After the establishment of the Andong Protectorate, Bo Shi immediately did something surprising. He sent people to set up a number of roads called "An Dong" along the only roads bordering Huaihua County, Liaodong County and North Korea.
At the checkpoint of the East Protectorate Straight Road, there are tolls for entry and exit, as well as for carriages and horses.
Except for soldiers and officials, whether they want to enter or leave, each person will be charged two five baht. As for a carriage, donkey cart, or ox cart, it will be ten cents each.
Many people want to protest, but Bo Shi said, "I want to build a straight road from Huaihua to China. The money you pay is the cost of repairing the straight road. Ding Shao, a native of Huaihua, has no choice but to do this; and this is taken from the people for use."
To the people!' This silenced countless people who wanted to say something more.
Then, Huaihua County counted money until his hand tendons ached.
Within a month, the so-called maintenance tax alone contributed an average of more than 300,000 yuan per checkpoint to Huaihua's finances.
Huaihua County has set up at least seven checkpoints in total...
Of course, Bo Shi didn't just talk the talk, he really stepped up his game and started construction in Xinhua to build the official road to the standard of a straight road.
But there are only a thousand workers in total, and God knows it will take years and months to rebuild the straight road from Liaodong to Liaodong.
What's more, even if the straight path is completed, these checkpoints may not be abandoned.
Doesn’t this straight road need to be maintained? Doesn’t it need to be maintained?
So, suddenly, bullets like snowflakes poured in front of Liu Che's case.
Some people even went to Tingwei to complain to the Imperial Censor’s Yamen.
In this regard, Liu Che just wanted to say one thing: Who in the hall is suing me?
Because besides him, who else can think of such an immoral thing now?
This kind of stupid wisdom, although very unscrupulous, is also very dark.
However, the effect is still very obvious.
Once these 'toll stations' are set up, the maintenance funds for Huaihua County and even the entire Andong Protectorate will be available. Coupled with the reclamation groups and the gold rush, I dare not say, at least they can be dragged into the bowl of the Han Dynasty.
The territory has been completely labeled as "China's sacred and indivisible territory since ancient times".
Maybe, in the future, Liu Che can go to Vladivostok to see the scenery!
But now, the affairs of the Anton Protectorate have retreated from the focus of attention of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court.
Now, it is already late April in summer.
The most important political meeting in the Xiongnu Empire, the Dragon City Conference, is about to begin.
The Han Dynasty's attention to this year's Dragon City Conference was no less than that of later generations of the Emperor of China to the Two Sessions of the Communist Party of China.
Because, in fact, it is likely to determine who will rule the future of the Hun Empire?
Will the military officials continue to act alone, or will Yi Zhixie suddenly launch a counterattack? Or will both parties compromise?
Looking at it now, everything is full of variables.
But it is a pity that for a long time, the tug of war between the Han and the Hungarians made the Han Dynasty really lack understanding of the grassland.
So far, the Han Dynasty has not even figured out the specific geography and landforms of Hetao, Hexi, Yinshan and other areas under the control of the Xiongnu.
"It's a shame that Xiang Yu trapped the Qin Great Wall Corps in Xin'an, and the subsequent Chu-Han struggle for hegemony consumed the remaining remnants of this regiment..." Liu Che also sighed.
Xiang Yu's heroic life was really bad in this matter alone.
Its sequelae remain to this day.
The most deadly thing. There is no doubt that when the Great Wall Corps was almost exhausted, there were no military talents familiar with the geography of Hetao and Yinshan in China. The Han army could only act like a blind man when they left the fortress. Even now, Liu Che tried every means to
Through various means, I was able to figure out part of the local geography and the general outlines of Hetao and Yinshan Mountains, but that was all.
However, Liu Che seemed to also want to thank Xiang Yu for killing the Qin army's soldiers.
That's not the case. How could Guanzhong become the base of the Liu family?
Xiang Yu killed and surrendered, which directly caused Liu Bang to enter Guanzhong, just like returning to his hometown. The elders of Guanzhong lined the streets to welcome him, and ate pots of pulp to welcome the king.
The result is that even though Xiang Yu stationed a large number of troops in Guanzhong to defend the Han army to the death, the Han army secretly invaded Chen Cang. As soon as the army appeared on the land of Guanzhong, the elders of Guanzhong immediately welcomed it like their relatives.
Instead of playing any role, the three demoted generals Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi became captains of the transportation brigade.
If Xiang Yu hadn't killed him...
I am afraid that there is a big question mark on whether the Han Dynasty can still be established.
