The war in Shandong is raging, but Guanzhong seems peaceful and peaceful.
After Sichuan and Shu came under the rule of Fei Qian, all kinds of silk products that began to flow out from central Sichuan immediately became an upstart in the Guanzhong trade project. Ordinary people in Sichuan and Shu could not afford to wear silk, but compared to the gentry in central Sichuan, silk products
It is also the place of origin, so it is not very popular. However, the silk that has been transported outside Sichuan and Sichuan has doubled in price because it is rare and expensive.
Silk cannot stop arrows, at least one or two layers of silk have no effect, but silk has some advantages that fur does not have. One is that it can prevent insects, and the other is that it is light enough. For nomads, what he wears
Any weight will be added to the horse's body, and silk is undoubtedly much lighter than ordinary linen or leather.
On the other hand, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the grassland, especially in summer when the temperature rises. However, in the desert, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very big. Wearing leather robes in the morning and evening will not be able to wear them at noon. Being shirtless will naturally attract mosquitoes.
, if you wear a lightweight silk, it will naturally be more comfortable.
Therefore, it is not surprising that silk products are loved by nomads. At the same time, because the bleaching and dyeing technology in Sichuan and Sichuan is relatively mature, silk products have more colors and more gorgeous patterns than ordinary Gebu clothing, and naturally appear more beautiful.
It became expensive and became the favorite clothing of the Baishi Qiang chieftains.
Middlemen have always made money from the price difference. Nowadays, from Baishiqiang to Linagu, down to ordinary small-headed people, almost all of them are making a lot of money...
Especially Lina Gu's extremely fat belly, which is even bigger than a ten-month pregnancy.
When Fei Qian saw Lina Gu, he couldn't help but laugh.
so happy.
At any time, it is better to find that your opponent is like a pig than that your teammate is like a pig. Thinking of this, Fei Qian couldn't help but glance at Pang Tong again.
Pang Tong:(╯￣Д￣)╯╘═╛
Linagu bent down with difficulty and bowed deeply to Fei Qian, with a smile on his chubby face: "I have great respect for the incomparable and invincible hussar general! Congratulations on your promotion again! I brought something to the general this time.
I hope the general will accept some congratulatory gifts..."
"Long time no see, old friend!" Fei Qian waved his hand with a smile, "It would be great if you could come, why bother bringing any gifts..." Of course, that's what he said, and the gifts still have to be accepted.
Fei Qian smiled and asked people to accept the gifts first, and then asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain Lina Gu.
"I heard..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "Old friend Baishi, you don't seem to be very peaceful over there..."
The business of the Baishi Qiang is getting bigger and bigger, not only to the western Qiang, but also to the south, stretching to northern Tibet. It has also begun to establish trade relations with various Qiang tribes nomadic in Sichuan and Tibet. However, with the trade
As the situation deepened and expanded, Baishi Qiang was also targeted by some Qiang people in Sichuan and Tibet.
Because most of the tribesmen of Baishi Qiang began to transform into wandering businessmen, the original fierce combat effectiveness gradually declined and became a caravan behavior that prioritized survival. Therefore, after being robbed several times,
The Baishi Qiang people were unable to retaliate against the Qiang people in this part of southern Tibet, and they were unwilling to lose a lot of property in vain, so they found Feiqian here.
Lina Gu smiled slightly awkwardly, his eyes rolled around, and he put on a look of indignation, "This...those damn hairy monkeys! They dare to rob the general's belongings! Damn it, damn it!"
Fei Qian smiled hoarsely: "Let's make it clear first, they are robbing you... not me..."
"This...general, this..." Rinagu was still waiting for some cuteness, "but the things these hairy monkeys robbed came from the general..."
"But these items have been sold to you...haven't they? So they should be yours, not mine..." Fei Qian said with a smile, and simple confusion methods like Lina Gu's would not work at all.
"That's not the case, General!" Lina Gu said, then he stretched out two fat hands that looked like pig's trotters, spread them out and said, "General, you see, I don't make money, we are the general's transporters.
Worker..." Then he raised his left hand and said, "There are furs and cattle and sheep that the general wants over there. Let's help the general deliver them..." Then Linagu raised his right hand again, "Who wants it here?
We help them move the utensils and other things... We are really just porters. We don't make any money, we just collect some hard-earned money and transportation fees... It's very hard..."
