The north wind blows the white grass and turns the ground, and snow falls in August.
Although the snow has not fallen, the severe frost has already enveloped the world.
On the fifth day of the eighth month, the air was a little cold in the morning, as if the breath was a bit stern.
It is August, and the sausage under the Dongmu root is almost mature. I am no longer afraid of frost, but I am afraid of wind.
The north wind brought news from afar. The camel bells were wafting, and the sound of hooves came, and a huge team drove up from the north.
The personal army, released by Shao Xun, returned triumphantly and escorted the prisoners back to Dongmugen Mountain.
Shao Xun looked at the captives in the convoy with a sad expression, without any emotion, turned to look at Wang Que'er and said, "What do you think about the Shanyu Mansion moving to Dongmugen Mountain?"
Wang Que'er pondered for a long time.
"What? I feel unsafe?" Shao Xun asked.
"Your Majesty is so powerful that the grassland will definitely be extremely obedient for decades. The Shanyu Mansion is under Dongmugen Mountain." Wang Quer finally said: "However, hundreds of years later, the tribes will definitely be in turmoil and rebellious. The Shanyu Mansion cannot stay, and most of them will still retreat to Pingcheng."
After hearing this, Shao Xun smiled and said, "Qi'er, why can't you see anything more than me?"
Wang Que'er is puzzled.
"I am satisfied that the grassland can obey for decades. If I can be stable for a hundred years, I don't know what to say, Daliang has made a big profit." Shao Xun said: "Since ancient times, there has never been a way that has not been easy for generations. If future generations lie on the foundation I have laid for them, I will live and die in a drunken and dream, and I deserve to be destroyed."
Wang Quer'er's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
The ministers must never say such words, and even some emperors never say such words because they think it is unlucky, but today they are more free and easy and open-minded, and he never hides these things.
"The grassland also has rise and fall," said Shao Xun: "From my view, the grassland should have risen for a while, but it is for me to be stifled by the nakedness. This has both pros and cons, and the descendants must not take it lightly."
The Central Plains dynasties have rise and fall, and the grasslands have dynasties, and there are also rise and fall.
Some things are time and fate.
Sometimes human resources are poor, and you can't do everything, you can only fulfill your mission in the present.
Wang Que'er heard about the rise and fall of the grassland dynasty, and was a little new and doubtful.
There were already five dynasties in the Central Plains, including Qin, the Former Han, the Later Han, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and entered the Sixth Dynasty Liang, but there were only two dynasties in the grasslands, and the latter was a short-lived dynasty. Tan Shihuai died and the country was destroyed.
Will there really be a dynasty that unifies the grassland? If they had written and had a more strict official system, would this dynasty be even more difficult to deal with than the Xiongnu and Xianbei?
He could not imagine.
Shao Xun glanced at him and said, "You have been in Pingcheng for eight years, and you have managed all kinds of affairs well and organized. If you change someone,
Maybe the country was in chaos two years ago, and I couldn’t wait for me to lead the army north to decide the overall situation. You can go to Chengdu in a while and help Yu Yuangui control the situation. You can take the military service of Ningyi and the two states of Ningyi with all your strength."
Changing from Pingcheng in the bitter and cold land to Chengdu is a reward for Wang Que'er.
He is now expensive, but he is still a little short of wealth. After going to Chengdu, he doesn’t need to embezzle and take bribes. He can get a lot of money by legal means, which is enough to lay the foundation for the family’s wealth and prosperity.
This is a tacit understanding between the king and his subjects, and Wang Quer directly took the order and responded.
"Let's go and see what you captured." Shao Xun asked someone to lead the horse.
Wang Que'er glanced at the foot of the mountain and suddenly felt a little nostalgic.
Eight years.
In the past eight years, he fought wits and courage with the Xianbei people, from being single at the beginning to becoming stronger later. The reason is that 20,000 soldiers from Hongcheng, Wuzhou and Gaoliu towns gradually formed combat power, and in addition, the influence on the Liangcheng National Army and the personal army of the guards became increasingly deeper. The Wuyuan National Army also began to build up the generals as the saying goes, generals are the courage of soldiers, but in fact soldiers are also the courage of generals.
Now all this is to be handed over to others, and he will go to Shuzhong to live a "good life" one by one and be ordered to live a good life.
The achievements of this life may stop here and there is no chance.
