As soon as the troops who had entered Beijing to repay their merits entered Bishui Pass, they watched in confusion as the officials in the Guanzhong area greeted them with singing and dancing, how did they know the news that Bingzhou had won the battle?

After asking carefully, I learned that the caravan of His Royal Highness the Prince had already transmitted the news to the Jingshi two days earlier, and the emperor ordered that the welcome ceremony must be carried out, and His Majesty would personally greet General Duan's victorious army!

The group drank the wine in a daze, and the people of Guanzhong, who were warmly celebrated, were sent into Luoyang City as if they were floating, and Liu Hong specially convened a court meeting to let these soldiers report their military exploits in front of the civil and military officials.

Obviously, Liu Hong wanted to boast of his exploits in front of hundreds of officials and achieve the goal of consolidating political rule. The other bigwigs are either happy to cooperate, or they pinch their noses and endure it.

At the same time, in the distant Hexi Corridor, the wind and sand blew the earth, and the tents of the Qiang people gathered sheep and cattle one by one in the sheltered valley and in the dry riverbed to escape the severe cold.

After hundreds of years of dealing with the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people have already changed from nomadic people to semi-farming and semi-pastoral people, and later Ningxia Autonomous Region is known as "plugging the south of the Yangtze River".

But the cultivation of the Qiang people is to burn a wasteland, and then it is up to God to scatter the seeds. This kind of extensive planting made the Qiang people deeply influenced by Sinicization and close to them, but they were unruly after all.

The Qiang people live separately by caste and ethnic group, the leader is the handsome, and the totem is the sheep, and the Qiang people also come from this totem, in fact, not only the Qiang people and the Han people are full of contradictions, but also the Qiang people have great internal disputes, and there are countless feuds and grievances, life and death.

In fact, it is still very simple to control the Qiang Chaos in Liangzhou, and it is an eternal truth to pull one faction and fight another. But I don't know which Han master patted his head and drew all the Qiang people in one race.

The Qiang people, who were originally in constant internal conflict, stopped after hearing this statement, oh, it turns out that we are an ancestor and a people!

In this way, the Qiang people with constant internal conflicts gradually harmonized, and the corrupt officials of the Han Dynasty simply regarded the Qiang people as two-legged beasts that grew up.

In a large-scale tent of the Qiang tribe, two drunken strong men walked out. One is the Qiang people, and the other is the Taishou of the Han Dynasty.

It is an incomparably miraculous thing for two people who were originally hostile and contradictory to sit together and drink.

The Qiang people beat the shoulder of the Han Dynasty Taishou: "Zhong Ying, you are our Xiqiang people, forever friends!" However, Liangzhou Thorn History, those dog officials are too much of a thing! ”

Although the Taishou was a civil official, he had well-developed muscles and a strong body. His thick arms were powerful, and he wore two quivers on his left and right, allowing him to shoot left and right while riding a horse!

"Ortai, my good brother, we knew each other at my cattle slaughtering banquet back then, I know your difficulties, brother, but they are my colleagues, and some of them are my superiors, and I can't interfere with them."

Taishou's tone was a little helpless, he was a person from Liangzhou, a good young ranger, coupled with superb martial arts, and made friends with many Qiang people.

The most important point of the repeated rebellion of the Qiang people is actually the discrimination of the Han people and the wanton oppression of the Qiang people by officials!

Even in the literati's books, the appearance of the Daoqiang people is described: "The appearance is extremely terrifying, not like a living person"

However, we can see from the Qiang people in later generations who established the Dangxiang people of the Western Xia, and from the few words describing the Western Xia, that the customs of the ancient Qiang people are only different from those of the Han people, and their appearance is not too different from the Han people.

In the process of gradual sinicization, the Qiang people gradually departed from the totem of the revered "sheep" and learned to farm, while the greed of officials and the desire of the wealthy made them become the slaves of the landlords and the shadow of the wealthy people.

