Chapter 700: The Lord of the Hundred Tribes

Gongsun Qi did come to the Western Regions with a mission.

There is only one task: to reshape the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

This is definitely not a smile to the sky.

On the bright side, the reshaping of the Western Regions Protectorate is extremely beneficial to the imperial court and the Wuhou Mansion, and if it is successful, it is second only to the merit of opening up the territory at the imperial court level.

In reality, it is to ensure the interests of the Kunlun faction in the Western Regions.

The Kunlun faction has too many places to spend money, and if there is no entry from the Western Regions, how can the number of Kunlun factions increase dramatically in a short period of time.

It's just that...... The task of rebuilding the Western Regions Protectorate is too difficult.

First of all, let's talk about the original responsibilities of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Guarding the border and securing the land is fundamental.

In addition, it has the role of coordinating the contradictions and disputes between the countries in the Western Regions, stopping the intrusion of foreign forces, maintaining the local social order in the Western Regions, and ensuring the smooth trade routes of the imperial court in the Western Regions.

Don't look at the official position of the protector of the Western Regions, which is only the rank of the fourth grade, but he has the power to control all the officials who have been canonized by the imperial court in the Western Regions.

Before the Wu Dynasty, the Central Plains Imperial Court had a tradition of canonizing the states of the Western Regions, and no matter how the dynasty changed, all successors would recognize the canonization of the previous dynasty and retain the tradition.

This is a kind of manifestation of jurisdiction, and it is also a kind of favor.

The countries of the Western Regions all wore the Central Plains seals.

These were all under the management of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and at their peak, they could even gather troops from various countries in the Western Regions to help the Central Plains Imperial Court fight in all directions.

Gongsun Qi's task was to bring the Western Regions Protectorate back to his original position.

But to do this, non-force can be done.

Over the years, Gongsun Qi had to deal with the encroachment from within the former Western Regions Protectorate on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to have good relations with various countries and ethnic groups.

To put it bluntly, it is to erect people's hopes, at least to be familiar.

However, the land of the Western Regions is vast, and there will always be places that are not available, such as the former Ghost Moon Clan.

It's night!

Gongsun Qi looked hesitant.

Zhang Momo had already guessed the reason, Gongsun Qi did not hide it from her, and Zhang Momo also read the letter sent by Kunlun.

"Husband... Husband. ”

Zhang Momo called softly, thinking that he was still a little unaccustomed to the salutation, and he stumbled.

Gongsun turned his head, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "After a few days of tiring, the patriarch should go to rest first, and I will come after I have sorted things out." ”

With a slightly red face, Zhang Momo said quietly: "Since you and I are already husband and wife, we are one, if my husband has any troubles, I should share my husband's worries." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Qi nodded movingly and beckoned Zhang Momo to come over.

The two sat side by side, and Gongsun Qi said his troubles:

"Now there are two armies of Wusun and Baiguo divided into east and west, and the turtles are eyeing each other, and the Dayue clan is an unstable variable, the land of the hundred tribes...... Alas!"

Listening to Gongsun Qi's sigh, Zhang Momo was a person who had been a patriarch, so he naturally had some knowledge, so he said:

"The husband is worried that once the land of the hundred tribes is lost, no matter who it falls into, it will form a strong force to unify the Western Regions, right?"

Gongsun Qi nodded with a wry smile, if he lost this, Gongsun Qi could only go back to Kunlun Mountain in a gloomy manner.

He is not afraid of the jokes of his brothers, but he has the trust of his master, which is difficult for Gongsun Qi to accept.

Listening, Zhang Momo said with relief: "Husband, you don't need to be too anxious, you must know that the land of the hundred tribes used to have a master. ”

At first hearing this, Gongsun Qi was a little surprised, he had been in the Western Regions for a long time, but he didn't know that there was such a thing.

"Momo, tell me more about it. Gongsun asked in a busy voice.

followed, Zhang Momo told her what she knew.

The land of the hundred tribes was not a scattered sand before the earliest.

There is also a powerful country there, the surname of the lord of the country is Bai Minggui, the Central Plains people's clan, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he is a wealthy merchant in the Central Plains!

Honored as Shang Zu!

It was such a merchant who, relying on his extraordinary business talent, took the land of the hundred tribes into his hands and established a powerful white country.

"Bai Guo?" Gongsun Qi was a little curious, isn't this the same name?

Zhang Momo smiled slightly and said softly:

"Back then, Bai Gui had eight important ministers, which were the eight clans of today's Great White Kingdom, and you can tell from the surnames of the eight clans that each clan was responsible for what they were responsible for back then. ”

After recalling the Eight Clans, Gongsun Qi asked:

"In this way, the Great White Kingdom is the legitimate heir of the land of the hundred tribes?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Momo sneered: "There were no hundred clans in the land of the hundred clans, and then there were successive clans joining in, and my ghost moon clan was the latecomer, but at the beginning, there were thirty-six clans, also known as the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. ”

Gongsun Qi knew about this, he just didn't understand what was the point of Zhang Momo saying this at this time?

Seeing that, Zhang Momo's face changed, he became naughty, and said:

"Husband, do you want to guess where the original thirty-six clans came from?"

Surprised!

Gongsun Qi said loudly: "Is it difficult that these thirty-six clans are also the retainers of the Baigui family at the beginning?"

"No!" Zhang Momo opened his mouth to deny, but he stared at Gongsun Qi, and said word by word:

"They are the descendants of Bai Gui!"

......

According to legend, there are thirty-six concubines in the Baigui harem, who are the daughters of the patriarchs of the thirty-six clans.

Later, the thirty-six concubines gave birth to thirty-six sons, and were named the patriarchs of the thirty-six clans.

It is the true master of the land of all races.

......

After listening to Zhang Momo's narration, Gongsun Qi was still a little confused, and asked:

"What do you mean by Momo, let me subdue these thirty-six clans?"

Tilting his head and smiling, Zhang Momolang said:

"The life of my hundred tribes is suffering, long in tearing and killing, the temperament is the most rebellious, that is, temporary submission, and it is inevitable that there will be no day of deviation. ”

Gongsun Qi was completely stunned, he really had no experience in this area, and his master didn't teach him!

Seeing that, Zhang Momo smiled mysteriously and asked softly:

"Who does the husband think is the master of the land of the hundred tribes?"

was stunned again, Gongsun Qi didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Momo's words, isn't it obvious?

But Zhang Momo asked like this, there must be a reason.

Gongsun Qi was pondering, and Wen Feng next to him couldn't wait to interject:

"Miss Zhang...... Brother and sister, now that your eyebrows are burning, don't sell them. ”

Thinking that it was a younger brother and sister, Zhang Momo was very useful, so he stood up, pointed in all directions, and said loudly:

"Everyone thinks that the thirty-six clans are the lords of the hundred clans, but they forgot what was the surname of the lord of the Bai country back then?!"

Standing up suddenly, Gongsun Qi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked loudly:

"Momo, is it difficult that Bai Gui still has direct descendants alive?"

Zhang Momo turned around, a pair of eyes smiled like a crescent moon, but he smiled without showing his teeth, and said mysteriously:

"I don't know if Bai Gui has any descendants, I only know that Shang Zu Bai Gui is from the Central Plains, and the Bai family is a wealthy merchant in the Central Plains. ”

Gongsun Qi reacted very quickly, but he felt that there was any obstacle and did not figure it out, so he tried to ask:

"Is there anyone else in the Bai family in the Central Plains?"
