Chapter 596

The Zhang family made some contributions to China. After Sima royal family took the lead in fleeing to the south of the Yangtze River, they always tried their best to resist the Hu people. Until Zhang Chonghua succeeded to the throne, they respected the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as the new moon.

Respecting the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as zhengshuo is indeed a contribution. No matter what the Zhang family does secretly, they still belong to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is to recognize the "great unification" thought of the same ethnic group. It is precisely because of the "great unification" thought that the Chinese people can maintain unity and continue to pass on.

There are quite a number of nationalities on the earth, which can be traced back to the history. As mentioned above, by 7000 BC, a large number of nationalities had been brilliant for a time, but these nationalities soon disappeared in the long river of time. Even if there are descendants left, those descendants will no longer think that they are the follow-up of someone, and will be exposed to a new culture and become a new nation.

The Yanhuang people began to fight and grow from the source of the Yellow River. After the Xia and Shang Dynasties, they continued to compete for living space with Rong, Di, Yi, man and Yue, so they had the basic plate of Ji Zhou.

In one generation, the royal family with the surname Ji enfeoffed ministers in order to let those ministers defend the royal family. The situation of those ministers who were enfeoffed at that time was actually extremely bad. They not only had to withstand the attacks and levies of different races, but also faced extremely bad environment. The Zhou family with the surname Ji was enfeoffed for three thousand years. Most of the enfeoffors were those princes who perished in the hands of different nationalities and could persist and develop. They became the states in the early spring and Autumn period after the Zhou family moved eastward.

No matter what kind of idea they had at the beginning, the great enfeoffment really achieved one thing, that is, they won more living space for the ethnic group.

The enfeoffment of princes expanded the living space of the same Miao people, but it would be hard to say what it would be like without Qin sweeping the Six Harmonies and eight wastelands. After all, after hundreds of years, people in different countries, such as Qin people, Zhao people, Yan people, Han people, Chu people, and so on, have their own claims. If Qin had not ruled the world, after a longer period of independence, it can be imagined that even if there was a same ancestor, it would certainly become different nationalities.

Qin made great contributions to the unification of the world. The subsequent car tracks, books and weights and measures created the foundation for national kneading. Without these, I don't know if there is any Chinese nation?

Qin's contribution is indelible. It is the Han Empire that gives the Chinese Miao people a sense of pride.

It was the military strength of the Han Empire that added a tonic to the nation. With the continuous war to break the prosperity of the nation and the fallen nation, the rest of the nation began to have the title of "Han people", waiting for the flag of Chen Tangyi and the head of the Zhizhi branch. The sentence "if a strong man is far away, he will be killed" supported the backbone of the Han people. Even if he dies in the Han Dynasty, he will still fight against the alien race, Only then did "the country was destroyed by weakness, and the Han Dynasty was destroyed by strength" spread to later generations.

What great influence did the great achievements of the Han Empire have? The Sima royal family was incompetent and lost the Central Plains. In order to obtain support, Liu Yuan, a Hun, could only shout that he had Han blood and created a notorious "imperial Han".

The first name that many foreign nations thought of when they established a country was "Han". As a result, there were Liu Yuanhan, Li Shoucheng, Liu Zhiyuan, Liu chongbei and Liu Yinnan. There are so many countries that have really become powerful and established a country side by side. There are more people who have taken a name but failed to establish a country. The king of the Han Dynasty is also a top Baron in all dynasties.

The military prosperity of the western and Eastern Han Dynasties really had unimaginable influence. Until Yang Jian replaced Zhou, the slogan was to restore the dignity of Han men and build the brilliance of strong men. It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Jian has been restoring the status of Han people all his life. He is also the founder of the imperial examination. Although the Sui Dynasty was short, its contribution to ethnic groups was not low at all. Even after 2000, it was still enjoying its sprouting.

Liu Yan's vision of seeing things is different from that of many people today. He has a clear national concept and knows how big the world is. Of course, he has the intention to build an immortal Empire, but his focus is to let the Han and Miao people have more living space. It's best to have Han people everywhere on the earth.

