Chapter 324
Zhang Mingshan is now an old man talking about juvenile madness, and the whole person bursts out with exuberant energy that he should not have at his age, whether mentally or physically!
If he knew that someone in the West had said that power is the best aphrodisiac for men, he would definitely be a confidant!
After the merger of ghosts and inks, the western veins of the Mo family finally found the most suitable soil for their survival, that is, a foreign country!
For them to exercise any intrigue and intrigue here, to direct national turmoil, there is no psychological burden or moral guilt for them!
After offering the five policies of Dingguo, all of Zhang Mingshan's policy suggestions were accepted by Hu Yanshan without reservation, and according to his guidance, they began to be implemented step by step!
The first is text.
After less than two months, the Mo people responsible for communicating the western veins of the Longxi Mo family returned one after another, and brought back a large number of materials and personnel, but the explanation they gave to the outside world was that these materials, except for a small part of the trade income, the rest were the warriors of the Gohana tribe, and the gains from robbing the caravan on the way back, including those Han who followed back, were all trophies!
There were about 500 inkers who followed this time, skilled craftsmen in various fields, and a small number of scholars who studied the theory of square techniques, and their arrival further enriched the power of the Gohana tribe, and at the same time accelerated the progress of compiling writing for the Xiongnu Empire!
After the joint research of many Mojia scholars, they decided to create a simple and easy-to-learn writing system for the Xiongnu based on the vowel, consonant and tone of Chinese, based on the almost blank civilization system of nomadic tribes and the language environment without inheritance, that is, referring to the four phonetic methods of Chinese, taking the reverse cut method as the foundation, supplementing the other three phonetic methods, creating about 20 simple symbols to represent pronunciation, supplemented by phonetic transcription to determine the harmonic rhythm.
In order to explain simply, Mojia scholars called these words called anti-cut pinyin characters, and these symbols are called letters, and the letters are combined according to the different pronunciations, and then supplemented by tones to form a word to express meaning, and the words then form sentences to record and express coherent information!
Because the combination of letters is limited, and it cannot be too long and not easy to remember, the ink artists have also created word formation methods such as root method, deduction method, and inversion method, so as to derive enough words to meet the needs of everyday language!
Compared with Chinese characters, these pinyin characters are extremely simple, and the advantages and disadvantages are extremely obvious:
the advantage is that it is simple and easy to learn, only need to remember more than 20 letters and phonetic transcription, and then master the pronunciation rules and word formation methods of letter combinations, you can read sentences, and writing is also very simple, how difficult can more than 20 letters be?
Moreover, this pinyin script has a greater advantage, that is, it can assist the learning of Chinese characters, and can help the Xiongnu elite to master the pronunciation of Chinese characters with a simple anti-cut method of phonetic transcription, so that learning Chinese characters is no longer so difficult!
But the shortcomings are also very obvious:
first of all, these texts are extremely crude, neither formal nor expressive, but only phonetic transcription of the spoken language, which can even be said to refer to the music scores of the Le Nu, just to record the sound and intonation.
Secondly, because it is an alphabetic script, the upper and lower writing is not coherent enough, and it needs to be changed to row by row, which is very different from the habit of Chinese characters.
Third, this kind of text information carrying level and ideogram ability are too weak to reach the level of Chinese characters, because pinyin text records the intonation, then the sentence should be said as straightforward and cumbersome as possible, not as concise as Chinese characters.
For example: Zi Yu, there are friends from afar, not happy? In
the language of the Xiongnu, it is not so concise and elegant, but becomes:
"How can like-minded friends visit from afar without a grand musical welcome?"
Chinese characters only need a cross to explain the meaning of the white, and the use of pinyin characters is a long string.
However, the flaws are not hidden, this is already very good, it is very suitable for zero-based Huns!
At the same time, in order to enlighten Mengtong and illiteracy, the Moists also translated the ancient myths and legends of the Han family and the stories of the medieval sages into the Xiongnu language, but in order to maintain the orthodox status of the Han family, the myths and legends made up for them are not as orderly and thoughtful as the Han family, but in a fragmented form, divided into mutually incoherent stories, so that the Xiongnu knowledgeable people will have doubts, rise the desire to trace the origin, and then go to China to find the foundation of culture!
