Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 415
Zhang Zhao discovered something recently, that is, his subordinates walk with wind, and they look beaming.

Fanquan, who was stationed in Shanzhou, also reported that the Tibetans on the Qingtang Plateau, often with a tribe of hundreds of people, began to descend from the mountain to seek refuge in Liangguo.

Even Lun Zhangbomi, a large Tubo family in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River and the West Sea, had already sent envoys to Shanzhou to express their submission, and they would come to Liangzhou soon.

Although there were Tubo tribes who took refuge in the past, they were basically tribal leaders who brought their tribesmen down the mountain to seek resettlement.

But Lunzhang Bomi's family is different. They are old Tibetan nobles who took refuge with their territories.

After getting the support of their family, Zhang Zhao not only got a large piece of land by the West Sea, but also received a large amount of tributes of cattle and sheep every year, and of course he also gave other items.

It can also radiate the entire eastern part of Qinghai and northern Sichuan through the Zhang Bomi family.

In history, Li Lizun, the elder brother and monk who held Zong Siluo hostage, was supported by this family.

They, the Zongmi family of the Shandong three tribes in Shanzhou, and the Wen Bu family of the Shanxi three tribes are the three big snakes along the rich river valley of Huangshui.

The first two families in the middle have long surrendered to Zhang Zhao, and now Lun Zhang Bomi's family has also surrendered. In addition to controlling half of Qinghai, Zhang Zhao can also extend his tentacles to Songzhou and Weizhou in northern Sichuan through them, that is, The Songpan and Huanglong areas of later generations.

Investigating the reason, Zhang Zhao still thought for a long time before he figured it out.

When Zhang Yichao and the first generation of rebel soldiers returned to the country, it had been almost [-] years since Hexi fell.

At that time in Hexi, except for a few wealthy families in Shazhou, less than half of the Han people could speak or speak Chinese, and the rest were almost no different from the Tubo slave tribes.

But these people still followed Zhang Yichao and rose up to resist.

In fact, when Zhang Yichao raised his arms, besides the Han people in the Hexi Corridor, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Shatuo, Zhuqiang, Gamo, and even the Tubo people themselves also stood up and followed Zhang Yichao to raise righteousness.

The reason is that the glory of being a Tang person actually only occupies a very small part.

In other words, it only existed in the minds of Zhang Yichao and other Dunhuang clans who had enjoyed the glory and scenery of the Tang Dynasty.

There is only one reason for most people to rise up to resist, and that is that the oppression of the Tubo dignitaries is so deep that they would rather die in battle than rise up to resist.

It has to be said that the governance ability of the Tubo nobles is really bad!

Zhang Zhao is estimated to be similar to the Xia and Shang dynasties in the Central Plains. The harsh slavery was ruthless to himself, let alone foreigners, and blocked the Silk Road, making everyone suffer and die slowly in poverty.

Therefore, all ethnic groups in Hexi rose up together with Zhang Yichao to resist the oppression of the Tubo nobles, hoping to restore the Silk Road, change the days of poverty and suffering, and stop their children and grandchildren from being slaves.

Then, to get rid of the oppression of such a powerful power as Tubo (at that time, no one thought that Tubo would be in a slump), there was only one choice - Datang!
Although Datang was also full of contradictions at the time, and would soon enter the stage of being bad, but compared with the cruel oppression of Tubo, Tang Ting still seemed lenient and kind, so returning to the country became the unanimous wish of the Guiyi Army.

And after they returned to the Tang Dynasty, apart from the disharmony from the imperial court fighting for Liangzhou, they did also benefit.

The silk road has been unblocked again, revitalizing the economy of the Hexi Corridor, and the horses in Hexi can also be sold at a good price in the Central Plains.

Even if the various clans of the Guiyi Army were resellers, they could still make a lot of money.

They really got benefits, and also satisfied their inner pride of being Tang'er.

Just by looking at the attitudes of the Uighurs in Gaochang and Ganzhou towards the regime in the Central Plains, we can know the importance of the smooth flow of the Central Plains and the Silk Road to Hexi.

And when it was Zhang Zhao's turn to advocate returning to the country, the land of Hexi would actually be reduced to what it was before Zhang Yichao raised his troops.

The Guiyi Army blocked the Uighur merchants in Gaochang from sharing the benefits of the Silk Road.

The Uighurs in Ganzhou blocked the Guiyi Army.

