Chapter 95 Madam, please come here (please subscribe!)
When he learned that the price he had to pay was to have the greatest goodwill toward the officials stationed by the Shu Han regime after taking office, Mi Guai agreed without hesitation.
This requirement... is almost equal to no requirement at all.
If it were in reality, Ma Su's request would definitely be more than that.
But because it is in the dungeon, as long as Ling Qiang shows his respect to the Shu Han regime, he will pass the level.
Therefore, Ma Su's request is extremely simple.
In fact, he had tried his best to dominate the Xiqiang in the shortest possible time.
Before, after the Dong Qiang surrendered, officials verified that there were about 100,000 tribesmen in the entire Dong Qiang tribe. There were about forty or fifty tribes of the size of the Dong Qiang, all distributed in the vast northwest region.
There are even more small tribes among them, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of people.
It's just that because the various tribes are extremely scattered, they have not formed a unified political power, and they have no ambitions and actions to expand outward, so they are not well known to the world.
In fact, during the Anshi Rebellion five hundred years later, the Tubo people (descendants of the Qiang people) had a population of tens of millions and even controlled the Ganges River Basin in the southern Himalayas. It should be known that the number of Qiang people at this time was about five million.
This quantity is not a small amount.
The Western Qiang people originated from the ancient Qiang people, which in ancient times meant "people who make a living by herding sheep." Broadly speaking, they refer to the people who lived in northwest Sichuan, Longnan, Qinghai and Tibet over an area of more than 4 million square kilometers in this era, and whose livelihood was shepherding.
All ethnic groups living in the world.
This scale is not too big.
The Western Qiang people were already spread throughout Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Qinghai, the Western Regions and Western Sichuan during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Many small pre-Qin countries such as Yiqu State were founded by branches of the Qiang people. Later, the Dangxiang people who were distributed in the Hexi Corridor were also a branch of the Qiang people.
.
The current sparse population in Longyou is due to the fact that during the reign of Emperor Ling Liu Hong, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Song Jian and others led the Qiang people to rebel and separatize Guanzhong, Longyou and Xiliang, and they were in conflict with the Han Empire and the Cao Wei regime.
More than thirty years of wars and conquests have caused a large number of Guanzhong aborigines to move south, and the remaining population has also been sharply reduced due to the war.
Especially after Cao Cao captured Guanzhong and Longyou, he found that the people under his control were sparsely populated and the fertile land was covered with weeds and bones. In order to restore the vitality of Guanzhong in a short period of time, he ordered the Di and Qiang people in the Longyou mountainous area to be moved inward.
As a result, tens of thousands of Qiang and tens of thousands of Di people were moved into Guanzhong in batches and settled in the areas around Chang'an to restore the prosperity of Guanzhong.
As a result, the Longyou area was sparsely populated, leaving only a strategic position.
During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, there was only one reason why Cao Wei had almost no defenses in the Longyou area. There were almost no Han people here.
However, from Longyou to the west, there are still countless Qiang tribes, and they are slowly migrating eastward, occupying the large vacated Longyou area.
Therefore, when the Wei State cannot be defeated, it is imperative to expand the Shu Han's strength by conquering the Western Qiang.
…
Xianling Qiang, the central tribe.
Qiang King Mi Dang stood high on the wooden platform, looked around at the tens of thousands of tribesmen gathered here, and asked loudly:
"My brave and capable tribesmen, who can tell me what is the purpose of your martial arts practice?"
A rough voice immediately came from the crowd: "Return to your Majesty, in order to keep fit."
Followed by a more crude voice: "Return to the king, for wealth and fame."
Mi Cai wore a hat and covered her face, hiding in the crowd, pinching her nose and shouting: "For the throne, for survival!"
Egu'er wore a hat and covered his face, leaning his head and saying: "In order to possess more women!"
Seeing the enthusiastic responses from the clansmen, Mi Dang was filled with joy. He looked around and suddenly found a clansman with an unusual appearance and temperament. He had been standing there quietly, with his arms folded and his chin slightly raised in the sky, without rushing to speak.
Although this man stood among the crowd, he seemed out of place.
His melancholy eyes, sad stubble, and javelin-like posture when he stood upright were as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night.
Mi Dang noticed him at a glance and immediately gestured for everyone to calm down. Then he pointed at the person who was posing and asked, "Tell me, why do you practice martial arts?"
Ma Su walked out of the crowd, came to the front of the crowd, and answered clearly and firmly:
"For the tribe!"
"Practice martial arts for the rise of the tribe!"
Hearing this, Mi Dang was immediately excited! He never thought that an ordinary tribesman from a rural village would have such great ambitions and ambitions!