What he thinks about is different. He has a broader vision. In fact, when facing the enemy of the same ethnic group, Liu Yan will take more gentle measures. In particular, he feels that the enemy has contributed to the ethnic group and is less cruel to kill all.

For Liu Yan, the world is really big. It's so big that even if the same family as the enemy doesn't need to be completely destroyed, it's OK to drive them to a certain place. He even hopes that those driven away can stand a firm foothold. Even if they have been the enemy all the time, it's better than some foreign families to occupy those places.

Liu Yanjian believes that even if his generation connives at the same family as the enemy, the next generation will inevitably "take back" those wandering "by all means. Besides, he sometimes indulges deliberately. When it's time to close the network, he will not hesitate. Maybe he doesn't have to wait for the next generation to do it.

On whether to accept Zhang Zuo, the ministers who accompanied Liu Yan on the expedition expressed their opinions in words one after another. I don't know if they have had private communication, but they have no objections. They just have different opinions on how to accept it and what treatment should be given after acceptance. There are some details.

Zhang Zuo is not king Liang now. He falsely passes on Zhang Chonghua's imperial edict to call himself a great general. He has no place to surrender on behalf of Zhang's Liang country. What he can represent is himself. He may also take those counties that are willing to obey.

Zhang Chonghua, the rightful Liang king of the Liang state of Zhang, was imprisoned in Xiang state, just like the heads of the defeated and captured countries and forces.

After Zhang Chonghua failed to fast, he began Non Violence and non resistance. He has always adopted a non cooperative attitude. Among all the captured leaders, he is more backbone.

The so-called hero of the other country and the enemy of mine. It's a good thing if you have backbone, but the enemy with backbone will appear annoying. What the Han country wants is a Xiliang that has not been destroyed on a large scale, and it doesn't want to kill too many people in the process of destroying Zhang's cool country. Therefore, Zhang Chonghua's non cooperation is really an obstacle.

The current population of Han should be more than 20 million? Until five years before Yuanshuo, the population counted was more than 9 million. The large gap between men and women is shown in the scope of statistics, including Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, most of Sizhou, most of Jizhou and parts of Guanzhong. The States and counties originally under the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, under the rule of Li's Cheng Han Dynasty and those newly occupied soon are not included.

Due to the lack of official relations and the fact that the population is very serious, it is not easy to register registered residence.

Murong Yanguo conducted a census in 342 A.D., and it took only one year to make reliable statistics. At that time, the data obtained was 370000 households, which was 1.85 million according to five people in a household. The reason why it is easy for them to count the population is that they have the foundation of compiling households before. In addition, it is also related to the military law of recruiting in wartime. (when Qian Yan went south to attack ran Wei, he drew a small army from a family, with a total force of nearly 400000)

Countries such as Shijie Zhao, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Li Chenghan, Tuoba Dai, Zhang Liangguo... Can't count the population at all. In addition to the incompetence of officials, the concealment of local powerful population is one of the obstacles.

Of course, the Hu regime generally does not recruit Han soldiers, and even the Han people are only used as civilian husbands. This habit was not broken until the Northern Wei Dynasty. That's because a large number of young and strong Hu people were consumed in the war every year. The Hu regime really can't draw more young and strong Hu people as soldiers. It can only turn its eyes to the young and strong Han people. Otherwise, there is a clear division of labor. The Hu people are responsible for war and the Han people are responsible for production.

It must be said that after the Hu people took the initiative to break the boundary between the war class and the production class, the so-called military generals family appeared. By the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the military generals family developed to a stage that was enough to affect the national reform. For example, Yang Jian of Dai Zhou was one of the "pillar states", and the so-called "pillar state" was actually a military generals family.

In the Han Dynasty, a large number of demobilized personnel went to the local level as grass-roots officials, and the matter of population statistics was handled by them. In the past few years, the reason why the Han country continued to eliminate local giants and powers was not willing to be ruled by the Han country, but more unwilling to hand over the occupied land and the population under control.

The clean-up of the powerful has been done since the founding of Liu Yan. After the formal elimination of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the local resistance gradually decreased. By the five-year period of Yuanshuo, there were not many who dared to resist, which also accelerated the speed of population statistics.

