From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 177: The Great Environment of the Western Regions

In this era, the methods of demonizing the enemy are very crude. In addition, ordinary people basically have no concept of the country, not to mention "patriotism". Even the rich and gentry with high political consciousness have only the idea of ​​loyalty in their minds, and what they maintain is The ruling class itself, not a vain country.

   Of course, this is mainly because the gentry and wealthy are the beneficiaries of the entire ruling class, so they will spontaneously maintain.

   But when they find that the cost of maintaining this foundation is too high, it will lead to the destruction of their own family, they will shake or even change their camp!

  The richer people are, the more flexible their brains are. As long as they are not driven to a dead end, they will leave a way for themselves in advance.

  Of course, those who are in high positions are not as easy as the people below to change camps when enjoying the scenery at a high place because they stand too high. In the end, they can only choose to live and die with their camp class!

Therefore, the impact of ugliness on the enemy in this era is far less serious than after the awakening of the national consciousness of later generations. The ordinary people are at best afraid rather than desperate. Most of the gentry and wealthy will not stubbornly resist the invincible enemy unless the enemy is dispatched. Their fundamental interests!

   For example, the peasant uprising likes to chant the slogan "Jun Tian".

   As long as someone dares to slogan Juntian, while regaining the hearts of the poor, it is equivalent to offending the most powerful local gentry of this era.

  The local gentry class are all rich and human local snakes. If they fight desperately, it is the basic operation of the whole country to become a piece of nothing!

   This is the fundamental reason why peasant uprisings have always caused terrible losses to localities!

On the contrary, it is the struggle between high-level powers and gains, which has little impact on local losses, because the high-levels know to protect and support their own gentry class, and they dare not shout slogans similar to'equalize the land and exempt the rich', which will not cause large-scale local powers. Opposition, naturally will not ignite war on every inch of land.

  In this era when the national consciousness is not awakened, the gentry class, that is, the intellectuals, is the level that really needs to be comforted, because they control the trend of public opinion and a lot of land!

   And in this era, land is directly linked to population and financial resources!

  The gentry class are big landlords. Some of their land is tenant households, and the family also has a large number of young people such as handyman nursing homes, plus the gold and silver accumulated in the past. It is really not too simple to pull up a team...

  Although this kind of local civilians has a lot of moisture, the combined strength of the entire gentry class is enough to form a sea of ​​people!

   can even determine the fate of the country!

   The power of the local gentry in the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly more powerful than in the history of the earth, because of the existence of green skins, they generally control one or several family members who are similar to mercenaries.

   In peacetime, these houses are guarded by guards, and during war, they are a powerful iron fist to encircle the sacred and inviolable private property of the local gentry class!

   This is the reason why the Western Regions have been fighting continuously, and the local gentry class has not been affected much. Only a few large families who are powerful and want to fight for power and gain a piece of the world are involved!

The local gentry class has not been affected much, indicating that the local production order has not been completely destroyed. This allows Richard to restore the production order before the war in a short period of time. What Richard needs to do It's just a change of bureaucrats who are loyal to them to take over the power gap left by the original government.

By the same token, the Tufan Expeditionary Army did not dare to cause a large-scale rebellion by the Han gentry in the Western Regions, at least until all opponents were resolved. In this regard, Songtsen Gambo and Richard's political ideas are the same, which is also the most important thing. Suitable for management in the Western Regions.

There are too many Semu people in the Western Regions, which leads to the local Han gentry class in order to protect their own property and class. Generally, the gentry class of the local Han people has more power than the native gentry class in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. Either side with the Tufan Expeditionary Force must be tyrannical!

   If there is no clear opponent, whoever dares to move the interests of the local Han gentry will die without a place to bury it!

   Fortunately, the local Han gentry class has never been a unified organization, and even the Han gentry class will take the initiative to move closer to the government and the ruling class, forming a common phenomenon of collusion between officials and gentry and government and business throughout the ages.

Originally, Richard, who started out of a rash, was wary of the local Han gentry class. However, after the rise of Richard Richard’s policy, the Semu people became serfs, and the Han gentry class became the beneficiaries, and Richard naturally got rid of the local gentry brought about by his low birth. Class hostility.

   At this time, in the Western Regions, whether it was Richard, the opposite Tufan Expeditionary Army and the place controlled by the two big families, a similar situation appeared.

   The military aspect is completely controlled by the heads of various forces, and the local gentry class can't get in at all, or they dare not get in!

   But the administrative aspect was infiltrated by the local gentry class, because most of the local grassroots officials came from the Han gentry family!

This phenomenon cannot be changed ~www.wuxiahere.com~ because the gentry of the Han Chinese have mastered the'intellectual property' in the Western Regions, and every family has read books, and often goes to school, and the children of the poor do not mention the issue of talent. , How can I have time to study at ease all day long to eat my stomach?

   What's more, in the Western Regions, the common people of Semu are strictly prohibited from reading, and can only get the right to enlighten and read characters at most, and the common people of Han people basically have to perform military service, unless there is a way at home, that is, the family of Han people...

   This makes the government and civil service in the Western Regions almost firmly controlled by the local gentry class. Only in the army with a higher mortality rate can there be a large number of grassroots rising children.

   This is why Richard has much more control over the army than the government.

   The danger of the army is a high threshold to prevent the children of Han Chinese gentry from entering. Whoever has a wealth of wealth is unwilling to venture into the army easily. After all, it is a war period!

   However, this situation is also beneficial to Richard. As long as he defeats the force of the Tufan Expeditionary Army and the two major warlord families, he can basically accept their territory.

   Those civilian officials from local gentry families, as long as they have a normal mind, will never die with the victor. Anyone who comes can be a landlord with peace of mind. Richard has already shown his sincerity and generosity.

   Therefore, the demonization of the two sides is at most disgusting the opponents by the people, but in fact it does not threaten the enemy at all.

After    was repeatedly rejected by Richard, Songtsen Gampo finally gave up the way to peace talks.
