Chapter 20: The Song of Prosperity
This Wusun Ancient Road is also the Duku Highway second only to the Plateau Tianlu in later generations, with beautiful scenery and steep mountain roads. The original route was not intended to go here, but in the past two years, these soldiers have fought thousands of miles with themselves, killing countless people, and in order to reduce their psychological pressure, they chose this leisure road. The total length of more than 1,000 miles, all are picturesque mountain roads, this era is not overdeveloped, it should be more beautiful, there are more wild animals, the key is that there are no hateful telephone poles to disturb the scenery. Exactly by the standard of leisure, fifty miles a day, hunting and drinking were allowed on the march. When you encounter a scenic place, you have to rest for the whole day.
The journey was leisurely and leisurely, and every day each battalion would have a rotating hunting team through the surrounding woods. When encountering the herdsmen in transition, they exchanged grain and gold coins for a few high-quality fat sheep, and sang the songs of Ouyang Xuanjiao around the bonfire at night, dancing happily. There are Huns in the team, as well as Fuyu, Su Shen and Qiang, all of whom are good at singing and dancing, and spend every day in laughter.
Half a month later, we arrived at the Bayinbrook Grassland in the later generations, and the beautiful Swan Lake was not far from the north. Ordered the whole army to rest for another day, prepared some cattle and sheep sacrifices, and offered sacrifices in front of the tomb of King Nan and his wife by Swan Lake under the guidance of Wusun guide, and talked to King Nan in front of the tombstone of the stone man about his feelings over the years. For a whole day, I sat in front of the steppe stone man, as if chatting with a very speculative person, talking to myself. It was not until the sun turned west that he returned to the camp. The Usun Namkr tribe, who had been guarding the tomb for 40 years, was given 2,000 cattle and sheep, 1,000 stone of grain and 1,000 gold coins for repairing the tomb of King Nan. Regarding Ouyang Xuan's actions, both the pro-soldiers and the Huaxia army thought it was a reasonable thing, and the mystery behind it made them worship this pillar of Huaxia even more, especially those Huaxia generals who led the army.
In the former courtyard of the Southern King on the shore of Swan Lake, Ouyang Xuan summoned the patriarchs of various tribes in Wusun Tianshan, and now Mulan Buike has become the patriarch of the Hutu tribe, but he is much older, Ouyang Xuan saw him with a tight hug, so that this bloody man burst into tears, he and Wusun's Naiman tribe resisted the Xiongnu in the Tianshan Mountains for more than ten years, and the traces of Ouyang Xuan's life were well preserved. Hural, who is more than sixty years old and has not seen the old, saw Ouyang Xuan and knelt down directly on one knee to give a bow, and then a big hug, this is the first army trained by Ouyang Xuan, although there were only 25 people at the time, but it was these 25 people who protected the tribe and grew a little bit, and now it has become the most powerful Naiban tribe in the eastern part of the Western Regions, and the Naiban cavalry is a mighty army that makes the Huns tremble, because he was transferred to the eastern foothills of Altai Mountain by Kunmo, so that the Huns did not dare to cross the mountain pass for 20 years. Later, in order to avoid the Naiban cavalry, Yizhi made a detour to attack Dawan first, and attacked the Wusun tribes from the west foot of Tianshan Mountain in the Ili River Valley. Hural had to return to the Tianshan tribe with the Naiban cavalry to resist the Huns, which was more than ten years. Now he is in his sixties, and he looks about the same as the prime of his forties.
Ouyang Xuan patted Hural's shoulder and said in Kazakh: "My brother, how many soldiers and horses do you have now?" ”。
"Your Majesty, there are still 5,000 capable warriors in our department. Thanks to the divine envoys, the pasture is now fat and strong, feeding tens of thousands of people in the Nabarian tribe. If it is peaceful today, I will release the warriors of my wolves into the pasture."
