"Don't hide it, when the Marquis of Xi'an hired me, I was taken aback, and I thought that the Marquis was going to build a tomb for himself and paint murals in the tomb!"
The painter hired by Ren Hong was called Mu Ziwu, and as soon as the army left Dunhuang City on the front foot, he took the locals to the cave site designated by the Marquis of Xi'an to investigate.This is the cliff of the eastern foot of Mingsha Mountain in the southeast of Dunhuang City, facing the Danquan in front of it, and facing the Sanwei Mountain of the branch of Qilian Mountain in the east, which is precisely the location of the Mogao Grottoes in later generations.The stonemasons discussed the feasibility of digging caves here, and Mu Ziwu's energy was focused on the drawings he had been ordered to paint for the Marquis of Xi'an.This is a horizontal scroll drawn on paper, composed of more than 100 figures, the front of the whole picture is a horizontal blowing queue, drummers and horn hands each lined up about four.Then there is the guard of honor, the cavalry guards the emperor to grant the power of the symbol of the festival and the axe car, and then the drum horn, the flag, the military cavalry, the battle horse, the door, the festival, the guard, etc., it seems that the flag is displayed, the drum music is noisy, these three parts should be placed on the east wall of the grotto after the excavation.In the center of the whole picture is a large group of people and horses with the hussar general as the core, General Ren wears white tiger striped bright light armor, wears a leather belt, does not wear a helmet in order to show his handsome appearance, wears a hood, rides a red horse radish, and the people and horses are all very large in size to stand out.Followed by a group of pro-guards carrying crossbow machines, ring knives on their waists, and wearing iron armor, their horses were draped in hanging gears, and they held the banner of the word "Ren".The inscription next to the painting reads "Great Sima Hussar General Xi'an Hou Ren Hongtong Army Expedition Westward Map".The west wall is to follow the Xi'an Hou expedition of all walks of life: Sanfu Jian'er, Sanhe pawn, the national horse, the six counties of the good family, and even the cavalry that joined all the way, or solemn, or lightly, and strive to depict the characteristics of each army, each with its own number, and several partial generals even drew their names.The far part of the picture does not use the yellow sand and Gobi of Dunhuang, but is dotted with landscapes and verdant trees, and patches of stone-green ground color, as if it are an empty field, so as to set off the red, ochre, white and other colors of the characters' mounts.And the most important thing is not to forget, when the grotto is dug up, there will also be a painting on the top, that is, the scene of five planets rising from the east and falling to the west.Although it was the first time to paint in the grottoes, Mu Ziwu was confident that when he was in the Central Plains, he had painted more complex paintings in the tombs of princes and princes, and he presided over the murals of the tomb of the great general Huo Guang!
At that time, he became acquainted with Xi'an Hou, who was the supervisor.And pigments and other things, in the East and West merchants gathered and Dunhuang is not difficult to get, and even the rare Dayue's lapis lazuli can be obtained, which is used to depict the rare sky blue.The only problem is that this is a big project, it can't be completed in a year and a half, and they have to live in Dunhuang for a long time.When Muzi released the scroll five times, the local craftsmen also found a place to open the cave, and everyone spit on their hands, held iron hoes, and dug heavily against the mountain rocks!
This is the first hoe of the first cave of Dunhuang Mogao.It was excavated in the spring and January of 60 BC in the fourth year of Tian'an of the Han Dynasty."
Since entering Liangzhou, if anyone is willing to join the army, the prince will not refuse to come, and let them bring their own horses and armor to join the army, and this batch of recruited horsemen is almost full of 3,000 people."
After leaving Dunhuang, as a partial general in charge of baggage, Feng Fengshi was a little worried, feeling that the original army was more than enough to fight Zhizhi and Kangju, and there was no need to recruit troops halfway, which would slow down the speed of the army's advance.Xi'an Hou has been fighting for more than ten years, why don't you understand the truth that the soldiers are not more than fine?
Ren Hong has his own plans, the 15,000 people he took away from Chang'an, as well as the 10,000 subordinate national cavalry and six county soldiers of Xin Qingji and Zhao Han'er, when they finish fighting Zhizhi and sweeping away the enemy in the river, almost all of them have to return to their hometowns with their military exploits, otherwise what are the people trying to join the army for thousands of miles?
Figure a few orchids?
