Chapter 1627 Fill in the blanks
The war in Shandong is raging, but Guanzhong seems peaceful and peaceful.
?After Sichuan and Shu came under the rule of Fei Qian, various silk products began to flow out from central Sichuan and immediately became an upstart in Guanzhong trade projects. Ordinary people in Sichuan and Sichuan cannot afford to wear silk, and compared to the gentry in central Sichuan, silk is the place of origin, so it is not very popular. However, these silks transferred outside Sichuan and Shu are because they are rare and valuable. , the price will double and go up.
?Silk cannot stop arrows, at least one or two layers of silk will have no effect, but silk has some advantages that fur does not have. One is that it can prevent insects, and the other is that it is light enough. For a nomad, any weight he wears will be added to the horse, and silk is undoubtedly much lighter than ordinary linen or leather.
On the other hand, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the grassland, especially in summer when the temperature rises. However, in the desert, the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge. Wearing leather robes in the morning and evening will not be able to wear them at noon. Being shirtless will naturally attract mosquitoes. , if you wear a lightweight silk, it will naturally be more comfortable.
Therefore, it is not surprising that silk products are loved by nomadic people. At the same time, because the bleaching and dyeing technology in Sichuan and Sichuan is relatively mature, silk products have more colors and more gorgeous patterns than ordinary Gebu clothing, and naturally appear more beautiful. It became expensive and became the favorite clothes of the Baishi Qiang leaders.
Middlemen have always made money from the price difference. Nowadays, from Baishiqiang to Linagu, down to the ordinary small-headed people, almost everyone is making a lot of money...
?Especially Linagu, whose extremely fat belly was almost bigger than a ten-month pregnancy.
As soon as Fei Qian saw Linagu, he couldn''t help but laugh.
So happy.
At any time, it is better to find that your opponent is like a pig than that your teammate is like a pig. Thinking of this, Fei Qian couldn''t help but glance at Pang Tong again.
Pang Tong: (╯￣Д￣)╯╘═╛
Lina Gu bent down with difficulty and bowed deeply to Fei Qian, with a smile on his chubby face: "I have great respect for you, the invincible and invincible Cavalry General! Congratulations on your promotion again! I brought something to the General this time. Some congratulatory gifts, I hope the general will accept them..."
"Long time no see, old friend!" Fei Qian smiled and waved his hand, "It would be great if you could come, why bother bringing any gifts..." Of course, that''s what he said, and the gifts still have to be accepted.
Fei Qian smiled and asked people to accept the gifts first, and then asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain Linagu.
"I heard..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "Old friend Baishi, it seems that your place is not very peaceful..."
The business of Baishi Qiang is getting bigger and bigger, not only to the western Qiang, but also to the south, stretching to northern Tibet. It has also begun to establish trade relations with various Qiang tribes nomadic in Sichuan and Tibet. However, as trade With the deepening and expansion, Baishi Qiang was also targeted by some Qiang people in Sichuan and Tibet.
Because most of the tribesmen of Baishi Qiang began to transform into wandering merchants, the original fierce combat effectiveness gradually declined and became a caravan behavior that prioritized life-saving. Therefore, after being robbed several times, The Baishi Qiang people were unable to retaliate against the Qiang people in this part of southern Tibet, and they were unwilling to lose a lot of property in vain, so they found Feiqian here.
Li Nagu smiled slightly awkwardly, his eyes rolled, and he looked indignant, "Those... those **** hairy monkeys! They dare to rob the general''s belongings! Damn it, **** it!"
Fei Qian smiled hoarsely: "Let''s make it clear first, they are robbing you...not me..."
"This...general, this..." Linagu was still waiting for some cuteness, "but the things these hairy monkeys robbed came from the general..."
"But these items have been sold to you...haven''t they? So they should be yours, not mine..." Fei Qian said with a smile, and simple confusion methods like Lina Gu''s would not work at all.
"That''s not the case, General!" Rinagu said, then he stretched out two fat hands that looked like pig''s trotters, spread them out and said, "General, you see, I don''t make money, we are the general''s transporters. Worker..." Then he raised his left hand and said, "There are furs and cattle and sheep that the general wants over there. Let''s help the general deliver them..." Then Linagu raised his right hand again, "What kind of utensils do people want here? Yes, we help them move it... We are really just movers. We don''t make any money, we just collect some hard-earned money and moving fees... It''s very hard..."
