"At the beginning, the country was grand in scale, governed by civilian officials, suppressed by military officers, raised the army with various financial resources, recruited and driven by civilians, and maintained each other up and down, and had the power to know the state. Although the cave chiefs are known as the state The county, many people wear soapy white cloth robes, the class is upright, and the head of the household. The orders are popular, and the protection is hidden."

This is an excerpt from the manuscript of "The Book of Nanban" written by Fan Chuo about the governance of Tu nationality barbarians in past dynasties. It seems to be quite reasonable; it is also the structure that Zhou Huai'an wants to maintain in the land of Annan. And pattern.

Through the use of force to deter and suck the blood of the savages, to maintain the power to suppress them, and then in such a reciprocating cycle, until it gradually weakens and civilizes, it finally has to accept the subtle reality and become a natural part of the land of Han.

Speaking of it, Zhou Huai'an is actually very envious of the ability to mobilize the whole society and the organizational efficiency derived from the grassroots that can erupt from the relatively backward productivity and social development level since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

It is precisely because of this kind of classical militarist regime that the nation's organization and mobilization capabilities have allowed it to sweep Yunei Liuhe for several generations, and it is almost invincible. Although this system would easily become the soil for cultivating Chen Sheng and Wu Guangzhi and others under high pressure without adjustment and transformation in the peaceful era; however, it was extremely competitive and advantageous during the turbulent times when the dynasty was declining.

Only after the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the rise of aristocratic families, the government experienced a significant retreat in the grassroots control of the people and the compromise of local forces; although the past dynasties have undergone prosperous repetitions, from clan clans to scholar-officials, various classes changed one after another The continuous improvement of productivity and the evolution of the superstructure have become more and more sophisticated; but in the end, its history has never been able to return to its original level.

It was not until after the founding of New China, through the land reform task force, the publicization movement of the means of production, and the system construction of the grassroots party organizations that after a lapse of more than two thousand years, the tentacles and executive power of the regime were deepened to occupy the majority of the country. Among the population of rural farmers.

Zhou Huaian itself, although constrained by the historical limitations of the productive forces and social environment of this era, and lacks the corresponding transportation and communication conditions, to realize the terrible execution power of the party organization built at the grassroots level in later generations; but it is copied from the past. To reproduce some of the classical militarism elements of the Qin and Han Dynasties in the name of, and then stuff some experience and lessons learned from later generations and personal goods, but it is not too realistic at all.

At most during this period, the scholars were criticized and criticized as: "Heavy legalists, teach violence against the Qin, and do not show sympathy to the people"; but if this "people" is not the landlord and gentry who have the right to speak in society, but most precarious, The poor people who are lingering and panting get a word, and it doesn't matter what kind of "compassionate or not compassionate".

Under strict control, relying on labor to survive hard and tenaciously, or just like modern Indian peasants in a little famine, they can only "freely" choose to starve to death, hang themselves, or exchange democracy at home; I believe; Except for those Western white leftists who have been brainwashed into idiots by the spirit of anarchic liberalism and the well-known domestic leaders, no one will have difficulty in choosing.

After the initial decision of Jiaozhou, the Rebels did not idle, but by the way, they took the general trend and wiped out all the native settlements in the surrounding mountains and plains of the Red River Plain. Among them, the Rebels obtained their wealth, goods and population, and attached to the local tycoons who helped the war. Native soldiers and regimental training, according to the level of contribution and contribution, are divided into real estate such as farms, houses, and land, which can also be regarded as a mutually beneficial mutual benefit.

Of course, in addition to military conquest, the economic lifeline and the means of infiltration are also indispensable.

Compared with the relatively developed and mature Annan coastal trade activities since South Vietnam, the economic structure of the inland states of Annan is relatively simple. The main output is rice, mulberry, wood, and ore; and then mixed with some Cattle and animals are born with something; plus gold, miscellaneous incense, cinnabar, etc. produced by the barbarians who changed hands.

And the bulk materials such as salt and iron, which are related to people's livelihood, and even daily necessities such as silk, brocade, Luo, paper, pens, porcelain, pottery, and even copper coins and utensils; all depend on Guangfu and Huzhou. External input. Therefore, as a means of subsequent operation and maintenance, the development of diversified handicrafts and river transport business activities is the long-term solution for the Rebels to continue to digest the results of this series of battles.

