Three Kingdoms

   This kind of thing is not only for monkeys, and it is not just for stupid people. It is also applicable to those who have read the scriptures and are proficient in politics. The vested interests of the Han Dynasty class.

When the entire Han Dynasty began to dig the corners of the Western Regions, the Huns who had penetrated into the Western Regions early on, that is, the boy servant Duwei didn’t know if he didn’t feel the little **** wielded by the big man, or he knew it and didn’t care at all. Anyway, in a For a long period of time, there was no action, let alone any countermeasures.

   It can be seen from this that the establishment of the Xiongnu's military and political institutions in the Western Regions is actually very simple. It was not until the Han people established the Protectorate in the Western Regions that the Xiongnu were under pressure and followed the Han people to send a large-scale army deep into the Western Regions, and began to farm near Cheshihouguo...

  With the political system of the Xiongnu at that time, it was impossible to complete a colonial political system, even in the post-Mongol era. Because there is an obvious step between the tribal alliance and the feudal dynasty, if you can't climb it, you will naturally be unstable.

During the entire process of the Xiongnu’s influence on the Western Regions, in fact, most of the time they were restrained according to their own tribal alliance system. They sent boy servants and captains, and then collected taxes regularly. Other internal affairs and even foreign affairs, the Xiongnu let the Western Regions take care of themselves. At the same time, the rulers of the city-states in the Western Regions are not required to participate in political activities of nomadic tribes such as alliance conferences. In fact, this is not a colonial relationship of suzerain and vassal at all, but more like a black boss collecting protection fees.

  As for the whole process of the Xiongnu and the big Han scrambling for the Western Regions, it is more like the associations are scrambling for territory...

Looking back at Dahan, he set up the Protectorate in the Western Regions to be responsible for the jurisdiction of many city-states and states around the Tarim Basin. , Duwei, Qiqu, Danghu, general, Xiangzhihou, and king all wear Han seals and ribbons, and there are three hundred and seventy-six people.”

   It seems like a lot, but in fact, these 376 people are really scattered in such a large area of ​​​​the Western Regions, how much can they be counted? The big man turned these people, that is, the "three hundred and seventy-six people", into officials of the Dufu on the surface, but in fact these people did not receive any specific salary, and they were basically equivalent to the big man's temporary workers. , Who is the big one.

And it is very interesting that the time when the great Han canonized these city-state monarchs and incorporated them into the tribute system was earlier than the time when the Western Regions Protectorate was established. In other words, there were these so-called canonized officials first, and later With the Protectorate...

  From this point of view, the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the Western Regions in the early days was actually no different from the strategy adopted by the Xiongnu.

At the beginning, everyone didn’t understand it. There was no problem with it, but it was obvious that the knowledge system and cultural structure of the Han Dynasty was much higher than that of the Xiongnu. After realizing the importance of the Western Regions, they still adopted tactics of fueling, which was somewhat irritating. Do you think there is a major mistake in the overall strategy.

  What was the purpose of the Han court to establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and what was its initial positioning?

   Pin down.

   Beat Doudou, uh, beat Huns.

  That’s right, this was the original purpose of Dahan to open the Western Regions, but during this process, Dahan didn’t gain benefits from the Silk Road?

  『Gongda, let’s talk about the benefits of the Western Regions. ’ Fei Qian said to Xun You indifferently.

  Xun You nodded and accepted the order, took out a booklet from his sleeve, opened it and said: "Lacquer, porcelain, silk, silk, etc. are all for profit." Since the establishment of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, a total of 120,000 Guanyin lacquerware have been sold, ranging in price from tens to hundreds of dollars, totaling more than 40,000 pieces. 』

  『The total sales of Guanyin porcelain…』

  『Silk sales…』

  Xun You spoke little by little.

From production area workers, workshop supply, to production quantity, and finally to sales income, a single item does not seem to be very big, but in the end, when it is added up, Feiqian has already sold it outside through the opening of Western Region Trade. Nearly a million pieces of goods. Of course, these numbers are not pure benefits, and costs and miscellaneous expenses are also subtracted.

