Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 34 Banzhen Barbarian

"Youzai is really talented in politics. He has only been appointed as the emissary of Chengdu for more than a month. The city of Chengdu is full of people, and the trend of luxury has been greatly reduced."

Liu Zhang smiled and praised his Chengdu order.

Dong He is indeed a talent praised by Zhuge Liang, and the position of Chengdu Ling may only have wronged this great talent.

However, Dong He had just arrived, and he needed to make some achievements in the position of Chengdu Ling before he could better promote him. After all, Chengdu Ling had already moved across the country for Dong He, otherwise Dong He would have benefited from fleeing to Nanjun. How could the white body of the state ascend to the position of governor of Yizhou and the order of Chengdu in one step?

"Thank you Minggong for your compliment." Dong He was humble as usual.

Then Liu Zhang looked at Huang Quan. This future brother-in-law, after taking up the post of chief clerk, handled paperwork and took care of affairs, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

"With Gong Heng as the chief registrar, my worries are greatly reduced."

I have to complain about Liu Yan here. His desire for power is too great. He doesn't even have a chief secretary. He just grabs his eyebrows and beard and doesn't share any rights with the Shu people.

Looking at later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang, who abolished the prime minister system, could compete with them. He did not care about the ability of future generations, and he took it upon himself if he felt he was capable.

I never thought that few of their descendants could be as capable as him. According to historical records, during the eight days from September 18th to 21st in the 660th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed a total of 390 memorials from internal and external officials. There are about [-] cases of state affairs handled.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's crazy work attitude, among the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Di could barely hold on, and he had to get a cabinet to help him.

"Thank you Ming Gong." After hearing Liu Zhang's words, Huang Quan also thanked him.

He looked at Liu Zhang sitting at the top and remembered what happened last night. Last night, Dong Fu paid a return visit to the Huang Mansion and told him about Liu Zhang's thoughts on marriage.

Liu Zhang had no intention of getting married at this time, and was willing to sign a marriage contract first and marry Huang Wan three years later.In the past three years, he has to keep his filial piety for his father and brother, focusing mainly on military affairs and avenging his father and brother.

'True is a sincere and filial person. Huang Quan sighed in his heart, Liu Zhang can be regarded as a good match for his sister.

At that time, his sister Huang Wan's attitude was very straightforward. She said to Dong Fu: "Dong Gong, please reply to the envoy to make you have such an ambition. Not to mention three years, even ten years. A little girl can also wait." '

Dong Fu looked at Huang Wan with such heroic spirit, stroked his beard and sighed: "This is a match made in heaven, a rare good match in the world." '

Huang Quan had nothing to do with waiting for three years. The Book of Rites records: "When a man is twenty, he is crowned, and when he is crowned, he is married. When he is thirty, he is married. When a woman is fifteen, she is promised to marry, and when she is twenty, she is married." 'His sister made a marriage agreement with Liu Zhang when she was 15 years old. Marrying her at [-] is considered to be in line with etiquette and law.

Although most women in the world get married when they are only twelve or thirteen years old, and those who are still unmarried at the age of 56 may be impatient, but for Huang Quan, such good things are not afraid of waiting, and the future is long.

At this time, Pang Que walked in, raised his hands to Liu Zhang and reported: "Your Majesty, Colonel Gan is back and is under the clouds."

Liu Zhang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and invite Xingba."

Pang Que accepted with his hands raised, but something suddenly occurred to him and he turned around to report: "Captain Gan is bringing another person with him. He has a dark complexion and does not look like a man. Are you inviting him here as well?"

"Introduce all the people Xingba brought." Liu Zhang was a little curious as to who Gan Ning had brought to see him.

After a while, Gan Ning led Shen Mi into the main hall.

"Shen Mi of Ba County, whose courtesy name is Wenyuan, has met Liu Shijun." Shen Mi saluted and informed him of his name.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang directly asked him to go to the palace with Gan Ning. He was still wondering whether Liu Zhang would summon Gan Ning first, and then wait for Gan Ning to recommend him before he could be summoned.

Looking at this dark and strong man like an iron tower, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel happy. One look at Shen Mi and he knew he was a general.

