Early the next morning, it was still snowing heavily.Su Dingfang came to ask Chen Ying if he sent troops in the snow.Chen Ying thought, marching in the snow, even if there are snow sledge tents to keep warm and cold, but some soldiers are divided outside to be moved, no matter whether it is the Ninth Division of Zhaowu or the generals of the Tang Army, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they are frostbitten and disabled Yes, it's not always beautiful.

Chen Ying pondered: "Cao Dan, how long do you think it will snow?"

Cao Dan explained in a low voice: "General Chen, the snow in the Western Regions falls every day, and it won't stop until the sun comes out!"

Chen Ying asked again: "How long will it take for the sun to appear?"

"Big... about... about an hour and a half!"

The dawn of the Western Regions was originally later than that of the Central Plains, and now it will be an hour and a half later in the evening, and I am afraid that we will not be able to set off until noon, so it may be difficult to reach Gaochang City.

Chen Yingdao: "Then let's go now!"

When Su Dingfang heard the order, he beat and drummed to send out the army.More than [-] people left the camp outside Gaoche City and headed for Gaochang City in the northwest.

Gaochang Guoling Yin saw this scene, his eyes flickered with uneasiness.But Qu Wentai turned pale with shock: "General please calm down, Qu Wentai is willing to be dealt with by the general!"

"Disposition?" Chen Ying said with a slight smile: "You think too much, your Qu clan, Shi Zhen Gaochang, saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of our Huaxia clan, and made contributions to the common people. This general will not punish you. On the contrary, this general will not punish you." I want to give you a lot of wealth!"

Although Chen Ying is not a so-called historical expert, he knows that the Western Regions have been under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty.Even during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in turmoil, and the Central Plains was ravaged by the Hu people. However, when they left the town of Zhang Gui in Liangzhou, they took the opportunity to establish the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family, set up the Western Regions Protectorate in Zhang Jun and Zhang Chonghua, and brought the Western Regions under the rule of Liang. Down.Later, the Five Kingdoms of Former Qin, Later Liang, Xi Liang, and Northern Liang ruled the Western Regions all the time.

During the period of great social turmoil, the more central areas suffered the greater impact. At that time, the entire Central Plains were killed, blood flowed into rivers, bones were exposed, and ten rooms were empty.On the contrary, remote areas can be safe and peaceful, such as Liangzhou area, which was relatively stable during Zhang's rule.

Gaochang State is far away from the Central Plains. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were two large-scale population migrations. The first time was when Zhang’s Liang State was destroyed by the former Qin Dynasty. People in Gushu, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Hezhou, and Shazhou, Then they fled westward on a large scale.

At that time, the Han people and the Han people who migrated to the Western Regions during the original Han Dynasty defended themselves one after another. With the establishment of the Gaochang Kingdom, a large number of Han people from the Western Regions, north and south of the Tianshan Mountains poured into Gaochang Kingdom for refuge.And attached to Gao Guochang, so Gao Chang gradually became stronger.

Because the geographical situation here makes good use of the agricultural and handicraft economy familiar to the Han people, the Han people who flowed in here adapted to the local natural geography, forming 48 towns in the four counties and eighteen counties of Gaochang State.

When King Gaoche heard this, he shook his head and said: "General Chen didn't know that he said that the Han people in Gaochang were grateful for Qu's survival, but that may not be true. Almost all the Han people in Gaochang hated Qu's immortality." !"

Hearing Gaoche Wang's lame Tang Yan, Chen Ying took a while to understand, of course he didn't listen to one side, but turned to Ma Mengming and asked: "What does he mean, Ma Lingyin?" Explain to me!"

"It's nonsense, it's nonsense!" Ma Mengming denied it categorically, pointing at King Gaoche and roaring: "You have turned black and white, pointed deer into white, spitting blood, despicable and shameless..."

Zhou Qing, who was beside Chen Yingchong, said: "The general came to Gaoche, but he hasn't seen the Han clan yet. Go around the villages and towns and ask the major families to send representatives to come and see the general!"

Zhou Qing bowed and saluted, "Obey!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Mengming's expression suddenly changed: "The general...you are wronged, my lord is also forced to help..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying didn't need to think with his head, but with his knees, he knew that the historical records might be wrong.I'm afraid the rumors are not true.

Chen Ying's face gradually became gloomy: "You'd better explain it clearly to the general, otherwise the Qu clan will have no chance of Chang'an!"

Seeing that Chen Ying was angry, Ma Mengming didn't dare to hide any more, so he told Chen Ying.

It turned out that Ma Ru, the first Qu Jia Gaochang King of Gaochang Kingdom, thought that he had a long history.In 497 A.D. (Taihe 21st year), Ma Ru, king of Gaochang, proclaimed himself a minister to Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and asked for an attachment.Accepting Ma Ru's request, he sent Mingwei General Han Anbao to accept him, and cut off five hundred miles of land in Yiwu for Ma Ru to live in.However, Qu Jia secretly took refuge in the Rouran people.He thought that Rouran was powerful, and once Gaochang moved eastward, Rouran would definitely send an attack. The Northern Wei court could not quench their thirst, so Qu Jia led his troops to rebel, killed Ma Ru and made himself king.

This is the beginning of Qu's acquisition of Gaochang.Later, the people of Rouran weakened, especially the Turkic Tumen Khan defeated Rouran, and the Gaochang Kingdom surrendered to the Turks under the leadership of Qu Baomao, the then king of Gaochang.

