Chapter 135 Wind and snow thousands of miles of blood and tears migration

If you want to develop the Western Regions, you can't do it without enough population. The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the population of the Western Regions to develop without tens or hundreds of years of time.

Of course, the main reason is that the population of the Western Regions is seriously unbalanced, and in order to maintain stability, it is necessary to let the Han population form an absolute advantage. In this case, Chen Ying has always wanted to immigrate to Tunbian.

It's just a pity that this idea is very difficult to implement. From the end of the great cause, to the five years of Wude, nearly ten years of war, the population of the Central Plains has been greatly reduced, and now in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there is no shortage of arable land in the Central Plains, and the Chinese people are a nation that is very nostalgic for their homeland, unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to leave their hometown, far away.

To coerce means, for fear of causing internal turmoil, and Li Yuan will not allow Chen Ying to do this, to use soft ones, Chen Ying's influence among the people is not enough.

Although Chen Ying has done several influential solo shows in a row, such as fighting against the Xue clan of the Western Qin, pacifying the rebellion of the surrounding enterprises, pacifying the rebellion of Liu Wuzhou, pacifying Wang Shichong, forcing Dou Jiande to surrender, creating chemical fertilizers, and developing scientific planting, however, the entry of the Li Tang court and the rule of the world have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it is far from being replaced by these few major events, and Chen Ying has not intervened in the civil officials of the imperial court at all.

The Chinese nation itself is war-fearing, restrained, feminine, and conformist, and the administration of the Li and Tang courts is only in response to this kind of popular nature. Chen Ying wanted to inject the Han nation with belligerent genes, but he had a long way to go. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to move the Han people from the interior and it is difficult to implement, but to vigorously develop the Western Regions, if the Western Regions are not dominated by the Han people, even if Chen Ying's garrison army can temporarily deter those careerists, but once Chen Ying leads the army back to Chang'an, they will repeat.

After all, Chen Ying silently calculated that once the Western Regions were cut off by Blizzard, even if the Li Tang Imperial Court wanted to make a countermeasure, it would take more than half a year or even a year, and in that case, the rebels would easily become a fire and water.

Whether it is Chen Ying's failure to maintain the speed of the soldiers and the war to destroy the Western Turks in one fell swoop, it is because of this concern. In the early days of the founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty was strong, and these vassal armies became the most powerful force for the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, but after the decline of the national strength of the Li Tang Dynasty, even though there were still hundreds of thousands of fierce Hu elites in the border pass, they immediately turned against each other, first the Gelulu Department defected in the Talas, so that the battle of national fortune between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food was defeated, and then An Lushan and Shi Siming led hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry to fight into the Central Plains.

As Chen Ying, who stands on the shoulders of historical giants, he has a very clear view of this national issue. The Hu people are all wolf-hearted, ungrateful, not my race, their hearts will be different, this truth is always correct, indulgence in the Hu is a disaster, self-reaping the consequences of this kind of thing is not uncommon in history.

The Xiongnu divided the north and the south, and the Han Dynasty received the Hetao area to make the Hetao area a place for the Southern Xiongnu to recuperate.

Of course, there is also this kind of thing in the Western Jin Dynasty. By Cao Cao's sweep of Karasuma, Xianbei wind, tens of millions of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma, Buyeo, Goguryeo and Gaoche, Ding Ling, Tiefo, Tiele, Qiang, Di, Qiang, etc. surrendered, only more than ten years later, Xianbei bald hair department took the lead in rebellion, and then Yang Wannian of the Di nationality rebelled again, and then the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, Di Li Xiong, Li Te, and the Xiongnu Shile, Xianbei Murong clan, Tuoba Department, the nomadic iron cavalry into the Central Plains, with the Han people as sheep, killing them as food, after dozens of hundreds of years of rape, lewdness and plundering, The entire Han nation was almost wiped out.

History, often with striking similarities. The Tang Dynasty was actually destroyed under this ethnic policy, and the relaxed ethnic policy allowed the Shatuo people to successfully invade Chang'an and sit on the throne. Let the Li Tang Dynasty completely disappear into the dust of history.

Chen Ying is naturally unwilling to repeat the mistakes of history, he would rather create one no man's land after another, rather than fattening and strengthening the Hu people with his own hands, and finally turn against each other, so that the Chinese nation will fall under the iron horse of the Hu people, moaning in pain.

Just when Chen Ying was at a loss, Chen Ying received the good news of Liu Tong, the Beiwei army, and in Liu Tong's good news, the Beiwei army formed an anti-Tibetan alliance with the Subi Department and the Suva Quluo Department. The Beiwei army also used the rescued Han slaves, and the imperial court expanded the army, and the three departments were combined, and the army swelled to more than 20,000 people.

Liu Tong remembered Chen Ying's practice in the grassland and decided to follow Chen Ying's example, so he began to expand wildly on the snow field.

Liu Tong and Xunxiang did not blindly kill, but learned from Chen Yingla's practice of fighting one faction, hanging all those tribal leaders and leaders who did a lot of evil on the flagpole, and let the blizzard freeze these unpopular tribal leaders and leaders to death, and then burned the deeds of these tribal leaders in public, and declared these Tubo people to become free people. Then they took away their grain, cattle and sheep, and all kinds of materials and property, and took away what they could not take away, and distributed them to the people who were oppressed to the Tibetans, just like the barley fields, land, and pastures.

Since then, Liu Tong and the Xunxiang Department have passed through both joys and sorrows. Some were secretly contacted by Tibetan slaves and acted as internal responses. Liu Tong and Xunxiang swept away one tribe after another, and by the time of February of the fifth year of Wude, his army had grown to more than 23,000 soldiers and rescued more than 200,000 Han people.

Now with the coming of spring, Liu Tong's department has aroused the vigilance of the Tubo people. Of course, Chen Ying can also understand that if the Tubo people don't react at this time, it will be water in their heads.

Most of these more than 200,000 people are frail and sickly, and there is no way to follow the Beiwei army and the Subi tribe to make a strategic transfer, Liu Tong hopes that Chen Ying can send troops to the Luobulula Valley of Kunlun Mountain to pick up these people who lack food and clothing!

Seeing that there were 200,000 people, Chen Ying was overjoyed. If it weren't for Chen Ying's arrival, they would definitely be tortured to death, in fact, when Chen Ying first arrived in Liangzhou, he was also suspicious, the five years of the Great Cause, the fourteen prefectures under the rule of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion totaled 790,000 households, and the population was about 4 million. However, in the third year of Wude, there were less than 200,000 mu left, less than 10,000 people.

Chen Ying is also very strange, although Xue Ju and Li Liang two Qin and Liang raised the banner to rebel, in fact, except for the battle of shallow water plateau and high jaw, there was no large-scale war, and the death of the people due to the war can also be ruled out.

When the physique of ordinary Han people reaches the snow plateau, it is good that one of the ten people survives. Even the rescued Han people, most of them were frail and sick, and they were weak. They will drag down the Beiwei army, but Chen Ying is not worried that these people are a burden, on the contrary, he is also worried that the population is too small.

If there were a million Han Chinese, Chen Ying believed that within three years, he would have the means to manage the Western Regions into a country of abundance that was not weaker than that of Bashu.

Time is life, at this time, Chen Ying ordered one hundred and four counties in nineteen prefectures in Xizhou Province, each county according to the size of the strength, a number of people and pack horses. Then meet in Jinman County.

Chen Ying did not use the soldiers of the Modao Army, but mainly the soldiers of the Shooting Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army and the five Hebei New Army soldiers of Zhichong Mansion, and Chen Ying led these people to brave the cold and rush towards Jinmancheng.

Marching in bitter cold weather is a taboo for soldiers. But Chen Ying didn't have this concern, now these soldiers who are either wearing cotton clothes or down jackets, even if they walk in the wilderness at minus 20 degrees, they don't feel cold.