For example: after the initial decision of Jiaozhou, while sweeping the country with soldiers, the rebels managed (occupied) the landless land created by the coastal wars, or took over the rebellious properties of the thieves; and those real estate fragments. The small and medium-sized wealthy families in China carry out replacement and redemption.

In addition to the rescued population and livestock, there are also a large number of captured natives for driving and enslavement; it is easy to create a large area, with Jiaozhou Dagang and Haimen Town as the radiating center of the new villages and settlements. .

Then in turn, after relying on a firm foothold, it will further tap the potential of local characteristic cash crop planting and native goods processing. In this way, the coastal areas of Annan are no longer purely dependent on the prosperity and prosperity caused by various re-export trades, but long-term stable industries and beneficiaries with both in and out; this is tantamount to creating a disguised form in the coastal areas of Annan. A large number of potential vested interests are different from the inland and naturally inclined to the rebels.

As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests; whether it is the fear of cruel and terrorism, or the gratitude or the praise of praise; after the initial continuity, it will eventually follow. With the passage of time, the passage of time gradually dissipates in people's hearts and is slowly forgotten; only with vital interests as the link, is the easiest existence to be maintained and maintained.

From a long-term perspective, as long as these civilians who are within the influence of the rebels can be eaten and even profitable; as time goes by, they will spontaneously reject and eliminate those, obviously The unfavorable factors and noise for the rebels.

For Zhou Huai'an, the biggest intangible gain came from his own army building and three-view forging.

If we say that the former Stormrage Camp, which still bears the stigma and residual influence of the traditional insurgents, has now gone through a series of long-distance and extraterrestrial battles, producing honors, achievements and conquests under the identity of the country and ethnic group. It has basically transformed into a new army, which is initially supported and maintained by its own barely self-consistent theoretical system, beliefs and goals. Let’s just refer to the prototype of a new army.

Therefore, in the concise doctrines and slogans to be read and implemented in the morning and evening, the routine content of "Protect Li Shu and not be a prisoner" was added in due course.

One of the big gains was the local collection of army households and soldiers scattered throughout Annan, and there were also two to three thousand people. Although generally some are older and not lacking in family burdens, the experience and skills of the veterans of the Hundred Wars are not bad.

In fact, these Long March athletes from the north, Zhennan pawns, as long as they can hear the initial adaptation period, they can be said to be the existence of explosive strength in the local area, and they can often beat the locals several times more than their own. Barbaric forces; and has extensive deterrence in surrounding areas.

Just like the six thousand soldiers stationed in Linxiyuan at the beginning, they can easily suppress several powerful tribes including Qiyuan Cave (via Vietnam's Liangshan), and they dare not be surprised and acted for generations.

In addition, they do not have a clear ownership and organizational system, and their backgrounds and backgrounds are relatively messy, and it is difficult to form a group of township parties; they are very suitable as a local defense force after the expansion of the army, or as the backbone and backbone of the reserve system. .

Therefore, many of them are willing to abandon those military villages and fortifications that are no longer valuable, and move their families with their mouths to the Annan coast under the control of the rebels, and even the farther Lingdong land to settle down. The resettlement homestead in the corresponding farm. Of course, we cannot relax in their follow-up education and reformation.

Naturally, in this process, it is not that there have been twists and turns and repetitions; or that after gradually moving away from the scope of news and changes in Jiaozhou that can be affected, there are always forces that do not believe in evil and want to take the opportunity. Weigh the weight of the rebels to achieve their own ambitions and desires.

For example, in Huanzhou in the south, they encountered more determined resistance from local forces. With the combined efforts of dozens of big family gentry who occupied the Huanzhou city and felt good about themselves, the local corps and village soldiers who were instigated even chopped off the head of a small tycoon and patriarch who was sent as a messenger. Come down town.

Then there was nothing to say, directly under the cover of the platoon and the crossbow volley, blasted the city gate with the car's stone cone ram. Take the enemy's subordinate army horses as the first to fight into the city, and then start a purge and purge;

In the end, except for the majority of the poor who were deliberately let go and the civilians who failed to participate in the defense of the city, all kinds of people who were chopped off suddenly piled up outside the city gate. In addition, more than two thousand Ding Zhuangs were taken away and assigned to the army for at least ten to twenty years of redemption.

