Section 1128 Waves (2)
And the idea of the Yue's people is very weird. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, the Yueshi had already settled in the Amu Darya River.
Its social economy has also shifted to semi-farming and semi-nomadic herding.
But the corresponding thing is the split of the Moon Clan.
Back then, Yin Lieshui fought and the Yue clan was defeated!
Even the head of the king of the Yue clan was cut off by the Huns to make a wine vessel, and the Yue clan was naturally not spared.
A large number of members of the royal family were killed by the Huns like dogs, and almost the entire royal court, except for children and women, was spared.
In order to humiliate the Yue clan, the Huns even castrated the nobles of the Shiyue clan as slaves.
The authority of the Yue Clan, which once had supreme prestige, has plummeted.
When migrating west, the big guys also have to unite under the banner of the royal family to survive the dangers on the migration road together.
However, when the Yueshi arrived in the Amu Darya River and expelled and conquered the local Cypriots, the powerful faction within the Yueshi swelled.
At the same time, on the way to the west, the Yue clan absorbed a large number of Cypriot tribes.
After these Cypriots integrated into the Yue Clan, they gradually seized power.
As a result, today's Yueshi people are in fact torn apart.
The royal court has been set aside, and the leaders of the five powerful clans have mastered the power of the Yue clan.
These five tribal leaders are known as the Wait.
The so-called Xi Hou means 'murderer' or 'hunter' in the Yueshi language, and when used in specific nobles, it means chief.
Because only the chief can decide who lives and who dies, and only the chief can decide when to hunt.
Later, the position of Ye Hu, a nobleman of the Turks, evolved from Xihou.
At this time, it was the historical node that Wuxi Hou began to take power, but the Yue Clan's royal court still had power.
The royal court also has some prestige, even if the powerful Wuxi Hou has to symbolically respect the royal court in name.
After all, the current Yueshi is not the Kushan Dynasty that annexed Great Xia and then became the ruler of India.
It is still just a tribal alliance that is recovering from the **** wound.
At this time, in the court of the Yue Clan, the Marquis of Wu Xi sat alone, while the King of the Yue Clan sat at the top and presided over the meeting.
The current Yue Clan's royal court still has a certain strength.
Therefore, the Marquis of Wuxi also maintained a certain degree of respect and respect for the King of the Yue Clan.
"I have heard the news that the Huns were defeated by the Han Dynasty...... "The young king of the Yue clan, wearing the traditional felt hat of the Yue clan and holding a scepter inlaid with gold and precious stones, sat on the top and said: "Therefore, gather all the waiters to discuss this matter together......
The history of the Yueshi people is very ancient.
They are a nomadic tribe that has been inherited from the Zongzhou period.
In ancient times, it was known as Yuzhi, and it has been active in Chinese history books many times.
By the end of the Qin Dynasty, the ancient Yue clan rose up, occupied the Qilian Mountains, captured Dunhuang to the west, and then invaded the Western Regions and occupied the local area.
In the end, he turned back and invaded eastward, defeated Wusun, and broke his tribe.
It's a pity that in the end, he was defeated in the battle for grassland hegemony with the Xiongnu Maodunshan, and was forced to abandon the Hexi Corridor and retreat to the Yinlie River, and then was broken by the old Shangdan Yu Lian's nest, and the remnants fled westward here.
For the Yueshi people, it was really a shame, a shame that no one dared to mention.
It's just that......
Now, the Yueshi people have to face their mortal enemy once again: the Xiongnu.
Because the Huns came after them......
Last year, the three kingdoms of Yueshi, Daxia and Kangju united and mobilized a large army to jointly resist the Xiongnu, but the result was a complete defeat.
Moreover, the people of the Yue clan know that compared to decades ago, their mortal enemies are stronger.
They are so powerful that they almost make the Yueshi despair.
There were even Hou Hou who were killed by the Huns!
The defeat again made the Yue clan panic.
They remembered decades of memories of their own fathers and grandparents.
Many people want to continue their flight westward.
Fortunately, at that time, the Huns suddenly and inexplicably withdrew their troops.
This made the Yueshi people stop moving west.
Rao was so frightened that he was sweating.
And now, the Yueshi people already know why the Huns withdrew their troops.
Because, there was a fire in their backyard.
The rise of China, which has been incomparably powerful since ancient times, defeated the main force of the Xiongnu in Munan, forcing the Xiongnu to turn back.
For China, or the rumored so-called Han Dynasty.
The Yueshi people know best.
In the ancient legends inherited by the Yueshi people, there is a shadow of China.
The Yueshi people even traded with the Qin people, and the precious silk was once sold to the edge of the world through the hands of the Yueshi people.
Naturally, Yueshi knew that it was not a legend.
If there is any power in this world that can stop and defeat the terrible Hun cavalry, it must be China.
It is precisely because of this understanding that the Yue clan knows very well what will happen if the Han Dynasty continues to attack?
The Xiongnu will definitely move westward like the Yueshi back then.
That's the real trouble for the Yue Clan.
Think about it, the powerful Huns, driven by the Han Dynasty like pigs and dogs, came to the feng shui treasure land that the Yueshi finally found.