From the first rank Kaifu Yi and the third rank, from the second rank, the governor of the throne, and the fief of Pingyang County, what else do you want?—·
*******
Tong Qianjin and others arrived at the foot of Dongmugen Mountain, looked at the Emperor Huagai from afar, and couldn't help but cheer.
The things I snatched were waiting for the emperor to give them aside.
Almost with them, the cavalry commander Pugu Zhongchen led his troops back and escorted more than 2,000 people.
This is the people of Suhe tribe who were not named and defeated by the army. Of course, there are more than just a few people in the tribe, but some of them were killed and some were fled, and that was the only one left.
"Your Majesty." Before Tong Qianjin, the loyal ministers worshiped him.
"In the past few days, I can't remember how many people I have robbed, and I can't remember the cattle and sheep." Shao Xun helped his loyal servant up and said with a smile.
Su Zhongshun trotted over and acted as a translator.
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
After several rushes, their spirits also aroused, and they looked like soldiers, and were no longer slaves.
"How about the pastures of Babashi?" asked Shao Xun.
After hearing this, Pugu’s loyal minister was exhausted for a while and didn’t know how to describe it. In the end, he could only put one word in: “Very good.”
Shao Xun smiled again, then pointed to the surrounding Dongmugen Mountain and said, "The pastures here are good, and some places can still be farmed.
Do you want it?"
After hearing this, Pugu’s loyal minister widened his eyes.
Shao Xun pretended to be unhappy, beat his chest and said, "I said I want your family background to be a noble man on the grassland. Is there any falsehood?
Not only you, but also the soldiers in Hengchong Camp are rich and honored."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the Huangmen Minister Yin Yuan immediately stepped forward and handed over a map.
The honey-scented paper has a faint fragrance, and it is painted with mountains, rivers and rivers in the Dongmugen Mountain area, which are very clear.
Shao Xun pointed to one of them and said, "This is Changchuan. When Tuoba's family moved west, there was no ranch assigned by Dou Bin, a Luhui tribe master, to Tuoba Liwei."
"This is Ningchuan, which was the first place to settle when Tuoba's clan moved westward."
"This is Juqi, which is the old city of Juqi County, Han Dynasty."
"You can get one of these three places, which one can choose?"
"Chuan" is a Chinese character, but here it is actually a transliteration of Xianbei, but it is just borrowed from Chinese characters.
In Xianbei language, "chuan" means wasteland grassland, not rivers in Chinese.
Ningchuan is roughly at the junction of Bashang Grassland and Ulanqab, located in the southeast of Dongmugen Mountain.
Changchuan is located in the northwest of today's Xinghe County and is located in the southwest of Dongmugenshan.
Tears are also in the northwest of Xinghe County, but are located in the southeast of Changchuan.
Among these three places, Changchuan is one of the pastures of the Baba tribe.
"Your Majesty, I'm one by one." The loyal minister of Pu Gu was a little dizzy.
He was just a gatekeeper, and suddenly became rich and noble. How could he understand these things? So he got stuck and didn't know what to say.
Seeing him like that, Shao Xun laughed and said, "Then let's go to Changchuan. I promise you to build a city, and the loyal ministers of your territory were stunned.
Shao Xun ignored him and went straight to the soldiers of Hengchong Camp, pointed at someone casually and said, "Who are you?"
"Getty Captain." This man was wearing a leader armor, with blood stains hidden. When he saw Shao Xun, he was a little breathless and replied in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, 'good bear' means slaves." Su Zhongshun explained.
"Isn't this a serious name?" Shao Xun asked, "There is no serious name for a lowly person." Su Zhongshun smiled and said, "There is only a big stupid person, and the nobles of the tribe like him, so he asked him to practice martial arts, just like the scholars of the Central Plains who trained servants to form an army."
"Identity is a slave, and nobles call him slave. Over time, the slave becomes a name." Shao Xun shook his head and laughed.
Then he looked at the Huolu again and asked, "Do you have family?"
He didn't ask about the property, it shouldn't be there, because he is not a free shepherd, so he can eat and drink better at most.
The fox said something to Su Zhongshun.
"Your Majesty, the noble man from the Han clan who saw that he was powerful in Kong Wu, so he asked the female slave to have sex with him and gave birth to several children.
I don’t know if this is considered a family member.” Su Zhongshun said.
Shao Xun was speechless for a moment.
