Chapter 2462 Dad can''t return
Everyone is looking for their own position in the process of the turmoil of the big man.
It''s like generals and soldiers in the northern desert...
Like the original prey and hunter...
And women.
Since primitive society, women have represented fertility, which means population and reproduction, and plundering women in wars has existed since the ancient Yanhuang period.
This kind of "plundering" is not only in the body, but also in the mind.
It’s like controlling the other party’s racial female thinking mode, instilling a lot of lazy thinking patterns, and then extending the influence to the next generation through family education and so on.
Of course, in the Han Dynasty, there was a strategy for women called "heqin".
Strictly speaking, this strategy was not only in the Han Dynasty, but it can be said that it officially began in the Han Dynasty.
As for some situations before the Han Dynasty, such as the Banyue Queen Mother''s peace with someone, it can only be regarded as an affair, not a marriage.
More than half a year has passed since the chaotic war in Longyou and Longxi. A few months ago, with the joint efforts of Jia Xu and others, they first broke the Western Qiang Alliance, then forced Beigong to grant the head, then delineated the living area, and then resettled ordinary Qiang people. The overall order in Longyou and Longxi is taking place. Earth-shaking changes.
Among them, Ajiesha, who personally offered the head of Beigong, contributed a lot to assist the hussars in regulating the Qiang people. of those tribal peoples.
At this moment, Ajiesha was standing on the hillside, watching a group of people go east along the avenue with a smile on his face.
When the smoke dissipated, the smile on Ajiesha''s face slowly disappeared, and finally transformed into an indescribably complex expression...
The person who just left is the descendant of Beigong...
No, there is no Beigong now.
In the current situation, I don’t know whether it should be said that the Qiang people betrayed Beigong, or that Beigong hurt the Qiang people. Anyway, for the current Western Qiang people, they seem to be eager to abandon Beigong Like these remaining memories, it is like throwing away a bone that has been gnawed away.
Xiqiang, after passing through Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Beigong, in the course of the past few years, they have been fighting continuously and being hit again and again, which finally made the Qiang people lose all their confidence and their war weariness was unprecedentedly high. , and put all the blame on Beigong''s head, as if they had completely forgotten that before Beigong launched the war, they also had some favorable or ambiguous attitudes.
Blaming others is always the easiest thing, isn''t it?
In the current drastic changes, the Qiang people need to find their own position again.
"I hope... I hope this new Han general is better than those old Han generals..." Ajiesha recalled the situation in the past, and sighed slightly, "Leaving this place of the Qiang people may also be the best choice for Yami... Perhaps... what we Qiang people need is to recuperate...』
『Han people…』
Ajiesha murmured, looking up at the sky, as if he was asking the sky, his voice gradually became low, and finally became inaudible. Finally, he turned around and got on his horse, and rode away. In a few days, he will meet with Jia Xu to determine the follow-up matters of the Qiang people. It is said that the Han people want to give the Qiang people a city, a city belonging to the Qiang people. This is what Beigong wanted but failed to achieve. I don''t know what Beigong would think if he found out about this in the underground?
When the morning fog gradually dissipated, a group of people moved forward slowly.
『I want to get off! 』
A voice broke the silence of the convoy.
In the convoy heading east, a woman''s voice sounded, and then a figure in Qiang costume jumped out of the car eagerly, and accompanied by two maids, hurried to the In the woods beside the road.
What the **** kind of food do Han people eat?
Ajiesha said that it is necessary to adapt to the diet of the Han people in advance. Yami, who ate a lot of beans, was somewhat unacceptable, and her stomach gurgled along the way...
After finally solving the stomach problem, Yami returned to the side of the convoy. When she looked up, she saw her two-year-old little red horse following behind the vehicle.
The little red horse is only a little over two years old, and she can''t leave until she is three or four years old. She shouldn''t have brought it here, but Yami was reluctant. This is what she has been raising since the little red horse was born, and she really can''t let go of it.
