Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 357 Slightly moved

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't expect that they would have this understanding, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Realistically, what they said was correct.

   But the reality does not mean that it is right. The founding emperor of Han Zhao, Liu Yuan, obviously realized this, so he hoped that the Huns and the Han people could be as close as one family.

   Although Liu Yuan was a Xiongnu, he had accepted Han culture since he was a child. When he was young, he lived in Luoyang as a hostage.

   Zhao Hanzhang believes that he set the country name as Han not only because he considered himself a descendant of the Han family and inheriting the rule of Shu Han was justifiable (although it was an excuse), but also because of the education he received since he was a child.

   Now that he has just founded the country, what he admires is that the Han ruled Hu.

   Even though he launched a war to attack Luoyang for two consecutive years, in fact, he has been restraining the army under his rule, hoping that they will not offend the people, and once they win the hearts of the people, they will achieve the goal of "calling Han to be respected by others".

   He wanted to put himself in the same position as Jin to replace the old with the new. If one dynasty wants to replace another, it must break down its capital and destroy its subjugated country.

   Liu Yuan never wanted to establish a Xiongnu Khanate, he wanted to replace Jin and unify the entire Kyushu.

At present, the contradiction between the Huns and ordinary Han people is not irreconcilable. Liu Yuan also tended to be moderate in his rule of the Han people at the beginning, but his people were disobedient one by one. The characteristics of the nomadic people, they robbed after seizing territory. They are more accustomed to managing people as slaves when they plunder property.

   Even a Han general like Wang Mi would not hesitate to kill Han Chinese, let alone loot property and people.

   In a few more years, they will kill more people, and the conflict between the Han and the Huns will no longer be reconciled. At this time, he will give up the use of the Han to rule the Hu, and then implement the "Separation of the Hu and the Han".

   divides people into rank, the Huns are the first, above all ethnic groups, the Han people seem to be the lowest, but in fact the most oppressed, the most despised is the Jiehu.

   Otherwise, Jiehu would not have built his own regime in order to oppose the Huns.

   Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought, now that there is already such a trend in the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms, it seems that even if he proclaimed emperor a year earlier, Liu Yuan still could not control the situation.

   She cocked the corners of her mouth, Jiehu has always been a slave of the Huns, the Han people are miserable, and their treatment is actually worse than that of the Han people.

   The Huns looked down on the Han people, but they would learn the culture of the Han people, knowing the goodness of the Han culture in their hearts, which is an attitude of both inferiority and contempt for the Han people;

   For Jiehu, he is proud and despised from the bottom of his heart.

   But is Jiehu worse than the Huns?

   There is no ethnic group worse than any other ethnic group. They all have their own ethnic characteristics in their blood. Will Jiehu always bow his head and recognize the slaughter?

   It’s just that the time has not come.

  Zhao Hanzhang pondered with his eyes down, his heart turned back and forth, and he soon made up his mind, and asked: "Li Shiwu Fort has already raised food and grass for you, why do you want to kill them all?"

  Cheng Da said: "I can't wait to follow orders."

   He said: "The general asked us to raise food and grass, and we raised food and grass. He asked us to arrest the people, destroy the fort, and loot the property, so we can only listen."

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't know how much he believed and asked, "Where are the looted property?"

  Cheng Da pointed to the middle tent. It was the tent from which the main general ran out just now. The contents in there were already scraped by Zhao Hanzhang. She looked back, "Is it gone?"

  Cheng Da shook his head, "The people here are very poor, and there is still some money in Li Shiwu Fort, but not much, and all that can be robbed."

   Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Is there any population in the family?"

  Cheng Da was startled and asked Zhao Hanzhang, "Do you Han people still want to go to our country to arrest our relatives? This is a war, and it shouldn't affect the family."

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed deeply: "In this war, I am just a soldier who was innocently involved. Although you killed my Han people, I am willing to give you a chance to live."

  Cheng Da was not moved, and responded calmly.

   He and his companions have experienced a lot of things like this. He surrendered and was a prisoner. If Zhao Hanzhang thought they were burdensome, it was normal to kill them;

   If you think they can be used, it is only a matter of changing from slaves of Xiongnu to slaves of Han people.

He and his companions changed owners several times. When the general lost, they followed the new general. The new general looked down on them, or killed them or drove them to the front as human shields. It's normal for people around you to die one by one.

   They never had a chance to choose.

   So Zhao Hanzhang meant that he didn't kill them, but wanted to keep them as slaves?

   was already numb, thinking that it would be a day to live another day, Cheng Da thanked hesitantly, "Thank you General."

   But he still had doubts in his heart. He didn’t understand how this had anything to do with his family?

   But he still replied: "And my mother and younger brother. I haven't come home for many years. I don't know if they are dead or not."

   So if you have the ability, go to Han and arrest people, so that he can know if they are still alive.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Can you farm?"

   Cheng Da blinked, even more puzzled, Wei You, who was beside him, had already taken the lead: "Yes! I can grow wheat and beans!"

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled at them and said, "Then you can stay and serve as soldiers for me. Then I will divide you a few plots of land, and when there is no war, you will cultivate it. When you have money, you can bring your family over."

  Cheng Da looked at Zhao Hanzhang blankly, and quickly asked, "Dividing our land? Are we farming for the general, or..."

   "Just like the soldiers under my rule, you are soldiers, you don't have to pay taxes, and all the fields are your private property."

   "Can we have private property?"

  The body and mind of slaves belong to their masters. Even if they have property now, when the master needs them, they can become without them.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Of course, if you have it, even me, I can't take your property unreasonably."

   The five were silent, wondering whether they should believe Zhao Hanzhang.

   But what is the difference between believing or not? After all, they are all prisoners now.

But there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and their hearts were warmed. Zhao Hanzhang asked more questions, and they cooperated more, for example, "Qiao Xi is cruel, the reason why we suddenly let us plunder the Han people is because I heard that Wang Mi took advantage of the gathering of food and grass. He was jealous after looting a lot of property, so let us loot the Han people and hand over all the looted property to him.”

   added, "Qiao Xi couldn't take Guancheng for a long time. He was afraid that the emperor would blame him. He was planning to dig the Dongfeng Canal and flooded Guancheng with water."

   Zhao Hanzhang had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard this, leaned forward slightly, and looked at them seriously, "Are you going to dig?"

   "It's not easy to dig," Wei You said, "We were ordered to dig a little bit. Now that winter is approaching, and the river is low, it's hard to drown the entire Guancheng, but the fertile fields below should be washed away."

   I forgot what I was going to say to you, but I always felt that I had something to say to you last night, but I didn’t write it down at the time, and I forgot it after a night.

   Alas, I can only see when I remember it later

See you tomorrow
