By the way, Masinde was originally a little worried about how the 40,000 Fulard people would live in Qinghai for two years, but the news brought back by the spies stationed in Shule and Khotan was very gratifying - the Qinghai-Tibet area does not look very barren.
They met a force of the ancient Qiang people. That force had a total population of only two to three hundred thousand and had a lot of wealth.
Yes, in this era, the Faqiang and Qingqiang tribes owned more than 30,000 cattle, 230,000 sheep, large-scale pastures, and highland barley farms that were enough to make a living, plus more than 900,000 large and small grays.
Goose is already a kind of wealth that can make outsiders eager to move.
This is also the reason why Fa Qiang and Qing Qiang rebelled against Sima Lang instead of against the Han Dynasty, because everyone is not stupid. Comparing the life before and now, as long as you have an idea, you will actually know the reason, so even if something happened
Everyone understands that the problem is definitely not caused by the above, but more likely an issue at the implementation level.
The people of Qingqiang and Qingqiang came to Qinghai and wanted to continue to live a good life like they are now. Naturally, they would not oppose the Han Dynasty. If they followed the Han Dynasty, they would have meat to eat, and there would be an extra goose in the pot. In this era, that is not a trivial matter.
, in this case, this group of people is naturally willing to listen to Chang'an's command.
As for anti-Sima Lang, it is purely because they could have lived a better life, but Sima Lang seems to have continued to add obstacles, preventing them from living a better life. Therefore, anti-Sima Lang has almost become the politics of Qingqiang and Faqiang.
Correct.
However, this is not entirely wrong. With the current size of the Qiang people and the carrying capacity of the Qinghai-Tibet region, even if the Qingqiang and Faqiang choose a good geographical location, without clearing the roads, the current Qingqiang and Faqiang
The cattle, sheep, farms, and goose factories we own are basically at their limit.
Next, for Qingqiang and Faqiang, if the road problem is not solved, there is actually no development potential except for changing cattle and sheep species, and changing highland barley species.
But in fact, even if the cattle and sheep are replaced by yaks and Tibetan sheep that are more suitable for the plateau climate, the improvement cannot reach 30%. If the highland barley species is changed, it will not be possible in a short time unless experiments are carried out in the Cookie Shangxue area.
Results have been produced, so the current level is really close to the limit.
For Chen Xi, the current level of the snow area is close to the limit, that is, the level of garbage. But the garbage in Chen Xi's eyes is already a very valuable level for most feudal dynasties. Therefore, Qingqiang and Faqiang
The accumulated supplies were at an outrageous level for Masinde.
Because in Masinde's view, this level already has the basis for exploitation. Even without taking into account the local people, Fulode forcibly confiscated grain and grass, let alone 40,000 people to support Qinghai for two years, even longer.
There is no problem with time.
After all, as long as there are four or five tribes of this level, there is absolutely no problem in supporting the training and proactive attack of the 40,000-strong army. In the spirit of just going up, you can encounter such a large tribe, and it is so wealthy. Qinghai-Tibet has two million square kilometers.
, there should be such a tribe...
Although this idea is rather weird, according to the situation of this era, this way of thinking about the problem is somewhat biased, but generally there is no problem.
However, the basis for this consideration is that this tribe has lived in the Qinghai-Tibet region for a long time and developed on its own. Unfortunately, this tribe was built bit by bit by Chen Xi during a five-year plan. It is not a native development at all.
Got up.
The current Qinghai-Tibet region is still in the era of serfdom, and it will still be in the era of serfdom for a long time to come. There is indeed some agricultural output. After all, the territory of two million square kilometers, no matter how deceptive it is, there are still some places suitable for planting and grazing.
.
But when it comes to wealthy tribes like Qingqiang and Faqiang, just forget it and don’t think about it. There won’t be another one, so don’t think about it.
However, because Masinde relied on spies to collect intelligence and did not understand the ancient Qiang language, he could only estimate the content of the report.
Of course, a very important point here is that even if Qingqiang and Faqiang try hard to stay close to the Han Dynasty, it is still very difficult to master the Han Dynasty Mandarin in a short time. Teachers are still relatively rare after all, so those who have mastered the Chinese language currently
They are basically the top leaders of the tribe.
So much so that after the conflict between the Qiang people and the Shule group, all the curse words became fluent in the ancient Qiang language. In this way, the spies mixed in Shule could only regard them as normal Qiang people living in the Qinghai-Tibet area.
Tribal.
After that, a fight broke out between the two sides. The Shule and Khotan people robbed a group of cattle, sheep and geese from the Qiang people. Several people died on both sides. Now the Qiang people have begun to hunt down the people of Shule and Khotan.
After all, the cattle and sheep that I finally raised were taken away and eaten by these bastards. They were reluctant to do it. They usually waited for the New Year to kill a group. In the past grassland, they were life and death enemies.
, so there is nothing to say, let’s start the pursuit.
It can be said that the content reported by the Qiang people to Chen Xi was very concise, and they put the blame on Sima Lang. It seemed that there was basically nothing to say, but in fact the Qiang people have now started to strangle Shule and Yu in the Qinghai-Tibet area.