"Well, that's fine. I will give you another better pasture, divide the grassland of the former Dawan people on the south side of the Swan Lake into half, give it to you, and give the other half to the Hutu department, so that I can take care of the tomb of the king of Nan for me. ”
"All the people of the Hurals have thanked the gods for their great kindness! We will live up to the trust of God." The old Mulan Bek also knelt down on one knee and thanked Hural for the reward. The following day, with the participation of Ouyang Xuan, Hural was elected as the elder of Southern Yuzi. Before leaving, Ouyang Xuan handed over the dongbula to the handsome guy's family and rewarded thousands of cattle and sheep. The army still walked slowly, and along the way, Ouyang Xuan went to the valley of the Nanwang Courtyard and the hot spring valley that is now known as the Wolf King Valley. Buick and Guli had an almost insane fascination with the area, and due to earthquakes and time, the hot spring water remained warm and lost its blue fluorescence. After wandering in the valley for several days, the army continued eastward and took the army to Tianchi once in the Cheshi Valley, explaining to everyone the description of Tianchi in ancient books. After traveling to the cities of Loulan and shopping frantically again, he walked the Hexi Corridor and stayed at the edge of the Baiwolfdui Desert in Dunhuang for several days before taking the train and returning to Xia Gu in December. After this journey of sightseeing, purchasing supplies, and communicating with people of all ethnic groups, the soldiers who had been in a state of war for two years returned to the crowd, and there was no anxiety and depression after the war, but they were very optimistic.
When he returned to Xia Gu City, he gave the soldiers a half-year vacation, leaving less than a hundred personal soldiers around him. He listened to the reports of the prince and the courtiers in the past two years, which made Ouyang Xuan very pleased. Maize, potatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts have been fully planted, and wheat varieties have been improved with the assistance of the Duliba people and have been fully planted, replacing the traditional low-yielding grains. I haven't dealt with the government for two years, and this time I came back, I had a lot of things to do, and I was busy all day long. The ocean-going fleet made several round-trips, established bases in Australia and Kezhou (now New Zealand), and began to migrate in large numbers, and the population of China has reached 40 million, more than twice that of the Han Dynasty, and the annual grain output is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people, so it has to order that the surplus grain be used to brew wine, soy sauce, etc. Encourage private sector food processing, R&D and production in the form of tax exemption and protection of intellectual property rights. Now a key problem makes Ouyang Xuan very headache, due to the changes in the social structure and land area, there are not enough officials, so he has to adopt Ma Ning's method, increase the amount without adding people, and double the amount of money. Due to the smooth trade roads with the Western Regions, coupled with the coverage of the railway network, commerce and trade in the Huaxia Kingdom were extremely prosperous, and the population of Guangxiagu City reached two million, and the city wall had to be torn down and reexpanded. Taxation has also shifted from being predominantly agricultural to predominantly commercial and industrial. In order not to make grain prices too low and hurt the peasants' interests, the government had no choice but to purchase a large amount of grain for sale and brewery. Nowadays, tea has been planted in a large area in southern Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong and Yunnan, fermented to make black tea, and then transported to the north to be sold to herdsmen for daily drinking to ensure good health.
In the face of a myriad of work, Ouyang Xuan's head was a little big, and he had to be classified and handed over to various departments to deal with it one by one. Ordered the province to strictly supervise and inspect, and finally completed the accumulated affairs before the year, and there was no time to talk to Liu Hui for a month after coming back.
In 112 B.C., the Spring Festival of the seventh year of China came as scheduled in the heavy snow, the cold wind was biting outside, the snow was flying, but the heat wave was rolling in the residential houses in various parts of the country, the herdsmen's winter nest adopted the brick and tile structure, using the technology provided by the Duliba people to improve petroleum refining, producing light fuel oil and non-burning heavy oil under the premise of protecting the environment, using the copper alloy technology of the Duliba people to make a closed heating oil stove, which was sold by the official to the residents of the north of China. Urban residents use central heating, and the boiler uses the heavy oil circulating heating boiler developed by Baiyang Gu, which only needs to be burned once a day, which can provide heat throughout the day, which greatly reduces energy consumption.
