One Piece of Song Dynasty

After the banquet, Huzi Kun, as the representative of the Tang Dynasty, negotiated an attached agreement with the leader of the tribe. The specific treatment and related obligations included in the agreement are as follows:

1. After the Ezo indigenous tribe annexed the Tang Dynasty, if its tribe was attacked by other Ezo tribes, the Tang army would repel the invading tribe to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the tribe members.

2. The affiliated tribesmen can receive a certain amount of supplies and commodities from the Tang Dynasty every year as a show of honor and as a special courtesy for their attachment to the Tang Dynasty.

3. In the future, if the number of attached tribes increases and conflicts arise between the tribes, private fights will not be allowed. Only officials sent by the Tang Dynasty will be allowed to mediate conflicts, resolve conflicts, and punish offenders.

4. Underage children belonging to the Ezo tribe are required to come to the school in Beiting Castle to study. During their studies, they must not only learn Chinese poetry and culture, but also wear Han clothing and be familiar with Han people. Lifestyle and etiquette. All the living expenses of these children are funded by Datang, and their parents or the tribe do not need to contribute a penny.

5. When children from Ezo come to study in Beiting Castle, their parents are not allowed to stop them. If there are any opponents, the tribal leaders will punish their parents, and at the same time, the Tang Dynasty will reduce the relevant rewards given to their tribes.

6. Encourage native Ezo women to intermarry with male Han immigrants. If an indigenous Ezo woman marries a Han immigrant, her family will be rewarded by the Tang Dynasty. The tribal leader of this indigenous woman will also receive corresponding rewards. But from now on, the indigenous woman can only live with her Han husband in the Tang Dynasty and is not allowed to return to the village.

7. If tribal men are willing to give up life in the mountains and leave their original tribes, and like Han immigrants, open up wasteland and farm in the territory of the Tiger Army and pay taxes, Datang can give the Han immigrants the same treatment. They were granted land to clear up wasteland for farming, and farm tools, cattle and seeds were all free of charge. And allowed him to marry a Han woman. The original tribal leader can also receive certain rewards.

8. In order to ensure that this agreement can be implemented, Datang assigned each Ezo tribe a civil servant to be stationed in the village to supervise the implementation of the agreement, ensure that the results of the agreement are maintained, and make the relationship between Datang and the tribes There can be effective long-term communication between them.

Huzi Kun originally thought that this agreement, which concealed the huge ambitions of the Tang Dynasty, might make the leader of the Ezo tribe very resistant, but unexpectedly, after understanding the contents of the agreement, the leader immediately agreed.

This is because, in the opinion of the leader of the Ezo native people, not only can the people who are attached to the Tang Dynasty be protected, but they can also receive rewards every year. Children can also receive free education. Whether the tribal population marries out or moves out, the tribal leader can receive it. Benefits, there are so many benefits to be gained, it would be foolish not to agree. The tribal leader was overjoyed and immediately expressed his agreement.

Of course, the simple-minded indigenous leaders could not imagine the real intention behind Datang's agreement.

If this agreement is implemented throughout the Beiting Prefecture in the future, these Ezo natives who are still in their primitive state will gradually become new members of the Han nationality in just one or two generations.

In Li Xin's mind, only by naturalizing into one ethnic group can he finally avoid the occurrence of ethnic separatism, which will inevitably lead to different ethnic groups, as well as the catastrophic war in which the country will be in trouble and a certain religion will be in chaos.

In the era of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty where Li Xin lived, the national consciousness and national culture of the wild indigenous people were far from finalized. Li Xin could fully use the superiority and inclusiveness of Han culture to transform these into primitive and crude low-level things that did not even have written characters. Religious indigenous people digest and absorb it, making it truly a blood branch of the Han family.

After the agreement was signed, Liu Zhengfei led the Beiting Prefecture's forbidden troops, guided by the tribal leader, and used overwhelming force to defeat another Ezo tribe that had just occupied this tribe's stronghold, and defeated the attached tribe. , and was able to return to the original village smoothly.

After the tribe leader reoccupied the mountain stronghold, in order to express his gratitude to Hu Hukun and Liu Zhengfei, he selected the ten women he thought were the most beautiful in the tribe and gave them to the two of them as gifts of thanks.

The two of them laughed and accepted this "beauty gift", and then gave the tribe leader iron tools, sea salt and other generous gifts as a thank you. Then, they married these ten Ezo women to ten Han immigrants.

The Tang Dynasty's ethnic policy, which was both intimidating and tempting with generous profits, had a huge response among the Ezo tribes and soon achieved excellent results.

Just two months later, five more small tribes, which were deeply oppressed by the larger tribes, requested to be included. Of course, Hu Xikun readily agreed to their request.

Just as Beiting Prefecture was developing as planned, Ryukyu Prefecture in the south of Japan was also included in the rule of the Tang Dynasty. In this process, the Tang Dynasty was getting closer and closer to the first Spring Festival after its restoration. After a year of turmoil in the first year of Xingwu, the entire Tang Dynasty became more and more stable by the end of the year, especially in the northern recovered areas. Through Li Xin's high-pressure policy of suppression and appeasement, most of the banditry in the northern ruling areas had been eliminated. Li Xin believed that banditry in the north would be completely eliminated in another year.

After a year, the formation of the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty has now been fully restored. In addition to training, the Imperial Guards on the front line have also begun to use their free time to farm in accordance with Li Xin's requirements to reduce the pressure on logistics. After all, there are more than Imperial Guards. A huge amount of food is consumed every year, and being able to solve part of it through farming can save the country a lot of effort.

In the second half of the year, Tang Wan's final choice of university was the journalism major of Fujian Communication University. After Tang Wan arrived in Fuzhou to go to school, Li Qingling often went to play with Tang Wan. After half a year of getting along, the relationship between Tang Wan and Li Qingling quickly warmed up. Now the two often visit Fuzhou They were in a couple, and they often attracted the attention of passers-by. Especially a beautiful woman like Tang Wan, who was naturally very attractive. Of course, as a prince, Li Qingling was not ugly either. The two of them could be regarded as talented and beautiful.

The relationship between Tang Wan and Li Qingling is getting closer and closer, which has always been Li Xin's concern. Seeing the relationship between the two getting better and better, Li Xin decided to summon Tang Wan's father Tang Hong to Yanjing after the Chinese New Year. Decide on their marriage.

The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the final exams of the university are getting closer and closer. After the exams, the university will have a holiday.

There were only two days left before the exam. Li Qingling made an appointment with Tang Wan again, but this time Li Qingling brought someone else in addition to the escort. The cold and dampness in the south of the Yangtze River in winter is very uncomfortable, even worse than the dry cold in the north. sad.
