Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 539: Picking Flowers to Pay Respect to Qiu Yu (Part )
Mamadale Ubas successfully completed his mission and returned to the guard camp with Zhongyuzi Balanduhan and six thousand warriors of the Karaganda clan of the Naiman tribe. In the sweat tent, Lotus Khan Sultan was very happy. They captured Karaganda, the core of Zhongyuzi, without spending a single soldier, and also got 6,000 vassal troops who could be used as cannon fodder. Is there any reason to be unhappy?

In order to sell horse bones for a thousand gold, he encouraged the leaders, elders, and baturus of various Kazakh tribes to submit to David. He conferred the title of Balandu as the third-class Karagandabo, and held a grand banquet for him and some tribes who surrendered. leader. While recruiting the city of Karaganda, he also sent messengers to the tribes and clans of Dayuzi and Zhongyuzi. The big stick plus Huairou achieved some results, and thousands of soldiers and horses were obtained from other Kazakh tribes and clans that submitted.

He ordered the surrendered generals Uluk, Balandu, and Justen to lead 30,000 surrendered troops as the vanguard, and he led an army of more than 60,000 as the backing, sharpening his sword and heading for the city of Turkestan. Considering that the soldiers were tired from the long battle, Lotus Khan ordered to rest for five days before setting off again.

"Great Khan, Vice-President Hu is here." Sultan was busy with the expedition, and his bodyguard came to report.

"Haha, Hu Qing, Hu Qing, I guess you must be here because of the Turan tiger head incident," Suletan said to himself proudly, as if everything was under control, and said calmly, "Let him in. ".

Hu Lianqi walked into the big tent, still wearing a Confucian shirt and having the air of a proud prince.

Sultan curled his lips and asked with great interest: "What brings Hu Qing here?"

"Does Your Majesty want Kazakhstan to have long-term peace and stability and become David's unbreakable fortress in the northwest, or do you just want to use force for a while and rule Kazakhstan with military power for a few years or decades?" Hu Liangqi still has the same character, and he said no at the beginning. Endearing truth.

"Of course I want long-term peace and stability and let Kazakhstan become an inseparable part of David," Sultan smiled.

"In this case, please bury Yangir Khan generously to win the hearts of the Kazakh people," Hu Lianqi stepped forward and requested.

"Haha, Hu Qing, Hu Qing, you and I are together again. Yang Gil Khan is a hero in the hearts of the Kazakhs. The people here love him and call him 'The Mighty Yang Gil Khan', 'The King of Turan' King', in this case, in order to win over the hearts of the Kazakh people, a rich burial is not enough. I decided to rename the city of Sau where he died in the battle as 'Yangir Khan City', and mobilize the people of the whole city to attend his funeral. The ceremony will be held by "You preside over it." Suletan thought for a while and suddenly said: "I plan to write the memorial text myself, and then pick some chrysanthemums with my own hands and make a wreath as a memorial to Yang Gil Khan."

"You want to pick chrysanthemums and make a wreath to commemorate Yangjier Khan?" Hu Lianqi was stunned by Emperor Qianyuan's whims.

It is not a Chinese tradition to use wreaths to pay homage, but was introduced from the West. At this time, this practice did not exist at all. Chrysanthemum has two meanings in traditional Chinese culture: one is noble integrity, and the other is good luck and longevity. Using chrysanthemums to pay homage to the deceased was not popular in this era.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be no precedent for using chrysanthemums to pay homage to the deceased. As for the wreath, I am ignorant and don't know what it is." Hu Lianqi looked puzzled.

