Just when Xiliang Haoqiang felt that if Daqian opened up the Silk Road, it would not matter if this land was handed over!
Zhao Ang suddenly said: "Lei Gong wants to stabilize Xiliang, and it will be difficult to achieve it if he only summons powerful families like us. The Qiang people are the cause of the turmoil in Xiliang. It took the Han Dynasty hundreds of years to stabilize Xiliang, so that the Han Dynasty It is difficult for the forces of the Western Regions to enter the Western Regions, and now even the news from the Western Regions has been cut off. The Han forces have completely withdrawn from the Western Regions! Can Lei Gong be in power to pacify the Qiang people in Xiliang within a few years?"
Zhao Ang's words quickly cooled down everyone's excitement. They all knew about the situation in Xiliang, but they couldn't change it.
There are millions of Qiang people around Xiliang. The Silk Road is cut off. In addition to the decline of the strength of the Han Dynasty and the need to shrink its power, it is because there are too many Qiang bandits and the caravans are not enough for these Qiang people to rob. In this case The Silk Road naturally shrank slowly. If the Qiang people had not unified, Xiliang would have been ruled by the Qiang people now.
The Qiang people are dispersed and unable to attack. This means that even if they have the upper hand in population, they cannot capture Xiliang. Instead, they have to rely on the Han people. However, it has also become very difficult for the Han people to attack the Qiang. The entire Xiliang area is thousands of miles away. It is regarded as the territory of the Qiang people. Even if Lei Gong wiped out 100 Qiang tribes, it would be difficult to severely damage the Qiang people. The Qiang people did not even have a core. How could they pacify the Qiang people in a short time?
At that time, Xiliang Sanming annihilated hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, but it could only maintain a stable life for a few years, but it still could not change the overall situation of the Qiang people in Xiliang. Naturally, they did not believe that Lei Gong could solve the Qiang people's problem in a few years. !
But when Wang Guojun heard this, he sneered: "Are the Qiang people stronger or the Xianbei people?"
Zhao Ang said in confusion: "Of course they are Xianbei people. They were once the biggest enemies of the Han Dynasty!"
Wang Guojun continued: "Is the desert bigger or the Qiang people's territory bigger?"
Zhao Ang said: "It should be the desert. I heard that the desert is twice as vast as our Han people, but the Qiang people's territory is less than half of my Han people's territory!"
Wang Guojun loudly said: "It took me less than five years to pacify Xianbei. How many years do you think the Qiang people can resist?"
At this time, the Xiliang clan chief suddenly realized that Lei Gong was the hero who unified the grassland, but the grassland had no sense of existence in the Han Dynasty. They always forgot that Lei Gong was not only a prince of the Han Dynasty, but also the overlord of the grassland!
Wang Guojun sneered and said: "The reason why the Qiang people in Xiliang have repeatedly rebelled is because you and the Han government are creating conflicts and oppressing the Qiang people, forcing the Qiang people in Xiliang to have no way to survive.
Corrupt officials oppress them, you powerful people oppress them, and even tribal leaders oppress them. Of course they will rebel. If I were a Qiang person, I would rebel too!
As long as I treat the Qiang brothers fairly and behead those selfish leaders, I don’t believe they will let their good life go but to rebel!”
Da Qian started from Bingzhou and Youzhou. It can even be said that Hu people once accounted for half of Da Qian's people. The idea of equality brought by Xu Wei from later generations, plus most of the top leaders of Da Qian were civilians, so everyone was bullied. Naturally, people will not discriminate against Hu people, and there is a large proportion of Hu people among the senior officials of Dagan. Therefore, the senior officials of Dagan understand the causes of the unrest in the border areas better!
Most of the Hu people yearn to become Han people. They are unwilling to become Han people if they can become Han people, but maybe they have nowhere to seek refuge!
For their own benefit, the powerful officials and tribal leaders did not allow them to convert the Hu people into Han people! Even the Han people who escaped from the Han Dynasty were forced to become the Hu people. This resulted in the phenomenon that there were generally more Hu people than Han people in the border counties of the Han Dynasty.
The officials of the Han Dynasty, the powerful, and the leaders of the Hu people oppressed these herdsmen for their own interests. It can be said that these herdsmen are the most oppressed people in the world! This is the reason why they rebel frequently, because these
The herdsmen really can’t survive.
However, the Han Dynasty did not pay attention to this phenomenon from top to bottom. Corrupt officials and powerful people were unaware that they were taking the blame!
In this way, the officials of the Han Dynasty became more unscrupulous. Anyway, the Hu people had no human rights in the Han Dynasty. No matter how hard the officials oppressed them, they would not be condemned. However, if the Han people cut too many people, the reputation of butchers was indispensable, and it happened that in the Han Dynasty, they were the most powerful.
They value reputation. If you have such a bad reputation, it will be difficult to get promoted! So they turned the Han people into barbarians, brutally oppressed them, and killed those who dared to resist. This made it very convenient for them to get promoted and make a fortune.
Just like the famous Sun Shiwan in the Three Kingdoms, when he first took charge of Jiangdong, he commanded the army to pacify Shanyue. Half a century later, when he was about to die of old age, he was still fighting against Shanyue!
This Shanyue has become a copy of Soochow, and it can't be wiped clean no matter how hard it is. However, Soochow has several governor generals, and they all got promoted and made a fortune by encircling and suppressing Shanyue. Shanyue was indispensable from the founding of Soochow to its demise. I don't know.
Some people thought that there was a barbarian country as powerful as Xianbei on the border of Soochow!
But in fact, the so-called gathering place of Shanyue is in Danyang County, which is not far from Emperor Sun's other countries! It is surrounded by Han counties and counties. You can imagine where the Shanyue people came from?
It can be said that Shanyue is a proper noun for Soochow. I had never heard of Soochow before. It disappeared immediately after the fall of Soochow. The so-called Shanyue is nothing more than officials forcing the people.
What the local tyrants in Jiangdong can do, the tycoons in Northern Xinjiang can do the same. Although they cannot make up a nation, they can turn Han people into barbarians. Therefore, Xiliang and Bingzhou have less than one million Han people, but there are only a few barbarians in them.
But there are as many as millions, even more than the Han people, and there is an increasing trend.
Now that we have all become barbarians, don’t think about fair treatment. Not to mention all kinds of oppression and persecution, we also didn’t spend money to recruit everyone to serve as soldiers. If we win, it’s because they commanded it well. If we lose, it doesn’t matter, but some of us will die.
Hu people, there are such people everywhere, just recruit a few more.
At the most exaggerated time in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the officials of the Han Dynasty had already begun to ask the barbarians to bring their own dry food to help the Han Dynasty fight. There was no reward for winning, no relief for losing, and if you were a dog, you had to bring your own dog bones (isn't this very historical?
, the behavior of the country of hope is actually the same as that of the Han Dynasty 2000 years ago!), even the Huns couldn't bear it, and resisted in a rebellious way at every turn!
It can be said that Xu Wei and the others knew everything about what the powerful Han Dynasty was doing on the frontier!
The solution is also very simple. The Daqian army killed all the corrupt officials, killed the evil gentry and powerful people, treated the Hu people fairly, increased productivity, broke the feudal personal restrictions on them, and allowed the herdsmen to freely buy and sell their livestock. The desert is bigger than the Han people. With twice the area, how could it be difficult to raise several million herdsmen?
In Daqian, the income of herdsmen is generally higher than that of farmers. Who is willing to rebel when they can have enough to eat and drink?
