Chapter 1207: Mongolia
Chapter 1207 Mongolia
……
After comprehensive consideration, Liu Dong's plan is to find all the four most likely locations where Genghis Khan's tomb is located as speculated by the entire academic community, namely, the south of Mount Kent and the north of Klulun River in Mongolia, Mount Hangai in Mongolia, Liupan Mountain in Ningxia, China, and Qianli Mountain in Ordos in Inner Mongolia, China.
Of course, Liu Dong has limited time, and these mountains are hundreds of miles, even thousands of miles, if he wants to find them completely, even if he has the relics Yuanguang, it is impossible!
It is only possible to find a few special places where it is speculated that there may be the tomb of Genghis Khan. For example, the Qianligou of Or-Dos Qianli Mountain!
Because of the close relationship, Liu Dong did not take another plane, but said goodbye to Wang Hua and drove to Qianli Mountain alone.
However, it is a pity that although the scenery of Qianligou is extremely beautiful because of the high temperature and rainfall in summer, it does not have what Liu Dong wants.
After continuously fighting in the Alzhai Grottoes and Qianli Mountain, Liu Dong really couldn't muster the energy to go to Liupan Mountain again.
Moreover, Liupan Mountain was located in the territory of Western Xia at that time during the heyday of Mongolia hundreds of years ago, and it is unlikely that the Mongol nobles buried their leaders in the territory of the enemy country. Moreover, no remains of Genghis Khan's tomb have been found near Liupan Mountain, unless Liu Dong is willing to search the entire Liupan Mountain.
If he had time, he wouldn't mind doing so, but now that he didn't know when the crisis that Clark Ford had hinted about would break out, he really didn't have any more time to waste.
By contrast, he was willing to take the time to go to the more likely Hangai and Kent Mountains.
So, after leaving Qianli Mountain. Liu Dong crossed the Sino-Mongolian border from the town of Inner Mongolia Mandula. Drove into the vast Gobi Desert.
It's not that Liu Dong is unwilling to fly. In fact, except for Ulaanbaatar, which is the national capital, the western provinces of Mongolia that Liu Dong wants to go to have no airport at all.
After all, you can't expect to build an airport in a so-called city with a population of less than 20,000, even if it is the administrative center of a province!
After all, this is Mongolia, not the developed countries of the West, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Therefore, the only way Liu Dong can choose to travel is by car.
Fortunately, an off-road vehicle with a military vehicle pedigree like the Hummer is strong enough. It can also withstand bumps, even in rugged deserts, Gobi, grasslands, and even mountainous areas.
In nearly a week, I crossed thousands of kilometers of desert Gobi, crossed the Gobi Altai Mountains, and after arriving at Albaikhre, I drove all the way northwest along the Hangai Mountains, aiming at the birthplace of the Zabkhan River and the 'Bayan and Forest' in the southwest center of the Hangai Mountains!
Bayan and Lin, in Mongolian, means "place of wealth".
Before Genghis Khan Temujin unified Mongolia. Bayan and Lin used to be the administrative center of the five major tribes of Mongolia, the barbarian tribe, and the water and grass here were abundant. Herds of cattle and sheep.
For the Mongols, who live in pursuit of water and grass, this is the 'foundation for hegemony' in the struggle for the world! However, no matter how good the place is, the key to whether or not they can truly achieve hegemony in the end depends on the people. And the Naiban tribe is obviously not the real master of Bayan and Lin.
In 1206, after the Naiban tribe was conquered by Temujin, he built his second 'Dahanerdo' in the Mongolian steppe, in addition to the banks of the Krulun River, in the center of this Naiban tribe with abundant water and grass, that is, the Hanyi 'palace'!
It is also the political center of western Mongolia.
If Genghis Khan's tomb is in the Hangai Mountains, Liu Dong thinks that 'Bayan and Lin' is the most likely place.
"Made, finally see the yurt?"
Looking at the little white on the green grass in the distance, Liu Dong exhaled fiercely.
After a trip to Mongolia, Liu Dong finally knew what it meant to be vast and sparsely populated.
Mongolia covers an area of 1,566,500 square kilometers, and as the 17th largest country in the world, it has a population of less than 3 million, less than two people per square kilometer.
Moreover, the western, northern and central parts of Mongolia are mostly mountainous, the eastern part is hilly plains, and the southern part is the Gobi Desert. Therefore, the main places where the population is concentrated are the mountain valleys in the north, the hilly plains in the east, and the Gobi Desert in the south.
In fact, except for the fact that Liu Dong saw a little figure when he crossed the Gobi Altai Mountains to Bulgan and Albayhre, he usually saw a desert in addition to the desert, and the journey of hundreds of kilometers was full of yellow sand, or the uplifted earthy yellow barren mountains, and there was no trace of green at all.
If it weren't for Liu Dong's firm will, when he was bored in the middle, he would use the relics to find various underground mineral deposits to pass the time, he would have been driven crazy by this lifeless color.
"Bang......!"
Just as Liu Dong was about to step on the accelerator and drive towards the yurt in the distance, a sound like a 'cannon battle' suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he felt that the Humvee he was sitting in had lost its balance.
Fortunately, the bumps along the way honed Liu Dong's driving skills, and there was no one around. Therefore, Liu Dong quickly stopped the Humvee that almost overturned.
I opened the car door and came down, and as expected, the left front tire blew out!
This is the 8th tire he has blown along the way.
"It's over!"