Linagu shook his unconvincing fat and clapped his hands, "General, you see, normally, things come out of you and are then handed over to those in the west, and then the things of those in the west are handed over to In the hands of the general, this is a complete transaction, right? And now...these **** hairy monkeys have taken away the general''s things and refused to give them the promised cattle, sheep, and furs! Doesn''t this break the rules? Isn’t this ruining the general’s deal? Isn’t this robbing the general?”
Fei Qian laughed.
?? In the past, Fei Qian used to secretly change concepts to fool others, but suddenly he met a Baishi Qiang man who could secretly change concepts to fool him. Fei Qian found it quite interesting for a while.
Where did you learn this from?
With this said, it seems that this fallacy can still be established...
"Let''s not talk about this problem for now..." Fei Qian chuckled and said, "Tell me about those people who robbed things. How come I heard that they are also Qiang people like you? What, did you have any grudges before?"
Lina Gu said with a bitter face: "How can there be any enmity between us... This, this, haha, it''s these hairy monkeys and... they didn''t have a very good relationship with you before, well..."
“Could he be a descendant of Shaodangmi Tang?” Pang Tong said suddenly as he listened.
Linagu nodded and said, "Yes, he is the descendant of Shaodang..."
"Shaodang Qiang?" Fei Qian frowned and said, "Hasn''t it already declined a long time ago?" Shaodang Qiang was originally a relatively powerful Qiang tribe in Longxi. It rose to prominence at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and immediately fought back and forth with the Eastern Han Dynasty. For decades, each had its own victories and defeats, but in the end it was still unable to consume the big man. After several major defeats, it failed to recover and gradually declined.
Mi Tang was the leader of Shaodang Qiang and the son of Mi Wu, the king of Qiang. After Mi Wu was killed by Zhang Yu, the captain of the Qiang Protector of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mi Tang became the leader, but from that time on, the title of Qiang King disappeared. After that, Mi Tang led the Qiang people to resist the Eastern Han Dynasty many times. , later died of illness, and his tribe withdrew from the Han''s sight.
After burning the Qiang, the Qiang will be eliminated first. Subsequently, the Xianling Qiang rebellion continued until the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. People such as Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, etc. all became famous because of the Xianling Qiang rebellion.
?Lina Gu glanced at Fei Qian''s face and said: "Shaodang is no longer called Shaodang, it''s called Tang Yan...also called Congchong...and then he was with Pi Ren..."
Refute the Qiang?
In fact, the pronunciation of the word "Qiang" is not "qiang" in Chinese characters, but should be pronounced as "ljong", which seems to be somewhat similar to the pronunciation of Yueshi. As for Pi Qiang, the syllable that Baishi Qiangli said in ancient times should be "Bodljong". The more similar one is Pi Qiang. "You mean..." Fei Qian said, "This is the Qiang who robbed your goods?"
Lina Gu smiled, "Well, well, these are the people who dared to embezzle the general''s..."
"Let''s not talk about the goods for now..." Fei Qian waved his hand, "Is this the case? To be honest, old friend, the distance over there is indeed too far..." Even in later generations, the population of the entire snow area is very sparse, so if Just for dozens and hundreds of cattle and sheep, it is not worth going to war. After all, if the army is dispatched, it will not be a matter of dozens and hundreds of cattle and sheep. It will consume even more, and it is a type of loss that outweighs the gain.
"Huh?" Lina Gu said with some confusion, "Didn''t I hear that the generals sent people to Da Qin and Shen Du? And the envoys of Da Qin and Shen Du came here? Isn''t the distance between Da Qin and Shen Du even further? And if you want to remove the poison from your body, you have to go through Pi Qiang’s territory, right?”
“Body poison?” Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, “Go get the album!”
This is a bit interesting. It’s not that Fei Qian is going to attack Shendu now and march into the snowy area. It’s just that a few days ago, Fei Qian just declared with great righteousness that he would look further ahead, and now he heard that Are you ignoring the news about being poisoned?
Furthermore, in Fei Qian''s impression, he believed that the Himalayas over the snowy area were an unsurmountable existence. However, after listening to Lina Gu''s words, it seemed that since the Western Han Dynasty, Qiang people had already crossed the Himalayas in that area. Region of India?
The map was quickly brought over. On the huge map, under the elongated Western Region Corridor, there was a largely blank area with only four words, "Tibetan Qiang" written on it.
"Come on, old friend, tell me what you know..." Fei Qian pointed to the atlas and said to Lina Gu, "We are here now, here is Hanzhong, here is Longyou, and then your tribe Is the location...probably here...and then to the south, there is something there, please tell me..."
