Wang Daxu has done this kind of escort work countless times.
I am already familiar with the process.
He looked back at the Qiang cavalry in his team and ordered: "Li Aling, go and tell those Qiang people to follow us and stop wandering around, otherwise we will be punished accordingly!"
The Qiang cavalryman named Li Aling accepted the order, clapped his horse and went to talk to the fleeing Qiang people.
Soon, Li Aning came back to report: "Reporting to Tiha, the general has told them the military order of Tiha. In addition, the general has also found out which family they belong to?"
"Which one is it from?" Wang Daxu asked casually.
"Report Tiha..." Li Aning said: "They said that they were a tribe that had relocated and fled from Tiandu Mountain to Huizhou. With the grace of Wang Taiwei (Wang Wenyu) of Huizhou, he sent people to Xizhou."
"Do you want to move home?" Wang Dazhao was stunned for a moment.
In an instant, a piece of information he had memorized by rote came out of his mind.
Moved without a home - Dangxiang's clan originally lived in Hengshan. He was defeated by Zhang Dujian (Zhang Shouyue) of Huanzhou, and then moved to Nanmouhui to guard the palace for Yuanhao. Li Duzhi (Li Xian) defeated Nanmouhui.
, the remaining people fled into Tiandu.
These are the words written in the pamphlet given to him by You Zhizhou, the new governor of Xizhou last year.
Although Wang Daxu is not good at reading and cannot write articles, and can only barely read, he has a good memory.
Therefore, he kept in mind the words about the Dangxiang tribes and the Qiang people in Hengshan in the booklet about traveling to Zhizhou.
So he knew instantly that those people were not Qiang people, but Dangxiang people.
And it was the Dangxiang tribe that had fought with the Song Dynasty!
Therefore, Wang Daxu couldn't help but subconsciously put his hand on the short knife at his waist. He looked at Li Aning: "Dangxiang people!?"
Li Aning nodded: "When I return to Tiha, I am indeed from Dangxiang!"
Wang Daxu reacted, laughed awkwardly, and removed his hand from the short knife at his waist.
Although he has been in Xihe for more than a year, he is still a little nervous about the party members.
Fortunately, I have almost adapted to Xihe now.
Unlike Bianjing, this place is almost entirely populated by Han people. In the prefectures along Xihe Road, Tibetan and Han people live together.
Han people, Tubo people, Qiang people, and Dangxiang people are neighbors to each other.
The army is also filled with a large number of Qiang, Tubo, Dangxiang and even Uighurs from the Western Regions.
"Why does the house look like this?" Wang Daxu asked.
He remembered very carefully that in the booklet of You Zhizhou, it was written about the eviction of the home - there were six standards for the eviction of the home, including one thousand, two hundred and twenty-five strong men, more than three hundred strong horses, and forty-eight teams.
Although, that was what happened when Li Duzhi destroyed the Nanmou Society and set fire to the front of Tiandu Mountain.
But it’s not so miserable, right?
Back then, the cavalry alone had more than 300 people and could pull out more than 1,200 soldiers. How did the Yimojia become what it is now?
Li Aning sighed and said, "It's not the Western thieves' fault!"
"In the past two years, Tiandu Mountain and Hengshan Mountain have been experiencing continuous drought."
"The Western thieves again violently expropriated various tribes, breaking their bones and sucking out their marrow..."
"The tribes really can't survive, so they can only come to the Song Dynasty to ask for help!"
When he said this, a trace of hatred clearly flashed in Li Aning's eyes.
Wang Daxu nodded and said with emotion: "The Western thieves are indeed jackals and beasts, but they are so ruthless even with their own clansmen and the same clansmen who once guarded the chief's palace."
Li Aning sneered: "Chief Wei Mingchou, how can you ever regard other parties and the Qiang tribe as human beings?"
His ancestors were Qiang chiefs who lived in Hengshan. They were conferred by Li Jiqian and became the leader of the Tibetan tribe. They were also loyal to Wei Mingjia and followed Yuan Hao through life and death, but so what?
It was not that they were forced to have no way out by the Wei Ming family. In the end, they had no choice but to move their entire clan to the Song Dynasty more than thirty years ago. When they fled into the Song Dynasty, only more than 300 young people were left in the large tribe of several thousand people.
They were women and children, but the old and the weak all died on the way to escape. It was a terrible tragedy.
After the whole family moved to the Song Dynasty, they were initially settled in the Bao'an Army. In order to integrate into the Bao'an Army, they falsely called themselves Tang Suzong and claimed their surname was Li because of the family legend that their ancestors came from Lingwu.
As for Li Aning's branch, they followed Wang Xiangmin Gong (Wang Shao) to Xihe more than ten years ago, and then settled here and took root. Now they can be regarded as a powerful tribe in Xizhou.
There are more than a thousand young men alone, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and more than a thousand horses.
The patriarch Li Zhongshun was also canonized for his meritorious service, and was appointed as Zuo Shijin, the military commander of the Tibetan tribe, and served as an inspector of the Tibetan tribe.
In Xizhou, although they are not as powerful as the Bao family (Brothers Bao Yue and Bao Shun), the Yang family is still a powerful family.
However, all this has nothing to do with Li Aning.
His father was just the cousin of Li Baoshun, the current leader of the Li clan. His status in the clan was not high, and there were many brothers in his family, so as soon as he came of age, his parents gave him a horse and asked him to make a living by himself.
Li Aning had nowhere to go, so he simply rode on his horse and joined the Song army. He ate the royal food from Zhao Guan's family and arrived there.
It is now in its fifth year.
But he will not forget the blood feud of the tribe!
Therefore, when Li Aning encountered Western bandit soldiers and horses on the battlefield, they were even more ferocious than his Han colleagues!
Every time I mention Wei Mingjia, I grit my teeth even more.
This is also a characteristic of many Han Qiang people and even Dangxiang people.
They hate Wei Mingjia even more than the Han people, and want to destroy Wei Mingjia's country even more!
Wang Daxu didn't think much and said to Li Aning: "Let's protect these people and return to Nanguan Fort first."
"promise!"
Therefore, Wang Daxu led the patrol team under his command and escorted more than 300 party members back towards Nanguan Fort.
…
Escorting the team that moved their homes, they walked along Didao and soon entered the river valley area.
In the distance, you can already see the spectacular scene of cotton fields.
The cotton fields begin to wither at the end of July.
The branches and leaves on the kapok are starting to die, but this is a good thing!
The Li people who were hired by the Gao family from Yazhou and other places with huge sums of money told me that kapok was like this. It had to wither completely and had to be exposed to the sun for more than ten days or even a month before it could be picked.
So I looked around and saw that the vast fields were filled with snow-white cotton wool.
Wang Daxu looked at these cotton fields and remembered the one hundred acres of cotton fields he planted. Last winter, he was given three hundred acres of land for his contribution to welcoming Renduo Baozhong. With the original one hundred acres, he now owns
Four hundred acres of land.
Unfortunately, due to lack of cotton seeds, only 100 acres of cotton fields were planted this year.
But he did not leave the rest of the land idle.
Let the hired Qiang people plant a hundred acres of alfalfa - this is used to feed livestock.
The remaining two hundred acres were planted with millet, wheat, highland barley and beans.
Mainly beans!
There was no way around it. Although Didao was irrigated by the Wei River, his land was also adjacent to Xiang Qianha's family's land, so he could enjoy the convenience of drawing water from the waterwheel built by Qianha's family.
But in the past two years, the weather has been dry, the river flow has been insufficient, and irrigation water has been in short supply.
So you can only grow beans that don’t require much water.
So does everyone else.
Especially those wealthy Qiang and Tibetan tribes who have no cotton seeds but cultivate the land.
As a result, this year Xihe Road achieved basic self-sufficiency in food for the first time.
This is also the material basis for Xihe Road to accept a large number of fleeing tribes.
