――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Zangbei Valley is not a valley, but a river valley, located at the bend of the Yili River, with 18,000 acres of wheat fields, 2,000 acres of rice fields, and two pastures at the protruding place, but the stocking is some inferior horses, cattle and sheep.

When Zhang Mai led the light cavalry to suddenly burst into this place, he happened to see a stubborn tall horse out of the group, a ragged young man came out of the horse, suddenly struck, threw out a rope sleeve, accurately hit the head of the inferior horse, stretched out his hand and pulled, pulled the horse man to stand up, the horse struggled desperately, but could not escape the young man's control.

Yang Yi cheered when he saw it, and Zhang Mai was also taken aback: "This set is accurate, then forget it, I'm afraid that this pulling force will not have a thousand catties!" ”

The young man was quite curious when he saw that the cavalry of the Tang Army were all unfamiliar faces, so he heard someone in the herd of horses shouting: "Little stone! Go back quickly, I'm going to be scolded again if I miss the hour. ”

Zhang Mai listened and nodded at Guo Luo, Guo Luo said: "What they speak is really Chinese, although it is mixed with Hu Yin. ”

At this time, a group of Hui cavalry galloped out, pointed at Zhang Mai with a horsewhip and shouted: "Who are you, what are you doing here!" ”

Zhang Mai said with a smile: "I am Zhang Mai, the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and I came to the Tibetan Tablet Valley to look for relatives. The grammar and sentences of his two sentences are simple, and Zhang Mai has directly said it in Huifu.

The face of the leader of the Hui cavalry changed: "Tang Kou! ”

At this time, the rear cavalry followed, hundreds of cavalry of the Tang army were strong and strong, and the team was only more than 20 people, seeing that the Tang army was so powerful, thinking of the recent rumors, I was afraid in my heart, and rushed to flee. The Hui army in the Zangbei Valley is only more than 100 people, and they are not the elite of the Hui army, but they are just the cell leaders sent by the Barasagon side to monitor the serfs and herdsmen in the Zangbei Valley, how can they be the opponents of the Tang army?

Yang Dingbang commanded later, and the four teams of cavalry scattered to cover and kill, and those Hui wanted to gather their serfs and herdsmen to resist, but where was the time? In addition, the serfs and herdsmen in the Tibetan Monument Valley were quite feared by the Hui rulers, and for many years they were only allowed to issue wooden sticks and light bows, and almost no iron weapons, even if they were gathered, they would not necessarily have any effect.

The leader of the cavalry saw that he was invincible, abandoned the valley, Guo Shiyong commanded a team of cavalry to gallop in an arc to kill the past, this blow was just right, showing the demeanor of a veteran, a cut to stop half of the centaurs, Guo Luoyang Yi rushed up to chase and kill.

Zhang Mai had the intention of standing up in front of the people of Zangbei Valley, so that they would obey, implying that Yang Yi did not have to show mercy. Yang Yi was ruthless, and in just one meal, the heads of the bones rolled around on the grass and in the farmland, and only three of the forty-seven people who were intercepted were left, and the rest were all killed!

Those serfs and herdsmen were so frightened that they no longer dared to resist, and the Tang army's iron cavalry ordered them to surrender, and they threw away their light bows and wooden sticks. The reason why Zhang Mai wanted to stand up was that he hoped to be able to fight quickly, and he didn't want too many Tang people to shed blood, but at this time, he was a little disappointed when he saw them surrender so lightly, and felt that these people were not bloody enough.

Yang Dingbang sent people to occupy all places, Guo Shiyong led people to receive those serfs and herdsmen, Guo Luo forced the three captives, and after a while, he came over to report the details to Zhang Mai: "Special envoy, this is really the Valley of Tibetan Monuments." Then he told me all kinds of circumstances that had been tortured.

For the Qarakhanid Dynasty, this Tibetan Tablet Valley was not considered a frontier, and the key points were not critical, but it was a remote place, producing some wheat and grain every year, but most of them had to be handed over to Zhaoshan, and what was left was given to serfs and herdsmen.

There were more than 1,720 slaves, serfs, and herdsmen in the whole valley - slaves in short, a few of them women, all of them very ugly, but all the slightest appearance was taken back as concubines by the Dikhkans of the Qarakhanid dynasty, seventy or eighty were children under the age of fifteen, and the rest were young men, few old men, and very few of them lived to be over forty-five because of the heavy work and the poor living conditions. Most of these slaves have Han blood, so the locals call them "Tang Nu", and because this river valley is called Zangbei Valley, these people are also called Zangbei Valley people.

