Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trying to Capture the Past
In fact, even if the promises and conditions that Da Liang can give to them are not particularly preferential, the rise of the six forces such as the Goshawk Tribe and the Viper Tribe is an inevitable feat, it just depends on which side they will choose to cooperate with, or whether they can endure the insatiable exploitation of the three major tribes for a few more years.
In the vast sand sea of Brana, the resources that can be found and used for survival are too scarce, and in order for their respective tribes to continue smoothly, they need to make too many efforts, but the taxes levied by the three major tribes on them are getting heavier and heavier year by year, which has even seriously endangered the survival of their entire tribe.
For the three major tribes that have always been pampered and have a transcendent status, and are in fact equal to the khanate, the goshawk tribe, these middle tribes or other small tribes, said to be the same race, but in fact they are nothing more than cattle and sheep in captivity, and occasionally shearing and shearing from them, or even cutting a piece of meat alive with a hot knife, is actually just a means to maintain their dominance.
In this kind of place that greatly advocates the law of the law of the jungle, if you can't eat the flesh and blood of the weak, how can you live?
It's just that this kind of exploitation must be grasped to a certain degree, and the taxes and the number of slaves levied on the people below every year must be adjusted in a timely manner according to the actual situation, so that they will not take advantage of the lack of attention and develop quietly, until they have accumulated enough strength to support them to resist their own rule, and will not be too ruthless because of excessive demands, so that his opponent will lose too much blood, and even endanger their lives, and directly force them to rebel.
This is actually a slow knife to cut meat, the rules and truths can also be compiled into a unique science, but here it is slow, it may be ten years, a hundred years, or even a lifetime, people come to slaughter once a year, dig off a few catties of meat, go back to recuperate for a year, finally stop the bleeding, heal the injury, and at the end of the year by the same group of people slaughtered again, who can stand this?
But anyone who has a little brain, must try his best to resist, unless he is really servile, willing to sacrifice his life to feed the devil, and compromise, so this alliance is actually an imperative trend, and it is a choice that these people have to make in order to survive.
As for Da Liang's side, Gu Xuan first used the name of the Khanate to make them drift and disturb their thoughts, and then used a batch of meaningless and valuable treasures to make them excited, forgetting the real problem for the sake of petty profits, and finally made a promise to them that he was willing to fully support them in establishing a city-state and a khanate, and at the same time ban tariffs and fully open up trade between the two races.
Anyway, they say that they want to surrender, but in fact, it is also superficial, if something big happens, they will not contribute, and even as long as the price given by others is high, it is possible for them to defect directly, and the future affairs are all handed over to the future self to deal with, where to make it clear now, but if there are benefits not to take, it is a real fool.
What's more, the people of the three major tribes are holding knives behind them too ruthlessly, the temper of these fellow tribesmen, they have been oppressed for many years, that knows better than anyone else, if those people know that their side secretly sent people over to contact and form an alliance with the people of Liangguo, even if the talks fail in the end, the people of the three major tribes will never give up.
No matter whose sheep are raised, and suddenly want to jump out of the circle, once the master's family finds out, they will definitely be caught and killed in front of their subordinates, which will be used to deter the entire flock.
The Goshawk tribe has the accumulation of the past, but the strength is not bad, maybe the three major tribes are not easy to suppress too much, after some blackmail, it is estimated that they will be gently let go, and the whole clan of the Viper tribe is a soldier, once this is to be frontal, the losses of both sides will definitely not be small, so which chicken should be killed to scare these monkeys?
The answer is self-evident.
Therefore, even if the prerequisite for the establishment of the Khanate and joining the Khanate was to promise to let the Goshawk Tribe be the Khan King for ten years first, they could only pinch their noses and agree for the time being.
The Rakshasa clan still worships the strong in the end, and the goshawk tribe has tens of thousands of people, and their strength is extraordinary.
In the final analysis, these parties have each other's needs, and they must cooperate to build a superficial balance, so as to ensure the interests of everyone, neither will they be embezzled by the insatiable three tribes, nor will they be eaten by the cunning Liangguo people.
And they, the six parties, although they have now agreed to join the khanate, have taboos and filthiness against each other before, occupy an oasis with each other, separate the six directions, and it is usually not easy to ventilate with each other, so when I consider that if others have already begun to migrate, if they don't agree to this alliance and don't move their nests, they will inevitably be questioned by the three major tribes chasing after them, and these three evil ghosts don't dare to go to the Liang country to ask for explanations, isn't it good to clean up yourself?
Rather than staying and being caught as a slave, it is better to move the whole clan directly, so even in the goshawk tribe with the strongest strength and the most decent city-state, it didn't take long to persuade his father after Ashina went back.
Under the coercion of the three major tribes, they have become a vague rebel army in six directions, so to speak, and once they run away from the other five parties, will they remain here to be exploited?
Just the thought of leaving this ancestral land that had been in business for many years, or even leaving behind the city-state that had already been built, still made the old chief quite sad, and this became the most direct point used by his eldest son, that is, the first successor of the tribal chief, to attack Ashina.
