Volume 3 Chapter 51 I Have a Dream
Days, after Zhang Han confided his heart, Xi Zhi was excited for a long time. Belligerent danger. However, when it comes to the end, it really can't help but make people's blood boil.
Zhang Han said that his eyes were shining, and a warm flow flowed through his whole body, making his whole person seem to be burning. Reaching out and opening the window, the bitter north wind immediately howled in and filled the carriage. The army that could not be seen from head to tail was rolling north along the gallop road, like a winding red dragon. The sound of neat footsteps gathered together, like thunder, this sound condensed with incomparable power, Zhang Han's heart was surging, and he couldn't help himself. The sudden ** overwhelmed him, Zhang Han was full of confidence, what he said will become a reality,
Xi Zhicai shuddered, and the north wind cooled his fiery mind. Zhang Han's vision is exciting, and if it succeeds, Zhang Han's name will be passed down through the generations, and his own name will naturally be recited for generations to come. However, Xi Zhicai is not as optimistic as Zhang Han. At the same time, Zhang Han didn't notice the drama Zhicai, and he was still galloping in the world of his dreams.
ββ¦β¦
Throughout the ages, internal and external troubles have led to the downfall of countless dynasties. Regardless of the internal worries, the external troubles are nothing more than North Dixirong. Those who spend every year on guarding the border should account for one-seventh of the land rent and one-third of the tax of all the income of the Han Kingdom. Once the situation changed and a war broke out, the expenditure was even more incalculable, and it was easy to pay millions of dollars -- the annual tax payment of the Han Kingdom during the same period was only about 800,000 yuan.
In a word, external troubles have greatly weakened the country's strength, and it has to increase taxes every time to maintain it, and heavy taxes often lead to domestic rebellions, which further deteriorate the country's finances and even shake the country's foundation.
β¦β¦
I have a dream to solve the North Dijon once and for allβto be honest, and to disperse it to the interior to live, and in a little longer, my Han can assimilate it; And those who are not honest will be beaten until they are honest, and those who really refuse to give in will be destroyed without mercy.
I have a dream of unifying the whole world -- from Beihai (Lake Baikal) to Nisnam (Vietnam), from the sea to the Green Mountains, I want to unify them into one country, one nation.
From now on......"
A more moderate ethnic policy was completely out of Zhang Han's consideration. In his view, the two peoples live side by side, and over time, all kinds of contradictions will intensify, which will lead to war. Thinking that in the next thousands of years, hundreds of millions of people died in inter-ethnic conflicts, Zhang Han felt at ease. To put it to the extreme, even if all the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Qiang people were killed, they would only be millions of people -- compared with the former, they can be called a drop in the bucket, and they are not worth talking about. Moreover, Zhang Han also gave a way out - if they join the empire, Zhang Han will treat them equally, and their overall living standards will be significantly improved. It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and those who are stubborn are in the minority after all.
Zhang Han YY saw the development prospects of the Great Han Kingdom when it had the geographical advantage of the United States. Come to think of it, there are no external threats around the Han Dynasty, and occasional civil wars will not affect the inheritance of civilization, and the establishment of a Chinese world is just around the corner. Of course, this finger may take hundreds of years, but this did not affect Zhang Han's good mood at all. As the saying goes, success doesn't have to be me. It is irrefutable that it was he Zhang Han who laid the foundation for all generations.
Just when Zhang Han was about to continue to play his dream, Xi Zhicai had endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, he coughed and interrupted Zhang Han's words:
"Lord, I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it?"
"Oh......"
Zhang Han paused, he realized that he was a little too excited. Xi Zhicai didn't wait for Zhang Han to speak, so he continued:
"Lord, Emperor Wu swept away Mobei, the Huns were defeated, Xianbei and Wuhuan were not in the climate, occupying Mobei is a gesture, but why didn't Emperor Wu occupy there?"
This is not a problem, Zhang Han wants to say this - the bitter cold land of Mobei could not survive in the past, but now there is cotton, coal and ondol, there should be no problem. However, Xi Zhicai is not a person without a purpose, he must have his own considerations when he says this.
