Chapter Seventy-One: Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market
The state army seems to be calm and safe, but it is like the ocean, and there is a turbulent undercurrent under the calm surface, accumulating stormy waves.
In the first and second years of Xingping, Yun has been immersed in the governance of the state. With a steady stream of food from the Hokage world, and the state and food scarcity are insulated, Yun still puts agricultural reform in the first place, after all, this is a farming-based world, and more than ninety percent of the social structure is made up of peasants. It is impossible for Yun to support them for a lifetime, and he has not saved much money as a ninja.
Yun is very clear that in this era of extremely backward productivity, it is completely impossible to completely suppress or even split the idea of the family, the family after the development of the two Han Dynasty, is still in the rising period of vigorous development, it is no exaggeration to say that they represent this era, is the real rising force of the times. Therefore, Yun has always avoided head-on conflicts with the Maison, and his reforms are also small actions outside the traditional interests of the Maison. This is not cowardice, nor is it a compromise, but a tacit understanding within the ruling class of an era.
After more than ten years of war, the corpses of the entire Han Dynasty were all over the field, blood flowed endlessly, and the population plummeted, and the problem of land annexation naturally disappeared. Now the headache of the various princes is that the land under their rule is vast and sparsely populated, and Yun has sheltered the displaced people many times, and the population under his rule is quite large.
In Henan, which is almost unpopulated, the two counties of Hedong, Yun distributed the population, vigorously tuntian, and issued a strict order that not an inch of land in the two counties was allowed to be bought and sold, and Xun Zhentian and Yang were respectively appointed as the Taishou of Yin Hedong in Henan. Although Xun Zhen was born in a family, he had a long-term vision, understood the consequences of land annexation, and acted hard and ruthlessly. And Tian Yang was born in a poor family, and he was originally the head of Jinyiwei, and he was the most ruthless. Yun put these two cool officials here, and the meaning expressed was obvious, and the effect was also very good.
In addition, in Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang four counties are widely distributed, used to defend against the invasion of the Huns, dock forts, also widely cultivated and grazing. These tunbunkers were large and small, more or less numerous, and almost stuck in all the traffic points in the north of the state. These large and small dock forts, which all received military training, men and women could fight, had extremely strong defenses, and could assist each other, made several scattered Hun cavalry invaders suffer enough in recent years.
And a recent one has a news that Yun Qin led the army north, and the Huns wanted to annex it to the south.
Originally, in the former Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu surrendered, and the surrenderers were the Southern Xiongnu, who were placed in the Hetao area by the Han court and the two counties of Dingxiang in Yunzhong. During the period of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Huns had serious infighting, Shan Yu Qiangqu was killed, and Shan Yu's son Zuoxian Wang Yufu Luo succeeded to the throne. The rebellious tribe re-established a new Shan Yu, and Yu Fuluo had no choice but to ask the Han court for help. But at that time, it was encountering the chaos of the Han family, the general He Jin and the eunuchs fought for power, and no one took care of Yu Fuluo at all, so this group of Huns stayed in Sili Hedong County. Later, Yun and the group of Huns fought many times, and they met the pseudo-Shan Yu who died of illness, and he was disgusted by this group of Huns, so he directly contacted Yu Fuluo, who was stranded in Hedong, and asked him to pass through Bingzhou and return to the Hetao area.
Later, Yun became stronger and stronger, directly beating the Huns out of the Hetao area, and restoring the Han family's control of Yunzhong Dingxiang. On the other hand, although Yu Fuluo regained control of the Xiongnu tribes, it was useless, and the Hetao area, where the Xiongnu had lived for more than 100 years, was lost, and he could only go to the cold steppes in the north, and the tribal strength was greatly reduced, and he had to deal with the strong Xianbei people, and his life was very difficult. Originally, he could still go south to loot from time to time, but now the princes are all strong, and there are Chu Yun in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, all of whom are strong and strong, and they have no chance to loot against tough characters of different races. Unlike the Xianbei people, the Xiongnu people have a vast area of pasture, and can be self-sufficient through the grassland, and in the past two years, the grassland has had many white disasters in a row, and the losses have been heavy.
