Rubbing his temples, Liu Che smiled at Wei Shang and said, "Meng Shugong, please continue to ......"

Wei Shang nodded, and then said: "And between the Xiongnu tribes and Shan Yuting, there are distant and close relatives, and the ministers of the Zuoxian King do not understand, nor have they been in contact, and they do not praise the ......judgment."

"However, the ministers of the following departments below the right virtuous king in the south of the curtain are still a little bit known."

Wei Shang stood up and walked over to the old-fashioned wooden map that hung above the palace wall.

This map is the distribution map of the Xiongnu tribes depicted by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen in the fourteenth year of his return from the Han envoy who sent the Xiongnu to China.

For a long time, this map was hung in the Ganquan Palace, as a way for the emperor of the Han dynasty to inspire himself not to forget the revenge of the shame.

"The Kun Evil Department, also known as the Muddy Evil Department, is the first of the righteous canals! His Majesty can summon the grandson of Da Honglu Kunxi, and when he asks, he will know that as far as the old minister knows, Da Honglu's grandfather was the son of the Yiqu tribe and went to China due to civil strife! (Note 1)

Listening to Wei Shang's words, Liu Che was also stunned.

Yiqu?

Of course, Liu Che is no stranger to this nation, speaking of which, some areas of today's Beidi and Dai County and Shangjun were the territory of the Yiqu people in the early and middle Warring States period.

King Qin Zhao even had to rely on Yiqu's troops to stabilize his power.

But this tribe has long dissipated in the smoke and clouds of history.

Up to now, the only impression left by the Yiqu tribe on Liu Che is probably that Gongsun Kunxie father and son.

But Liu Che didn't expect that Gongsun Kunxi's father and son would have such a relationship with the Kunxie tribe of the Xiongnu.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Che slapped his thigh. muttered: "Gongsun Kunxi, Kunxi." Kun Xie, I should have thought of it a long time ago! ”

At this time. After the nobles of the northern nomads were sinicized or converted, they would use the clan name as their surname or first name.

For example, the famous Kim Il Pan is the symbol of the Hutu tribe, Jin as the surname.

If it was the Kun Evil Clan, Liu Che might not even be able to understand the past, present, and future of this tribe.

But as soon as Wei Shang said Yiqu, Liu Che knew that he would immediately be able to figure out the past and present life of this tribe, as well as the social atmosphere and living customs. The way power is passed on.

Because in the Shiqu Pavilion, there are at least hundreds of volumes of Yiqu clan materials recorded by the Qin people.

These materials are very detailed, almost no details, and there are even a lot of them, which were originally written down by Yiqu people after they became officials in the Qin court.

"As for the ...... of Xiu Tu" Wei Shang's brows furrowed, as if this question was a little difficult to answer, and after a long time, he said: "The Xiu Tu tribe, the old minister really doesn't know its origin. But there is one thing that can be concluded that this clan is not a Xiongnu race, nor is it a genus of ghosts and dogs that have been seen in Chinese history books in the past. It is said that its ancestors surrendered to the Xiongnu for Maudun after being defeated from the west. Mao Dun moved his clan to Hexi, and his race was mostly white-skinned and brown-eyed. He is long and strong, and likes to worship his ancestors with gold and red gold. Legend has it that his clan cast a golden man to worship ancestors...... In the eyes of the old minister, the Hutu tribe should be similar to the Bai Di seen by the former Zuo Chuan......"

Liu Che listened and nodded slightly.

The history of Caucasians in China is a tragedy!

Many people may not know or know that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were Caucasian people who invaded China along with other Yidi.

At that time, the Zhou family moved eastward, and the Zhou Dynasty couldn't even protect itself, and in the hinterland of China, the demons danced wildly, and the princes of various countries even went out to the land of Yidi.

Turning over the left pass, you can see countless strange Yidi people.

Among them, the probability of Bai Di's group leaving the country is very high.

Even, in the end, the Bai Di people established their own regime after naturalization in China, which was the Zhongshan Kingdom.