The little red horse was not on the saddle, but just on a bridle. At this time, it was pulling the weeds on the side of the road for nothing. Then it raised its head and looked at Yami. A run of horse manure...
Yami almost went crazy on the spot, if she didn''t know that it was just the temper of the horse, otherwise she would definitely think that it was the little red horse mocking her!
Yami stepped forward, patted the little red horse on the head, and then re-boarded the vehicle, and then the vehicle continued to move forward.
『The food of the Han people is really unpalatable! 』
Yami muttered, and then tried her best not to think about those scenes.
Yami is the daughter of Beigong’s younger brother Hachinar.
After Beigong died, even Beigong''s younger brother Hachinar died in the rebellion.
When a person dies, the debt cannot be repaid, and the house... bah, cattle and sheep, etc., still have to be repaid in various ways. It even includes other women in the Beigong clan.
Yami even saw more than once that those luxuriously dressed Beigong women disappeared quietly, or were beaten, scolded and bullied by some rough men. Because they have lost their original noble status and become slaves.
slave.
This familiar yet unfamiliar word.
Yami never thought that these two words might fall on her head one day, which makes people shudder.
Soon, the clansmen left by Beigong and Hachinar and the cattle and sheep in the tribe all had new owners.
Yami was also terrified at one point, afraid that someone would suddenly break into her tent that day, and then tear off her robe, announcing that she had become someone, or someone''s slave...
Until one day, she knew that she had become the candidate for "Marriage".
Of course, the word "marriage" was also told to her by other people, and she didn''t even know what the word meant before.
Strictly speaking, marriage is a policy.
Even for the Huaxia Farming Central Plains Dynasty, there is a bit of humiliation.
Since 200 BC, when Han Gaozu’s daughter married Hun Modun Shanyu, this kind of business has become a regular practice. Find a woman, call for the righteousness of her family and country, endure humiliation, and comfort, and then let these women support a few frontiers and impoverished areas...
Afterwards, the dynasty also felt that this method seemed to be a good idea. Anyway, the ones who went to make peace were definitely not their own children.
That''s it, right?
Of course, what Liu Jing thought was not just such a simple meaning.
Liu Bang may be dizzy, or some other reason, which made Liu Bang believe that he is very good, and then there is the "Siege of Baideng".
And before the "Siege of Baideng", Liu Jing advised Liu Bang that the Huns had suspicious signs and were not as weak as they appeared on the surface. Liu Bang felt that Liu Jing was talking about frustration and was very upset. So he arrested Liu Jing and put him in prison.
The siege of Baideng was a shame in Liu Bang''s life, and it was also a great shame in the history of the Western Han Dynasty.
The army led by Liu Bang did not dare to fight the Huns, and was inexplicably besieged in Baideng. In the end, he had to bribe a woman to escape in despair.
Although Liu Bang escaped from Baideng by chance, the problem of the Huns'' invasion of the northern border has not been resolved.
Liu Bang was very worried about this. He thought of Liu Jinglai and asked Liu Jing for countermeasures.
Under such circumstances, Liu Jing proposed the "peace policy" that lasted for thousands of years.
The kinship policy proposed by Liu Jing mainly has three aspects.
The first step is to suggest that Liu Bang marry the eldest princess to Mao Dun as his wife and give him a generous gift. Mao Dun knew that the emperor of Han had sent both his daughter and generous gifts, so he would definitely love the eldest princess as his wife, and the son he gave birth to would also be the crown prince.
The second step is to suggest that Liu Bang often send people to take things that were redundant in the Han Dynasty but rare in the Huns to the Huns to ask for gifts, and send eloquent people to enlighten and educate Maodun and the prince with etiquette.
The third step, on the basis of the first two steps, when Mao Dun was in power, he was the son-in-law of the Han Dynasty; when Mao Dun died, the grandson of the Han Dynasty would become the monarch of the Huns. It is impossible for a grandson to stand up to his grandfather. In this way, the Han Dynasty could make the Xiongnu gradually surrender without a single soldier.
