Chapter 147: Wanzhou



The state is also known as the Western Regions, in the old Han Dynasty, Zhang Tong Western Regions, Emperor Wu soldiers chased the Xiongnu to the domain capital to protect the management, but at that time it was just to contain the Xiongnu militarily, and out of the mentality of the Heavenly Empire, declared the hegemony of the Han people over the Western Regions, the actual masters of the Western Regions are still those independent countries, and the Great Qin from the founding of the country, it has increased the trade on the Silk Road, in order to monopolize the Silk Road trade, the Great Qin launched the conquest of the Western Regions after the founding of the country, and completed the complete control of the Western Regions, And Wanzhou is the official title of the Western Regions after it belonged to Great Qin.

In order to completely integrate the Western Regions into the administrative system of the empire, when the Great Qin Army conquered the Western Regions, it was ruthless to the ** teams that resisted, and did not accept any surrender, and all the ** teams that stepped on the battlefield were all slaughtered, although this almost cruel practice was criticized by the Confucian scholars in China at that time, but it had long-term benefits for the future rule of the empire.

A large number of middle-aged men were killed, so that the immigration plan after the Great Qin could be carried out smoothly, so that the Han people had an advantage in the number of the Western Regions, and then intermarriage and integration, one hundred and fifty years of sinicization, in the Western Regions, the aboriginal language and culture were completely destroyed, those who were either blue-eyed and brown-haired, or blue-eyed and blond-haired Wanzhou people would stubbornly think that they were Han, and their abnormal eye color and hair color were considered by them to be the legacy of the Chinese ancestors in ancient legends.

In short, the people of Wanzhou have never felt inferior to their hair color and pupils, they will only be annoyed that they are mistaken for the white barbarians of the western Haixi, and the people of Wanzhou have proposed to Chang'an several times that all foreigners who do not have Han nationality in Daqin should not wear Hanfu, so as to distinguish the difference between the white barbarians of the western Haixi and them. It's just that their suggestions are always rejected, so the people of Wanzhou will be angry at the white barbarians who are mistaken for Haixi by people elsewhere. Usually the hot-tempered will use their fists and feet to tell those who offend them that they are Han Chinese, Han people in the truest sense of the word, and they are not white barbarians who speak bird language.

Murong Ke encountered such trouble, he didn't understand why his words asking for directions would make the person being asked so angry. Looking at the few blonde foreigners with their sleeves rolled, Hu Luguang stood vigilantly beside Murong Ke.

"You bastard, listen to me, uncle is Han, Han, do you understand?" Zhang Sheng looked at the young man in front of him asking for directions, and almost gritted his teeth and said, if it weren't for the two people in front of him wearing military uniforms, he would have punched him a long time ago.

"Where you're going, go straight. The third street corner is. Stopping his companions who wanted to do it, Zhang Sheng still answered Murong Ke's question. Wanzhou people have the pride of Wanzhou people.

Seeing the group of people leaving the place in a huff, Murong Ke looked at nearly half of the foreigners on the street, and couldn't help frowning, "Hell, how come there are so many foreigners in Wanzhou." His complaint happened to be heard by a black-haired man walking on the side, so the enthusiastic Wanzhou man told him about Wanzhou. only then did he understand.

"Damn, why isn't this recorded in the Great Qin Chronicles?" After hearing this, when Murong took Hu Luguang to the place where Xun Rizhao landed, he kept complaining, in his opinion, those Wanzhou people and the white barbarians in Haixi did look no different, but their facial features were softer.

Xun Rizhao has been dealing with a large amount of intelligence since he settled down in Wanzhou with the dark cavalry battalion, after all, the six countries in the river have always been loyal to Great Qin, although they want to get rid of the characters in the six countries who have been bought by the Persians this time. However, some of the figures of the Six Kingdoms who would hinder Great Qin in the future were also eliminated.

Dealing with these people is the real trouble. Xun Rizhao had to read all the information of the Anxi Protectorate on the Six Kingdoms, and at the same time sent his own people to investigate the target person. Looking at the intelligence information in front of him, which was still as high as a hill, Xun Rizhao couldn't help but sigh, before Li Ang came back, he must first master all the information of the six countries and the target person, so as to help Li Ang to the greatest extent and complete the mission of the dark riding camp.

