[comprehensive] mother instrument world
Chapter 114 Empress Lu
Before Shu Yun could see such an excerpt, Xiao He, the prime minister, frowned after seeing it, and sneered: "Stupid!"
As for the big man, at the beginning of the founding of the country, he said that to rule the world with filial piety, Liu Taigong did not fall into Xiang Yu's hands in this life, and Liu Bang did not say anything like "take me a piece of the pie". There is no black history in this regard. Therefore, after becoming the emperor, Li Taigong became the Supreme Emperor, and at the suggestion of Shu Yun, he named the deceased Liu the Supreme Queen instead of some wife.
As for things like filial piety, there is a saying that the father's way has not been changed for three years. When Liu Bang was there, the queen was able to manage the Shaofu and participate in the government. In the end, it was her son's turn to be the emperor, but it was not as good as when her husband was there. Oh, what kind of filial piety is this!
In fact, for people at Xiao He's level, they don't mind Shu Yun being in power, and they can also know a little about Shu Yun's thinking in power, which is nothing more than stimulating the economy and strengthening the country.Now that the Dahan has just been established for a few years, at this time, it is time to cultivate and restore the economy. Only when the economy is strong can we talk about other things. Otherwise, the Huns alone will be difficult to deal with, okay? .
The previous battle of Pingcheng Baishan almost emptied most of the money and even supplies in the treasury, the at least the government's warehouse. If the queen was not good at collecting money, the big man's finances would be on the verge of bankruptcy, okay? Liu Bang threw money everywhere.
What's more, the Empress Dowager is also considered to be a very measured person, she will not interrupt everything, her real focus is still in the Shaofu, and the Shaofu is originally an institution directly under the royal family, who is in charge of the mother and son? It's a royal family matter, is this what the courtiers below should intervene in?This is basically alienating the family relationship of the Tian family!
In fact, Liu Ying was also very annoyed after seeing the excerpt.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was no such thing as a zhezi being intercepted by the ministers below and sent to the emperor. Therefore, although Xiao He said it all over again, the zhezi was finally sent to Liu Ying.
When Liu Ying saw it, it was Lei Ting who was furious. In fact, he had always known in his heart that Shu Yun's influence on him had always been subtle, and he would not really tell Liu Ying directly, what I said is correct, you have to listen mine.
Under such circumstances, in fact, Liu Ying did not feel that her power was divided by others for the time being. In fact, Shu Yun has now entered the stage of doing nothing. She no longer needs to intervene in many things.Moreover, many institutions in the Shaofu have been transferred by Shu Yun to Liu Ying. After all, Shu Yun cannot manage the Shaofu for a lifetime. Even, the Shaofu is really big now. Shu Yun has already reminded Liu Ying, In the future, we should pay attention to splitting Shaofu into some institutions.
Like now, Shu Yun has removed a big farmer from Shaofu, who is mainly responsible for the introduction and improvement of crops and various agricultural tools, as well as the promotion among the people.Of course, although the organization has become independent from the Shaofu, it still depends on the Shaofu for the time being in terms of finances. After it can earn money from the promotion of various agricultural tools, this organization will be truly independent.
In fact, in Shu Yun's plan, the Shaofu will set up several science academies, cooperate with the Shaofu to improve and develop science and technology, and establish a Royal Academy of Sciences belonging to the Han Dynasty.
As for Shaofu, it is equivalent to the central bank, central enterprises, and state-owned enterprises. It undertakes part of the placement of the employed population and also plays a role in macroeconomic regulation.
Of course, these cannot be done in a year or two. In many remote places, the rule of the Han has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so let's lay the foundation first!
Shu Yun had almost no reservations about Liu Ying's thoughts. Liu Ying is not a fool. In fact, the elites of this era are actually very keen on economic matters. As the emperor, Liu Bang was fighting abroad that day. Liu Ying was supposed to supervise the country in name, but he learned a lot at that time, especially, Shu Yun once told him that all the emperor needs to do is to have money, and only with money can he support soldiers, so he doesn't have to be controlled by the court.In addition, it is people's hearts. As long as Liu Ying can control Shaofu according to Shu Yun's intention, on the one hand, he can win people's hearts, and on the other hand, he will have a steady stream of financial resources.
Among other things, in the past, Shanglin Garden was a royal garden that was tossed almost by the flames of war. In the hands of the old Liu family, it was simply used to resettle some people who had lost their land. Of course, at the beginning of the founding of the country, such people In fact, not many, that is, later, when the first grant of land in Guanzhong ended, some people who had been hiding in places like Nanshan in order to escape the war came out, and they were unwilling to leave Guanzhong and go to other places. Where there is land, the fields are divided, and they are simply left in Shanglin Garden for the royal family to cultivate.
For these common people, the rent they receive is much lower than those of the landlords outside, and even if the royal family has any happy event, they even have to reduce or exempt the rent.Therefore, Shanglin Garden hardly produces anything, but in Shu Yun's hands, Shu Yun directly asked people to choose various fruit trees with better fruits, such as peach trees, pear trees, persimmon trees, jujube trees, and chestnuts. Trees and the like are all needed, and then grafted. After the fruit grows, sell fresh fruit first. Persimmons, red dates, etc. can be made into dried fruits, and even dried fruits are more delicious. They are made into dried fruits and sold. Those that cannot be made into dried fruits can still be sold. Pickled fruit with syrup to make preserved fruit, Shu Yun also tried to brew fruit wine.Shanglinyuan is a big place, and after it becomes an orchard, its annual income will increase steadily.
In the past, Shu Yun was still raising rabbits in Shanglinyuan. Now, the folks have started to raise rabbits. In Shanglinyuan, they have changed to raising deer. This is also Liu Che’s idea. The deer is loaned to the people to raise, so you don’t have to worry about it yourself. , Antlers and antlers are all money, they can be harvested every year, these are all money.
In short, the income from Shanglin Garden alone is enough to live a more nourishing life inside the royal family. Liu Ying can naturally see the benefits, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.He naturally felt that his mother's mother had no selfishness towards him, so he became more and more filial to Shu Yun.
Liu Ying felt that her mother's queen was the most loving mother in the world, and she also had a spiritual and intelligent mind, but the ministers below wanted to make nonsense, so naturally they couldn't please Liu Ying.
Therefore, at the court meeting, Liu Ying didn't bother to listen to those who submitted the papers, so she just reprimanded them, took their official positions, asked Ting Wei to interrogate them, and then walked away.
Many people think that these people will not only face Liu Ying's accusation, but also the Queen Mother's revenge. After all, everyone always thinks that women are narrow-minded creatures, and the Queen Mother didn't do anything excessive. If you get into trouble, it would be strange if the Queen Mother didn't retaliate!
Shu Yun did take revenge. As a matter of fact, as a superior, or as an emperor or empress dowager, tolerance is not a good quality, it will only make people get bigger.
