Chapter 2094: Vol 2 Chapter 1851:

The nine surnames of Zhaowu refer to the general term for the Sogdians or

their descendants who came to the Central Plains from the Sogdian region in

Central Asia during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang

Dynasties. The kings of them all used Zhaowu as their surname.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu were originally from Yueshi. In the early Han

Dynasty, the Huns broke the Yue clan and forced them to move west. The Yue

clan, whose hometown is Zhaowu in Hexi, modern Gansu, Linze, Zhaowu and near

Zhangye, fled westward, entered the Sogdian region of Central Asia, conquered

the local indigenous people, and formed several city-states. Later, in order

to rule by Hao Da, he was forced to change his surname to Wen Wen Na Sha.

After the decline of 嚈Da, the city-states regained their independence and

regained their surname Zhaowu, forming the Sogdian city-states headed by Kang

Guo. Among them are An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Shi, Mu, and Bi, collectively

referred to as "Zhaowu Nine Surnames" "In the Tang Dynasty, it was also called

"Nine-surnamed Hu" or simply "Hu", while in Western language it was called

"Sogdians".

Later, some of the nine surnames Hu accepted the rule of the Turkic and Tang

dynasties. In the eighth century, the country died in the Arab empire. After

that, most of his countrymen gradually became Turkic and became part of the

modern Uzbek people in Central Asia. Disperse among the Tajiks.

Although the nine surnames of Zhaowu are far inferior to the Turks in combat

capability, their "business attributes" are far higher than any nomadic people

in the north. As the Sogdian region was the throat of the middle section of

the Silk Road, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the Sogdians, naturally became a

nation with a tradition of business. To put it bluntly, they became hereditary

"traffickers" and sold Chinese silk to the West. , Selling Western gems and

wines to the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the nomads started out but couldn't beat other people's Datang,

they can only rely on their mobility to become businessmen, and even the art

of papermaking was passed to Central Asia and other places by the people of

Kangguo. In fact, since the Han and Wei dynasties, these Sogdians have entered

the Central Plains to do business along the Silk Road, but because the

subsequent Western Jin Dynasty was a short-lived ghost, the Central Plains was

overwhelmed by the chaos and business was tepid.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, thanks to the shining and open and inclusive

imperial national policy of the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, the

Silk Road was given new vitality. This attracted a large number of people from

the nine surnames of Zhaowu to come to the east. The old Tang book records:

"Xinghu's journey, the years have passed."

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of nine surnames

from Zhaowu came to China. Many of them became rich because of business. They

envied the colorful culture of the Tang Empire. They married wives and had

children in the mainland, and gradually became Chinese. Some even formed

considerable political forces. . The fastest updated novels https://

For example, the An brothers, the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui

Dynasty, and Li Gui seized Liangzhou. In order to regain the Liangzhou area,

An Xinggui played Li Yuan, hoping to persuade Li Gui to return to the Tang

Dynasty. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan did not agree, so the two again offered to merge.

Finally, he helped Tang Jun flatten the Liang Wang Li Gui who occupied Hexi.

Because of the outstanding merits of the An brothers, An Xinggui was awarded

the title of General Youwuhou, the Shangzhu Kingdom sealed the Liang Guogong,

Shishi sealed six hundred households, and gave ten thousand pieces of silk. An

Xiuren was also given the title of General Zuo Wuhou, named Shen Guogong,

given to a farm, and sealed six hundred households.

However, this An has nothing to do with An Lushan's An absolutely nothing.

Although they are all Sogdians and their surnames are An, this An is actually

equivalent to our surnames like Liu, Wang, and Li. The Sogdian surname is

gone. Not only that, An Baoyu, an offspring of the An family, was later reused

by the famous ZTE general Li Guangbi. In the fight against the Anshi rebels,

he repeatedly built Qixun. The court gave the country the surname Li and moved

to Sikong with merit.

Li Baoyu’s cousin, Li Baozhen, later became the Zelu Jiedu Envoy. He also made

great efforts to resist the rebellion in the towns of Heshuo. After the

official prosecutor, Sikong, he sealed five hundred households, and the

settlement can be regarded as a "full loyalty." Up. In fact, during the Anshi

Rebellion, there were many Huren who made contributions to "bring sugar" and

sacrificed their lives. For example, Li Guangbi was a Khitan, a standard

Huren. As the Tang Dynasty pursued an open policy, many foreigners served as

officials in the court, forming a unique "fan soldiers and generals" in the

history of the Tang Dynasty. The nine surnames of Zhaowu are a force that

cannot be ignored.

they are rich, very, very rich, and once people have money, they will find

ways to seek a certain political status. Today, the nine surnames of Zhaowu

Except for those who entered the dynasty as officials by chance, a large

number of Zhaowu nine surnames were engaged in business in the Tang Dynasty,

and at the same time they used money to rely on some powerful local forces,

and Zhaowu, who had nine surnames and a united spirit, was doing business

abroad. The nine surnames are surprisingly united. It is not an exaggeration

to describe the eight words "difficulty on one side and support from all

sides". Therefore, the power of the nine surname Zhaowu in the Tang Dynasty

should not be underestimated!

Not to mention that Kang Changan is still from Kang Guo, the suzerain of the

nine surnames of Zhaowu, and it is a coincidence that this guy has something

not based on national power, but on economic "soft power"!

Not only did they monopolize the transactions between Datang and Western

countries, but even within Datang, the business and economic lifeline of many

states and counties were in the hands of the Jiuxing Hu! As the saying goes,
