"Why do I want to go to the Western Regions..."
After thinking about it, Ren Hong looked to the west and said, "I heard that since the Marquis of Bowang was granted the title of Marquis because of the road to the Western Regions, the officials and soldiers of the border areas competed to write to Emperor Xiaowu, describing the treasures of the foreign countries, strange things, and interests, and are willing to be an envoy."
"And Emperor Xiaowu believed that the Western Regions were far away and not everyone was willing to go. Therefore, he would refuse anyone who wrote a letter to him and would be included in the mission. He also summoned talented people and strangers, criminals and criminals, regardless of their origin, and gave them talismans and sent out envoys."
"So, more than ten batches were sent in a year, and five or six batches were sent in a few days. Those from all over the country east of the Pamir Mountains could return in a few years. To go to a distant place like resting, the envoy who had poisoned the body would take eight or nine years to return."
From the second time that Zhang Qian was sent to Emperor Wu of Han to the resolution of Luntai, it was the 20 years of the most openness of the Han Dynasty and the 20 years of turbulence.
Through the exploration of waves of envoys, the legendary countries that only exist in "The Legend of Emperor Mu" and "Shan Hai Jing" were discovered one by one. Central Asia, Persia, India, and even Rome on the coast of the West Sea, a vast world was presented to the Han people with the footsteps of the Han people!
It turns out that the world is so big.
It turns out that our civilization is not lonely in this world!
This is a "global discovery" belonging to the Han Dynasty. Many species that were not locally introduced. To the west of Yumen, it has become a "new continent" to be explored!
Should the door to exploration and discovery be closed after a brief opening? Or will it become a big, a road, and a belt?
Ren Hong wanted to go to the Western Regions for many reasons, including his love for that hot land in his previous life, his regret for history, and his helplessness in this life!
"Mr. Fu, I want to go to the Western Regions, of course, like many envoys during Emperor Xiaowu's time, because there are countless fame and wealth there!"
Ren Hongdao: "It is because in the Western Regions, no one cares about a person's past, only his ability and courage!"
"There are quite a few of my servants who plan to be the same as you."
Fu Jiezi looked at Ren Hong and seemed to have seen through his purpose:
"After saying that, what kind of criminal official are you?"
Ren Hong's life experience is clearly written on his hometown, and he can be found in Dunhuang's sub-mail supervision, not to mention Fu Jiezi.
Ren Hong knew that all his efforts, success or failure, were all in the next sentence!
He bowed to Fu Jiezi: "I dare not hide it from Fu Gong. I am the grandson of Ren An, the envoy of the Northern Army, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu."
Fu Jiezi suddenly realized: "So it's Ren Shaoqing..."
"Mr. Fu knows his father?"
"Of course I know."
Fu Jiezi touched his beard, looked into the distance and said with a smile: "I was also in the Northern Army during the witchcraft incident!"
...
Ren Hong also inquired about Fu Jiezi's resume, and of course he knew that he had served as an official in the "Hu Qi Camp" of the Northern Army...
As the Central Standing Army, the camps of the eight Northern Army schools were spread all over the Sanfu. Among the eight gate lieutenants, there were only Zhonglei, Shooting, Huben, and the trunk cavalry in the city and were stationed in four gates. The troop lieutenants were in charge of the Linyuan Gate, the Yue cavalry lieutenants were in charge of the cavalry attached to the Yue people, and the Changshui lieutenants were in charge of the Hu cavalry in Changshui Xuanqu.
Unlike the other seven lieutenants, the Hu Qi Captain was in Chiyang County, Zuofengyi, far away from Chang'an, so he was lucky enough to avoid the chaos of witchcraft. He even failed to catch up with the bloody battle in Chang'an, and only worked hard to pursue the remnants of the Prince of Wei.
Fu Jiezi was only a two hundred stone cavalryman at that time, and had no direct connection with Ren An who was guarding the Northern Army.
But this did not prevent Fu Jiezi from treating Ren An as a fool afterwards...
"The army gate was established with a drum and the scholars and officials were happy to fight. Ren An was indeed very competent during his tenure as an envoy to protect the Northern Army, but..."
But when the decision came, Ren An became stupid.
In Fu Jiezi's opinion, if Ren An is really loyal to Emperor Xiaowu, then he should not go out to the camp to receive the Prince of Wei Fujie. In the past, Zhou Yafu was stationed in Xiliu Camp, and Emperor Wen of Han personally arrived. He did not open the camp without seeing Fujie. Prince Wei and Empress Wei had no right to mobilize troops. Ren An was the servant of Wei Qing, and he had an inseparable relationship with Wei Huo. Then he went out to the camp to receive the Prince of Wei Fujie. What does it mean?