The people of Khotan.
Do you really think that the Qiang people are vegetarians? After all, the Qiang people are also the second-tier fighting force in the world. What's more, the Fa Qiang and Qing Qiang have people behind them and have complete weapons and equipment. After being robbed of cattle and sheep by Shule, they directly chase Shule.
People are killing.
Therefore, the current situation in the Qinghai-Tibet region is not at all like what Masinde, Jia Xu and others guessed. The ancestors of later generations of Tubo, such as Fa Qiang, have begun to copy the situation of future generations and began to viciously encircle and suppress all non-own forces in the Qinghai-Tibet region.
Because of an accident, a lot of cattle, sheep and geese were stolen by Shule and Khotan people. This was property given to them by the Han Dynasty. If it was just gone, that doesn’t prove that Han Changan arranged for them to go to Qinghai-Tibet.
Is guarding the frontier the wrong choice?
The logic of sending Qiang is very simple. The Han Dynasty asked them to come here, and they had to work hard to distribute so many things. The task assigned to them by the Han Dynasty was to occupy this place. This was a very easy job.
, after all, they are in the Yanbian area of Qinghai-Tibet, and they can get so many things just by moving to a slightly deeper location.
It can be said that this is a job with ordinary benefits, but now the rewards given to them by the Han Dynasty have been robbed by others, and they were robbed at the place where they were stationed!
This is not a matter of robbing supplies, this is a major event that shakes up their social welfare - you can even be robbed of the supplies you distribute. Can you really complete the tasks assigned by our Han Dynasty and occupy this land?
place?
When they thought that this incident was likely to escalate to the point where the Han Dynasty doubted whether they could complete the task, and thus affect their social welfare, Faqiang Shangxia went straight to the top.
This is just like holding an iron rice bowl in the past, ensuring a good harvest despite droughts and floods, and then someone comes to snatch the rice bowl. Yes, in Faqiang's view, Shule is not here to destroy the rice bowl, but to snatch the rice bowl. This is very abominable.
, so Fa Qiang and Qing Qiang reported to Chang'an, in which they blamed Sima Lang and whitewashed the peace, saying that it was just a fight...
In fact, after Shule and Yutian robbed things and ran away, Faqiang directly organized a militia of young and strong Qiang people, led by their tribal chiefs, to hunt down Shule and Yutian people, and the Qiang people showed
A very cruel side, one that counts every one and kills them immediately if caught.
Shule and Khotan can be regarded as one of the small countries in the Western Region that can be fought, but all battles need to consider armament and mentality issues, so the five thousand backbone infantry formed by the Qiang people chased these two parties and killed them randomly.
His attitude is very clear, he will do it to his death!
Naturally, it is impossible for Chen Xi and others, as well as Masinde and others, to know that the situation in Qinghai-Tibet has gone seriously wrong. The situation they think is completely different from the actual situation. The Qiang who were unwilling to patrol before and only lived in the Yanbian area of Qinghai-Tibet
People, went directly into the depths of the snowy area, and even had contact with the Shang Shung Dynasty.
"Boss, the situation is not good. It looks like there are more people on the other side than us." Yang Pu looked at Lin Dai and said solemnly. He chased them all the way and killed more than two thousand Shule people. But now that he is chasing them, it seems that
Chasing someone else's territory.
The Qiang people are well aware of the fact that there are people in the Qinghai-Tibet area. They have been here for a long time. They hung out in Yanbian, Qinghai-Tibet a hundred years ago. They also heard that there is a Kingdom of Zhangzhong here, but because this country is relatively closed,
The leader of Faqiang has never seen the other side before, but this time when he chases Shule and these bastards, the leader of Ningdai meets each other for the first time.
"Calm down first and see if there is any way to communicate." Lin Dai said calmly, and then he heard the words from the other side, which were directly reflected in his heart. Lin Dai couldn't help but his face darkened. This seemed to be the result of inner energy leaving the body.
Master the secret technique.
"Exit from here." The inner energy of the Zhangzhong Dynasty was separated from the body and greeted Lin Dai. His mind, which he learned from Buddhism, easily conveyed his meaning to Lin Dai.
Lin Dai glanced at the other side, and had no intention of continuing to be impulsive, nor did he say harsh words. He just nodded and led the people away directly. There was no need to drag them. The leaders of Qingqiang and Faqiang were best at judging the situation, and they might not lose in a fight now.
, but even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses. Let’s wait until they have all the men. This is the wisdom entrusted to them by the Xiliang Cavalry!
"Are we going to tolerate it like this?" Young servant Yang greeted angrily.
"Shut up and leave." Lin Dai glared at Yang Pu. Before he made a move, he had to weigh the comparison between the enemy and ourselves. What's more, if the opponent's existence is confirmed, they can be eradicated sooner or later. As long as they have the strength to do it, there is no need to worry.
Can't solve any problems.
Lindai took his Qiang people back to his tribe and immediately prepared the letter eagle to send to Chang'an. Unfortunately, it was too late by this time, and Fuwode was dispatched.
