Transformed into summer
Not long after Guo Kai and Han Jiang left the Western Regions, King Youxian of the Xiongnu also returned to his royal court.
With the return of King Youxian, the situation in the Western Regions began to become tense.
First of all, the European Brexit Department, which has been unable to shrink in recent days, has begun to become more proactive.
Since September of the fourth year of Taishi, the European Union Ministry has continuously sent troops to harass the Pulei and A'ai areas.
Facing the Huns' attack, the two countries were unable to resist, so they had to ask for help from the Han army.
The Han troops stationed in A'e and Pulei had to assist the two countries in resisting the Huns.
For a time, the Han and Hungarian cavalry continued to have small-scale conflicts in A'ai and Pulei.
At most, there will be more than ten small-scale conflicts in a day.
The tense situation between the Han and Hungarians also made the countries near the areas controlled by the Han and Hungarians nervous.
Various countries asked Zhang Yue one after another to send Han troops to move into their countries.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Yue and the Han army did not show any signs of nervousness.
Apart from sending 300 additional cavalry to Jiaohe City, no other actions were taken.
Last year's cold winter caused severe white disasters on the grasslands, causing the death of a large number of people and livestock.
Even if King Youxian wanted to launch a war, he, like the Han Dynasty, could not provide enough supplies.
If the war is forced, even if they win, the Huns will not be able to survive this winter easily.
Precisely because he knew the Xiongnu's distress, Zhang Yue was not worried about a war at all.
As for small-scale conflicts, starting from the siege of Mayi, there has never been an end between Han and Huns.
It is precisely based on this that Luntai did not carry out any mobilization and continued to develop in an orderly manner according to Zhang Yue's plan.
In October of the fourth year of Taishi, Luntai Official School was finally completed.
Zhang Yue issued orders to the countries in the Western Regions in the name of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
All princes who are ten years old and above are ordered to study in Luntai Official School.
Naturally, the first ones to enter Luntai Official School were Wusun princes Yuan Guimi and Wujiutu.
In order to better communicate with people in Luntai, Yuan Guimi also took the Chinese name Liu Gui.
Wujiutu, perhaps influenced by his mother, a Hun princess, always insisted on using his own Wusun name.
Not only that, he also deliberately kept a distance from the big man in his daily life.
However, Zhang Yue did not take it seriously. He had absolute confidence in Han culture.
Civilization and barbarism stay together. As long as barbarism and backwardness do not destroy civilization at the first time, they will be assimilated sooner or later.
This is a truth that has been proven through thousands of years of practice.
This is a subtle process, even if you resist it deliberately, it is useless. Daily life can change people unconsciously.
After Yuan Guimi and Wujiitu entered the school, soon the princes of Qiuci, Gumo, Wulei, Yuli, Shanshan and Yanqi also entered the school one after another.
The other princes are also on their way.
Zhang Yue believed that through such subtle education, within three generations, these countries within the Han army's sphere of influence could be transformed into Huaxia.
However, just when the official education was successfully carried out, there were also voices of protest in various countries.
Among them, the three kingdoms of Loulan, Yuli and Qiuci, which have the highest degree of Chineseization, are the most intense.
What the countries objected to was not the fact that their princes entered Luntai Official School to study.
Instead, he believed that official schools should not only admit princes from various countries, but should expand the scope of enrollment and allow children of nobles from various countries to enroll.
The nobles of various countries also have aspirations to learn from the Han Dynasty, and the Luntai Official School should increase its enrollment scope and number of students.
After two Qiuci nobles learned that the official school would not admit the children of nobles from other countries, they took their children directly from Yancheng to the Luntai official school and led the children at home to protest...
The actions of the two Kucha nobles inspired nobles from various countries, and nobles from various countries applied for admission to the Han envoys stationed in their countries.
Zhang Yue originally planned to recruit only princes from various kingdoms, but he was just worried that he would be ruined if he took too big a step.
Since the nobles of various countries have the intention of sending their children to school to study in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yue naturally followed the good example.
After some discussion, Zhang Yue quickly issued a new order, and the official school was increased from two classes to five classes.
The number of students enrolled has increased from the planned 60 to 150.
However, this number was also unable to meet the needs of various countries, so another examination was added.
However, the assessment standards are different from those of later generations.
After some discussion at Luntai University, the admission requirements for Luntai Official School were mainly assessed in five categories.
The first and most important thing is of course the Chinese test. How can you study normally if you don’t understand the language?
Secondly, students from the Luntai Military Academy will be commanders of the Yi Cong Legion in the future. Basic combat skills are of course a must.
Third, Han etiquette, as the saying goes, "A rat has skin, a man has no manners, and a man has no manners, he will be kicked to death!" As a civilized person, etiquette is naturally indispensable.
Fourth, long-distance running with armed weights. As a future noble officer, your health must not be bad, so long-distance running is naturally inevitable.
Fifth, arithmetic. As a future aristocratic commander, if you don't even know basic calculations, how can you rule a country, and how can you command an army to ride and kill.
As soon as these five assessment standards came out, not only did they not scare the nobles of various countries, but they attracted more people to follow them.
Even envoys from various countries outside the areas controlled by the Han army came to inquire about admission matters.
In this era, knowledge is the most precious in any country.
It can be seen from the entrance examination established by Luntai Official School that once you enter this Luntai Official School, you will definitely learn a lot of useful knowledge from the Han Dynasty.
As the most civilized, developed, prosperous and powerful man in the known world, one can imagine his attraction to other countries.
Originally, some small countries had the intention to imitate the Han Dynasty, but the road to Chang'an was far away, and they had the intention but were unable to do so.
Nowadays, the opening of Luntai Official School has greatly shortened the distance and the cost of studying abroad has also dropped significantly.
With the establishment of Luntai Official School, the Han style gradually emerged in various countries.
The status of people who can read Chinese characters and speak Chinese is gradually improving.
In countries such as Qiuci, Gumo, Yuli, and Shanshan, such a recognition even appeared.
Only savage and lowly people use the original dialect.
Chinese language, Chinese characters, Hanfu, and various Chinese-style utensils and buildings are symbols of nobility.
King Qiuci and King Gumo even demolished their original luxurious palaces.
Instead, he built his own new palace based on the model of Weiyang Palace.
As for Yuli, the Yanqi countries also renovated the palace. Although they did not demolish the palace, they replaced all the furniture in the palace with Chinese style.
Since ancient times, it has always been "what is good at the top will be bad at the bottom!"
The kings of all countries are like this, and the noble businessmen below are even more crazy in their pursuit of everything Han-style.
In their imagination, everything about a big man is sweet.
Such a trend made Mani and Zhao Yi ecstatic.
Just like pottery, the two of them made a lot of money!
Zhang Yue was even more delighted. If this continues, the Western Regions will be completely occupied by China within three generations...
