"Why do I want to go to the Western Regions" After thinking about it, Ren Hong looked to the west and said: "The subordinates heard that since the Marquis of Bowang was awarded the title of Marquis for opening the road to the Western Regions, the officials and soldiers in the border areas have been vying to write to Emperor Xiaowu, stating foreign treasures, strange things, and interests, and are willing to be messengers. ”"And Emperor Xiaowu thought that the Western Regions were far away, and not everyone wanted to go, so those who wrote to the book did not refuse, and they all joined the mission, and widely summoned capable people and criminals, regardless of their origins, gave charms, and sent envoys.""
So they sent envoys a year, more than ten batches, and five or six batches at a time, and those from the states east of the Green Mountains could return in a few years, and those who went to distant places such as resting and poisoned could return in eight or nine years."
From Zhang Qian's second envoy to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was the most open 20 years of the Han Dynasty, and it was also a turbulent 20 years.Through the exploration of waves of envoys, those legendary countries that only exist in the Book of Mountains and Seas passed on by Mu Tianzi have been discovered one by one, Central Asia, Persia, India, and even Rome on the coast of the West Sea, a vast world, with the footsteps of the Han envoys, are displayed in front of the Han people!
It turns out that the world is so spicy.It turns out that our Ming, in this universe, is not lonely!
This is a "great geographical discovery" belonging to the Han Dynasty, many species that are not native to the country have been introduced, and the west of Yumen has become a "new continent" to be explored!
Are the doors of exploration and discovery open for a short time and then closed?
Or let it be bigger, become a road, be a belt?
Ren Hong wants to go to the Western Regions for many reasons, including his love for that hot land in his previous life, regret for history, and helplessness trapped in this life!"
Fu Gong, I want to go to the Western Regions, of course, like many envoys of Emperor Xiaowu, because there, there are countless fame and wealth!"
Ren Hongdao: "Also because in the Western Regions, no one cares about a person's past, only values his ability and bravery!"
”"Among the officials under my command, there are many people who have the same intention as you."
Fu Jiezi looked at Ren Hong, as if he had seen through his purpose: "Anyway, which criminal official's son are you?"
”Ren Hong's life experience is clearly written on his hometown, and he can find it in Dunhuang District, let alone Fu Jiezi.Ren Hong knows that all the efforts he has made, success or failure, are in the next sentence!
He bowed his hand to Fu Jiezi: "Don't dare to hide Fu Gong, when I was Emperor Xiaowu, I was the grandson of Ren An, the envoy of the Northern Army." ”Fu Jiezi suddenly said: "It turns out that it is Ren Shaoqing" "Fu Gong knows the eldest father?"
”"Of course I do."
Fu Jiezi touched his beard, looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "When the witch Gu incident was in the past, I was also in the Northern Army!"
”Ren Hong also inquired about Fu Jiezi's resume, of course, he knew that he had served as an officer in the "Hu Cavalry Battalion" of the Northern Army as the central standing army, and the camps of the Eighth School of the Northern Army were all over the three auxiliaries and the eight Tun lieutenants, but the middle base, the shooting sound, the tiger Ben, and the Tun cavalry were in the city, and they were stationed at four gates, and the captain of the soldiers was in charge of the soldiers of Lin Yuanmen, the captain of the Yue Cavalry was in charge of the cavalry attached to the Yue people, and the captain of Changshui was in charge of the Hu Cavalry in Changshui Xuanqu.Unlike the other Seventh Captains, Captain Hu Qi was in Chiyang County, Zuo Fengyi, far away from Chang'an, so he was lucky to avoid the chaos of the witch curse, and he didn't even catch up with the bloody battle in Chang'an, and only contributed to the pursuit of Prince Wei's remnants.Fu Jiezi was only a two-hundred-stone cavalry at the time, and he had no direct relationship with Ren An, who was the guardian of the Northern Army.But this does not prevent Fu Jiezi from treating Ren An as a fool afterwards, "The drum sets up the military gate, and the envoy doctor is happy to fight to death, Ren An is indeed very competent during the period when he is the envoy of the Northern Protector Army, but" But when the choice came, Ren An was stupid.In Fu Jiezi's opinion, if Ren An is really loyal to Emperor Xiaowu, then don't go out of the camp to guard the prince Fu Jie.In the past, Zhou Yafu was stationed in the Xiliu camp, the Han Emperor came in person, and he didn't open the camp gate if he didn't see the Fu Festival, Prince Wei and Emperor Wei did not have the right to transfer troops.And if you choose Prince Wei, you shouldn't hold both ends and sit back and watch Prince Wei's defeat!
forced Prince Wei to rely on tens of thousands of people in the four cities of Chang'an to fight.Ren An's approach seems to be neutral, but in fact, it not only hated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also indirectly led to the defeat of Prince Wei, which was not pleasing to both ends.Isn't it normal for Ren An to be liquidated afterwards?