As an emperor, the most tolerant person is probably Song Renzong Zhao Zhen. This man can do it himself even if he is pointed at his nose and scolded. What did he get in the end?A posthumous title that can only be said to be a false name. His daughter was entrusted to an inhumane person, and she couldn't make peace if she wanted to. When she came back to file a lawsuit, she would be taught by those courtiers. His sons died one by one, and even , his concubine in the harem openly cheated, and in the end, no matter how unhappy he was, he would have to live with a step-heir.As a result, the adoptive one was simply a white-eyed wolf. After he ascended the throne, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He chased his own father as emperor, and showed no intention of taking care of Zhao Zhen's widow and daughter.
In fact, creatures like emperors often do not want to maintain a ruthless or moody image, but because if they don't do this, if those courtiers figure out their veins, after that, only Will be bullied at the door.
Like Liu Ying in history, in fact, is he really willing to stay in the shadow of his mother honestly, and all political affairs are either from Changle Palace or from the prime minister?In fact, just as he wanted to do something, he was scolded by Cao Shen, who had just taken up the post of prime minister at that time. He flinched once, and then it was almost impossible to continue to regain his power.
Many of Liu Ying's tragedies are due to his character, but now, Liu Ying's character is very different from him on that timeline, at least he has not been denied by Liu Bang, and he did it when he was the prince. He has made a lot of achievements and has a corresponding team in his hands. Even though he is relatively generous in nature, compared to him, his temperament is much stronger.
As for Shu Yun, she is not willing to become a tool for those ministers to earn their reputation. She is now used to traveling again and again, and compared to the beginning, Shu Yun is actually much more self-willed than before. Leaving aside, she was no longer willing to continue to suffer any grievances.Therefore, she can be indifferent to Liu Che directly, maintain superficial politeness, and flirt with Liu Bang, but now, several officials whose rank ratio is less than a thousand stones dare to use her Fame, if you want to have an upright reputation to flatter Liu Ying, the new king, if Shu Yun lets it go and doesn't show it at all, the other party will still think she is weak and deceitful!
Therefore, Shu Yun quickly reacted accordingly. Shu Yun checked the backgrounds of those people, and then directly issued an edict, expressing that these people have no loyalty and filial piety, and cannot be loyal to the monarch and the country. Talent, the Liu family can't afford it, so just spread your loyalty at home by yourself, and don't go up against the people of our old Liu family!Therefore, the edict directly stated that these three families and the like, the five generations are not allowed to be official!
It's also because these few people don't have any special backgrounds. They are actually born in Confucianism. In Confucianism, they are considered to be from the Guliang school. Well, they are more inclined to Lu Ru's side. There are many factions, there are so many disciples of Confucius, the descendants of Yanzi can be regarded as a faction, there are Zengzi, Zigong and so on, in short, there are actually many.
If it is said that after Dong Zhongshu ousted all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, after years of evolution, in fact, Confucianism finally became the final winner of Confucianism, Lu Ru is actually very sad.
Liu Bang doesn't like Confucianism, so there are very few Confucian-born officials in the court. Generally speaking, those who are doctors in Taixue, and those who followed Shu Suntong to formulate etiquette are now also in Taifu, Taichang and so on. Work in a department that needs to pay attention to certain etiquette regulations.This time, they just wanted to speculate. After all, Liu Bang hated Confucianism in the past, and he hated it to the point where he didn't hide it.
Even, as for Lu Ru, he did something like wearing a filial piety to Xiang Yu back then, which really disgusted Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang didn't say it clearly, but now, even if Lu Ru is really Lu Ru in the court, he still has to fight against other Confucianists. He became an official under the banner of the school.
These speculators still have some status in Confucianism, otherwise they would not be able to get their current status. At the beginning, they just thought that even if this matter failed, it would be nothing but a disaster. and yourself, without implicating others.In the future, when the conflict between the empress dowager and the emperor becomes obvious, the emperor will think of the benefits of them.
Who knows, Liu Ying is indeed not someone who likes to get involved, and it's fine to deal with them, but Shu Yun doesn't intend to condone this kind of behavior. High position, then, what do people who still need to do practical things do!Everyone speculates and engages in party struggles!
Such things as party struggle are inevitable, but party struggle needs to be turned into a healthy competition. Everyone compares ability and political achievements, not who can grasp the emperor's mind and who can stand on the victor's side.
There are only those people who think about all kinds of struggles and don't do practical things in the court, so what hope is there.
So as soon as Shu Yun made a move, he directly drove them into the quagmire.
These people, in places like Qilu, were originally considered bureaucratic landlords. Their families had permanent property and lived a good life. Otherwise, they would not be able to receive a good education, but now they are extinct from the three clans within five generations. way, then the problem will arise.
It will be useless for their descendants to study and practice martial arts in the future. They and even their relatives will no longer be able to marry any reliable in-laws. They can only choose marriages at the lower levels. As a result, the quality of family members will naturally decline year by year. , at least a hundred years.A hundred years, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, is enough time for a country to go to ruin from the beginning, let alone an ordinary family.
Without the above protection, their family's influence will disappear, and their property will be embezzled by others. It can be said that after a hundred years, because of their mistakes, their descendants will be completely reduced to civilians, and they may never stand up again. room for.
Of course, if they can put down their faces and do things down-to-earth, it may not be impossible, for example, to be a businessman, or to put it simply, to change to other businesses, if they can accumulate a certain amount of wealth and technology There is the possibility of a comeback, but if they can't change course and continue on this road, then what awaits them is naturally no bright future.
With such a move by Shu Yun, all the people in the hall were afraid to say anything!Sure enough, women are narrow-minded creatures, and they have completely driven the families of these people into the abyss at once, and in order to distance themselves from them, even their clans will drive them out of the house and let them live on their own Self-destruction.
But, it's not his own son, who would worry about them!What's more, in a sense, their misfortune can be regarded as helping other officials to find out the bottom line except for the queen mother and the emperor, and many things will be easier to handle in the future.Of course, this did not delay them from getting into trouble. At least, a few schools that did not deal with Lu Ru, Gu Liang, or Confucianism immediately jumped out, saying that these people were originally a group of strict law-abiding people who were lenient. Self-disciplined people just stand on the moral high ground all day long and point fingers at others. In fact, Confucius has a lot of dark history, and it was all written down by Mozi back then!
Now it is more than ten years since the Qin Dynasty, even the most powerful Confucianism who calls out Qin Wudao now, was the one who knelt and licked the most thoroughly back then, so who doesn't know who!
In fact, these can be regarded as the rivalry between various schools of thought, and those who really sit in the position of Sangong Jiuqing take these things lightly!
In fact, they are not very interested in who is in charge of the government. After all, whether it is the queen mother or the emperor, they are much easier to serve than Liu Bang, an old rascal!At least the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were still respectful of the rules, but Liu Bang, in many cases, did not respect the rules at all.
In addition, the Han Dynasty now has more important things to do, such as the north.
Although the existence of Jishi weakened the Huns' fighting spirit and even their war potential to a certain extent, in fact, in a short period of time, the Huns' power has grown stronger.
