Chapter 5 The Wind on the Grassland
For the Mongolians, women are important property and the most important link between men.
For example, Temujin’s mother, such as Mrs. Shunyi.
A man who relied on many marriages finally made Temujin a noble among the Mongols.
The other got married at the age of eight and was married to four generations of Mongolian princes throughout her life, allowing this woman to hold power in Shunyi City for forty years.
In the Han Dynasty, such behavior must be criticized, but on the Mongolian steppes, it is a way of life.
Without a strong man, a single woman cannot survive independently on this dangerous grassland.
On the grassland, every man has the obligation to raise his deceased father, brother, nephew, and even the wife and children of his tribe.
This is only related to the development, reproduction and growth of the ethnic group, and has nothing to do with female sex.
Therefore, it is not a big problem for Lakshen’s daughter to be the patriarch. All she needs to do is find a suitable husband for her. Whether it is Sulitai or Yun Yang himself, there is no problem. Yun Zhao just wants Duo. The dominance of the Yan tribe.
In fact, there is not much left in the Duoyan tribe. There are only a hundred old and weak women and children, plus thirty or forty young and strong people, less than a hundred cattle, and only a thousand sheep. , the horses are only fifty, and even the surrounding tribes have no intention of engulfing them. After such a tribe is engulfed, not only will the tribe's property not increase, but it will be a lot of burden.
Logically speaking, there is no need for the Duoyan tribe to exist, just because other tribes are afraid of being beaten by the Jianzhou people and are unwilling to cause trouble. Otherwise, a team of a hundred cavalry can destroy this tribe. tribe.
Mongolians have a hearty and enthusiastic personality. After drinking, Mongolians are as courageous as the sky. At this time, their favorite thing to do is - happy grudges!
While Yun Zhao was hiding in the carriage to check and correct the map, he suddenly heard a noise.
Lakshen, who had a knife stuck in his neck, hurriedly ran out of the yurt, and blood spurted out from his neck as he ran. He didn’t shout for help, but jumped on a war horse quickly. Like running deep into the grassland.
Laheqi, who was covered in blood, also caught up from behind. He also didn't say much, jumped on a war horse, and chased the fleeing Lakshan.
Except for a very young and thin girl who burst into tears in the direction where Lakshen ran away, the people in the tribe only hesitated and looked for a while in the direction where the two ran away. Just keep doing your own thing.
Including Lakshen’s wives and concubines.
Yun Zhao saw this scene clearly. This scene reminded him of the lions on the African savanna. Whenever the male lions started to fight, the female lions always behaved extremely. Quiet.
At this time, they never participate in the battle.
Lakshan’s injury was not very serious. Judging from his strong body shape,It seems that the knife only caused him to bleed some.
This is a chase battle. Judging from the Mongolians' fierce fighting power, there is no way they can end the battle in a short time.
"Laheqi really went to kill Lakshen. He actually didn't wait for a moment and even saved the effort of planning."
Shopkeeper Yun clicked his tongue on the side.
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "This is the reason why the Mongols rose, and it is also the lesson why the Mongols declined.
They like to do things with passion. Once the Mongols When the wind on the plateau is against him, he will be brilliant. Once the wind on the Mongolian grassland is against him, he will be completely defeated.
So, the Mongolians like to play with "the right time" and at most the "right location". "They can't do things like "human harmony", especially for us Central Plains people.
When everyone starts to hate them, they have already allowed themselves to live a life of luxury and luxury because of robbery. The Mongols have lost even their initial toughness, and their defeat is inevitable.
The Mongols still live in the glory of the golden family, but they don’t know how to recreate the golden age.
p>
While discarding the spirit of the golden family, they complained about why they were not born in the golden age.
Such people have no lofty goals, no long-term plans, have high ambitions and low ambitions, and are arrogant. Big, only suitable to be cannon fodder for the strong."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he closed the car window, lay down on the brocade couch again, and continued to study the newly made map.
