Seven hundred and seventy-eighth chapter Xianbei people's ambition
After nearly seven months, Zhang Weiyang came to the foot of Xianbei Mountain again.
The last time he came here, Zhang Weiyang was coerced or even kidnapped.
Therefore, I felt very nervous and did not have time to carefully observe the nearby geographical conditions.
But, this time is different.
The Xianbei people welcomed Zhang Weiyang's arrival as an "old friend". There were even cavalrymen who came to greet Zhang Weiyang when he first entered the Xianbei territory.
However, looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Weiyang couldn't be happy.
The last time I came to Xianbei Mountain, it was still winter, with heavy snowfall, and the whole world was buried under thick snow.
But when Zhang Weiyang came back this time, it was midsummer, and the mountains and fields were covered with flowers.
At the foot of the mountains, in the plains, and along the banks of the rivers, there are many criss-crossing lands that have been reclaimed and demarcated by humans.
Countless slaves, barely clothed and wearing only grass skirts and animal skins at most, were driven by some Xianbei people to work on these lands.
Since the trade between Huaihua, Xianbei and Wuheng has become more frequent recently, Zhang Weiyang saw many agricultural tools in these lands.
For example, tools such as the bronze lei and the bronze fort have been gradually eliminated from the mainstream agricultural tools in China. Today, the emperor strongly praises and encourages the people to use iron tools, and has repeatedly issued edicts: I will punish those who use gold as tools.
The so-called evil gold is the scientific name of iron, and its counterpart is the former king, the bronze called U.S. dollar.
With the encouragement of the emperor, iron tools were indeed stronger and more durable than the old bronze farm tools, and of course, the most important thing was that they were cheaper.
Therefore, in many places in China, a large number of bronze farm tools have been eliminated.
These obsolete bronze farm tools, in mainland China, those who can afford them are unwilling to use them, and those who are willing to use them cannot afford them...
As a result, all these discarded products were transported across the border by merchants.
Sold to South Vietnam, Minyue and even the Huns.
As long as someone needs them and can afford the price.
Businessmen don't care where these customers are from. Who are they?
"Sure enough, the merchants are all bugs, and they can all be killed!" Zhang Weiyang looked at this situation, and his feelings towards the merchants in his heart dropped countless levels.
As a soldier, Zhang Weiyang knows very well.
Iron weapons can kill people. Bronze weapons can also kill people.
Outside China, among the Yi and Di.
The biggest threat these potential enemies pose to the Chinese army now is their bows and arrows.
The bronze arrowheads were the best arrowheads used by the Yi and Di people, and they were also the biggest threat to the Han soldiers.
In other words, these merchants exported bronzes to the Yi and Di people.
In the future, it is very likely that Yi Di will use these bronzes to recast them into arrowheads, which in turn will attack the Han army and cause casualties to their comrades!
However, Zhang Weiyang knew very well that this kind of export of bronzes cannot be stopped by his small team.
Even the governor may not be able to do anything!
In this transaction, not only businessmen are involved, but also some noble people are looming in it.
"Envoy, my lord, welcome the envoy in the stone chamber..."
After Zhang Weiyang looked in front of these 'well fields' for a while, some Xianbei nobles came to greet him.
Zhang Weiyang nodded when he heard the words, and secretly wrote down what he saw and heard in his heart.
Zhang Weiyang had an intuition that this Xianbei person might become a hidden danger to Huaihua in the future.
Following the Xianbei noble, Zhang Weiyang walked up the Xianbei Mountain again, and was then taken to a stone room.
In front of the door of the stone chamber, Zhang Weiyang saw a terrifying thing.
The heads of several men who were obviously Xianbei people were hung in front of the cave entrance.
Although their flesh and blood had dried, the hairstyle on their heads undoubtedly told Zhang Weiyang that they were Xianbei people and Xianbei nobles.
"These are bald Xianbei bastards who tried to challenge the authority of your Majesty. Therefore, they were punished by your Majesty. Their souls will be wailing in hell forever and they will not be allowed to return to the embrace of the ancestors!" The noble who greeted Zhang Weiyang looked at it.
Seeing Zhang Weiyang's surprised look, he explained triumphantly.
For him, perhaps, this was a good opportunity to promote his leader's wisdom, prowess, and strength in front of the envoys of the Han Dynasty.
However, after Zhang Weiyang heard this, his heart was spinning like an ocean.
He remembered that he had met one of these heads when he came with Xu Jian last year.
"He is a bald Xianbei man..." Zhang Weiyang immediately found the appearance of the Xianbei chief who seemed to have equal status with Qiu Ke from his memory.
"Was he killed?" Zhang Weiyang thought in his mind.
