Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 769 I am the Khan of Heaven

Chengde Mansion, Yulin Garden, this place is called Mulan Paddock in later generations, it is the place where the Manchu Qing emperor and a group of Mongolian princes gathered and hunted.

And in this era, naturally became the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I, Zhang Shengren, and the leaders of Moxi, Monan, Mobei and Songmo held the village shooting ceremony and hunting place.

But today, there must be no hunting, because the ancients were very particular about the hunting season.

The animals in April are in a good season to grow fat. Before that, because of the winter, most of the animals were very thin and had little flesh on their bodies.

More importantly, at this time, most of the animals had rotten cubs in their stomachs. Hunting and killing pregnant animals was considered by the ancients to be very against the law of heaven. Even in later generations, few people would do such a thing.

However, although hunting has been cancelled, it is more traditional in the Han area, and it is also a rural archery ceremony that Zhang Ting really wants to spread to the grasslands, which can perfectly replace hunting.

Guiyi Bobian, that is, the general paozi of the Mulan Paddock of later generations, has silver white, ocher yellow and red tents, with a huge silver palace tent as the core, extending in all directions.

In the middle of the silver-and-white emperor's big tent, besides the silver-white-gold sun-moon banner symbolizing the emperor and the silver-white three-star flag symbolizing the Great Zhou, there is also a six-legal patriarchal banner with a gold swastika on a silver-white background.

Zhiluge rode on a tall horse that obviously had the blood of the Hexi Dragon Horse, and he was wearing a robe made of Khotan fine cloth that he had never imagined before.

He also deliberately lowered the collar of his robe so that others could see the chain mail he was wearing under it.

The Yehusha tribe has developed in the past few months, because they are the first tribe to be interviewed by the Supreme Heaven.

And after the Beizhu Buren and Dilie Babu were severely hit, the Supreme Heaven will naturally promote a group of confidants.

So when they saw the banner of the Six Dharma Schools, the Yejuba tribe, who took the initiative to seek refuge, and the Xizubu people, who were dressed in Lu Zhen's pajamas by Lu Sanlang, immediately climbed to the heads of the tribes of Yanran Mountain.

With the loud laughter coming from behind, Zhiluge turned his head and saw that the young men from the Yejuza tribe were riding dragon horses, chasing a team of Mier beggars passing by them and running around.

Of course, the air-dried mutton and pancakes dropped by the beggars became the boys' trophies.

This is the pure grassland law. Although everyone now believes in the Supreme Heaven and will elect the Supreme Heaven to become the Khan of Heaven, this does not prevent the strong from bullying the weak everywhere.

Everyone thinks this is normal. When did the weak Gazelle dare to pass by the wolves?

There were only dozens of Mierqi people who were driven out and looted. Not only were their numbers small, but each of them looked like they hadn't eaten for many days.

There are at least two days away from Chengde Mansion, and it is doubtful whether they can persist until then.

Tuo Hei Da held the rein tightly with his right hand, so that his fingers turned white. He glanced at the angry and angry clansmen around him, and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone be careful, let's avoid some people, this is the disaster that Hulu Basuo, an idiot, brought to Mier beggars.

If we can't go to Chengde to worship the Supreme Heaven this time, our clansmen in the North Sea will have no way out. "

Tu Heida is the new chief of Mierqi. This powerful ethnic group that was so powerful that even the Zubers were a little wary, has suffered an extremely painful blow in the past few months.

Under the guidance of the Menggu people and the Tuzara people, the powerful Central Plains cavalry launched three large-scale raids on the Mierqi people.

At least thousands of Mierqi warriors were killed in these raids, and countless cattle, sheep, horses, and women were taken away.

This heavy loss forced Mierqi to abandon the fertile pastures on both sides of the Xuelinge River (Selenge River) and flee to the more bitter and cold North Sea.

Tu Hei Da is a very knowledgeable person, because he has not only been to the territory of the Menggu people, the Zub people, and the Di Lie people, but also communicated with the merchants who arrived in various ministries. He even mixed with the Di Lie people and went to Khitan People's Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.

So he clearly knew how powerful the Khitan people were.

Correspondingly, the Central Plains people who can wipe out the Khitan people, the legendary Zhongtian Khan Emperor, how powerful the country should be, let alone how powerful it is.