It sounds beautiful, but just like the strategy of cutting the leeks of the six countries presented by Liu Jing later, it is a strategy of dog skin plastering for a while.
First of all, no one can guarantee that the princess given to the Huns will definitely have a son in the future? If the princess only had daughters, or nothing at all, wouldn''t this marriage policy be a waste of time?
Secondly, Liu Jing failed to realize that state-to-state exchanges follow the principle of supremacy of interests. The so-called gap is difficult to fill, and people''s desires will only become bigger and bigger, and they will never be satisfied. Therefore, the more property the Han Dynasty sent to the Huns, the more likely it was to arouse the greed of the Huns, and the more they wanted to make progress.
Again, Liu Jing exaggerated the role of ritual education, but ignored the huge influence of the surrounding environment on people. He believed that as long as the Han Dynasty often sent some eloquent people to teach the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu could be educated and the grandson would not dare to stand up to his grandfather. In fact, the history of the past dynasties has proved that for the sake of power and interests, even a father, son, and brother may kill each other, let alone a grandson who has lived in a foreign land for a long time?
The stick and the carrot are the proven ways.
Peaceful marriage is not one of them, but with regard to the role of the peaceful marriage policy, later generations of bricklayers have always had different opinions, and there have been constant disputes.
Some people believe that marriage marriage is an effective way to maintain ethnic relations in feudal society. It allows the reconciliation of conflicts between ethnic groups and enhances inter-ethnic exchanges and understanding. Others believe that marriage marriage is a kind of humiliation, compromise, surrender and betrayal policy.
There are still some people who hold the golden mean, and think that peace and marriage can neither be fully affirmed nor should be fully denied.
But as far as the marriage in the Han Dynasty is concerned, it is basically useless.
Although it is said that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the kinship policy was banned, but in the history of feudal dynasties, since the formal kinship policy appeared in the Han Dynasty, almost every dynasty, whether it was the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, or Qing, had Records of kinship with foreigners—except the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was a strange dynasty, and it was also a dynasty with strong bones.
In the last Ming Dynasty, there were no records of marriage marriage, compensation, land cession, or tribute payment.
At least not in the history books.
Then the Qing Dynasty, the dynasty with the most marriages. Women who wear clear clothes should be careful, not only have to wear small shoes every day, but they may also be sent out to match wild men at any time...
But now that the Han Dynasty is present, Jia Xu requires the Qiang people to provide "marriage" noble daughters.
After all, is there great national integration? How can only the daughters of the Han people run out?
As a result, Yami''s life was preserved, along with her little red horse.
The people of Xiqiang attach great importance to this matter, not only expressing to Jia Xu that Yami is a complete "noble queen" with the best blood, but also specially prepared a golden seal similar to that of the Han people for Yami. After collecting the vehicle and the dowry, they escorted him all the way to Longxi in the summer of the sixth year of Taixing.
In Wuwei, Longxi, the Qiang people and the Han people handed over, and starting from Longxi, they were considered to have officially entered the Han land.
Below the city of Wuwei, Yami silently watched the leader of the Qiang people knelt down in front of the Han captain of Wuwei, listened to him read the orders of the Han people, and then received the gifts from the Han people...
According to the agreement, the Han people gave the Qiang people two thousand shi of grain, plus one hundred bolts of cloth, one hundred catties of tea, one hundred catties of salt, and some other sundries.
Many of the Qiang people who escorted Yami here saw so much food for the first time. When these things were put together, these Qiang people showed their yellow and black teeth one after another, laughing so hard that they couldn''t keep their eyes open.
Yami feels like she is a commodity. From now on, the money and the goods will pay off.
The redundant Qiang people went back happily, only a few Qiang people remained, mainly the Qiang women who served Yami and some ordinary Qiang people who took care of the horses.
Although Yami was sad in her heart, she still raised her neck like a swan, but she didn''t expect that those Han officials didn''t want to look at her at all, and Yami even saw Han people passing by them. He even covered his nose when he was around people!
Cover your nose!
Does it smell so bad?
