Chapter 2880: Afraid of power but not virtue
The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were a pit. They always feared power but did not have virtue. During the Western Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was so powerful that it was terrible, the thirty-six countries came over to make various contributions. When the Western Han Dynasty fell, they would be considered as having no Central Plains.
This is also the reason why Ban Chao went to the Western Regions to have a lot of tricks. When this guy went there, he was probably already thinking about trying to calm this group of unfaithful people.
When the Eastern Han Dynasty was founded, the thirty-six countries found that the Han Dynasty was high and the emperor was far away, so they could not control them. There was another thigh called the Northern Huns next to them, so they decisively hugged the Northern Huns.
There is nothing to say later. Dou Xian personally brought a group of brothers to the north and killed them.
There is no way, there is really no good review of the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Huns - either you die or I die. Anyway, as long as I find your traces, even if you hide in a remote area, you will never look at the place you are in person, and I will personally go over and kill you.
Although Dou Xian's political level was a mess, his ability was still very guaranteed. So he chopped the Northern Huns into a paralysis in Yanran Mountains, and then he chased them all the way, chasing them directly to Altai Mountains and finally chopped the Northern Huns aristocrats to death.
The Altai Mountains are almost in the form of northwest to southeast. On the current map, they are almost across China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Russia. In that era, they collectively belong to the Western Regions. Simply put, Dou Xian led his army to chase and chop, killing the Northern Huns while conducting armed parades in the 36 countries in the Western Regions.
No one said what happened during this period, but if you say nothing happened, no one believed it.
Anyway, after killing the Northern Huns, Dou Xian returned to the court, and then went back to commit a great death, so he died. The 36 countries in the Western Regions quickly sent someone to call him dad.
It can be said that Ban Chao was able to act as a mighty person in the Western Regions, and even the other emperor dared to cut it off in front of the other ministers. To put it bluntly, it is because these guys are all in trouble. Killing them is not wrong at the level of the Han Empire. More importantly, Dou Xian just came to the armed parade in this place.
Dou Xian didn't understand diplomacy, but Dou Xian knew very well when he started the war. That period could be said to be the most obedient period in the Western Regions during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, how to say it, Ban Chao was powerful and generous and obedient to the 36 countries in the Western Regions. After Ban Chao fell, the Qiang chaos began a few years ago. With such an obstacle, the 36 countries began to jump again. At the beginning, the Wuji Captain could still suppress it, but there was no good idea later.
Later, the Han Dynasty was in great danger, such as the harem interfering in politics, such as the foreign relatives abusing power, such as the eunuchs abusing power, and they were in a mess, and they had no energy to manage the Western Regions. Therefore, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions let themselves go again and did not take the Han Dynasty seriously.
Until a few years ago, Li Jue and others were kicked to the Western Regions to be the Wuji School Captain.
Unlike those guys who were barely reasonable before, Li Jue was unreasonable. Well, if you compare with Ban Chao, you are even more unreasonable than Ban Chao.
You tell me about benevolence and righteousness, and I am your father.
Tell me about etiquette, I am your father.
You tell me about the policy, I am your father.
Relying on Li Jue's father's thinking, Li Jue successfully became the supreme emperor of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. There is basically nothing to say about this. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is too hard, and it is unreasonable to destroy the country if you say you are destroyed. Dad thinks you are unhappy and beat you to love you!
Under such a policy that there is no way to resist, the 36 countries quickly adapted to it. There is no way, but this is the case. In addition, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has occasionally passed by the 36 countries in the Western Regions. The scale and elite level of the 36 countries understand that destroying you is like playing.
When the Pamir base was built, the thirty-six countries were basically scared. No one dared to speak nonsense in this wave. The glory of the Han Empire shone on the thirty-six countries again.
Therefore, this time the Han Empire announced that it was going to beat people and asked the dispatched army to follow. None of the 36 countries dared to object, so they quickly gathered the number of people for the Han Dynasty, and even dared not mention the matter of sending generals as commanders before.
The Han Dynasty's posture in the past two years has really scared these small countries. Compared with the Han Dynasty, except for the time when the prairie was red during the reign of Emperor Wu, the other countries in the Western Regions really didn't think the Han Dynasty was so terrifying.
Unfortunately, hundreds of years have passed since Emperor Wu, and the countries in the Western Regions have long forgotten about it. However, in recent years, they once again felt what Han is the sect of the world, holding the handle of killing, and controlling the life of the country. They say they will cut you, and they are so willful.
