Section 778 The ambition of the Xianbei people
After nearly seven months, Zhang Weiyang came to the foot of Xianbei Mountain again.
The last time I came here, Zhang Weiyang was coerced and even kidnapped.
Therefore, I was very apprehensive, and I didn't have time to carefully observe the nearby geography.
But, this time is different.
The Xianbei people welcomed the arrival of Zhang Weiyang, an 'old friend', very much, and even cavalry came to greet Zhang Weiyang when he just stepped into the Xianbei realm.
It's just that, looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Weiyang couldn't be happy.
The last time I came to Xianbei Mountain, it was still winter, and the snow was falling heavily, and the whole world was buried in a thick layer of snow.
But when Zhang Weiyang came again this time, it was the height of summer, and the mountains were full of flowers.
At the foot of the mountains, in the plains, and on the banks of the rivers, there are many lands criss-crossed, which have been reclaimed and demarcated.
Countless slaves, unclothed, at most wearing straw skirts and animal skins, were driven by some Xianbei people to work in these lands.
Due to the recent increase in trade between Huaihua and Xianbei and Wuheng, Zhang Weiyang saw a lot of farm tools in these lands.
For example, the bronze rake and bronze rake have now been gradually eliminated from the mainstream agricultural tools in China, and when today's Zi strongly admires and encourages the common people to use iron tools, he has repeatedly issued edicts saying: "I Jia is a tool for evil gold."
The so-called evil gold is the scientific name of iron, and the corresponding is the bronze ware of the former king, called US dollar.
With the encouragement of the Son of Heaven, the iron tools were indeed stronger and more durable than the old bronze farming tools, and of course, most importantly, cheaper.
As a result, in many parts of China, a large number of bronze farm implements have been eliminated.
These obsolete bronze agricultural tools are in Chinese mainland. Those who can afford them are not willing to use them, and those who are willing to use them cannot afford them......
As a result, these obsolete products were all transported by merchants across the border.
It was sold to Nanyue, Minyue and even the Xiongnu.
As long as someone needs them. And the price can be afforded.
Merchants don't care, where are these customers and who are they?
"Shang Jia is really all five beetles, and they can all be killed!" Zhang Weiyang looked at this situation, and his feelings about Shangjia in his heart couldn't help but fall countless levels.
As a soldier, Zhang Weiyang is very clear.
Iron weapons can kill, and bronze weapons can kill people as well.
Outside of China, among Yidi.
These potential enemies against the Chinese army. The biggest threat now is their bows.
The bronze arrowhead is the best arrow used by the Yidi, and it is also the greatest threat to the Han soldiers.
In other words, these merchants exported the bronzes to Yidi.
In the future, most likely, let Yidi. Using these bronzes, they were recast into arrowheads. In turn, strike at the Han army and cause casualties among comrades!
It's just that Zhang Weiyang knows very well that this kind of exporting bronzes is not something that he can stop with such a small team.
Even. Even the governor may not be able to do anything!
In this transaction, not only merchants are involved, but also some nobles loom in it.
"Emissary, my lord. Greeting the messenger in the stone chamber......"
After Zhang Weiyang looked at these 'well fields' for a while, a Xianbei nobleman came to greet him.
When Zhang Weiyang heard this, he nodded, and secretly wrote down what he saw and heard in his heart.
Zhang Weiyang has an intuition that this Xianbei person may become a hidden danger in Huaihua in the future.
Following the Xianbei nobleman, Zhang Weiyang walked up Xianbei Mountain again, and then was taken to a stone room.
In front of the door of the stone room, Zhang Weiyang saw a terrifying thing.
The heads of several men, apparently Xianbei, were hung in front of the door of the cave.
Although their flesh and blood have been dried, the hairstyle on their heads undoubtedly tells Zhang Weiyang that they are Xianbei people, and they are Xianbei nobles.
"These are bald-haired and humble ****, vainly trying to challenge the authority of adults, so they are punished by adults, so that their souls, eternal and eternal, will wail in hell and not return to the arms of the ancestral gods!" The nobleman who greeted Zhang Weiyang saw Zhang Weiyang's surprised look, so he explained triumphantly.
For him, perhaps, this was a good opportunity to promote his LinkedIn and powerful in front of the envoys of the Han Dynasty.
However, when Zhang Weiyang heard this, his heart was rolling like a river and a sea.
He remembered that someone in these heads had met him when he came with Xu Jian last year.
"He's a bald-haired Xianbei adult...... Zhang Weiyang immediately found out from his memory the appearance of the Xianbei chief who seemed to be equal to Qiu Ke at the beginning.
"Was he killed?" Zhang Weiyang thought in his heart.
