If you want to have a lot of money, beautiful houses, and a group of wives and concubines, everything is based on having a high enough title.
In the Han Empire, nothing was more important than a title In fact, there are many ways to obtain a knighthood, planting the field better, innovating some tools or inventing useful new tools, and achieving excellent results in a certain field of officialdom and civil service are one of the ways to obtain a knighthood in many ways, but for the vast majority of people, there is no more convenient way than going to the battlefield.
For the vast majority of Han Chinese, farming is a necessary skill, but most people only know how to farm, and they don't know how to farm well.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer Han people buried in farming.
Han Chinese, who have few slaves in their families who have few slaves in their families to do the work of farming, are more willing to exercise more physical and martial arts, so that when they are called up, they can go to the battlefield to win the future.
The threshold for innovation or invention of new tools is not low, that is to be in that field for a long time to accumulate enough experience and knowledge, a hundred people can produce an innovation or invention tool, is considered a lot.
Officialdom civilian workers must first have that opportunity to join the officialdom, and they must have enough ability to do a good job in the field they are responsible for.
In fact, those who have the ability to become officials, if they can choose, they will not become magistrates, they are more willing to enter the military system, and they will also find ways to make themselves a member of the military.
After all, being able to govern a good place means that the ability is not bad, and you must think that you can get better results on the battlefield.
It is not absolutely safe to go to the battlefield, but you can still be choked to death even if you eat, what is really safe, you have to pay as much as you want, including risks.
"If I hadn't come to the Western Regions, I might have been a white man forever."
Wang Mian is now a master, and the title was earned after he arrived in the Western Regions: "Those people in my hometown who have been waiting for conscription, they regret it now." ” Since the eleventh year of Yuan Shuo, the Han Empire has not issued large-scale conscription orders, and even county soldiers are rarely mobilized to the battlefield.
The county soldiers are one of the compulsory conscriptions that adult men of the Han family must serve every year, and most of them serve in their own counties, carrying out some drills and training, and more often emphasizing discipline.
Although becoming a county soldier is to lay the foundation for becoming a member of the standing army, in fact, not many people can actually enter the standing army.
Ten years before Yuan Shuo, the county soldiers would still be collected and sent to a certain battlefield.
Ten years after Yuanshuo, there were fewer and fewer county soldiers who had the opportunity to be transferred to a certain battlefield, and even in the twelfth year of Yuanshuo, there was no record of county soldiers being transferred to the battlefield.
Once they can't go to the battlefield, the way out for the county soldiers will be cut off, and they will really become a simple conscription, and there is no hope.
In the early years, the Indochina Peninsula was opened, and the Western Regions were opened in the tenth year of Yuan Shuo, and those who had the courage and courage to fight all left their hometowns with packages on their backs, and the rest of the people thought that those people were stupid before, and only now did they know who was the real fool.
The people in the village did not come from the same place, the south and the north gathered together, there were people from Yanmen County in the north, some from Liaodong in the cold land, some from the southernmost Cangwu people, and more from the northwest.
If you are in the hinterland of the Central Plains, people from different places will form groups in different regions, and a small village will form an unknown number of factions.
For the Western Regions, where they may be in danger at all times, it doesn't matter where they come from in the country.
In the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, they all have a common symbol, that is, the Han people.
The talents of the Western Regions will not kill someone because they are from Liaodong, nor will they have different degrees of hostility just because they are from the northwest.
As long as you are a Han Chinese, you can enjoy more convenience or privileges than people in the Western Regions, but that is based on the premise of exploiting and oppressing the people of the Western Regions, so you can imagine what risks there will be while enjoying convenience and privileges.
In the village where the Han people settled in the Western Regions, in the early days, they had to face the surprise attack of horse thieves, even if the horse thieves were exterminated, but there were still many people from the Western Regions in the area, and they were not less attacked by hostile Western Regions people on weekdays, which caused a lot of follow-ups.
The search for criminals who attacked Han villages happened every day in this part of the Western Regions, and since the Han people were indeed difficult to provoke, and the people of the Western Regions could not afford to provoke them, most of the people in the Western Regions did not dare to conceal or hide at all.