After Gaochang surrendered to the Turks, he got a chance to survive under the protection of the Turks.As a vassal state, Gaochang had to pay heavy taxes to the Turks every year.In this way, taxes are naturally passed on to ordinary people.

The key is that Gaochang is a vassal state of the Turks. Even if the Turks are just ordinary soldiers in Gaochang, they are still high-ranking uncles. The Turks can get the wind and the rain in Gaochang.However, the successive kings of the Qu family did not dare to provoke the Turkic people, fearing that the Turkic people would retaliate.

So, make laws.Whenever Gaochang people and Turkic people quarreled over any reason, Gaochang would hit forty big blows first, and after forty big blows, those who were hard-fought would have half their lives left, and those who were soft-fingered would be beaten to death at that time.The king of Gaochang feared the Turkic people like tigers, and so did officials at all levels, so the Han people in Gaochang were the third-class slaves in the Western Regions.

The first class is the high-ranking Turkic people, the second class is the Hu people of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the third class is headed by the Qu family who ruled Gaochang with the seven surnames of Xue, Ma, Zhang, He, Liu, and Liu.

Under the high-handed rule of King Gaochang, the Han people in Gaochang had to swallow their anger in the face of the provocations of the Turks in order to survive.Gaochang State is said to be a country with Han people as the main body, but in fact it is a country where there is no distinction between right and wrong, laws are lost, the strong bully the weak, the barbarians oppress the Han people, the wicked run rampant, and the good people have no peace of mind.

There is indeed a customary custom of "grabbing wives" in Turks, which allows powerful young men to snatch women from various places and tribes as wives. A man who robs other people's wives will be punished severely. Even the emperor would not dare to openly rob a married woman, but in Gaochang Kingdom, such behavior is acquiesced. That's a wimp.

The Gaochang Dynasty has stood for 140 years, and the lineage of the Han surnames in Gaochang is completely chaotic. Not to mention the degeneration of the language, even the living habits are the same as those of the Hu people.The Han people in Gaochang have degenerated economically and culturally.Although Chen Ying, as a person of later generations, understands that this is an example of Han people turning into Hu people in a special period-but it is by no means the only case in history.

In the later days of the Celestial Dynasty, laws favored ethnic minorities in education, childbirth, taxation, social security, medical care, and many other areas.

Chen Ying could understand, but Qu's behavior was not acceptable.His determination to destroy Gaochang became even more determined.

What made Chen Ying most angry was that in order to obtain the asylum of the Turks, the king of Gaochang sent Gaochang Han women to serve as silver music for the Turks, and sent young and middle-aged men to serve as slaves to the Turks.

When Chen Ying heard the news, he trembled with anger: "How many Han people are there in Gaochang now?"

Ma Mengming felt the murderous aura on Chen Ying, and said timidly, "Except for Xue, Ma, Zhang, He, Liu, Liu and one or two thousand young adults, it seems that there are so many!"

"What about the rest?"

Even a fool could see the murderous intent in Chen Ying's tone.

Ma Mengming dared not answer.

"Haha!" Chen Ying pushed open the door, letting the cold wind blow on his body, he was afraid that his anger would ignite by himself.

Chen Ying went to the military camp in the city.

Seeing Chen Ying's arrival, the soldiers of Xiaoqi Army and Modao Army lined up to welcome Chen Ying.

Chen Ying glanced at all the soldiers and said: "We Han men, there are two things that we can't bear the most, one is killing our father, and the other is taking away our wives. There are two things we can't tolerate most in the Tang Dynasty, one is treason and betraying friends. , and the second is to rape a wife and daughter. Whoever commits these two things, according to my Tang law, what should I do?"

Luo Shixin shouted, "Kill!"

Chen Ying looked at Ma Mengming and asked, "What does Ma Lingyin think?"

Ma Mengming said in a trembling voice: "Traitors to the country and friends should be punished! Otherwise, how can the country survive! Whoever rapes wives and daughters should be killed! Otherwise, how can the people be safe!"

"Ma Lingyin said it well!" Chen Ying looked at the soldiers again, and said: "Brothers, the Western Regions have been my Chinese territory since ancient times, and now the homes of my Han compatriots in the Western Regions have been trampled on What will you do if the woman is bullied?"

The blood of all the soldiers began to boil: "Kill...kill...kill!"

Chen Ying said again: "Gaochang

Zhang Mai said again: "Since the founding of the country in Gaochang, Qu's family, there has been no distinction between right and wrong, the law has been lost, and the people have been in a hurry. Although it is known as the Han state, in my opinion, his Qu's family is the minions of the Turks. I, the Chinese people, belong to the same family. Compatriots have suffered humiliation and oppression, and there is no way to complain. However, today, the general is here, we are here, and wherever we are, the order of our Tang Dynasty is established. The order of our Tang Dynasty makes the barbarians Do not dare to oppress the Han people, make the strong not dare to bully the weak, make the wicked not dare to run amok, and let the good people live in peace."

At this time, Luo Shixin vaguely understood what Chen Ying meant, and he shouted excitedly: "Kill Gaochang King, destroy Gaochang Kingdom!"

All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Kill Gaochang King, destroy Gaochang Kingdom..."

Chen Ying turned to look at Ma Mengming. At this time, Ma Mengming's face was dripping with cold sweat, and his body was shaking like chaff.

Chen Ying laughed and said: "Ma Lingyin, this general will teach you another truth!"

Ma Mengming was stunned.

Chen Yingdao: "There is no one here, Han Daochang!"