So the tribe hadn't retreated to the 'safe house' by the North Sea, Tu Heida directly launched a mutiny.

He took the warriors of Mierqi full of anger, killed his uncle chief Hulu Bashu, and then selected a hundred warriors who were the strongest, and took Hulu Bashu's head, and went south to plead guilty to the Supreme Heaven .

However, this journey was far more difficult than what Tuo Hei Da had imagined. It took them a month and a half to walk more than 100 miles away from Chengde Mansion. Few of the horses were dead, and only 40 of the [-] warriors were left. many people.

Just when the group of Mier beggars were about to continue their journey, there was a loud sound of hoofbeats, and Tuo Hei Da screamed, leading the remaining dozens of warriors to abandon their horses and hide in a distant mountain.

Their war horses were already extremely thin, and with the sound of hooves, there were at least a few hundred elite riders. It was impossible for them to escape with the help of horsepower, so they had to run up the mountain.

Tuo Hei hoped that if the other party took their skinny horse, they would let them go to the mountain to search. As for how to get to Chengde Mansion without the horse and the little food left, it was no longer a matter of consideration.

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations. The horses that came this time were Hexi Tianmas, which were even better than the Yejuzabu who had just chased them. Before Tuo Heida and the others escaped to the foot of the mountain, they were surrounded by more than 100 horses.

A very strong man in silver-white armor, who had never seen him in black, easily knocked them down and formed a defensive formation.

The thick horsewhip in the strong man's hand was ruthlessly waving, like beating disobedient animals, lashing Tuohida and the Mierqi warriors around him. Everyone was desperate and humiliated, but there was nothing they could do.

"Hahaha, my son is really brave. When I meet the saint this time, Yeye will help you find a real hard-earned horse. At that time, you can become the most powerful warrior in the world like the king of Liaoyang County! "

Lu Sanlang laughed loudly and said that he only felt very appetizing for the rough and heroic behavior of the heir who was originally named Baktu but now changed his name to Luktu.

If it is hard work for Zhede to stay on the grassland to guard, Lu Sanlang will enjoy it.

He even suspected that he might have been a prairie man in the first place, because everything here, whether it was ethics or the rules of survival, was so in line with Lu Sanlang's soul.

As the first grassland tribe to seek refuge, the Xiduobu people who served as key guides several times during Zhang Zhou's army's departure from the fortress, of course, also because Lu Sanlang became the leader of the Xiduobu people.

This large tribe originally belonged to the Soothsayers, and its status rose rapidly after the Battle of the Grassland.

The population has increased from the original [-] tents to [-] tents. Not to mention, there is also an elite cavalry wearing iron armor, holding a hard bow, and riding Hexi horses, with a number of as many as [-] cavalry.

Lu Sanlang looked at the black-and-white answer like a bereaved dog, and pointed his hand vigorously, ready to ask Luketu to deal with this man who seemed to be the leader, and then merge the remaining warriors into his team.

After all, it was trained by Gulam. It is hard to say the combat effectiveness, but the ability to judge people is very accurate.

Although these people in front of them are thin and weak, their bones are very well-proportioned. No matter they are tall or short, as long as they grow their flesh, they will be good warriors.

However, to Lu Sanlang's surprise, after seeing the killing intent in Lu Sanlang's eyes, these people not only did not disperse, but gathered around Tuo Hei Da, and covered Tuo Hei Da with their bodies, although there was fear in their eyes , but more of a decision.

Lu Sanlang immediately made a stop gesture. On the grassland, there are not no loyal ministers and righteous men, but very, very few.

In the harsh natural environment of the grassland, people's choices tend to be more like wild animals, and there is not much room for loyal ministers and righteous people to survive.

"Which tribe do you belong to? There are dozens of people in the area, and you also want to pay homage to Tian Khan?" Lu Sanlang immediately stepped forward and asked in Turkic.

Tuo Hei Da pushed aside the crowd standing in front of him, bravely came out and replied, "We are Mier beggars, and we want to go to Chengde Mansion to ask the Supreme Bodhisattva for forgiveness."

"It turned out to be Mier beggars, yeah, Ranger killed them all!" Luketu shouted loudly.

"Yes! Ye Hu, kill these Mier beggars, they are the enemies of Buddha!" ​​The surrounding Xidubu warriors also roared angrily.

