.Chapter 85 Eve (2)

Li Wei sent his guard Qin Shiba to inform Heichi Changzhi.

The only requirement is that you have to be fast, and you can give me as fast as you can. Otherwise, when the autumn is bright and cool, the weather is good and suitable for travel. But it is time for the people who are fleeing famine in Qinghai to return to Guanzhong.

Qin Shiba had this name, so his family must be in poor condition, but he performed well in the Battle of Qinghai and fled with Li Wei, so he asked Li Wei to keep him by his side. After hearing Li Wei say it, he almost rushed towards Qinghai without stopping.

When Tang Monk went to India to obtain scriptures, it was very painful. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet truly managed the Western Regions, and the range of the radiation was only to Kucha, so it was difficult to go and come. However, after the Tang Dynasty took down the Western Regions, there was a complete post road. This was also forced by the form. The Western Regions were far away and there was no good post road, so the news could not be notified to the court as soon as possible.

Not only are there complete post roads, but there are also various post stations, like several pearl chains, distributed in the north and south of the Western Regions, with more than 6,000 miles from Shucheng City to Qinghai. He sent the letter to Heiqi Changzhi within half a month.

Black-toothed Changzhi was waiting for this letter.

He was not only in contact with Li Wei, but also in contact with Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui was also very busy.

The impact of this disaster in Guanzhong was so bad that even Chang'an flew in to dense locusts. With multiple adjustments, the grain price in Chang'an City finally exceeded 30 cents per bucket and 40 cents in remote places. After a little slowdown, the handicraftsmen could barely make a living. This refers to the handicraftsmen in the city, but what should the farmers outside the city do?

Autumn comes, and there is no harvest. If you have to wait for the harvest, you must survive until May next year. If winter comes, the people will still be unable to survive.

And when autumn comes, winter is coming. The river water in the canal is shallow, and after autumn, it is even more difficult to transport food to Guanzhong. So he used his power to transport food from Shannan to Jianghuai to Guanzhong without any chance. This pressure is very great. There are as many millions of people in Guanzhong. How much food should they consume every day? The transportation of other places is part of it, mainly relying on local food. In history, this disaster has affected the coming year. Li Zhi was ineffective and wanted to "return to his roots". As a result, he saw that the form of Guanzhong was not optimistic. When he returned to Chang'an, he returned with his family members and envoys from various countries, tens of thousands or even nearly 100,000 people. So he had to continue staying in Luoyang until he died of illness.

How to relieve it in the end? When hunger comes, people die, and tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people die. The population decreases, and the group that lacks the most food. It is not until the next year that Wu Ze is sovereign, that Guanzhong gradually regains its vitality.

After many changes, the harm caused is less than that in history. At least the people who died will definitely not be as many as in history. If there is no other change, Guanzhong will recover by the harvest next summer. So Liu Rengui wrote a letter to Heichi Changzhi, "I have to persevere, and the people will find ways to stay in Qinghai and cannot be repatriated."

There is no counting how many people flee to Qinghai, and there are more than 500,000 people who can be verified, and the actual number may exceed more than 100,000 and more than 200,000. So many people are repatriated immediately, and another locust plague is undoubtedly coming. You cannot send them back, at least they will be left until they are received next summer.

After seeing the letter, Heichi Changzhi couldn't help but curse: "Big Mother."

In the past six months, almost all the surplus grain in Qinghai wasted. He could not bear the burden. The court continuously transported coins and cloth to Qinghai. It was cheaper to obtain local materials. The highest amount of rice in Guanzhong was more than 100 ci, while the lowest amount of rice in Qinghai was only 3 or 4 ci, which made the disaster victims' lives a little more than 200 ci. However, the cost was cheaper than that in Guanzhong. But if the food continued, Qinghai would definitely be insufficient. If the victims returned, Qinghai would have to support the food on the way. Otherwise, the movement of these hundreds of thousands of people would have no food to eat, and they would have to reverse the consequences. They would not dare to bear the consequences.

And what did so many refugees bring to public security? Almost all the officials were busy. Or there was still a way to go to the Western Regions, but the people were unwilling to go, and Heichi Changzhi could not force them. He persuaded them, and persuaded them to 40,000 to 50,000 people and prepared food. This was the first group of people who moved to Suye City. However, with less than 40,000 to 50,000 people, the situation in Qinghai still could not be resolved. Just then, Li Wei's letter was delivered.

After reading the letter, Hei Teeth Changzhi was overjoyed.

I don’t know what harm pyramid schemes bring, but I only see this method is wonderful.

