Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Qin and Chu were once regarded as barbarians. Since the Han Dynasty, the people from the Central Plains to Jingchu have all regarded themselves as Han people, and the differences between them have gradually disappeared.

The issue is complicated, at least for Zhang Qian, Wang Han, Wang Zhilian, and Luo Huaizu. They couldn't think of a definite answer for a while.

However, the answer to this question is the direction of solving the dilemma in the Western Regions. Otherwise, relying only on the government soldiers who came from afar from the Central Plains, they would never be able to protect and stabilize the Western Regions. In case of civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and Dashi and Tubo take the opportunity to invade or instigate, the Western Regions will completely break away from the Tang Dynasty just like Persia, Dawan, and Anxi. In the future, when Datang recovers its strength, if it wants to take it back, the cost will be a hundred times that of the current one.

Wang Han, Wang Zhihuan and Luo Huaizu could only vaguely feel this dangerous result. And Zhang Qian, no matter how bad he is in learning history, he will not forget that after the Anshi Rebellion, the western border of the Tang Dynasty instantly shrank to Jingzhou, which is less than 600 miles away from Chang'an.

When the Western Regions were lost, Tubo and Hui used Chang'an City as an ATM, and they came to visit when they were short of money to spend. The descendants of the Anxi Army, who were trapped in Guasha Erzhou, had been looking east for more than a hundred years, and until Chai Rong established Hou Zhou, they were still unwilling!

When he first arrived in Datang, Zhang Qian was just a spectator, of course he only thought about "fighting cocks and horses for a lifetime, and I don't know the rise and fall of heaven and earth", and now, he has taken root in Datang, the people he loves, his friends, and his descendants will all survive and reproduce in Datang, of course he can't tolerate the recurrence of tragedies that have occurred in another time and space! (Note: Fighting cocks and horses to live a lifetime, is a poem of the ancients, describing the rich and noble children born in the Kaiyuan period, according to the average life expectancy of the ancients, most of them died before the Anshi Rebellion.) A lifetime of happiness and comfort. ）

"After Qin unified the six countries, the book was the same text, and the car was on the same track, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the Han Dynasty." After talking all the way back to the state office of Broken Leaf City, Wang Zhilian couldn't even take off his fur, so he continued to speak generously, "And the current decree of the imperial court in the Western Regions is conniving, and even encourages the tribes to be different from the Han people!" ”

"The point is that the tribes have no fixed residence, they are illiterate, and they cannot write the same language. As for the car, they won't even repair the road, where did the track come from? Wang Han shrugged his shoulders, and while untying his pocket with the help of his own soldiers, he smiled and pointed out Wang Zhilian's wishful thinking. What's more, Qin II was beheaded. It can be seen that the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and it did not make the people of the six countries return to Daqin. ”

The temperature on the surface of the hood is extremely low, and when it comes into contact with the heat in the house, a layer of hoarfrost immediately condenses on the surface. As soon as the pro-soldier accidentally didn't grasp it, he fell to the ground with a loud "bang".

Wang Zhihuan was stunned and speechless. It's always easy to sit and talk about it, but the problems you face are often a hundred times more complicated.

"If you want me to say, the simple way is to tell the people of all ethnic groups that the Tang Dynasty official mansion is for them, and they will deal with those chiefs and elders together. Chiefs and elders are the common enemies of both sides. Knock out the chiefs and elders, and they can divide their wealth equally, and the government will not take a penny! Luo Huaizu put the iron vest on his body next, put it on the chair, and proposed with a sneer.

As soon as the words fell, he heard Zhang Qian coughing in a low voice. Immediately, he laughed and shook his head.

This trick is the nameless scripture that he stole from Zhang Qian, which may not be ineffective, but there is no possibility of implementing it at the moment. First of all, this move will provoke the revolt of all the tribal chiefs, and the Western Regions will be in chaos. Secondly, with the current execution ability of the Tang Dynasty, it is simply impossible to transmit this decree to the ears of the people in all ministries. Even when it did, the people of the tribes were accustomed to listening to the chiefs, priests, and elders, and they might not believe it. In the end, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to issue such an edict. Because if you can't control it, you will be burned.

Even in Broken Leaves, his proposal did not get any support. Wang Zhilian and Wang Han are both from the Taiyuan Wang family, and they definitely do not support the people to eat big households. Zhang Qian is alone, but the money in Zhang Qian's hand is probably more than most officials have accumulated for decades. Whoever wants to be rich and poor, Zhang Qian is the first to do it.