After the guerrillas took control of the Zangbei Valley, Zhang Mai immediately ordered the surrendered slave leaders to bring all the slaves to the river beach south of the city to assemble. Guo Luo sent someone to tell Zhang Mai that most of these hundreds of slaves were "Tang Nu", or descendants of "Tang Nu". The title of "Tang Nu" made Zhang Mai very angry, but he couldn't help but be excited and happy when he thought that he could rescue thousands of compatriots at one time this time.

The serfs and herdsmen in the valley had gone through the replacement of the Turgish by Qarluq, and saw the Hui people replacing Qarluq, and seeing that the new cavalry had driven away the Uighurs, they thought that a new group of masters had come, and when they saw that the blood and heads of the Uighurs were all over the ground, they were afraid, so they all honestly obeyed the order and came to the river beach to gather.

Before the herdsmen and serfs were assembled, Zhang Mai had already prepared an impassioned draft, so that he could make a passionate speech on great liberation when he met the Tang people.

More than 1,700 serfs and herdsmen formed a circle under the drive of the Tang army, around a large protruding clod of earth by the river, and Zhang Mai ran on his horse to the large clod, at this time he was quite familiar with the three tastes of public speeches, and when he did not speak, he first made eye contact with these serfs and herdsmen, so that each one of them felt that he was looking at them.

However, after Zhang Maihuan swept around, the situation in front of him poured cold water on him. No one responded to his eager gaze. When facing the Anxi army and civilians - especially when facing the young soldiers of the Tang army after the Battle of Kudan, a little spark in Zhang Mai's eyes can ignite a raging flame among them! But at this time, Zhang Mai poured out all his enthusiasm through his eyes in the face of the people of Zangbei Valley, but he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reaction at all.

Yes, the hundreds of people in front of me are all tanned yellow skin, black eyes, and dirty hair can be vaguely distinguished as also black substrate, but some of them look very yellow due to malnutrition, or they are not old and white, but even so, most of them can still be called strong, even women are strong--the weak cannot survive in this land. Those of them were shackled, and before Zhang Mai arrived, Guo Luo had also sent people to restore their freedom, but their eyes were ......

It is a kind of sluggish, dull, lifeless eyes, but it is different from the dullness of idiots, but a kind of numb sluggishness, if the eyes are the windows of the soul, then through these two windows, Zhang Mai can hardly see the soul inside.

He suddenly remembered the low-level characters described by Lu Xun in the late Qing Dynasty, yes, it was such a numbness, when he walked into this group of people, Zhang Mai even had an illusion: he walked into the group of mules and horses, not into the crowd.

Of course, Zhang Mai did not intend to discriminate against these people, on the contrary, he came with great expectations, but at this moment he felt this feeling in his heart.

This kind of gap is too big.

Hundreds of people and more than a thousand eyes looked at Zhang Mai who galloped in, no one knew what this old man was doing, and some people habitually bent down and shouted: "Dihekan." "There are also some people who do not move, as if they have to be whipped with a whip to awaken their senses.

Guo Luo approached and told Zhang Mai the latest situation, after his inquiry, he knew that there was almost no organization among the people of the Tibetan Tablet Valley, and there were a few elders before, but later they were killed for leading the Tang people to rebel, and there was no leader of their own clan after that.

The Tang people who became slaves only thought about how to fill their stomachs and how to survive every day, and the rest slowly faded into oblivion.

Zhang Mai jumped off his horse, and under the drive of the Tang army, more than 1,000 people slowly surrounded Zhang Mai and surrounded him.

Although he was a little disappointed in this group of people, Zhang Mai comforted himself: "They have been enslaved for so long, and it is understandable that they have become like this." He motivated himself, raised his voice, and shouted: "Brothers! Sisters, I am Zhang Mai, a special envoy sent by Chang'an, and now I am leading the army here to rescue you! Now you're free! In the future, you will no longer be slaves, you will have your own life, your own ideals, and your own future! As long as everyone follows us and struggles together! ”

Zhang Mai felt quite passionate about these words, but in the face of unresponsive faces, Zhang Mai's words became more and more imposing, which made Zhang Mai have an idiom in his mind: play the piano to the cow! There was a lot of rhetoric below, but I can't go on here.

"They...... Do they still understand Chinese? Zhang Mai asked Guo Luo with some frustration.

"You should be able to understand it, when I asked me just now, they were able to answer, but they spoke a lot of Turkic language, and they didn't seem to understand it if it was too complicated."

Look at these Tang slaves again - at this moment, Zhang Mai had this title in his mind that made him feel very sad, but at this moment, the appearance of these people is a bunch of slaves.

