Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 290 Let the Shiwei people go east
"My lord, Ugu Humar met with His Highness the King of Qin in the Song Dynasty. He came late to receive the imperial edict, and he will be punished by death.

In the Song army's formation, Ugu Humar rode into the formation one by one and knelt down outside Zhao Guangmei's carriage, very humbly.

"Come on."

"Here"

Zhao Guangmei didn't want to pursue his unruly fault. He came here to solve the problem.

Ugu Humar was completely stunned. He had thought that the Song Army was powerful, but he really didn't expect that the Song Army would be so powerful.

Even the party members actually have camel cannons in their hands.

It seems that he is also used as a dog for the Song people, and the close relationship between them is still very clear.

It is impossible to attack such a military formation. If you really want to fight the Song people, the only way is to use the Song army's slow movement speed to engage in mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, and harass the Song army's supply lines.

But the problem is that he is here to occupy the grassland. This movement of his is nothing more than occupying the grassland.

Furthermore, he knew about the Song Dynasty's plan to build a railway. If nothing else happened, the Song Dynasty's railway would be laid on the grassland in a few years. By then, this battle would be even more impossible to fight. The Song army would be mobile. This characteristic of weak sex will definitely be further compensated.

This is an opponent that is simply impossible to fight against. Everyone is not on the same level at all.

Moreover, the Song Army only defeated Shi Wei from the beginning to the end and did not take the opportunity to pursue. Wu Guhu knew that although the Song Army marched slowly as a whole, it still had light cavalry inside. Moreover, even if the Song Army did not have party members, there must be some. .

This shows that Zhao Guangmei is still willing to give him a chance and does not want to kill Shi Wei.

After comprehensive consideration, Ugu Humar rode into the Song army alone.

After getting in the car, he saw that Zhao Guangmei did not make things difficult for him, and did not even ridicule him verbally. He immediately realized that Zhao Guangmei did not have much resentment towards him and might even feel guilty. Taking this into consideration, he immediately changed his strategy. As soon as he knelt down, the big Wugu man started crying loudly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am disrespectful to you and to the Song Dynasty. I, I, I, we Shiwei people are really miserable~!"

"Um... My dear, please don't get excited. If you have anything to do, get up first and talk about it later."

When Uguhumar saw this, he immediately realized that what he thought was right, Zhao Guangmei was still very gentle, so instead of getting up, he cried even harder.

"Your Highness, you don't know something. In the area of ​​Shiwei, except for a few large lakes in the far north where rich water plants can grow, the rest of the place is fragmented and cannot support many people. A piece of grassland Being able to support a thousand people is already considered a lot. Any less, even 100 people, would be difficult. If you give birth to a few more people, you won't be able to support them. The old man will have to go to the desert and starve to death. The child must be thrown to death with his own hands.”

"In ten years, it is extremely difficult to have five good years with normal harvests. On weekdays, it snows heavily or there is wind and sand. Has your Highness ever seen the sandstorms on the grassland? When it blocks out the sky and the sun, All the grass will be covered and the livestock will starve.”

"Sometimes, the sand comes this year and can go back next year, but most of the time, the sand comes and doesn't leave. The pasture that could support 1000 people can only support 500 people. In more serious cases, this The blade of grass is gone now."

"Grass is the life of us herders. Without grass, there is no life. We can only kill our wives, children, and parents with our own hands, pick up swords and guns and go to other tribes to rob them. If we rob the land, we can live. If you don’t get it, you will die.”

"So even those tribes that are lucky enough to have good weather cannot live in peace, because every year, or even every day, they have to fear being robbed by other tribes."

"Your Highness, you know, except for a few people in my family who occupy most of the Great Lakes, there are really... really... wu wu wu... very few men can live to be 40 years old!"

"We have to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty. We really have no choice. We want grass and we also want to live. The grassland now occupied by the Khitan people originally belonged to us. It was they who robbed our grass and took it away. We rushed to the depths of the desert, we Shiwei people, to get back what belongs to us!"

Zhao Guangmei was also a little speechless. Before he could say anything, Xiao Chuo, who was helping Zhao Guangmei peel orange peels, became unhappy. He couldn't help but cursed: "Bah! You can talk nonsense. That land used to be our Uighurs." of."

Zhao Guangmei simply interrupted: "Stop talking nonsense, bring up the matter of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, and play the same trick as the Song Dynasty has been doing since ancient times? Why don't you say that you were from the Huns before?"

This kind of thing has always been done by the public and the mother-in-law. Moreover, the grassland people have no history of trust. They are passed down orally from generation to generation, and it becomes a bad thing if it is passed down.

If he really wants to tell it, maybe the ancestors of the Shiwei people were indeed grazing on this grassland and were driven out. Xiao Chuo is right, well... Although it is a bit strange for him to call himself a Uighur, Shiwei people Is it true that Wei used to be the younger brother of the Uighurs?