"I don't expect the imperial court to give any preferential treatment to the Han people who come to the Western Regions, at least they should be treated equally!" After laughing, Luo Huaizu thought about it, and finally said another realistic proposal.

"In Shattered Leaf City, we can do it." Not wanting Luo Huaizu to feel too embarrassed, Zhang Qian took over with a smile. "Elsewhere, I can't do anything about it at the moment. Especially Guo Yuanzhen, I don't know how much I hate me. I'm meddling in his turf, and he's going to be screwing with me. ”

"Not necessarily, although you slashed him in the neck and scared him half to death. But Qiuzi's work in breaking the siege also allowed him to take at least a small half. Wang Han took over the conversation with a smile and analyzed in a low voice, "Homeopathy, you also helped his son Guo Hong become famous." After careful calculation, in fact, the surname Guo has taken a big advantage! If I were him, I would definitely be more grateful to you than I was angry at this moment! ”

"That's not necessarily, if Zhao doesn't force him to borrow troops, even if he sits back and watches Qiuzi fall, the imperial court is afraid of completely losing control of the Western Regions, and he doesn't dare to do anything with him! He will even accept his proposal and fulfill Suoge's request! "I don't have a good impression of Guo Yuanzhen at all, Wang Zhilian sneered and shook his head." In this way, in the future, the Western Regions will basically become the territory of him and Suo Ge. As long as the two of them have colluded, if the imperial court wants to send any generals over, it will have to see if he is willing to agree! ”

"It's possible, and it's big!" Wang Han was stunned, and then decisively admitted that he had thought too kindly of Guo Yuanzhen just now.

"I'm afraid the probability is above ninety percent!" Luo Huaizu has never been afraid to speculate on human nature from the worst angle, and pouted with a sneer next to him. "The imperial court is accustomed to getting by and whitewashing the peace. If this battle is won by Suo Ge, I am afraid that the court will pinch its nose and have to crown this person as the fourteenth surnamed Khan. That Guo Yuanzhen was the only person who could thread the needle between the imperial court and Suo Ge, and the Jinshan Army under him also became the last force left by the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and its importance instantly increased tenfold. ”

When the words fell, the faces of everyone in the room changed, and in an instant, everyone's hearts swelled with fear.

If he hadn't been able to "borrow" troops from Guo Yuanzhen, even if Guo Yuanzhen had wiped out the group along with the more than 250 personal soldiers, and then sent him home with a respectful salute. After Suo Ge took Qiuzi, in order to take care of the "overall situation", the imperial court would not punish Guo Yuanzhen at all, and even added him to the knighthood!

In this way, everyone will all die in vain, and they may also bear the infamy behind them. Together with Zhou Yiyi, Ashinazhongjie and Niu Shi Award, he became a sinner who undermined the "tranquility" of the Western Regions.

That's the downside of not learning history well. If Zhang Qian had learned history well, he would have remembered that in another time and space, at the beginning of the eighth century, Guo Yuanzhen did sit back and watch Niu Shili die in battle, A Shi Na Zhongjie was killed, and Lu Shousu, the envoy sent to the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty, was cut by Suo Ge with thousands of knives, but he did not move! And the Tang Dynasty court, after that, decisively accepted Guo Yuanzhen's proposal, added Suo Ge as the fourteenth surnamed Khan, and removed Zhou Yiyi from his post and exiled him to Baizhou! Then, Guo Yuanzhen was on duty, the official worshiped the capital of Anxi, and the three products under the door of the same Zhongshu successfully achieved the dream of entering the phase, and the scenery was unique for a while!

"Fortunately, he is a soft bone, and he sold Guo Yuanzhen on the way. And everyone, I had to make two preparations! After being afraid, everyone secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

From Puchanghai all the way to the west, everyone walked on the blade almost every day, and it was only now that they finally felt a trace of safety. And how long the safe days can last, everyone doesn't know at all! In and around Broken Leaf City, there are not many Han people, this is a fact! It is also true that the people of all tribes only know that there are elders and chiefs, but they don't know that there is a Tang Dynasty!

At present, although most of Suoge's servants and horses have dispersed, the losses of his descendants are not large, and they still have the strength to fight. If we don't solve Suo Ge as soon as possible, after the beginning of spring next year, this person may recover his strength with the support of the Great Cannibals and Turks, and his troops will be under the city of Broken Leaves.