The icy cold water was cold from his mouth to his stomach, taking away the last trace of Zhang Han's impetuousness, closing the window, and the carriage became a closed small world again...... Zhang Han thought of his omissions.
"Wen Zang, you mean that the north is bitterly cold, and Hermes-Epitek is reluctant to live there......"
It's not that the Northland can't survive, the Xianbei people can survive, and the Han people can survive as well. However, no one wants to live in a bitter cold place. Large-scale forced migration, simply impossible. Regardless of whether it will provoke revolt, the financial expenses alone are unbearable. And without mass emigration, it would never have been the territory of the empire.
Xi Zhicai bowed slightly:
"Not bad! The lord is benevolent and exempt from light taxes, and the people of the four states are all happy......"
"This ......"
Zhang Han couldn't cry or laugh, Xi Zhicai wasn't praising him - in the original time, Hermes-Epitek had a way, and he wouldn't be willing to live outside the Saiwai, but now his life is much better than before, is there anyone willing to go?
The answer, of course, is, no!
has been in power for many years, and Zhang Han also has a few points
The guidance of the people is nothing more than coercion and inducement. Don't talk about tigers under coercion, forcing the people to flee outside the Saiwai, that is the ability of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, and Zhang Han has no intention of following suit......
"Wen Zang, if I announce: for those who settle outside the Saiwai, 1,000 can be purchased on land, and the land will be relaxed to 1,000 mu. Do you think, will it ......?"
"Lord," Xi Zhicai hesitated, giving an ambiguous return. "Maybe......"
It can be expected that in the near future, the population will fall below 30 million, and the urban population of 10 million will be cut off, and only 20 million, or 4 million peasant households, will be removed. Considering the policy of exempting from taxes and light taxes, it can be asserted that you can live well without going far from the fortress. And in the endless wilderness, hardship is the inevitable result. It is human nature to indulge in leisure and hate hard work......
Xi Zhicai retains his pessimistic view.
"Forget it! We'll talk about it then! β
There will always be a way, Zhang Han comforted himself.
"Wen Zang, let's talk about Shanggu Wuhuan!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
On April 11, the adults and little handsomes of Shanggu Wuhuan gathered together in the big tent of the difficult building.
Nanlou coughed, and the noisy voices in the tent gradually quieted down. Nanlou has served as an adult for more than 20 years, and he is still quite prestigious in the tribe. After a week's scanning, Nanlou was very satisfied with the attitude of the people. Since receiving the news that day, Zhang Han personally commanded the army to go north, crusading against Xianbei in Liaoxi, and asked Wuhuan to send 10,000 cavalry. Nanlou knew that he had no choice but to send troops and cooperate with the Han army to fight against Xianbei.
Speaking of which, Nanlou is not disgusted by this. Anyway, Shanggu Wuhuan has always been on the side of the Han Kingdom for many years. Now, the Han Kingdom is strong, and of course there will be no other choice for Nanlou. Besides, whether it's collusion or fighting, it's all about survival. Liaoxi Xianbei has coveted the upper valley for a long time. If Zhang Han hadn't entered Youzhou and rebuilt the camp to protect Wuhuan, I'm afraid they would have started a war with Xianbei in Liaoxi long ago.
Before sending troops to send troops, Nanlou also had to unify everyone's attitude and confirm the number of troops sent by each city. At this moment, the Han people's need for cattle and horses is as much as possible, and it is not very interesting to send troops. However, the general of the chariot cavalry specially informed him that it was obviously not possible to send troops -- to send people to the fence was to understand the current affairs. Moreover, sending troops naturally also has the advantage of sending troops. Han Chinese slaves were repatriated from the tribe, and there was a shortage of manpower in the tribe. It would be better to send troops and capture some slaves.
Thinking of these things that he didn't have, Nanlou stood up and said loudly to everyone:
"Xianbei Kebi can wait for arrogance and not inferior, colluded with Yan Rou, repeatedly attacked, now the general of the chariot cavalry wants to march to conquer, and ordered me to wait for ten thousand horsemen to accompany ......"