Yanmo is entrenched in Liangzhou, he doesn't stop him, but directly robs, whoever goes to the Central Plains for trade, makes money or loses money, it all depends on your force.

After passing through Liangzhou, Ganmo in Lanzhou, Zhuqiang in Hezhou, etc., the operation is the same.

This situation of scattered races, thousands of large families, hundreds of small ones, no reunification, frequent interception and killing of each other, and almost cut-off of trade routes made many people begin to yearn for a unified whole and reshape the Silk Road. .

Zhang Zhao returned to the east just at this time, and the time, place and people were harmonious, and he got together in an instant.

It can be said that Zhang Zhao was able to unify Hexi in a short period of time. In addition to his eye-opening golden fingers and the Guiyi Army's own good fighting, this kind of determination to unify Hexi's folk wishes also played a great role in promoting.

Without this turbulent public sentiment, I don't know how many people would have gathered to rebel when Zhang Zhao set off, and I don't know how many people would have surrendered and rebelled!
Don't say that Zhang Zhao led the army to go out to take over Longyou, Hexi. It would be impossible within five or eight years.

However, the people of Longyou in Hexi benefited from the Zhang Zhao Silk Road and the peace and stability he brought.

People of all ethnic groups who have received a lot of benefits rarely have various rebellions, and began to really follow him as the monarch.

For example, Shanzhou, which is guarded by Fanquan, although it belongs to the corner of the Silk Road, thanks to the improvement of the overall economic situation, as well as Zhang Zhao's repair of roads, reclamation of wasteland, and promotion of agricultural production technology, the overall living standard is low. has been greatly improved.

This is the biggest reason why Zhang Zhao only deployed a battalion of troops in Shanzhou, and there were nearly [-] tribes in Shanzhou and Huangshui.

Because Zhang Zhao ruled Hexi Longyou, except for a small number of nobles, most people were beneficiaries.

But then came the problem. After the eighteen prefectures returned to China, the Tang Dynasty disappeared, and the emperor of the Central Plains court turned into Shi Jingtang, whose father served Khitan.

What is this like?It's as if you were separated from your family when you were young, but you always remember that your father is awesome, rich, capable of fighting, and powerful.

So when I returned home, I would never be bullied again. Someone blocked me, I had the idea of ​​a card, I worked so hard to find it, and finally I went home to see it.

Cao!
(Fuck dish)
In your impression, that dad who is so cowhide is kneeling on the ground to kowtow to a bastard with a big gold chain and a big watch, a flat head tattoo and a big belly, and he is still calling him dad while kowtowing.

You have gone through a lot of hardships and sarcasm, and when you get home, you have to give a big gold chain to call grandpa.

This is what most people in Hexi and Longyou felt the most after returning to China.

Zhang Zhao knew the outcome of the matter in advance, and he had been prepared for thousands of years, so he didn't feel so humiliated.

But in the eyes of people of this era, this is so embarrassing that they are ashamed to say that they are from the Tang Dynasty.

In Longyou, Hexi, Tang'er is a minority after all, and it is estimated that there are three to 400,000 people who really think they are Tang'er.

Adding in the people who are deeply Sinicized and those who were forcibly stripped of their identities by Zhang Zhao, the total is only about [-].

The remaining two million people are all Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Zhuqiang, Uighur, Tubo, Shatuo, and Dadan people.

They didn't really want to return to the country with Zhang Zhao, and their feelings for Chinese culture hadn't been established yet.

And after returning to the country, the emperor of the Central Plains is so crotch. If there is no common interest, I am afraid that the Hexi Longyou regime that has just been entangled will be disbanded.

Zhang Zhao also sensed this undercurrent, but didn't think it through clearly.

But since he ventured to Hunhe, through various manipulations, he became a brother of Yelu De Guangyue, these troubles disappeared very quickly.

Everyone was proud that Zhang Zhao was Yelu Deguang's brother. After the cohesion was greatly enhanced, Zhang Zhao also understood the reason for this.

This is the biggest reason why Zhang Zhao calls himself a heavenly king but not a king. Shi Jingtang's lack of virtue and shamelessness have actually greatly damaged the cards of the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty.

As for why he didn't directly proclaim himself emperor, Zhang Zhao very much agreed with Fu Jian's point of view. In the past, Fu Jian once said that the world has not yet been unified, so it is better to be called heavenly king rather than emperor.

