Four days later, in the evening, Zhang Yue took his entourage to the southern suburbs of Shunzheng County, Xingzhou, and the guard general Wang Tingyi brought people to greet him, welcomed Zhang Yue and his entourage into the state office, and placed them in the guest house.

There are 40,000 soldiers and civilians gathered in Xingzhou, Hao Tianying and Song Lingguang have already left with 20,000 people, and there are still 20,000 left.

After all, immigration is an extremely cumbersome matter, and if you don't have a relationship with someone you don't know in person, people may just be coping. Zhang Jianxiong was originally a full-time judge of Fengxiang Jiedu and a defense envoy of Longzhou, and the two were not subordinate to each other.

In this year, the rank of the shogunate officials in the feudal town was a bit chaotic, and it was common for senior bureaucrats to lead assassins, and it was common for middle and low-level officials to even lead prefectural orders. This was especially prevalent in the remote areas of Kansai, and was much better throughout the Central Plains, because of the proximity, the imperial court directly appointed important officials of the feudal marshals and shogunates, as well as officials of the prefectures and prefectures under their rule.

Xingzhou is a very important place, and it is the intersection of the three ancient roads of Chencang Road, Jinniu Road and Qishan Road. Zhang Yue took into account the needs of the future Kansai strategy, and planned to establish a trading warehouse here, so that the goods of Guanzhong and Shuzhong could pass to the northwest Huizhou.

The next day, Zhang Yue inquired about it and bought a larger manor in the northern suburbs of the state city as a warehouse, and asked Zhang Quanxu to take his entourage to receive it, and left people to take care of it for later use.

Zhang Yue and Feng Qianhou went to the immigration camp to take a look, and by the way, they comforted and rewarded. Among the remaining population, there were 3,000 soldiers, and Zhang Yue gathered them to temporarily form an army, taking care of their families on the road, and carrying grain and grass camps.

After that, he set off again, rushed to Mingshui County for two days to rest for a day, and traveled northwest along the Qishan Road on the north bank of the West Han River, and finally arrived at Shanglu in Chengzhou after six days. Because the will of the court has not yet been issued, and the army of the Western Expedition has not been ordered to retreat, they are currently stationed on the spot and are under military management of the locality, and Zhang Jianxiong has not returned to Qinzhou, so as to accept the orders of Fengzhou and Xingyuan Mansion at any time.

Zhang Jianxiong is a native of Hezhong Prefecture, about forty years old, medium build, dark complexion, his appearance is not good, but under a pair of thick eyebrows, his eyes are sharp and sharp, and when he looks at Zhang Yue, his eyes are scrutinized.

"General Zhang has worked hard from afar, please go to the state office to rest first! As for the immigrants who can live in the camp first, your subordinates have just left with the previous one, and they heard that there are still ones behind, so they left the camp! Zhang Jianxiong arched his hand, and his attitude was not bad.

"With Judge Lao Zhang personally welcomed, this operation connected the three states, and supported Wang Baogong to attack Gao Yanyan, and then broke Li Tingqi's main force, the timing can be said to be just right, amazing! It can be said that without the timely support of Judge Zhang, Wang Baogong may not be able to go to Xingzhou, and the battle situation will not be so smooth. Zhang Yue bowed his hand and thanked him, although his official position was higher than him, but for those who have the ability, he should be more respected.

Zhang Yue's demeanor was serious, he returned the salute solemnly, and his heartfelt praise made Zhang Jianxiong feel very useful, and replied with a smile: "I heard that General Zhang is brave and has made great contributions repeatedly, and he doesn't want to be eloquent!" After this battle, I'm afraid that the Yajian Festival will be held, right? ”

Zhang Yue heard this, he dreamed of the establishment of the festival, but he thought that it might not be so smooth. When Zhang Jianxiong said this, he was testing what reward he could have, so he replied with a smile: "Judge Zhang's great contribution is so crucial, there will inevitably be a heavy reward." As for me, Wang Baogong, Xiang Yuan's envoy and others, it will naturally rise with your military exploits. ”

"Haha...... General Zhang is really good at talking! Please come with me into the city to rest! Zhang Jianxiong put his mind at ease, his rank was the previous military exploits and the leader of the Longzhou defense envoy, and the judge of the festival degree was neither high nor low, so it was inevitable that he would not know the bottom of his heart, so he asked more.

As usual, it is the VIP guest house of the state ya, Feng Qianhou, Du Ximi and Zhang Quanxu first checked in with the luggage of the pro-soldiers, and Zhang Yue followed Zhang Jianxiong to the back hall of the state ya.

This is generally a tacit understanding in the reception of officials, which is not only the meaning of inviting tea, but also implying that the other party can talk about something. This is especially true for martial artists, otherwise, who will have time to accompany you to chirp and talk nonsense.

