Chapter 066 Anyi and Poqiang

In November, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent Zhonglang General Dou Gu and Captive General Ma Wu to lead 40,000 troops to suppress the rebellion.

In July 58, Ma Wu and others defeated the Shaodang Qiang, and all other rebellious Qiang tribes surrendered or fled.

Dianwu surrendered in the second year. Dou Lin, the Qiang guard captain, translated Dianwu into Dianwu and Dian'an, saying that it was Dianwu and his younger brother Dian'an who led their troops to invade Longxi County, claiming that the two heroes had surrendered.

After Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty learned the truth, he dismissed him from office.

After Dianwu's death, his sons Dongwu and Miwu succeeded him.

In 77 AD, in Anyi County (today's Ledu, Qinghai Province), an official robbed a Qiang woman to be his wife and was killed by the woman's husband.

Anyi County Magistrate Zong Yan hunted the murderer all the way to the outside of the Great Wall.

The Qiang people of this tribe were afraid of being punished, so they killed Zongyan together and united the Lejie and Wuliang tribes to rebel.

Therefore, Miwu led all the tribes to rebel together. Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty appointed Fu Yu, the prefect of Wuwei County, as the captain of the Qiang Protector.

Miwu united with more than 50,000 feudal tribesmen to attack Longxi County and Hanyang County.

In August, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty sent the cavalry general Ma Fang and the Changshui captain Geng Gong to lead the Northern Army's Yueqi, Tunqi, infantry, Changshui, Shesheng and other five schools as well as the crossbowmen from each county, a total of 30,000 people, crusade against the Qiang people.

When Ma Fang and others' troops were in Ji County (today's Tianshui, Gansu Province), they defeated the Qiang people and captured more than 4,000 people. They then rescued Lintao and Miwu escaped.

In 86, he and his younger brother Haowu invaded Longxi, and Haowu was captured alive.

Zhang Yu, the prefect of Longxi, released Haowu, and Haowu disbanded his own army. Miwu retreated to Guiyi City, north of the Yellow River.

Fu Yu, the captain who protected the Qiang, wanted to provoke the Qiang and Hu people to fight against each other. The Qiang and Hu people knew Fu Yu's intention, so they rebelled and went out of the fortress to attach themselves to Miwu.

In March 87, Emperor Zhang ordered Zhang Yu, the prefect of Longxi, to serve as a captain to protect the Qiang. He defeated the Qiang soldiers in Mucheng Valley, and Miwu surrendered. Later, Zhang Yu planned to kill Miwu and ambushed more than Qiang chiefs. My son is obsessed with Tang Jili.

In 88, the ministers elected Deng Xun, the former governor of Zhangye, to replace Zhang Yu as the captain of the Qiang Protector.

Mi Tang led 10,000 cavalry to attack the Xiaoyuezhi Hu who had surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

Some officials believed that it would be beneficial to the Han Dynasty if the Qiang and Hu attacked each other.

Deng Xun said that Zhang Yu broke his promise and caused various tribes of Qiang people to rebel. We should treat him with kindness and make him useful to me.

Then he ordered the city gates to be opened to admit the wives and children of Xiaoyuezhi Hu.

The Qiang soldiers failed, so they withdrew.

Therefore, the Hu people in Huangzhong area respected Deng Xun.

Deng Xun again recruited various Qiang tribes to surrender. His uncle, Mi Tang, named me, and led 800 Qiang households in his tribe to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

Deng Xun went out with four thousand troops and defeated Mi Tang in Shui Valley. Mi Tang withdrew from Da Yu Valley and Xiao Yu Valley to Po Yan Valley.

In the spring of 89, Mi Tang planned to return to Dayu and Xiaoyu Valley.

Deng Xun ordered Shi Renshang to lead 6,000 soldiers from Huangzhong, defeating the Midang Dynasty, killing more than 1,800 people, capturing 2,000 people, and seizing more than 30,000 horses, cattle, and sheep, causing the Midang Dynasty to be destroyed.

Mi Tang gathered the remaining troops and moved more than a thousand miles westward. Dongwu's son Donghao came and surrendered.

In 97, Mi Tang led a group of people to invade Longxi County. Together with other Qiang tribes, there were a total of infantry and cavalry.

Emperor He of the Han Dynasty sent Liu Shang to act as General of the Western Expedition, with Yueqi Xiaowei as his deputy, leading 30,000 Han, Qiang, and Hu troops to attack.

Mi Tang fled to the south of Lintao. Liu Shang defeated the Tang army in the high mountains and captured more than a thousand people.

In 99 AD, under the plan of the visitor Geng Tan, Mi Tang surrendered to the Han Dynasty and went to the capital Luoyang to meet with him.

At this time, there were less than two thousand remaining members of the Mi Tang Dynasty. Due to hunger and poverty, they all moved to Jincheng.

