Chapter 868

Cheng Chumo couldn't help but ask, "Don't we fight for the support of the powerful and powerful people in the big family and the barbarian leaders first? Why do we have to go to the barbarians at the bottom first?"

"I ask you, is there many people from the bottom or the top?"

"But the upper class holds power and controls these barbarians."

Qin Lang shook his head, "Why don't you understand? The top leaders of the upper class have indeed ruled here and controlled all aspects of it. However, because of our arrival, it has actually been touching and damaging their interests. They have always been dissatisfied with us. Even if we show favors and concessions to them, it will not change this. But on the contrary, the barbarians at the bottom have not been affected by our arrival. We have not had much conflict of interest with them. Therefore, if we help them and give them the benefits, we can fight for them to bring them to our side. So what we are going to fight for is the barbarians at the bottom, not the heads at the top. We want to let the barbarians themselves break up and win over the majority of the barbarians at the bottom to attack a few upper class. Do you understand?"

"But the bottom man is controlled by the leader?"

"So we need to find a way. Haven't you asked you to go to various places to select united soldiers and get one in ten households? These barbarians gathered together and had to serve three years of united military service. We have three years. Don't you have the ability to attract these people to us? Didn't I give you the idea of ​​giving these barbarian united soldiers to fields, and even select loyal and elite troops from them to the Tonghai Army?"

This is a disguised equal field system and the government military system, and it is also aimed at the southern barbarians. Although the court has already abolished the equal field system and the government military system is not thorough in the Central Plains now, Qin Lang believes that it is still necessary to implement this system in Yunnan and other regions.

Adapt to local conditions.

It is simply unrealistic to immigrate from the Central Plains and to mobilize troops from the Central Plains. The imperial court does not have the ability to immigrate to Yunnan, Guangxi and other places on a large scale, and it is impossible to deploy precious troops in the Nanzhong. Lingnan, such as the southern Xinjiang, which has never had much threat to the imperial court.

Therefore, the Tonghai Governor's Office can only ask for people from the barbarians, but cannot be led by those leaders. Therefore, the solution given by Qin Lang is to create another class from the barbarians, create a group of new classes, a group of pro-Tang people, and a group of new classes that are bound to the interests of the Tang Dynasty and have a new class that is divided with the leaders.

How to create it?

Qin Lang gave two plans. First, by recruiting soldiers, he recruited a group of young and lower-level barbarians from various barbarians, and organized them into the Baojia joint defense brigade, the township inspection inspection brigade, the county government brigade, and the prefectural and county united camp.

First, receive unified training, and then divert it step by step. Those with the highest loyalty will be selected to be included in the Unity Camp.

In the Unity Camp, after training and observation, he was selected to be transferred to the Navy with high loyalty and good performance, and even granted the status of the Mansion Army.

Different welfare benefits are given according to the different identities of joint defense team members, patrol team members, civilian soldiers, united local soldiers, navy soldiers, and government soldiers.

For example, if you can be selected as a joint defense team, you will be given a lot of acres of land, and then you will be given at other levels step by step.

If you can become a soldier in the palace, you will be given a hundred acres of land directly and will be exempted from class service.

It is necessary to use these to create a pro-Tang Xinman from the barbarians who are bound to the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding those leaders, Qin Lang tried his best to win over the opinions of those leaders, and for those who refused to cooperate and refused to submit, they would come one by one.

Even those who can obey should have good relationships even if they are superficially surrendered. They can give them some titles, give them some rewards, and then recruit their children to serve in the army, or study in the newly established official schools in prefectures and counties to teach Chinese culture. At the same time, they can also be regarded as holding hostages and subtle cultural invasions.

You can also pull them to do business, start mining and build workshops, and have their interests connected.

Those diehards should first look for soft people. If they don’t take action, they must act as a deterrent effect. They must be decisive, steady, accurate, and ruthless. They should be a warning to one person and a warning to a hundred people. They should never show mercy.

They must be uprooted, and then all the heads and the upper classes will be killed and removed, all their families will be sent to Jiaozhou for sale as slaves, and the rest of the barbarians will be dispersed to other places for resettlement. The original villages and fields will be all unpaid, and then they will be used as public land or given to the brave people in the township and other pro-Tang people.

"According to the several important transportation lines we have set up, we will first straighten out the barbarians on these lines, and then gradually spread to the mountains. We must have clear goals and clear orders."

Cheng Chumo scratched his head, "Sanlang said so well, he pointed out a clear and clear path for me. If you say this, I will do as I do in the future. It will save you the same as a headless fly. I don't know where to hit me."

"For those stubborn people, kill them when they should be, and be cruel. But in normal times, you must show kindness and justice when dealing with other tribes, especially the soldiers under your command, you must manage them well. Nothing like bullying the barbarians or the like. I can give you more military expenditures and improve your treatment for your brothers, but the military discipline must be maintained. If their swords move, you cannot show mercy. Otherwise, once the military discipline is corrupt, the people's hearts will be distracted. Which barbarian can really believe us?"

In the following days, Qin Lang continued to stay in Qilu Lake. He had to build a formation for the newly established Tonghai Governor's Office and also stared at Cheng Chumoduo. Old Cheng always felt that he was a little weak, afraid that the barbarians would not accept it, and worried that the Cuan family on the Dianchi Lake would be ill-behaved.

Originally, Qin Lang planned to return to Wu'anzhou to celebrate the New Year, but this plan was difficult to achieve.

Nong had long been looking forward to him going back to celebrate the New Year because she was pregnant. Nong followed Qin Lang to Chang'an and went south. The two of them had been together for a rare year. Nong was finally pregnant, and now his belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he was more and more hoping that Qin Lang could go back and get along with him, preferably with the child until he was born.

