Broken wrist IV
Broken Wrist (4)
A few lines of geese fly under the dome-like sky in a zigzag line, slowly heading south.
The head of Liaoyang City, the symbol of the Great Yuan rule, was blown by the autumn wind. Several Mongol soldiers giggled and walked up to the city.
The city, which was once the eastern capital of Liao and Jin, is now full of wealth contributed by various tribes. Pearls, jade, agate, gold, the Immortal Heaven bestowed upon the bravest warriors of the Mongols so that they could enjoy these offerings on high above. Those Jurchens, Khitans, and tribes living in the grasslands and jungles further north, if they want to continue to see the sunset on the grassland, they have to pay the price for their lives, otherwise, the tribes that have disappeared outside the Seychelles will be a lesson for them.
The Mongols were not good at production, and since Genghis Khan, they have used plunder as a means of establishing a state, and most of the cities outside the Saiwai, whether they originally belonged to the Liao State, the Jin State or the Great Xia in the west, have become ruins. The rare exception is Liaoyang City, which was already a county capital in the Han Dynasty and was preserved by the mercy of Ögedai Khan. Because of the well-established defense facilities of the relatively strong city wall, it has become the seat of the current Dayuan on Tokyo Road.
The cannons erected high on the city wall, the rows of rolling logs and stones, and the nails that poke out half of their heads on the inside of the urn city and shine with cold light, all show that this is an important place for soldiers. It's just that the autumn colors like this mellow wine make people really can't mention the heart of killing.
Although the Liaodong Provincial Propaganda Envoy Korigis repeatedly stressed in the army that the owner of the Haraha River (present-day Harha River) and the owner of the vast land east of the Hara Wen Mountain, Naiyan, might rebel against him, so that the group could strengthen their defenses. But how credible is this? Everyone is Mongolian, and they are in the same breath with each other, so how can there be a reason for their own family to beat their own family. Besides, in terms of seniority, Lord Naiyan is the nephew of Kublai Khan, and he is a pure golden family. If it weren't for Naiyan's grandfather Tachar who took the lead in supporting him as the chief of the kings of the host country, Kublai Khan would not have been able to compete with Ali Buge. (Drunkard's note: Temuge was Temujin's younger brother and was most loved by Temujin.) Genghis Khan divided all the sons, and Temuge was the largest, and the pasture was the fattest. Nai Yan is the great-great-grandson of Temu Ge Chijin and the nephew of Kublai Khan. )
"The river of distress flowing with milk has moistened my pasture. Girl on the other side of the river, this autumn I will drive ninety-nine sheep close to your felt tent......" Paulus, the head of the sign (ten men long), opened his arms and shouted at the setting sun. In the boundless wilderness, the Mongolian long tune floated out of the distance until the green grass and sky were connected, and then dissolved into the twilight with the figure of the wild goose. (The River of Trouble, that is, the Sila Murong River, on the banks of which Genghis Khan was elected as the Khan of the Mongols under all the heavens).
"Ninety-nine sheep, rolling across the meadow like a white cloud. Thinking of your flowery smiling face, I want the horse to grow wings. I hope autumn will come soon, and I hope the grass will turn yellow as soon as possible......."
A few Mongolian soldiers beat the battlements and sang in harmony, and the Mongolian pastoral song has a long tune, just in time for the sky that is getting higher and higher this season. For a time, there were shepherds in and out of the city who sang and made harmony with each other. Men, women, the elderly, and children, either rough and heroic, or clear and soft, accompanied by the occasional chirping of geese drifting in the wind, as if someone was organizing a grand party in the wilderness.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please keep your eyes open. Once the city defense is lost, everyone can't escape the responsibility! At the base of the city wall, someone shouted uninterestingly, interrupting everyone's lingering about the autumn colors. With the sound of firm and powerful footsteps, a group of Han troops with bright armor walked up.
The team was led by thousands of households, silver helmets and iron armor, which were spotlessly clean. On the face of the incorruptible and bearded, there is an invisible majesty. As if he had a grudge against the excitement, he went up to the city wall, glanced around, and immediately, stuck all the singing in his throat.
"Which of you is the leader, don't you know that this is an extraordinary time, the Great Khan has an order, should you be cautious at all times?" Commander Liu Wenzhong had a calm face and asked coldly.