Of course, there must be a New Year's atmosphere, fireworks, firecrackers, after more than 20 years, it has now become a necessary material for festivals and weddings. Ouyang Xuan led four grandsons and two granddaughters, Ouyang Mao (-128), Ouyang Lu (-125, eldest granddaughter), Ouyang Qing (-123), Ouyang Heng (-120), Ouyang Zan (-118), Ouyang Ling (-115, second granddaughter), under the escort of his own soldiers, on the square in front of the gate of Huaxia Palace, watching the fireworks display with courtiers and ordinary people. The fireworks of all colors complement each other, and it is very beautiful and spectacular. The lights are shining with fireworks, and people of all ethnic groups spontaneously sing and dance in the square, giving people a scene of singing in a prosperous era, which makes some businessmen who come here from Han to do business have mixed tastes in their hearts, and makes the Han envoys embarrassed. The fireworks show reached the first hour, the light of the fireworks illuminated the sky, and the combined fireworks evolved into a thousand changes, Ouyang Xuan thought that it was better than the fireworks shows in later generations.
The year was over in the joyful atmosphere of all ethnic groups in Huaxia, and in the blink of an eye, Ouyang Xuan handed over all the power of government affairs to the prince, readjusted the army, and set up the Yulin Army, with Peng Fei as the general of Yulin, the governor of the headquarters military region, Feng Huagong, Dai Zhan as the governor of the Southern Military Region, Feng Yuegong, He Chan as the governor of the Qiang Military Region, and the Marquis of Liangshui. Huyan Leopard served as the governor of the Central Military Region and was named the Duke of Liao. The generals and soldiers who went out with this expedition were also promoted, and those who had reached the time limit of transfer were assigned to serve as military attachés of public security and garrison in the localities, and those who had not reached the age limit were appointed to the border passes of the Han region, and 50,000 people were finally completely assigned to serve in various military regions. The reserve pro-soldiers and the original pro-soldiers were combined to form the Yulin Army, and the entire Yulin Army reached 15,000 people. 5,000 people have been carefully selected as the training battalion directly under the country, which is responsible for selecting suitable candidates throughout the country to continue to train the reserve Yulin Army and undertake the training of officers at all levels throughout the country. At the same time, a large amount of money was taken out from the inner government to reward the soldiers at all levels who went out on the expedition, and the reward of land was naturally indispensable. After the army was reorganized, Ouyang Xuan took the Yulin Army to train, and then took a flying saucer to start looking for those lost Duliba people and various energy bodies.
In mid-October, Ouyang Xuan, who was drinking tea and chatting with Liu Hui in the pavilion, received the news that Liu Qi was critically ill from the inside of the Han Court. Hurriedly ordered someone to find an envoy from the Han Dynasty and wanted to go to Chang'an to visit the emperor. After the envoy repeatedly communicated with Chang'an Liu, it was agreed that Ouyang Xuan would go to Chang'an with a maximum of 5,000 personal soldiers. At the court meeting, the Chinese courtiers tried their best to persuade them, because of Liu Che's despicable performance in recent years, everyone thought that Ouyang Xuan would definitely fall into a trap if he went. Finally, Ouyang Xuan said: "I can have today, it is all the grace of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I can't help but repay it, and the songs of the prosperous times in China can be today because of the patience of the Emperor Tai back then, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is also the benefactor of my Huaxia Kingdom, and now he is seriously ill, and I have to sit idly by." I am absolutely meaningful, and the crown prince is in charge of the country. Heavy troops are assembled on the three fronts of the north, south and west, and once the Han family is unfavorable to me, they will be destroyed immediately and the surname Liu will be killed. Forgive him, the 100,000 generals of the Han family are not my 5,000 Yulin opponents."
On this trip, Peng Fei carefully selected 5,000 fully armed Yulin troops, all of whom were carrying assault rifles and long swords, and ten pairs of magazines. Waist across the toughness iron saber, short knife, crossbow arrows. * They are all sweaty BMWs exclusively supplied by Dawan, wearing camouflage uniforms and lined with soft alloy energy-absorbing protective armor developed by Duliba people. For these armors, Ouyang Xuan exchanged one piece of armor for one catty of super aggregate energy body for 100,000 pieces. Now these super-concentrated energy bodies, Ouyang Xuan has been looking for them, in August this year in today's central India (19.661987, 84.096222) in a diagonal valley found millions of catties, converted into the weight of the next generation, that is, less than three tons, identified by the Duliba people, the degree of aggregation is better than that found on the North Sea, the thick lead metal shell is intact, and it took several times to transport it back.
