Ma Chao's words silenced all the Qiang leaders. They recognized Ma Chao's position as King of Qiang and recognized his strength. Ma Chao's straightforward manner without any art of speaking was also very in line with the personality of the Qiang people.
How many times have the Qiang people wanted to become subjects of the Han Dynasty, but how many times have they been disappointed. In the end, they can only choose to fight when they know they will lose. If they don't fight, they will have nothing. If they fight, they will still have a chance of survival.
"King, you have never led our clan. You don't know our efforts. We also hope to have food and drink. As long as we pay taxes and fees on time, there will be a country to protect us. But we have been disappointed for too long." The Great Elder Qian Shen said with great bitterness.
After the great elder spoke, all the Qiang-headed people also spoke. Suddenly, the king's tent, which was like Ma Chao's one-word speech, immediately started to curse. Do you really think that the Qiang people have never thought of joining the Han Dynasty? Are you kidding me? As the most powerful and richest country in this era, it would be strange if the Qiang people, a race that does not have serious national concepts and has the same origin, have not thought about it!
But the reality is that the Qiang people want to join, but the Han Dynasty does not want them to join when they have spare power. As the strongest empire, you can join if you want. It is not that simple. Either show your achievements or prove your ability, otherwise you will play in the mud. go.
Some of the Qiang people did join the Han Dynasty, but they could not resist the different treatment by the Han Dynasty. The extremely high taxes and fees made the Qiang people miserable, and they could only revolt. Later, they were subdued by the Han Dynasty and appeased again, until those officials left. Later, the new officials started exploiting again, and the Qiang people continued to resist, and the cycle started again...
This is the reason why the Qiang people keep rebelling. There is no way to survive if they don't rebel, and there is no way to survive if they rebel. But at least they can express their grievances before they die. Why don't they rebel? They will die no matter what, so what's so scary?
Under this situation, the Han Dynasty basically patted and patted the Qiang people. The Han Dynasty was obsessed with the Qiang people's rebellion, and defeated the Qiang people every time. I was worried that the Qiang people would rebel against something, so I could only suppress them vigorously. If this situation lasted for a long time, the Qiang people could only rebel, and it went back and forth.
The Qiang people became more rebellious. After the Han Dynasty was pacified, the more severe the suppression, the more difficult the Qiang people's life became. The more difficult the Qiang people's life was, the more they wanted to rebel. This was an endless cycle, and the Han Dynasty became more and more afraid of the Qiang people. The Qiang people increasingly distrust the Han Dynasty. After defeat, they face endless exploitation. This is a dead end!
It can be said that before Dong Zhuo, including Liangzhou Sanming, the Han Dynasty who were forced by the Qiang people used an iron-blood policy, that is, massacre. Duan Ying came on the scene and directly cleared the map, killing all the Qiang people wherever he passed!
According to Huangfu's rules, although Zhang Huan was slightly better off, he was treated differently if he couldn't stand their care. If we cannot treat everyone equally, the final result will be to use force to solve all problems.
This is indeed a way to deal with problems for the Han Dynasty, but this method obviously cannot solve the recurring problems of the Qiang people. Even if Duan Ying can kill, it is impossible to kill three million Qiang people. It can be said that this method allows The contradiction between the Qiang people and the Han Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and they have almost become feuds!
Although Liangzhou Sanming is strong, it is not a free thing. Solving the Qiang people with a population of three million is really a very difficult problem in the cold weapon era. It's really not easy to kill three million people in a massacre.
The Qiang people will die if they don't fight, and they will die if they fight, but there is no need to think about it. Either way, it's death. What do you think about? Live today, just live today. Death tomorrow is still a matter of tomorrow.
On the contrary, the Han Dynasty needs to think about something else. Killing and killing will not solve the problem. But when the Han Dynasty understood this, it was no longer possible for the Qiang people and the Han Dynasty to sit down and talk. Even if the Han Dynasty wanted to talk, the Qiang people would not believe it.
From then on, the Qiang people have completely become a nomadic people. They will learn from Xianbei and grab it when they have the opportunity. Anyway, they have given up talking about this kind of thing with the Han Dynasty. The trust between the two parties has fallen below the bottom line, and there is no need to talk about it. .
At that level, the only one the Qiang people could trust was the Ma family. However, by the Sanming era of Liangzhou, the Ma family had already declined due to the fact that they were raising thieves and were no longer qualified to serve as an intermediary between the Qiang and the Han Dynasty.
Then came the era of Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo was in Liangzhou, he was brave and fair. He treated the Qiang and Han equally in the government decrees. Although the pyramid structure was established in the army, the Qiang people treated the Han people equally. The combat effectiveness is still recognized, so I also agree with this approach.
In addition, Dong Zhuo was very clear-minded at that time and knew what his foundation was. He did not deduct the slightest from the army. Naturally, the Qiang and Hu followed Dong Zhuo to have food.
They were subdued by Dong Zhuo and forced to follow him, but after following him, they discovered that Dong Zhuo did not exploit them specifically, but instead allowed them to eat. Therefore, the Qiang people were willing to follow Dong Zhuo, and gradually accumulated trust.
Although Li Jue and others often warned them with murderous intent that if they invaded their land in Xiliang, they would definitely be ruthless, but the Qiang people did not rebel because these people kept them well fed, even though they were very harsh. Harsh, but as long as you comply, no one will go out of your way to trouble you.
It can be said that this kind of strict laws formulated by Li Ru are the basis for safeguarding the relationship between the two parties. They are so clear that no matter what you do, we will kill you, and no matter what we do, you can use force.
It was very clear that the law was very strict, and it was really harsh, but it was so clear and clear, and with food guaranteed, the Qiang people decisively chose to follow Dong Zhuo. After all, rebellion was a dead end. Following Dong Zhuo, although it was a bit harder, no matter how cruel Dong Zhuo was , at that time he was fair and just in terms of rewards and punishments!
Needless to say, Dong Zhuo died, and Li Jue did not provide food to the Qiang people. The Qiang people naturally withdrew. According to the decree made by Li Ru, the Xiliang soldiers had to eat without the Qiang people as their servants. , and failing to do so is considered a violation of the law, and to this extent, the Qiang people have the right to use force...
To put it simply, Li Ru's order allowed the Qiang people to use force when they suffered great injustice. However, the law did not say that the Xiliang soldiers could not resist. This was the first time that the Qiang people used force. Under such circumstances, Li Jue would naturally not fail to fight back.
Obviously, Li Ru has tricked the Qiang people from the beginning and allowed you to use force. We are also using force. In the end, everything must be proved with fists. Big fists are justified, and the laws are just to fool you in peacetime. Things, in really critical situations, force will solve everything!
The Qiang people were beaten to a bloody head and had no choice but to retreat. Of course, this kind of thing happened. They decisively occupied part of the Han territory in Xiliang and waited again.
It can be said that the Qiang people now have a somewhat complicated mentality towards the Xiliang army, and they basically have a distrustful attitude towards other people in the Han court. Come on, the Qiang people will never trust the people of the Han court if they form an alliance. (To be continued.)
