The Faqiang people have the advantage of being familiar with the local terrain.
Daljia quickly figured out a way to deal with these Han troops. The map Liu Yu gave to the Blackwater Protectorate before was a map of the American continent.
In the connecting area between Asia and America, there live the ancient Inuit people who share the same origin.
However, the Inuit people living in Asia are among the Mohe people in the Blackwater area and they belong to the Far North Shilu people.
That is, the tribe that drives the reindeer.
There are still many differences between them and the Shilu tribe near Blackwater.
If Yin Xian and his crew had discovered the deer messengers of Asia during their voyage, they would certainly not have made such a fuss.
Therefore, Liu Yu has basically concluded that Yin Xian and others must have discovered America.
"As for whether these people are really descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty, I will have to wait until Yin Xian and the others come to Luoyang and ask me personally." Liu Yu said.
In the Han Dynasty thinking constructed by Liu Yu, any ethnic group that can sincerely obey the teachings can find their ancestors from ancient China.
In other words, as long as they are willing to obey the teachings of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu can find a "since ancient times" for them.
As for whether it is true or false, that is no longer important.
"Send an order to Yin Xian, asking him to rush to Luoyang immediately after landing in the east. I want to find out the situation as soon as possible!" Liu Yu immediately gave the order.
"I will make arrangements immediately!"
When Liu Yu was waiting for Yin Xian from the Blackwater Protectorate in Luoyang, he did not miss the arrangements of the Xiqiang.
As an area that needed both appeasement and suppression, Liu Yu was naturally cautious in the candidates he sent.
First, Zhang Jun, the governor of Liangzhou, was dispatched as the governor of Huangzhou, and he was ordered to lead Zhang's tribe in Liangzhou to move to Huangchuan and Shitoubao.
As a force that has been operating in Liangzhou for many years, since brothers Zhang Shi and Zhang Mao died of illness in the past two years, although the young Zhang Jun inherited the position of Liangzhou governor, his control over the tribe has been greatly reduced. .
Liu Yu only needed to write an edict to bring Liangzhou safely under his control.
After all, if Liangzhou's transportation to the Western Regions and grasslands is not in its own hands, it will be very passive.
As for the young Zhang Jun, there would be no resistance at all.
Because Liu Yu also moved Duan Pixi and Duan Wenyang from Youzhou to garrison Huangzhou.
Huangzhou is located in the Qinghai River Valley and can be used for both farming and grazing, which is perfect for Duanbei Xianbei.
Duan Bu Xianbei was originally very Chinese, but after these years of influence, he considers himself a Han Chinese all the time.
He had already refused to mention his former Xianbei identity.
Two months later, when a sailing ship departed from the Blackwater Protectorate arrived at the east coast of Qingzhou.
The pioneer group led by brothers Duan Pixi and Duan Wenyang has also reached Huangzhou.
Huangzhou City.
In midsummer, on the plateau, there is a beautiful scene of green sky and green grass.
The cool wind blew by, and there was a picture of cows and sheep visible in the wind-blown grass.
"I didn't expect that Huangzhou is so rich. Before I came here, I thought it was desolate with no grass growing here."
Duan Wenyang sat on his horse and sighed as he looked at the scene outside Huangchuan City.
"Haha, being rich is good. As long as it is rich, our sergeants can settle down. We, the Duan family, may be able to say "Huang" to those Taiyuan Wang family, Zhongshan Liu family and so on in the future. Where’s the Kawadan clan?”
Duan Pixi said very happily.
Ever since Duan Ji Lujuan led his tribe to surrender to the Han Dynasty, Duan Xianbei has been slowly disintegrated into various tribes that do not belong to each other.
After Duan Ji Lujuan died of illness the year before last, there was an internal fight over the inheritance and status left behind.
From then on, the Duan brothers, uncles and nephews became enemies.
Among them, brothers Duan Pixi and Duan Wenyang were already dissatisfied with their clans in western Liaoning and had plans to find another place to settle down.
This time, after receiving the order from the Han Emperor to move to and defend Huangzhou, the two brothers immediately led two thousand elite vanguards to arrive in advance without stopping.
