Ba Ruo Neng said, "Not so, right? ”

Yuan Guang asked, "Father, what is the fundamental difference between my clan and the Xia people?" ”

Ba Ruoneng replied: "The Xia people are engaged in farming, and our Hu Yi is nomadic herding, which is fundamentally different from me. ”

"That's right! The Xia people were controlled by the fields and could only settle in the counties; I, Huyi, moved from water to grass, and moved several times a year, and my residence was uncertain. Therefore, although I, Lu Shuihu, have long been called a minister of Zhongxia, but since the Qin Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the successive dynasties of the Zhongxia court have not been able to restrain us as much as they have for the Xia people, and they have only been restrained, unable to serve and pay taxes. It can be said that 'wandering' is the foundation of our Huyi's independence.

"Now the prince of the government is tempting the pasture to confuse me into migrating the herds of the Lushui and Hu tribes, and 'setting up a city and placing officials'. Father, this is to destroy the difference between my tribes and the Xia people, to get rid of the root of my tribes, and to try to treat my tribes as if they were Xia people! …… Don't you see the fate of those Hu Yi who migrated to settle in the county before? ”

"Setting up a city and placing officials" is one of the contents that Xin Er said to him when he had a secret conversation with Ba Ruo.

The ultimate purpose of Linghu Feng's order to "collect Hu Tun Mu" is to change the status quo that Hu Mu is difficult to control, and it is intended to levy military service on them, so it is necessary to establish an administrative unit such as Tang County and County to compile and manage them, so after a sufficient number of Hu Mu move to the pasture under the Qilian Mountain, placing a Hu Yi there is the next step.

Yuan Guang pinched his fingers and gave Ba Ruo the fate of Hu Yi who migrated internally: "Taxes, labor, military service, slaves to the government, slaves to the big surname, hungry, precarious, beaten and scolded, driven like pigs and dogs, how miserable!" Father, if the government's 'internal migration' is successful, their fate will be our future fate! Are you willing to be fished and bullied by the Tang people? ”

Ba Ruo can say as if defending: "The prince does not ask my ministry to move in. The prince told me that this internal migration is mainly for the people of the other three tribes, and it is completely 'spontaneous and voluntary', and as for our department, it will not be forced. ”

"Father! Don't you know what season it is? Just as spring is coming, the departments are moving into the summer pasture one after another! The pasture in Heihe is insufficient, and the government allows hundreds of acres of good pasture, several acres of alfalfa, and lambs, and no rent and tax for two years. If the father and other chiefs do not strictly prohibit it, they are afraid that there will not be a few who are 'spontaneous and voluntary' and accept internal migration! ”

The concept of hierarchy, looking at Tang and Yi, is exactly the same. The aristocracy of the Tang people regarded the common people as untouchables, and there was no difference between Hu and Yi. The chieftains and other leaders of the Hu people have been inherited from generation to generation, especially the top nobles such as Shan, which are noble races, and the rest of the people are lowly races.

Ba Ruoneng said: "The prince of the palace read the letter written to the king with me: When the new yi is opened, let me be the head of the good town." Yuanguang, the official of our Hu people has always been hereditary, I became the head of the city, this official, isn't it your brother who will take over in the future, and then in the future, your son will take over, which is equivalent to returning to my family forever? What does it have to do with the tribesmen of Lugen, Tutu, and Lelie even if they wish to migrate inward? Didn't it end up under our family's account? Isn't it great good for my family? ”

This is where Baruo can hesitate.

Of course he knew what Yuanguang said, and even what Yuanguang didn't say explicitly, he knew it.

"When the Xia people treat Yunyun like a disciplined person, it is not so much "to eliminate the root of my tribes", but to "eliminate the root of my family". If the Hu herdsmen under the tent all went to the pasture, and there was no one under them, how could they still be "chiefs"? However, Xin Er's promise to make him the mayor of this new town seems to be of great benefit to his family, so he can't help but hesitate.

