I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 32
For a moment, Fu Jinchuan wanted to ask himself, Aye, if he was still awake after drinking too much wine at noon.

"Hahaha, Saburo doesn't need to mind a few jokes. You and the prince have been companions since childhood. If there is peace and prosperity, just be a rich and idle person."

"If it's really what Aye said, it's messed up?"

Fu Mao corrected his complexion and said, "Keep the family safe."

Keep the house safe?
Fu Jinchuan is the accompanying student of His Highness the Crown Prince. He has also followed many famous Confucian scholars since he was a child, and has studied a subset of classics and history. Although he is a little blind to see the current government affairs, are the events in the history books still vivid?

The Fu family is an honorable general, and resting with the country is not just talking.

In the past, dynasties changed, such as the Fu family, most of them would die along with the old royal family with the change of dynasties.

On this point, those local big families and gentry families should be more calm. As long as they stand in line correctly, most of them can continue their family's prosperity.

To protect the peace of the family, the first thing to do is to protect the world of the Zhao family.

But in this world, has it really come to this point?

Fu Jinchuan felt a little irritated for a while. When he was in Beijing, he was the loyal Saburo, and he saw the extravagance and extravagance of the dignitaries, the fireworks in the streets and alleys of the square, and the low-pitched singing of Goulan cottages.

It's not that the people in Shangjing don't live without difficulties, but as long as they are willing to work hard, they can have a full meal, even miscellaneous chews, and occasionally they can go to Wazi to watch a show.

In Longshang, Hexi, there are frontier fortresses with bitter cold, disputes and killings, but there are also herds of cattle and sheep, singing and dancing, and there are endless streams of Hu merchants from east to west.

As for other places, although Guanzhong is not as rich as the previous dynasty, and although the population is withered, it still has the scenery of Xijing, and it still looks like a peaceful era.

So even though he knew that the court had to face all kinds of problems, Fu Jinchuan still felt that this peaceful life could go on.

Hearing what his father said today, he suddenly wanted to go for a walk around the world, to see whether the days were peaceful or not, and whether his heart was peaceful or not.

At the end of November, Ashina Yanqing, who had been released, suddenly sent a messenger to Liangzhou City.

After Fu Maoxiu had seen it, he immediately summoned all the senior civil and military officials in Liangzhou, including Liangzhou Governor, Bie Jia and others.

"Ashina Yanqing sent a letter, saying that he wants to lead ten Meng'an to join him."

As soon as Fu Maoxiu finished speaking, all the civil and military personnel were stunned.

The main reason is that Ashina Yanqing was originally sent back and asked him to raise cattle, sheep and property to redeem the tribe.

As a result, it is now going to be attached directly?What's happening here?
Cui Fangyi continued to add: "Ashina Yanqing's letter said that the royal family refused to send supplies to help them redeem the tribe, and if they collect all the things we want, many people will starve to death this winter, so he He wants to directly belong to Dajin, and asks us to find him a place to live in Hexi."

"The calculation is shrewd. Originally, he was asked to go back to get the ransom, but he ended up bringing the whole tribe here for us to support?"

Xu Mian, governor of Liangzhou, sneered.

Liangzhou Biejia Pei Shu said: "The government treasury has been full of food in the past few years. Ten of them are in Meng'an, which is tens of thousands of people at most. What's more, if they belong to them, they will definitely come with cattle, sheep and horses, and they need food relief. It won’t take much, but we must prevent them from using the name of attachment to commit crimes.”

The deputy envoy of Jiedu Zhang Renyuan said: "I don't see anything. The Golden Horde Khanate is having a hard time this winter. The lost army is defeated, the soldiers are lost, and there are a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. The life of the royal family directly under Meng'an is not easy. Let alone They are falconers."

It is definitely a good thing for Da Jin that the tribes of the Golden Horde led the crowd to join.

Between countries, the comparison of national strength is the population, food, soldiers, land and other resources.

Especially in Hexi, where Hu and Han live together, every year there are escapees from Qingtang and Jinzhang, but most of them are tribes, ranging from hundreds to thousands.

But such a large scale, tens of thousands of people in ten Meng'an, is very rare.

"I think it's a sincere attachment. The ten Meng'an men brought by Ashina Yanqing are all here with us. If they can't go back, they will be old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe. If they go back, they will use up their savings. It can’t pass, so there should be no problem.”

The speaker was Han Kuangsi, who had just returned from Ganzhou with his troops.

Several generals agreed with this opinion.

Seeing this, Fu Maoxiu immediately ordered Cui Fangyi to write back to Ashina Yanqing and allow him to join him.

At the same time, Xu Mian, the governor of Liangzhou, and Pei Shu, the governor of Liangzhou, were ordered to prepare for the resettlement of the subordinates. Food, resident, etc. needed civil officials such as the governor of Liangzhou and Biejia to be responsible for financing.

Xue Cong and Fu Jinchuan each led [-] cavalry troops and went north to the Golden Horde Khanate to join the subordinate tribes.

After all, with so many tribes fleeing south, the Golden Tent Royal Court will definitely stop them.Most of Ashina Yanqing's works are old, weak, women and children, and they will definitely not be able to compete with the royal family's Leopard Master.

Now that it has been decided to accept it, let's make things more beautiful, and show the other northern tribes the mind of Dajin.