For example, the legend of Dayu governing water, they only told the Xiongnu that in ancient times, the grassland was also full of trees and forests, but because of the barbarism and rudeness of the Xiongnu, disrespecting the ancestors and not abiding by the rules of etiquette, they angered the heavens and sent down the flood to destroy it, but not all the Xiongnu were bad, and some of them were good people, and they got a warning from heaven, so they launched manpower in advance, cut wood to make boats, so that their tribal population and horses, cattle and sheep escaped the flood, waiting for the birth of the southern saint, the flood waters faded and they survived. Therefore, the grasslands after the catastrophe, there are no more forests and trees, and they are not suitable for reclamation, only the cattle, sheep and horses they carry to live on, all because their ancestors were sinners, although they escaped death, they still had to bear the pain of nomadism and so on
.... Li Guanghong looked at the stories made up by the senior brothers, and his heart was cold, these people are so bad, so bad, they directly let the Xiongnu be born as sinners, if such a myth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is praised by the Xiongnu for generations, then they dare not pursue the way of heaven, and even fall into the darkness of blind faith because of original sin, denying the origin of Xiongnu civilization from the root and inhibiting the possibility of their progress!
Ghost Valley is really the best at playing with people's hearts, such a scheming, old traitor, insidious and vicious scheme, that is easy to
do... Thus, the Xiongnu script was born!
In this way, the Xiongnu script, together with the myths and legends made up by those ink masters as literacy books, quickly began to spread in the Xiongnu Empire with the strong support of Hu Yan Shan Yu, Wei Lu and Li Ling...
More than half a year later, Li Ling personally led his tribe to return to the Hanhai King Court from Beihai, and at the annual Dragon City Alliance, he publicly bowed under the throne of Shan Yu and expressed his allegiance in gorgeous language, which made Shan Yu very satisfied at the same time, but also caused a lot of shock and impact to the Xiongnu nobles such as the Left and Right Sage King, the Right Valley Li King, and the Day by Day King who had different intentions!
Not only that, but at this meeting, Hu Yan Shan Yu also announced a truce with the Han Empire and a policy of asking for peace, strictly ordering all tribes to restrain their soldiers and horses, and not to go to the Han land to attack and plunder!
Originally, Hu Yan Shan Yu also occupied a great righteousness, really from the perspective of strength comparison, his little power, did not enter the eyes of these Xiongnu real power figures, but now the situation is different, the God of War Li Ling, openly stood on Shan Yu's side, which made these aristocrats with different aspirations feel a bit of crisis!
At the same time, the entire Gohana tribe, under the strong support of nearly four hundred Moxican as the core, is operating efficiently, and various military means are constantly being improved, and in less than a year, this small tribe of only 10,000 people will gradually stretch its claws and croak out its fangs, splitting the Xiongnu aristocracy that was originally barely united....
What Zhang Mingshan had to do was to take advantage of the contradictions between the upper aristocrats of the Xiongnu, follow the story of the five hegemons of Spring and Autumn, honor the princes with threats, help the weak lords, hoe the strong and help the weak, and create a Spring and Autumn Warring States era that belongs to the Xiongnu, so that its internal chaos and unification!
In the fifth year of the first century, that is, in 82 BC, the Han Empire responded to the Xiongnu's peace proposal and sent envoys to the Xiongnu, on the one hand, to explore the reality of the Xiongnu and observe whether the peace proposal was a measure to delay the army or sincerely, on the other hand, because the great general Huo Guang and the left general Shangguan Huo Fuzheng, they have always been friendly with Li Ling, and they are very sympathetic to his tragic experience, so they let Ren Lizheng, who was also a Longxi man and Li Ling's former friend, as the main envoy, wanting to take the opportunity to contact Li Ling and recruit him to return to Han...
Huo Guang , character Meng, Pingyang County, Hedong County, was the half-brother of the champion Hou Huo Qubing, relying on the general Huo Qubao as an official, after Huo Qubing's death, Huo Guang was promoted to the positions of Fengche Du Lieutenant and Guanglu Daifu, serving Emperor Wudi of Han, and was forbidden to enter and leave the palace for more than 20 years, without making a single mistake, and won the trust of Emperor Wudi of Han, so that he assisted the young emperor.
Huo Guang entered the palace, and after his brother's death, he kept a low profile and cautious, lest he "die of illness" like his brother, which was quite Li Lingzhao, so he had a deep personal relationship. Li Ling was more than ten years older than Huo Guang, and Huo Guang respected him like a brother, and now that Emperor Wudi of Han had gone, he wanted to take Li Ling back to enjoy the blessing.
