Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 448 Yizhou Example
In the past year, the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou, partnered by Guan Ning and Lu Xun, has achieved great results. Not only have most of the Dongbei tribes accepted the Governor's Mansion, many Orientals have begun to live in Chu City in Yizhou. Through employment, Obtain rewards, exchange for food and other goods, and several tribes, large and small, have completely become Chu nationalities!

On the same day that Gan Ning ascended Danzhou, Guan Ning, on behalf of the King of Chu and the State of Chu, erected the "Chu Monument" together with a tribe that had just been willing to completely surrender.

This is the ceremony to completely merge into the Chu State. At that time, a stone monument with the word Chu will be erected in the center of the tribe's territory. At the same time, on the front of the Chu Stele, it is engraved that the Chu State will also unconditionally treat everyone in the tribe as a member of the Chu State. Treat all the people in a place the same, and engrave the eight policies to establish the country...

Behind the stone tablet, the names of everyone in the tribe are densely engraved.

It can be found that many of the people who came forward to have their names engraved still have injuries on their bodies. It seems that they have experienced a battle not long ago?

Of course, Guan Ning would not violently annex anyone for the sake of robbery, but...

After accepting the Chu School, the foundation of the very primitive tribal slavery theory of the Dongbo people was greatly impacted. Especially after the slaves at the bottom began to question the rationality of their enslavement, some reactionary tribal leaders began to boycott the Chu School.

The Governor-General still exercised restraint against such tribes who dared to use violence to resist civilization, and initially only condemned them.

However, once internal turmoil breaks out, the Chu State will rescue them out of humanitarianism, respect the ideas of most members of the tribe afterwards, and include them with the territory into the Chu State... No matter how you look at it, is this reasonable?
It symbolizes that the process of annexing the state of Chu is reasonable, reasonable, and legal. Even if someone wants to have some crooked ideas countless years later, there is definite legal evidence standing here.

Because of the surrender of the tribe and the expansion of unclaimed land that the Dongji people could not develop before, nearly half of Yizhou was already the direct territory of Chu State at this time.

Encouraged by Chu's policies, tens of thousands of Han people have come to Yizhou to open up wasteland.

Some of them came for the tax exemption, exemption from service, and subsidy policies after immigrating to Yizhou, and some of them were official villages that served for a limited period of time, official offices established, and branches sent by aristocratic families who had signed a development agreement with the imperial court...

This caused the culture of the Chu State to quickly take root in Yizhou. Even the tribes that have not yet been formally incorporated into the Chu State, most of them have a high sense of identification with the Chu State. The bad habits of human sacrifice and other things in the past have changed in the "Chuhua" Later, it was resisted from bottom to top.

However, these remaining tribal leaders no longer dare to act rashly and can only watch as their tribesmen gradually become disengaged.

In particular, Guan Ning, as the governor, moved to a different and stubborn tribe every month. With the help of a translator, he started giving lectures in person. Everyone was welcome to attend. Recently, even Guan Ning learned Learned some simple Dongbei language...

Moreover, when Guan Ning was in Yizhou, he also remembered what Bai Tu had specifically entrusted him to pay attention to before leaving.

If the Dongji people wanted to form a tribal group, they don’t need to be forced to merge into the Chu State. Instead, they can simply let them continue to maintain the tribal system, and wait until they are completely disappointed in the tribe, and then rescue them...

These Oriental people have no concept of nation or country. However, if they are forced with brute force, it will stimulate their group consciousness.

It's like the Han people's national consciousness sprouted when they were bullied by the Huns who went south, but the Huns empire was soon dismembered and expelled.

Of course, there are only tens of thousands of Oriental Anchovies in total. If it were really ruthless, it would not be difficult to kill them all - since the civil war of Chinese civilization, in a larger battle, the number of deaths would exceed this number.

But Guan Ning would not do this, and Bai Tu would not allow anyone to do this.

