Chapter 175: Jieli ascends the throne (ask for collection recommendation)
On Yudujin Mountain, it has long been a military camp, full of military tents, and troops everywhere.
"Dada-da-da!"
Groups of Turkic troops, riding war horses, swords at their waists, and strong bows and arrows on their backs, drove to the place where Jieli ascended the throne.
Today is not only the auspicious day of Jieli's accession to the throne, but also the birthday of the founder of the Turkic Khanate, Ili Khan Ashina Tumen, such a day, in addition to the large and small chieftains of all the steppe tribes are present, but also concentrated 300,000 troops, even Li Tang in the south and Li Liang of the Liang State have sent important ministers to participate in Jieli's enthronement celebration. What made Jieli Khan unhappy and dissatisfied was that the Sui Dynasty not only did not send an envoy to attend, but also cut off the two ears of his envoy Kang Sumi, and the message he brought back was only six words: 'If you want to fight, then fight', which made Jieli almost blow up his lungs. But whatever he wanted to do to get revenge, he would not be able to discuss it until after the three-day enthronement celebration.
Today, I first worshiped the Khans of the past dynasties, and then took over the sword of Ashina Tumen from the hands of the high priest from Jieli Khan, and officially became the new Great Khan of the Turks.
Three days later, he will give an order in front of the tomb of Ili Khan to attack Sui in the south. This is already a sure thing, otherwise, there would not have been such a large number of troops.
Yanran Peak is the highest peak in Yudujin Mountain, and the bones of the great khans of all dynasties are buried here.
This mountain is dozens of miles in radius, and there is a tomb on each hill. Lying in each tomb is a khan, as far as the founding of the country Ili Khan, and near there are Qimin Khan, headless Shibi Khan, and Chuluo Khan.
The largest tomb at the highest peak is the burial place of the Ili Khan. Ili Khan was the greatest leader in Turkic history, and during his reign, he eliminated the powerful northern tribe of the Turkic people, the Rouran State, the Western Defeat, the Eastern Khitan, and the Northern Qigu, and subdued the foreign countries, so that the Turkic territory expanded to the Liaohai Sea in the east, the West Sea in the west, the desert in the south, and the North Sea in the north. He also sent troops to attack Tuyuhun and was deeply loved by the Turks of all generations.
After the death of Ilkhan Khan, he was succeeded by his son Ashnakoro Khan of Yixiji and buried Ilkhan on the main peak. In fact, on this main peak, it was originally the burial place of the elders of the Ashina family, but Yixiji Khan felt that his merits were not enough to occupy the highest peak, so he moved him and gave up this best position to his father Khan. Jieli also hoped that his son would let the Ili Khan move and bury himself in this place, but he also knew that he had to establish the merits of the crown of the ancestors, and the whole family would agree, but he was very confident in himself and felt that the Turkic Khanate would be carried forward in his hands, and he also had the ability to crown the ancestors.
The Turks also have similarities with the Central Plains, such as the worship of ancestors, they attach great importance to the tombs of their ancestors, and when they are buried, they not only have to kill people and bury them, but also build the tombs as beautiful as paintings, otherwise, it is disrespectful to their ancestors.
As the greatest leader of the Turks, Ili Khan's tomb was the largest, most magnificent, and full of momentum.
Yanran Peak starts from the foot of the mountain, is a stone staircase that is seven or eight miles long, extends upwards all the way, and reaches the tomb of the Ili Khan, on both sides of the mountain road, there are stone piles made of white stones, not only with white flags on it, but also full of skulls of various strange beasts.
This kind of ancestral spirit land, except for major festivals or important people to visit, idlers are forbidden to enter, and trespassers will not be killed.
At this time, on the stone steps, the radiant Jieli Khan led his ministers and VIPs up the steps. Their steps follow the rhythm, not in a hurry or slowly, which is the unique pace of the Turkic people when worshipping their ancestors.
After walking the jade steps, you will arrive at an open space paved with jade from Kunshan, which is about a mile wide. The white jade of Kunshan glows softly.
The tombstone of Ili Khan is made of a piece of jade, and the top of the monument is a golden wolf made of gold, full of unruly momentum that looks down on the world, and some Turkic memoirs are engraved on the tablet.
After the worship, the high priest recited the ancient text and handed the sword of the Ili Khan to the Khan who knelt down in front of him.
Jieli Khan's heart was hot, he finally ascended to the coveted position of the Great Khan, but the hateful thing was that another symbol of power - the golden wolf head Daxu fell into the hands of Yang Tong, which was definitely a big regret for him.
Then, the Hun shamans dressed in leopard skins danced the sacrificial dance, and they did not dance much, doing all kinds of beast fighting movements. This kind of beast dance is simple and straightforward, and you can understand what they are doing at a glance. It only takes a few moments, and it's done.
This ritual seems very simple, but for the Turks, it is a new opening, but I don't know if this generation of khans will bring everyone to glory or what, and everyone is full of expectations for this.
Jieli Khan stood up, turned around, and stared at the Turkic army at the foot of the mountain. At this time, at the foot of the mountain, there was already a sea of soldiers, and more than 300,000 Turkic troops were all assembled, lined up in one phalanx after another, and it was not magnificent at a glance from the mountain.
Jali Khan's breath became rapid, his eyes were feverish, and he tried his best to suppress his excitement.
"Warriors of the Turks: we are the descendants of the wolf god! The Han Chinese, who are as timid as rats, are only worthy of being slaves of my Turkic warriors! No matter what happened before, we must not disgrace our great ancestors, and if we do not regain the lost glory, what face do we have to survive on the steppe. I, Ashina and the Great Khan of the Turks, order you to go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an in three days! ”
Jieli Khan knows very well that the Turks are different from the past, although the Turks are unified again, but they are actually caught in internal and external troubles, and there have always been people inside who are not convinced by him, and there has always been a voice of 'Ashina is not the Khan chosen by the Immortal Heaven', and the major Turkic forces have peeps at the Khan's position. Therefore, he had to marry the daughter of the chief of Xue Yantuo, the first force of Tiele, and canonized him as Kedun, and brought in foreign aid to consolidate his khan, but the chief of Xue Yantuo Yi lost his bowl and stood on his own twice, and was not loyal to the Turks, and in the current form of the Turks, a mere marriage could not trap this cunning and ambitious old wolf.
In addition, Tiele Hui, Qibi, and Hun felt that Yi Lost Bowl had betrayed Tiele, and began to have signs of forming an alliance against himself and Yi Lost Bowl, if it weren't for the support of Yi Lost Bowl with the support of Servant Gu, Tongluo, Ba Yegu, Ge Lulu, and Ba Ximi, I am afraid that he would have attacked his 'father-in-law' long ago.
In order to suppress the voices of internal discord, and to stop the Tiele tribes, Jieli had to establish his supreme prestige with a brilliant victory, and the eyes of Jieli Khan swept from the army to the far south, and where the Turks fell, they had to get up.
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"
"Go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an!"
A shout shook the earth, and the wind and clouds were overshadowed.
Listening to the shouts of "go south to the Central Plains and conquer Chang'an", Li Xiaoji, the envoy of Li Tang in the crowd, turned pale, who is your Turkic ally?
