Chapter 462 The Manchu language is gone

Chapter 462 The Manchu language is gone
Fushun.

At this moment, Chen Hongmou was busy writing at the county government office. The letter of advice to the Shenyang magistrate had been sent immediately, and he was now writing a memorial to be delivered to Nanjing.

The content of the memorial is roughly two sentences: requesting the emperor to issue an order to give new names to the Manchu people in Liaodong Town.

The reason for this is that I went to inspect areas outside the customs jurisdiction a few days ago. The results were not clear until I looked at them. Only after looking at them did I realize that the problem was quite big.

It was not that local officials were found to be derelict in their duties, corrupt, and harming the people.

On the contrary, the officials in Liaodong... at least in the Fushun area and the vast area outside Guan, they were not greedy for a single copper coin.

This is true, because [-]% of those who can come here, regardless of officials, are here for their own future.

In the bitterly cold land of Liaodong, no one would want to come here unless it was really unbearable. Even the immigrants were mostly voluntary, and the court subsidized land allocation and road expenses.

Two years before the immigrants settled in the wasteland, there were tax exemption and tax reduction policies, and the cold was not as bitter as the rumors, but it was colder than in the south.

Chen Hongmou didn't find any problems at first, but when he inspected rural villages, he suddenly saw that almost every village had several paddy fields that were under-irrigated.

By this time, the winter wheat had been harvested, and it was the beginning of summer. The weather was gradually getting warmer, and rice could be grown in Liaodong.

And now is the early stage of immigration, so the people of Liaodong really don't have to worry about land distribution. Basically, the good land per capita is left by the Eight Banners uncles.

Chen Hongmou remained calm and continued to patrol for several days, almost all over Fuxi Town, and then sent people to Saarhu City to inquire about the news.

Only then did he finally confirm that he was not wrong in his judgment. Someone was oppressing the people. To be precise, it was the Han and Korean people who were "joining forces" to exclude the Manchu people.

"This is venting anger!" Chen Hongmou sighed.

Since these Manchu people were able to be absorbed into household registration by the Ming Dynasty, they were naturally the same as the Han people and Goryeo people who had previously been slaves to the Eight Banners lords.

Now that the master of the Eight Banners was beaten away, the people of Liaodong suddenly lost their enemies, so of course they turned their anger on the Manchu people, commonly known as a stress reaction.

Who knows that they are all Manchus? In the eyes of the Han people and the Korean people, they are just like the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They are all bad seeds.

The officials and the emperor actually let these bad guys share the land with them. Even if no one dares to discuss state affairs, they should still be dissatisfied.

In addition, the local officials were obviously conniving. They believed that these were all Manchus and belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and there was no need to care about them. They were also deliberately giving the people of Liaodong space to vent.

This can be regarded as a routine operation of the ancient government. For the small Chinese people to surrender, they have always imposed heavy taxes, heavy labor, and high-pressure policies in turn.

If it weren't for the fact that these young people would rebel in the end, and often immediately settle accounts with the oppressive officials after the rebellion, it would almost make people think that this was intentional.

The Liaodong officials of the Ming Dynasty did not engage in high-pressure policies, but they only condoned the anger and discrimination of the Han people and the Korean people, and the consequences were quite serious.

For example, the Manchus were not allowed to use the water storage canals dug jointly by the village, and then there was a serious lack of irrigation in the fields. By July and August, grain production was drastically reduced.

The Manchu people who had insufficient food to eat had to either wait for the government to provide money for food relief, or they directly rebelled, further intensifying the conflict between the Manchus and Han in Liaodong.

This will not work and will not be conducive to the population recovery in Liaodong.

Chen Hongmou returned to the county that day, and after much thought, he came up with a solution, which was to change the names of these Manchu common people to fundamentally separate them from the Manchu and Qing court.

The so-called Manchuria was not a nation at first. Its name originated from the Tunguska and Mongolian "Manzhoulia" (a land of peace and prosperity).