Everyone misses their hometown, how can they stay in the west of the Green Ridge with all their hearts.Among several partial generals, it is estimated that Zhao Han'er is the only one who is willing to follow Ren Hong to the end, and it would be good if ordinary officials could stay and follow him.Therefore, Ren Hong wants to plan for the long term, the Liangzhou recruited soldiers on the road is one of the sources of soldiers in the future, Dunhuang, Jiuquan these places are bitter, in addition to eating the Silk Road to engage in business, the biggest rush is to grit his teeth and go to the west exit, fight a wealth.But it is far from enough, and when he arrives in the Western Regions, Ren Hong has a larger army source to try to pull up.And the young officers in the army, Ren Hong did not forget to beat them up from time to time, to see if he could deceive them more and follow him with all his heart, relying on the cult of personality, and voluntarily staying in the west of the Green Ridge in the future, and laying a new country together.At the end of January, the army arrived in Yangguan.It's a shame to say that this is the first time Ren Hong has come to Yangguan, in the past, he went out of the Yumen Gate, and this time the army he led could not take a line, so it was divided into three, let Feng Fengshi take thousands of people to the Jade Gate, and Ren Hong went to Yangguan, separated from Bailongdui, and went to Loulan to converge.Yangguan, lonely and desolate in later poems, seems to be a place with no one to rely on, but now it is very prosperous.Although the Hu merchants to the west of the Green Ridge were robbed by the Zhizhi, the 36 states under the protection of the Western Regions also often had caravans to trade, and the poplars and red willows pulled out new branches, and the smoke curled in the tun reclamation area, and the barking of dogs could be heard faintly.Even outside the Guan, it is a green grass in early spring, and the Shule River will rush to the west of Yumen Yangguan when it is watered, leaving a series of lakes, birds and beasts are frequent, and the barren and unmanned people in later generations are completely different.But there won't be too many such oases, beyond the Elm Spring, and soon there will be an endless sea of sand, strange rocky Yadan landforms, and a journey full of unknowns.After eating in the evening, Ren Hong was in a good mood, so he took Yiyang Marquis Fu Chang, Feng Yewang, Liu Anmin, Shi Dan and other young captains who came to fight to fight in the gilded Dengyang Pass, and a tun chief named Wang Feng was also ordered by Ren Hong.The hussar general likes to visit the barracks and talk with the soldiers, and after hearing that Wang Feng's sister is called Wang Zhengjun, he is very interested in this family, and he even transferred Wang Feng to his side as a personal guard.Although there are no more border police, when it comes to customs clearance and inspection, torches are still lit all night at Yangguan, so that the merchants of the mission who have traveled from the desert can find the light to move forward.And standing on the pass and looking out, I only felt that it was terrible black outside, the wind was whining, and there seemed to be a ghost Ren Hong pointed to the faint light in the north: "Look, a hundred miles away in the north, is the Yumen Pass, which should be the campfire of Dr.
Feng and others." ”"When I went out of the fortress for the first time, it was the Marquis of Yiyang Huan who led the team and went to Loulan to kill its king Angui."
Ren Hong saw that Fu Chang's appearance was somewhat similar to Fu Jiezi, and he couldn't help but think of the old man, and talked about the past with emotion."
At that time, Fu Gong told me that the whole Han Dynasty was like a big palace.""
Emperor Xiaowu divides the world into thirteen thorn history departments, among them, Si Liguan is like a forbidden one, as Jia Sheng said, practice Hua City, because the river is a pool, according to the city of 100 million zhang, the abyss of the unpredictable."
Today's Sili Guanzhong is more prosperous than in the past, and Ren Hong only hopes that this peace can last for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years.Ren Hong continued to say to the younger generations: "Fu Gong said that in the east, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou are prosperous, and the grain is Chenchen, which is the treasury of Taicang. ”Nowadays, the hinterland of the Central Plains is overcrowded, and although there is a promotion area field method that can feed more people, the peaceful world will breed more people.It is inevitable that the three states will slowly slide into the Malthusian trap, and the landlords will not solve any problems, and can only relieve the pressure through immigration and colonization."
Qingzhou Xuzhou is close to the sea, like a pond and marsh."
Now the Bohai Sea has become the Great Hannei Lake, east to the copper pillar to the edge of the Whale Sea, the Han envoy set foot on the island of Japan, visited the Yamatai country, and even the Andong Protectorate is also in the grass, intending to include this "Dongyi", Qingzhou is as crowded as the population, and it is far away from the south, only hoping to immigrate to Youzhou by sea and completely occupy the northern part of the Korean Peninsula."
To the north, Shuofang is secluded and has the benefits of Hu Yuan, and it is a stable for Pingle Supervisor."
