After Zhang Maixun finished speaking, he found that Xi Sheng led more than ten horses up the mountain, but the leader was the second son of the black-headed black black black guard patriarch of Beinuma, and ordered them to come forward to answer and asked, "Didn't you go back?" But what are you doing back? β
Muro Hui Tong GuΓ² translated, and said: "Mu Hui admires the majesty of the envoy, and he has come to defect, please ask the envoy for permission." Pointing to the fourteen men behind him: "They are all warriors in our clan, since that day they saw the might of the Tang Army, and they are grateful for the kindness of the envoy, so they are all willing to follow the work of dogs and horses under the envoy!" β
Zhang Mai saw that these fifteen people were all only ten years old, with strong bodies and rustic faces, and he liked it in his heart, but he still said: "You are here, what can your family do?" β
One of them, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, shouted without waiting for Muro's answer: "We have already told my father that we will not go back!" We're going to go down with the envoy! β
When Zhang Mai heard it, he asked his name, and the young man claimed to be Bi Shi, Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Break into the world?" It's not that easy to break through, it's the job of pinning your head to the waistband of your pants. You'd better go back quickly. Because he loved the simplicity of these young people, he ordered Wen Yanhai to take fifteen silver coins with lion's heads and reward them.
It turned out that the Black Khan Dynasty had already minted coins, either in copper and iron, or in gold and silver, to print the names of contemporary rulers, but the scope of circulation was usually limited to the territory, and a great khan minted a set of coins by himself when he arose, and even the deputy khanate coins in his own name in the jurisdiction, and the system was quite chaotic.
Mu Hui and the others got the coin, but they refused to accept it, but insisted on joining the Tang Army, and shouted: "What do we want this coin for?" It's just to buy a few more sheep to graze, we don't want it, we want to go with Envoy Zhang to fight the world! β
Zhang Mai said: "Our army is about to act, the future is very dangerous, you follow me, then you must be ready to lose your life at any time, let's go back, herd horses and sheep, marry a daughter-in-law, and live." β
Fifteen people were furious and cried out, "Who wants to herd the horses and sheep?" Who wants to marry a daughter-in-law by the sea? We don't do it! Just ask Envoy Zhang to take us in, that is, let us be a groom with the army, and we are willing. β
Yang Yi listened to their words and was facing his spleen and stomach, and thought: "These are good men, although they are Hu people, they are worthy of acceptance!" Then he said to Zhang Mai: "Special envoy, please accept them, I am willing to give them a guarantee." β
Zhang Mai was also moved, and asked Mu Hui and the others: "When you join our army, you have to abide by military discipline and learn Tang Yan, I may still scatter you and arrange to charge into battle, are you afraid?" β
Mu Hui said: "Don't be afraid, we are afraid that the envoy will not arrange for us to charge, but arrange us to be the palace army." "The palace army is the last part of the whole army, the temple army is cowardly when charging, the temple army is brave when retreating, and the martial people are all ashamed of being the palace army when they charge, and those who steal life are happy to serve as the palace army.
Zhang Mai's heart bloomed from then on, and he said: "Okay, since you have such determination, then I will accept you." I will not take special care of you, nor will I make special arrangements for you, in short, you will be treated equally in our army, regardless of your background. You have just come, and you all start as ordinary soldiers, and if you have merit, you will be promoted. He ordered Yang Yi to grant them weapons and horses, explain military discipline to them, and integrate them into the army, among which Murohui arranged for the guards to be fired.
With great joy, the others threw away the bone spear in their hands and took over the horizontal sword, the round shield, and the strong bowβthese fifteen men were quite skilled in archery, and could shoot arrows on horses, that is, ride archers. It's just that in the past, the weapons in their hands were relatively primitive and rough, and the knife they got after joining the Tang Army was a steel knife, and they pulled out feather arrows, and they saw that they were also made of fine iron, which was a weapon they envied.
The grassland peoples also have the distinction of advanced and backward, the Hui people were restricted by the iron tools of the Han people when they were in Mobei and Hexi, and now they have developed, but they have restricted the iron tools of the border tribes, so although the people of the Beinuma black-headed Wuhu and other tribes are fierce, but the weapons are more simple.
The return of more than ten people was just a small episode, and after settling them, Zhang Mai gathered the generals to discuss returning to the west. Guo Shiyong calculated the days and felt that the counterattack of the Hui people would arrive "ten days at the latest, or three days at the earliest". After consulting with the generals, Zhang Mai decided to divide the troops into three parts: the Eagle Yang Battalion to open the way, the Langya Battalion to the center, and the Leopard Tao Battalion to the rear of the palace.
