Chapter 564: Wuhuan Eight
At this time, Wuhuan Shan Yu has changed from the former Qiu Liju to Badun.
Before Qiu Liju died of illness, because Lou Ban was too young, he let Ban Dun temporarily be Shan Yu, and let him promise in front of the three Wuhuan adults of Nanlou, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan that as long as Lou Ban grew up, he would return Shan Yu's position to Lou Ban.
Badun, called Little Maodun by the Wuhuan people, is talking about his ambition, Badun hopes to follow the example of Maodun and Tanshi Huai to create a grassland empire, and therefore has been accustomed to robbing people and herding sheep and then selling slaves and wool Nanlou and others do not deal with, in the eyes of Nanlou and others, and the Han people, doing business is the best way to develop the tribe, and the Han people at war.... Don't you see the Huns in the past, and today you are humble?
After receiving the official document from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Bunton's keen intuition told him that behind this official document was a mountain of swords and a sea of danger.
"Ma Qiang has returned to Youzhou... I'm afraid Nanlou already knew about it. He threw the paperwork on his desk and closed his eyes in thought.
Wuhuan is a large tribe that is both scattered and united.
said that it was scattered because Wuhuan was divided into counties and counties in the Han Dynasty to set up their own leaders, some were called kings, some were called adults, and some dared to call Shan Yu, anyway, behind closed doors, they were all soil emperors.
Speaking of unity, it is because Wuhuan is sandwiched between the Han Empire and Xianbei, so in the past few decades, most of the time the Wuhuan departments have been in a unified pace, advancing and retreating together, which is why after Ma Qiang opened up the road of Nanlou, the other Wuhuan departments opened the door to Ma Qiang's caravan.
The current Wuhuan can be divided into eight parts from the large tribes.
They are the Liaodong Wuhuan Protection Department, the Liaodong Wuhuan Sufuyan Department, the Liaoxi Wuhuan Lower Department, the Right Beiping Wuhuan Wuyan Department, the Shanggu Wuhuan Nanlou Department, the Daijun Wuhuan Pufu Lu Department, the Yanmen Wuhuan Luxi Department and the Liucheng Wangting Bandun Department.
Of course, there are also various small tribes under each big tribe, for example, there are tens of thousands of clansmen in Nanlou, and the population controlled by a 10,000-strong commander may be more than the Wuyan people who only have 800 tents in Youbeiping, so these adults can only be said to be noble, but the difference in strength is very large.
Now among the various ministries, outside the court of the king of Liucheng, it is the difficult building department and Ma Qiang to have the best relationship with Ma Qiang, and the most powerful, although the other ministries are also doing business with Ma Qiang, but they are more or less dissatisfied with Ma Qiang's behavior of constantly recruiting warriors in various departments.
After all, their population is not large, and every time Ma Qiang recruits one, their strength is one point less.
Even if you don't consider anything else, how can you go out to raid without warriors?
"Wool... Cattle and sheep... Steed... Righteousness from... Slaves..."
Bun Dun rubbed his face, he suddenly found that he didn't know when it started, and the interests of Wuhuan and Ma Qiang were already too deep.
"No! If this continues, our Wuhuan will be completely engulfed by the Han people! Tonton muttered as he looked at the patterns on the woolen carpet.
His goal is to create a steppe empire, like Mao Dun and Tanshi Huai, but not to become the right-hand man of the Han Empire and become the next Jin Riyan.
Suddenly hearing bursts of cheers from outside, he couldn't help but feel strange, so he walked out of the big tent, and saw that the clansmen were celebrating each other, and couldn't help but ask the guards who were also smiling on the side, "What is the happy event here?" Why don't I know? ”
"I just came to Kuaima and brought a new newspaper to Shan Yu, and after reading it, Shan Yu ran out and told everyone that the amount of wool purchased was going to increase, and everyone was happy!"
"Wool purchases are going to increase?" Feeling that something was wrong, he hurriedly walked towards Lou Ban's big tent.
Over the years, as Ma Qiang's focus has shifted to the hegemony, the purchase of wool has also decreased a lot, and many herdsmen in Wuhuan have raised a lot of sheep, and the wool has been piled up in a tent, but they can't wait for the caravan to buy, if the sheep can be eaten, many people have to go crazy.
Now that they know that wool purchases may increase, can the herdsmen of Wuhuan not be happy?
Almost ten years have passed, and the Lou Ban who was rescued by Li Jue has grown into a young man, and at this time he is holding a newspaper and watching it with relish, and he is still holding a lacquered bowl in his hand and drinking an extremely expensive Sprite soda from time to time.
Of course, this kind of high cost is nothing for the future Shan Yu Lou class.
"King Xian, I just heard that the purchase price of wool is going to rise? But an envoy from the Zhenbei Army came? ”
"Ah, it's my brother here, no, it's what the newspaper says, you see, this is the latest issue of the newspaper, it says, it says that Youzhou Liu Zhijun's choice makes Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou become one, and from now on, Qingzhou's salt can be transported to Youzhou and Qingzhou, and Youzhou's wool, cattle and horses can be transported to Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the grain produced by Jizhou's fertile fields will be transported to Qingzhou and Youzhou, and the people of the three states will benefit from this.
Several listed companies in Qingzhou have said they plan to increase production capacity to cope with new markets.
Our wool is the raw material used to weave wool cloth! Are they going to increase their purchases of our wool, you say? ”
In this big tent, whether it is food or use, whether it is clothing or drinking, it is bought from the Han land in Youzhou, and it is a bit laborious to read Chinese, but Lou Ban is proficient in the scriptures, if it is not for the unique hat of Wuhuan, it is also believed that there is a young family who lives here.
"I see... King Xian, what do you think Ma Qiang is going to do when we ask us to go to Jixian County carefully? ”
"What to do... Probably to discuss the wool, cattle and horses, slaves and righteous servants, I read the newspaper said that because of the lack of cavalry before, General Zhenbei and Yuan Shao suffered a lot of losses in the fight, the Huns can produce 50,000 cavalry, and our Wuhuan eight divisions will not be less combined! ”
"Fifty thousand... All the young men of our Wuhuan Eight Divisions add up to this number... King Xian, I'm thinking, now that they Han people are fighting among themselves, why don't we take this opportunity to develop our Wuhuan up? ”
Lou Ban looked at the pause and asked puzzledly, "Isn't this development?" Once the wool is purchased, our cattle and horses have always been an important livestock needed by the Han people, and our Wuhuan life will definitely get better day by day! ”
Badun shook his head and said, "What we are doing now is still to be dogs for the Han people!" But we should be wolves!
I heard that the Gongsun Du of Liaodong has already begun to worship the sky, what is it relying on? Isn't it that the emperor of Liaodong Mountain is far away, and we are not close to Liucheng here! The real enemies of Ta Ma Qiang are those Han Chinese, who will recognize our independence as long as they cannot destroy us in a short time.
I'm thinking, we might as well unite with Gongsun Du and reverse together! ”
After speaking, Badun's eyes were full of light, as if he had seen a Wuhuan Empire that spanned the entire grassland.