Therefore, Liu Che just sighed.
"Perhaps that's why Yi Zhixie keeps dragging his feet and refuses to fulfill his 'promise'..." Liu Che thought while holding his chin.
Last year, Yi Zhi came to Chang'an, but Liu Che put a knife to his neck and forced him to agree to send the remaining Wusun troops to the Han Dynasty.
but……
If you believe politicians' promises, it only means you are out.
I remember back then, Hitler took Mr. Steel and signed a non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Germany. Within a few years, Barbarossa came.
It’s the 21st century, and it’s time to be shameless.
Politicians from various countries swallowed the treaties and cooperation agreements they had just signed without changing their expressions. This happened not just once or twice.
In the final analysis, the so-called treaties, commitments, and agreements are just waste paper.
When it is advantageous, of course it will be implemented.
But only fools will comply if there is no benefit.
Especially, when the other party has no countermeasures, it is normal to sign and then tear it up, tear it up and sign again, and treat others like monkeys.
For Yi Zhixie, once he returned to the grassland safely, there was nothing the Han Dynasty could do against him!
Is it really possible to find out what is wrong with Yi Zhixie?
Not to mention whether the Huns would believe it (the military officials would definitely believe it, but others... haha...), even if they believed it, I would probably kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
The reason is very simple. If Yi Zhixie had a secret agreement with the Han Dynasty, then the Han Dynasty, using the name of the Xiongnu as an ally and a country of brothers, would secretly engage in dirty tricks, interfere in the internal affairs of the Xiongnu, and even intend to murder the Xiongnu Chanyu.
Any of these are enough to attract the Xiongnu's group of violent barbarians back to the east.
The Great Wall will be eventful from now on!
What's even more troublesome is that if the main force of the Xiongnu gives up their Western affairs and looks eastward to the Han Dynasty, then when the Han army leaves the fortress in the future, they will have to face those Xiongnu elites instead of the three or two kittens in Hetao now.
Of course, the Han Dynasty did not live on dry food.
Since Yi Zhixie refused to cooperate, the Han Dynasty would do it themselves.
There were traitors on the Han side who served and led the way for the Huns. How could there be no traitors on the Xiongnu side who were interested in China?
The so-called Xiongnu traitors are not hedging their bets like King Lu Ta of the East Hu, but real Xiongnu aristocrats who have sat on the side of China and have pure blood.
.
This is not surprising!
The border between Han and Hungary is so long. The forces of each other are intertwined.
At present, not all the northern territory of the Han Dynasty is within the protection scope of the Great Wall.
Cities such as Mayi that were exposed outside the Great Wall defense line were captured in large numbers.
In these places, the forces of Han and Hungary influenced each other.
Therefore, there was Nie Yi, the Han Dynasty businessman who could directly meet the military officials in the Mayi Conspiracy.
If that's the case, then it shouldn't be too simple to corrupt and brainwash a few leaders of the Xiongnu tribe.
Especially after Liu Che came to the throne, he increased his efforts to win over and corrupt these small Xiongnu tribes and affiliated tribes.
These people may not be able to do big things, but they can still get their hands on information and get information.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty probably also has the whereabouts of some Wusun remnants.
You know, these Wusun people are doing very badly.
They were chased like rabbits by the Huns, flying all over the grassland.
According to various collected intelligence, they fled eastward after being ambushed in the Yinshan Mountains. But even if they wanted to run away from the Han Dynasty border, they probably wouldn't be able to escape. Although the Huns had nothing to do on the Han-Hungarian border,
Elite, but with many tribes, it is easy to contain these homeless dogs.
Therefore, they followed the route of the East Hu people's defeat and ran all the way east towards the Mongolian Plateau.
This time the Huns gathered in Longcheng, it was said that there was a repertoire of sacrificing Wusun prisoners of war to the gods.
"The Wusun people probably have only two directions to escape now..." Liu Che thought to himself.
"The first is Beihai, which will be Lake Baijia in later generations..." If the Wusun people had really gone somewhere, let alone Liu Che, the Huns could only stare.
Although Beihai is nominally the territory of the Huns, in fact, that place of ice and snow, so poor that there are not even a few grass roots, has always been the place where the Huns exiled their slaves.
Except in summer, the area is almost unsuitable for human survival.
Otherwise, the military ministers would not be so generous and gave Beihai as a dowry to the Han Dynasty. To this day, the military ministers also send one hundred sheep to the foot of the Great Wall as the output of Beihai every year, and then ask the Han Dynasty for five hundred sheep.
