Chapter 43: Conquering the Dark Circle
Since then, he has changed his name to Qiu Bandun, and announced to the Wuhuan tribes that their Wuhuan lords will be Han from now on, and the Qiu Liju tribe has been incorporated into the Han people of Youzhou without resistance.
After the news came out, Su Fuyan surrendered, Yuan Xi went to Liu Xie, canonized Bundun as the Taishou of Liaoxi County, and Su Fuyan as the Taishou of Xuansu County, and moved to Xuanwu County to disperse and live with the Han people.
At the same time, the Wuyan Department in the north of Youbeiping withdrew from Youzhou, but soon found that the clansmen fled one after another, and automatically naturalized the Han Dynasty, and only one Wuhuan person remained in the entire Youzhou.
"Lord, it's hard to see!"
Yuan Xi, who had just returned to Jicheng, had not yet taken a breath, and Nanlou went to Jicheng to ask for a meeting, understanding that the other party was in a hurry, and he did not pretentiously let people in.
"Dahan Qu Shuai, Wuhuan Nanlou to meet the state pastor! Adult Chiaki! ”
As soon as Nanlou came in, he gave Yuan Xi a big gift, but he was stunned by these words.
The Great Han Qu Shuai was indeed canonized by the imperial court in Wuhuan in Youzhou. It's just that it was canonized by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and it has been two hundred years, and no one in Wuhuan has long claimed this title.
In the twenty-fifth year of the establishment of the Han Guangwu Army, the Wuhuan Dadan led 922 Wuhuan tribal leaders to serve the Han Dynasty.
But the effect is not the same as naturalization, Wuhuan retains his nomadic life, but submits to the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to a subject country.
Liu Xiu canonized princes and other titles for this, and most of the tribal leaders were named Qu Shuai.
The meaning of Nanlou's words is actually that I was originally a subordinate of the Han Dynasty, and it is wrong for you Yuan Xi to do this, it is against the emperor and forced the Wuhuan people to be cattle and horses.
Yuan Xi, who reacted, laughed and said: "Brother Nanlou's words are bad! The Han Qu Shuai didn't dare to rob the people, but since Huan Ling, Wuhuan has robbed the Han people, I think the virtuous brother still doesn't want to insist, it's all a family, why bother. ”
Nanlou's face changed slightly, and he peeked at Yuan Xi and found that he was looking at him with burning eyes, and his heart sank.
After being entangled for a long time, he said: "My brother is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, but I am not, and you are not my elders, Xianyi, you are not my elders, we are two equals, and if you want to descend, you can only descend to Han, not Youzhou." ”
Yuan Xi stared at him, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Xian has thought about it, you must know that the first emperor Guangwu didn't let you enter Youzhou so deeply, just nomadic near the Great Wall, responsible for guarding the Great Wall, if you want to turn out the old calendar, then I can only follow the laws of the imperial court." ”
Nanlou's face tightened, and he said toughly: "The Great Wall is the Great Wall, it's a big deal that our department withdraws to Wuhuan Mountain, doesn't Badun become a Han person, then Wuhuan Mountain can no longer be occupied." ”
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!"
Yuan Xi asked solemnly, Nanlou squeezed out a word with difficulty, his palms were full of sweat, and now his subordinates were by no means opponents of Youzhou, and he was like a mirror in his heart.
It's just that I'm not willing to be annexed, so I plan to negotiate the best, and if it doesn't work, I'll return to Wuhuan's hometown.
Wuhuan Mountain is in the Horqin grassland, at the southern end of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and is indeed a good pasture with abundant water and grass.
But as the Wuhuan people continued to move south into Youzhou, except for the royal court near Wuhuan Mountain, the rest were scattered herdsmen.
After all, no matter how good the pasture is, life is not as comfortable as the Han people's residence, and generations of leaders, in the continuous contact with the Han people, have learned to live a comfortable life, and never want to go to the grassland again.