Then, it was like breaking through a certain critical point in the heart of a person; or it made people realize that in addition to the strict discipline and goodwill of the people, the rebels also dealt with their opponents cruelly and ruthlessly. ;

As a result, the local tendency to self-reliance and stubborn refusal caused by the wars disappeared for a while, leaving behind a scene of fusion of all kinds of pots and pans welcoming the righteous teachers.

In addition, it was in the area of Wushiling (Jiaonuo Pass) near Shu (Xiao)zhou (to the west of Vinh City, Vietnam), which passed through the genus. -Nuotouman’s ambush and frequent attacks have suffered a lot; the new attached army that spontaneously acted as the forerunner was almost completely destroyed on the mountain road; and the rebel army has attacked several times due to the complicated terrain, and they have all been beaten. Hundreds of people were lost.

Finally, by listening to the experience of the local hunters, collecting a large amount of charcoal and straw bales, piled them on the cart and threw them all the way and burned them all the way; this broke the other side's means of hiding and hiding. Expose the barbarians in the mountains like secret mice to broad daylight, and then defeat and annihilate them in front of the array that advances like a wall; even the few dangerous villages hidden in the mountains have not been spared. After being broken by the rebels, they were killed by the native soldiers and then put to the torch.

Later, when he was still in the south of Luofu (Small) State (now Haewan City, Vietnam), he defeated a Champa dynasty army that had been invaded and burned from Linyi Kingdom. Nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed before and after they gathered. Wan Lian broke through more than ten city walls in Linyi country, and slaughtered them all the way to the place of the birthplace of Wang's surname under Youluoja City;

Finally, the current king of Champa, who was usurped by the nobles of the previous dynasty, was jealous due to the shock of Dharavarman II. He sent envoys to use gold, silver and bronze wares and rice and other products. Slave a few mouths, as the price to eliminate misunderstandings and put the troops down;

And this Champa dynasty is also an anomaly. The domestic system of fourth-class caste inherited from Nantianzhu, but it believes in Mahayana Buddhism, and the patron saint of the royal family is the Nanhai Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.

Although, in the end, the Rebels did not occupy a single inch of Linyi country on the bright side, but they left those who defeated the city wall to the local soldiers who gathered there, and supported a group called the former king of the ring on the captured land. The separatist power of descendants serves as a buffer between borders.

By the way, in this era, the Luchenla Kingdom (now Laos to Cambodia), which was adjacent to Linyi and Annan, was also during the reign of the Khmer (Khmer) dynasty, and it was beginning to build the Great Angkor City (Wu Brother King City), which is the original origin of the famous Angkor Wat ruins in later generations;

Then for a time, under the good situation of "internal and external clothing, reputation", Zhou Huai'an was left to continue the armed parade (declaration and deterrence) Yanbian at the southern end of Annan, and at the same time set the southern copper pillars of the ancient Ma Fubo, and other The ancient ruins were recovered and repaired intact, and the identity of the future generations was erected as a note.

As the saying goes, if you want to perish the clan, you will perish its history; what's more, this will not even have the shadow of the separatist regime; therefore, Zhou Huaian can remember and pay homage to the ancestors and arrange for the local staff to collect the money. And re-editing the local historical chronicles;

Then the historical records of "Eastern Han Dynasty Ma Yuan quelled the Zheng's sisters rebellion", "Zhaoyu rebellion in the Three Kingdoms period", "Li Ben rebellion in the Southern and Northern Dynasties", "Li Fuzi uprising in the Sui Dynasty", etc., were revised and downplayed. To eliminate the attributes of resistance to oppression and ethnic stance; and to highlight the destruction and pain caused by the ruthless thieves and savages to the civilization and civilization;

Then properly stuffed in some popular favorites, and normal people's paradoxical exaggeration of the three roads, as well as some anti-human-style curious and heavy-mouthed short stories, as the content of private goods and irrigation.

Of course, these legends themselves can use a lot of black history. For example, there are written records in ancient history books: Zhao Yu was born as a female bandit, and although she was unmarried, dozens of young men handed over and served with her; while the sisters of the Zheng family from the Tu nationality robbed their criminal husbands and gathered together to fight against the chaos. It is a strange species whose breasts are long enough to pass the shoulders. . . . .

In this way, as long as future generations are a little bit more uplifting, maybe there will be no monkey country split from Chinese civilization, and textbooks are still forced to follow China's history, and many anti-China dramas have been compiled to yoke the so-called national pride. The strange flower exists. (End of this chapter)
