Chapter 1863 There is a way to integrate the Qiang people
The northern Qiang people who followed Cao Shuo brought all their tribe members to Tongguan.
Many Qiang warriors have several children and several women.
There were nearly one million Qiang people in the northern part of Tongguan.
Cao Shu never expected so many people to come, and he did not expect that the tribes of the Qiang people in the north would be so prosperous.
There are millions of Qiang people living in the north.
There is no way to know how many people of other ethnic groups live on the border of the Central Plains.
After years of war, the Central Plains suffered a lot of population loss. When the world is pacified, once the alien race attacks it, it will be difficult for even Cao Shu to control the current situation.
The Qiang people came in a large number of millions, and the population of Cao Shu belonged to was only three or four times that of theirs, including the young children born in recent years.
Leading a huge team to leave Tongguan, Cao Shu would look back from time to time.
There are too many Qiang people, so he is really in a difficult situation as to how to place them.
"Young Master." I found that Cao Shu looked a little strange, Sima Yi came up to him and asked in a low voice: "Are you worried that there are too many Qiang people, and you are afraid that they will cause trouble when they arrive at the place?"
"It's still Zhongda understands me." Cao Shu nodded: "I'm just worried."
"Actually, there is no need." Sima Yi smiled slightly and asked Cao Shu in a low voice: "Young Master is planning to expand the army?"
"I do have this idea." As if I understood something, Cao Shu asked, "Did you have a solution?"
"Of course there is a way," Sima Yi said: "The young master simply wants to integrate the Qiang people and make them become people in the Central Plains in the future."
"That's exactly what it means." Cao Shuo said: "The population of the Central Plains is consumed a lot, and foreign races need to be supplemented by them and merged with the Central Plains people to restore their past prosperity. But too many Qiang people will cause chaos in the blood of the Central Plains people..."
"Young master, don't worry, you won't mess up the bloodlines of the Central Plains." Sima Yi said: "When you arrive, the young master ordered the officials to distribute land and houses to the Qiang people, and transferred the elite to the army. Each of the Qiang men left behind can only marry a Qiang woman."
Cao Shu didn't interrupt him, but just listened silently.
"The Qiang people in the local area only marry a wife, and the children they have to have will be limited. The Qiang people transferred to the army who are strong in the army can only marry women in the Central Plains." Sima Yi said: "In this way, the Qiang people are slow to raise in the local area, and most of the women are married to people in the Central Plains. Although the Qiang people in the army can marry many wives and concubines, they can only be women in the Central Plains. In this way, the Qiang people are the Qiang people who are disrupted from their blood. In less than ten years, the Qiang people will not have the current prosperity, and the population of the Central Plains will definitely increase a lot."
"This method is good." Cao Shuo said: "But will the Qiang people agree? Each Qiang people only allow one Qiang woman to marry. Wouldn't they ask me for an explanation?"
"The young master was transferred to the army by the young master, and there were also the benefits of marrying several women in the Central Plains." Sima Yi asked: "I got the benefits myself. Do they still have the intention to oppose the young master for the sake of others?"
Looking at Sima Yi, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shu's mouth.
He patted his arm gently and Cao Shuo said, "You have a lot of ideas. First, differentiate the power of the Qiang people and take away the strength. Even if the Qiang people in the local area are dissatisfied with us, they will not cause any storm."
"Young master is smart, you can see through my plans at a glance." Sima Yi replied.
"The skill of flattery is also becoming more and more proficient in the more you practice." Cao Shu smiled and said, "You have already said so clearly. If I can't see through it, wouldn't it be extremely stupid?"
Sima Yi smiled and said nothing more.
Cao Shu did not choose to return to Shouchun immediately. He deliberately circled around, first from Youzhou to the east, and then to the south. Every time he went to a place, he would order some Qiang people to be left behind.
While leaving the Qiang people, he would also call local officials to the commander's tent and tell him how to resettle them.
He will not lead the army forward until the local officials fully understand his intentions.
As Cao Shuo walked more and more places, more and more Qiang people were left behind.
Following his instructions, the Qiang people were first broken up between the tribes, and then assigned to each village.
People from not a tribe gathered together and had no control over each other, let alone any changes in the future, they would become a force to fight against the people of the Central Plains together.
Because it was a detour and the journey was long, Cao Shu walked for seven or eight months before he arrived at the border between Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
I looked back and saw that there were not many Qiang tribes following behind the team.
With more than 100,000 Qiang warriors, Cao Shu actually selected 60,000 to 70,000 strong.
However, the strong people he selected in Huainan and other places were only more than 50,000.
The joining of the Qiang people suddenly increased his standing army to more than 100,000.
With such a strong army, Cao Shu has more confidence in unifying the world in the future.
When entering Xuzhou, some Qiang people will be separated every time they walk.
After heading south to Pengcheng, Cao Shu ordered the soldiers to enter the city to rest.
Pengcheng was once slaughtered by Cao Cao.
There are not many indigenous people anymore, and most of the residents in the city are Cao Shuo moved from other places.
Cao Shu led his army into the city, and the people welcomed him along the way.
Looking at the Qiang people following the team, many people were very curious.
The Qiang people and the Central Plains people have little difference in appearance, but their clothes are very different from those of the Central Plains people.
What the people are curious about is the Qiang costumes that look very strange.
After entering the city, Cao Shuo led a group of staff and the general walked towards the government.
Before leaving, he ordered Zhao Yun, who was ordered to lead the soldiers to the military camp: "When the military camp, Zilong had to rub the Qiang people together with our soldiers, mixed with the dispatched barracks. It is best not to give the Qiang people a chance to gather, and also remind the soldiers not to violate their habits, so as not to conflict."
Although most of the Qiang people were allocated along the way, the number of Qiang people in the army is still far more than that of the soldiers in the Central Plains.
Of course, Zhao Yun understood why Cao Shu issued such an order.
He clasped his fists and responded, and he waved to the army: "Soldiers, come with me!"
A huge army followed Zhao Yun and headed towards the barracks.
Cao Shu led his small-sized general to the government.
Pengcheng is a big city. When the Chu-Han dispute was fought, Xiang Yu once designated this place as the capital.
If Cao Cao had not launched a massacre at the instigation of Liu Bei, the city would have been even more prosperous and noisy than other parts of Xuzhou.
When he arrived outside the government gate, Cao Shu turned over and dismounted.
The guard stepped forward and held the horse.
He ordered to his staff and generals: "Don't go back and rest first, go to the chamber, I have something to discuss with you."
I was rushing on the road for many days, and everyone was indeed tired.
