Xie Yi and Quan Yi exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then led the other party to his residence to have a look. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xie Yi was born in a wealthy family, and the natural conditions of the place where he lived were superior, and Quan Yi was very satisfied with it after just one glance.

After some negotiation, Quan Yi rented several houses in Xie Yi's hands, and he planned to let Lu Polou also move over to live together.

Watching Quan Yi leave happily, Chen Kui was quite puzzled: "Why did Wu Yi let that Quan Yi live in?" ”

"Alas, being a brother is not a last resort, although you and I are from a wealthy family, we have never been in contact with the Yanguo Academy system, and it is the first time to participate in the scientific examination, and there will inevitably be many problems in the middle."

"And that Quan Yi is from the indigenous background of Yan Country, and he knows a lot about the details of the scientific expedition, in the future, you and I can find Quan Yi to help, and we just pay a few houses, is there anything more cost-effective than this?"

In summer, the grassland is very charming, and the streams and rivers formed by the melting of the snow on the snow-capped mountains meandered on the grassland like a white belt, successively flowing into the Peacock River, the Tarim River and the Shule River, and finally flowing into the Gulan Sea (now Lop Nur).

The clear and pure snow water moistens the Tarim Basin along the way, the grass grows unusually lush under the moisture of the river, the cattle and sheep grow happily under the blue sky and white clouds, and several eagles on the snow-capped mountains skim the sky from time to time, inspecting everything in this world with the eyes of a king.

The Tarim Basin is the most prosperous place in the entire Western Regions, with dozens of large and small countries such as Qiuci.

The original Great Jin Dynasty Western Regions Changshi Mansion is also located in the east of the Tarim Basin, on the northwest shore of the Gaolan Sea, on the ruins of Loulan City.

In the spring of the third year of Taixing, after Liu Yao was transferred to the governor of Liangzhou, he has been trying to restore the hegemony of the Great Jin Dynasty in the Western Regions. However, due to the greater difficulties than expected, and the strategic focus of Yan State at that time in the Central Plains, he did not get much support at all, so that three years later, he only maintained a situation of not advancing or retreating.

However, all this changed dramatically with the demise of Qianhu, and King Yan finally had his hands free to deal with the barbarians from all directions. With the southward migration of Goguryeo and the defeat of Rouran, the border defense pressure faced by Yan in the north and east directions was suddenly reduced.

On the contrary, as the Cheng and Han armies resisted and the situation in the Western Regions was unstable, the strategic center of gravity of the Yan State began to shift greatly to the west.

Liangzhou is one of the beneficiaries of this policy change, a large number of materials and personnel have gathered in Liangzhou, and the Assassin's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion have received strong support from the rear.

Originally, Liangzhou was very barren and sparsely populated, with less than 500,000 people. Later, through the naturalization of the Qiang and Xianbei ethnic groups, the population of Liangzhou grew explosively, and the population reached one million in just a few years.

This is still the effect achieved under the deliberate control of Liangzhou Assassin Shi Gaoxu, otherwise the population of Liangzhou will easily exceed one million.

Recently, Liu Yao, the governor of Liangzhou, has been proud, and in recent years, it is precisely because of his lack of strength that he has been holding back his ambition to enter the Western Regions. Now that he has the full support of the rear, he will let go of his hands and feet.

Although Liu Yao did not send troops to the Western Regions in recent years, he secretly sent many scouts to inquire about the news. It is not an exaggeration to say that he knows the customs and customs of the countries in the Western Regions well, but Liu Yao also knows that it is not easy for Yan to return to the Western Regions, and it is likely to be opposed by the local indigenous countries.

In order not to overstimulate the countries of the Western Regions, and at the same time to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, the first step Liu Yao planned to rebuild the Western Regions Changshi Mansion.

The Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, set up during the Yanguang period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, governed Liuzhong City (now in Turpan), and the Three Kingdoms Wei moved to govern Haitou City (now the Loulan site on the northwest coast of Lop Nur), and its main function was to implement effective management and control of the Western Regions.

Regarding the name of the Western Regions, it is very clearly recorded in the Book of Han: "The Western Regions began to pass through the time of filial piety and martial arts, and the thirty-six countries were all in the west of the Xiongnu and the south of Wusun." There are large mountains in the north and south. There is a river in the center, more than 6,000 miles from east to west, and more than 1,000 miles from north to south. The east is connected to the Han Dynasty, the boundary is Yumen, Yangguan, and the west is limited to the green ridge. ”

Of course, in a broad sense, the west of Yumen Pass, to the Green Mountains, including the vast area north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, is under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions.

Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions belonged to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions in the second year of the Imperial Palace, and it was replaced every three years, which has never been interrupted.

