Chapter 3538 The Desert and Force
There is a best time for everything.
It can be called natural, or it can be called natural.
If it is advanced or delayed, the effect will be worse.
Before, the great man also had education, but it was not the true "education", but the cramming, or self-motivation, to fulfill the political achievements. The most core goal of officials is not to really do something, but to prepare capital for the next promotion.
That''s right, capital.
So will this behavior in order to gain benefits really bring the true feelings of the Hu people?
Obviously impossible.
Among the Han Dynasty, there were also officials without kindness.
For example, Liu Yu.
However, Liu Yu has virtue but not power. After his death, the people in the tribe will be sad and miss it, but when it is time, there is no money or anything, they will still go to the Han area to rob.
Gongsun Zan is powerful but not virtuous. He treats Hu people like dogs, staying obediently and killing disobediently. The Hu people were also afraid of him, but similarly, after Gongsun Zan''s death, or where he could not control, the Hu people would still go south to rob.
It is similar to the later generations of Midi Zero Yuan purchase.
What Fei Qian is doing now is to use both kindness and power under the conditions, and is worried that the bonding of kindness and power is not high, so he specially added a shackle.
Blood oath.
Or it can be called the Blood Alliance.
The north gate of Tongguan is opened with the low horn sound.
Immediately, the roaring drum sounded.
The strong men in the army lined up out of the door hole, carried a copper tripod filled with water from the Three Rivers into the morning light, and the armor on their bodies seemed to emit a sacred glow.
When the first ray of sunlight pierces the clouds and shines on the altar paving the five-colored earth.
Seeing the scene in front of you, no matter the Hu people or Han people watching the ceremony around you, they couldn''t help but curl up their laughter and became serious.
Etiquette is originally the strength of China.
The foundation of etiquette is the right to formulate rules.
If there are more and more things in the whole world that follow the Chinese etiquette norms, it will naturally be successful in education.
This rule-making power of Chinese education to the Hu people is essentially a lifeline battle for the existence of civilization.
Just like later generations, Midi also tried to use "freedom and equality" to educate other countries, but it is obvious that Midi''s own "freedom and equality" is just because of the big bear. They essentially don''t have this thing at all, so It is impossible to successfully build a gorgeous palace without any foundation.
But China has it.
The light of Chinese civilization has come from ancient times and is inherited from generation to generation.
When Fei Qian, the north gate of Tongguan, built a solemn etiquette space with the five-color earth altar, the Sanchuan copper tripod, and the blood oath ceremony, he was completing a strategic layout that was deeper than military conquest.
Fei Qian wanted to take this opportunity to incorporate the Hu tribe into the gravitational orbit of the rules of Chinese civilization.
If it were earlier, the Hu people would definitely only bring destruction and hatred to Shandong.
Earlier, Feiqian was not strong enough.
This kind of power is not a temporary shock, but a constant pressure.
Now, Fei Qian needs to deepen the imprint of these pressures so that the Chinese civilization, which was originally in the higher dimensional dimension, can play a greater and more role.
Rules are time-efficient and must resonate with the overall rhythm of civilization.
Liu Yu''s failure in education of "virtue but not power" exposed the fragility of pure moral inspiration. The plundering instinct of grassland tribes when they are not connected is essentially an inevitable product of the survival rhythm of nomadic civilization. A simple principle cannot change the ecological environment of grassland tribes, so there is no question of success in education.
On the other hand, Gongsun Zan''s "powerful but not virtuous" force deterrence is in a dilemma of confronting natural rhythms. Just like trying to block seasonal river diversion with a levee. The damage caused by blindly increasing the embankment and eventually forming the above-ground rivers will often be quite astonishing once they collapse.
Fei Qian chose to perform such a ceremony at this point in time. On the one hand, it has given the tribes in the grassland and desert a new way out and a new living environment, which has changed the old framework of simple "Weide" and achieved a higher level. The power of education; on the other hand, it also uses such rituals to frame the boundaries of their behavior with rules, so that the cost of the "zero yuan purchase" of the Hu people is greater than their benefits, and it will also make these Hu people measure how much before doing evil One or two.