Moreover, Wuhuan Mountain is surrounded by strong enemies, and Wuhuan was not afraid when it was strong, but after Qiu Liju, Wuhuan weakened a lot.
Buyeo and Goguryeo in the east, Xianbei in the north, Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu in the west, except for Youzhou in the south, it can be said that they are enemies on three sides.
"Okay, the twisted melon is not sweet, I will not stop Brother Nanlou if he wants to go back, but from now on, we will break off our kindness and righteousness, and we will not invade each other!"
As soon as Yuan Xi's voice fell, Nanlou's face changed again, although he didn't want to integrate into the big Han, he didn't want to break away from the big Han.
He is willing not to invade each other, but the break between grace and righteousness is a disaster for him, if he is invaded by other nomads, he can no longer get the help of the Han, he must not be blinded.
"No, Xianyi, Wuhuan still has the responsibility of guarding the Great Wall, and Nanlou doesn't dare to forget the rules of the ancestors."
The building was in a hurry, the Han Dynasty did not build the Great Wall, but Youzhou had the Great Wall of the Yan Zhao era, which was rebuilt after the Great Qin unified the world.
The Great Wall of Qin advanced farther than the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, almost to the middle of Inner Mongolia in later generations, but remained basically unchanged in the Liaodong area.
If you count from Shanhaiguan, it includes the entire Liaoning Province, as well as the southeast of Jilin Province, all the way to North Korea.
Surrounded on three sides, one side by the sea, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was completely demolished by the Jurchens.
"Nanlou, it's not me who scares you, the eastern Xianbei has long coveted the grasslands around Wuhuan Mountain, and Goguryeo has also been seeking expansion over the years, so it's really not a good idea to move back to Wuhuan Mountain."
Seeing the change in color of the difficult building, Yuan Xi said earnestly, with a great feeling of putting his heart in his heart, which made it impossible to ignore his sincerity.
Nanlou didn't know that he was alone and couldn't support himself, and there were Wuhuan people in Bingzhou, but they were all small tribes, and there were no strong big tribes at all.
This is actually to blame himself, when Qiu Liju passed the position to Badun, he was unwilling, after all, he was orthodox.
But he was young at the time and didn't understand his father, so he had been at odds with Badun, and the Wuhuan people who had originally gathered together were torn apart by the dispute between their brothers.
It wasn't until I grew up over the years that I understood my father's hard work, if I had let him take the throne in the first place, I was afraid that I would not even be able to save my life.
After all, he must be grateful to his uncle for letting him inherit the kindness, and will not kill him completely, and even give in everywhere.
And Badun's vision was farther than him, and he took refuge in Yuan Shao early, at that time Gongsun Chan was still very strong, and it was by helping Yuan Shao beat Gongsun Chan that Badun gained a firm foothold.
and married the daughter of the Yuan family, and has always maintained a close relationship with the Yuan family, Nanlou also benefited, expanding his territory in Shanggu County, and Yuan Shao did not settle accounts with him.
"The second son has a good way, and Nanlou will definitely listen to you."
Nanlou's tone softened, but it could be seen that he was still unwilling to naturalize, Yuan Xi smiled and looked at Xin Bi.
The corners of Xin Bi's mouth twitched, and he bowed and said: "Lord, my subordinates think it's better than this, and now that the Daijun has also taken it back, it is better to move the Nanlou Department to the northern pass of the two counties, so that there is no need to disperse the troops, and it can communicate with the inside and outside of Youzhou, what do you think?" ”
The control area of the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty was never within the Great Wall, and the outside of the Great Wall also belonged to the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, and the northernmost jurisdiction of Shanggu County was until the Taifu Temple Banner of Inner Mongolia in later generations.
The whole territory is about Changping in the north of Beijing, Zhangjiakou until the Taifu Temple Banner, the west is Xiaowutai Mountain and Dai County is adjacent to it, the east is Juyongguan, the north is the Yanshan Mountain Range, and the south is the Jundu Mountain.