Tuo Hei suddenly lifted the wooden box containing Hulu Ba's lost head high.

"The Buddha's enemy is not Mierqiren, but Hulu Basuo. It is he who deceived us so that we could not become believers in the supreme heaven. Mierqi has already killed Hulu Basuo. We are not Buddha's enemies!"

As soon as Lu Sanlang waved his hand, the roar stopped. The people of Xizhubu, including Yulizi and Luketu's mother and son, are very respectful of Lu Sanlang now, because Lu Sanlang's identity as a Han son brought a lot of pressure to the Xizubu people. There are considerable benefits to come.

A few people from Xizhubu who had seen Hulubasuo stepped forward immediately, opened the box, and after identifying the already dried head for a while, nodded to Lu Sanlang.

The head in the box is indeed the former chief of Mierqi, Hulu Bashi.

Having been confirmed, Lu Sanlang's face suddenly became relaxed, he smiled and nodded at Heida, "You are a wolf who knows good and evil, I hope you can be forgiven by the heavens."

Saying that, Lu Sanlang waved at Luketu, "Give them fifty horses, and leave two days' food."

Tuo Hei had already prepared to be killed, but he was stunned when he heard the words, and he thanked Lu Sanlang for a while.

"This Ye Hu, today's generous gift, Mier's begging to take off the black answer will always be remembered in my heart, and I will definitely repay it ten times in the future."

Lu Sanlang waved his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and led the tribe to the south, the voice came from afar.

"If you can get the forgiveness of the heavens, then you will be brothers in the future. These fifty horses are the greeting gift from the Xizubu people to the brothers and tribes."

Tu Hei Da was so moved that tears were about to come out. It was the first time he felt the benefits of being a believer in the Supreme Heaven, and he vowed in his heart that he must be forgiven by the Supreme Heaven.

Luketu approached Lu Sanlang with some resentment, "Yeah, why did you give up your precious war horses and food to some wild dogs?"

Lu Sanlang laughed, "My son, you have to be clear about one truth, everything on this grassland is a gift from heaven.

Even if it is a wild dog, as long as the Supreme Heaven is willing to accept him, he can become the noblest wolf king.

On the contrary, if the most noble wolf king disobeyed the supreme heaven, then he would immediately become the cheapest wild dog that everyone shouted and beaten.

Among the 12 households of the Supreme Heaven, there are tens of thousands of Mierqi households, so no matter how they are hit, the Mierqi people can still become one of the powerful tribes on the grassland. We are just following the will of the Supreme Heaven. "

. . . . .

Fengen Hall is located in the northwest of Chengde Mansion, under Modou Ridge and by the Luan River.

Most of the chiefs from the grasslands entered Chengde Mansion from here.

Because on the vast grassland, the Luan River is the most obvious guide, as long as you follow the river, you will definitely be able to reach Chengde Mansion.

The Feng En Hall was established to welcome these tribal leaders who came from the grasslands. After they arrived here, they not only had to bathe and cleanse themselves under the arrangement of officials from the Ministry of Rites, but also learned various court etiquettes.

Zhang Tie deliberately made the etiquette a little cumbersome, repeatedly torturing the patience of these vulgar grassland nobles.

As long as anyone can't bear such cumbersome etiquette and runs away, then his tribe can be handed over to others.

. . . .

In the fourth year of Shaoming, on April [-]th, on an auspicious day, as the first ray of sunlight appeared in the distant sky in the morning, a school captain in Jinyi, wearing a silver-white flying fish suit, climbed up the high watchtower.

He was holding a silver-white flag in his hand. When he waved the flag left and right on the watchtower, the three trumpeters on the watchtower whined and blew the horns in their hands.

One, two, three, the nearby watchtowers blew their horns one after another, and then the drums in the army also began to beat.

Amidst the sound of drums, the drummers belonging to Taichang Temple played the "Music of the Holy Gods and Gods in the World" in every corner of the camp.

This is the flattering master drum music made by Zhang Ting after he lost Taichang Temple and the tradition of gala music in the middle of Tang Dynasty. Taichang Temple has recruited musicians from all over the world.

The heads of various ministries from the grassland lived in twelve-color tents, corresponding to the 12 households in Zhang Ting's grassland.

They had already listened to this kind of drum music in the Feng En Pavilion, and their ears were calloused. Of course, they also knew what they should do when this kind of music sounded.

