Chapter 156: The Highlights

readx;

Hundreds of thousands of Donghu people were quickly divided into three by Hu Hai after they were annexed to Great Qin, and Pingyi County, Inner Mongolia County, and Heilongjiang County were newly established, and the strongest men were selected from the Donghu people to form the Pingyi Army in the eighteen legions of the Great Qin, which was now under the command of Li Xin.

The matter of dividing and ruling the Donghu tribe, Hu Hai did it very simply. He knew very well that although Hu Zhong now had a lot of power in the Donghu clan, he could not really completely control the entire Donghu clan, and although the elders in the Donghu clan were dying one by one, the power in their hands was not weak.

Therefore, when Hu Hai divided the Donghu tribe at the beginning, he mainly divided those big clans with other ideas in his heart, but he was rarely touched by the Hu Zhong tribe, after all, Pingyi County still needed Hu Zhong, the leader of the Eastern Hu who was basically completely subordinate to Daqin, to guard it.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

As those Donghu elders who were not weak were transferred and divided, they had no choice but to honestly follow Hu Zhong to Pingyi County to herd and build a city for Daqin.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven after all.

Although Maodun's counterattack was ultimately failed by the timely rescue of the Jiuyuan Army, it also caused countless casualties to Hu Zhong, the core clan of Mohuer. The Mohuer tribe, whose strength had plummeted, was finally unable to completely suppress the Donghu elders who had long been dissatisfied with Donghu's submission to Daqin, the management of cattle, sheep and horses by the Taifu Temple, and the Donghu people's learning of Daqin script, city building, Tuntian, and so on.

In fact, as early as when Hu Hai divided the hundreds of thousands of people of the Donghu tribe, the Donghu tribe had a debate about whether to continue to belong to Great Qin or betray Great Qin.

In the eyes of those ambitious Donghu clan elders. Now the Huns, the biggest enemy of the Donghu clan, have been almost wiped out by the Qin people, and the Donghu clan has been armed with a large number of Great Qin-style weapons, and their strength is even more than the original Xiongnu.

The Huns were still able to make the Qin people sigh for hundreds of years and could not take a step beyond the Lei Chi, let alone the current Donghu people. What's more, the Huns are gone, and the vast fertile grasslands north of Yinshan belong to the Donghu clan.

At this time, the Donghu people rebelled against Daqin, and the Qin people wanted to conquer the Donghu clan, but it was already impossible.

Because the Donghu people are already full-fledged.

The prairie is the greatest gift from God to the Donghu people, as an eagle on the prairie, anyone who comes to this prairie can only look at the grass and sigh. And I can't help the Donghu people.

What's more, the Donghu people have lived on the prairie for generations. Living by water and grass, grazing horses and sheep, how can you learn the script of the Qin people? How can you abandon the traditional building of the Donghu tribe to build a city in Tuntian and rest at sunrise?

This is not the life that Donghu people should have. This is the vicious method used by the Qin Emperor to exterminate the Donghu people.

After the final battle with the Huns in Wolf Juxu Mountain, such contradictions began to ferment among the Donghu people in Pingyi County. Germination. And eventually it turned into a war.

On one side were the Donghu people who were loyal to Great Qin led by Hu Zhong. On the other side were the Donghu elders who advocated rebellion against Qin.

The Donghu people, who were originally a clan, finally raised the Qin-made weapons in their hands and raised the butcher's knife against their own people in the summer of the fifty-third year of the Great Qin calendar and the third year of the Second Great Qin Dynasty.

Fortunately, after Hu Zhong sensed the impending chaos in Pingyi County. The first time was like the Jiuyuan Army asking for help.

In fact, this chaos had been buried as early as when Hu Zhong was desperate to fight the Huns.

After receiving the news, General Jiuyuan Shima urgently reported the rebellion in Pingyi County to Xianyang, and on the other hand, he personally commanded the only remaining 30,000 elite cavalry in the Jiuyuan Fortress to rush to Pingyi County.

