1.177 The Queen arrives
Du Hu, in the former Han Dynasty, was an additional official. The present Han is a practical teaching.
The capital of the Western Regions, in His Majesty's system of selling officials, belongs to the category that does not have much oil and water to be fished, and the selling price is not high.
After all, most of the high-value 'fat gaps' are in the Kanto region.
The position of Liangzhou Thorn History, which ranks 2,000 stones, only sold a piece of calamus wine. You know how desolate the land of Kansai should be today.
It is similar to the price of one room in later generations. His Majesty's selling of officials is also one official and one price. The economic principles contained in it really made Liu Bei, who has a wisp of memory for later generations, admire.
The Western Regions are protected, although the value is low in the eyes of His Majesty, and there is no oil and water to fish. However, in the eyes of the fifty countries of the Western Regions, there is a big difference.
The promotion of Changshi to the protector of the capital is a sign of the Han Dynasty's re-mastery of the Western Regions. The first protector, not surprisingly, was Liu Bei who pacified the Western Regions.
Liu Bei was born in a royal family and is a descendant of the Zhongshan king. The Great Han sent a member of the royal family to be the first protector of the Western Regions. This shows the importance attached to the countries of the Western Regions.
Why is a prince with a fiefdom able to take on the responsibility of protecting the capital? The reason is that official titles and knighthoods are different in nature. Titles can be lifelong and hereditary. As an official, it is only three or five years. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is basically no possibility of re-election.
Even if his merits are greater than his faults during his tenure, it is impossible for Liu Bei to serve as the protector of the Western Regions for a long time.
Even if he can stay as far as he goes, he will do his duty and serve the empire for more than 30 years. As a prince with a fiefdom, how could Liu Bei be away from home for thirty years?
Liu Bei also explained it in the statement sheet.
The Western Regions were initially decided, and the people's hearts were not stable. I am willing to protect the Han Dynasty for one term. When the hearts of the people in the Western Regions are attached, they will return to the Central Plains and reunite with their families.
The Western Regions are far away from thousands of mountains and rivers. In the eyes of the princes of the imperial court, it is an uncivilized and barren enclave. The Marquis of Linxiang volunteered to garrison the border and garrison the west for the imperial court. Brave and loyal, you can show the sun and the moon.
If you just want to sit back and enjoy the wealth. Why not return to Luoyang? Again. It is 300 miles of hometown, and it is far better than the western regions of the border.
In other words. Liu Bei went to the table and said that he was willing to protect the Western Regions. No one thinks that he is taking advantage of him for his own selfishness.
In fact, it is.
Liu Bei fell to Guanxi, in order to let go of Sect Master Zhang in the chess game of the world. Yan Dahan 400 years of national ancestry.
Such a minister of the humerus, if he is not rewarded for his merits, doesn't it make the people of the world chill.
Liu Bei is now a county marquis, and then he is the county king. The princes and kings can face the north and call them lonely.
And multiple lines are added. If you crown a king in a different place, you will change your title. Three hundred miles to the hometown, it must be handed over. The family moved to a new fiefdom. Linxiang is where Liu Bei's hard work is, from a piece of Baize to a million people, how difficult it is. Just donate money to pay 10 million every year, which shows how rich it is.
In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.
Rising and falling. Fake and real.
If the court does this, it will be criticized by the whole world. Even these existing princely kingdoms will not be willing.
It is expected that when the township is the axis, and several counties are around, a new county will be established, and the country will be added. Whether the country name is Linxiang or not, it is not certain. After all, Linxiang is just a county. If a number of counties are merged, they should be given a new name.
These things are done by the princes of the imperial court. There is no need for Liu Bei to worry about it. At this time, Lord Changshi, who was far away in the Western Regions, had received a report from the ranger riding a fast horse.
In other words, a migration army of 100,000 people has crossed the green collar a few days ago and is coming towards Zhenzhong City.
Liu Bei was overjoyed.
I am afraid that there will be many people and chaos. Then he sent two righteous brothers to lead his elite cavalry to Zhenzhong City, and did not mention the protection along the way.
After crossing the green ridge, the terrain gradually flattened. The mules and horses strengthened, and the caravan sped up. The elderly, the weak, and the young all drove the car, and the casualties dropped again and again.
After three more days, they have met the Oasis patrol scouts. Knowing that it was a team of slaves and mules, the scouts rushed back to report.
Soon, elite cavalry arrived to protect them. At sunset, camp in the oasis outside Zhenzhong City. The guards also wore shackles for the slaves. Prevent running away at night. Amazon is no exception.
"Queen, is this the city where we are going to fight the beasts?" Ashivaya looked at the long walls of the city with a light of awe.
"I don't know." The queen is taking Silver Bear Sylvia from the breastfeeding Amazon.
But all the Amazons who have given birth only need to drink the herbs prepared by the high priestess, and they can re-lactate whether they are pregnant or not.
From the scientific point of view of future generations, this is not so inconceivable.
Sucking stimulates the mammary glands and even re-lactation is also often recorded.
As an all-female fighting nation. Fighting while breastfeeding is also the norm. My mother was killed in battle. The daughters will be raised by the tribe. There will definitely be a similar galactagogue.
Right.
"I heard. The owner of the oasis is a hero with the blood of the Eastern royal family. Ashiwarya added.
"The word hero has been used badly, Ashiwarya." The queen gently placed the baby girl in the cradle and sang a melodious lullaby in a low voice.
"I wish we could be freed sooner. Let Sylvia's generation run freely under the starry sky. Chase prey on the oasis. ”
"Yes." The Queen's eyes sparkled with stars.
Unexpected. The slave team did not enter the city. Instead, continue along the oasis.
Amazon asked the guards.
Say, to go to the destination of the trip. The city where the owner of the oasis lives.
Could it be that the big city behind him is just an ordinary one on the oasis?
Along the way, it did. City after city. The scale is large and small. but they were all surrounded by walls. There is also an icy moat outside the city.
"Oh my God, all of them live in the city." Ashiwarya looked amazed. In terms of urbanization rate alone, Dahan is unmatched.
"The oasis is far from the mountains, and there are not enough stones." Ilia hears a legend: "They can build strong walls out of clay." ”
"Dirt?" Even the queen was suspicious: "Could it be that these towering walls are all made of mud?" ”
"I heard that they can also build tall and ornate palaces out of wood." Illya shrugged, "It was with the walls made of clay, the arrow towers made of wood, and the magical cross-arm bow that defeated the 100,000 army of the Nameless King. ”
"Is it really as rumored to be? A wizard of the East, with magical magic? The queen laughed, "If that's the case, I'm really looking forward to it." ”
"Queen, distant oasis, reminds me of the more distant Greek city-states." The High Priestess was the most learned of the clan. After moving eastward, the Amazon lost almost all of its historical texts. The High Priestess is the last heir to these texts.
"Greece died at the hands of Rome. The reason why the distant oasis was spared under the iron hooves of the Nameless King of Kushan was that it was protected by the Eastern Empire. After a pause, the High Priestess added, "I wonder why the mighty Eastern Empire would allow a loose oasis city-state to exist. Shouldn't a unified city-state be stronger? ”
"Perhaps. The answers you want are all in the cities where the oases live. The queen smiled.
Then he asked, "What is that city called?" ”
"It's dry." Ilea replied.