And then what?
First of all, those soft-footed crabs in Great Xia must surrender.
Secondly, the Yueshi will have to embark on the wandering road of migration again.
The next ranch and land that belongs to the Yueshi clan, but they don't know where it is?
"What should I do?" Such doubts lingered repeatedly in the hearts of many Yue nobles.
The waiters are also at a loss for this.
Because they really can't think of a solution to this problem.
Otherwise, they would not have come here in person at the risk of being detained by the royal court.
Yueshi is once again in a terrible crisis.
If you are not careful, you may lose the country and extinct the species!
"My ancestors once paid tribute to China, and at that time, the Son of Heaven of China was still the Son of Zhou...... "King Yue asked people to take out an ancient bronze seal, which has become worn out due to time, and even the handwriting on the seal has been blurred.
However, the dragon pattern engraved on the seal indicates that this is a token from the ancient Zongzhou.
This is the time when Yueshi or Yu Zhi, a token of Zhou Tianzi's reward when a tribute pickaxe was in Beijing.
The Yueshi people kept it to this day, originally for trade with China.
After all, when the Yueshi occupied the Hexi Corridor and the entire Silk Road, there must be an item that could be connected to China.
This token of the Zhou Dynasty naturally became something that won the trust of Chinese nobles and merchants.
After the Yue's move to the west, this thing has become the sustenance of the Yue's people to remember their past honor.
However, the people of the Yue clan never imagined that this thing would be used again.
"I plan to send an envoy to the capital of the Han Dynasty of China with this token to make a pilgrimage to the Chinese emperor...... "The Chinese emperor has always been very talkative, when Qin Shi Huang was in the past, our ancestors only needed to say good things to enter the Great Wall and trade with them, this time, I believe that as long as we lower our posture, the Chinese emperor will inevitably agree to sell weapons, and at the same time, when the Xiongnu move westward in the future, protect us!" ”
For the Yueshi people, this is nothing more than a change from the current independence to the submission of China again.
And their ancestors once submitted to the Chinese Son of Heaven for hundreds of years.
There's nothing to be ashamed of here!
As long as it's profitable, let alone get down on your knees!
It's not impossible to call the Chinese emperor's father!
Moreover, Han and Yue's are thousands of miles apart?
King Yue believed that it was impossible for the people of the Han Dynasty to cross such a long distance and really run over to drive suzerainty.
In this way, it is just to pay some kind words and low profile, and call a few dads, you can exchange for a big backer and strong protection, why not?
Not to mention......
If you get in touch with China again......
So......
Pretty silk ......
Thin as cicada's wings, smooth as watery brocade......
There are also those exquisite unimaginable bronzes and all kinds of powerful equipment, which can be turned into the wealth of the Yue people.
And through the good relationship with China, monopolizing the trade of the Silk Road is enough to make the Yue Clan's royal court strong again, and then regain control of the whole clan!
As soon as they think of this, the Yueshi people are excited to dance!
Now, though, there's a question: how to get to China?
You know, to go to China, you have to pass through the vast territory controlled by the Xiongnu.
The stakes are just too great!
So, one of them asked the question.
But the king of the Yue clan was very confident, and he said: "I once met a merchant from the Great Xia people, and the merchant sold tea and silk from China, and I thought it was very strange, so I asked him, what happened? ”
The King of the Yue Clan looked at everyone proudly, and after satisfying his appetite, he said, "The merchant told me that they got these goods from India, and India bought them from China through an ancient road!" ”
"What does that mean?"
"There is an ancient road that leads from India to China......"
"I will send an envoy, through Bactria to India, and from India to China!" King Yue declared very strongly: "No matter what, we must reconnect with China!" ”
China is not only powerful, but also extremely rich, and it is the biggest source of wealth for the Yueshi people!
In the past, the Xiongnu were strong and beat the world, and the Yueshi people naturally did not dare to contact China, for fear of exposing themselves.
However, this is no longer the case.
China is strong again and has regained its former status, and the Yue clan naturally knows that it is time to come to the door and re-climb this ancient relative.
As the saying goes, no one hears of the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.
This is true for individuals, for groups, and even more so for nations.
As long as you are crazy and handsome and rich, then there is no need to be afraid of not having friends and relatives.
Some guys who can't beat the eight poles are desperately trying to get together, even if the hot face is attached to the cold ass, there are also people who are willing.
On the contrary, hehe......
So, the matter was decided.
……………………
And the ripples of this matter did not stop there.
The upheavals of the Eastern world, through the ancient Silk Road, along the mountains and seas, through Central Asia, into West Asia, to Seleucia, to Asia Minor, to the European continent, to Rome, and even to Greece and Carthage.
It's just that this matter has little to do with them, at most some good people are a little interested, and then, there is no more.
Because, now, the whole continent, is burning with the flames of war.
The Romans fought on both sides.
Wrong!
It should be three-sided!
They were simultaneously at war with Carthage, the Greek city-states, and the Jews of Jerusalem.
The scene of the battle, although one-sided, was always victorious, never lost.
However, the resistance of Carthage and the Greeks was also very resolute. (To be continued.) )
