Chapter 486: Lin Dan Khan? Cold or hot?
Purging dissidents is not a stunt in the struggle of the civilian clique. Since ancient times, the internal struggle of the Chinese general group has been far more barbaric and ferocious than that of the civilian clique. It's just that the recorder of history is not the one who holds the sword, gun and sword, so it is difficult for us to see the tragedy.
But the facts are there, and they don't change in the slightest because you open your eyes or don't open them. Even staunch proponents of quantum theory do not necessarily believe that subjective feelings have the power to alter objective existence. For ordinary people, this is even more unacceptable. Close your eyes and the moon is gone, something like this has been used more than once to slap those supporters of quantum theory in the face.
Even if we do not see the brutality of the struggle within the military generals' clique, we should not underestimate the ability of the generals in their political dumping activities. What's more, in the small ** that has just passed, the leader of the military general group that launched the attack has a clear moral advantage. For the civil bureaucracy, although the confrontation with the monarchy has always been their historical mission, it always needs to be carried out implicitly. Because the respect for the emperor is in line with their logic of stabilizing the national order.
In this way, Su Ke, who has a condescending advantage in the power structure, does not need to waste too much energy to easily take down the opponent, what he needs to do is to find a logical charge for the opponent, a logical charge for the civilian clique. Then disrespect for the emperor and unreasonable restrictions on the emperor's exercise of legal rights have undoubtedly become the best crimes.
Moreover, this crime is something that the civilian clique cannot resist, unless they want to find a perfect reason for the ordinary people they have formulated or oppressed to resist their rule.
In the face of this major issue of right and wrong, all the members of the intelligent civilian-bureaucratic clique have tacitly chosen to keep their mouths shut. Therefore, when a generation of great poets Qu Yuan once again embarked on the road of being assigned. The friends who call him brothers and sisters on weekdays, and the confidants who recite poems together, there are few people who appear in front of him at all.
After looking around, Qu Yuan's expression began to become heavy. Could it be said. is really like what Meng Weijun said, the hypocrisy of the civil official group is not at all understandable in his own era. For them, they are just a weapon in the political struggle. But no matter in a good blade, it is not the object that Qu Yuan wants to compare.
But at this time. In the lush grass in the distance, a merry knight dressed in white with a sword hanging from his waist slowly appeared in front of Qu Yuan's eyes. Qu Yuan Wanwa didn't expect that when he was disheartened, someone would appear in front of him.
"Brother Li Bai? How did you end up here? Surprised, Qu Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Li Bai dodged the thorns in the grass vigorously, quickly came to Qu Yuan's face, and laughed: "Of course, I was exiled with my brother." β
Qu Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you voluntarily applied for exile?" That's not going to work. I'm a fool, I've been used as a gun, and I've ended up like this, and that's it. How can you be involved brother? β
Li Bai smiled and waved his hand and said, "What is the voluntary application for exile." I lost my official position and came out with a seal. Is the atmosphere of officialdom for us? It's not interesting for this official to be in front of him, just to accompany his brother out for a walk. β
Hearing these words, Qu Yuan couldn't help but be moved to tears. In his own opinion, the exile career that is likely to die for a lifetime has turned into a wandering in Li Bai's mouth. This is a walk that accompanied him to block his life.
"Good brother!" Wiping away the tears that had just flowed down, Qu Yuan slapped his big hand on Li Bai's shoulder at once. After Li Bai's dull sound. Li Bai's face twisted slightly for a moment, and he also slapped his big hand on Qu Yuan's shoulder.
The two sides were slightly embarrassed, but immediately looked at each other heartily and laughed.
"Let's go!"
As a result, the two embarked on a career of exile in Australia.
But on the frontal battlefield that is about to unfold. The soldiers of the Great Viet Kingdom had already engaged in a desperate battle with the cavalry of the Mongolian steppe. Even the officials and media who were most concerned about the poet's movements in the kingdom of Da Viet did not notice that the two great men of the world had embarked on a journey of exile.
For many natives, the newspaper has been writing at length lately about the victories of the Empire's armies in the Mongolian steppes.
In the initial battle, batches of heroes emerged on the grassland. They are like their ancestors. Galloping freely on the grassland they were familiar with, with their speed and accurate bows and arrows, one after another Da Yue ** people, armed to the teeth, covered the only defense hole in their bodies, faced the door, and fell to the ground in pain. The vast majority of them are bound to be left with lifelong disabilities. Naturally, it is impossible to completely avoid the appearance of death.