"Hu Qing, you are good at everything, but you are too old-fashioned and don't know how to adapt. There is no precedent? It starts with me, right?" Suletan suppressed his unhappiness, followed the instructions, and taught earnestly, "This chrysanthemum, Blooming in the frost and not falling in the west wind is his pride; "there will be no more flowers after this flower has bloomed" is his magnanimity. Isn't the noble character of perseverance and unyielding the portrayal of Yang Gilhan's life? Moreover, its color is low, easy to It makes people feel sad, so it is most appropriate to use chrysanthemums to express my grief for Yangir Khan. As for the wreath, its shape is a circle, symbolizing that people have returned to the starting point from birth to death; also, my age The name is Qianyuan, 'Great Qianyuan, the beginning of all things, and the unification of heaven'. The circle represents the beginning of the universe, the beginning of heaven, represents 'Qianyuan', and represents me. Therefore, I decided to make it with chrysanthemums. Wreaths were laid in memory of Yangir Khan”. Hu Lianqi took a deep breath after hearing this. He was worthy of being a prodigy of a powerful generation, who could actually come up with such a wonderful idea! He said with sincerity: "Your Majesty's meaning could not be more wonderful. I am sincerely convinced."

Seeing that Hu Yushi was finally shaken, the Great Khan of Lotus was very proud and ordered his guards to prepare. Although he claimed to personally pick chrysanthemums and make a wreath to commemorate Yangir Khan, that was just a casual talk. The Great Khan has so many things to do all day long, he has no time to do such small things, so naturally his guards will do it for him.

However, there are not many chrysanthemums in the local area. The guards were busy for a long time before they found some Tianshan wheat straw chrysanthemums and completed the mission assigned by the Great Khan.

The same is true for the sacrificial text. It was said that he wanted to write the sacrificial text for Yang Gilhan himself, but in the end, Hu Lianqi was asked to do it for him. Hu Yushi was a kind man, and he wrote it conscientiously and took a whole night to finish it.

"Inscriptions on the Sacrifice of Yangir Khan"

In the winter of Xinmao (1651) of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Yangjier Khan was buried in Kalatao Mountain in the north of Sawu, and he paid tribute with the following inscription:
Alas! The one who dominates the grassland and looks down on the heroes is a Gong; the one who sacrifices his life for righteousness and takes advantage of his energy to take life lightly is a Gong; the one who bravely leads the three armies and swallows the rainbow with anger is a Gong; the person who shines with the sun and the moon and changes the color of the mountains and rivers is a Gong! Xiang Yu and Lu Bu's bravery could not turn the tide; Zhang Liang and Zhuge's wisdom were trapped under the city of Sawu. Time is also fate!

Alas, Yang Jier was a little inferior in Yuliang's battle; Yang Jier was magnificent, he was born to be a genius, but not a star. The Duke's military courage is like the wind and thunder; the Duke's strategy is as high as the mountains and the deep as the water; the Duke's benevolence and righteousness is spread by everyone; the Duke's integrity is like the cedars, frost and cypresses.

Sad husband! Why am I unlucky enough to meet a duke? Heroes kill each other, but I just sigh; how lucky am I to meet a duke? We can share wine glasses in the mountains and rivers. Paper ashes are flying, the wind is strong, the moon is full tonight, the stars are changing, if there is light in it, is it unfair? Ambition and high ambitions are all paid in loess, and we prepare sacrifices to offer sacrifices to our close friends. Alas! Shangxiao.

After the memorial text was written, the shameless Lotus Khan immediately plagiarized it for his own and held a grand funeral for his old rival Yangir Khan on the nameless peak of Karatau Mountain north of Sau city.

Originally, only the people near Sau City were notified, but when the funeral was held, Kangli, Wusun, Dulat, Kolayir, Alban, Suwan, Sirgeli, Isti, and Ushakti After hearing the news, people from various tribes including Xiaprasiti, Hatagan, Kelei, Naiman, Arhun, Qinchak, and Wak rushed over on fast horses. There were actually more than 100,000 people to see him off.

Suletan was secretly frightened. He didn't expect Yang Gilhan to be so popular among the people. It seemed that he had made the right move by giving him a grand burial! Thinking of this festival, he performed exaggeratedly, personally laid a wreath on the coffin of the King of Turan, personally read the "Inscriptions on Tribute to Yangir Khan", and even fainted several times because of his excessive grief.
