A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 157 Han-Hungarian Alliance, rewards

Hearing that Yan wanted to discuss state affairs with him.

Mo Dun asked unhappily: "You never discussed these things with me in the past, why did you think of discussing these things with me today?"

The Dalan clan said: "Because I am the Dalan clan of the Xiongnu and your Maodun clan. I must think about the Xiongnu country and you."

Modun asked curiously: "Isn't this what you said?"

Dalan said happily: "I learned this from a sister."

Modun stroked his beard and thought: "I have seen your sisters too. They are either people who use bows and arrows, or they are husbands and children. None of them know how to govern a country!"

"Not my sisters from the grassland, but the great queen of the Han people."

"The queen of the Han people? That is Liu Bang's Yan family. He is also in the mission?"

"No, it was Chen Ping, the deputy envoy of the mission, who came to talk to me on behalf of the Han queen."

"Oh?" Although Mao Dun was doubtful, but seeing that his Yan family finally had a head, he was also a little surprised and said: "Then tell me what benefits our alliance with the Han people will bring to us Xiongnu?"

The Dalan clan suddenly became serious and said: "First of all, the two countries are about the same strength. If you launch a war rashly, the losses will be considerable. At that time, other grassland tribes will definitely take advantage of it. Even if your direct troops are The loss is too great, and the three big tribes below, Huyan, Lan, and Xubu, may have thoughts that they shouldn't have."

Mao Dun nodded, thinking it made sense, and motioned for Yan to continue. Da Yan had never been so happy as she was today, and a feeling of scolding Fang Qiu rippled in her heart:
"Secondly, there are too many Han people and too few us Huns. If the stalemate continues for a long time, we Huns will definitely fail. If we form an alliance with the Han people and get material support from the Han people, we can feed more Huns. You can also open up more pastures to other places. In this way, the number of Huns will increase, the pastures will increase, and the strength of the Huns will also increase. By then, you will become the greatest chanyu among the Huns. You will definitely be accepted by Changshengtian!"

Mao Dun was very happy, and the Yan family continued: "Then there are benefits to us. You don't know something. Today Chen Ping of the Han people came to me and said that the Han people are willing to make peace with us. With the support of the Han people, how can other Xiongnu nobles shake you? and the position of the Great Chanyu after that, the position of such a Great Chanyu will be passed down forever to you and your descendants."

Mao Dun said: "The Han people are really willing to make peace with us Huns?"

Yan nodded and said: "Yes, and the Han people have many more craftsmen than we Huns. We can also take advantage of the marriage to ask for more craftsmen from the Han people as dowries. In this way, we Huns also have our own armor and stomach, right? ?”

Mao Dun was very happy to hear this, and saw that he was carrying the jewelry presented by the Han people. The charming Yan family looked like the Xiongnu slaughtering the Qi, and he was full of wits. He suddenly felt a fire in his belly, and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay. ! My beautiful Yan family can also replace me as the Great Chanyu of the Huns!"

Mr. Yan rolled his eyes at Maodun and said, "That's all nonsense!"

Maodun couldn't control it any longer, and suddenly he was like a tiger pouncing on its prey, which made Yanshi exclaim again and again. Soon, the temperature in the tent rose sharply, it was spring!
The next day

Modu had dark circles under his eyes, yawned, and leaned on the Shan Yu's seat as if he was overworked.

They were still the same people as yesterday. Su Li was about to argue with Mao Dun: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty can only come up with these things. If we add this to the list, we really can't accept it. It's really not possible." , you took away my head and asked the boss to put the overall situation first!"

"can!"

"Really not, ah, what?" Su Li subconsciously wanted to bargain, but heard that it was okay.

"I agree to your terms. Let's choose a date to sign the alliance, and Han and Hungary will be friends forever!" Mao Dun said domineeringly with dark circles under his eyes but a little sideways.