The harvest of their hard work for a year is all in their pockets, and where there is oppression, there will be resistance!

Emperor Heng once asked Duan Cheng, why can't you forcibly suppress it, Zhang Huan and Huangfu Gui's recruitment and rebellion still can't solve the problem of hundreds of years of chaos?

Duan Cheng didn't dare to answer, he was a native of Liangzhou, and he knew that the interests involved were so deep, once he rebounded, he would be killed.

So the answer he gave was "kill"! This is a helpless answer, even if Duan Cheng knows how to fight again, he can't deal with the most complex and fundamental problems of a decaying empire in the dark.

"Jincheng guards Chen Yi too much, and Captain Leng Zheng protects Qiang, phew, it's all dog stuff, miscellaneous!" Ortai gritted his teeth as he said this.

In order to curry favor with Shangguan, Chen Yi and Leng Zheng concealed the disaster regardless of the life and death of the Qiang people, and instead forced various tribes to offer cattle and sheep.

It has not been a few years since Duan Cheng swept away Dongqiang and kicked Xiqiang, and everyone can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, but the tribes can only live a tight life this year, and they have to throw away the old, weak, sick and disabled clansmen, so as to barely ensure that the rations can be maintained until the season when everything recovers in the beginning of spring and the cattle and sheep grow.

Dong Zhongying said sincerely: "Ortai, I came here this time for another purpose, I know that you are having a bad time, so brother, are you willing to move the tribe to the territory I govern?"

"This ......," Ortai hesitated.

"Many tribes have migrated to Hexi, my brother, although the grass is not fertile enough, I promise that I will not take advantage of you like those people!"

The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, this is a story recorded in "The Book of Rites: Under the Tan Bow".

When Confucius and his disciples passed by Mount Tai, they met the story of a woman with a miserable background. The tiger infestation was severe, but because of the harsh tyranny of the monarch in other places, she and her relatives preferred to live here forever, so that many people were killed by tigers along with her relatives, and she was the only one left crying over the graves of her relatives.

Confucius's thoughts and learning are not not great, but later monks read the scriptures crookedly, even if Liang Qichao Kang is a constitutional monarchy, he can still find a basis from Confucius's thoughts.

Can you also find out from Marx the idea of long live autocracy, cough cough cough ......

Ortai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my brother, I hope you can accept my clan, the sword of the Ortai will always point in the direction you command!"

Dong Zhongying beat his chest fiercely: "Of course, with my still beating heart, I promise that we will always be brothers!"

"Brother!" Two pairs of big hands clasped tightly together, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Dong Zhongying said goodbye again and again, and Ortai gave Dong Zhongying the best horse in his own tribe, and after walking for a long time, Ortai and the others could still be seen waving goodbye on the hillside like a small dot.

Finally, when he couldn't see anyone, Ortai returned to the tent, and his wife noticed that something was wrong with the futon that Dong Zhongying was sitting on when she was cleaning up the leftovers.

Ortai opened the futon, and the yellow two thousand gold in it was quietly placed in the futon, and there was a slightly scribbled letter inside:

"Ortai, my brother, I heard about your difficult situation in Hexi, I came overnight, to you, you did not take out the mare's milk wine of the Orbor that you are proud of, even when roasting sheep, even if it is such a thin sheep, you can still hear the complaints of your younger siblings, I think you are not having a good time, these two thousand gold is our friendship, to help you get through the difficulties, please be sure to accept it, pay - Dong Zhuo!"

The tearful Qiang man Ertai took the letter, grabbed the horse, and chased Dong Zhuo, except for the white snow outside the tent, there was only the silent cold wind whistling by...... But the letter on his chest made Ortai extremely warm.

"Brother, isn't this something that can be negotiated? Why do you spend those 2,000 gold?" Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min asked puzzled.

"People who are stingy with money will never be able to achieve great things, and those who achieve great things should be informal!"

"What's the big deal?"

"In a few years, you'll understand......" Dong Zhuo said meaningfully.

Come on~