If you really encounter a situation of harboring and concealing information, it is usually the end of a certain village being expelled, and the people of the Western Regions in the village either die or become slaves, becoming the outcome of that event.
The Han people were never soft-hearted, and they effectively deterred the people of the Western Regions, and they did not completely suppress the resistance and hostility, but they did reduce the number of people in the Western Regions who dared to attack the Han people.
As for those people from the Western Regions who still dared to trouble the Han Chinese, they gradually became the leaders or important figures of a certain Western Regions resistance organization depending on their fame, uniting a considerable number of Western Regions people who had a deep blood feud with the Han Chinese.
The policy of the people of the Western Regions to rebel against the center of the Han people has not changed for the time being, and if they do not resist, they will die later, and if they resist, they will die early.
Whether the central government of the empire will change its policy or not, for the executors, there is only the part of implementation, such as this time the Western Regions Protectorate once again recruited people from the people, which is an official letter from Chang'an, and the Ministry of War asked to sort out the Western Regions again.
The relationship between the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Han people of the Western Regions is very harmonious, one side is the existence of a protective umbrella, and the protected side also tries its best to give back.
They belong to an absolute minority in the Western Regions, and they are naturally a little different from the mainland.
"The people who came later, they came late."
Li Bing has already taken people to five villages, and the materials that should be sent out, and the people and goods that should be brought have also been brought: "In the earliest days, there were not many armor soldiers from various countries, but at least there were.
Now."
On the other hand, the more battles you can participate in, even if you don't have the luck to kill a rival armor to get the title of duke, you can also be promoted by accumulating participation in winning battles.
At present, the countries that should be destroyed in the Western Regions no longer exist, and the remaining ones do not have the courage and courage to disobey the Han Empire, and large-scale wars do not exist at all, even if they can be called medium-sized wars, and some are small-scale encirclement and suppression operations.
The group headed towards Yancheng, first meeting another team at Shache, and on the way new teams kept coming together, and soon the whole team numbered more than 5,000 people.
"To say that the princes of the DPRK and China are really worthy of being the great wise men who assist the true dragon."
Su Ren said with praise: "It is a good way to accept women of different races as wives and concubines. ” The acceptance of women from the Western Regions in this place in the Western Regions is not simply for the sake of beauty or the continuation of incense, but in fact, it is equivalent to making the people of the Western Regions behind the woman of the Western Regions a group that is naturally close to the Han people.
Among the 5,000 people, more than 3,500 were from the Western Regions, and their daughters or sisters were all married to Han Chinese, and their status became relatives of the Han family.
In the Western Regions, don't underestimate the identity of Han relatives, it can keep the Han people from burning, killing and looting, and can also get some preferential policies in terms of related taxes, and the most important thing is to be selected to go out with the army.
With the identity of the Han family's relatives, they will not be cowardly in the face of the rest of the Western Regions in any aspect, and if they are bullied, they can find the Han people to stand on the platform, and if the Han people are threatened, they will lead to the Western Regions Protectorate.
Now it's the same situation, maybe it's the same as a person from the Western Regions, but because there is a woman in his family who is married to a Han Chinese, he can sing two voices: we are different, we are not the same It cannot be said that the people of the Western Regions followed the Han army on the expedition, and it is correct to say that they followed the Han people on the expedition.

It is as an almost omnipotent role, blocking knives for the Han people when needed, serving the daily life of the Han people, and rushing up to fight with someone when he is ordered.
If you can become a naturalized person, it is a matter of green smoke from the ancestral tomb, which means that not only him, but even his descendants can proudly shout "I am Han", become a member of a strong empire, and at the same time be sheltered, but also become a wrist that can be powerful to other peoples Of course, it is not easy to become a naturalized citizen, two or three years have passed, and there are very few people from the Western Regions who have obtained naturalized status, but there are a few people from the Western Regions who have obtained the certificate of good citizenship.
The people of the Western Regions followed their Han relatives on the expedition, and the most practical advantage for them was to be able to obtain goods, either by plundering in the process of conquest of the same people from the Western Regions, or by receiving rewards from their relatives later.
In the Western Regions, where there is no national concept, even if the Han people show it so obviously, the people who perceive that their nation will die out are still in the minority.