This elder brother of the Di tribe is a fanatical Chinese orthodox fan, and he feels that he has not met the standard of mixing one world to benefit the common people.

So instead of being called the emperor, I found the title of heavenly king used by Zhou Tianzi from the pile of old papers, which shows that it is higher than the king, but lower than the emperor.

It's just that this title seems a little unlucky. Fu Jian called the Queen of Heaven, and was defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Battle of Feishui, and even the country could not be kept.

Finally, he was caught by Yao Chang and forced to ask about the location of Chuanguo Yuxi. Fu Jian insisted that he had sent the Yuxi to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and refused to hand it over to Yao Chang, a Qiang man. He was then strangled to death in Xingping Temple.

But in Zhang Zhao's era, the king of heaven and the language environment have changed. The biggest change is that he can communicate with a few words.

Among the Han people, it could be the Heavenly King, and among the nomadic people, it could be called the Heavenly Khan. Gaochang Uighur Jieli Pijia called himself the Heavenly King, that is, the Heavenly Khan.

In Dangxiang language, he can also be translated as Wuzu. Among the Qiang and Tubo, the titles of Heavenly King and Zhang Zhao are equivalent.

At this time in Hexi, all ethnic groups coexist, Hu and Han live together, and the number of Hu people is more than that of Han people. To draw them in, unite and assimilate them, we need a title that they can understand.

The title of King Liang is also possible, but it is a pity that the current emperor of the Central Plains is Shi Jingtang, so the king of heaven is the most suitable.

After Zhang Zhao prepared for a while, he began to lie down and contact the Central Plains, expressing his willingness to accept Shi Chonggui's canonization again.

In this way, Shi Zhonggui's eyes can be successfully drawn to Khitan.

As for Zhang Zhao who didn't want to accept the canonization of the Later Jin Dynasty, he had to wait for a while to see if Shi Chonggui was firm.

If he can't wait for the canonization to be implemented, he will be taken care of by Khitan, then I can't blame Zhang Tianwang.

If Shi Chonggui survived, then Zhang Zhao would accept the canonization of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Among the Tang people, he was called the King of Liang, among the Dangxiang people, he was called Wuzu, among the Uighurs and Dadan people, he was called Tian Khan, and among the Tubo, Qiang, and Tuyuhun people, he was called the Supreme Heavenly Great Merciful Dharma King Bodhisattva.

When they enter the Central Plains, they will be called the emperor. In this way, Tian Khan, Wuzu, and Dharma kings who are equivalent to Zanpu will all be placed under the Chinese emperor.

Beautiful!
And this has another advantage, that is, after defeating the Gaochang Uighur, the title of Ju'er Khan can be cancelled.

Because when the Suiye tribe respected Zhang Zhao as Ju'er Khan, they made an agreement with Li Shengtian that the emperor was above and Khan was below.

That is to say, in the four places of Khotan, Suiye, Shule, and Ningyuan in the Dajin Kingdom of Khotan today, Juerhan's position is under the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom of Khotan.

Zhang Zhao has great respect for Li Shengtian who has helped him a lot. It can be said that without Li Shengtian, there would be no Zhang Zhao today, and Zhang Zhao has no intention of changing the status quo in Khotan.

Because Khotan is more than [-] miles away from Dunhuang, and the Taklimakan Desert is also separated, why do you take it back?
Send officials to manage?
That is completely useless, the officials sent will either not be able to continue, or they will soon establish themselves as kings. The reason is that they are too far away.

Now Khotan's Li family and Zhang Zhao's entanglement is so deep that they are uncles and nephews, the second generation is in-laws, and the third generation must be married at least several couples.

The Queen Mother Fengtian of Liang Kingdom is the Princess Fengtian of Khotan. With such an iron relationship, how could there be a better relationship than Yuchi and the Li family continuing to rule Khotan?
However, the remaining problem is that Li Shengtian's status in Anxi and Hexi is higher than that of Zhang Zhao.

So by defeating the Gaochang Uyghur battle, Zhang Zhao could change Ju'erhan's title to Tian Khan, and give Li Shengtian the title of Uncle Tian Khan or Uncle Fawang.

After Li Shengtian passed away, the status of Khotan's lineage was naturally below that of Zhang Zhao.

　Recently, I want to describe a little bit of internal affairs, but after writing a lot, I still feel that it is not that good. I owe an update today, so I have to think about it.

　　Find a day at five shifts next week to make up all the debts.