Su Li happily said: "Thank you very much, Chanyu. I guarantee that as long as the Han and Hungarian countries can live in peace with each other and communicate with each other, the lives of the people of the two countries will be better. As for the signing of the alliance, I have already calculated it. Today is an auspicious day. , can be signed immediately.”

After saying that, he asked his subordinates to take over the silk-woven covenant drawn up last night, fill in the number of gifts that had just been determined to be sent every year, make two copies, and hand it to Mo Dun.

Modun took it and saw that the red seal with "Treasure of the Han Emperor" written in small seal script had been stamped on it. Without thinking much, Modun took out his gold seal from his arms.

Put your mouth to the bottom of the golden seal, breathe out, let the red mud on it melt a little, put the two covenants on the table in front of you, click "Duang" and "Duang" twice, and the "Xiongnu Great Chanyu Seal" suddenly appeared. Next to the treasure of Emperor Han.

Someone put one away and handed the other to Su Li. Su Li opened it and checked it, and found that there was no problem. He bowed and said, "May the two countries form an alliance forever, and the friendship between Han and Hungary will last forever."

On the other side, Chen Ping and the equally lazy Dalan clan concluded a marriage contract and a covenant, which were stamped with the "Feng Xi of the Queen of the Han Dynasty" and the "Seal of the Xiongnu Dalan clan" respectively.

Chen Ping raised his hands and congratulated: "May Han and Hungary be united forever!" The Dalan family smiled, but they were too tired. Seeing this, Chen Ping took the covenant and marriage contract with him and left. This covenant represented Daqian. The covenant between the Chanyu clan and the Liu clan of the Han Dynasty stipulates that when each generation of the Chanyu clan's son reaches adulthood, the Han Dynasty will marry a princess, and the man's name on the marriage contract has already been written on it, and he is the legitimate son of the Dahan clan. The woman has not yet written it in. Chen Ping explained that Her Majesty the Queen has not yet finalized the decision.

However, the Dalan family didn't care. Anyway, no matter which one it was, as long as it was the princess of the Han Dynasty, the time was also set. As long as the princess arrived on time, it would be fine. Otherwise, don't blame the Xiongnu for launching another army to invade the south.

The Han Dynasty envoy returned to Baishan Mountain to report back to the Han Emperor. Looking at the two covenants and a marriage contract, the veins on the back of Han Emperor's hands popped out. He barely calmed down. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the people below, and his voice was calm and scary:

"Although Han and Hungary have formed an alliance now, we must not really regard them as allies. Remember that all Han people cannot forget this painful and humiliating day, and must wash away the shame of this time."

The generals below replied angrily: "I will obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"Wang Chong!"

"My servant is here!" This is the personal eunuch of the Han Emperor.

"Place these two covenants and this marriage contract in the newly built Ancestral Temple in Chang'an City, so that future emperors can see whoever helped me avenge today's revenge will take them down and place them in my Burn it in front of the mausoleum and report it to me."

"Promise!" Wang Chong carefully put it away. When he returned to Chang'an, he hung it high above the Ancestral Temple in accordance with the Han Emperor's request, so that every emperor who came in could see the two alliance letters and documents at the first glance. A marriage contract.

The Han-Hungarian alliance was established, and Mao Dun no longer surrounded Baishan Mountain tightly. He opened an opening in the direction of Pingyi. Soon the Han Emperor led the remaining 20,000 cavalry through this opening to attack the Han army in Pingyi. He camped and left this shameful place where the emperor of Han Dynasty and the co-lords of the Xia Dynasty were trapped for seven days, and thirty thousand soldiers died of cold and starvation.

February 27th
For the first time in the history of Zhuxia, the war between the Zhuxia civilization and the barbarian civilization ended with a total of more than 800,000 troops. It ended with the Zhuxia civilization being slightly defeated and the two parties signing an alliance.

The next day

More than 300,000 Huns cavalry broke out of camp and headed north.