Linagu shook his unconvincing fat and clapped his hands, "General, you see, normally, things come out of you and are then handed over to those in the west, and then the things of those in the west are handed over to
In the hands of the general, this is considered a complete transaction, right? And now...these damn hairy monkeys have taken away the general's things and refused to give the promised cattle, sheep and furs! Doesn't this break the rules?
?Isn’t this ruining the general’s deal? Isn’t this robbing the general of something?”
Fei Qian laughed.
In the past, Fei Qian used to secretly change his concepts to fool others, but suddenly he met a Baishi Qiang man who secretly changed his concepts to fool him. Fei Qian found it quite interesting for a while.
Where did you learn this from?
After talking about it this way, it seems that this fallacy can still be established...
"Let's not talk about this problem for now..." Fei Qian chuckled and said, "Tell me about those people who robbed things. Why did I hear that they are also Qiang people like you? What, did you have any grudges before?"
Lina Gu said with a bitter face: "How can there be any enmity between us... This, this, haha, it's these hairy monkeys who... had a bad relationship with you before, well..."
"Could he be a descendant of Shaodangmi Tang?" Pang Tong said suddenly as he listened.
Lina Gu nodded and said: "Yes, he is the descendant of Shaodang..."
"Shaodang Qiang?" Fei Qian frowned and said, "Hasn't it already declined a long time ago?" Shaodang Qiang was originally a relatively powerful Qiang tribe in Longxi. It rose to prominence at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and immediately fought back and forth with the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For decades, each had its own victories and defeats, but in the end it was still unable to consume the big man. After several major defeats, it could not recover and gradually declined.
Mi Tang was the leader of Shaodang Qiang and the son of Qiang King Mi Wu. After Mi Wu was killed by Zhang Yu, the captain of the Qiang Guard in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mi Tang became the leader, but from that time on, there was no Qiang King.
After this name, Empress Mi Tang led the Qiang people to resist the Eastern Han Dynasty many times. Later, she died of illness, and her tribe withdrew from the sight of the Han Dynasty.
After the Shaodang Qiang, they became the Xianling Qiang. The Xianling Qiang rebellion continued until the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. People such as Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, etc. all became famous because of the Xianling Qiang rebellion.
Lina Gu took a look at Fei Qian's face and said: "Shaodang is no longer called Shaodang, it's called Tang Yan... also called Cong Cho... and then he was with Pi Ren..."
Refute Qiang?
In fact, the pronunciation of the word "Qiang" is not "qiang" in Chinese characters, but should be pronounced as "ljong", which seems to be somewhat similar to the pronunciation of the big and small Yueshi. And the syllables of Qiang and Baishi Qiangli Nagu,
It should be "bodljong", the more similar one is refute Qiang.
"You mean..." Fei Qian said, "It was this Piqiang who robbed your goods?"
Lina Gu smiled, "Well, well, these are the people who dared to embezzle the general's..."
"Let's not talk about the goods for now..." Fei Qian waved his hand, "Is this the case? To be honest, old friend, the distance over there is indeed too far..." Even in later generations, the population of the entire Tibetan area was very sparse.
Therefore, if it is just for dozens or hundreds of cattle and sheep, it is not worth going to war. After all, if a large army is dispatched, it will not be a matter of dozens or hundreds of cattle and sheep. It will consume even more, which is a type of loss that outweighs the gain.
"Huh?" Lina Gu said with some confusion, "Didn't I hear that the generals sent people to Da Qin and Shen Du? And the envoys of Da Qin and Shen Du came here? Isn't the distance between Da Qin and Shen Du even further?
And if you want to remove the poison from your body, you have to go through the Qiang territory, right?"
"Body poison?" Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, "Go get the album!"
This is somewhat interesting. It's not that Fei Qian is going to attack Shendu now and march into Tibet. It's just that a few days ago Fei Qian just declared with great righteousness that he would look further ahead, and now he heard that
Are you ignoring the news about being poisoned?
Furthermore, in Fei Qian's impression, he believed that the Himalayas in the Tibetan area were an insurmountable existence. However, after listening to Lina Gu's words, it seemed that since the Western Han Dynasty, Qiang people had already crossed the Himalayas in that area.
Region of India?
The map was quickly brought over. On the huge map, under the elongated Western Region Corridor, there was a largely blank area with only four words, "Tibetan Qiang" written there.
"Come on, old friend, tell me what you know..." Fei Qian pointed to the atlas and said to Lina Gu, "We are here now, this is Hanzhong, this is Longyou, and then your
Is the location of the tribe...probably here...and then to the south, what is there, please tell me..."
