Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Reform is easy to say and difficult to say. The key lies in who is implementing it and who is supporting the implementers.  The Uighurs are an ancient nation. They were originally called Uighurs and were renamed Uighurs during the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty.  Therefore, the Gaochang Uighurs (Xizhou Uighurs) also continued the tradition of their ancestors. Politically, they generally adopted a similar enfeoffment system. The lords of each city had independent independent rights, and the scheduling was not very unified. This is why the Uighurs have always  The reason for not being able to rise.

    When dawn came, all the nobles and city lords came to the palace one after another.

    In the palace, Uighur Queen Garnica sat on the throne, and Chapron sat beside her, accepting everyone's congratulations.

    After the ceremony, the chief of the Yulong clan first said: "Dear Her Majesty the Queen, now that the Uighurs are unified again and no longer suffer from the war, all this is the result of Her Majesty the Queen. I kindly ask Her Majesty the Queen to call me Khan.  Demonstrate its majesty.¡±

    After hearing this, Moge, the chief of the Geduo tribe, also leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, like the leader of Wo Nai, I also agree that your Majesty calls you Khan and offers sacrifices to heaven and earth to show your majesty!"

    "I second the proposal!" The other clan leaders and city lords all said loudly together.

    Xia Bolong spent a month to attack the Uighur language. He studied day and night, let Garnica teach him, and also learned from others. Although the month was short, he learned the Uighur language well and remembered it.  , it is said that without pressure, there will be no motivation, and it is precisely for this reason.  However, Xia Bolong still had a limited understanding of the difficult Uighur language and some local customs.  (The Uighur Altaic language belongs to the Turkic language family.)

    After Garnica heard this, he turned to look at Xia Bolong, not knowing what to do.

    Chabaron didn't need Garnica to translate separately. From Garnica's helpless eyes, he could see Garnica's difficulties, and he opened his mouth and said: "Dear princes and city lords, although the Uighurs are temporarily unified, their potential is  The factors are still cohesive. It has only been a month since the queen took the throne, and the order is not enough to make everyone on the grassland submit. What's more, there is the Black Khan Dynasty in the west, Xixia in the east, Daliao in the north, and Khotan and Huang in the south.  Touhuihe and the Tibetan tribes are ready to move from all directions and surround us in Gaochang. Now that the world has not stabilized, how can we call it a khan?"

    After hearing this, all the city lords nodded repeatedly. One of them, a slightly fat man in white clothes, came out, saluted Xia Bolong, and said lightly: "Your Majesty the Queen, Princess, with my respects, Princess  Every word of his eloquent speech is really precious. We, the Gaochang Uighurs, have suffered from three years of turmoil. People have been displaced from cities and places, and slaves have also been greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, if Her Majesty the Queen openly calls Khan, I am afraid it will attract trouble.  The jealousy and grudges of other tribes on the grassland. The Black Khan Dynasty has always been eyeing us. If the Moman, Wachi and other tribesmen had not tried their best to protect it in the northwest border, I am afraid that the cavalry of the Black Khan Dynasty would have already entered our territory of Gaochang. I think  The princess¡¯s concerns are not unreasonable, your majesty, please think again!¡±

    "Bai Baiwen, you were agreeing just now, why are you objecting again now?" the chief of the Pre-Long Clan asked loudly in his nest.

    Bai Baiwen is a descendant of the Kucha Uighur King. After the Gaochang Uighurs conquered the Kucha Uighurs, the Kucha Uighurs were included in the territory of the Gaochang Uighurs. The Kucha Uighurs were also demoted from the throne to the position of duke, and were hereditary.  Bai Baiwen is the Duke of Qiuci and one of the rare Dukes in Gaochang Uighur territory.

    "Clan Chief Wo Na, I am not following the trend, but discussing the matter. What the princess said is very reasonable, I am just leaning towards the truth." Bai Baiwen said.

    "You Your Majesty the Queen, I am thinking of Your Majesty, and what I say is only what everyone wants. During the time of Bilgo, the Uighurs were in civil strife, and the country was incomplete, so they could not be called Khans. But now Her Majesty the Queen has put an end to the civil strife, and the Uighurs have returned to normal.  After being unified, according to the merits, he should be called Khan!" Wo Na said.

    "Okay, okay, chief of the Wo Na tribe, Duke Bai Baiwen, we should listen to Her Majesty the Queen!" Mo Luo, the chief of the Geduo tribe, understood the truth and immediately came out to persuade.

    When Garnica saw Xia Bolong making a gesture towards her, she stood up, raised her hands high, and said loudly: "All the princes and ministers, please return to your seats and listen to me!"

    After the words fell, Wo Na Na, Bai Baiwen, and Mo Ge returned to their respective places. The main hall of the palace immediately fell silent.

    Garnica cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, the Gaochang Uighurs have just experienced a disaster. No matter whether it is population, economy or army, they have suffered losses, resulting in a decline in national strength. In order to quickly recover Gaochang, the king decided to  Implement reforms across the country!¡±

    "Reform?" After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, looked at each other, doubtful, and finally focused their attention on Garnica.

    Garnica said: "The king has given full authority to the princess regarding the reform."They swallowed and allowed themselves to be manipulated by Xia Bolong, because if they dared to refute, they were afraid that their heads would be broken immediately by Rebu Bala standing in the main hall.

    There was no sound for a long time. Xia Bolong looked around and said: "Since everyone has no point, then the reform system is decided. As for the revision of the aristocratic system, I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow. Everyone, let me have a banquet.  We have already made preparations. Please take your seats and let¡¯s talk while drinking.¡±

    For three days in a row, Xia Bolong made them drunk with fine wine, making them drunken and dreamy. He also sent people to monitor them while they slept, and kept these princes and ministers under strict supervision.  Some weak-willed people couldn't stand it any longer, so they voluntarily gave up their original insistence and agreed to the reform bill one after another.

    In addition, Xia Bolong also took out the aristocratic system within these three days. Except for the heads of clans who still maintain their aristocratic status, everyone else has abolished their aristocratic status. If they want to obtain the aristocratic status, they must have merit.  He also subdivided the five titles of duke, marquis, uncle, son and male into fifteen grades. Each grade has three minor titles, named one, two and three respectively. The first grade is the highest and the third grade is the lowest.  All the special rights of the title were abolished, only the salary given by the palace was retained, and it was declared that if the nobles broke the law, they were as guilty as the common people.  And common people can also be promoted to nobles if they have merit.

    Although all the nobles were extremely dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do. Xia Bolong's army controlled the weapons arsenal. Without weapons, the soldiers of the tribe could not fight.  However, these aristocratic bills that stimulated soldiers and civilians received great support from the grassroots.

    Five days later, after Xia Bolong controlled various nobles and obtained the unanimous consent of all nobles, he promulgated these three reforms. There was joy and sorrow in the Uighur territory.  Among them, the largest group of slaves admired Chabaron very much.  Although the nobles in other cities were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to follow the king's order and move out of the city to Gaochang City, because Xia Bolong firmly controlled their leader.

    After the reform bill was implemented, the Uighur territory gained stability, and the city lords of each city appointed suitable candidates to serve.  Among them, Yizhou and Gaochang have been firmly controlled by Xia Bolong, and he appointed Han Shizhong as the lord of Beiting, Qinba as the lord of Qiuci, and Molu as the lord of Yanqi. The other city lords were recommended by local people with talents.  Take responsibility.

    In this way, the situation in the Uighurs has been stabilized, and the reform has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people!
