Ten years of Han Dynasty.
The political center of the Han Empire has been transferred from Luoyang to Guanzhong. This city built by Luo Yi is a new city less than three years old, full of vitality, just like the new Han Empire.
The most magnificent palaces in the city are naturally Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, but due to the poor economic situation, they are far inferior to the palaces of the Qin Dynasty in the past.
Luo Yi quietly walked into the palace. After moving to Chang'an City in the eighth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang recognized Luo Yi for his great contribution in building the city and granted him a title of five hundred households. He also made Xiao He the prime minister of the left and Luo Yi the prime minister of the right.
But everyone knows that Luo Yi's actual status is higher than Xiao He, because Luo Yi is a close minister who serves Liu Bang and can enter and leave the palace more freely. Liu Bang always discusses things with Luo Yi, and only after the terms are generally agreed Summon Xiao He and others to discuss matters.
After experiencing the incident in the Luoyang Palace where the King of Qi surrendered to the Duke, other kings with different surnames were naturally in panic. The King of Changsha was afraid and wrote a letter requesting to reduce his title. He had no strength in the first place. Liu Bang directly agreed and was granted the title of Wan. The household chief is Shahou.
Luo Yi walked outside the hall, took off his shoes, took off his sharp knife, and then quietly walked into the hall. Liu Bang was sitting in a big posture. When he saw Luo Yi walking in, he smiled and said: "Ziyu, this is the Yingbu that was just sent. News from the country.”
Luo Yi took it and looked at it. There were only a few sentences on it. It was about Yingbu training his army day and night to eliminate bandits and barbarians in Huainan, so he said: "Yingbu is worried about himself when he sees the misfortune of a king with a different surname."
Liu Bang asked: "Ziyu, Yingbu's training soldiers, are you going to rebel?"
Luo Yi replied: "You broke the earth for Yingbu, gave him the title of king, and turned him from a prisoner into a king. This is your kindness to him.
You are an outstanding commander, and there are endless famous generals in the court. This is what he is afraid of. Without stimulation, he will not rebel. "
Of course Yingbu did not dare to rebel. There was also a military immortal general like Huaiyin Hou Han Xin in the court, and he did not dare to rebel even if he was lent two heads.
Liu Bang was a little disappointed, but then he cheered up. Luo Yi said that there would be no rebellion without stimulation.
That is to say, it is still possible. Sometimes things like rebellion are independent of human will. You can either wait to die or struggle to the death. There is no third option.
The King of Qi was saved by the Luo and Lu families, and the King of Changsha escaped death because he was too useless.
Yingbu is strong, has a bad reputation, has no background, is suspicious, and lusts for power, making it difficult to stay alive.
Luo Yi knew that Liu Bang wanted to eliminate the kings with different surnames before his death to ensure the stability of the Liu family, and Luo Yi had been making suggestions for this matter.
But now a big problem has arisen, and I am afraid that we have to put aside the matter of eradicating kings with different surnames.
"Your Majesty, a hero has appeared among the Hu people north of the Great Wall. The tribe called the Xiongnu has unified all the grassland tribes. It has been making frequent moves recently. It is very likely that it will go south. The Han Dynasty is in trouble."
Liu Bang sat up immediately and said in a deep voice: "What? Where did you get the news, Ziyu?"
Luo Yidao: "A few years ago, my eldest brother discovered that the grassland was in chaos through the movements of the caravans. At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos at the same time.
It was within this period of time that the Xiongnu quickly completed their unification, as if they were blessed by destiny just like you. "
The Xiongnu have always been enemies of the Central Plains, but the Luo family has not paid attention to these barbarians for many years, because Zhuxia is too prosperous and does not take them seriously.
Border countries such as Qin, Zhao and Yan all defeated the Huns, and many famous generals started by defeating the Huns.
They had been divided before, but now they were suddenly unified, which really shocked and angered Liu Bang.
Naturally, the Luo family would not be moved by the simple unification of the barbarians. Even if it were unified, it would only be a million people at most. How could they fight against the Zhu Xia with a population of tens of millions?
What really troubled Luo was that after starting to get to know the Hu people again, Luo Ling discovered that many of the Hu people might be fake Hu people.
Luo Ling has been trying to figure out the situation of the Xiongnu over the years, and then he discovered that there are really many people from the Xia on the grassland, and perhaps they should be called Han people now.
Since the end of the Qin Dynasty, a large number of people within the Great Wall have defected to the Xiongnu. This phenomenon still existed even after the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, among the so-called Hu people, many were losers from the Central Plains who fled to the grasslands. Among them were even descendants of Ji Jiang who failed during the Warring States Period. These people brought some technology and culture to the Hu people.
Regarding the difference between Xia and Yi, King Su has long said that those who believe in Zhou rituals are Xia, and those who do not believe in Zhou rituals are Yi. This is called entering Xia and becoming Xia, and entering Yi becomes Yi.
But King Su had an explanation for these words. The reason why he used etiquette as a symbol to distinguish Xia Yi was because the appearance of the barbarians in the Central Plains was no different from that of Zhu Xia.
