Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 189 Is This The Heroes Of The Sui And Tang Dynasties?
In the fourth year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty, in the 22nd year of Tongqing in Khotan, in May 933 AD, Zhang Zhao, who had stayed in Suiye for almost a year, led his army out of Suiye City.

In the past year, Zhang Zhao first defeated the Saman Persian invaders and ascended to the position of Suiyeju'er Khan.

In Suiye City, the political structure of the Suiye Liuhou headed by Guo Xuanqing and the councils of elders in Suiye was established.

He also set up the Western Governor's Mansion and helped Suiye City regain control of the east of Talas.

And when Zhang Zhao, who brought more than 3000 people to support Suiye, left this time, he took a full [-] people with him.

This is not as simple as adding 1000 people, because except for the [-] soldiers who stayed in Suiye, the Khotan palace guards returned to Shule long ago.

In other words, Zhang Zhao's more than [-] troops are all his own troops.

However, the organization remained the same, the troops were still called Fengtian Army, and the Fengtian Battalion basically did not change much. Zhang Zhao only absorbed more than [-] warriors from around Suiye City and entered Regret Mountain Capital.

Another battalion of the Fengtian Army, the Feng'en Camp, was disbanded because Li Shengtian recalled the Khotan Palace Guard.

The one who made up for this battalion gap was the new battalion leader Zhang Zhao formed and trained in Suiye, mainly the Guo family’s children, Bao Daying.

Yan Jin was promoted smoothly, and was thrown by Zhang Zhao to Bao Daying to serve as the battalion officer Youdu Yuhou, and his position as a lieutenant of the infantry in Regret Shandu was taken over by Fanquan.

Bao Daying set up Flying Tiger Capital and Iron Horse Capital. The former is horse-riding heavy infantry, mainly the children of the Guo family, but it is controlled by Yan Jin as the captain.

The latter is called Iron Horse Capital, but in fact it is dominated by cavalry archers. The heavy armored cavalry has only one general and 100 people, and it is a pseudo-heavy armored cavalry in which horses do not wear armor and people only wear chain mail.

Guo Guang, the son of Guo Xuanli, became the captain, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Zhang Zhao's promise. Although Guo Xuanli was removed, Zhang Zhao did not attack Guo Xuanli's son, but reused it.

And Guo Guangcheng was also different from Guo Guangsheng who was arranged by Zhang Zhao to follow Wu Yuan'er to become a civil official. He actually didn't object to his father's loss of power.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao finally began to establish his own civil service system. Guo Tiance was appointed by Zhang Zhao as his staff officer, and Wu Yuan'er and Zhu Qingquan also got this position.

The more than forty people Yin Yaozi trained in Talas were also included in this system, and they were headed by the secretary Guo Tiance.

The position of staff officer is actually not only available in later generations. This official position was established in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and many kings who were transformed from Jiedu envoys in the Central Plains have also established this official position.

And this staff officer, which means to participate in planning, is very close to the function of later generations, but it is not limited to military affairs, they can also participate in civil decision-making.

"Great Khan! This is the biography of the heroes of this dynasty compiled according to the draft of the Great Khan, please read it!"

Guo Tiance brought over a box full of manuscript paper. These days, the new generation of the Guo family, Qianliju, was exhausted.

Because after Zhang Zhao gave him a story outline, he handed over the editing work to him.

And it's not that the writing is finished, but that Zhang Zhao has to check every plot, and if he feels that the writing is not satisfactory, Zhang Zhao asks him to change it. The repeated revisions for more than a month almost broke Guo Tiance.

What does Zhang Zhao want?He is writing a novel!

This trick was still thought out, and the reason was that Guo Xuanli taught him a good lesson, which made Zhang Zhao realize that it is very difficult for him to pull people back from Anxi and Hezhong.

Because a family like the Guo family that has already gained a certain status in the local area is difficult to pull back.

Although they still retain their traditions, they are almost no different from the locals.

The locals do not discriminate against them. On the contrary, because the Han people are hardworking, willing to work, and value cultural factors, once they stabilize, they will gradually climb to the upper middle class in the local area.

This is inevitable. Different from the impression that all ethnic groups in Anxi and Hezhong will target the Tang people in the imagination of later generations, they are definitely not so idle as to specifically target the Tang people.