Speaking of Yan Rou, this is also a capable person. When he was a teenager, Yan Rou was taken away by Wuhuan and Xianbei, and as a slave, he was able to gain the trust of the two clans, which is not something that ordinary people can do. In particular, Yan Rou has an excellent relationship with the Xianbei people. After the failure of the army against the Qingzhou army, Zhang Huan's purge of Xian Yu and others frightened Yan Rou - he also had a share in smuggling iron to the outside of the Saiwai. Yan Rou ran outside the plug and went to Xianbei Kebineng in Liaoxi.
Kebineng and Yan Rou are both extremely talented people, the enemy is strong and weak, and they don't want to confront the Han at this time. However, Zhang Li's cruel law prohibits steel from being plugged, which is intolerable to Xianbei people. Zhang Han gave Shanggu Wuhuan a certain amount of iron quota every year, but there was no Xianbei outside the Saiwai. The establishment of the Huwuhuan battalion and the company camp cut off smuggling. Kobi was able to send envoys many times, and repeatedly negotiated, but they were all refused. Iron is a consumable, it will rust and corrode, which will push the Xianbei people to a dead end. As a result, the surrounding environment of Youzhou has been greatly deteriorated, which is one of the reasons why Youzhou needs to maintain a large number of garrisons.
Of course, these things are understood by the leaders below the difficult building, but no one will take them out to talk about them. Anyway, Zhang Han felt that it was true that they were sending troops to recruit Xianbei, and they wanted to find a way to get more benefits.
Therefore, as soon as Nanlou finished talking about things, someone spoke.
"My lord, it's okay for us to send troops, but does Lord Zhang provide weapons?"
"Yes, yes, does Lord Zhang provide weapons?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Wu He said what was in everyone's hearts, and a chorus immediately sounded in the tent. At the beginning, Nanlou sent his eldest son to lead the troops to serve in the Wuhuan battalion, but everyone was reluctant to send people. At this time, I think about it, it was really a mistake. Without it, according to Zhang Han's military practice, soldiers who have served for two years can keep their weapons when they retire from the army, excluding weapons that are forbidden to be owned by civilians.
Shanggu Wuhuan is not short of iron, the quota is negotiable, Zhang Chao is not very good at talking, but as long as there is a real need, Zhang Chao will not deliberately embarrass him. However, the weapons of the Han army were all made of stainless steel, which was extremely sharp, far from being comparable to the iron soldiers. Such a treasure knife has been passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom in Wuhuan.
"Lord Zhang promised to provide weapons, after the war," Nanlou deliberately paused for a moment, "Then it depends on the merits of the war."
A warrior who goes into battle must be decapitated at least one level before he can keep his weapon......"
Nanlou didn't continue, and the cheers in the tent were so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly.
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Lord Nanlou, don't be polite, please get up quickly!"
Zhang Han was saluted and helped him from afar. Nanlou and the others stood up. Nearly 100 people saluted and stood up together, but they were also quite powerful. Zhang Han took a step forward, grabbed the hand of the difficult building, and laughed loudly:
"I have admired the name of the building for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name......"
Nanlou is more than half a hundred years old, he is a black fat man, Zhang Han praised, he will not take it seriously. But Zhang Han is so affectionate, Nanlou can't help but be happy. As everyone knows, Zhang Han took him by the arm, but he regretted it in his heart. In these years, the conditions are limited, and people don't like to take a bath. As soon as Zhang Han approached the difficult building, he felt a strong fishy shame surrounding him, and he couldn't hide his face and walk away.
Good politicians are excellent actors, Zhang Han's face does not change, his heart does not beat, he calmly closes the function of his nose, and talks and laughs all the way. If you pay attention, you can still notice that Zhang Han is gasping for breath, completely breathing through his mouth, and giving up his nose.
"It's too late, and I hope the general will forgive me!"
When Nanlou led the Wuhuan cavalry to Fuyang, it was already April 17, and Zhang Han led the army to arrive the day before yesterday.