Zhang Yue picked up the teacup and put it down after taking a sip, and said solemnly: "I have sent a letter to inform you before, asking Judge Zhang to gather the reduced soldiers and their families into the camp, and then move to Huizhou to fill it, I don't know how many people are gathered in Qin, Cheng, and Jiezhou?" ”

"General Zhang, forgive me, this is a bit difficult to do, because these three states fell into Tubo in the Middle Tang Dynasty, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was in turmoil, and Gao Yu, who was the assassin of Qinzhou at the time, lured Shang Yanxin and Hun Mo to 10,000 accounts, and recovered Qin and Wei Prefectures, and the towns also sent troops, and Cheng and Jiezhou were also recovered, so now the Han population in these three states is very small, and the Fan Qiang accounts for most of them. Zhang Jianxiong said slightly apologetically.

If the Han population has moved away, what will be the consequences of the Fan Qiang sitting in the conference Zhang Yue of course understands, but it is not easy to come here, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Are these Fan Qiang tribes concentrated or scattered?" Nomadic or agrarian? I don't know if there is a chief in charge? ”

"They are all half-farming and half-herding, tens of thousands of people in each clan, thousands of small ones, naturally there are patriarchs, usually fierce and aggressive, a handful of wool can make several tribes fight, if there is no patriarch coordination, the state government can't manage it at all! Fortunately, these are ripe Tibetans, and if they are raw, they are very fierce and difficult to believe. Zhang Jianxiong smiled bitterly.

The so-called raw and cooked Tibetan, Zhang Yue has heard of it, Shengbo is the remnant tribe of Tubo, most of them are not civilized, generally hostile to the Han people, and do not speak Chinese. The familiar Tibetan is the Qiang tribe who have lived on the border for a long time, or in the territory, who have been dealing with the Han people for a long time, can speak fluently in the Guanzhong Qin dialect, and some are even familiar with the various customs and etiquette of the Guanzhong people, and have a sense of cultural identity, so they also have a sense of belonging to the Central Plains court.

"It's okay to be aggressive, I like brave and bloody soldiers the most, transfer them to me, and you can also make the border peaceful. So then again, how many troops have been reduced? Zhang Yue didn't give up and asked.

"Chengzhou can give 1,000 people, Qinzhou 2,000, this is the soldier with his family, as for Jiezhou, forget it! Of course, if you want to be a fan, you can move your entire clan away, this is a long-term plan for Anbian. ”

"Alright! The judge assigned people to inform the chiefs of the various tribes to go to the state capital, and Zhang personally talked to them. Qinzhou can also do the same, I have sent someone to inform Xuan Chongwen, the deputy envoy of the Huizhou regiment, to Qinzhou to pick up, and now the person should have arrived, and I am bothered that Judge Zhang will send someone to pass my letter and ask him to come to Chengzhou to pick up people. ”

"It's best to do this, but tomorrow I will send someone to inform the chiefs of all ethnic groups, and in three days I will go to the state government to meet together." Zhang Jianxiong was overjoyed, so that there was no contradiction in this way, and everyone took what they needed.

Zhang Yue immediately took his leave, and on the 12th day of August, the chiefs of all ethnic groups finally came, and Zhang Yue and Zhang Jianxiong summoned the chiefs of various ethnic groups to talk. Of course, the conditions are still the same, when they arrive at the locality, they will be resettled by the government, build a village house to settle down, and appoint the neighbor chief, the first chief, and the lieutenant chief to manage it, and the elders of their tribe will serve as the prestige elders, and each household will be given 30 acres of Yongye land, and the first three years will be exempt from tax.

The purpose of this condition is very simple, that is, to transform the nomadic people into agricultural peoples, and gradually sinicize the mature Qiang tribes, which is undoubtedly the best way out for the ignorant and impoverished Qiang in the territory.

Of course, if you have money to spare, you can also buy the land by yourself; Those who want to graze can only be within a small area, and cannot be nomadic and migrate with water and grass. The conditions are indeed good, but the latter Qiang patriarchs are a little difficult to accept, and they can't be nomadic, so how can they raise cattle, sheep and horses?

Someone asked like this on the spot, and Zhang Yue's answer was: Huizhou Hechi Horse Farm is expanding, and the price of your horses will be reduced at that time, and it is best to fence and feed livestock.

The patriarchs raised all kinds of questions, and Zhang Yue answered them one by one, exempting them from worries, and several poor small clan chiefs on the spot were eager to try, and they didn't want to open their mouths when they saw that no one else agreed.

The conditions were in place, and the words had been said thoroughly, so Zhang Yue wanted to get away with it, announced the end of the meeting in a timely manner, and sent him back to think about it for himself. A few days later, sure enough, several chiefs of poor small tribes came to the state government to express their willingness to move.

By the time Xuan Chongwen took Li Duojin south to Chengzhou, a total of seven tribes had migrated, with more than 40,000 people. The follow-up affairs were still more time-consuming and laborious, Zhang Yue explained some things on the business road to Zhang Quanxu, and without much delay, he returned with his entourage via Xingzhou.