What about the Beihai hosting fee for a piece of silk!
Originally, everyone in the government and the public felt that the Huns were blackmailing them and were unwilling to give the money.
But Liu Che considered the ownership of Beihai and decided to give it to the Xiongnu.
Naturally, the Huns would not risk going deep into the North Sea to hunt down the remnants of Wusun. Anyway, people who have always gone to the North Sea have either become coyote-like opportunistic savages like the Ding Ling people, or they have disappeared in the long river of history and become extinct in the ice and snow of the North Sea.
But there is another place where it is very possible...
Liu Che raised his head and looked at the northeast direction of the huge map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the wall.
"Daxinganling!" Liu Che whispered the place name.
Back then, after the Donghu people were defeated, they fled to the Greater Khingan Mountains and managed to survive, although they were split into two tribes, the Xianbei and Wuheng tribes.
But, at least, they survived.
Wusun had followed Maodun back then, and had fought against the Donghu people before. They were no strangers to this route, and naturally they knew very well that it was a very suitable place for hiding and concealment.
only……
What if Wusun really fled to the Daxinganling area?
Liu Che thought about it and felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.
So, he told Wang Dao: "Send someone to Huaihua and tell Brother Chen Xu to contact Wu Heng and Xianbei for me to inquire about the news carefully. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"
As long as the Wusun people run near the Daxingan Mountains, the local snakes will definitely find them.
As long as the Wusun people are found, Liu Che will definitely bring them back to the Great Wall.
Now, there are no more suitable thugs and cavalry instructors than these Wusun people.
Moreover, these Wusun people's unforgettable hatred for the Huns was enough to make them do their best to help the Han Dynasty train cavalry and master the geography of the grasslands.
"No!" Wang Dao nodded.
……………………………………………………
Dragon City.
At this moment, flags were flying, and nobles from all the large tribes and clans in the Xiongnu Empire gathered here.
Even kings from vassal states in the Western Regions appeared here with their subjects and generous gifts.
Last year, Wusun's destruction frightened all the kingdoms in the Western Region.
The Huns used their cruelty and bloodshed to educate the countries in the Western Regions about what power means!
The country of Wusun in the past is now a mess.
The Huns kidnapped almost all the women and children living there, and then killed all the men who dared to resist.
Even in some places, the Huns would not let go of men who had knelt down and were willing to lick their toes.
At least 100,000 Wusun or Wusun's men were killed.
Both sides of the Ire River were littered with corpses.
In order to frighten the countries in the Western Regions and to demonstrate their force, the Huns cut off the heads of all these corpses.
The heads of some nobles were made into wine vessels and then given to the royal families of various countries in the Western Regions or kept for their own collection.
But other heads, such as soldiers and slaves, were subjected to more cruel and bloody punishments.
The Huns impaled them all on wooden stakes or placed them on the tops of mountains.
Near Wusun's former capital, thousands of wooden stakes have turned the place into a ghostly place.
If the Huns hadn't planned to use the local area as an advance base to continue their westward march, otherwise, according to the tradition of the Huns, they would have even put a large number of dead bodies in local lakes and rivers to pollute the water sources, and then set fire to all the pastures or drive away a large number of sheep.
, gnawing away the local grass roots and turning it into a desert.
Even so, it's scary.
Anyway, all the countries in the Western Region were scared to death.
Even Dawan, who was originally very tough, was so frightened that he peed his pants.
This time, Dawan put down his cold air in the past and sent a mission to Longcheng in an attempt to beg for peace from the military ministers. As long as the Huns father does not come to attack us, then we are willing to pay a thousand slaves every year.
Thousand barrels of wine, five thousand gold coins, and fifty beauties.
This is the final bottom line for Dawan, whose ruling class is the descendants of Greek colonists.
If the Huns are not willing to accept even this condition, then the only thing Dawan can do is to fight to the end.
Just like the Trojan War.
But it is a pity that the Xiongnu who defeated Wusun and perfectly captured Wusun's population did not look down on such a thing of the Dawan people at all.
After the Dawan envoy arrived at Longcheng, the Huns did not even send any high-level nobles to receive them.
Moreover, the Dawan mission was arranged by the Huns in the queue of enslaved and affiliated tribal missions like Wuheng and Xianbei.
The meaning is already obvious: If you don’t give me what I, the Great Huns, like, then we will use our sabers to get it!
In today's world, except for the Han Dynasty in the south, who else can resist the advance of the Xiongnu? (To be continued.)
