Section 676 Tempering (1)

Looking at the Wusun Mission surrounded by heavy cavalry from a distance, Zhang Yue also quietly raised his eyes, observing the members of the mission from a distant foreign land, and looking at their appearance.

Because, Zhang Yue's own historical materials have always been a mystery to the racial problem of the Wusun people.

Judging from the unearthed tombs of ancient Wusun nobles, the bones and body shape of the tomb owners have obvious European symbols.

Yan Shigu of the Tang Dynasty, when he made a note on the Han book, also said in detail: Wusun is in Zhurong in the Western Regions, and its shape is the most different. Today's bearded people are blue-eyed and red-whiskered macaques, and they are also of their own species!

From this point of view, Usundang is a deep-nosed, high-eyed, red-haired, blue-eyed Europa.

However, the Han people look at Wusun, but this is not the case!

In the Han Dynasty document "Jiao's Yilin", the characteristics of the Wusun race were once described and said: The Wusun woman is dark and ugly, and has different desires!

From this point of view, it seems that the Wusun race should be a brown race similar to the third brother's family.

Jiao Yanshou, the author of "Jiao's Yilin", was an active "I Ching" giant in the Zhaoxuan period, a famous Confucian in later generations, and Jingfang, the ancestor of the Jing school of "I Ching", was his personal disciple.

And when Zhao Xuan was announced, the Wusun Kingdom was already the blood alliance of the Han Dynasty.

The exchanges between the two countries cannot be said to be frequent, at least very close.

Therefore, Jiao Yanshou must have been in contact with the Wusun people and studied them in depth.

Therefore, these two controversies about the Wusun people have been debated for a long time, and many historians have been fed.

Now, Zhang Yue looked up and saw that almost all the people of the Wusun Mission were wearing a peculiar felt hat and a sheepskin sewn jacket.

Tall and straight, almost the same as a Chinese man!

As for its appearance?

Zhang Yue pursed his lips and lowered his head, a smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

The controversy of the future generations can be put to rest at this time!

Because, the appearance characteristics of the members of the Wusun Mission in front of him can be called a hundred flowers blooming.

There were the deep-nosed, high-eyed, red-haired, blue-eyed, or black-haired brown Europas, the rough and low, thick and strong, and twenty or thirty brown people who looked thin and short, and looked dark-skinned.

"This seems to be the influence of the Yue Clan's westward migration......" Zhang Yue guessed in his heart.

The westward migration of the Yueshi clan had a long-term impact on the whole of Central and West Asia.

Not to mention, it eventually led to the emergence of the Kushan Dynasty and the Kushan culture.

The westward migration of the Yueshi people alone has disturbed the original power structure of Central Asia, West Asia and even South Asia, which is enough to write a paper of millions of words to elaborate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue raised his head, a little gearing up, and his eyes were even more eager to try.

The westward migration of a small Yueshi or the remnants of the crying father and mother who were beaten by the Huns moved westward, which had such a significant impact on the world.

What if the Han army marched west?

Not to mention changing the world, at least it can rewrite the history of Asia, right?

And the Han army wanted to march westward, go to a more far-reaching world, and create a more glorious history.

Just geopolitical considerations, Wusun is an indispensable and key link that cannot be missed!

And this little Kunmo, who came to Chang'an this time, is the top priority.

Whether he can correct his three views and transform his life is very important to Zhang Yue and the Han family!

Thinking like this, a smile overflowed at the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth, and then he lifted the ribbon and greeted the envoy, while raising the knots in his hand high, and said in a long voice: "Han Tianzi envoy, welcome the noble envoy of the friendly country!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed to the mission, bowing slightly, as a sign of politeness.

This is also one of the differences between the diplomacy of the Han Dynasty and the foreign diplomacy of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tributary system had been established, and the kings and ministers in power, in order to show the wealth and greatness of the Celestial Empire, often slapped their faces and became fat, so that many smart people took advantage.

Even in the late Qing Dynasty, he had been taught to be a man by the British and French strong ships and artillery, but he still refused to open his eyes to see the world, but buried his head in the sand as an ostrich.

even made a joke about the 'late Qing Su Wu'.

Han is not!

In the Han Dynasty, the foreign feudal tribute to the Son of Heaven, this is an obligation and a responsibility!

Pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven and pay tribute, this is the glory of the foreign domain!

Not a very close and important vassal state, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still unwilling to accept tribute!

Because in the Han Dynasty, after accepting the tribute from the vassal state, although there will be no reward, the Han Emperor has to assume the obligation to protect the tributaries.

If there is chaos or disaster in the feudal kingdom, as the suzerain, you must come to the rescue!

The so-called 'rise and destruction of the country, succession to the peerless', that's all!

For example, a few days ago, King Yelang and King Dian entered the dynasty to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven ivory, pearls, rhino horns and other things.

The Son of Heaven only gave the king of Yelang and the king of Dian fifty horses of silk and silk each to praise him.

And these two vassal kings are as happy as if they planted the Super Mark Six!

This is indeed a jackpot hit!

Because, it means that they hugged a thick golden thigh that couldn't be thicker!

Since then, the royal families of these two kingdoms have been guaranteed the safety of the Han family.

No one can destroy them, either internally or externally.

Unless, the rebels or foreign enemies can step over the corpses of the Han army!

In later generations, Shanshan, Cheshi, Wusun, and even the Xiongnu in the Western Regions were willing to be the good daughters of their fathers in the Han Dynasty because they tasted this sweetness.

The Huns were even more loyal to the Han dynasty than the Han people!

And for those who do not belong to the tributary system.

Han Chinese, basically, have only two attitudes.

The first is the Xiongnu and Dawan models.

The enemy, no matter what means of striking and attacking, is justified.

Li Guangli Tu Luntai, the continuation is like Tu Fule, many scholars and doctors, they don't even bother to discuss.

Yidi beasts, anti-Han lowly species, deserve to die!

The second is the form of curiosity, scrutiny, and spectatorship.

It is similar to the discovery of a new species in nature by later generations of biologists.

Wow, there is such a magical national system and culture? It's worth researching! If you can find something useful, you may be able to have some reference value for yourself!

The Western Han Dynasty had such an attitude towards body poison and Great Xia, and the Eastern Han Dynasty had such an attitude towards Anxi and Great Qin.

Wusun, on the other hand, is a gray area between these two models.

Han has something to ask for and a plan for.

However, because it is far away, the claws cannot be stretched out for the time being, and in line with the 'long-distance and close attack' thinking handed down from the Warring States Period, the Han family's attitude towards Wusun is both curious and intimate, and at the same time has hidden ambitions.

This ambition can't be done because of the temporary strength, so it is quietly hidden.

On the surface, he has great respect for Wusun and Wusun messengers.

But in fact, they are always looking for ways to infiltrate and influence.

In history, Chang Hui and Princess Xie Wu sang a double reed, successfully using Wusun's internal contradictions to dismember Wusun into two parts, making this powerful country that should have risen after the decline of the Xiongnu and even dominated the Western Regions.

But Zhang Yue didn't want to follow the old path, which had proven successful.

Because......

His ambitions are not limited to the Western Regions.
