Chapter 1034: The Defeated General of the Defeated Soldiers
When they went up the mountain, Gar and other Tubo people were depressed, feeling that they were several levels lower than the Qin people.
It was the Qin State Mission, who raised his eyebrows and even felt a little arrogant, especially the etiquette member Wailang even walked out of the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize him, and his eyes were about to turn to the sky.
Yongbrakang Palace, which is now Zampu's other palace, comes to live for a period of time every summer.
It is already autumn now, but because the princess Saimaga is in the mountain palace at this time, Gar is specially brought over by the Qin people on the order of Zampu.
On the way, you can see many Tibetan people who come to pilgrimage and worship the mountain.
Because Yongbulakang Palace is the first palace in Tibet, it has long been more than just a palace of Zampu, and it is also regarded as a holy place by the Tibetans.
The Tibetan people who believe in Bon religion have the custom of turning mountains and kowtowing to grow their heads.
Especially if someone in the family is sick, etc., they are accustomed to ask the Bon master to divinate and ask the gods for them, and after asking the gods, they will make a grand wish and offer incense and incense. If a family member is well, then he must have to repay his wish. The most pious way to repay the vows is to kowtow all the way to the Yongbrakang Palace, turn the prayer cylinder in the temple, and add a few stones and a few colored cloths to the colorful prayer flags on the sacred mountain.
Liu Renliang and others, who have just arrived, have met these pious people many times along the way, although they think it is amazing, some people can actually kowtow all the way from hundreds of miles away, they may have to kowtow on the road for a few years, and it is really kowtowing all the way to worship. They will prepare in advance, take their families to drive the cattle and sheep on the road, and the person who wishes to make a vow every day will kowtow forward, while the rest of the family will follow the cattle and sheep to graze, and in the evening, they will rest in the tent for the night and continue the next day.
Until they reach the temple and make a vow in front of the Buddha, the process is as short as one or two months, and as long as three or five years.
"These are some devout believers."
After learning about the Chinese Tibetan and local Taoist monks who came with the mission, they couldn't help but be amazed by their pious belief.
On the roadside, in addition to these devout believers, you can also see some caravans, as well as tribal farmers and their slaves in the fields along the roadside, as well as some herdsmen.
The Tibetans were originally a farming tribe of farmers, but gradually expanded, and only then developed into a powerful country with both agriculture and animal husbandry.
Most of the Tibetan merchants went to Tianzhu and Nibra, and the main commodity they sold was salt. Salt is also very profitable when it is sold to Tianzhu. In the past, it was the Subi people who sold salt to Tianzhu. But now, this lucrative trade is occupied by the Tibetans.
"Is Tianzhu on the other side of the mountain?" Liu Renliang asked.
"To go to Tianzhu, you have to go all the way to the south, and then climb over the big snow mountain."
"Is Tianzhu a country?"
"No, there are many countries in Tianzhu, and there are four countries that are the most powerful in the north of Tianzhu in recent years, namely the Tannisha country and the Murik country, as well as the Gundam country and the Morava country. The strongest of the nations today is the King of the Sun Ring of the Tannisha Country. ”
"In the north of Tianzhu, there is also a country on the high mountain Ni Boro, although the country is not big but very strong, and I have always been a marriage relationship with Tibet."
When it was over, Gar did not forget to add, "I also have contacts with the king of the sun in Tibet, and the relationship is good." ”
Liu Renliang smiled and didn't take this sentence seriously.
He doesn't know much about Tianzhu, only knows that Tianzhu is the birthplace of Buddhism introduced to the Central Plains, and many of the Central Plains people's understanding of Tianzhu also comes from the stories of those Tianzhu monks who came to the Central Plains, as well as some Central Plains monks who ventured to Tianzhu to learn scriptures and then came back.
It is said that Tianzhu is a very wealthy place, with fertile plains and boundless.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once wanted to open up a southwest Silk Road to connect Tianzhu, but later this Silk Road encountered those southern barbarian obstructions in Yunnan and failed.
