Chapter 482 The Powerful Wang Langjun
Yuanruan couldn't help but ask the system whether the three of them were arguing.
System: [There was no quarrel. But the King of Linjiang discovered some subtle things about the King of Xiping. When he went south to train his troops, he not only quarreled with the King of Xiping, but also intercepted some of the King of Xiping's secret business. Hey, the King of Xiping was so angry that he almost vomited blood. When there is a conflict between the fathers, the relationship between the sons becomes distant. ]
Yuan Ruan was happy to hear this: [Ha! That's good! It seems that these three people can't become an iron triangle, and my brother can be more stable now.]
The emperor narrowed his eyes and his evaluation of Prince Linjiang increased by one point.
Yuan Ruan originally wanted to ask about the gossip about the conflict between these three princes.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly shouted, "I don't agree."
Yuan Ruan looked down and saw a man who had met her twice before standing up.
It was none other than Mr. Wang, a nobleman from another place who had been arrested for causing trouble in the imperial examination.
Wang Langjun stood up and retorted, "I don't agree. Although the Xiongnu are wild and difficult to tame, if they are kept within the borders, they can still be a useful sword against foreign enemies. I am not making this up, there are successful examples to refer to. For example, a hundred years ago, the emperor accepted the allegiance of a group of Xiongnu people and then ordered them to fight against the Xiongnu tribe further north. It saved a lot of trouble."
The prince of Xiping sneered, "What past examples? Isn't this the example of the previous dynasty? Ha, the previous dynasty didn't succeed either! In the end, it was still destroyed by the Xiongnu. What are you up to?"
Wang Langjun did not retreat a step, and shouted: "Don't change the concept. The previous dynasty was destroyed because treacherous ministers were in power and killed virtuous people. The Xiongnu took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to come and share a piece of the pie. I insist on recruiting some Xiongnu. Let this part of the people enjoy a peaceful life, let the other Xiongnu people be hungry and jealous, let their internal conflicts be aroused, and fight against each other, and Daxia will reap the benefits..."
Wang Langjun then went on to talk about several taming plans.
First, the recovered Xiongnu tribes must regularly send hostages to Daxia to accept Xia culture.
Second, this part of the Huns was taken in and settled inside the Great Wall as the first line of defense against foreign enemies.
Third, retain the characteristics of the Xiongnu tribe, but place Daxia officials into the Xiongnu tribe and have absolute authority to appoint tribal leaders and other officials.
…
As Yuan Ruan listened, some memories came back to her. Some of these points were very similar to Liu Xiu's policy towards the Huns.
She looked up and saw the emperor looking at Wang Langjun thoughtfully.
Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang were whispering in the back, and it was obvious that they were also touched by Wang Langjun's suggestion.
Yuan Ruan couldn't help but ask the system: [Tong'er, what is this person's strategy? ]
System: [More than 100 years later, someone proposed a similar decision and it was passed. Anyway, it has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are just as this person enjoys. The Xiongnu living inside the Great Wall have indeed become a sharp sword against the outside world. Because they live and work in peace and contentment, they have successfully attracted the envy and surrender of some northern grassland tribes. ]
The court officials' eyes lit up, thinking this was a great benefit.
The civil officials took out their small notebooks and began to record.
The system continued: [There are disadvantages. There are two aspects. On the one hand, the court only focused on the Hanization of the grassland leaders, but not the Hanization of the grassland people. At the same time, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu, the grassland tribal system was not adopted. This also led to the fact that once the Central Plains dynasty showed weakness, the grassland leaders would easily become selfish and incite the grassland people to rebel.]
Hearing this, Yuanruan nodded.
She looked at Wang Langjun and couldn't help but sigh: [It seems that this Wang Langjun is quite powerful... It's a pity that he didn't have to exclude civilian candidates at the beginning! He was imprisoned for this. ]