Shopkeeper Yun couldn’t understand this call.
However, this did not prevent him from writing this sentence down and preparing to show it to his son who was studying at Yushan Academy after returning to Xi'an. It didn't matter whether he understood it or not, his son must understand it.
The Kru tribe is only three hundred miles away from the Duoyan tribe. Yun Zhao highlighted it on the map. In fact, he was not paying attention to the Kru tribe, but the area next to the Kru tribe— —Guihua City!
This city was built by Altan Khan and his wife Sanniangzi who spent a lot of manpower and material resources here. The city wall is made of blue bricks, and it looks green from a distance, hence the name "Qingcheng". It comes from this, and the Ming Dynasty people like to call it "naturalization" according to the emperor's will.
Of course, Yun Zhao knew more about the city later. In his time, the city was called "Hohhot".
Although the city had been destroyed by Dorgon when he was chasing Lin Dan Khan the year before last, Yun Zhao wanted to rebuild the city.
After five years of development, the increasingly large Yun family can no longer be accommodated in the small Lantian County. Nowadays, there is an urgent need for a place that can accommodate the huge Yun family.
This is impossible in the Ming Dynasty. If Yun Zhao raised the banner of uprising, Yun Zhao was almost certain that the emperor, who was extremely sensitive to internal nerves, would be the first to deal with the Yun family instead of annihilating them. The affairs of Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, Cao Cao and others were given top priority.
Anyone who has read some history books knows that most peasant uprisings do not last long, and it is often the gentry who achieve final victory. Although there are examples like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang in the past, they are still a very small minority in the long history.
In addition, Yun Zhao had no interest in harming his own people, and deeply hated the dog-eat-dog war between the Ming Dynasty and the rogue bandits.
If the Yun family joins this war, this country will only be beaten worse. It will be easier for slaves to enter this country, and the people on this land will suffer more. .
So, he thought that Guihua City was a good place to stay.
Now Huang Taiji is encouraging wars among the Mongolian tribes. Before he has consolidated the resources of the entire Liaodong and North Korea, he hopes that the Mongolian tribes on the grasslands will fight with each other, leaving him with sufficient resources. Time, come and eat away slowly.
So, Yunzhao wanted to use the Battle Merlin to start a war on the grassland and put all the Mongolian princes in danger. Then he used the Duoyan tribe as a disguise to invade Guihua City, with Yinshan Mountain as his back. Based on the Yinshan Plain, use the fastest speed to accumulate strength, and have a hearty battle with the Jianzhou people less than a thousand miles away!
This is what Yun Zhao really wants to do. No matter whether this battle is a victory or a failure, as long as he can bite a piece of meat from Jian Nu, Yun Zhao will think that he has completed it. mission.
You can give an explanation to yourself, or you can give an explanation to the Yun family you inherited. As long as you do this, even if you go to heaven in the future and meet the Yun family ancestors, you will be able to take photos openly and honestly. He held his chest and said: "It is your glory to have descendants like me!"
Yun Zhao waited until dusk, neither Lak Shen nor La Heqi came back. If there is still no one before dawn, When you come back, a new leader will be elected in the tribe.
Yun Zhao had no time to wait for these two people to come back, because he knew that neither of them could come back, and dying together was their final destination.
Two days later, Yun Zhao came to a tree.
This place is easy to find. As long as you find a hill, you can see a lonely big tree in the valley.
Oddly enough, there is gurgling water here, but there is only one tree.
There was no one under the tree.
So Yun Zhao asked his guards to bring a deck chair, and he lay down under the tree by himself, reading and drinking tea.
The personal guards were lying in ambush all around, standing guard for him. As a result, there was only a piece of sky and a piece of land left in the whole world. There was a tree on the ground, and under the tree lay a young man in green, leisurely. Read a book, drink tea, and listen to the sounds of nature.
He seemed to have become the master of this land.