Emperor He of the Han Dynasty ordered Mi Tang to lead his troops back to Dayu and Xiaoyu Valleys.

Because the Han Dynasty built river bridges, the Da Yu Valley and Xiao Yu Valley were no longer safe. Mi Tang used the hunger of his tribe as an excuse to refuse to travel far.

Wu Zhi, the captain of the Qiang Protector, gave Mi Tang a lot of gold and silk and asked him to buy grain and livestock.

But the Qiang people believed that the imperial court had a conspiracy. In 100 AD, Mi Tang rebelled again, attacking, killing and looting.

In 101, Mi Tang led his troops back to Cizhihequ and approached the Han Dynasty frontier fortress.

Zhou Tun, the captain who protected the Qiang, and Hou Ba, the prefect of Jincheng, led 30,000 troops and defeated Mi Tang. Shaodang Qiang collapsed. More than 6,000 people surrendered. Mi Tang fled across the source of the Cizhi River and took refuge with Fa Qiang.

Many years later, Mi Tang died of illness, and his son Lai Long came to surrender. There were no more than dozens of households in the tribe.

In 107 AD, the Han Dynasty conscripted the Qiang people to garrison the Western Regions. The Qiang people were dissatisfied and fled in large numbers.

Therefore, Donghao's sons, Manu brothers, went westward with the headquarters to go out of the fortress.

The Dianling and Zhongqiang tribes looted and cut off the Long Road.

In June of 120, Ma Xian, the captain of the Qiang Protector Corps, led soldiers to attack the Shen Di Qiang in Zhangye, killing people and capturing more than people.

The Shaodang Qiang and Shao He tribes heard that Ma Xian's army had returned to Jincheng, and the Shao He tribe attacked Zhangye.

In 121 AD, Renliang and others of the Shaodang Qiang were dissatisfied with Ma Xian's treatment of the Manu brothers and led their tribes to invade Huangzhong and Jincheng counties.

In August, Ma Xian led Lingqiang to fight back. Manu and others attacked Wuwei again. Ma Xian lured and lured Manu south, forcing Manu to return to Huangzhong.

In 122 years, Ma Xian pursued Manu to Huangzhong and defeated the Qiang army. Manu's men fled and Manu was embarrassed. He led his troops to surrender to Geng Zhong, the prefect of Hanyang.

In 124, Manu died and his younger brother Xiku succeeded him.

In October 138, Nali and others, leader of the Shaodang Qiang, led more than cavalry to invade Jincheng County, but were defeated by Ma Xian.

On the eighth day of April in 139, Ma Xian led an army to attack the Shaodang Qiang, beheaded Nali, and killed and captured more than Shaodang Qiang people.

Shaohe Qiang is also one of the ancient Qiang tribes.

He originally lived as a herder in the Nanshan Mountains of Zhangye, Hexi, and was adjacent to Lu Shuihu. He was attacked by Lu Shuihu in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Bi Tongqian led his troops to move south and joined the Han Linqiang Chang.

The chief of Linqiang took advantage of the occasional lawbreakers among his Qiang people and imprisoned and burned the He Qiang female leader Bi Tongqi, killing six to seven hundred of her people. This aroused the anger of the Qiang people, and the government released Bi Tongqi, which caused a great change.

In the first year of Zhanghe (87 years), the Shaohe Qiang and Shaodang Qiang formed an alliance and launched an army against the Han. The war lasted for more than 10 years.

After the defeat, the Heqiang people were burned and moved to Andingdu (today's Zhenyuan area of ​​Gansu Province).

In the joint uprising of the Eastern and Western Qiang, in the first year of Emperor Shun's reign of Han'an (142 AD), more than 3000 He Qiang people were burned and more than 1500 He Qiang people were killed. They fought with Zhao Chong, the Han guard and Qiang captain, in the northern boundary of Anding County. In the second year, Zhao Chong and Hanyang officers and soldiers killed and burned 18 He Qiang people. The remaining people robbed of their livestock.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some Shaohe and Shaodang Qiang in Jincheng and Longxi jointly attacked the Han Longxi and Jincheng fortresses. Duan Jiong, the Han guard Qiang captain, first attacked them in Huanggu, and then pursued them for a long distance. They went out of the fortress for more than 2000 miles and killed Marshal He. More than 5000 people were killed, and the rest dispersed.

If we say that the growth of Shaohe tribe and Shaodang Qiang originated from the late Three Kingdoms period, the Wei and Jin Dynasties provided a lot of support to them, which led to their establishment of a country in the subsequent history.

Then the growth of Zhong Qiang comes from the decline of Shao He Tribe and Shaodang Qiang before their growth.

Zhong Qiang is also one of the ancient Qiang tribes.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, they lived in the area south of the Dayu and Xiaoyu Valleys (part of the area south of the Yellow River in present-day Hainan Prefecture) in what is now southern Gansu Province, and adjacent to the Shaodang Qiang local area in the north.