In the Han Dynasty, and even in the Tang Dynasty, the regional survey of Tibet was relatively weak. The entire Tibetan area was basically allowed to come and go by nomadic people, and there was no farming and settlement. As a result, neither this area nor the Chinese dynasty in the Central Plains had much
Good communication and exchange have even been deeply influenced by ancient India. Tibetan Buddhism has even continued to later generations. This cannot but be said to be a problem.
"This...is the Baima Qiang..." Lina Gu frowned, thinking, and carefully pointed towards the south from where his clan members gathered, and said.
"Wait... is there anyone else in Baima?" Pang Tong took out a pen from somewhere and asked casually, "Where is Qing Yi?"
Lina Gu said: "Well, there are still some white horses, not much left... Qing Yi, basically gone..."
"It's okay, go on..." Fei Qian said, pointing to the area near southern Tibet, "The key point is the situation in this area..."
"This is the Pied Qiang Kingdom..." Lina Gu said, "I don't know how big it is exactly... The northwest part of the Pied Qiang Kingdom is the Tang Yan Kingdom. The north of the Tang Yan Kingdom is basically a desert, and about a hundred meters further north.
In Duolidi, there is a large piece of water and grassland, which is the territory of the Subi Kingdom. Then to the west of the Subi Kingdom, there are three kingdoms mixed together, called the Bohe Kingdom, the Yangtong Kingdom, and the Xiangxiong Kingdom.
…”
"Haha, here, here..." Lina Gu pointed in the west of the Tibetan area and said, as if he remembered something interesting, with a strange smile on his face, "There is a tribe in this place,
They are all women...very interesting, very interesting..."
What does interesting mean?
"Hehe, hehe, there are all women here. As long as they can defeat the female warriors of their tribe, it's okay, hehe...hehehe..." Lina Gu smiled, stretched out his fat hands, and lifted his belly up.
Got hold of it.
Fei Qian looked at Lina Gu and felt a wretched aura rising from Lina Gu's body...
Oh, Fei Qian nodded and guessed a bit.
Could it be that there are still matriarchal tribes here?
In this way, is this the prototype of the daughter country that the fair and tender Elder Tang went to back then?
Fei Qian always thought that the daughter country was in the area of ancient India, but he did not expect that such a existence existed in Tibetan areas...
"The general's goods..." Linagu chuckled a few times, pointed down and said, "It was going well before the Qiang... But when it comes to the southernmost Qiang people... these poor ghosts, not only
He refused to give anything and even robbed the general's goods..."
"It's indeed a bit far..." Fei Qian frowned.
The Pi Qiang is almost at the southernmost end of the entire Tibetan area, that is, on the side close to the Himalayas. Of course, if there is contact with ancient India, it is naturally the Pi Qiang that has the greatest possibility.
"How do you know there are poisonous people here?" Fei Qian asked again.
Linagu said: "I have seen people coming from this direction before... they are black and thin. They say that as long as you believe in their so-and-so, you will have endless enjoyment after death. What do you want from me and how much do you want to give them?"
How much money..."
"Then what?" Fei Qian asked, "Where are the people?"
Lina Gu laughed awkwardly, "I drove them away..."
Fei Qian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Lina Gu looked at Fei Qian, rolled his eyes a few times, and then said: "General... we really can't let these hairy monkeys disobey the rules... General, what do you think, if these people all learn this?"
Just like a hairy monkey, if you just come up to grab things, will anyone be willing to do business in a polite manner in the future? We don’t have to do business, but we have to abide by the rules, right, General?"
Fei Qian glanced at Lina Gu, and this was on point. Robbery and theft were all about using force to obtain property. Once these guys got used to it, and the effect of broken windows, other people were attracted, and the follow-up
It's a big problem to manage.
But it is indeed too far...
Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong and saw that Pang Tong indicated that he had memorized everything Lina Gu said, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Old friend, this matter needs to be dealt with, but there is no rush.
Today, isn't it... Let's drink first today, and by the way, there's also something good, old friend, you must have never seen it before?"
When Linagu heard the word "good stuff", the fat on his cheeks trembled habitually, "Okay, good stuff? That...is expensive?"
"As the saying goes, good goods are not cheap, but cheap goods are not good..." Fei Qian laughed and led Lina Gu to the courtyard where the banquet was held, "Come here, let's take a look... Look