Immediately, the leaders of these various ministries hurriedly put on the robes bestowed on them by the emperor, and under the corresponding banners, led their guards out of the camp area and galloped to the shooting place near Guiyibo.

Zhang Tie sits on the six chariots of the emperor. In front of the chariot frame, thirty eminent monks above the six dharma sects are holding magical instruments and chanting sutras.

The car slowly passed in front of the leaders of the grassland and Songmo tribes. They all chanted the Buddha's name and bowed to the ground.

Behind Zhang Yu's car was the Zuo Yulin Guard Fenghuo Cavalry Battalion personally led by Qu Qilang and Qu Yanqing as guards.

Under the banner of Lie Lie of Zuo Yulin Guard, three hundred brave cavalry in cloth-faced iron armor but horses without armor, accompanied them solemnly holding their horses.

The horses in their hands are almost all ancestral high-quality products. They are more than ten feet long, can be stabbed and hammered, are both strong and full of toughness, and are far from the comparison between ordinary sabers and inferior guns and hammers held by cavalry on the grassland.

The crotch is also top-notch Hexi Tianma, with a shoulder height of more than five feet three inches. Compared with them, the horses on the grassland are almost as short as donkeys.

In addition to the three hundred Xiao cavalry, there were also two hundred hussars from the Fenghuo Cavalry Battalion wearing armless chain mail, double iron helmets, holding hard bows, and sabers hanging on the side of their horses.

Outside their chain mail, they wore a smock made of brocade, which looked rich and strong. The knights were in high spirits, and they had a taste of looking down on the world.

And behind them, there are three hundred armored cavalry in Regret Shandu led by Li Zhaoyuan. Li Zhaoyuan is the nephew of his aunt Li Ruoliu, and his father is Li Ruotai, Zhang Zhou's first generation armored cavalry.

These three hundred armored riders and horses are all armored. The horses and people are wrapped in thick armor leaves, only a pair of eyes are exposed. The horses under the crotch are not only more than five feet tall at the shoulder, but also have legs that are thicker than the mouth of a bowl. Thick and very slender.

There are quite a few people who know horses on the grassland, and they can tell at a glance that such a war horse is not only very powerful in carrying weight, but also has a sprinting speed, no, it should be said that it is an instantaneous burst speed, and it must be terrifyingly fast.

As soon as the [-] riders came out, the leaders of the grassland tribes who were buzzing just now became quiet as if they had been drugged with dumb drugs.

When the three hundred cavalrymen came out, the leaders of Yanran Mountain in Mobei and Mountain Langjuxu kept their mouths shut, because this kind of cavalrymen with armored horses and no armor was naturally their nemesis.

Because these tribes are slightly close to the Han land, they can still have a small number of soldiers, but they can't compare with the cavalry of the Great Zhou.

In particular, these brave cavalry also have strong horses and excellent horses. In a confrontation, ten grassland warriors can defeat one brave cavalry.

And when two hundred hussars wearing chain mail or chain mail came out, the tribal leaders from Langjuxu Mountain north to Beihai and Yuerhai all lowered their heads in horror.

They are not afraid of the Xiao cavalry, because it is difficult for such armored cavalry to reach the bitter cold land north of Langjuxu Mountain.

Even if they barely reached, they could retreat calmly, and they could consume these armored cavalry just by dodging.

But these hussars are different. Their armor is only a dozen catties, and the burden on the horses is relatively small, and they are better at fighting with bows and sabers.

Therefore, it was possible to use grassland combat methods to deal with the grassland cavalry in Mobei. This was well confirmed two months ago.

Tuo Hei looked at those hussars, recalling that terrifying scene in his mind.

It is these cavalrymen, under the guidance of the Menggu people or the Tuzara people, they often appear around the tribe like ghosts and ghosts.

Then, and there was no more, their horses were faster, so they could easily catch up with the tribe's warriors and hack them to death.

Their bows are better and can often cause mass damage at longer ranges.

Their armor is good, even if Mierqi shoots heavy arrows with a big bow, it is difficult for these knights to lose their fighting power.

Compared with them, the more cold and enduring horses of the Mierqi were as small as donkeys or even wild dogs.

Even the arrowheads that Mierqi had ground out of the hardest bones could not penetrate the iron armor of Zhou people at all.