At that time, the growth of everyone's strength will be limited, but the grain and grass will have been almost consumed. If the Niu Shi Award can't lead the troops to help in time, it's hard to say whether everyone can keep the broken leaves!

The atmosphere in the room quickly turned dull. The topic that was inadvertently diverted by Zhang Qian quickly jumped back to the original point.

There are too few Han people in the Western Regions, or Tang people. In the long run, if there are not enough Tang people, all the victories of everyone this time will be short-lived. And from a closer look, without enough Tang people, it will be impossible to expand the army, and the safety of everyone will not be guaranteed. Shattered Leaf City may also be taken away by Suo Ge again.

"In fact, the situation is not so bad, many tribal chiefs and warriors still have their hearts set on Datang. He Li has made countless achievements for the Tang Dynasty. And who dared to say that Hei Chichang was not a Tang man, he would pull out a knife and fight with you! Among the four, Wang Zhilian is the youngest and has the most active thinking. Suddenly smiled and whispered.

"That's because at that time, Datang's national strength was at its peak, and after they defected to Datang, they all had many benefits to take!" Luo Huaizu rolled his eyelids and said stupidly.

When the words fell, everyone was stunned, and immediately, their eyes immediately sparkled.

The reason why the people of the six countries have all forgotten their homeland and regarded themselves as Han people, and even the Huns and Liu Yuan also established the country as Han, is not only because of the same book and the same track, but also because the Han Dynasty is strong. is also because, becoming a Han Chinese has brought tangible benefits to everyone for a long time.

Becoming a Han Chinese means a more stable life and lower taxes.

Becoming a Han Chinese means better agricultural tools, better weapons and armor, and more advanced technologies.

Being a Han Chinese means better medical conditions and more opportunities to read and write.

Becoming a Han Chinese means that you can be relatively fairer in law and have a wider room for growth. More hope, more glory, joy and fulfillment.

Become a Han Chinese......

And if there are many decrees, they are the opposite. Becoming a Han Chinese means higher taxes and narrower space for development. If you have to suffer grievances in front of the law, you will be bullied by the tribesmen, and you must swallow your anger. The final result, I am afraid, is that in the Western Regions at present, there are fewer and fewer Han people, and there are fewer and fewer people who are interested in the Han Dynasty.

"Simply, in the name of the history of the march of the Anxi Army, I will give the Broken Leaf people a Tang nationality. No matter what they look like, which tribe they belonged to before, anyone who has lived in Broken Leaf City for more than three years and has not committed any mistakes will be admitted to the Tang Dynasty. After naturalization, even if he is a fugitive slave, his previous affiliation with the elders and chiefs will be directly cancelled! A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in front of him, and Zhang Qian said with a smile.

"It's not enough, after naturalization, along the Shiba River and Atami, each person can get 100 acres of Yongye Field. Whether it's grazing, farming, or renting it to others, they do whatever they want! Wang Han has always been big-handed, and he quickly added on the side.

"That's not enough, we have to change Guo Yuanzhen's rules. On the side of Broken Leaves, whenever the people of the Tang Dynasty compete with the non-Tang people, the people of the Tang Dynasty will take three points first. The government must first support its own people, and then ask about the merits! ”

"Build another primary school, just like we did in Weinan. For those who are admitted to the Tang Dynasty, their children will be enrolled in school free of charge. Luo Huaizu was unwilling to live behind others, and copied his previous experience.

"There is also an article that anyone who joins the Tang Army will be naturalized immediately and will not be subject to a three-year limit. One person joins, as long as he fights bravely, he can bring a relative to naturalize for each meritorious service. Wang Zhilian's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands.

"I have to add that no matter if the Tang people enter the city or go out of the city, they will not be charged city gate tax, and non-Tang people will have a penny at a time. To do business in the city, the Tang people are taxed 30 and 1, and the non-Tang people are taxed 10 and 1. Luo Huaizu reacted very quickly and immediately drew inferences.

"One more thing, all the departments of the Western Regions, whoever kills my Tang people. The Anxi army will kill the murderer and the whole family will avenge him. If any elder or chief dares to shield the murderer, or pull some clan rules, he will be punished for treason. ”

"One more thing, if the Tang people are over fifty and have no children to support them, the government will raise them, and they will not let him freeze and starve to death. Tang ......"