"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. This general took the liberty to come, and in a hurry, he was able to lead 10,000 horsemen to come, which was full of hospitality! β
Zhang Han was bold and generous, which made Nanlou feel good. This matter is quite rude, and if Zhang Han investigates it, it will be a sin. Nanlou didn't know it, but this was Zhang Han's intention. When the Wuhuan cavalry arrived, the army had settled in the camp, and the Wuhuan people could only camp in the reserved camp.
As he spoke, the group came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Zhang Han was going to hold a banquet today to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Nanlou and others. It is difficult to accept the hospitality, and the difficult building can only reluctantly accept it. Nanlou ordered the second son to lead the troops and set up camp in the camp, while he led most of the leaders to the banquet. Zhang Han was not stingy and also sent a large amount of wine and meat to the Wuhuan camp.
Both sides intend to have a close relationship with each other, and this wine is naturally delicious to drink. On top of the banquet, Shanggu Taishou Guoyuan and Youzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Chao have prepared rich programs. Northland rouge has long legs and a thin waist, dancing and dancing, with a unique style of grace. When people see it, they don't feel that their eyes are shining. It's beautiful and delicious, and that's probably it. After thirty years of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Just as everyone was toasting, Zhao Yun quietly came to Zhang Han's side - he was ready.
Zhang Hanlang laughed, attracted everyone's attention, and raised his wine glass high:
"Lord Nanlou, Shanggu Wuhuan has guarded the border for my Han for a hundred years, today we rarely get together, I salute my lord!"
"Don't dare, don't dare! When I respect the general, I am! β
Nanlou hurriedly got up, said a few words of humility, and drank the wine glass.
"Where to say, I say deserve, it is deserved!"
Zhang Han was polite in his mouth, and he also raised his wine glass and drank it all. Zhao Yun immediately filled the wine, and Zhang Han raised his glass again:
"Lord Nanlou, Wuhuan has lived in Sene for a hundred years, and I will fight against Xianbei together with my Han, like brothers, a few for a family, I salute my lord!"
Shanggu Wuhuan has guarded the border for the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, and the credit is naturally there. But the days under the fence are not so easy. After listening to Zhang Han's words, Nanlou's wine was surging, his blood was boiling, and his face was flushed:
"The general is false! But with the general's words, we are willing to die on the battlefield! β
After the two of them finished drinking, Zhang Han didn't say much, and raised his glass again:
"Lord Nanlou, let's have a toast for the sake of victory!"
"Cheers to victory!"
The atmosphere was warm, and when they heard this, everyone raised their glasses and said in unison. At this time, Nanlou couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. What Zhang Han prepared was a good wine that had been cellared for many years. Nanlou is the key object of care, and he has not drunk less wine, and this three glasses in a row is embarrassing for him. But for the sake of victory, he can't be excused. I had to fight my spirits and drink it all again.
The picture poor dagger thought, Zhang Han got to the point:
"Lord Nanlou, since we are a family, I will not be polite if I have some words......
The north is bitterly cold, and the Wuhuan of the upper valley has worked hard, and I intend to move it to the mainland to live in peace, I don't know what the adults want! β
ββ¦β¦β
Nanlou was shocked when he heard this, there will be no pie in the sky, Zhang Han said it soundly, but I am afraid that it will annex Shanggu Wuhuan. Nanlou was angry and frightened, shook twice, and slammed to the ground, like a big tree that had been cut down, and almost didn't scrape the case down, and the cups and saucers fell one after anotherβhe was going to escape the banquet with wine.
Zhang Han sneered in his heart, he has already entered the bag, how can he let you escape:
"Someone! Ladies and gentlemen, come and rest in my tent! β
Hearing this, the soldiers entered and quickly surrounded the Wuhuan people. At this great change, everyone was shocked, but they had no weapons except for the meat cutting knife, and even if there were one or two reckless people, it was just in vain.
"Someone will be informed, the wine must be enjoyed, today my master is a guest!" Zhang Han's laughter was only heard by the crowd, and they couldn't make a sound.
