Chapter 288 Poyan
After capturing Poyan Valley, Yin Chun built the city on the spot.

Originally, it was only to build a dock, but more than 8000 young and strong men and women were captured, which greatly enriched the labor force.

Moreover, the location of Poyan Valley is very critical, connecting the meander and the plateau.

If the Qiang people occupy it, it will be the bridgehead to attack Hequ.

If it is in the hands of Xiping, it will be the forward base for attacking the plateau.

There are lofty mountains on three sides, and the snow will never melt for thousands of years. A river rushes into the Yellow River, and there are large plains on both sides.

The cold wind howls outside the valley, but it is very warm inside the valley.

Xuanyi ordered Sun Yang to suggest building a city directly.

Yin Chun, the governor of the south, took local materials and immediately ordered to burn rocks and quarry them to build the city.

All captives were given food according to their work.

In order to improve efficiency, the sheep were slaughtered every day, the meat was distributed to the soldiers, and the bones were boiled for the captives.

The Qiang people are aggressive by nature, and in the first ten days or so, they resisted one after another.

Later, after drinking broth and eating wheat cakes and millet porridge, the resistance gradually disappeared.

These captives used to eat bran, not to mention broth, wheat cakes and millet porridge. Even so, limited by the Qiang people's farming techniques, they still had a full meal and a hungry meal.

The Qiang people on the plateau have a more miserable life than the Qiang people in Hequ and Minshan.

Most of them are skinny and have sunken eye sockets. Every winter, many people will starve to death.

The Qiang Xuanyi Lang took the opportunity to go deep into the captives.

Precepts and deeds, publicize Xiping's various strategies for benefiting the people.

If it was preached by the Han people, the Qiang people might not be able to listen to it, nor would they believe it.

But Xuan Yilang, a Qiang man, has a different effect. He can be down to earth, know what the Qiang people are thinking, what they hate, and grasp the pain points of the Qiang people.

Many Xuan Yilangs were also transformed from the Qiang people. When they were young, they also experienced darkness and the fear of death brought about by hunger and cold.

"This city was not built for us, but for you. The Qiang and Han are of the same origin, and the Qiang and Han are of one family!" , full of emotions.

Someone will translate it into Qiang language.

Among the Qiang people, there are some who can speak Chinese, and some who can listen but can't speak, and they are all moved by Sun Yang at this moment.

In many cases, the impact of language is far more profound and profound than war.

Yin Chun, who was watching from the sidelines, was amazed, "The general employs people properly."

Sun Yang's military strength is not the highest, and his books are not the best.

But with one mouth, there is the ability to make wild hype.

Being slightly instructed by Yang Zheng, it was like enlightenment.

The positions of the Xuanyi Division in the south are all maintained by him.

With food and Xuan Yilang, the efficiency and enthusiasm of the captives increased significantly. Among them, a group of "advanced" people emerged, actively cooperating with the government soldiers, managing and guiding other captives.

Yin Chun took the opportunity to promote them as corporal chiefs and special chiefs to assist in management.

One winter, among the 700 captives, except for the more than 6000 who were beheaded and killed in the rebellion, and those who died of serious injuries, the remaining more than [-] people have completely gotten used to their new identities.

--slave.

This slave is not that slave.

You can eat, and as long as you obey the rules, you will not be abused and beaten arbitrarily, and your injuries can be treated.

It is very different from the slaves on the plateau.

Five years of slavery, five years of waiting to return, and then governing the people.

No future generations will be slaves forever.

This is much better than the days when they couldn't see the end.

So when Yin Chun passed down that he would build another Chongfu in Poyan Valley and select [-] soldiers, the captives immediately became overwhelmed.

They saw with their own eyes the generous treatment of the Qiang soldiers.

Food, money and silk, land.

If both parties are consensual, after the Xuanyi Division registers, they can marry several Qiang women.

This kind of treatment envied many captive boys.

In March, Poyan City sprung up like mushrooms after rain, guarding the mountain pass like a giant tiger crouching among the snow-capped mountains.

The city walls built of rocks are rough and tense.

When the food, ordnance and other materials from the rear were delivered, the prisoners were completely relieved.

"The general's personal order, the battle of Poyangu, greatly increased the power of our army, half of the rewards received, half for camp construction, Yin Chun, the deputy commander of the south, was promoted to the commander of the south, and the rest of the meritorious officers and men were judged according to the twelve-turn honor system!" Xidu The envoy read it in front of everyone, and immediately made the valley boil.

"Long live the general! Long live the general!"

The voice shook the sky.

Although many slaves didn't know why, they also shouted.

A thousand blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"The general also said that the affairs in the south are all under the control!" the envoy of Xidu said to Yin Chun alone.

Yin Chun immediately half-kneeled on the ground and cupped his hands towards the north, "Chun will do his best!"

Commanding Zhang Te in the east and Zhou Yu in the west, from this moment, Yin Chun became one of the core generals in Xiping.

And this year, he was only 27 years old.

The envoy said to Sun Yang again: "The general is very satisfied with everything you have done, I hope you will continue to work hard!"

There was no reward, but only one sentence, which made Sun Yang burst into tears, "Dare you serve the general to death!"

Many years ago, he was just a vagrant in Guanzhong. He almost starved to death several times and struggled to survive until he met Yang Zheng.

Treating them like nephews, not only can they have enough to eat, but they are also taught martial arts, reading and writing...

Often inspired by the stories of Zhang Qian and Ban Chao in the Han Dynasty.

Comparing their hearts to each other, Yang Zheng did not abandon them, and they would not let Yang Zheng down.

With sufficient food and various incentives, the enthusiasm of the slaves was ignited. Not only did Poyan City rise from the ground, but the surrounding passes and stone fortresses were also built together.

The clay is mixed with the blood of cattle and sheep, bonded with rocks, and then roasted in a big fire. It is as strong as the city wall made of loess.

The new Zhechong Mansion was built within a few days.

The Qiang slaves were enthusiastic.

Water flows to low places, and people go to high places. This is the case both in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Choosing Fubing means owning your own land.

In this day and age, what could be more attractive than this?

And by virtue of his military exploits, he can also leap upwards.

The twelve-turn military merit system has a clearly marked price.

The ownership of a large number of fields in Poyan Valley is in the hands of the leaders of the various ministries, and the military government has a reasonable and legal income bag. Seventy percent of it is designated as garrison land for slaves to cultivate, and [-]% is designated as government land for rewarding newly recruited government soldiers.

Entering Poyan Valley is just the beginning.

The Qiang people first lost the big and small elm valleys, and then lost the poyan valleys, and most of the fertile land available for cultivation fell.

Cannot afford an overpopulation.

Under Xuan Yilang's persuasion, many small and medium-sized tribes continued to move south and fell into the embrace of Xiping.

When spring plowing is coming, Poyan Valley is overcrowded.

The Zhong Qiang, Fa Qiang, and Shao Dang Qiang, which used to lie across the Hequ with a population of one million and more than [-] elite soldiers, are constantly disintegrating.

There are more people, and the land is a little tense.

Some things require planning ahead.

Now the people of the Qiang tribes in the plateau are in panic, the war of attacking the heart has been fruitful, and many leaders have emerged. The Qiang tribe is at its weakest time.

Yin Chun looked to the southeast of Qiandi Road.

In Qinhan County, there are barbarians called Dao.

In the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to Shu County and was one of the Thirteen Di Roads, but geographically, it was closer to Jishi Mountain and Xihai Xiping.
