Volume 11 Zhang Gong looked north to shoot the wolf Chapter 1081 Winter
A few days after the ceremony, the army returned to the place where it had chosen for the winter.
The Tatars were contented with 6 and dispersed, after all, this was not the tent of the Tatars, and the royal court was still in everyone's imagination.
Winter is coming, many people must return to their tribes, so as not to lose their tribes in the winter, and leaving the tribe for too long will damage the authority of the tribe, and the frequency of change of the tribal leaders on the grassland is very high.
Their sons, nephews, or the nobles of the tribe will try their best to compete for the leadership of the tribe, which can be said to be the most primitive nature of the steppe people, so the nobles generally do not leave their tribe for a long time.
Of course, this time is different, when they return to the tribe with such official positions as Qianhu and Baihu, it will make their prestige soar, and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to take power away from them until the day comes when they are not confused.
But then again, it also symbolizes that they are more constrained, and while accepting an official position, it also means that they may lose their official position, and in general, the joy outweighs the sorrow, but the worry is after all.
This made them more connected to the sweat tent and the Han Chinese, but the more they were controlled......
They didn't take their own warriors with them, because during the winter they would do some "drills" in preparation for next year's war with the barbarians.
According to the two lords, some commanders, centurions and other generals will be elected, and the tribal leaders are not interested in such official positions, they are not like the Mongols, they are more like barbarians.
They will lead their own tribe's warriors to participate in the war, but unless they have to, they will generally not lead the warriors to fight the enemy, and the life of a nobleman is much more precious than the life of ten brave warriors, which is a common understanding of the steppe tribes.
However, they will recommend some people close to them to take up such positions in order to show the existence of their tribe and strengthen their tribe.
However, they don't have to worry too much about this, because the general who is selected to lead the warriors in battle this time is presided over by the most honorable person, and it is no longer decided by the dignity of the bloodline.
This undoubtedly embarrassed them a little, but it was also very reassuring, almost all of them had this mind, in their minds, this messenger of the gods, was a generous and just person, once such a perception was formed, it was difficult to change it, but it was those tens of thousands of households that made them suspicious......
From this point of view, it took Zhao Shi a year to establish a lofty image in the minds of the Tatars, of course, this was created by victory, and the generous distribution of the rich spoils of war, and many other means, which was not so easy.
In fact, there are some reasons for these noble leaders to leave happily, such as having become a member of several thousand households, so there are many things to do, how to express their respect and loyalty to the main department, it is inevitable to offer gifts, such as a part of their own subordinates and sheep, as well as let their most valued son to guard the ten thousand households, etc., etc., they need to return to their own tribe to arrange.
For example, many people are planning to move their tribes north next spring, because most of the Tatar tribes have retreated to the southern part of the steppe in the clouds because of the war.
After more than half a year, the grassland there is estimated to be no longer suitable for grazing, and a more fertile and abundant pasture must be found.
Moreover, the closer it is to the army outside the clouds, it will be easier to feed the army, and it may be easier to receive more booty from the army......
However, this is also a great risk, and the barbarians are likely to send their cavalry to the clouds and the grasslands outside the clouds to raid, so not only do they have to prepare enough, but they also need to wait and see for a while.
This is undoubtedly a big deal that requires a precise and long-term vision and some courage and luck......
This winter, the grassland is not peaceful, but few people know what happened to the Tatar steppe in the winter of the third year of the Great Qin Chengwu.
Even Zhao Shi, who was in the middle of it and created this qiē, was not too clearly aware of the changes that had been born to the Tatars.
In fact, in this winter, the military and political affairs of the Tatars were quietly separated, and the generals who led the warriors in battle were no longer selected from among the nobles, as was the tradition of the steppe, and many of the brave and warlike generals were selected from among the ordinary tribal warriors of humble origins, one of whom was a ten-captain and a slave.
Of course, according to the customs and habits of the steppe, the military and political affairs of the steppe people cannot be completely separated, and even if generals are selected from ordinary people and led soldiers to fight, over time, a new aristocratic class will only be formed.
This is nothing new in the steppes, like the Mongols, who are rushing forward on this road......