On this trip, Ouyang Xuan refused various rituals and scheduled to leave for Chang'an in five days. At night, with 5,000 heavily armed Yulin troops and engineers, they took three flying saucers and went straight to the valley where Ouyang Xuan slaughtered the giant beasts and the Hou Mansion to escape the disaster, and established a base there to reconnoiter and scout the Malay newspapers. Ouyang Xuan had to change the entrance of the tunnel to another shallow mountainous valley overnight. It took four days for the construction to be completed and the defenses were built with the tools unique to the Duliba people, and then they returned to the summer valley.
On the day of departure, under the escort of 10,000 Yulin troops, he went straight to Sanshui Pass. With the Han side of Sanshui Pass lined up to fire guns to the sky, Ouyang Xuan took Peng Fei and 5,000 carefully selected Yulin troops, and under the guidance of the Han envoy, went straight to Chang'an. When passing through Gaoping County (now Guyuan City), the Yulin Army lined up as a wartime marching army according to Ouyang Xuan's requirements, and the high-headed horses and murderous soldiers immediately raised the whole team to a higher level. Majestic and murderous, the Han army guards trembled and sent Ouyang Xuan and his party out of the customs.
Along the way, the birds and beasts on the road were hit by the seedlings, and the new assault rifles rang out from time to time, and pheasants, hares, wild birds, and wild boars could not escape as long as they appeared in the field of vision, and became the target of the new weapons for experiments. Everywhere Ouyang Xuan went, a messenger galloped to Chang'an to report the news. Today's Han official Ouyang Xuan knows only one prime minister, Zhao Zhou, who is now imprisoned by Liu Che because of the donation issue, almost seventy years old, he wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped in time by Ouyang Xuan's insider, and now he is still in Tingwei Prison for more than a month.
Along the way, I met many merchants who traveled back and forth to Han Land, and when they saw Ouyang Xuan's team, they all got off their horses and got off the car to bow down. The Yulin Army also generously bought some Han specialties and put them on the logistics carriage. Since there were no roads in the Han region, horse-drawn carriages could only be used instead, not the cars that had just been put into use in Huaxia now.
The group did not go straight to Chang'an, but under the leadership of the Han envoy, they marched to the Zhongnan Palace, walking on their former fiefdom, Ouyang Xuan was also full of emotion, this was originally the richest area of the Han Dynasty, and now it is desolate. The corn that should have been planted long ago was not seen in the field after the harvest, but some of the corn plants that were planted this year can be seen in front of and behind the farmers' houses. In the villages of the original fiefdom of Juxian County, the few people who did not follow Ouyang Xuan to the north knelt on the side of the road to welcome Ouyang Xuan's return. Looking at these ragged farmers, Ouyang Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable. Now the people of the fiefdom who have moved north with themselves now have more than 100 acres of land, using agricultural machinery that is beyond the times for production, and now they have enough food and clothing, and some have opened workshops and shops, but they are still so poor here. Ouyang Xuan dismounted and picked up the old people on the side of the road one by one, some Ouyang Xuan could still call out their names, and some were patients of the medical hall back then, in the market town by the river on the north side of the original Zhongnan Villa, now they were lonely, only occasionally some passing merchants said hello to Ouyang Xuan, and then left in a hurry. The original prosperity is no longer there, and it is not as rich and prosperous as a village in Huaxia.
On the east side of the original Zhongnan Villa, Ouyang Xuan and his party dismounted in the valley on the east side of the desolate palace, and set up camp, from here less than 500 steps to the south, they could reach the hidden cave leading to the secret base. In the afternoon, with five personal guards on horseback, he went straight to the palace, but before he reached the palace gate, a bad news followed.