After Xun You finished speaking, he glanced at Fei Qian and saw that Fei Qian didn't express anything extra, so he passed the book on to others, and then added a sentence, "In addition to the official introductions of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, there are also private dealers." , has not yet been accounted for. 』

   Even so, Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who finally had the opportunity to attend the meeting as non-voting attendees, clicked their tongues. Looking at Xun You's statistics booklet, the eyeballs couldn't help turning red.

  Xun You only talked about export sales, and did not mention in-house purchases, and other aspects of profits such as the introduction of labor. However, just the sum of the project of export is enough to explain some problems.

  Brother, it is still clear to settle accounts. Xun You didn't report the profits of Fei Qian's consignment sales of goods from the Western Regions to prevent Guo Tu and Feng Ji from spreading the word to the whole world after they knew about it.

  As for the fact that the goods sold to the Western Regions have high profits, it is not a day or two. The three or four hundred years old man knows it well, and among them, the most concerned about this profit is the Shandong generation of the big man.

   It can be said that it is precisely because of such a high profit that the people in Shandong are deliberately suppressing it by self-mutilation. Well, perhaps in the opinion of the people in Shandong, this method is not self-mutilation...

It's like when later generations suddenly want to promote the blended milk, the kind of milk drink mixed with water and chemicals, which is later called flavored drink, there will be a violent explosion against Chinese people and even It is the academic papers and large-scale research on what kind of lactose intolerance Asians have, and then some companies jumped out to say that they have developed a new water-mixed compound drink to address this problem, which tastes the same as milk. And absolutely no lactose!

   This is true, there is no lactose at all, well, other nutrients are also absent, but they only emphasize the first half of the sentence. Anyone with a little brain knows that it doesn't matter whether it is 60 percent or even 90 percent, and there are even more exaggerated claims of 99 percent, and what genetic sequences are claimed, etc. A decent example to prove that Asians are not suitable for lactose. Both adults and children are lactose intolerant. I never thought about how the nomads in Asia survived for thousands of years in history?

   Another point is that there is lactose not only in cow milk and goat milk, but also in human milk.

  Anyone who doesn’t talk about the specific amount is playing hooligans.

   Absolute, there must be a problem.

  The people from Shandong, the great Han Dynasty, played hooligans in the Eastern Han Dynasty. These people exaggerate the problems of the Western Regions, and then avoid the issue of profits, saying that it is not beneficial to recover the Western Regions, so it is better to lose it. Is it really no good? No, it's just that there are no more benefits for Shandong.

  Once the Western Regions become important, the economy develops and the business prospers, it means that Chang'an Sanfu will also be rejuvenated. How can this be accepted by the Shandong people who have finally stood around the emperor? So he cut off the Western Regions at the expense of self-harm, and on the surface he advertised that he was loyal, that only agriculture was the foundation of China, and that business was done by sluts, low-level occupations, and then secretly went to government and business.

In the final analysis, those who shout loudly every day and advocate farming and mulberry as the foundation of China are basically the landlord class. For their interests in the land, they do not hesitate to wind all kinds of stumbling blocks and dig holes along the way of China's progress. . After all, if Huaxia really goes out, the total amount of land will definitely increase, and then the house price, uh, ahem, the unit price per acre will definitely not be able to keep it!

  『At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were the most important. The land of the Western Regions is the country of Zhangye. The Protectorate of the Western Regions came into being. ’ Fei Qian pointed to the simple document that recorded the trade profits of the Western Regions and said, ‘However, since the establishment of the Duhufu, there have been many inconveniences, such as lack of information, lack of orders, and many things in the Western Regions have a lot to do with the Central Plains. It is different, so there are often exceptions in military and political affairs. Although Ban Dingyuan is loyal, there is also Ban Yiliao's suspicion. As the saying goes, Dingyuan is generous and dedicated to Xiya. Tanbu green snow, close to Longsha.慬 also resists anger, courage is the burden..."

  『The same is true for the Protectorate of the Western Regions today. Fei Qian looked around for a week, "Now that we see this disadvantage, there should be countermeasures. In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the lands of the Western Regions existed for a long time, and they existed repeatedly. It is only about the faults of soldiers and generals, and it is not the ability of the wise, nor is it a long-term strategy. You can discuss this matter, there is no need to shy away from it. 』

  …(*`ェ*)…

  The Western Regions, the camp outside Xihai City.

