Han Shizu

Chapter 1515 The hidden danger of Hu Department
"It seems that Zhao Qing still has concerns about Xiao Siwen!" Emperor Liu smiled slightly.

Zhao Pu paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Siwen is indeed talented. He is tolerant of both literature and martial arts, good at executive affairs, able to manage affairs, and familiar with Sinology. Even in the Han Dynasty, such talents are rare.

After Xiao Siwen came to the south, he has always been quiet, respectful, diligent and loyal, and provided the court with a lot of Khitan false and true secrets, and the minister has no prejudice against him.However, after all, he is a member of the Khitan tribe, or an aristocrat of the four internal tribes. How long his obedience and loyalty to the imperial court will last, it is inconvenient for the minister to judge.

Shicai, when it comes to the death of the eldest daughter, there is no abnormality on his face, no expression of sadness, no sadness of losing a daughter at all, this heart seems too cold and hard."

In Zhao Pu's words, there is no lack of recognition of Xiao Siwen's ability, and he also recognizes his role in the big man, but inside and outside the words, he is still full of doubts, with a strong sense of guard, and by the way, he will criticize from the moral level, showing That almost instinctive disdain.

But listening to Zhao Pu's words, Emperor Liu smiled lightly, looked at Youyou and said, "To tell the truth, Zhao Qing, if I trust Xiao Siwen, it's not even worth talking about. It's just that once you come, you can rest in peace. It's time to spend time in Nantou." It's not too short, and I was really left out for a while.

Now, he is determined to forge ahead, make contributions to the great man, and has achieved results. This enthusiasm should be affirmed.Without Xiao Siwen, we would not have such a thorough understanding of Khitan, and without Xiao Siwen's hard work in recruiting, those noble tribes of Khitan would not respond to join us.

People who come from far away can live in peace, and also follow the way of ancient sages and sages.If you want to use it, then you should have no doubts about employing people. The so-called theory doesn't matter what you think, as long as it is beneficial to the court and the great man, as for private morality, it does not need to be used as the basis for measuring gains and losses.

In the Great Han Dynasty, with you virtuous and chaste ministers, are you afraid of lack of morality?If you think that he has ulterior motives and has Qing and others to take care of him, are you still afraid of Xiao Siwen? "

Emperor Liu's remarks also showed some demeanor and generosity, no matter whether he agreed with it or not, Zhao Pu still praised the high theory with a submissive attitude.

"Just now when we mentioned recruiting and buying Khitan tribesmen, I saw a strange look on his face and any concerns in his heart, so let's talk about it together!" Emperor Liu was also satisfied with Zhao Pu's understanding, and asked instead.

Mentioning this, Zhao Pu pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, I do have doubts about this matter."

After a short pause, he organized his language and continued: "In the past two or three years, the imperial court has successively accommodated nearly 20 Mobei people. Now, in Yanshan, Shanyang, Yulin and other northern Daozhou, the Hu people of various tribes and tribes are distributed. Already more than 50 people.

With so many Hu people gathered in the northern border, it is too great a threat to the stability of the Han along the border.That generation may be peaceful now, but it may not last for a long time. Even if there are no immediate worries, there are also long-term concerns.

The big man is now powerful, and he is also forced by Tianwei, so he has no choice but to obey, put away his minions, and even lean against the court, and grow and develop with peace of mind.However, once the Hu people are wolf-like jackals, once they grow stronger, they will inevitably backlash. If something happens on the border, these Hu people will become the biggest threat to the stability of the northern side of the Han Dynasty.

The threat of the Khitan people must be higher than that of other ethnic groups. First, they once dominated the grassland. Although they were defeated by the big man, they will definitely not be convinced by the imperial court.Both, as long as the Khitan Royal Court exists in Mobei, the Khitan people attached to it will never be trustworthy, and the court must always be on guard against their two sides, colluding internally and externally."

"There are so many barbarians in northern Xinjiang?" Emperor Liu was a little surprised.

Zhao Pu nodded, and said in a serious tone: "Perhaps, what I said is conservative, but there are actually more people."

Zhao Pu's words obviously woke up Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu's face also showed obvious thought. After a long time, Fang said: "Zhao Qing, you have woken me up again! If Hu Zhong The imbalance in the number is indeed a big hidden danger to the stability of northern Xinjiang!"

"How many Han people are there in the northern Daozhou?" Emperor Liu asked.

"According to the current records, there are more than two million Han people in Yulin and Shanyang, but most of them are concentrated in Yunshuo and the main towns to the south. As for the border areas, there are actually few people.