Like now, those tribes on the grassland who did not submit to the Huns were almost killed by the Huns, and the rest of them ran to the Great Wall in a hurry and took refuge in the Han Dynasty.
In addition, there are very frequent commercial exchanges through Jishi, which has led to the Huns having a sufficient understanding of many situations in the Han Dynasty. Among other things, Liu Bang passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Naturally know.
When this kind of power alternates, it is most easy to fish in troubled waters. Therefore, I got the news here, and the Huns over there expressed that they hope to increase the supply of bronze and even iron wares in Ji City. It is best to give more tea, rhubarb or something.
As for the Han Dynasty, of course they strictly refused, there are only so many every year, do you want love!
As for the Huns, now that they can trade with the Han people, almost all their soldiers are fed and clothed. Therefore, they can mobilize more forces than before.In addition, they have accumulated enough population and slaves by conquering the Yuezhi and those small and medium tribes on the grassland. Now, in the past few years, there are many more infants and pregnant women in each tribe. Under such circumstances, they are naturally full of confidence, thinking that this time, they must be able to have a good arm wrestling with the Han people!
The reason why they still attack the Han people is because the Han people have too much wealth to attract them. If they can conquer the Han Dynasty, then these will all be theirs. With tea, rhubarb, silk, cloth and wool textile technology, it is very cost-effective to exchange those captured soldiers and civilians with them!
Under such circumstances, Mao Dun didn't need to do too much mobilization, and everyone had enough motivation to attack the Han Dynasty in the south.
Interests have blinded the hearts of the people. When the Han Dynasty was just established and a thousand things were waiting to be done, the Huns were allowed to climb the mountain in Bai and suffered a loss in Pingcheng. After leaving the Huns, they still put themselves in a relatively high position and regarded themselves very high.
But now, the Han Dynasty is not only developing economically, but also militarily. In fact, within the Han Dynasty, small-scale battles have never stopped. The princes and kings rebelled, and some small neighboring countries were dissatisfied with the Han people. The immigration policy of the Han Dynasty is the same as that of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the county soldiers at the top of the locality can solve this kind of trivial matter, and there is no need to use the army of the imperial court. China's field army, in fact, has been updating its equipment and even its tactics.
In his previous life, Shu Yun took out all the tactical materials compiled by those people, and ordered the Southern Army and the Northern Army to train according to those drills. In addition, when the technology tree climbed to a certain level, those generals in the previous life were at their peak. The ordnance used by the Xiongnu Dynasty was also produced.
Compared with the Qin Dynasty, more advanced bows and crossbows, as well as more armor that can protect oneself, have been continuously produced by the Shaofu.In the previous life, the Huns were defeated too quickly, and later the division policy was more effective, so that in the previous life, the Shaofu actually produced a big killer such as the Mo knife, which was never used at all in the end, but in this life, Shu Yun During the Chu-Han War, enough Mohists were recruited. There is no way, just having technical data, without people who can understand these technical data, it is impossible to turn these from drawings into real objects.As for the Mohists, they have actually reached a certain level of scientific literacy, otherwise, the big projects created by the First Emperor would not have been possible.The Mo family hadn't completely declined at this time, and after Shu Yun promised that they could get the same treatment as they did in the Qin Dynasty, they were all willing to become officials and do things!Then, when the steel and hydraulic forging technology developed to a certain level, Shaofu produced a batch of Modao on a large scale, intending to reproduce the despair of the Turkic people when they faced the Modao army in the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Huns want to go to war this time, let them see how powerful the Han people are!
In fact, the brand-new equipment and the brand-new tactics did give the Huns a surprise. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the steel forging technology is not as good as it is now, Shu Yun can’t wait to use firearms directly. The fierce fire oil is enough for the Huns to drink a pot.Of course, whether this can be used or not, if it really triggers a fire on the grassland, then the problem will become big.
Shu Yun has long regarded the north as his own territory, and it's too late to protect it, how can he do things like killing chickens and taking eggs!
Therefore, firearms, weapons that may damage the ecology of the grassland, can be used or not.
But as for the others, what is the use?
In a few years, even if the Han Dynasty has started the directional training of war horses, such as cultivating more hard-working draft horses, more adept at carrying heavy loads, and war horses suitable for light cavalry and even heavy cavalry, but, These are just the beginning.It will take some time for later generations to aim to breed pet cats and dogs, let alone now!It can only pass the selection of horse breeds again and again. This is a big project. In ten or twenty years, there will be no results at all. In fact, this can almost be said to be a century-old project!After a hundred years, almost all types of war horses and civilian horses have been bred.
The number of war horses is insufficient, and the cultivation is time-consuming, which also led to the lack of cavalry in the Han Dynasty, so we can only use the power of infantry and the army to teach the Huns a lesson.
Even in the court, Shu Yun said that if possible, it is best to take back Jiuyuan and Gaoque, which were previously occupied by the Huns.
Of course, the Han people hope that this can be the case. After all, through the Hetao side, the Huns can almost drive straight into the Central Plains, and if they occupy the Hetao, the Qin Great Wall can be connected with the Qi Great Wall, Zhao Great Wall, etc., completely blocking the Huns from the Great Wall. , No need to worry about the cavalry of the Huns approaching the Central Plains anymore.
For this reason, the Shaofu side was on the verge of bankruptcy after a fierce battle, and they took out all the things that could be brought out. For this reason, a large number of civilian laborers were used, even if it is no longer necessary for civilian laborers to transport food. I picked it myself, there was a wheelbarrow, there was a carriage, and it was not an ordinary two-wheeled carriage, but a four-wheeled carriage. Even so, the food that might be consumed on the road would be an astronomical figure.
The Huns were tricked this time, and the Han paid a lot to hold back their vitality.A few years ago, the Han people got in touch with the Yuezhi people. Of course, this connection is relatively secret, but this time, the Han people reached an agreement with the Yuezhi people. The Han people will act as the main force to wipe out the vital forces of the Huns There is also the Hetao area along the Great Wall, and what the Yuezhi people need to do is to prevent the Huns from fleeing north and west.
The Yuezhi people naturally agreed. They have had a hard time these years. Ever since they defeated the Donghu people, the Yuezhi people and the Huns have divided the world equally on the grasslands. The humiliation and threats received as hostages, but for the hegemony of the Huns on the grassland, they are unwilling to share the vast grassland with the Yuezhi people.Therefore, since Maodun unified the Xiongnu, he began to attack the Yuezhi people. A large number of tribes who took refuge in the Yuezhi people were brutally retaliated by the Huns. After some nobles of the Yuezhi people were captured, their heads were either cut off. Make it into a wine vessel, or just like the Han Dynasty, castrate the captives and turn them into slaves.
In short, now the Yuezhi people have almost been forced to the Western Regions by the Huns, and they already have a dilemma.
The Yuezhi people cannot be regarded as pure nomadic people. To some extent, their civilization has been influenced by Central Asia. They can build cities and farm, and their commerce is relatively developed. For them, nomadic is a supplementary , but not all.