After the Han envoy came to the Xiongnu, Ju Yan was treated with wine, and Li Ling and Wei Lu were present.
When Ren Lizheng saw Li Ling, he was very happy, repeatedly squeezed his eyebrows in the banquet, and removed the ring on the saber several times, holding Li Ling's foot while picking up the ring, suggesting that he "go" and "return".
When Chu Yan saw it, he felt funny in his heart!
He has long received Li Ling's oath of allegiance, and during this period of time, with the help of him and Wei Lu, he has implemented the five strategies of Dingguo, and he has long been convinced of Li Ling, and now seeing that the Han envoy is still guarding his heart eye, it is really funny and embarrassing!
In the end, he simply came out of sight and out of mind, so he handed over the task of entertaining the Han envoy to Li Ling and Wei Lu.
After that, Li Ling and Wei Lu prepared a wine banquet to entertain the Han envoy, and when Ren Lizheng saw that there were no outsiders, he said loudly: "Han has granted amnesty, China is happy, the Lord is rich in Spring and Autumn, and Huo Zimeng and Shangguan Young Uncle are doing things." "I want to say that now that the principals are their own brothers, why don't you hurry back to enjoy the blessings? As a result, Li Ling did not answer, but touched his bald head and said, "I have already served it!" Wei Lu saw that Ren Lizhengguang beckoned Li Ling to go back, did not mention himself at all, depressed and embarrassed, so he went to the toilet and slipped away, leaving them a private space.
Ren Lizheng saw that there were no outsiders, so he opened up and chatted, so he said: "Shaoqing is good!" Huo Zimeng, Shangguan Young Uncle Xie Ru", "Please Shaoqing to return to his hometown, don't worry about wealth", which means that Huo Guang and Shangguan still remember your good, and went back to glory and wealth and did not run!
Li Ling is now following Zhang Mingshan, and is planning to make trouble and trouble in the Xiongnu, and heard that the Han Empire has changed the sky, and his brother has taken power, a little moved, casually perfunctory: "Return to Yi'er, fear of humiliation, helpless!" Wei
Lu actually didn't go far, just outside to guard the two, carrying his feet to the root of the wall. He had already been persuaded by Li Ling, and also joined Zhang Mingshan's plan, intending to make meritorious contributions to the Han family behind enemy lines in a foreign land and open up territory, but when he heard it, Li Ling, the old boy, was moved, and wanted to slip away by himself, so he quickly pushed the door and entered, saying: "Li Shaoqing is a sage, and he does not live alone in a country." Fan Li traveled all over the world, from Yu to Rong Ren Qin, now He Yu is also a relative! "Hint at Li Ling, don't forget what Zhang Mingshan said, there are many ways to make meritorious achievements, don't be a Hanchen, you can establish unearthly merits for the Han family in foreign countries, and then turn around and leave....
Li Ling did not agree to go back with Ren Lizheng in the end, but secretly told him the news that Su Wu was still alive, which shocked Ren Lizheng!
When Su Wu entered the Xiongnu as an envoy, his subordinates participated in political turmoil and were detained, and later the Xiongnu told the Han Empire that Su Wu was dead, and the Han Empire did not entangle too much because of its grievances, but now it hears the news that Su Wu is still alive, how can you not be shocked?
In the end, Li Ling asked Chang Hui, who was detained in the Xiongnu like Su Wu, to the residence of the Han envoy to discuss the matter of recovering Su Wu, and explained that Shan Yu would definitely not prevent Su Wu from returning to China, but he would give the Xiongnu nobles an excuse...
A few days later, when Shan Yu summoned Ren Lizheng again, he asked
Shan Yu: "The Son of Heaven shot into the forest, got the geese, enough to tie the book, Yanwu and so on in a certain ze..."
So, Shan Yu Shunshui Tui Zhou agreed to the request to release the Han envoy, and used this story to educate the Xiongnu nobles that the heavens and the living beings understood the right and wrong things, would help the right people, and punish those who made mistakes, you see, the Hongyan Chuanshu is a living example....
In the spring of the sixth year (81 BC), Su Wu finally returned to Chang'an after 19 years of hard exile, and the entire people of Chang'an, hearing his story, all admired and admired, and went to the city gate to welcome Su Wu back to China!