In particular, Ji Jiang may have come from Xirong, and the merchants came from Dongyi. Therefore, after eliminating the die-hards, a little intermarriage, and the implementation of etiquette, they could be integrated together quickly.
During the Zhou Dynasty, the Di people in the north were very different from Zhu Xia in appearance. They looked like ghosts to Zhu Xia, so they had no burden at all in fighting.
But now Luo Ling discovered that the Hu people in the north may have suffered heavy losses in natural disasters. Many of the Hu people now look similar to the Central Plains people. At first glance, they seem to be of mixed blood, or even originally from the Central Plains.
Luo Ling thinks this is a shame.
China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of uniforms, so it is called Hua.
The reason why Zhuxia can proudly despise the barbarians is because only Zhuxia has civilization in this world.
Although there are a few extremely stupid and shameless people in this world, most people are just ordinary people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Now that so many people have chosen to defect to the Huns, doesn't it mean that the barbarians are better than the Chinese!
This is something Luo cannot tolerate. If he can't even defeat the barbarians, what else is there to talk about.
Liu Bang's face became darker when he heard that the destiny of heaven was blessing him: "King Su said that God will only bless the kings of the Xia. If one day it will bless the barbarians, it means that the kings of the Xia are too immoral.
Am I an immoral monarch?
I don't believe it, so what if the Huns are unified? I want to use the sword in my hand to see if their bows and arrows are sharp.
Ziyu, Zhao Gong secluded himself from the world, but he would not stand aside and watch the war between Xia and Yi. What is his opinion? "
Luo Yi said forcefully: "The eldest brother's opinion is of course war, to severely attack the Xiongnu's attempt to plunder southward, but the eldest brother said that we must fight quickly.
It is best not to last more than a year, and it must be completed before next year's spring plowing.
Now the Central Plains is too empty. Every household has no food. It really cannot support a protracted war with a big country that unifies the grasslands. "
The end of Qin in this world was much better than Ji Zhaoyuan's time and space. It was a year or two shorter. The population did not drop sharply due to the war during the war. However, because the war delayed farming and reduced food production, many people still died.
Luo Yi didn't say the last part. If the temporary threat from the Huns cannot be resolved within this year, Luo Ling will personally go north and use his family's heritage to attack the Huns, preventing them from going south until the Han Dynasty emerges from the quagmire of war. recover from it.
According to Luo Ling's estimate, the Han Dynasty would be able to recover enough to support the war in at most ten years.
If you want to weaken the Xiongnu, you don't even need to simply assassinate Maodun. In Ji Zhao's words, this is not just to weaken the Xiongnu, but to delay the opening animation and delay the entire Han-Hungarian war. back.
The price paid is naturally huge, but before such a big deal, the family heritage cannot be saved.
When Ji Zhao didn't come, the Han Dynasty gave money to the Huns to marry them. After decades of humiliation, Ji Zhao came. Could it be that the Han Dynasty still gave money to the Huns to marry them?
That Ji Zhao didn't come in vain!
Now the whole world has not completely entered the unknown. The Xiongnu are destined to rise with the rise of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, if the Han Dynasty does not fight the Xiongnu and directly supports a steppe empire at the peak of its rise, can it still be called a strong man? How can it still be called a strong man? Can everyone in the world unite into one heart?
Only a united war can completely forge a unified community. The concept of Zhu Xia has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it is not enough. The war against the Xiongnu can unite all the people in the world under the banner of the Han Empire, and with the integration of ideology, Completely complete the great unification.
Although Liu Bang didn't know much about Luo Ling, he knew that this man was silent when there was no important matter. This time he actually sent a message to him through Luo Yi, which showed that the Xiongnu incident really threatened Zhu Xia.
Now that Zhu Xia was his powerful man, Liu Bang naturally could no longer remain calm and immediately said: "Ziyu, ring the big bell and ask Chehou and others in Chang'an to come to Changle Palace. The Huns will go south at any time, so we must prepare our troops and horses quickly."
As the bells rang, groups of palace people knocked on the doors of these princes' homes, and nobles from the entire dynasty came to the palace.
————
From the 1st to the 10th century AD, the Zhuxia civilization jointly established by Zhou kings and many noble lords was one of the most powerful farming civilizations in the world.
With the domestication of horses, nomadic peoples emerged on the northern grasslands. In the 11th century AD, the newly born Han Empire finally ushered in its destined opponent, the Xiongnu Empire, a nomadic tribal state established by a coalition of grassland peoples.
The rise of nomadic countries will always seriously threaten the survival of farming countries. Although the empire is still full of waste, but in a thousand years of civilized wars, the rulers bowed to the barbarians. In the civilized world of Zhuxia, they were absolutely It is forbidden and no one can violate this iron law.
According to Chinese historical records, the emperor of the Han Empire asked Duke Zhao for his opinion through Marquis Ying. Duke Zhao was a noble with a special status, so the emperor of the Han Empire began to recruit senior nobles of the empire to fight. According to historical records, there were thirty-seven The Marquis participated in this national war. ——"Global History·Farming and Nomadism"
