Many believers come in and out, and even from a street away, they can still hear the majestic sound of prayer inside. It is a nearby Buddhist temple, a believer Liao Liao. Judging from the gilded plaque, it can be seen that the incense was extremely prosperous in the past.

Chayan is a person who worships the Buddha and wants to go to the Buddhist temple to donate some incense money. But the driver can't leave without permission, so he can only give up.

Shortly after the sun rose the next day, the convoy began to set off again. At the beginning, Chayan felt that things in the outside world were rare, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that it was not interesting. Just pass through Hami and enter Hezhou. Along the way, there are mostly deserted Gobi deserts, and there are very few oases.

It was the first time that Chayan was so far away from home, and he was not very happy. Coupled with the tiring travel, the desert climate is unpredictable. made the observation of the soil and water unaccustomed and fell ill directly.

In the end, the carriage at this time was no better than the car of later generations! Even if Lee Seung-ji made improvements, the comfort of the carriage was greatly improved.

But the road was uneven, and the carriages were shaking. Sitting in it for a long time is unbearable for anyone. Li Chengji also often got off the car and rode a horse, so that his body and bones were not so uncomfortable.

This disease slows down the convoy!

Li Chengji came to see Chayan in person, and the military doctor said that she needed to recuperate for a period of time and could no longer be tired from riding in the car.

However, the itinerary of the convoy was arranged. It is impossible to stop and leave just because of a person. Li Chengji had no choice but to leave all of Xia Guo's family sending team to take care of Chayan, and assigned some guards for them to take care of carefully.

The convoy continued its journey in the direction of Malu.

When he arrived at Broken Leaves, the good news of the Western Army was also sent to Li Chengji's desk. But after Ahura led the Khorasan army across the Volga, he was like a bamboo. First defeat the large local tribe - the Zedansk tribe at the trifurcation of the Volga. It was the boundary west of the city of Samara in later Russia, surrounded by rivers on three sides.

Water is abundant and the soil is fertile. The people of Zedansk live by being half fishermen and half herding. In spring and summer, when the weather gets warmer, the tribe will also grow some wheat and corn. In terms of civilization, it's quite high. They practiced Orthodox Christianity, which came from Byzantium, but it was confined to the upper tribal classes.

Ordinary tribesmen are slaves and private property of the upper echelons of the tribe, and they have no rights that ordinary people should have except for looking like people. When the Khorasan army approached their tribe, the tribal chieftain of Zedansk did not know whether he was stupid or not.

Not only was he not afraid, but he also hurriedly organized troops and horses to attack the military camp in Khorasan.

What's even more ridiculous is that the weapons of the Zedansk Department are still mainly animal bones and wood, and there are few iron tools. Even if there is, it is extremely ordinary and inferior iron. In Khorasan, such iron tools were to be remade.

So the courageous Zedansk department immediately touched a full bag!

Ahura also wanted to make an example of the monkeys, so he ordered his army to kill all the men in Zedansk who were taller than the wheels. And cut off their heads, and built a large Beijing temple with the head of 10,000 people in the tribe's station.

The results of this iron-clad move are also extremely gratifying!

The timid tribes were either afraid of people coming to contact them, or they packed up and led the entire tribe to move westward. Even several nearby small Rus' principalities sent emissaries to Khorasan as a sign of closeness.

But there were still short-sighted tribes gathered around the Great Khan of the Kupchak Alliance, and reorganized their troops and horses, preparing for a decisive battle with Khorasan.

Ahura also wanted to level the Kipchak steppe once and for all, so he also reorganized his army by the Khan king. marched westward without slowing down, constantly sweeping the various divisions along the way. Those who do not obey the order directly sell the entire tribe to the human power firm.

This is a name that everyone in the Kipchak steppe hears about today.

There is no tribe that is not afraid of manpower and business!

Because as long as they are listed as enemies by Khorasan, these tribes are on the blacklist of human merchants who can be captured at will.

For the merchants, these tribesmen were not people, but gold coins with long legs. As long as they are sent to the territory of Khorasan, the shopkeeper of his own workshop rushes to ask for them. No matter how bad it is, it can be sent to the mine or various engineering teams under the Ministry of Industry.

Mines and engineering teams sell at a higher price than workshops. There is a high labor intensity and relatively difficult conditions. Every once in a while, people die, so there is a great demand for workers.

The human merchant only makes money, but does not care whether the tribesmen who are sold live or die. Therefore, in the matter of arresting the tribesmen, the trading houses are extremely hard.

Khorasan also allowed the presence of mercenaries, taking into account the peculiarities of the manpower trading house. And those caravans that do cross-border trading can also recruit mercenaries to protect the safety of the caravans. It's just that in the territory of Khorasan, all mercenaries are required to receive an official certificate of employment qualifications.

Otherwise, you can't become a mercenary. And there are limits to their weapons! Some military equipment is absolutely untouchable. When the Khorasan government is called, these mercenaries must also actively respond to the call.

It can be said that the restrictions for mercenaries are numerous.

But that still doesn't stop people from becoming mercenaries.

First, the treatment is good! For example, on an ordinary trip to Mongolia in Khorasan, the basic remuneration of a mercenary is 3,000 gold coins a year. In the event of a fight or injury, it is to be counted separately. If the period of one year is exceeded, it is counted as twelve gold coins per day.

Compared to the army, it is obviously faster to get the benefits.

Second, mercenaries are free. Not as much discipline as the military. In the caravan, except for the shopkeeper, it is the mercenary who has the highest status. Because the safety of the caravan depends on the mercenaries. Many veterans who were discharged from the army were recruited by the caravan and became mercenaries.

If you go out with the caravan again, you will have food and clothing for half your life.

Therefore, in Khorasan, the position of mercenary has become a sweet spot. The major commercial houses are also rushing to get VIPs, but unfortunately the official control of Khorasan is extremely strict, so that the market is still in short supply.

This time, the manpower firm that followed the Eastern Expedition to Kipchak was fully prepared! The more mercenaries you recruit, the better. If it weren't for the maximum number of people limited to 300 people, these manpower firms might really be able to make a scale of tens of thousands.

At the moment in the village of Kollov, several mercenary teams poured into the place. It is a new village for immigrants and has not been formed for a long time. There are about 200 households, 30% are Huihe people, 20% are Eastern Qarakhanid people, 20% are Xia people, 20% are immigrants from different regions with very mixed origins, and 10% are local subservient tribesmen.

Originally, they belonged to different tribes, but Khorasan disorganized and redistributed the people of all tribes. As a result, the social organization of the tribe was completely disintegrated. So they now have only one identity, and that is the Khorasan.

The village has a population of more than 1,000 people, which is quite large. It was also they who had crossed the Volga and penetrated deep into the interior of the Kipchak steppe. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the Khorasan government will deliberately resettle on a large scale when immigrating.

And they have a post nearby, and their safety is guaranteed.