If this matter is true, Zhang Weiyang knows that Xianbei is not likely to become a hidden danger, but will definitely become a hidden danger.
The ‘Mad King’ Qiu Keju is walking on the path that the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty once walked.
Huangdi Xuanyuan first killed Chiyou and then defeated Emperor Yan, so he unified all the Xia and became the first ancestor.
……………………
Qiu Kegu, I am in a very good mood now.
He held the brand new "The Analects of Confucius" in his hand and read the contents on it with fascination.
"Mi Guan Zhong, I was sent to the left!" He praised: "Master's teachings really inspire me every time I read them!"
Who is Guan Zhong? Qiu Kegu has probably heard of him.
It is said that he was a famous minister of a country in ancient Han Dynasty. He assisted the king of Qi, the overlord at that time, united the princes, eliminated the threat of Yi and Di, and rebuilt the status of China and the self-confidence of the Xia.
"I am now in a situation similar to Guan Zhong's. Heishan Xianbei and Tufa Xianbei have already surrendered. Just like Guan Zhong defeated Chu and subdued Jin. Next, I will be the prince of Jiuhe and rule the world, so that all Xianbei tribes can
Obey my orders!"
In this territory of two thousand miles near Xianbei Mountain, in addition to Xianbei and Wuheng, there are also many wild Xianbei and wild Wuheng living there.
These tribes are the descendants of criminals who were expelled from the past internal struggles between Xianbei and Wuheng.
Qiu Keju believed that as long as he could recover these scattered Ye Xianbei, Ye Wuheng and even Dingling and Fuyu people in the vast mountains, his power would naturally become stronger. By that time...
"Destroy Wuheng first..." His eyes looked into the distance: "Then attack the Xiongnu..."
"In the future, maybe I won't be able to go to Chang'an and ask about the importance of Han Ding..."
Thinking this, Qiu Kegu couldn't help but giggle.
However, he knew very well that the current Xianbei, let alone the Huns, and the Han Dynasty, even Wu Heng, might not be able to defeat them!
The Xianbei people, men, women, old and young, all added together, may have a population of around 100,000.
The Han Dynasty had a population of hundreds of thousands in the so-called Andong Protectorate alone.
If you add the Yao people, Zhenfan, and the surrendered tribes of Korea, you can easily mobilize an army that is larger than the population of Xianbei!
Moreover, the Han Dynasty's army was far stronger than Xianbei in terms of equipment and quality!
Even the height and physical strength that the Xianbei people were proud of in the past are not as good as those of the Han people!
"Sir, the envoy from the Han Dynasty's Andong Protectorate has arrived!"
When Qiu Keju was thinking, someone approached the stone room and said to him.
"Please come quickly, please come quickly!" Qiu Kegu immediately showed a smile as if he were seeing his relatives. He said loudly and enthusiastically: "It's great to have friends from far away! The Han envoys came from afar, which really made Xianbei
Up and down, the plum blossoms are shining brightly!"
Then, Zhang Weiyang's tall and strong body appeared in this stone room.
The moment Qiu Keju saw this Han envoy, he was stunned.
Zhang Weiyang is less than twenty years old this year.
But he has grown to a full eight feet tall!
After arriving in Xinhua, with good nutrition and regular exercise, this skinny kid from Handan City has grown into a burly man.
At least. For Xianbei people who are generally less than seven feet tall, Zhang Weiyang, who is eight feet tall, is already a giant!
What's even more frightening is that Zhang Weiyang's muscles in his limbs have become extremely developed due to his military career and long-term exercise in the past six months.
The armor he wore highlighted his height and strength to some extent.
"It seems that any officer in the Han Dynasty was so strong and tall!" Qiu Kegu sighed in his heart when he looked at Zhang Weiyang's figure.
At this time in China, the first choice for the best husbands, the best talents, and the smartest talents is to enlist in the army.
From noble princes to powerful landowners and scholar-bureaucrats, if their descendants have the conditions to develop into military commanders, then the whole family will devote all their resources to help them learn martial arts and practice martial arts.
Especially after Liu Che treated military masters' masterpieces like cabbage and printed them in large quantities and sold them to the noble and scholar-bureaucrat families.
This situation is getting worse and worse.
This has resulted in the quality of Chinese soldiers, especially officers, being the best in the world.
It is said that one Han is like five barbarians.
It’s not just the difference in equipment
In this world, the final factor that determines the outcome of a war can only be people, and only people can determine the outcome of a war!
"I am Zhang Weiyang, a humble general under the command of the Governor of the Andong Protectorate of the Great Han Dynasty!" As soon as Zhang Weiyang entered the stone room, he puffed out his chest, took out the letter written by Bo Shi from his arms, handed it to Qiu Keju, and said: "
On the order of the governor, I came to negotiate with the nobles on a matter..."