However, their resistance did not last long. After all, the elite of a regime is only a minority. When they charge, it means that the whole regime has reached a decisive battle. But unfortunately, the surging enemies, it seems that everyone has the same combat power as their elite, and their elite, all they have to do is to maximize the results as much as possible.
As a result, the co-leader of the various Mongolian tribes, Lin Dan Khan, began to find himself facing an increasingly dangerous situation.
As it stands, his warriors have suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield. But he was still unwilling to give up his dream, a dream that had haunted him since he ascended the throne and became Khan. He wanted to lead his children and grandchildren to build a strong empire again, as Genghis Khan did.
However, his dreams were about to be shattered in the face of the enemy's rumbling diesel engines.
The warriors of the steppe have seen what the enemy calls electric cars. Because it has been used on the battlefield with Houjian, all the Mongolian tribes have basically understood this new weapon, although when they first saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised and even frightened, but soon they have adapted to it.
Therefore, in the initial battle, there was a group of elites of the Mongol tribes, which brought immeasurable losses to the army of the Great Viet Kingdom. But as the war continued, the Great Viet Kingdom brought in a stronger fortress of war.
Many heroes of the steppe were shot and killed by fierce enemies one by one in front of this high-speed moving fortress of war. And the bows and arrows they shot with all their might could not make even a single hole in the silver-white fortress.
Xiao Maha stood in the body of the truck and sneered at the Mongol cavalry who had attacked again. Not long ago, they received a report that Lin Dan Khan was operating in this area, so they were urgently dispatched here to prepare for a decapitation operation.
Compared to the regime with a high degree of organizational ability in the aftermarket. The decapitation operation is likely to temporarily incapacitate them from command. But for the regime formed by the tribal alliance, the death of Lin Dan Khan can have a huge political impact at most. But it's very difficult to get their organization to collapse completely.
Many times this phenomenon exists. The more primitive the form of organization, whether it is an organism or a regime, the less dependent it is on the central command hierarchy. Earthworms that have been cut in two can still continue to live, and even inadvertently complete the most important mission of life, which is to reproduce.
And for the current Lin Dan Khan. If he dies, all but those who belong directly to him will be directly affected, and the rest of the tribes will continue under the command of their respective tribal leaders.
Xiao Maha naturally knew that under this form of organization, the significance of the decapitation operation was extremely limited. However, he was more aware of the emperor's reasons for the eagerness to complete this beheading operation.
That is the only trophy that can be obtained, political influence. It is worth noting that this is not a political deterrent to the enemy, it is not as effective as a military deterrent. What His Majesty the Emperor needs is a political deterrent from within. Not many people will analyze in detail whether the decapitation operation can effectively combat the resistance of the steppe tribes, they only know that their emperor took decisive measures. Let the traitor Lin Dan Khan, who dared to resist the soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom, cry out.
The Emperor is in great need of this deterrent at the moment, and before coming here, he had just thwarted a political run by a civilian clique against him. For the Wujiang Group, he held the right to continue to be able to perform on the stage of history. And this hard-won power must be cherished by every general. Xiao Maha is one of those people who knows this very well. Of course, he also knew that he was not fighting alone. Many people are already acutely aware of this.
What they had to do was very simple, because they were already tied to a chariot with His Majesty the Emperor. One glory and one loss are the truest portrayal of them at present.
This is the law of survival, even if you don't want to risk the destruction of your family and get involved in political battles, others will do everything possible to pull you into the water. What's more, there is a natural entanglement of interests between civil ministers and military generals. For Xiao Maha. He doesn't even need someone to pull him into the water.
"Why are you stunned?" Xiao Maha, who was groaning, was suddenly touched by the people around him. He turned his head and found that it was Yang Dayan, who was in the same car as him, and he was in the middle of the beheading operation. Most of them were elite soldiers, and only a dozen generals from the Northern and Southern Dynasties followed Su Ke to this vicinity.
"What's wrong? Found your goal? Xiao Maha asked with some confusion, and his tone seemed to be mixed with dissatisfaction with Yang Dayan. Not only because of the unclear grievances in the previous life, but also because of their current competitive relationship.
Yang Dayan didn't take this slightest dissatisfaction to heart, for a person with special abilities. The lord's needs for him are unique. No one can compete with him in what he is good at. Unless, the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong in "Water Margin" can appear in front of his eyes. But that's basically impossible.
