Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1367 Knight Collar

"Wait for the time."

The vicissitudes of life of the Bodhisattva no longer had the warm smile he had when facing Qin officials.

Why didn't he want to dominate Mobei, and why didn't he want to replace the Xueyantuo Khanate with the Huihe Khanate and become the grassland overlord like the Huns and Turks back then.

It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time. Luo Cheng rose up in the Central Plains and bullied the grassland. Many heroes such as Shibi, Xieli, and Shekui fell under Luo Cheng's iron cavalry.

Ni Lu wanted to resist, but in the end he didn't even raise a bubble.

Knowing that he is invincible and fighting against the enemy, although his courage is commendable, the Bodhisattva does not want to do such a stupid thing, he does not want to be second to mud.

If you can't resist, then obey.Of course, he did not give up resistance, but temporarily buried it in the bottom of his heart, patiently lurking, waiting for an opportunity.

In his opinion, if he wanted Huihe to become the master of the grassland again, there was only one possibility, and that was that the Qin people in the Central Plains were in chaos.

But now it seems that the Central Plains is in full swing, and it doesn't look like there will be chaos.

Then you can only bury your own thoughts deeper.

"Let's go, while the weather is fine, let's hunt some more deer. Tonight we have to hold a banquet to treat the officials who are about to go to our tribe."

"There is no place for us." The son of the Bodhisattva said angrily.

"You, when will you be able to learn from your elder brother? Tumidu has been in the Central Plains for two years, and he has never complained about anything. He is just working hard to learn the strengths of the Han people in the Central Plains."

Bodhisattva is proficient in riding and shooting. After running around the grassland, he hunted several plump deer, gazelle, wild camel, wild duck and so on.

Back at the Yudu mountain city camp that was still under construction, the Bodhisattva personally cut off the tongue and hump of the deer, and grilled delicious food for Wang Juncheng and other officials who were about to go to the vast sea.

"I didn't expect the county magistrate to have such great culinary skills. It's really amazing." Wang Juncheng is a white and fat civil servant. He was in his early fifties. He was originally a county magistrate in the Central Plains. It is a good thing to be promoted, but he still hesitates to come to Mobei to become the magistrate.

But the king's order was hard to disobey, so I had to bite the bullet and come. I didn't expect that the journey would go smoothly. There were caravans following along the way, guarded by government soldiers, and I didn't suffer much. Instead, I saw a lot of grassland customs.

It is said that Bodhisattva is a ruthless person, but now seeing how Bodhisattva hunted deer and birds for them, roasted them himself, and saw his enthusiastic and straightforward smile, Lao Wang felt that his previous worries were a little unnecessary.

I hope things will go well in Hanhai County in the future. As long as there are no troubles, I can work for three years with peace of mind and then transfer back to the Central Plains. I am satisfied even if it is a flat job.

"Men on the prairie know some rough craftsmanship. There is no exquisite food here. Exquisite tableware are all freshly made birds and beasts. There is no exquisite cooking method, just simple roasting. I hope you don't like it." dislike."

Wang Juncheng took a sip and found that it was surprisingly delicious. At first, he thought that this roast with a little salt would be very fishy and woody.

Liu Duwei, who was born as a military general, was bold on the surface, but careful in secret. He had been secretly looking at the Bodhisattva, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this guy was not simple.

Someone who used to be a profuse sweater, but now he hunts deer and barbecues for them himself, is definitely a ruthless person who can bend and stretch.

"Your Majesty, from now on, we will all rely on you. In Hanhai County, it is all your territory."

Bodhisattva smiled and handed Liu Duwei a piece of roasted wild camel hump, "I dare not say that, Hanhai County is the territory of the imperial court, and I am the same as you, just a herdsman official appointed by the imperial court."

"That's different. We are just officials, and the Duke is a feudal prince. You not only have the title of Duke, but also the territory."

Speaking of the territory, an imperceptible dissatisfaction flashed in the Bodhisattva's eyes.

Thinking of him as a Bodhisattva, he was originally the leader of the Weihe tribe. After uniting with Pugu and other tribes, he formed the Huihe Alliance and became the Great Khan of Huihe. The entire east of Mobei was his territory.

But now, the emperor granted him the title of duke of a county, and then allocated him a piece of land, but it turned out to be only a small piece of grassland and mountains, no more than a hundred miles away.

The emperor conferred titles and lands on the leaders of the various tribes in Mobei.

In addition to the chiefs of the twelve tribes, there are titles and fiefs, and the leaders of the tribes under each tribe also have titles and fiefs.In the name of rewards, the emperor granted the titles of dukes, uncles, and barons to the leaders of various tribes and tribes, and also granted titles to the brothers and nephews of the leaders, conferring a lot of titles of knights.

Each knight has drawn a piece of land, although it is not too big, but it can also enclose a pasture.

Originally, this was considered a good thing, but the problem is that whether these knights or those princes and uncles, their fiefdoms were drawn directly by the emperor on the original territories of the various ministries.

Moreover, these fiefdoms are called fiefs by the princes and knights, and the knights are called the knights by the knights.

He is a dignified leader of Huihe. According to the edicts of the imperial court, what he can really fully control is his own fiefdom, a grassland and forest of about a hundred miles, and other places are all managed by the imperial court Hanhai county government, or It is the fiefdom of other princes and knights.

On the surface, these feudal lords and knights are all the nobles of their Huihe, but now that the land is divided, who will obey the leaders of the Huihe in the future?Even if the leader of Huihe can inherit the title of duke of this county in the future, or the title of prefect, it is estimated that he will not be able to command other clansmen.

What's more, the title and fief were not given for nothing.

Each piece of land has corresponding obligations, the most important obligation is to send the daughter to the Central Plains to choose a marriage, and send the son to the Central Plains to serve as a soldier.The children of great princes may enter the palace as bodyguards, but the children of general feudal lords or knights may have to go to frontier places such as Anxi or Linyi to guard the frontier and fight.

In addition, these feudal lords and knights had to pay tribute to the court, which was tantamount to paying taxes to the emperor.

The imperial court abolished their original titles such as Khan and Qijin, and awarded them titles and titles such as Gonghou Bonan and Knight of Daqin, and granted them the official positions of prefect and county magistrate.

Many tribal leaders are very satisfied with the conferment of the emperor, and even some concubine children who could not inherit the family business can also be granted titles. very satisfied.

But the Bodhisattva is very angry with this system, but he can't do anything about it. Now when he hears Liu Duwei and the others talk about this matter, he can only smirk on his face.

"Your Majesty, when we get to Hanhai, I ask you to mobilize manpower as soon as possible to build Hanhai City. Otherwise, the two thousand Great Qin soldiers under my command will have no city to stay in."

"Lieutenant Liu, please don't worry, I have sent people back to send an order to recruit herdsmen to start site selection and preparation, and start construction as soon as it is ready. I guarantee that a Hanhai City will be built soon, and it will definitely not lose to this Yudu Mountain City!"

The Bodhisattva said with a smile, before he has enough strength to resist Daqin, he will continue to laugh like this.If he has never had enough strength, then even if he dies in this life, he will not turn his face.

"Mr. Jun, come, let me offer you a toast. Please take care of me from now on." Liu Duwei poured a glass of wine for Bodhisattva with a smile, and passed the glass over.

The Bodhisattva stretched out his hands, took the wine glass respectfully, and drank it in one gulp, very freely and happily.
