Volume 11 Zhang Gong North Looking at the Sky Wolf Chapter 1079 Changes
It's not just Ruur Abat and Anheji who are planning for the future, but so are others.
On the evening of this day, both in the tents of Bulu Heitai and Altsas, Tatar nobles were gathered, and while they quarreled and discussed, they fought for the interests of their tribe, but also decided the future of the Tatars.
However, despite such a far-reaching event, the festival could not be delayed for too long.
Such a large army is stationed together, and if Datong had not sent grain and grass to the steppe twice, otherwise, no matter how many Tatar sheep there were, in order to bear the consumption of such a large army, this winter would have been extremely difficult.
The enthusiasm of the warriors was fading, and the cold breath on the steppe was getting heavier, so it was impossible to delay the sacrifice any longer......
At the beginning of August of the third year of the Great Qin Chengwu, in fact, the grassland had already entered the early winter season.
A grand sacrificial ceremony was held in the middle of the Yunwai grassland.
Participating in this ritual were the Tatars, Han Chinese, Mongols, and Barbarians, which can be said to include the main tribes of the central and eastern steppes of the present-day steppe.
Of course, this ritual is mainly based on the Tatars and Han Chinese, and the other two tribes are small in number, and they are preserved as a viewing ceremony.
In fact, it was a Tatar event, but it was dominated by the Han Chinese, and it was actually similar to the alliance, where the nobles of the various tribes of the Tatar tribes gathered, and they brought with them the strongest warriors of the Tatars, not so much a sacrifice as a show of the combined force of the Tatars and the Han Chinese.
On top of this grand gathering of sacrifices to the gods, the most honorable person was not the Great Khan of the Tatars, nor the nobles of the various tribes, nor the envoys of the Mongolian Kereh Department who watched the ceremony, but the Great Qin Dingjun Marquis, the champion general Zhao Shi and Zhao Zhuguo.
When the old shaman placed a certain golden crown on his head, the sky over the steppe echoed with the cheers of Tatar warriors and Han soldiers.
They are cheering and jumping for the same thing, the same people.
The great general of Great Qin became the messenger of the Tatar gods, and this moment is indeed worthy of the memorial of the two clans, and it is indeed worthy of their cheering and roaring.
The Qin soldiers were cheering for their strength, and they looked forward to conquering more tribes under the leadership of the great general in the future, so that the prestige of the Great Qin would spread all over the world.
The Tatars are also cheering for their strength, they have just finished the war, they have punished the betrayers under the messenger of the gods, they have regained their position under the banner of the Khan, and they have won a great victory over the powerful Nabarbarians, and they have been richly rewarded.
They longed for more things than the Han people, they longed for large areas of fertile pastures, they longed for the flocks of sheep that spread over the steppe like white clouds, and they even looked forward to the day when the Tatar royal court stood on the steppe.
That's right, this is a day worth writing about, and it will definitely leave a strong mark in the annals of history.
In the third year of the Great Qin Dynasty, the general Zhao Shi continued to wave his troops northward after conquering Taiyuan and Datong, and in half a year, he not only completely conquered the Tatars, but also defeated the Naiban tribe in the northern grassland.
At the beginning of August, the Tatar nobles and leaders knelt at his feet and offered him their gifts and the loyalty they represented......
Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the midst of all the attention, the general Zhao Shi announced that the sacrifice had begun.
Under the guidance of the old shaman, the general Zhao Shi personally officiated and offered sacrifices to the Tatar gods, then lit bonfires and danced to communicate and please the gods.
When the voice of the great general Zhao Shi spread throughout the grassland, announcing the completion of the sacrifice, the entire grassland suddenly became a sea of joy......
In fact, from this moment on, it also symbolizes the completion of the Great Qin's conquest of the Tatars.
It's not yet complete, but it's a real conquest......
The Great Khan of the Tatars presented a gift to the Emperor of Great Qin to ask for a title, and the Great General of Great Qin became the messenger of the Tatar gods, and used this identity to seal three thousand households and one thousand households, and roughly began to build the ruling class of the Tatars.
It is easy to foresee what will happen if this continues, and with the arrival of the trade, the Tatars will begin to learn the Chinese language, intermarry with the Han Chinese, and become more and more identified with the Han civilization, the Tatars will gradually lose their independence and become a steppe tribe closely attached to the Han people......