If you choose Prince Wei, you should not hold on both sides and watch the defeat of Prince Wei! You can only rely on tens of thousands of people from the four cities of Chang'an to fight.
Ren An's approach seemed neutral, but in fact it not only hated Emperor Wu of Han, but also indirectly led to the defeat of Prince Wei, which was not pleasing to both sides.
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 was still scared and asked himself, what should he choose if he was himself?
"Of course it is the most profitable choice!"
Fu Jiezi is usually hiding and not hiding, but in fact he is a person who likes to take risks and gambling. He never hesitates when he should make a decision!
So after Fu Jiezi saw that the court was about to reopen the Western Regions, he imitated the former Zhongjun. Zhang Qian took the initiative to volunteer. His remarks moved General Huo Guang and successfully took the position of Zheng.
He can also take the risk of killing the Xiongnu envoys to make up for his mistakes after the Tianma unexpected incident and failed.
And now, another choice is in front of you. Should Ren Hong be abandoned or taken over by his subordinates?
"Ren An is very stupid, but his grandson Ren Hong is a brave man..."
Fu Jiezi looked at Ren Hong, but he didn't care about his past. Which family background is innocent for those who are living in the Western Regions?
Many years have passed since the witchcraft. Although Fu Jiezi had fought with Li Guangli in the west, he did not have any major relationship with the Ershi Group because of this. He did not belong to the Prince of Weihuo, but a good family in the six counties who could only rely on his own abilities to fight!
What's more, Fu Jiezi really likes this boy. Ren Hong's words and actions are very suitable for his own taste, and his abilities and insights are far beyond those of his peers.
Fu Jiezi was ambitious. If he wanted to do a career that was even greater than that of Bo Wanghou in the Western Regions, his subordinates needed all kinds of talents, warriors, translators, cavalrymen, and even outlaws, as well as many frontiers and six counties, so recruitment was enough.
But there are not many people who can distinguish the general trend and stand on their own. Ren Hong may be a talent that can be made...
After weighing the left and right, the profits of this transaction are far greater than the risks!
So Fu Jiezi pondered for a long time and said:
"Ren Hong, I had a similar idea before. The Western Regions have too much wheat and little millet, and the envoys and troops follow the customs of the country and follow the examples of the Western Regions to use Hu cakes as dry food. This is a good way. This idea has been completed by you. If the imperial court recognizes it, it will be a contribution."
"However, even if the baked naan is really as you said, it can be preserved for half a month and is more full than millet and millet, it is not a matter of a day or a night to want to accept this item in the court and even bake it as military rations in the northern part of the Selangor!"
The Han army had a mature military ration system. Every increase, decrease and replacement must be weighed by the court, considering the costs, and then slowly promoted it to the army. It will never be possible to have results in less than half a year.
Ren Hong heard what Fu Jiezi meant: Even if the baked naan you offered could be successful, it would be a year or two for the rest of your contribution. Now the only thing you can count on is I, Fu Jiezi...
He immediately said tactfully: "The reason why Hong offered baked naan was that he did not dare to hide the good things. At the same time, he hoped that the fact that Ershi starved and killed Han soldiers due to insufficient dry food during the Western Expedition would not be repeated, and it was definitely not that he hoped to be promoted by this thing!"
"A man should be in danger, so how can he let Zao Li lose his life? What Hong hopes most is to follow Duke Fu and use his real military achievements in the Western Regions to clean up the name of Ren's unfaithfulness!"
Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "Good, if it is true as you said, I will be rewarded by the court after I return to Chang'an and I will go to the Western Regions again. Your name will be in the name of the mission. But when I return to the court this time, at least it will be the spring of the next year..."
Ren Hong understood again and immediately stated: "I can resign from the position of Xuanquan as a minor official and follow Fu's public and private affairs!"
Private servants are the patents of the servants, officials and powerful people. Ren An started as a private servant in Wei Qing.
What Ren Hong thought was that as a minor official, he could not get the talisman and leave Xuanquanzhi, but as a private servant, it would be different from Fu Jiezi. If he could sneak to Chang'an, he might have other opportunities, and he didn't have to put all the eggs in Fu Jiezi...
"Be my private servant?"
But Fu Jiezi shook his head, leaned over and picked up two arms long and short poplar trees, threw one to Ren Hong, pointed at him and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
