Jia Xu has been a little annoyed these past two days.
For Jia Xu, whose biggest dream is to eat and die and wait for death, well, let’s add a prerequisite, to eat and die and wait for death. Nothing bothers Jia Xu more than when he received an order from his boss to work overtime during his break.
Doing something in the Western Region?
What kind of bad order is this?
Is there any need to go out of your way to do anything in this poor place like the Western Region?
It’s something every day!
Jia Xu sighed and returned to the political hall in Youfufeng. He either approved and issued the document in hand, or had it transferred to Chang'an for Fei Qian to make a decision. He finished it in a few strokes, then put down his pen and took a paper.
He unrolled the scroll, then frowned and lowered his head, seeming to be reading the scroll seriously, but in fact, Jia Xu was in a daze...
When Jia Xu's subordinates saw this, they tiptoed carefully and walked by as silently as possible, for fear of affecting Jia Xu's thoughts.
If the entire Han Dynasty is compared to a large national company, then Fei Qian is the regional president, and Jia Xu is the general manager of the regional branch, although ordinary people may not have much feeling about the general manager of a branch.
, but for small officials working within the company, not to mention branches, the general manager of a branch company is already the pinnacle of their career, so naturally they will not easily leave a bad impression in front of Jia Xu.
.
To be honest, Jia Xu had no choice but to defect to Fei Qian back then, but after all these years, he found that Fei Qian was very comfortable, and his late-stage laziness set in, and he immediately didn’t want to change jobs.
.
When he joined Dong Zhuo, it was just because of Li Ru. As for the trouble in Guanzhong, it was also because he felt that Li Ru had suffered injustice and was angry with Li Ru. As for his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Jia Xu did not have it, but it was not much.
, probably belongs to the type where the upper level is less than the lower level and more than the lower level is.
Therefore, on the whole, Jia Xu generally felt that under the leadership of Fei Qian, the regional president, it was pretty good. Therefore, after receiving Fei Qian's order, although he was somewhat unhappy about having the plan disrupted, he still behaved obediently.
I interrupted my vacation and returned to the political hall.
The Western Region is very chaotic.
The chaos was so great that even after three to four hundred years, the Han Dynasty still had not fully figured out how many countries there were in the Western Regions.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the third year of Jianyuan, Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions and reported back that there were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, such as Qiuci, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Mi, and Qu.
Le, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Yarkand, etc...
But in fact, when describing numbers in ancient times, imaginary numbers were mostly used. Therefore, in fact, there were not only thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but more than double them. This is just because some of these Western Regions countries are too small.
It is small, and it is something that is still around today but may disappear tomorrow. Therefore, overall, only a few relatively famous country names remain.
Perhaps for other people, it would be quite difficult when facing the numerous countries in the Western Regions, and they would not know how to intervene, or even have no clue at all, but for Jia Xu, this matter is actually not too difficult.
The Western Regions cannot be developed country by country according to ordinary people's concepts...
Because all these countries have is just one city! Or it’s almost enough to think of the Western Region as the Warring States Period of Japan. Those who occupy one city can be called a daimyo, and those who occupy several cities can be called a powerful country. Therefore, it is necessary to
It would be extremely troublesome to do it country by country.
Therefore, Jia Xu decided to put aside these complicated and confusing countries in the Western Regions and start from another angle. For the Western Regions, countries may rise and fall, but when it comes to race, it is relatively simple.
.
The first is naturally the Yuezhi, the Greater Yuezhi and the Little Yuezhi. The Yuezhi people were more active in the Hexi Corridor of the Western Regions during the Warring States Period. They were also more powerful during the Qin Dynasty, and they even despised the more barbaric and low-end Huns. After all,
At that time, the famous Xiongnu Chanyu, Maodun, was once held hostage by the Xiongnu among the Yueshi.
The Yueshi also attacked the Wusun, and killed their king. They occupied the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains. The overall power was once strong, but it did not last long. Then the Wusun killed the Yueshi, and then the Xiongnu took the opportunity to attack the Yueshi again, and
After killing the Yuezhi King, the Yuezhi people had to migrate away. By the time of the Daxia generation, they gradually controlled the land of Daxia and became relatively stable.
After the Yuezhi, naturally comes the Wusun.
