The neighborhoods in Chang'an City were covered with flowers, and the northern and southern armies lined up on both sides to welcome Nanlu Xin, the leader of the Hao people who had surrendered.
At three quarters of noon, Nan Lu Xin's carriage entered Chang'an City under the guidance of Sun Kunxie, the vassal state's public servant.
"Father, is this Chang'an?" Nan Lu Xin's two sons used curious eyes to look at this city that they had only heard of in legends in the past.
And Chang'an is indeed as beautiful, clean and tidy as the legend said, and there is not even a trace of garbage on the streets.
Both sides of the road are filled with flowers.
Butterflies are flying, bees are chasing, the majestic Weihe River is flowing, blue waves are rippling, and fish are coming and going, it is really like a fairyland.
In comparison, Wangxian City, the largest city they had ever seen in the past, was as crude as a rural market.
Hearing this, Nanlu Xin nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is Chang'an!"
He was also extremely excited, just like a pilgrim who saw the god in his mind.
The Yi people were originally a fishing and hunting tribe that was different from the farming and nomadic peoples.
They hunted in the mountains and forests, grazed on the grasslands, and fished in the rivers.
Therefore, since being expelled to the primitive jungles of the Northeast, the Yi people have continued to exist in the form of primitive slavery until today.
Before Nanlu Xin, the leaders of the Yi people basically had no idea about the Central Plains.
The farthest place they have been is Wangxian City in North Korea, and the only world they know is the Korean Peninsula and the world of ice and snow next to it.
However, in the generation of Nanlu Xin, the power of the Han Dynasty began to recover, and more and more business trips started from the north and west of Liaodong County to trade in the territories controlled by the Hao people.
With the increase in business travel, cultural exchanges have become more frequent.
In this era, Han civilization is like the sun that illuminates the world, attracting all those who desire self-improvement.
Nanlu Xin is naturally no exception.
Ten years ago, there were already ruined scholars from the Han Dynasty in Nanlu Xin's big tent, teaching him literacy and arithmetic.
Slowly hearing and seeing, it became so subtle that even Nan Luxin himself didn't understand what was going on.
Anyway, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has slowly turned into an utopia and a paradise in his heart. He gradually understood that as long as it belongs to the Han Dynasty, it must be good, and as long as it is the culture of the Han people, it must be good.
It must be a mentality that is n times more advanced than Yiren’s own culture and North Korea’s culture.
Sometimes he even had the urge to take the entire clan with him and defect to the happy and healthy Han Dynasty.
It was just reality that made him resist these impulses.
The reason is very simple. According to the policy of the Han Dynasty, all foreign tribes that surrender, no matter who they are or how many people they bring to defect, will be dispersed and resettled, or at least their leaders will be transferred.
But his majestic Lord Hao, the co-leader of the Hao people, the supreme being in the tribe who could live, kill, and take possession of anything. Why did he want to be a humble subject in the Han Dynasty?
Compared with his own clan where he could be unscrupulous and lawless. He could kill people at will and decide the fate of others. Submitting to the Han Dynasty became a question that he would only think about in his free time.
Moreover, in order to ensure his own status, Nanlu Xin even strictly prohibited the Han people from interacting and trading with civilians and slaves of the Yi people. All matters involving the Han people must and could only be handled by him.
The Han people's letters and literati were the focus of control.
Especially the works of Mencius, a Han Chinese, Nanlu Xin does not allow anyone among the Huo people to read them.
Of course, his brothers and heirs are not among them.
This situation would have continued, and perhaps it would have changed after Nan Lu Xin's son came to the throne.
But the world is changing too fast.
The Wei family in Wangxian City wanted to die, but they wanted to provoke the Han Dynasty!
Nanlu Xin learned about the power of the Han Dynasty from the scholars who taught him how to read.
This vast country covers an area of thousands of miles and has more than 7 million household registrations, with a million in armor!
The Han people's favorite saying is: when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down, and the blood will float in the oars.
The number of casualties was in the millions and millions at every turn, which really scared Nan Luxin to the point of peeing.
His Yiren tribe, including slaves and the old, weak, sick and disabled, totaled only 250,000 people, which was not enough for the Han emperor to fill his teeth.