After 'checking' the mustard seed space, Liu Dong had a wry smile on his face.
Now both the spare tires in the car and in the mustard space have been used up! He never thought that he had prepared 10 tires, and this Hummer had only used two after driving for more than two years, and this time he only came to Mongolia for one trip, and used up all the remaining eight?
"It is estimated that after this trip, if this car is not repaired, I am afraid it will be scrapped directly!"
Liu Dong shook his head, when he was halfway there, even if he often changed parts, the car also had occasional brake failures and intermittent engine stalls, and the more he went to the back, the more serious it became.
However, it is a miracle that this car has been able to hold on to the present, and Liu Dong doesn't expect too much!
"It's a mistake not to stock up on a few more cars in the mustard seed space, and this lesson must be remembered!" he admonished himself. Liu Dong opened the car door.
"Let's all come down, we're going to go down to the ground later!"
The moment Liu Dong opened the door. The lion's head and the tiger's head burst out at once. Then he ran like joy on the green meadow.
Obviously, like Liu Dong, they are fed up with the earthy yellow color that has no life.
However, although Wukong's temperament jumped out, it was not as crazy as the two Tibetan mastiffs, and he stood up on the roof of the car and pointed to the yurt in the distance, and after squeaking a few times, it fell on Liu Dong's left shoulder.
"Got it! We'll be over in a moment!"
After dealing with Wukong, Liu Dong opened the trunk of the car. Take out a large backpack from it and pack everything you might need for camping.
Then he took a picture of himself through the windshield, looking at the appearance of being covered in dust and mud and sand on his body and head, Liu Dong smiled bitterly: "Don't worry about goofs!"
Then, Liu Dong carried his backpack, tightened his belt, and put on gloves. Coupled with the quick-drying clothes, high-waisted hiking boots, and high-elastic canes that were originally worn on his body, the image of a traveler appeared properly on Liu Dong.
He nodded satisfactorily to himself in the windshield. With a wave of his hand, the Humvee, which had lost its left front wheel, was put into the mustard space and greeted the afternoon sun. Walk towards the white dots of light on the grassland in the distance!
"Tiger head, lion head, don't make trouble, let's go!"
Under Liu Dong's beckoning, two Tibetan mastiffs, which were as large as lions, faithfully guarded him.
……
Bayazaya had met many Chinese, especially when he was serving in troops near the Sino-Mongolian border. Remember that on weekends, small Chinese traders would appear outside the army camp, selling all sorts of things that were so precious and rare in the eyes of most Mongols, such as all kinds of vegetables and fruits, as well as snacks, game consoles, and other things that the Mongols could not produce themselves.
At that time, a lot of the allowance from being a soldier was used to spend on small Chinese businessmen.
In addition, there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese from China in Mongolia, and Bayazaya is also familiar with them.
However, whether they are Chinese or overseas Chinese, Bayazaya refers to them collectively as Chinese. But the person in front of him, who called himself a 'travel friend' and was heard by him as a 'tourist', was the first time Bayazaya had seen him.
This was the first time he had seen such a strange, or rather embarrassed Chinese.
He had the impression that the powerful Chinese in the south, who had ruled Mongolia and still ruled a part of their compatriots in the southern steppe, were wealthy!
But the Chinese in front of him seems to be poorer than him. However, the two dogs beside him were so powerful! like the Dharma Protector Beast that the Buddha sat down.
"Amitabha!"
The religious Bayazaya recited a few words in his heart before he said in Mongolian to the embarrassed young Chinese: "Go away, you are not welcome here!"
Liu Dong was not surprised by the hostility of the Mongol standing a few meters away from him in front of him.
Before coming to Mongolia, he had already collected a lot of information about the country.
In addition to the most important geographical knowledge and the content related to the treasure, the most recurring mention of those messages is the hostility of the Mongols to China in the south.
That's right, hostility!
Perhaps to many Chinese, the Mongols seem to have little reason to be hostile to the Chinese. Moreover, it is the Mongols who should be at fault, who betrayed the country 70 years ago.
It's a pity that the Mongols don't see it that way, they see the Chinese occupation of Inner Mongolia as the colonization and aggression of the Chinese Mongols!
They attributed the poverty of Mongolia to the shrewd, cunning, and treacherous Chinese merchants who bought their hard-harvested wool, beef, mutton, and milk at low prices, and shipped them to China for a high price!
They consider themselves to be the offspring of eagles and wolves, the people of the greatest khan of all time, Genghis Khan, the best warriors and hunters in the world. And the Chinese were afraid of them, built the Great Wall, and were farmers and cowards.
Warriors and hunters were born to rule over farmers and cowards, but the reality is that China, which was supposed to be subservient to the Mongols in the south, was countless times stronger and richer than the Mongols.
For reasons such as these, the Mongols have never had a good face towards the Chinese. Even without the Chinese, they will not be able to eat delicious vegetables, and they will even live even poorer.
But they never think about it.
Like those who are often hurt in love or marriage, there is no reason for love.
In the same way, hostility is often unjustifiable!
Look at North Korea, look at Vietnam, and then look at China's neighborhood, especially Southeast Asia, where China helps more, when they become stronger, the heavier the backlash against China will be.
Looking around China, all of them are anti-bone boys and Zhongshan wolves.
Along with the clans of Taiwan and Singapore, they often contradict China internationally. On the contrary, Pakistan, a large country in South Asia, is also a country that is not in the same way as Chinese culture, and is close to China. It's ironic!