There are thousands of border states such as Feng and Sheng, and hundreds of cases, among which there are many criminals in Liubian.Although the imperial court migrated many Han people to the borderlands, it was a drop in the bucket in the huge northern border.

In the land of Monan, the garrison army is the main force, and apart from some Han herdsmen, most of the people active in it are merchants traveling from north to south.

In fact, most of the people distributed among them are Hu people from the south.”

"I have to be careful about this matter, the court needs to think more about it!" Emperor Liu stood up, took a few steps in front of the imperial case, and stretched out his hand to indicate.

Noticing Emperor Liu's towering brows, Zhao Pu knew that his remonstrance had completely attracted Emperor Liu's attention.

"The current problem is not just about taking in some Khitan tribesmen, it has already involved the stability of the entire northern border!" Emperor Liu said seriously.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In fact, don't look at the current big Han who looks down on the world, defeated the Liao Kingdom, forced Khitan to flee far to the north of Mobei, and made the south of Yinshan Mountain all Han land.However, the court's rule over Monan is very unreliable. It can be said that it is completely based on strong military strength.

As long as there is a slight change, it will affect the whole body, and even lead to turmoil in the entire northern Xinjiang.The core issue also lies in the internal tribes that the imperial court has accommodated and resettled over the years. Of course, there are also some Uighur and Dangxiang tribes who moved north from Hexi and Yulin.

For these people, the imperial court is still in the process of initial naturalization, and has not established an overly firm rule.Before Emperor Liu, why was he always wary of the Khitan people?

Not only because of the almost inertial thinking of the Khitan enemy, but also because the Khitan who moved north is in a state of recuperation and recovery.Now it seems that this instinctive vigilance is also related to the weak rule of the Han in Monan and even the entire northern border.

Uneasy in my heart, it is always difficult to ignore the threat of the Khitans. As long as the Khitans invade the south, the stability of Monan and even the entire northern border will be challenged.

"Zhao Qing, since you have discovered this problem, you should have a plan in mind on how to solve it!" Emperor Liu looked at Zhao Pu with an inquiring look.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu said calmly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there are two ways to proceed. First, continue to move the population to the northern border to fill the borders and consolidate the ruling foundation of the Han Dynasty; Second, for the tribes distributed in the north, implement the registration of households, completely annex them, and turn them into Han people! However, these two policies are not easy to implement!"

After speaking, Zhao Pu sighed softly.Emperor Liu understood what he meant. Taking immigration as an example, the imperial court has operated it intermittently and intermittently for nearly 20 years, and it has basically stagnated until now, unless it continues to use strong means to move people from the inland Daozhou.

However, the use of coercive means also often represents the generation of public grievances. After all, if it is not a last resort, who would want to go to the frontier to seek a living? At least until now, the resentment of the hundreds of thousands of Han people who have moved to the northwest from the imperial court has not subsided.

The purpose of the imperial court's emigration to the border was to strengthen the control of the border area and consolidate the foundation of the rule, but if there were some dissatisfied people, it would be a hidden danger.

After all, the land conflicts in Dahan's country are not serious now, there are not so many landless refugees, and there is not enough overflow population to migrate to Shibian.

As for the registration of the Hu tribe and Qimin, it's not that they haven't been doing it. It's just that they haven't seen significant results yet, and the resistance they have received is very strong. After all, it is this kind of thorough digestion and annexation that infringes on the interests of those tribes and leaders. .

Previously, for the sake of the overall stability of northern Xinjiang, the local governments did not implement it too forcefully. As far as the local officials are concerned, if the implementation is good, the credit may not be too great. It would be a big mistake if they forced the Hu Ministry to reverse. .

Emperor Liu thought for a while, and suddenly said resolutely: "You have to do it even when it is difficult! Fear of difficulties and dangers should not be the style of a big man, you should face up to difficulties. If you can't force them to immigrate, then use more flexible means." , to formulate friendly policies, to lure them with profits, and the court promises to make great profits, and then implement them. I am afraid that no Han people will not be tempted.

The matter of reorganizing Hu people into households and Qimin must also continue to be promoted. In the past, perhaps due to the situation, in order to seek stability in northern Xinjiang, appropriate compromises had to be made.

But it is wrong to be content with the status quo. We cannot seek temporary peace and leave hidden dangers for long-term stability.Since living in the territory of the Han Dynasty, one must obey the rule of the Han Dynasty. The will of the court cannot be violated by a group of nobles and Hu chiefs! "

"Since you proposed this matter, it's up to you to plan and implement it!"

"Yes!" Zhao Pu replied.
