Chapter 6656 The Moment of Choice
"It is hard to say that even we can understand some of the behavioral logics of the senior management of Beigui. The existence of the princess is only one aspect for Beigui, and on the other hand, it is a social difference." Chen Xi thought about it and explained, because it is difficult for him to explain clearly what was going on.
However, Chen Xi was basically in charge of the matter in Tibet to Ma Xinde. As for what happened in the middle, Chen Xi didn't care much, it depends on Ma Xinde's own operations.
"Indeed, if you think about some of Beigui's behaviors carefully, it is indeed a bit extreme. The existence of the princess is more to give them a step, and the differences at the social level are the key to really inducing them to take that step." Fa Zheng nodded, and he also agreed with this.
Although there are many people among the young and strong men in Beigui who truly agree that the establishment of the empire was to fight back and rob the Han princess, for most normal young and strong men, the existence of the princess was more likely to quickly turn to the Han Dynasty when they didn’t have many choices, and there would be no psychological pressure.
The Han Dynasty has a good life, and the Beigui Mountains eats dirt and betrayal is not good, which means it is a century-old wish. At least the latter sounds like a family inheritance. For this inheritance, I chose to take the scene that is not so good in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and at least there is a step that everyone believes in.
After all, I really believe in this set. Beigui, who has trained generations of people in the mountains for this belief, has long been invested. I didn’t invest at that time, but now I’m using this reason to invest. It’s actually self-evident. It’s just that the people don’t recommend it and officials don’t pursue it. Everyone can get through this. Seeing that Beigui is also from East Asia, and his ancestors are of the same lineage as them, I’m too lazy to analyze it one by one.
"So, don't worry, just see what Ma Xinde can play for us." Chen Xi said with a calm expression, "Anyway, only Ma Xinde's ability, if he still can't control his brush with Ward when he is determined and unintentional, then I have to consider whether the other party did it on purpose."
Fu Ward is a character, but Fu Ward is facing Masinde. After Masinde took Fu Ward to the Tibetan area and threatened the frontier of the Han Dynasty, Fu Ward is likely to not doubt Masinde. In this case, Masinde still cannot control himself, so it is very angering who the other party is playing.
"Get a letter to the Tibetan area, and by the way, Zhang Derong and Chen Xiaoqi also, let them prepare. Many things should be the result of the next." Chen Xi thought for a while and said to Li You. Whether it is Ma Xinde playing Fu Ward or Ma Xinde playing the Han Dynasty, at this point, the result has been achieved.
"Okay, leave it to me." Li You nodded to Chen Xi and said.
"Allocate a batch of supplies to Qingqiang and Faqiang to take them, and let Yang Pu and the others be prepared to fu Ward. Although it is likely that they will not take action, just in case." Chen Xi reminded Li You again, "Let Qingqiang and Faqiang pretend to be a satisfying their vanity."
Chen Xi's positioning of Qingqiang and Faqiang was not the garrison of Tibetan Prefecture, but the people of Tibetan Prefecture. They were allowed to stay in Tibetan Prefecture. The reason for the fact that they could adapt to the environment there, stay there continuously, consolidate the borders of the Han Dynasty, and achieve a certain effect that was almost immigrated to the real border. As for letting Qingqiang and Faqiang and the locals in Tibetan areas fight, Chen Xi had no plans from the beginning. After all, the Tibetan area is so big, and there are so few local people these days, so they can't even touch them.
However, the heads of Qingqiang and Faqiang and the tribes under their rule have received too many, so many of them who used to live in poor places and they were a little doubtful about their lives. These days, people are still quite simple, or just point out, even if you take out the capital to raise a dead man in the future, some people will work hard.
The supplies and logistics provided by Chen Xi to Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang were calculated according to the people of the Central Plains. After all, these two tribes were willing to integrate into the Han Dynasty. Moreover, because they went to Tibet early, they had no hatred with Liangzhou. When they were still in Liangzhou in the early years, they also followed Dou Xian and attacked the Huns from thousands of miles away. If they really wanted to say that they were a tribe that had made contributions.
So with Qingqiang and Faqiang taking the initiative to get closer, Chen Xi also gave a lot of benefits. Except for Chen Xi who now thinks that the problem of building roads in Tibet is too big, Chen Xi can give a lot of other things. Therefore, over the years, Qingqiang and Faqiang felt that they would not do some serious things, and it was a bit hot to take the subsidies issued by the state.
This is also the reason why Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang have been clamoring to fight Fu Ward in recent years.
If Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang used Fu Wode as Khotan and Tiele as a waste, I could not beat the Han Dynasty, but I could not beat you waste, and I had the Han Dynasty’s merits, I saw that I would kill you. As for the losses, with the assistance of the Han Dynasty, we can hold on, and we must be worthy of the subsidies issued to them every year. Brothers.
Later, Qing Qiang and Faqiang knew that Fu Wode was a famous Kushan general, a regular army under his command, and was also the main force of Kushan. He was somewhat cowardly, but the Han Dynasty said that Qing Qiang and Faqiang would not use Fu Wode to manage Fu Wode. Professionals led their troops to suppress Fu Wode, and all kinds of materials and benefits were distributed.
After two years of delivery, Qingqiang and Faqiang felt that the money was very hot. After all, they did everything, just raise geese in Tibetan areas, then dig some Cordyceps sinensis, and make some strange wild herbs, and then they were doing better every year, full of the feeling of state subsidies specifically raising them.
So much so that after discussing the leaders of Qingqiang, Faqiang and Di people, they felt that they could not do this. The Han Dynasty treated them like this, so how could they stop because of danger? In addition, an epidemic occurred in the middle. The Han Dynasty sent doctors to treat them, so that these grassland nomads could avoid the result of death as much as before, and they also confiscated any money. The Han Dynasty also gave some nutritional supplements.
Such welfare made Qingqiang, Faqiang and Di people completely calm down. After the three leaders sat together to discuss, they said that the Han Dynasty treated them like this. They didn't say anything and couldn't get over it. This is the king and the ministers regard him as brothers and sisters. What else can I say? Do it!
Then the Qingqiang, Faqiang, and Di people gathered all the territory of the young and strong dynasties to sweep the territories of the Target Xiong Dynasty. As the same goes, Fu Ward is very powerful, and the regular troops under Fu Ward are also very powerful. The problem is that Fu Ward has a total of 40,000 people, and some people have to be left to station in Xiangxiong and suppress the local area. The troops they can mobilize are extremely limited.
Qing Qiang, Fa Qiang, and Di people are basically local wars. Not to mention being young and strong, they even brought their brave women when they set off, and they had the military equipment of the Han Dynasty, which looked a bit like that. Then the two sides fought again in the Tibetan area. Fu Ward sent 1.20,000 troops, while the Qiang sent 70,000 troops.
There was nothing to say as a result. When Fu Ward discovered the movements of the Qiang people, he was prepared for the victory on the battlefield, but his troops were reduced by more than 3,000. If the wounded soldiers were included, the mobile troops that Fu Ward could use afterwards dropped directly to more than 6,000.
In short, winning is as bad as losing. Even if Chen Xi had not allowed Zhang Ji to severely criticize the leader of the Qiang people, after these people recovered, they would probably start a war again and fight with Fu Ward for a few more games. Loss? I'm afraid of losing. Now I have to show their loyalty to the Han Dynasty first.
Although Chen Xi felt it was completely unnecessary, the Qiang people wanted to continue this kind of life. After all, after enjoying the wealth and hard work of the Han family, they went back to the mountains and valleys to eat grass, and they had no food to eat. A white-haired snow killed the whole family, and an epidemic killed half of the tribe. The Qiang people couldn't stand it.
If you don’t know some things, and you haven’t enjoyed them, it’s fine. If you see them, you know them, and you have enjoyed them. If you want to go back to the past and maintain a peaceful and peaceful state of poverty, how can you say that, you must have a gentleman’s mentality at the beginning. If everyone is a gentleman, there is nothing like this in this world?
Most people are just normal people, and there is no serious difference between high and low.
With this idea, the Qiang people can understand what they can do, but Chen Xi still asked Zhang Ji and Chen Zhen to stop the people from being crazy. It is true that these people can do whatever they want to lose, but the damage to doing this step is not worth it in Chen Xi's opinion. After all, with Ma Xinde, an internal staff member, many things are actually unnecessary.
"I think if you continue to send things to the Qiang people in Tibetan areas, they may have to find a way to start a war to thank the Han Dynasty." Li You said angrily.
"It shouldn't be a chance to start. If Fu Ward is really doing the NSW matter, then Masinde and Fu Ward will almost be at showdown." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Look, there should be news soon."
In Zangzhou, Yang Pu and others brought their men to Hanzhong to pull up a batch of supplies. When they were in Zangzhou, the group of people were wondering whether they should start another war against Fu Wode next.
"Did Liuzi find a stationary site for Xiangxiong?" Yang Pu asked his neighbor Dai.