Of course, in addition to the military information, there was also a letter of accusation that was reported to Xianyang.

No one could mobilize an army of more than 1,000 people without the emperor's order, which was an iron law in the Great Qin army. If you commit it, it is a great crime of raiding your family and exterminating your family.

Shiruma is well aware of this.

But he also knew better that once Hu Zhong, the leader of the Eastern Hu who was loyal to Great Qin, was killed by those Donghu people who wanted to betray Great Qin, then Great Qin would have to spend countless manpower and material resources to quell the turmoil on the grassland.

The Huns were beaten away, and the Donghu people would become the henchmen of Great Qin. What's more, this turmoil will also directly affect Inner Mongolia County and Heilongjiang County. Because in these two counties, there are more than 300,000 Donghu people in total.

If one is not handled properly, more than ten counties in the northwest and northeast of Great Qin will fall into chaos.

Naturally, Shima would not have known that the 90,000-strong army of the Tiger Ben Army had actually reached the depths of the grassland in Inner Mongolia County as early as a month ago. If he knew the news, he would naturally not be as nervous as he is now.

After discussing with Meng Hao for a long time, Shema finally decided to send troops to aid Hu Zhong, of course, the aid and the confession must be carried out at the same time. Come to think of it, the emperor will naturally understand when he receives the news.

I have to say that Shiruma's decision was very correct.

It was precisely because of the timely assistance of the Jiuyuan Army that the Jiuyuan Army arrived when Hu Zhong and others were about to be unable to resist the attack of the rebellious Donghu people. The appearance of the Jiuyuan Army in time made the Donghu elders, who had been preparing for a long time, have no choice but to flee into the depths of the vast grassland.

Shima personally led 20,000 galloping troops to the Jiuyuan Army, and rode non-stop all the way for three days and three nights, leaving a road completely paved with flesh and blood on the vast grassland, and finally beheaded more than ten rebellious Donghu elders under the horses.

Only the second elder Eduo Ti was lucky enough to lead more than a thousand cronies to escape the pursuit of Shijian under the cover of the vast night.

Most of the more than 20,000 Donghu cavalry who fled with these rebel elders were also buried in the depths of the vast grassland by the Shema army, weathered into patches of dry bones.

……

Xianyang Palace Council Hall.

Hu Hai, who had only been away from Xianyang for half a month, returned to this hall that belonged to him again.

At this moment, the five old ministers of the cabinet, the six Shangshu and a group of important ministers except for Wang Hao, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, gathered in the political hall.

With the news of the Wuma Marquis Linghu Fan reaching Xianyang, the ministers of the court and the central government are not ordinary people, and they can naturally know from the strange situation in the past half a month that the emperor's secret northward journey is true.

At the same time, they once again strengthened the discipline of the children of their respective clans.

Last time, Fan Jian was only reprimanded, but this time, Ling Hu Fan was afraid that he might not even be able to keep his head.

"Shiruma did a good job this time. Resolute and decisive, the cabinet sent an edict to the office and the 30,000 soldiers of the original army were all promoted to the first rank. "Although there will be some trouble after running a lot of posts, Hu Hai, who should be rewarded, will naturally not be stingy.

"Hu Zhong and the Donghu elders who are loyal to my Great Qin, each of them will be promoted to the third level. The Donghu people who resisted the rebellion were rewarded with 1,000 copper coins per household. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

A thousand copper coins are very few in Great Qin's rewards. Elder Donghu is at the third level of Jue, but strictly speaking, it is not even as good as the Jiuyuan Army's first-level Jue. Because they didn't have any titles before, and the Great Qin title is the more difficult it is to enter the title the further back they go. Therefore, the ministers naturally know this reward.

Immediately after the reward, the hall fell silent.

Everyone in the palace knows that the main event is coming. (To be continued......)
