The forty-sixth chapter Shule town situation (9) Sima of the Nalen governor's office

"I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender"

Sun Xiurong just raised his dark black cloud bow, and the tribal chief who was unwilling to submit to Nangong Xiaoyue near Nangong Lake quickly dismounted and knelt down.

This is the 20th day that Sun Xiurong has entered the Naren Basin.

When Nan Gong Xiaoyue returned to her Aye Niang's legitimate tribe, she had some young and strong knights who were willing to follow her, but how easy was it for a woman's family to establish prestige in the tribe?

Fortunately, most of the tribes at this time adopted the Xianbei, Rouran, and the centurion system since the Turks. A centurion had roughly one hundred herders households, but he could have only twenty permanent troops at most. One hundred herders households could support twenty permanent troops, but it would be difficult to have more.

For example, the tribe next to Nangong Lake is relatively large, with more than 300 households and only fifty regular troops. This person is more ambitious. When all the former noble chiefs in the tribe were killed by Geshuliwei, they naturally prepared to intimidate Geshuliwei, but when Geshuliwei died, they were moved.

But ten days later, Sun Xiurong, a soldier from the Tang Dynasty, killed Ge Shuliwei with one shot, and shot three thousand commanders under Ge Shuliwei's command to death with ten arrows. The news spread quickly in the basin grassland, which was 300 miles long and 200 miles wide.

Seeing that Nan Gong Xiaoyue could not control the overall situation, Liu Yu had to ask Sun Xiurong to lead ten Kucha Mansion soldiers to help her pacify the internal affairs.

Like the scene just now, it has been staged in the basin for many days. The battle on the grassland seems complicated, because each herder occupies a thousand acres of pastures, and it is natural that they cannot fight each family. However, the big tent of "privileged" above the centurion will generally not change, because they also have to collect cattle and sheep from the dependent herders. How can the herders find you?

So, it was natural to find out the old lair of the chieftain and accidentally knock him out.

Fortunately, Sun Xiurong acted quickly. If it were later, when some ambitious deputy centurions in the tribe were contacted, not to mention anything else, even if five hundred cavalry gathered together, it would not be easy for Nan Gong Xiaoyue to deal with it. However, his reputation of "a shot with a small killing power, ten arrows shot Geshu" had already spread all over the grassland. When Sun Xiurong appeared with a black cloud bow, most of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Such things happened before in the famous Tang Dynasty general Xue Rengui, and now they appeared in Sun Xiurong. In the past, Xue Rengui was actually the ancestors of these tribes, and the matter was not long ago, so the saying "Xue Rengui's reincarnation" spread like wildfire.

Sun Xiurong was happy to accept this title. For a person with great ambitions, what else is more appropriate than having a famous general who is loyal to the Tang Dynasty?

After overthrowing the tribes near Nangong Lake, the overall situation of the entire Nangong Division was settled. On the northern foot of the middle section of Nangong Mountain, near Elbas City, Naren Province, Kyrgyzstan, the place where the Grand Chief of the Southern Gong Division was located. Although Liu Yu coveted the beauty of Nangong Xiaoyue, in the face of the overall situation and the temptation of "releasing the family ban", he still held back. After learning the news, Dugu Jun, the chief judge of the Protectorate Office who rushed from Kucha City, read out the order issued by Deputy Protector of Anxi and the governor of the Lixi Jieshi Gai Jiayun.

For tribes like the Southern Bow tribe, the Tang Dynasty would mostly adopt the policy of restraint, but for tribes like the Southern Bow tribe where most noble chiefs had died, the simple policy of restraint of the Governor's Office would not apply.

"Use Han people as Sima of the Governor's Office"

This is a common method used in the Tang Dynasty. It is mainly adopted by small and medium-sized tribes near the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the judges who have a low rank but very strong real power, whether it is the Protectorate, or the first-level unit of the Prefecture, Sima has a considerable rank. For example, the Chief of the Protectorate is from the third rank. You should know that in the Tang Dynasty, positions with the second rank or above are extremely noble, and few people can achieve it during their lifetime.

Of course, the Han Sima, a new setting of the new state of the guizhou, was not of high rank, and could barely reach the level of the sixth rank.

But Dugu Jun, who was thirty-five, brought the Jun Ling of the Great Protectorate, set up a prison state in the Naren Basin, including the former Geshu tribe and the Nangong tribe, and appointed Han people as Sima.

Such a ban on states is further divided into states directly under the Tang Dynasty, just like the Bohezhou, which was just established not long ago.

Compared with Liu Wei, who served as the judge of the Protectorate at a young age, Dugu Jun relied on his family background and qualifications. He brought the Jun Ling of the Jiedushi, and he made the final decision.

Compared with Liu Yu, Dugu Jun seemed calm and calm. If he had not had the experience of participating in the imperial examination, his family background would have long been Sima of the Great Protectorate.

This was the first time Sun Xiurong saw Dugu Jun. Unlike the mean Liu Wei, Dugu Jun at least had a bit of a loyal and loyal country. With his humility and dilution, he was deeply loved by the Protectorate.

But Sun Xiurong knew, "It is because of his deep family background that he does not climb up as quickly as Liu Yu, otherwise it would probably be the same."

Even though Dugu Jun diluted, he was still an existence that could not be looked up to in front of Liu Ju. When Dugu Jun said this, Liu Ju quickly agreed: "Everything is based on the opinions of the governor, Dugu Gong's opinion."

Dugu Jun nodded, "The problem is coming, who should be appointed as Sima?"

If it were in the past, if a Han Sima was airborne to the barbarian throne state, almost no one would be willing to do it, because in such a throne state, the Han Sima could not carry many soldiers except himself and two or three followers. In the tribe that was in a throne, there was a danger of losing his head at any time, especially in many throne states in northwest Sichuan.

