Zhangye is a critical place. Although the northwest merchants formed their own caravans to trade and did not give the Zhangye family the opportunity to resell and earn the difference, after all, the road is here. If you want to survive from now on, you must pay enough taxes to them.
.
I drive this road, so of course I have to leave money to buy the road, otherwise these local snakes will make you die without even knowing how to die.
Therefore, once the Han Dynasty occupied Zhangye, merchants from the northwest would definitely swarm up and engulf the Zhangye family.
After all, when it comes to money and manpower, how can the Zhangye family, which survives in the cracks, be the opponent of these northwest merchants? They were so arrogant before, just because they had Tuyuhun backing them.
What's more, it is well known that the Han Dynasty does not allow aristocratic families to exist openly and honestly. Therefore, if the merchants want to deal with the aristocratic families, the Han Dynasty court will definitely support them. When the time comes, the Zhangye aristocratic families will not be able to escape after they are torn apart.
In addition, the Han Dynasty followed the imperial examination system, so it was naturally impossible to open a separate door for Hexi.
The imperial examination system and the selection of talents are all based on the principle of fairness and justice. This is difficult for the Zhangye family to accept. After all, they have been a gangster for so long. In the end, they may not even be able to arrange the future of their own children, even Zhangye.
The official arrangements for one-third of an acre of land have nothing to do with me, so wouldn't this local snake become a local bug?
After all, when it comes to knowledge, the heads of the Zhangye family know that there is no way to compare with others.
Therefore, when the Han army entered Zhangye, many poor local people, both Han and Tuyuhun people, who had heard of the Han's policy of gentleness and peace of mind, were very happy. At least when they sent troops to the west and north, the Han never said that they would enslave anyone.
As long as any nation, whether it is the Ba people, the Xianbei people, or even the Turks, recognizes the policies of the Han and follows the guidance of the Han, they will be able to live like a fish in water now, right?
Therefore, even many Tuyuhun people at the bottom of society are looking forward to the arrival of the Han army.
No one wants to be oppressed all the time, at least the arrival of the Han army may mean that they have a chance to stand up.
Yu Wenxin was not idle during these days, recruiting strong men in the city for training, and many poor people in the city responded positively. They really wanted to stay under the banner of the Han Dynasty.
The Zhangye family must have the opposite idea. They really thought about the past, even if it was more difficult, at least the family could still survive.
Yu Wenxin knew this very well. He had been in the northwest for some years, and he naturally knew the basic situation of the enemy well. Therefore, as soon as he entered Zhangye, Yu Wenxin firmly controlled these aristocratic families.
Yu Wenxin actually has to thank the former masters of Zhangye such as Tujue and Tuyuhun, because although they rely on these local aristocratic families, they suppress these guys, so these aristocratic families naturally do not dare to recruit too many private soldiers. When the Han Dynasty
The Han army entered Zhangye. Although they wanted to resist, they could only become prisoners under the sharp swords of the Han army.
If these aristocratic families already have enough private soldiers and can even mobilize the surrounding people through daily favors, then Zhangye will not be so easy to capture.
At this time, standing on the city, the heads of the Zhangye family were reluctant, and although their hands and feet felt cold when they saw the formation of Tuyuhun's troops, they still had to stand obediently.
The bayonets of the Han army musketeers behind were very sharp. If they made any small moves, I might be the first to be shocked.
However, Yu Wenxin's main purpose is not to let the heads of these aristocratic families serve as human shields. Even if these guys die under the stone bullets and arrows of the enemy's siege, it may cause riots among the various families in the city. Therefore, Yu Wenxin's main purpose is to
To kill people and punish people, let these guys show off in the city first.
It can not only express the support of each family for Yu Wenxin - even if this support is the support of a knife on the neck - but also stabilize the hearts of the defenders in the city, especially the hearts of the local young men. You see, the families are actively cooperating.
, you also have to work harder.
Of course, it was also for the Tuyuhun army outside the city to see.
The Tuyuhun cavalry had already appeared outside the city gate before. Just by glancing at it from a distance, you should be able to see a few people on the city who are different from the Han army armor, and then take a look at the flags of various houses flying on the city.
, I will definitely go back and tell my coach that these aristocratic families have already sided with the big man.
Everyone knows that these Zhangye aristocratic families are just outsiders, but at least they have not jumped around repeatedly before. First they followed the Turks, and then they followed Tuyuhun. This is nothing, but if they follow the Han now, in the blink of an eye, Tuyuhun will take the city.
, the situation will become very embarrassing. The Zhangye family should not mind continuing to work for Tuyuhun, but how can Tuyuhun trust them as before?
If there was any trust before, that trust has been reduced to zero now.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
The current Han Dynasty has realized the evolution from a single ethnic group to multi-ethnic cooperation and coexistence, and has begun to replace the previous narrow national concept with a broader national concept. Therefore, the Han Dynasty can tolerate the Chinese people, and even tolerate the Xianbei and Turks.
But Tuyuhun was different. Tuyuhun had a strict system of respectability and social status based on blood. The Han people were at the bottom and were in the minority, so it was naturally impossible for them to gain Tuyuhun's trust.
Even if it is found out through investigation that these aristocratic families were only forced, preconceptions will prompt Tuyuhun to deal with them quickly.
This is the real viciousness of Yu Wenxin's actions.
As soon as the Zhangye family appeared like this, they were traitors to Tuyuhun and could not go back.
Of course the heads of the aristocratic families knew the pros and cons, so this was the root cause of their cold hands and feet.
With their retreat route cut off, the Zhangye family had no choice but to unite with the Han army to fight against the powerful enemy.
The siege had begun, and the heads of these aristocratic families were naturally detained in confusion.
And Yu Wenxin drew out his horizontal sword and said with emotion: "Young men of the Han Dynasty, this place was originally opened by the champion, this county was originally established by Han Wu, and it has been the land of Han since ancient times. The barbarians have been entrenched for many years without shame. Today we have recovered
This place should be regarded as a great Han Dynasty and guarded by Your Majesty!"
"Long live the great Han!" the Han soldiers shouted in unison.
It is unimaginable for them to be able to open a hole in the siege and launch a surprise attack behind enemy lines. The depression of being suppressed and beaten outside Wuwei City has already been expressed. It is worth it that we have come so far.
!
All that's left is to use this life to kill a few more damn Tuyuhun people!
This is Han territory and we cannot give in even an inch.
Cannons roared, arrows were fired, and shouts were heard above and below the city like the roaring waves of an angry sea.