Arrange immediately.

First, I will send people to promote the victims. If you have the conditions, you will return to Guanzhong by yourself. I will not stop you. However, the situation in Guanzhong is not good. Liu Xianggong wrote a letter and thought that you would better go back after receiving it next summer. Now you will probably be dead. This may not be the case. But if you go back together, the situation in Guanzhong will be very bad. So Liu Rengui wants them to stay in Qinghai and share the pressure between the two places. Without these hundreds of thousands of people returning to Guanzhong, the pressure on rescue will be light.

It is not that the court is not bad. Such a big disaster can't be withstood in that dynasty or region. In order to save the disaster, the court allocated more than three million yuan of subsidies from the treasury. It also needs to continue to soft-posting until next year. Although Li Zhi was so impatient that he continued to be Fengshan under such a broad background, he did a good job. It is precisely because of this attitude that there has not been a large-scale uprising in Guanzhong people now and in history. It is also rare.

As long as the people continue to stay in Qinghai, Guanzhong will be able to recover its vitality in advance by next summer. Once all of them come back, they will not be able to recover their vitality next summer, and the officials in Guanzhong will suffer this winter.

The people in the middle didn't know about all kinds of things, but Liu Rengui wrote such words on black and white paper and stamped his seal. Some literate people among the victims also spread the matter. Then they took out the letter written by Li Wei and showed it to everyone. If they saw that, the emperor gave you a guarantee.

You only have a few ways to go. The first one is back to Guanzhong, but I will not stop you, but I will not provide you with food to go back. This is not that you don’t save you, let you go back, it is that you harm you and the court. Either settle in Qinghai, squeeze in, and at most, there will be a 50,000 or 60,000 or 70,000 or 80,000 people, which is the limit of Qinghai. Or go to Shuye, I provide food to support Shuye, and a lot of things happened in Dashi. The people of Khurashan were in an uprising, which caused the Governor of Khurashan not to invade the Hezhong area for more than two years. Therefore, a lot of food was stored in the Hezhong area, so you don’t have to worry.

There was no deception. Some well-informed people had heard that the court sent a large number of goods from Guanzhong and transported them to the Western Regions. The first batch of goods had arrived in the Hexi Corridor. Even the goods were transferred from Jiannan to Jiannan to Shuye, and they had to pass through Qinghai. The people also saw it. It turned out that they didn't know the reason. After comparison, even the people could understand that they were exchanging food with the countries in Hezhong.

Or you stay in Qinghai and wait slowly. Winter is coming soon. You know how cold Qinghai is. Qinghai is so big, and you have so many people. I don’t have the ability to build houses for all of you, send quilts and charcoal. Then you starve to death and freeze to death, and you can’t blame me. What to do, you can solve it yourself.

But some people still heard that the price of grain in Guanzhong gradually dropped and returned to Guanzhong. However, most people continued to stay in Qinghai and hesitate. Heiqi Changzhi used his second killer move to select a group of good-mouthed and good-sounding kung fu from the victims to teach this pyramid scheme.

I dare not delay it.

Qinghai is harvesting, and this task is almost completed. September is coming soon, and it is half past September. They must let all the ones that should be gone, otherwise they will not be able to leave even if they want to leave.

This disaster in Guanzhong was a misfortune of the people of Guanzhong, but it had an important impact on the future of the Tang Dynasty. Soon after, the most spectacular migration of the Central Plains people in history appeared in the Western Regions.

...

Immigration in Qinghai was an important layout of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions in the future, and had nothing to do with Kang Dahu, An Zhengshi, and Shi Yidu.

They led ten subordinates to set out from Suye City, through Julan City, Talas, Shiguo, and Kang Kingdom to the Anguo capital Peiken (Braha, Uzbekistan). Then they led from Peiken City to Moufu (also translated as Mulu, Turkmenistan Malf).

This is the most important city in former Persia and the most important gateway to the countries in the river. In the range of the power between the Dashi and the Tang Dynasty, one is the Fuyu City of Tochar, the east to Tochar, the north to Shiguo and Kang State, and the other is the Moufu City.

Its geographical location has become the key object of Li Wei's inspection.

The climate of Moufu City is very extreme. In summer, it is like a brazier, with temperature difference of at least ten degrees higher than the Broken Leaf. In winter, it is very cold and the temperature is as low as that of Broken Leaf City. However, by September, the climate is very pleasant, with clear autumn and clear air and cloudless. Similarly, desertification has begun, and it is not as serious as in later generations. It is surrounded by small rivers, which create oasis one by one. This makes the Moufu area an important food and animal husbandry base in Khorasan.

Three lieutenants, with ten subordinates, in Peiken City, more than 20 camels sent by Empress Dowager Anguo, as well as some goods, and two death soldiers who were proficient in multiple languages, came to a low hill. After passing this hill, not far south was the city of Moufu.

Because the river was wet and the hills were covered with trees with green onions. Looking at the sun, Kang Dahu waved his hand and asked everyone to stop. He took out a few pieces of cured meat, set a pile of fire on the spot, skewers of the cured meat with wooden sticks, and placed them on the fire to barbecue.

Fifteen people sat on the stone, and Kang Dahu ordered some precautions before he had lunch.

Starting again, crossing the hills and reaching the Damwang River, it is a small river that is difficult to find on the map. The river water is shallow and covered with gravel, but the river water is clear, and the river bank is full of lush grass. In the distance are crop fields, but it has been harvested, leaving only an infinite space. The grass is half green and half yellow, and you can see herders rushing cattle and sheep to grazing from time to time.

After slapping the horses, they rushed down the river. The horses and camels splashed with splashes of water and crisp sounds, and they went to the shore. After a while, they arrived at the city gate. There was a long queue at the gate, and more than a dozen big-foot soldiers were checking fiercely. More than a dozen people were also lined up in the brigade entering the city. After a while, they were in a treacherous mentality, they paid a considerable amount of entry tax or other commercial taxes. Anyway, the dead soldiers of Anguo were talking to the big-foot soldiers, and Kang Dahuzi couldn't understand a word. After the conversation, the soldiers opened their camels fiercely, checked them in a mess, and waved their hand and actually let them into the city easily.

This is caused by a special background.

During the war in Salem, Khorasan and Sestan's rebel army made him lose his temper. However, he did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would suddenly change its previous policies and would attack Khorasan's idea. In addition, the movement to liberation of Persia and oppose the great food launched by the Ni Nishima also distracted him.

Li Wei's evaluation of the Ni Niez master was still mediocre. The great cannibals occupied all Persia, but they only occupied them. Many places were still vacuum areas. For example, Sestan, which were moving several powerful rebels. It took decades for the great cannibals to barely suppress these rebels. Although Khorasan was not as good as Sestan, the people also opposed the rule of the great cannibals. In addition, in the Persian expedition to the east in Duronstan (now Surrey, Iran)

Based on his unique terrain, the general surrounded the mountains on three sides and leaned against the small sea (Castan Sea) in the north, resisted the big food for generations, and did not annihilate it until the black-clothed big food rose. At this time, as long as the Ni Nishima was not afraid of death, he went to Jiling City and waved the banner, the eastern Iraq region was lost for a long time, but at least the people of Khorasan and Sestan were excited and it was very likely that the Persian state would be re-established. But he only stayed in Tocharo, shaking the flag and shouting, and the effect was much reduced.

It is not useless. It is his waving flags and shouting that the uprising of Khorasan and Sestan is greater than before. This has divided Salem's heart. Furthermore, the business atmosphere of Dashi is strong and the policies for merchants are very generous. Of course, you have to pay taxes first. So this time, Li Wei sent more than 300 scouts, almost all of whom were in the name of merchants and successfully sneaked into Khorasan and Sestan's territory. Dozens of people even went to the farther Baghdad, Damascus and Medina.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a team of big food soldiers escorting more than a dozen people towards the city gate, shouting something along the way.

"What did they say?" Kang Dahu asked in a low voice to Gu Zhutan of Anguo. Along the way, they were also learning the language of Persians and cannibals, but they still couldn't understand it after a short time.

Gu Zhutan listened and said, "General Qibing, did you see the two young people in front of the prisoners? They sneaked into the home of an official in Dashi last night to assassinate the official, but were not successfully arrested. Today, the Dashiren arrested their whole family again and took them to the city gate to behead him, so that he would be killed."

"So that's it," Kang Dahu didn't ask again. Dashi wanted to rule, and you ordinary people wanted to kill their officials. It would be strange if the bigshi people didn't come and kill them. He took the initiative to lead the camels and horses to the side of the street and dodge the road.

He had this idea, but the Persians on both sides of the street showed anger in their eyes. They were forced to be angry but dared not speak out due to the might of the cannibalism.

After a while, the group of people arrived at the city gate. With a scimitar, they killed more than a dozen Persians, and then shouted again. The crowd dispersed. Kang Dahu continued to walk into the city, came to an inn, booked a cross-yard, and settled down. Then he asked Gu Zhutan to ask the owner of the inn, because there was another Tang Dynasty scout, Miranda, who lived in the inn. After many days, his companions went back to report the news, but he did not go back.

On the eve of the war, one was determined and the other was unprepared. The first step was that the people of the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand.

I asked easily. But Miranda was not in the store and went out.

I had to wait, but it was soon evening and Miranda came back.

A few people met and moved him to this cross-campus. Kang Dahuzi explained his future intention. Tofu is very important, so if you want to fight with Dashi, you must not only understand its information, but also have to know more detailed information, such as the distribution of troops in the Tofu City and the entire Tofu area, food, production, terrain, the people's opinions on the rule of the Great Cannibal, whether there is a resistance force, the equipment of the Great Cannibal and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the deployment situation in the city, and even the military force composition of other areas of Tofu, and various key roads, etc. These are all things to be understood. Therefore, Li Wei sent more than a dozen scouts to Tofu City as spies.

"It's a little difficult," Miranda said.

It is easy to understand the information about the issue. One is determined and the other is unprepared. You can always find an opportunity to talk. Just find an excuse to bribe it, and then invite it to have a drink, and you can get some information. For example, the situation of Guanzhong cannibalism received by Li Wei is not that simple, but it is easier than this request.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "But I heard a news that the general of the Great Food Guard in Moufu City is very greedy, and it is all an opportunity, but..."

They came out to pretend to be merchants, and Li Wei also gave a lot of gold and silver, but they did not really come to do business. These gold and silver jewelry were for them to buy news. Some had heavy tasks, such as dozens of scouts who went to Dashi's abdomen, who brought more gold and silver. Some were active in marginal areas, such as Miranda and others, who brought less gold and silver. Perhaps Kang Dahushou also brought a batch of money, but Miranda didn't ask. If you want to make friends with Dashi, you must pretend to be a big businessman. Can Kang Dahushou bring so much money?

Kang Dahushou was also thinking deeply, and after a while, he said, "When I entered the city, I saw something. Two Persians wanted to assassinate the official of the Great Food, but were arrested by the Great Food, and beheaded at the gate of the city to show their heads."

"This kind of thing happens from time to time," Miranda said lightly.

"I thought of a way, are there any big cannibal officials or businessmen nearby, and there are fewer guards at home."

"Person Kang, you want to..."

“Yes, why not do it?”

"What are you doing?" Gu Baotan asked.

"Prince Kang means that it is the first half of the crescent moon now, and it is dark in the second half of the night, and sneaks into a certain place..." Shi Yifu replied.

"This..." Gu Zhutan was stunned, but he felt relieved for a while. The bravery of the Tang Dynasty army, and the other word of courage also represents courage. It is not surprising that he dared to do such a thing.

"There are one people, but he is not a Persian, he meets this condition, and there are less than ten guards, as well as a dozen servants and a few families in his family," Miranda said after thinking for a while. There are Persians who resisted Dashi and Persians who surrendered Dashi. Miranda refers to a Persian merchant who is willing to surrender Dashi. He is rich and powerful, so he is afraid of death. In order to show his support for Dashi, he also married his daughter to the lord of Moufu and became a concubine.

.So Abra, the lord of the city of Moufu, gave him a small official position, so the Persian people in the city despise him very much.

"Did it," said Kang Dabei.

Their merchants are Xibei goods. If they were really allowed to do business, they would definitely lose their pants. But the director of the murder was theirs. More than a dozen people immediately decided, then made some discussions, and quietly went to the Persian merchant's mansion and looked around carefully.

Soon the third hour came, and the moon gradually stopped falling down the west mountain. The night was dark, leaving three people to respond. More than a dozen other people quietly climbed out of the courtyard wall. In the second half of the night, there were patrolling soldiers and Persian pseudo-soldiers on the street. However, the city of Moufu is an ancient city, standing for hundreds of years, and there are even half-man, half-horse and female-headed lion stone sculptures left by the Roman invasion. There are also terracotta statues of the Anshu and stone sculptures of Persians. The city is complex, and more than a dozen people use complex houses to hide from time to time. After a while, they come to the back garden of the Persian merchant's mansion. Others flash to the house opposite the garden, a Masili. Shi Yifu and a subordinate quietly touched the courtyard wall of the garden. He set up a ladder and quickly climbed up the wall. He lay on the wall and looked at it for a while, then waved to the opposite side.

"Go!" Kang Dawei shouted.
Chapter completed!