It is also because of this that the Yuezhi people are often unable to deal with the Huns. Now, they have even been frightened by the Huns. If they can barely support now, they would have run away!
After the Yuezhi people got in touch with the Han people, they only thought about trading with the Han people, and they didn't dare to think about cooperating with the Han people to deal with the Xiongnu.In fact, they were also terrified. Last time, they cooperated with the Huns to deal with the Donghu. As a result, after the Huns defeated the Donghu, they beat up the Yuezhi people by the way. The Yuezhi people paid a lot in vain In the end, almost no benefits were obtained, so there are some scruples about the Han people.
Fortunately, such things as trust can be cultivated. The Yuezhi people have secretly done business with the Han people for several years, and even obtained a lot of advanced weapons and some relatively common technologies from the Han people. When dealing with the Huns, he finally had more confidence.
Therefore, this time, when the Han Dynasty sent envoys to contact the Yuezhi people, the Yuezhi people finally agreed, and they could not really let the Xiongnu continue to grow stronger. Compared with the Donghu people back then, it was even more miserable.
Among the Donghu people, there are still many tribes who have defected to the Huns, because everyone is a people who lead bows, and their beliefs and customs are similar, but the Yuezhi people and the Huns are not the same ancestors at all. In fact, people had already been active in the grasslands and the Western Regions during Zong Zhou's time. They had always played the role of trade between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and even several Yuezhi kings paid tribute to the Emperor Zhou.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to merge with the Huns at all, and they can't really surrender and all be slaves to the Huns. How could they bear such a life.
With such a premise, I have also seen the strength of the Han people. It is said that the Han people were helpless to the Huns when the people’s livelihood was declining. Decades ago, the Qin people and the Zhao people also drove the Huns and Donghu people to follow. They run around like rabbits. Now, the dynasty in the Central Plains has become stronger again. As for the Huns, I'm afraid they really can't deal with the Han people.
In particular, the Yuezhi people were only responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Huns. In the beginning, they didn't need to pay anything at all. They only needed to find a way to prevent the Huns from retreating to Mobei or The road west to the Western Regions will do.In this way, there is more room for manipulation. No matter how bad it is, it is always possible to find a way to pollute the water source!
Therefore, the Yuezhi people finally agreed. Of course, they also put forward conditions, and they did not dare to have more conditions. They just hoped that after the Huns were defeated, they could continue to make deals with the Han people.
There are more and more good things from the Han people, and the Yuezhi people can be sure that as long as they can transport things out of the Western Regions, no matter what the Han people call Great Qin or Great Xia, or the princes and nobles of other small countries, they will like those things. of.
In a sense, the failure of the Yuezhi people is almost inevitable. They live too well, and their wealth comes too easily. It's not a big problem to deal with the bandits in the Western Regions, but if you want to deal with a race like the Huns with plunder and brutality in their blood, it's far from enough.
In the past, they were able to live a more prosperous life because there were too many tribes on the grassland and there was no unity. They could have both sides, especially because they had money, food, and technology, and they also controlled a huge area, so they could raise a huge army. Ordinary tribes are unwilling to have many conflicts with them. For example, in order to be able to contact the Yuezhi people to fight against Donghu, the Huns even sent Zuo Xianwang as a hostage.
But now, the Donghu people are gone, and the Xiongnu family is dominant, so they don't need to look at the faces of the Yuezhi people anymore. Naturally, the Yuezhi people have become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
Compared with the Huns who have never been loyal, the Yuezhi people are more at ease with the Han people. The Han people are a typical farming people. The grassland cannot be cultivated. It is useless for the Han people to occupy it. In the vast sea, the place where the Yuezhi people can border the Han people is really very small, and according to the records of their ancestors, the dynasties in the Central Plains are always more face-saving. When the time comes, they will surrender in name, and then they can sit back and reap the benefits of the Silk Road. Why not do it?
After reaching an agreement with the Yuezhi people, the Han family has already begun to sharpen their swords, preparing to teach the Huns a painful lesson on the outskirts of the Great Wall and on the Hetao Grassland.
The Huns had no idea what the Han people had prepared. In fact, the most powerful battle formation in the Central Plains they could imagine was the crossbow formation of the Qin Dynasty, but the tactics of the Huns were also advancing with the times, especially After encountering the Han people's arrow rain covering attack last time, the Huns also began to adjust their tactics. In addition, they got a lot of bronze and iron wares from the Han people, and now the Huns are following The Han people also learned a lot from the trade, and now the leather armor they make is more scientific, and they have even begun to learn to make metal armor such as helmets.As for things like arrows, if they can be resisted by armor, then they are more accurate, that's all.Therefore, they believe that they can be successful.
Confidence is a good thing, but blind self-confidence is not. Nowadays, senior generals of the Han people have begun to wear chain armor with pieces of armor connected in series, while middle and low-level officers use leather armor. The multi-layered leather is made by repeatedly beating it with water. Ordinary arrows can't penetrate it at all, and the other thing is.The bows and crossbows of the Han people today have been divided into several specifications, which are normally suitable for cavalry and infantry. Large-scale assembly line production, all parts can be used in common, even if it is damaged, a few bows and crossbows can be disassembled and spliced together, and they can continue to be used.
In addition, bed crossbows have also been produced, as well as large crossbows such as god arm bows. These require relatively high arm strength, and, to improve the accuracy, you need a certain amount of mathematical knowledge and experience, but correspondingly, as long as If the accuracy is sufficient, even iron armor can penetrate three layers within a hundred steps.
The infantry use the Mo Dao, the cavalry use the machete, and even the serial armored cavalry in Shu Yunlian's novel Romance. Of course, they use light armor. Otherwise, the horses are not heavy enough to charge at all, and this is only applicable to small areas. On the one hand, the number of suitable horses is not large, and on the other hand, the requirements for the quality of cavalry are too high. After all, they need to have a certain degree of coordination, which is not easy at all.
In short, when the Huns entered the encirclement circle prepared for them by the Han, they found themselves in a desperate situation.
Their wooden bows and horn bows can't shoot through the Han army's defense at all, and the Han army's arrow rain not only covers a wide range, but also has a strong penetrating power, especially in close combat. Continuous firing of hand crossbows is simply a nightmare!
But it was the first confrontation, and the Huns suffered heavy losses. Originally, the cavalry they sent out at the beginning were not very elite cavalry. They are all those affiliated tribes, in order to consume the strength of these affiliated tribes. If they win, the result belongs to the entire Xiongnu. It is due to Shan Yu's leadership. If they lose, it is natural that these affiliated tribes are too weak and incompetent. Not single.
However, compared with the losses of these tribes, the losses of the Han people were minimal, which made the Huns a little unbearable.
What makes them even more unbearable is yet to come!
The Huns had originally divided their troops into several groups. After all, there were tens of thousands of horses and millions of livestock carrying them as military rations. All of these needed enough space. If they were put together, it would take two days. It can turn the original environment into ruins.
As a result, the intelligence on the Han side was really in place. After the smoke ignited, the Huns had no time to rest and had to go into battle.
