Chapter 720: The Golden Man and Da Shanyu(2/2)
The higher the status, the more you pay attention to a promise, otherwise you will lose your heart.
Ten thousand taels were used by Chu Tian to win over military generals in the Southern Barbarians, and he still recovered some of his capital.
Qin Liangyu brought Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan: "Your Highness Xia will deal with these two people."
Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan were pale and sweating profusely, kneeling in front of Chu Tian: "Mao Dun held us hostage and rebelled, we could not refuse..."
"In the name of the Great Shanyu, I abolished the identity of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu. From now on, the nobles of the Southern Xiongnu tribes must be appointed by the Xia Palace."
Chu Tian was actually dissatisfied with the affairs of Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan.
In fact, this is a historical issue left by the Han Empire after the Hun Empire split into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu.
The Han Empire's lack of control over the Southern Xiongnu, which left hidden dangers for the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China.
At present, the Southern Xiongnu still has its own hierarchy. Yu Fuluo was the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu. The Han Empire could intervene, but the intervention was not strong enough. Most of the Xiongnu nobles were still internal decisions of the Southern Xiongnu.
This time, thanks to the betrayal of the Southern Xiongnu, Chu Tian obtained more political capital and obtained the right to appoint and remove middle and senior executives of the Southern Xiongnu.
"The Southern Xiongnu royal court was abolished, and the Southern Xiongnu were divided into fifteen banners and lived in scattered areas. Each banner has a town and every five banners has a county. No unauthorized migration is allowed without permission. Each banner has special officials to collect taxes, raise war horses, and recruit soldiers. The officials are dispatched by the Xia Palace, accounting for at least 70%.
Chu Tian forcibly disbanded the Southern Xiongnu royal court and divided the Southern Xiongnu into three counties and fifteen banners, scattered all over the grassland, filling the population.
The farming population is not very willing to live on the grassland, and the environmental carrying capacity of the grassland is relatively weak. If it is cultivated at will, the soil fertility of the grassland will be lost quickly.
Therefore, the grasslands are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, and no one is more suitable for grazing than nomadic tribes.
The biggest threat to the nomadic tribes is their uncertain whereabouts. Chu Tian asked the Huns to live in a fixed manner and supervise them to develop animal husbandry and horse politics on the grassland.
In the future, Chu Tian needed a large number of war horses in the Western Expedition.
When the Mongols fought westward, one man and more horses were needed, Chu Tian also wanted to prepare for the future.
If a 500,000 army marched westward, with an average of four horses per man and four horses, then two million war horses would be required.
Every year, war horses will die due to diseases, wars, and cold winters. At least hundreds of thousands of war horses will be produced every year to make up for the losses.
Mongolians and the Huns all raised horses, had the life skills of raising horses, and the cost was very low, so they did not have to dispatch farmers from within the pass to raise horses outside the pass.
Even if this generation does not work, we must make sufficient preparations for the next generation of Western Expedition.
