Wang Zezhi looked at the eagle in the herdsman's hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

The Eagle sends a message.

Because in winter, carrier pigeons are not easy to use, Wang Zezhi uses heralds to give orders.

However, the speed of the herald is not as fast as that of the eagle, and the herald is in trouble when it encounters the wind and snow and the wolf.

But the eagles are different, they are the products of the grassland, and they can adapt to this kind of harsh weather.

If he can have a flying eagle that is specially used for transmitting messages, it will be much easier to transmit messages and orders in the future.

"Yes, I'm interested."

The middle-aged herdsman was overjoyed, put the eagle in a cage, and planned to sell it to Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi picked up the eagle he handed over, looked at it casually, and stared at the middle-aged herdsman.

"Ah, distinguished guest, are you not satisfied with the goods?" The middle-aged herdsman rubbed his hands anxiously, he didn't know why Wang Zezhi didn't give him silver.

"No, I'm happy with the goods, but I'm more concerned about you as a person."

Wang Zezhi wanted to form a team of messenger eagles, but he didn't have the talent to boil eagles.

This middle-aged herdsman has several eagles, which shows that he has his own unique skills in boiling eagles and training eagles, and he wants to try to recruit him.

"You... What do you want? I, Ang Qinfu, am not a sheep on the steppe, but can be slaughtered. ”

The middle-aged herdsman misunderstood Wang Zezhi's meaning and directly pulled out the dagger he was wearing.

"Presumptuous!"

Wang Zezhi's personal guards and Ma Fu's sergeants saw his appearance and raised their weapons to aim at him.

The middle-aged herdsman's face was fierce, without a trace of fear.

"Drop, drop, you're mistaken.

I want to recruit you for the price of six taels of silver and one stone of rice grain per month, plus one pound of tea. ”

Wang Zezhi stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to lay down their weapons.

The guards and sergeants laid down their arms, and the middle-aged herdsmen put away their daggers.

"Cunning Ming man, what are you thinking?" Although the middle-aged herdsman put away his dagger, he was still a little vigilant.

"Your eagle can be used to deliver letters, right?" Wang Zezhi asked tentatively.

"Of course, my eagles are raised from young eagles."

Aung Qinfu said proudly.

Eagle, if you want to tame this ferocious bird, "boiling" is a means and process that many falconers in the grassland have to use.

Before preparing to "boil the eagle", it is necessary to cover the falcon's eyes with a special leather hat, and at the same time cover the falcon's feet with a leather case, so that the falcon can not see people and is not easily disturbed, and can not escape.

The so-called "boiling eagle" is to put the eagle in the snow, nearly a week without food and not allowed to rest, during which several people take turns to guard, once the captured eagle begins to nap, it must be awakened.

The process of boiling the eagle can be said to be very cruel, nine out of ten of the falcons caught must die of cold, hunger or excessive anxiety, and they may not survive after surviving.

It's not that easy to boil an eagle, and not all eagles have to boil it.

The herders on the grasslands are generally goshawks, because other eagles may not survive.

Of course, these are limited to adult goshawks, and if you start with a young eagle, the process is much easier.

Because young eagles are easier to tame. Everybody reads

"I need someone to help me boil eagles and train them to deliver letters to me, but no one under my command knows this skill, I think you will, so I want to ask you to come to Naturalization City to help me boil eagles."

"Do you mean Sanniangzi City?" The middle-aged herdsman asked with some disbelief.

The city of the three ladies is the city of naturalization.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was not a decent city on the Saiwai grassland.

In the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, Alatan Khan and the Three Ladies began to jointly preside over the construction of a city called Kuku and Tun.

It is recorded that after Kuku and Tuncheng entered the construction stage, Sanniangzi was the main host.

In the third year of Wanli, the city was completed, and the Ming Dynasty government gave it the name of Naturalization City.

At the time of the construction of the Naturalized City, Alatan Khan had reached old age and was riddled with illness.

Therefore, the third lady actively assisted her husband in handling various affairs, and in the ninth year of Wanli, the Khan and the third lady expanded the naturalization city again, and built a magnificent outer city.

In the 29th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the third lady was born in the Warakilagut (Turgut) tribe, and his father Zheheng Aha was the leader of the tribe, and the ruins of the tribe were in the area of Wushen Banner in Ordos City.

The third lady's real name is Zhong Jin Hatun, which means noble and prominent.

Growing up in a Mongolian aristocratic family, the three ladies were born beautiful and intelligent.

She is full of poetry and books, has a bold personality, and is good at singing, dancing, riding and archery.

When she grew up, the three ladies were able to write and martial arts, be open-minded, and understand affairs, and were deeply loved by the tribesmen.

Relevant historical records say that she is "young and young, good at books, charming and charming, good at riding and shooting".

Later, the Warakiragut tribe married the eloquent Alatan Khan (also known as Altan Khan), so the twenty-year-old third lady married Alatan Khan and became the princess.

The conclusion of this marriage has pushed the three ladies to a broad stage where they can display their talents to the fullest.

In order to assist her husband in expanding her territory and developing the economy of Monan, the third lady resolutely went to Warat with her husband.

This righteous act made the third lady even more favored and valued by Alatan Khan, no matter how big or small, she always obeyed her.

During the expedition, the third lady gave birth to a son, named him Bu Ta rude.

The marriage of the three ladies coincided with a period of extreme tension between the Ming Dynasty government and the Saiwai grassland.

Previously, Alatan Khan repeatedly sent envoys to open tributary trade after unsuccessful troops, and threatened the Ming Dynasty government to open border trade by force, which is known as the Gengxu Change.

In the thirtieth year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty was forced to open the Xuanfu and trade horses with Mongolia in order to avoid the misery of the people.

Soon after, the Ming Dynasty rejected the Mongol demand to trade cattle and sheep, unilaterally closed the horse market, and the two sides went to war again.

In the face of this severe situation, the three ladies used their wisdom and intelligence to disagree with the Ming Dynasty government.

In March 1571, after the unremitting efforts of the three ladies, the two sides finally announced a truce, turned hostility into jade silk, and realized the mutual market of tribute.

After the realization of the tribute exchange with the Ming Dynasty government, the border area of thousands of miles on the Saiwai grassland soon appeared a peaceful, stable and prosperous scene.

In the historical books, he commented on this: "The imperial court has no worries about the future, the horses have no example of the southern herd, the border hooligans have no killing residues, and the division and brigade have no labor." ”

Since then, Sanniangzi actively maintained friendship with the Ming Dynasty and the relationship between the tribute city, so that the Mongolian and Han people could trade freely, and the tribes on the grassland were even more convinced by her and were willing to be bound by it.

Whenever there is a mutual market, there is often a scene where the people of the two nationalities are "drunk and singing, and forgetting to return".

Later, the government of the Ming Dynasty named Alatan Khan as the king of Shunyi, and the third lady as the lady of Zhongshun.

Wanli six years. After Alatan Khan came back from making a wish to Dagan III in Qinghai, he began to preside over the construction of Hongci Temple, which is now Dazhao Temple, which was completed two years later, and spent a huge amount of silver to cast a huge statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, which was enshrined in the temple after the Dalai Lama III came to consecrate in person.

There are many herdsmen on the grassland, and in order to commemorate Sanniang, they call the naturalization city the city of Sanniangzi.
