"Well, as you said, I agree."

After Ying Zheng listened, he nodded and smiled, "Let's do it like this."

"promise!"

Immediately, Ying Zheng looked at the map again, his eyes went all the way up, across the Great Wall, and saw the vast territory of the Huns.

"The Huns, are you just north of the Great Wall?"

Ying Zheng stretched out his finger and said, "The place where they are located is so vast?"

"Your Majesty, although the Huns seem to have a vast territory, they are actually not the same as us."

Hearing this, Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Their land is all grassland, and it is a barren grassland where no one else can easily graze, so it is naturally their territory.

In our Central Plains, it is the territory around the place where people live, which is completely different.

Moreover, the total population of the Xiongnu is only one million, and this is after the fusion of other nomadic peoples..."

"kindness……"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and sighed, "Millions of people can keep harassing my northern border, it's really abominable!"

"Your Majesty, they haven't been dancing for a few years."

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "When our Great Qin accumulates a lot of money, just sweep him away!"

Chapter 306 Good guy, nationalize the Huns?

[The Huns are a hammer. 】

Feng Zhengxin said, [After a few years, Daqin's national power will become stronger, and a war will not have such a heavy burden and impact on the country, so we can fight it freely. 】

[At that time, it will not be a question of whether to fight or not. If you want to fight, then do so. 】

[I want you to die, let you die. 】

[However, the extermination of the Huns is not the main thing, the main thing is how to bring the area of ​​Mobei into the rule of Daqin. 】

[After all, there are nomadic peoples at any time. If you destroy a Xiongnu, there will be Xianbei, Rouran, and Turks in the future. 】

【Grassland is fertile soil for nomads. As long as there are grasslands, there will be nomads, and if there are nomads, there will be cavalry. 】

[So, the mistakes made by the Central Plains dynasties throughout the dynasties were not that they failed to defeat their opponents in the north, but how to bring the grasslands under the control of the Central Plains dynasties. 】

[It's easy to control. One is the sense of belonging, and the other is the ability to control. 】

[You can't let them only herd herds forever, the culture is completely different, that belongs to the fart, after all, it's not Qin Min. 】

[At the same time, we have to find ways to control it with the most appropriate method]

[For people, controlling people means controlling the land.However, the reverse is also the same, controlling the land is actually controlling people. 】

kindness?

Hey!

After hearing Feng Zheng's heartfelt voice, Ying Zheng felt astonished and moved.

Can't just think about defeating the Xiongnu, you have to think about bringing this area into the land of Qin, and let the people above this area become the people of Qin?

In this way, the troubles of all ages can be broken naturally?

Makes sense, does make sense!

but……

If the dynasty of later generations can achieve it, why didn't they do it?

Ying Zheng wondered, didn't Feng Zheng say that Emperor Wu of the Han defeated the Xiongnu?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did defeat the Xiongnu, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty, he once played with the Xiongnu in his hands.

but!

None of them made any move to truly bring the grassland under the control of the Central Plains.

Rao, the later generations of the Tang Dynasty also established various Protectorate Houses, but they did not achieve real control.

The reason is that a big factor is that it doesn't make much sense.

Yes, it just doesn't make much sense.

After all, next to a lot of grasslands, there is nothing to lose, so what can the Central Plains do with it?

In a word, it is not suitable for farming!

For example, why did the ancients not completely control the Korean peninsula but let it fend for itself? Why did the ancients not have so much control over the land of Yunnan and Guizhou?

That is because there are many mountains, which are not suitable for farming.

It is not suitable for farming, what is the purpose of taking effort to beat it down?

Moreover, this small place cannot raise big bandits.

Moreover, the area next door to the northern grassland is very wide, and it will take a lot of money to control it.

Therefore, when they were able to defeat the prairie wolf, they defeated the prairie wolf.

And that's all...

But in the follow-up, there is no further control at all.

This point, on the contrary, was well controlled by the subsequent Qing Dynasty.

The Manchu Qing originally integrated a large number of Mongolian blood, but for Mongolia, it was strictly controlled and suppressed.

The first method is to strictly control the movements of the Mongols, not allowing them to communicate with the Han people in the interior, let alone learning Han culture.

Then, there are various divisions, and there must be no more unified King Khan.

The last point is also one of the most brutal methods of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is Daxing Buddhism.

That's right, in Mongolia, Buddhism was greatly promoted.

This is not just to control the Mongols ideologically, but also a way to limit the birth of the Mongols.

It’s okay if there are fewer people born, but as long as there are more people born, those many children will have to become monks.

Anyway, Daxing Buddhism, the monks are also valued and welcomed by the local people.

In this way, can there be more Mongols?

