Chapter 214: The Han Wind Moves West

It is the first time that Hezhou has come to such a big official, and it has just been pacified for four years, and the government office has not yet been fully built.

Four years ago, Tong Guan led his troops to the battle, which caused a huge controversy in the DPRK.

In the end, Zhao Ji showed his absolute authority as the emperor, ignoring the advice of civil officials and doctors, and strongly advocating his own domestic slave Tong Guan to take command.

This is also the performance of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial power after a hundred years, and the result of this matter is also twists and turns.

The palace was on fire, and the civil officials took the opportunity to admonish, saying that this matter had put the eunuchs in charge, which caused a warning from heaven.

Zhao Ji hesitated and ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Lieutenant General Tong Guan tampered with the content of the edict and sent troops to quell the rebellion of the Hehuangbo people in one fell swoop.

Yang Lin walked into Hezhou, and his mind inevitably remembered that year, in Yangzhou, he and Cai Jingtong were three people, drinking and talking, and they made an appointment to advance and retreat together.

Now they are fighting separately, and they are embarrassed, although the three of them are not humble gentlemen, let alone the friendship of Zhong Ziqi Boya, but it is impossible to say that there is no old love.

The officials in Hezhou all had some excited looks on their faces, if Shaozai really said that he would use troops against the northwest.

For them, the border officials, it was an opportunity from heaven, because wartime inevitably gave them the opportunity to brush up their political achievements.

Even if it is to organize the people to transport grain, it is a credit, not to mention that the military soldiers in the northwest are not weak.

Yang Lin took up residence in the city of Hezhou, and on the same day summoned several Uighur generals in the Hexi army, who were happier than the Han Chinese when they said that they were supporting the Uighur thieves.

Sometimes, the hatred between the same clan is the deepest.

The Uighurs of Hexi generally believed in Manichaeism, that is, the sect of Fangla, which was introduced to the Central Plains from the Uighurs.

When civil strife broke out in the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs were borrowed to quell the rebellion, and the conditions for their expulsion were to allow them to go to the Central Plains to preach.

All Manichaeism in Jiangnan, that is, Mingjiao, was introduced at that time.

But the Uighur thieves who plagued the river were, like the Qarakhanid dynasty, believe in Isilan religion.

Satuk, the third Great Khan of the Qarakhanid dynasty at the end of the Tang Dynasty, defeated and killed his uncle Ogurchak with the support of the Isiran Mujahideen in the Transoxiana region, seized power and called him Bogra Khan. Soon after, with the support of Musirim's followers, he recaptured Henglos from the Samanid dynasty and subsequently captured Balasagon and largely established his rule over the western Tarim Basin, the Fergana region, and the Seven Rivers Valley.

Because of this, the Qarakhanid Dynasty, in fact, had a very iron relationship with the Arabs in West Asia, and was about to enter Tibet and the Uighurs at every turn, kill heretics, burn down monasteries, bully men, and do all kinds of evil, which is really a hegemon in the Western Regions.

The Hexi Uighurs, who had long since lost their national identity because of the suppression of the Western Xia, were still obsessed with religious issues, because their Qarakhanid neighbors regarded them as heretics and were ready to march east to destroy them at every turn, and they had a deep hatred for each other.

Uighur thieves also often slaughtered the Hexi Uighurs in the Hehuang area, and many villages and towns were artificially erased by them.

The seven Hexi Uighur generals came to the lobby of the government office with a smile on their faces, lined up in two rows and hugged their fists and said, "I've seen Shaozai." ”

The Western Xia Dynasty, which was in the middle of the Western Regions, was destroyed, and the Han Dynasty spread westward, and the Uighurs here were somewhat dressed as Han Chinese. In fact, the Hexi Uighurs have always been actively sinicized, and if it weren't for Li Yuanhao's forcible change to party costumes and hairstyles, they would not be any different from the Han in appearance.

"History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of the Uighurs" says: First, the Tang Dynasty married a princess, so the Uighurs called the Chinese Dynasty their uncle, and every time the Chinese Dynasty gave an edict, they were also called nephews. Five generations later, it was all because of it. Even the Qarakhanid Khan always called the Song Dynasty emperor "the uncle of the Han family".

The Uighurs have been immersed since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and when the current dynasty was prosperous, there were people who lived in Qinchuan as familiar households. Female unmarried people first communicate with the Han people, and they can match their types when they have several children who are nearly 30 years old. The matchmaker came to discuss, and the parents said, my daughter tasted a nickname with someone and someone, and more wins, and the customs are the same. Today, there are also people with deep eyes and no beard, and they are born with Han'er.

In other words, in the early generations of the Song Dynasty, their maidens were proud to have children with Han Chinese, and in the long run, many of the Hexi Uighurs were of Han and Uighur blood.

The Uighur girl was a Uighur beauty, very handsome and cute, and when Yang Lin and Gao Shanjiao chatted, they thought they were second only to the Qiang women.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Han culture of the Central Plains Dynasty was too much ahead of the world in terms of economy and technology.

Many foreign races are proud to borrow seeds from the Han Chinese, with Dongying in the east and Uighurs in the west. This enthusiasm is no less than the so-called Muyang dogs of later generations.

These Uighur generals have helmets hanging on their tops, helmets with red tassels and round-brimmed hats, left and right ear guards rolled out, body armor sticking out of the jaws, draped like dragons, a heart guard mirror on the front and back of the breastplate, abdominal armor like fish scales, a sagging knee skirt and robe, calves tied to the hanging legs, and a pair of combat boots under their feet.

There is no difference with the Han generals of the Western Army, and they are Han generals.

Yang Lin smiled, got up and walked to the hall, held the shoulders of a Uighur man led by him, and said with a smile: "Generals, I have heard about the fact that I have called you here this time. The Uighur thieves plagued the river and were not only the bandits of our Great Song Dynasty, but also the domestic thieves of your Uighurs. It's hateful that these jumping clowns are mysterious and difficult to catch.

You are all Uighurs, and you know their habits to some extent, so you must take the lead in this rebellion.

You can rest assured, I, Yang Lin, said it in my head, as long as the meritorious person gets the reward he deserves, even if he goes to Bianliang to find me, I will make the decision for you. ”

After speaking, he turned back to Lu Wang, the leader of his own army, and said: "All these Uighur generals will be allowed to go to my house, even if they go to me to drink, they will not be stopped." ”

Lu Wang's qi cultivation kung fu is stronger than Lu Qian, without the slightest discoloration, and he hugged his fists and said: "Obey, my subordinates remember." ”

The seven Uighur generals bowed deeply and said, "On behalf of the 270,000 Uighurs in Hexi, I swear to serve the young ruler and exterminate the Uighur thieves. ”

"Good!" Yang Lin praised it, and then said loudly: "Come on, bring out the wine, gold and silver, and give the generals a grand march." ”

The guards, who had been waiting for a long time, came out with cartloads of gold, silver, goods, and good wine, and the group was eager to beat gongs and drums to see off the returning generals.

Seven Uighur generals, their blood surging and their hearts stirring.

The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty have always been noble and arrogant, especially when it comes to military generals, not to mention foreign generals.

This time, there was a young ruler of the dynasty, but he treated himself like this, and this kindness was not in vain.

Yang Lin came with another fierce medicine, held the hand of the general Su Guli led by him and said: "When you make war exploits in the future, I should speak for you in front of the official family, and let the official family give the surname to the meritorious minister." ”
