Chapter 86: Hu Wuren Han Daochang (One update)

The next morning, heavy snow was still rising. Su Dingfang came to ask Chen Ying if he was sending troops in the snow. Chen Ying thought about marching in the snow. Even if there were snow sleds and tents to keep warm, some of the soldiers were affected outside. Whether it was the Ninth Division of Zhaowu or the soldiers of the Tang army, they were all raised by their parents. They were frostbite and frozen, and they were always unbeautiful.

Chen Ying pondered: "Cao Dan, how long will the snow fall?"

Cao Dan whispered: "General Chen, the snow in the Western Regions falls every day and will not stop until the sun comes out!"

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

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

The dawn of the Western Regions was originally later than that of the Central Plains. Now it will take another one and a half hours to set off until noon, so it will be difficult to reach Gaochang City in this way.

Chen Ying said: "Then let's go now!"

When Su Dingfang heard the order, he mobilized the army. More than 20,000 troops left the camp outside Gaoche City and headed towards Gaochang City in the northwest.

When the Gaochang State Order Yin saw this scene, his eyes flashed with an uneasy look. But Qu Wentai was shocked: "Please calm down the anger of the general, Qu Wentai is willing to be dealt with by the general!"

"Dispose?" Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "You are thinking too much. Your Qu family, the world's capital, will protect hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of our Chinese clan, and will make contributions to the people and the country. This general will not deal with you. On the contrary, this is to give you a great fortune!"

Although Chen Ying was not a so-called historical expert, he knew that the Western Regions had 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 chaos and the Central Plains was ravaged by the Hu tribe. However, Zhang Gui left Liangzhou and took the opportunity to establish the Liang Kingdom of Zhang Jun and Zhang Chonghua established the Western Regions Protectorate, and included the Western Regions under the rule of the Liang Kingdom. Later, the five countries of Former Qin, Later Liang, Western Liang, and Northern Liang have always ruled the Western Regions.

During the social unrest, the more impact it was, the greater the impact it was. At that time, the entire Central Plains was killed, with people rolling heads, blood flowing into rivers, white bones exposed, and nine out of ten chambers were empty. On the contrary, remote areas could be safe and peaceful, such as Liangzhou, during the Zhang reign, was relatively stable.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, two large-scale population migrations occurred in the Gaochang State long distance of the Central Plains. The first time was when the Liang Kingdom of Zhang was destroyed by the Former Qin Dynasty, the people of Gushu, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Hezhou and Shazhou fled westward on a large scale.

At that time, the Han people and Han people from all over the Western Regions who migrated to the former Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty all occupied their own territory. With the establishment of Gaochang State, the Han people from north and south of the Tianshan Mountains flocked to Gaochang State for refuge in the Western Regions. They depended on Gaoguochang, so Gaochang gradually became stronger.

Because the geographical situation here makes great use of the development of the agriculture and handicraft economy that the Han people are familiar with, the Han people who flow here adapt to the local natural geography and form the four counties, eighteen counties and forty-eight towns in Gaochang State.

When Gaoche King heard this, he shook his head and said, "General Chen doesn't know anything. What the Han people in Gaochang Country are grateful for the Qu family's grace for survival may not necessarily be. Almost all the Han people in Gaochang hate the Qu family for not dying!"

Hearing the poor Tang Yan of Gaochewang, Chen Ying figured it out for a while before he realized that of course he did not obey and believed it. Instead, he turned to Ma Mengming and asked, "What does he mean? Ma Lingyin explains it to me!"

"It's a silly thing, it's all nonsense!" Ma Mengming denied it, pointed at Gaochewang and roared: "You are turning black and white, pointing to the deer as white, slandering people with blood, despicable and shameless..."

Chen Yingchong Zhou Qing, who was beside him, said: "I came to Gaoche, but I haven't seen the Han clan yet. You are walking around the towns and towns around you, and ask the major families to send representatives to come and pay homage to me!"

Zhou Qing bowed and said, "Abide by the order!"

When Ma Mengming heard this, his face suddenly changed: "General... is wronged, and our country's master is forced to do so..."

When Chen Ying heard this, he didn't think with his big head, and even thought with his knees, he knew that the historical records might be wrong. I'm afraid the rumors are untrue.

Chen Ying's face slowly became gloomy: "You'd better explain it to this general, otherwise the Qu family would not have a chance to Chang'an!"

When Ma Mengming saw Chen Ying angry, he did not dare to hide it anymore and told Chen Ying.

It turned out that the first King of Gaochang, Qu Jia, Gaochang, Ma Ru, thought it was the right chief. In 497 AD (the 21st year of Taihe), King of Gaochang, Ma Ru, submitted a minister to Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and asked to support him. After accepting Ma Ru's request, he sent General Han Anbao to accept it and sever Yiwu's 500-mile land for Ma Ru to live in. However, Qu Jia secretly surrendered to the people of Rouran. He believed that Rouran was powerful and once Gaochang moved eastward, Rouran would definitely send an attack. The Northern Wei court could not relieve its near thirst. Yu, Qu Jia led his troops to rebel and killed Ma Ru to establish himself as king.

This was when the Qu family first gained Gaochang. Later, the Rouran people were weakened, especially the Khan of the Turkic Tumen defeated Rouran. Gaochang State surrendered to the Turks under the leadership of Qu Baomao, the King of Gaochang at that time.

After Gaochang surrendered to the Turks, he gained the opportunity 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, the taxes were naturally transferred to ordinary people.

The key is that Gaochang is a vassal of the Turks. Even if the Turks were just ordinary soldiers in Gaochang, they were also nobles. The Turks could get the wind and rain in Gaochang. However, the kings of the Qu family did not dare to anger the Turks, because they were afraid of revenge by the Turks.

So, a law was formulated. No matter what the Gaochang people had argued with the Turks, Gaochang first beat forty big blocks. If the forty big blocks were down, half of the life was left. If the life was weak, he was beaten to death at that time. King Gaochang was afraid of the Turks like a tiger, and officials at all levels were the same. Therefore, the Han people in Gaochang were third-class slaves in the Western Regions.

The first class is the noble Turks, the second class is the Hu people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the third class is the seven surnames such as Xue, Ma, Zhang, He, Liu, and Liu who ruled Gaochang with the Qu family.

Under the high-pressure rule of King Gaochang, the Han people in Gaochang could only swallow their anger in order to survive in the face of the provocations of the Turks. Gaochang State said it was a country with Han people as the main body, but in fact it was a country where right and wrong were not distinguished, the law was lost, the strong bully the weak, the Hu people bully the Han people, the evil people were rampant, and the good people could not rest assured.

There was indeed a custom of "robbing wives" in the Turks, allowing powerful young people to rob women from various places and tribes to be wives. This is a very despicable barbaric custom in the eyes of the Han people. In the Central Plains, not to mention that ordinary men from ordinary families would be sentenced to heavy sentences for robbing other people's wives, even the emperor did not dare to openly rob married women. However, in Gaochang, this behavior was accused of this kind of behavior. Of course, those who rob other people's wives would be considered a hero, and those who robbed others would be cowardly.
