Chapter 400: Six Towns

It can't be said that Gao Cheng expects Rouran and the Turks to lose both, and it is whimsical for him to make a profit.

In his opinion, he has been giving Ashina Tumen eye medicine in front of Anapu for so many years, such as informing Rouran about the confluence of the Turks and the remnants of Gaoche four years ago, and subsequently revealing that the Turkic envoys were friendly with him.

In the case of Anapu's vigilance, Gao Cheng believed that the struggle for grassland hegemony could not end in a short period of time, and even if the Turks swallowed the 60,000 accounts, their hard power was still not as good as that of the old overlord of Mobei.

Rouran is no longer the shame of the overlord of the grassland, and it will not be defeated quickly.

However, what Gao Cheng didn't know was that Anapu was confident that the Northern Qi would send troops, and deliberately took most of the royal court troops to Huaihuang Town, waiting to join Gao Cheng.

Since 25 years ago, Anapu sent 100,000 troops to quell the uprising of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty and burned the six towns of Northern Xinjiang, neither the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, nor the Northern Qi Dynasty paid attention to the land of the six towns.

First, the soldiers and civilians of the six towns have all moved south, and the hometown of the six towns is uninhabited, and then let the six towns Xianbei, who has seen the prosperity of the Central Plains, return to the bitter cold land, no one will think of the friendship with the two generations of the Gao family, but I am afraid that there will be another rebellion in the six towns.

The second is the division of the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son all take the recovery of Kansai as the first goal, after the unification of the North, Gao Cheng will gradually encroach on the Southern Liang as a national policy, and there will be no time to withdraw and restore the actual jurisdiction of the hometown of the six towns.

Of course, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, he is still in the hometown of the six towns, Gao Cheng is really powerless, and arranges the people to live in the land of Guanlong, which is called migration, but if the people are moved to the north of Xinjiang, it is called distribution.

In fact, even if you don't consider the rebellious psychology of the people when they learn that they are going to Northern Xinjiang, for Gao Cheng, who is bent on covering all the seas, every penny has to be spent on the blade, and he does not want the treasury to continue to transfuse blood for Northern Xinjiang, which is also one of the reasons why he let the hometown of the Six Towns go unchecked.

The land of the six towns was barren, and it was a bloodletting trough in the treasury during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it all relied on the imperial court to transport materials.

In the early years, there was the function of Pingcheng, the capital of Gongwei (Datong, Shanxi), gritted his teeth, and continued to transfuse blood for it, and after Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang, the status of Pingcheng plummeted, and the six towns of Gongwei Pingcheng also became dispensable, and the imperial court was no longer willing to support the six towns, resulting in the embarrassment of the military and civilian life of the six towns, which was the source of all contradictions.

Gao Cheng was unwilling to bother to regain his rule over the six towns in northern Xinjiang when the south was undecided, and spent a lot of money and grain every year to support the people of the new six towns.

This does not mean that Gao Cheng gave up the northern Xinjiang, the poor will put aside the dispute, Da Ze since ancient times, the Northern Qi inherited the Northern Wei Dynasty, the hometown of these six towns has not been the territory of the Northern Qi since ancient times, and so on to pacify the south, and then to solve the territorial dispute with Rouran.

But if the Northern Qi has no jurisdiction over the six towns, it is not necessarily true, at least during the period of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to appease the rebels, he ordered the town to be changed to a state, and gave the six towns all normal rights to the military and civilians.

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were of course more than six towns in northern Xinjiang, strictly speaking, there should be eight towns, and the Book of Wei recorded:

'Suzong took the towns of Woye, Huaishuo, Bogulu, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, Huaihuang, and Yuyi and changed them into states, and their counties were named quasi-ancient cities. ’

It's just that this edict was only implemented in the end on the people of Huaishuo and Wuchuan who stubbornly resisted the rebels.

Emperor Xiaoming ordered that Huaishuo be changed to Shuozhou, under the jurisdiction of Da'an, Guangning, Taiping, and Fuhua four counties, and Wuchuan Town was changed to Shenwu County, which was also under the jurisdiction of Shuozhou.

When Huaishuo was changed to Shuozhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty actually already had a Shuozhou, which was located in the old capital of Shengle (Tuchengzi in the northwest of Inner Mongolia and Lingel), and governed four counties of Shengle, Yunzhong, Jian'an and Zhenxing.

Hu Lujin served as the governor of the six states, his full name was the governor of the six states of the exiles, initially did not refer to the land of the six states, but was responsible for the jurisdiction of the family of the six towns in Jinyang, after Gao Cheng took power, the six towns Xianbei moved south, lost the power to govern the six towns of the people, and was also removed from the official name of the two words of the exiles, became the governor of the six states.

The six states are Shuozhou, Yunzhou, Hengzhou, Xianzhou, Ulzhou, Hengzhou, and the six states do not represent the six towns, except that Shuozhou is merged from the two towns of Huaishuo and Wuchuan, and only the two towns of Huaihuang and Yuyi were placed during the Yongan period of Emperor Xiaozhuang of Ulzhou.

However, it was later found that the cost of maintaining the rule in Ulzhou was too high, and at that time Gao and Rouran were not married, not only to the treasury to transfuse blood to support the people, but also to send troops to garrison, so, in 535 AD, Gao Huan changed Ulzhou to Shanxi, and the governance office was located in the northwest of Pingyao County, Shanxi, and the people all moved westward, in fact, they gave up the two towns of Huaihuang and Yuyi.

Huaihuang, Yuyi and other places were occupied by the herdsmen of Rouran, which is the origin of the territorial dispute between the Northern Qi and Rouran, and the reason why Anapu was able to lead troops to garrison the hometown of Huaihuang Town.

On the way to the Rouran royal court, Ashina Tumen learned that Anapu led the army south, and the royal court only had his eldest son An Luochen leading more than 10,000 people to garrison, which was called empty, and he was even more overjoyed.

But he didn't go straight to the Rouran royal court with the whole army, Ashina Tumen knew very well that if he couldn't destroy the main force led by Anapu, he would just break through the royal court and capture women and children, and in the face of the Rouran army that returned to the division, the outcome was still unknown.

So after summoning the princes and the tribal generals to discuss, after a fierce discussion, Ashina Tumen listened to the suggestion of the second son Ashina Jin, adopted the strategy of dividing troops and sheep to attack the royal court, and the main force set up an ambush, and assigned 10,000 people to be under the command of Ashina Jin, and continued to march to the royal court with him, and he himself was looking for an ambush location on the road with the shortest distance between Huaihuang and Rouran.

Ashina Jin was formerly known as Yandu, because he has served as a Jin for a long time, so he is more often referred to as Ashina Jin.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

In the early years, Tong Jin was the title of the tribal leader, but since Xianbei and Rouran, it has become an official name, which is better than Shangshu.

The nominal heir of the Turkic tribe is Ashina Koro, the eldest son of Ashina Tumen, but because Ashina is fierce and fierce, brave and good at fighting, and resourceful, he is widely admired by the people, which can be said to seriously threaten Ashinakoro's position as the heir.

It's just that unlike the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Turks are facing a critical moment of competing with the Rouran people for the hegemony of the grassland, and once they fail, it will be the end of the death of the clan.

The reasons for the rise of a regime, whether it is the grassland people or the Central Plains dynasty, are varied, but the common denominator lies in the concerted efforts of entrepreneurial groups.

Unbeknownst to both Gao Cheng and Anapu, the Turks bared their fangs and rushed towards their former masters.