It's just that the so-called Bai Di at that time was actually completely sinicized.

As for the Hutu tribe, Liu Che remembered that there were a large number of historical records in later generations that proved that this tribe was indeed Caucasians.

The Later Zhao regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period was established by the descendants of the Kunxi tribe.

However, no matter how much these white people stirred up the storm, in the end, they were completely silent in the long river of history.

"As for Lou Fu and Bai Yang, it was recorded during the Warring States Period of these two clans, and Li Mu and Meng Tian also fought with them!" Wei Shang touched his beard and said, "From what the old minister can see, the habits of these two clans are mostly from the Dog Rong and the Qiang genus, and they are the most vulgar and barbaric, cruel and tyrannical!" ”

Liu Che knew about this.

When the army of Zhao opened up the Hetao and marched to Yinshan, it fought against these tribes more than once.

Bai Yang, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu are the alien races that appear the most in the history books of the Zhao Kingdom.

At that time, the Xiongnu, compared with these tribes, were nothing more than a war scum.

"The Lou Fu tribe and the Aries tribe, as the old minister knows, are the tribes of the Huns who took the initiative to attach themselves to the Xiongnu after the Mao Dun raised troops, so the successive dynasties have to be single in the court, entrusted with important tasks, and even allowed the vast pastures from Henan to Hexi, and its Aries King was once called the Henan Aries King!"

"And the Xiu Tu Kun evil person, in the status of the Huns, is not as annoying as the Aries Building, but because of the large number of livestock in the tribe, it should not be underestimated!" Wei Shang talked eloquently, coming, he seemed to remember something, and said solemnly to Liu Che: "If one day, the national dynasty uses troops in the north, in addition to the four tribes of Xiu Tu Kun evil Aries Lou, Your Majesty also needs to be careful in the three hundred miles west of the Rouge Mountain, this tribe, to the old minister understands, has been suffering from the Huns for a long time, Mao Dun reigned, can not be controlled, until the old Shangshan Yu ascended the throne, mobilized a large army to attack the Yue clan in the west, so that it surrendered, the old Shang was afraid of calling for disaster, so he ordered the second son, the number is' This is the only time that the Huns, after conquering the enemy, abolished their royal family, and used the example of the descendants alone! ”

Hearing this, Liu Che also nodded and said, "Meng Shugong, I remember!" ”

Wujie is a tribe, Liu Che is no stranger.

Nearly thirty years ago, that is, the year after the end of the Han-Hungarian Henan War, the old Shangshan Yu of the Xiongnu wrote a letter of state that looked gentle and humble, but was actually murderous.

In that letter of state, the old man proudly boasted to the Han family about his martial arts: with the blessing of heaven, the officials are good, and the horses are strong. To destroy the Yueshi clan, kill and descend. Dingwusun, Hujie, Loulan and the twenty-six countries next to them, the people of the bow. And for a family.

Being able to be juxtaposed by Lao Shangshan Yu with the two powerful countries of Wusun and Loulan, instead of being classified into the 'Twenty-six Countries Next to it', the power of the Hujie clan will not be far behind.

Not to mention the tribes that can make people like Lao Shang feel tricky and difficult to deal with, and must use their own sons to govern and restrain them.

I'm afraid it's not a good person.

Perhaps, it is a barbarian tribe that is more terrifying than the headhunters.

And what Liu Che doesn't know is. This Hujie clan is even more fierce than he imagined.

In history, the Xiongnu appeared in the later period of the situation of five singles standing side by side.

And King Hujie is one of these five singles.

But he didn't know, so he just wrote it down in his heart.