Of course, I have been dancing happily in the past two years, such as Kangju, Dayuan, and Wusun, and others, dare not dance.
A few years ago, there were some bandits who didn’t know whether they were really not eye-catching or fake eye-catching robbers of the money of the merchants traveling west.
However, since Li Jue destroyed a small country that did this, and then cut all the Dayuan Imperial Guards disguised as robbers in front of the King of Dayuan as robbers, this situation has never happened in the entire Western Regions.
It is said that the security in the Western Regions has been very good in the past two years. In the past, there were robbers, bandits, and road bullies everywhere, but now they are basically dead.
The newly appointed Wu Ji Captain is a petty scruple and doesn't care about the problem of the robber's road dominance. As long as something happens to one of his own people, I will directly look for the problem of this country and give an explanation, or I will use all the upper corpses of your country as an explanation, choose one of them.
I'd better choose a ghost. Of course, I'd kill all the robbers and road bullies in China. How could the lives of the nobles below be as valuable as those of them? Whoever dares to attack the Han merchants will be difficult for all the nobles in my country XX to kill them.
Violence cannot solve any problem, but violence can solve any person who creates problems. Li Jue can even curse violently. What else can't be violent in the Western Regions?
Relying on this crazy method, the 36 countries in the Western Regions have been as obedient as grandsons in recent years. Li Jue expressed satisfaction with this and accepted the gifts from the 36 countries without hesitation.
I am here to be a heroic person and I can't stand it. You go to the Central Committee to sue me, see if they stand on your 36 countries in the Western Regions, or our Xiliang trio.
Although the old man was driven out, the old man is the emperor in this place. Who is that? Your country is good, I will stay for two days!
If Li Jue's method was in the Central Plains, it would have been overthrown. Unfortunately, this was in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms. In addition, he had not taken the Han Dynasty to heart for a few years. In the past two years, a big boss came from the Han Dynasty and led a large army. The way he worked was to roll them round and flatten them, so he really didn't dare to move.
It is estimated that by now, many countries among the 36 countries in the Western Regions have already been waiting for death, but the Han Dynasty has not been able to deal with the unlucky children recently.
After all, for a long time, Chen Xi still needed the 36 countries in the Western Regions to help build roads. Roads are still very important. Only by building from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, the construction is still very far from completion. What's more, the 36 countries occupy a place that can really live in people.
At that time, once the road is opened, those places can be treated as local management. After all, the distance from Chang'an is not a problem with the road, and the distance from Qingzhou is not much different.
So after a roundabout way, the problem became how to build a road.
After all, the roadbed is really a problem. Until now, the Han Dynasty has been working hard to build roads westward, thinking about building up the Pamir Mountains in one breath, and then extending it to Midiya and other things. However, even the Western Regions are half the difference...
"It's not reliable. It's a bit unreliable to hand over the cement formula to the merchants and then let the merchants burn it in the 36 countries of the Western Regions. They hire the people of the 36 countries to build the roads between the 36 countries." Zhang Zhao stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Chen Xi and said.
"If you don't do this, you really can't be able to repair it. And if you don't connect the thirty-six countries in advance, you will take over the thirty-six countries and we will not be able to occupy those places that are not on the road." Chen Xi said helplessly.
Chen Xi actually knew that if he did this, he would sooner or later analyze the cement prescription by other countries. However, if he didn't do this, he would have to abandon it if he occupied the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. To truly turn those countries into counties, at least the main roads for passage are necessary.
"With that being said, it's a loss to just flow out the cement-made prescription." Zhang Zhao said helplessly, "This prescription is of great significance to national construction. Once it is spread, we will lose a trump card."
It was not that ancient China did not pay attention to the confidentiality of technology. On the contrary, some things that could truly bring benefits would basically be kept tightly in the ancient China.
For example, silk, porcelain, both of which had stolen technology in Europe, but it took thousands of years from front to back to obtain related technology.
Cement was just a little over at the beginning. After the main roads of the Central Plains were built, all visionary wise men tended to block this technology, because the value of this thing was reflected with the well-connected transportation network.
This is a technology that can truly change the overall social situation and connect all parts of the country, which is of great significance to the entire country. However, now Chen Xi is going to go to the Western Regions to do it. What is the difference between this and the open technology? It can still be blocked tightly in the Central Plains, so it may not be possible for the Western Regions.
"The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are not worth the price." Zhang Hong also spoke immediately.