Although Yami knows that the Qiang people will inevitably live with cattle and sheep, and often camp in the wild, but Yami thinks that she still prefers to be clean...
But this feeling is relatively minor, and it was quickly diluted. Because after passing Wuwei, Yami can see more houses and fields, as well as those Zhuanghe among the fields.
Beside Yami, in addition to a few younger Qiang girls serving Qiang girls, there is also an older Qiang girl called Big Yang. Well, besides saying some things that make Yami feel hot in the car, I will also talk about some things about Handi. It is said that Da Yang had been to the Han land back then, and even went to Sanfu in Chang''an. She was one of the few Qiang women who had seen the Han land.
From Wuwei to Chang''an, it is also a long way.
If you look at the fresh scenery for a long time, you will feel tired.
『So some of us actually went to Chang’an back then? Yami asked curiously, "Have you ever been to the palace of the Han people?" Have you been there too? 』
『No, I just heard them say it. The middle-aged Qiang woman was beside the car. With the shaking of the car, her voice seemed to be a little shaky. Big pillars, and a clean stone floor...well, no horse manure or sheep manure, very clean...』
Yami stared at the middle-aged Qiang woman, making sure she wasn’t mirroring herself. After a moment of silence, she couldn’t help asking, “The Han people...I mean, is there anything the same as us? Is there a tent? What about cattle and sheep? Don''t they raise cattle and sheep? 』
"Han people also have tents, but they are only used by soldiers. Most people don''t like to live in tents..." The middle-aged Qiang woman said slowly, "Cows and sheep...no, no...they grow those crops in the fields more... 』
『Is there a place for horse racing? 』Yami turned her head and glanced at the little red horse following her car, "Yaya... Yaya needs to run often..."
The middle-aged Qiang woman also glanced at the little red horse, and then at the young and energetic Yami who looked like a little red horse, and sighed softly, "Maybe, maybe there will be a place..."
Yami fell silent, she could hear the perfunctory and comfort in the words of the middle-aged Qiang woman.
After a while, Yami asked, "What about your father?" Are they still in Handi? 』
The middle-aged Qiang woman lowered her head, "Yes, my father and elder brother are both in the Han area... They all stayed in the Han area... It is said that it is not far from the Han people''s Chang''an..."
"real? 』Yami didn''t hear anything unusual for a while, "Then you can meet them?" 』
The middle-aged Qiang woman smiled wryly, but said nothing.
Yami seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, "I mean... no, that... I mean..."
The middle-aged Qiang woman put on a smile and shook her head at Yami, "It''s okay, how many years have passed... And I really want to see them... Maybe this time, I will be like them, forever... Stay in Handi forever... Huh... But I think, they... They might also want to go home...』
Tap, tap, tap, the little red horse is walking on the road.
Gurrrrrrr, the wheels seemed to be crushed in my heart.
fluttering, tricolor flags fluttering overhead.
Not knowing why, Yami suddenly shed tears.
『I...I''m homesick...』 Yami looked back to the west with tears in her eyes.
『…』The middle-aged Qiang woman was silent, then reached out and hugged Yami in her arms.
Yami cried aloud, stopped after a while, wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve, and then sat up. She originally felt that she was not very close to the middle-aged Qiang woman, but after this time, she suddenly felt that the smell of the middle-aged Qiang woman was very comfortable...
It''s like the smell of her mother in the memory.
After a while, the middle-aged Qiang woman picked up the Qiang flute and began to play it with a sad tune. Yami also showed her singing voice and sang songs in Qiang language...
『The continuous grassland is wide and wide, only listening to singing but not seeing people...』
『The red sun is shining brightly and the clouds are floating, a Qiang girl is here to shepherd the sheep...』
『Father raised his army, intending to seize Seoul...』
『Everyone in the clan dissuades, and the ballad expresses their thoughts...』
『Although the Han land is good, the battle will hurt lives...』
『Father refused to listen, so he raised his troops to fight...』
『The people of the family are persuading, and the songs are sad...』
『Daddy, daddy, the battle has not returned...』