Wusun was originally just a small country huddled next to the Yueshi. After King Wusun was killed by the Yueshi, his son was still in infancy and was adopted by the Xiongnu Chanyu. When Prince Wusun grew up, a scene took place.
In the revenge story, with the support of the Xiongnu, he led Wusun to move westward to pursue the Dayue clan to avenge the murder of his father. As a result, the Yuezhi were defeated and forced to move south. Wusun then occupied the Ili River Basin and replaced the original Yuezhi.
clan's status.
Then in the Western Regions, those who have loved and killed the Han people for many years are naturally the various Qiang people.
This part is not a big problem. Now that the hussar generals have strong troops and horses, these Qiang people who are closer to Longyou are obedient, pretending to be good babies, and turning out their bellies to show goodwill. As for those who are relatively friendly
Those who are remote may feel that they are far away from the emperor and cannot be controlled by the Han people, so they are still somewhat arrogant...
Of course, there are still some Huns remaining in the Western Regions, but these Huns have now generally either joined other tribesmen, or have abandoned the name of the Huns, and belong to the empire. The glory is no longer, the sunset
The end of the road type.
However, for Jia Xu, since he wants to do something, he naturally has to pick someone with a big problem to do it...
It’s like a child throwing firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. What’s the point of throwing them on the ground? How much attention can it attract?
Jia Xu suddenly thought of something, so he picked up the pen, pulled a piece of paper from the side, and wrote a large piece of eloquent ink with a vigorous stroke of the pen. Then he lifted it up and gently blew the ink dry.
Then he took a special bamboo tube, packed it, filled it with wax to seal it, and used a seal to cover the wax while it was hot...
"Come here! Send this horse quickly to the Hussars General!"
After Jia Xu finished giving instructions, he shook off his sleeves and stood up, preparing to go home first to make up for the unfinished vacation. After all, if he really wanted to implement it, he would have to go to the Western Regions...
But this is not bad. At least you can travel at official expense and meet Li Ru. Do you know that there is no difference between the beef and mutton in the Western Region and Longyou?
Jia Xu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a smile appeared on his face...
...Here is the dividing line for struggling to code...
"Yunrong?" Fei Qian saw Jia Xu's report and had some doubts about Jia Xu's plan to use the Yunrong people as leverage to leverage the entire Western Region.
Is Yunrong a branch of Rong people?
Or an alien race?
Fei Qian turned to look at Pang Tong, waved and said: "Come on, Pang Shiyuan, who is known as a knowledgeable and powerful memorizer, does he know what a 'Yunrong' is?"
"What cloud and what dragon?" Pang Tong had been curious for a long time. After hearing this, he took Jia Xu's letter and looked it up and down. He generally understood what Jia Xu meant, "Yunrong? Wait... um
, I seem to have seen it somewhere... Let me think about it, think about it..."
Fei Qian waited quietly, watching Pang Tong raise his head upward, open his mouth slightly, and his eyes were dull, like a fat black bird waiting for food...
The fat black bird suddenly trembled, "Come here! Go and fetch Ban Dingyuan's "Inviting Soldiers to Conquer the Western Regions" on the third row of the C shelf in a certain study room and bring it!"
The attendant waiting outside the political hall had just received the order to leave, and Pang Tong shouted again: "Wait! Forget it, bring the "A Letter to Ask for Sui" and "A Letter to Comfort Wusun" together, and that one
Ma Jichang's "Ban Ding's Notes on the Far Western Regions" on the T-shaped shelf was also moved here!"
The attendant took the order again and hurried away.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a move, because although Fei Qian began to build a papermaking workshop because he obtained the bamboo resources in Sichuan and Sichuan, naturally all the previous books and documents have not been completely transformed into paper.
Most of the books are still made of bamboo slips. Such volumes are naturally heavy and cumbersome.
In fact, the Yanhuang tribe was also a minority at the beginning, separated from the Shaodian clan. The Huangdi lived in the Jishui basin, and the Yandi lived near Jiangshui, and Jiangshui was a branch of the Weishui. Later, the Huangdi Yandi tribe and the surrounding tribes
The tribes mixed and merged, and some ancient tribes that did not follow the Yan and Huang migrations eastward gradually formed the Di people, Qiang people, Rong people and Di people...