The power struggle in the Rakshasa clan is not much inferior to that of the magnates of the surrounding countries.
But fortunately, Ashina was still a little anxious, and immediately told the whole matter of the Khan King, and appeased his father with a position of Khan King that lasted for ten years, and he immediately offered another plan, saying that he could take advantage of the time when the tribes migrated together, in the name of the King of Garohan, to requisition the goods and resources of the other five families to fill their own homes, and the old chief waved his hand and immediately began to let the whole clan prepare to migrate.
However, except for a very few people, the vast majority of people do not know that the entire oasis of Borona is inexplicably shrinking for unknown reasons, and the end of the entire Brahmana race is already predictable.
--------------------------------------
In the county government of Huangsha County, in a side hall used to entertain temporary guests, today ushered in three uninvited guests.
The Dire Lizard Tribe is still the pigtailed prince with a monitor lizard pattern and a nose ring on his face, and this is also their young chief, the only successor to the next chieftain, a half-blood girl representing the Blood Bat Tribe, and the young chief of the Sand Fox Tribe, who is only stronger than the Rat Tribe.
Today, all three of them came secretly by order of their fathers, the three chiefs.
Gu Xuan was still wearing the sky blue python robe given by the emperor, and after stepping over the threshold from the outside and entering the house, he raised one hand behind his back and raised one hand, and greeted the three people sitting in the room enthusiastically.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. ”
Today is the second day of their official migration from the six directions, and each tribe should still be in the final stages of settling down.
Because the place inside the county seat of Huangsha County is not large, the people who can migrate in and temporarily live in the comfortable city are all the nobles of the Rakshasa tribe, that is, the chiefs of the six major tribes, and the soldiers of the six major tribes temporarily occupy the military camp in the north of the city and live with these soldiers in Huangsha County.
I have to mention that Huangsha County's two-ethnic water emulsion* The harmonious appearance of blending, to a large extent, let these traditional Rakshasa nobles who came from afar let down their inner vigilance, otherwise these nobles who have always been greedy for life and afraid of death will not be bold enough to run to the hinterland of foreigners to live in peace, as for the lowest-status civilians in the clan, there is no such treatment, they are all with the help of Huangsha County, camped outside the city, not only food and water have to rely on the city, but also have to endure the daily exposure to sand and scorching sun, and at night, it is enough to freeze people to death, the situation can be described as very miserable。
Gu Xuan, who has already broken out of the cocoon and turned into a butterfly, has completely changed his mentality, after many days of precipitation, now he is exuding a breathtaking king from the inside out, although whether he is talking or doing things, he has always had a smile on his face that makes people feel like a spring breeze, but now even if the same group of people are sitting in front of him, he already has a sense of discomfort as a subordinate.
This kind of mental change and deterrence is extremely subtle, but it does not prevent these people from subconsciously putting away their arrogance, becoming cautious, and thinking of the purpose of this sudden visit, they quickly change to a flattering appearance.
Under the leadership of the mixed-blood girl of the Blood Bat Tribe, the three of them stood up in turn, bowed their heads slightly towards Gu Xuan, beat their left chest with their right hand, and greeted Gu Xuan with the greeting of the Rakshasa clan.
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
One is a very mellow Youzhou dialect, and the other two are very deliberately vague syllables that are imitated.
Stepping all the way to the main seat, Gu Xuan slapped his hand on the python head on the armrest of the big chair, and then smiled at the three people below: "You're welcome, please sit down." ”
When the three of them sat down in turn, Gu Xuan asked with a smile, "I just migrated here, are there anything uncomfortable?"
This girl from the blood bat tribe, because she is of mixed blood, part of her inherited the blood of the Brahmana tribe, so her figure is extremely hot, tall and proud, convex and backward, because she usually exercises properly, a streamlined muscle, full of explosive power and beauty, as if she is a dormant female leopard, people dare not underestimate it, and thanks to this part of the blood of the Liang people, her face is soft, her skin is light, not as fierce and weird as the Rakshasa clan looks, deep big eyes, like a knife and axe, the bridge of the nose is high, full of exotic customs, she is like this, even if she is in the Great Cool, I am afraid that she will fascinate a large number of people。
This woman's name is Ihuasaw, and it is all transliterated, after all, the Rakshasa people have no written language.
Because it is the product of a mixture of two races, although her mother was robbed by the chief of the blood bat tribe, but for the safety of the child, she also resigned herself to fate, in order to let a daughter in Ihuasha not suffer such a tribulation as herself, her mother has been extremely strict with her education since she was a child, but as a Brahmana and the chief's father, she is very fond of this only daughter.
Customs are customs, but it is also the nature of every race to love children.
However, in the Rakshasa clan where male power and power are supreme, she can replace so many brothers with one girl, so that she can become the representative of the entire tribe, and the hardships she has suffered are not enough for outsiders, and her ability is even stronger, if she had not defeated all the male warriors in the clan by one person, she would not have won the favor of the chief's father and the approval of the entire tribe.