Yuan Guang's face turned red with anger and said, "Father! Do you believe what the prince says? ”

Ba Ruo Neng said: "Zhi Beyan is just a Bairen Xiaohu, and the prince of the mansion will do what he says, let alone me!" He asked his younger brother Koji Zhu and eldest son Pingluo, "What do you say?" ”

And Qubu has lived in Longzhou for hundreds of years, and has been deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, "loyal and filial piety" for many generations, and Qu Yuanguang just said that it was used to paste gold on the face of his family; Ba Ruoneng's eldest son, Pingluo, really pursued this.

He said righteously: "Just like what Yuanguang said to Fujun two days ago, my family is 'loyal and filial to all generations'. Therefore, my family belongs to one party. I'd rather be burdened by others than by others. Don't say that the prince of the house is an honest person, but he is lying to me, father, and he should also obey the order. ”

And Qu Yuanguang and Luo Ping have the same half-brother. Ba Ruo Neng had two wives, one was his original wife, the mother of Luo Ping; One is his widowed sister-in-law, the mother of Yuanguang. The environment on the grassland is harsh, a moment ago there are flocks of horses and sheep, after a heavy snowfall, it may be destitute, so in order to maintain the strength of the clan and protect the clan property, the Hu people have the marriage custom of "mother-in-law and sister-in-law", that is, the widowed woman can be inherited by her husband's relatives for marriage. The father dies, and the son and the wife of the stepmother; When the brother dies, the remaining brother takes his wife.

Yuan Guang and Luo Ping are brothers, and their appearance is different.

Luo Ping is like his father, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks good.

Yuanguang was a little unlucky, absorbing the shortcomings of his parents' appearance, and was relatively ugly, with thick eyebrows, a round face, a wide nose, and a thick mouth.

Listening to Luo Ping's words, Yuanguang couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: "Xia people scolded me for being cunning Hu Yi repeatedly, but how did my father give birth to a fool like my brother!" Angry, he jumped up from his beard, stomped his feet with his head in his hands, and grinned: "Brother! Brother! "It's very much like a mountain ape.

Everyone is close to each other, familiar with it since childhood, and they all know that Yuanguang will make funny statements when his emotions are out of control, because no one is surprised.

Pingluo said: "Yuanguang, talk well, why are you suddenly anxious?" What it looks like! No meter. ”

Koji Zhu quite agreed with Yuanguang's words, and when he finished jumping, he groaned and said, "The reasoning is indeed like what Yuanguang said. Just ......"

Yuanguang asked, "What?" ”

"It's just that the court has good soldiers and horses. The razing rebellion more than ten years ago, with its great momentum, was put down in just a few months. At that time, the leader of the troops was today's king. Migrating to my people, I expected that it was not the intention of the king, and it would be the order of the king. …… Yuanguang, what you said about the Fu clan is in the future, do we dare to disobey the king's order? I'm afraid that the Terrestrial Clan is right in front of me. ”

Linghu sent a large army to the city, and the courtiers surrendered; In the first battle of the peace of mind, Yu Wei shocked Hu Yi.

In the final analysis, virtue can be dissatisfied; Wei, if you don't accept it, you can't do it.

Ba Ruo Neng thought so, asked Qu Yuanguang, and said: "Yuanguang, you only told me not to obey orders, but what your uncle said, have you taken it into account?" What should we do if we recruit an army of the imperial court? ”

Yuanguang had a way and said, "What's the worry! ”

"What do you do?"

Yuan Guang talked eloquently and said: "I, Lu Shuihu, are all over the five counties, and I live with Beishan Xianbei. The Father may secretly send envoys to communicate with them; With the rhetoric that 'the imperial court will accept us and other Hu Yi into the household registration, levy taxes, military service, and enslave the Ruxia people', they frightened them and called on them to resist together. Our department was originally Lu Shuihu's famous department, so I expected them to respect their father. The king has not been on the throne for a long time, and there is a strong Qin outside, how dare he raise a big army? In this way, what kind of 'harvesting Hu Tun herd' will not end up without a problem? ”

"Beishan Xianbei" refers to the general name of the Xianbei tribes in the area of Heli Mountain, Masideh Mountain and Longshou Mountain between Zhangye and Jiankang counties north of Heishui. The main body of Huyi in Longzhou is composed of three parts, and Lushuihu is one of them; The Xianbei tribes of Hexi in Zhangye and Wuwei counties north and east of Heishui are the second; The third is the Xiyi tribes in the southeast bordering Puqin and Ranxing.

