Chapter 394 Chapter 395 Xiao Family Army
The candle that was originally lit in the bedroom was suddenly extinguished, and the two of them were speechless.

Aunt Shila hurriedly ran out of the window, the moonlight shone on her head, revealing her dark face, but at the moment she was full of anxiety.He said eagerly: "My lord, Hamiwei Zhongshun Wang Tuotuo Jiuhua sent the commander Lu Dian to ask for an audience outside the mansion!"

As soon as the words were finished, a window was opened, and Xiao Xiaomo asked urgently: "Lu Dian holds the military and political power of Hami Guard, how respectable is his status? What is the purpose of him coming to Anhua?"

Ren Yingying also came over, her face was also full of uneasiness, but she fiddled with the somewhat messy gold hairpin, looking a little embarrassed.

Shi Lagu respectfully said: "Reporting to the lord, Commander Lu said that there will be a war in Huozhou, so he came here specially to ask for help this time."

Is there a war in Huozhou?Needless to say, it is related to the Turpan Khanate. In history, the soldiers and civilians of Huozhou were harassed by the Turpan Khanate more than once!Now it's here again, it really doesn't take me seriously, it's the Han people in Huozhou who are suffering!

Xiao Xiaomo said: "Quickly invite Commander Lu to meet in the study! I want to ask the details face to face." After speaking, he left the bedroom in a panic and went towards the study.

Ren Yingying followed closely behind, and Shi Lagu said yes, go and invite someone!

Note the records about Huozhou in history:
Huozhou City, also known as Gaochang City, was the capital of the Gaochang Kingdom in history.

Gaochang City was built in the 1st century BC. It was called "Gaochangbi" at the beginning, and it was an important town on the "Silk Road".After more than 1300 years of changes in Gaochang County, Gaochang Kingdom, Xizhou, Uighur Gaochang, and Huozhou, it was destroyed by war in the 14th century AD.Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Gaochang has been a hub connecting the Central Plains, Central Asia and Europe.Economic and trade activities are very active, and religions from all over the world have been introduced to the mainland through Gaochang. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most active and developed place in ancient religions in the world, and it is also one of the treasures of world religious culture.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Uighur King Gaochang saw that the power of the Yuan Dynasty was getting stronger and the power of Xiliao was weakening day by day, so he killed the state supervisor of Xiliao stationed in Gaochang Uighur Kingdom to show that he broke off diplomatic relations with Xiliao and attached himself to the Mongol Empire.

Kublai Khan, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, changed Uighur Gaochang Kingdom to the Uighur Kingdom and retained his dominance over the area under his jurisdiction.

However, the Uighur Kingdom did not have complete autonomy, and under the suppression of the forces of the Yuan Dynasty, its national strength declined day by day. At the end of the 14th century, Haidu, who rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, led an army of 12 to besiege Gaochang, the capital of the Wuer Kingdom, and the war lasted for half a year.Uighur Gaochang King Barshu Aerte died in battle, and the city of Gaochang fell.Haidu brutally destroyed Gaochang City and set fire to the city.

From then on, Uighur Gaochang came to the end of history. The ancient city of Gaochang, which had flourished for nearly a thousand years, also declined and was eventually abandoned. A splendid ancient civilization disappeared into thin air.
became a deserted ancient city
45 kilometers east of TLF City, in the Mujugou River Delta at the southern foot of the Flame Mountain, there is a well-known ancient city site, which is the site of the ancient capital city of Gaochang.

This ancient city is as famous as Loulan, another ancient city that XJ has disappeared.At that time, this ancient city was an important gateway of the world-famous Silk Road, and had witnessed the prosperity of the year and the vicissitudes of history.

After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, because it was connected to the Hami Kingdom, Taizu ordered the monarch of the Hami Kingdom, the first generation Zhongshun King, to reorganize the ancient city of Gaomao. Because it is not far from the world-famous Flame Mountain, it was renamed Huozhou.

Originally, the Gaochang Kingdom in history was a small country established by the Han people. Although it was burned down, there were still survivors of the four Han surnames Long, Chen, Li, and Zhao who settled near Huozhou. After years of countless wars and baptisms, the descendants of the four major Han surnames have become poor with nothing.

Especially under the tusi system of the Yuan court, the four major Han surnames were even more low-status and humiliated, almost equivalent to slaves.

Fortunately, Emperor Taizu drove away the Mongols, and vigorously promoted the system of "reforming the land and returning it to the local people". He drove away the chieftains of Huozhou City who were eating blood, and issued an imperial decree to hand over the land to the peasants for management, light rumors and low taxes. , the four major Han surnames regained their vitality, gradually became stronger, and many wealthy businessmen appeared.

Therefore, slowly, Huozhou gradually became prosperous and rich, and it became a piece of delicious fat meat that Mansoer and other Mongolian nobles envied.

Given the greedy and brutal nature of the Mongols, is it any wonder they didn't come to snatch Huozhou?
In the study room of Prince Zhongyi, the host and guest are seated.

Xiao Xiaomo said: "Commander Lu, are you saying that Mansuer, the leader of the remnant Mongolian tribe of TLF, intends to send troops to invade Huozhou? Don't they know that Huozhou has already been my Ming Dynasty's territory? Is this news true or false?"

Lu Dian said respectfully: "The cause of the matter is that Mansor forcefully requires the four wealthy Han people who have lived in Huozhou, Long, Chen, Li, and Zhao, to each pay a thousand gold taxes to their private TLF Khanate every year. , if the four wealthy businessmen do not turn it in on time, and Prince Zhongshun ignores it, Mansuer will raise troops to seize Huozhou and ask Prince Zhongshun to give a reply within three days. Now the four wealthy businessmen, Long, Chen, Li, and Zhao, are in the palace of Prince Zhongshun. Crying!"

Xiao Xiaomo said: "The Huozhou is under the jurisdiction of Prince Zhongshun. Now that Prince Zhongshun is facing the exploitation of his compatriots, do you know whether to submit or resist?"

Xiao Xiaomo is also the "Xiawang" and the three important positions of Zhongyihou and Pingluanhou, and he has won the trust of Emperor Zhengde. His words and deeds can represent the court to a certain extent.

So he had to make tentative inquiries.

Lu Dian said: "Returning to the prince, the loyal prince said to himself that he and his ancestors have been bestowed by the Emperor Taizu. In his heart, he only cares about the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and does not take pride in being a Mongolian bequeath... This time, I am full of speed. You come to commit crimes, the court's intention, that is, the meaning of loyalty to the prince!"

Ren Yingying said: "Since this is the case, Commander Lu should report this matter to the imperial court. Why do you still ask my master?"

Lu Dian hurriedly said: "Returning to the princess, the loyal prince is afraid that the court will ignore such trivial matters, and he also said that he is not intelligent enough, so he can only rely on the loyal prince, not to mention the subordinates who also admire the prince's Xiao family army very much!"

Ren Yingying smiled coquettishly: "So you also know Xiao Jiajun?"

Lu Dian said with great fascination: "My subordinates know about Xiao Jiajun because Prince Zhongyi put down the rebellion of Prince Anhua with a snap of his fingers. After being rewarded by the court, he did not commit any crime against Prince Loyalty and Submissive Qiu. Unlike Prince Anhua, who was like Ru Mao, drinking blood and oppressing people." !”

Pitiful!I want to come to King Zhongshun, a foreign prince who has been adjacent to King Anhua for generations, and he was bullied by the Daming prince who was stationed in Ningxia. After he was in Ningxia, King Zhongshun was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