However, the core reason is actually a problem of population. The Mongolian Plateau is not actually a Shura hell. To put it bluntly, they are too fertile.

Human beings are so strange. The poorer they are, the poorer they are. It makes no sense at all.

The population of the Shiwei people has always far exceeded the limit that the Mongolian Plateau can bear, so they keep killing each other. Once they are unified, they will rush outside to kill.In fact, if we really want to deal with them, we just need to learn from the history of Liao Dynasty.

Historically, they and the Liao Kingdom sometimes fought and traded with each other. Later, the Liao Kingdom was so annoyed by these poor people that they simply gave them some money every year, started some trade, and then supported agents and so on. .

Soon this group of people fell into disrepute, and later they were even bullied by the Jurchens.

As a result, the Jurchens did not know how powerful the Shiwei people were, and they did not understand what Huairou meant. They blindly ruled barbarically and suppressed them, and they were surprised to see Genghis Khan come out of the suppression.

In fact, it was the same in the Ming Dynasty, and fighting was not allowed. But later on, there were more people engaged in smuggling in the Ming Dynasty, and various trades were exchanged. They also quickly became useless, and they were even willing to be pawns for the Jurchens. dog.

As for the Qing Dynasty...

The Qing Dynasty knew how to deal with them very well. From the beginning to the end, there was not much trouble, and the level of tension was jaw-dropping.

To put it simply, this nation is invincible when they are hungry, but not so good when they are full. Once their life gets better, they will immediately sing and dance and ride horses to Nanshan.

The root cause lies in the four words "the poorer the better, the better off." With these four words, in fact, even if all the people in Shiwei are killed, it will still only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

A small number of Shiwei people will continue to multiply on the Mongolian Plateau. As long as the four words "the poorer the poorer, the more prosperous" remain unchanged, there will be no end to the Shiwei people.

Zhao Guangmei said: "You have worked very hard. Of course I know that this time I, the Song Dynasty, conquered the Liao Dynasty, and you have taken the greatest credit. Of course, I, the Song Dynasty, will not let you continue to be so poor. Who are you?"

"Ah, yes, yes, so Your Highness, please give us Shiwei people a way to survive."

"Okay, don't make yourself look so pitiful."

After saying that, Zhao Guangmei was really angry, stood up and kicked him several times.

"I've been asking you to come and talk to me, talk, talk, you have to be stubborn, you have to be stubborn, do you think too highly of yourself or do you look down on me too much? I let you be stubborn, let you Strong."

Uguhumar didn't say a word, just kept his head down and was being kicked.

"Isn't it just a trick? Ah? You are my vassal state. We have such an iron-clad relationship. How can I do something to let the Khitans take advantage and make my younger brother suffer? I don't agree with you occupying this pasture. You You have such a big temper? Huh? I will let you be stubborn, let you be stubborn!"

Uguhumar knew that Zhao Guangmei was just letting off steam, so he immediately curled up into a ball in a very cooperative manner, yelling, as if he had beaten him badly, and kept begging for mercy.

"Okay, let's get up and talk about it. You Wugu must leave this grassland. This is not the grassland of the Khitan people. It is now the grassland of the Song Dynasty. Do you understand?"

"Yes Yes."

"You Shiwei people, I have found three ways out for you. You can choose any of them. The first one is that those who are willing to go back to the desert can go back to the desert. But every year, I, the Song Dynasty, will invest 100 million yuan in Shiwei for you. The money for afforestation will not stop until the desert is completely cured.”

"In addition, go and find out if there are any large mines, iron mines, or coal mines in your territory. As long as you can find them and they are big enough, I will build the railway there and give you a railway. I guarantee that you can earn a lot of money just by selling the mines. To live a good life.”

"Article [-], there is nothing to say. I allow you to go to Dunhuang and fight against the Semu people with the Guiyi Army."

"Third, if you really don't want to go back, go east. There is Korea in the east. I intend to immigrate you there."

"Ah? Then, can the Koreans agree?"

"They agree or disagree. Do the Khitans agree that you are here to grab pasture? You even dare to attack the Khitans, but are you still afraid of Goryeo? Even if you fight, I support you. The land in Goryeo is also very good."

"Koguryo is also called Silla. In the past, Goguryeo was untamed by the Tang Dynasty and was conquered by the Sui and Tang Dynasties many times before destroying its country. However, Silla was treacherous and annexed Baekje first while the Tang Dynasty was busy fighting the war with Tubo. They also robbed the original homeland of Goguryeo. Damn Goguryeo was already destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Isn’t it the Tang Dynasty that they robbed?”

"I, the Great Song Dynasty, have inherited the mandate of the Tang Dynasty. I shall be the great Tang Dynasty and take back my homeland. Why, you are not willing to be the pioneer in this matter for me?"

"Ah...ah? Yes, I am willing. I am willing for a hundred, for a thousand, for ten thousand!"