"I found that no. It's just that a group of monks appeared in front of us, strange-looking monks. "For them during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the lamas of Tibetan Buddhism were indeed a strange group of monks.
At Suke's signal, all the trucks stopped. The clerk has begun to hack on the file, trying to find out if there are any acquaintances on the other side.
Soon, they found what they were looking for.
"That man is Sharpa." The clerk held a tablet, kept comparing the portraits on the screen, and finally came to a categorical conclusion.
Gathering information in the seventeenth century was not an easy task, which led to a lack of rigorous corroboration. The clerk seemed to be very cautious by nature, and after many comparisons, he finally came to a conclusion.
Sharpa, this man was later called in historical records, Sharba Khutuktu. However, the last four words are just a title, and it was only during the Qing Dynasty that they were widely awarded to Tibetan Buddhist lamas. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the only people who could enjoy this reputation were those who were ridiculed by the traversers.
But this guy is indeed not simple, the well-informed lord of the steppe, Lin Dan Khan, was fascinated by his little tricks. Confusedly, he respected him as a national teacher. and vigorously promoted the Red Religion revered by the Sharpa. This caused many Mongol nobles who believed in the Yellow Religion to gradually turn away from the lord of the steppe.
In the original history, it was under this circumstance that Lin Dan Khan was gradually defeated by the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty, and finally defeated Qinghai. Away from home. His descendants also reluctantly surrendered to the Manchus and became slaves of others.
And now, what Su Ke and the others have to do is to pick peaches in front of Huang Taiji. Anyway, Lin Dan Khan is no longer supported, and the tribes are in their own way. It is difficult to form an effective resistance. Even though their tribal chiefs may far outperform the mediocre Lin Dan Khan in terms of command ability, it is difficult for them to unite the other tribes under his banner.
The steppe civilization has a history of thousands of years, but Genghis Khan has only one of them, and he died on the battlefield in Western Xia.
So the end of this war has been basically finalized before it begins. The only variable is whether the war will end early. And now, the only variable has basically settled, since the guy called Sharba appeared in front of him.
"My great Emperor of the Great Viet Empire. I, the pious Sharpa, swear allegiance to you. I will help you defeat the hateful Lin Dan Khan, and I just need you to reward me with a little room to live. We want to go into the country of Viet to spread our teachings. My Great Emperor ......"
Su Ke was startled by the voice that suddenly came out from the other side, and he didn't expect that this guy's ambition was not small, and he also wanted to enter the country of Dayue to spread Tibetan Buddhism. There is not much of a problem with this religion itself, but some believers are not as religious as they say. In many cases, religion is a means for them to make profits, and it is also a powerful weapon for them to deceive and kill innocent people. This kind of thing should never appear in the territory of Da Viet Kingdom.
"Where did all this nonsense come from." His Majesty the Emperor shook his fingers, and a stone slowly rose from the ground, startling the master of tricks on the other side, Sharba. But Su Ke didn't give him a chance to pat himself on the back to get closer to each other, and the stone flew out in an instant with Su Ke's fingertips poking out quickly.
"Ahh All of Sharpa's words of praise turned into a wail.
The stone hit him right in the center of his eyebrow. Under everyone's gaze, his body staggered and fell off his horse.
"Hu Luguang." Su Ke roared, and a general behind him stepped out.
"The end will be."
"Leave a few useful mouths."
After a simple dialogue, Hu Luguang rushed out with his soldiers. A symphony of blood and fire ensues.
Dozens of minutes later, Su Ke sneered at Sharpa, who had woken up and turned around.
Although the two sides are still watching each other, the situation is very different from not so long ago. Instead of riding on a tall horse, the current Sharpa was tied up like a dumpling and wriggled on the ground like a worm.
"I know you have what I hope for, at least you think he's worth a lot. So much so that I will allow you to spread your faith in my country. But you wouldn't think that fair trade can only be done in the face of equal strength. And you, I'm sorry, you don't have that qualification yet. β
After Sharba heard these cold words, he immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words. They used the weapons in their hands to change the rules of the trade, the reason is very simple, their chips were not accepted by them, but the temptation they gave was too great. Thus, his fate can be clearly explained.
As for the current content of the transaction, it has become that valuable secret in exchange for his life. However, this is also acceptable for him, at least after seeing Leng Sensen's gaze, even if it was originally unacceptable, it is now acceptable.
