Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 360 Hexi Unification

In the city of Ganzhou, the corpses have been cleaned up, and all the officers and nobles who are more than a hundred Uighurs in Ganzhou Uighurs have been locked up and taken away.

Zhang Zhao mobilized [-] shi of corn from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, which directly stabilized the soaring grain prices in Ganzhou, and allowed the people of Ganzhou to pay for their work in exchange for grain from the Guiyi Army.

Coupled with the fact that the Guiyi Army did not commit adultery or indiscriminate killing after entering the city, the situation in Ganzhou quickly stabilized.

Whether it was the Uighurs in the city, the Long family, or a small number of Dadan people, they all accepted the rule of the Guiyi Army.

They were even very thankful that the Guiyi Army was able to overthrow the Yaogeluo family, because the hostility with the Guiyi Army in the past few years has tortured the people of Ganzhou terribly.

Of course, the members of Yao Geluo's family would not die of starvation. Those who died of starvation were poor people like them. Therefore, many people still agree with and support the Guiyi Army that broke Ganzhou.

On the third day after the city was broken, Huang Yang'er brought the eleven leaders of the Yellow-headed Uyghur tribe on the Qilian Mountains to Ganzhou City.

According to Zhang Zhao's order, they beheaded the last royal family of Ganzhou Uighurs, Yaoge Luo Tongli, and more than a hundred of his followers.

Zhang Zhao received them at the palace of the Uyghurs in Ganzhou, and immediately appointed Huang Yang'er as the commander of the seventh battalion of Hanhai Town, Guiyi Army.

Let Huang Yang'er, in addition to his own more than 900 people, go to the Yellow-headed Uighurs to recruit warriors and get together [-] people.

Looking at the dozen or so yellow-headed Uyghurs in front of him who were not much different from the Tubo people, Zhang Zhao also rewarded some gold, silver and cloth, and then asked kindly.

"You all know that a certain person is willing to let you return to your hometown, right?"

All the leaders hurriedly bent down, and answered in one voice, "I already know, and I will thank you for your kindness!"

"That's good! Now that you're going back to your hometown, don't call yourself the Yellow-headed Uighur, and use the real name of the Kucha people in the future!"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile, in fact, he wanted to cut the two characters of these yellow-headed Uyghurs from Uyghurs.

Because Saktu, who was beaten by Zhang Zhao to the land of seven rivers north of the Tianshan Mountains, was a Uyghur, and the Gaochang Uyghur even used Uyghur as their country name.

If these tens of thousands of people go back with the title of yellow-headed Uighurs, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of management.

For these tens of thousands of yellow-headed Uyghurs, changing their name is nothing at all. They didn't like the name of yellow-headed Uyghurs very much.

After talking about the Uighur, Zhang Zhao looked at Huang Yang'er again, and couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face.

"Huangyanger, don't you have a name? There is a yellow sheep in a certain's righteous army, which was brought back from Shule City by a certain person. He is extremely intelligent."

Huang Yang'er didn't care about Zhang Zhao's teasing, and he even wanted to go one step further.

"Your Majesty said that, doesn't it mean that he also wants to adopt XX as his adopted son? If so, XX will kneel down and say yeah!
Anyway, the emperor of the Central Plains can recognize the Khitan king who is ten years younger than him as his father, and a certain one is only two or three years older than the king, so he can naturally call the king "Yeah". "

"You have a good idea, boy, I still want to call the king "Yeah!" Qiong Re Duojin on the side heard it, and couldn't help laughing.

Immediately, everyone laughed together, and the slightly tense and awkward atmosphere immediately eased up.

Zhang Zhao also laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, and stopped after a while and said to Huang Yang'er, "Forget it, I'd better give you a name, this Tang'er also has the surname Huang, so there is no need to change the surname.

In the past, a certain great-grandfather Taibao had a great general named Yan Yingda, why not give you the word Yingda, heroic and heroic, cheerful and open-minded, it matches your temperament. "

Yan Yingda, also known as Shang Yanxin in history, is not an ordinary person.

When Zhang Yichao restored Hexi, he was a big man attached to Hexi and Weizhou.

He is a ruthless man who can lead the Tubo tribe as a Gamo.

The loss of control of Hexi by the Guiyi Army was marked by Yan Yingda's death in battle as a general in Zendan Town.

This kind of naming was not an ordinary naming, Huang Yang'er immediately put away the playful expression on his face, got out of his seat and threw himself on the ground, and gave Zhang Zhao three big bows.

"Servant Huang Yingda, I would like to thank the king for giving me the name, and I am willing to follow the king and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

. . . .