"Mr. Xun, Lord Murong is back." knocked on the door, the soldiers of the dark cavalry battalion said outside the door, for Xun Rizhao, the soldiers preferred to call him Mr. rather than adult, and he himself preferred this title, he always felt that the title of Lord was not suitable for him, and he did not belong to the battlefield, although his martial arts were not bad.

"Please." Putting away the paperwork on the case, Xun Rizhao sorted out the somewhat messy instrument and stood up, "What's wrong, is there anything you want me to do." Seeing Murong Ke and Hu Luguang who walked in, Xun Rizhao frowned and asked, Murong Ke and Hu Luguang's dusty appearance was obviously in a hurry, and they didn't have much rest along the way.

"This is what my lord asked me to pass on to you." took out the chapter from his arms and handed it to Xun Rizhao, Murong said, "My lord plans to build a city in the desert, exterminate the horse thieves, and deter the Tiele people from going to the Turks in the future." ”

Listening to what Murong Ke said, Xun Rizhao looked at the chapter, and soon his face changed, and suddenly closed the chapter, he said to Murong Ke and Hu Luguang, "You come back from afar, rest first, this matter can't be delayed, I will do it immediately." With that, he asked the soldiers to take Murong Ke and Hu Luguang to the backyard, and he himself directly asked people to prepare horses and go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Running all the way, Xun Rizhao also had his own understanding of the situation in the desert in his mind, he thought further than Li Ang, Li Ang only decided to suppress the Tiele people from the perspective of defense, and he thought that Tiele was very likely to have an agreement with the Turks, or that it would be more appropriate for each to take what he needed, and the alliance between Tiele and the Turks would be a trouble for Daqin.

Show the military card, Xun Rizhao went straight into the military aircraft of the Anxi Protectorate, as the Anxi Protectorate who governed the entire river, its military strength can be said to be the least affected by the cabinet in these years, and the generals of the Anxi Protectorate have always been known for their violent tempers, just like the three heroes of the Western Army, in addition to the people of the Zhao family who are more reasonable, the people of the Lu family and the Ma family make trouble, and even the military hall can't bear it, and in fact, In the past, the military hall often borrowed the people of the Lu family and the Ma family to resist the cabinet's comprehensive disarmament of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

After reading Xun Rizhao's handover of the chapter, Lu Song, the governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, stood up. Looking at Xun Rizhao and said, "Do you think Tiele may have formed an alliance with the Turks?" Can you guarantee this speculation? ”

"Governor, last year's iron

The Falcon coalition fought with the Turks for half a year, and as a result, most of the people and horses were lost. Xun Rizhao straightened his body and kept himself indifferent in front of the most terrifying governor of the Western Army. Even if Tiele did not form an alliance with the Turks, it is very likely that in the future, in the name of the Turks, they will ask our DPRK to become the actual masters of the desert, and our DPRK will rely on them to maintain enough pressure on the Turks, and the Turks will try their best to win them over and relieve the pressure on the Western Front. ”

"It is worthy of being the descendant of Xun Yu of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, in terms of planning and analysis, this has always been your Xun family's strength." Lu Song clapped his hands. "But your Lord Li is more pragmatic, and Great Qin will never allow any threats to appear." Pick up the movement. Lu Song handed it back to Xun Rizhao, "Write a copy to the cabinet, the tone is softer, although the people of the Legalists are not as stinky as Confucianism, but they still prefer the tone that follows their meaning." ”

"Yes, Master Xie." Take the recital. Xun Rizhao replied, he knew that with this Metropolitan Governor of the Anxi Protectorate handed it over, there would basically be no problem with what Li Ang wanted to do. After Xun Rizhao withdrew, Lu Song asked people to call Ma Jun over.

Ma Jun is a friend who served a sentence with Li Ang in Jade Dragon Fort, Li Ang didn't know his true identity until he left, in fact, the ancestor of Ma Jun was Ma Chao, the third member of the Western Army when Great Qin was founded, and was called the fierce general of Xiao Lu Bu by Emperor Taizu back then, for this matter. Ma Chao once made an appointment to fight Lu Bu, and finally lost by half a move. However, afterwards, he and Lu Bu became close friends, and the descendants of the two families have also been friends for generations and often take care of each other.

Ma Jun is one of the descendants of the Ma family's three direct descendants in the Western Regions, killed people in Dunhuang City a few years ago, and was finally assigned to Yulong Fort, where he was able to get acquainted with Li Ang, and then there was an unstable trend in the river, he was recalled by the family and became an officer in the tenth town of the Western Army, and he has done thousands of households in recent years.