She opened her mouth and spoke a serious Liangguo dialect, obviously she had practiced it well, and she also came to act as a translator for the other two on this trip.
"Thanks to the care of the prince, we migrated from Borana, and as soon as we arrived, we were entertained with good wine and meat prepared by the prince, which really made me feel very honored, this place is on the edge of Borana, and we and our people are very accustomed to it, both in terms of climate and food. ”
This is the truth, not to mention that these people in their clan may not be able to guarantee a full meal when they are in the desert, but they can have good wine and meat to eat when they get here, how can they complain?
When Gu Xuan heard this, he immediately nodded lightly, and said with satisfaction: "That's good, I have to teach you to know that our Da Liang and you will always have the same heart, and it is very sincere, in this case, I don't know why the three of them came to this king today? If you come to inquire about the construction of the city-state, this king will invite the six chiefs to a banquet tonight, oh no, it's wrong, it's the banquet of the six khans, and the king will personally inform you of the details." ”
As he spoke, Ivasha opened his mouth to translate for him.
This remark was extremely sincere, and the feelings were also very full, to be honest, even the most demanding people came, and they couldn't find fault, not to mention that the three of them didn't come for these trivial things, and after listening to them, they were all deeply touched, but they didn't say anything more grateful, but looked at each other, and finally decided to let Ihuasha, who can speak cool Mandarin, negotiate with them as the representative of the three parties.
I saw that the mixed-race girl suddenly took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up, and then asked sincerely towards Gu Xuan on the main throne: "Lord Wang, in fact, the three of us came to visit Lord Wang today to represent the three tribes we belong to, and ask Lord Wang to give us justice." ”
When Gu Xuan heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he said suspiciously: "Oh, what is going on? Why did the three of you come to this king to ask for justice? Could it be that someone in the city has a conflict with you? Or is someone deliberately targeting and making things difficult for you?"
After speaking, he suddenly slapped the python next to him again, and the sound was not small, but it startled the people below.
Gu Xuan snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Hmph, it's really bold, this king has already ordered everyone in the city to treat each other with compatriot courtesy, who dares to disobey my orders? Tell this king, who did it? Is it Jinglong? It must be this kid, besides him, who else has such courage, bastard thing!"
Ihuasha's heart warmed slightly when he heard this, because the other people in the surrounding countries avoided them, the Brahmanas, who had very different faces and customs, and regarded them as barbarians and beasts, while the cool prince in front of him seemed to really regard them as his brothers and sisters.
Jinglong's name, she has heard it, it should be the general in the city who is dressed in heavy armor and has an extremely fierce temperament, you don't have to think about it, you know that it must be the number one general in the other party's lower row, but looking at him now, it seems that if he doesn't make it clear, this prince will still go to him for trouble.
Treat each other so sincerely, they can't help but dare not move.
However, the source of this incident is not so simple.
Ihuasha was afraid that the other party had misunderstood, so he hurriedly learned the etiquette of the human race and explained to him: "Lord Wang, no, it's not the people in the city or Lord Jinglong who are in conflict with us. ”
When Gu Xuan heard this, he suddenly became even more puzzled: "Oh, what's going on?
Ihuasha said in a deep voice: "It's the goshawk tribe!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the other two people beside her, and explained to Gu Xuan: "The people of the Goshawk tribe are the Khan King, this is something that we all discussed in advance, and we have no opinion on this point, but after we migrated from the six directions, they asked for the redistribution of materials in the name of the Khan King, and then sent people to forcibly take away a large amount of property from our parties, and we were forced to come to the prince out of desperation!"
As soon as the prince of the Sand Fox tribe thought of this, he secretly hated in his heart, he hated the unruly behavior of the goshawk tribe, and he didn't understand why they were also angry, why the Adagon of the Viper tribe and the Sturl tribe of the Squirrel tribe didn't come, if they also came today, not to mention overthrowing the throne of the Khan of the goshawk tribe, at least they could cooperate with the people of Liangguo to discuss this matter again.
How would he know that Adagon had already completely surrendered to this side, and Lu Yi had made a lot of promises to him, so he would not be the first bird at this time, as for Stul, he was old and refined, and after secretly showing his sincerity at the last alliance banquet, in order to ensure the interests of his tribe and make amends, he had secretly taken Lu Yi's line at this moment, and now he is probably drinking tea and chatting with Lu Yi.
This Stur is not only proficient in various Chinese languages, but also obviously has much more brain than other Brahmanas, and Lu Yi wants to tap all his abilities so that he can "make the best use of things".
Gu Xuan, who was on the big chair, hesitated for a moment after listening to the other party's explanation, and then said in great embarrassment: "Alas, even if you say this matter to this king, it is useless." ”
"Although you have agreed to Zhao'an, to my Da Liang to express your submission, we are the same family, but in the end it is the two countries, our Da Liang, has always done what he says, and will never interfere in the internal affairs of the Khan, now the goshawk tribe has the name of the Khan, what they do, that is the internal affairs of your Jialuo Khanate, we Da Liang, in the end are outsiders, can not interfere, this matter, this king can not help, you guys, or go back!"