At this time, Wei Shang walked back to his seat, and with the support of his attendants, he slowly sat down and said to Liu Che: "As for the relationship between the Xiongnu tribes that Your Majesty asked, the old minister knows. It's not a lot, I just know that there are two factions in the Xiongnu Kingdom. The southern tribes who advocated the southward invasion of the Han Dynasty and the northern tribes who advocated westward expansion have struggled with each other for decades. Before the age of three, the military minister Shan Yu staged a coup d'état. Bloodbathed the Makunan faction and killed its leader, King Youxian. A large number of nobles and generals who were close to King Youxian were exiled and exiled, and because they killed too much, they were dissatisfied with the nobles in the country, such as the Lan clan, the Xubu clan and the Huyan clan, so the military ministers had to appoint Yizhi Xian, the son of King Youxian, as the king of Richai! ”

"The military ministers even killed the Right Xian King, how many nobles will they be afraid of?" Liu Che asked with some suspicion.

The Huns of the Xu Bu clan and the Huyan clan, Liu Che has seen them, and it is no big deal.

Wei Shang smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, in the Xiongnu Kingdom, in addition to the left and right Xian Wang, the left and right Gu Li Wang, the rest of the official positions, such as the left and right generals, the left and right big households, the left and right bone marquis, generations are all from the three surnames of Xubu, Lan and Huyan, the power of these three surnames is no less than the Xulu clan, and its clans are scattered in all the departments of the Xiongnu, the world is a nobleman, and the power is in charge, even if it is Shanyu, it is also necessary to consider the position of these three surnames!" ”

Of course, Liu Che knew who it was.

The royal family of the Xiongnu, in the family alone, is surnamed Yu.

After listening to Wei Shang's description, Liu Che already had a rough idea of the power structure of the Xiongnu.

To put it simply, the Xiongnu was not so much an empire of tribal federations as a complex of interests of a tribal federation.

The relationship between Shan Yuting and the other tribes below it was not so much a monarch as a relationship between the boss and the younger brother.

This loose imperial system was united to Shan Yuting's side only through the powerful army of the Xiongnu and the prestige of Mao Dun since his old age.

It seems that Shan Yu is known as 'born of heaven and earth, placed by the sun and the moon', but in fact, the throne of Shan Yu is built on the sand dunes.

Loose alliances, unusually fragile.

In order to maintain his dominance, Shan Yuting also expropriated the tribes below.

To use a Chinese idiom to describe the situation of the Xiongnu Empire at this moment, that is: the world has suffered for a long time!

As long as someone stands up and raises the banner of anti-Huns.

Liu Che believes that there will be countless responders.

Historically, when the Han army marched north, countless young people from various tribes in the Xiongnu country rushed to join the Han army with their own dry food and equipment.

Even, there are examples of people coming to vote.

It can only be said that the level of civilization of the Huns is too low, and the cohesion and assimilation ability are so bad that they can't be worse!

This is going to change China, let alone sixty years, twenty years can make all the tribes of the entire grassland convinced that they are the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, the Qingyang clan or something.

But what about the Huns?

Sixty years of hegemony in the steppe, but not a single tribe has been assimilated.

Even the beliefs and customs of the various tribes are very different.

But......

This is a good thing for Liu Che!

If the Xiongnu really have that assimilation ability, it will be bad for Liu Che.

"Do I want to add some medicine to the Huns?" Liu Che pondered in his heart.

Now, it is obviously stupid to go directly to the Huns to face each other.

However, proxy wars or something, you might as well play with them.

Especially now the Huns and Wusun people are fighting bulls in the west.

Although the Han dynasty could not directly support the great movement of the Wusun people against the tyranny of the Xiongnu, there were still middlemen......

For example. Where did the news of the war between Wusun and the Xiongnu come from?

Liu Che wouldn't believe that it was Lu Itzhi, the king of Donghu, who came to investigate.

Lu Tazhi must have this ability. It will not make history, and flee back to the Great Wall in embarrassment. Go back to Chang'an and sit up as a rich man.

Then the only possibility is that someone wants to use this to tempt the Han family to end and stab the military minister in the back.

There is only one person who can have this motive and this ability at the same time: Yi Zhixian.