Or there is a sweet carrot hanging in front of it, the city seems to be crumbling, and it can be attacked immediately, but why
As for the big man, at the beginning of the founding of the country, he said that to rule the world with filial piety, Liu Taigong did not fall into Xiang Yu's hands in this life, and Liu Bang did not say anything like "take me a piece of the pie". There is no black history in this regard. Therefore, after becoming the emperor, Li Taigong became the Supreme Emperor, and at the suggestion of Shu Yun, he named the deceased Liu the Supreme Queen instead of some wife.
As for things like filial piety, there is a saying that the father's way has not been changed for three years. When Liu Bang was there, the queen was able to manage the Shaofu and participate in the government. In the end, it was her son's turn to be the emperor, but it was not as good as when her husband was there. Oh, what kind of filial piety is this!
In fact, for people at Xiao He's level, they don't mind Shu Yun being in power, and they can also know a little about Shu Yun's thinking in power, which is nothing more than stimulating the economy and strengthening the country.Now that the Dahan has just been established for a few years, at this time, it is time to cultivate and restore the economy. Only when the economy is strong can we talk about other things. Otherwise, the Huns alone will be difficult to deal with, okay? .
The previous battle of Pingcheng Baishan almost emptied most of the money and even supplies in the treasury, the at least the government's warehouse. If the queen was not good at collecting money, the big man's finances would be on the verge of bankruptcy, okay? Liu Bang threw money everywhere.
What's more, the Empress Dowager is also considered to be a very measured person, she will not interrupt everything, her real focus is still in the Shaofu, and the Shaofu is originally an institution directly under the royal family, who is in charge of the mother and son? It's a royal family matter, is this what the courtiers below should intervene in?This is basically alienating the family relationship of the Tian family!
In fact, Liu Ying was also very annoyed after seeing the excerpt.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was no such thing as a zhezi being intercepted by the ministers below and sent to the emperor. Therefore, although Xiao He said it all over again, the zhezi was finally sent to Liu Ying.
When Liu Ying saw it, it was Lei Ting who was furious. In fact, he had always known in his heart that Shu Yun's influence on him had always been subtle, and he would not really tell Liu Ying directly, what I said is correct, you have to listen mine.
Under such circumstances, in fact, Liu Ying did not feel that her power was divided by others for the time being. In fact, Shu Yun has now entered the stage of doing nothing. She no longer needs to intervene in many things.Moreover, many institutions in the Shaofu have been transferred by Shu Yun to Liu Ying. After all, Shu Yun cannot manage the Shaofu for a lifetime. Even, the Shaofu is really big now. Shu Yun has already reminded Liu Ying, In the future, we should pay attention to splitting Shaofu into some institutions.
Like now, Shu Yun has removed a big farmer from Shaofu, who is mainly responsible for the introduction and improvement of crops and various agricultural tools, as well as the promotion among the people.Of course, although the organization has become independent from the Shaofu, it still depends on the Shaofu for the time being in terms of finances. After it can earn money from the promotion of various agricultural tools, this organization will be truly independent.
In fact, in Shu Yun's plan, the Shaofu will set up several science academies, cooperate with the Shaofu to improve and develop science and technology, and establish a Royal Academy of Sciences belonging to the Han Dynasty.
As for Shaofu, it is equivalent to the central bank, central enterprises, and state-owned enterprises. It undertakes part of the placement of the employed population and also plays a role in macroeconomic regulation.
Of course, these cannot be done in a year or two. In many remote places, the rule of the Han has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so let's lay the foundation first!
Shu Yun had almost no reservations about Liu Ying's thoughts. Liu Ying is not a fool. In fact, the elites of this era are actually very keen on economic matters. As the emperor, Liu Bang was fighting abroad that day. Liu Ying was supposed to supervise the country in name, but he learned a lot at that time, especially, Shu Yun once told him that all the emperor needs to do is to have money, and only with money can he support soldiers, so he doesn't have to be controlled by the court.In addition, it is people's hearts. As long as Liu Ying can control Shaofu according to Shu Yun's intention, on the one hand, he can win people's hearts, and on the other hand, he will have a steady stream of financial resources.
Among other things, in the past, Shanglin Garden was a royal garden that was tossed almost by the flames of war. In the hands of the old Liu family, it was simply used to resettle some people who had lost their land. Of course, at the beginning of the founding of the country, such people In fact, not many, that is, later, when the first grant of land in Guanzhong ended, some people who had been hiding in places like Nanshan in order to escape the war came out, and they were unwilling to leave Guanzhong and go to other places. Where there is land, the fields are divided, and they are simply left in Shanglin Garden for the royal family to cultivate.
For these common people, the rent they receive is much lower than those of the landlords outside, and even if the royal family has any happy event, they even have to reduce or exempt the rent.Therefore, Shanglin Garden hardly produces anything, but in Shu Yun's hands, Shu Yun directly asked people to choose various fruit trees with better fruits, such as peach trees, pear trees, persimmon trees, jujube trees, and chestnuts. Trees and the like are all needed, and then grafted. After the fruit grows, sell fresh fruit first. Persimmons, red dates, etc. can be made into dried fruits, and even dried fruits are more delicious. They are made into dried fruits and sold. Those that cannot be made into dried fruits can still be sold. Pickled fruit with syrup to make preserved fruit, Shu Yun also tried to brew fruit wine.Shanglinyuan is a big place, and after it becomes an orchard, its annual income will increase steadily.
In the past, Shu Yun was still raising rabbits in Shanglinyuan. Now, the folks have started to raise rabbits. In Shanglinyuan, they have changed to raising deer. This is also Liu Che’s idea. The deer is loaned to the people to raise, so you don’t have to worry about it yourself. , Antlers and antlers are all money, they can be harvested every year, these are all money.
In short, the income from Shanglin Garden alone is enough to live a more nourishing life inside the royal family. Liu Ying can naturally see the benefits, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.He naturally felt that his mother's mother had no selfishness towards him, so he became more and more filial to Shu Yun.
Liu Ying felt that her mother's queen was the most loving mother in the world, and she also had a spiritual and intelligent mind, but the ministers below wanted to make nonsense, so naturally they couldn't please Liu Ying.
Therefore, at the court meeting, Liu Ying didn't bother to listen to those who submitted the papers, so she just reprimanded them, took their official positions, asked Ting Wei to interrogate them, and then walked away.
Many people think that these people will not only face Liu Ying's accusation, but also the Queen Mother's revenge. After all, everyone always thinks that women are narrow-minded creatures, and the Queen Mother didn't do anything excessive. If you get into trouble, it would be strange if the Queen Mother didn't retaliate!
Shu Yun did take revenge. As a matter of fact, as a superior, or as an emperor or empress dowager, tolerance is not a good quality, it will only make people get bigger.