With the expansion of the war and the refuge of the generals of the new annexed army, the official hats of thousands and thousands of households flew all over the sky. Here, every official position is real, and as large as the official position leads the population of the household, and governs the corresponding area of land.
Although Liu Wenzhong is only a thousand-family household, his status is already higher than that of all the officers in the city. Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately suppressed a group of people. A few of the low-ranking Mongol officers who took the lead in singing turned blue and walked boredly towards the other section of the city wall.
"Phew, a Han man who climbed up by patting on the back, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at everyone!" Someone was disgruntled and scolded in a low voice.
"Forget it, people are not ordinary Han people. His uncle is Liu Bingzhong, the Great Khan's guard! An informed old centurion reminded in a low voice. Although Liu Wenzhong is a Han man, the backer behind him is really strong. His uncle, Liu Bingzhong, was once Kublai Khan's bodyguard, equivalent to the role of a clerk. This person is sleek and ruthless. Among the high-ranking officials of Mongolia and Han nationality, they are very open-minded. There is really no need to conflict with his descendants in order to sing a few words.
"It's not a scheming and harmful lackey, who can only pat on the back!" The persuaded person responded unconvinced, walked a dozen steps, turned back to the head of the sign in the procession and asked, "Paulus, you say, is there still a king in this world, and the donkey actually lectured to his master?" ”。
The city was empty, and the warrior's voice was deliberately raised very high, and almost word for word came to the ears of the Han army behind him. Commander Liu Wenzhong was so angry that his face turned pale, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife.
"Yonan, you can't talk like that, God says that before him, all beings are equal, all his blood sons and nephews, and they should treat each other as brothers!" Paulus, the head of the brand, replied in a long voice and jokingly, quoting the scriptures.
The Mongols rose too quickly and did not yet form their own unique culture. So the beliefs are very complicated, some people believe in Tibetan (Lamaism), some people believe in Taoism, and some people believe in Christianity. Because several of the right-hand men of the Great Khan of Ögedei were Nestorian (an ancient branch of Christianity), and the city of Liaoyang was preserved by the "Chrysostom" of Ögedai Khan, there were many Nestorian believers in the eastern Liaodong area. Not only the Mongols, but also the Jurchen tribes (the local tribes of Liaodong include but not only the Jurchen, Khitan, and Han Chinese, there are a large number of Christians. Among them, the pious even changed their Christian names. For example, Paulus, the head of the brand, and his warriors Yonan, Lu He, and others, if you pronounce them according to the priest, they are Paul, John, and Luke.
Under the influence of the teachings of benevolence and humility in the Nestorian religion, the temperament of the Mongol warriors in the Liaoyang area became kinder and more obedient than before. However, the exclusivity and interference in secular power of the Nestorian religion caused a deep estrangement between the Mongol warriors and the court officials who advocated Buddhism and Confucianism, Taoism and other religions.
Probably because of the excessive number of killings, the successive Mongol Great Khans themselves and those high-ranking officials around them were polytheists, and hoped that all the gods and Buddhas would bless them with good fortune over time. Above the Yuan Court, monks, Taoists, and Muslims who lost their possessions on the way to adventure, fake Western missionaries, and Muslims who amassed wealth under the banner of Allah, grabbed a handful.
The two advisers under the command of Ögedai Khan were both devout Christians. Kublai Khan himself decreed that all religions, as long as they were for the protection of the Mongols, could be freely spread within the Great Yuan Dynasty.
However, among the rulers with Kublai Khan as the core, among the various schools of Dharma, the first thing to recommend is Buddhism. For them, who are prone to murder and slaughter cities, the phrase 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot' is the most suitable for their personal experience and the most attractive. Therefore, after allowing the teachings of the various sects to spread freely, Kublai Khan also added, "The Dharma is the palm of the hand, while the other teachings are the five fingers." Although the role of the finger is large, it is not as decisive as the palm! ”
In order to vote for the favor of the Great Khan, the court officials and the feudal officials began to follow the Buddhism, holding a knife in one hand and a dervish in the other. The more astute ones, such as Boyan and Hututmur, studied science in addition to Buddhism, which taught people how to be more loyal to the emperor.