Mi Dang opened his eyes wide and asked again: "Tell me again, why do you practice martial arts?"
"Practice martial arts for the rise of the tribe!"
Ma Su's sonorous and powerful words echoed in the venue, deafening and making everyone look at him sideways.
Mi Dang clapped his hands and cheered: "Wow! For the rise of the tribe, for the rise of the tribe... With warriors like you, why don't I worry about the Qiang?"
"Someone, bring some wine!"
"I would like to toast this warrior!"
After a while, when the wine arrived, Mi Dang held the cup in his hand and praised: "Warrior, please drink this cup to the full!"
"Mahenara Su thanked your Majesty!" Ma Su took the wine glass with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, and finally smacked his lips and said: "Your Majesty, this wine is not very hot..."
"..." Mi Dang couldn't help but look at Ma Su. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that the latter was a capable person. He was immediately happy to see Ma Su, holding Ma Su's arm and said with a smile:
"I have never seen such a far-sighted and talented person like you before. I wonder if a warrior would be willing to be a guest in my home?"
"I couldn't ask for it, I'm honored to do so!" Ma Su straightened his spine and replied.
"Hahaha..." Mi Dang looked up to the sky and smiled, suddenly feeling that the problem that had troubled him for a long time was about to be solved.
There is no young Qiang king who does not want to achieve great success, and there is no young Qiang king who does not want to own a larger territory and more women.
Even if he has never been to these places, even if he has never touched these women.
But he definitely wants to have it.
However, it is one thing to think about it, but another thing is whether it can be done.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless Qiang kings whose hearts were as high as the sky. In the end, most of them were lost among the kings and lived a mediocre life.
Mi Dang did not want to become such a Qiang king.
He is an ambitious and ambitious king.
Due to the lack of capable generals and far-sighted commanders under their command, Xianling Qiang has been expanding slowly over the past few years, and the population of the tribe is now less than 150,000.
Even if he wants to speed up the pace of annexing surrounding small tribes, he can't do it quickly. There are three large tribes around Xianling Qiang, including Shaodang Qiang, Shenlang Qiang, and Dong Qiang. Neither Erhe nor Fatong are good enemies.
They would always come to trouble him from time to time, holding him back, stumbling over him, and making him tired of dealing with it.
Well now, he finally found a top talent.
God bless Xianling Qiang!
For a moment, the joy of finding a soulmate made Mi Dang unable to help but want to laugh wildly.
Ma Su followed Madang to a large and impressive house and sat down in order.
Mi Cai and E Gu Er, who were wrapped up tightly, were arranged to wait.
Mi Dang looked at Ma Su with a particularly kind attitude: "Mahenala Su, please tell me, how can we quickly rise (annex surrounding tribes) if we eliminate the Qiang tribe first?"
"If you agree, I will make you the chief leader and take charge of all foreign affairs of the tribe."
That is to say, he made me the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Ma Su nodded: "Your Majesty, this is too easy. Make friends at a distance and attack at close range, intimidate and induce, create friction, and be famous..."
Mi Dang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Go on!"
…
Just as Mi Dang and Ma Su were having a long conversation in the room, three people came outside, three women to be precise.
The first woman is voluptuous, dressed in gold and silver, and looks very noble. Her beautiful face is glowing with a soft glow, making her look white, tender and dewy. Time seems to be particularly kind to her, and has not left any trace on her face or body.
How many traces.
The noble lady is none other than the lost princess Axiu.
Axiuxing walked to the door, looked at the closed door, frowned, and asked with a cold face: "Is the king in there?"
The two guards on the left and right quickly bowed and replied: "Back to Madam, Your Majesty has an order. No one is allowed to disturb the guests during the reception, including...including..."
"Including ma'am."
Hearing this, Axiu was a little angry.
She hasn't seen Mi Dang for almost a month.
If she fell out of favor because of old age and sexual decline, she would not be angry. But in fact, the little vixens that Mi Dang has fallen in love with recently all have average looks, and their eyes are not serious, and they have a hint of evil (
Fascinating) meaning.
So, she came to show off her cards today.
Without her support, how could Midang become the Qiang King?
In the past, Mi Dang called him Xiao Tiantian.
Now, he owes every inch of his body.
How can this not make people angry?
Looking at the princess who was on the verge of going berserk, the hands of the two guards were shaking a little.
No one can stop the princess, not even them.
When they thought about the consequences of not being able to stop the princess, the two of them felt numb.
"Madam, the king is currently receiving guests, why don't I accompany you for a walk?"
Just when Axiu was about to burst into raging rage, a gentle and magnetic male voice sounded in her ears.