More than ten years ago, walking on the bloody streets of Chang'an, Fu Jiezi had palpitations, and he also asked himself, if it was him, how should he choose?"
Certainly the most profitable option!
Fu Jiezi is usually hidden, but he is actually an adventurous and gambling person.When it's time to make a decision, don't hesitate!
Therefore, after Fu Jiezi saw that the imperial court would reopen the Western Regions, he followed the example of the former final army and Zhang Qian, and took the initiative to ask for help, and his rhetoric moved the general Huo Guang and successfully won the position of the envoy.And after the Tianma accident and the mission failed, he immediately took the risk of killing the Hun envoy to make up for his mistakes.And now, another choice is in front of him, Ren Hong, will he abandon him, or will he be under his command?"
Ren An is very stupid, but his grandson Ren Hong is a brave man" Fu Jiezi looked at Ren Hong, he didn't care about his past, who was in the Western Regions, which family background was innocent?
Many years have passed since the witch Gu, and although Fu Jiezi had fought with Li Guangli to the west, he did not have any major relationship with the Second Master Department because of this.He doesn't belong to the Weihuo princelings, but a good family of the six counties who doesn't rely on heaven or earth, and can only rely on his own ability!
What's more, Fu Jiezi really likes this son, Ren Hong speaks and does things very much to his appetite, and his ability and knowledge far exceed that of his peers.Fu Jiezi is ambitious, and if he wants to do a career bigger than Bowanghou in the Western Regions, he needs all kinds of talents, warriors, translators, horsemen, and even outlaws.But there are not many people who can analyze the general trend and take charge alone, this Ren Hong or the materials that can be made are weighed left and right, and the benefits of this transaction far outweigh the risks!
So Fu Jiezi pondered for a long time and said: "Ren Hong, I had a similar idea about the roasted naan you offered, there is more wheat and less corn in the Western Regions, and the envoys and the army follow the customs of the countryside, and follow the customs of the Western Regions, following the example of the states of the Western Regions to use Hu Cake as dry food, which is a good method, this idea has been completed by you, and if it is approved by the imperial court, it will also be regarded as a merit." ”"However, even if that roasted naan is really as you say, it can be preserved for half a month and is more satisfying than millet, but if you want the court to accept this thing, and even roast it as a military ration in the northern part of the country, it will not happen overnight!"
The Han army has a mature military food system, and the increase or decrease of each item must be weighed by the imperial court, consider the cost, and then slowly promote it to the army.Ren Hong heard the meaning of Fu Jiezi's words: Even if the roasted naan you offer can be completed, the credit will be counted as a year and a half, and what you can count on at the moment is only me Fu Jiezi He immediately said with interest: "The reason why Hong offered the roasted naan is only because he didn't dare to hide it because he got good things, and at the same time I hope that the matter of starving and killing the Han soldiers during the second division's western expedition due to lack of dry food will not be repeated, and it is definitely not that I hope to be promoted to the knight with this thing!"
”"A man should be in serious danger, how can he let the soap be burdened with this life?
What Hong hopes most is to follow Fu Gong and use real military exploits in the Western Regions to wash away Ren's disloyal name!
”Fu Jiezi said with a smile: "Good, if it is really as you said, after I return to Chang'an, I can be rewarded by the imperial court and send an envoy to the Western Regions again, and your name should be in the list of missions."
But this time I will return to the dynasty and resume my life, and when I come back, it will be at least until the beginning of spring next year" Ren Hong understood again, and immediately said: "I can resign from the post of a small official in Hanging Springs and serve Fu Gong and privately!"
”Private servants are the doormen, the patents of big officials and heroes, Ren An started as Wei Qing's private servants.What Ren Hong thought about was that he, as a small official, couldn't get the talisman and left the Hanging Spring, but as a private servant, it would be different to follow Fu Jiezi, if he could sneak to Chang'an, maybe there would be other encounters, and the eggs didn't have to be all Fu Jiezi's "Be my private servant?"
”Fu Jiezi shook his head, leaned over and picked up two arms-length poplar wood, threw one to Ren Hong, pointed at him and smiled: "I just tested your talent, and now, it's time to try your hand-to-hand fighting skills!"
