"All Those Who Read My Poetry" Hanshan

Anyone who reads my poems must protect the heart.

Greedy continues to be honest, and flattery is immediately correct.

Eliminate evil karma and take refuge in the true nature.

Today, if you have obtained the Buddha's body, you will be as urgent as the law.

——I am the dividing line—

"Wait, Wang Yanzhang met several vassal troops to join him all the way in Huizhou (now Jingyuan, Gansu)?"

Zhou Huaian then looked at another letter with a little surprise, sending it back from the Baiting Guards of Huizhou. At this time when the autumn is about to harvest, shouldn't it be the window period for the vassals outside the border and the Hu tribes to rob the border? What the hell is it that he is coming to join the inner enemy at this time?

Then, after reading the specific content, he gradually understood the whole story. Perhaps Wang Yanzhang chased the remnant tail of the Western Army from the Battle of Danzheng Gorge and fought all the way to Huizhou. He suddenly received news of surrender in Liangzhou City.

As a result, his men and horses did not encounter any decent battles again. They almost surrendered along the way. Even the remnants of the Western Army scattered on both sides of the road went out of the mountains and forests to surrender under hunger and cold.

Therefore, when Wang Yanzhang's troops officially entered and took over Wuwei City, Liangzhou, not only did the army capture more than 30,000 prisoners, but even the Wenmo tribes in the eastern part of Liangzhou, who were lingering in Liangzhou, offered lambs, cattle wine to the Taiping Army without hesitation and expressed their surrender.

Therefore, after he had a little revision and supplemented here, his troops also expanded to nearly 30,000 again. In addition to the nine infantry and cavalry camps as the core headquarters, almost most of them were prisoners and newly recruited (cold weapons) auxiliary soldiers from the local people and the local people's army, so there were more than 3,000 cavalry soldiers.

Therefore, under the relative strength of the troops, he also began to clean up and manage the four sides to further consolidate the control of the Taiping Army in this Hexi protruding unit and the forward base. The first thing he did was to force the late Wen tribes in the eastern part of Wen to settle down and regain the Han family's clothing and language change customs.

This point was thought to be met with a fierce resistance and resistance, but had already made corresponding fierce measures to suppress the local Taiping Army; but it was a little too disgusted. Except for a few stubborn officials who dared not resist and fled far away, everyone accepted the new policy quite obediently.

It was only when we summarized that this was because the eastern Wendu lost too much Ding Zhuang (many people worked hard on construction sites and mines), and it was difficult to gather enough resistance. On the contrary, the loss of too many men led to serious weakness and became fat in the eyes of surrounding forces.

On the other hand, it is because of the essence and origin of the Wenmo tribe. The so-called Wenmo is not a specific ethnic group or concept, but a multi-ethnic people who fled one after another under the enslavement and oppression of Tubo, and they joined forces to protect themselves and cultivate and produce farming and pastoral production. Therefore, the real birth time was very short and only a few decades.

Therefore, the strong people who were able to win the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains were settled for the people, and it was a great thing to be sought after. Therefore, when a large number of women and children who had lost their backbone took the opportunity to pay the price, in just over a month, the process of great national integration suddenly moved a lot.

The process of taking over the Baishan Shou, Rongcheng, Chishui Army, Dadou Army, Jiaocheng Guard, Wu'an Shou, Xiu's Massacre and other military cities in Liangzhou's Jiedu, became very relaxed; it almost stopped until the Dadou Valley at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, which was adjacent to Ganzhou.

Wang Yanzhang, who was able to stabilize the situation initially, on the one hand, in accordance with Chang'an's instructions, sent a side division consisting of a battalion and two temporary battalions to escort Zhang Huaiding, the eldest son of Zhang Yichao, who had surrendered to the former Guiyi Army's Jiedushi, and went north to the Guiyi Army's sweet potato state to clean up and stabilize the situation.

On the other hand, they continued to send troops to take over and clean up those Yanbian city walls along the Dasha Trace (now south of the Jilin Desert in Badan, Inner Mongolia). The reactions of these remaining Yanbian soldiers and civilians became even more eager; the reason was very simple, and the court had not provided them with food and wages for a long time.

Although they rely on the local tradition of farming and self-farming, the crop yield in the border areas is not too high; at the same time, the seeds, tools and livestock are also required to buy money or other equivalents every year.

Therefore, after being ignored by the imperial court and vassal states for many years, many people who could run away had already run away one after another. When the Western Army joined forces to pass Liangzhou, they provided them with a batch of food and grass, but they also repatriated a group of young and strong people who had just grown up again.

Therefore, in these obviously disrepaired or partially collapsed Sailai border towns, the Taiping Army who went to search for it, saw the old white-haired soldiers and half-grown children and women on duty and working together. There were almost everywhere in various scenes of disconnection and discontinuation.

Among some whistle towers that were obviously abandoned due to insufficient manpower, many frontier herds and tribes had even lived in; although they saw this foreign army, they hurriedly claimed to be descendants of the city guarding the border for the Tang Dynasty for generations.

