Is it okay not to change?

Mu Dun rushed and beat violently back then, what was the result? It's not that a family is ruined, a country is ruined, and a family is ruined, just like a lost dog.

Now that he has finally come to someone else's territory like a dog, can he still rush and fight?

Obviously, it can't, if it continues like this, even the last remaining bit of strength will be slaughtered.

Mu Dun has become cautious, not only because of the need for his own survival, but also because of the form.

Soon, several people learned about the relationship between the party members and Datang, "Chief, the relationship between the party members and Datang has been inquired clearly." ”

"Tell me about it."

"This Dangxiang clan is actually not a big clan, and it has always been a Shunmin of the Tang Dynasty."

Shunmin?

Hearing this word, Mu Dun's heart was half cold.

"Shunmin? Since it is the people of Datang, what hope do we have? Mu said hopefully.

What Shunmin means is that the party has been revolving around Datang and taking Datang's will as their own will. In this case, is it still necessary for Mu Dun to join the party? Aren't you afraid of being taken as a prisoner by the party and sent to Datang?

"However, in the process of inquiry, we also found out that there is something wrong with it." Another subordinate said mysteriously.

Greasy?

There is a cat between Datang and the party, and this issue deserves attention.

"Let's see." Mu Dun said to his subordinates.

"Although the party has always been very deferential to Datang, it pays tribute to Datang every year. However, Datang did not take the party items seriously, especially the several states north of Datang sent troops to rob the party members at every turn, and sometimes robbed the party and the people. The party members were very dissatisfied with this, and the people on the border had already launched several uprisings. ”

Uprising?

It's all to the point of an uprising?

That's a lot of information! After hearing this, Mu Dun looked at his subordinates and said, "The party members have begun to revolt, so let——,'s go to the base camp of the party members." ”

After being on the run for so long, Mu Dun finally found a place for people to live, of course he was happy, although he didn't know what the outcome would be in the future, at least he didn't have to go hungry for the moment.

After a little inquiry, Mu Dun and the others knew the location of the leader of the party members, so they set off south with their men.

Dangxiang is one of the ethnic minorities in the ancient north, belonging to a branch of the West Qiang people, so there is the title of "Dangxiang Qiang", the Qiang people originally lived in the Yellow River area in the southeast of Qinghai further west.

During the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people began to move in large numbers to the area of Helong and Guanzhong.

Don't think that if these people migrate to the place where the Han people live, they will definitely live a life of male farmers and female weavers like the Han people.

Migrating from Qinghai to today's eastern Gansu and Ningxia, these party people still maintain their primitive living conditions, living a primitive nomadic tribe life that does not know the crops and the grass and trees.

Of course, the migrated Dangxiang people have not changed at all, and quietly, the Dangxiang people have also changed, that is, the original monolithic Dangxiang people began to divide the tribe into units, and the surname was used as the tribal name to decompose into eight tribes, including the Xifeng clan, the Fei Ting clan, the Xiang Li clan, the Pochao clan, the Ye Li clan, the Mi Bao clan, and the Tuoba clan, in addition to the black party item, the snow mountain party and other tribes. Among them, the Tuoba tribe is the most powerful.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Dangxiang people continued to move eastward, gradually concentrated in the eastern part of Gansu and the northern part of Shaanxi, and the time changed again, and the dynasties of the Han people were also changing, but the Dangxiang people hardly changed much, and they were still mainly scattered tribes.

Centralization has the advantage of centralization, that is, it is easy to manage; Dispersion has the advantage of dispersion, that is, the enemy's hearts are not aligned, and it is difficult to form a force against the Central Plains.

However, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty did not seem to realize this, and always had to rule and manage the party members according to their own inherent thinking, so they set up a feudal state in the area where the party members were concentrated, and appointed the chief of the party tribe as the state assassin or other official positions.

The state is not a state capital in the substantive sense, and the literal meaning is explained like this, "Custody, Ma Luotou also; 縻, 牛靷also", by extension, for enveloping control. The establishment of the state of detention began in the Tang Dynasty, and the policy of restraint was adopted for some remote ethnic minorities, recognizing the local indigenous nobles, making them princes, and incorporating them into the management of the imperial court.

Some of these states have the seat of the state capital, and some do not even have the seat of the state capital, since they do not even have the seat of the state capital, then there is no official setting like the Central Plains state capital, and it is purely a place that has always been autonomous.

In fact, this can also be understood, after all, the people living in these places are mainly nomads, and the nomads live in pursuit of water and grass.

Since there is nothing, is it a joke that Datang has set up such institutions in ethnic minority areas? Obviously not, Datang still has a role to play in setting up such institutions in ethnic minority areas.