"Dudu, you're looking for me." Walking into the inner hall, Ma Jun saluted, he was in the Western Army, and Lu Song had always taken good care of him, otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the official position of Qianhu so quickly.

"Your old friend is going to transfer troops with us, and I want you to help him." Lu Song looked at Ma Jun with a brave face, and thought of his son Lu Sheng, who was far away in Chang'an, and there was a little smile in his eyes.

"Old friends?" Ma Jun frowned, he didn't have many friends, and there was no one in it who could alarm the Metropolitan Governor of Anxi Protectorate, thinking like this, he looked at Lu Song suspiciously, "Governor, I don't understand?" ”

"You've forgotten your friend who served a prison sentence together in Jade Dragon Castle." Lu Song looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile, "People are amazing now, the military hall is directly under the dark cavalry battalion of thousands of households, and the authority they have is about to catch up with the captain, you have to work harder." ”

"It's him." Hearing Lu Song mention Jade Dragon Castle, Ma Jun remembered the young man who didn't talk much in his memory, and he looked a little cold, and then a little smile appeared in his eyes, Li Ang, of course he couldn't forget him, he was his best friend, even though they hadn't seen each other for more than two years, "Dudu, what's wrong with him?" ”

"It's nothing, he has nothing to do, and he plans to kill all the horse thieves in the desert west of Wanzhou and scare the Tiele people." Lu Song said lightly, "The Tiele people may not be at ease, so I want to remind them who is the real master of the desert, they are just the shepherd dogs watching there for the empire." ”

"I will assign a division to him, and you can directly listen to his transfer." Lu Song didn't wait for Ma Jun to come back to his senses, he had already made a decision, and he didn't need to ask for instructions from above for the transfer of less than 10,000 horses.

"Whoa." After receiving the military order, Ma Jun did not hesitate and retreated, he had thought many times, when he would fight side by side with Li Ang again, he thought that this day would be far away, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

Looking at Ma Jun who walked out, thinking of his excited eyes, Lu Song couldn't help but smile and sighed, "It's good to be young!" ”

Xun Rizhao wrote another note to the cabinet according to Li Ang's recital, and immediately ordered people to send them to the post station, and after sending them to Chang'an with 800 miles of urgency, he went to the Wanzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion again, after all, Li Ang planned to build a city and open a mansion in the desert, and he definitely needed officials to help manage it.

"You want to mobilize the officials of Wanzhou?" Hearing Xun Rizhao's request, Wanzhou Prefecture Mujiang couldn't help frowning, the young man in front of him had a special order from the military hall, and he could act cheaply in Wanzhou, after thinking twice, he decided to agree to his request, anyway, there are officials in various departments to be transferred, and the young master of the Xun family in front of him is not something he can easily offend.

"I don't know where Mr. Xun is going to transfer the officials first?" Jiang Zhuliu asked, since he plans to sell his favor to Juntang, then simply be a good person and help him do it to the end.

"I know that some time ago, a group of Confucian officials were belittled, and I want them to go to the border to educate those barbarians." Xun Rizhao looked at the state pastor in front of him and said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Xun's suggestion is good, those who learn Confucianism can't use it to govern the country, but it's really good to use it to educate barbarians." Jiang Zhuliu laughed, "Mr. Xun, don't worry, I will send the best people over there to educate the barbarians." ”

"In that case, thank you first." Xun Rizhao stood up and saluted, and then said, "Lord Zhou Mu, there is still a reluctant request below, can you ask your lord to transfer grain from the official warehouse, after all, those barbarians will be under the direct jurisdiction of the empire from now on, and they are also the people." ”

"Well, I know, I will allocate the grain, and I will be with those officials, but this escort along the way will have to ask Mr. Xun to find Governor Lu." Jiang Zhuliu is willing to allocate even officials, naturally he will not be stingy with the grain of that district, the most important thing in Daqin is food, you must know that the Kunlun slaves who have poured in Nanyang in recent years are all free labor, because of them, the price of rice has dropped by nearly one percent.

"In this case, then please ask the state pastor." Seeing that Jiang Zhuliu agreed, Xun Rizhao had no need to stay, so he got up and said goodbye.
