Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 460 Milk Khan, right?

Recommending the Great Khan, in later generations, is often considered the same as paying tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty.

It seems that they came to participate in an event lightly, and then the tributaries got real rewards, and the suzerain paid gold, silver, brocade and silk to get a name.

In fact, absolutely not the case!

For example, the tribute system of the Central Plains Dynasty is by no means a trip, offering three melons and two dates, and then running away after earning enough oil and water.

In fact, paying tribute is a very serious matter, and it places great constraints on both parties.

This is not the kind of worshiping a godfather at the wine table as imagined by later generations, or even some behaviors of worshiping a godfather. In this era, paying tribute is not worshiping a godfather, but adoption.

After paying tribute, the suzerain country can intervene in all domestic affairs of the tributary, it just depends on whether he wants to intervene or not.

Although this system was broken in the mid-Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was actually a sharp sword in the past.

There is a saying in later generations that is strong since ancient times, and weak puts aside disputes. This is actually very close to the tributary system.

If the tributary system is strong, you say a dirty word, and the father of the suzerain will spank your ass.

If you are weak, you will stand on the moral high ground, convene and drive your surrounding countries to fight against you, and then block supplies to blockade, so that your royal family will die and become an international orphan.

It is even stricter to recommend the Great Khan according to the grassland rules.

The Great Khan you recommended must come when the Great Khan recruits you to fight. If the Great Khan asks you to pay tribute, you must pay the tribute. Of course, if you have troubles, the Great Khan will also solve it for you.

And because there is a rule on the grasslands, that is, you don't have to come to the meeting to elect the Great Khan, but if you come and don't agree with the election, it is like a challenge, and you will never stop.

Therefore, everyone who has arrived in Yanqi City today has decided to elect Zhang Zhao as the Great Khan.

. . . .

Near the sea, the sun was rising, and the election meeting was about to begin. The leaders of all the ministries had already woken up early, and after eating a sumptuous meal, they went to their assigned positions one after another.

Zhang Zhao set up eight-color flags near the sea, and each color of the flag represented a tribe.

The three parts of Mt. Shargas in Yinshan are blue.

The two parts of Ge Luolu in the land of seven rivers are black.

The parts of broken leaves are red.

Basimi and Uyghur people in Yingsuo River are green.

The tribes of Gaochang Uighurs are white.

Saman Persians are blue.

Huwencheng and Anyuan Ministries are white mixed with red.

The rest of the Baximi people, Long family members, Ganzhou Uyghurs, Dadan people, and Dangxiang Zhuqiang who belonged to Zhang Zhao's country stood together with the Han people under the big purple banner symbolizing the headquarters of the Great Khan.

At the same time, eminent monks from various temples are flying swastika flags all over the lake near the sea.

From Ningyuan to the Qingtang Plateau to all parts of the Western Regions, they all came.

This is not only a meeting to elect the Great Khan, but also a grand religious ceremony.

However, the election meeting was about to start, but Zhang Zhao hadn't shown up yet, because he was meeting some old friends whom he hadn't seen for many years.

The governor of the Suiye Guo family, the representative sent by Nestorian dignitary Guo Xuanqing, turned out to be Guo Xuanli, the prudent dignitary who once strongly opposed returning to the east.

I haven't seen him for more than seven years, and Guo Xuanli hasn't aged much. Apart from his grizzled beard and hair, he is still as energetic as before.

The reason why Guo Xuanqing sent Guo Xuanli here was because Guo Xuanli missed his two sons Guo Guangsheng and Guo Guangcheng who left with Zhang Zhao, so he simply brought his whole family to move back to the Central Plains.

The person who was the last person who was unwilling to return to the east suddenly became the first one who wanted to come back on his own initiative. It has to be said that things in the world are always unpredictable
"Li Guoshou didn't send anyone here, so it must have been done by the sixth uncle, right?"

Zhang Zhao looked at Guo Xuanli who was talking to his two sons with a smile and asked.

Zhang Zhao married Guo Wan'er, the little wild cat of the Guo family, so he also called Guo Xuanqing the sixth uncle.

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Guo Xuanli's face showed a few hilarious expressions. Guo Xuanli has a deep understanding of Zhang Tianwang's temper.

Don't look at the sweetness of the mouth, when it's time to strike, he is not soft at all.

It was like this when he pushed Guo Xuanqing up and got himself down.

"After the envoy arrived at Suiye, Xuan Qing deliberately delayed meeting the envoy for five days, and then notified Li Guoshou three days later. It is estimated that Li Guoshou's envoy is still desperately running to Yanqi."