Wang Daxu didn't know this, he was just doing his job diligently.
Only when passing by the 400 acres of land that belonged to him, I jumped for joy.
His one hundred acres of cotton fields were well taken care of by the workers he hired.
The plump white flower buds fluttered in the breeze against the sunshine of Xihe River.
This made Wang Daxu extremely satisfied.
This is all money!
Money worth hundreds or even thousands of guan.
…
Wang Daxu escorted the fleeing "righteous people" and finally arrived at Nanguan Fort in the evening of that day.
This is the throat that controls Dido.
Under the fortress, porridge sheds have already been set up, and there are more than one.
The "Guiming people" who fled to the Song Dynasty were of course more than just "immigrants".
When Wang Daxu arrived at the foot of the Walled City, an acquaintance immediately came to greet him.
The grandson of the Bao Shun family, a local extravagant family in Xizhou, is called Bao Zhongguan. He is about the same age as Wang Daxu.
Ever since Wang Daxu was promoted, he had been deliberately getting close to him and never acted like the grandson of a powerful Qiang chief in front of him, just like the children of the merchants Wang Daxu met in Bianjing City.
He was always kind and cheerful, smiling all day long: "Thank you for your hard work, King Tiha!" Bao Zhongguan smiled, took the initiative to come forward, and took the king's horse: "I have prepared for Tiha and all the brothers in the fort.
It’s time to eat and drink!”
"Please also thank Tihar and the brothers for their respect."
Wang Daxu got off his horse, raised his hands to Bao Zhongguan and said: "How dare you trouble the office? Ashamed! Ashamed!"
"Please!" Bao Zhongguan smiled and handed over his hands, and behind him, dozens of young men from the Bao family had already greeted the "Guiming Yimin" who had been brought back by Wang Daxu to "move home".
They greeted these people using proficient party language.
Wang Daxu didn't care too much.
Does he know what Guan Bao Zhong is doing?
It is nothing more than trying to get a foothold on those young people who have been displaced and do not know the reality of the Xihe River. First, they can gain favor with a meal of highland barley and bean porridge, and then let them get the deed of "Zhongyi Yaxing" in the Bao family.
They signed a pledge and agreed that 'Zhongyi Dental Store' would be responsible for introducing them to work in the next five years.
This is a very popular way of operating in Xihe now.
The "Gui Ming people" who returned to Yi were no matter whether they were Tubo people, Qiang people, or Dangxiang people.
There must be a Yaxing approved by Xihe Lanhui Road Manager and Appeasement Envoy to make unified arrangements for docking with Mianzhuang.
This is not only the official meaning of Xiang and Gao, but also the official meaning of the manager.
After these three people reached an agreement, there was no force that could stop Xihe Road.
As a result, Yahang became an organization that monopolized labor.
And those who can set up a dental shop are all from the wealthy and luxurious families of Xihe Road!
For example, the Bao family and Yang family in Xizhou were large Qiang tycoons with tens of thousands of members in the past.
Or the Zhao family in Qinzhou, a noble family from Tubo.
There are also the two big leaders on the Tubo side who please the Xiang family and the Gao family.
This is a game only the big guys can afford.
Wang Daxu is no stranger to this.
Because Bianjing City is like this.
In the past, his younger brother Daqiang fought against Bao in Bianjing City and had to go through Yaxing to find a job.
When foreigners come to Beijing, unless they live in a hotel, if they want to rent a house, they need to be introduced by Yaxing.
Yaxing is everywhere, interfering with the production and life of Bianjing.
Wang Daxu has long been used to it.
But Wang Daxu didn't know that just when he was led by Bao Zhongguan into Nanguan Fort.
Behind him, two men in ragged clothes, dressed like refugees, were gaping at the scene in front of Nanguan Fort at dusk.
Big pots, steaming hot.
Thousands of ragged Qiang, Dangxiang, and Tubo people lined up in front of these porridge shacks.
The smell of highland barley and beans wafted into their noses.