Ben decided to act after eating at noon, but suddenly Xi Sheng sent someone to report, saying that the eastern part of Shihai came to defect.
Zhang Mai and the generals looked at each other, they were all surprised, but the Tang army had to operate in various parts of the Western Regions, and in the future, they would have to deal with these tribes, and people came to convey goodwill, so the Tang army naturally couldn't ignore it, Zhang Mai asked: "How many people are they coming?" β
The soldier said: "When there are nearly 1,000 people, they have been stationed in the southeast more than 20 miles away from the Zhaoshan Palace. Their messenger has come to the foot of the mountain. β
Zhang Mai groaned slightly and said, "Pass." β
After ordering the soldiers to go out, Zhang Mai first called the two guards of Mu Hui and Chi Ding, and asked them about the situation in the eastern part of the Tuqi Shihai, and Mu Hui said: "The eastern part of the Tuqi Shihai is brought back to the nomadic along the Yili River to the eastern part of Yibohai, and there are about 1,000 adult men in the whole clan, which is not too strong, nor too weak. β
Zhang Mai asked again: "What is their relationship with Hui Hui?" β
Murohui thought for a while and said: "That's it, they all serve back to the house, and they go to Balashagon to worship in the spring and autumn every year, and obey the dispatch in case of war, which is no different from our Beinuma black-headed black guard." β
Zhang Mai sorted out this information in his heart, and asked the generals: "What do you think is the purpose of this Tuqi Shihai East. β
Yang Yi said: "Most of the time we have won consecutive battles, they think that the Western Regions may be about to change, so they come to us." These tribes are like this, and they fall in whichever way the wind blows. β
The guards and fire chiefs, Wen Yanhai and others all nodded yes.
Guo Shiyong was cautious and said: "It's too early to say that it will collapse, it's better to be cautious." β
Yang Yi said: "No, I heard from Hesheli and Borasu that the envoy was sending sheep, so I came to fight the autumn wind." β
All the generals in the tent laughed, and Zhang Mai couldn't help laughing, so he saw the envoy from the east of Shihai going up the mountain, offering a pair of horns as a salute, and said: "The villain is ordered by the patriarch Shahari to greet the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Our department is poor and cannot find precious gifts, although this pair of horn gifts is light, but it is a little heart of our patriarch, and I ask the special envoy to accept it. β
Zhang Mai smiled and asked, "You already know that we are envoys of the Tang Dynasty?" β
The messenger prostrated on the ground and said, "We met the black-headed black black guard of Nannuma on the way here, and we have heard about it. β
Zhang Mai said again: "Since it is a piece of good intentions from your patriarch, then I will accept this pair of horns." Go back and tell me about Shahari and say that I will remember him. β
The envoy paused again and again, Zhang Mai noticed the look on his face, but there was no change, but said: "My department has long been afraid of the Tang Weide, and was oppressed by the Hui Hui, but the Hui is powerful, and our poor tribes also dare to be angry and dare not speak, now fortunately, the Tang army fell from the sky, killed Masouud, defeated Horan, and burned down the palace of Arslan, and gave a bad breath to the Yili River departments, from now on, our department is willing to take the Tang army horse head is the first to look forward, every spring and autumn and two seasons, will go to the Zhang envoy to pay tribute to greet him, in order to show the loyalty of my department. The patriarch sent me here to ask for special envoy Zhang to accept me. β
This passage is clearly that the eastern part of Tuqi Shihai invited himself to be a vassal, Wen Yanhai and the others couldn't help but be happy when they heard it, Zhang Mai was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Are you willing to belong to my Datang?" β
The messenger said: "We were originally a member of the Tang Dynasty, and now we are under the command of the envoy, but we are abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." β
Zhang Mai's face showed a look of great joy, and said: "It's rare that you still have this brave loyalty!" I have the sea in my mind, and since you have come to take refuge, my Heavenly Empire has no reason to accept it. β
Guo Luo did the translation, when he came here, he paused slightly, as if he hesitated, Guo Shiyong also seemed to have something to say, but in the way of the envoy of Tuqishi, Guo Luo still translated the past, the messenger kowtowed to the ground, and shouted Long live the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Mai was overjoyed, and ordered to take out five taels of gold and ten horses of silk, as a return gift, and ordered Mu Hui and Chi Ding to send him down the mountain, and the messenger was overjoyed and said goodbye.