But all this is not a problem at the moment, because the right candidate is about to come out.

In the past few days, in addition to Sun Xiurong, Ma Lin has also been very active and has made great contributions in assisting Nan Gong Xiaoyue in pacifying the sporadic battles of the Nan Gong tribe. After hearing Dugu Jun's words, his eyes became a little eager.

In the past few days, Liu Yu naturally saw the closeness between Sun Xiurong and Nan Gong Xiaoyue. Although this son had the greatest contribution to pacifying the Nan Gong, this made him a little untolerant. If Dugu Jun had not arrived, according to his nature, he would definitely have to launch other candidates. Ma Lin, who is no less brave than Sun Xiurong, was the best choice.

But Dugu Jun is obviously more inclined to Sun Xiurong, and Liu Yu finally chose the family matters and suppressed his urgent and jealousy.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Dugu Jun said, "The Jiedushi has learned about the situation here. Now the situation in Tuqishi is changing suddenly. It is time to stabilize the Southern Bow Division, so Sun Lang should be the one who is responsible for Sun Lang."

After hearing this, Sun Xiurong knelt down on one knee and said, "Abide by the orders of the Lord!"

Dugu Jun handed him a volume of documents and several tokens, "Sun Lang, if you were the Sima of the Naren Governor's Office, what actions will you do in the next few months?"

Sun Xiurong had already thought about this section. Some of his measures in the previous life have been proven to be effective, so he will naturally use them in this life.

"Qijian, the judge, is thinking this way. At present, whether it is the Nangong Division or the Geshu Division, the formerly more powerful leaders have almost swept away in recent times. However, although these people are dead, the power behind them is still there, and there are still many brothers and nephews, and it is not completely without any hidden dangers."

"Therefore, the Ministry of Justice recommends that first, teenagers aged fifteen to eighteen were transferred from the homes of the two herdsmen, who were many males in the two ministries to enter the Sima Mansion. Why choose these people? Because most of these people have not yet started a family and have not yet fully integrated into the daily life of the tribe, they have the possibility of sincerely accepting the kindness of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Ministry of Job Affairs initially recommends that one thousand households be transferred from the Nangong Department. If it is not enough, eight hundred households are also allowed, and five hundred households are transferred from the Geshu Department. If it is not enough, three hundred households are also allowed."

"The young man is not determined. The Ministry of Justice intends to let them read and write Chinese books. It's nothing else. They can have simple conversations and read two or three hundred words. All these families are moved to the vicinity of Naren. Naren is a joint part of the two, which can not only avoid the struggle between the two, but also prevent one from annexing the other."

"It is probably not enough to use more than a thousand herdsmen to support these young soldiers. Cough cough, such as military uniforms, and food, I'm afraid the Great Protectorate needs to provide some..."

"With these soldiers, a certain Geshu Guicheng can be appointed as the deputy governor. Geshu's army was originally not as many as the Nangong army. After the transfer of 500 households, their strength was greatly reduced. Even if they wanted to commit rebellion, they would not be able to catch them."

Sun Xiurong also said that he was a common practice of appointing Han people as Sima in the throne. However, under normal circumstances, because the Han Sima was not familiar with the local language and the people's feelings, the military power of the governor's office was actually in the hands of the governor, but the current situation was different. Sun Xiurong's reputation for deciding Naren's ten arrows had spread throughout the basin, so he naturally had to take real power in his own hands, not to mention that he understood the language of the Southern Bow people.

Dugu Jun nodded, "Okay, military uniforms are easy to talk about, but military equipment and food may only be provided with a portion of it."

Sun Xiurong said: "There are as many as you can. These herdsmen have horses and weapons, mainly food. The Protectorate provides some and raises some in the tribe."

In fact, the place where the Nangong tribe is located is an oasis, and farming is also possible, but this place is obviously not seen in Sun Xiurong's eyes, so it was not mentioned. Moreover, since it is still a banish state, even if the farming system is implemented, it may cause riots in the tribe.

A few days later, Liu Yu wanted to continue to lead the team to Bakhan's country, while Sun Xiurong stayed. On this day, Dugu Jun was about to leave. Before leaving, he called Sun Xiurong to his tent.

"Sun Lang, how do you understand the language of the Gongyue Department?"

"Judge, you should know that I am a descendant of the family of the Khitan criminals in Youzhou. I know some Khitan dialect. I found that the language here is somewhat similar to Khitan. After speaking it, I can barely communicate, so..."

By this time, Dugu Jun's expression had completely eased, and his eyes at Sun Xiurong were even more gentle, as if he was looking at his nephew.

Sun Xiurong was a little strange, "I just had some achievements in farming. My achievements in Hunu Town and here are also common among the generals of the Tang Dynasty. When Xue Rengui received the attention of Emperor Taizong, he was still an ordinary soldier. His starting point was much higher, at least a team leader. Although his current achievements were somewhat outstanding, the Southern Bow Division itself was not a tribe worthy of special attention to the Tang Dynasty. For them, the headquarters of the Bow Moon Division in the Yili River Basin is more worthy of attention."

"This person is from the Dugu family. He is probably not very fond of descendants of criminals like me..."

"Sun Lang", Dugu Jun's ruled expression became more serious again, "You are right. In the north of our country, the jurisdiction of the Anbei Prefecture, and east of the Uighur Khanate, there are a large number of Shiwei and Khitan tribes. They speak roughly the same language, among which Khitan, Xi, and Wu are almost the same in language and customs."

"In the early days of the previous dynasty, a tribe separated from the Khitan, Xi and Wu tribes and moved to the Hetao area. Later, it moved to the Beiting area. This is the Gongyue tribe. The language you speak is similar to theirs, and it is destined to be in the dark."