  『General Zhang...All of this...None of this should have happened...』

  『Yeah, we don’t want this either…』

  Zhang Liao followed the military academies who pleaded guilty to the camp.

  At first Zhang Liao thought that these military academies really had a heart of repentance, but he suddenly discovered that things seemed to be not that simple.

   Several military academies fell to the ground, kowtowed and wept bitterly.

  『That’s right, General Zhang, we don’t want to do this either…』

  The general of the military academy bowed his head and spoke.

  Crying for a long time, but only the distorted face remained, no tears of regret.

   The surname of the general kneeling in front is Ma. It is said that they are relatives of Ma Yan, but they don't seem to be recognized by Ma Yan, but it doesn't matter, this does not prevent Ma from bragging.

   Now, it seems that Ma Pianjiang's bragging skills before have gradually come into play.

  『General Zhang, we really can’t blame all of this...』

  Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Then you talk, I listen. 』

  『It’s General Wei’s fault! "Ma Pianjiang said, "He withheld our military pay! General Zhang, it's true! If General Wei hadn't deducted our military pay, we wouldn't be where we are today! 』

  Zhang Liao took a deep look at Ma Pianjiang, and then turned his gaze to the other three officers.

  Among the other three officers, Jin Xi has the highest rank and seniority and is also the oldest. Seeing Zhang Liao looking over, he bowed his head and said, "General Mingjian, General Wei has indeed withheld our military pay. Since last year, the payment of military pay has been insufficient... Junzhong Erlang has difficulty in food and clothing, so I thought that since the superiors have done this...』

While talking, Jin Xi raised his eyelids and took a sneak peek at Zhang Liao. Seeing Zhang Liao squinting and staring at him, his two eyes that were so deep that they couldn't see the bottom gleamed, Jin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said , "...Actually, we are also responsible, and everyone can't get rid of the responsibility..." After a pause, I felt that it was still wrong to say this, and added, "...I am also sorry for the brothers here. I'm just being stupid, and I didn't think of any good way at the time...』

  『So what if you think of a good way? Before Jin Xi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Pianjiang. Ma Pianjiang clenched his fists, tightening and loosening them non-stop, and the veins on his hands appeared and disappeared for a while, "The blame can only be blamed on the superior!" We are all paid as soldiers, what should we do without the soldiers’ pay? You can't eat the soil and drink the wind! General Zhang, we are indeed responsible for this matter, but more responsibility is not ours, and we are also wronged! Innocent! 』

When Ma Pian said such words, Jin Xi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, his face trembled a few times, his lips turned blue, then red, purple, and then white, his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't open his mouth to reprimand and refute, he lowered his head a little bit ashamed, He didn't dare to look Zhang Liao directly in the eyes, and didn't speak.

  Zhang Liao turned his eyes back, looked at Ma Pianjiang, and smiled, "Since this is the case, who do you think is responsible for this "superior"?" Just General Wei? 』

  『Uh…』 Ma Pian shook his eyeballs, 「This...Since General Zhang has already asked this question...Subordinates have the courage to say that these are also the questions of the Chief Protector...」

  Ma Pianjiang looked at Zhang Liao with neither sadness nor joy. He didn't get angry because he mentioned Lu Bu, nor did he stop him because of it. He just got a little more courageous, "General! In fact, the root cause of this matter is Dadu's protection! What will General Wei do? I can't do anything, I can't even do basic exercises, so... I am really responsible for this matter! If he hadn't indulged General Wei, how could General Wei dare to be so arrogant and domineering? 』

  Zhang Liao laughed twice, nodded, "It makes sense, um, it does make sense, go on, go on...do you have anything else to add?" 』

   When Ma Pianjiang heard that Zhang Liao agreed, he couldn't help but straighten his back, "Actually, sorry for the disrespect of my subordinates, the General Hussars is also responsible for this matter!" 』

  Zhang Liao twitched his eyebrows, but his smile didn't change much, "Oh? This statement... is somewhat interesting, can you explain it in detail? 』

  『The current situation in the Western Regions, isn’t it possible that the Hussar General is unaware of it? Every day, when General Wei does this, most of them ignore it. The Hussar General can always take care of it, right? All of us sons and daughters are having a hard time, we are all soldiers under the command of the Hussar General! If there was no connivance from the great general of hussars, how could there be the slackness of the general guard? If the general guard is not slack, how can he give General Wei the opportunity to make trouble and deduct the military salary? The more Ma Pianjiang said, the more excited he became, "So in the final analysis, it's all the fault of the General Hussars!" The General Hussars deliberately indulged the General Guard, which led to all this! 』

   Zhang Liao pinched his beard and nodded, "What you said...is really interesting...well, you think that everything in the Western Regions...is the fault of the General Hussars? 』

"Uh, this... This is not what my subordinates think this way, it's what all my subordinates think. This subordinate is just expressing my subordinate's thoughts..." Ma Pianjiang also smiled, "Changan Sansuke's The common people are their fate, isn't this the fate of the people of the Western Regions? The soldiers in Chang'an are Haoerlang, so isn't the soldier in the Western Regions not Haoerlang? I don't believe it, er, no, it's us boys who think that the matter of the Western Regions is not a day or two, how could the Hussar General not find out at all? If found, why not stop it? If General Hussars could stop the General Guard earlier and track down General Wei, wouldn't these things happen? People will not die so many, and the people will not suffer...』

  『So... In the final analysis, it’s all the fault of the Hussar General? Zhang Liao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and laughed twice, "Do you think that the current situation in the Western Regions is due to the failure of the General Hussars to take care of it, not to correct it in time, not to deal with it immediately, or even conniving on purpose... That's it. what? From what you've said, it seems that it's indeed the matter of the Hussar General...』

  Ma Pianjiang couldn’t help but chuckled, “This is what you guys think… I just recounted it and summed it up…”

  Ma Pianjiang likes to involve himself in certain things, which may be the same as he has always claimed that he and Ma Yan are related, but there is no real connection. He felt that only when he was pasted on something would he appear to be more valuable. This led to the fact that after he made a mistake, the first thing he thought of was not his own problem, but someone else's fault.

It was Wei Xu, Lu Bu, Fei Qian, and the world, and he himself can continue to play the victim, pitifully blaming others, everything is caused by others, deadly Grab everything around you and drag these people into the water, so as to reduce your guilt, or reduce your guilt.

  Aren’t you Zhang Liao amazing? Can you deal with Wei Xu, deal with Lu Bu, and even hold Fei Qian accountable? If not, then you are just chasing down my mistakes, isn't it a little not good enough, not thorough enough? Then there was another opportunity to accuse Zhang Liao of being cowardly, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, etc., and finally reached the highest level of turning big things into small things...

"But..." Zhang Liao smiled, "I also have a small problem...a poor man had no money to buy food, so he went to kill someone on the road, robbed the money to buy food, and was caught, and then the poor man said it was not His fault, the fault was that the store didn't see that he had no money, so he gave him a bite of food first, the fault was that the government didn't stop him when he went to kill people, the fault was that the world didn't give him the most profitable thing Do! In other words, when a child is at home, his parents are watching and teaching him, so everything is fine. Now that the child has grown up, he goes out of the house and does something wrong. The child will turn around and say that the parents did not say anything , didn't manage, didn't teach well, everything is the responsibility of the parents? How do you think this statement is right or wrong? 』

  The smile on Ma Pianjiang's face gradually disappeared, he opened the hand he had been holding, and then gently shook it back twice in a concealed manner.

  Zhang Liao cast his eyes outside the big tent, and there seemed to be a figure shaking for a while, and then disappeared.

  『Hmph...』 Zhang Liao snorted softly, 『Now I know that the hussars didn’t teach, didn’t talk, and didn’t care? What is the law of corruption over there? Even if there is no law of corruption, what are the three chapters of the first covenant of the Great Han Dynasty? The murderer pays with his life! Shouldn't you still blame Taizu for not teaching you in person? 』

Ma Pianjiang also lowered his face, stood up, "General Zhang...it's meaningless to say that... When Dadu went to the Western Regions, the hussars should have known that Dadu was protecting his character and protecting his weaknesses, and General Wei was greedy and fearful, but the hussars The general still sent generals to come! This is the people who hussar to the Western Regions and ignore it! It is to kill us! General Zhang, this is always true! 』

   Ma Pianjiang shouted, almost at the same time, as if echoing his shout, before his voice fell, there was a huge noise outside the camp!
