Chapter 19: The Turkic Mastiff (I)

Lone bamboo, also known as Taizhou dock in later generations, is five miles away from Baiwang Mountain, echoing with the Black Dragon Pond.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty set up a belt state here, and gathered the Khitan, Xi people and Turkic and other naturalized nomadic tribes outside the Sai to live.

Although it is in accordance with the official laws of the Tang Dynasty, from top to bottom, there are Hu people who are autonomous.

There are no towering city walls, but there are endless grasslands, but you can see lakes and rivers criss-crossed. The water and grass here are fertile, and it is a paradise for grazing. Back then, when Taizong was in power, he was known as the Heavenly Khan, and Siyi surrendered. A large number of Hu people moved to the Central Plains, putting tremendous pressure on the central government. Taizong was also worried that there would be a threat to these Hu people living around Chang'an, so he ordered the Hu people to return to Biansai and established the system of confined states.

Yang Shouwen stood on the carriage and raised his eyes to look.

Taizong's ability is not bad, but on the national issue, he seems to have made mistakes like those made by the Eastern Han regime.

Back in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people defeated the Xiongnu and pacified the north.

Originally, it was a good time to expand the territory, but because the Southern Xiongnu came to surrender, the Eastern Han Dynasty handed over the Hetao area to the Xiongnu to make their own control, and the tiger breeding eventually evolved into a bad situation of Wuhu chaos. Taizong's system of fetters and states, although to some extent, can temporarily stabilize the Hu people. But these Hu people entrenched in the land of abundant water and grass to recuperate, but in the end, it will evolve into a situation of raising tigers. Historically, wasn't this how the Khitans rose outside the Saiwai?

It cannot be said that Li Shimin's ability is not enough, nor can it be said that the advisers around him are not resourceful enough.

It can only be said that in this era, people have not really realized the greatness of Chinese civilization, let alone the huge tolerance of Chinese civilization. Only after experiencing countless tribulations will the brilliance of Chinese civilization shine in the sky.

"In the whole Guzhu, there are about 60,000 Hu people, which is five times the population of Changping."

Yang Chenglie's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said softly: "There are many races such as Khitan, Turkic, Xi and Xianbei here, and there are many contradictions between them. The reason why the imperial court was able to tolerate their existence was, on the one hand, because more than 10,000 defenders were stationed in Juyong Pass, and at the same time, Changping County was a moat for them to go south. In order to appease them, starting with His Majesty Taizong, the imperial court allowed them to keep their customs and let them live here. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chenglie gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and raised his whip to urge the horse to go to the lonely bamboo.

"After arriving in Guzhu, I will go to visit Guzhu County.

You can walk around and observe the situation. But remember, don't get into a conflict with them. ”

Yang Shouwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, my son knows the severity." ”

The carriage drove slowly down the hillside into the Guzhu station, and there was no obstacle along the way.

The whole lonely bamboo is like a huge bazaar.

However, it was getting late, and the market was a little deserted. When the carriage entered, some people looked in this direction, but no one came out to inquire about it. It is no wonder that the people who come and go to Guzhu are very mixed, and there are not many businessmen who come from the Central Plains.

is dressed like Yang Chenglie and Yang Shouwen's father and son, and at first glance, he knows that he is a small businessman, which does not attract people's attention at all.

Father and son, stopped in front of a tent.

Yang Shouwen got out of the car and tied his horse, and then followed Yang Chenglie into the tent with a big gun in his hand.

The tent is large and has many tables and chairs. On one side of the tent is a row of ten-meter-long strips.

The two orchids sat behind the table and took a nap, and when they heard the sound, they opened their eyes.

"Are there any clean and quiet tents?"

As soon as Yang Chenglie spoke, Yang Shouwen smiled in his heart.

Originally, when he was in Changping, Yang Chenglie spoke Youzhou dialect, and even had a little Changping accent.

But at this time, he was fluent in Mandarin.

Hu Ji was already sleepy, but when she heard Yang Chenglie's official words, she suddenly showed a bright smile.

