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 glimmer of hope.
"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 Qianshen said with great bitterness.
After the great elder spoke, all the Qiang-headed people also spoke. Suddenly, the royal tent, which was like Ma Chao's words, 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 Qiang people did join the Han Dynasty, but they could not stand 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 continue to rebel. If they don't rebel, they will have no way to survive. There is no way to survive if you rebel, but at least you can express your resentment before dying. Why not rebel? You will die no matter what, so what is there to be afraid of?
Under this situation, the Han Dynasty basically beat 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 had no choice but to suppress them vigorously. If this situation lasted for a long time, the Qiang people could only rebel, and this went back and forth.
The more the Qiang people rebelled, the more severely the Han Dynasty suppressed them after they were pacified. Similarly, the more difficult the Qiang people lived, the more difficult the Qiang people lived, the more they wanted to rebel. This is an endless loop. The Han Dynasty became more and more afraid of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people increasingly distrusted the Han Dynasty. After defeat, they faced endless exploitation. This was a deadlock!
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 stage to directly clear the map. Kill all the Qiang people wherever they go!
Huangfu said that although Zhang Huan could do better, he still treated them differently and could not treat them equally. In the end, he still had 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. It almost became a feud!
Although Liangzhou Sanming is strong, it is not for nothing. To solve the problem of the Qiang people with a population of three million was 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. They will die anyway, so what to think about, live today, just live today, and death tomorrow is still a matter of tomorrow.
On the contrary, the Han Dynasty needs to think about something else. Killing and killing cannot solve the problem. But by the time the Han Dynasty understands this, it is impossible for the Qiang people and the Han Dynasty to sit down and talk. Even if the Han Dynasty wants to talk, the Qiang people will not be able to solve the problem. I don¡¯t believe it anymore.
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 point, 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 skimp on the army at all. Naturally, the Qiang and Hu followed Dong Zhuo and had a living.
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 if they invadedIn our place in Xiliang, they will definitely be ruthless, but the Qiang people did not rebel because these people kept them well fed. Although the rules were very harsh, as long as you obeyed, no one would go out of their way to find them. You are in trouble.
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. It is clear to the extent that whatever you do, we will kill you, and you can use force to do whatever we do.
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, after Dong Zhuo died, 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.)
