"You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is the captive, please be long.

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! ……”

At the beginning of October, such songs resounded everywhere in the cities of Dunhuang, Guazhou and other cities, as well as in the long streets of Rouyuan City, the newly recovered Beiting Yizhou Prefecture!

On the one hand, Jia Huan's sacrificial text was sent by the black-clothed Crescent Guard, the spy agency of the Zhou army, and at the same time, it was also spread to all parts of the Western Regions along with the business travels that arrived in Dunhuang. As a result, this long song, which is full of appeal and romanticism, has been widely sung and known.

On the other hand, during the truce, the governor's palace began to reorganize the army, tuntian, and establish a government office. Among them, the task of reorganizing the army is the most important thing.

When Qi Chi went out of Beijing, he added the idea of recruiting 50,000 Han soldiers to be used as auxiliaries and second-line battlefields. Instead of riding Hu, avoid the defeat of Niu Jizong. Now that there is a truce, the Beijing battalion and the existing elite troops need to be supplemented, reorganized, and trained.

The entire army of the Western Expedition will be maintained at the size of 150,000 troops. This far exceeded the garrison scale of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate (24,000 people) and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. Recruitment of new recruits is also ongoing.

This long song, which is gorgeous, catchy, loyal and makes the listeners feel bloody, was widely publicized by the Great Zhou government and the army as a song for recruiting new troops.

In Dunhuang City, the newly appointed Shazhou Mansion General Judge (Zheng Liupin) Wang Luan, the newly appointed political secretary of the Western Regions, had a drink with Jia Huan in the Guiyuan Building on the morning of the day of rest.

Listening to the singing voices of the young people outside the building, Wang Lan said with a smile: "Ziyu is a long song, and the Western Regions sing it all over." My generation listened with enthusiasm. A masterpiece! ”

Jia Huan smiled and stretched his body, very comfortable, "Senior Wang praised falsely." ”

Recently, there was a truce in the Western Regions, but as a staff member of the Governor's Palace, his work became more and more busy.

The work of the Governor's Office during this period of time was: reorganizing the army, tuntian, and administering the government. That's the general formulation. Subdivided, it is very cumbersome. The staff and officials of the entire Governor's Palace, as well as hundreds of officials of the Western Regions, were busy.

As far as Jia Huan is concerned, his responsibilities are mainly in charge of the distribution of bereavement pensions in the army, the propaganda of land and military policies, and the external propaganda work of the black-clothed crescent guards in the army. Yang Wei recognized his ability. Ask him to consult.

Wang Lan smiled slightly, raised his glass and gestured to Jia Huan. Recently, the official has been promoted to a higher level, and his heart is happy, and the move of his political alliance with Jia Huan is really correct. A cup of warm wine went down, pointed to the overcast weather outside the sky, and said with a smile: "The cold winter has arrived, and the trend of the Western Regions will become the attack of the national dynasty, and Hu cavalry will defend it." The governor of Qi is tough on Hu, I am afraid that Hu Er will take advantage of it, Ziyu is responsible for public opinion, and the responsibility is heavy! ”

Governor Qi is indeed a capable minister of governance! The affairs of governance are well organized. Ziyu is a caring person, and if he can do things in his shogunate, he is afraid that he will learn a lot of things, and it will be of great benefit to him in the future!

Jia Huan took a sip of wine and nodded: "I have cooperated with King Hu Qian, the Guo family, and the Han family to establish the Western Regions Daily. to set the record straight. The first edition will be published in the near future, and when the time comes, I will also ask Senior Wang to give me an article. ”

Wang Lan smiled heartily, "Naturally, there is no problem." ”

After Jia Huan finished the draft, he sighed: "I have been in charge of the propaganda work of recruiting the new army recently, and many of the Chinese Yueshi, Tuyuhun, and Qiang people are willing to join the army. It's a pity to give up these high-quality soldiers. Moreover, there were not enough Han people in Dunhuang and Guazhou, and it was difficult to recruit 50,000 new troops. The debate between Hu and Han also has detailed distinctions and expositions. When it is like Han Tang. ”

Although he was not in his position, he had been thinking about the issue of "insufficient soldiers and naturalizing the Hu people" for a long time.

The solution exists. In the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the important minister of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Jin Riyan, was the prince of Xiutu and was captured to Chang'an. Many famous generals during the Tang Xuanzong period were all Hu people. For example, Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi.