The records of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty are indeed sparse. Even in later dynasties, there are very few detailed descriptions of the Western Regions. On the one hand, these countries in the Western Regions are complicated and difficult to clean up. On the other hand, because no matter in the Spring and Autumn Period,
The Warring States, the Han Dynasty, and even the Tang and Ming Dynasties were all busy reunifying from division, and then falling into the vicious circle of division. The nobles of these aristocratic families in the Central Plains were also busy fighting for power and annexing the population in the Central Plains. Very few people would
Their eyes have been set on the more distant Western Regions, so among most Chinese dynasties, their understanding of the Western Regions is limited, or they even have an attitude of giving up completely.
Three attendants each came holding a lacquer plate and lined up in the hall.
Pang Tong stepped forward, opened the bamboo slips, and searched quickly. After a while, he held a roll of bamboo slips in one hand and said with a smile: "I found it! Haha, it's right here!"
What Pang Tong found was Ban Chao's "Shangyan Yiyi comforts Wusun" and Ma Rong's description of the relationship between Wusun, Yueshi and Yunrong in Ban Chao's article, "... Wusun Lei attached to Yueshi at that time, and later rebelled.
But if they occupy it, the Yueshi will be defeated and run westward, swallowing up Yunrong's land..."
Fei Qian looked back and forth several times and said, "So, Yun Rong is to the west of the Yueshi? Although it is a distant relationship and a close attack, what is this Yun Rong... exactly like?"
Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "Yunrong first started in Saidi, and was later divided into four tribes, Dawan and Daxia...the other two tribes are called Kangju and Yancai... Yancai is also called
Call Alan and chat..."
Fei Qian listened and thought, so Yun Rong should be regarded as an indigenous person who originally lived between Asia and Europe in the early days?
In fact, Yunrong was the name given to the Sai people by the Han Dynasty people.
Because nomadic peoples cannot live permanently like farming peoples and have relatively fixed output to ensure a relatively fixed life, most of their time has to be consumed in the process of nomadism. Therefore, in the early stage of science and technology and culture, people who climbed on tree branches
The speed is very slow.
The same is true for Yun Rong.
In the early days of central Eurasia, there was not much competition. On the contrary, in China, on the one hand, science and technology rose rapidly, and on the other hand, there were more wars and competitions. Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, or how to conduct wars,
On the Internet, a domino effect often occurs. A typical example is that the Han Dynasty drove away the Huns, and then the Huns ran all the way, crushing Asia and Europe, and crushing them all the way to the Mediterranean...
Just like when Wusun defeated Da Yuezhi, and then Da Yuezhi backhanded Daxia, and then Daxia was forced to move west and south, and then Daxia slapped the Bidaxia people again
A group of small countries in the more comfortable Kashmir region.
They influence each other during war and merge with each other under war.
The collision between barbarism and civilization has always been the most significant conflict in war.
"In this way, this Yunrong can indeed be used as a seesaw to stir up all the things that have settled down between the countries in the Western Region..." Fei Qian laughed and said softly.
He patted the table and said, "Wen He made a good choice..."
Whether it is to make friends with distant people or to attack with close friends, everyone seems to understand it when talking about it, but the specific choice cannot be solved with just four words, and Yunrong is undoubtedly with Dayue, Wusun, and even with the more distant Central Asia.
A board with connections to many countries is indeed a very appropriate choice.
"Although most of Yun Rong have moved away, but..." Pang Tong also nodded and said, "There are still many people left among the Yuezhi and Wusun... So if it works properly, these people... Haha
…”
Fei Qian nodded, "In this case, Wen He's plan is approved..."
Anyway, according to Jia Xu's plan, the investment is not actually very large, but it is still the same old thing, just differentiation and instigation, but things are often like this, the simpler things are, the more effective they are.
"By the way... Anyway, I am idle now..." Fei Qian said, "For the one in the west, we will generally follow Wenhe's policy first... For the one in the north, I think you can also think of something to do it.
Are these guys moving?"
Since the Han Dynasty has no way to settle down for the time being, how can they let the surrounding nomads squat quietly and watch the show?
You always have to find something for these guys to do, and you can’t let these energetic guys idle...