As an emperor, the most tolerant person is probably Song Renzong Zhao Zhen. This man can do it himself even if he is pointed at his nose and scolded. What did he get in the end?A posthumous title that can only be said to be a false name. His daughter was entrusted to an inhumane person, and she couldn't make peace if she wanted to. When she came back to file a lawsuit, she would be taught by those courtiers. His sons died one by one, and even , his concubine in the harem openly cheated, and in the end, no matter how unhappy he was, he would have to live with a step-heir.As a result, the adoptive one was simply a white-eyed wolf. After he ascended the throne, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He chased his own father as emperor, and showed no intention of taking care of Zhao Zhen's widow and daughter.
In fact, creatures like emperors often do not want to maintain a ruthless or moody image, but because if they don't do this, if those courtiers figure out their veins, after that, only Will be bullied at the door.
Like Liu Ying in history, in fact, is he really willing to stay in the shadow of his mother honestly, and all political affairs are either from Changle Palace or from the prime minister?In fact, just as he wanted to do something, he was scolded by Cao Shen, who had just taken up the post of prime minister at that time. He flinched once, and then it was almost impossible to continue to regain his power.
Many of Liu Ying's tragedies are due to his character, but now, Liu Ying's character is very different from him on that timeline, at least he has not been denied by Liu Bang, and he did it when he was the prince. He has made a lot of achievements and has a corresponding team in his hands. Even though he is relatively generous in nature, compared to him, his temperament is much stronger.
As for Shu Yun, she is not willing to become a tool for those ministers to earn their reputation. She is now used to traveling again and again, and compared to the beginning, Shu Yun is actually much more self-willed than before. Leaving aside, she was no longer willing to continue to suffer any grievances.Therefore, she can be indifferent to Liu Che directly, maintain superficial politeness, and flirt with Liu Bang, but now, several officials whose rank ratio is less than a thousand stones dare to use her Fame, if you want to have an upright reputation to flatter Liu Ying, the new king, if Shu Yun lets it go and doesn't show it at all, the other party will still think she is weak and deceitful!
Therefore, Shu Yun quickly reacted accordingly. Shu Yun checked the backgrounds of those people, and then directly issued an edict, expressing that these people have no loyalty and filial piety, and cannot be loyal to the monarch and the country. Talent, the Liu family can't afford it, so just spread your loyalty at home by yourself, and don't go up against the people of our old Liu family!Therefore, the edict directly stated that these three families and the like, the five generations are not allowed to be official!
It's also because these few people don't have any special backgrounds. They are actually born in Confucianism. In Confucianism, they are considered to be from the Guliang school. Well, they are more inclined to Lu Ru's side. There are many factions, there are so many disciples of Confucius, the descendants of Yanzi can be regarded as a faction, there are Zengzi, Zigong and so on, in short, there are actually many.
If it is said that after Dong Zhongshu ousted all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, after years of evolution, in fact, Confucianism finally became the final winner of Confucianism, Lu Ru is actually very sad.
Liu Bang doesn't like Confucianism, so there are very few Confucian-born officials in the court. Generally speaking, those who are doctors in Taixue, and those who followed Shu Suntong to formulate etiquette are now also in Taifu, Taichang and so on. Work in a department that needs to pay attention to certain etiquette regulations.This time, they just wanted to speculate. After all, Liu Bang hated Confucianism in the past, and he hated it to the point where he didn't hide it.
Even, as for Lu Ru, he did something like wearing a filial piety to Xiang Yu back then, which really disgusted Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang didn't say it clearly, but now, even if Lu Ru is really Lu Ru in the court, he still has to fight against other Confucianists. He became an official under the banner of the school.
These speculators still have some status in Confucianism, otherwise they would not be able to get their current status. At the beginning, they just thought that even if this matter failed, it would be nothing but a disaster. and yourself, without implicating others.In the future, when the conflict between the empress dowager and the emperor becomes obvious, the emperor will think of the benefits of them.
Who knows, Liu Ying is indeed not someone who likes to get involved, and it's fine to deal with them, but Shu Yun doesn't intend to condone this kind of behavior. High position, then, what do people who still need to do practical things do!Everyone speculates and engages in party struggles!
Such things as party struggle are inevitable, but party struggle needs to be turned into a healthy competition. Everyone compares ability and political achievements, not who can grasp the emperor's mind and who can stand on the victor's side.
There are only those people who think about all kinds of struggles and don't do practical things in the court, so what hope is there.
So as soon as Shu Yun made a move, he directly drove them into the quagmire.
These people, in places like Qilu, were originally considered bureaucratic landlords. Their families had permanent property and lived a good life. Otherwise, they would not be able to receive a good education, but now they are extinct from the three clans within five generations. way, then the problem will arise.
It will be useless for their descendants to study and practice martial arts in the future. They and even their relatives will no longer be able to marry any reliable in-laws. They can only choose marriages at the lower levels. As a result, the quality of family members will naturally decline year by year. , at least a hundred years.A hundred years, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, is enough time for a country to go to ruin from the beginning, let alone an ordinary family.
Without the above protection, their family's influence will disappear, and their property will be embezzled by others. It can be said that after a hundred years, because of their mistakes, their descendants will be completely reduced to civilians, and they may never stand up again. room for.
Of course, if they can put down their faces and do things down-to-earth, it may not be impossible, for example, to be a businessman, or to put it simply, to change to other businesses, if they can accumulate a certain amount of wealth and technology There is the possibility of a comeback, but if they can't change course and continue on this road, then what awaits them is naturally no bright future.
With such a move by Shu Yun, all the people in the hall were afraid to say anything!Sure enough, women are narrow-minded creatures, and they have completely driven the families of these people into the abyss at once, and in order to distance themselves from them, even their clans will drive them out of the house and let them live on their own Self-destruction.
But, it's not his own son, who would worry about them!What's more, in a sense, their misfortune can be regarded as helping other officials to find out the bottom line except for the queen mother and the emperor, and many things will be easier to handle in the future.Of course, this did not delay them from getting into trouble. At least, a few schools that did not deal with Lu Ru, Gu Liang, or Confucianism immediately jumped out, saying that these people were originally a group of strict law-abiding people who were lenient. Self-disciplined people just stand on the moral high ground all day long and point fingers at others. In fact, Confucius has a lot of dark history, and it was all written down by Mozi back then!
Now it is more than ten years since the Qin Dynasty, even the most powerful Confucianism who calls out Qin Wudao now, was the one who knelt and licked the most thoroughly back then, so who doesn't know who!
In fact, these can be regarded as the rivalry between various schools of thought, and those who really sit in the position of Sangong Jiuqing take these things lightly!
In fact, they are not very interested in who is in charge of the government. After all, whether it is the queen mother or the emperor, they are much easier to serve than Liu Bang, an old rascal!At least the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were still respectful of the rules, but Liu Bang, in many cases, did not respect the rules at all.
In addition, the Han Dynasty now has more important things to do, such as the north.
Although the existence of Jishi weakened the Huns' fighting spirit and even their war potential to a certain extent, in fact, in a short period of time, the Huns' power has grown stronger.
Like now, those tribes on the grassland who did not submit to the Huns were almost killed by the Huns, and the rest of them ran to the Great Wall in a hurry and took refuge in the Han Dynasty.
