Chapter 129: Looking at the Northwest

To this day, no one can know what is recorded in those ten volumes of documents, but the reactions of Shang Ying and Ying Zheng after reading them have been recorded in the documents of the Qin State.

The common reaction of the two was "shocked, it is fate." ”

It means that after reading it, it was shocked, and it was immediately sealed and no longer open to the public......

Since then, these ten volumes of documents have become a secret within the Qin State, and since then, no one has read these ten volumes.

Its name is "The Ten Chapters of Taishang".

But even so, Ling Hao still spied a trace from some documents.

For example, where is the "Xirong Land" where the students of the Taishang Palace temporarily avoided trouble......

After studying the relevant documents and checking the division of power in this world, he finally thought of a regime that had left a deep trace in the history of later generations - Tuyuhun.

Tugu (yΓΉ) Hun (313 AD - 663 AD), also known as Tuhun, Murong clan, the name of the country founded by Murong Tuyuhun, a nomadic people in the northwest.

Tuyuhun was originally a branch of the Xianbei Murong Department in Liaodong, and the Tibetans called it Achai.

It was a self-supporting regime from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty in the Qilian Mountains and the upper valleys of the Yellow River, as well as near Liangzhou (present-day Wuwei, Gansu).

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the leader Tuyuhun led his troops to move west to Longshang (Hexi) and establish a country.

As for his grandson Yeyan, he began to use his ancestral name as a family name and country name.

In the Southern Dynasties, it was called Henan State, and the neighboring tribes called it Achai or Yelu, so it was called Henan State or Henan by the Southern Dynasty.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it controlled Qinghai, Gansu and other places, and had friendly relations with all countries in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The Sui Dynasty married with it.

Later, Tuyuhun was conquered by the Tang Dynasty and crowned the king of Qinghai. In the late Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun fled to Hedong, which the Tang Dynasty called retreating and Tuhun.

During the Five Dynasties period, it began to be ruled by the Liao State. Most of his descendants have been integrated with various ethnic groups, and a few who have not been integrated are the Tu people of modern Qinghai.

The most famous story about the origin of Tuyuhun is: Tuyuhun, the eldest brother of Murong Diao, whose father was subordinate to 1,700 families in the tribe.

and involved in the return of the pawn, Murong Diao's heir, and the two horses fight. Murong Diao said angrily: "The first centimeters are different, but why don't you stay away from each other, but let the horses fight!" Tuyuhun said: "Horses are animal ears, fighting their normality, why be angry with others! And so he did. Repentance...... Xianbei said that his brother was Agan, and he remembered it and made it 'the song of Agan', thinking about it in the twilight of the year, and often singing it. ”

This story has clearly told the overall situation of the internal contradictions of the Murong clan, Murong Tugu was the eldest son, but he was excluded by his brother, and once migrated to the northwest region, where the water and grass are abundant, so he led the people under his command to settle here......

As for the origin of the Tuyuhun regime, it is the name of the ancient regional state in the northwest region of Shenzhou, which was originally the name of a person, and it was the eldest son of the Xianbei Murong clan in Liaodong who was the eldest son of Murong Shegui, and Murong Shegui was assigned to Murong Tuyuhun 1,700 households to manage.

At the beginning of the 4th century AD, Murong She's death, and his sister-in-law Murong Diao succeeded him as Shan Yu, and Murong Tugu Hun was at odds, and Tugu Hun then led his department to move west to Long (Liang) and Shang (North), which coincided with the time when the former Liang Zhang Liang served as the assassin of Liangzhou.

After Tuyuhun's death, he was succeeded by his eldest son, Tuyan. Jiang Cong, the Qiang chieftain of Angcheng (present-day Aba), was mortally wounded and instructed his son Yeyan to quickly defend Bailan (in present-day the area of Bulan Mountain in the Balon River valley in Qinghai) in order to consolidate his rule.

Ye Yan immediately established the Mukechuan headquarters in Shazhou (present-day Muketan in Guinan County, Qinghai Province), and set up Sima, Changshi and other officials. With his grandfather Tuyuhun as his family name, Tuyuhun has changed from a personal name to a surname and family name. Raindrop Book House

Later, Ye Yan passed on his son to dispel Xi, and Xi Chuanzi saw Lian, and was hired by Western Qin and was named the King of Bailan.

Seeing that Lian passed on his younger brother, Western Qin named him Shazhou Mu and Bailan King.

After looking at the younger brother Wu Suti, he was defeated by the Western Qin and begged to remain in the southern cool land. Wufuti is located in Shuluogan, the son of Shizhen, and his power is restored, leading thousands of tribes to Muhechuan, claiming to be the king of Dadanyu and Tuyuhun. He was defeated by Western Qin, and was named General Pingdi and Chishui Protector by Western Qin.

From Tuyuhun to Shuluogan, through the 6th generation and 8 transmissions, many of them have talents, and pay attention to absorbing scholars, Sima, doctors and other officials, all use Confucianism. At that time, when the 16 countries were divided and chaotic, the Tugu Hun was based on Gan and Qingjian, and actually controlled Taohe and Longgu (now Songpan, Sichuan Province) in the east, Chishui and Bailan in the west, the Yellow River in the north, and Dajishi Mountain in the south. It is adjacent to Nanliang in the north and West Qin in the east.

To about 420 years, Shuluogan passed on his younger brother Acai, annexed thousands of miles of Diqiang, lived in the water river (Guide County, Qinghai Province), was in the middle of Zhuqiang, and was called the strong department. He once climbed the west leaning mountain, looked for the source of the river, in order to find the passage to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, sent an envoy to Jiankang, paid tribute to Liu Song, and was named the history of Shazhou Thorn and the Duke of the River by Liu Song.

Later, Ah Cai passed on his younger brother Mu Ying, and Song was named the Duke of Longxi and the King of Longxi.

Mu Ying once captured Helianding, who was an enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and sent it to Wei, where Wei named Mu Ying as the king of Western Qin and occupied Jincheng, Longxi and other counties.

Mu Yu passed on his younger brother Mu Liyan. At this time, Tuyuhun has a vast land, in addition to the headquarters in Shazhou, there are 4 big cities, respectively in Qingshuichuan, Chishui, Douhe, Tuquzhenchuan and other places. Muliyanchuan is located in Shuluo Ganzi Shiyin, the beginning of the town is in Fuluochuan, and the headquarters is moved west. Shi Yin was named the king of Henan by the Song Dynasty, and was named the king of Xiping by Wei. Shi Yin passed on the son of Yi Hou. Du Yi Hou passed on the son of Fu Lian.

Fu Lian Chip passed on the son of Quarlu, lived in the city, and was called Khan during the reign of Yuwen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Tuyuhun economy is dominated by animal husbandry, and Tuyuhun people are good at raising horses. Mainly engaged in animal husbandry, horses, cattle, sheep, camels are a lot of numbers, horses are the best means of transportation for nomads to cross the mountains and gallop the grassland, the good horses of Tuyuhun have dragon breeds, Qinghai horses, and the livestock produced have been exported to the interior in large quantities.

Legend has it that when winter comes, the undulating Qinghai Lake is covered with ice, and the Tuyuhun people drive the high-quality mare to the Haixin Mountain in the center of the lake, and in the spring of the next year, the mare becomes pregnant and gives birth to a sturdy foal, called the "dragon breed".

Qinghai Cheng is a cross between the Persian horse and the local indigenous horse, known as the day of thousands of miles. In addition to animal husbandry, some of the Qiang people in Tuyuhun are also engaged in agricultural production, planting barley, millet, beans and other crops.

Tuyuhun also has a high level of handicrafts, and gold, copper, and iron are produced in Bailan Mountain, and metal smelting is also relatively developed. There are mainly mining, smelting, and manufacturing weapons and gold and silver gates, and the production department is indispensable for the excellent smelting industry in the war.

Tuyuhun is located in the land transportation artery of China and the West, with the Mongolian Plateau in the north, Central Asia in the west, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south, and the Yellow River and Yangtze River basin in the east. The Qinghai Road in the Silk Road, also known as the Tuyuhun Road, passes through the jurisdiction of Tuyuhun, so Tuyuhun once occupied an important position in the history of transportation between China and the West. With the development of animal husbandry and agricultural production and military needs, mining and smelting have also developed. Commerce was more active, and its caravans traveled to and from the "Silk Road", east to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, south to the Chengdu Plain, west to Central Asia, and as far as Persia (present-day Iran).

In the archaeological excavations of later generations, 76 silver coins were excavated in the Huangmiao Street in Xining City, which were all silver coins of the Belus Dynasty of the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia after identification, which can be said to be the last relic left by Tuyuhun when he interacted with Persia.

And the legend about the Tuyuhun King City, Fu Qi City, has also been fluctuating.

It is located in the north of Shinaihai Township, Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, south of Caiji River, and about 7.5 kilometers east of Qinghai Lake.

It is surrounded by a large grassland with open territory and abundant water and grass. The locals of this city call "Cheji Gqari Ri", Tibetan 'Kwari' is the city, and the Han people are called 'plus', which means the Han city in the Cheji place.

Because since ancient times, it has always been a nomadic land of fraternal peoples, they do not have the habit of building a city and living in it, and the age is long, no one can tell its origin, it is mistaken for the Han people to build, but in fact it is the famous Tuyuhun King City in the 6th-7th century AD......

This is the result of research by later generations, but there is no concept of "Western Regions" in this high-martial world, so it is likely that Tuyuhun has been established, but the Central Plains Territory does not know it very well, so one of them is called "Xirong Land......

It is very likely that the children of the evil came fled to this unpopular and valued area, so they survived, and it is very likely that they were received by the "Xijon people" who lived in these northwestern border areas.

Although he didn't know who was in charge of the Northwest before Tuyuhun in this matter, he could imagine how the people of the High Plains would get along with them as exiles.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ling Hao's mind, if it was that person...... It all makes sense.