"Brother, look, the people to greet us are coming!"
Duan Wenyang pointed forward with his hand.
In the direction of Huangchuan City, a vague group of cavalrymen holding various flags appeared.
"Let's go further!"
Duan Pixi spurred his horse forward and ran towards the front.
Soon, the two groups of people met in front.
I saw these people coming out of Huangchuan City, although they all held high the banners of various general titles awarded by the Han Dynasty, they still maintained some Longxi Qiang characteristics in their clothing.
"Haha, General Duan, we have finally waited for you!"
A Qiang leader laughed and said.
He wore a gorgeous silk robe, a string of gold and jade around his neck, a helmet decorated with gold on his head, and a sword with a red coral sharkskin sheath stuck on his horse.
Even the horse saddle crotch is decorated with gold and silver.
At first glance, he looks like a rich man.
Duan Pixi guessed that this should be Shi Mahong, the current chief of Huangzhou.
Ma Hong was a leader of the Qiang tribe in Longxi and was in charge of military affairs under the former governor of Huangzhou.
Even though his official position is not high enough, he has a high prestige among the Qiang forces in Huangzhou, and his words are more effective than those of ordinary governors.
"Haha, this is Duan Pixi, and this Xiangbi is Ma Changshi!"
Duan Pixi said.
"I've met General Duan!"
After Ma Hong and others confirmed the rightful owner, they immediately saluted.
Some Qiang chiefs looked relieved.
"Ma Changshi, where are Commander Zhang and the others?" Duan Pixi asked.
Zhang Jun came here from Liangzhou, although the distance is relatively close.
However, the Zhang family cannot move as quickly as Duan Pixun and the others if they want to move nearly an average of their family property.
"General Duan, I came here in such a hurry to tell the general that Governor Zhang is coming from the north, but the Shangxi barbarians who must pass through have become rampant again and have cut off the road. Governor Zhang and the others may not be able to pass. Here we come." Ma Hong said.
"What? How dare these barbarians be so arrogant?" Duan Wenyang said from the side.
"Yes, these barbarians have occupied all the important roads. If we don't send troops to drive them away from the south, it will be difficult for Governor Zhang and others to attack from the north." Ma Hong said.
Because entering Huangzhou from Liangzhou is equivalent to going from a low place to a high mountain.
It was originally an attack from above. Without the cooperation from the south, we would have to take a detour.
If it's a vertical attack, I don't know at this time.
"Then how do you plan to expel these traitors?" Duan Pizhen asked.
Ma Hong and others hesitated for a moment before speaking.
The situation at this time is no longer very clear to everyone.
"This matter is of great importance. Let's discuss it after the general returns to the city together!" Ma Hong said.
"Quickly go and send an order to all the ministries to assemble quickly. Don't worry about the surrounding salt ponds for now. Everyone gather here for me!"
With the help of the imperial court, the Xianbei people of Longxi have learned a lot of awe since they migrated here.
Therefore, since the Qiang people started to rebel, in addition to attacking these salt fields, they also blocked roads and robbed them everywhere!
It can be said to be very happy.
As the leader, Darja must unite his tribesmen and allies so that he can continue to maintain his power when the soil is bombed.
"Boom!"
When the dull sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, the entire Huangchuan City seemed to be trembling.
"General, look, this is one of the big leaders of the Qiang rebels, Sosaka!" Ma Hong was completely destroyed by the force.
"Huh, they're just some local chickens and dogs!" Duan Pixi said disdainfully.
"General, you must not be careless. There are so many traitors. If they go out empty-handed and unprepared, even they are chickens and dogs, and they can cause a lot of trouble!" Ma Hong said.
"Despite their large number, these people are a bunch of rabble!"
"The real trouble is to eliminate them one by one. The real good way is to gather them all so that we can complete the task in one battle!"
Duan Pixi quickly analyzed the current optimal situation.
As a representative of the local forces in Huangchuan, Ma Hong is naturally not illiterate.
He quickly understood Duan Pizhen's intention.
"Does the general want us to defend the city and not fight them?"
"That won't work. That would be too simple, and it may not arouse the eyes of red envelopes."
