Chapter 784: Hierarchy System


After the conditions were laid, Tuoba Ying knew that it was time for Ma Chao to express his request.

There is no such thing as a free pie in the world, and with the Ma family offering such favorable conditions, Tuoba Ying knew that Ma Chao would definitely have a huge appetite.

In fact, he had vaguely guessed that what Ma Chao needed was a grassland neighbor who would never threaten and submit to the Han Dynasty.

However, such an appetite is too great: dozens of emperors in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties wanted to eliminate border troubles that could not be pacified for hundreds of years in Ma Chao's generation.

Is this possible?

Sure enough, after hearing Tuoba Ying's question, Ma Chao's eyes turned cold for a moment, and there was unquestionable firmness in his tone: "I want you to complete the entire grassland in your lifetime, and there will never be any border invasion."

"General Tian, ​​if you say that the entire Tuoba tribe will never betray the Ma family in the future, I can guarantee that I can do it.

After all, the rise of the Tuoba tribe depends on the Ma family for everything, and it will definitely not be ruined in the future.

It can be said that to the whole prairie” Seeing that Tuoba Ying was breathing heavily due to hesitation, Ma Chao did not say anything, but his eyes fell on the horizon in the distance with a calm expression, as if he saw a herd of beasts wandering there, turning the sky The blue is separated from the green of the earth: "Then you conquer the entire grassland.

That's it, it's not a big deal."

Hearing this, Xi Tuo Ba Ying couldn't help but take a breath of air.

He looked at Ma Chao's serious and calm face, and vaguely heard the fantasy "I know this sounds incredible.

But as long as you are willing to use my method, I guarantee that the grassland you can see in the future will be your property.

You are the sun that never sets on this grassland.

Even if you die, your descendants will stand at the top of this grassland and enjoy the gaze of the grassland people."

Ma Chao stood up, thinking about the poisonous plan he had discussed with the foxes before setting off, and his expression gradually turned ferocious.

At the same time, the blood in his heart also burned brightly.

The whole aura that drives him is indescribably oppressive and convincing.

"What's yours is wool and the Ma family's products.

Your method is to go to any lengths to devour all the tribes on the grassland.

But, remember, there must be a prerequisite before doing all this."

"What is it?"

Tuoba Ying couldn't help but swallowed.

He unnaturally picked up another glass of wine, but looked at Ma Chao who was like a god and didn't dare to drink it.

"Those who rebel against Shunchang will recruit their troops, and those who rebel will destroy their clans." bang As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, the wine cup in Tuoba Ying's hand fell to the ground, hit the baking tray of the wine pot, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

But at this time, Tuoba Ying could no longer care about the precious wine and said in a voiceless voice: "General Tian" "Those who obey will be subordinates of your Tuoba tribe and can enjoy any benefits you provide.

Those who are disobedient will let the tribes that obey you raze them to consolidate your prestige and ruling system.

If this continues , you will gradually find that a pyramid-like hierarchical system has gradually emerged under you.

Anyone who obeys you will do their best to serve you, and those who do not obey you can only get out of this world.

Completely disappeared from the grassland” Ma Chao once had a fantasy of conquering foreign races.

By chance, thanks to Ma Teng's influence, he successfully gained the trust of the Qiang people, and established a good relationship between the two ethnic groups for peaceful coexistence and trade, realizing his original beautiful fantasy.

However, not every foreign race has the same fondness for the Ma family as the Qiang people.

Strictly speaking, Ma Chao's victory over the Qiang people was due to the merits of Ma Teng and his two generations.

But the Xiongnu, and even the later Xianbei, Wuwan, Nanman and other foreign tribes, had nothing to do with the Ma family.

The harsh living environment and customs dictate that they just want to bite off a piece of meat from the Ma family and have a full meal.

In response to this, Ma Chao thought of the system of the later Yuan Dynasty, the naturally formed hierarchical system: in the Central Plains of the Han people with advanced civilization and open-minded thinking, it may be difficult to last.

But in the wild, backward, ignorant and harsh grasslands, there is an effective social system.

Its existence is the most convenient way to safeguard the interests of the ruler.

It allows the ruler to quickly get help from trustworthy collaborators and give them rewards, allowing them to take on basic military and political tasks, while allowing the conquered to remain in a submissive position, which does not pose a threat to the ruler.

As long as Tuoba Ying is ambitious and always focuses on larger-scale conquests, then this hierarchy system will be the guarantee that he will never lose.

This is because the hierarchical division system, while conquest is for the purpose of direct plunder, clearly divides the various groups that make up society in terms of obligations, rewards and responsibilities.

With such a foundation, it can be expected that conquests will continue on the grasslands a hundred years later.

And those who control everything behind the scenes are the Han people who hold their economic lifeline.

After Ma Chao said these words, the foxes in the Ma family all looked cold and gasped: defeating the Huns or brazenly talking about conquering the Huns, the mighty Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also did it.

But like Ma Chao, he was the first person in history to formulate a perfect set of institutional guarantees and legal constraints to realize the goal that foreigners could never invade the Han Dynasty.

"General Tian" Tuoba Ying was not a fool, and he quickly understood Ma Chao's intentions.

Although in the bottom of my heart, I feel vague resistance to this inhumane and paranoid grand strategy, and intellectually, I also know that this must be a very arduous and dangerous long process, but "I agree."

Tuoba Ying angrily drank another glass of wine.

After dropping the wine cup, he drew a knife and stabbed his arm to bleed.

His handsome face became ferocious and terrifying, and he swore fiercely: "From now on, Tuoba Ying will Ba Bu will always be the slave of General Tian.

The first person on the grassland and the sun that never sets can only be General Tian.”

Yes, with such broad and huge ambitions and interests ahead, who in the world can refuse?

If there is no trace of ambition, then why should a man survive in the world?

Especially Tuoba Ying, a descendant of the Li family who has suffered all the discrimination and cold looks from the Xiongnu, Han Dynasty, and Xianbei tribes.

He has no reason to refuse Ma Chao's temptation.

Even if he drinks poisoned wine with a smile, Tuoba Ying will never look back.

But to Tuoba Ying's surprise, after Ma Chao heard Tuoba Ying's oath, instead of agreeing, he said: "No, although the first people on the grassland can only be Han people.

But today I But I promise you that apart from doing business and trade, the Ma family will never move to the grassland and immigrate to the border."

The Kou border rebellion was actually rooted in the Han Dynasty's border immigration policy.

Whether they are Han Chinese or nomadic people, there is essentially no difference.

In Liangzhou, which was ruled by emperors before the Han Dynasty, it was because of immigration that the Han people established counties and flattened pastures, squeezing out the living space of the nomadic people and creating conflicts between Han people and foreigners.

If the Han people enter the grassland and participate in Tuoba Ying's strategy.

There is no doubt that Ma Chao will have the unwavering support of the conquered.

But at the same time, this may also breed new political power and enemies for the Ma family.

With the oppression and rule of the nation, the unrest in the grassland is more likely to be directed at the Ma family.

Therefore, it is better to hide everything behind the scenes and control it remotely through Tuoba Department, which is the supreme method.

After listening to Ma Chao's assurance, Tuoba Ying could no longer say a word.

He fell deeply at Ma Chao's feet and did not dare to get up for a long time:
