Things like fickleness are not only for monkeys, nor are they only targeting stupid people. They also apply to those who have read scriptures and are proficient in politics.
When the entire Han Dynasty began to dig corners of the Western Regions, the Huns who had already penetrated their tentacles into the Western Regions early, that is, the Dumao of the Boys, did not know whether they did not feel the small hoe waving by the Han Dynasty, or did not care at all. Anyway, there was no action for a long period of time, and there was no countermeasure.
It can be seen from this that the establishment of the military and political institutions of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions was actually very simple. It was not until the Han people established the Protectorate in the Western Regions that the Xiongnu were under pressure and followed the Han people to send a large-scale army deep into the Western Regions, and began to farm near the Cheshihou Kingdom...
With the political system of the Huns at that time, it was impossible to complete the political system of colonial form, and even in the post-Mongolian era. Because there was a clear step between the tribal alliance and the feudal dynasty, it would be natural that it would be unstable if it could not climb up.
During the entire process of the Xiongnu influencing the Western Regions, most of the time it was subject to restraints according to its own tribal alliance system, and the lieutenant was dispatched and taxes were collected regularly. The Xiongnu allowed the Western Regions to take care of other internal affairs and even diplomatic matters. At the same time, the Xiongnu allowed the rulers of the Western Regions to participate in political activities such as nomadic tribes such as alliance meetings. This was actually not a colonial relationship between the sect leader and the vassal, but more like the black boss collecting protection fees.
As for the entire process of the Huns and Han competing for the Western Regions, it was more like a community snatching territory...
Looking back at the Han Dynasty, setting up a Protectorate in the Western Regions, responsible for the jurisdiction of many city-states and states around the Tarim Basin. The post chief, city chief, lord, supervisor, history, great fortune, hundreds of chief, thousand chief, commander, Qiqu, official, general, prime minister, and king all wore Han seals and ribbons, with 376 people.
It seems a lot, but in fact, these 376 people are really spread to such a large area in the Western Regions. How many people can be considered? The Han Dynasty turned these people, that is, these "376 people", on the surface, into officials of the Protectorate's Office, but in fact these people did not receive any specific salary, which is basically equivalent to the temporary workers of the Han Dynasty. Who is the big one?
And what is very interesting is that the Han Dynasty enthroned these city-state rulers and included them in the tribute system earlier than the opening of the Western Regions Protectorate. In other words, these so-called protectorate officials were first, and then the Protectorate...
From this perspective, the early Han Dynasty's attitude towards the Western Regions was actually no different from the strategies adopted by the Huns. The boss did not laugh at the second one.
In the early days, no one understood it, and there was no problem with this, but it was obvious that the knowledge system and cultural structure of the Han Dynasty were much higher than that of the Huns. After realizing the importance of the Western Regions, they still used the tactic of adding fuel, which made people feel that there were major mistakes in the overall strategy.
What was the purpose of the Han Dynasty's establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate and its initial positioning?
contain.
Beat Doudou, uh, beat the Huns.
That's right, this was the purpose of the Han Dynasty's initial opening of the Western Regions, but in this process, the Han Dynasty did not gain benefits from the Silk Road?
"Gongda, let's talk about the benefits of the Western Regions." Fei Qian said to Xun You indifferently.
Xun You nodded his head and took out a book of this article from his sleeve, and opened it and said: "Lashes, porcelain, silk, silk, etc. are all for profit. Since the Han Chamber of Commerce established, the official lacquerware sold a total of 120,000 pieces, ranging from dozens to hundreds of coins, totaling more than 40,000 s. "
『Officially introduced porcelain sold in total…』
『Silk sales...』
Xun You said little by little.
From workers at the place of origin, workshop supply, to production quantity, and finally to sales income, a certain project does not seem to be very large, but in the end, Fei Qian unknowingly sold nearly one million yuan of goods to takeout through the opening of Western Regions trade. Of course, these values ​​are not pure income, but also cost and miscellaneous expenses.
