Chapter 29: The Situation in the South (Part I)
Subi, Zhangxiong, Baoji, Annexed Country, Dongnu Kingdom, these somewhat unfamiliar names, when Li Zheng faced them, he wondered where the Tubo who was competing with the Tang Dynasty went???
After carefully studying the relevant information, Li Zheng finally understood that the so-called generation of male lords, the rural cadres who married Princess Wencheng, had not yet been born, and you must know that the original residents of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were called the Meng people. After the Warring States Period, some Qiang tribes, such as Faqiang and Mitang, gradually migrated to present-day Tibet. They blended with the local people, multiplied and developed, and this is how the Tubo people were formed. The establishment of the Tubo Dynasty in Tibet was carried out in the Yalong River Valley, and the unification of the yak tribes was called Qi Nie Qi Zampu. "Zampu" means a strong husband, and later became the honorific title of the Tibetan monarch. After the 8th Zampu Budai Gongjia, the Tibetan society achieved rapid development, and gradually transitioned from a primitive society to a slave society. At this time, the father and son of Dabuni Sai and Nangri Nonzan (that is, the father of the rural cadre) in Tibet gradually expanded their influence to the Lhasa River valley and had become a large force.
Li Zheng knew very well that the ultimate goal of this southward advance was to capture or kill Dabu Niesai and Nangri Lunzan father and son, and cut off the possibility of the rise of the Tubo Dynasty from the root, but the other countries could not ignore it.
Here it is necessary to briefly talk about the three most powerful countries here, such as Subi, Zhangxiong, and vassal states. First of all, Subi, you must know that from the intelligence obtained by Li Zheng, Subi "has ten thousand families", it can be seen that at this time, Subi is already a big country with more than 10,000 households, and the territory is vast, and it is a strong side. Due to the joint administration of the queen and the little queen in Subi, cracks gradually appeared, and the contradictions became increasingly intensified.
At this time, the Suvi queen Dagyal Wu lived in the old fort of Zogar, and the little queen Jibang Su lived in the Yuna of Sibhuerwa (north of Lhasa in later generations). The great queen Dajiawu was mediocre and arrogant and violent, and the auxiliary minister of Subi, Nian Jisong, admonished her, but was chased away by Dajiawu. Nian Jisong Nai secretly plotted to kill Dajiawu and defect to the little queen Ji Bengsu. The little queen was overjoyed, and rewarded Nian Jisong heavily. According to the intelligence, the wife of Nian Jisong acted arbitrarily and cruelly abused the slave households, which has aroused public resentment.
"This is definitely the best time to intervene, if the father and son of Tubo know about it, it will be a little troublesome!!" Li Zheng and the others agreed that the primary target of this southern expedition was the Subi country, and the civil strife in Subi was a good opportunity for Li Zheng and them to take action.
As for the two countries of Zhangxiong and the vassal state, the vassal country is close to the Shuchuan region of the Sui Dynasty, which cannot be moved for the time being, and what about Zhangxiong, it is unbelievable, the Zhangzhung Dynasty has a long history and is an ancient civilization dynasty that dominates the glory and prosperity of the snowy plateau. The ancient Zhangxiong Dynasty once unified the eighteen countries known as 180,000 tribes, established the powerful ancient Zhangxiong Kingdom in Central Asia, and experienced the influential eighteen generations of Zhangxiong Dynasty, when the Zhangxiong Dynasty was at its peak, it had a strong military force, a large population, and a vast territory. You must know that even the talented rural cadres have been forced to marry the Zhangxiong royal family, which shows that this Xiangxiong country is definitely not a country to be messed with.
In line with the principle of first difficult and then easy, the old lady eats persimmons and picks up the soft ones first, Li Zheng and they aimed at the Subi country, which was already in chaos in the country, so only a few months after the founding of the country, the Haixi country stretched out its claws to the plateau countries in the south, and a storm that swept the plateau began with Li Zheng's southern expedition order.
