The wars at the Northern Border indeed played a significant role.
The Qiang people, including the Xiongnu.
They who initially had no intention of confronting the Great Han head-on imdiately restrained themselves.
Gu Yi’s vision certainly wasn’t limited to the Northern Border.
The people and horses he dispatched back then, whether Yang Hu or Du Yu, resulted from his deep thought and consideration.
These individuals have the capability to perfectly execute his plans.
——An unprecedented major reform arose in Kyushu.
This naturally couldn’t avoid a bloody storm, but what does that matter?
Integration is the choice of the era.
It’s also a milestone for history to move forward once again.
No storm or pressure can change this fact.
Actually, compared to the original history, the plan Gu Yi implented this ti has smoothly progressed much more.
Because Great Han is overwhelmingly powerful.
This dominance far exceeds that in the original history, and the ergence of the Gu Clan has pushed this dominance to its pinnacle.
Whether it’s the legends of Gu Xi and Gu Chen;
Or the migration Gu Chen planned back then.
The effort of generations has already set the stage for today’s events with perfect opportunities.
What Gu Yi needs to do is to carry out all of this.
This isn’t rely about threats.
Among every Barbarian tribe, there are those inclined toward the Great Han.
They understand the current culture of the Great Han far better than others.
Gu Yi is incredibly generous with his rewards.
He bestows Han surnas on them, allocates land to them, and elevates their status within the tribes.
Although these lands aren’t fertile.
It’s more than sufficient for them.
——The hustle and bustle of the world all for profit!
This is effective for anyone, and under these circumstances, the biggest drawback of such league systems becos completely exposed.
More and more people choose to embrace Great Han culture for their own interests.
Even though it’s just for profit now.
But what does that matter?
In this trend, their descendants will eventually experience significant changes.
The entire integration plan is in full swing.
Gu Yi ticulously controls everything with Gu Ye at the helm, bestowing surnas based on their cultural beliefs.
As a result, Gu Ye even supplented Gu Yi’s ideas.
What surprised Gu Yi was——
Gu Ye actually proposed a surna system similar to the "Nine Grade Zhongzheng System," categorizing the Barbarians’ surnas into upper, middle, and lower classes.
Within each class, three surnas were further divided.
They were assigned based on their degree of Hanization.
Each surna in every class provided different treatnt and status.
Those at the top could even participate in Great Han’s Imperial examinations!
And besides——
There are those with unconventional compound surnas.
This move greatly surprised Gu Yi, but upon careful thinking, he found this thod absolutely feasible.
Humans are like this.
As long as their lives aren’t threatened, they will have the urge to climb upward.
Using surnas for differentiation.
Allowing their internal competition for status to gradually evolve into a surna competition, subtly leading them to accept Great Han culture!
Although Gu Yi doesn’t know whether this approach will affect future generations.
It’s undeniable that, for the current situation, this strategy is definitely executable.
Just in Qianji’s fifth year, April.
Gu Yi held a grand sacrificial ceremony outside the dostic city.
This ritual was especially unique, completely different from previous rites.
Gu Yi placed the gods of various Barbarian tribes on the altar, only their positions were significantly lesser.
The most critical core——
Still belonged to the most orthodox of Great Han, Haotian and the Five Emperors.
At this ceremony, Gu Yi manipulated Gu Ye to formally bestow surnas upon these Barbarians!
Upper-class surnas: "Yan, Zhao, Xuan";
Middle-class surnas: "An, Gui, Zhong";
Lower-class surnas: "Tuo, Wu, Hui";
As for those with unconventional compound surnas, there are more, almost belonging to tribes that completely deviate from Great Han.
The impact of this event is unimaginable.
The entire Northern Border once again welcod a wave of rebellion.
Gu Yi’s sacrificial ceremony and the act of bestowing surnas have completely extinguished the unrealistic ambitions of so tribes.
Great Han is destined not to easily forgive them this ti.
Even under the threat to their beliefs, even if they know it’s hard to resist, they will ultimately raise their hunting knives.
But what does that matter?
To this day——
Even there’s no longer a need for the Han Army to intervene personally; those tribes bestowed with single surnas eager to climb upward will help Great Han resolve them.
Gu Yi gave them genuine benefits.
Not to ntion the upper-class surnas;
Even the middle and lower classes can obtain land and have certain privileges in the trade market.
Such direct benefits are enough to make countless people go mad.
To most people, rather than pursuing the faith that disregards their life and death, it’s better to seize the opportunity at hand.
Human nature——is always like this!
What Gu Yi didn’t anticipate was that even the fleeing Goguryeo king was captured and brought back by the Goguryeo people.
Compared to the fear of unknown migration, the current various systems proposed by Great Han are naturally more attractive to ordinary Goguryeo citizens.
The grand trend has ford!
Although the foundation of this trend is built on the threat of the Han Army.
But for the present, it suffices.
Once everyone clearly feels the distinction between their status, they will protect this policy for their own interests.