Because the whole of Anxi and Hezhong is actually a big place where various ethnic groups meet and blend.

There are white people like the Scythians here, and there are races that both yellow and white races like Uighurs and Ge Luolu have. People who believe in Buddhism, Jesus, the God of Light, and primitive shamanism, all kinds of people are welcome. Have.

In other words, in Anxi and Hezhong in this era, ethnicity and appearance are not a sin, but being weak and unable to protect oneself is an original sin.

Those who can overcome this difficulty, such as the Guo family, will gradually grow stronger. If the Central Plains Dynasty can have soldiers go west to recover Anxi during this time, it is possible to pull them back and become the pillar of the Central Plains Dynasty to control Anxi and Hezhong.

However, if the Central Plains Dynasty cannot come, it will be an inevitable result after dozens or hundreds of years of gradual and complete transformation.

Families that cannot pass this stage, such as the Li family attached to Shule Dayun Temple, will gradually disappear in the long river of history.

This is the biggest difficulty Zhang Zhao faces. If he has a powerful country and military support behind him like Ban Dingyuan, only families like the Guo family can hold his thigh.

But he didn't. His current strength is all due to his own bravery and part of Li Shengtian's banner.

That's why Guo Xuanli thought that he was not wrong, and even felt that he had won a good treatment for Zhang Zhao because he was also a descendant of the Tang Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for the longing of Guo Tiance and others to return to the east when they entered the country, and Guo Xuanqing's dissatisfaction with Guo Xuanli and his ambition to dominate Suiye, they might have really sent it this time, unless Zhang Zhao was willing to mobilize The army washed Suiye City.

And this is why Guo Xuanqing was willing to help Zhang Zhao search for 150,000 sets of iron armor and treasures worth more than [-] guan, and the reason why he agreed with Zhang Zhao to take away the captured Persian army armor, donkeys and horses and other materials.

Guo Xuanqing just knew that Zhang Zhao had no roots, so he waited for Zhang Zhao to leave, so he could only hold the power of Suiye.

Zhang Zhao also simply took away the elite troops and belongings, without any greed for Suiye's power, and he didn't want to make any balance, save some confidantes or something.

Just kidding, Suiye is more than two thousand miles from Shule, Shule is more than four thousand miles from Dunhuang, and Dunhuang is more than three thousand miles from Chang'an, which is about the same distance as Suiye to Baghdad.

With such a long distance, unless you have a shadow clone, it's useless to keep anything.

What Zhang Zhao needs and can take away are Suiye's armored donkeys and treasures, as well as a warrior who is willing to go with him, and the title of Suiye Ju'er Khan that he values ​​very much.

If Zhang Zhao could come from Longyou East to pacify the world in the future, Guo Xuanqing would go directly to Chang'an to pay tribute without even needing an imperial edict, and would give whatever he wanted.

If you ask him to go to Chang'an as a pawn, maybe people will think that the grace of heaven is mighty, and he will return to his hometown to retire.

If the return to the east is unsuccessful, then don't say anything, the relationship between people in a world where strength is the most important thing is just so simple and unpretentious.

The first step in the successful return to the east is to ensure that Zhang Zhao can get enough elite soldiers from Anxi to return to Dunhuang.

A small part of them depended on the support of Li Shengtian and Cao Yuanxin, and most of them had to be collected by himself.

Then, as analyzed earlier, the Guo family, a big family that can live on, may not necessarily be willing to return east with him.

Li Qilang and Zheng Tong are willing, but they are almost naked.

What's more worrying is that there has always been an unstable factor in the Fengtian Army, that is, although they have been winning battles and there is no shortage of money, the people below lack officials, power, and a place to settle down.

Zhang Zhao now clearly has no official position, and he dare not stand up to the official position given by Li Shengtian in Khotan, because he is afraid that if he takes the official position in Khotan too seriously, Li Shengtian will pick the peaches at once after years of hard work.

Secondly, he can't use Suiye Juerhan's signboard. If he uses this, unless he is willing to arrange the people below in Suiye, he must not use it now.

The Guiyi Army has nothing to do with him, and the Central Plains Dynasty would not think of conferring a little guy like him who was previously said to be little-known in the team.

So Zhang Zhao looks quite dignified now, he is Khan, Duke of the county and Inspector, and he is also from a famous family, but he can't use any of them, it can be said that he has nothing.