Li Zheng also knows a thing or two about the origin of the Subi people, and he remembers that he read a document in his previous life, which mentioned that the Subi people were from Xiqiang. The surname of Xiqiang Benjiang, after Emperor Yan, originated from the ancient Huxiang region. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty • The Biography of Xiqiang" records: "The book of Xiqiang comes from Sanmiao, and the surname Jiang is different. Its country is close to Nanyue, and Shunliu four fierce, three dangers of migration, and the southwest Qiang land of Heguan is also. As for the head of the river, it stretches for thousands of miles. The giver of the branch, the so-called Yugong dividing the branch. "Xiqiang comes from Jiang surnamed Sanmiao, belongs to the descendants of Emperor Yan, the ancient country of Sanmiao is close to Nanyue, Hunan, and the capital is in the area of Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, Changsha. Emperor Shun migrated the three Miao to the three dangers, that is, the southwest Qiang land of Heguan. Before King Yu opened the Xia Dynasty in Chongshan in Xiangxi, the representative country of Xiqiang was Xizhi. The Xizhi country mentioned in the "Yu Gong" is also known as the Cizhi or Xianzhi in history.
The predecessor of the Nasubi people was the weaving skin mentioned in the Xia Dynasty document "Yu Gong". The Fangguo of weaving, Kunlun, Xizhi, and Qusou is mainly composed of the Qiang people, the descendants of the Yan Emperor, and the Yun surname, the surname of the Yellow Emperor, and the Rong people. "Shangshu • Yu Gong" said: "weaving skin, Lu Wei, analysis of branches, canal search, Xirong Xu". Weaving skin, Kunlun, Xizhi, Qusou and so on were important countries in the West during the Yao Shunyu period. "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" said: Emperor Shun "Nanfu Jiaolu, Beifa, Xirong, Xizhi, Quxiao, Di, Qiang, Beishan Rong, Fa, Xishen, Dongchang, Toyi". "The Great Dai Li Ji • Five Emperors" said: Emperor Shun "Nanfu Jiaozhi, Dajiao, [West] Xianzhi, Quxiao, Di, Qiang, Beishan Rong, Fa, Xishen, Dongchang [Yi], Birdyi Yumin". Liu Xiang said to "Shuo Yuan Xiuwen": "Fu Jiaozhi and Dafa in the south, Xizhi, Qusou, Di and Qiang in the west, Shanrong and Sushen in the north, and Changyi and Birdyi in the east. Within the four seas, all Dai Di Shun's merits". Some areas where the weaving skin, Luwei, Xizhi, Qusou, Xirong and other countries were located formed in the Xia and Shang periods. Kong Anguo said in the "Biography": "Qiang is in Western Shu, Suo, Ji and Zheng are in Bashu, Lu and Peng are in the northwest, and Yong and Pu are in the south of Jianghan. "In the late Shang Dynasty, the Qiang State, which coexisted with the Eight Western Kingdoms, was mainly in Western Shu. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Subi people came from Xiqiang, mainly in Xishu.
During the Han Dynasty, the Subi Kingdom belonged to the 36 states that formed the Western Regions during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the 55 states of the Western Regions formed between Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty. According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, during the time of Emperor Wu, there were 36 kingdoms in the Western Regions. Han Wei placed the envoy and the captain to protect it. Emperor Xuan changed his name to the capital. Emperor Yuan also placed Wuji as the second lieutenant, and Tuntian was in the royal court in front of the Cheshi. Between Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, the countries of the Western Regions were divided into fifty-five countries. Later, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu, and the last countries were annexed by Shanshan. Qule, Pishan and other countries are under the control of Yu Yao. Yu Li, Shan Huan, Gu Hu, Wu Greedy and Leaving and other countries were destroyed by the car master. During the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, he ordered the generals to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, take the land of Yiwulu, and place Yihe Duwei to Tuntian, so as to pass through the Western Regions. All the countries of Yu sent their sons into the service. and Emperor Ming collapsed, Yanqi and Qiuzi attacked and protected Chen Mu, and the Huns and Cheshi surrounded Wuji Lieutenant. In the Han Dynasty, there was information that the Subi country was the Dongnu country.
