Therefore, allowing able-bodied slaves to become tribesmen can also develop the tribesmen well.

After all, the same is true in the Central Plains. For example, in the development process from a "single-surname clan state" to a "multi-surname kingdom", didn't the upper rulers use various favors and punishments to incorporate the conquered countries into their own?

But it’s clear enough, what should we do with these Xianbei people and some of the nobles among them?

You know, Zhao Hongrun was in Chizhai a few days ago, but he personally said that "all Chizhai nobles will be hanged."

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Hongrun said to Nanmen Chi: "You turn around and tell those people that if they are willing to give up their former status and accept the culture and customs of our great Wei Dynasty, I can exempt them from the death penalty and accept them as our great Wei Dynasty."

The people of Wei."

Hearing this, Nanmen Chi was shocked and couldn't help but whisper: "Your Highness, these people... are of a foreign race."

He was indeed surprised, because he only asked Zhao Hongrun how to deal with those Xianbei nobles, but he did not expect that the prince in front of him would actually accept those Xianbei people.

Fortunately, he was born into a minor nobleman of the Chu State. If he met someone with narrow national ideas, he would probably try his best to stop the Crown Prince.

"That's it!" Zhao Hongrun said without refutation.

Seeing this, Nanmen Chi immediately cupped his fists and accepted the order.

On that day, Nanmen Chi asked his soldiers to interrogate the Xianbei people who had been enslaved by them, asking them whether they were willing to accept Wei's cultural customs.

When the enslaved Xianbei people heard that as long as they were willing to accept Wei's cultural customs, they would be exempted from the fate of being slaves, they readily accepted it. Almost 80% of the entire tribe, including the Xianbei nobles, were willing to accept it.

It’s no wonder, after all, the begging Xianbei are not the dominant ethnic group in the Hetao area. In their view, whether they submit to Lin Hu and the Xiongnu or to the Wei State, they are all the same. But after seeing the Wei State,

After dispatching the might of 400,000 troops, they were certainly willing to follow such a master who was more powerful than Lin Hu and the Xiongnu.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, with the mentality of "since I have done it, I will just do it big time", wrote a handwritten message to "convert the Hu Ling", and asked the Wei soldiers to deliver it to the Wei generals on the front line as soon as possible, who would then

Inform all the foreign ethnic groups in the Hetao area about this proclamation.

The central idea of ​​this memorandum is very simple. It can be said in four words: Turn Hu into Wei!

To be more specific, Zhao Hongrun allowed foreign nationalities to continue to live in the Hetao area as long as they were willing to accept and learn from the cultural customs of the Wei State, regardless of whether these foreign nationalities had a vassal attitude or simply merged into the Wei State.

, and became a Wei man from then on.

This "Humanization Order" caused an uproar in the Hetao area in just a few days. The grassland peoples and the generals of the Wei army all held various attitudes towards this.

For example, Sima An, the governor of Hexi Province, was very opposed to this "Ling of Transformation into Hu" - in fact, what he mainly opposed was the granting of Wei status to those foreign nationalities.

Are you kidding me? Those foreign men are villains who have invaded the Central Plains for a long time and persecuted the people of Wei, Han and other Central Plains countries. The Wei army spared them from death and just demoted them to slaves. This is already a great favor in Sima An's eyes.

, However, His Highness the Crown Prince actually decided to grant them the status of Wei people.

To be honest, if Sima An had not admired Zhao Hongrun so much now and had already known that His Highness was a decisive and decisive hero, otherwise, I believe he would have cursed loudly by now.

The other Wei generals also criticized this statement.

Only Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, remained silent after seeing this appeal.

Then after thinking for a while, he murmured: "Zhao Run's heart is far bigger than I imagined."

"Mindfulness?" Pang Huan interpreted the words of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo with a confused look. In his opinion, this "transformation of Hu Ling" is not a big idea. If he insists on counting, it is just "raising a tiger for trouble", "

A stupid mind like “appeasing an adulterer”.

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, glanced at Pang Huan. He did not explain. He said "heart", not "mind".

"Weak forces will accept outsiders in order to become stronger. I, the Great Wei Dynasty, is already the overlord of the Central Plains, but the prince is still accepting weak forces. Haha... Is it difficult for the "Overlord of the Central Plains" to satisfy you?

What is your heart? I, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace of the Wei Dynasty..."

Slowly walking out of the commander's tent in the military camp, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, looked in the direction of "Fushi" and thought to himself.

In fact, this is just an over-interpretation by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang. After all, when Zhao Hongrun wrote the "Huhua Order", his purpose was very pure, just to win over some ethnic groups on the grassland, whether to let these ethnic groups go to Sanchuan

The tribes in the county attached themselves to the Wei State, or merged with the Wei State, which could effectively weaken Lin Hu, thereby reducing the casualties of the Wei soldiers in a real war with Lin Hu.

As for the things that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, had over-interpreted in his mind, Zhao Hongrun really thought about it at this moment.

Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's "Huhua Order" had a great impact on the situation in the Hetao area.

I still remember that more than a month ago, when 400,000 Wei troops rushed to Shangjun like wolves and tigers, and destroyed Chidi with thunderous force, the various ethnic groups in Shangjun were greatly frightened, and they moved their tribes to the forest, preparing to defect.

The powerful Lin Hu hopes that the powerful Lin Hu can stop the Wei army from setting foot on the Hetao.

But now, the Wei State, which they thought was an "evil force", has actually sent them a signal of goodwill. This will inevitably make these foreign nations hesitate - if they have no choice, they will of course defect to Linhu and fight with the Wei State.

Seeking life; but since you have a choice, why should you be an enemy of the powerful Wei State?

As long as we learn the language of Wei and dress like Wei people, wouldn't we be able to continue to live in the Hetao area like the Sheng, Jie and Huang tribes in Sanchuan?

For a time, the leaders of the different tribes and small tribes who had already made up their mind to defect to Lin Hu began to wait and see. After all, although they would lose their current status and power by defecting to the Wei State, the leaders of these small tribes did not have much power in the first place.

, identity is not necessarily that precious, so this is an acceptable choice in their opinion.

Only powerful kings like the Xiongnu and Lin Hu would not accept Wei's "Hu Order".

Perhaps sensing the crisis, Lin Hu quickly mobilized his troops and sent troops to put pressure on the waiting tribes, forcing them to choose a camp - whether to choose Wei or Lin Hu.

Gradually, the situation in the Hetao area gradually became bipolar, and this also made the atmosphere in the Hetao area become increasingly tense. Everyone knew that an earth-shattering decisive battle was about to break out between Lin Hu and Wei State.

This war will determine who is the only king of the Hetao area!

Just as the Wei State and Lin Hu were busy preparing for this unprecedented battle, in Song County, Song Yun, the leader of the Beibo Army who had disappeared for a long time, finally arrived in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, in disguise.

"..."

Standing in front of the door of a mansion in Linzi City with a plaque that read "Zuo Xiang Zhao's Mansion", Song Yun let out a long breath.