No more!

In addition, the Manchus were supposed to win the world immediately, and the cavalry was also their main force. Through restrictions and annexation of the Mongols, Mongolia could not cause much trouble during the more than 200 years of Manchu rule.

"What Qing said is that when I, Daqin, grow fat for a few years, I can let go and wipe out the Xiongnu."

Ying Zheng looked at Feng Zheng and asked, "However, after the Huns are eliminated, I intend to set up a few counties in the north of the Great Wall, in the land of the Huns, what do you think?"

【What?Set up counties? 】

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Feng Zheng was taken aback for a moment, 【Why set up counties?Do you want them to herd sheep, or let them farm? 】

"Your Majesty is wise, it's just..."

Feng Zheng smiled, "The place where the Huns live is the desert grassland, which is different from the Central Plains. Your majesty established counties to manage the people. However, for the people on the grassland, does your majesty want them to graze, or let them go first?" farming?"

Oh, this kid is really smart.

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard that, "What do you think?"

"Well, Your Majesty, I believe that if you want to cultivate the land next to the grassland, it is really meaningless, because it will not grow."

Feng Zheng said, "However, if it's not farming, then it's herding. But if it's herding, then you have to wander around, which is also nomadic. Then the meaning of His Majesty's establishment of the county system, isn't it..."

That's right, that doesn't make much sense...

"Well, that's what you said."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, and then asked, "Then, what do you think?"

[Thoughts, just reach out and come. 】

After hearing this, Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may be useful."

"Who? Say it!"

"promise."

Feng Zheng said, "The minister's idea is to let him graze in a limited way."

what?

Limited grazing?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "How can it be considered limited grazing?"

"Your Majesty, it is so."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "For example, after defeating the Huns, we don't necessarily need to wipe them all out, but we can continue to rule them.

We can establish a rule, that is, all herds should be nationalized.Let all the Huns herdsmen graze for the imperial court. "

Herds, nationalized?

Let herdsmen graze for the court?

hiss...

Hearing Feng Zheng's suggestion, Ying Zheng was surprised, and then asked, "What's the deep meaning?"

Chapter 307 Core Content: Divide and Transform

"Your Majesty, the profound meaning is that the common people of the Xiongnu are also the servants of the upper class nobles of the Xiongnu."

Feng Zheng smiled and said softly, "They originally only had ordinary food and clothing, and when they fought, they had to follow the charge, which was far less glorious than when they robbed us."

"Oh, what you mean is that the imperial court allowed them to graze cattle to meet their food and clothing needs, and didn't need them to fight. In this way, it can be regarded as resolving the desire of ordinary Huns to return to Qin?"

"Hey, Your Majesty is wise, that's what you mean."

Feng Zheng smiled and continued, "However, this is just one of them. To stabilize the people, we don't want them to participate in rebelling against the imperial court. However, nomads, or semi-nomadic peoples, are characterized by the prevalence of slavery.

In other words, in the eyes of nobles, ordinary herdsmen are no different from cattle and horses, or from hounds.

Therefore, the key lies in how their nobles are doing. If the nobles can submit to the Great Qin, and we give ordinary herdsmen a guarantee, then most of the disaster on the grassland can be eliminated. "

"Indeed."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded approvingly.

No matter where it is, and no matter what era it is, if the upper-class nobles do not return, obey, or obey, then that place cannot find peace.

Because in any era, the upper-class nobles of any dynasty will always be the group that controls more resources and power in society.

Although they are few in number, they do control more than half of the resources in a region, and almost control the right to speak in the entire region.

So, when it comes to either party, why do you first worship the gentry?

If you don’t settle down with the gentry, you didn’t say hello. The people below, you told him that the hype is so hype, he has no resources and rights in his hands, and he can’t be the master. He can only watch helplessly. Does it make much sense?

Instead of helping them, you are more like adding to the chaos.

Therefore, the upper nobles are a link that must be dealt with well, and it is a very critical link.

Of course, Daqin can also use thunder to eliminate all the upper-class nobles of the Xiongnu.

However, the significance of doing so is, but not great, and it may even be meaningless.

Because, the essence of the upper-class nobles is an energy that controls the lower-level buildings.

With them around, it's easier for you to control base buildings.

Without them, you have to understand and control it by yourself. You may spend more cost and energy in this process.

Sometimes, it's not worth it.

Therefore, you might as well give up part of your interests, and let some people, for this interest, come to help you complete things, help you control and tame people.

So why did Qin Shihuang not drive out all the nobles from all over the country after he unified the six countries?

That is because the Great Qin swallowed the six countries within a few years, resulting in too much internal space, and it cannot be completely digested and integrated in a short period of time.