But to make a change in the old framework, for the time being, the benefits were obvious, the warriors' enthusiasm for battle was aroused, and soon a phrase that circulated from the Han Chinese was accepted by many Tatar warriors.
The prince will have a kind of ......
This sentence, which made the land of China war-torn endlessly, was recognized by many ordinary Tatar warriors, and some Tatars with ambitions that did not match their identities emerged one after another, and soon formed a loose and broad group, faintly forming a balance and confrontation with the old Tatar aristocracy.
Of course, this is a matter of the future, and for now, the morale of the Tatar warriors continues to rise, and some warlike people have been selected as generals, so that the Tatars' combat power is constantly improving.
This is actually equivalent to a Ding Revolution, but few people will realize it......
In such a quiet change, the Yunwai grassland ushered in the first snow of winter
The wind was howling, and the snowflakes were flying in the wind, and soon the grassland was dyed a faint white.
In the middle of August, braving the gradually cold wind, Mu Huali finally returned to the Yunwai grassland with sudden difficulty, and found the location of the army with great difficulty.
Rushing back and forth, everyone was in a state of hardship, and nearly half of the 1,000 Qin army elites brought out by the two of them stayed in the distant northeast grassland forever.
Everyone had frozen faces and white lips, and the war horses were all black, thin and thin like people, but there were more than 2,000 soldiers when they went out and turned around.
Most of them fought against the Kereb, and after the defeat, they found the Tatars who offered their loyalty, not counting the 2,000 soldiers that Muhuali left behind for Sangkun.
All the people who came back looked ugly like ghosts, but these warriors were really the survivors of a hundred battles, and they all participated in the battle of Koyida and survived that battle.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are the top warriors in the world, they can endure cold, hunger, pain and other unbearable torture that ordinary people can't bear, they have seen war scenes that ordinary people can't imagine, they have killed countless enemies, their courage and tenacity have been tempered by that battle.
The reason why they can be said to be comparable to the top fighters in the world is that they can wield terrifying combat power in a specific environment and defeat enemies several times or even dozens of times their own.
Just like the soldiers of the Qin army who participated in the Battle of Taiyuan Mansion, almost no one can defeat them in the frontal battlefield, these are two completely different advantages, and they can be divided into the top ranks of the soldiers.
Of course, the two people who returned here, Mu Huali and Kunan, not only brought the news of the split of the Kereh, but also brought back the news that the Mongol tribes were heading south, both of which were undoubtedly surprising.
Zhao Shi inquired in detail about the life process, but he couldn't figure out the good or bad too deeply.
Although the Kereh tribe was divided, it still blocked the ambition of the Mongol tribes to advance westward, but no one can predict how long the divided Kereh tribe could hold back......
The Mongol tribes went south to fight with the Jin people, which is good news, but it is still impossible to predict how long the Jin people can support, of course, if the Jin country can defeat the Mongolian tribes that are not too strong, it is the best, but that possibility is not great, they are only on the defensive, and there is no good way to defeat the steppe cavalry, so they can only endure the raids again and again.
What's more, there was not only a lot of internal strife in Jin, but also enemies like Great Qin were eyeing him, making it impossible for him to focus on the Mongol tribes in the north......
On the contrary, the Mongolian tribes can get a large number of people from the Jin country or something, Zhao Shi doesn't care, the terrible place of the Mongolian tribes is always his cavalry, and getting the population and wealth will only make them corrupt quickly, and drag down the footsteps of the Mongolian iron cavalry......
Perhaps, they will get some craftsmen, armor, weapons, and the like, but that will not be enough to compensate for the greatest shortcoming of the Mongol tribes, which is the problem of replenishment of the Mongol cavalry, which is so small in number that they will not be able to obtain qualified reinforcements until they have conquered the steppe tribes such as the Kereb and Naiman tribes.
Plundering the Kingdom of Jin will make them look strong, but in fact their combat power is weakening.
In this regard, Zhao Shi is very confident, and he is not mistaken, but in such a war, the Jin State may soon collapse, become the appearance of the princes, and be swallowed up by the Mongols one by one, this time is difficult to master, so the war against the Naiban tribe must be accelerated...... (To be continued...!)