Qiu Keju accepted the letter. Now, Chinese has become the lingua franca of many ethnic groups throughout the northeast, including Wuheng and Xianbei.
The writing of the Han Dynasty also spread in this land.
Maybe the lower class slaves, herdsmen and even some nobles don't know how to do it.
But as the leader of a clan, a person like Qiu Kegu had to immediately keep up with the needs of the situation, learn and master it.
Not to mention, Qiu Keju himself has a certain amount of Chinese cultural heritage.
Therefore, it is not difficult for him to read letters or anything like that.
After reading the letter, Qiu Keju fell into deep thought.
The Governor of Anton in the Han Dynasty was very polite in his letter, saying, "If Xianbei can help me today, I will be rewarded generously the next day."
but……
The other party's request was somewhat beyond Qiu Kegu's acceptance.
The Wusun people are somewhere a few hundred miles away from the Xianbei Mountains.
Of course Qiu Keju knew.
He has also been working hard to find the whereabouts of these Wusun people.
However, he is only doing this for the development of his own power.
Qiu Kegu knew and understood that the Wusun people had superb horse-raising skills and riding skills.
These two things are what Xianbei needs.
Now, the governor of the Han Dynasty came over, said a few nice words, and wanted to snatch away the Wusun people he liked?
is it possible?
Qiu Keju shook his head in his heart!
However, it is not easy to refuse.
The current image of the Han people in the hearts of the Xianbei people is that of a giant who defends his shortcomings and has a bad temper.
In order to stand up for their younger brother, they would not hesitate to threaten a strong man like the Huns and force the Huns to kill his cousin.
Or because North Korea's guards were disrespectful, they could launch a large-scale military operation and wipe the Kingdom of North Korea off the face of the earth in one fell swoop.
To Xianbei now, such a person can only fawn over, but never offend!
"Envoy, please rest assured. I know the request of the Governor of your country. I will send someone to look for it immediately. If I find it, I will tell the Governor as soon as possible!" Qiu Kegu said with a smile.
Of course, what he told was a lie.
"Anyway, I am a Yi Di, and the Yi Di have no faith or righteousness. This is what Master said!" Qiu Keju thought proudly in his heart.
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Weiyang saw that Qiu Kegu agreed very readily, and his feelings about him felt a little better.
"General, I have to go to Wuheng, so I won't disturb the king any more!" Zhang Weiyang bowed and saluted, then left.
After Zhang Weiyang left, Qiu Kegu's face suddenly turned pale.
"People from the Han Dynasty will still contact the Wuheng people?" This news was simply a nightmare for Qiu Keju.
Because Qiu Keju knew nothing about the thoughts and attitudes of the Wuheng people.
If the Wuheng people helped the Han Dynasty find the Wusun people, they would then be sent to the border wall of Huaihua.
Then wouldn’t he be beaten to pieces?
"What should I do?" Qiu Keju thought in his heart.
The remnants of Wusun themselves may not be that helpful to Xianbei.
But the fine horse breeds they brought were indispensable for Xianbei's future rise.
"no!"
"The Wusun people cannot be allowed to enter the border walls of the Han Dynasty!"
Once the Wusun people enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, they will immediately be protected by the Han Dynasty people. By then, let alone the Xianbei people, even the Huns will probably be left behind and regret it endlessly.
But Qiu Keju knew that he had no way to convince his mortal enemy Wu Heng to join forces with him to find the remnants of Wusun and then divide them up.
Throughout the ages, whatever the Xianbei people wanted to do, the Wuheng people would definitely make trouble and destroy it.
vice versa.
The relationship between Wu Heng and Xianbei is full of emotions like 'as long as the other person's life is not good, I will be happy'.
"Since I can't get it, I will destroy them!" Qiu Kegu thought viciously in his heart.
Then, he ordered: "Come here, send a letter to me to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting!"
The Han Dynasty wanted the Wusun people, right?
good!
I give it to you!
Qiu Kegu showed a strange smile.
"Hehe... As long as the Huns and the Han Dynasty fight, then my destiny as a Xianbei will come!" Qiu Kegu thought excitedly.
Qiu Keju knew very well that once the Xiongnu Chan Yuting found out, the Wusun people fled to the territory of the Han Dynasty.
So, with the character of the Xiongnu, they would definitely ask for someone from the Han Dynasty.
And the Han Dynasty people spent so much effort to get the Wusun people, and they would definitely not give up easily.
In this way, the two strongest men in the world will collide directly, and even an all-out war will break out.
At that time, Xianbei can develop and grow under his leadership and take advantage of the war between the two sides.
Wasn't the rise of the Xiongnu at that time due to the war between Donghu and Yuezhi? (To be continued.)