Of course, what supported Chen Ying was so confident was the military station that Chen Ying established along the way. The Western Regions are very desolate, even if there are only dozens or hundreds of small broken cities, in fact, they are also at the level of small villages and towns in the Central Plains.

These stations were built from old camps, and when the soldiers arrived at the camp after a hard day's march, the leaders had already prepared a steaming meal and hot water.

The soldiers ate a hot meal, and then scalded their feet with hot water to eliminate fatigue, and then they fell asleep.

It is more than 500 miles from Gaochecheng to Jinman County, and Chen Ying's department arrived in Jinman County in seven days.

Seeing Chen Ying coming in the snow, Zhang Huaiwei found Chen Ying. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhang Huaiwei said cautiously: "Dadu Guard, forcibly marching for seven consecutive days, the soldiers must have been sleepy and tired, according to the opinion of the last general, should we rest for a few days, recuperate, and then look for fighters?" My Modao Army has been recuperating in Jinman County for three or four months, so I should let them come out for activities......"

Chen Ying pointed at Zhang Huaiwei and said: "Lao Zhang, I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to learn badly!" ”

Zhang Huaiwei was thin-skinned, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed when Chen Ying said something.

Chen Ying gave him a handbook to prepare 3,000 snow climbing plows, 200,000 stone grain, and a large number of sheepskins and clothes to keep out the cold, in Zhang Huaiwei's opinion, there should be a big battle to fight! Since the Modao Army arrived in the Western Regions, except for fighting with Murong Fuyun and beheading more than 8,000 levels, he has not caught a battle, he watched the Yue Cavalry Army, the Hebei New Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Shooting Army have made meritorious contributions, he is really anxious!

Chen Ying looked at Zhang Huaiwei's cramped and uneasy appearance, and said with a smile: "It's not a war now!" ”

"Not a war?"

Zhang Huaiwei asked curiously: "It's not a war, the general actually wants to use so many materials?" ”

"I'm picking someone up!!" Chen Ying said solemnly: "Go and pick up the 200,000 Han compatriots who were captured by Tubo!" ”

Chen Ying didn't explain much, but fell asleep on the bed.

When he woke up, Zhang Huaiwei had already prepared the materials and food that Chen Ying needed, as well as the snow plow, and these soldiers of the Anxi Army took a huge baggage transport team and marched in the direction of Yecheng along the road covered by snow and ice!

……

In the valley of Lopula, there are endless tents everywhere, and there are heart-rending screams and painful voices everywhere.

In an igloo made of ice, a woman knelt in front of a little girl whose head had been broken for two or three months, slapping the ground with her palms like crazy, making her hands bloody, and crying hoarsely, as if her heart had been torn apart.

It was sad to see Liu Tongjian.

This little girl who died was killed by this woman's husband, because this woman gave birth to a child after being by a Tibetan woman.

The man was pushed down on the snow by two soldiers of the Twin Guards, and the man screamed, "Let go of me, let go of me!" ”

Xun Xiang looked at it, and a pair of big feet stepped on the man's face: "Bastard, useless waste, don't dare to fight with the Tubo people, what kind of anger do you take a child!" She's only been three months, three months, and she's done a sin! ”

The strength to find the appearance is not small, and this kick is hateful.

The man was kicked out of four teeth by Xunxiang, and his whole face was swollen for a full circle!

The man argued in a hoarse voice: "I have a kind, I am not a waste!" ”

Liu Tong looked at the unkempt woman coldly and said, "Do you let him die?" If you forgive him, I can spare him from dying! ”

A murderous look flashed in the woman's eyes, but she looked at the man lying on the ground, and finally shook her head.

Liu Tong pointed at the man and said: "If you don't kill three Tubo people, you are a waste without eggs, the clerk recorded, beat him into the camp of dead soldiers, and turn into a jumping soldier without dying in three battles!" ”
