After Chen Lin left, Ye An breathed a sigh of relief. The war between Dangxiang and the Song Dynasty was coming, but his preparations were not sufficient. Gan Liang had been able to establish a foothold in the northwest and became the "invisible overlord" of one party, but
Qingtang is still a piece of his heart.
Most of the land in the Western Regions has surrendered, but it will take several years of rule to completely conquer it. Ye An has never thought about simply and crudely ruling the Western Regions with pure force. On the contrary, he can only bring more knowledge to the Xizhou Uighurs.
A good life can completely bring them home. Of course, strong military power is still the guarantee for maintaining governance.
Rosanna's existence can legitimately manage and rule Xizhou, but the land she has just conquered still needs a long time to manage, and during this period, the costs Ganliang will have to pay will be higher.
Governance is not blindly exploiting and plundering, otherwise it is colonization. These are two completely different states. Governance requires the responsibility of governing. If you want the entire Xizhou to follow the example of Gan Liang, you must pay a corresponding price.
In the eyes of the Han family, the Xizhou Uighurs were not considered Chinese, but in the eyes of Ye An, they were his compatriots. There were fifty-six ethnic groups in his era, so he regarded these existences that the Han family called barbarians.
No mental barriers.
The land of Xizhou was larger than that of Ganliang. Li Yuanhao did not conquer Xizhou. He just wanted to plunder the wealth of Xizhou. This kind of exploitation naturally tortured the Xizhou Uighurs and drove them under the rule of Ganliang.
For Ye An, people are the most important thing. Now that he has obtained the land in Xizhou and has also been recognized by the Uighurs in Xizhou, the spread of Christianity has made Ye An worried.
The Uighurs are very persistent in their beliefs. The emergence of Christianity gave them a place to belong to, and it also made the Karakhanid dynasty in the west ready to move.
How to suppress the development of religion? The best way is to keep everyone busy and work hard to live a good life for themselves. The Uighurs did not believe in religion at the beginning. They also gradually became more and more active in their lives and exchanges.
I started to have faith.
They first believed in Manichaeism and Shamanism, and then started to change with the advent of Buddhism. Now the emergence of Christianity is extremely aggressive, and it soon became the belief of the Uighurs.
It is almost impossible for the Uighurs to completely give up their faith. Their suffering is diluted through their faith.
Religion is not terrible. What is terrible is that people who believe in it are completely trapped in it. They do not produce or work, and are completely controlled by religion. Now the Christian religion in Xizhou is pretty good. Ye An has no other requirements for Rosanna.
While you have only a little faith in Christianity, you must adhere to its teachings and not interpret too much.
Many times, in the name of explaining doctrines, people with good intentions can easily confuse and incite. Even Buddhist doctrines that advocate doing good deeds and accumulating virtue can be exploited by others, turning them into a cult like Maitreya.
In addition to religion, there are also feuds and conflicts among the Uighur tribes in Xizhou. The Han Dynasty has ruled them for many years and also used divisional methods to make it difficult to unite. This was the bane left behind at the beginning, but it also
It became the biggest obstacle for Rosanna to integrate the Xizhou Uighurs.
But fortunately, Ye An still has time, money and interests to unite these tribes. In the same way, war will make these feuding people the only ones they can rely on on the battlefield. Ye An does not believe that there are people in this world who are more valuable than life.
Important hatred…
Looking at the children, wives and concubines in the courtyard, Ye An sometimes thinks that if he just compromises like this and adapts to this era, he may not have too many worries. With his current status, even if he becomes an official, he can still live in the land of the Song Dynasty.
Life is very good, but for some reason, there is always an unwilling impulse in my heart. I must not be the kind of person who takes things easy.
He couldn't just watch the Han Dynasty that he belonged to become in ruins, couldn't watch the Han family decline, and gradually become unbearable from the most powerful existence on the earth, and finally be opened by others with powerful ships and cannons.
Ye An has knowledge and understanding beyond this era, but these same things are constantly tormenting him. This is a talent, but also a responsibility.
At first, Qin Mumu was disgusted with this kind of "heroic" behavior, but when she truly understood the development of history and recalled the sufferings of the Han family from Ye An's description, she also unknowingly changed.
.
Looking at the lonely figure sitting alone by the campfire under the moonlight, Qin Mumu's heart suddenly shrank, and she slowly sat beside him and said: "Knowing the future is not necessarily a good thing, it is still a painful burden.
"
Ye An turned to look at her with a bitter smile and said: "Yes! Did you know? In order to establish the country and establish prestige, Li Yuanhao will lead Xixia to fight three wars with the Song Dynasty, and each of them ended with the victory of the party and the defeat of the Song Dynasty.
, a country with such a large population, such a vast land, such a prosperous economy and prosperous technology has lost to the northwest barbarians who they despise the most. This is not an absurd black humor, but a painful fact that is about to happen! Starting from these three failures
, the Song Dynasty will begin to decline from a top Han dynasty to an existence that any foreign race dares to covet. The Dangxiang people, Liao people, Jurchens, and Mongols have coveted this land for countless years. If the Han Dynasty
If the family does not have a strong force, then this land will be torn to pieces by countless people until it is completely destroyed!"
Qin Mumu has been told that her scalp is numb. Although her understanding of history is not as good as Ye An's, she also knows the suffering that this nation has suffered. Especially after coming to the Song Dynasty, she saw many things that made her
It was something that she could not imagine in her previous life. Even though Ye An was very protective of her, back in Ganliang she saw with her own eyes the wounded soldiers of the Western Lie Army and the Huaiyuan Army wailing in pain on the ground, which still had a huge impact.
People's thoughts will change. While Ye An is changing, Qin Mumu is also changing. She knows the reason for Ye An's pain. Even though he knows that the Song Dynasty is about to lose these three wars, he still can't do anything.
, he has completely lost hope in Song Ting. At this time, the more the Song Ting declines, the better it is for him, but he also does not want this to happen. This kind of contradiction is unbearable for a normal person.
"I know what you are thinking. It's just like the question of killing one person to save millions. There is no right or wrong in this question. You just need to do it according to what you think is right or wrong. There will always be someone who will act as "Thanos"
oh!"
"Thanos? Hehe..."
Ye An smiled bitterly. He knew that this was Qin Mumu trying to comfort him, but he didn't know whether Thanos was just. He only knew that there was no final answer to everything he did. The winner was the winner and the loser was the enemy. History is always written by the winner.
.
If he succeeds, he will be the hero who saves the Han family. If he fails, he will probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in thousands of years of history and be spurned by others.
As Qin Mumu said, some things have to be done after all. Everything he has done is worthy of his heart and China. Compared with the fate of the entire Han family, what does the old Zhao family mean?