"Yanqing, have you really made up your mind? Don't talk to Wang Ting any more? You have always had a good relationship with the prince of the lost family, and the prince of Shuhu, why don't you go and beg Anbanbo Jilie, Didn’t brother Liuzhi want Shushu to help us tide over the difficulties? We betrothed Shushu to Brother Liu, and asked him to beg Anbanbo Jilie.”

In the northern grassland, in Ashina's camp, an old man tirelessly told Ashina Yanqing his opinion that he could not vote for Jin.They are prairie eagles, and they are the "offspring" Ashina who have produced several Da Ke Dun.

"That's enough uncle, don't forget that Shi Liemen is your son-in-law. What did he say when you begged him? Now let me beg him? He can't protect himself, and you still want to be a khan Your husband?"

"We are eagles in the grassland, but now the eagles are about to starve to death! Our eagles and wolves have been allies and in-laws for generations, but what about them? Treat us like a second-class family and call us around. That's all , Now our tribe’s life and death, they actually stand idly by. What do such in-laws and allies want him to do? So needless to say, as long as Marshal Fu agrees, I will immediately lead the tribe south. If you don’t want to be with me, then stay here and continue doing it The wolf's dog. Wait for the leftover bones from him."

Ashina Yanqing finally couldn't bear it and exploded, everyone in the tent lowered their heads and remained silent.

Before, it was because his uncle, the daughter of Ashina Mogan, was the princess of the Lost Martial Sect, so the ten Meng'an of the Ashina tribe were automatically included in the camp of the second prince in the battle of the throne, and therefore they were with him. There is a gap between Anbanbo Jilie and Bishamon.

This time, due to the defeat in the war, some of the men in the tribe died in battle, and the rest were captured by the Jin State. Without these men, the Ashina tribe could only become fat in the mouths of other tribes.

But if you want to redeem some people, the cost required is enough to empty the tribe's family, so it will be difficult to pass the winter.

According to Ashina Yanqing's estimate, at least half of the people would starve to death.

So he made a bold decision to ask Da Jin to join him.

However, many people in the clan are still hoping that the lost martyrs can become Khan, and that the entire clan, as Kedun's natal family, can rise and get more cattle and sheep and better pastures.

I never thought about how I would spend this winter.

But Ashina Yanqing, as the patriarch, can't ignore these things. There are four or five thousand men in the south, and it's not bad to be a Jin man with the tribe. At least most people won't be in this winter, because they are hungry And died on the northern grasslands.

Leaving the big tent where the tribe discussed affairs, and returning to his own tent, his two sons Haidu and Zhimo, his wife Qiqimu, daughter Shushu and Wenya were all waiting for him to eat in the tent.

Even as the patriarch, the food on the low wooden table is still not rich.

A stack of baked Hubing, a pot of mutton soup with few pieces of meat, and a plate of wild vegetable roots, no wine.

This was his dinner as the patriarch of the Ashina tribe in the north, and the hereditary leader of thousands of households, which also showed the predicament of the Ashina tribe at this time.

The two sons waited for him to sit down, and began to gobble up the cakes with the mutton soup. The eldest was only 14 years old, and the youngest was only ten years old, and they were both growing up.

The two daughters are much more delicate when they eat. The eldest daughter, Shu Shu, will be 16 years old after the new year, and she can get married long ago in the grassland.

The eldest son of Anban Bojilie Bishamen, Liuzhige, was interested in Shushu, but this marriage was rejected by the old Khan Dongligun.

As for the reason, Yanqing is not clear.

Maybe it's because I don't want to see Ashina have both sides?

Taking a sip of the soup absently, Yanqing looked up at his eldest daughter Shu Shu, but he was thinking in his heart, regardless of whether he went south or not, marriage should be considered.

"Abba, is it now in the clan?"

Shu Shu finally couldn't hold back and asked.

The Ashina family has produced several Ketuns, of course it was not by chance.Both men and women are very handsome.

And Shushu of this generation is the most beautiful flower in the Ashina tribe.

Although the teenage girl's face is still a little green, her body has developed very well, and she is taller than ordinary Hu Han women of the same age.

Ashina Yanqing looked at her daughter's blue eyes like jewels, talked for a while, and then said: "We are going south."

"Didn't you just fight with the Jin people? Why do you want to fight again? There are not many men in our tribe, and they didn't come back last time when we went out."

Shu Shu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she couldn't hear her.

Asina Yanqing smiled: "This time there will be no war, we will go to Jin, and we will become Jin people in the future."

The faces of Shu Shu, Wen Ya and Qi Qimu were full of surprises, only the two boys concentrated on eating cakes and soup as if they hadn't heard.Then because there was meat in Zhimo's bowl but not in Haidu's, the two almost got into a fight.

"Then after being a member of the Jin Kingdom, won't there be any need to fight?"

Ashina Yanqing shook his head, "I don't know, to be a Jin countryman, you have to live like a Jin countryman, and wars should be inevitable."

"Where is it still the same?" Qiqimu said with a sigh.

Ashina Yanqing said: "But we don't have to freeze to death and starve to death. I have found out that in the whole of Hexi last winter, all the vassals combined died of freezing and starvation, only a few thousand people."

"What? Only a few thousand?"

This exclamation did not contain any sarcasm, but was inconceivable from the heart.

In the last winter alone, the Ashina tribe died of hundreds of people due to freezing and starvation, which is relatively small among the tribes in the northern border.

For a tribe of tens of thousands of people, thousands of people will not see the spring of the coming year in one winter.

So that "only a few thousand" is actually full of envy and awe.