I said. I know where Lin Dan Khan is. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ahh Lin Dan Khan in the cold wind was a little overwhelmed, although he was not a pampered emperor, but the wind and frost on the battlefield were already making his body tremble.
"Great Khan, are you alright?" The Mongolian nobles around him seemed to be obedient and asked about his physical condition.
"I'm fine." Lin Danhan said with a smile. To show his optimism, he joked, "If there is a Han man standing here, maybe someone will say that someone is talking about me." β
There was a hearty laugh, real or fake, all around. But after a while, they couldn't laugh anymore.
The rumbling sound was obviously not the hoofs of a war horse, but the new weapon of the Great Viet Kingdom, which they called a truck.
"Not good!" I don't know who shouted loudly first. It immediately caught everyone's attention and ignited panic among the vast majority of people, as many of them realized that danger was looming towards them. "It's the enemy's truck! Run, everybody! β
Thereupon. Tens of thousands of cavalry began to flee by the road, and in a panic, some of them crowded together, some simply trampled on each other, and even rushed into Lin Dan Khan's tent.
"Calm me down!" Lin Dan Khan brandished the treasure knife in his hand and cut down several routs. His guards followed suit, but their power was limited, and it was impossible to stop the fear that had spread everywhere.
"Great Khan! We must protect you as you go! The head of the guard ran over and roared loudly at Lin Dan Khan. Between the lightning and flint, Lin Dan Khan couldn't tell whether he was loyal to him or even he was scared.
However, Lin Dan Khan has also calmed down now, and he knows that there is nothing he can do about the current situation. Escape is an action that has to be carried out, and the Han people have a good saying, stay in the green mountains. I'm not afraid of running out of firewood.
So, under his leadership, all the cavalry began to retreat frantically. What made Lin Dan Khan feel a little relieved was that since he also joined the fleeing army, the soldiers who had been in a panic seemed to have found a way to escape. At least they no longer trampled on each other as before, but fled with Lin Dan Khan in a very orderly manner. This made Lin Dan Khan, who had already lost the game, feel that he was still their Great Khan.
However, his idea soon turned out to be naΓ―ve and ridiculous. Because he found that his opponent's truck seemed to be running tirelessly.
"Great Khan. My horse is dying. One of the guards said. Great Khan, and so is mine. β
Lin Dan Khan knew it very well in his heart. Even if you can have three horses in one person in normal times, it is impossible to outrun the pursuers. After all, there is a limit to a horse's physical strength. Now he is covered in stinky sweat, and he doesn't have the bearing of a big sweat at all.
But the pursuers had no intention of giving up. Not only do they have an advantage in speed, but their crossbows also look much better than their own. Looking at those bows and crossbows that reflected the silver-white metallic light, constantly reaping the lives of the warriors under the command of the Warriors, Lin Dan Khan knew that his life might have changed drastically.
Suddenly, a loud roar came down from the trucks.
"Surrender or die!"
Lin Danhan gritted his teeth and glanced back. I saw that the other party was holding iron cylinders and shouting to his soldiers.
Soon, many people fell to their knees and surrendered. Because their bows and horses have no hope of victory. As a steppe, they are the proudest things, and when they lose their effect, the hearts of the warriors are hollowed out.
Lin Dan Khan felt that there were fewer and fewer people around him, and in the end, there were only a dozen cavalry left around him. The head of the guard, who had just fled, had already surrendered. The question from not so long ago seems to have been answered now, but it doesn't matter anymore.
The bright steel knife annoyed the guards who were loyal to him at the end, and then put it on his neck Lin Dan Khan, and the cold feeling suddenly penetrated into his bones, instantly making the hot sweat on his body become extremely cold.
Su Ke slowly stepped out of the truck he was riding, surrounded by more than a dozen famous generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Looking at the sweat of the defeated army in front of him, as if he had just taken a bath, he couldn't help but joke: "Lin Dan Khan, is it hot sweat or cold sweat on your body?" β
There was a burst of laughter all around, and everyone looked at the lord of the grassland with their own playful eyes. This made Lin Danhan feel ashamed and angry, but he really didn't have the courage to put a slap on his neck.
"I surrender!" Lin Danhan said this sentence weakly, and in exchange for a burst of laughter. It's just that this time there is less of a taste of banter and more cheers of victory. (To be continued.) )