After dealing with the matter of the yellow-headed Uyghurs, Zhang Zhao dispersed the Ganzhou Uyghurs whose aristocratic system had been wiped out.

After six days of investigation and statistics, there were 24 households and a population of [-] in Ganzhou Uighurs at this time.

More than [-] of them live in the area from Xiasuzhou to Miaoquan Shouzhuo.

Zendan has more than nineteen thousand people.

There are 9000 people in Gannanjing Tieshan.

From Juyanhai to the desert, there lived more than [-] Uighurs who mixed with the Dadan people.

There are more than [-] people in Ganzhou headquarters.

After this battle, there are more than [-] men who will be fined and confiscated to Jingtieshan.

As for the tribes from Juyanhai to the desert, the Ganzhou Uighur Khan had relatively weak control over them, Zhang Zhao divided them into ten tribes, each with about [-] people.

Then one hundred of the most brave men were drawn, formed a battalion and brought with them, and were incorporated into Yucheng Town, called the Uighur Righteous Cong Zuoying.

Then, 1000 people were drawn from the Ganzhou headquarters, and he was incorporated into Yucheng Town, which was called Uighur Righteous Congyouying.

At the same time, 5000 people were relocated from the Ganzhou Uyghurs who were in Dandan, and they were resettled in Minqin County to the north of Liangzhou and Changsong County to the south.

Then about 10,000 people were transferred from the Liubu Zhebu family and Zhao Zhenjiang's family to Zendan.

Zhang Zhao formally appointed Zhao Zhen as the town general of Zendan, and took control of Zendan, a place that can be called a holy place for raising horses in all of China, for Zhang Zhao.

In addition, more than 30,000 people in the Ganzhou headquarters will also be drawn out to [-] people and scattered to Lanzhou and Hezhou. Of course, Hezhou has not yet been defeated, and now it is just an arrangement in advance.

After making these arrangements, there are only about 50,000 people left in the original Uighurs in Ganzhou.

Zhang Zhao then moved 10,000 people from the Guiyi Army to Ganzhou, appointed Cao Yansi, the son of Aduoyu Khan in Ganzhou, as the governor of Ganzhou, and appointed Luo Tongda, the military envoy of the Guiyi Army Yamen, as the defense envoy of Ganzhou.

It's just that Cao Yansi won't be in Ganzhou at all, and Zhang Zhao just wants to use his name to temporarily appease people's hearts.

The power in Ganzhou is still in the hands of Luo Tongda, an experienced Guiyi Army veteran.

Zhang Zhao originally wanted his own people to guard Ganzhou, but after all the calculations, the only generals under him who could stand alone were Yan Jin, Yin Yaozi, Fanquan, Ma Shacai and a few others.

But these people couldn't move at all, and they all had heavy responsibilities, so Luo Tongda could only do it.

However, this was not bad, Luo Tongda was the confidant general of Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng, and there were hundreds of Luo family members in the Guiyi Army, so Zhang Zhao was quite at ease with Luo Tongda.

At the end of June, after arranging the affairs in Ganzhou, Zhang Zhao returned to Liangzhou, and asked people to arrange the wedding.

While preparing to take down half of Shanzhou (Xining, Qinghai) within the scope of the Longyou Jiedushi and not under Zhang Zhao's control.

Kuozhou (Qinghai Hualong)
Hezhou (Linxia, ​​Gansu)
Taozhou (Lintan, Gansu)
Weizhou (Longxi, Gansu)
Diezhou (Diebu, Gansu)
Minzhou (Min County, Gansu) and other six and a half states.

At the beginning of July, Zhang Zhao appointed Yan Jin as the conquest envoy of Shan, Kuo, and He prefectures, led 4000 horse infantry, and conscripted [-] people from the three Shandong tribes to enter Shan prefecture.

At the end of July, Yan Jin fought against the six tribes of Shanxi, who refused to surrender, at the edge of Huangshui in Huangshui City (Ledu, Qinghai).

Yan Jin entered Huangshui City, which was the residence of the Longyou Jiedu Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and regained Huangshui City. Zhang Zhao's title of Hexi Longyou Jiedu Ambassador became famous and real.

Half a month later, Yan Jin once again went south to attack Kuozhou. The Tubo tribe in Kuozhou gathered more than [-] people to resist, but was defeated.

At this time, Zhang Zhao, who received the Yan Jin battle report, rushed to Huangshui City, and immediately executed all the leaders of the Zhongrijiang and Beining tribes of the six Shanxi tribes who dared to take the lead in rebellion, and fined more than [-] men from the two tribes. A miner slave in Mirror Iron Mountain.

The rest of Chuokezong, Yangdan and other ministries were terrified, and offered cattle, sheep and women to surrender one after another.

Fifteen days later, the Tubo tribe in Kuozhou who originally occupied Kuozhou, but was driven to the snow-capped mountains by Yan Jin, rioted. The people killed Dongdai's family and went down the mountain to seek refuge.

Are you kidding me, this is the Little Ice Age, Kuozhou was already very difficult to survive, and being driven to the snow-capped mountains was a near-death experience.

Zhang Zhao took the opportunity to recruit these Tubo tribes, got more than 2000 mouths, and appointed Pan Quan as the governor of Kuozhou, and moved [-] people from the Li family in Shatuo, Lanzhou to Kuozhou to appease and divide the local tribes.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhao transferred 3000 people from the Fourth Division of Shanxi and 6000 people from the Ma Infantry Army of the Rebel Army to form an army of more than [-] civilians, and marched from Shanzhou to Hezhou.

After the army arrived, under the "invitation" of the presiding master of Lingyan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple in Hezhou, the tribes of Hezhou Momo sent their children as pledges, and offered their land and household registration, cattle, sheep and children to express their submission.

At the end of Hezhou, many of them were descendants of Longyou soldiers, and the city of Hezhou was only about [-] miles away from Lanzhou. As long as Zhang Zhao wanted to, he could deploy a large army to attack.

Therefore, he agreed to the refuge of the various ministries in Hezhou, and asked the various ministries to take an oath of blood in Hezhou City, announcing that they would give up their status as the end of the country, and return to the country as descendants of Longyou soldiers.

Although only [-]% to [-]% of them have the blood of Longyou soldiers, the identity of the Han people has never been determined solely by blood, but more by cultural identity.

Zhang Zhao also believed that, with Yan Mo's level of education, he would be able to assimilate soon.

After Hezhou took refuge, only Taozhou, Minzhou, Diezhou and the most important Weizhou remained in the remaining territory.

In October, the people of Taozhou rioted and killed the Tubo nobles in Taozhou who were preparing to resist the Guiyi army.

The terrified leaders of various ministries in Minzhou walked [-] miles with the sheep naked and led the sheep to surrender at Zhang Zhaoda's military camp at the foot of Kongtong Mountain in Minzhou.

However, there was a small accident in the end. The Tubo tribe in Diezhou had little communication with the outside world and did not know about the changes in the outside world. They even gathered more than [-] people to defend the mountain city of Diezhou to resist.

Governor Zhang Zhao sent Min, He, and Tao prefectures as vanguards, while the Guiyi Army provided long-distance support.

In order to accept the votes, the tribes of the three states attacked desperately, and with the assistance of various siege equipment from the Guiyi Army, the army fought for a month and a half, and finally defeated Diezhou.

Diezhou was originally able to become a state because the climate was warm during the Tang Dynasty and a certain amount of farming could be developed.

But in the current Little Ice Age, it is almost only possible to do grazing, and the only place where some land can be planted is the more than a thousand mu of land in the river valley.

So in order to frighten the local area, and also to give some benefits to the Min, He, and Tao prefectures who have accepted the certificate.

For the first time, Zhang Zhao did not restrain his troops. After Diezhou City was broken, the tribes of the three states rushed into Diezhou City and Dasuo took three days to withdraw their swords.

Immediately, Zhang Zhao ordered to destroy the Diezhou City built by the Tang Dynasty, move out all the remaining thousands of Diezhou tribesmen, and reward the meritorious ministers.

So far, Diezhou, which originally had a population of more than [-], was completely abandoned.

On December [-], just before New Year's Eve, the leaders of the Han and Qiang clans from Longxi, Xiangwu, and Weiyuan in Weizhou came to Liangzhou in person to announce their refuge.

From the name alone, it can be seen that places like Longxi, Xiangwu, and Weiyuan must be areas with a large number of Han people and a high degree of Sinicization.

They were also related by marriage to the Han clans in Liangzhou, Minzhou and other places, so they quickly took refuge in Zhang Zhao.

So far, there are seventeen prefectures of Gua, Sha, Su, Gan, Liang, Lan, Shan, He, Min, Kuo, Tao, Die, Wei, Dang, Cheng, Wu, and Qin in Longyou, Hexi.

Except that Diezhou was destroyed and abandoned, Cheng, Wu, and Qinzhou were in the hands of Later Jin, and Dangzhou was in the hands of Houshu, Zhang Zhao finally completed the great cause of unifying Longyou in Hexi.