Qin Lang had no choice but to send a letter to Anon, telling him that he could not go back to celebrate the New Year for the time being.

Fortunately, everything in the fiefdom is still good now. This year's barbarian invasion did not affect much of Wu'an Prefecture, and no barbarian soldier had invaded. Although all the soldiers from the vassal towns in the state started, even the Zhongnan men were summoned, but not many casualties were killed or killed. Instead, they made a lot of contributions and robbed a lot of spoils.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the barbarian chaos is lifted. Vastaries, rural soldiers and strong men have also returned home one after another. The rewards are still being settled, but many people still received a lot of spoils back home.

Cattle, horse, money, food, and even barbarian slaves.

After the Jucheng Man Rebellion, Jiaozhou Port and Taiping Port became more and more prosperous. The war caused merchants to smell the fishy smell. A great victory in Pingman means that more than 100,000 prisoners of war and countless spoils were produced, which were good things that were enough to make merchants crazy.

The people of Wu'anzhou can have a stable and prosperous year this year. There are also some sadness in the laughter and joy. After all, some people died in battle and some were injured and disabled.

Some families are happy and some are sad, and the eighth year of Zhenguan is coming.

Qin Lang, thousands of miles away, still sits on the shore of Qilu Lake every day, watching the sea and feeding birds and basking in the sun.

It should be very cold in the winter in Chang'an at this time. Yu Xiao wrote to him saying that his son had grown taller again, and that it was snowing heavily after the winter in Chang'an, and it was very cold.

The family has more children and becomes more lively, but Qin Lang is not in Beijing. Everyone always feels that this family is missing something and is looking forward to him going back.

In October this year, Qin Qiong set out from Songzhou and entered Beijing to celebrate the throne.

This was sent by the emperor to welcome him to the capital. Qin Qiong had not returned to the capital for several years since he was a vassal of Songzhou. Li Shimin thought of this old friend.

It was already the twelfth lunar month when Qin Qiong returned to Chang'an, and both the Qin Mansions of Pingkangfang and Qinrenfang were very lively.

When Qin Taiwei entered the capital, there were endless visitors every day, and there were traffic in front of the door. However, as soon as he entered the capital, he was summoned to the palace by the emperor, and even left him to sleep with the same bed in the Ganlu Hall.

"Sanlang, Cuan Hongda said that his old illness relapsed and he came to see him before. He specially sent his son, King Cuan Gui, to see him." Zhang Chao came to report.

Qin Lang smiled.

"Cuan Hongda is still afraid that I won't be able to eat him. Is he so timid?"

"This King Cuan Gui is his eldest son, and he is quite sincere." Zhang Chao said.

"He is really sincere. He should have come to see me in person, and he will not be delayed until now. He has sent people to summon me several times." Qin Lang waved his hand, "Where has King Cuan Gui been?"

"It has arrived in Yuxi Prefecture!"

"How many people have you brought?"

"More than a thousand men and horses transported a lot of food, grass, money and silk, saying that they were coming to the army to express their condolences."

"Hahaha!"

Qin Lang laughed, "I sent someone to take over his money and grain. As for his more than a thousand men, I can stay outside Tonghai. It would be fine if King Cuan Gui brought a team of entourages. I don't have that much food to entertain in Tonghai."

"Is it that Sanlang still afraid that they will come to attack?"

"We just don't want to waste food. There are more than a thousand people, and we eat horses every day. We still have to go to the countryside to collect food and grass. In addition, we have to transport it from Jiaozhou thousands of miles away. It takes more than a month to walk on the water. How can we entertain them with this food?"

Zhang Chao took out a piece of paper, "This is some information about King Cuan Gui that we have. He is the eldest son of Cuan Hongda. His mother is a member of the Wumeng tribe of the 37th Wuman tribe. His tribe lives in the Qiqushui area (Zhaotong), a tributary of the Lushui (Jinsha River), and has great influence. At that time, Cuan Hongda's father, Cuan Wan, was defeated three times by the Sui army. Because of his rebellion against Wuchang, he was captured and executed in Chang'an for the last time in the 18th year of Kaihuang. Cuan Hongda and his wife and brothers were also captured and were not an official slave. When King Cuan Gui was born, it happened to be the day when the Cuan family was defeated. He was also taken to Chang'an and became an official slave for eighteen years. Later, he was restored by the Emperor in the first year of Wude, and he followed his father to support his ancestor's coffin to return home......"

Although King Cuan Gui was born on the shore of Dianchi Lake, he grew up in Chang'an. After being a slave for eighteen years, he followed his father back to Yunnan. Then, he had been almost eighteen years in a blink of an eye.

After returning to Yunnan in Chang'an, King Cuan Gui married a woman from his mother's Wumeng tribe and a cousin from his uncle's family.

"This time, more than a thousand people who came with King Cuan Gui were the Wumeng cavalry led by his wife Acha, who was very elite. His wife Acha was also very good at conquering a warlike woman. After the Cuan family split the eastern and western divisions, Dongcuan had been trying to control the Wumeng tribe. However, the Wumeng tribe returned from Cuan Hongda as the governor of Kunzhou. After the heavy command of Xichuan, he immediately stopped obeying the orders of Dongcuan. The Cuan Ganfu from Dongcuan sent troops several times, but was defeated by the Wumeng tribe. The ones who led the troops were Acha and his daughter. Later, after Acha married Cuan Hongda, he stood firmly on the side of Xichuan and followed the orders of Kunzhou."

"The mountain cavalry of the Wumeng tribe is very powerful, and Acha is even more capable of riding and shooting. He is a female cavalry general."
