Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jin Zhu would never forget the humiliation of being a prisoner of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. To satisfy the young emperor, he danced a Han dance outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.  Although Jin Zhu¡¯s dancing is terrible and her singing is not pleasant at all, Emperor Liu Che doesn¡¯t care at all. He just needs this feeling, the feeling of crushing an enemy.  Liu Che was full of enthusiasm and set his ambition: "One day, I will let the Chanyu of the Huns dance for me like Jinzhu." Cao Shi didn't want to complain about how strange his idea was, and mingled quietly among the ministers.  He had no active thoughts, and he didn't need to worry about the government affairs in the court anyway. Apart from exercising, routine inspections of the Yulin Cavalry, and spending time with his wife and children, he had nothing else to do every day. He happily hid and pretended that he didn't exist.  Liu Huan gave birth to a precious son for him. Cao Shi was very happy every day. He didn't even care much about official affairs and focused on the harmony and beautiful life of his family of three.  Prime Minister Xuchang didn't like to cause trouble very much, and his personality traits were slightly similar to Wei Wan. Bai Zhihou was much more slippery than the previous prime minister who was as hard as a rock. When Cao Shi was in the limelight, he pretended to be a fool, but now he has turned into a fool.  The emperor had monopoly power, but Xuchang was careful to protect himself and tried to avoid direct conflict with the emperor.  Zhang Ou, the censor doctor, was even more thorough. He was famous for his soft temper ten years ago before he was demoted. In the incident of the deposed prince Liu Rong, he was demoted and went out. After several trials, he washed away the impetuous spirit in his body. He is usually not showy or even very cool.  Little did I notice that there was also a Sangong station.  Zhao Zhou is the emperor¡¯s confidant, and he will not provoke the emperor¡¯s dragon power. The three top figures, two large and one small, have no intention of moving. The three princes and nine ministers observe his words and deeds and just follow the emperor¡¯s words.  The finishing touches to the sacrifice of the Imperial Ancestral Temple must be dealt with cleanly.  Thousands of the 120,000 Yelang captives died due to acclimatization, and thousands more remained ill and did not recover.  There are only about 100,000 people available.  Cao Shi¡¯s suggestion was to send the captives to Bashu, Jingman, Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other border areas to become people of Luzuo Fulang, and their families were also sent to the four areas to take root.  In this way, military services are organized to obey the general's temporary dispatch and command.  The nobles of Yelang Kingdom have no chance to escape. If any of them are released and return to Yelang Kingdom, it will cause trouble. Their family members are also on their way to Chang'an. From now on, they will live in Guanzhong and not feel like they are home.  "Your Majesty asked how to deal with the residents of Yelang Kingdom? There are two alternatives. The first is to migrate the residents of Yelang to settle in Neijun for a long time. The second is to migrate the Han people to settle in Yelang Kingdom for a long time." Liu Che asked: "Two options.  "Is there a difference?" "There is a slight difference. The barbarian tribe's internal approach seemed to be good, but in fact it was very ineffective. The Yelang Kingdom was defeated by the Han army, and all the tribes moved inward. The thousands of miles of dense forests were vacated.  It was gradually carved up by other barbarians, and within twenty years several or one powerful barbarian kingdom would emerge in the Yelang Kingdom. By then, it would be a waste to be friendly to the Han family or to hate the Han family. Defeat the Yelang people and move in.  County, free up the territory for the barbarians to continue to recuperate, and then recruit new Yelang people to continue to move inward. This is a waste of national money, and the meaning of conquering the Yelang Kingdom no longer exists. "The emperor was frightened when he heard this.  The management and control of the annexed barbarians has always been a problem. The imperial court could not believe the sincerity of the annexers and had to implement the annexation system. As a result, most of the Xiongnu nobles who had defected to the Han family surrendered and rebelled again, and could only implement it year after year.  A recruitment plan that is doomed to fail.  "The other situation is similar. When the Han people migrated to the savage jungle, if transportation is convenient and frequent, they can still maintain the foundation of Chinese culture. Once communication is interrupted, it will take less than ten years for the centrifugal force to gradually condense. Within two generations, the people will become one  In the isolated civilized wasteland, the Han people there will accept the barbaric life. In the northern border counties, this is called the barbarism of the Han people." Liu Che looked at the plateau mountains on the sand table, surrounded by mountains, where the Yelang barbarians lived.  .  The low-latitude mountainous areas are humid, hot and unbearable. Even if they conquer this area, it means little in the eyes of the Han people. Few people are willing to live there. The only praiseworthy things in the mountainous areas are the timber and mineral reserves. Most of the mineral veins cannot be mined without technology.  , mineral veins within 100 meters of the surface can be mined, which occupies a very small part of the mineral deposits.  "Plundering resources, plundering populations, and plundering everything that can be plundered. A war without benefits is stupid. Only generous war dividends can encourage more people to support the war."  