Liaodong Provincial Propaganda Envoy Kuo Li Jisi and Liu Wenzhong, who had thousands of households in the Han army, were both well-known laymen. However, the Nestorian religion told the local Mongols in Liaodong that God was the only god in the world. This makes it difficult for them to live peacefully with each other, and sometimes even deliberately competes with each other.
Trouble with Korigis, an authentic Mongol, the junior officer did not dare. But looking for the trouble of Liu Wenzhong, a Han man, there are brave people who are not tired of it.
But God didn't say whether we should fulfill those who were willing to be slaves. I remember some people doing things for the Great Khan, quite big men, but calling themselves slaves! The pawn who is called Yonan is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the words are sharpened like a knife, and every sentence pokes at the sore spot of Liu Wenzhong in the thousands of households.
In order to show their deference and intimacy to the Great Khan, the Confucian scholars who took refuge under the banner of the Mongol Great Khan, represented by Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian and other great Confucians, often referred to themselves as slaves and maids when talking to the emperor. This appellation with a strong feminine softness helped them quickly establish themselves in the vicinity of several generations of Great Khans. So that their descendants and the descendants of the "Four Heroes", "Four Dogs" and other heroes are on the same rank, with hereditary positions of thousands of households and hundreds of households, and have absolute domination and control over the ordinary herdsmen-born Harachu and prisoner-of-war prisoners. However, the Halachu and the Porcules, who were in a subordinate position, had no respect for their Han masters. In their eyes, although they were from a humble background, they were a branch of the Mongols. However, a thousand households like Liu Wenzhong are Han people, Han people who are conquered but proud of being conquered, and there is no blood in their bones.
Listening to the unbridled ridicule of the Mongolian warriors, Liu Wenzhong's hand holding the knife slowly turned snow-white, and green tendons stretched out from the back of his hand. At this moment, he couldn't wait to take out his knife and correct the few Mongolian pawns in front of him on the spot, as a middle-level general responsible for the safety of the city, he had this power. However, he had to think about what would happen after a quick moment, most of the defenders of Liaoyang City were Mongols, and those Mongol generals of the same rank or higher than him would not believe in his reason for killing. In most cases, their identification with the bloodline is far higher than their adherence to the principles and duties. If there is a conflict between the Mongolian generals and the Han generals in Liaoyang City, once there is a conflict, all the Mongolian generals will form a group regardless of faction to suppress the Han generals.
Once this opportunity is taken advantage of by the conspirators, Liaoyang is in danger. Once Liaoyang is lost due to the discord between the Mongolian and Han generals, the family behind the Han generals will be hit.
With a long sigh, Liu Wenzhong let go of the hand of the lying knife and slammed his palm on the battlements. The battlements made of blue bricks were slapped with a muffled sound, and half of the corner was lost. The rough broken brick touched the palm of his hand, and the tingling sensation came clearly, waking up nerves that were almost scorched with anger.
"Wait, wait, wait for your grandfather to find an opportunity on the battlefield one day and put you in military law!" Liu Wen scolded secretly in the center. Although he also understands that such opportunities are hard to find. Although those Mongol warriors were usually negligent and careless, most of them were hard characters who would rather die on the battlefield.
As if echoing his expectations, a pale yellow smoke cloud drifted in the distance under the sunset on the tip of the grass. Thousands of unknown wild birds flew through the sky with their screams, their dense wings cutting off half of the sky.
"Enemy attack, hurry up to the city, close the door and lock it!" Liu Wenzhong drew his saber and shouted hoarsely.
Several Mongolian warriors who deliberately used words to ridicule Liu Wenzhong were taken aback and quickly pounced on the battlement. Everyone is a person who has experienced the battlefield, and they can judge the arrival of the enemy army without sticking their heads against the brick wall.
The soot, the yellow soot, is getting thicker. From the northwest to the southeast, with the faint sound of wind and thunder. Everywhere I passed, there was a desolation.
It was a murderous aura that could only be emitted by thousands of troops, and several Mongolian warriors heard their teeth rattle softly. Fang wanted to scold a few words to give himself a strong military might, and at sunset, a wool pole picked out the horizon.
With a blue background, there is no tassel as a decoration on the Mongolian battle flag. There are no birds and beasts to complement it, and a white cross is drawn in the middle of the pure flag.
Symbolizes the cross to which Christ calls.
The sun dimmed suddenly, but the autumn wind instantly became stronger, whirring, blowing the flag hunting on the head.
