Chapter 731: Paying Tribute to the Heroic Spirit
The shocking changes that took place in the steppe soon spread to Hala and Lin! Not to mention that the Mongol nobles had different thoughts, and the tribes that were annexed by the Mongols also had different thoughts. Businessmen have always had the most sensitive sense of smell. The Han merchants who came from the Han land in the Central Plains and the Yuan merchants who came from the Great Yuan in the west all saw that the situation was not right. When the Mongolian tribes were turbulent, they packed up their bags and hurriedly drove the horse team out of the Mongolian steppe.
In the northern part of the forest, where the people were encumbered, there was also chaos. However, it was the Mir Beggars, who annexed the Urgis, and officially launched revenge on Mongolia.
If it was before, the resurgence of this beggar was really not a big deal. However, at present, the change of the Chaer League has caused great casualties among the Mongolian high-level. Especially after Genghis Khan fell off his horse, he was bedridden.
The fourth prince was dead, the third prince was captured, and the eldest prince Jochi was stationed north of Mount Altan in the northwest, where the barbarians had once been nomadic lands. The second prince, Chagatai, is in the place where the Mughal began, and the entire Mongolian high-level is considered to be leaderless.
If it weren't for the queen who came forward to suppress the scene, Mongolia would have been in chaos long ago.
After all, Genghis Khan's political legacy is not insignificant! The huge Mongolian steppe, as long as it is taken over, is an imperial foundation.
Originally, according to the rules of the young son's property, Tuo Lei was the most inherited. However, in the process of expansion, the Mongol Empire successively absorbed scholars from the Hui He and Jin Kingdoms. Agrarian civilization and nomadic civilization are different, Genghis Khan was able to unify the Mongolian steppe, and he would not cling to the old Mongolian rules.
Therefore, what he liked before his death was the third prince Wokotai. The literati scholars in the Mongolian high-level also have many bases for Ogedai because he is good at disguise and shows a certain respect for the literati bachelors. And among the Mongol nobility, there was also a group of loyal supporters.
Although Ögedai is still in the hands of Da Yuan, the Mongolian high-level believes that Ögedai can be redeemed from Da Yuan in order to inherit the throne of the Mongol Khan.
It's a pity that the general of the defeated army was captured. After being captured, Ogedei's reputation fell a lot. Moreover, the Mongols admired warriors, and this captured person would only make ordinary Mongols think that they were greedy for life and afraid of death.
Therefore, some Mongolians thought that the second prince Chagatai should be allowed to return to succeed to the throne.
As for the eldest prince Jochi, because of the gap in identity, not many people mentioned it. He even advised Jochi not to leave the station.
In this way, the situation in the Mongolian steppe suddenly became precarious. But for Dayuan, it is a good situation.
Previously, it was also feared that the overthrow of the Xia throne would lead to the revenge of the Mongols. But now, there is a great chaos in Mongolia, and the threat has disappeared. Even if you do it well, you can maximize the benefits.
In the Great Yuan Dynasty, the call for troops to sweep the Mongolian steppes gradually rose.
On this day, Li Chengji paid tribute to the heroic soul at the martyr's monument in the north of Malu City, and Concubine Shuyan was called to accompany him. Because the queen is pregnant, it is not suitable to accompany her.
The Martyrs' Monument was built on the side of the Mapu Canal, and the original Gobi Mountain was overgrown with green plants because of the flow of the river. Now the mountain is named Hero Mountain, and all the dead Dayuan soldiers will burn their bodies to ashes and then bury them on Hero Mountain.
And for every person buried, a tree was planted. Some battlefields are too far away to be sent back to Heroes' Mountain for burial, and poplar trees named after them will also be planted.
Now the whole mountain is covered with poplar trees, and each big tree is engraved with a person's name. A fence was built around the forest to prevent outsiders from intruding and disturbing the rest of the spirits.
Since there is a memorial ceremony held here every year, the fame of Heroes' Mountain has gradually spread. Coupled with Li Chengji's mention of words, all high-ranking officials are also eager to follow suit, so Hero Mountain has become a town of considerable scale.
And because of its proximity to Malu, it is also a must-visit place for first-time visitors to Malu. The town is unwalled and stretches from the canal to the foot of Heroes' Mountain. There is a tendency to include the entire Hero Mountain.
A straight official road runs from Malu to the foot of Heroes' Mountain. On the archway two zhang high, the words 'Heroic Immortal' are written in Han, Huihe and Persian characters.
Li Chengji and Chayan came by carriage, and there were already two armies stationed on both sides of the official road. But this still can't stop the people who are eager to see the face of heaven, they are waiting to stay on the boundary two meters to the left and right of the official road, and the higher places are crowded with richly dressed old men.
Boats on the canal were also banned, but the boats were still crowded. Almost everyone has a clairvoyant mirror in their hand, and some climb onto the mast, waiting for the arrival of the car.
Just listen: "The saint has come up!" The saint is coming! ”,
"The Alawik Gang (Allah is greater) - 'Omruk (Long live the Holy One)", the wave of cheers came from the official road in the distance, and a caravan was seen driving from far and near.
The carriage was not moving fast, as if it had been deliberately slowed down. But each carriage is richly decorated in a predominantly white and gold tone. So there was also the most gold and silver on the carriage!
Driving on the official road, the sound of jingle is endless. It's like a piece of music that goes straight to the heart. However, when making the carriage, the craftsmen put a lot of effort into the accessories in order to deliberately create a solemn and gorgeous effect.
When the carriage is moving, it has the effect of accompanying the music.
And there are ten such cars in total, and each of them has a curtain closed, so that outsiders can't see what is going on inside. But everyone knows that this is the car of Shengshang Travel.
But in order to prevent someone from stabbing him, he deliberately traveled in ten cars. In this way, although the security has increased a lot, it is also more extravagant and wasteful.
It's just that the Ministry of Rites did not back down on this matter, and Li Chengji let it go.
In the carriage, Concubine Shuyan was gently massaging Li Chengji's head. Born as a medical woman, she knows how to advance and retreat. In the palace, he befriended almost everyone. Even if he gave birth to a son, he was quite popular in the palace.
Over the years, Li Chengji has also given him a lot of grace. Although it can't reach the level of favoring the harem, there are always a few days a month when she will rest in her bedroom. In the second year of marrying Lee Seung-ji, she gave birth to another daughter.
Both children and daughters are also rich and noble.
But after all, because of his identity, he stopped at the concubine, and it was difficult to make further progress in his position. Even if the position of the concubine is still missing, she can't enter. Because of this, Li Chengji still has a compensatory affection for him.
However, this time on patrol, bringing a survey, is not just as simple as pampering.
"Holy Lord, we're almost there." , Observing Yan Wen said.
Li Chengji, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes, and smiled a little bitterly at Chayan: "Is this the time?" The roots of the ears are clean. ”。
"Holy Lord, if those Di Wan knew, I am afraid that they would be so angry that they would hit the pillar to prove their fist heart!" , Observe the words and joke about abuse.
