Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

He Hua chuckled, touched the back of his head, and stopped talking.

Seeing He Hua's appearance, Li Mu, who was about to open the envelope, couldn't help laughing and cursing, "Say something quickly, or you'll get out!"

He Hua rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "Governor, it's not that I talk too much, but I just want to ask, how much credit can I get for this?"

Li Mu glared at He Hua angrily, and said, "I haven't even read this letter yet, how can I know the value of the information in this letter? Just feel free to go, how can I be greedy for Mo Ru's credit? "

He Hua smiled awkwardly and said: "The governor is joking, I have also been under the command of the governor for many years, so I naturally have confidence in the character of the governor. In fact, I just want to ask, if the credit is big enough, can I Can you distribute some to those who died."

After a pause, He Hua hurriedly said again: "If it's not enough, then we still have 100 people, and we can share our credit together after the battle is settled."

After listening to He Hua's words, Li Mu couldn't help showing a strange look on his face, and said after a while, "Don't you know that this private distribution of military merit is a serious crime, and you dare to mention it in front of me?"

Because in the Zhao Kingdom, military merit is the only way for most common people to obtain new land and new wealth, so the calculation of military merit has always been very strict, and it is even more difficult to casually distribute one's own merit to others. is strictly prohibited.

Otherwise, once the boss forces the subordinates to hand in the credit, wouldn't the subordinates have done nothing?As soon as this wind grows, the army will no longer have any combat power to speak of.

This is a mind-blowing thing.

He Hua smiled wryly, and said: "The governor should know that the situation is not what the governor thinks. Now the land and livestock that have been distributed by the credit are all named and surnamed, even if you want to transfer them, you can't transfer them. So everyone just thinks We can directly distribute more land and livestock to those orphans and widowed mothers, so that they can have more hope in the future."

Li Mu was silent.

Li Mu knew that what He Hua said was indeed the truth.

Since Zhao State, like Qin State, stipulates that once they reach adulthood, they must separate and go out to live alone, so generally speaking, there is only one adult male in a family.

Under such circumstances, the death of any Zhao soldier in battle means that a Zhao family has lost the pillar of the family and the most important labor force.

Once the man dies, the life of the remaining orphans and widows must be very sad.

Although it is said that Zhao Guo's government usually gives a certain amount of pension, but the pension is usually just some money, which can last for a while, but it is difficult to last for a long time.

Only by obtaining enough land can we obtain more living capital for these orphans and widowed mothers.

Li Mu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "You should know that most of those who died in battle were Huns."

The Huns, that is, the Huns who surrendered to Zhao.

In the army of Zhao State, and even within the entire Zhao State, there have always been disputes about how to deal with the Hu people in the north, such as Lin Hu, Lou Fan, Yi Qu, and the Huns.

To put it simply, one of the factions held that "people who are not of our race must have a different heart", and felt that these Hu people were not members of the Huaxia tribe at all, so Zhao Guo should not accept them, but should enslave them.

Specifically, it is like the distinction between "nationals" and "savages" when the Zhou Dynasty founded the country. These barbarians are regarded as the same as those "savages" who did not follow the royalization of the Zhou Dynasty, and they can be used as hard labor, Be a slave, be a low-level soldier, etc., but you just can't be regarded as a Zhao Guoren.

This faction is also the mainstream voice in Zhao Guo's political arena, especially in the military. People like Lian Po, Zhao Kuo and others are all supporters of this view.

The other faction is just the opposite. They believe that cavalry will become the protagonists in future wars with their super high mobility and flexibility, and the Hu people who grow on horseback happen to be the best of Zhao cavalry. Candidates.

If you just want to rely on slavery, it is impossible for the Hu people to serve loyally. Only by giving the Hu people the true status of Zhao Guoren, let the Hu people feel the influence of Zhao Guohua, and let them admit from the bottom of their hearts that they are a Zhao Guoren. In this way, when they fight for Zhao Guo, they will naturally do their best.

Another very favorable point of view is that when the predecessor of Zhao State, Jin State, was expanding, it eliminated many barbarian countries entrenched in the Taihang Mountains. The people and soldiers of these barbarian countries were later integrated into Jin State. Adding bricks and tiles to Jin's hegemony.

Since the state of Jin was able to assimilate the barbarians in the Taihang Mountains, why couldn't the state of Zhao assimilate these barbarians in the north?

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, when the [-] princes were enfeoffed, the entire land of the Central Plains was ruled by savages.Thousands of years later, the savages have long since disappeared, leaving only the seven princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

Doesn't such a thing prove that the system of the Zhou Dynasty can actually assimilate it effectively?Zhao Guo, as the master of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty, was naturally able to do this.

There are not many people who hold this view, and Li Mu is one of them.

What surprised Li Mu was that he knew that this He Hua in front of him actually hated the barbarians, especially the Huns.

Back then, when He Hua knew that he was assigned to the territory of the Huns, he came to find Li Mu specifically, hoping to get Li Mu to change his place, but it was unsuccessful.

So Li Mu really wants to know what happened to make a guy who hates the Huns so much change his position during this period and become a wife and child who wants to protect his Hun soldiers man of.

Chapter 934 Robe Ze (Fifth Change)

For this answer, Li Mu did not wait too long.

He Hua quickly responded.

"I also took orders under the account of the governor of the capital, so the governor should know that I have always hated the barbarians.

why?Of course it was because my eldest brother died at the hands of those damned Huns!

So what am I joining the army for?It's to avenge my elder brother, to kill those damn barbarians!

Over the years, I have been doing this all the time, and I have done a good job. I have killed many barbarians and become a five hundred master.

But my hatred for the barbarians has never subsided for a day, Commander-in-Chief.

I have always felt that even if these damned Huns surrendered and changed their names to Huns, they would not be able to become citizens of Zhao, let alone be recognized by me!

So I have been training them all the time, and even recruited a guy who is said to be the former chief of the Wanfu to train them, just to have the opportunity to teach them a lesson and kill a few Huns to vent their anger!

But, these Huns can really endure hardships, no matter how I ask Dang Lu to train them, they can grit their teeth and endure it.

I also asked them why they were so tolerant, and they told me, because as long as you train hard in the military camp, you can have enough food!

These Huns, many of their wives and mothers have just given birth, and their children are waiting to be fed, and they don't have any pastures or land, so they are struggling to support them with their monthly money.

Later, I brought them to the battlefield. There was a boy who killed someone for the first time, and he came to me with a head and asked me what reward I could get in exchange for this head.

I told him that this human head can be exchanged for a cow, and he can also get a field, and he can use the cow to plow the field.

That kid was so happy, he told me that he was going to cut off another head, so that he could have one more cow for his brother's family to graze and plow.

He slept with the head in his arms for two nights before he was finally willing to hand over the head to the master.

But he didn't survive.

In that battle, in order to protect my life, he forcibly hit a crossbow arrow from the people of Qi.

The arrow pierced his stomach, and his intestines flowed out. He struggled painfully for an entire hour before he died.

Chief Governor, if it wasn't for him, then I would be the one who died! ! !

Just like him, four hundred people died for me and for the country of Zhao!

Four hundred, the four hundred people who were with me day and night, all died just like that.

They are Huns, but they also fought to the last moment for the king and for the country of Zhao.

If it weren't for their persistence and tenacity, I would have died long ago, and there would be no subsequent counterattack. There was a victory that wiped out more than 1000 Qi troops!

For me, they are my robes.