In addition, there are very frequent commercial exchanges through Jishi, which has led to the Huns having a sufficient understanding of many situations in the Han Dynasty. Among other things, Liu Bang passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Naturally know.
When this kind of power alternates, it is most easy to fish in troubled waters. Therefore, I got the news here, and the Huns over there expressed that they hope to increase the supply of bronze and even iron wares in Ji City. It is best to give more tea, rhubarb or something.
As for the Han Dynasty, of course they strictly refused, there are only so many every year, do you want love!
As for the Huns, now that they can trade with the Han people, almost all their soldiers are fed and clothed. Therefore, they can mobilize more forces than before.In addition, they have accumulated enough population and slaves by conquering the Yuezhi and those small and medium tribes on the grassland. Now, in the past few years, there are many more infants and pregnant women in each tribe. Under such circumstances, they are naturally full of confidence, thinking that this time, they must be able to have a good arm wrestling with the Han people!
The reason why they still attack the Han people is because the Han people have too much wealth to attract them. If they can conquer the Han Dynasty, then these will all be theirs. With tea, rhubarb, silk, cloth and wool textile technology, it is very cost-effective to exchange those captured soldiers and civilians with them!
Under such circumstances, Mao Dun didn't need to do too much mobilization, and everyone had enough motivation to attack the Han Dynasty in the south.
Interests have blinded the hearts of the people. When the Han Dynasty was just established and a thousand things were waiting to be done, the Huns were allowed to climb the mountain in Bai and suffered a loss in Pingcheng. After leaving the Huns, they still put themselves in a relatively high position and regarded themselves very high.
But now, the Han Dynasty is not only developing economically, but also militarily. In fact, within the Han Dynasty, small-scale battles have never stopped. The princes and kings rebelled, and some small neighboring countries were dissatisfied with the Han people. The immigration policy of the Han Dynasty is the same as that of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the county soldiers at the top of the locality can solve this kind of trivial matter, and there is no need to use the army of the imperial court. China's field army, in fact, has been updating its equipment and even its tactics.
In his previous life, Shu Yun took out all the tactical materials compiled by those people, and ordered the Southern Army and the Northern Army to train according to those drills. In addition, when the technology tree climbed to a certain level, those generals in the previous life were at their peak. The ordnance used by the Xiongnu Dynasty was also produced.
Compared with the Qin Dynasty, more advanced bows and crossbows, as well as more armor that can protect oneself, have been continuously produced by the Shaofu.In the previous life, the Huns were defeated too quickly, and later the division policy was more effective, so that in the previous life, the Shaofu actually produced a big killer such as the Mo knife, which was never used at all in the end, but in this life, Shu Yun During the Chu-Han War, enough Mohists were recruited. There is no way, just having technical data, without people who can understand these technical data, it is impossible to turn these from drawings into real objects.As for the Mohists, they have actually reached a certain level of scientific literacy, otherwise, the big projects created by the First Emperor would not have been possible.The Mo family hadn't completely declined at this time, and after Shu Yun promised that they could get the same treatment as they did in the Qin Dynasty, they were all willing to become officials and do things!Then, when the steel and hydraulic forging technology developed to a certain level, Shaofu produced a batch of Modao on a large scale, intending to reproduce the despair of the Turkic people when they faced the Modao army in the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Huns want to go to war this time, let them see how powerful the Han people are!
In fact, the brand-new equipment and the brand-new tactics did give the Huns a surprise. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the steel forging technology is not as good as it is now, Shu Yun can’t wait to use firearms directly. The fierce fire oil is enough for the Huns to drink a pot.Of course, whether this can be used or not, if it really triggers a fire on the grassland, then the problem will become big.
Shu Yun has long regarded the north as his own territory, and it's too late to protect it, how can he do things like killing chickens and taking eggs!
Therefore, firearms, weapons that may damage the ecology of the grassland, can be used or not.
But as for the others, what is the use?
In a few years, even if the Han Dynasty has started the directional training of war horses, such as cultivating more hard-working draft horses, more adept at carrying heavy loads, and war horses suitable for light cavalry and even heavy cavalry, but, These are just the beginning.It will take some time for later generations to aim to breed pet cats and dogs, let alone now!It can only pass the selection of horse breeds again and again. This is a big project. In ten or twenty years, there will be no results at all. In fact, this can almost be said to be a century-old project!After a hundred years, almost all types of war horses and civilian horses have been bred.
The number of war horses is insufficient, and the cultivation is time-consuming, which also led to the lack of cavalry in the Han Dynasty, so we can only use the power of infantry and the army to teach the Huns a lesson.
Even in the court, Shu Yun said that if possible, it is best to take back Jiuyuan and Gaoque, which were previously occupied by the Huns.
Of course, the Han people hope that this can be the case. After all, through the Hetao side, the Huns can almost drive straight into the Central Plains, and if they occupy the Hetao, the Qin Great Wall can be connected with the Qi Great Wall, Zhao Great Wall, etc., completely blocking the Huns from the Great Wall. , No need to worry about the cavalry of the Huns approaching the Central Plains anymore.
For this reason, the Shaofu side was on the verge of bankruptcy after a fierce battle, and they took out all the things that could be brought out. For this reason, a large number of civilian laborers were used, even if it is no longer necessary for civilian laborers to transport food. I picked it myself, there was a wheelbarrow, there was a carriage, and it was not an ordinary two-wheeled carriage, but a four-wheeled carriage. Even so, the food that might be consumed on the road would be an astronomical figure.
The Huns were tricked this time, and the Han paid a lot to hold back their vitality.A few years ago, the Han people got in touch with the Yuezhi people. Of course, this connection is relatively secret, but this time, the Han people reached an agreement with the Yuezhi people. The Han people will act as the main force to wipe out the vital forces of the Huns There is also the Hetao area along the Great Wall, and what the Yuezhi people need to do is to prevent the Huns from fleeing north and west.
The Yuezhi people naturally agreed. They have had a hard time these years. Ever since they defeated the Donghu people, the Yuezhi people and the Huns have divided the world equally on the grasslands. The humiliation and threats received as hostages, but for the hegemony of the Huns on the grassland, they are unwilling to share the vast grassland with the Yuezhi people.Therefore, since Maodun unified the Xiongnu, he began to attack the Yuezhi people. A large number of tribes who took refuge in the Yuezhi people were brutally retaliated by the Huns. After some nobles of the Yuezhi people were captured, their heads were either cut off. Make it into a wine vessel, or just like the Han Dynasty, castrate the captives and turn them into slaves.
In short, now the Yuezhi people have almost been forced to the Western Regions by the Huns, and they already have a dilemma.
The Yuezhi people cannot be regarded as pure nomadic people. To some extent, their civilization has been influenced by Central Asia. They can build cities and farm, and their commerce is relatively developed. For them, nomadic is a supplementary , but not all.
It is also because of this that the Yuezhi people are often unable to deal with the Huns. Now, they have even been frightened by the Huns. If they can barely support now, they would have run away!