"As long as we have elite troops and threaten their salt fields and surrounding areas first, we can force the Qiang rebels to attack the city."
Although Duan Pixi's strategy is not perfect, it can echo the current best explanation.
"Hahaha, brother still has a plan!"
Duan Wenyang said very happily.
The rebels outside are now fighting in the field, and almost no one can resist the troops led by Duan Wenyang.
In order to maintain the violence in the salt field, they must unite to avenge the Han army led by the Duan brothers.
"There are still too few thieves gathered now. Let them be arrogant for a while. When there are more people, we will defeat them in one wave!"
Duan Pixi looked at the traces of Faqiang soldiers and horses in the distance and couldn't help but speak boldly.
at the same time.
In Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Liu Yu of the Han Dynasty had already waited for Yin Xian of the Blackwater Protectorate to come to Luoyang to report the situation, and the rest had to be delayed.
"Your Majesty, Yin Xian, pays homage to your Majesty!"
"Get up, I've been waiting and waiting, and finally I've got you here." Liu Yu said.
When Yin Xian heard this, he immediately felt proud of being praised sincerely.
"Your Majesty's love and affection will never be forgotten by Yin Xian," Yin Xian said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Please tell me quickly where you are now."
Liu Yu directly held out the huge map at the back and asked Yin Xian to point it out to him.
"Your Majesty, I sent a boat to drive piles and survey the map along the coast and islands all the way to the east. Finally, after two months of sailing, I discovered something different on a strange and rugged beach." Yin Xian said.
Liu Yu's interest was already aroused and he urged him immediately.
"what is the difference?"
"Your Majesty, these things are just tools made of stone or wood. They are all very simple. Then there are clouds of thick smoke next to them. After seeing the thick smoke, I sent people to go ashore to check."
"Oh, in that case, not long after you went there, you will have such good luck." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is not the only good luck for me and others!"
Yin Xian was already excited and immediately continued.
"Your Majesty, after I sent people ashore, I found many signs of human activities, indicating that there are people not only on the coast, but also inland."
"I sent people to patrol the area again, and soon encountered a group of savages."
"These savages don't know how to smelt iron or copper, nor do they know how to spin or weave cloth. They all look like they are just drinking blood from their hair."
"They hold wooden sticks and bone knives in their hands. They are not even as good as the most backward tribe in Blackwater."
"However, when I sent people to have close contact with them, I found that they have a simple and innocent side."
Under Yin Xian's eloquent explanation, Liu Yu finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
The fleet led by Yin Xian was all aboard new eight-slot ships made in Qingzhou.
These large ships had many advantages of later clipper ships. They were originally known for their speed, and because they traveled close to the coast, they quickly reached the northwest of North America.
The local Native Americans first saw these tall and spectacular ships on the beach.
Then in close contact, he learned about the strength of Yin Xian and others, especially their military strength, and started the simplest business with them.
Yin Xian and others used the blue and white porcelain, hand-relieving knives and other gadgets they carried with them to obtain many gold, pearls, amber and other rare gadgets from these North American natives.
This is the happiest thing for anyone in the fleet!
In this situation, it’s simply God letting them get rich!
An ordinary celadon bowl can be replaced by a gold cake of almost the same size.
A five-inch long knife can be exchanged for a string of crystal clear gems.
Any other ordinary gadgets can be exchanged for valuables such as gold and gems in the hands of these backward indigenous savages.
The native savages also looked very happy, almost as happy as praying to the gods.
"Do you think these people are survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty?"
Liu Yu suddenly asked Yin Xian.
Yin Xian thought for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I feel that most of these savages are not remnants of the Yin Shang Dynasty."
"Why do you think so?"
"Your Majesty, I have seen that these indigenous savages are almost completely just eating their hair and drinking their blood. I am afraid that they don't even have half-finished craftsmanship of the Yin Shang. They are not the remnants of the Yin Shang at all."
Yin Xian's words made Liu Yu very happy.
What we need now is this kind of calm and collected person.
"Haha, I feel the same way, and you feel the same way, but some people can't feel the same way." Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is that when I go there in the future, I have to tell them that they are the survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