Is it because the wise men, like those who conspire against Ulle, have apostasy in all these years? Is it because brave and backbone people have been slaughtered all these years? So what is left behind is the dregs of the surging waves and the elimination of the tide?

Zhang Mai consciously told himself: It is not good for him to have this kind of thought, but he can't help but make people have such associations.

He searched through the crowd, hoping for some response. Among the hundreds of people, there are actually some people who are a little more agile, "These people may be where the hope lies!" Zhang Mai thought to himself.

He caught the eager look of one of the Tang Mins, and encouraged him with his gaze.

After a while, the Tang Min finally mustered up the courage to come over, Zhang Mai took two steps, only to see the man's feet bent, and shouted: "This Dihekan, what do you want us to do?" ”

Zhang Mai was stunned, and a nameless fire came out of his abdomen, and he said angrily: "Don't call me Dihekan!" This anger is a bit of a gaffe.

The man was stunned, leaned back in some fear, and then changed his words: "Master......"

"Don't call me sir!" Zhang Mai said loudly: "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Special Envoy Zhang." ”

"Oh, Envoy Zhang."

That person, along with many Tang people around him, shouted together, but in Zhang Mai's ears, he felt that the title of "Special Envoy Zhang" in their mouths had also changed, as if it was just another language expression of "Dihekan" and "Master", but the connotation was the same for them.

Zhang Mai wants to encourage them to cheer up, and wants to tell them: You are the descendants of China, and you have the most civilized and noble blood in the world, you can hold your head high and be the most self-respecting person in the world.

But when the words come to the mouth, thinking that these people will react like ducks listening to thunder, these words cannot be continued.

Perhaps, they don't even remember that they are of Tang descent, and the concept of "I am a descendant of China" has died out in their hearts, how can they still inspire their passion and pride?

Zhang Mai felt that although he and the hundreds of people in front of him were only a few steps away, the gap between them seemed to be thousands of years away.

How do you communicate? Can't communicate.

I don't know how long the stalemate has been, how long the embarrassment has been.

"Alas-" Zhang Mai let out a long sigh and said to Guo Luo, "Go back." ”

"Then these people ......"

“…… Let's talk about it. Maybe it's our wishful thinking, maybe this place is more suitable for them, the road ahead of us is dangerous and difficult, not everyone can walk. ”

Maybe Guo Shiyong's idea is right.

Zhang Mai was really disappointed. Although these people have the blood of the Tang Frontier Army, their spirit is completely slave. Now the Tang Army is in a great crisis, although it has won many victories, in fact, it has been walking on the edge of the cliff, and if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, what is the use of taking such a group of slaves back?

"Although their bodies are strong, such a mental state cannot quickly become the new blood of our army."

Maybe these people really have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in their bodies, but national identity is more of a culture, if they lose their traditions and identity, even if they are really Han species, they have become ignorant people who have no sense of Chinese conversion.

At this time, Zhang Mai suddenly realized how rare it was for Guo Shidao and others to stick to the tradition of Han culture in this place full of Hulu!

"Unlike these compatriots who have been reduced to slavery in front of us, there are still hundreds of people living together in New Broken Leaf City after all, slowly multiplying to thousands of people."

"There are also the Guo family and the Yang family as the core of unity."

"I hid in a remote corner again, so I was able to keep the old customs and traditions."

"But if I hadn't appeared, maybe in a hundred or two hundred years, or even a few decades, the soldiers and civilians of Shattered Leaf City would slowly shrink and die......"

"Even, if it weren't for my mistake, the battle of New Broken Leaf City would have completely wiped out the last stronghold of New Broken Leaf City in history."

This is a sad trend, but it is clearly a fact when extrapolated from the "realities" of Central Asia in later generations. When Qiu Chuji arrived in this area, he had not seen the crowds of Han Chinese.

Once the cultural tradition is severed and the Han family group dies out, who will remember that this place once belonged to the Tang Dynasty? Even if there are still some records, they are only archaeological relics that have nothing to do with reality.

As soon as Zhang Mai and the others left, the slave leaders began to be active again, and the Tibetan Tablet Valley had just changed hands, from the hands of the Hui people to the hands of the Tang army, but the Tang slaves seemed to feel that this had nothing to do with them.

Guo Luo glanced back, and his eyes suddenly became wet.

Zhang Mai knew that he was a man who bleed without tears, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Sad? ”

"It's not sad, I'm ...... I'm scared. Guo Luo pointed to a young man in his twenties among the Tang Nu and said, "If I weren't Guo Shidao's son, if I hadn't grown up in Broken Leaf City, I would probably have lived the same life as him." ”

This sentence made Zhang Mai stunned: "Yes, if I change my environment...... in their environment"