"Eighteen million, no more." Ji Chang went to Liu Yan today to talk about the census data gradually collected by various states and counties: "the population of those places in Si Zhou, together with Bingzhou and Shuozhou, has withered. Even if it is to check the remaining relics and make up the loopholes, it will be up to 400000, up to 500000 in Shu and Ba, and no more than 8 million in the south of the Yangtze River."

Eighteen million people are not all Han and Miao people, at least five or six million are people who have changed their ancestors... Or those of mixed race, that is, they were originally Hu people. After the establishment of the Han state, some of them had already completed their own sinicization, and they were more afraid of being slaughtered. They said they were Han people, but the Han state did not investigate at all. As long as they were willing to change their living habits If you speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, you can be a Han except Jie people.

Liu Yanmo vaguely remembers some data

The total population at the end of the state of Zhao in Shijie should be about 10 million. This can be seen from the fact that Shi Hu always recruits millions of troops. It depends on how many households there are. Basically, a family has to be a soldier or a civilian husband. The so-called million army includes even civilian husbands.

Among the 10 million people under Shi Jie's rule, the Han people are estimated to be three or four million. The Jie people will not survive more than one million. On the contrary, the Qiang and Di people together will exceed four million, and the rest are miscellaneous Hu. During the war, the number of these 10 million people dropped sharply, and genocide broke out. More than one million Han people died in the genocide alone, and the rest of the ethnic groups also suffered heavy losses.

Li Chenghan did not conduct a census. During Li Shou's reign, the largest conscription of troops was to produce 130000 troops. It still adopts the popular calculation method of one household, and then takes into account the situation that there may be a father, son, brother and brother as soldiers, that is, about one million people in the country.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty's long term army is about two hundred thousand, which means that there are about two hundred thousand households in the official register. However, there are many trilogy or private soldiers in every family. It is evident that a considerable number of the population is not on the registered residence of the state, but is a servant or private slave of the family.

"In the south, we have cleaned up many powerful and powerful people. There are 270000 people who have a record of merit at the head level. This does not count Zhuman and ZhuYue." Ji Chang frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "it's not that the general's killing is wrong, it's the way of killing is wrong."

Liu Yan is not a native of this era. He can't understand why so many people are willing to die with the aristocratic family. When he hears that people related to the strong and powerful have cut 270000, he can't help but frown.

Each regime is divided into periods. Liu Yan only slightly remembers that there were more than 17 million people in the heyday of the small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As for the current number, I really don't know.

In fact, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty conducted a census in the years after Yongjia, and the population data was 10.5 million. Strangely, it dropped sharply to less than 4 million in the next few decades. The reason why the population is less than half, think about the family's means to hide the population.

"If you attack and destroy Murong Xianbei..." Liu Yan showed a eager expression: "how many more people can you add to the Han?"

Ji Chang estimated that he knew Liu Yan would ask and quickly gave the answer: "depending on the severity of the war, if we can attack and destroy it quickly, we should have a population of more than 1.5 million."

"That's not 20 million." Liu Yan pondered and even pulled his finger. He was not afraid that Ji Chang would leak the secret. He whispered to himself: "even if there are 20 million people, there are less than 10 million who really belong to the Han and Miao people, and the rest are Xibei goods... It will take some years for them to become a Han completely..."

Ji Chang felt that Liu Yan was possessed by the devil and advised him bluntly: "as long as you accept the rule of the Great Han and are willing to fight for the king, they are the Han people."

Liu Yan looked at Ji Chang and looked at him for a while with an expression of "expression you don't understand", Cai said, "even in that case, 20 million people are not enough. I am very distressed now. The soldiers are sharp enough and have enough strength to open up larger territory, but I am deeply afraid that the territory won't be used by the people. The Great Han needs to be increased to at least 10000 people within 20 years. The prime minister's primary task in the future is to find ways to increase the population of the Great Han!"

Ji Chang immediately looked silly. He has been studying hard in recent years. The most populous of the previous dynasties was the Eastern Han Dynasty. The problem is that it took about 200 years for the Eastern Han Dynasty to have 65 million people. Liu Yan even wants to increase to 100 million within 20 years. Even if school-age couples play with their lives, can the state bear a series of ancillary effects?!