He knew the name Shen Mi. Historically, in the first year of Xingping, Gan Ning, Shen Mi and Lou Fa rebelled against Liu Zhang at the instigation of Jingzhou's farewell commander Liu He. After failure, they retreated to Jingzhou, and then Shen Mi He and Lou Fa have lost their records, but only Gan Ning has left his glory in history.Being able to be on good terms with Gan Ning, Shen Mi must not be an ordinary person.

Liu Zhang nodded, accepted Shen Mi's salute, and then introduced Huang Quan and Dong He to Gan Ning and Shen Mi.

After announcing each other's names, Gan Ning and Shen Mi took their seats.

"Wenyuan calls himself a Ba person, but from Quan's perspective, Wen Yuan's appearance is not similar to that of a Ba person, but rather similar to that of a Ba person." Huang Quan spoke quickly and asked directly.

Shen Mi was a little embarrassed, but he still answered Huang Quan's question straightforwardly: "I dare to teach Mr. Huang to know that my father is a Han Chinese. He was poor in his early years and could not afford to marry, so he took my mother, who was from a poor family, as his wife. So a certain person’s appearance is not similar to that of Ba people.”

"That's it." Huang Quan nodded.

'Fake people. 'Liu Zhang recalled the information about the Zhi people. Compared with the name Zhi people, another name for this group was louder.

'Ban Zhenman. '

Because the Mi people use wooden planks as shields in battle, they are also called "Banchen barbarians". Banchen barbarians live on both sides of the Jialing River and Qujiang River, which is within the scope of Cuba.

This is an ethnic group with a long history. According to Huayang National Chronicles, the Banzhen barbarians had already fought hard and made great achievements when King Wu conquered Zhou. In the Battle of Muye, the Ba people sang and danced before rushing towards the merchants and defeated them.In ancient times, it was called "King Wu defeated Zhou, singing before and dancing behind".

Historical records record that during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, white tigers were infested, and the Banzhen barbarians enlisted and used white bamboo crossbows to shoot tigers. King Zhao carved a stone as an alliance and promised that his farmland would not be rented, and the murderer could pay for his death.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang asked Shen Mi: "But in the past, when my great ancestor was the king of Han, he recruited people, so he was able to return the Three Qin Dynasties."

Shen Mi's face showed joy, and he raised his hands to Liu Zhang and said loudly: "I have seen clearly that he is a man from the past."

This is the glorious history of the Banchen people, that is, the Banchen barbarians. When Liu Bang was the king of Hanzhong, in order to restore the Three Qin Dynasties, he recruited a large number of powerful Banchen barbarians from Bajun into the Han army.

After Liu Bang pacified the world, these Banzhen barbarians did not want to live in Chang'an and returned to Badi. Because of their military exploits, Liu Bang granted him the right to command seven surnames: E, Luo, Pu, Zan, Du, Xi, and Gong. Rent tax.

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was very fond of these banzhen barbarians who had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. He ordered musicians to learn and adapt their dances. Because the barbarians lived in the Yushui area of ​​​​Bajun, they called this dance the Bayu dance.

After Bayu dance was introduced to the court, it became a palace dance. It was used to perform military battle scenes at palace banquets and praise the emperor's merits. It was a famous miscellaneous dance in the Han Dynasty.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhang walked up to Shen Mi, poured a glass of wine for Shen Mi himself, picked it up with both hands and handed it to Shen Mi, and said with a smile: "After such meritorious deeds, Wen Yuan is such a strong man, it's a big surprise. .”

Facing such a courteous corporal, Shen Mi was a little panicked, but he calmed down after a moment. He took the wine glass with both hands respectfully, drank it all in one gulp, and then turned the glass upside down to show that he had finished drinking.

"What a great husband." Liu Zhang praised.

Unlike barbarians such as the Xiongnu and Wuhuan who harmed the Han, although the Banchen barbarians are also called barbarians, they are more often the loyal thugs of the Han.

The Banzhen Barbarians not only made great contributions when the Western Han Dynasty was founded. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Banzhen Barbarians also made many military exploits for the court. They twice defeated the Qiang people who infiltrated into Hanzhong and Shu during the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou, making the Qiang people call them The "magical soldiers" dare not enter Bashu again.

Historically, the Shu Han also recruited a large number of Banzhen barbarians. Wang Ping, the Shu Han general who was born in Danqu, Brazil, might be a Banzhen barbarian.

'Use it for me. 'Liu Zhang became interested in recruiting.
