Chapter 197 Jingzhou Barbarians

The word "bianmin" actually refers to a specific term in Jingnan.

In the northern border counties of the Han Dynasty, Han people and Hu people had always lived together.

There are Xiongnu in Bingzhou, Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou, and Han and Qiang people live in the northern part of Liangzhou and Yizhou.

As for southern Jingzhou and southern Yizhou, there are many non-Han barbarians living together with Han people.

The four southern counties of Jingzhou are populated by Jingmans, all of whom are uncivilized indigenous people.

Even though they have been affiliated to the Eastern Han government for more than a hundred years, the Jingman people have always been incompatible with the Han people in some traditions.

For example, the Jingman people are all fond of the five colors, decorated with colorful cloth, and like clothes made of mulberry leather. Their narrow-sleeved shorts and knee-covering shorts are all sewn with fine Han Chinese fabrics and dyed with

The grass is strong and makes clothes colorful.

Just the way they dress is completely different from the Han people, let alone other habits and folk customs.

It is precisely because of this that even people who have never been to Jingnan can recognize Jingman at a glance when walking on the street.

You can't recognize them even if you don't want to, because their dress is the Eastern Han Dynasty version of non-mainstream.

When Liu Pan first came to Changsha, Liu Qi left the words "Wuxi Man" to Liu Biao in his study, asking him to follow the methods of Liu Yan and Liu Yu and teach Liu Pan how to recruit Jing Manqing in Jingnan.

Strength is a helping hand.

In fact, when Liu Qi wrote the three characters Wuxi Man, he did not understand the Jing Man. In the four counties of Jingzhou, the Wuxi Man was just one of many Jing Man.

The "bianmin" mentioned by Zou Ke is the collective name given by the Han people to those who rebelled against the Jingman people.

Liu Pan came to Changsha for half a year and got to know Jingman more or less.

He told Liu Qi that there were too many Jingbarbarians in the four counties of Jingzhou, and most of them were not included in the county household registration. Especially in Wuling County, the number of barbarians actually far exceeded that of Han people.

The registered population of Wuling County is only 250,000, but in fact, the Han population of more than 200,000 is only distributed in Suoxian, Linyuan, and Xiaoling counties. Most of the people living in the remaining ten counties are

Jing Man without household registration.

Hundreds of thousands of gangsters!

When Liu Pan first came to Changsha, Liu Qi wanted him to organize troops from the Jingman people, just like Liu Yan organized the Qingqiang army as a team in Yizhou... But through Liu Pan's narration, Liu Qi realized that this did not seem to be the case.

so easy.

Since the resurgence of Guangwu, Jingman has been in constant friction with the local government in the four southern counties, and rebels have continued to emerge. They have continued to attack and harass the counties in the four southern counties of Jingnan. The local county governments use a large amount of manpower and financial resources every year to attack and harass the counties.

The suppression by the rebels greatly consumed the actual power of the county and caused a huge financial void.

There were as many as eleven large-scale rebellions by Jingman recorded in "Book of the Later Han: Biography of Nanman" alone.

In fact, it can be said that there is a small rebellion in March and a major rebellion in two years.

After Liu Pan arrived in Jingnan, not to mention forming a good alliance with the local Jingman and recruiting strong troops, just suppressing the rebellion consumed almost all of his energy.

After Liu Qi listened, he remained silent.

Liu Pan sighed and said: "There have always been constant disputes between the Han people and the Jingmans in the areas south of Jingnan. Moreover, the people of Jingman are fierce and fierce. There are many barbarians and few scholars. It's like we in Changsha are 'half-barbarians', let alone those in Wuling."

As I said, the Wuxi barbarians have rebelled repeatedly, and the rebellion has been suppressed, and the rebellion has been defeated again and again. It is extremely annoying. How can I recruit them as soldiers?"

Liu Qi was silent for a while and then said: "Brother, please send someone to send the notes about the Jingman rebellion in recent years, as well as the various decrees issued by Changsha County against the Jingman to the Changsha Academy. I will inspect it tonight."

After finishing the study, I will review it carefully there."

Seeing that Liu Qi still didn't give up, Liu Pan sighed and agreed.



That night, Liu Qi was in a semi-renovated room in the academy construction site, looking through the records of Changsha County's political strategy and rebellion against Jingman in recent years...

Since the farming and the academy in Changsha County were carried out at the same time, Liu Qi spent several days in the day outside Changsha City measuring the wasteland to be allocated, and at night he went to the academy under construction to check the progress of the academy's construction that day.

,

Liu Qi would formulate his opinions into a written document and leave it in this half-renovated study. Zhang Yun, who was responsible for supervising the construction of the academy, would come to the study the next morning to pick it up and follow his orders.

Tonight, after checking the construction status of the academy, Liu Qi did not go back home, but started reading information about the barbarians in the study.

There are many people in the house and it is noisy. Du Yan is somewhat sensible, but Cai Mi always likes to tease this little brother. He always teases him from time to time, which easily distracts Liu Qi's mind.

Today's matter was very important and there was no room for delay, so Liu Qi went over matters concerning the barbarians in the academy, which had not yet been repaired, and did not go home.

At this glance, it seemed that it had not been a long time, and in the blink of an eye it was already dark.

Liu Qi looked through the slips, still concentrating, but he didn't feel the door of the room being pushed open gently...

"who?"