What’s even more frightening is that this is irrefutable evidence that has been proven by facts!
In the internal war between the Han people last year, Wu and Chu mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The number of troops invested by both sides alone, on paper, already exceeds one million!
The envoy of King Wu Liu Bi also passed by Haoren's territory. According to the envoy Liu Bi, the King of Wu sent 800,000 troops, the King of Chu 300,000, and the King of Zhao 200,000.
After hearing this, Nanlu Xin opened his mouth wide and was stunned.
It was really hard for him to understand the concept of an army of millions.
But then, he completely fell for the Han Dynasty.
The so-called millions of armies of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Zhao were wiped out in just three months.
The main force of the Han army suffered almost no major losses...
Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!
No wonder the Han people always say: As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will become fans!
It’s really a piece of cake!
In comparison, Nan Luxin felt that Yiren was probably no better than an ant in front of the Han people - you know, even if he used all his strength, he could only mobilize 20,000 people at most.
After this calculation, the Wei family has become a broken ship that may sink at any time.
In particular, the only Huns in the world who could save the Wei family married and reconciled with the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
In this way, Nan Luxin immediately knew what to do!
Now that the Wei family's ship is about to sink, Nanlu Xin is not willing to sink to the bottom of the sea with this broken ship.
It happened that at that time, Jia Sheng, the nephew of Peng Wu, the commander of the northern part of Liaodong County, came to Yaoren to trade territory. He immediately met him and proposed the enclosed idea.
Peng Wu was stunned by the pie falling from the sky, and immediately stepped up contact. On both sides, one wanted to escape from the Wei family's trap immediately, and the other wanted to get this huge political achievement into his arms as soon as possible. The two sides hit it off immediately.
, and an agreement was quickly reached.
Originally, Nanlu Xin surrendered to the Han Dynasty, which was somewhat unpleasant.
After all, after surrendering to the Han Dynasty, although one could enjoy the splendor and wealth of the Han Dynasty nobles and live in a spacious mansion that was like a fairyland, from then on, one might lose the freedom to control the destiny of others and get what he wanted.
Although his Han teachers all advised him: a Chinese official is better than a Yi Di king.
But, after all, I have never really been in China, so I don’t know whether it is true or false.
In comparison, the life of a chief who kills people and eats whatever he wants is obviously more attractive.
Therefore, after surrendering, Nanlu Xin was actually quite conflicted, so he also left behind some secret hands. If the Han emperor tricked him, he would incite the tribe's slaves and herdsmen to run away.
This entangled feeling did not last long, and Nanlu Xin received an edict from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
It not only commended him for his "profound understanding of righteousness" and rewarded him generously, but more importantly, it confirmed that he could continue to hold the power of the Yiren tribe.
Although his status changed from the almost completely independent Lord Hao to the Lord Canghai who was controlled by the Han Dynasty, he had to accept the jurisdiction of the Liaodong County Sheriff and the Han Dynasty Prime Minister's Mansion.
But the edict made it clear.
All affairs of the Hao people, large or small, without the decree of Liaodong County, the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Emperor's edict, are all decided by Cang Haijun.
Moreover, this Lord Canghai is hereditary and will rest with his country forever!
For slave owners, everything that is hereditary is good!
Especially power and status!
Not to mention, this power and status were endorsed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!
Nanlu Xin naturally knows what this means?
This means that the privileged status of his descendants is guaranteed!
As long as the Han Dynasty does not fall, his family's position in Haoren will be unshakable.
Nanlu Xin immediately felt ashamed of the hidden tricks he had left behind.
"The emperor treats me so well, but I... really deserve to die!" Nanlu thought with confidence: "I must be loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future, and my Nanlu family will be the lackey of the emperor of the Han Dynasty for generations to come!
"
This is Nanlu Xin’s true thoughts from the bottom of his heart.
Any slave chief in the world would probably think the same way if he were in Nanlu Xin's position.
Because, for a slave owner, there is nothing wrong with being a dog as long as it can protect his status and power!
Anyway, even if they die, they will still be lowly slaves and herdsmen.
Using the flesh and blood of slaves in exchange for one's own wealth and status is such a bargain! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
