bao Yi couldn't figure this out, but he knew that these grand strategies should have nothing to do with today.

"No matter which race they are, internal traitors are more hateful than external thieves. I wonder if you two can understand what I mean." Feng Xi leaned on his arm and looked at the two of them. The two of them thought about it and felt the emotions involved. They found it understandable.

"There are many conflicts between the Han people and the Zhan people in Jiaozhou because Jiaozhou is essentially a polarized relationship. Apart from the Han people, there are the Zhan people. Therefore, the Zhan people only hate the Han people. With the Han people united, even Lord Li has a hard time."

Feng Xi gestured with his left and right hands and drew two circles in the air, representing the two ethnic groups in Jiaozhou. The two nodded to show that they understood.

“So what we need to do is to artificially divide the Cham people and not let them target the Han people. Today, Weng Wenlou is the representative of a third-party force. Although he is a Cham, he will work for us Han people.

If necessary, we can also divide the fourth and fifth parties in the future. As long as we are willing, we can always divide it infinitely. "

Feng Xi shrugged. The Great Ying Empire of later generations was very skilled in this business, and now he was just taking a brief reference.

"I don't understand why there are so many levels."

Although Bao Yi understood what Feng Xi wanted to do, he still didn't quite understand the purpose of doing so.

"Master Li, although the Cham tribe has rebelled many times, there are still some people among them who yearn for life in the Central Plains, right?"

Feng Xi finished his skewers and drank some water. He did not answer directly but asked about Li Hui.

"Of course there are. Although most of the Cham people are somewhat hostile to us Han people, there are still many who yearn for the Celestial Empire and wish to become a part of it."

Li Hui nodded. Not to mention Jiaozhou, I'm afraid everyone on a street has different ideas. There are those who are hostile to the Han people, and there are naturally those who are close to the Han people. This is unavoidable regardless of race.

"Look, the fourth force has emerged."

Feng Xi smiled and then looked at Bao Yi.

"Bao Yi, have you noticed that these new classes I mentioned are drawn from the Cham people, not the Han people? Every time we draw a new class, the number of people who used to be from the Cham people decreases. These new classes don't even need to completely surrender to us. Even if they just stand by and watch, it will be beneficial to us."

Li Hui finally realized it, but Bao Yi was still a little confused.

"And it doesn't stop there. If we handle it properly in the future, the main contradiction in Jiaozhou will change from the Han people and the Zhan people to the contradictions among the Zhan people themselves, and only a few people will continue to target the Han people, so the pressure will naturally be less.

As for Governor Li, when I return to Jiangling, I will immediately have people transport some Analects, Spring and Autumn Annals, and the Three Character Classic I compiled for literacy to Jiaozhou. How to do it depends on Governor Li. "

Although movable type printing has not yet come to the fore because the research and development queue for technology is too long, woodblock printing does not require much technical content.

Although woodblock printing has many disadvantages, such as only being able to print one copy, it is no less effective than movable type printing when large quantities of the same book are needed, which is currently a top priority.

"If that's the case, the matter of Jiaozhou will be much simpler. I will do my best to deal with the matter of the Cham people. I really admire the Grand Commander's methods."

Feng Xi and Li Hui looked at each other and smiled. Only Bao Yi didn't know what they were talking about.
