Chapter 80: King Bian's Road
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere heated up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ba Riben introduced his sons, as well as the bravest warriors in the department, and his most effective generals. They also met Burigede's mother, Tana, the wife of Bariben. Tana personally stepped forward to pour wine for her benefactor, and each of them bowed before retreating.
In the conversation, I learned that the Borqin tribe is the second largest tribe in Bianguo, with strong soldiers and horses, countless cattle and sheep, and the people in the tribe are good at riding and shooting regardless of gender, and the water and grass in this territory are abundant, and the people of the tribe live quite happily.
"I'll take the liberty of asking. The territory of Bianguo is so vast, and there are so many tribes of all sizes. Many of them had an army stronger than the king's army, so how could Namut Khan of Bianguo get so many tribes to obey him and respect him as the king of the Khan? Zhan Ying asked.
When Ba Riben heard Zhan Ying ask this, his face gradually became gloomy: "Hmph, they are all some unsightly methods, otherwise how would we be willing to respect him as Khan." He drank a bowl of wine and said, "As soon as a tribe has elected a leader, or succeeded him, Namut appointed a new leader to take a relative hostage. He designates and is usually the person closest to the new chief. Parents, siblings, sons or daughters are the closest family members. ”
After hearing this, Zhan Ying was extremely angry, and asked loudly, "What if you don't obey?" There are so many tribes on the steppe, and none of them have resisted? ”
Ba Riben was hesitant and continued: "Although there are many tribes on the grassland, each tribe has its own plans. The position of each tribe is different, since there is a khan, which tribe is assigned to which steppe, how much land is occupied, whether there is a water source, whether the land is fertile, all in the hands of the khan. And these directly determine whether a tribe is strong or not. ”
In this way, they understand. If you are close to the Khan of Bianguo and support him, you will be able to obtain a rich and large territory; Those who do not support him, or are unwilling to send proton watches to be loyal, do not need to be dispatched by the king, and the coveting of other tribes alone is enough to make this tribe be divided up in a few days.
This was the royal way of the Bianguo Khan, who was able to sit firmly on the throne by using the tribes to contain each other.
"This is not the real royal road, the tribes are not united because of unity, but are forced to be subject to the Khan King helplessly." Zhan Ying said.
"So when you encounter a war with another country, how do you send troops?"
"The king's division is easy not to move, the Khan has a military talisman as a letter, and the soldiers of our tribes can listen to the Khan's dispatch at any time. And the generals in battle were appointed by the imperial court. Ba Riben said.
Zhan Ying only thought about it for a while, this is the biggest weakness of the Bianguo army, soldiers are not trained by wartime generals in peacetime, and it will inevitably be difficult to cooperate in battle. She just thought about it, and there were more important things for her to investigate.
"Namhan, the national teacher of your country, has a name similar to the current Khan, could it be that he is a brother?" Before Zhan Ying could speak, Jing Shang had already asked for her.
"Hmph, that old vulture!" Ba Riben looked contemptuous and disdainful: "He was not from Bianguo, and no one knew what his original name was, but later he was favored and reused by King Khan, and was given the name Namhan." Since he became the national teacher, our Bianguo has had countless foreign wars over the years, so the warriors in my tribe have sacrificed a lot. ”