The young emperor could not understand it at first. After becoming the emperor and ruling for more than a year, he gradually understood the meaning. War is the simplest and crudest way to make money. Fighting for land, distribution rights, or all the resources that can be fought for, the ultimate goal is to bring peace to the people of the Han family.  If the country is rich and strong, the country and the country will last for thousands of years and will last for thousands of years.  To win the support of more people, only through continuous war and continuous profits can we get the most firm support. Liu Che¡¯s idea is very simple and crude. He is not afraid of being seen through if his plan is too simple and crude. As long as he has a system with excellent execution capabilities.?He could harness the power of the world through war, and the idea of ??war was rooted in the young emperor's mind.  Liu Che frowned in thought.  "Your Majesty, please be patient. According to the latest statistics, among the dozens of neighbors around us, the Southwest Yi are the smallest and easiest to incorporate. Since we cannot achieve our goal by simply moving in and out, we must  We have to develop new strategies to gain new advantages. This method only requires His Highness to move farmers to several places, exempt them from the mulberry tax for three years, and only pay half the head tax for three years. " "Where do people come from?  "Coming from Jingman and Zhuyue, it involves the preparation plan for the expedition to South Vietnam. I can only give you a rough outline and hope your majesty can understand it." Cao Shi drew a long sloping road on the sand table.  There is not much to say about the relocation plan itself. The people from Hebei were moved to fill the two Huaihe Rivers, the people from the two Huaihe Rivers were moved to fill the Jingman area, the people from the Jingman area were moved to fill the Three Yues, the remaining people from the Three Yue areas were moved to fill the Southwest Yi, and the people of Qi were organized into households to farm.  arable land.  "While the monarch and ministers in Weiyang Palace were questioning each other, on the southern edge of the prairie thousands of miles away, more than a thousand and one warriors were galloping on the grassland, followed by a huge herd of more than 5,000 horses.  The cavalry team walked for three days and nights, stopping and running, and kept moving at a constant speed for almost the entire journey.  When he was thirsty, he drank mare's milk, when he was hungry, he ate solid food, and when he was sleepy, he lay down on his horse to sleep.  The horses move slowly along the stream without worrying about losing their direction.  Almost every nomad has this ability, and the Huns can even perform difficult sexual intercourse actions on horseback.  So he didn¡¯t get off his horse for three days.  The people and horses were exhausted to the limit.  "How far is it from Da Yueshi?" "It's almost there." Lu Hengqian was very thirsty. He took a few mouthfuls of mare's milk and said, "Every time you say it's almost there. How many miles are there?"  Pagma's eyebrows knitted together: "It takes at most forty miles to reach the territory of the Yuezhi people." "Huh! I hope no blind people will block the way." Not only Lu Hengqi grunted, but also the caravan  The old members of the group were not very happy. The ice and snow in the Dawan Kingdom melted in March this year. Zhang Qian, Sima Tan and others originally planned to buy a few sweat horses, but they were not like the people in Dawan who regarded the sweat horses as treasures.  It's like buying a piece of hard-earned money. No matter how rich you are, you won't sell it, and I don't want you to look at it.  Not selling horses even if they have money aroused widespread resentment among the caravans, and subsequent conflicts during several shopping trips further intensified the conflict.  The originally hospitable Dawan people seemed to have changed, and they issued an eviction order against Zhang Qian, Sima Tan and their entourage on the grounds that they would destroy the warm and friendly business atmosphere in Dawan.  By this time, the big and powerful Serb newcomers will also find that something is not right. The Kingdom of Dawan was once part of the Seleucid Kingdom, the Pearl of the East of the Pan-Hellenic Civilization, and called itself the Ionian and the Greek  relationship, but the Dawan people are a purely Serbian-dominated country, and there are several Yamato streams in the Dawan State.  There are also countless small rivers scattered around the basin. The farming and city-building habits that mark city-states are completely different from the Scythians, the relatives of the Dawan people, who still live a nomadic life.  The Dawan people¡¯s farming and city-building habits are Pan-Hellenistic civilization.  They are destined to be good at trading trade goods and dealing with other countries, but they are not particularly good at war. They mainly rely on the defense of the city to resist the nomads who are not good at attacking the city.  The special environment creates a good environment for Dawan people to do business.  Dawan people usually do not break up with customers and will only make choices against their will when faced with extreme pressure.  Just like the Dawan people expelled the Han mission disguised as a caravan, they were afraid of the threat of Wusun, a powerful country in the east.  He was even more afraid of the powerful Huns behind Wusun.  Zhang Qian, Sima Tan, and Ganfu discussed for a long time and finally agreed to leave Dawan. As soon as they left the city, they were attacked by the Wusun cavalry. They fought and fled all the way around the Dawan Basin, and returned  Taking advantage of the chaos, he snatched dozens of high-quality sweat-horses from a racecourse, and left Dawan to pieces for two months. When he finally left, he left the words "We will come back eventually" and almost lost Dawan.  