After the Yuezhi people got in touch with the Han people, they only thought about trading with the Han people, and they didn't dare to think about cooperating with the Han people to deal with the Xiongnu.In fact, they were also terrified. Last time, they cooperated with the Huns to deal with the Donghu. As a result, after the Huns defeated the Donghu, they beat up the Yuezhi people by the way. The Yuezhi people paid a lot in vain In the end, almost no benefits were obtained, so there are some scruples about the Han people.
Fortunately, such things as trust can be cultivated. The Yuezhi people have secretly done business with the Han people for several years, and even obtained a lot of advanced weapons and some relatively common technologies from the Han people. When dealing with the Huns, he finally had more confidence.
Therefore, this time, when the Han Dynasty sent envoys to contact the Yuezhi people, the Yuezhi people finally agreed, and they could not really let the Xiongnu continue to grow stronger. Compared with the Donghu people back then, it was even more miserable.
Among the Donghu people, there are still many tribes who have defected to the Huns, because everyone is a people who lead bows, and their beliefs and customs are similar, but the Yuezhi people and the Huns are not the same ancestors at all. In fact, people had already been active in the grasslands and the Western Regions during Zong Zhou's time. They had always played the role of trade between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and even several Yuezhi kings paid tribute to the Emperor Zhou.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to merge with the Huns at all, and they can't really surrender and all be slaves to the Huns. How could they bear such a life.
With such a premise, I have also seen the strength of the Han people. It is said that the Han people were helpless to the Huns when the people’s livelihood was declining. Decades ago, the Qin people and the Zhao people also drove the Huns and Donghu people to follow. They run around like rabbits. Now, the dynasty in the Central Plains has become stronger again. As for the Huns, I'm afraid they really can't deal with the Han people.
In particular, the Yuezhi people were only responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Huns. In the beginning, they didn't need to pay anything at all. They only needed to find a way to prevent the Huns from retreating to Mobei or The road west to the Western Regions will do.In this way, there is more room for manipulation. No matter how bad it is, it is always possible to find a way to pollute the water source!
Therefore, the Yuezhi people finally agreed. Of course, they also put forward conditions, and they did not dare to have more conditions. They just hoped that after the Huns were defeated, they could continue to make deals with the Han people.
There are more and more good things from the Han people, and the Yuezhi people can be sure that as long as they can transport things out of the Western Regions, no matter what the Han people call Great Qin or Great Xia, or the princes and nobles of other small countries, they will like those things. of.
In a sense, the failure of the Yuezhi people is almost inevitable. They live too well, and their wealth comes too easily. It's not a big problem to deal with the bandits in the Western Regions, but if you want to deal with a race like the Huns with plunder and brutality in their blood, it's far from enough.
In the past, they were able to live a more prosperous life because there were too many tribes on the grassland and there was no unity. They could have both sides, especially because they had money, food, and technology, and they also controlled a huge area, so they could raise a huge army. Ordinary tribes are unwilling to have many conflicts with them. For example, in order to be able to contact the Yuezhi people to fight against Donghu, the Huns even sent Zuo Xianwang as a hostage.
But now, the Donghu people are gone, and the Xiongnu family is dominant, so they don't need to look at the faces of the Yuezhi people anymore. Naturally, the Yuezhi people have become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
Compared with the Huns who have never been loyal, the Yuezhi people are more at ease with the Han people. The Han people are a typical farming people. The grassland cannot be cultivated. It is useless for the Han people to occupy it. In the vast sea, the place where the Yuezhi people can border the Han people is really very small, and according to the records of their ancestors, the dynasties in the Central Plains are always more face-saving. When the time comes, they will surrender in name, and then they can sit back and reap the benefits of the Silk Road. Why not do it?
After reaching an agreement with the Yuezhi people, the Han family has already begun to sharpen their swords, preparing to teach the Huns a painful lesson on the outskirts of the Great Wall and on the Hetao Grassland.
The Huns had no idea what the Han people had prepared. In fact, the most powerful battle formation in the Central Plains they could imagine was the crossbow formation of the Qin Dynasty, but the tactics of the Huns were also advancing with the times, especially After encountering the Han people's arrow rain covering attack last time, the Huns also began to adjust their tactics. In addition, they got a lot of bronze and iron wares from the Han people, and now the Huns are following The Han people also learned a lot from the trade, and now the leather armor they make is more scientific, and they have even begun to learn to make metal armor such as helmets.As for things like arrows, if they can be resisted by armor, then they are more accurate, that's all.Therefore, they believe that they can be successful.
Confidence is a good thing, but blind self-confidence is not. Nowadays, senior generals of the Han people have begun to wear chain armor with pieces of armor connected in series, while middle and low-level officers use leather armor. The multi-layered leather is made by repeatedly beating it with water. Ordinary arrows can't penetrate it at all, and the other thing is.The bows and crossbows of the Han people today have been divided into several specifications, which are normally suitable for cavalry and infantry. Large-scale assembly line production, all parts can be used in common, even if it is damaged, a few bows and crossbows can be disassembled and spliced together, and they can continue to be used.
In addition, bed crossbows have also been produced, as well as large crossbows such as god arm bows. These require relatively high arm strength, and, to improve the accuracy, you need a certain amount of mathematical knowledge and experience, but correspondingly, as long as If the accuracy is sufficient, even iron armor can penetrate three layers within a hundred steps.
The infantry use the Mo Dao, the cavalry use the machete, and even the serial armored cavalry in Shu Yunlian's novel Romance. Of course, they use light armor. Otherwise, the horses are not heavy enough to charge at all, and this is only applicable to small areas. On the one hand, the number of suitable horses is not large, and on the other hand, the requirements for the quality of cavalry are too high. After all, they need to have a certain degree of coordination, which is not easy at all.
In short, when the Huns entered the encirclement circle prepared for them by the Han, they found themselves in a desperate situation.
Their wooden bows and horn bows can't shoot through the Han army's defense at all, and the Han army's arrow rain not only covers a wide range, but also has a strong penetrating power, especially in close combat. Continuous firing of hand crossbows is simply a nightmare!
But it was the first confrontation, and the Huns suffered heavy losses. Originally, the cavalry they sent out at the beginning were not very elite cavalry. They are all those affiliated tribes, in order to consume the strength of these affiliated tribes. If they win, the result belongs to the entire Xiongnu. It is due to Shan Yu's leadership. If they lose, it is natural that these affiliated tribes are too weak and incompetent. Not single.
However, compared with the losses of these tribes, the losses of the Han people were minimal, which made the Huns a little unbearable.
What makes them even more unbearable is yet to come!
The Huns had originally divided their troops into several groups. After all, there were tens of thousands of horses and millions of livestock carrying them as military rations. All of these needed enough space. If they were put together, it would take two days. It can turn the original environment into ruins.
As a result, the intelligence on the Han side was really in place. After the smoke ignited, the Huns had no time to rest and had to go into battle.
Or there is a sweet carrot hanging in front of it, the city seems to be crumbling, and it can be attacked immediately, but why