This is really naked slavery. "Ask him if he is willing to find his family. If he wants, I will order the Poliu Han family to send people here." Shao Xun said.
Su Zhong asked successfully. The Huolu shook his head, and suddenly walked to a carriage, pointed to a woman in her twenties, and said something again.
Su Zhongshun listened and asked, and after a while, his expression was a little dull.
Shao Xun picked up his arms and felt something was wrong.
"Your Majesty." Su Zhongshun said carefully: "This woman's surname is Po Liu Han, and later married to Su He tribe. When she was young, she once was a slave of this woman."
After saying this, seeing that Shao Xun's expression remained unchanged, Su Zhongshun was a little braver and said, "After defeating Suhe, the captain went straight to the tent of the Poliu Han clan and walked away. On the way of the army, there were soldiers from the camp who wanted to belittle this woman, and they were almost injured by the captives. He didn't want anything else, he didn't want all the spoils, so he wanted this woman."
After saying that, the scene was extremely quiet.
Tong Qianjin blinked with one eye, looked at Su Zhongshun, and thought to himself that you are so brave.
Su Zhongshun's mouth was full of bitterness and a little regretful.
Shao Xun suddenly laughed and sighed, "Why is this! Why is this!"
"Well! I feel something, so what if I want you to do!" He pointed to the woman and said, "I am the one who is yours."
After saying that, he pondered again and said, "Good man to the end. I will give you two brocade quilts, ten pieces of colorful silk, fifty pieces of silk, my courage, how can I not have a show when I marry a bride?"
After Su Zhongshun finished translating, the captain stepped forward towards Shao Xun.
The soldiers looked shocked and they all killed each other.
Shao Xun waved his hand and signaled not to panic.
The Huolu stopped several steps in front of him, kowtowed repeatedly, then returned to the carriage and carried the woman down.
The woman struggled hard, but the captain hugged her tighter and tighter, and she refused to let go.
Everyone burst into laughter and envious at the same time.
Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "You will not follow the battle and win many battles. One army can get several slaves and dozens of mixed animals. You can settle down. I want to build several cities around Dongmugen Mountain, so you can choose one of them to live in. Each family has a pasture. If there is farmland for farming, it will be divided. This is not a matter of one day or one night. You can temporarily gather slaves in Dongmugen Mountain. After the city is finished and the pasture is divided, you will return home."
Su Zhongshun was a little surprised when he heard this.
Why is this a bit like a mansion soldier? It’s just that the mansion soldiers in the Central Plains are farming, and the mansion soldiers here are grazing.
Can the imperial court control such government troops? Because the land needed for grazing is more than farming, these people are destined to live in a more scattered manner.
Su Zhongshun was a little uncertain. But the emperor was too kind to these people. This generation should be able to control it, and it is hard to say the next generation.
Wang Que'er didn't have as many ideas as Su Zhongshun.
He already understood Master Shao, how long he could control it. If the next emperor had good skills, he would not have rebelled.
They have cities to live in, slaves to herd, and may even have a small amount of farmland to farm. As long as the court provides relief when the disaster occurs,
There are rewards when fighting, who is full and rebelled?
As for the financial difficulties of the court, it is impossible to afford the money, or even more serious. The abolishment of these border cities and completely retreated to Pingcheng or even Yanmen Pass was the business of the emperor of the future generations, and the emperor could not control it now.
He has done everything he can do, what else can you ask for? Unworthy descendants will always have them.
"Pingcheng just sent fine wine. Tonight, kill cattle and sheep, the entire army." Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "You can find some fun for me. Whoever dances well can enjoy it! Whoever drinks well can enjoy it! Whoever sings well can enjoy it!"
After the order was conveyed, cheers were everywhere.
Yin Yuan, the Huangmen Minister, left quietly and returned to the city. After a while, a letter was sent to Pingcheng.
After receiving the letter, Secretary-General Lu Chen immediately wrote an order and asked Luoyang to send craftsmen to the Dongmugenshan planning city site.
Of course, it’s just a plan, and there is no money or grain to build this year.
The emperor was in charge of Dongmugen Mountain, and the tribes were killed so happily. The Tuoba Xianbei was seriously injured on the whole, let alone the disaster this year. The tribes were still receiving relief grains one after another.
This matter will be next year as soon as possible, maybe the year after that, but no matter what, a military system with Dongmugen Mountain City as the core is already underway.