In the Han Dynasty, and even in the Tang Dynasty, the regional survey of Tibet was relatively weak. The entire snow area was basically allowed to come and go by nomadic people, and there was no farming and settlement. As a result, neither this area nor the Chinese dynasty in the Central Plains had much knowledge. Good communication and exchange have even been deeply influenced by ancient India. Tibetan Buddhism has even continued to later generations. This cannot but be said to be a problem.
"This...is the White Horse Qiang..." Lina Gu frowned, thinking, and carefully pointed to the south from where his people gathered, and said.
"Wait a minute... is there anyone else on the white horse?" Pang Tong took out a pen from somewhere and asked casually, "Where is Qing Yi?"
?Linagu said: "Well, there are still some white horses, not much left... Qing Yi, basically gone..."
"It''s okay, go on..." Fei Qian said, pointing to the area near southern Tibet, "The focus is on the situation in this area..."
"This is the Pied Qiang Kingdom..." Lina Gu said, "I don''t know how big it is exactly... The northwest part of the Pied Qiang Kingdom is the Tang Yan Kingdom. The north of the Tang Yan Kingdom is basically desert, and further north it is about a hundred miles away. There is a large piece of water and grassland in the land, which is the territory of the Subi Kingdom. Then to the west of the Subi Kingdom, there are three kingdoms, mixed together, called the Boha Kingdom, the Yangtong Kingdom, and the Xiangxiong Kingdom..."
"Haha, here, here..." Lina Gu pointed in the west of the snow area and said, as if he remembered something interesting, with a strange smile on his face, "In this place, there is a tribe, all It’s a woman…very interesting, very interesting…”
What does "very interesting" mean?
"Hehe, hehe, there are all women here. As long as they can defeat the female warriors of their tribe, it''s okay, hehe...hehehe..." Lina Gu smiled, stretched out his fat hands, and lifted his belly. .
? Fei Qian looked at Lina Gu and felt a wretched aura rising from Lina Gu''s body...
?Oh, Fei Qian nodded and guessed a bit.
?? Could it be that there are still tribes with a matriarchal society here?
In this way, is this the prototype of the daughter country that the fair and tender elder Tang went to?
??Fei Qian always thought that the daughter country was in the area of ??ancient India, but he didn''t expect that there was such a existence in the snow area...
"The general''s goods..." Linagu chuckled a few times, pointed down and said, "It was all going well before the Qiang... But when it came to the southernmost Qiang people... these poor devils not only refused to give anything, , and even robbed the general’s goods…”
"It''s indeed a bit far..." Fei Qian frowned.
??The Pied Qiang is almost at the southernmost end of the entire snow area, that is, the side close to the Himalayas. Of course, if there is contact with ancient India, it is naturally the Pied Qiang that has the greatest possibility.
“How do you know there are poisonous people here?” Fei Qian asked again.
Lina Gu said: "I have seen people coming from this direction before... they are dark and thin. They say that as long as you believe in their so-and-so, you will have endless enjoyment after death. They also want to ask me for any words and give them as much as they want." money…"
“Then what?” Fei Qian asked, “Where are the people?”
Lina Gu laughed awkwardly, "I blasted them away..."
Fei Qian said nothing, just nodded slightly.
Lina Gu looked at Fei Qian, rolled his eyes a few times, and then said: "General... about this matter, we really can''t let these hairy monkeys disobey the rules... General, tell me, if these people all imitate the hairy monkeys, Just the same, if you just come here to grab things, will anyone be willing to do business in a polite manner in the future? We don’t have to do business, but we can’t break the rules, right, general?”
Fei Qian glanced at Lina Gu, and this was on point. Robbery and theft are all about using force to obtain property. Once these guys become a habit, and the effect of broken windows attracts other people, it will be a big trouble for subsequent management.
?But it’s really too far…
Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong and saw that Pang Tong indicated that he had memorized everything Lina Gu said. He nodded and said with a smile: "Old friend, this matter needs to be dealt with, but there is no rush. Today, isn''t it... Let''s drink first today, and there''s something good, old friend, you must have never seen it before?"
When Linagu heard the word "good stuff", the fat on her cheeks trembled as a habit, "Okay, good stuff? That...is expensive?"
"As the saying goes, good products are not cheap, but cheap products are not good..." Fei Qian laughed and led Lina Gu to the courtyard where the banquet was held. "Come here, let''s take a look... and then we''ll know..." I won’t charge you any money…”