In fact, whether there is really water from the "Three Rivers" in the bronze tripod, and whether there is really "Five Directions" on the altar, these are not important issues, nor are they the focus of attention, but Fei Qian borrows this way. A ceremony will be imprinted in the hearts of these Hu people who watched the ceremony from the rules of order established by the "Yu Gong".
When these representatives of the Hu people, the leaders of all sizes, drank the covenant and oath wine mixed with the blood of three animals, it was equivalent to their recognition of this set of Chinese etiquette and the rules of the Han Dynasty.
More importantly, this half-human form of vows creates a two-way channel for civilized domestication. The Hu people accepted strange rules through familiar forms, while the Han people completed the secret transfer of dominance in compromise.
This kind of battle for rule-making power is still clearly visible in the conflict of civilizations in later generations.
True civilization education does not lie in formal transplantation, but in building a rule ecosystem that can be compatible with heterogeneous cultural rhythms, transform the energy of original beliefs, and create common survival benefits.
Just as the bronze tripod will be transformed from a sacrificial ritual vessel to a carrier of alliance books, rule makers always hold the final key to the interpretation.
This **** oath ceremony is essentially a civilization-defined war without gunpowder.
Whoever grasps the right to interpret and revise the rules will hold the steering wheel of the integration of civilizations.
China has the final say where to go.
When Fei Qian climbed to the altar wearing a black armor and wearing a big red cloak, the sound of war drums and trumpets suddenly thundered, and the sound waves shocked the gravel and yellow dust on the earthen plateau.
Jiang Jie suddenly discovered that those Hu people who seemed to be unruly in their daily lives had lowered their heads, crossed their hands on their chests, and bent down their waists...
It was like during the white horse sacrifice that year, the Hu people were facing the old chief and the high priest.
A little vibration suddenly came from the ground.
Jiang Jie saw eight white horses pulling out a car at the gate of Tongguan.
There is an iron cage on the car, and there is a white wolf inside!
Suddenly, among the Qiang people, there were sounds of air thrusts one after another, and several older Qiang soldiers had already knelt on the ground.
In the legend of the Qiang people, the White Wolf was the messenger of the gods, but now he is locked in the iron cage of the Han people.
『Slay the wolf! Sacrifice to the sky! 』
With the hoarse and desolate shouting, the blood splashed from the white wolf''s neck meandered into a river on the five-colored soil.
More Qiang people fell to the ground.
Jiang Jie looked around, maybe it was just a psychological feeling, or maybe it was really effective in the sacrificial festival. He suddenly felt that these Qiang people seemed to be a little more docile.
Fei Qian then reiterated three new regulations.
First, the subordinate attributes of the Qiang tribe were re-anchored.
The Qiang people are no longer scattered individuals, but are determined to belong to a certain tribe, and the registration of military cards shall prevail. Once a violation of military discipline and military rules occurs, not only will the individual be punished, but the tribe must also be notified. Some are similar to the Han people''s system of joint seats, but most of the punishment for joint seats is at the spiritual level.
Second, strengthen the bond between the Qiang people and their families.
In addition to being able to receive the treatment of soldiers equivalent to those of Han soldiers, all Qiang people who participated in the Han army can purchase daily necessities at the Han official market with Han talismans after registration. Of course, there are certain limits. As a Hu people, they cannot obtain compensation for farming rewards for farming acres like Han soldiers. If the Hu people are willing to exchange this offer for military field rewards like the Han people, it would be fine.
Third, recompile and explain the totems and gods of the Qiang people.
The original beliefs of the Qiang people were all included in the five-way God Sect. The relationship was re-organized by storytellers and Taoists from the five-way Taoists from a while ago. Through the explanation of their tribal totems, the five-way Gods would also give tribal shamans, or It is the priest who is certified. In this process, while retaining the shell of the Qiang people''s faith, the core of Chinese civilization was replaced to achieve a peaceful transfer of the right to interpret the gods.
Military system reform transforms tribal armed forces into professional troops that require supplies from Han areas. Economic policies adjust the survival rhythm to the Chinese farming cycle, and faith reshaping completes the intergenerational replacement of the gods'' discourse system.
