The Bamiyan Buddhas are so famous that someone has heard of them long before they traveled, but it is a pity that the Bamiyan Buddhas were blown up by a band of anti-human fanatics in the time and space where he was - and even the best efforts of the international community could not save these exquisite works of art hidden deep in the Bamiyan Valley.

Bamiyan is located in the hinterland of Tocharian Province, the Tang Dynasty called it "Fan Yan", also known as Fanyang Kingdom, Wangyan Kingdom, this is the name of the Sinicization, Tianzhu Feng is called Fanyana Kingdom. Located on the Tongyi Avenue from Gandhara to the ancient Tocharian Kingdom, the Wei and Jin dynasties used trade routes to civilize China and the West. The capital of Bamiyan County, Phan Yang Fort, is surrounded by a valley with wheat cultivation and animal husbandry. When the Xia army conquered this place, a royal family was killed, so that after entering the city, the city was slaughtered for ten days, and less than 100 people survived.

The inhabitants of Fanyangbao are mainly Han Chinese, who live on trade routes. The valley floor outside the city was inhabited by farmers and herders, who had a very complex ethnic composition, including Han, Persian, Tocharian and Tibetan peoples, among whom the indigenous people were a branch of the Persians who spoke a language similar to Persian but not identical to it. Therefore, the Xia Ministry of Nationalism divided them into an independent ethnic group, the Hazaras.

With the stabilization of the situation and the strengthening of the control of the kingdom's regime, the Hazaras, who had been oppressed by the Pashtuns, the small overlords in the Hindu Kush Mountains, were given space and opportunities for independent development, and their population grew from 100,000 to 1 million. Therefore, 50 years ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs made another adjustment, dividing some of the 150,000 people with yellow skin, flat noses and flat faces into separate names as Huangbu Hazaras, and giving them some privileges higher than the indigenous people but lower than the Han people, such as the ability to enter the city to open shops, and the money tax can be used instead of the first night right tax.

Most of the Huangbu Hazaras converted to Lamaism, and they also sent people to the Song Empire many times to seek scriptures and laws. In order to defend their new faith, they consciously acted as guardians for the worshippers on this path, and reaped the benefits of making the tribe's cattle and sheep more prosperous—in fact, this was easy for the Xia Kingdom, and there were many breeding experts and animal husbandry professors in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences under the Ministry of Industry. For those tribes loyal to the kingdom, the Xia State has a way to let their cattle and sheep multiply, and there is also a way to cause a large number of livestock of those tribes with two hearts to die......

Now Fanyang Fort is still a fortress town, a railway winds through the city, the east and west sides of the cliffs are heavily guarded by the kingdom, one south and one north two gates are even more solid, such a pattern, suddenly let the visitors of the Song Kingdom think of a famous city in the Central Plains: Tongguan.

I think that Tongguan is also a famous pass since the Han and Tang Dynasties, but since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the sea has been leveled, the military significance has gradually declined, and the historical and cultural significance has slowly risen. Ancient battlefields in the past, tourist attractions today. And this bleak autumn wind is now Fanyang Fort, but it was affected by the turmoil in the north not long ago, and the scene of martial law was very solemn.

Cheng Qi noticed that the security of this railway station was very strict, with heavily armed soldiers swaying around on each platform, and different passengers exiting from different exits. The passengers in the first-class carriage were allowed to leave the country after simply checking the customs clearance documents and tickets.

The second-class carriage will be more troublesome, and they will have to be searched one by one, and if they see those of foreign blood, they will have to interrogate them a few more times. As for the third-class carriages, they were not allowed to leave the station at all, and it is said that it was an order from the county keeper that the third-class carriages were only allowed to stay at the station for a while, and then they were not allowed to enter the castle directly.

The three strangers took the first-class passage and quickly left the station under guidance. There is a large square in front of the station, and Shi Laoqi explained that the square in front of the station is not only for aesthetics, but more importantly, for the convenience of gathering troops, which played a more important role than economic when railway transportation was just emerging. And even today, the transfer of troops by rail is very important. In the recent counterinsurgency war in the north, the efficient mobilization of field armies through the railway transportation network was the key to the rapid defeat of the enemy by the Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, the square in front of the station is wide and large, and there is no superfluous decoration, it is bare like a military camp playground, and there are a few food stalls lined up in front of the door.

Bamiyan is a real land of bitter cold, and it would not even be able to feed its inhabitants if it were not for the trade routes. There are only a few crops that are unusually monotonous, and seeing a little green grass can make people feel informative for a long time. According to the local coachman, most of the residents in the city are veterans who were injured during the southern and northern wars with King Xia, and they have fought all their lives and are more familiar with life in the barracks.

After leaving the army, these veterans moved into a new home and started a new life with large bags of gold, silver, jewelry, and land deeds, and Uighur beauties and Turkic girls in their arms.

Two or three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the residents of the city still maintain the tradition of sending their children to join the army, and when they look up, the men are either veterans of the army or active soldiers in military uniforms. They walked on their own land with great confidence.

There are no tall buildings in the city, and in the center is a circular fortress, which is the office of the military and political chief, and is collectively known as the location of the yamen in the mainland. With this as the center, a number of streets are scattered like a radiation, there is a Confucian Temple in the direction of due east, which worships Confucius and his descendants, and in the direction of the west is the Wu Temple, which enshrines Jiang Ziya, Wei Qing, Li Jing and other ancestors who respected the king and expelled the Hu people. There is a stupa south of the North Railway Station, and the incense inside is very prosperous, and the women who are seeking children often burn incense in it.

There is a Taoist palace in the place of Nanguan in the south, and the incense is slightly worse, but the Taoist master doesn't care about this: love to believe in it, don't believe in it, don't bother me to ascend.

The faces of the residents of the city are mainly yellow, but they are still very different from those of the Central Plains. They have fairer complexions, higher nose bridges, and some have curly hair. According to ethnography, with typical Aryan origin.

In fact, who the aborigines of the Hindu Kush are is really a mystery to the world. Around the time that Tang King founded the Great Yi Shang, the Aryans who swarmed from the Hindu Kush Pass destroyed the ancient Indus civilization, followed by the Persians and then Alexander conquered, leaving behind the Greeks.

After the decline of the Seleucid kingdom, the famous Bactria (Greek) kingdom in Chinese history appeared. The current historians of the Xia Kingdom mark the time of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, and call the region before Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions Greco-bactria, which was a Greek state split from the Seleucid Dynasty, and should be called its original name, and the region after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions is called "Great Xia" or "Tocharostan", because at this time it has been ruled by the Dayue people (Tocharians).

After occupying this area, after repeated consideration, the Xia Kingdom of the Li family finally chose Xia as its national name, which also has two layers of claims.

The first layer is to show that he misses Youxia, does not finish his homeland, and is still a member of the Chinese system - without this claim, the two great powers of the Liao and Song dynasties may "respect the king" at any time, subvert or annex by various means, and occupy this extremely important land fortress.

The second layer claims to restore the territory of the former Bactria (Greek) kingdom, how big is this territory? The less official version is that as large Alexander's empire was, so should the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom. From this point of view, the entire eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea to the northern half of Tianzhu is probably a piece of meat targeted by the Li royal family.