March
The Xiongnu army left the Great Wall and returned to the Xiongnu territory. One hundred thousand Han troops stationed in Yanmen County and Dai County to clean up the mess and re-station the Great Wall. At the same time, the Han Emperor ordered to renovate the Great Wall, complete the unfinished sections of the Qin Great Wall, and repair the sections destroyed by the Huns. gap. A hundred thousand troops were left behind to station them at the border all year round. The rest of the army returned to the court.

March 29
The Han army that the Emperor of Han personally conquered returned to Chang'an, with 400,000 troops at the time of the expedition and 200,000 troops at the time of return.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an order prohibiting the dissemination of the true battle situation of this battle, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed. It was publicized that the Han army and the Xiongnu were in a draw and were in a stalemate.

April 10
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty rewarded the generals and talents with outstanding achievements in this war.

Bai Wei, the Marquis of Xiuwu, granted the title of 600 households, the Marquis of Quni, Chen Pingyuan, granted the title of 500 households, the Marquis of Ruyin, Xia Houying, granted the title of 500 households, the Marquis of Yingyin, Guanying, granted the title of 200 households, and the Marquis of Wuyang, Fan Kuai, granted the title of 200 households...

Among the doctors, Chunjun Liu Jing was granted the title of Marquis of Jianxin, with a settlement of 2,000 households; Su Li, a Dianke, was granted the title of Marquis of Jianwen, with a settlement of 2,300 households. Because of Bai Yu's merits and because he was the prince of Xiuwuhou, Four hundred households of Marquis Xiu Wu were granted again, and a total of one thousand households were granted. Originally, Marquis Xiu Wu's food town was 8,000 households, but now it has reached 9,000 households, leaving only 1,000 households of Marquis Xiu Wu.

At the same time, in order to defend the Northern Territory, Liu Zhong, the brother of the Han Emperor, was made the acting king and the capital of the county to guard against the Huns.

After the reward was completed, Bai Wei and Bai Yu returned to Chaoge with the remaining two thousand Bai's cavalry, leaving only an empty Xiuwu Hou Mansion in Chang'an City. At this time, the general layout of Chang'an City had been completed.

This place was originally the Xingle Palace in the Qin Dynasty. Chang'an is the name of the town. After deciding to move the capital to Guanzhong, Xiao He built the Changle Palace on the basis of the Xingle Palace. The next year, he built the Weiyang Palace to the west of the Changle Palace. After that, at the request of the Han Emperor, no more buildings were built, but around the two palaces, various princes and princes and kings continued to build their own mansions.

After the construction of Weiyang Palace, the Han Emperor decisively abandoned Changle Palace and moved to a new house in Weiyang Palace built entirely by himself. From then on, the administrative center of the Han Dynasty was fixed in Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are roughly rectangular in shape, with a passage in the middle. In the passage are Taicang and the arsenal built by Xiao He, as well as some garrison areas for the garrison. There is a pavilion above the passage connecting the two palaces, and the palace walls surround the two palaces. , and then another circle of walls surrounded the two palaces.

With the two palaces as the center, on the east side there are clusters of palaces belonging to the old ministers of the Bai clan or those of Xiang Yu who surrendered, as well as the former ministers of other failed princes and kings. To the west there are mostly clusters of palaces of the old ministers who followed the Han emperor. The number on both sides is about the same.

In the south, there are mostly clusters of the Lu family's princely mansions, such as the princely mansions of Lu Ze, the elder brother of the empress Lu Pheasant, and his old ministers. Because Lü Ze brought capital as a shareholder, many of the Han emperor's old ministers were under Lu Ze.

To the north are ordinary residential areas and markets. In the middle of these clusters of palaces and between the palaces, there are also scattered residential buildings, but most of them are the residences of minor officials with official positions.

Because it was a new city, Chang'an City did not have city walls. The only walls that existed were the palace walls and the courtyard walls of various princes' mansions.