Although there was no specific effect in a short period of time, after the matters were implemented over time, when the Hu boy recited the "Book of Rites and Monthly Orders" in the Imperial Academy to calculate that the grass was green, Dangsa When the gods were dancing, I had to mix the tribute of "The Emperor recommended Ju Yi to the Last Emperor", the grassland and desert had gradually transformed into the new frontier of Chinese civilization under the silent erosion of the Han rules!
…
…
The chaos in northern Jingzhou fell into the eyes of the children of the geniuses in Xiangyang City without any concealment.
Although Liu Biao is a man who is greedy for reputation and is in vain in political affairs, and he speaks very much, and it is good to lose three points, but after all, Jingzhou was a well-known prince during his time in Liu Biao. It is also evident that Yuan Shu would rather provoke Xuzhou than attack Jingzhou. However, this may also be related to Sun Jian''s failure to attack Jingzhou at that time...
But Jingzhou is so miserable now.
The last time in Jingzhou, Xiangyang was relatively stable, and it had a bit of a smell of watching the fire from the other side of the river. And it didn''t last much time, so it calmed down relatively.
Jiangling is in trouble, it’s just Jiangling. There are still drunken and dreamy songs in Xiangyang City.
But this time, the smoke of war, the **** smell, and the chaotic pain really permeated Xiangyang City.
To the west, Li Dian''s army captured Shangyong and conquered Yun Pass again.
To the north, Liao Hua''s army occupied Danshui and was preparing to attack Shunyang.
To the south, the Sichuan and Shu naval army approached Jiangling, while almost all the Jingzhou naval army was in the north of Jingzhou, and the south was like a blank...
The Hussars rolled in, destroying all the way. The Cao army along the way was either quickly defeated or had time to set out on the front line, the front line was lost.
The land of Jingzhou once again entered a critical situation.
This battle was obviously not what the people of Jingzhou wanted, but they could not refuse.
Everything came too fast.
Even for Cai Mao, the same is true.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Cai Mao rolled his eyes and looked at the Cao army flag above his head. After a long time, he lowered his eyes expressionlessly.
Is it right or wrong for Jingzhou to bet on Cao Cao back then?
This matter is really not that easy to say.
If he was given another chance, what would he choose at that time?
Cai Mao thought about it for a long time and felt that he was not wrong at that time. After all, Fei Qian''s momentum was not that strong back then, and Cao Cao''s side held the emperor hostage and defeated the two Yuans. He wanted great righteousness, soldiers and horses, and territory, so unless he had a brain. The problem, otherwise it would be most likely that Cao Cao would be chosen.
But now it seems that the person who chose Cao Cao was just a brain problem...
Cai Mao knocked on his helmet and made an empty sound.
So what about now?
Cao Ren sent himself to Fangling to take over the defense here. Cai Mao didn''t want to come, but he couldn''t refuse, so he could only take the soldiers to Fangling.
The Di generals in Fangling were very enthusiastic. When they saw Cai Mao, they invited Cai Mao into the city and expressed their intention to free up their house and yard for Cai Mao to live there.
Cai Mao was also an old fry. When he saw the situation in Fangling City, he looked at the camp left by Cao Zhen. He almost instantly understood what was going on. He refused to enter the city and just settled in the mountain camp on the flank of Fangling.
However, this incident also made Cai Mao play a small blow in his heart.
Cao Zhen stationed his barracks outside the city, which was definitely not for the beautiful scenery and the beautiful mountains and rivers!
Then Cao Zhen, or Cao''s attitude towards Fang Ling can be seen.
At this point, is Cai Mao really a "heavy burden", or is this guy Cao Ren having other plans?
Cai Mao thought, and he didn''t dare to contact the scouts of the Cavalry Army.
Although he also wanted to shake a white flag or something, he said that he was a great good citizen...
But with so many Cao army soldiers around, who knows which one is the eyeliner left by Cao Ren and Cao Zhen?
As the days passed, Cai Mao saw that Li Dianjun didn''t seem to really want to beat Fang Ling, so he was both at ease and worried.