Zhang Zhao's plan to divide and rule Li Guoshou, the descendant of Suiye Guo's family and Li Sizhong, the deputy governor of Taros, has now begun to exert force.

Li Guoshou and Guo Xuanqing had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. If they hadn't restrained each other, they would have taken down Shiguocheng (Tashkent) long ago.

However, this is exactly what Zhang Zhao wants to see. In the past, he used Nasr and Hamid's father and son to fight each other, and reimbursed half of Saman Persia's main force at once. The weakening was a bit too much.

Let Guo Xuanqing and Li Guoshou fight each other now, so that he can send a large army to sit in the town in the future, and then use the abilities of the two to expand the territory.

"The third uncle will live in Liangzhou from now on, so that Guangsheng and Guangcheng can fulfill their filial piety.

In addition, ask the deputy envoy to inform the sixth uncle when he returns. Wan'er has been missing. If there is no good news next year, let the sixth uncle send Wan'er over. "

Zhang Zhao vaguely remembered that back then Guo Wan'er had a little cousin named Kui'er, who was only nine years old at the time, and she already showed the appearance of a beauty.

This Guo family is the Nestorian Knights that he prepared, God's punisher in Western Europe, and now Guo Wan'er can't give birth to a child.

Guo Xuanli quickly nodded and said yes, Guo Yu'er is not yet 17 years old, and she is already an outstanding beauty in Suiye Country.

Originally, it was also discussed to send it to Zhang Zhao, but now Zhang Zhao said it himself, whether Guo Wan'er will have a son or not, he has to send it here.

Guo Xuanli went out with his two sons, and there were only two tearful old men left in the room, they were Zhang Zhao's former loyal servant, Lao Zhang Zhong, and his cousin Song Zhongyi who stayed in Ningyuan.

"Brother Zhao!" As soon as Guo Xuanli left, old Zhang Zhong knelt on the ground with a thud, and burst into tears.

Zhang Zhao quickly helped him up. If he was loyal, the most loyal to him in this world was Lao Zhang Zhong, although his ability was a bit of a headache.

"I'm fifty-six this year? It's almost sixty years old, why kneel down? How about your eldest son? Do you want to send him to Liangzhou to follow me?"

"Mr. Trouble, I still remember the age of the servant. He is in his fifties. It has been more than six years since he left you. Come by your side."

Old Zhang Zhong is getting old, and he looks much older than before. He has been following Zhang Zhao for decades, but finally he is still in his later years, enjoying the wealth that ordinary people can hardly have.

Married a lovely wife who was more than [-] years younger than him, and took a beautiful concubine with an old heart.

Ning Yuan is in charge of Zhang Zhao's private farm of more than [-] mu. Even when Zhang Zhao's mother, Princess Fengtian, was in Ning Yuan, she had to seek Zhang Zhong's opinion on everything, and she respected him very much, because Zhang Zhao could be said to be old Zhang Zhong. Carry the big one in one hand.

Now that the old boy has four children, his energy is really strong. In Ningyuan, even Zhang Zhong's servants have become officials, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

"Cousin, your weight is really gaining so fast! You must be a hundred and seventy catties?" Helping old Zhang Zhong up, Zhang Zhao laughed at Song Zhongyi again.

The nephew of Zhang Zhaosheng's mother injured his leg in the battle against the famous Persian general Adulal at the edge of Yaoshashui, and did not follow him back to the east.

Zhang Zhao gave him thousands of acres of land, appointed him an official, and enjoyed himself in Ningyuan with a few soldiers from Shandu who also didn't return east.

Song Zhongyi smiled embarrassedly. After not fighting all these years, he can be said to be open to enjoyment in Ningyuan.

Six wives and concubines, not only have nearly [-] mu of land, but are still doing business, and their weight has long been out of control.

"Thanks to Mr. Erlang, it's not a hundred and seventy catties now, it's more than one hundred and eighty catties, but Mr. Erlang is still the same as before."

Just as he was still talking to the two of them, Guo Tiance came outside to report that the election meeting was about to start.

Zhang Zhao could only signal to the two of them to come back later. In the evening, the brothers who used to regret Shandu would definitely have a good get-together.

. . . .

The rumbling drums were beating, and Zhang Zhao rode in a six-carriage carriage, which belonged to the captured Jielipika.

But the yellow umbrella on the roof is not the fake made by Jieli Pijia, but Li Shengtian's treasure.

