Not only the tribes in the northwest, but also some countries in the Western Regions also heard about the power of the Han Dynasty, and willingly sent envoys towards Jincheng.
This is how this storm of tribute was formed.
I think in the modern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives have been taking turns taking power since the time of Emperor Xiaohan and Emperor Ming. When the late Emperor Xiaoling arrived, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and the country was almost destroyed.
It has been weak for a long time, it has been weak for a long time. Let alone paying tribute from foreign tribes, if foreign tribes do not come to bully the Han Dynasty and plunder the Han people's food, women are already good.
How could it have been so prosperous as it is today? If he were the emperor, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would probably feel honored if they heard about it. However, this trend is still on the way, and Liu Feng is not clear about it yet.[
After Liu Feng led the Thirteenth Route Army and the prisoners returned to Jincheng, he began to reward them generously.
Not only the generals, but also the soldiers.
When Liu Feng went on an expedition against the Qiang people, in addition to war horses, the remaining cattle, sheep, gold, silver, and women were all awarded to meritorious soldiers, which was the 780,000 soldiers of the Thirteenth Route Army this time.
Needless to say, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and other generals, even one soldier can get several Qiang women, more than ten cattle and sheep, and a sum of gold and silver worth nothing.
Liu Feng's expedition to the Qiang tribe actually had another purpose, which was to rebuild Liangzhou. Liangzhou was on the northwest border and its position was very important. However, after the rebellion of Ma Teng and Han Sui, Liangzhou was in ruins.
Although Liu Feng appointed the famous minister Yang Fu as the governor of Liangzhou to restore production, the sparse population did not happen overnight.
Liu Feng sent troops to Liangzhou to plunder the women just for this matter. Liu Feng planned to keep most of his troops in Liangzhou to guard against the barbarians and Rong in the northwest.
The families of these soldiers will also migrate, plus a few Qiang women for each man, a total of hundreds of thousands of Qiang women. Think about it, how many more people will there be in Liangzhou after one generation and twenty years?
Liangzhou is strong and the northwest is safe.
This is a major event that will benefit the Han Dynasty for generations to come. Liu Feng certainly attaches great importance to this matter and is also very busy.
Therefore, after Liu Feng returned to Jincheng, he could not go back to Luoyang immediately, and even spent the New Year in Jincheng.
It was not until January, three years into ZTE, that these matters were dealt with and Liu Feng could return to Luoyang.
The weather in the northwest in January is still very cold and everything is depressed.
However, as the war ended, businessmen from the Central Plains flocked to the northwest to seize business opportunities, so Jincheng Street was bustling with traffic and extremely prosperous.
At this moment, Liu Feng was in Han Sui's former general's palace, arranging the final major events.
In the study room of the General's Mansion, Liu Feng and Pang Tong sat opposite each other.
Both of them were wearing casual clothes and were in good spirits. However, the atmosphere at this moment was a bit serious.
"Shi Yuan, I plan to leave the seven armies of the thirteen armies except Dong Gai, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Yan Xing, Ma Chao, Pang De and other six armies in Liangzhou to defend the counties and deter the northwest.
Zhu Rong, Zhu Hu."
Liu Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.[
"Although the great general is powerful in the northwest, the tribes in the northwest will be afraid and will not dare to look down on the Han Dynasty. But if there is no army, they will still be voyeuristic. The army is the right way. I agree."
Liu Feng said with a smile when he heard this.
"Okay, then I will go to the table and ask the emperor to confer Shiyuan the title of General of Zhenxi, who will also protect the General of Northwest, command the seven armies, and supervise the formation of Liangzhou."
Seeing that Pang Tong was happy, Liu Feng also smiled happily.
Needless to say, General Zhenxi is an enhanced version of General Zhenxi. Now that the Han Dynasty is fighting in all directions, it needs generals like Pang Tong to guard it.
For example, Lu Su in the south has been awarded the title of General Zhennan. Pang Tong was originally outstanding in ability, not inferior to Lu Su, and coupled with his military exploits this time, it is natural for Pang Tong to be a general.
As for the generals who protect the northwest, that was what Liu Feng thought of temporarily. The Han people all have Xiaowei, Zhonglangjiang, or generals for important foreigners.
For example, they were the Colonel Protecting Wuhuan and the Colonel Protecting the Xiongnu. The senior ones were Zhonglang Jiang and General. In the past, there was also an official position such as General Protecting the Qiang in the northwest.
But now that the Qiang people have been exterminated, Liu Feng changed his name to General Protecting the Northwest.
In charge of major affairs for the tribes in the northwest.
"Promise." When he heard that Liu Feng had appointed him as the Great General of Zhenxi, Pang Tong was unfazed and just agreed.
"From now on in the northwest, we will all rely on scholars. Remember to be tough. If anyone dares to disrespect the Han Dynasty, we will send troops to destroy him. If we are unable to do so, we must raise seven armies to help him."
Liu Feng warned.
"Don't worry, General, I will not lose the prestige of the Han Dynasty." Pang Tong took a deep breath and bowed after hearing this.