Thinking of this, Liu Che asked Wei Shang: "Meng Shugong, I remember that I once issued an edict last year, asking Yunzhong County to exchange the ordnance from the county. Unified confiscation, classified into the arsenal, I don't know, those things are still there today? ”

Yunzhong County was the first border county in the Han Dynasty to be fully iron-equipped.

Due to the change of clothes, a large number of bronze weapons and old equipment have been eliminated in the county.

These obsolete equipment, according to Liu Che's intentions, are to be allocated to the militia and the township pavilion armed forces in the county.

But even so, the amount of this equipment is still not fully digestible.

So, Liu Che ordered. Let Yunzhong County collect and store those discarded equipment in the county's arsenal.

Originally, Liu Che's plan was to melt into farming tools or utensils.

But that way. Undoubtedly at a loss.

As a qualified ruler, Liu Che obviously couldn't accept such a situation.

Now, Liu Che suddenly thought of it. These things, there is still a place to go - to sell them to the Huns.

Especially to sell to Yi Zhi and his friends.

Since ancient times. The profits of arms far exceed those of all other businesses.

"Back to Your Majesty. Those ordnances, according to the decree, except for those issued to the county township pavilion for training the people, the rest have been stored in the arsenal, including two thousand halberds, five hundred spears, eight hundred crossbows, and one hundred hard bows......" Wei Shang replied after thinking about it.

"Yi Zong......" Liu Che squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at Yi Zong, who had been a good student next to him, and ordered: "When you return to the clouds, go and contact the Xiongnu, tell them, you want to sell them a batch of weapons, let them make a price, the armaments in the arsenal in the clouds, except for the crossbow machine, the rest, the Huns can sell whatever they want, I can accept slaves, gold, war horses, cattle, sheep and livestock all kinds of payment methods......"

Originally, Liu Che even wanted to sell the crossbow machine.

After all, the crossbow machine made by the Han family is a very sophisticated high-tech weapon.

This bronze crossbow machine, which has been inherited from the Qin Dynasty to the peak, has strong adaptability and resistance to operation.

Its various parts are even fully interoperable.

That is to say, even if the Huns got the crossbow machine of the Han family, there was no way to copy it.

Because he wanted to produce this kind of crossbow machine, the Xiongnu needed a high-precision manufacturing organization headed by Shaofu, and at the same time, he also needed a group of Mohist scholars to study and analyze the characteristics of bronze materials for him, and then he also needed a group of Legalist officials to promote the system of material names and strict quality requirements for it.

These requirements are indispensable.

It's just that Liu Che can't sell it.

Because, no one will care about selling halberds, spears or whatnot, but if you sell crossbow machines to the Huns.

Once someone finds out something, there are some clues.

That government and opposition public opinion can spray Liu Che to death.

Crossbows in China belong to strictly controlled weapons and equipment, especially military crossbows, and each military crossbow will be registered after it is manufactured.

In peacetime, hundreds of military crossbows disappeared at once, and without even thinking about it, they could immediately make the people of the Imperial Doctor's Yamen beat the chickens. (To be continued......)

PS: I plunged into the pile of old papers, checked for a long time, and finally found the exact records and evidence about the origin and origin of the Xiongnu tribe. Uncle's, dazzled~ Note 1: Kun evil is the righteous canal, which is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the historical records or the Han book, the exact evidence and answers have been given, and this matter has been mentioned more than once, especially in the "Xiongnu Biography" of the Han Book and the "County Chronicles" of the Later Han Book, direct evidence is given. The Hutu tribe is characteristic of the Caucasian race, and the historical records do not say it in detail, but the unearthed cultural relics confirm this fact. For example, in 1972 in Gansu found Wang Zhenbao's epitaph, its burial book and epitaph on the tombstone, the exact and undoubted Western Han Dynasty - two Jin Dynasty and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the history of the changes of the Xiutu people depicted, there are interested comrades can search, very interesting, Caucasian people think that they are the Yellow Emperor, the descendants of Houji, I am so happy to see