After that, the Central Plains Dynasty did not try to open up the reason to go to Tianzhu.
Liu Renliang's understanding of Tianzhu is still in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, Tianzhu has a unified dynasty, it is said that this dynasty called Gupta unified almost the entire Northern Tianzhu, Magadha King Chandragupta I, according to the city of Fahrenheit and the establishment of the Gupta Dynasty, conquered the small countries by force, unified the Northern Tianzhu, and then also conquered several countries by sea and land in the south, reaching its peak.
Listening to Liu Renliang's doubts, Gar said that although the Gupta dynasty was strong, it only existed for about 200 years, and they perished about 70 years ago, and then Tianzhu returned to the chaotic state of many states, until now it has formed four great powers.
"It's so powerful and it collapsed all at once?"
"The Kushan Empire to the west of Tianzhu had weakened, so the Gupta Dynasty sent troops to seize much of its land, while others were captured by the Veda people. Originally, the Gupta Dynasty was allied with the Gupta people to jointly attack the Kushan, but later after the destruction of the Guishan, the Gupta people were in civil strife, so the Gupta took the opportunity to invade the east, defeated the Gupta Dynasty again and again, and seized a large number of territories, the Gupta rebellion was more difficult to suppress, and finally the Gupta Dynasty perished, and the land of Kushan that it originally seized was all taken by the Gutta people, and the Northern Tianzhu was divided into countless small countries. ”
Compared with the Central Plains, which is far away from Tianzhu, they don't care about this side, so they don't know much about the history of Tianzhu, but as Tianzhu's neighbors, the Tubo people who are only separated by a mountain know a lot about the situation in Tianzhu.
"Oh, by the way, we are also called the White Huns! About ten years ago, they were defeated by the Western Turks in the Western Regions and the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia, Persia and the Western Turks first divided the land equally after destroying the Hinda, and then Persia and the Western Turks fell out, so the Western Turks united with Rome to attack Persia, and finally the Western Turks seized the land of Bada. ”
Liu Renliang asked Wai Lang, "There is also a white Huns?" What does it have to do with the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty? ”
The member had some understanding of this, and said, "The White Huns were originally in the north of the Great Wall of China, and they were the descendants of the Dayue clan in the Han Dynasty. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he competed with the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north and south of the desert, united with the worms, and moved to the west of Jinshan, and then defeated Persia and forced the Persian king to pay tribute. When they were in their heyday, they stretched from the Green Mountains to the South Tianshan Road in the east and the sea in the west, and were extremely powerful. When the Northern Wei Dynasty was strong, they didn't dare to take advantage of it. ”
"The disgusting people are polyandhran and brotherly co-wifery customs, and the Tubo people also have the same custom."
Liu Renliang exclaimed, "I can't imagine that the White Huns, who were expelled by my Han family from Saibei and fled to the Western Regions, are so powerful, my Han family's subordinates were defeated and entered the Western Regions, but they were able to defeat Persia and destroy a big country like Gupta and Gupta in the past." ”
And such a powerful White Huns, but in the end they were defeated by the Western Turks, but the Western Turks who destroyed the White Huns were just defeated by Daqin, so to speak, well, the strength of Daqin is really far beyond what Persian Sassanid Dynasty, Eastern Roman Empire, Tianzhu Gupta Dynasty and so on.
"The Western Turks are now vassals of my Great Qin, so the land of disgust is now also the land of my Great Qin?"
"The Western Turks later defeated Persia and took the entire land of Tocharo, which was called Tocharo, and previously my Emperor of Great Qin conferred the title of Mohelu as the Khan of the Western Turks, and at the same time named him the king of Tocharo, so that the land of Bada is naturally also my Great Qin."
A group of Great Qin envoys were proud again, but Gar and other Tubo people felt deeply lost again, and they went around and around, how could they be his Great Qin.
