Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2860: Suffer the surrender first

The muscles at the corners of Liu Yu's mouth twitched sharply, and he fell into a long silence. Liu Muzhi's words touched on the point he was most worried about. After a long time, he sighed: "At this point, then It’s just our fate. I told you and Miao Yin before this point. This is a matter between countries and cannot be influenced by personal feelings. If she is the Princess Yan, she refuses the peace talks and talks to us. To fight to the end, it will only be a showdown on the battlefield. If after this battle, she is still alive, then she will only be the same as the Xianbei in the whole city, accepting the disposition of the defeat."

Liu Muzhi frowned: "You mean, if the Xianbei people in the city surrender to negotiate a peace, they will be settled as Dajin people, teach them Chinese, and then be scattered to various villages... If the Xianbei resist to the end, they will not refuse. After surrendering, the city will become a slave after the city is broken? The same as the treatment of the prisoners of the Yan army in the battle of Linqu?"

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is the law of war. If it is according to the general rules, even if the army is to be slaughtered for a few days, just like the brothers wanted. I can forbid them to slaughter people. It's not easy. You know, if it is a city that has been broken through bitter battles and strong attacks, the soldiers will have a red eye, and it will be difficult to control."

Liu Muzhi sighed: "Soldiers, it's really a murder weapon. The kings of the past did not dare to move lightly. There is also a reason. War will dehumanize people and turn people into beasts. So we still have to find a way to get Murong Lan into the city. Control, and then talk about a plan acceptable to both her and Xianbei soldiers and civilians. Your proposal to teach all Xianbei people to read and learn Chinese characters and then disperse them into various Han villages. I think it’s good, but it’s better not to mention it at the beginning. It’s about tribes."

   Liu Yu frowned: "Are you afraid that these tribal leaders and nobles in Xianbei will oppose it?"

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, to them nobles and adults, the tribesmen in the tribe are their property, just like the manor and villagers of the family, it determines whether they can continue to be humans. People. And these Hu people’s tribes have often been ruled by one family for hundreds of years, just like a small kingdom in the Central Plains. Cao Cao couldn’t separate them from the Huns. I’m afraid they also had this consideration."

   Liu Yu shook his head: "According to you, we can't separate these tribes and spread the accounts of each family to all parts of Dajin?"

Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "No, I mean, this matter should not be urgent, at least not as a necessary condition of the peace talks during the siege. Negotiations need to be considered from the standpoint of the other party, ordinary Xianbei. The people just want to survive, but the chief Xianbei and the nobles who really hold power must want to continue to have their own power and clan members. If these are gone, they might rather fight to the end. Therefore, we need to try to stabilize these Xianbei by then. Nobles, promise them to keep their clan members, and after they surrender, they will fall into our hands, and then do what you want. At that time, they will have no way to resist."

   Liu Yu's brows frowned: "Does this break the trust of others and the world? Not very good."

Liu Muzhi hooked the corner of his mouth: "There is no dishonesty, let them continue to keep the tribe after breaking the city, and then divide the tribe into a dozen schools to concentrate on learning Chinese. This period is about a year or so, let them divide In all places in Lunan, the old Han farmers are also allowed to teach them farming. After they have finished their studies, they will be given the fields to divide the land. At this time, their tribes will be dispersed, because there are hundreds of tents in a tribe, and we are big Some counties in Shanxi are less than a thousand households. It is impossible for the entire county to be assigned to them a tribe. Then who is it that destroys whose country? This village is divided into several hundred acres of land, and that village is allowed to have three or five. Hu, this principle should be understood by the nonsense after learning how to farm the land. Even if several tribes are opposed to it, ordinary tribes will not follow suit."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "In fact, from my experience on the grassland, I know that if these humiliated people want him to produce, they would be very envious of our Han people's farming, at least better than watching the sky and eating on the grassland. Any guaranteed nomadic life must be strong. If they can be incorporated and treated like the Han people, instead of serving as a soldier as a tax and service, and having to work with their own hands to eat, then everyone would definitely want to choose farming. This It’s not just a few tribe leaders who can control them. As for these tribe adults, I think they can also arrange some official positions at that time, but try to separate them from their original tribes to avoid the opportunity for them to continue to contact, and then let their nephews and nephews into the Tai Tai Learn from the Imperial College and take it as a hostage."

Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Look, you can think of these methods without me mentioning them. In fact, as long as these Xianbei people leave Guanggu City, it will be easy to handle. The defeated generals cannot be brave and lose the strong city. With the country, and the Xianbei who have no weapons, there are no conditions for resistance. Muronglan has always wanted Hu and Han to reconcile, UU reading www.uukanshu.com truly become a family, so that her people can stay in the Central Plains forever , I think this should be the best solution, she has no reason to refuse."

Liu Yu hooked up his mouth: "Not necessarily, this will destroy the country of Yan, or make the country established by her ancestors cease to exist. She has mentioned this to me before. From her point of view, she hopes to keep it. The clansmen as a whole let Murong Chao go to the emperor and give the title of King Yan, just like the Murong tribe was conferred in the Western Dynasty. In other words, like Cao Cao divided the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes, they still retained this title alone. "

Liu Muzhi shook his head and sighed: "This is still the root cause of the chaos. If you don’t separate the tribe and keep the leader, you will be chaos again in troubled times. There is a precedent for Liu Yuan. Murong Lan is People who are reasonable should not understand. Besides, the title of King Yan can be retained and continue to be given to Murong Chao as an explanation when they sacrifice to their ancestors, but it is absolutely impossible to continue to give them hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people. Murong Chao, continue to recognize him as the leader. After entering the Great Jin Dynasty, their monarch will no longer be Murong Chao, but the Emperor Sima of the Great Jin Dynasty. There can be no wavering on this point, even when negotiating, we must insist on it. "

Liu Yu laughed: "If you can do this, of course it's best. In fact, as long as you can take down the black robe and prevent him from doing bad things, I think both Alan and Murongchao can accept this condition. As for Murongchao. Do you have any good suggestions?"