"Yes, he said he went hunting and happened to find a tribe of Xiangxiong. According to his observation, this tribe is a large tribe, and there should be 500 to 800 Kushan garrisons in it. I thought that after this wave of goods was taken, we will go there to do a vote. We can't beat three or five thousand Kushan elites, and we can't beat five hundred Kushan elites?" Lin Dai nodded and said, the last time the knife was cut by the Kushan soldiers almost cost him half his life, but even so, he was still active in attacking Xiangxiong and killing the Kushan soldiers.
"It seems that we have killed three or four thousand real Kushan soldiers over the years, right? The rest of the time, they are all servants, and they have killed the most for the first time." Yang Pu said with some fatigue, "How can we get Fu Ward to gather all the Kushan army, and then we gather all our subordinates to fight them in front of us."
"We can't win the battle against the front, and Fu Ward has about 30,000 people. Even if we arm all the young and strong people in the tribe, we will only be in just over 100,000. This is enough to be a half-year-old man of fifteen or sixteen years old, and we can't win the battle." Neil Dai sighed and said, "Fu Ward who is prepared can really fight, and if they fight in the formation, they really can't win.
"Even if you can't win, this battle can at least cause nearly 10,000 casualties for Kushan. They are different from us. We have no shortage of logistics and medicinal materials. If Fu Ward causes nearly 10,000 casualties, our Xiangxiong leader will be able to do something big." Yang Pu said with a sneer.
"You guy is so ugly." Neil Dai smiled and scolded. The truth is indeed the same. As long as Fu Ward's power is reduced to a certain level, Fu Ward will not only face the Qiang people. Now Xiangxiong's nobles dare not move. On the one hand, Fu Ward's strength is indeed strong enough, and on the other hand, the operating framework developed by Ma Xinde can indeed allow Xiangxiong to develop steadily.
But no matter how strong Kushan is, no matter whether Xiangxiong can develop steadily, for Xiangxiong who has lost a lot of benefits, they are still very active if they have plans to deal with Ward. Therefore, when Yang Pu contacted him privately, they also responded actively.
Of course, Ma Xinde could see this kind of contact clearly. After all, he had sufficient national operations in Xiangxiong, and all the people were equipped with personnel with suitable personnel in this position. Therefore, this kind of contact would naturally be paid attention to by strict organizations, but Ma Xinde didn't care.
"Although we can't beat Fu Ward, we can drag him to death. How about it? We won't have another battle this time and organize more people." Yang Pu suggested that the Qiang people would definitely suffer heavy losses in this kind of war, but for the sake of the future and in order to enjoy this kind of life in the future, Yang Pu felt that it was necessary to take the risk and fight Fu Ward.
"This still needs to be discussed with the leaders of each department. After all, the leader had already died in battle last time, so you still need to be careful." Lin Dai said somewhat cautiously.
If it weren't before joining the Han Dynasty, the tribe's head man died, and everything under his command would be absorbed by other head men, and his wife and children would become someone else's wife and children. However, after the last war, Zhang counted the losses and gave a lot of pensions to those who died in battle, and held down the other head man who wanted to merge.
To be honest, because all the heads did not merge the dead guys, and none of them became stronger by eating others in this round of war, and the heads of various tribes did not have any conflicts. After all, when they did not join the Han Dynasty, the annexation of the families and subordinates of the deceased after the war was a very effective means of strengthening, and they could also avoid being swallowed up by themselves.
Of course, the disadvantage is that the prey on the weak is too extreme and the moral qualities are too low, but this is an inevitable situation in life on the grassland. After joining the Han Dynasty, this aspect can be avoided, which is actually not a bad thing for most tribal leaders.
At least you don’t have to worry about one day when you die, everything you have become someone else’s things, and you can feel more at ease when fighting.
"Yes, but do you agree?" Yang Pu nodded and asked.
"We have medicine and logistics here. Although the Han Dynasty prohibits us from going to war with Fu Ward, after we fight with Fu Ward, the Han Dynasty will distribute various supplies to us regardless of winning or losing. If that is the case, what else can I agree with?" Lin Dai said calmly.
"Speaking of this, have we ever won?" Yang Pu asked after a moment of silence.
"If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no one. Every time, we are hit by Fu Ward. Our losses are actually quite heavy. The number of casualties is several times that of Fu Ward each time. But for some reason, I always feel that if I continue to fight like this, we will definitely win." Neil Dai touched his chin, pondered for a while and said.
"It's probably because of the problem of hurting people." He didn't say anything, but just silently calculating how much material they could share this time and said, "There are few words."
"But this doesn't matter. Think about it, if the governor Zhang had not realized that we had an epidemic last time, he quickly asked Chang'an to send someone to treat him, at least half of us would have died, and even a few of us would have died." Lin Dai said calmly, "What's the point of selling a life to the Han Dynasty? Besides, there are constant benefits in the process of working hard."