The three major branches of Huyi have different ethnic origins and different areas of activity, but Longzhou is such a big place, and the news between the various branches is not blocked, and there are also contacts from time to time, and even mixed residences and marriages.

Yuanguang's countermeasures, even Koji Zhu felt that he was too radical.

Koji Zhu said: "You said that the king did not dare to raise a big army, what if the king dared? And what if Lu Shuihu's other departments and Beishan Xianbei don't obey the call of our department? ”

Yuan Guang said: "If the king dares to raise troops and the troops do not obey, we will go north along the weak water, attack and plunder the West Sea, and lead Rouran into the country!" He sneered and said, "Rouran invaded the north, Qiang Qin was in the east, I waited for Hu Yi to be in turmoil, hum, did he dare to 'lure Hu'?" ”

Ping Luo was shocked, shook his head again and again, and said: "This method of yours is causing the disaster of the country for the imperial court!" No, no. ”

Yuan Guang said angrily: "It's not my Hu Yi's country!" Where's the trouble? Why not! ”

Ba Ruoneng said: "Yuanguang, you have been bold since you were a child, I know you are a wolf cub, but I didn't expect you to be so bold!" ”

Yuanguang's words, just thinking about it made Ba Ruo's heart tremble.

The big war together, the swords and guns have no eyes, but they don't distinguish between Hu Yi, even if Dingxi loses the country because of this, or their vitality is greatly damaged, can they Hu Yi be preserved alone? There will also be heavy casualties. Moreover, Rouran and Pu Qin are both powerful clans and countries, which led them to the Longdi, and the Qu Department and Lu Shuihu are not the same, do they have to bow down? What other benefits could there be?

Ba Ruo Neng simply stopped asking him, picked up Koji Zhu's words, and asked him, "In this way, do you agree to obey the order of the king?" ”

Koji Zhu said, "Let's take a look first." ”

"Take a look first?"

"Look at the situation, and then make a plan."

After discussing it for a long time, Baruo decided to adopt Koji Zhu's opinion.

Compared with Yuanguang's radicalism and Pingluo's blind obedience, this opinion seems to be the most old-fashioned.

Yuanguang was furious, but there was no way.

He went out and said to himself, "My people will be overthrown!" My house will be destroyed! "We must not sit idly by.

He calculates what to do.

The Tutu Department is reckless and unscrupulous, and the Lelie Department and the Deer Root Department also have their own irritable small rates.

Thinking of this, he had an idea and thought: "When I return to the ministry, I will send people separately to provoke them and make them fight against the county order!" ”

Although the majority of the Tutu Department is now in the county, the county is Xin Er's territory, and under Xin Er's nose, he does not dare to provoke.

You have to wait until you get back to act.

And Qu Yuanguang selfishly hoped that it would be best to attract the county government to send troops and fight a few battles, hoping to change his father's mind.

For two days in a row, a banquet was held night and night.

On the third day, he summoned the four chiefs and told them that Linghu Feng had an order to "collect Hu Tun herds", and told them: The imperial court is benevolent, pity that the pastures of Heihe are not enough for Hu herding, and are ready to take out 500,000 acres of fertile pasture land and let Hu Luo migrate in; No ministry is allowed to stop those who voluntarily migrate inward. If there is any violation, it will be severely punished.

Except for Ba Ruoneng, the other three chiefs didn't know about it before, and they were all surprised when they heard it.

Xin Er didn't give them a chance to react, and ordered them to go out of the city and return to the ministry that day.

The Hu people galloped on a hundred horses and left the north of the city; Three or four ox carts creaked into the east gate.