When the Huns were on the verge of ruin, a Han strategist who defected proposed that they could trade with the two forces, and the Huns had a difficult life, but cattle, sheep and horses were scarce resources for the Han people, and they could be traded with the Han people.
At this time, Yu Fuluo, the former leader of the Xiongnu, had just died of illness, and the new successor Shan Yu Hu Chuquan was more loyal to the Han family, and his uncle was a super Han fan, so the proposal of this strategist whose real identity was the Flying Dragon spy was so approved.
Originally, the Huns did not have much confidence in this proposal, so they just sent a messenger casually. When the state got the news, he was overjoyed, and Yun ceremoniously received the envoy, and carefully negotiated with him, and agreed that the two families would trade on the border.
Yunzhong Shimen Fort, in the northernmost part of Yunzhong County, is a huge dock fort with a population of 20,000. Yun led the Tu cavalry Guan Yu Department, the Tiger Ben Army Dian Wei Department, and the Wolf Cavalry Army with many goods and more than a dozen merchants stationed outside Shimen Fort, and set up a banquet to entertain the Hun envoy Youxian Wang to go to Bei.
This Qubei is also a strange person, he is extremely obsessed with Han culture, claiming to be the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Peixian King Liu Fu VI Sun Duliao General Liu Jinbo's descendants, saying that Liu Jinbo's Northern Expedition to the Huns was captured, gave birth to a corpse, and Qubei is the grandson of the corpse. Of course, at this time, he didn't dare to call himself surnamed Liu. Qubei liked to wear Hanfu, and asked the Han people who fled to the Xiongnu to teach him Chinese and teach him Confucian classics.
Yun received Qubei at the banquet, and Qubei looked polite, and spoke fluent Luoyang official dialect, which surprised the civil and military forces of Bingzhou.
After entertaining Qubei, after setting the date of the transaction, Qubei left, and Yun and Tian Yang, Wang Chang, Guan Yu and others discussed.
Yun likes to hold meetings, let everyone be part of their identities, speak freely, brainstorm, and once Yun has something he doesn't understand, he likes to discuss with someone.
During the banquet, Tian Xu asserted: "It is not sincere to go to humble." ”
He was too humble during the banquet, and the conditions were all general, which made Bingzhou Wenwu doubt his sincerity.
Wolf cavalry captain Xu Hai is a border citizen of Bingzhou, good at riding and shooting, more than foreign exchanges, very familiar with their habits, is a hardliner of foreign races, has always opposed the exchange of markets with the Huns, he said: "The foreign tribe is also, cunning and deceitful, my army with a large amount of grain and grass away from the state, we must be vigilant against the Huns raids and robberies." ”
Guan Yu doesn't know about foreign races, but he is brave and arrogant, and he has devoted himself to training during this time, and he is full of confidence in his soldiers, "Why be so cowardly, if the thief slave is trustworthy, if he is not trustworthy, he only needs a Qinglong Yanyue knife and five hundred elite soldiers, and he can capture the enemy chief and the horse alive." "Second Brother Guan really doesn't know how to be a man, what do you want to say, Xu Haiqi's face turned red, if it weren't for Yun here, he would have to fight with Guan Yu.
Wang Chang flipped through the information from the inside line and chuckled, "The slave thief is on the verge of life and death, and the trapped beast is still fighting, so it's better to be careful." "After all, no one can guarantee that the Huns will not be nervous.
Tian Xu said: "It's okay, be cautious, when he lives and dies, only with my grain and grass can he have a glimmer of life, thinking that the thief and slave plan to betray the alliance to take my grain and grass or intimidate me with soldiers." I and the state soldiers should be one hundred, and I can respond to all changes without moving. ”