Any powerful dynasty or empire, in its heyday, is the inevitable way to embrace all rivers. For example, in the early days of the Ming Empire, there were Mongolian cavalry under the command of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. Under the command of the famous general Li Chengliang, there were also Jurchens who fought for him.

Strengthening cultural and ideological education so that they identify with the Han civilization is the focus of naturalization work. To put it bluntly, brainwashing is needed. Otherwise, the Hu people recruited are An Lushan and Nurhachi. But it's a long-term job. What in the short term?

Unite all the forces that can be united to defeat the great enemy in the Western Regions and Mobei: the Ancient Department of Baye. So, what forces can be united?

In the words of the chairman: Whoever stands on the side of the revolutionary people is a revolutionary. Whoever stands on the side of imperialism, feudalism, bureaucracy, capitalism, is the *** faction. Whoever speaks in front of the revolutionary and in action is the same, he is a verbal revolutionary, if not only in words but also in action on the side of the revolutionary people, he is a complete revolutionary!

The Chair was very thorough.

Anyone who stands on the side of the Zhou Dynasty is a force that can be united! Those verbal revolutionaries, or centrists, realists, and wall-riding factions, are to be vigilant, but they can be united. Those who stand on the side of the ancient tribe of Baye are to be attacked and destroyed.

After the great enemy has been eliminated, in the army, the adjustment must be adjusted, and the rectification must be rectified. It must be avoided that the imperial court will not be able to command the army. It must be avoided that the local armed secession!

Wang Lan smiled and nodded, agreeing: "This is indeed a very urgent problem!" ”

He knew the reason why Jia Huan told him about this, and when he turned back to public opinion, he needed his voice to support him. With Jia Huan's current status in the Western Regions, he is the leader of the literary world. Dunhuang, Guazhou and other places admired by Shilin. But it takes a response. And he, the Hanlin Bachelor, is undoubtedly a very heavy candidate.

Jia Huan and Wang Lan talked in detail. Outside the restaurant, a crystal white snowflake fell from the sky. In the eighteenth year of Yongzhi, the first snow fell in the Western Regions!

…

…

In the small hall at the staircase on the third floor of the Guiyuan Building, the fire is blazing. Warm as spring. Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi and Huang Qian will be waiting here with their accompanying families. Lou Leng, a merchant in Chang'an, was flattering Qian Huai and talking.

At the end of September, the Governor of Qi gave Jia Huan a portion of the human trafficking: 5,000 people. 5% share. Personally, it's not small. This is a reward for Jia Huan's merits. There is a famous saying in officialdom that you can be an official for thousands of miles just for money. Qi Chi is encircling Jia Huan.

Jia Huan did not move in the slightest against the background of the collective promotion of civil and military officials in the Western Regions. Even, Jia Huan's name did not appear in the paperwork of Bao Jie. This tacit understanding is because the Son of Yongzhi doesn't like him.

But the Governor of Qi couldn't pretend that he didn't see it, and distributed some economic benefits to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan changed hands and distributed this part of the share to the Guo family and Lou Leng, and only received a friendship price of 8,000 taels. On the one hand, he had some cleanliness in business and did not want to run the slave trade. On the other hand, he also needs to distribute benefits to the people around him.

Lou Leng was 25 years old at the time, holding charcoal, and said with a smile: "I found some good things yesterday, and I went back to invite Master Qian to my house to have a look." What did you come to me for today? ”

Qian Huai smiled and said, "What good things?" Isn't it orchids. Now the government encourages childbearing. But I am the eldest son of the Qian family, and I don't want to give birth to a son of Hu'er blood in the Western Regions. Kill Hu Ling, you know? Now the government is only in Dunhuang and Guazhou, even if someone kills Hu, it is difficult to receive a reward. ”

Qian Huai said half and left half.

Lou Leng was extremely flexible in his mind and somewhat understood. Senator Jia wanted him to act as a middleman.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, but it was Han Wugong's father, the head of the Han family, and Guo Lun who came with their third son, Guo Guan.

The cold wind outside the door blew in, and the things that Jia Huan needed to talk about were hidden in the snowflakes.

…

…

When it snowed heavily in Dunhuang, in the city of Hami, the alliance army of the ancient tribe of Baye was licking their wounds. Under the defeat, internal contradictions loomed.
