Section 348 The Qiang Question (1)
The next day, not long after Zhang Yue got up, a eunuch came to report: "In the waiting, Fan Mingyou, the captain of Huqiang, asks to see you!" ”
"Please!" Zhang Yue immediately became energetic.
After a while, Fan Mingyou came to him, the two bowed to each other, and after greeting for a while, Zhang Yue said: "I have always wanted to have a good understanding of the problems of the Xisaiqiang people with the school captain, I don't know if the school captain is willing to teach me?" ”
When Fan Mingyou heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed: "How dare you preach? But if the waiter asks, the last general will know, and he will know everything, and he will say everything! ”
Zhang Yue's request, for Fan Mingyou, was like a big pie falling from the sky, and he was dizzy.
In the past, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, but few important ministers were willing to listen to him talk about the problems of the Qiang people.
In the eyes of the country, the focus of attention has always been the Xiongnu and the Western Regions.
As for the Qiang?
Most people's impression is stuck in the era of more than ten years ago, when the Xiqiang rebellion was carried out in tandem, but was killed by General Li Xi.
In the eyes of the princes of Chang'an, the so-called Qiang people are about the same as the savages in the four counties of North Korea, just a disease of scabies, and they have nothing to worry about.
But only a general like him, who was on the front line of Qiang affairs, knew that the Huns might be a threat now, but the Qiang people would definitely be a threat in the future!
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhang Yue took the initiative to ask for an introduction to the Qiang people, he was immediately overjoyed.
I even feel like I've met a soulmate!
In this Chang'an city, Zhang Yue was the second high-ranking official in addition to his father-in-law Huo Guang to clearly show his vigilance and attention to the Qiang people.
Zhang Yue smiled and took Fan Mingyou's hand and said, "It just so happens that in recent days, this official has sorted out the intelligence and information about the Qiang people......
He led Pham Minh Huu upstairs to the Kanyu Room, where he lifted the wall covered by a curtain, revealing the map hanging from it.
This map is a map of the Hexi-Anding region that he got from Shangshutai.
It's not very accurate, but it's the best map of the area that can be found right now.
There is no way, the current Han family does not pay enough attention to the Qiang people!
The eyes of the state have always been aimed at the Xiongnu and the Western Regions.
The ministers of the court didn't think that the Qiang people could make any waves.
Some people even think that the Qiang people are just a lot of people, at most they threaten public order and want to rebel?
I'm afraid I'm looking for death!
The Han family doesn't even need to mobilize, relying on the righteous servants in the Huangzhong region, they can kill them all!
For now, that's not wrong.
The Han Empire in its heyday had enough strength to pinch down any enemy south of Junji Mountain and east of Gonglushui.
The Tuntian soldiers of the empire even planted the fields in the heart of the Huns.
As long as the Tuntian in the Luntai area yielded results, the Huns could only kneel down and wait for death.
As for the Qiang?
I'm afraid not many people are paying attention.
But Zhang Yue knew that the Qiang people would become a big trouble for the Han family in the future!
Even more troublesome than the Huns!
The Huns were enemies - against the enemy by any means.
But the Qiang people are in the territory of the Han family.
Not to mention the Han army, I'm afraid that even the Qiang people don't know when they themselves will suddenly have a hot head and decide to rebel.
Zhang Yue checked a lot of information and documents, and he found that this was indeed the case.
Most of the Qiang people were muddy before the rebellion.
Suddenly, one day, a Qiang leader slapped the table and said to his subordinates: Go, let's rebel.
So they rebelled.
Even I don't know why I rebelled and what I did when I rebelled?
If they are not resolved, the Qiang problem will continue to bleed the Han family.
Just like what happened to Maozi and Midi in Afghanistan.
Therefore, Zhang Yue was very concerned about the problems of the Qiang people, and he wanted to grasp as much intelligence and information as possible about this aspect in order to find a valve to solve the problem.
Can't let them go on so willfully AAAA anymore.
Whether it's slaughter or pacification, you must find the key to solving the problem.
"Captain Fan......" Zhang Yue walked to the map, pointed to it, and asked, "Please draw the main activity range of Zhuqiang for me!" ”
The difficulty of the Qiang problem lies in the fact that these guys have no fixed place to live and are fighting guerrilla everywhere.
Moreover, they are not the same as the Huns who live by water and grass.
The Huns lived on water and grass, at least with a fixed route.
The Qiang people simply don't have a fixed line.
If you meet someone on the way to migration, you will rob if you have beaten it, and run away if you can't beat it.
Generally, when two Qiang people meet, eight or nine times out of ten they have to fight.
If they win, they annex each other, and then after a while, when they find that they can't sustain such a large population, they divide into two more branches.
But the branch that split off was the suzerain.
In the past thousand years, let alone the Han people, I am afraid that the Qiang people themselves do not know how many species they have.
But the main Qiang tribes can still be basically separated.
Fan Minh You is a relatively deep expert in the study of the Qiang people - can it not be deep, he just cut down more than 3,000 rebellious Qiang people last year.
Fan Mingyou walked to the map, first made a mark at a point on the map, and said: "This is the Guardian Qiang School Governor's Office, and the city is lived!" ”
"The so-called Lingju City was built by General Li Xi back then, and the original intention was to appease the Qiang people and make them settle down ......" Speaking of this, Fan Minh You's face was more embarrassed.
There are two main intentions of the Han family to protect the Qiang captain, one is to appease, if you can appease the Qiang people, you can appease them well, let them settle down, don't make trouble!
But it is clear that this policy has so far had little effect.
Even if the Qiang people are appeased, once they change their leader, they may rebel at any time!
There are all kinds of reasons, and some even have no reason at all, that is, they want to rebel.
And this second goal is to isolate the connection between the Qiang and Xiongnu.
These two forces must not be allowed to merge!
Last time they merged, but they almost made the Han family anxious, and even the heads of the Qiang people were cut off seventy or eighty thousand, and Jingguan didn't know how many were built.
So far, this job has barely been done.
"In addition to Lingju City, the Han family's greatest deterrent to the Qiang people in this area is here......" Fan Mingyou pointed to a river valley about hundreds of miles away from Lingju City: "The Huangzhong righteous servants stationed here have been loyally fulfilling their promise for twenty years to suppress the Qiang Hu ...... for the Han Dynasty."
"Under the command of Captain Huqiang, the largest cavalry establishment is also composed of Huangzhong Yijun......"
"However, ......" Fan Mingyou said this, hesitated a little, and then said: "In recent years, the Huangzhong righteous servants have been quite subtle, mainly because the servants did not take over the meritorious servants on time as promised, and the quality of the materials allocated by the state and the salt traded also declined year by year...... Please report this matter to the Son of Heaven! ”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately became serious, nodded and said, "Captain don't worry, this official will definitely play the Son of Heaven in this matter!" ”
Huangzhong Yicong is now the most loyal thug and servant army of the Han Empire.
Together with Wuheng Yicong and Huiqu Yicong, they are listed as the three major sources of righteousness in the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Yue has always wanted to suggest strengthening the efforts to encircle and win them over.
It's just that there's no entry point.
Now, Fan Mingyou can be regarded as providing Zhang Yue with an excuse.
