Chapter 958: Qiang Descendants

As soon as Daqin's side moved, there was a reaction on the plateau.

Countless Qiang people walked down happily under the persuasion of Xuanyilang.

The abundance of the Hexi Corridor is the best propaganda effect.

Compared with being a savage on the plateau without food and clothing, integrating into Daqin is naturally the best choice.

Moreover, after the Qiang people of Longyou and Hehuang integrated into Daqin in recent years, they have become generous, especially after those who have military merits return to their hometowns, they immediately become local masters, have their own land, have their own manors, and their wives and concubines are hot kang heads, and they are happy.

The main reason for the Centennial War of Han and Qiang was that the Eastern Han Dynasty had always refused to integrate the Qiang people.

The Qiang people could only collude with the local Han people and set off rebellions one after another.

Daqin opened his arms to them, and after so many years of propaganda, the saying that Han and Qiang have the same ancestor has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is actually Great Qin's recognition of their political status.

Moreover, Yang Zheng's concubine Jiang Alian is from the Qiang nationality, which is more attractive to the Qiang nationality.

In fact, Yang Zheng's rise back then was to use the power of the Qiang people to counterattack Liangzhou and sweep Guanzhong.

The status of the Qiang people in Daqin today is similar to the relationship between the Mongols and the Manchus in history.

Not only did the Qiang people serve as generals in the imperial court in large numbers, but the children of the royal family also married with the Qiang people, and a close political alliance had been formed between the two sides.

Even today's Great Qin needs the Qiang people to suppress other ethnic groups such as the Xianbei and Xiongnu in the Hexi Corridor.

A large number of Sinicized Qiang descendants moved into the Western Regions, Central Asia, Liaodong and other places to guard the territory of Great Qin.

Sometimes, Yang Zheng feels that the loyalty of the completely sinicized alien races such as Qiang, Di, and Jia is still above the Han people in his headquarters.

After spreading them in Central Asia and Liaodong, they are unfamiliar with the land and will not collude with the local forces, so they can only rely on Great Qin.

And Daqin can also rely on them to guard the local area.

The characteristics of the Qiang people who are resistant to bitter cold and vigorous are also very suitable for Liaodong and Mobei.

Therefore, improving the status of the Qiang people is Yang Zheng's inevitable choice.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei are still unreliable, and Yang Zheng does not dare to fully trust them.

The Han Dynasty moved the Xiongnu internally for more than 200 years, but it was not able to fully integrate them.

And the threat of Xianbei is still above the Xiongnu, after all, where is the population base, a large number of outstanding talents have emerged in Xianbei in recent years, and they have begun to emerge in Daqin.

Tuoba, Murong, Yuwen, and Duan's have all appeared famous heroes.

Don't underestimate the motivation that a hero can give to your nation.

Murong Ke pushed the Murong Ministry, which was not very strong, to the status of the overlord of the world in one fell swoop.

Murong Chui almost recreated the grandeur of the Yan Kingdom, but was pressed down by Tuoba Jue again.

The Tuoba family cow got up, and there was a Yuwentai again......

At least in the past few decades, Yang Zheng has to be secretly wary of them.

Daqin's march to the plateau was simply done in one go, without any resistance, and no one around dared to argue with Daqin in these years.

Faqiang, who once fought against Zhong Qiang, with 100,000 victorious soldiers and more than 300,000 people, had no resistance in front of the army of 10,000 Qiang descendants.

Faqiang and Tang Mingqiang gathered 50,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army.

They are also Qiang people, but the Qiang descendants of Great Qin have completed their spiritual transformation.

Riding sturdy horses, wearing sturdy armour, swords straddling their waists, and carrying lances, they bravely attacked the 50,000 ragged enemy.

This cannot be called a war, but a massacre.

The Qiang soldiers hated the enemies of Great Qin to the core, and they were ruthless.

The Qiang people's fierceness has been brought to the extreme.

