Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, due to various reasons, groups of Huns often surrendered to the Han Dynasty. The governments of the Han Dynasty adopted relatively appropriate resettlement policies for them. The most important measure was to set up special residential areas for them: vassal states.  "Historical Records: Biography of General Wei's Hussars" records that after the second battle in the second year of Yuanshou, King Kunxie of the Xiongnu led more than 40,000 people to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu "sent the surrendered troops to five counties in the border areas and settled outside the fortress, all in Henan."  , because of its old custom, it is called a vassal state. "That is, five vassal states are established to deal with it. This is the beginning of the vassal state.  In the Hetao area of ??the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River had a gentle flow, and there were many tributaries and lake branches in the riverside plains in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, so there were abundant water sources and their utilization was very convenient.  The Hetao has an inland climate, and natural precipitation cannot meet the needs of crop growth. Agriculture almost completely relies on irrigation. Therefore, the construction of water conservancy projects was an important measure to develop the Hetao in the Han Dynasty.  During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was an upsurge in water conservancy construction across the country. Although Hetao was located on the border, the water conservancy construction situation was not as bad as in the interior.  "Historical Records: River Canal Book" says: "Those who use things argue about water conservancy. Shuofang, Xihe, Hexi, and Jiuquan all divert river water and valley water to irrigate the fields." "Pingzhunshu" also says: "Afterwards, Fanxian wanted to be the mainstay of the province.  Cao, a canal that passes through Fen and rivers for irrigating fields, has been written by tens of thousands of people; Zheng was the Wei Cao Canal at that time, and dug a straight canal from Chang'an to Huayin, and was written by tens of thousands of people; Shuofang also crossed a canal, and was written by tens of thousands of people, each in his own history  In the second and third phases, the work was not completed, and the cost was huge." Judging from the above records, since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Hetao has become a key area for water conservancy construction in the country, and its scale has been comparable to that of large-scale projects in the mainland.  After that, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Hetao area was an important area that was contested by multiple political powers in the north.  Because the water and grass here are abundant, it is suitable for both grazing and farming.  And the population is extremely large. Compared with the Hexi region with a total population of less than one million, the Hetao at this moment has a total population of more than 1.8 million.  Even though the Han population has gone through several twists and turns, there are still nearly 1.35 million people remaining in the Hetao area, and the rest are mostly Turks or various nomadic peoples.  "Since the Qin Dynasty, this place has been our Chinese land. Now it is occupied by the Turks. It has rich water and grass, suitable for both farming and grazing. It is also located in a strategic location. It can directly point to the Eastern Turks' royal court in the east, and it can be connected with the Ling Dynasty in the west.  Wujun is united" "Wei Yunqi's thoughts and ideas moved me and all the ministers very much.  By capturing this place, the Chinese Empire gained an important base for controlling and attacking the grassland areas in the future, and also increased the thickness and strength of its defense of Guanzhong.  "However, it will not be easy to win here." Wei Zheng, the dean without any military talent, pretended to look at the map and shook his head.  "This is thousands of miles away from Yan'an County where we are." "Not only is Liang Shidu in between, there are also a large number of Turks and other nomadic tribes in this area. In Yichen's opinion, if we attack this area, then  , the Turks and the Liang division will definitely try their best to stop it, I am afraid that a lot of soldiers and horses will be used" Hearing this, Yang Gongren next to him couldn't help but laugh.  "Dean Wei, you forgot one thing, we have ships." Yang Gongren saw everyone's eyes light up and couldn't help but show off very proudly: "Our Chinese Yellow River Navy now has more than a hundred warships  , and there are more than 40 warships in the upper reaches of the Hexi area. In addition, there are more than 120 transport merchant ships in the upper reaches. " " Our warships and merchant ships can reach the upper reaches of Longmen from the Hexi area.  In the past few years, due to our trade with the Eastern Turks, our ships have often traveled in this area. They are not very alert, and in many towns in the northern part of the Chile River, we Han people can still account for the majority. Therefore,  I believe that if we want to seize the entire Chile River, we must first seize it. Our warships are fully capable of cutting off the connection between the two sides of the Yellow River. Therefore, after we capture the northern part, we can rely on the warships to blockade the interior of the Chile River.  "Brother Gongren's words are very kind. Your Majesty, I think this strategy has great potential." Wei Yunqi's eyes suddenly lit up. After standing in front of the map for a long time, he expressed his admiration.  He bowed to Yang Gongren and said happily to me.  "More than one hundred and twenty ships, I'm afraid it's not enough?" Yang Shidao next to him said with a puzzled look on his face while stroking his three newly grown long beards.  After working hard outside for several years, this guy finally returned to Chang'an and now serves as the Secretary of the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Jingzhao County.  Anyway, one versus three is the least. If you want to only work in one job, you will have to work hard for at least three or more years. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of training and the grassroots officials below, otherwise, suddenly rising to high positions will not be a good thing for the country.  