It is understandable that Nishejia has been in power for decades and has read a lot of books. However, what he studied during this period was Confucian classics. It is said that this man's Confucian attainments made Zheng Xuan very happy, so he married his granddaughter.
This foreigner is not good at governance and has no strategy. He is a great Confucian with a benevolent heart and a gentleman without a city, just like Zheng Xuan.
Therefore, Jia Xu did not strictly monitor Nishejia. He did not think that this person could cause any trouble to him. Such a gentleman who had a common mind was the best to deal with. However, today, this person asked himself whether he wanted soldiers.
, and even vowed that he could solve Sogdia's current troubles, but Jia Xu himself had not come up with any solution. He did not believe that Nisekja could have any ideas.
If there is, it can only be taught by others. In these days, Cao Cao was the only one who had talked to him for a long time. Perhaps only Cao Cao could come up with any suitable method around him. He stared at the greasy color in front of him.
Jia looked at it for a long time and then asked: "What do you want to do? If you don't explain clearly, I can't agree to such a big thing as borrowing soldiers."
Niseka solemnly said: "There are millions of farmers, merchants, and craftsmen in the Sogdian region. However, you may not know it, but there are also slaves here, who are called untouchables. They do not belong to the four major castes.
Among them, they are used by nobles, merchants, and even farmers. They are not allowed to engage in various industries. They are not even allowed to engage in farming. They can only do lowly jobs such as serving people."
"oh?"
Jia Xu seemed to understand something, and he asked: "How many are these people?"
"I don't know. No one has ever counted their number, and they will not be included in the household registration. They are not regarded as citizens. However, they just clean the courtyards and do business in the homes of the nobles in Maracanda.
I think that in the entire Sogdian region, there should be more than 300,000 untouchables, old, weak, women and children who have been abandoned. These people are all young and strong."
"I intend to release them, give them freedom, and let them start farming and enter various industries. However, if I do this, countless people will definitely resist and oppose them, and even kill them. Therefore, I borrow
The army just wants to suppress these resisters! As long as these hundreds of thousands of people can flow to various places, cultivate and become self-sufficient, there will be no problem. The land here is still very fertile."
Hearing Nishekia's ambition, Jia Xu was also a little shocked. He had not even thought of this. Nishekia's words were correct. These slaves had been oppressed for a long time. If the Han army released them, they would only shed tears of gratitude to the Han army, and
They are used to being obedient and will not cause trouble easily. In addition, in the local area, these slaves who have endured hardship are definitely much more diligent than those lazy Kushan farmers.
Jia Xu thought for a moment, looked at Niseka, and said: "But this is a great good thing. You don't need to borrow a battalion of soldiers. I will personally lead the northern and southern armies to help you do it. You can just do it!!"
Sejia was overjoyed. He had thought that Jia Xu would not be convinced so easily. He was about to say goodbye and leave, but Jia Xu suddenly asked, "I don't know this strategy, but Duke Nisejia came up with it himself?"
"No, I once went to Xinha and met Duke Cao. This was mentioned by Duke Cao!"
"kindness"
Nishejia left, but Jia Xu quickly found Dong Zhuo and told Dong Zhuo what Nishejia had said. Dong Zhuo was naturally overjoyed when he heard that. As a general, the first thing on his mind was the war. He felt that he could even
Using these soldiers who are familiar with the terrain and climate of Kushan to fight against the Kushan army can reduce the casualties of the Han army!
However, Jia Xu did not agree. He believed that the most important issue at present was the issue of food and grass. If the people here could not be fed, there would be no need for Guishang to attack, and the Han army would collapse first and have no choice but to withdraw to the Western Regions.
From the next day, Niseka announced a decree that shocked everyone, ordering everyone to release the untouchables and give them the status of the fourth caste for farming. Such behavior immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and Niseka also
He was insulted by everyone, and sometimes his reputation collapsed so quickly. After learning that the law was not good for him, Niseka, the virtuous king in the mouth of the officials, suddenly became a sinner.
He became a traitor to Kushan and Dong Zhuo's lackey.
Niseka ignored it. In his heart, it was obvious that the life and death of the people here was far more important than his own reputation. He also wanted to explain to everyone that if the untouchables were not released and no one would work the land, everyone would be hungry.
If they die, when the Han army withdraws, how will they survive without food? This is all for everyone's livelihood.
However, no one paid any attention to his excuse, even the lowest farmers. They united to express their dissatisfaction with the new law. Perhaps, in their eyes, maintaining a livelihood is not important, but the important thing is to also
There are people below them, but they are not at the bottom. If there were no untouchables, who would they bully in the future? Where would they release the pain they suffered from the nobles?
Niseka was shocked. He thought that the nobles would object because this directly touched their interests, but he did not expect that the common people would also object. Isn't this all for you? If you don't work hard, the nobles will
Maybe they won't starve to death. The food stored in their homes is enough to feed them for several generations. But what about you people? How to survive?
Nisekya gradually became silent. For a long time, he closed his eyes and thought deeply. The cries of the people demanding the abolition of the law touched him greatly. This man who studied Confucian scriptures all his life and wanted to imitate the saints
The great scholar is now confused.