"There is also the white-haired snow before." Yang Pu sighed and said, "If the Han Dynasty had not allocated a large number of wintering cotton coats, we would probably have died a lot of people. I'm thinking about it. After these two groups, the total population of our tribes is 500,000 or 600,000, or should we have a total of 300,000 or less?"
It sounds outrageous, but if you were on the grassland in the feudal era, the large-scale plague and white-haired snow killed half of the entire grassland at one time. In fact, if it was a bit miserable, you might die more.
This is also the time after heavy snow in the north, the Hu people would go south. To be honest, whoever can eat or eat, would be willing to fight with the Han Dynasty? It is not the Dog Song. If you fight with the Han Dynasty, you can get gold coins. If you fight with the Han Dynasty, let alone gold coins, even the heads will be blown up by the Han Dynasty.
If there is another choice, who is willing to fight against this monster, isn’t it because there is no way to survive that he has to go south?
So, after Yang Pu's simple and rough calculations, they successfully survived 300,000 more people in the past two years because of special medicines and warm supplies. Since they survived 300,000 more people, it would be very reasonable to divide half of them into battle for the Han Dynasty. Even if they were all beaten to death, and the Han Dynasty did not provide them with continuous support, at least it would not be a loss, right?
In fact, this is the rhetoric used by Yang Pu and others when mobilizing among the Qiang people. This rhetoric was when the Qiang people touched their cotton coats and recalled the situation when they fell to the ground and became feverish when they fell to the ground. Damn, I'm just a fucking man for the Han Dynasty!
This is almost the case, so the cost of Yang Pu and others in the recent past is very low. Many Qiang people think that the Han Dynasty gives money to work hard and is very good. They should indeed work hard for the Han Dynasty. As for the question of whether the opponent is strong or not, it has nothing to do with whether they work hard or not.
"Let's mobilize and have a hard fight with Fu Ward." Lin Dai said to Zhuzhi, and Zhuzhi, who was reluctant to speak, nodded, indicating that there was nothing wrong with this matter.
While the Qiang people were preparing to mobilize 120,000 to 150,000 young and strong, using the four-drawing and one-to-one game and Fu Ward to fight desperately, Fu Ward was quietly listening to the news reported by his own soldiers.
As I said, Fu Ward is not a fool, especially after being beaten by Li Jue, Fu Ward has a clear understanding of whether spies will be bribed. In addition, Tibetan areas are the highest place in the world. After several years of enlightenment, Fu Ward has a deeper understanding of many things.
"The army in NSW has begun to be dispatched," Fu Ward sighed, "but even so, we cannot go northwest to Kushan. The most promising plan at present is actually to go south. Unfortunately, the Himalayas and snow lines move downwards, making it difficult for us to pass there."
"Go and find Masinde. It's all over now. He has done everything he can do. When I realize it, I have no choice. Go and inform him to come over." Fu Ward said to his personal guard, and the personal guard was interrupted by Fu Ward when he was standing there and was about to explain.
"I don't know where Mashind has gone, but you must know. Tell Mashind to come over. My personal soldiers can be gradually gathered by Mashind. What I, as a general, have done is bad enough." Fu Ward said staring at his personal soldiers, and the personal soldiers knelt down on the spot.
"Don't play with these, just inform Masinde. I really have no choice but to use the manpower in the end. After this time, Masinde was controlled by Masinde. Only me, the lonely man, are there anything else to be afraid of." Fu Ward said calmly. He had actually thought it thoroughly now, so he was not angry.
Soon Masinde and Assam appeared in the palace where Fuwad was. The three of them looked at each other speechlessly. Finally, Fuwad slowly asked, "Masinde, how much did you sell me?"
"If you want to go back to Kushan, the Himalaya will not stop you." Mashind said calmly, "Actually, I want you to be with me."
"What should I do if there are less than 30,000 Kushan elites left?" Fu Ward looked at Masind coldly and asked, "Are you just consumed here as consumables?"
"Since I brought them up, I said that they are likely to be unable to go back to Kushan." Masind's eyes were extremely calm. "I told the truth from the beginning. When I returned to Qunnu City and then made a promise to Vesutva I, I have fulfilled it. I am worthy of Kushan. Although I hate the senior leaders of Kushan, I have fulfilled my promise whether in the navy or the army."
When Masinde said this, Fu Ward clearly felt that the other party's ties from Kushan were constantly being cut off.
"Tell me your choice. At this point, you will understand everything you should think clearly." Masinde said softly.
Chapter completed!