I shook my head and jumped out to offer my advice.  "It doesn't matter, our warships have no rivals, whether in rivers or oceans. At worst, let the soldiers cut down the wood into boats, and there should be no problem with warships guarding them." "That's really no problem. It's important.  What's more, we can mobilize our troops to the area west of Hexi and board boats from there to go down the river. In this way, we can avoid the eyes and ears of the people."He raised his hands and clapped his hands, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.  However, when to launch an attack is a question. Another question is where to send troops and horses?  It also needs to be considered.  The final decision was to mobilize a field army and two field divisions from the Bashu region, as well as a field army from Hexi and West Qin regions, plus a garrison army from Guanzhong.  Wei Yunqi is the commander-in-chief, Shi Danai is the deputy commander-in-chief, and Han Xiong is the chief of staff.  Of course, we have to wait for one army and two divisions recruited from the Bashu area to arrive in the Hexi area, which will take at least a month.  During this period, the Chinese Empire's envoys headed by Tang Jian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, were dispatched to the Western Turks.  Naturally, we are discussing the expansion of bilateral trade between the two parties, and try to hold back the Western Turks first by borrowing benefits.  By this time, twenty days had passed since the Chinese Renaissance Army left Tongguan. Compared with Li Mi, Liu Wuzhou, and Wang Shichong, who were beaten until their noses and mouths were bleeding and their heads were covered with bruises.  Liang Shidu's fate was much better, so he retreated to his lair and considered his next move.  After Dou Jiande was forced to return to Huaibei, Qin Qiong took the initiative to withdraw from the Huaibei area and returned to the south bank of the Huaihe River.  This left Dou Jiande's 200,000 reinforcements in vain. At this time, Dou Jiande received the news that the defenders staying on the Yongji Canal pontoon bridge that had been erected were under attack and requested rescue.  Dou Jiande could only curse and slap his butt and ran back to Liyang, and then prepared to cross the Yongji Canal towards Weijun. However, when he arrived at the Yongji Canal, he was shocked. The pontoon bridge had been erected before, and there were guards.  All the 20,000 defenders of the pontoon bridge have disappeared, leaving behind a field of broken wood residues after being burned by the fire. As for the 20,000 defenders, judging from the blood stains on the ground, they are probably in danger.  Instead, the tall and majestic warships of the Inland River Navy of the Chinese Empire were showing off in Yongji Canal. Xia Jun could only stare at this kind of giant ship, because this tall and majestic solid giant ship was definitely not an ordinary one.  It can be taken down on foot and on horseback.  Dou Jiande decided to give it a try. The result was that as soon as the crossbowmen on his side approached the bank of the canal, rows of small portholes opened on the side of the battleship, revealing countless fierce arrows.  Immediately afterwards, there was a buzzing sound of the crossbow strings trembling, and the piercing scream of the crossbow arrows.  Rows of short arrows sprang out like headless flies, and then densely pierced the river bank and pierced into the human body.  The crossbowmen on the river bank who had not yet arranged their formations and lit the rockets were all in bad luck. They turned around and ran back with howling ghosts, in order to avoid this sudden attack. The desperate Yayu only said that Dou Jiande  Neng stared blankly, and then suddenly a black-looking iron ball was shot from the battleship, which landed more than 200 meters away from the river bank. Then, a ball of orange-red ball exploded in front of everyone.  The fire, and the roar like thunder.  Dou Jiande, who was not far away, was so frightened that he almost gnawed his shit and fell off his horse.  Then, several more objects were shot out of the boat, causing Xia Jun to retreat nearly a hundred meters in shock. After that, the people on the boat shouted with a loudspeaker.  Only then did Dou Jiande and Xia Jun realize that what was shot from behind was a leaflet.  The meaning is very simple. I despise Dou Jiande for breaking the contract after the alliance was formed, and then he dared to use his daughter to seduce the father-in-law of our general of the Chinese Renaissance Army. All of the above made the Emperor of the Chinese Empire furious. Today, I will give it to you, Old Dou.  A warning, stop thinking about going to Shanxi and retreat back to Hebei immediately. Otherwise, our Chinese Empire will retain the right to use force.  Dou Jiande almost became so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, but the problem was that Xia Jun, who did not have ultra-long-range weapons, could only watch these tall and majestic warships showing off their power and had no choice but to do anything.  In the end, Dou Jiande could only retreat in anger and return to the newly occupied city of Liyang, and then consider how to cross the Yongji Canal. After all, the navy of the Chinese Empire was really no joke.  Its powerful combat effectiveness and dominance over the inland rivers and outer seas of China also made Dou Jiande deeply afraid.  In the end, Dou Jiande ordered the division of troops at Jian, intending to create the illusion of a surprise attack across the river from multiple places, and at the same time ordered a large number of boats to be built.  Even if he couldn't compete with the Chinese Empire's warships, he still had to use some of his warships to protect his army and cross the river.  As a result, this place has completely turned into a stalemate. As for Wang Shichong, he has been frightened in Luoyang all day long. While adding more troops to his brother Wang Shiyun, he sent envoys over and showed a very low profile.  , I hope that I will not be instigated by others to attack this harmless Emperor of Zheng. Naturally, I also entrusted him with the false snake, and told this guy that the reason why I left Tongguan was because the Zheng army soldiers were in front of Tongguan.  , peeing in the direction of Chang'an, this is definitely a great insult to the Chinese Empire, so they sent troops to teach these guys a lesson.