Wanren fainted from anger.  "How far is it?" Gan's father woke up from his sleep.  Pagma also immediately cheered up: "There are still about twenty miles, Zhao Shun is twenty miles directly in front of us, and we will probably meet the Da Yuezhi people soon." He is a warrior of the Xiao Yuezhi people, and  I witnessed with my own eyes that the Yuezhi people who fled more than 20 years ago escaped from Longxing, their ancestral home for generations, at almost the fastest speed. They even rushed to escape without leaving their ancestors. The confidence of the Yuezhi people  It was completely destroyed, leaving only a simple map brought by someone more than ten years ago.  The big Yuezhi people hope in their hearts that the little Yuezhi people will give up their persistence and follow them to the warmer and humid prairie to build a better new home here.  "Be careful, the troops behind you have changed."   "See who it is?" "Hun cavalry, look at the pendant as the king's elite cavalry from King Youxian's tent." Father Gan raised his whip: "Brothers, speed up, we have less than twenty miles left.  Road, you can see the cavalry of the Yueshi people soon, work harder!" After a few whistles, more than 5,000 horses were immediately divided into five groups of people. Thinking of the fifteen-degree deviation movement in front of them, the Huns  The pursuers were all stunned when they saw it. They all ran away. How could they catch them?  Bartusin snorted angrily: "Don't stop, catch up as fast as possible, just kill their main leaders, and the army will automatically collapse." Two thousand horse teams, one in front and one behind, were galloping on the prairie.  The major advantage gained from the number of horses is that the reaction speed of running is relatively slow, and it takes a lot of effort to turn a corner.  The Wusun cavalry followed the Huns at a short distance. They followed the Huns across thousands of rivers and mountains and galloped on foreign lands. They were not here to do voluntary labor.  The price of agreeing to be the guide of the Huns is not small. The original negotiation has changed as the caravan has become stronger and more difficult. In the current contract, the Wusun people will also obtain 80% of the caravan's horses and the ownership of the caravan's goods.  Dalu said with a smile: "You see, if I say a few words, he dares to risk his own life. How clumsy the Huns are in their wisdom." The Wusun people behind him laughed. They belong to the Huns.  It's not wrong, but the Wusun people have always looked down on the short Huns. They are tall and muscular, with deep eyes and beards. Only a small number of mixed-race Huns have similar looks. Most of the Huns are short, thin and have basket-legged legs.  There was no way the proud Wusun people could kneel to the ground willingly.  "Hey, something seems to be wrong up front!" "The caravan reached the high slope and suddenly turned around to face us. It seems that the gang of horse thieves decided to fight to the death." The Huns in front slowed down and slowly formed the team, setting up  The long bow was aimed three hundred steps away and shot out. A strong wind blew over the hill, and all the fluttering arrows fell to the ground.  Bartuson's face changed: "Oops, we have to get back as soon as possible." But the cavalry speed increased, and it was impossible to stop even if they wanted to. The way to stop the door slamming was to slow down slowly, just in time.  The opponent's front line was shot into a sieve, so it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to fight randomly and maybe win a big victory.  There is a long and sloping slope at the foot of the caravan. It takes a while to get from the slope to the top. The cavalry of the caravan all hold longbows and start shooting.  Batu Sen was so angry that he gritted his teeth and ordered to fight back. As a result, the arrows fired by the Huns were deflected by the wind on the hill, making a large group of people on the hill laugh.  "You damn Han people, I will definitely cut off your head and feed it to the wolves!" The long slope is not steep. The main reason is that attacking up the slope against the strong wind is very disadvantageous. The Huns wanted to turn around and scatter, but found that scattering was less efficient.  Tucson angrily cursed: "Prince Dalu of Wusun, come here and help us. If you are later and miss the opportunity, it will be delayed for several months." Dalu also knew the importance of right and wrong, and urged the Xijima to rush up the long slope desperately.  , I have to say that the West Pole horse is a very excellent horse breed, and its mountain climbing ability is at least better than that of the short and sturdy Hun horse.  Halfway through the rush, a strong wind blew up sand and dust that blocked the sun and blocked their eyes. The Huns down the slope were covered in wind and sand and became a mess. The caravan on the slope was still bending their bows and shooting arrows slowly, and every arrow would be fired.  The Huns suffered a lot, and in a short time, seventy or eighty of them died.  Dalu saw that something was not right about the situation: "Follow me and rush up to kill their leader. Batuson is ready for a fight to the death!" Suddenly the arrow rain on the slope became denser, and the Huns and Wusun people were biting each other.  They rushed up the slope, and as expected, they dispersed the caravan at once. When they raised their scimitars and prepared to harvest the fruits of victory, they were shocked to find that the other end of the slope was a flat highland, and three thousand thugs  The cavalrymen carrying the flag of the Great Yueshi Royal Court were waiting quietly on the slope.  The commander of Dayuezhi people, Bakuyin, held his sword motionless, his eyes as cold and sharp as swords and filled with murderous intent: "The Yuezhi people obey the order, kill all the Huns, and capture the Wusun people!"