In these years, being able to speak fluent Central Plains official dialect is definitely a status symbol. Just as the fluent foreign language of later generations can be looked down upon, for this lonely Hu people, the Central Plains official dialect is synonymous with nobility.

"What kind of room do guests want?"

"It's enough for my father and son to rest...... But it would be better if it could be cleaner and quieter. ”

As he spoke, Yang Chenglie took out a piece of gold cake and put it on the table.

The smile on Hu Ji's face became even brighter, and she hurriedly said: "Guests rest assured, I am the best place to stay in the whole Guzhu, if I don't have a room here that the guests are satisfied with, it is the whole Guzhu, and the guests will not be satisfied." ”

"Green beads, sit still, take the guests to see the accommodation."

The orchid looked like he was about thirty or forty, and when he laughed, he could clearly see the powder on his face, which was fluttering and falling.

The woman named Luzhu is not too young, and she is about thirty years old.

Plain face to the sky, no powder, but with a delicate atmosphere, I think I should be a stunning beauty when I was young.

She agreed, picked up a lamp, and led the way.

Yang Chenglie and his son walked out of the tent behind Lu Zhu and soon came to a small tent.

Lu Zhu lifted the curtain, stepped into the tent, lit the oil lamp, and then stood at the door and said, "Guests look here, is it quite agreeable?" ”

Yang Chenglie walked in, glanced at it, and then nodded: "That's it, Sister Trouble." ”

Midori smiled and bowed out of the tent.

Yang Shouwen leaned the big gun against the door, looked at the furnishings in the tent, and couldn't help laughing: "Daddy, this environment is not bad." ”

"That's it!"

Yang Chenglie sat down with his clothes and said with a smile: "Guzhu is the largest state in Guannei.

The Hu merchants outside the Saiwai and the merchants of the Central Plains will mostly transfer goods here. If the environment is not good, how can it be attractive? ”

So saying, he took a mattress from the mat and lay down.

"Go to bed early, I'll go find someone tomorrow morning, if it goes well, I can get things done almost tomorrow, and I can go home early the day after tomorrow."

"Whoa!"

Yang Shouwen said yes and lay down on another couch.

Yang Chengyeol blew out the lights, and the tent was immediately darkened......

Yang Shouwen was lying on his back facing the sky, but he was still thinking about Yang Chenglie's words on the road in his mind.

If the Yang family offended Wu Sansi, how did they offend?

What happened to make the Yang family move to Changping and live in this wasteland for ten years?

Alas, it feels like it's a bit of a hassle!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Save me, colt; Colt, come and save me! ”

The familiar, yet unfamiliar voice echoed in my ears again.

Yang Shouwen opened his eyes, but found that the scene in front of him was a little different from the previous dream.

In a wilderness, a group of people are fighting to the death. Suddenly, an old man fell from the sky, only to see him holding a big gun, the gun was like a dragon, and the person was like a tiger, rushing left and right in the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Yang Shouwen.

Huh, Tiger Swallow?

Yang Shouwen recognized at a glance that the gun in the old man's hand was a tiger swallowing a big gun.

And the old man ......

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that grandpa, Yang Dafang?

A woman with a newborn baby girl in her arms lies not far away. A young boy came to the woman, took off his cotton robe, and put it over the baby's body. Yang Shouwen followed the young child's gaze, but was stunned for a moment.

"Young lady?"

The baby girl looked exactly like the young lady, she looked at Yang Shouwen, but showed an unfamiliar expression.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared in the baby girl's hand and stabbed at Yang Shouwen viciously...... The sword light was shining, and Yang Shouwen's body seemed to freeze, and he couldn't even move when he saw the sharp blade coming to him.

"Young lady!"

Yang Shouwen shouted and opened his eyes.

The dazzling sunlight shone through the small window of the tent, and he felt a little dazzling, so he quickly closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to block it.

"The little official is awake?"

A soft voice rang out at the tent door.

Yang Shouwen hurriedly sat up and followed the sound, but saw an orchid cleaning the mat at the door of the tent. That orchid, Yang Shouwen also knows, is the orchid named Luzhu who brought him and Yang Chenglie to the tent yesterday.