10,000 foot cavalry chased 50,000 people and killed, 50,000 people hid in Tibet, and the ghosts cried wolf, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and more than 6,000 were killed and more than 20,000 were captured.

Jiang Feye's grandson Jiang Ke, that is, Yang Zheng's nephew, performed particularly heroically, holding a ring-headed knife in each hand, invincible on the battlefield, and no one could stop him.

It was also he who led 500 elite cavalry to chase and kill 200 miles, and captured 136 chieftains of Fa Qiang and Tang Xuanqiang.

Faqiang and Tang Mingqiang died in a battle.

The morale on the plateau was completely demoralized.

The bones filled the mountains and rivers, and the wolves in the vultures of the sky were left to eat.

In order to deter the plateau tribes, Jiang Ke built three Beijing temples, imitated Huo Quai, and erected a stone monument to remember his merits.

This year, Jiang Ke was twenty-six years old and became the leader of the third generation of generals in Great Qin.

Historically, Tibet was formed by Faqiang as the core and integrating with other Qiang.

After this battle, no one dared to challenge the Qin army, and all the tribes on the plateau surrendered to Great Qin, and even the Xiangxiong Kingdom also sent envoys to obey Great Qin as the suzerain, officially entering the Great Qin's suzerainty system.

Immediately, the Qin army built cities and dock forts on the plateau.

It maintains a military presence without interfering in the lives of the local tribes.

They were also provided with silk, tea, books, cotton clothes, salt, caramel and so on.

The Chinese civilization had an absolute advantage, and the new style of life was quickly integrated into the local area.

Through trade, Daqin is also gradually transforming the plateau.

However, Buddhism was more anxious than the imperial court, and they swarmed into the plateau, and the expansion was extremely active.

In this era, whether it is Buddhism or simply eating fasting and reciting Buddha, before the transformation of China, the thirst for power is great.

Historically, there were many Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions, and until the Qing Dynasty, they still controlled the plateau and grassland.

The same problem, the people of the plateau are facing a harsh test of survival, and they are still in the stage of slave society, who expects the slaves to read and write?

The upper aristocracy was not very interested in the Confucian system.

The reason why the Western Regions was able to accept Confucianism was because of the huge economic interests, and the two Han Dynasty had been operating for many years and had a certain foundation.

If Confucianism can't do it, it can only come to Buddhism.

However, when Buddhism entered the country of Zhangxiong, it caused discomfort in Bon.

There was tension on both sides, and because of Daqin's face, there was no big fight.

Buddhism also knew that it was necessary to consolidate its position, so it took a step back for the time being.

Historically, it was the conflict between Buddhism and Bon that led to the outbreak of contradictions in Tibet.

Burying a nail on the plateau is naturally a good thing for Daqin, first, to limit the excessive expansion of Buddhism, and second, if the plateau rises in the future, Buddhism is also a dark chess.

In less than half a year, the choke point of the plateau was basically controlled by the Qin army.

The local Qiang people were not disgusted with the Qin army.

When fighting, the Qin army was ferocious, ferocious, and violent, but when it was not fighting, the Qin army was strict in discipline and never harassed the locals.

The hearts of the people on the plateau quickly calmed down.

As soon as the plateau settled, Hehuang immediately ushered in a second spring, and a large number of people poured in, making these borderland prosperous.

The population of Hequ County alone is as high as 110,000 households.

With so many people crammed into one area, the pressure to survive is too great, and it is easy to breed new problems.

Yang Zheng then issued a relocation order, encouraging the Qiang people from the plateau to migrate to the Western Regions and Central Asia, cultivating 100 acres of land or pasture per household, and distributing houses.

Those who are willing to go down the plateau must not have a good life, and the attraction of a hundred acres of land is great.

May there be as many people as a cow who goes.

However, the vast majority still chose Yang Yi, after all, half of his body is the blood of the Qiang people, and his appeal to the Qiang people is great.

Yang Zheng doesn't care, as long as he is willing to go.

There is the Western Regions Protectorate, which can balance the Xia and Han countries