After Zhao Han'er left, Su Wu's son Su Tongguo became the second protector of Anbei, and the stables and sheepfolds of the Han Dynasty had been rowed to the shores of Lake Baikal, and the next steppe may be postponed until two hundred years later."
To the south, Yizhou Jingyang multi-timber forest is like a forest garden."
The development of the south has begun, with the second son of the Son of Heaven as the king of Yuzhang to lead, the two kings of Dongou and Minyue have been set up, and other princes will also be moved to the south one after another.Calculating the time, the fleet invested by Ren Hong in Xuwen Port in Hepu County has also set sail for the west last autumn, and if it goes well, it has now passed Sri Lanka and found the west coast of India.Ren Hong's goal for them was to find the end point of Alexander's crusade: the Indus River to kill the water into the sea, and then prepare to return and determine this route, which was very important to Ren Hong.Compared with more than a decade ago, Dahan has indeed made a lot of differences.Ren Hong drew his sword, this is a relic of Fu Jiezi, I really hope he can see this day.The sword is pointed at the west in the night sky."
Fu Gong also said that Liangzhou in the west is a long road that enters the palace from outside the palace!""
And at the end of this Yongdao, there is Yumen and Yangguan across the border of the Han Dynasty, separated from the left and right, with its Que Ran as the road, and the two passes are for the Han Que!""
It's very similar."
Like Ren Hong back then, Fu Chang, Feng Yewang, Wang Feng and other juniors all bowed their heads, and Yumen Yangguan, for the entire Han Dynasty, was indeed like two Han Que, standing outside the palace, as a barrier to guard."
Fu Gong also said that in fact, such a que has existed in all generations, and it has been moving.""
In Zhou, Que was in Longguan, and when he got out of Longguan, he was Rongdi.""
In the Qin period, Que was in Lintao, and the Great Wall of Qin ended here, and when Lintao came out, it was the Yueshi Zhuqiang.""
Before Emperor Xiaowu's Tianhan Dynasty, when the Second Division made his first expedition to Dawan, Que was in Jiuquan Yumen County.""
Later, Dunhuang County was established, and Yumen Pass moved westward, and Yangguan was built, which became a corner with it!"
At that time, Fu Gong was drunk and asked you, will this que continue to move west?
Where does it go?
”"The people who traveled with him that day, Zheng Duhu thought that he should go to Luntai, and Xi Taishou thought that he should include the north and south roads of the Western Regions."
Fu Chang said with a smile: "Zheng Duhu and Xi Taishou probably didn't expect that now the Han family Xique is no longer just here, but has reached Chigu City and Broken Leaf City thousands of miles away, and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains have become Han soil!"
”Feng Yewang said: "However, the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shan Yu pushed to the White Tiger Bronze Pillar, this may be the will of heaven, it is destined that the Great Han Xique will not stop at the broken leaves, and will have to go west!"
”Wang Feng asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the general, where did you think Han Que should be that day?"
”Ren Hong smiled, and pointed out the country with his stomach: "I was not ashamed to say that this Han Que may be able to exceed the limit of the Green Mountains, including the broader Western Regions, Dawan, Kangju, Yueshi, and thousands of miles away!"
”The hussar general looked at the west, his expression proud, determined to win."
A man's promise is more important than a daughter, and the general's westward expedition today is to realize the grand wish he made back then!"
Back then, it was bragging.Today, he's a real cow!
Ren Hong's self-confidence is not without reason, after leaving Yangguan in the west, it is the world he is most familiar with, the thirty-six states, west of the Green Ridge, are all his old people.For example, in the distant city of Samarkand, the Han army had not yet set foot on the land of the Western Regions, and in recent years, it had been looted by the Zhizhi and ruined its business, and the Sogdians, who hated the Huns to the core, received a secret message from the Han Wei Sima and the official Zhong stationed in Chigu City Tuntian, and this person was also Ren Hong's most loyal subordinate.Along with the letter, it was a pine token with a flame pattern on it, and after seeing this thing, Shi Bodao, who was already the lord of Su Xue City, was excited, and regardless of decency, he bowed to this fire pattern token three times."
Holy Flame Order!
When Ren Gong left the Western Regions, he said a good code to the Sogdians, the Holy Fire Order!
”"Seeing the Holy Flame Order, such as the Marquis of Xi'an!"
Shi Bodao bowed three times to Ren Hong's bad taste, and after reading the letter, he immediately gave orders to the Sogdian merchants who had been guest spies for a long time."
Go to Dawan!"
