Chapter 86 Hu Wuren Han Daochang (one change)

The next morning, the snow was still falling. Su Dingfang came to ask Chen Ying if he was sending troops in the snow. Chen Ying pondered, marching in the snow, even if there is snow climbing plough tents to keep warm from the cold, but there are some soldiers who are moved outside, whether it is the Zhaowu Nine Divisions or the soldiers of the Tang Army, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they are frostbitten and frostbitten, which is always not beautiful.

Chen Ying groaned: "Cao Dan, how long do you think this snow will fall?" ”

Cao Dan explained in a low voice: "General Chen, this snow in the Western Regions will fall every day, and it won't stop until the sun comes out!" ”

Chen Ying asked again, "Then how long will it take for the sun to appear?" ”

"Big ...... Probably...... It's almost an hour and a half!"

The dawn in the Western Regions was originally later than that of the Central Plains, and now it is another hour and a half in the evening, I am afraid that it will not be until noon to set off, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach Gaochang City.

Chen Yingdao: "Then let's go now!" ”

Su Dingfang heard the order and beat the agitation to go out of the army. More than 20,000 men and horses left the camp outside Gaoche City and headed for Gaochang City in the northwest.

Gao Changguo Ling Yin saw this scene, and his eyes flashed with uneasiness. And Ko Wentai was shocked: "Please calm the general's anger, Ko Wentai is willing to be disposed of by the general!" ”

"Disposition?" Chen Ying smiled slightly and said: "You think too much, your Koji clan, Shizhen Gaochang, protect hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of my Huaxia clan, and you have made meritorious contributions to Cangsheng Sheji, this general will not dispose of you, on the contrary, this is to give you a great wealth!" ”

Although Chen Ying is not a so-called history expert, he knows that the Western Regions have been under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty. Even during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in turmoil, and the Central Plains was ravaged by the Hu people, but out of Liangzhou Zhang Rail, he took the opportunity to establish the Liang State of the Zhang family, and set up the Western Regions Protectorate in Zhang Jun and Zhang Chonghua, and brought the Western Regions under the rule of the Liang State. Later, the five kingdoms of Former Qin, Later Liang, Western Liang, and Northern Liang ruled the Western Regions.

During the period of social upheaval, the more central areas were hit harder, when the entire Central Plains was slaughtered with heads rolling, rivers of blood, white bones exposed, and ten rooms and nine emptiness. On the contrary, remote areas can be safely secured, such as the Liangzhou area, which was relatively stable during the reign of the Zhang family.

Gaochang was far away from the Central Plains, and during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were two large-scale population migrations, the first was when Zhang's Liang Kingdom was destroyed by the former Qin, and the people of Guyu region, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Hezhou, and Shazhou fled westward on a large scale.

At that time, the Han people and the Han people who migrated to the Western Regions during the original Han Dynasty have been based on their own territory, and with the establishment of the Gaochang Kingdom, a large number of Han people in the Western Regions, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains poured into the Gaochang Kingdom for refuge. and attached to Gao Guochang, so Gao Chang gradually became stronger.

Because the geographical situation here is very advantageous to the development of the agricultural and handicraft economy that the Han people are familiar with, the Han people who flow here adapt to the local natural geography and form four counties, eighteen counties and forty-eight towns in the Gaochang Kingdom.

When King Gaoche heard this, he shook his head and said: "General Chen doesn't know something, and said that the Han people of Gaochang Kingdom are grateful for the grace of the Koji clan, but this is not necessarily, almost all the Han people in Gaochang hate the Koji clan for not dying!" ”

Hearing Gao Che Wang's lame Tang Yan, Chen Ying made it for a while before he understood, of course he didn't listen to it partially, but turned to look at Ma Mengming and asked, "What does he mean, Ma Lingyin explain it to me!" ”

"It's nothing, it's nonsense!" Ma Mengming denied it, pointed at the king of the high car and roared: "You reverse black and white, refer to the deer as white, spew blood, despicable and shameless......"

Zhou Qing on Chen Yingchong's side said: "General Ben came to Gaoche, and he hasn't seen the Han clan yet, so you go around the towns and villages in circles, and let the major families send representatives to come and meet General Ben!" ”

Zhou Qing bowed and saluted: "Obey!" ”

When Ma Mengming heard this, his face changed suddenly: "General...... Wronged, my lord is also forced to helpless......"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Ying didn't have to think about it with his head, but he knew with his knees that he was afraid that the historical record was wrong. I'm afraid the rumors are not true.

Chen Ying's face slowly became gloomy: "You'd better explain it clearly to General Ben, otherwise the Koji clan will have no chance to Chang'an!" ”

Ma Mengming saw that Chen Ying was angry, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he told Chen Ying eloquently.

It turned out that Ma Ru, the first king of Gaochang in Gaochang Kingdom, thought that he was the right long history. In 497 A.D. (the twenty-first year of Taihe), Ma Ru, the king of Gaochang, declared himself a vassal to Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and requested to attach it. Accepted Ma Ru's request, and sent the Mingwei general Han Baoan to accept and cut 500 li of land for Ma Ru to live in. However, Koji Jia secretly took refuge in the Rouran people. He thought that Rouran was powerful, and once Gaochang moved the country eastward, then Rouran would definitely send an attack, and the Northern Wei court could not quench his thirst from far away, so he led his troops to rebel and kill Ma Ru and establish himself as king.

This is the beginning of the koji clan. Later, the Rouran people weakened, especially the Turkic Tumen Khan defeated Rouran, and the Gaochang State surrendered to the Turks under the leadership of the then Gaochang king Lu Baomao.