For example, if they choose to marry their daughters to the Han Chinese, their concept is extremely simple, and if they marry their daughters, they can become a second-class privileged class, and they will no longer be harassed and plundered by the Han people, and the taxes to be paid will be appropriately reduced.
They see the most obvious benefits, and when they have the benefits, they are willing to be dogs and legs for the Han people, and as for what will happen in a few years or decades, they can't think that far.
Yancheng used to be the royal city of Qiuzi, and now it is the main station of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and another station that is valued by the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate is in Bailongdui.
Pu Changhai has been considered a place that must be controlled since the Han people came to the Western Regions, not only because Bailongdui is the transportation hub of the Western Regions, but also because that place is an important salt-producing area in the Western Regions.
The Western Han Dynasty also relied on the control of salt in the Western Regions, step by step to complete the suzerainty of the countries in the Western Regions, and it is a pity that there is not enough time to complete the "integration".
The Eastern Han Dynasty regained control of the Western Regions by borrowing from the Western Han Dynasty, and Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty also used the same means, but they did not really integrate the Western Regions.
The reason why this generation of the Han Empire would use drastic methods in the Western Regions was that they saw the limited results of the means used in the Western Regions from the Western Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, but they were inspired by some of the actions of the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family.
Zhang's Liangguo did not expand eastward, but adopted a westward expansion strategy.
Every time they conquered a place in the Western Regions, they either killed or drove or captured the people of the Western Regions as slaves, and they really effectively controlled that piece of land in their hands.
The Han Empire established by Liu Yan is nothing more than treating the Western Regions in accordance with the policy of Zhang's Liangguo, that is, the Han Empire has recovered the entire Western Regions at once, and it still needs to be divided into several steps, and it is not good to take too big a step at once.
The main residence of the Western Regions Protectorate will be located in Yancheng, which has a very important strategic position for the Western Regions Protectorate at this stage.
Yancheng is located in the south of the Tianshan Mountains in Beishan, east of the Green Mountains, and is a basin to the east of the Khotan River.
That basin was one of the few areas in the Western Regions suitable for farming, and in modern times it became a swampy area, but now the landscape is very good, and it has been developed by the Han people on a large scale.
"We'll assemble here."
Su Ren set up the garrison of Fang Yan's team and gave the necessary explanation: "You have also seen the people who have come, and you should understand that the scale of this operation will not be small.
Restrain the people you brought with you from the Western Regions, and don't make any mistakes. ” The Han people who were recruited had a very good sense of Su Ren, the military marquis of the Western Regions Protectorate, and at the same time knew that the next thing was to serve under Su Ren, so they naturally responded respectfully.
"Don't look at Su Junhou's name is Ren" Wang Mian looked left and right, and told the news from his hearsay: "He is a character who can stop children from crying on Yanqi's side." ” Everyone who came to the Western Regions knew about Yanqi, and they also had their own hearsay about what happened in Yanqi.
The resistance encountered by the Han people in the Western Regions was the most fierce on the Yanqi side, resulting in an almost devastating blow to the Yanqi people, and the treatment of the Yanqi people was almost infinitely close to the Qian, you can imagine what kind of scene of people rolling heads.
"It's strange" Fang Yan thought that he was not a person who had never seen a big scene, looking at the huge station, and combining what he had seen and heard: "It doesn't look like a simple encirclement and suppression, the Shule people can't afford such treatment, it's enough to deal with Shule, but" "The camp next to us has two divisions in it."
Wang Mian said mysteriously: "I guess there is a big movement. ” One division of the standing army is 5,000 men, and two divisions are 10,000 men.
Such a place in the Western Regions can allow the Han army to dispatch 10,000 people, plus the 20,000 or so Han warriors recruited, and the more than 80,000 Western Regions retinues, auxiliaries, etc., it will not just be to exterminate which guys.
"Will it be the Hunnites" Fang Shi suddenly became excited: "I heard that the Shujin people just ran away to the Hunnites, they must be dealing with the Hunnites."
Wang Mian was stunned for a moment, and then became excited.
What the Han people are afraid of today is that there is no place to obtain military merits, and if there are too few enemies, there will be fewer military merits, and everyone wants to be able to enter a certain big war:
