Chapter 565: 268: Assimilation Conscription



In hindsight, this was merely a well-worn tactic.

When he had first started, during the suppression of the Seven Stars Sect Rebellion, he had used surrendered rebels to attack the city.

At that time, he saved a large amount of his own troops’ lives while solving the issue of local security threats by consuming those surrendered soldiers.

So later, during the pacification of the Miao people, Lu Yuan continued to apply and enhance this strategy.

According to incomplete statistics, during the pacification of the Miao people, over 40,000 Miao soldiers contributed greatly to the suppression of the Five Poisons Sect Rebellion with their lives.

Later, during the Northern Expedition, a similar situation played out in Xichuan County.

Tens of thousands of Xichuan County’s village braves and the righteous army made significant contributions, helping Lu Yuan ambush and defeat the Zhou and Qiang United Army from behind.

Through the use of dependent armies, vassal armies, and surrendered soldiers, Lu Yuan saved countless lives and gained tremendous benefits.

“Since these tribes differ from us in blood, culture, beliefs, and customs, trying to assimilate them, or even achieving basic stability, will take at least several decades.”

But while problems cannot be solved, their creators can be.

Just as before with the Miao people in Dongting County, simply gather all the able-bodied men of these tribes and force them to fight to the death with their own people on the front line battlefield.

Consume the power of these tribesmen through ruthless wars.

Once these adult men are all dead, only the elderly, women, and children will remain.

At that time, after capturing their territory, a new county can be established, requiring 30,000 county soldiers to maintain stability.

At that time, pack them all together, distribute them to the soldiers of the region, and assimilate households.

Then, recruit some jobless bachelors from inside the country, using the temptation of dividing land and families as a way to solve the remaining tribe people.

All this added up would assimilate about 300,000 to 400,000 tribal people without any major issues.

Furthermore, according to the current societal structure, after one or two generations, these tribal people and their descendants would become Chu people.

In addition to the 200,000 people who were annexed from Su Country, with nearly 500,000 to 600,000 people, the newly opened area should remain stable.

As for the remaining tribal people, no more than a few hundred thousand would remain, and they would be powerless against the tide of change.

Simply arrange for the local soldiers to continue mopping up, gathering, and redistributing people and resources to the new immigrants, and the area would stabilize after twenty to thirty years.

Kill their fathers and brothers, seize their wives and daughters, and occupy their land – these are the three strategies Lu Yuan designed for the assimilation of the western tribes.

Although cruel in appearance, the measures are even more cruel in practice.

But such are the realities of racial wars and clashes of civilization.

Racial integration essentially means killing other people’s husbands and fathers, forcibly taking their wives and daughters, and producing a new generation to merge into one’s own race.

From ancient times to today, nothing has changed.

Yet it has to be said that this method is extremely effective.

A specific example: just look at the Miao people in Dongting County.

After the suppression of the southern three prefectures and Wuling Prefecture, Lu Yuan distributed nearly 100,000 Miao people’s wives and families to the place and incorporated them as equal citizens.

With the birth of new generations, they grow and multiply, accepting the culture of the Eastern Yang people.

Now, less than a decade has passed, and the original traces of Miao people have faded by more than half.

Even the women and children who had originally come into contact with Miao culture have gradually begun to change and accept the transformation to Chu people, which is to say, Eastern Yang people.

It is foreseeable that as these newborns grow up and further reproduce, together with increased exchanges with the outside world, the mark of their Miao heritage will fade away, completely disappearing and becoming the purest Chu people.

The huge success of this policy has led to now, in Dongting territory, there being less than 100,000 pure Miao people left.

Even these remaining Miao, influenced by the profound changes taking place in the world, are gradually intermarrying with the Chu people, slowly changing their culture and traces of their identity.

What more can be said about this?

Isn’t the girl who once embodied the Miao people’s supreme belief now married to the King of Chu and even had two children with him?

With the high-level such examples, the lower-level people are learning and emulating one by one.

Regarding this scene, many conservative Miao people are anxious.

However, when they turn to Sect Leader Lan Zhaoyun for help in addressing the situation, they are met with silence and no guidance.

In such a situation, a lack of response is the greatest support.

Does the Sect Leader acquiesce to these changes within the tribes?

Fine.

Actually, after Lan Cai’er gave birth to two sons in succession, especially after receiving news that the eldest son, Lu He, would receive innate training with the possibility of breaking through innate by the age of 20, the others slowly adjusted their attitudes as well.