But soon, Cai Mao received a message...
People from the Cai family came hurried from Jingzhou, bringing bad news to Cai Mao, and Cai He was captured and imprisoned!
Logically speaking, there is no big problem.
Is it true that the crime of losing the army should be punished?
But among the Han Dynasty, especially in Shandong, everyone knew that this crime, or that the law was against the lower and the higher. Cai He did fail, failed to defend the pass, and lost his troops and generals. These are all facts. Cai He would not argue, accept it humbly and apologize sincerely.
Who doesn’t have the time to do bad things with good intentions?
After all, the original intention is good!
I apologized, but it would be meaningless if I refused to give up...
In most cases, it''s over here. If the public grievances are big, then it''s just a dismissal from office and retirement, and then re-take the position after the sensation is over...
This is all convention.
Just like Niu Jin who returned all the way, he still held a position in Shunyang, and he didn''t say how to punish him, right?
『Head of the family! Make an idea! ''The Cai clan members said gritting their teeth, ''This is to force us to death! How could there be such unreasonable? The victory or defeat of a military strategist cannot be said to be accurate! Then Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao are also defeated...』
"Wait, what did you say just now?" ''Cai Mao suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped the Cai clan''s muttering.
『The military strategist wins and loses? ''The Cai clan said.
『Go ahead a little…』 Cai Mao frowned.
"Uh...unreasonable...uh, push to death..."
Cai Mao clapped his hands, "That''s it! 』
Cai Mao frowned and wandered around the tent twice, "Why do you think? 』
『What''s the reason? ''The Cai clan members asked in confusion.
"Why should we force our Cai family to death? ''Cai Mao asked.
『This…』 The Cai clan members widened their eyes, 『Head of the family, you... are you okay? 』
It’s time to find out why? Do you also need to ask why Cao Ren did not punish Niu Jin, but instead criticized Cai He? Isn’t this obvious? What else do you need to say more why? !
Cai Mao wandered around for a few times, but did not answer the questions of the clan members, but asked: "Where is Cao Zixiao?" Who is the main person in Xiangyang City? 』
The Cai clan members said what he knew.
Now Cao Ren is not in Xiangyang City. Some people say it is in the north of Jingzhou, and some people say it is in Nanxiang.
The main general in Xiangyang City is Cao Kai...
Cai Mao nodded and listened, as if he was thinking a little.
『Head of the family? ''The Cai clan members were a little anxious.
Cai He was imprisoned, and Cai Mao was in Fangling again. The Cai family seemed to have no armor and robe, standing naked in Xiangyang. It was possible that the salty wet guy came up to touch him at any time...
How dangerous!
Cai Mao stopped, turned around, looked at the Cai clan and asked, "What''s your idea at home?" 』
『Home…』 The Cai clan members were a little hesitant.
"It''s okay, say. ''Cai Mao encouraged.
"Some people in the family mean... this..." The Cai clan''s voice lowered a little, "Cao saw that it was no longer possible, and he was doing things against the ground in Jingbei Nanxiang... Now it was bullying and forcing us Cai clan again... …』
The Cai clan''s voices were getting lower and lower, but his expression became more and more fierce, "Better than..."
Because Fei Qian had been in Xiangyang, Jingzhou for a period of time before, the relationship between Cai and Fei Qian did not completely break because they belonged to each other.
On the contrary, Cai also purchased goods from Feiqian and sold them in Jingzhou, which benefited a lot.
Anyway, there are more merchants and gentry in Shandong who purchase goods from Guanzhong, so there is no problem with the Cai family doing this before...
However, it seems that there is something wrong now.
"what to do? ''The Cai clan people looked at Cai Mao with anticipation.
This matter must not be done with this!
Cai Mao nodded, "But we can''t give up like this... Come on! Prepare the horse! 』
The Cai clan members were a little excited and nervous, "Head of the family! We, we are now...
Cai Mao smiled, something seemed to be hidden in his smile, "Just apologize to General Cao! 』
"What? ! ''The Cai clan members were stunned.