Su Wu was then very favored as a symbol of loyalty, and even if his son was involved in a major rebellion case, he did not shake his status in the slightest, and lived until the end of Fang's life in the second year of Shenjue (60 BC), and died without illness at the age of eighty-eight!
Later generations of literary works, stories and legends, poetry and songs, opera and drama about Su Wu are as many as a carp crossing the river, countless of them, Su Wu shepherds, swallowing felt and snow, Sihan Huaixiang, Hongyan Chuanshu, etc., have become the allusions and symbols of the unyielding loyal courtiers in later generations, and will be loyal to the motherland, advocate integrity, be mighty, unyielding, rich and unswerving, and the unswerving personality spirit of poverty and destitution, deeply rooted in the cultural tradition of the Chinese nation, enduring and timeless!
The release of Suwu made temporary peace between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu, and although some tribes in the south of the Xiongnu Empire still went south from time to time to plunder the Han land, the large-scale invasion of the Han land planned by Shan Yu and the upper royal families of the Xiongnu did not occur again.
The reason for this is because the Xiongnu nobles, especially the Xiongnu royal family, are fighting fiercely and preparing to start a brutal struggle between you and me!
The civil war of the Xiongnu Empire is already on the verge of breaking out!
With the gradual implementation of Zhang Mingshan's five policies for determining the country, the contradictions between the Xiongnu nobles began to surface and intensify, and the young generation of nobles who learned the Xiongnu script have shown a tendency to deny the old customs of the Xiongnu tribe, comprehensively learn the rules of the Han family, and issued the voice of abolishing the tribal inheritance system, abolishing the division and sealing system, realizing the county system like the Han Empire, and selecting meritocracy and consolidating royal power!
These deviant propositions have naturally received the tacit approval and strong support of Zhu Yan Shan Yu, but for the old nobles and the old royal family, this is to gouge their roots!
Now it's almost the fuse!
In the first year of Yuan Feng (80 BC), the Xiongnu king Outu ignored the strict orders of Ju Yan and divided into left and right parts, with a total of 20,000 cavalry invading Hanbian. The Han sent troops to counterattack, killing and capturing 9,000 Xiongnu, and King Outu was captured by the Han army, and even the border city was occupied by the Han Empire.
There is a reason why this battle fought so badly against King Ou Tuo!
The Mo people led by Zhang Mingshan spent two years, not only by attacking the small tribes in the northwest that did not obey the orders of Shan Yu, expanding their headquarters to nearly 60,000 people and nearly 8,000 soldiers and horses, but also taking advantage of the opportunity to teach the Xiongnu script to develop the intelligence network!
Zuo Xianwang's military tent has long been infiltrated into a sieve, and what is the situation, Zhang Mingshan knows at the first time!
This King Outu is a general who guards the border under King Zuo Xian, and has never been ordered by the royal court alone, and this time the buckle was also planned by King Zuo Xian, on the one hand, to destroy the peace between Han and Hungarian, trigger a big war, let the Xiongnu see that the Han people are not so powerful, and at the same time let Shan Yu's prestige be lost; On the other hand, it is also to loot some iron armaments, further strengthen the strength of Zuo Xian King, and prepare for the next civil war!
Since Zhang Mingshan knew about this in advance, it was bound to not allow Zuo Xian King to succeed, so he quickly sent someone to notify Shan Yu and offered a strategy, that is, to send someone to inform the Han army and use a knife to kill people, which was adopted by Shan Yu!
So, King Outu became a dumpling and was wrapped in porcelain!
King Outuo's elite army, whether left or right, when it arrived at the border of the Han Empire, it faced the iron horses of the Han army that were fully equipped and waiting for them, and they also made a lot of trap mechanisms waiting for them....
The 20,000 people of King Outuo were beaten up miserably, and the Han army killed nearly 10,000 of them without almost any losses, not to mention, even King Outuo himself was also arrested!
Afterwards, the Han Empire sent an envoy to ask Shan Yu about it, and Ju Yan Shan Yu took advantage of the problem to ask Xingshi to ask for guilt, asking Zuo Xian Wang to explain and take responsibility!
How can Zuo Xian Wang explain?
He could only resist with his neck twisted, claiming that it was a Xiongnu tradition to go to the Han land to plunder, and he was right!