And their iron arrows only need one arrow to kill a warrior wearing cowhide armor.

These devilish iron cavalry of Zhou Kingdom are not something that Mierqi can fight against.

Commander Li Zhaoyuan's armored cavalry mainly deterred the Khitan, Shiwei, Dadan and other tribes in Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion just north of Chengde.

These tribes are close to the Han land, and even armored cavalry can reach them quickly. Although it is easier for them to obtain iron armor and weapons than the tribes in Mobei and Moxi, but facing armored cavalry, they are not at all. No ability to fight back.

"The edict of the sage, the four guardians of Moxi, come forward and see!"

After Zhang Yu got out of the car, the nearby servants sang loudly, and the voices passed on one by one, and finally turned into thunderous roars when they reached the hundreds of soldiers guarding them.

Among the four ten thousand households in Moxi, most of the Xiajiasi protect Li Guizhong, most of the Yili ten thousand households protect the servant Gu Fengde, most of the Naiman ten thousand households protect Aluoja, and Basimi personally guard the ten thousand households and most of the ten thousand guards Ashina Chu four people.

Leading ten thousand households to be brave young men and beautiful beauties, holding white oxtails and other tributes, they came to Zhang Ting and knelt down in front of him tremblingly, saying, "Forty thousand households in Moxi welcome you."

Zhang Tie accepted their tributes one by one with a smile. These young men were the sons or grandsons of the leaders of [-] households, and they came as hostages according to the customs of the grassland.

Those beauties will also serve as maids in the palace. After serving for five years, most of them will be returned to their original tribe.

And after they go back, as court ladies who have served the Supreme Heaven, their worth will naturally double, and they will basically marry leaders like Baihu and Qianhu of various ministries.

Then, 20 years later, their sons, as protons, will come to Zhang Zhou's court again and become the emperor's bodyguards, and their daughters will continue to come to the court as maids just like them.

This has been passed down from generation to generation, until all the prominent figures on the grassland are inextricably linked with the court of the Han Dynasty.

If we want to engage in ethnic integration and tie all ethnic groups together, I have to have a way.

Even Li Erfeng is not as proficient as Zhang Erfeng, because this is a method that has been continuously summed up for thousands of years.

Zhang Tie accepted their tribute, and then gave back a large amount of brocade, cloth, refined sugar, high-quality tea bricks and so on.

This kind of luxury, the more you give, the better, once they get used to it, they will never be able to live without it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Tie began to assign the Six Dharma Masters who had just served as a guide in front of his car to each department, and bestowed Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures.

Temples can only be established in places where Zhang Ting assigned great virtues and bestowed statues of Buddha.

Only people from these tribes can serve as monks and officials under the great virtues, such as mages, heads, capital monks, and monks.

After the four tribes in Moxi, there are three tribes in Monan (West), Zubu, Yejuza, and Dilie.

After that, there are [-] households from the three divisions of Menggu in Mobei - Tuzhala, Mierqi, and Orang Gaishiwei, and [-] households from the eight divisions of Upper and Lower Khitan.

The leaders of the 12 households were present one by one, but Zhang Ting only conferred Lu Sanlang as the chief protector of ten thousand households, and Yelu Sizhong as the chief protector of ten thousand households from the eight lower Khitan tribes. .

The meaning is obvious, before they prove their absolute loyalty, the positions of the chief guardians of these ten thousand households will still be vacant, and the vacant positions will naturally be coordinated by the Dharma monks who go to various ministries.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei held the most grand shooting ceremony and large-scale banquet beside Guiyi Bo.

Leaders from various ministries of the grasslands also jointly elected Zhang Ting as the common sweat of the people in Moxi, Monan, Mobei, and Songmo at this meeting - Tian Khan!
When the mud stick Yili Khan big banner symbolizing the Moxi grassland slowly fell, and the golden sun and moon with the golden fringe pattern on the silver and white sides and the swastika big banner rising in the Chinese style, Zhang Yu finally completed the most critical task. step.

For the first time, he brought all the ministries of the grassland almost completely under the control of the central court.

Although this is still a dual system empire of Han land and grassland, Zhang Zhou undoubtedly took a big step forward compared with the brutal killing of the Han and the pseudo-dual system empire of the Tang Dynasty.