Liu Qi was startled when he heard the sound and hurriedly turned his head to look outside the door.

In the dark, unfinished construction site, the door was suddenly pushed open, which was really scary!

Especially since he had already told Dian Wei not to let anyone else enter this room.

In the darkness, the person holding an oil lamp was looking into the room doubtfully.

"Mr. Liu Fu...are you here?"

Liu Qi breathed a long sigh of relief: "Master Cai?"

The person who came was none other than Cai Yan, who was holding a lamp.

Really, what is this woman doing here in the middle of the night? Fortunately, she was wearing a dark green dress. If she were wearing red, Liu Qi would have to chop her with a sword if he didn't protect her.

Cai Yan saluted Liu Qi Yingying at the door and said, "I didn't know that the emperor was here, so Cai Yan entered without permission and disturbed the emperor. Please forgive me."

"Well... it doesn't matter. It's so late, and Cai people are still coming to the academy? Why?"

Cai Yan saw that the lamp on Liu Qi's desk seemed to be dimmed, so he took his own lamp to Liu Qi's desk and placed the lamp on his desk.

In an instant, the light on Liu Qi's desk was much brighter than before.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Thank you all Cai." Liu Qi said gratefully.

Cai Yan smiled and said: "It's just a small thing, why do you need to say thank you? In fact, Yan will come to the academy to inspect the academy every night, firstly to see the progress of the academy's repairs, and secondly because he wants to get more familiar with it. After all..."

Speaking of this, Cai Yan paused and said with some emotion: "After all, from now on, this will be the place where Yan will live forever."

Liu Qi said: "Do you regret it, Cai?"

Cai Yan smiled calmly, shook his head and said, "If you can do great things to promote learning, Yan will have no regrets in this life."

When she spoke, she was very determined, and the firelight reflected on her face, making her look really beautiful.

"What are you doing here today, Mr. Fu?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, just a brief study of Jingman affairs."

Cai Yan nodded suddenly and cast his gaze on the slips on Liu Qi's desk.

Liu Qi studied the Jingman rebellion tonight and gained some insights. There was no one to talk to at the moment, so he immediately started chatting with Cai Yan.



Not far outside the room, Dian Wei stared at the door of the room with a serious expression on his rough face.

"Is there anything going on?" Dian Wei murmured.

Zhang Yun laughed loudly beside him and said, "What could have happened? If I hadn't happened to come to Boyu tonight for something and stopped you, a fool like you, Boyu's good deeds would have been disturbed by you, a fool!"

"

Dian Wei said dissatisfiedly: "The Lord of the House has ordered Yu in advance not to let anyone enter the room to disturb me, but you have to pull me to a corner and not let me stop the Cai family woman. If the Lord reprimands Yu later,

I have to surrender you!"

Zhang Yun waved his hands impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, it's up to you. I can give you whatever you want, but I can tell you now. Not only will you not be reprimanded later, but you may also be scolded by the prince."

Praise, Mr. Dian, do you believe it or not?"

Dian Wei glared at Zhang Yun dissatisfied and said, "Why do I feel that in Zhang Jun's mouth, Fu Jun is like a lecher?"

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "What's so lustful about? It's just human nature."

Dian Wei turned his head and said disdainfully: "Nonsense! The Lord is not that kind of person!"

Zhang Yun sighed secretly, thinking that you really made a mistake.

He is that kind of person.



In the room, Liu Qi smoothed out his thoughts for the whole night and gave Cai Yan a rough overview.

Although what Liu Qi said was not of concern to Cai Yan, she still did not say a word. She just sat across from Liu Qi and listened carefully to his thoughts.

After a while, after Liu Qi finished speaking, Cai Yan finally understood something and said: "Listen to the meaning of the Lord's words, since the two major rebellions of Jingman were suppressed in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty and the first year of Yonghe, the land of the four counties

Small groups of rebels have continued to rebel. Can the reason be explained by the imbalance of corvee labor and the increase in rents and taxes by the county and county governments? "

Liu Qi nodded and said: "I have roughly summarized the records of the Jingman rebellion in Changsha over the past few decades. In the past few decades, the local governors have followed the orders and led the barbarians to subdue them. They have increased their rent compared to the Han people."

On the grounds of taxation, I have always wanted to create a register for the barbarians in the four counties, compile household registrations together, change their coats and assimilate them, and put them under the same management as the Han people... However, the barbarians in Jingzhou have always been resistant to this."

After a pause, Liu Qi said helplessly: "It is the common practice of the country to organize the barbarians into households so that they can become kings of the Han Dynasty and be subject to the control of the imperial court like the Han people. However, the local Jing barbarians are unwilling and stubbornly resist. It's really

It’s an unsolvable problem and it’s a headache.”

Cai Yan listened carefully to the last word Liu Qi said, and when he saw that he stopped talking, he expressed his own opinion.

"Master Fu, Yan is a female and has no knowledge of politics. However, I heard what Master Fu said just now. The Han Dynasty has been wanting the barbarians in Jingnan to register their household registration, change their coats and assimilate them for decades. If this is really a good thing, then why does Jingnan

The barbarian society has been resisting repeatedly, and the rebellion has continued for decades... Have you ever thought about the benefits of this to the Jingman people? Is assimilating the Jingman people better for the Jingman tribes, or for me, the big man?

Good morning, I apologize for the inconvenience."