Therefore, under the order of Hu Yan Shan Yu, Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses of Gohana's headquarters, Li Ling led 20,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and Wei Lu led 20,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters alone, forming a large army, claiming to be 100,000, and launched a special military operation against Zuo Xianwang!
Thus began the Hun Civil War!
This civil war was a catastrophe for the Hun Empire!
At the beginning of the civil war, it was the Han generals of Li, Wei and Zhang under Shan Yu who fought against King Zuo Xian!
Due to the superiority of troops, Zuo Xian King could not withstand it as soon as he came up, and he suffered three defeats in succession, losing nearly 10,000 troops, and the strongest Ri Zhu King was the first to sit still and began to participate in the battle, and then it was King Yougu Li!
The civil war lasted intermittently for 5 years, and the two sides mobilized 300,000 people to participate in the war, the Zuoxian King and the Right Valley Liwang tribe lost more than half, the servant tribes suffered even more heavy losses, almost half of the tribes became history, and some were forced to flee far away to the northwest to become wild people.
As for King Zuoxian and King Li of Yougu, they were also beaten to the southwestern frontier of the Xiongnu Empire near Wusun and Guizi, relying on the dangers of the Tianshan Mountains to survive, and the weakest of the original three was driven to the border near Zhangye and Wuwei, settled in one corner, as a result, the Xiongnu Empire was completely divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the degree of mutual hostility was more than that of the Han army!
Just when the Shan Yu army commanded by Li, Wei and Zhang already had an absolute advantage and was about to win the civil war, these three stopped fighting and collected their troops and returned to the north!
The excuses given by the three are varied and varied!
Li Ling and Wei Lu were responsible for dealing with King Zuo Xian and King Li of Right Valley, they said that because the population of the grassland had plummeted, there were not enough cattle and sheep, the sergeant could not fight after eating the last meal but not the next, and the reason given by Zhang Mingshan and Li Guanghong, who were responsible for dealing with the king of the Japanese chase, was that they could not approach the border of the Han Empire, so as not to trigger a conflict between the two countries!
Hu Yan Shan received instructions from both directions to collect troops, and he was angry, but there was no way, now Li, Wei, and Zhang have passed through the five-year civil war, their power has swelled to a great extent, and it is already a bit of a tail that cannot be lost, he can only take his life, and appease him, and slowly find a way to solve them....
In this way, Li, Wei, and Zhang joined forces, actually obtained the leadership of the Xiongnu Empire, and more brazenly promoted their Sinicization ideas!
Just when their career was on a smooth road and thriving, Zhang Mingshan couldn't afford to be seriously ill and died soon....
The year before Zhang Mingshan became seriously ill, he organized a re-election of the Mojia West Vein, and Li Guanghong was elected as the next generation of the Moxi Pulse without suspense with his support, becoming the actual helmsman of the Moxi Line...
In front of Zhang Mingshan's bedside, kneeling in a piece of black pressure, among which there are both Han and Hu people, and at the same time, there are many faces of Xiongnu, and the western vein of the Mo has now swelled to more than a thousand, and a small half of them are newly developed Xiongnu local young Junjie!
Li Guanghong knelt on the side of the teacher's bed with a choked voice, Li Ling, Wei Lu, and Li Shi also stood beside him, looking at Zhang Mingshan, who were also teachers and friends, but also fellow comrades-in-arms, and Mr. Hongyuan's funeral day, in their hearts, Zhang Mingshan is the uncrowned king, worthy of the word "funeral heaven"!
Zhang Mingshan intermittently explained his fate to Li Guanghong, saying:
"After the death of the master, let's be buried according to the rules of the Mo Master... Let's be buried on the shore of the North Sea..."
"Two sons and a daughter bred by Shi's two concubines... It's entrusted to you... Find a way to send them back to their homeland in the future... Let them be a safe and stable Han..."
Li Guanghong choked and agreed, and after a while, seeing that his mentor had nothing to explain, he asked:
"Master, the Xiongnu have become a chaotic world, their decay has appeared, and the future is no longer an opponent of my Han Empire, so what should we do next?" Return to Han Land?
Zhang Mingshan used his last strength, tightly grasped Li Guanghong's hand, and shouted in a low voice:
"No!"
"You're going west... To the west... Constantly to the west... to all the lands you see... All to Wang Hua ..."