They still have to bear some responsibilities, such as being loyal to the central government, providing army supplies as required, and so on. As the central ** of the Tang Dynasty, it is also regarded as part of the territory, and the document is "敕".

Suffice it to say, these minority areas can have a high degree of autonomy, but they must not be secession or independence.

When Mu Dun and others came to the territory of the party members, the leader of the party people was still the leader of the largest tribe, Tuoba Guiyan, who was not only the leader of the party people but also the governor of the Tang Dynasty.

Along the way, Mu Dun was thinking about how to convince Tuoba Guiyan. Although the party members at this time were oppressed by the Tang Dynasty, and there were constantly uprisings, after all, nominally speaking, the party members were still subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

Since they are subjects, of course, they cannot openly oppose their masters.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Mu Dun headache, that is, can the party leader Tuoba Guiyan take him in? What if that guy finds out his identity and gives himself to Datang in a hot head?

What a brainstorm!

After thinking all the way, Mu Dun and his entourage finally came to the so-called capital of the party members, Xiazhou City, the seat of Xiazhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the area of Jingbian in northern Shaanxi today.

Jingbian in the Tang Dynasty is actually not much different from today, and it is also a famous "three-sided" place, and desertification is very serious.

Of course, the desertification in the Tang Dynasty was seriously unsuitable for overdevelopment, and the first was that this place was already short of water, and the surrounding area was grassland except for the desert; The second reason is that because of the location of Xia Zhouzhi, there are many people and cattle and sheep in the surrounding area.

Under the combined influence of water scarcity and overgrazing, there are of course more deserts around Xiazhou.

In addition, the party members at that time had not yet returned farmland to forests with advanced thinking, deserts are deserts, and over time, more deserts have been produced.

However, the desert around Xiazhou does not affect the mood of the party members at all, what should be done, how to live and how to continue to live.

Didn't they think about moving their "capital" to a better place? For example, move south to a place closer to Guanzhong. I must have thought about it, but it is just a thought, and it is very difficult to put it into practice, or even hopeless.

Because Datang not only wants to rule them, but also guards against them, and dares to move south half a step, Datang's will definitely lift bricks and smash them.

Since there is no way to migrate to the south, what about the east, or the west, to the north?

Don't even think about it, to the east is the Turkic land, and those people are like wolves and tigers like themselves, and they want to occupy not only their own place, but also the place of others.

There is no need to go west, after all, the party members originally migrated all the way from the west to the east, and good horses don't eat back grass, let alone people?

Migrating to the north and finding a place with abundant water and grass to live, the party members also thought about it, but in the end they were vetoed by themselves, because the moon is more desolate to the north, and although the wind and sand are a little bit bigger, this place is close to Guanzhong, the henchman of the Tang Dynasty! is still somewhat influenced by Guanzhong.

What to do to the north, do you want to be with the wolves?

After thinking about it, thinking about it later, and finally the party members continued to stay in this place in Xiazhou. Although the wind and sand are a little bigger, there is no better place to go.

Xiazhou's life is not easy either!

Nominally, the party members are also the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and they pay tribute to the court every year for cattle, sheep, horses, wool products, etc., but the local officials do not take the party members seriously at all.

If you swallow your anger for a long time, you will have something wrong.

At this time, the leader of the Shan Xi Yuan and Zhe tribe came to Xiazhou, the capital of the party people, with a few shrimp soldiers and crabs left over by himself.

After all, this is a city built by nomads, although it is nominally called a city, in fact, there is no defense and security measures of the city at all, when Mu Dun led people into this city, the soldiers guarding the city did not even bother to look at him.

Maybe the two look similar, or they are dressed the same, or Mu Dun's temperament is too similar to them, and you don't need to tell that we are the same kind.

So when Mu Dun led people into the city, the soldiers guarding the city continued to chat and drink, and one of them obviously drank too much and lay down at the foot of the city wall and fell asleep.

O my God!

The capital is such a defense.

Aren't you afraid of the enemy coming?

Mu Dun was both surprised and surprised, but also had a kind of sadness.

The defense of other people still exists, but where is their homeland?

Hey——, it's easy to talk about!

Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's go into the city and talk about it.

So Mu Dun led a few of his subordinates into Xiazhou City, the capital of the party.

In any case, Xiazhou is also the capital of the party people, so the people's urban construction also maintains their national characteristics, the streets are not wide, and the simple shops built of tents on both sides are full of the daily necessities of the herdsmen, such as saddles, whips, bridles, and felt mats made of wool. Of course, you will occasionally see items such as tea and pottery from the Central Plains.

Not far away, the sheep are singing and the horses are singing, and the voices of people are boiling, has someone moved their own sheepfold here?