Otherwise, how can the emerging "Chu School" gain a foothold?How can other people believe it?For the sake of Yizhou, attack your own foundation?

On the contrary, as long as you hold on to the "freedom of education" and continue to instill "Chu Xue" into the other party...

A civilization like the Oriental Anchovy, which previously had too little surplus value due to productivity reasons and even imperfect slavery, will only collapse on its own under the short-term surge in "Chu Studies" and productivity, and then be integrated into the Chu State. among.

Especially now, there is a stable once-a-month passenger ship exchange between Yizhou and Kuaiji, which allows representatives of the Dongbei people to travel to Chu for study tours, allowing Chu learning to be imported into Yizhou more directly.

To facilitate this, Guan Ning, who adheres to the principles of a gentleman, is undoubtedly one of the most suitable people.

With the Chu army led by Lu Xun stationed, it is destined to have absolute strength. The Chu State has an absolute advantage in Yizhou. As the governor of education, Guan Ning only needs to exercise education with sincerity and a most public heart...

In peacetime, Guan Ning treats the people of Chu who have immigrated, regardless of whether they are refugees, official officials or aristocratic families, and whether they are punished or not is treated equally.

Especially the case involving the people of Chu, who regarded themselves as a great power and bullied the Dongfu people, Guan Ning went out of his way to publicize the case while doing official business.

For example, last year there was even an incident where the foreman of a private workshop raped and killed several Touhou girls. Many Touhou people made trouble at the Governor's Mansion. When Guan Ning learned about it, the other party had already fled to the Chu country in fear of the crime. , left the port for only half a day, but Guan Ning still ordered him to be pursued by navy clippers. He was traced halfway and was publicly executed in Yizhou.

Afterwards, the wealthy family to which the workshop belonged was also disqualified from assisting in the development by the State of Chu. The crew members who illegally let people on the ship were also held accountable. They used practical actions to support Guan Ning.

In turn, the Oriental people attacked the Chu people... There were very few people who dared to commit suicide like this, but it was true. After all, so many people came into contact with each other, and their civilizations were very different. Naturally, they could not all be harmonious and beautiful. Regarding this, Guan Ning They all declare crimes and punish them, and punish those who teach others!

That's why it was later recorded in the "History of Chu" that Guan Ning lived in Yizhou and turned Yizhou into Xia in five years.

Precisely because of the example of Yizhou, Gan Ning also understood that there was no need to rush when he first arrived in Danzhou...

Compared with the Oriental people, the civilization of the Amato people is further advanced. In terms of productivity, they have transitioned from the Neolithic to the iron tools, and slavery has become relatively mature.

In fact, according to Gan Ning's idea, why bother to expand the country?Isn’t Chu State short of labor now?

For these barbarian states, it is better to frighten their rulers, and then use the control of their rulers, as well as the strong productivity and military power of the Chu State, to continuously squeeze their underlying manpower and resources at a lower cost...

There is no need to treat them as Chu people, and even if there is resistance, they can use their own rulers to suppress them without putting themselves in danger.

Gan Ning also mentioned this idea to Bai Tu in private, but Bai Tu nagged him for two hours, and at one point he wanted to drag him to retake Chu studies...

On the one hand, it was extremely annoying, but on the other hand... Gan Ning just thought about it casually and said it casually. Since Bai Tu strongly resisted, Gan Ning never mentioned the matter again.

Originally, they were just discussing with Bai Tu in private. On the surface, Gan Ning, as the naval commander, was a model of Chu learning.

However, after staying in Ganzhou for a month, more and more information was received by Gan Ning. Even the naval commander was unable to sit still...

Danzhou is so big?

Although the population is much larger than that of Donghao, it is estimated that, excluding the northernmost Ezo, the population of the other three major islands will not exceed 30, which is not as good as a large county. In other words...

"Since there is still a large area of ​​unclaimed land, I, the Great Chu, should develop it on your behalf!"

Gan Ning decided to summon all the surrounding small countries to help them notarize and divide the clan areas on the spot...