If this is true, Zhang Weiyang knows that Xianbei may not become a hidden danger, but will definitely become a hidden danger.
The 'Mad King' Qiu Kegu is walking on the path that the ancestors of Zhuxia once walked.
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor first killed Chi You, and then defeated Emperor Yan, so he unified Zhuxia and became the ancestor.
…………………………
Qiu Kegu, the current mood is very good.
He took the brand-new Analects in his hand and looked at it with fascination.
"Micro Tube Zhong, I was sent to the left!" He exclaimed, "Every time I read the Master's teachings, I can be inspired by them in a new way!" ”
Who is Guan Zhong? Qiu Kegu had probably heard of it.
It is said that he was a famous minister of a country in ancient Han Dynasty, and he assisted the monarch of the then overlord Qi State, united the princes, cleared the threat of Yidi, and rebuilt the status of China and the self-confidence of Zhuxia.
"I am now, probably similar to Guan Zhong's situation, Black Mountain Xianbei and Bald Xianbei, have surrendered, just like Guan Zhong defeated the Chu State and subdued the Jin State, next, I will be the prince of Jiuhe, a Kuang world, so that all Xianbei tribes will obey my orders!"
In the territory of two thousand miles near Xianbei Mountain, in addition to Xianbei and Wuheng, there are also many wild Xianbei and Wuheng.
These tribes are the losers of the internal struggles of Xianbei and Wuheng in the past, and the descendants of criminals who were expelled.
Qiu Kegu believes that as long as these scattered wild Xianbei scattered in the vast mountains can be recovered, Ye Wuheng and even Ding Lingren and the rest of the Buyeong. Then his strength will naturally become stronger, and at that time......
"Destroy Wuheng first......" His eyes looked into the distance: "Kill the Huns again......"
"In the future, maybe I can't go to Chang'an and ask the ......importance of Han Ding."
Thinking like this, Qiu Kegu couldn't help but smirk.
But. He knows very well that the current Xianbei, not to mention the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, even Wuheng may not be able to defeat it!
Xianbei people, men, women, and children, all combined, may be about 100,000 people.
And the Han Dynasty had a population of hundreds of thousands just in the territory of the so-called Andong Protectorate.
If you add the subservient tribes of the Haoren, Zhenban, and Korea, it is easy to mobilize an army with more numbers than the Xianbei population!
Moreover, the army of the Han Dynasty. In terms of equipment and quality, it is far stronger than Xianbei!
Even, even the height and physique that Xianbei people used to be proud of are not as good as Han people!
"My lord, the envoy of the Han Dynasty Andong Protector has arrived!"
While Qiu Kegu was thinking, someone approached the stone chamber and said to him.
"Please, please!" Qiu Kegu immediately showed a smile as if he had seen a loved one. Enthusiastically said loudly: "It's fun to have friends from afar!" The Han envoys came from afar. It really makes Xianbei up and down, and it shines brightly! ”
Then, Zhang Weiyang's tall and sturdy body appeared in this stone room.
Qiu Kegu was also stunned the moment he saw this Han envoy.
Zhang Weiyang is not yet 20 years old this year.
But he's grown to eight feet tall!
After coming to Xinhua, good nutrition and regular exercise. Let this thin boy in Handan City in the past have developed into a burly man.
At least, for Xianbei people, who are generally less than seven feet tall, Zhang Weiyang, who is eight feet tall, is already a giant!
What's even more terrifying. In the past six months, his military career and long-term exercise have made Zhang Weiyang's limb muscles become extremely developed.
The armor he wears, to some extent, highlights his height and strength.
"The Han Dynasty seems to be such a strong and tall officer of any officer!" Qiu Kegu looked at Zhang Weiyang's body shape and sighed in his heart.
At this time in China, the best husbands, the best talents, the smartest talents, their first choice, are all enlisted in the army.
From the liehous, down to the powerful landlords and doctors, if their descendants have the conditions to develop into military generals, then the whole family will invest all resources to help him learn martial arts and practice martial arts.
Especially after Liu Che printed the famous works of the military family as cabbage in large quantities and sold them to those noble scholar families.
This situation is even more serious.
As a result, the quality of China's soldiers, especially officers, is the best in the world.
The so-called one Han is five hu.
It's not just the gap in equipment
In this world, the ultimate factor that determines the victory or defeat of a war can only be people, and only people can decide the outcome of a war!
"I am Zhang Weiyang, a lowly general under the command of the governor of the Great Han Andong Metropolitan Protectorate!" As soon as Zhang Weiyang entered the stone room, he puffed up his chest, took out the letter written by Bo Shi himself from his arms, handed it to Qiu Kegu, and said: "On the order of the governor, I came to negotiate with the nobles about one thing......