When Han Chinese officials slowly appeared among the Tatars and further expanded their influence among the Tatars, in fact, the Tatars were no different from the inside.
The significance of Zhao Shi's division of the grassland nobles is far from being the unity and Tatar tribes, which can be summarized, and it is not exactly the same as the Tang Dynasty's policy of using official titles and marriages to establish a capital protectorate and divide and suppress to stabilize the grassland tribes.
The foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty was the most complicated in the past dynasties, and it is precisely because of this that it represents its strength.
But it still follows the most important foreign policy of the Han family, that is, the autonomy of the Hu people, the attached grassland tribes do not talk about him, for the huge Han population, the internal attachment is actually equivalent to assimilation, but the disadvantages of the internal attachment are also very obvious, the danger of northern secession is further increased, and the pressure on the population is increased, and the living space of the Han people is compressed.
Hu autonomy, this is since ancient times, regardless of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the most fundamental policy for the grassland tribes, the head of the grassland tribal leader, there may be the Han family's official titles, titles, etc., but the internal affairs of the Hu people, in addition to the inheritance, the Han family rarely intervenes.
can't intervene, limited by the times, for the Hu tribes in the south and north of the desert, no matter how strong the Han Empire is, it is beyond the reach of the whip......
What Zhao Shi has done now seems to be only sealing 30,000 households and 1,000 households, but in the long run, he has begun to change the almost unchanged fundamental strategy......
Of course, this kind of historical analogy has no meaning, it is man-made, and history never looks at the process, only the result.
History also tells us that whether the policy is good or bad, it all varies from person to person, just like faith, any faith is from the good side as the starting point, but in fact, faith never only represents beauty, teaches people to be good, may become a tool for accumulating wealth, spread the gospel, and may become a war of aggression......
Therefore, it has nothing to do with the original intention, and in the end, it depends on whether the person who executes it is effective......
Without further ado, the ceremony is complete, and it is another celebration.
This time, even the most energetic warriors felt tired, the bonfire was lit, the warriors who had already sung hoarse stopped singing, and the dancing people with sore backs and weak legs stopped jumping.
Even the people who drank some disgusting good wine also felt a little uncomfortable when they smelled the wine, so the celebration of this night seemed extraordinarily quiet.
But in the most spacious tent, the atmosphere was solemn and warm.
The nobles did not enter the tent, but gathered around the campfire not far from the tent, whispering while their eyes involuntarily aimed in the direction of the tent from time to time.
The envoys of the Kereh tribe still sat in their honorable positions, looking at the absent-minded Tatar nobles around them, and the Mongol maidens did not laugh at them.
There was a hint of worry in her originally pure eyes, which made her look a little more mature.
"The Tatars are different......"
Without Timur by his side, Tusahe completely revealed his bold and enthusiastic temperament, and in the past few days, he has been drinking with people, making friends with many Tatar warriors, and using his strong body and skilled wrestling skills to gain some prestige for himself.
Hearing his sister's muttering, he poured a sip of wine fiercely, shook his head and said nonchalantly: "What's the difference, too, staying with these guys, I always feel out of breath, and I will go to wrestle with someone for a while, well, no matter where I go, my sister's reputation is always older than his brother, and those guys want to see you and show their martial prowess in front of the treasures of the Kerebu......"
At this, the very proud Tusahe laughed, and his laughter made many people look at him, and in normal times, it is likely that someone would have mocked the rudeness of the Mongols in a voice that would not be heard by the guests, but now, no one is in the mood for that.
The Mongolian girl clenched her little fists, and if she had half the strength of that fierce woman, she would definitely give her brother a hard blow and knock him unconscious, so as not to upset him by looking at it.
There is no need to persuade anything, this brother has been like this since he was a child, Abba's beating and scolding, and the teachings of the wise old man can't change him by half a point.
As the future successor of the Kerebu, that is, the Great Khan of the Kerebu, this elder brother is undoubtedly inappropriate, but as the eldest son of Abba, and Aba experienced the tragic battle of the Kereb when he was a child, so he stubbornly chose his eldest son as his heir, and from the moment the eldest son was born, such a mind has never changed.
The Tatars are becoming stronger, they even want to establish their own royal court, but what is happening to the once powerful Kreeb?
Even if she marries such a hero, will he think about her and the Kreebe?
The Mongolian girl was full of worries about her future and that of the Kerebu......