"Add one more, farming, ten taxes for Tang people, and three taxes for non-Tang people. Grazing, the Tang people have eight livestock and one hind leg, and the non-Tang people follow the rules of the past tribe to give one hind leg for every four livestock. ”

"One more thing, the Tang people are reclaiming and grazing, and the government can lend seed equipment......"

"One more thing, anyone who has made great contributions to Datang, even if he has not joined the army, can be naturalized immediately, without being limited by three years. No matter what clan he originally belonged to, Datang treated him like a brother in the middle of the atom! ”

……

Many of the proposals are contrary to Guo Yuanzhen's original policy. Or it is completely contrary to the current policy of the local government of the Tang Dynasty towards the tribes in the Western Regions. However, whether it was Zhang Qian, Luo Huaizu, Wang Han, or Wang Zhilian, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing this.

Anyway, the mountain of Broken Leaf City is high and the emperor is far away, and Broken Leaf City was beaten down by everyone. Everyone is in a hurry to obey their authority and formulate some temporary policies, which cannot be regarded as overstepping their authority. As for when these policies will be temporary, how long Zhang Qian will stay in the Western Regions, and whether the person who will replace Zhang Qian in the future will follow the rules, everyone can't take care of it for the time being, and they don't want to think about it.

As a result, under the dual effect of external pressure and internal power, a "Broken Leaf Tang People Protection Order", which had never been seen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, was announced, and within three days, it was posted all over the streets and alleys of Broken Leaf City.

Wang Han and Wang Zhilian are two, they have insufficient experience in officialdom, and they don't have the energy to look ahead. And Luo Huaizu's mind is much more complicated than the two. I found another opportunity alone, and came to Zhang Qian's side and asked, "Why are you so bold all of a sudden?" Aren't you afraid of the court, saying that you have a heart of disobedience? ”

"Did I have the guts to do it before?" Zhang Qian glanced at him and asked with a smile. What's more, Guo Yuanzhen is so blatantly tossing, the court doesn't dare to do anything to him. How could it be that when you come to me, you are nitpicking? ”

"You don't want to go back to Chang'an for a while? Do you want to stay in the Western Regions? Luo Huaizu was not very satisfied with this answer, frowned and looked around, and lowered his voice again to ask.

"Rebellion, I won't. Don't persuade me! Immediately guessed Luo Huaizu's careful thoughts, Zhang Qian smiled, and decisively blocked the feasibility, "However, I really won't want to go back to Chang'an in the near future." There is a miasma of black smoke over there, which is not as good as the Western Regions. Anyway, here, I know who the enemy is and which direction the knife is stabbing from! ”

"I should have guessed you didn't want to go back!" Luo Huaizu patted his head hard, and made a sudden realization, "It's just, why?" ”

He just asked casually, and he didn't care if the answer was true or not. However, Zhang Qian thought for a while, but replied with a sentence that made him confused.

"Uncle Shi, I want to try if people can change history." At that moment, the expression on Zhang Qian's face was extremely solemn. It's like telling what you want in your life!

Whether people can change history or not is too big a topic to be answered in a short period of time. But Zhang Qian's "Broken Leaf Tang People's Protection Order" had an almost immediate impact on Broken Leaf City.

The soldiers of the Western Regions who followed him and the brothers of the Jinshan Army who he borrowed in Shule were all Tang people, and they were not affected by the "Broken Leaf Tang People Protection Order" in the slightest. However, the recruits and craftsmen who joined the Tang Army in Gumo and Frozen City instantly found their home.

Among them, many of them are of mixed Chinese and Hu descent, and some are pure Hu people. However, according to the "Broken Leaf Tang People Protection Order", they all immediately became Tang people. And it has the qualifications of sharing permanent fields, tax reductions, children's education, and government pension for the childless. Even though it was freezing cold and the enemy was close at hand, it was impossible for them to cultivate and graze their land. And according to the average life expectancy of people in this era and the harsh weather in the Western Regions, the vast majority of them will not be able to live to fifty!

The inspired recruits and craftsmen who accompanied the army raised their eyebrows and walked with the wind. The vendors and laborers who live in the city are also itching.

To join the army, many people still have no courage, or they are limited by age and physical conditions, and do not meet the conditions. However, on the "Broken Leaf Tang People Protection Order", the path to rapid naturalization is not only in the army.