After Gaochang surrendered to the Turks, he was given a chance to survive under the protection of the Turks. As a vassal state, Gaochang had to pay heavy taxes to the Turks every year. In this way, the tax was naturally passed on to the common people.

The key is that Gaochang is a vassal state of the Turks, and the Turks in Gaochang are even ordinary soldiers, but they are also high masters, and the Turks can be in Gaochang to get wind and rain. However, the kings of the Koji clan did not dare to anger the Turks, for fear of retaliation.

So, the law was enacted. But whenever the Gaochang people and the Turks, no matter what the dispute, Gaochang first hit the forty big boards, and the forty big boards went down, and the hard ones had half a life, and the soft ones were killed at that time. The king of Gaochang was afraid of the Turks like a tiger, and the same was true of officials at all levels, so the Gaochang Han people were the third-class slaves of the Western Regions.

The first class is the high-ranking Turkic people, the second class is the Hu people of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the third class is headed by the Koji clan and ruled Gaochang with seven surnames such as Xue, Ma, Zhang, He, Liu, and Liu.

Under the high-pressure rule of King Gaochang, in order to survive, the Han people of Gaochang could only swallow their anger in the face of the provocation of the Turks. Gao Changguo is said to be a country with Han people as the main body, but in fact it is a country where there is no distinction between right and wrong, the law is degraded, the strong bully the weak, the Hu people oppress the Han people, the wicked run rampant, and the good people have no peace of mind.

There is indeed a customary custom of "snatching wives" in the Turks, allowing powerful young people to rob women from all over the country and all departments as wives, which is a very ugly barbaric custom in the eyes of the Han people, in the Central Plains, not to mention that ordinary men who snatch other people's wives will be sentenced to heavy punishment, even the emperor does not dare to openly rob a married woman, but in Gaochang State is acquiescing to this kind of behavior, of course, those who rob other people's wives will be considered a good man, and those who are robbed by others are a wreck.

The Gaochang Dynasty has been standing for one hundred and forty years, and the bloodline of the Gaochang Han surname is completely chaotic, not to mention that the language is degenerate, and even the living habits are the same as those of the Hu people. The Gaochang Han people have degraded in terms of economic and cultural level. Although Chen Ying, as a person of later generations, understood that this was an example of the transformation of the Han people into the Hu people in a special period, it was by no means the only case in history.

In the later Celestial Empire, the law was tilted towards ethnic minorities in various aspects such as education, childbirth, taxation, social security, medical care, etc., and many Han people also took the initiative to change to ethnic minorities, and also took the initiative to Huhua.

Chen Ying can understand Koji's behavior, but he will not accept it. His intention to destroy Gaochang is even more determined.

What made Chen Ying most angry was that in order to obtain the protection of the Turks, King Gaochang sent Gaochang Han women to the Turks Yinle and young and middle-aged people to the Turks as slaves.

When Chen Ying heard the news, he trembled with anger: "How many Han people are there in Gaochang Kingdom now?" ”

Ma Mengming felt the murderous aura on Chen Ying's body, and said timidly: "Except for the six surnames of Xue, Ma, Zhang, He, Liu, and Liu, there are one or two thousand young people, it seems that there are so many!" ”

"What about the others?"

The murderous intent in Chen Ying's tone can be seen by a fool.

Ma Mengming didn't dare to answer.

"Haha!" Chen Ying pushed open the door, letting the cold wind blow his body, he was afraid that his anger would ignite by itself.

Chen Ying walked to the barracks in the city.

Seeing Chen Ying's arrival, the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Modao Army lined up to greet Chen Ying.

Chen Ying's eyes swept over the soldiers and said: "We Han family men, there are two things that are the most unbearable, one is to kill the father, and the other is to take the wife. There are two things that are most intolerable in our Datang law, one is treason and betrayal of friends, and the other is adulterous wives and daughters. Whoever commits these two things, according to my Datang law, what should I do? ”

Luo Shixin yelled: "Kill! ”

Chen Ying looked at Ma Mengming and asked, "What does Ma Lingyin think?" ”

Ma Mengming said in a trembling voice: "Those who betray their friends should be punished!" Otherwise, how can the community exist! Whoever commits adulteration with his wife and daughter should be killed! Otherwise, how can Li Min be safe! ”

"Ma Lingyin said it well!" Chen Ying looked at the soldiers again and said: "Brothers, the Western Regions have been my territory in China since ancient times, and now the homeland of my Han compatriots in the Western Regions has been trampled on, and my wife and daughter have been humiliated, what will you do?" ”

The blood of the soldiers began to boil: "Kill...... Kill...... Kill! ”

Chen Ying said again: "Gao Chang."

Zhang Mai said: "Gaochang of the Koji clan, since the founding of the country, there is no distinction between right and wrong, the law has been lost, and the people are in a hurry. Although it is known as the Han State, in my opinion, his koji clan is the minions of the Turkic people, and my Chinese people and compatriots have been humiliated and oppressed, and there is no way to complain. However, today, the general is here, we are here, where we go, the order of our Datang will be established, and the order of our Datang will make the Hu people dare not oppress the Han people, so that the strong will not dare to bully the weak, so that the wicked will not dare to run amok, so that the good people can live in peace. ”

Luo Shixin had faintly understood what Chen Ying meant at this time, and he yelled excitedly: "Kill the King of Gaochang and destroy the Kingdom of Gaochang!" ”

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Kill the king of Gaochang, destroy the ...... of Gaochang Kingdom"

Chen Ying turned to look at Ma Mengming, at this time, Ma Mengming's face was in cold sweat, and his body trembled like chaff.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Ma Lingyin, this general will teach you another truth!" ”

Ma Mengming was stunned.

Chen Yingdao: "Hu no one, Han Daochang!" ”