Jia Xu ignored him. After the decree was implemented, he began to lead his soldiers throughout Sogdia and began to release these slaves who had been bullied for a long time. They forcibly broke open the gates of the nobles and took away all the slaves.
In some places, they saw shocking scenes. In order to show their resistance to the new laws, the nobles went so far as to kill the slaves who were supposed to be freed in their mansions.
And killing these slaves is also a slave.
Under the order of the nobles, these slaves knelt down on the ground crying, constantly begging for mercy, hoping to be forgiven. Hundreds of people knelt on the ground, constantly praying for forgiveness. The nobles sat in front of them, eating from
The high-quality tea obtained by the Han Dynasty caused two or three strong slaves to kill these poor people. Two or three people raised their swords numbly, and hundreds of them kneeled numbly.
When the Han soldiers rushed into the courtyard, they saw such a shocking scene. Rivers of blood flowed on the ground. The slaves were crying, but the Kushan nobles were sitting on Hu chairs, laughing wildly and waving their hands.
, roared forcefully at the Han soldiers, "The only things you can take away from me are their corpses!!"
"Wow!"
As the sword light flashed, the ugly head fell to the ground, and he died with his eyes closed. Perhaps, he died without knowing why these people would kill his life for some untouchables!
This kind of thing happened often, and the large number of slaves were temporarily placed in various camps of the Han army. Probably after the Han army executed the fourteen nobles who massacred the slaves, the nobles gave up such behavior, vented their anger, and commended them.
One's own noble status is obviously important, but compared to these, one's own life is still more important.
After appeasing the slaves, Nisheka personally went to these camps one by one, promulgated new laws to the slaves, granted them freedom, allowed them to engage in various industries, and promised to protect them.
I will no longer be killed for no reason or humiliated. After Niseka finished speaking, the entire camp was silent, and then there was a huge cry.
These slaves waved their thin arms and knelt down to Nisekya and the surrounding Han soldiers.
Originally, things were going in a good direction, but just three days later, a large number of killings of nobles occurred. Those who killed the Kushan nobles were not slaves, but the Han army, or the Han army.
The most unique one among them is the brave camp.
After seeing the scene of the nobles massacring slaves, the Xiaoyong camp seemed to go crazy and began to attack the nobles. A large number of nobles were massacred by the Xiaoyong camp.
When he first heard the news, Dong Zhuo was full of shock?
Who do you think attacked the Kushan nobles??Xiaoyong camp??Dongyi people???
"How do you run the army?! Sogdia has just stabilized, and something like this happened!" Niseka roared angrily. He didn't have much affection for those nobles in his heart. In the Han Dynasty, these nobles also
They are the so-called rich families. No, they cannot be considered rich families. In the Han Dynasty, aristocratic families were very kind to the people. They would provide relief to the people in times of disaster, and would teach some children from poor backgrounds and cultivate them into talents!
The nobles of Kushan are not worthy to be ranked with the aristocratic families.
It should be said that they are similar to powerful people, but even if they are powerful, they will not kill others arbitrarily. Even if they kill slaves in their own houses, they will be interrogated and arrested by the county officials.
However, no matter how angry Niseka was with them, it did not mean that he could agree to the Han army's attack on them and wipe out their households. Most of the people were attached to these nobles, and killing them wantonly would probably cause civil unrest.
, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Dong Zhuo was still at a loss. He rubbed his forehead, looked at Qu Yi beside him, and asked, "Is this really the heroic camp?"
"It is indeed the brave camp."
"No matter which camp they are in, Duke Dong should immediately tell them to stop this behavior!!!" Nisekya said again.
Dong Zhuo nodded and asked, "Where is Gongsun Zan?"
"Captain Gongsun is out conducting reconnaissance and has not returned yet."
"Then send people to arrest Xiaoyongying!"
"Dong Gong was sent a long time ago. These people are so elusive that we can't catch them at all. I personally led the team and brought three cavalrymen of the Northern Army, but we couldn't catch them at all," Qu Yi said a little aggrievedly.
Just as Dong Zhuo was about to speak, Nisekya shouted: "I want to report what happened here to the emperor!!"
"Shut up! Naiweng is going to bloodbath you in the north and south of Guishuang!!!" Dong Zhuo roared angrily. Nisejia turned pale and took a few steps back, pointing at Dong Zhuo. His hands were trembling, but he could not speak.
Dong Zhuo was furious, like a violent bear. He looked at Qu Yi and said: "Let Gongsun Zan return home quickly!! Send people to continue looking for them! Don't hurt them. If you hurt one person, I will tear you alive!!"
"
Qu Yi nodded in fear and quickly walked out of the tent.
Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand, pinched Nishejia's neck, and pulled him suddenly to him. His head gradually came closer to him, and he said coldly:
"You remember it!"
"Xiao Yong Camp, I'm sure of it!"
"If you dare to report to the emperor, reveal a little bit of the situation."
"I will slaughter Guishuang! I will not leave any chickens or dogs alive!"