Their eyes were full of fear.
Along the way, everything they saw and heard also emerged in their hearts.
Fear becomes more intense, panic
Because along the way, there are vast stretches of wilderness on both sides of the originally desolate Didao.
Although I didn’t see much corn, wheat, highland barley and other staple foods.
What catches the eye is not a small tree-like crop with white ‘buds’ growing on its top.
Just all kinds of grass and beans.
However……
This vast wilderness in the past was eventually reclaimed into land by the southern barbarians.
Moreover, these lands are taken care of.
Groups of Tubo people, Qiang people, and Dangxiang people were buried in the fields, waving sickles, stacking haystacks, drying grass, and digging beans.
Soybeans, mung beans, adzuki beans...
In the end, their pupils reflected the huge wooden waterwheels they saw on the road, standing on the river.
And the channels that were dug out.
The Southern Barbarians have reclaimed this desolate land into fertile soil!
And everything they saw before them told them, how did the Nanman do it?
Taking advantage of the disaster in the Dabai Gao Kingdom, they actually opened the country's gates and used food to seduce the simple herdsmen, the ignorant Qiang people, and even the Tubo people on the Qingtang Plateau.
Then, let the simple herdsmen, serfs, and those Qiang people who only know how to eat in the Dabai Gao Kingdom, and the Tubo people reclaim and farm the land for them!
"No wonder many of the fortresses in Tiandu Mountain are already empty..."
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The two men were cursing in a low voice, whether they were cursing the Southern Barbarians or the Qiang and Dangxiang tribes who defected to the Southern Barbarians for a little food, regardless of the kindness of the soldiers.
Fortunately, the Prime Minister had already heard about it. Not only did they sneak into the southern barbarians for investigation, but they also sent soldiers and horses to station in Tiandu Mountain. They believed that they would soon be able to block the escape route of those ungrateful Qiang people and party serfs.
At the same time, doubts also arose in the minds of these two people.
This southern barbarian border fortress does not restrict or screen people entering the country at all.
Aren't they afraid that the Gao Kingdom will repeat the story of the founding of the country and the raising of troops - entering the city carefully and coordinating the inside and outside.
Dabai Gaoguo relied on this method to easily capture the fortresses that could not be conquered from the front.
Even the Jinming Village guarded by Mr. Iron Wall was captured by Dabai Gaoguo because of this.
From then on, the Southern Barbarians no longer dared to accept deserters and rebels at will.
but now……
What happened to them?
Aren't you afraid that Bai Gao will repeat his old tricks?
Soon, the two men knew the answer.
Because when they appeared, someone immediately stared at them.
Then he greeted me warmly.
"You two, are you hungry?"
"My lord Renyi has already cooked porridge and rice. Please come over and use it!"
The two of them were still thinking about how to answer.
The other party was already surrounding them from left to right, walking towards the porridge shed, extremely affectionate.
Can you not be affectionate?
They are all strong men who have come to farm the land for them!
Especially now that everyone can see the situation in the kapok fields with their own eyes, and at the same time everyone has personally experienced the benefits of hiring workers.
Even if you don’t plant cotton, just plant some barley, millet, pasture and beans, it would be great!
Xiang and Gao, two national relatives, set up a courtyard in various places.
Today, the furnace is being forged every day.
Pieces of farm tools were built and then sold to everyone.
The wealthy families in Xihe have never been so comfortable as they are now.
We need people, we need food, we need iron tools.
Soon, everyone was not even short of money.
This is a magical day!
"By the way..." Several strong Qiang men from Kongwu led people to line up in front of the porridge shed set up by their family, and then asked: "What are your names?"
"Ami!"
"Dubuk!"
The two young party members raised their heads.
If Zhao Xu were here, he might be able to think of something when he heard their names.
In his previous life, in the fifth year of Shaosheng, there was the first battle of Pingxia City.
The Xixia commander in charge of the troops was named Weiming Ami, and the supervisor was named Meradubuke.