When a lot of people start using their brains for a goal, it's very efficient. On the fifth night of the issuance of the "Broken Leaf Tang People Protection Order", several people with mink shawls wrapped in their faces quietly walked to the side gate of the Broken Leaf Prefecture Ya, asking to see Shi Zhangqian, the marching commander of the Anxi Army, and said that he had something important to tell him.

In line with the idea of buying horse bones with a thousand dollars, Zhang Qian put on the Yaoxing armor and summoned these people in the lobby. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, everyone knelt down at the same time, and scrambled to say: "Thanks to Changshi's magnanimity, I am grateful to be able to stay in the city and continue to do business." ”

"As far as we know, Na Suo Ge's betrayal of the Tang Dynasty has long been unpopular, and he only endures his prestige, and the elders of the clan dare not resist."

"The two cities of Broken Leaf and Yezhi City were all built by Tang Dynasty craftsmen. At that time, according to the situation in Chang'an, drainage canals were built for the two cities to connect the Shaye River to prevent waterlogging. ”

"There is little rain on the side of the broken leaves, and the canals are mostly dry in autumn and winter. The little old man drew a layout map of the city and dedicated it to the old man of Changshi. ”

"As long as the elder of the long history gives the order, he will pardon the ministers and elders of the Tuqi Shi, and only ask Suo Ge for the sin of one person. In Yezhi City, it is bound to be centrifugal up and down. ”

"Master Changshi can send elites to kill through the drainage canal, and kill Suo Ge by surprise!"

"If Suo Ge dies, the people of the city will be in chaos. At that time, as long as the elder Changshi puts the flag under Yezhi City, according to the rules of the Turbulent Cavalry, many warriors will immediately pay allegiance to you! ”

……

Their Tang dialect was very poor, but Zhang Qian listened attentively for a while, and he could basically understand what they wanted to express.

Frowning and groaning slightly, he made a decisive decision: "You are willing to serve Datang, and your loyalty is commendable." This official will send someone to check, and if the situation is true, whether or not Yezhi City can be broken or not, you will be allowed to become naturalized immediately. Come on, write down their names, surnames, and addresses, and send them out quietly through the side door! ”

"Xiao Lao'er is Su Sibu, no, Xiao Lao'er's surname is Su, and his single name is a stone character. Yes, the surname is Su, the name is stone, the egg is not an egg, it is a stone of stone, and he lives in a medicinal herb workshop. ”

"The little old man's surname is Xiao Mohe, the little old man's surname is Xiao, and his name is Mohe! The family lives in the rice mill. ”

"Qi Yu has a long history, in the next surname Yuan, the famous industry, the word has a way! Home ......"

……

Everyone happily reported their names, surnames, and addresses, and bowed down to thank them. Then he was led by his own soldiers and quietly left through the back door. And the Yamen of Broken Leaf Prefecture, after they left, immediately became lively as if it was boiling a pot.

Shattered Leaf City does have a very wide drainage nullah, and there is a sluice gate made of iron railings on top of it, which is used to isolate the inside and outside of the city. Before Suo Ge came over, Zhang Qian found out, and ordered someone to block the exit of the canal with ice and snow. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhicheng had the same one.

"I'll sneak into Yezhi City for you and assassinate Suo Ge. Give me twenty grenades, and I'm more than seventy percent sure! "Luo Huaizu hasn't been in his old business for a long time, and his forehand is itching uncomfortably. Looking at the interior layout of Ye Zhicheng left by the old man surnamed Xiao, he was eager to try.

"If Suo Ge dies, within a short period of time, the various tribes of the Turgish will definitely be leaderless. It's just that you have to beware of deception, that person named Xiao Maha must have done something under Suo Ge, otherwise, it would be impossible to understand the location of the houses and official houses in Yezhi City so clearly. Wang Han changed his usual heroism, frowned and reminded in a low voice.

"If I go alone, even if there is a trap, it will be easy to get out!" Luo Huaizu frowned slightly and continued to add. I was very dissatisfied with Wang Han's cautiousness. "If I can't come back, I don't need you to save me. If you don't believe, I can write it down. ”

With that, I'm ready to look for pen and paper. However, Zhang Qian suddenly stopped him with a smile. Shaking his head with a smile, "Uncle Shi, don't be impatient." In my eyes, your life is much more precious than Suoge. If you fall into the hands of Suoge, even if I give up the broken leaves, I will send troops to rescue you. So, since it's an adventure, we might as well take a big gamble! ”