The Manchu Qing Dynasty officially revised the "Collection of Qing Literature": "The 66 tribes of Manchuria who surrendered to the Long Dynasty all became known as Manchuria."

To put it bluntly, the whole of Manchuria is more like a franchise company. To put it more ugly, Huang Taiji has a strict class system that has been pieced together in order to alleviate the increasing internal conflicts among various ethnic groups and integrate the internal group forces.

In the entire Manchu tribe, there are not only the main Jurchens, but also Han, Koreans, and even Japanese. In another time and space, there will even be many Cossacks in a few decades.

And to put it more unpleasantly, not only was Manchuria forged by Huang Taiji, but even Manchu was fabricated by Nurhaci who appointed two people to be solely responsible for it.

Yes, there are two people. One of them was slapped by Nurhachi before they started working together. The other one is considered a genius. He just pieced together Manchu and compiled it.

Then Huang Taiji felt that the Manchu script was too crude and inconsistent in many places, so he sent...a person to improve the Manchu script.In this way, thanks to two "wizards", Manchu was successfully born and continues to this day.

Ha ha.

As a result, during the Qing Dynasty, the Qing emperors almost did not like to use Manchu, because it was full of errors and omissions. There were no problems with imperial edicts written in Chinese or Mongolian, but Manchu always had ambiguities, or simply can't read.

If we really want to say that Yongzheng's imperial edict was tampered with, then we can only tamper with the Manchu imperial edict.

Chen Hongmou wrote in great detail, for fear that the emperor would not understand it. Anyway, he just told the emperor the necessity of changing the names of these Manchu people.

And changing the name is not the point. The point is the follow-up solution. First, the government will send people to the countryside to gather the Manchu people with great fanfare, and then all the Manchu people will be reorganized according to their place of origin: Han people, Japanese, Koreans, and Jurchens. household.

The Jurchens no longer need to be called Jurchens. They can just change their names to Mohe or Sushen. The Japanese changed their names to Fusang. What they want is that the common people cannot understand and make them think that these Manchus are all coerced, and many of them are of the same race.

In this way, if the government takes advantage of the situation, this problem will naturally arise.

The memorial written by Chen Hongmou was actually a report to the emperor, and the specific implementation plan had been quickly sent to Shenyang and handed over to the prefect.

A few days later, Fuxi Town.

At the entrance of Erli Village, many people were queuing up, and there was a scribe at the front of the queue who was responsible for registration.

Clerk: "What's your name?"

People: "Wang Ergou."

Clerk: "Which tribe are you from?"

People: "I don't know."

Clerk: "Then which tribe are your parents from?"

Common people: "I haven't seen my father, but my mother must be Han Chinese."

Clerk: "Then he will be a Han Chinese."

People: "Thank you sir."

Clerk: "Next."

More people came forward, and those who lined up were all the Manchu people who had been summoned.

Not only this village has it, but other villages are also implementing it simultaneously.

As an official in Liaodong, not only Chen Hongmou, the appointed number one county magistrate, but also other subordinate officials also had great autonomy.It is just a matter of reorganizing the household registration of the Manchu people in the jurisdiction. This matter can still be decided, but it must be reported.

When these Manchu people were registered as households, they had unified Chinese names and surnames. If there were not enough surnames, the scribes would come up with them.Nowadays, a lot of trouble is saved, and most of them have learned some simple Chinese. For those who don't, there are also Chinese translators specially hired from nearby villages.

If you are paid with food, you will not work in vain.

Chen Hongmou's method was simple and crude. These Manchus reclassified their household registration. Basically, as long as they could speak two sentences of Chinese and one of their parents was Han, they would all be registered as Han.

The entire Fuxi Town was finally settled, and the Manchu people were directly reduced by two-thirds. The remaining one-third was also changed to the Mohe and Goryeo tribes, and the Fusang people were directly deleted in name.

Most of these Fusang people are descendants of the Wanli Korean War. After many years of reproduction, they have long lost their Fusang characteristics. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are Han people.

The only surprise is that Fuso is gone, but there are some more Russians.

 I feel like I will be banned