Therefore, at the banquet where Wang Yanzhang personally summoned the border soldiers and representatives of the elders, looking at the various wines, canned meat and canned fruits, some people burst into tears one after another, saying that the Central Plains court had been in chaos for a long time, and finally some people remembered the dead bones of their border guards.

Then, while drunk and drunk, these people couldn't help but complain that if the court no longer sent people to take over, they would be unable to succeed. Because, when the frontier was already full of men and few women, they would not even be able to steal the women of the vassal state in a few years.

Because of intermarriage with foreign vassal tribes (broken women) and lacking enough mother education, some of the new generation of young children cannot speak the complete Tang Dynasty. That is really a huge crisis of extermination of the clan and the species.

Therefore, during the subsequent re-entry process, the Yanbian military and civilians who had seriously exceeded the Taiping Army's service level almost actively signed up for it; because as long as they were included in this border household registration, they could get a subsidy for basic money and grain, and the full term was issued on the spot.

Therefore, in Wang Yanzhang's description, he even mentioned helplessly that many old bones who had already lying on the bed or who were still running noses were pulled out and sent to the temporary camp to pray for registration;

Then, many other people with obvious appearances were mixed up among them, and they also claimed to be descendants of the city loyal to the times and came to join the army. However, the people in the vassal tribes who lived in abandoned garrisons also received corresponding news.

However, Wang Yanzhang also accepted the people and then sent people to calculate the population and the number of cattle and horses according to their residence, and re-planned the defense zone and responsibilities. Then he left two garrison battalions, reorganized and retrained on the spot, and continued to go north and go deep into the Dasha Dunes under the guidance of the local government.

Along the Macheng River that flows into the desert, passing through the Mingwei Shu (near Minqin County, Gansu) where only two or three kittens were left on the former site of the Han Great Wall, more than a hundred miles northward, he arrived at the shulou that penetrated the northernmost end of the Great Sand Dunes, where Baiting Shouzhai, located between Xiutuze and Baiting Sea.

Here, there are also tenaciously defending the hundred and half of the old soldiers who are already gray-haired; but in addition to the main part of the army guarding the army, other beacon towers, saiying and Tuzhai have been occupied by the Zahu Fan tribe who migrated from the water and grass.

Then, at the suggestion of the subordinate Yuhou Officer, Wang Yanzhang sent many small teams led by the guides, and armed and threatened to summon the leaders of the vassal settlements that could be found nearby to Xiu Tuze one after another;

Then, he demonstrated the process of frying fish with explosives and catching fish in public, and after a full-fish feast, these people were busy with oaths to the heavens, and turned into the newly released loyal city of the Xin Dynasty and the vassal. Four tribes even asked to entrust them afterwards.

The reason is also very simple. They are all losers who were expelled from the struggles of their clans. The cattle and horses they carried were no longer enough to spend this long winter safely, but they could not even defeat those tribes that had been in the local area for a long time, so they could only sell their troops to the Central Plains regime.

This is also the traditional skill of the Li Tang Dynasty's generation outside the Great Wall, constantly attacking the newly rising powers on the grassland, and at the same time shelter and restrain the losers, as the leading party, and at the appropriate time, the major forces that may integrate the grassland will maintain relative stability under a limited balance of power.

Of course, like my later powerful country, Song Dynasty, I was constantly striving for self-improvement, but constantly striving for alliances and annual monies with tigers to consolidate the nomadic regimes that integrated the grasslands to the point of fattening and hitting themselves in the foot. This is also a unique and strange example in history.

Therefore, these alternating grassland forces have no way to pose enough threat to the Central Plains. Instead, in order not to form an overwhelming advantage by other tribes, they have to strive to pay tribute to the Central Plains regime, and to make low and small to ensure the border markets such as tea, salt, and iron.

Of course, the scattered Kou Bian still cannot be banned; because in the annual grassland struggle, there are always many tribes that cannot survive, who will want to fight for their lives in autumn and winter, consume excess population or have multiple channels to provide enough resources to survive the winter.

This is the significance of these border guards; they ensure border security maintained at a lower cost. As for the real winter, the robbery is basically seeking death, either being frozen to death or being killed on the side wall.

Therefore, these four tribes are also very representative and symbolic. Among them are the Dangxiang people who were driven out of Yanzhou, the Guihun people who flew from Xizhou, the Uighurs who were expelled from Tingzhou of Anbei Protectorate, and even a Khitan group. What do you know how you came from the corner of the Songmo Governor's Mansion in the northeast.

Well, on the surface, the Tang Dynasty's remaining powers in the outer tribes outside the Great Wall have not been completely lost. There are actually foreign tribes who come over to seek shelter and support due to some historical inertia. But this involves the diplomatic strategy of the Grand Governor's Office, not something that Wang Yanzhang, a military general, can decide.

Therefore, there is also a regular catalog of the basic defense forces and military presence of Yanbian, which are listed after preliminary evaluation, and are required to restore Yanbian's basic defense and military presence.