The various tribes who came to the election had already set up their banners in different regions according to the pre-arranged banners.

But these herdsmen on the grassland don't have any discipline.

The Basimi people in Yingsuochuan and the Gaochang Uyghurs were better off, after all, they had a deep Sinicization, but Xia Jiasi and a Geluolu people were in a mess.

The two sides already had some animosity. For a while, they made noise, scolded each other, picked up mud, stones and even horse manure on the ground and threw each other randomly, making a mess like a large-scale brawl.

And with Zhang Zhao's appearance, the leading silver knife officer was wearing a brocade robe and holding a sharp Shangfang Saber, which frightened these tribes and did not dare to move.

Immediately afterwards, the drummers in spotted floral dresses on both sides also began to play Gagaku.

Zhang Zhao was guarded by the elite Habayashi guards from the left and right sides of the Liang Kingdom, the elite knights with armored iron horses, and the elites of the town armies, plus the 500 Iron Armored Palace Guards from the Khotan Jin Kingdom, a total of [-] people.

These 500 people, all in iron armor and tall horses under their crotch, immediately frightened the various tribes that were still in a mess just now, kneeling on the ground in fear.

Not to mention anything else, these [-] armored infantry are not something they can fight against.

In addition, the cavalry from various tribes of the Liang Kingdom who followed Zhang Zhaolai were also present.

Just near the sea, Liangguo's army demonstrated that the elite archers covered and covered the army, and drove out the opponent's light cavalry. Go forward to break the formation, and finally the armored cavalry completes the actual combat exercise of the final strike.

A series of clouds and flowing water, changing formations in just a moment, bows and crossbows are fired at once, iron cavalry advance like a wall, light armored cavalry and cavalry archers are sturdy and fast.

Even the three tribes of Mirgas, who were originally lured by the wealth, were frightened silly, and the leaders knelt down and bowed down one after another.

After the performance of Liang Guo's army, all the ministries also performed to the sweat in their hearts, performing the riding and shooting that the prairie cavalry is best at.

Although it was much different from Liang Guo's army, it was still considered sturdy.

Zhang Zhao immediately rewarded the chiefs of the various ministries, allowing them to have the opportunity of tax exemption of [-] guan once a year, and send cronies to participate in merchant trade.

He also stated that he would select a proton army of 400 people from the descendants of the leaders of the various ministries to accompany him.

This is also the practice of the grassland people, not punishment, but preferential treatment.

The chiefs of the tribes were very happy. After performing the procedures that should be followed in the election meeting, the chiefs of the tribes each contributed a piece of firewood, and finally gathered together to burn it to sacrifice to heaven.

This is the so-called burnt burning, and this custom exists in the Central Plains and grasslands.

Finally, in front of the sacrificial fire, Gaochang Uighur, Suzhou Longjia, Yingsuochuan Baximi, Ge Luolu of the Seven Rivers, Yinshan Xiajiasi three tribes, Suiye tribes, Huwencheng Turkic people Wait for eleven.

He publicly recommended Zhang Zhao as the Great Khan of the Prairie, and his honorary title was Qiu Dou Fa, and he was called Qiu Dou Fa Khan.

play?

Zhang Zhao immediately said no!

Because Qiudoufa is an ancient Rouran language, also known as ancient Mongolian, and its original meaning is to drive a carriage with both hands, so the artistic conception of Qiudoufa Khan in Chinese is the master of the world.

But Zhang Zhao was not happy. First, the first Qiudoufa Khan was Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Shelun. Although he was also the hero, his name was not obvious.

The second is that now it is the world of Turkic-speaking grassland peoples. You gave Lao Tzu the title of Khan in the Rouran language. If you want to fish in troubled waters and reduce the gold content, I am afraid that you are thinking too much, playing word games in front of the Han people?

Here, as soon as Zhang Zhao said he would not accept it, the drums began to beat, and tens of thousands of soldiers beat their armor with their blades.

In an instant, gold and iron clashed, and the intent to kill rose up.

The leaders of the various ministries were sweating profusely, and quickly began to discuss again, and finally decided that the title should be Yili Khan, and the full name is Yili Khan Blessed by Tengger.

This Yili means territory and domain in ancient Turkic. In the words of the Han people, it means swallowing Liuhe and sweeping all directions. Nipu is a prefix, which means to shine brightly.

Therefore, after a vacancy of 80 years, Zhang Zhao was supported by all ethnic groups near the sea.

Uh!However, Zhang Zhao felt something was wrong after listening to it.

Bright Yili Khan?

Selling milk, right?
