Liu Daogui's brows were still slightly furrowed, and he said calmly: "Daoji, how long can we guard against barbarians from all walks of life? From the Cao Wei and even the Three Kingdoms period, and then go forward a few hundred years, up to For thousands of years, China only had a large territory in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now it owns the entire world, and so many original barbarians have assimilated into the Han people. Is there no way for these Dong and Banchen barbarians in the mountains to become Han people?"
Tan Daoji sneered and said: "Brother Daogui, you are just like Brother Jinu. You take some things for granted. How can people's folk customs be changed so easily? People live in the mountains, so why should they change hundreds of thousands of years of customs? How about coming out of the mountain and being ruled and governed by us Han people?"
At this point, Tan Daoji paused: "On the surface, this is a matter of customs and sentiments. In fact, just like the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming, people are free in the mountains, not subject to human rule, and do not have to pay taxes. , Don’t be too happy if you are exploited by the government. After you come out, your material life may be better, but you have to be controlled by the government, which they don’t want to do.”
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Daoji, the villages mentioned in the Peach Blossom Spring are not managed by anyone. They all rely on the self-consciousness of each household. Every household can be self-sufficient. Do you think it is possible in reality?"
Tan Daoji laughed: "That's just Tao Yuanming's self-talk. Brother Jinu has talked to us. It's just a satire on the present, saying that there is no government, no court, no taxes, and everyone is aware of the kingly way. It’s just a paradise, but basically he wants to oppose us officials and generals, this guy is very bad.”
Liu Daogui nodded: "Yes, after all things are born, there is a king. This king is to complete various management, allocation and dispatch of various resources. You said that it is like our Beifu Army, if it were not for the big brother Now, can we achieve today's achievements? If General Liu Laozhi had been leading us, I'm afraid we would have disbanded long ago, and our lives would not even be saved."
Tan Daoji said seriously: "It is true. A snake cannot survive without a head. A good leader is better than thousands of troops. When you say this, I understand. These barbarian tribes in the mountains also have their leaders. The leader is Just like when Cao Wei visited the Southern Xiongnu before, he also wanted to let all the troops be in command. Only when the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu is willing to enter the fortress can it be accomplished, right?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "The problem of barbarians entering the mountains can be traced back to thousands of years ago. They fled into the mountains because of various wars and natural disasters. Although they rely on the mountains to live in the mountains, the environment in the mountains is not as comfortable as on the plains, especially Farming can guarantee harvests. We have seen many barbarians going out to rob the mountains, including Beidi on the northern grasslands. From time to time, they went south into the fortress, robbed and ran away. In most cases, it was because they had suffered disasters and had no food sources. If you don’t have food or clothing, you have to come and grab it.”
Tan Daoji sneered and said: "If you don't have anything to eat, you come to rob and kill people. Can our hungry victims also do this? Brother Daogui, you just have a good heart. You only want to influence these tigers, wolves and barbarians. But I don’t want them to change their banditry habits.”
"Moreover, when Wu Huan was in chaos, didn't he have anything to eat or drink? We Han people took pity on them and introduced them to live in the Great Wall. Places like Bingzhou and Guanzhong are the hinterland of China and even the capital areas of Qin and Han Dynasties. As a result, these people are not Not thinking of these kindnesses of taking in, but taking advantage of the Eight Kings Rebellion to start an army and start a rebellion. It is really a wolfish ambition. If you ask me, you should not think of keeping them in the hinterland and becoming the source of trouble. So Brother Daogui, your This idea of letting them live in the mountains should be withdrawn before formal discussion."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Daoji, you say these barbarians are ambitious and ungrateful. Then what's going on with the Eight Kings Rebellion? Those are blood relatives of the Sima family, the most orthodox Han bloodline. , Dragon Son and Grandson, didn’t they also provoke wars and bring disaster to the world when the world was at peace? Are the only people with different intentions are the barbarians? Now the world is in chaos. The demon thieves, Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, are the leaders of the chaos. , and even the altar masters, senior brothers and others, are they Han or Hu?"
Tan Daoji also frowned and said nothing.
Liu Daogui said seriously: "It is easy to get rid of the thieves in the mountains, but it is difficult to get rid of the thieves in the heart. The thieves in the heart do not distinguish between Hu and Han, and the alienation has nothing to do with whether they are foreigners. Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, those who have caused great chaos in the world have often been many. They are Han people, so we cannot just focus on the foreign tribes and think that they are going to cause chaos, and treat them differently. The fundamental reason why the five barbarians are causing chaos is not that they are foreigners, but their organizational model."
Tan Daoji was surprised: "Organizational model, what does this mean?"
Liu Daogui said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that when the five tribes of the Southern Huns entered the fortress, they divided the Huns into five tribes and lived together. Therefore, the leaders of these five tribes are Huns. They have to return to their own tribes to respond to all requests. ability, because the tribesmen usually only see these leaders, chiefs, and chiefs, but never the officials of the imperial court. Over time, they only listen to these chiefs and not to the imperial court. They will pay taxes if they are asked. , let them rebel and they will rebel."
Tan Daoji murmured to himself: "In this way, it seems that this is really the case. Just like the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao, they use the model of preaching and five buckets of rice to help each other to make the believers trust them and win. By trusting the court and the government, hundreds of thousands of believers and their families will blindly follow him once the church rebels."
At this point, Tan Daoji sighed: "Why aren't we like this? It's just that the one who can make us trust and blindly obey is Brother Jinu. So, Brother Daogui, what you mean is that we have to find a way Educate these barbarians and let them know that the orders of the country are greater than the control of their chiefs and leaders, right?"
"But in this way, you have to weaken the control of the chiefs and chiefs over these tribesmen and tribes as much as possible, instead of the other way around. After they leave the mountains and build villages, they will continue to be controlled by these chiefs and chiefs. Brother Daogui, you must have rebelled against our rule."
Liu Daogui said calmly: "Then have you ever thought about it, if I don't let these chiefs, the chiefs can come out to continue to be township chiefs and village chiefs, and continue to allow them to manage and control these tribesmen and tribes, how can I coax them to do so?" How can they be willing to come out? If these Dong barbarians don't come out of the mountains and organize their people into households, how can they farm and live like us Han people and transform into Central Plains people like us?"