After Xun You finished speaking, he glanced at Fei Qian. Seeing that Fei Qian had no additional statements, he let others pass on the book, and then added calmly, "In addition to the items introduced by the Han Chamber of Commerce, there are also private dealers among the people, which has not been included yet."
Even so, Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who had finally had the opportunity to attend the meeting, were amazed. Looking at Xun You's documentary, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Xun You only talked about export sales, did not mention in-house purchases, and other profits from the introduction of labor, but just the total of export projects is enough to explain some problems.
Brothers, they still settle accounts clearly. Xun You did not report the profits of Fei Qian's goods sold on behalf of the Western Regions, but also to prevent Guo Tu and Feng Ji from spreading it so that the whole world knew about it after they knew it.
As for the high profits of goods sold to the Western Regions, it has not been one day or two. The great man knows it for three or four hundred years, and the one who pays the most attention to this profit is the Shandong people who are the great man.
It can be said that it is precisely because of such high profits that the people in Shandong in the Han Dynasty deliberately suppressed themselves and used self-harm. Well, perhaps in Shandong people, this method is not considered self-harm...
Just like in later generations, I suddenly wanted to promote the kind of milk drink that blends milk and water-mixed chemicals at a certain stage, and later called a flavored drink, a vigorous academic paper about what kind of lactose intolerance is developed for Chinese and even Asians. A large-scale discussion was conducted. Then some companies jumped out to express that they developed new water-mixed compounds drinks to address this issue, which are the same as the taste of milk and absolutely no lactose!
This is true. There is really no lactose at all. Well, there is no other nutrition either, but they will only emphasize the first half. Those who are a little more brain-like know that they claim that no matter whether it is 60% or even 90%, or even 90%, or even more exaggeratedly, or what percentage of 99%, or what percentage of gene sequences, etc., to prove that Asians are not suitable for lactose. Adults and children have lactose intolerance. I never thought about how the nomads in Asia survived for thousands of years in history?
Another point is that not only does cow and goat milk contain lactose, but also human milk.
All those who do not talk about specific quantities are hooligans.
Absolutely, there must be problems.
People from the Han and Shandong became hooligans during the Eastern Han Dynasty. These people exaggerated the problems in the Western Regions and then avoided the problems of profits, saying that there is no benefit to recover the Western Regions at all, so it is better to lose them. Is it really no benefit? Not that, but it just does not have more benefits to Shandong.
Once the Western Regions become important, economic development and business prosperity will mean that it will drive the three servants of Chang'an to revitalize it. How can this be accepted by Shandong people who have finally stood around the emperor? So they would not hesitate to self-harm and cut off the Western Regions. On the surface, they proclaimed that they are loyal, and only agriculture is the foundation of China. Business is done by bitches, and they are inferior professions, and then secretly become officials and businessmen.
To finish the topic, those who shout loudly every day, advocating that agriculture and sericulture are the foundation of China are basically the landlord class. For their interests in the land, they will not hesitate to move towards China and dig holes. After all, if China really goes out, the total amount of land will definitely increase, and then the housing price, uh, cough, the unit price of land acres will definitely not be maintained!
"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were the key. The land of the Western Regions was the country Zhangye. The Western Regions Protectorate was born. Fei Qian pointed to the simple book that recorded the profits of the Western Regions trade and said, "However, from the date of establishment of the Protectorate, there were many inconveniences, information was not communicated, and orders were not reached. The affairs of the Western Regions were different from those of the Central Plains. Therefore, there were often exceptions in military and political affairs. Even if there were Ban Dingyuan's loyalty, there were also Ban Yiliao's suspicion. As the saying goes, Dingyuan Kang was dedicated to Xixia. He was flat and steadily, and he was slow to fight against anger, and his courage was the burden..."
"The same is true for the Western Regions Protectorate." Fei Qian looked around for a week, "However, since he saw this, there should be a countermeasure. In the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions had been in the long-term and repeatedly. It only talked about the faults of the soldiers and generals and shirking the local faults is not the ability of a wise man, nor is it a long-term strategy. You can discuss this matter, and there is no need to avoid it."
…(*`ェ′*)…
Western Regions, the camp outside Xihai City.
"General Zhang...all this...all this shouldn't have happened..."
"Yes, we don't want this either..."
Zhang Liao followed the military academies who expressed their apology to the camp.
At first, Zhang Liao thought these military academies really had a regret, but he suddenly realized that things seemed not that simple.
Several military academies fell to the ground, kowtowed and cried loudly.
"Yes, General Zhang, we don't want this either..."
The military academy general bowed his head and told him.
After crying for a while, only my distorted face was left and no tears of regret.
The surname of the pegman kneeling in front of him is Ma. It is said that he is Ma Yan's relative, but it seems that he has not been recognized by Ma Yan, but it has nothing to do with it. This does not prevent the pegman from bragging.
Now, Ma Jian's previous bragging skills seem to be gradually being used.
『General Zhang, we can't blame us all for this matter...』
Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Then tell me, I'll listen."
『It was General Wei's fault!』 The general of Ma said, 『He withdrew our military pay! General Zhang, this is true! If General Wei had not deducted our military pay, we would not have reached this point today!』
Zhang Liao looked at Ma Danjiang deeply, then turned his eyes to the other three officers.
Among the other three officers, Jinxi has the highest qualification and the oldest position. When he saw Zhang Liao looking over, he lowered his head and said, "General Wei has indeed deducted our military pay. Since last year, the military pay has been paid inadequately... It is difficult for the food, clothing and expenses of the men in the army to think that since the superiors have done this...
As he spoke, Jinxi raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Liao quietly. Seeing Zhang Liao narrowing his eyes and glaring at him, his two deep and invisible eyes flashed with a faint light. Jinxi suddenly burst into tears and said, "... Actually, we have a responsibility, and we can't get rid of it..." After stopping, he felt that it was still wrong to say this, and added, "...I'm sorry to the brothers here. I'm just stupid, and I didn't think of any good idea at that time..."
"What can I do if I think of a good way?" Before Jinxi finished speaking, the conversation was interrupted by the horse. The horse was clenched with his fist, and he kept pinching it tightly. The veins on his hands also appeared and disappeared. "If you want to blame, you can only blame the enemy! We are all soldiers who eat wages. What should we do if we lose the military wages? We can't eat soil and drink wind! General Zhang, we do have responsibility for this matter, but more responsibility is not ours, and we are also wronged! Unjust!"
When Ma Sang said this, Jin Xi couldn't help but feel a little confused. His skin trembled a few times, turned blue, purple and white. His lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't scold and refute. He lowered his head with a little shame, dared not look directly at Zhang Liao's gaze, and stopped talking.
Zhang Liao turned his gaze, looked at the general of Ma, and smiled, "Since that's the case, who do you think the responsibility of this "upper" is the problem? Is it just General Wei?"
"Uh..." Ma Side shook his eyes, "This... Since General Zhang has asked this... I'm also bold enough to say that these are also the issues of the Protector..."
The general looked at Zhang Liao with no grief or joy. He did not seem angry because he said Lu Bu, nor did he stop him because of this. He was more courageous. "General! The root of this matter is the Great Protector! What would General Wei do? He can't do anything, and he can't even do basic training, so... the Great Protector really has a responsibility for this matter! If he hadn't indulged General Wei, how could General Wei dare to be so arrogant and domineering?"
Zhang Liao laughed twice and nodded, "It makes sense, well, it makes sense, continue, continue... Is there anything else I want to add?"
When the horse general heard Zhang Liao agree, he couldn't help but feel a little straight. "Actually, I'm sorry for my subordinates being disrespectful. General Cavalry is also responsible for this matter!"
Zhang Liao's eyebrows moved, but his smile did not change much. "Oh? This statement...is something interesting. Do you want to tell me in detail?"
"The current situation in the Western Regions, the General of the Cavalry will not be unaware of it? Every day, General Wei does this, and the Protector ignores it. General of the Cavalry can always take charge, right? We are all soldiers under General of the Cavalry! If the General of the Cavalry is not indulged in, how could he be the Protector of the Protector? If the Protector does not relax, how could he give General Wei the opportunity to deduct military pay? "The general of the Protector becomes more and more excited as he speaks. "So, in the final analysis, it is the fault of General of the Cavalry! General of the Cavalry intends to indulge the Protector, which leads to all this!"
Zhang Liao pinched his beard and nodded, "What you said... is really interesting... Well, do you think all this in the Western Regions... is the fault of General Hunting?"
"Uh, this... this is not what my subordinates think so, but what my subordinates think so. My subordinates just say what their subordinates think..." The general also smiled, "The people of the three servants in Chang'an are destined. Isn't the people of the Western Regions life a life? The soldiers in Chang'an are good men, aren't the soldiers in the Western Regions good men? I don't believe it, uh, no, it's all of us who think that this matter in the Western Regions has not been discovered for a day or two. How could the General of the Cavalry not have discovered it at all? If it were discovered, why not stop it? If the General of the Cavalry could stop the Protector earlier and investigate General Wei, wouldn't there be any such things? So many people would not die, and the people would not suffer..."
『So... in the final analysis, it was all the fault of General Huo Cavalry?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but move his eyebrows and laughed twice, "Do you think that all this in the Western Regions is not managed well, not corrected in time, not dealt with immediately, and even deliberately indulged... Is that true? From what you said, it seems that it is indeed the problem of General Huo Cavalry...』
The horse general couldn't help but chuckled, "This is all the men's thoughts... I just retelled and summarized..."
The horse will like to involve himself in something. This may be because he has always claimed that he is related to Mayen, but there is no substantial connection. He feels that only when he pastes it on something, he will appear to have more value. This leads to the first thing he thinks about after he makes a mistake is not his own problem, but someone else's fault.
It was Wei Xu who harmed it, Lu Bu, Fei Qian who harmed it, and the world who harmed it, and he himself could continue to play the role of the victim, and he accused others of pity, and everything was harmed by others. He grabbed everything around him and dragged all these people into the water to relieve his guilt or reduce his guilt.
Isn’t Zhang Liao awesome? Can you deal with Wei Xu, Lu Bu, or even hold Fei Qian responsible? If you can’t, then you are just chasing my mistakes, just because they are not good enough or thorough enough? Then you have the opportunity to accuse Zhang Liao of being timid, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, etc., and finally reach the highest level of turning big things into small things...
『But...』 Zhang Liao smiled, 『I also have a small problem... A poor man has no money to buy food, so he killed someone on the way, robbed money to buy food, and was caught, and the poor said that this was not his fault. The wrong thing was that the store did not see that he had no money, so he gave him a bite of food first. The wrong thing was that the government did not stop him when he was going to kill people, and the wrong thing was that the world did not do the most profitable thing for him! Or a child, when he was at home, he was in charge of his parents and taught him, so naturally everything was good. Now that the child has grown up, he walked out of the house and went outside, and then did something wrong, the child turned around and said that the parents didn't say it, he didn't care, he didn't teach well, everything was the responsibility of the parents? How about it, do you think this statement is right or wrong?』
The smile on his face gradually disappeared. The hand he had been holding was spreading, and then shook it back twice invisibly.
Zhang Liao's eyes turned to the big tent, and there seemed to be a figure shaking and disappeared.
『Hmph...』 Zhang Liao snorted softly, 『Now he knew that it was the cavalry who was not taught, and he didn't talk about it, and he didn't care? Then what is the law of corruption there? Even if there is no law of corruption, what is the three rules of the Han Dynasty's first agreement? The murderer pays his life! Could it be that Taizu blamed him for not teaching you in front of him!』
The general also sank his face and stood up, "General Zhang... It's boring to say this... When the Protector arrived in the Western Regions, the Cavalry should have known that the Protector was protecting his shortcomings. General Wei was greedy and afraid of trouble, but the General Cavalry still sent generals to come! This was the people from the Protector to the Western Regions and ignored us! It was to kill us! General Zhang, this was always right!"
