Volume 11 Zhang Gong Looks North and Shoots the Sky Wolf Chapter 1122 The Covenant (17)
No matter what the other people thought, the conclusion of the covenant was quickly settled in the deliberations of several tribes, and the written covenant is now invisible.
There are not a few things about tearing up the covenant on the grassland, and the grassland Hu people have no faith, which is a bit excessive, but on the grassland, the oath is not a solid thing, of course, compared to the Han people, the oath of the grassland people is more binding, which is an indisputable fact.
But then again, when it comes to the covenant, the Han people attach more importance to the covenant than the Hu people.
This alliance, with such a covenant that rarely appears on the prairie, is at least much more reassuring than a verbal oath, and with credentials, it is more real than empty white teeth.
The most fundamental thing of the covenant was written by Zhao Shi himself, which was nothing more than two things, one was non-aggression against each other, and the other was to fight the enemy together.
It seems simple, but in fact there are many details of constraints, the first is equivalent to the protection of each ministry to its own territory, to ensure that allies will not wantonly attack and conquer, eliminate the possibility of civil strife, and there are small clauses to explain, and in the end, once there is a dispute, if it can be resolved in private, it will be resolved in private, and when the dispute arises, the two departments are not satisfied.
Then a small council was to be called, and all the tribes sent messengers to discuss with each other, and the result of the ruling, whether everyone was satisfied or some were not, was to be accepted.
It is strictly forbidden for various ministries to send troops to kill each other, which is the basis of this article, and if anyone violates it, they will be severely punished by other ministry.
This one is for the Alliance. The benefits are clear. But in the long run. This article is likely to make the grassland Hu people bigger, and for the Han people, it is not too much in line with the purpose of the Han people.
But then again, as long as the Han people are a little stronger, they don't think that the Hu people can leave the Han people aside and do their own thing, in fact, it is still the old saying, they can't do it. No matter how good a covenant is, it is useless, and in the end, it depends on your own strength.
And now it seems that under this alliance, the pattern of the central steppe has in fact been set, and the coexistence of the three tribes here has also limited their mutual annexation and powerful ways in disguise.
As for the second article, the common enemy, the Qin people occupy an absolute dominant position in it, and have the power to recruit all departments to participate in the war, and the other departments. But there is no such authority, only the power to share the spoils of war.
Of course. In order to appease them, there are also rules, such as when a tribe is threatened by a foreign tribe, the other tribes have the obligation to help it fight, see the size of the force, and also have the right to receive the spoils of war.
In fact, most of these are based on some treaties of later generations, and the binding force is naturally far less powerful and strict than that of later generations, but it can already unite several tribes closely.
In this way, in fact, the Qin people have obtained the right to recruit troops on the grassland, which seems to have an equal taste, but has begun to take shape as the Eight Banners of later generations.
The covenant was finally decided, and the day of the alliance was not far off, and the tribal leaders, who had spent a lot of energy, gathered together and finally began to discuss the details of the alliance.
Compared to signing the covenant, the affairs of the alliance are actually much simpler......
In the late autumn season, on the steppe outside the clouds, a grand alliance finally kicked off, both the number of participants and the number of tribes that came here, which was unprecedented since the collapse of the Great Turkic Empire.
After receiving the invitation, the guests from all tribes who came here to participate in the alliance came to their seats with complicated expressions, watching a series of grand scenes, many people changed their thoughts and made all kinds of difficult decisions.
However, no matter what they thought, everyone understood that after the Central Grassland was defeated in the Nabarian Tribe, the overlord here did not seem to change much except that it had changed from one to three.
Moreover, the few tribes that occupy this place may not be as strong as the Naiman tribe, but they have a vitality and enterprising spirit that the Naiman tribe does not have, and besides, except for the Han people, several other tribes have deep roots in the grassland.
The Tatars have always occupied the steppes outside the clouds, and the Kerebu, as a branch of the Mongol tribes, is one of the oldest surviving tribes among the Mongol tribes.
As for the Nabarians among them, not to mention, they were almost completely born from the Nabarian tribe, although they played the role of losers, but the influence they had in the central and northern grasslands did not disappear, as long as they can consolidate their position in the alliance, they may be second only to the Han in this tribal alliance in the future.
This time, so many people came that they couldn't even sit in a tent.
Therefore, when the alliance was held this time, a new camp was almost built, and long tables and chairs were placed far away, and in front of these tables and chairs, there was a high platform, and many flags were flying on the high platform......