So, how to maintain the ideological consistency of the team?How can he let the descendants of Tang'er who are determined to return to the east know his existence from the vast crowd, and are willing to go with him?
How to make the return of the East to the homeland an event full of glory?
With the material guarantee, the spiritual needs must be grasped.

So the distinguished cultural man Zhang Da Khan is going to publish a book, and he is going to publish two books at once.

The first book is called "The Complete Biography of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", which was actually imitated on the basis of "The Complete Biography of the Tang Dynasty" edited by the Yuanhu fisherman in the Qing Dynasty.

The reason for choosing this book is because Zhang Zhao is very familiar with the story line of this book.

When I was a child, I didn’t have any entertainment activities. Talking about Tang and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was Zhang Zhao’s most precious source of spiritual culture from his friends to his parents and grandparents.

What is the ranking of the eighteen articles of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the ranking of the 36 heroes.

Li Yuanba who smashed the hammer into the sky, Yuwen Chengdu, the second generation official, and Pei Yuanqing who rode the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

Luo Chengma stepped on the silt river, Qin Qiong sold horses, Cheng Yaojin's three axes, Shan Xiongxin's Juxian Village and so on.

These images are deeply embedded in Zhang Zhao's heart, so he only needs to list out the detailed outline, and then let someone polish it.

The art form of novels actually didn't fully mature until the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Now, it is a super killer, no less than Zhang Zhao's first time seeing Jurassic Park and Star Wars. shocked.

And indeed the effect was very remarkable, Zhang Zhao first asked Wu Yuan'er to try to talk to Yan Jin, Ma Yaozi and the others, and immediately firmly grasped the hearts of these guys.

Now Wu Yuan'er dare not appear in front of them alone, she will be caught if she appears, and she will never get away unless her voice becomes hoarse.

In addition to "The Complete Biography of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", which is a novel with exaggerated elements, the second book is a documentary literature that is biased towards historical facts. Zhang Zhao named it "Biography of the Heroes of the Han and Tang Dynasties".

The book starts with Xuanyuan Huangdi, but the largest space is biased towards the famous officials and generals of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, especially those related to the Western Regions. Each character is a short biography-like story.

Including Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Dou Gu, Dou Xian, Ban Chao, Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty, and Geng Gong who was hungry for Hulu meat.

As well as Li Jing, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Ashinasheer, Guo Xiaoke of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Zhao's ancestor, Zhang Xiaosong, the big cannibal who led a mob of thousands of people to fight, and others.

In the carriage, Zhang Zhaozai carefully read the manuscripts of Guo Tiance's first ten chapters and the last ten chapters, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

"The Complete Biography of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty" has 65 chapters and a total of [-] words. In this era, it is definitely the top entertainment masterpiece.

Zhang Zhao just thought about it for a while, and the horror of writing 65 words on soft paper with a brush made his scalp tingle.

The web articles of later generations often have millions of words, which are based on computer code words, and it is really a terrifying thing to write directly by hand.

"Okay! Keep this book well. When you arrive in Shule, first find dozens of scholars to copy ten sets of books, and then train a group of scholars according to my requirements. Can it be completed in a month?"

Zhang Zhao returned the box to Guo Tiance and asked, Guo Tiance pondered for a moment.

"Khan has a life, and I should do my best. It's just that I don't know if there are so many Shule jute papers, and I don't know if there are any scholars who can write well?"

Zhang Zhao sighed, it was so difficult to write a book in ancient times, even if you finished it, it would be very difficult to turn it into a book.

Especially in Anxi, because there is almost no printing technology here, and movable type printing has not yet been invented, copying has become a great difficulty.

There are not many Anxi who can write Chinese characters, let alone write well. There are ten sets of books with 65 characters, and the amount of jute paper used is incredible.

well!It seems that we still need Li Shengtian's help to see if there are any in the city of Khotan.

"I will discuss this issue with the Great Sage Emperor, and see if we can transfer some from Khotan.

If you do your job well, if you can finish it within a month, this book, a certain name that will allow you, Guo Tiance, is listed among the authors.

And in the future, don't call him Khan anymore, you can call him Lord of a certain county or Mr. Erlang. "

Guo Tiance immediately became excited. Can a small gunner have copyright?This is a masterpiece of 65 words!Enough to be famous in history.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to finish it within a month."