It was not until later that the Central Plains was in turmoil, the Eastern Han Dynasty was newly raised, and the Western Regions rebelled due to the lack of strength of the Han Dynasty and the secret support of the Xiongnu.

In 107 A.D., the Eastern Han Dynasty dismissed the Western Regions Protectorate, and in 123 A.D., Ban Chaozi Ban Yong was the first chief of the Western Regions.

The Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions is the outpost of the Wei and Jin dynasties in the Western Regions. The scale of the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions is between counties and counties, and at the same time it has the characteristics of a military tun. The subordinate officials under the entire Changshi Mansion are: Changshi, the main book, the history of Gong Cao, and the history of Bing Cao; There are also record Peng, Cang Cao Peng, Gong Cao Peng, Jian Liang Peng, and Jian Cang Peng; Armor, water Cao, tent generals, Wu Bai, horses, leaders, workers, etc.

Administratively, the Changshi of the Western Regions was subordinate to the Liangzhou Thorn History, but because the Liangzhou Prefecture Zhigu Zang was far away from Loulan, the Changshi Mansion was actually under the jurisdiction of the Dunhuang County Shoufu.

This situation continued until the Yan State recovered the entire Liangzhou, because at that time, the Western Regions Changshi Li Bai led the army into the King of Guanqin, which greatly weakened the strength of the Changshi Mansion, so that the Changshi Mansion has existed in name only.

I have to say that Liu Yao's choice of Changshi Mansion as the entry point is extremely clever, and this move is not easy to arouse the vigilance of the countries in the Western Regions, and by the time everyone reacts, the Yan Kingdom has already gained a firm foothold in the Western Regions.

The Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions rebuilt by the Yan Kingdom this time is quite different from the past, and will be under the dual management of the Governor's Mansion and the Thorn History Mansion. Moreover, the new Changshi Mansion was completely a military and political institution, which was not only responsible for managing civil affairs and implementing tuntian, but also recruiting, training, and commanding local garrisons and protecting the interests of Yan in the Western Regions.

In short, the organizational form and functions of the new Western Regions Governor's Mansion are very complete, and it is the vanguard of the Yan Kingdom's return to the Western Regions.

In view of the heavy responsibilities of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, the requirements for the candidates for the long history are extremely high, and they must be a person who is all-round in civil and military affairs and has a certain ability to have diplomatic relations.

After careful consideration by Liu Yao and Gao Xu, and reported to the cabinet for approval, Fu Hong was finally appointed as the first governor of the Western Regions of Yan State.

In the summer of the first year of Taining, after more than half a year of hard work, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion will be officially moved to Loulan City, and Changshi Fuhong, together with his subordinate officials at all levels, including the former Changshi Li Bai (who was reappointed as the main book), and the two-horse cavalry garrison, will cross the Yumen Pass together.

Yumen Pass is located in the northwest of Dunhuang, according to legend, the Western Han Dynasty in the Western Regions and Tian Meiyu, through this pass into the Central Plains, hence the name.

Up to now, the Central Plains and the Western Regions have always passed through this pass, and it has always been an extremely important military pass and Silk Road traffic artery in the northwest.

Overlooking from above, the whole Yumen Pass is a square castle, the castle was originally made of loess rammed, until the Yan State recovered Liangzhou, all of them were changed to concrete structures, which were easier to defend and difficult to attack than before.

The whole pass stands on the sandy gravel hill of the Gobi Desert in the east-west direction. There is no door in the southeast of the castle, the northwest gate is opened, there is a female wall on it, there is a horse road below, people can go straight to the top of the city from the horse road, climb high and overlook, the swamp in the south is all around; The winding Great Wall of the Han Dynasty in the north is like a giant dragon, as far as the eye can see, and every five miles, there is a square-shaped beacon tower.

"Guangshi's burden on his shoulders is not light when he goes to the Western Regions, on the one hand, he must re-erect the banner of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion in Loulan as soon as possible; On the other hand, it is also necessary to try to establish good relations with the countries in the Western Regions, especially to find out the attitude of each country towards Yan. ”

When the jade door was closed, Liu Yao was constantly telling Fu Hong something. At this time, Fu Hong can be said to be complacent, to be honest, he used to watch Yao Yizhong's father and son show their majesty on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and his heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred. This time he finally waited for the opportunity to show his strength.

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the king's trust and will make a name for myself in the Western Regions."

"Well, you let go of your hands and feet, I will fully support the Changshi Mansion in the rear, including the High Thorn History, and the materials and personnel needed will continue to be transported to Loulan through the quicksand desert."

After a stick of incense, Fu Hong bid farewell to his boss Liu Ya and took all the staff of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion to officially open.

Watching the team of people and horses marching towards the west, Liu Yao felt extremely excited, and he knew that the opportunity to make contributions was coming. (To be continued.) )