According to their own rules, the Prairie people invited the guests and their entourage to take their seats, so that the most honorable person could ascend to the high platform and become one of the most valued guests of the host.
Several tribes of the alliance were very well prepared, and not only the friends of several tribes came here, but also their enemies, but several tribes showed their hearts and minds, and did not use some small means to take the opportunity to humiliate their enemies, and all the envoys who came here were treated accordingly, and did not do anything in the seats.
For example, the envoys of the Mongol tribes came to the high platform, and it was obvious that several tribes recognized the strength of the Mongol tribes, but looking at the people on the high platform, the envoys of the Mongol tribes must be very embarrassed now, because almost all around them were enemies.
The Mir beggars, the Tatars, the barbarians, and the Kereh tribes, with the exception of the Qin and Tatars, who had nothing to do with the Mongol tribes, all had quarrels with them, and that dispute was not too far away.
The central grassland, because of the long-term suppression of the barbarian tribe, there are only two tribal leaders who are qualified to go to the high platform, and both have a good reputation.
However, a good reputation also means that the tribe behind them is not very strong, and many people also understand that these two old guys can walk on the high platform, they must have offered their loyalty to the new master, and many of the barbarian tribal leaders who came here cursed in their hearts, cunning old guys......
Several tribal leaders from the northern wasteland also came to the high platform, and among them, except for the Athena tribe, which is known for its bravery and good warfare, everyone else has ancient noble blood flowing in their bodies, and an old man is a descendant of the Huns.
Although the glory of the Huns has long disappeared in the vast grasslands, in the Western Regions, and even in many places further west, there are legends left by the Huns, where their reputation is more awe-inspiring than that of the Turks, and even some Turkic descendants are mistakenly called the Huns by the locals.
However, in any case, this alliance also shows the decline of the grassland tribes from another aspect, and there are fewer and fewer tribes on the grassland that can be called noble and powerful.
It is needless to say that the barbarians and Tatars, but the Mongols in the northeast, together with the Tatars and the Mierbegs, are actually descendants of the former Murowei people, but although they have such origins, they have always been a symbol of barbarism.
And now look at it, they have become the new upstart of the grassland.
The era of the Khitans, Jurchens, and Tangut people in the grassland has passed, and now these tribes, one by one, do not seem to hate the powerful, but they all occupy a large area of the grassland, and the replacement of the old and the new on the grassland has been quietly completed?
But it's not quiet, think about it, the days of stormy clouds on the grassland have never stopped in the past ten years, and the source of this qiē is actually still in the northeast.
In the process of unifying the Mongol tribes in the northeast, they had constantly collided and fought with the Nabarbarians, Tatars, and Mirbegs, and in the end, not only expelled the Kereh tribe, but also defeated their enemies.
That turmoil, by extension, was the war between the Nabarians and the Kerebu, as well as the civil strife and revival of the Tatars, and even the defeat of the Nabarians afterwards.
In this war, all the tribes of the steppe have been hit hard, and the tribes here seem to be strong, but in fact, they are all scarred and exhausted......
But between the left and right, there is no one who can compete with them, they have come to a very wonderful time period, there is a faint confrontation, but there is a balance.
Among them, none of them has the ability to annex the other, and now it seems that the strength of the Mongol tribes is the strongest, but when several tribes unite, the Mongol tribes can only sigh with admiration.
In fact, the arrival of the Qin was the key to establishing this balance, not only did they defeat the Naiman tribe before the Mongol tribes, but they also quickly united all the tribes of the central steppe, and suppressed the Mongol tribes in the northeastern steppe.
If they could not defeat the Naiban tribe, there would be no later war to annex the Kereh tribe, and the losses of the Mongol tribes were much greater than they thought......
(A chapter at seven o'clock, and then Ah Cao worked hard, and the code came out on a chapter, whether to save it, or immediately, Ah Cao thought about it, hehe...... But there are two to three chapters at most, and the grassland volume is over, but what do you say, in fact, Ah Cao wrote it so far, the most satisfying thing is this volume, Ah Cao was born there, although he is not a Mongolian, but he is quite familiar with it, many customs and habits on the grassland, Ah Cao does not need to check and know, so, for the description of the grassland people, Ah Cao himself thinks it is very real, unlike when describing the Central Plains, he always unconsciously brings out some taste of the story, which is also a shortcoming of Ah Cao, But in this volume of the grassland, absolutely no one can find fault with this, hehe, talking to himself, not accounting for the number of words...... )