Qiu Kegu took the letter, and now, Chinese has become the lingua franca of many ethnic groups in the entire northeast, including Wuheng and Xianbei.
The Han Dynasty script was thus spread in this land.
Maybe the slaves of the lower classes, the herdsmen, and even some nobles, will not be able to.
But as the head of the clan, Qiu Kegu is such a character, but he has to immediately keep up with the needs of the situation and learn and master.
Not to mention, Qiu Kegu itself has a certain Han cultural heritage.
So, reading letters and stuff is not difficult for him.
After reading the letter, Qiu Kegu fell into deep thought.
The Governor of the Han Dynasty said politely in his letter, saying, 'If Xianbei can help me today, the next day, there will be a great reward.' ’
But......
The other party's requirements were somewhat beyond Qiu Kegu's acceptance.
The Wusun people are somewhere hundreds of miles away from this Xianbei Mountain.
Of course Qiu Kegu knows.
He has also been trying to find the whereabouts of these Wusun people.
However, he is only doing this for the sake of his own power development.
The Wusun people, Qiu Kegu knows, and knows, that they have superb horse breeding skills and riding skills.
And these two things are what Xianbei needs.
Now, the governor of the Han Dynasty ran over and said two good words, just to snatch away the Wusun people he fancied?
Is this possible?
Qiu Kegu shook his head in his heart!
However, it is not easy to refuse.
The image of the Han people in the hearts of the Xianbei people is that of a short-sighted and short-tempered giant.
In order to stand up for their little brother, they did not hesitate to threaten a strong man like the Huns, force the Huns, and kill his cousin.
It is also possible to launch a large-scale military operation because of the disrespect of the Korean Weiman, and wipe the Korean kingdom off the face of the earth in one fell swoop.
Such a person, for the current Xianbei, can only stammer, and must not be offended!
"Envoy, please rest assured, I know the requirements of the governor of your country, I will immediately send someone to find it, and if I find it, I will definitely tell the governor as soon as possible!" Qiu Kegu said with a smile.
Of course, he was lying.
"Anyway, I'm Yidi, Yidi has no faith and no righteousness, this is what the master said!" Qiu Kegu thought triumphantly in his heart.
"Then trouble the king!" Zhang Weiyang saw that Qiu Kegu agreed very happily, and his feelings were slightly better in his heart.
"The last general has to go to Wuheng once, so I won't bother the king!" Zhang Weiyang bowed and saluted, then said goodbye and left.
After Zhang Weiyang left, Qiu Kegu's face turned white with a brush.
"The people of the Han Dynasty will also contact the Wuheng people?" This news was a nightmare for Qiu Kegu.
Because, Qiu Kegu knew nothing about the thoughts and attitudes of the Wuheng people.
If the Wuheng people helped the Han Dynasty and found the Wusun people, they would send the Wusun people to the side wall of Huaihua.
Isn't he going to be beaten with chickens and eggs?
"What should I do?" Qiu Kegu thought in his heart.
The remnants of Wusun itself, the help to Xianbei, may not be so great.
But the excellent horse breeds they carry are indispensable for the future rise of Xianbei.
"No way!"
"The Wusun people can't be allowed to enter the border walls of the Han Dynasty!"
Once the Wusun people enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, they will be protected by the Han Dynasty people immediately, not to mention Xianbei, even the Huns, I am afraid that they can only look beyond the reach of the dust and regret it.
But Qiu Kegu knew that he had no way to convince his sworn enemy Wu Heng to join forces with him to find the remnants of Wusun and then divide them.
For generations, what the Xianbei people want to do, the Wuheng people will definitely make trouble and destroy.
Vice versa.
Between Wuheng and Xianbei, there is an emotion of 'as long as the other party is not doing well, I am very happy'.
"Since I can't get it, I'll destroy them!" Qiu Kegu thought viciously in his heart.
Then, he ordered: "Come, send a letter to Lord Ben to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting!" ”
The Han Dynasty wanted the Wusun people, right?
Good!
I'll give it to you!
Qiu Kegu smiled strangely.
"Hey...... As long as the Huns and the Han Dynasty fight, then my Xianbei destiny will come! Qiu Kegu thought excitedly.
Qiu Kegu knew very well that once the Xiongnu Shan Yuting knew, the Wusun people fled to the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Then, with the character of the Xiongnu, he will definitely be with the Han Dynasty.
And the people of the Han Dynasty spent so much effort to get the Wusun people, and they will definitely not give up easily.
In this way, the two strongest people in the world will collide directly, and even a full-scale war will break out.
At that time, Xianbei will be able to develop and grow under his leadership and take the opportunity of the great war between the two sides.
Wasn't the rise of the Xiongnu because of the war between Donghu and Yueshi? (To be continued.) )
